Chapter 176 Light Speed ​​Hammer

Minamino Shunichi felt very comfortable, he enjoyed the attention of people around him.

Therefore, when playing, the facial expressions and body movements are even more exaggerated. In the Japanese and Korean competition areas, the media often say that Nanye Shunichi is a performer in the piano world, and the piano performance he brings is a visual and auditory enjoyment.

Such compliments, Minano Shunichi liked it very much.

He is not as quiet and typical as other pianists, but a slightly vain person.

When he was a teenager, because of his youthful rebellion, he abandoned his piano playing all the time, and turned to learn and understand various modern electronic musical instruments, which also laid the foundation for him to enter the animation industry in the future.

Therefore, compared to noble and quiet concert halls, he prefers to perform amateur performances in nightclubs or downtown with a laptop and a player on his back.

However, as he got older, he felt angry and helpless at the belittling of pop music by the world.

Last year, his cousin Hideichi Minamino successfully won the global championship of the [-]nd One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition. He suddenly transformed from an unknown pianist to one of the most popular pianists in Asia. The child is to recognize the reality.

Therefore, after a year of training, he came to the [-]rd One Emperor Four Emperors Piano Competition.

Everyone in the Nanye family has a pair of beautiful and slender hands.

These hands make people in this family become all kinds of craftsmen, including surgeons with superb medical skills, professional players in the e-sports circle, programmers and pianists. Every Nanye family has extremely high social status. status.

For example, Shunichi Minano's father is a well-known pianist in China.

Such a family background also gave Junichi Minano a better foundation for training.

Now, all the way to the global finals, Nanye Jun's desire for a championship is already determined to win.

However, when he saw the video of Uncle A's performance in the Huaxia Division, he was immediately attracted by the other party's dreamlike playing technique. In addition, many of Uncle A's piano pieces were almost all attracted. caught his gaze.

In addition to the showy works like "Flight of the Bumblebee", works such as "Electromagnetic Cannon", "Exodus from the Western Regions", and "Unravel" gave him an illusion of sympathy.

Because almost all of these songs are a combination of classical music and pop music, and each has its own strengths. This is exactly what Shunichi Minano has always hoped to do.

And the song "Flight of the Bumblebee" he is playing now is also famous in Neon Island.

This work has faintly become a racing track used by modern pianists. It has been practiced by many pianists. There are not many virtuosic chords in it, and many scales are used repeatedly. For performance-level pianists It's not too difficult, and you can use it proficiently after practicing a few times.

But many people found that this piece of music can infinitely increase the limit of hand speed.

When Liao Yuan performed this piece in the China Finals, the whole piece lasted about 40 minute and [-] seconds.

It takes at least 2 minutes for the average person to play this piece of music without missing a single note.

For a real grand pianist, a piano piece of about 2 minutes, as long as the hand speed is fast enough, can be squeezed into the limit of 1 minute.

Minano Shunichi also joined this racing game and achieved good results.

Therefore, people watching in front of the public piano clearly heard a huge mosquito buzzing continuously in the piano string cover.

The audience was in an uproar.

"Great!"

"God, I'm reviewing the principles of communication, and I feel like I'm going to fly when I hear this!"

"The prize should be his!"

When the song ended, Nanye Shunichi felt the burning sensation in his fingertips, and he glanced at the timer placed on the piano.

The 2-minute "Flight of the Bumblebee" was compressed to 22 minute and [-] seconds by him.

"One minute and 22 seconds, very good, who else wants to challenge this song "Flight of the Bumble Bee"!"

Next to it, an old man with a beard said loudly: "If there is no one, my Rolex Black Water Ghost will be his!"

"Give it to him!"

"No one is faster than him!"

"Yes, he is the top pianist in Asia!"

"The champion seed of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition!"

There was constant laughter.

Nanye Jun laughed. He was about to get up and take the watch, but a figure next to him took his place. He turned his head in astonishment, and saw a handsome yellow man smiling at him.

The scene fell silent.

"Japanese?"

Nanye Junyi tried to ask in Japanese, but seeing the other party's confused face, he asked again in Korean: "Korean?"

