Chapter 196 Full of Confidence (3 more monthly tickets requested)
Kurosawa Hikaru took the elevator, returned home, and took out his mobile phone.
In the group chat, Runa sent many messages.
A lot of this is about publicity effectiveness, but there is one crucial message.
Runai: "Zero hour, don't forget the piano performance tomorrow night. I'll send you a message when you see it."
"I haven't forgotten." Kurosawa Hikaru responded after seeing this information.
Unlike one-on-one chats, there was no instant reply. During this period, Kurosawa Hikaru put down the shoulder bag containing the finger protector and hakama suit and walked into the bedroom.
"You're too busy. You didn't reply until 9pm."
"Special archery training, there's nothing we can do about it."
Since the matter had already been discussed, Kurosawa Hikaru naturally used this as a reason.
After all, he did go to Kyudo for special training. After dinner tonight, Brother Shinichi Sato started from scratch, demonstrating and explaining every step of Kyudo etiquette to him step by step.
"I'll pick you up when you get out of school tomorrow."
"OK."
After deciding on the meeting, Liu Nai sent a long message: "Are you confident about your performance tomorrow night? Tomorrow night you will perform at the Grand Concert Hall, which can accommodate more than 2,300 people. Due to the publicity in the past two days, Judging from the response on Twitter, even if it is not full, there will be a lot of people, and there will be live broadcasts on TV stations and online.”
"Confident... Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who suffers from stage fright. Can I play other piano music than this?"
"What song do you want to play? Flight of the Bumblebee? This would really work better for a live performance."
"No, it's other piano music."
Kurosawa Hikaru walked to the desk and looked at the dozen or so papers on the table that were densely filled with musical notes.
This is the score he wrote this morning when he was inspired and recalled the piano music of Prince Piano.
But a dozen sheets does not mean there are a dozen piano pieces, because he wrote them on notebook paper, not a special sheet of music paper.
Although it may not be a 100% reproduction, there are some notes and beats that he cannot fully recall, but he filled in the notes with his music theory knowledge and experience as a proficient piano player, as well as inspiration.
Piano music is not static, because a real pianist does not just rely on technique in playing, but more importantly, a performance that is devoted to piano music.
Only in this way will a piano piece not only sound good, but also have a variety of emotions.
"What piano music?"
"Secret, but the new track will definitely be better than Croatian Rhapsody."
Kurosawa Hikaru pressed his hand on a dozen pieces of piano music, spread it out like a fan, lightly touched the notes on the paper with his fingertips, and typed this sentence with one hand.
"Croatian Rhapsody" is a very nice piano piece, and for many outsiders, it is even shocking.
But in fact, it is not very difficult to play, and it is not a piano solo. The pure piano version will be a bit monotonous.
In comparison, Prince of Piano, Richard Clayderman's classics, "Adelina by the Water", "Dream Wedding", "Whispers of Autumn", and many more, are all It's a piano solo.
This kind of repertoire is more suitable to be performed in occasions such as piano competitions. After all, everyone present is knowledgeable.
"Okay, I will negotiate." As an agent, Runai is good at discovering the advantages and strengths of others, and trusting the artist's judgment and ideas.
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After settling the matter, Kurosawa Hikaru closed the group chat.
During this process, Ninomiya Chizuru never appeared, so she was probably peeking at the screen.
"Good evening."
Thinking of this, Kurosawa Hikaru also sent her a message.
"Good evening. Is the special kyudo training so hard?"
As expected, along with the private chat, Ninomiya Chizuru responded quickly.
I don't have time until nine o'clock in the evening, even if I work, it's not that hard.
"Because I want to win the championship."
"Then there's no way."
Ninomiya Chizuru realized this situation and expressed her understanding.
The championship is a very important ranking because it represents the first place.
It is not easy to get first place in anything.
"You must come and see me perform tomorrow night."
Kurosawa Hikaru also said as he was thinking about what will happen tomorrow night.
"I will go." To this, Ninomiya Chizuru also agreed.
"Rest early, good night."
Having settled the matter, since a simple typing chat couldn't say much and couldn't convey any emotions, Kurosawa Hikaru decided to end the topic.
"Good night."
Ninomiya Chizuru was still working. After a brief greeting and small talk, she continued busy.
After contacting her daily, Kurosawa Hikaru also took out his mobile phone to read the messages sent by Xiao Yuki.
After reading it carefully, he made a video call.
"Brother Guang, good evening You are finally done."
The video call was quickly passed. Yuki Ichinose placed the phone on the small table in front of the bed and fixed it as usual, sat cross-legged on the carpet, smiled and waved to him.
"I'm not done yet. I just got home. I have to take a shower, wash clothes and go to bed soon."
