There is no evidence more reliable than speaking with strength.
Fang Ziyang's pride and arrogance have always been based on his clear assessment of his own strength. Every step he takes after his rebirth is carefully calculated with regard to the gains and losses.
After I sent the message on Weibo, the next day, the school was closed for the holiday on Friday.
When Fang Ziyang packed up his things and returned to Xie Zheng's small manor, there were many people who looked like workers coming in and out and it was very lively.
He was a little curious, "Aunt Wang Shufen, are you going to decorate your house or arrange a banquet? Why is it so lively?"
Although he always felt that it was a bit strange and inconvenient to live in Xie Zheng's house, but since he had already moved in, Fang Ziyang would not continue to be pretentious and entangled. He was very outgoing and friendly, and within a few days he had established a very good relationship with Uncle Wang and Aunt Fen.
See him coming back.
Aunt Wang Shufen was also very happy and hurried to help her young master take credit.
"It's decoration. Isn't the young master going to do a piano challenge on the live broadcast? The eldest young master specially instructed us to set up a piano room yesterday. There is also a custom-made piano that was just airlifted back from abroad. It's all ready in the piano room. Does Young Master Ziyang want to go and take a look now? The building materials and piano were all selected by the eldest young master himself."
The eldest young master has finally found a girl he likes, so they have to help him out, otherwise when will they be able to see the young young master?
"He picked it himself..."
When Fang Ziyang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I must be happy in my heart, because it feels really good to be cared for by others.
But he and Xie Zheng were destined to be from two different worlds. The better Xie Zheng treated him now, the more disappointed he would be in him when he knew his true face in the future. And he couldn't enjoy these good things as a matter of course. He really didn't want Xie Zheng to hate him in the future, but Xie Zheng seemed to be obviously attracted to him.
But the problem is, the him that Xie Zheng likes now... is not the real him.
It seems that he must find a way to resolve Xie Zheng's feelings for him, otherwise if he drags it on, it will not be good for both him and Xie Zheng.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Ziyang looked at Aunt Fen and smiled sweetly.
"Brother Xie has a good taste, and I will definitely like what he chooses. Is Aunt Fenn busy now? If not, can you help me buy some beef? My brother and Brother Rick will be back today, so I will cook today."
"Don't worry, my Aunt Fen will go buy it right away. I didn't expect that Master Ziyang can cook. This is really great. Master Ziyang can also cook other things. Our eldest master likes to eat mutton the most. How about Master Ziyang also cook some?"
Aunt Fen was beaming with joy, and automatically ignored the fact that Fang Ziyang mentioned other people, misinterpreting it to mean that Young Master Ziyang wanted to cook for their eldest young master himself.
She is good-looking, good at studying, and can even cook and is not bad at housework either. They are a perfect match. Her eldest master has a good eye for choosing people!
"...Aunt Fen, you can do it. I can cook most home-cooked dishes."
Unable to bear to refuse the old man, Fang Ziyang laughed dryly and nodded.
Having received the confirmation, Aunt Fen happily went to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Uncle Wang smiled and arranged for the servants to clean the newly renovated piano room. He took out his cell phone and walked to the corner to call his eldest master.
"Hey, is he home yet?"
On the other end, Xie Zheng answered the phone very quickly and started asking questions right after the call. It was obvious that he had been waiting for the reporting call for a long time.
Uncle Wang was also very happy. "Young Master Zi Yang is back. He likes the arrangement made by the eldest young master. Just now, Young Master Zi Yang said that he would cook for you personally. The eldest young master must come back early today..."
Xie Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but sit up straight, "He really wants to cook for me himself?"
"Of course it's true. The young master has a good eye."
Uncle Wang was very pleased, and then continued, "But I think Young Master Ziyang has never suffered much hardship before. If it doesn't suit your taste later, Young Master, please don't show it, otherwise it will undermine Young Master Ziyang's self-confidence."
"Um."
On the other end of the phone, Xie Zheng's voice was filled with indescribable happiness.
Uncle Wang hung up the phone.
His face was also full of smiles.
Fang Ziyang, who had not returned to his room yet, felt even more upset when he saw Uncle Wang's actions.
There was a long silence.
He made a decision.
I went back to my room, took out my diary, and started writing...
It’s better not to give people any hope for things that have no results.
He really didn't want to become a bad person anymore, he didn't want to.
…
Here, Fang Ziyang was not too worried about the live broadcast of the battle, and he still had time to think about other things.
But outside, the Internet became lively again because of his Weibo.
