Chapter 280 Knowledge is priceless
Wu Di's hands were like a tornado, whistling over the black and white keys. The first movement of "Piano Concerto No. [-] in B Flat Minor" that appeared last night is now in everyone's ears.

People held their breath.

Tokugawa Seimei showed a contemptuous smile: "I don't know what to do!"

Tchaikovsky only wrote three piano pieces in his life, the most famous of which is "Piano Concerto No. 200 in B-flat Minor". This work represents the pinnacle of Tchaikovsky's piano concerto. There are only a handful of people who play it, and even his performance cannot get full marks from the judges.

Do you really think everyone is Liao Yuan?
Is it that a Chinese person wants to step on Lao Tzu?
hateful!

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Seimei's resentful eyes quickly passed over Liao Yuan's face. It was this atmosphere brought by Liao Yuan that made me a shame in the Asian piano world!

But before he had time to curse Liao Yuan, he heard exclamations from around him.

He raised his head in doubt, and saw Wu Di's hands flying in the air, opening and closing, like dough, moving back and forth on the 88 piano keys, accompanied by the clever piano sound, as if someone was blowing wind in his ears, which made people feel itchy , concentrate on listening to the content in the wind.

It's really the Piano Concerto No. [-]!

And the rhythm is so beautiful!

The emotional sculpture is almost at the master level!
Tokugawa Seimei looked shocked: "What's going on? His playing style shouldn't be like this, why did it suddenly change? Baga!"

The audience was full of exclamations, and people listened intently. Even the judges in the judges' bench sat up straight at this moment, watching Wu Di's performance attentively.

"There is a touch of everyone's style."

Philip stared at it for a long time, and said with some doubts: "It's strange, how could there be such a big change in his playing style?"

He remembered something and turned to look at Liao Yuan.

Others also looked at Liao Yuan.

Yesterday evening, Wu Di went to Liao Yuan to settle in the hotel alone. After the media network exposed it, almost everyone knew about it.

Some people with ulterior motives speculated that Wu Di was offering bribes, but at this moment, it seems that this is nothing like bribery, it is clearly to impart a hundred years of internal strength...

"Not crazy, not live."

Liao Yuan said with a smile: "A child of this age has the best energy and reaction speed. As long as he can overcome his inner obstacles, he can try any song."

Peter next to him suddenly realized.

At this time, Wu Di's brand-new performance style attracted the attention of countless people at the scene and even outside.

From the original ordinary to today's open and closed, this unique way of playing has completely inspired Wu Di's inner wildness. Under his performance, "Piano Concerto No. Or the completion of the whole song is infinitely close to [-]%.

At this moment, Tokugawa Seimei's heart fell into the ice cave, feeling cool.

Until the end of the song, when the audience was silent again, it seemed that there was a mouthful of phlegm in his throat, and he was still unable to open his mouth to say anything.

The cold hands and feet represent his heart at the moment.

Finally, there was thunderous applause.

Everyone stood up and paid tribute to the suddenly amazed boy.

At the judges' table, Dean Philip finally couldn't help asking: "You have changed so much, child, I can't believe that a person can have such a huge change in just a dozen hours. Why? ?”

"I died last night, and my heart was as still as water when I left."

Wu Di stood up and said slowly: "Dear Sir Philip, the reason why I have changed so much is because of the guidance of my mentor, Mr. Liao Yuan..."

Wu Di was a blockbuster, causing an uproar among the audience, and it even made all the audience watching the live broadcast boil in an instant.

"I know I will be reborn from Nirvana."

Wu Di whispered: "I hope you will like my first performance, and I hope that my changes will make Mr. Liao feel gratified."

Everyone looked at Liao Yuan in unison, their eyes full of complexity.

Liao Yuan said helplessly: "It's not about giving advice, nor about being your mentor, it's just an ordinary exchange."

"No, your few words are like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, breaking the shackles in my heart."

Wu Di said gratefully: "If it weren't for you, I would not be able to strengthen my inner belief. Your kindness to me is like recreating life, and you are naturally my mentor."

After hearing this conversation, everyone was full of admiration, and the applause sounded like thunder again.

The judges also silently marked the score.

"Okay, next game," Philip said.

