Chapter 277 Rejection
Full score!

Pei Hongyu received unanimous praise from all the judges with her ability to crush the audience, which shocked all the contestants and audience.

Under the stage, Japanese violinist Miyamoto Chaoyang showed a look of horror.

"Liao Sang? She is Liao Sang's disciple!"

Miyamoto Chaoyang opened his mouth slightly: "Maybe it's a mistake. Liao Sang is a pianist. Even if his disciples come to compete, they should be in the piano group."

Since Liao Yuan easily won Tokugawa Seimei in the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, the entire Japanese music circle was in an uproar.

But after watching the reality video, people found sadly that Liao Yuan's accomplishments in the piano were already superb, a pinnacle that ordinary people could hardly reach.

Although Japanese netizens keep calling for excellent domestic pianists to come and challenge, so far, no one dares to say with certainty that they can definitely defeat Liao Yuan.

The scenes of Liao Yuan playing "La San" and "Bell" are like the mark of the devil, engraved in the minds of all pianists who have watched the video.

This turmoil not only affected the entire circle of pianists, but even the entire Japanese music circle, causing a great sensation.

Such as Miyamoto Chaoyang.

As a rising star in the Japanese violin world, Miyamoto Chaoyang is also very familiar with the name Liao Yuan, knowing that this is a great pianist born in China.

She also knew from her friend Seimei Tokugawa that Liao Yuan was one of the judges in the piano group of the Tchaikovsky Competition, but she never expected that there would be a student of Liao Yuan in the violin group?
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
When Miyamoto Chaoyang was standing on the stage, the violin music that Pei Hongyu had just played was still echoing in her mind. The faint sadness still affected the dopamine secreted in her brain. There was great awe.

Could it be that Liao Sang is not only a great pianist, but also a master in violin attainments?
……

The day passed quickly.

The first day of the Tchaikovsky Competition has come to an end, and the situation seems to be more tragic than imagined. The members of the piano, violin, and vocal groups have all been eliminated by one-third of the number, and many of them have pre-match media notices champion seed.

But the topic of the first day of the game was very rich.

First of all, Liao Yuan, the judge of the piano group, gave high scores to the contestants one after another. Fortunately, his high scores were very average, which can be called even rain and dew, and there was no phenomenon of favoritism. Almost every contestant gave an 8 for his performance. More than [-] points of praise.

Compared with other judges, Liao Yuan's score was too high, which made him stand out in the jury instantly, as if he stood out from the crowd, and became one of the topics of the public.

Many people questioned Liao Yuan's professional ability. After all, looking at Liao Yuan's past resume, except for the One Emperor and Four Emperor Piano Competition, it seems that there is no too exciting resume. The medals and certificates of major competitions seem to be a bit misleading.

Of course, this is just the opinion of outsiders.

In the entire Asian piano circle, no one knows how terrifying Liao Yuan's piano skills are.

In the golden hall, a piece of "wild fire" suppressed the Quartet, leaving the pianists from all Southeast Asian countries speechless.

In the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, it was enough to play "The Bell" at double speed, but even "La San" was played!

How many people in the entire piano world can play "La San" perfectly?

Countless!

This alone is enough to make most pianists shut their mouths firmly.

But there are always some people who think that Liao Yuan has a false name, such as Philip, the dean of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. However, Liao Yuan is now a judge invited by the Chai Academy. Liao Yuan questioned his piano skills, and he replied: "I believe that Mr. Liao will prove how correct his judgment is in the future."

From this point of view, although Philip hated people like Liao Yuan who were trying to gain fame, as the dean, he also knew how to take care of the overall situation and would not show his dissatisfaction at the beginning of the competition.

However, everyone's patience is extremely limited. If Liao Yuan still can't show his professional qualities as a judge in the future, he is very likely to be besieged emotionally by everyone.

In addition, the grievances between Tokugawa Seimei and Liao Yuan were also picked up by the media this time.

When people read the news that Liao Yuan defeated Seimei Tokugawa in a piano competition in Japan, they couldn't help being surprised.

Afterwards, many people hastily picked out the score Liao Yuanda gave Tokugawa Seimei in this Tchaelfsky competition, 8.2 points, which is almost the same as other players' scores.