Over the past six months, Fang Ziyang's name has remained very popular. Every time he shows up, a major internet event is bound to occur. This has almost become a rule.
And this time is no exception.
Fang Ziyang's Weibo post "Come and fight me if you don't agree" was so arrogant that it was obvious that he was going to stir up trouble, because this familiar format and familiar formula were the same face-slapping declarations that Fang Ziyang had used before!
Looking at the accompanying picture again, and thinking about the doubtful rumors that have just circulated on the Internet, who doesn't understand that this is Fang Ziyang's response to the controversy caused by the performance list of Tsinghua University.
Although everyone was not clear about Fang Ziyang's piano level, they were shocked for a moment when they saw his tough attitude.
Netizens who had previously held skeptical attitudes began to waver.
"Fang Ziyang has such a tough attitude, does he really have some skills?"
"But the level of Fang Ziyang's piano playing in the previous video can really be considered average. Could this be just a bluff, like playing the empty city plan?"
"If it's just a bluff, it's too dangerous. It's easy to be exposed."
"I find it very strange. Why do you always question Fang Ziyang? Why can't he have good grades and high talents? Those videos on the Internet may be just him hiding his shortcomings in the past. Everyone should know about Fang Ziyang's family past. If he performs too well, won't his scumbag father eat him up until there is nothing left?"
"That's right, aren't people allowed to be geniuses in every aspect?"
"Why are you talking so much? If you have any dissatisfaction, just challenge our young master. You are just talking nonsense!"
Fang Ziyang has been hacked too many times online, but there are still many smart people on the Internet who can no longer see that something is wrong.
After a while, these netizens couldn't help but feel sympathy for Fang Ziyang, and were very angry at the person behind the scenes who was always stirring up trouble and making the Internet a mess. Naturally, everyone's hearts began to lean towards Fang Ziyang.
Besides, Fang Ziyang has already stated directly that he will challenge anyone who questions him. Doesn’t this prove something? What’s the point of talking nonsense on the Internet!
Of course, not all those who question Fang Ziyang are just talking nonsense on the Internet. Some people have taken actual actions and are really preparing to go to the live broadcast on Saturday to challenge Fang Ziyang.
Some of the people there were simply curious about Fang Ziyang's piano skills;
There is also a group of people who saw that this incident had caused such a stir and wanted to take the opportunity to show their faces in front of netizens and gain fame.
Wang Yang is the latter.
He is a junior student at the Beijing Conservatory of Music, majoring in piano. He is very good at it and has won many awards in various piano competitions in the country. He is also a well-known figure in the school.
However, people who study art face many restrictions in their employment after graduation, and it is difficult to develop. Without background and capital, even if you have good talent, you may not be able to make a name for yourself. Every year, schools graduate so many talented school idols and beauties, but only a handful of them can actually achieve success and fame.
So he is going to graduate next year and he is very anxious about his future.
But just yesterday, he suddenly received a mysterious call.
The person on the other end of the phone told him that as long as he challenged Fang Ziyang live and won, he would be given five million and a place to study at the Tajik Conservatory of Music. Even if he loses, he can get a consolation payment of one million.
Although it's a bit strange.
But after careful consideration, he decided to agree.
If he could win the live challenge, he would gain both fame and fortune; even if he lost, he would get a million in consolation money and be able to show off his piano skills in front of so many people, so it would be a win-win situation.
So after hanging up the phone, he immediately ran to Fang Ziyang's live broadcast declaration and private message.
For various reasons, quite a few people finally declared to challenge Fang Ziyang, which made the online claims that Fang Ziyang was pretending to be calm and bluffing people completely refuted.
However, with so many people sending private messages challenging him, it is impossible for Fang Ziyang to accept everyone.
So he directly made a list of people who sent him private messages challenging him, and posted it online for netizens to vote. This will avoid the trouble of being accused of manipulation in selecting people later on.
Netizens like to watch the fun and are very satisfied and positive about it.
Most of the names on the list are more or less famous, and you can find information about them by searching their names on Baidu. Even netizens who don’t know piano can vote based on the information on Baidu.
After all, the challenge will be broadcast live, and people without any skills will not dare to show up.
Finally, with the active participation of netizens, the vote was completed in less than one night.
There are three people in total, two of them are talented piano boys who are well-known on the Internet, and one is Wang Yang, the school idol of the music college. He is about the same age as Fang Ziyang, so it’s fair.
When Fang Ziyang woke up on Saturday morning, he saw that netizens had chosen their candidates. Without saying much, he directly posted the challenge information in the live broadcast room.
