Chapter 199 Surprise the audience
.
The warm applause lasted for more than a minute before it gradually subsided.
The seven judges who had never applauded a contestant at the same time in the competition were now, along with the audience in the audience, using applause to express their praise in their hearts.
Looking at Lu Wei who was smiling and thanking the audience on the stage, Xiao Nan's eyes showed a hint of brilliant color. He has been learning music in Paris since childhood in the artistic landscape, and has always grown up with the title of "genius". Even in the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, where experts gather, Xiao Nan is also a beautiful person in the eyes of his classmates and a proud disciple in the eyes of the professor. This time he participated in the "Star Sea Cup", Xiao Nan was completely playing with the attitude. For him, who had already won the competition championship in the department at school, this "Star Sea Cup"
In his eyes, the professional group competition was just like a child playing house. After watching the competition of the first three people, Xiao Nan even thought that such a competition was meaningless to him. However, he had always been serious about the piano and played the entries seriously. Seeing the enthusiastic reactions of the audience and the judges, Xiao Nan showed an unexpected expression, and at the same time felt that the champion of this class should be his own, although he did not value the weight of such a champion very much.
However, Lu Wei's performance completely changed Xiao Nan's previous view. Xiao Nan was not a blind and arrogant person. As soon as Lu Wei played, Xiao Nan put away his contempt. When Lu Wei played the complete song, Xiao Nan felt extremely shocked. He did not expect that there would be such outstanding contestants in China. Xiao Nan had never seen any piano student as big as Lu Wei who could interpret Liszt's works to such a level. In his impression, perhaps only his own piano instructor could play such an effect. But Xiao Nan ignored a detail, that is, Lu Wei used the piano instructor to play, but his own piano instructor to use it.
"Uncle Yue, that brother plays very well." On one side of the stage, the cute Jiang Hanxue said to a calm middle-aged man beside him.
"Haha, Xiaoxue plays well too." The middle-aged man replied with a kind smile, with a sharp look, but his sharp eyes firmly covered Lu Wei in the center of the stage, as if he wanted to see through every inch of Lu Wei's body.
"Good boy, at a young age, he actually has such an extraordinary state of mind. I wonder which mental method you are practicing?" A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth by Jiang Hanxue, and a hint of curiosity rose in his heart.
Uncle Yue's body was just sitting on the chair beside Jiang Hanxue so casually, but it gave people the illusion that he had been there all the time. It seemed that he had been in harmony with this chair, this room, and everyone here, so naturally, it made people not feel his existence.
If Lu Wei pays attention to this middle-aged man, he will feel this familiar state. It is exactly the scene when he was practicing the Eternal Life Sect. However, this "Uncle Yue" just sat casually and did not see how to use his skills. But he naturally entered this state, and his cultivation level was obviously more than that of Lu Wei.
He did not notice the special existence of Uncle Yue. Lu Wei paused for a while in front of the piano and prepared to play the third movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight".
Xiaoling leaned forward, showing a hint of excitement, and said to Yu Wenqi and the others on the side: "I love listening to "Moonlight" the most. They all sound very nicely, don't talk."
Lu Wei's parents looked at the girl. Although Lu Wei did not introduce her, from the day of contact today, both of them could see that the girl named Xiaoling had a different relationship with her son.
Although he did not agree with Lu Wei falling in love at school, Lu Wei's parents were not stubborn people. Looking at this lively and cute girl, he even liked her a little bit.
Looking at Xiaoling's kissing tone when he was talking, Liu Jie felt uncomfortable for no reason. Thinking of this girl who didn't know anything about music, Liu Jie felt extremely dissatisfied with the wonderful sound of Lu Wei's piano alone. But at the same time, Xiaoling, who didn't understand music, was full of expectations for Lu Wei's next performance. Liu Jie's interest was picked up again, and her pair of wonderful eyes stared at Lu Wei in the center of the stage, quietly waiting for his performance again.
Several judges also looked at Lu Wei in front of the piano with a focused look on their faces, looking forward to his wonderful performance again.
