The audience, including those on the live broadcast channel of the video website, listened quietly as the pianists walked onto the stage and played piano pieces they had never heard before.
Chen Qingsong sat in the audience, watching and listening carefully.
Both Chinese and international pianists put their best efforts in playing their piano music on this stage.
They all listened and watched, but no one discussed or spoke.
The jumping notes lingered and circulated around them, as if they had turned into little elves telling each story.
They are communicating through music.
There is no doubt that this is a great feast for all piano fans, just like the party thirty years ago.
There are several piano pieces in the Chinese textbooks that were created thirty years ago.
After today, how many more famous piano pieces will be published and included in textbooks?
Nobody knows.
But no one doubted anything here.
Perhaps, some history was born!
Zhou Yao looked at Lu Yuan.
Everyone seemed to be immersed in the piano, except Lu Yuan, who seemed to be looking here and there, with a blushing face.
What happened to Brother Lu?
Feng Xu also stared at Lu Yuan, and he found that he couldn't understand what Lu Yuan was doing.
He felt that Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed!
Why does he have that expression?
This doesn't look like an expression of eagerness to try, but rather an expression of knowing nothing!
Yes, he won’t!
Everyone can compose their own piano music on the stage, but Lu Yuan can't compose anything. He must feel very embarrassed now!
Yes!
That's it!
Wang Jinxue and An Xiao, who were not far away, also looked at Lu Yuan. Wang Jinxue felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be in pain, while An Xiao felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something...
Pianists came on stage one by one and came down one by one, and everyone communicated through their own works.
When will Lu Yuan go up?
Not only An Xiao was thinking this way, but everyone present was thinking this way as well.
They didn't want a monster like Lu Yuan to sit there and do nothing the whole time...
After all, they saw Lu Yuan writing something very carefully before...
What to write?
nonsense!
He must be composing music and writing songs!
He couldn't possibly be scribbling and pretending to be serious in front of so many people, right?
Even if they believed that sows could climb trees, they didn't believe that Lu Yuan would do this in such a solemn occasion.
…
The stage is naturally bright and attractive to any pianist.
Lu Yuan felt that each piano piece was beautiful and amazing...
As for how good it sounds and how powerful it is?
Even though Lu Yuan has been strengthening his piano knowledge during this period and always finds time to practice the piano secretly, he still cannot change some of the details about the piano.
There are some great pianists who can write an entire piece of music just by listening to it.
In fact, every pianist sitting in the VIP seat has this ability. They are gifted geniuses since childhood. They have been in contact with the piano since childhood and can hear many subtle things very clearly.
As for Lu Yuan...
He does have a talent for piano and is indeed very strong, but it's a pity that he has only been exposed to piano for too short a period of time.
Therefore, he couldn't understand many of the details of the operation, and he could only pretend to secretly watch Edward, Brando and others out of the corner of his eye.
These people seemed to be thinking about something, nodding from time to time, and continued to write and ponder meticulously as if they had found some inspiration.
This exchange meeting has reached a level that Lu Yuan cannot imagine!
He felt that except for himself, everyone else was immersed in a very mysterious world, and they were all communicating with music...
Lu Yuan felt more and more uncomfortable as he sat there, like a unlucky guy. Especially after these reporters and cameras kept scanning his side from time to time, Lu Yuan felt the pressure was getting even greater!
This kind of occasion is not suitable for me after all!
After all, it's not my world.
So, why am I sitting here?
Lu Yuan fell into reflection.
At this time, the previous embarrassment and anxiety slowly calmed down.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes slightly.
This can't go on like this.
Yes, it’s totally not going to work to keep pretending like this. Maybe, on the stage of this exchange meeting, I can announce something?
The piano pieces I can play now are only half-baked. I can either play the beginning, or the last part, or I can only remember a little bit of the melody...
Obviously, such things are inappropriate on this stage.
Then, he only has the last piano piece "Castle in the Sky" adapted from a guitar piece, and it is the only piece he can play completely...
What happens after you finish playing "Castle in the Sky"? Even if you can handle it for a while, can you handle it forever?
Many things cannot be achieved by pretending. If you don't have the ability, no matter how well you pretend or act, you will be exposed sooner or later.
No one is a fool!
When the last pianist finished playing, there was a round of warm applause, and then the stage suddenly stopped...
The entire stage suddenly became silent.
Everyone, except Brando and Lu Yuan, has been on stage.
Brando also had some understanding. He wanted to walk towards the stage, but after subconsciously looking at Lu Yuan, he stopped.
He felt that now was not the time for him to go on stage. He felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be understanding something.
This is called sudden enlightenment and meditation in Chinese!
Yes, maybe Lu Yuan had a sudden enlightenment and entered a state of meditation!
No one can disturb me now.
Kennedy noticed Lu Yuan.
He was about to say something but was stopped by Edward who was not far away. Edward shook his head seriously.
Kennedy was puzzled for a moment, and then after looking at Lu Yuan, he nodded.
He understands!
He saw Lu Yuan closing his eyes, as if he was in deep thought, his expression sometimes frowning, sometimes suddenly enlightened, and sometimes he took a deep breath.