Then I go out for a morning run to adjust my condition and prepare for the live broadcast in the evening.
In the afternoon, Li Xiao, Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu came over.
Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu did not study at Tsinghua University. They both went to Nanjing University. Now, except for meeting on weekends, they can only communicate on the Internet and mobile phones on weekdays.
This time, the two of them came over not only to cheer him on, but also to see his live promotion.
That's right, it's propaganda.
Dongsheng Pharmaceutical's new products have all been produced and packaged, and now all that's left is to start selling them.
The company was still thinking about the publicity strategy, but now that there was an opportunity to broadcast live in front of the entire network audience, Fang Ziyang would of course seize it. This was one of his plans.
Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
Fang Ziyang logged into Orange Live on time.
He first looked at the audience in the live broadcast room. There were 5 million viewers, and the number was still soaring.
The capacity of the live broadcast room has also been adjusted to the maximum by the Orange Live main station. Obviously, after the last bullying incident, the live broadcast was reversed and almost caused the Orange platform server to crash. This time, Orange Live is ready for battle.
Their platform is very confident in Fang Ziyang's ability to stir up trouble.
As soon as Fang Ziyang went live, the first people to come to his attention were his fans who often followed him.
"Ahhh, young master, you finally decided to go online again? You fish for three days and dry the net for two days before feeding us food, don't you feel guilty?"
"I haven't seen my baby for a few days and he is still so pretty. I don't understand why there are always people criticizing my baby. Baby, don't be afraid. Mommy is a fan of you, muah~"
"Wife, I'm here to support you."
"Get out of here, who is your wife? This is obviously my husband! I want to see my husband slap his face."
"You bunch of mortals, do you want my young master? All of you, get out of here. There are too many comments and I can't see my young master's face..."
Although netizens are easily instigated, once they become someone's die-hard fans, they are truly adorable.
This is the first time in my life that an outsider has defended me like this.
Fang Ziyang was speechless for a moment as he looked at the comments. He didn't know what he was feeling, and a lot of things suddenly came to his mind.
But it was only a moment of distraction, and soon he perked up and smiled.
"Thank you all for your support. I didn't expect to be hacked again. Time is running out, so I won't waste any more time. Let's get started. Let's speak for ourselves."
But what Fang Ziyang didn't know was.
His little moment of distraction was still noticed by some viewers, who took screenshots and posted them online after the live broadcast, sparking another heated discussion.
Now, after a brief greeting, Fang Ziyang went straight to the point and immediately connected with the first challenger.
The other party was also prepared and answered the call immediately. Soon the live broadcast room was divided into two. On the other side of the video, a girl with a very queen-like dress and expression appeared.
Fang Ziyang had heard of this girl. After all, he also studied piano, so he naturally had some understanding of the talented peers in the circle.
Moreover, this girl is very familiar with the little music prince who lost the performance spot to him. The other party is called Wang Jiajia. Three generations of her family have studied music. She also comes from a musical family. She is currently studying at Nanjing University and is a famous cold campus beauty in Nanjing University.
This time, Wang Jiajia came to take on the challenge purely out of curiosity.
She and the little prince of music are childhood friends. She is very familiar with his piano level, which can be said to be relatively outstanding among domestic teenagers. Not only did the other party lose the school's performance quota to her, but when she went to inquire, the other party also had a very high opinion of Fang Ziyang.
Artists like them would inevitably want to compete with each other when encountering such a situation. After all, Fang Ziyang has no fame in the piano circle.
Wang Jiajia is a very straightforward lady. She didn't say much when the video started. She said directly,
"Liu Yu and I are friends. Liu Yu is the little music prince who lost to you on the performance list. He highly praises your piano skills. I rarely hear him praise anyone in this regard. My level is about the same as his, so I want to try it with you too."
"'To Cornell', this is the piano piece I am best at. I will give it my all, so please don't let me down."
Although her tone was cool, Wang Jiajia's attitude was very respectful.
After saying that, she adjusted the camera, sat in front of the piano, prepared for ten seconds, and started playing.
The title of "cold and aloof campus beauty" of Nanjing University is not false. Wang Jiajia basically never smiles outside, she is a cold and domineering lady.
And when the other party started playing the piano, Fang Ziyang knew that she was also a talented girl, a musical genius.
Although "To Cornaid" is not one of the top ten famous songs in the world, it is still quite famous.
To some extent, this piano piece is even more difficult to play than the world's top ten famous pieces, because in order to play "To Cornell" well one needs very rich experience in love, and young people who are not experienced enough cannot play it well.
