The beating melody lingers around me.
However, with his eyes closed, Edward felt very calm all over.
Every time I strike the piano keys, it seems as if I am no longer using consciousness, but relying entirely on physical instinct.
He could feel his hands striking the keys, and the trembling feedback from the keys. This feedback seemed to penetrate into his skin and into the depths of his soul, as if it had become one with him.
This is a rare experience.
This is a breakthrough!
And that's exactly what Kennedy did.
as if……
The melody and movement no longer make sense.
It seemed as if the only people left in the world were him, Edward, and the two lonely pianos.
That’s right…
And there was Lu Yuan standing in the dark, holding a baton and listening carefully to their music, who was about to decide whether they could break through their fate this time...
If you can't surpass anyone in terms of skills, techniques, and music, then you can only surpass the opponent by making a breakthrough in realm, right?
Both of them want to break through and reach the peak!
So, any affirmation and progress is invaluable!
Who will acknowledge them?
Lu Yuan!
In this world, only Lu Yuan is worthy of them, and Lu Yuan is qualified to recognize them!
If we were to ask who are the piano masters recognized by the world's nine great pianists...
Then, Lu Yuan must be one of them!
The piano music became faster and faster.
Kennedy and Edward, as if they were completely synchronized mentally, began to communicate in the same voice.
Then……
Sweat appeared on their foreheads at the same time.
However, the sweat did not make them feel tired. Instead, they felt extremely excited, as if they had reached a peak.
They are evenly matched in all aspects.
But……
Everyone thinks he is the final winner.
So, who is the winner?
…
Judges?
What a joke!
Lu Yuan didn't understand what pianists meant by realm.
He could only stand in the dark and watch carefully on the Spring Festival Gala stage, where two people with their eyes closed were performing the amazing song "Flight of the Bumblebee" with the same speed, the same frequency, and even every movement was exactly the same.
The sound enveloped the entire stage.
Everyone in the audience, including everyone in front of the screen, felt the buzzing sound of wild bees flapping their wings around them...
The frequency of playing is extremely terrifying!
Ordinary piano lovers simply cannot hear the difference between the two identical songs. They can only feel the extremely flying melody and the pianist who seems like an afterimage...
However, in the mind of Liu Jianbin, president of the China Piano Association, countless auditory feasts appeared, which he himself could not describe.
His scalp was tingling and his body was covered with goose bumps.
This was a performance that reached its pinnacle. It could even be said to be the first competition between pianists since the concert in Vienna that shocked the world.
Who wins in the end!
Who loses?
…
Jester stared blankly at the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Unable to suppress it, his heart was filled with envy and a hint of yearning.
Lu Yuan also called him and invited him to join the Spring Festival Gala. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely participate.
but……
Unfortunately, an accident happened and he caught a bad cold, which never got better.
When Lu Yuan called him, he happened to have a fever. In addition, the family business had recently reached a new peak, so he had to help with a lot of things...
So I had no choice but to give up.
He had no idea what giving up this time meant. He only knew that at this moment he began to regret it.
Not only him, but even several other pianists couldn't help but feel regretful after watching the Spring Festival Gala...
…
In the darkness, the lights where Lu Yuan was standing gradually lit up.
The performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" gradually came to an end, and Edward and Kennedy's foreheads were covered with sweat.
When the last melody fell, the entire stage was filled with applause.
They opened their eyes, looked at each other at the same time, and then looked at Lu Yuan.
They were not affected at all by the applause from the audience, and it seemed as if neither of them could hear any applause.
There was a hint of desire in their eyes!
They did not stand up and leave the piano because the performance was over.
The light on the other side of the darkness became brighter and brighter, illuminating Lu Yuan's hand wearing a white glove and Lu Yuan's face.
The applause gradually died down.
The entire stage, and even the entire world, seemed to have fallen into a brief calm.
This calmness even seems a little depressing.
All the audience looked at Lu Yuan curiously, not quite understanding what he was going to do. The program list for the Spring Festival Gala only mentioned Flight of the Bumblebee...
etc!
The Spring Festival Gala program said that the program was eight minutes long, but it was obvious that this version of "Flight of the Bumblebee" was less than two minutes long.
So, what are the remaining six minutes?
It seems that Edward and Kennedy have no intention of leaving the stage, so what is Lu Yuan going to do?
What piano piece is next?
Could it be...
Lu Yuan personally came out to play the piano?
…
The light gradually became gentle and milky white.
When the light illuminated Lu Yuan's entire body, everyone realized that Lu Yuan was wearing a black tuxedo.
Reveals a hint of mystery.
Then……
Under the spotlight.
He suddenly closed his eyes.