Liao Yuan couldn't understand what Junichi Minano was talking about.

He nodded to Nan Yejun, and then asked the bearded old man in English: "Sir, is this a competition? What are the rules?"

The bearded old man looked at Liao Yuan, his eyes lit up: "Can you play "Flight of the Bumblebee"? As long as your speed exceeds 22 minute and [-] seconds, this watch is yours. It is worth seven thousand euros!"

6 euros, and [-] to [-] yuan.

Liao Yuan smiled and said, "I understand."

Immediately, he signaled Nanye Shunichi to step back, and then lightly tested the tone and feel of the piano.

Although it is a public piano, its performance is perfect in all aspects because someone maintains the piano every week. Although the feel is not as good as the piano at home, it can be regarded as an entry-level piano.

So, under the gaze of dozens of people in the audience, and the flow of countless people around, Liao Yuan put his hands on the keys for about five seconds. A single finger turned into a meteor all over the sky, bombarding all the keys rapidly.

It's still the song "Flight of the Bumble Bee".

but……

People stare.

Even Junichi Minano was stunned.

Liao Yuan's hand speed seems to have surpassed the limit that can be discerned by the naked eye. Under such a high-speed tapping of the keys, the specific ups and downs of the key's return stroke cannot be seen at all.

If it weren't for the many people around watching the scene, people might have thought it was a computer-edited picture.

Liao Yuan is also rare serious.

Experimental records show that on a single string, the speed at which the human hand shakes once is within 80 milliseconds at the fastest, that is, almost 13 times a second. Considering one shake, two tones are produced one time at a time. , so that is 2 tones.

1 tones in 26 second, that is, 60 tones in 1560 seconds.

Therefore, the fastest is 390 beats per minute, which is the limit action of human hand shake.

Anything that exceeds this speed is basically the result of missing, omitting, mixing, or missing many notes.

When Shunichi Minano played "Flight of the Bumble Bee", the fastest speed could reach 1000 minute and 16 seconds, and about [-] tones were played per minute, a total of [-] tones per second.

But this time, he did not surpass his previous speed, only hitting one minute and 29 seconds.

But seeing the Asian playing in front of him, he found that no matter how good he performed, it was impossible to reach the opponent's hand speed.

Just judging by the pianist's intuition, the speed of this Asian man's piano playing has reached more than 300 beats per minute, and more than 22 notes per second.

And not only is the speed fast, every sound is also extremely clear.

In this kind of entry-level piano, Nanye Shunichi was shocked to be able to play at such a terrifying speed.

This isn't Flight of the Bumblebee anymore.

This is the speed of light hammer piano...

Moreover, the other party was completely blushing and breathless, and even occasionally looked at the timer.

This frightened Nanye Shunichi.

Soon, among the stunned crowd, the song "Flight of the Bumble Bee" finished playing.

The number displayed on the timer is 47.01 seconds.

The 2-minute piece is compressed to 47.01 seconds, and the note is not bad...

Nanye Shunichi murmured: "After death, I finally know who Kato Taka's master is."

The bearded old man put away the timer, and when everyone was still in a daze, he suddenly said, "Can I see your hand? Friend."

Liao Yuan was puzzled, but still spread his hands.

The bearded old man touched these hands, and said obsessively: "It's so beautiful."

Liao Yuan felt a chill, and hurriedly said his hand back, got up and asked, "Can I get your prize?"

The bearded old man came to his senses and quickly offered the gift box in his hands.

Liao Yuan opened it and took a look. It was indeed a Rolex Water Ghost series, but he was not interested in watches, so he turned to the surrounding people and said, "Among you, is there anyone who can play "March of the Volunteers"? As long as someone can play it completely This piece of music, this watch, I will pass it on as a gift."

There was an uproar at the scene.

The stunned crowd also reacted, and were immediately excited.

But after listening to the content carefully, everyone was stunned.

"March of the Volunteers? Never heard of it!"

"Why did he say that?"

"God, he's not kidding us!"

The crowd at the scene talked a lot.