You may not be able to fully understand what I am saying, so maybe you will understand it better if I talk about the background of the creation of "To Cornaid".
The author of this piano piece was a female pianist in the 19th century. This piece "To Cornaid" was written for the man she loved most and was also her last composition before her death.
This female pianist's love life was very turbulent. She had four boyfriends in her life.
Her first boyfriend was her classmate. They were in love for many years, but the man eventually betrayed her and got together with her best friend. Her boyfriend and friend both betrayed her;
Because of this reason, the female pianist began to reject love, but was finally moved by the persistence of her second boyfriend, and they fell in love and got married.
But who knew that the second man was actually a Phoenix man, who pursued her only for money, and abandoned her after getting her family's property;
At this point, the female pianist was completely disappointed in love and began her miserable life. Then she met her third man. She thought this was redemption, but who knew it was another tragedy. She was deceived and hurt again.
By the time she met her fourth man, the female piano turned evil and developed a very strong resentment and disgust towards men.
However, the fourth man truly loved the female pianist and kept chasing after her, but he never got a response from her until she went to the battlefield and left behind a pile of relics and ashes.
The man's comrades told the pianist that the man's only last words were that he loved her...
The news caused the female pianist to collapse on the spot.
She actually loved Conrad, but she was afraid of being disappointed again.
Her life seemed like an absurd drama. She seemed to be a chess piece played by God. Endless despair, sorrow, resentment, love, regret, and remorse... and other emotions intertwined, and finally she created "To Cornell".
Conrad.
That was the name of the fourth man.
After writing and performing this piano piece, the female pianist committed suicide at home.
Therefore, if you do not have such a profound emotional experience, it is difficult to play the real "To Cornell". Basically, those who can play "To Cornell" well have suffered serious emotional trauma.
Therefore, in the piano world, this piece of music is also known as the music that no one wants to play.
However, Wang Jiajia, a girl in her twenties, played "To Cornell" and she played it very well.
Even the die-hard fans of Fang Ziyang in the live broadcast room had to admit that the song he played was really beautiful and touching.
In fact, the people who can truly appreciate music are not masters or experts, but passers-by who do not understand music at all. Because they do not understand musical techniques, their intuitive feelings after listening to the music are the most standard evaluation of the quality of the music.
"Although I don't understand music, the way the girl played made me want to cry. It reminded me of the bastard who dumped me! And I also remembered the tenderness of my boyfriend when he helped me tie my shoelaces..."
"I just checked the background and playing difficulty of this song "To Cornaid" on the Internet. It turns out that the young lady can play it so well. It's amazing!"
"Wow, has the young lady ever been hurt in love? Otherwise, why is she so devoted to her feelings? Wow..."
The audience in the live broadcast room unanimously praised Wang Jiajia's piano skills.
This is definitely a level that can be performed in a concert.
When Wang Jiajia came out of her musical mood, Fang Ziyang generously praised her and smiled honestly, "Your level is very high. I can't play this song."
“That’s what I do best.”
Wang Jiajia accepted the compliment without any modesty, nodded slightly, and then waited for his next words.
"But you can't play the song I play either."
Fang Ziyang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
He also adjusted the live camera, then sat in front of the piano and opened the piano lid.
However, with just this casual action, Fang Ziyang's temperament changed drastically in that instant.
He was obviously still himself, but the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to have suddenly seen another person. The sunny boy with a gentle smile in the video suddenly became haggard.
"The piano piece I played is called 'The Abyss'. No one has heard it before today. You are the first audience to hear it..."
Fang Ziyang's voice slowly emerged from his throat.
There seemed to be countless emotions in the plain tone. It was obviously a very clear young voice, but for no reason it made people feel a sense of vicissitudes of life.
“Zheng!”
When the first note sounded.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked, as if their minds were suddenly taken away by something.
Wang Jiajia's cool expression immediately changed.
The song "Abyss" chosen by Fang Ziyang is not a world-famous song. As he said just now, the audience in the live broadcast room at this moment are the first audience of this piano piece, because this song was composed by him.
Just like the name of the piece, the inspiration for this piano piece came from his abyssal experience in his previous life.
He was not arrogant and thought that his creative level could be compared with that of famous pianists. He just did it out of respect for Wang Jiajia. Wang Jiajia brought out her best piece of music to challenge him, so he naturally had to bring out his best piece of music.
And is there any song that can better demonstrate his level and musical emotion than the ones he wrote himself?
Music is something that expresses emotions. Being able to play music that touches people's hearts is a high level of performance.