The arm was raised slightly and slowly, and after it passed the forehead, it slowly stopped...
Don't move!
Then……
Suddenly!
As if hearing a strange sound of breaking through the air, Lu Yuan's baton swung down instantly...
seem……
It was as if he was in control of something most sacred, as if he had become the most terrifying and authoritative conductor on the stage.
In an instant!
Edward's pupils shrank instantly as he looked at Lu Yuan. His hands appeared on the piano keys again, and then another melody that seemed strange but familiar sounded.
This is the melody of Edward's famous work "Autumn Thoughts"!
wrong!
This is not "Autumn Thoughts". Only the prelude is somewhat similar, but the rest is completely unfamiliar!
All piano lovers and pianists in the world were stunned.
What's this?
Edward was halfway through playing...
Lu Yuan's baton suddenly trembled again, and finally swung towards Kennedy on the other side!
Almost at the same time, Edward's piano stopped, and Kennedy's piano seemed to connect seamlessly...
Liu Jianbin was shocked!
His jaw almost dropped to the ground as he stared at the two lights in the darkness as if he had seen a ghost!
Yes!
At this moment, the lights have turned into two places!
One was Lu Yuan, who was motionless with his eyes closed...
And in the other place, there are Edward and Kennedy!
Lu Yuan suddenly waved his baton again and pointed at Edward!
Edward, who was sweating profusely, narrowed his eyes and seamlessly took over Kennedy's piano sound again...
Melody, rhythm, and even timbre...
There was absolutely no sense of disobedience, and Liu Jianbin could not hear anything wrong at all. However, he could swear on his life, or even on his honor, that he had never heard of this piano piece!
This is……
Original?
or……
Is this improvisational, original?
What's even more exciting is that Liu Jianbin and the entire piano community are going crazy...
Although Lu Yuan's body was standing motionless and his eyes were still closed!
but……
Lu Yuan waved his baton without any pattern at all!
Maybe it's ten seconds, maybe it's five seconds, maybe it's ten seconds...
Anyway…
Waving without warning between Edward and Kennedy!
Every time a note is struck, the person must continue to play a melody that has never been heard before, and must maintain the quality that the music itself should have!
Piano music!
They have played me to a point of madness!
This was an unimaginably crazy moment, so crazy that Liu Jianbin had difficulty breathing, and Vice President Chen Qingsong was so scared that he almost fainted.
…
"I thought the Spring Festival Gala would be history after it ended, but I didn't expect it to be history now!"
"Oh my god, I'm witnessing history!"
"Oh my god, what on earth is Lu Yuan trying to do? Is he crazy?"
"This is a completely improvisational performance, with the melody following the improvisation. Is this still a human being?"
"This requires you to be serious about the melody and the music!"
"Is this something a human can really do? Tell me, this is a show effect, right? This must have been rehearsed before, right? It must have been rehearsed, for sure!"
“…”
“…”
On the edge of the stage.
After everyone found a well-rehearsed excuse, they felt a little better and less shocked.
Because, that makes sense, doesn't it?
but……
Li Mingrui's words drove everyone crazy again.
"We have rehearsed it... but what we rehearsed before was playing the Immortal Movement together, but now..."
“But this piano piece is completely unfamiliar!”
"I don't know if it was Director Lu's intention or why... Anyway, they are completely not following the script!"
"Aren't they afraid of making a major mistake?"
“…”
Li Mingrui's eyes were filled with indescribable complexity.
It's an indescribable tremor!
He found that he was really old.
He is so pitiful, he can't bear the blow!
He felt that he would never work with this madman Lu Yuan on any show again!
He was afraid that he, who was in good health now, would suddenly have a heart attack one day, and then be scared to death by that damn Lu Yuan!
But the others gasped after hearing what Li Mingrui said.
as if……
Live in a dream!
…
There is no regular command.
Huge pressure!
There is absolutely no basis for this...
However, Edward and Kennedy were extremely happy!
The two of them seemed to feel a state of mind at the same time, a state that Brando once felt!
Just one step away!
You can break through!
At this moment...
At the same time, they both saw Lu Yuan's baton tremble and then draw a circle!
What does this mean?
The pupils of both of them were extremely dilated!
Confused...
Then, when they saw Lu Yuan wave his baton again, they instantly felt that they understood!
It’s time to wrap up!
The two looked at each other...
Then...
Take a deep breath...
When playing the ending melody again.
The two of them trembled their fingers!
It’s like entering a new realm!
They felt as if they had made a breakthrough!
Then……
They played the exact same ending melody at the same time. It seemed that this piano piece should end like this!
breakthrough!
history!
Birth!
