Chapter 264 A Pun

The visitor was about 30 years old, dressed in suits and leather shoes. Although his appearance was ordinary, he gave off a kind of elegance and dryness who had read poetry and books. It was Shunichi Minano.

Followed by two assistants.

Liao Yuan was a little surprised, but still invited the other party to sit down.

"Shizuoka is my hometown, but Hamamatsu is the favorite place for musicians to hang out, so I often live in Hamamatsu."

As soon as Nanye Jun drank a glass of sake, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I heard from others that you came to Hamamatsu, so I rushed over immediately, Liao Sang, I haven't seen you for half a year since the state banquet in Kyoto in the past, have you ever You promised me to contact me as soon as you come to Japan, you have broken your promise!"

"Feel sorry."

Liao Yuan pointed to the cameraman behind him, and said helplessly, "This time I came to Hamamatsu to shoot a show, and I will probably return to China tomorrow, and the schedule is in a hurry..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Nanye Jun laughed and waved his hands quickly: "I'm just joking. Of course, I hope Liao Sang can notify me in advance when he comes to Japan next time, so that I can be a landlord."

Liao Yuan then introduced Lin Weiyin and others to Junichi Nanye, and explained the rules of the program for this shooting.

The latter looked at Lin Weiyin and said with some disappointment, "Lin Sang, I didn't expect you and Liao Sang to be boyfriend and girlfriend, congratulations."

Lin Weiyin's face turned hot, but she still said calmly, "Thank you."

Liao Yuan sensed something was wrong, and looked at the lost Minano Shunichi with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Lin Weiyin quickly explained: "Mr. Junyi is one of the judges of the Hamamatsu Piano Competition, we met before."

"Yes, Lin Sang is the favorite to win this year's Hamamatsu Piano Competition. Her talent on the piano is amazing, especially Chopin's works, which are deeply loved by our judges. Besides Chopin, Beethoven, She is also proficient in the works of Bach, Rachmaninoff and other pianists, and it can be said that if nothing else, Lin Sang is the No.1 in this Hamamatsu Piano Competition."

Minano Junichi said seriously: "But tomorrow's final will be performed by the designated pianist. In addition to the three designated works, we will also play a new piece specially composed by a Japanese composer for the 10th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition... ..."

"Play four works in a row, and the player with the highest total points will be ranked first. I hope Lin Sang can get his wish."

After Nanye Shunichi met Liao Yuan, he knew that Liao Yuan was filming a show, so he didn't stay too long. After chatting for a few minutes, he learned that Liao Yuan would go to the competition site tomorrow, so he happily left the barbecue shop.

Soon, Liao Yuan and Lin Weiyin ate a little. After tasting the so-called Kobe beef, they wandered around the night view of Hamamatsu City together.

The next day, Liao Yuan went to the Hamamatsu International Music Hall, the venue of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition.

The venue can accommodate about 500 people. The shape and size of the auditorium, the decoration materials used, the air-conditioning equipment, etc. have all been designed through architectural acoustics to ensure the best acoustic effect and meet the requirements of international high-level performances.

When Liao Yuan came to the music hall, the mayor of Hamamatsu City was speaking on the stage, and there were many media filming quietly under the stage.

After a while of chattering Japanese, the competition officially started.

Since the music hall does not allow filming in the audience hall, the film crew of "Love Travel" can only secretly shoot secretly in the background, but the shots will constantly switch between Liao Yuan in the auditorium and Lin Weiyin in the contestant's seat.

Although the two are far apart, they seem to be close at hand under the camera.

The Hamamatsu Piano Competition has no nationality restrictions, and a total of six contestants entered the competition site.

Except for one European and American player, the rest are all Asian faces, but their nationalities are different, such as Thailand, South Korea, and China. Of course, there are also two Japanese players.

The game is divided into four rounds.

In the first round, the six contestants need to play the well-tempered piano collection by the famous composer Bach.