From this point of view, Liao Yuan is indeed qualified to sit on the judging table.

In addition, in the violin group, "Schindler's List" played by Pei Hongyu also caused a great sensation.

Because it is a global live broadcast, there are exclusive live broadcast channels on TV stations and the Internet in various countries, so the message is delivered in a timely manner. After listening to "Schindler's List", many people quickly looked up Pei Hongyu's information, and about What the name "Schindler" stands for.

Soon, Pei Hongyu's information was checked out.

Graduated from Huaxia Central Conservatory of Music, majoring in folk music and minoring in orchestral music.

So far, he has won a number of No.1 violin competitions organized by Chinese folk or official violin competitions.

In 2021, he joined the Little Yellow Fish Brokerage Company and studied music with Liao Yuan. During this period, Pei Hongyu went out of the country and won many violin competition awards in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other places, and became famous in the violin circle.

In June 2022, follow Liao Yuan to Russia to participate in the Tchaikovsky Competition.

In addition to Pei Hongyu's information, Schindler's information has gradually attracted international attention.

Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, used the war in Germany to lure Germans to invest, and then hired cheap Jews to work. He made a lot of money in this era full of killing and gunpowder, and at the same time dispersed all his belongings. It protected the lives of about 1000 or two hundred Jews, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of surviving Jews in Poland.

In 1958, the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem declared Schindler righteous and invited him to plant trees on the Avenue of the Righteous.

On October 1974, 10, Schindler passed away. He was buried in a Catholic way on his hometown Zvitazir. Every year, many surviving Jews and their descendants come to pay homage to him.

As for "Schindler's List", it has a lot of provenance.

From the 40s to the 60s, Schindler sent hundreds of letters from Munich, Buenos Aires, Frankfurt, New York, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, etc., containing piles of newspaper clippings, photos, and insurance documents , mortgage certificates, sketches of the location of Schindler's factory, etc., the most precious of which is the so-called "Schindler's List".

Schindler was an entrepreneur with a sense of justice and a member of the Communist Party. It was because of this special status that he was deeply moved when he saw the massacre of Jews by the Communist Party. In the name of the hired worker, a list of 1200 people was issued and handed over to the SS, for which he paid all his property.

He rescued the Jews from concentration camps and into one of his factories in southern Poland, thus saving them from death.

Schindler made two lists during his lifetime.The second list was written one month before the end of World War II. This list is still kept in Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum in Israel.

"There really is Schindler's List!"

People all over the world who followed this competition, after learning about Schindler's information, were deeply shocked by Pei Hongyu's "Schindler's List".

Combined with historical events, people can't help but feel scalp numb when they listen to this piece again.

This night, on social networking sites around the world, countless people initiated the topic of "Schindler's List", pouring out the sadness brought about by this piece of music.

"That may be the tune played when the corpses of countless Jews were incinerated and turned into countless shards drifting away in the wind."

"Those 'snowflakes' dart down, onto the roofs of luxury cars, into the palms of playful children, into the world of the martyrs and survivors."

"May there be no war in the world, no massacre between races, and may each of us love peace."

"The kindness of human nature shines brightly at that moment, and the melody of the violin seems to be telling that memory calmly, poignant and moving."

"If you don't know Schindler's list, if you don't know Schindler's deeds, you don't know the more than 600 million Jews who were massacred, and you won't feel the powerlessness and despair in the melody, but even In this way, when you hear this song, you will still feel extremely uncomfortable."

"Schindler's List is not just a relic, it is a symbol and a part of the spiritual heritage of mankind."

"Thanks to Pei Hongyu for playing, and to Liao Yuan for composing the music. I hope that the big Hollywood directors can find time to film Schindler's story."

"Schindler's list, represents life and hope, within the list is life and survival, outside the list, represents massacre and death."

That night, the story about Schindler was quickly spread. This piece of dust that was originally buried in history was known to the world because of Pei Hongyu's playing, and it was seen again.

……

The next morning, in front of the Tchaelwsky Academy of Music, media reporters from all over the world were once again surrounded.

But this time, the performance of the reporters was very different from yesterday.

Half of the original photographers and media reporters from the piano group went to the violin group.

Even the audience who originally belonged to the piano group got tickets for the small piano group through various relationships.

