Chapter 414 Can the piano be played like this?

Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is divided into a large concert hall and a small concert hall.

The former is usually a dedicated concert hall for classical music such as concerts, ballets, operas, etc.

The latter is usually a small-scale classical music concert such as chamber music, piano performances, chorus, etc.

With the entrance at 7:40, it was close to 8 pm, and the audience of the large concert hall was already full.

Perhaps there were more than 2,000 spectators, but the huge hall was still quiet. People mostly talked in low voices and rarely made loud noises.

The Ninomiya couple entered at the standard time, that is, after the broadcast.

Because it was difficult to get a ticket, most of them were reserved tickets. The people sitting next to them were mostly partners, business leaders, or politicians who came with their wives and daughters.

"Ms. Chie, your daughter has really inherited your temperament and beauty."

We came to the concert hall together. While waiting for the show, the radiant, dignified and noble young woman praised it.

"Miss Junko's daughter is the same, just as beautiful as you."

Ninomiya Chie smiled brightly when she heard her praise.

They sat in the audience, enjoying themselves.

Ninomiya Naoki sat calmly and calmly, looking at the seat not far away from him from time to time.

That was the seat facing the center of the stage, where Ninomiya Chizuru sat, looking so beautiful.

She was well-read and elegant. As a university teacher, even if she didn't wear a gorgeous evening dress or heavy makeup, her temperament was so unique.

The more he saw the beauty of his baby daughter, the more uncomfortable he felt.

His daughter was so good, why did she have to be disobedient and date a pianist? And she quietly participated in the MV and announced it to the world at once.

A relationship was made public and known to everyone. If there was any disagreement during the relationship, how would it end?

"Mr. Naoki, is that the eldest daughter of the Maple Forest Group?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with neat hair and clothes, leaned over and asked.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Ninomiya Naoki followed his gaze and saw the extraordinary and outstanding Shifengyuan Mirai and the maid accompanying her in the same row, and nodded.

"I didn't expect that even such a big shot would come to this concert."

After getting the affirmation, this middle-aged man who looked a bit gentle sighed immediately.

Even if he was a political figure, the Maple Forest Group was still a behemoth to him.

Even more, because the higher he stood, the more he saw... He knew very well how terrifying the Maple Forest Group was.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are many members of the cabinet of Neon, all of whom belong to the faction of the Maple Forest Group.

"It is better not to disturb her."

Ninomiya Naoki was also deeply surprised by this matter, but he was very self-aware.

Even though he had struggled for decades and achieved multiple class leaps, he was only at the second class.

Facing a behemoth like the Maple Forest Consortium, even he did not dare to disturb it rashly.

"I know."

This politician was also a wise man, and that was an existence that they could not reach.

As people whispered to each other, the lights in the concert hall suddenly dimmed.

"It's about to start."

With this movement, the little girl who had specially called her parents to come with her was very excited.

However, she quickly shut up after being excited.

At the same time, the people who were still whispering and talking to each other became quiet when they saw the change in the lights.

Even those who had never seen a piano recital before, because they were particularly concerned about this performance, also specially investigated many related matters to avoid making mistakes.

Piano recital, unlike ordinary star concerts, has very strict etiquette requirements.

Even more, even the clothes are particular, such as men wearing suits, women wearing skirts, small dresses or evening gowns, and jeans and slippers should be avoided.

There is no need for light board support or singing along. There are also rules for applauding, such as not suddenly applauding when the performance is wonderful.

Applause can only be done after a piano piece is played. In special cases, if you want to applaud during the performance, you can only do it during the encore performance.

In a dark environment, the light will be more eye-catching.

The black Steinway grand piano stands in the center of the stage.

Under the guidance of the light, people have the opportunity to appreciate this piano like a work of art in a calm manner.

At the same time, photographers deployed in various parts of the concert hall are silently operating their equipment to take pictures.

The big concert hall is very quiet, and everyone is waiting, waiting for the lights to light up, waiting for subsequent changes.

But just as people are waiting for the spotlight to move, or to turn it off and then on, people who are more adaptable to the dark can vaguely feel that something is moving in the darkness of the stage.

The few people who were shocked by this all had their heartbeats accelerated, and their eyes followed the darkness that seemed to be moving.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and with the addition of the microphone on the stage, it echoed throughout the audience.

In the darkness, a figure walked out, stepped into the area of ​​the spotlight, and appeared in front of people.

Gentleman's hat, tuxedo, white shirt, black bow tie, and a signature mask.

"!"

Most of the audience were surprised by his silent and unpredictable appearance.

As for the few who noticed it in advance, they were all surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lingshi appeared under the spotlight, walked to the piano in two steps, and then turned to face the audience.

He didn't say anything, just facing the audience and the camera.

Because of the unique mask and appearance, his expression could not be seen clearly. His straight posture like a gun looked very solemn and serious, and people dared not make loud noises.

The audience who originally planned to applaud when he appeared on stage were all tense at this moment, not knowing what to do.

Compared with the audience on the scene, the audience on the Internet, unlike face-to-face, did not feel as strong, but they were also deeply attracted by his presence and did not dare to look away, for fear of missing something.

