Chapter 203: A Great Victory (Monthly Tickets Plus)
"Bah bang bang!"
At the end of the song, when Kurosawa Hikaru stood up, he was greeted with thunderous applause.
Standing in front of the piano, he looked back and saw the extremely enthusiastic reactions of the audience, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
This scene was very much like the dream he had.
At this moment, the dream came into reality.
Sitting on stage performing and enjoying people's recognition and love is a very enjoyable moment.
Maybe some people can be indifferent to fame and fortune, but they are very few people.
Most people like to be famous and enjoy the feeling of being sought after, recognized and praised by others.
"Sure enough, she likes this piano music very much."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw Ninomiya Chizuru and found that the corners of her eyes were a little red. She was obviously extremely moved, even about to cry, and was very happy.
In the group chat last night, he deliberately did not say the name of the new track directly, but chose to keep it secret, just to surprise her at this moment.
In fact, even if he told Igarashi Runa in the group chat last night, the name of the new track was meaningless.
Because "Adelina by the Water" does not exist in this world, he will be the first person to perform and play this piece of music.
Perhaps this piece is not as good as Liszt's "The Bell" in terms of difficulty of performance or practical significance.
But as a romantic piano piece, as a love song, it has extraordinary meaning.
Especially for Ninomiya Chizuru, with her dating experience in Adera Valley, there is absolutely no piano music that can compare with "Adelina by the Waterside".
After paying attention, he also glanced around and saw the small group of hot girls sitting in the back.
"Does Yuki-chan like it too?"
Seeing the sweet smile on Ichinose Yuki's lips, Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little happy.
"Adelina by the Water, this will definitely be an epoch-making work!"
The judges at the judging table were also completely impressed by him at this moment, and were astonished.
If we say that Liszt's "The Bell" shows his zero-hour piano skills.
So what this song "Adelina by the Water" shows is the talent of composing.
In this world, the vast majority of pianists are sought after due to their skills.
But there are still a very small number of pianists who have the talent and ability to compose music and are admired by others.
There is no doubt that Master Ling Shi is not only a master of piano skills, but also an excellent composer.
This piano music, whether you know it or not, can feel it, and it will definitely become popular all over the world.
"Thank you Master Zero Hour for the performance you gave us. Do you want to play a few more songs? It's 8:20 now, and there's still a lot of time before the game ends."
The host came to his senses amid the applause and came on stage again to summarize the cheers of the people.
"That's it for today. We must leave time to young people. They are the future of the piano world."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about this question for a while. Although he still had several songs to play, he still shook his head.
Today is a piano competition, not his recital.
Originally, he only planned to play one piece when he came here, but now he played three pieces, which was already beyond his expectations.
If you continue to play, it will inevitably overshadow the play.
"We're not in a hurry. It's okay if you play a few more songs."
Hearing this, the players waiting for the results in the audience immediately became anxious.
This kind of live performance by a piano master is something you don’t just want to see. If you miss it this time, you don’t know how long it will take to see it again next time.
"After the judges select the rankings, can you please give medals to the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up?"
The host naturally heard the voices of the contestants, but through the instructions from the background, he also asked.
Master Zero Hour doesn't plan to perform anymore, so don't force it, because if you really have to say it through the microphone, things will be difficult.
"sure."
Kurosawa thought for a moment and nodded.
Originally, as a special guest this time, one of his duties was to send blessings and encouragement to the new generation of piano students.
“Okay, please step down and rest for a while, and I’ll invite you back up later.
After getting his permission, the host breathed a sigh of relief and said.
This must be done, because the performance just now has very high ratings, and there are also a lot of viewers for the online live broadcast.
If we leave the market at zero hour, these data will definitely plummet.
But if he hasn't left yet and will appear again in the future, I believe those fans will stick to it until the end.
"Hello, Mr. Zero Hour."
As he stepped down, the blond foreigner came over and shouted Kurosawa's name in Japanese.
"Hello, I'm Ling Shi, I don't know my name."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed his movement and stepped forward to reach out to him.
"My name is Robert, and on behalf of the Croatians, I would like to sincerely thank you for the rhapsody you created for Croatia."
The pianist Robert's Japanese level is average, and he just learned the name temporarily. Seeing his response, he shook hands with him excitedly and spoke balabala in English.
As a foreigner, he is very tall, about 1.95 meters tall.
Although there was a height difference, Robert bowed his head and held one of his hands with his hands, his eyes full of reverence.
"I also want to thank you for recommending me as a special guest to come to this stage."
Kurosawa felt his kindness, smiled, and communicated with him in English.