After speaking, he looked at Liao Yuan intentionally or unconsciously, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

Soon, the remaining two contestants appeared on the stage one after another, but after experiencing Wu Di's astonishment, even though these two contestants tried their best, they performed "Piano Trio in A Minor" and "Piano Concerto No. [-] in G Major" respectively. There is still no sign of surpassing Wu Di in these two famous songs.

So far, the piano group of the Tchaikovsky Competition has officially completed its performance.

After nearly half an hour of discussion, Philip, the dean of Chai Academy, came to the stage in person and announced the ranking order of today's competition.

At this moment, the reporters in the audience were frantically taking pictures, and the cameras were also rapidly recording this historic scene.

"No.17 Moscow Tchaikovsky Competition Piano Group, No.5 Winner: Kenneth Esther..."

"No.4 Winner: Louis Kelly..."

"No.3 Winner: Nicole Evelina..."

Every time a name is announced, there is a burst of cheers at the scene. For the contestants, although there are regrets, being able to advance to Tchaikovkosky, one of the highest music competitions in the world, and get the ranking is already the biggest gain of this trip , so both Nicole and the other two players are satisfied and delighted with this ranking.

But for music lovers around the world who are paying attention to this moment, the most exciting picture is yet to come.

"No.1 is Wu Di."

Peter said without thinking, "This kind of dramatic explosion can give people a huge shocking effect. Whether it is the judges or the audience, what I expect from the bottom of my heart is that Wu Di can get No.1."

Liao Yuan smiled: "Maybe."

Peter glanced at Liao Yuan: "You don't even have confidence in your apprentice?"

"He is not my apprentice." Liao Yuan said seriously.

Peter chuckled, everything was silent.

At this time, amidst the excitement, Philip began to announce the final ranking:
"No.2 Winner: Seimei Tokugawa..."

When Seimei Tokugawa's name appeared, the audience suddenly burst into loud applause. Everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

However, those applause, to Tokugawa Seimei, seemed like slaps one after another, the slaps made him gasp, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

"No.17 in the Piano Group of the 1th Moscow Tchaikovsky Competition, the winner is: Wu Di, congratulations to Wu Di."

……

Just when the piano group announced the awards for the top five contestants, the violin group also announced the final ranking after the fierce competition.

Pei Hongyu, who possessed the highest popularity, lived up to the expectations of the public. With a piece of Tchaikovsky's "Symphony of Sorrow", she overwhelmed the crowd and completely drew a successful conclusion to this competition.

However, the Japanese player Asahi Miyamoto, who was originally regarded as the champion seed, performed abnormally on the spot and ended up No. 4, which made countless audiences sigh.

When accepting the award and giving their acceptance speeches, Pei Hongyu and Wu Di seemed to have a tacit understanding. Facing the cameras of TV stations and live broadcast websites around the world, they said a very similar sentence: "I have been reborn today, thank you Master Liao Yuan's hand of God."

This sentence deeply impressed the audience watching the live broadcast all over the world. Many ignorant violinists and pianists hurriedly looked up all the resume information about judging Liao Yuan.

This made the name Liao Yuan become the number one hot word in foreign Google search engines in a short period of time.

Many violinists and piano lovers all over the world are discussing it on Twitter and Facebook.

One of the ultimate questions: "If I take Liao Yuan as my teacher, after four years, can I get the No.1 in the piano group or violin group of the Tchaikovsky Competition?"

This question was retweeted more than [-] times overnight on Twitter.

Numerous experts and people in the industry responded enthusiastically, and even the official Twitter of Chai Academy joined the discussion camp.

But the answer is never revealed.

But this phenomenon is rapidly fermenting.

When Liao Yuan returned to China, Little Yellow Fish Company suddenly received mailboxes and letters from all over the world, and the parking lot of the company building was almost full of high-end cars, causing many employees of other companies in the central building to park their cars in grief and indignation In the parking lot of the building opposite.

In the consultation room of the Little Yellow Fish Brokerage Company, successful people lead their children to linger here. Tian Xingde, Xu Beihong, Yi Zheng and others are very busy, and it is difficult to refuse. After all, the identities of these people are not private enterprises. The boss is an executive of the top [-], or the top or second in command of a political unit.