But soon, someone searched for this song on the mobile Internet.

"He is from China, and "March of the Volunteers" is the national anthem of China!"

People were taken aback.

At this moment, a little girl with a brown ponytail came out bouncingly, sat on the piano with her little buttocks, and began to play "March of the Volunteers".

Beside, the little girl's mother smiled and said to the people around her, "My husband is from Huaxia."

When the complete "March of the Volunteers" was over, Liao Yuan rubbed the little girl's hair and handed the watch over with a smile.

The little girl gave the watch to her mother.

After receiving the gift box, the little girl's mother looked at Liao Yuan in a daze: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true." Liao Yuan shrugged.

The mother said happily: "Thank you, thank you, the little baby's father just needs a watch."

When the crowd saw this scene, they were all amazed and applauded.

But at this time, Nanye Shunichi and the bearded old man slowly recalled it.

Chinese?
The next moment, both of them opened their eyes wide.

But Liao Yuan and Xing Tao had already quietly left and disappeared into the crowd.

Two days later.

Amsterdam Concert Hall.

Music lovers from all over the world gathered together. At 2000 o'clock in the evening, the two floors of the arena, with a total of more than [-] seats, were filled up one after another.

Outside the arena, in front of a huge OLED display screen, the promotional video for the finals of the [-]rd One Emperor and Four Emperor Piano Competition is being played in real time.

In the promotional video, there are highlights of the performances of players from the five competition areas of China, Japan and South Korea, Europe, North America, and Wild Card. On the lawn and in front of the road under the display, dense crowds of people are waiting for the start of the competition.

The surrounding roads were also closed by the police because of the coming of this grand event. It was almost difficult for any vehicle to drive in, and people could only walk on foot.

The people who finally stand out from each competition area this time have extremely high popularity.

Among them, God A from the China division, Shunichi Minano from the Japan and Korea division, and Lenny James, a black player from the wild card division, are the most popular and the first time they participated in the One Emperor Four Emperors Competition.

Billy Broad from the European division and Christopher Gracie from the North American division were both players who made their appearances last year, but they regretted not being in the top ten in this division.

Especially Billy Broad, who has already participated in the competition, but every time he participates, people can see obvious progress from him, but despite the progress, the hope of winning the championship of the finals, but the fifth place The lowest among the players.

Six twenty in the evening.

The [-]rd One Emperor Four Emperors International Piano Competition is about to begin.

It is worth mentioning that each of the [-] spectators in the infield has a voting right. In addition, there are ten judges from the International Music Association, each of whom basically has prestige and strength in the industry. However, the review does not have voting rights, only the right to make suggestions.

After all, it is a competition in the popular piano industry, everything is based on commercialization, and audience satisfaction counts.

The rules of the competition are similar to those of the China General Division, but the voters were replaced by [-] spectators.

Backstage.

Nanye Junyi knocked on Liao Yuan's rest room, and when the door of the rest room opened, Nanye Junyi first saw a big man with a full face.

He swallowed, and asked awkwardly in English, "Hi, is God A there? I'm Shunichi Minano."

Xing Tao looked at Jun Nanye for a while, and then turned around and said, "Boss, what did he say?"

In the lounge, Liao Yuan was drinking hot tea. He raised his head and smiled when he heard the movement, "Let him in."

Next to him, Fu Xiaoci closed the fashion magazine in his hand, looked warily at Junichi Nanye who came in, and said to Liao Yuan in Chinese: "Are you here to spy on the enemy?"

"You think too much." Liao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Then he stood up and shook hands with Nanye Shunichi kindly: "Hello, we meet again."

"It's really you!" Nanye Junyi looked at Liao Yuan in shock, he even hesitated to shake hands.

Liao Yuan didn't wear a mask, he nodded and smiled, "It's me, what's the matter?"

"Yes... no... yes..."

Nanye Shun stammered.

Fu Xiaoci asked strangely: "Is there, or is there not?"

"No!" Nanye Jun stared at Liao Yuan, swallowed, and said in embarrassment: "I just came to confirm my guess, I didn't expect you to admit it so openly..."