Kurosawa Hikaru also sat on the ground and chatted with her.
Unlike others, Xiao Yuki is the most attached to him. After all, she is unrestrained and does not hide her feelings and likes.
"I didn't get home until nine o'clock. It was so hard."
"You didn't go home until eight o'clock, not earlier than me."
"Because I went shopping with them, and as expected, friendship needs to be maintained. When Lan heard me saying that I wanted to go to the odd hour show, she burst into laughter and hugged me and cheered."
Ichinose Yuki spread his hands, then put them on the ground and leaned over with a happy look on his face.
"Of course, no matter what you do, it is more interesting to be with someone than to be alone."
Realizing that something like this had happened to them, Kurosawa smiled.
The world is a big place, and if you are alone, you will inevitably feel lonely.
"Indeed, the performance tickets are quite expensive. One ticket costs 10,000 yen, and we still have to fight for them."
Ichinose Yuki nodded, agreeing with this statement, and immediately became speechless.
"This is considered cheap, after all, it is the final of the competition."
"Is this cheap? So what is expensive?"
"Depending on the specifications, performers and venue size, it's normal for ticket prices to be around tens of thousands."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and didn't say it was too exaggerated for her.
Tickets for idols' concerts, such as Fujiwara Rikka and super VIP seats, can even sell for 50,000 yen each because of the limited quantity.
As for the pianist's concert, he didn't ask, but the price should be about the same.
You can watch the show for only 10,000 yen, which is already very cheap.
"Wow..." Yuki Ichinose was shocked.
"Have you never been to a concert before?"
"Except for Lan, who likes to chase stars and goes there occasionally, no one is very interested... Will Brother Guang chase stars?"
"I've never chased stars."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head without hesitation, even though he also had a favorite singer.
But in his previous life, he only bought a digital album by Jay Chou on the Internet, and he never went to any star's concert.
"I'm going to watch Master Zero's performance tomorrow night to see how his performance is. If it's good, how about we go watch it together next time?"
Ichinose Yuki was not surprised, and then asked after thinking about it.
"OK."
Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned when he heard this, and immediately agreed.
He could only agree to this matter verbally, and he would think of ways to make excuses when the day came.
After all, he is Zero Hour. Xiao Yuki goes to watch Zero Hour's performance with him. How should he watch it? Is he watching himself perform on stage? He doesn't have the ability to clone himself.
The system has made it clear that it has no superpowers... Skills such as the clone technique are obviously impossible.
The two of them chatted happily through video chat on their mobile phones.
"It's ten o'clock. Brother Guang, go to bed quickly. We have final exams this week."
As time passed, Ichinose Yuki also kept a close eye on the time. When he saw 10 o'clock, he found the right opportunity to speak.
Although she really wanted to be with Brother Guang, even if she just talked and chatted on the phone, she was still happy, but Brother Guang still had things to be busy with.
…
The next day, Kurosawa Hikaru came to school.
"Kurosawa, I heard that you are going to participate in the archery competition?"
As soon as he sat down, Yuta Miyazaki leaned over and asked.
"Where did you hear that?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned when he heard this and felt strange.
He didn't tell anyone else about this matter...and those few people who knew about it probably wouldn't spread it around.
"I don't know who it came from. I just heard someone saying that Kurosawa Hikaru is good at archery and would be very handsome in hakama clothes. He also said that you might participate in the Tokyo Martial Arts Festival on August 10. The news about the National University Archery Competition in the museum is quite lively.”
Miyazaki Yuta thought for a while and then explained.
According to this situation, there should be some students from Dongda University to watch the fun.
Even if there are not many people who know archery, after all, the competition time is during the summer vacation, so leisure is leisure.
"I do want to compete."
Kurosawa didn't deny it after thinking for a while. Although he didn't know where the rumors came from, rumors usually didn't come out of nowhere.
"You didn't tell me earlier about this. Don't you want me to cheer you up?"
After receiving his affirmation, Miyazaki Yuta couldn't help but complain.
"There are still so many days until the competition on August 10th. I am telling you this when I plan to take summer vacation."
"Really?"
"real."
Kurosawa Hikaru did have this idea. After all, although he knew many people at Tokyo University, this guy was his best friend.
During the chat, class started soon.
Ninomiya Chizuru also came to the classroom, checked the students as usual, and then started class.
Although we are in class, tomorrow is the final exam. Rather than content knowledge, the most important thing is to urge students to cheer up and take the exam seriously.
Maybe she had an unforgettable date with Kurosawa Hikaru on Saturday, but at school, she didn't show any signs of being weird, and she didn't let anyone see any flaws.