They came to Little Yellow Fish Company for only one purpose, to make their children worship Liao Yuan as a teacher, to teach their children piano, violin and other musical instruments, and they were willing to pay a huge amount of education fees.

And it is calculated by the hour, the hourly price has exceeded 20 RMB, and there is no market for the price.

After two days of fermentation, this situation finally caused an uproar on Weibo.

While the popularity of discussing Liao Yuan on the Internet gradually decreased, there was an even bigger wave of discussions on domestic microblogs. Most people thought that the price of 20 RMB per hour was simply more expensive than ten lectures taught by a professor in Beijing University, which was unacceptable. .

But a small number of people are still very persistent, thinking that Liao Yuan's lecture is definitely worth 20 yuan or even more.

After all, judging from the news from the Tchaikovsky Competition, Wu Di, the No. Successfully won the championship trophy, which is definitely a huge temptation for any learners who are interested in playing the piano.

But after all, this is the opinion of a few people. For the public, 20 an hour of courses is definitely a sky-high price.

This upsurge of discussion continues to ferment, and it keeps appearing in the top three positions on Weibo hot searches and topic lists.

Finally, Liao Yuan's friends couldn't bear it anymore.

Famous director Fu Yuntao first started the bombardment: "As far as I know, there are quite a few personal trainers in the entertainment industry who charge up to 20 yuan per hour. In order to have a meal with a certain entrepreneur, many entrepreneurs need Paying millions, is it really expensive for pianists to spend [-] in order to improve their playing skills?"

Soon, Ai Shi, the queen of Hong Kong pop music, liked the Weibo.

Among the Seven Sons of the Empire, Zhang Henge and Chen Mubai gave likes.

All members of Lucky Girl 101 gave likes.

101's official Weibo also liked and forwarded it, and commented: "Knowledge is priceless."

Japanese pianist Shunichi Minamino’s Weibo registered in China also joined the army of forwarding: “If 20 RMB can get me advice from Liao Sang, I will immediately make an appointment for ten hours of lessons.”

Zhan Huo, the champion of the National Street Dance Competition, also reposted: "The price of my class is not as high as that of Mr. Liao. Although dance and music complement each other, in my opinion, Mr. Liao's lessons are indeed priceless."

Pei Hongyu, who just won the violin group championship of the Tchaikovsky Competition, also solemnly posted a Weibo: "My situation is different from that of Wu Di. I am by the teacher's side, and I am often instructed by the teacher. I am constantly influenced by my ears and eyes. From my point of view, our teacher Liao may not teach you some technical questions, because these are the foundation, and the only way is to study hard and practice hard, but Teacher Liao can always help you when you get stuck in technical problems. At the bottleneck, I will give you some pointers, let you clear the clouds and break through the shackles of technology. In my opinion, this is the most precious."

Discussions about Liao Yuan's sky-high price courses were in full swing on Weibo, attracting elites from all walks of life to join the discussion.

But in fact, it can be clearly known in the announcement on the official Weibo of Little Yellow Fish that Liao Yuan does not have a teaching qualification certificate, and it is illegal to charge for teaching, so so far, he has not accepted any student's request.

Although this Weibo disappeared in an instant, many students who wanted to worship Liao Yuan as their teacher continued to ask various questions in the comment area, and even pleaded bitterly, with a wide range of influence.

The fourth day of the event's fermentation.

Finally, in the midst of all the attention, the Donghai Education Bureau issued an announcement on its official Weibo: "Recently, the 'Liao Yuan sky-high course' incident on the Internet has aroused the attention of many netizens. After in-depth understanding, our bureau has received After feedback from some netizens, the basic situation has been grasped, and the results are as follows:
After careful research and discussion, our bureau has decided to issue an educational qualification certificate (with electronic version) to the famous pianist Mr. Liao Yuanliao, which will take effect immediately. "

It wasn't long before the Donghai City Education Bureau announced Liao Yuan's teacher qualification certificate.

The Central Conservatory of Music, Donghai Conservatory of Music, Huaxia Conservatory of Music, Jiangnan Conservatory of Music and many other official colleges announced on their microblogs one after another: "XX Conservatory of Music is willing to hire Mr. Liao Yuan as a professor of the Piano Department of our college with a high salary, and all the benefits are favorable..."

"Effective immediately."