The chamber music hall where the violin group is located is the smallest of the three major concert halls, and can only accommodate more than 200 people. Many Jewish people were deeply moved and initiated donations on the Internet, willing to co-fund Pei Hong's world tour concert performance.

This caused the violin group, which originally had the least audience, to be overcrowded in an instant. The number of media reporters and photographers in the entire concert hall was almost ten times that of yesterday.

Before the start of the match, Pei Hongyu's waiting room had already been besieged by the media once, and her popularity was so high that she was the most popular among all the players.

Miyamoto Chaoyang witnessed this scene, envious and jealous.

She had checked the information last night and found that Pei Hongyu was really an artist under Liao Sang's company, which surprised her. She had an in-depth discussion with Tokugawa Seimei on this matter, and the latter was also puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

Liao Yuan's piano skills are already terrifying, how can he teach such a powerful violinist?

This made Tokugawa Seimei horrified.

Also horrified was Philip, the dean of the Chai Academy.

When he got up this morning, he was told about it by several instructors of the college. He was a little skeptical about the truth of the news, so with the help of his assistant, he personally read the comments on the Internet—almost all of them were reporting "Xin Delle" event.

Tracing back to the source, he found the video of yesterday's violin group, and personally watched Pei Hongyu's performance at that time, as well as the sad piano sound that came from his ears.

Philip was silent.

Although he is more than 70 years old, he was born in the 50s of the last century. In fact, he did not have the opportunity to come into contact with World War II. Legends clearly record the tragedy of that era.

It can be said that Philip is very close to the generation during World War II.

The people of that era are already old now, and there are really not many people left in the world...

After watching the video, Philip asked with a hoarse voice, "Is this the music composed by Mr. Liao?"

"According to Ms. Pei, yes, it is Mr. Liao's work." The assistant replied respectfully.

"Is Peter coming to work?"

"He's already waiting in the lobby."

Hearing this, Philip didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he washed up a bit and walked towards the hall.

At this time, the entire concert hall was full of people. Although the competition had not started ahead of schedule, many spectators had already taken their seats in advance, exchanging excitedly with each other about the "Schindler's List" event initiated on the Internet.

After Philip walked into the music hall, all the students and instructors of the college stood up and said hello to Philip.

At this time, Liao Yuan was communicating with Peter with a smile, and saw Philip walking towards him quickly: "Mr. Liao, can I take a step to talk?"

Liao Yuan was a little surprised, and looked at Peter.

"Yes, Mr. Dean."

In the back garden of Chaiyuan, Philip took the walking stick from his assistant and asked Liao Yuan while walking, "Is "Schindler's List" your work?"

"That's right." Liao Yuan smiled.

He heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What he cared about was Pei Hongyu. This little guy seemed to be very sensitive to music. She had memorized the tune he played two or three times unintentionally. mind.

Tsk, genius!

"Mr. Liao."

Philip paused, and asked again: "Why did you give high scores to all the players yesterday? This is actually something I have never understood."

"Maybe my brain circuit is different from other judges."

Liao Yuan smiled: "On the road of growth, there should be more than just spurs. Encouragement may make them go further."

Philip looked at Liao Yuan's indifferent smile, and the estrangement in his heart disappeared little by little, replaced by great appreciation, "I finally understand why Peter admires you so much, Mr. Liao, I hope that in the next game, you can be active Use your tremendous role as a judge."

After speaking, he continued to walk happily leaning on his crutches. After a while, he suddenly turned around, "Oh, there is one more thing."

"Tell me." Liao Yuan said.

"I wonder if you are interested in serving as a music teacher in our school."

Philip smiled and said, "During your tenure as a teacher, you can obtain a doctoral degree from our school..."

Chaiyuan is one of the top ten music colleges in the world, and one of the few music academies in the world that award doctoral degrees. Those who can teach here are all musical geniuses, and those who can get a doctoral degree from Chaiyuan are even in the international music circle. Enjoying a pivotal position, even if Liao Yuan does not have a competition medal, just having the title of Dr. Chai Yuan is enough to impress the world music scene.

Liao Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the string of Russian words on the building of Chaiyuan—creating the world with musical notes.

Then shook his head slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dean, I may not have this honor, thank you for your invitation."