There are a total of 48 preludes and fugues in the composition collection, which are the greatest works of Bach's keyboard music.

This set of works is the pinnacle of Bach's music creation. The great pianist Bülow once compared it to the "Old Testament" in music. At the same time, well-balanced temperament is also the basic temperament of European music.

Contestants can choose any work in the "Well Tempered Piano Collection" to perform.

Lin Weiyin was the first to appear on the stage. She chose the first piece in C major of the first volume of the piano music collection as the opening piece, and soon played it under the attention of the audience.

The continuous piano sound, like a ray of breeze, blows on people's faces,
Bach's average temperament is the basic temperament of European music. This basic temperament is the basis for the creation of Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and others. Therefore, in this average temperament, players can play different songs according to their emotions. artistic conception.

It can be played as a common sound pattern, or a hidden melody can be played, and even a certain internal part can be highlighted in the performance.

You can play it faster, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.

You can also play slowly, just like the bright moonlight in front of the bed.

Of course, it can also be played into a song-like Andante...

The average law may seem simple, but it is the basis of all European and American legal systems, so it is very rich in meaning.

The six parts move relatively independently, and the harmony is also very beautiful. In the "Well-tempered Piano Music Collection", the use of overtones, seventh chords, and modulations has been very mature. Or rhythmically played, it sounds very nice.

The key lies in the personal creation of the players.

Lin Weiyin's playing is neither fast nor slow, just like a generation of piano masters, it seems that there is no exciting rhythm at all.

It's like the most mundane and ordinary well-tempered performance.

However, it is this calm performance, which seems to be returning to the basics and seems to make people indifferent, but in the ears of a real pianist, it is as shocking as a thunderbolt from the blue.

The entire judges' seat was slightly commotiond.

Among them, Minano Shunichi's excitement was even more obvious.

Lin Weiyin's performance surpassed everyone present, even the judges, and no one could compete with him.

You must know that the No.1 of the Chopin International Piano Competition has been vacant for two consecutive sessions before Lin Weiyin, a champion who can win the gold medal, appeared.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the three major world classical music competitions, representing the highest level in the world.

In the whole of China, Lin Weiyin is the only one who can get the No.1 in the past, and most of the others just stop at the silver and bronze awards.

Therefore, for Lin Weiyin to participate in the Hamamatsu International Competition, it was like a wolf joining the sheep, putting great pressure on all the players.

However, the Hamamatsu Piano Competition does not only examine Chopin's works, and because of Lin Weiyin's reasons, this year's Hamamatsu Piano Competition completely excludes Chopin's works.

Just because no one can beat Lin Weiyin in Chopin's collection.

But even after leaving the Chopin collection, Lin Weiyin's performance is still at the peak of master level.

That kind of realm is like the sound that silence is better than sound at this time, every note falls just right, it won't make people excited, but it won't make people disgusted either.

The so-called avenue to simplicity is exactly that.

It was not the first time for Liao Yuan to listen to Lin Weiyin's performance, but it was the first time to witness Lin Weiyin's performance in a competition.

She was so earnest, with thick eyelashes drooping slightly, as if she was just admiring her own hands.

For the 88 piano keys, she can play the desired note with the back of her hand, completely turning a blind eye.

Liao Yuan nodded slowly.

"How does it compare to you?"

Next to him, director Qu Liangwei asked with a smile while holding the recording microphone in his hand.

"No comparison." Liao Yuan made a pun.

Qu Liangwei didn't ask any more questions. These three words seemed to have no subject and object, so the audience could not clearly understand the true meaning of Liao Yuan. But from an objective point of view, Liao Yuan seemed to think that he was inferior to Lin Weiyin.

One has won almost all piano awards at home and abroad, and the other has only won one award, and it is about pop music, so there is really no comparison between the two.

However, the self-confidence in Liao Yuan's words made Qu Liangwei elusive.
