Chapter 272: Xichuan Yubai's Show of Good Will
After all, he is the only pianist who performed original pieces in the preliminary round, and they were both rhapsodies.
It was hard not to let the audience, judges, pianists, and netizens discuss it together.
Some netizens even said:
The reason why Lin Tian, with his resume and background, was able to advance to the finals was because he performed the same type of music as Yuka Nishikawa.
Because, except for some fans.
The vast majority of people, whether pianists or on-site media reporters, believe that "Croatian Rhapsody" is an absolute world-class masterpiece, which is much better than "Dawn Night Sorrow" by a lot.
Even though Lin Tian's playing level is relatively poor, it cannot change this fact.
Then Yubai Nishikawa advanced.
If Lin Tian didn't advance, it would be very embarrassing! At that time, the media reports would become: "Dawn Night's Sorrow" advanced, "Croatian Rhapsody" did not advance.
It's still the same type of song.
I hope that "Croatian Rhapsody" will be passed down through the ages.
In the next few hundred or even thousand years, whenever someone sang this song, it would be popularized.
Oh, it’s this piece of music. When it was first performed, it was defeated by “Dawn of the Night” in the 2025 Sakikuni International Piano Competition and failed to advance.
This is so embarrassing!
It’s just like God of War 4 beat Red Dead Redemption 2 to win the 2018 TGA Game of the Year.
In the next ten years, whenever someone praised Red Dead Redemption 2, they would bring out God of War 4 to criticize it, but people actually had no ill will towards God of War 4. The main criticism was still directed at the stupid TGA.
Sakibon International doesn’t dare to gamble.
If "Croatian Rhapsody" really becomes immortal, it might be criticized for hundreds of years.
Even if it was a well-known exhibition match, they didn't dare to make it so ugly.
This allowed Lin Tian to advance.
This is the view of some netizens.
However, it is disgusting to Yubai Nishikawa now.
Now everyone has tacitly acknowledged that, even though Lin Tian's playing level was lower than Xichuan Yubai's, his music actually beat him by a huge margin.
From now on, whenever the great pianist Yukaku Nishikawa performs an original piece in a competition and shines, everyone will remember that there was once a talented musician named Lin Tian who performed a masterpiece that crushed him.
From then on, there will probably be a dark cloud called "Lin Tian" hanging over Yuka Nishikawa's piano career.
Every step forward will change whoever it is. I guess everyone will explode.
This is also the reason why Japanese netizens are so anxious.
[(It was just a lucky break. Nishikawa will definitely make up for it in the finals!)]
[(She is just a newcomer, and her playing ability doesn’t seem that great, not worth mentioning!)]
[(That’s right, his playing ability is really bad! Besides, there is no actual evidence to prove that the song was written by him, right? Mr. Nishikawa’s real rival is Mr. Burke)]
Japanese netizens seized on Lin Tian's two opinions, "poor playing ability" and "the song may not be written by himself" and attacked him on Twitter.
For a while.
The conflict between Lin Tian and Nishikawa Yubai caused a sensation on Twitter.
There were some radical remarks. Lin Tian himself felt a little uncomfortable reading them.
Lin Tian put down his phone, feeling a little embarrassed.
Could it be that if I offended Yubai Nishikawa, I would be attacked by Japanese extreme fans as soon as I walk out of here?
“.”
"Teacher Lin Tian."
At this time, a voice sounded.
Lin Tian turned his head.
A man in a white suit broke the silence of the lounge and walked forward.
What a coincidence.
Lin Tian happened to have seen his performance and knew his name——
Yuka Nishikawa.
"I wasn't in the same lounge with you last time, but this time I can finally talk to you."
Xichuan Yubai smiled kindly and walked up to him.
This great pianist's Chinese is surprisingly good.
"My name is Xichuan Youbai. I don't know if you, Mr. Lin Tian, have seen my performance. Last time, I also played a rhapsody on the stage."
Yubai Nishikawa introduced himself modestly.
“Oh, I remember that.”
Lin Tian nodded, "Hello."
He had clearly made the other party lose face online last time, and he had just seen a bunch of tweets on Twitter praising him and belittling Yukaku Nishikawa. Now that the other party himself had come to him on his own initiative, Lin Tian still felt a little bit embarrassed.
"Teacher Lin Tian, the Croatian Rhapsody you wrote last time was great! I went back and practiced it on my own for a while. It's really an excellent piece! It's worth learning!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xichuan Yubai said sincerely and seriously.
"Thanks."
Lin Tian replied politely.
Unexpectedly, this guy is surprisingly quite frank.
No wonder there were so many people standing around this guy during the welcome banquet. Not only is he strong, it seems he also has good social skills and popularity.
Logically speaking, Lin Tian should have politely replied, "Your song is not bad," but he really couldn't praise it.
When chatting with Watanabe Satoru, he gave his evaluation - not very good.
After Lin Tian said thank you, the air was quiet for a while.
Yubai Nishikawa's expression was obviously a little embarrassed.
After adjusting for a few seconds, he smiled again, "Ah! It's just a pity that my song bumped into your genre last time, and my skills were not as good as yours. My song was indeed not good enough, so I was suppressed!"
It stands to reason that music is such a subjective thing, and it is not easy to be willing to admit that you are not as good as others, especially when facing younger generations.
Lin Tian is a rare pianist who is so open-minded. No wonder he has so many fans! Hearing this, Lin Tian finally stood up from his chair and showed respect to the powerful pianist in front of him.
He said seriously, "Teacher Nishikawa, I didn't mean to offend you last time. I didn't mean to target you."
"This time, I wrote a song in a very niche genre, so we won't collide again!"
"real??"
Yubai Nishikawa's expression was somewhat surprised, as if he had finally gotten a long-awaited answer.
"real!"
Lin Tian said.
Although Sakikuni International tacitly did not announce the list of songs including other contestants to the contestants.
However, the song that Lin Tian played this time was indeed very niche.
Moreover, in this competition dominated by pop music, it is the most unpopular one that cannot be more unpopular.
There can be no peers.
"It's a pity that I can't compete with you again."
Nishikawa Yubai tried hard to show a regretful expression,
Then, he smiled and said, "But I'm glad to enjoy this final with you! Teacher Lin Tian!"
Said, Xichuan Youbai stretched out his hand, "Please give me your guidance!"
"Um."
Lin Tian held it and nodded.
"Please give me more advice."