Not only Brando and Kennedy noticed this, but also the other pianists and the audience below noticed this scene.
They are weird!
They were confused.
Everyone was guessing what song Lu Yuan had come up with, and everyone was waiting for Lu Yuan to open his eyes.
This kind of silence was contagious, and in an instant, even the discussions in the audience stopped.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a strange silence and was a little confused. Where was the piano music? Why was there no piano music?
He opened his eyes and then started.
Everyone was staring at him.
Including the pianist on the stage, the audience below, the camera, and even the lights on the stage seemed to become softer.
What are they doing?
Lu Yuan felt a little confused...
"Come out?"
"ah?"
"We're all waiting for you!"
"Wait for me?"
"Yes, we are all waiting for you!"
"ah?"
"By the time you get on stage, you should have realized something, right?"
Edward looked at Lu Yuan and broke the silence.
Lu Yuan could understand what Edward was saying, and he could also respond to him.
nonsense!
After studying English for such a long time, if he still doesn't know anything, then how useless he is!
"Thank you, I didn't understand anything..." Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a long sigh of relief. He originally felt under a lot of pressure, but after he figured it out, he suddenly found that everything was different.
In fact, he had just been torturing himself, asking himself how long he would have to pretend.
He doesn't want to pretend anymore!
Yes!
What's wrong with him being just an entry-level piano player?
Since you don't like such words, why force yourself?
Be honest, don’t worry about what anyone thinks, and don’t even be bound by this stage. Just be yourself.
"Oh, you didn't?"
"Well, I'm sorry everyone, I have been misleading you for a long time."
Lu Yuan suddenly stood up, bowed to everyone very sincerely and seriously, and then smiled.
Everyone was very surprised and they wondered why Lu Yuan had such a strange smile.
This smile doesn't seem like he has realized something, nor does it seem like anything else. Instead, it feels like a sense of relief?
Lu Yuan straightened his clothes and walked towards the stage silently. When he came next to President Liu Jianbin, Lu Yuan also stopped.
“Excuse me, President Liu, can I make an announcement on stage?”
"Xiao Lu, are you okay? If it really doesn't work, don't force it." Liu Jianbin felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be a little abnormal, and his heart tightened a little, then he looked at Lu Yuan with concern.
"I'm fine. I just feel very relaxed... I'm not forcing myself. I want to apologize to everyone..." Lu Yuan looked at Liu Jianbin seriously, his expression almost pleading.
Liu Jianbin nodded subconsciously.
"Thanks!"
Then, Lu Yuan smiled, and walked step by step to the center of the stage under everyone's gaze, looking at everyone below.
Then……
He bowed again.
"I want to say sorry to everyone. For a long time, you have had many misunderstandings about me. I also know where the root of this misunderstanding lies... Today should be the last time I play the piano on a stage like this. In the future, maybe for a long time, maybe forever... In short, I may not compose or write any piano music again."
"I don't want to say that I've run out of ideas. Running out of ideas is useless. Just now, when I looked at myself, I figured out a lot of things..."
"I don't have any talent. I'm not pretending. I really don't have any talent. Even if I did have it before, it's basically gone now! So, I know that it's impossible for me to create anything in the future!"
"I have several preludes and melodies in my mind. At the same time, I also have one last piano piece. This piano piece is called "Castle in the Sky". It was originally played on guitar, but now it has been adapted into a piano piece. Well, you don't have to look for it online. It's not available online because no one in the world has ever played it. All the melodies are in my mind..."
"Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. I'll say goodbye to everyone with my last complete piano piece and some half-broken piano melodies!"
“…”
Lu Yuan bowed again, then adjusted his clothes and tie, and slowly moved his fingers...
…
Lu Yuan said this entirely in Chinese.
So these international pianists didn’t quite understand at first.
They just felt that Lu Yuan's voice was very frank and serious, and at the same time carried a hint of genuine loneliness.
Yes!
They felt that Lu Yuan must be announcing something very extraordinary.
They watched Lu Yuan walk silently towards the piano without slowly sitting down.
When the translator translated Lu Yuan's words completely to the pianists, the pianists were dumbfounded.
"What!"
"What happened to Lu?"
"Has he been struck by something?"
"Is he going to quit piano? Good God, he's so young, he..."
“…”
Edward and Kennedy's eyes widened.
They couldn't believe what Lu Yuan said, but Edward felt a little better when he suddenly remembered that Lu Yuan seemed to have said something similar before...
But then I thought about it and it didn’t make sense!
The fact that Lu Yuan could announce these words on such an occasion can only mean one thing!
That means he is serious, more serious than ever before.
Brando was also stunned.
He never dreamed that Lu Yuan would be like this...
…
The audience in the audience could hardly believe their ears.
What Lu Yuan announced was actually this?
The last piano piece?
Zhou Yao even covered her mouth. She didn't know why she felt sad.
She felt that Lu Yuan's back seemed so strong, yet so fragile.
As for Feng Xu, he was confused!
What on earth is Lu Yuan going to do?
Why would you suddenly announce these things and admit that you have no talent?
Is it modesty or what?
What's the trick here?
this……
Doesn't he know what this stage represents?
Won’t it affect his future piano career?
Feng Xu was in disarray in the wind...