"Wow, Mr. Zero Hour speaks really good English."
Hearing these words, Robert was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh.
Although pianists usually have high academic qualifications, their English speaking ability is very strong.
"Same for you."
Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and said humorously.
"Mr. Zero Hour, your version of "The Bell" is the best I have ever heard. Can you give me an autograph?"
At the same time, another judge came over, this time it was Neon Man.
The pianist who is also Neon, with his superb and peak performance just now, his respect for Zero Hour has reached its peak, and he is even proud of him.
"Let's wait until the end of the game to talk about this kind of thing. You can rank the players first."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know him, but others respected him, and he respected them too. He smiled and said.
"Mr. Zero Hour, do you want to comment together?" Robert invited.
For pianists, there is no such thing as the same level, only high and low.
There is no doubt that Mr. Zero's piano skills are definitely the first in the large concert hall of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"I was busy and arrived late. I couldn't hear all the players' performances and couldn't participate."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head and did not participate.
"Excuse me for now."
Because the game was not limited to this club, but was also broadcast live online, Kurosawa Hikaru did not waste time with them.
After that, he turned around and walked backstage.
The audience was full of seats, but there was no place for him.
"Master Zero Hour, I love you."
As he was about to leave, some female fans also shouted.
"I love you too."
Hearing this call, Kurosawa followed the call and saw a beautiful black-haired woman, and responded with a smile.
If he remembered correctly, this beauty was Shizuka Kitajima, a famous YouTuber with millions of fans.
During the Internet war in the past two days, she was very active. Even as a public figure, she always said good things for him.
"Wow……"
Kitajima Shizuka didn't expect that he would respond to her like this. She was stunned for a moment, full of surprise.
At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt a strong gaze.
Even without turning his head, he knew that this should be the sight of Ninomiya Chizuru.
Obviously, because his response just now was too targeted, and it was directed at a beautiful woman, it directly attracted her attention.
This look was like a needle stabbing his back, and Kurosawa Hikari was secretly frightened. Amidst the cheers, he quickened his pace and walked backstage.
He walked to the side of the stage, opened a door and walked in. He finally left people's sight.
"Zero Hour, you are so great. Whether it's the song "The Bell" or "Adilina by the Waterside", they are all divine performances."
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Igarashi Runa, who had been waiting in advance, immediately cheered.
Her hands were very restless. If it hadn't been for the lesson she learned last time, she would have wanted to hug Kurosawa's head and kiss him wildly.
"Did the counterattack succeed?"
Kurosawa Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the excitement on her face.
"It's not just a successful counterattack, it's a complete victory. Your fans are all proud now, and the Twitter topic, Neon No. 1 Pianist - Zero Hour, has also become a rapidly rising topic list."
Igarashi Runa was extremely happy and said eagerly.
This Kawai Asian Piano Competition, the youth finals of the Neon Division, has attracted a lot of attention.
Because of the publicity in the past two days and the Internet war, the attention has soared to unprecedented heights.
With multiple blessings, Liszt's "The Bell" played by Ling Shi as a special guest, his god-like piano skills directly broke the Internet.
Maybe it only lasted for ten minutes, but the exposure this time was terrible. After all, it was on TV and online live broadcast.
She is certain that starting from tomorrow, the name [Zero Hour] will be on various news headlines.
If "Croatian Rhapsody" made Zero Hour famous overnight, then tonight's performance is enough to make Zero Hour a god.
Tonight's performance was so wonderful. Whether it was Liszt's "The Bell", "Croatian Rhapsody" or the romantic piano piece "Adirina by the Water", they were all wonderful and enjoyable.
"That's good."
Seeing her excited reaction, Kurosawa smiled.
"Wonderful, so wonderful, Mr. Zero Hour."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with long hair, a ponytail, and a beard who looked very artistic came over and clapped his hands.
Kurosawa Hikaru felt strange when he saw his appearance, so he looked at Igarashi Runa.
"He is the organizer of this competition, Kawai Co., Ltd., the person in charge of operations and promotion of Kawai Piano, and one of the board of directors."
Although Igarashi Runa couldn't see his eyes, she felt his mask facing her, guessed his thoughts and explained in a low voice.
"Mr. Zero Hour, this is the first time we meet. I am Haruto Kawai. Nice to meet you."
When Kawai Yoto came in front of him, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself proactively.
"Mr. Kawai, nice to meet you."
Realizing that this was a big money sponsor, Kurosawa Hikaru also reached out his hand to shake his.
The fourth update is here, 2700 monthly tickets for an additional update.