Before the music started, Lu Wei's temperament had changed a little. The expression on his face that had been smiling peacefully disappeared, but instead he changed into a serious expression, and his eyes changed from soft to firmness.
Looking at Lu Wei's expression, Wei Xiaofan on the corner showed a smile on his face.
"This kid is really a natural performer. He has entered the best performance state so quickly. The judges are blessed with their ears today. You will hear the purest Beethoven's voice. Get ready for your applause." Wei Xiaofan said intimately.
The Sonata of "Moonlight" is not the most difficult song among Beethoven's piano sonatas, but it is the most widely known song.
Beethoven's Piano Sonata "Moonlight" was written in 1801. At that time, Beethoven's ear disease began to become more and more serious. His heart was filled with a kind of hesitation and depression. At the same time, a subtle relationship with his piano student Julietta also developed. Although the two could not be together due to their identities, this injected some pleasure into Beethoven's depressed heart. This song "Moonlight" is a true portrayal of Beethoven's mentality during this period.
Unlike the first movement of the slow strait like a wave and the second movement of the smile left in an instant, the third movement is full of unstoppable enthusiasm and struggle, and extremely fierce conflicts.
The third movement rang, excited rushing board, C minor, 4/4 beat, the sonata style accompanied by the bass octave chords that were disturbing like thunder in the left hand. Lu Wei's right hand pressed against the piano keys and quickly rushed towards the high pitch area, with unstoppable boiling enthusiasm and incitemental melody, and then the uncoordinated chords sounded, like fierce fury, trembling people's hearts.
The second phrase rang in a more dissonant way, as if the anger had further expanded, and the piano roared like a struggle.
The second theme that followed seemed to calm down a little emotionally, but it seemed to have tightly grasped everyone's hearts with complaints and questions from the bottom of my heart.
The movements of Lu Wei's hands on the piano keys changed the softness and delicateness of the previous song. Each movement was so straightforward. Even the weak chords were like uneasy moans under the giant hands of fate, which led to people's emotions becoming nervous and excited.
As the second theme approaches, a continuous eighth note appears. Although it is not very strong, it has a decisive rhythm and expresses the firm belief in the heart.
Lu Wei's arms trembled slightly, and his hands were decisive and simply undulating on the piano keys, conveying the firm and unyielding emotions in his heart. The expression on his face was focused and fanatical, and the eyes were filled with unyielding persistence and aura of never bowing their heads. His lips were pursed down coldly, and the lines on his face were cold and hard, like an unshakable giant.
Music, like a pair of giant hands, firmly grasped the hearts of all the listeners present. The cruel sound of fate brought a hint of heavy weight on everyone's face. The chords that roared like struggle were like waves of hammers, hitting everyone's heart hard, as if they were trying to break free from the shackles. However, the rapid and uneasy melody was like a fine net, making people unable to break free.
Many listeners clenched their fists unconsciously, and excited emotions surged in their hearts. With every powerful chord, many people nodded their heads in vain, as if it was the horn of the battle.
Zhou Guangren and Ling Yuan, two authoritative judges, were once again shocked by the music that hit the hearts. In that vision, there was nothing else except pure appreciation, as if they were enjoying an audio-visual feast. Looking at the other judges, the expressions on their faces were the same, and there were a few, and from beginning to end, they used nodding and small hand movements to express their excitement and dedication.
Lu Wei was furious in playing in front of the piano. The piano seemed to have become a part of his body. Every chord, either strong or weak, was reflected according to his will. Lu Wei's body language was also accompanied by the emotions of the music, showing a decisive and forward momentum. With a series of downward melodies like an irresistible vent, the music came to an end. Then, three heavy bass chords ended the entire piece. But although the music stopped and the joy was not finished, the belief in fighting had been deeply left in the hearts of every listener.
The moment Lu Wei stood up, the audience was silent for a few seconds, and there was a nearly crazy applause. This shocking piece of music completely conquered all the audience present.