At this moment, Lingshi took off his gentleman's hat and bowed to the audience.

His movements were very graceful, and both his arm span and the curve of his bow were natural and elegant.

As he bowed, the lights came on one by one, and in an instant, bright and comfortable lights filled the entire hall.

"I am Lingshi, and I would like to thank all the audience for watching my concert."

Lingshi straightened up, gently placed his gentleman's hat on his head, and spoke to the audience again.

When his magnetic and deep voice sounded, everyone seemed to have awakened deep memories.

I am Lingshi, and all the audience who came to Tokyo Bunka Kaikan today are very familiar with this opening statement.

Because Lingshi had not released an album before, and only uploaded single videos on Youtobe, fans would hear this sentence every time they listened to his songs.

The calm and steady tone, the magnetic and deep mature voice, are even more recognizable than the mask, and more familiar.

Lights bring people a sense of security, and familiar things bring people warmth and comfort.

"Pa pa pa pa!"

The next moment, the whole audience was boiling, and thunderous applause was endless.

Such an appearance was not gorgeous or dazzling at all, but the words "I am Zero Hour" directly ignited the whole audience.

Not only that, the audience who watched this scene on the broadcast platform were also very excited.

Because the opening line "I am Zero Hour" has a very important meaning... In the process of repeated listening, the meaning of this sentence has been attached too much.

It is like the prelude to the sound of nature. As long as you hear this sentence, it means that the next performance will be wonderful.

The moment this sentence sounded, it was as if everyone was brought back to a familiar place.

"So cool."

Seeing this scene, Chie Ninomiya couldn't help but brighten her eyes, followed everyone, integrated into the atmosphere, and actively applauded.

She didn't know whether this was a deliberate design or an unintentional act, but she knew very well that Zero Hour's every move, every word and deed directly ignited the atmosphere of the whole audience. This ability is very powerful.

Unlike what we saw in the video before, Reitoki is very tall and in good shape. He is not the skinny type, otherwise he can't wear a tuxedo.

And Reitoki's voice is also very nice, the key is his temperament, which is different from others.

"Is it necessary to applaud?"

Ninomiya Naoki found that his wife was also applauding, and he was speechless and disdainful.

He didn't applaud, but just looked at the man on the stage.

Wearing a mask, no one could notice the changes in his expression or his eyes.

The lights were still bright, and Kurosawa Hikaru naturally noticed the existence of Ninomiya Naoki.

Maybe he had never met him before, or even seen his photos, but he still saw that Ninomiya Naoki was Chizuru's father.

Because looking at the whole audience, he was the only one who didn't applaud, and his eyes were hostile.

Soon, the lights in the concert hall dimmed again, and the spotlight on the stage appeared in people's eyes again.

Once again becoming the protagonist of the stage, Kurosawa Hikaru turned around and walked towards the piano.

Seeing his upcoming performance, the applause gradually subsided.

After warming up, Kurosawa Hikaru sat in front of the piano.

He had already tested the sound of this piano when he arrived in advance.

Although he had not played or rehearsed it specifically, he had heard the sound of each key position, and after adjusting it, it was already the most familiar state.

However, he did not start playing immediately, but closed his eyes and slightly raised his head.

The state of the instrument was already perfect, but his state was not yet at its peak.

He was not nervous. It might be his first concert, but the theoretical knowledge and experience given by the piano made him not afraid of such a scene.

Every well-known pianist has his own unique playing style, and he will have different unique insights on the same piano piece.

Playing a piano piece step by step and without missing a single note may be a proof of excellence, but it does not mean that this is the best performance.

Giving emotion to a piano piece is the best performance.

The audience who came to the scene specifically and watched the concert online on time and on time wanted to listen to not just a song, but his piano piece.

For today's performance, he prepared ten piano pieces.

Flight of the Bumblebee

Croatian Rhapsody

The Bells

The Mark of Rain

Anne's Wonderland

Adelina by the Water

Autumn Whispers

Dance of Flowers

Wedding in Dreams

Canon Variations

Except for The Bells, none of the ten piano pieces are absolutely complete and are not exactly the same as the originals, because he couldn't completely remember the songs he had heard in his previous life.

However, with the music theory knowledge of the master piano, the piano pieces he re-interpreted and filled with details are enough to show their charm.

He didn't expect to be better than his teacher, he just wanted to perform his own version with his own piano skills.

The moment he acquired permanent skills, he gained not only ability, but also the cultivation and self-esteem of a pianist.

The next moment, Kurosawa Hikaru raised his arms and suspended them above the piano keyboard, pressed his wrists down, and his ten fingers flew, starting the first piano piece of the solo concert, "Flight of the Bumblebee".

The fingering that was so fast that it brought a phantom attracted everyone's attention in just a moment, and their ears were deeply attracted by the dynamic beat that followed.

In an instant, the sound of the piano exploded.

Kurosawa Hikaru, who has a master-level piano, actually has the ability to appreciate any piano piece.

If someone asked him, "What kind of piano piece do you think "Flight of the Bumblebee" is?"

His evaluation is: "It is a beautiful and showy piano piece with a unique style."

Perhaps this piano piece is not the most difficult to play, but the advantage of this piano piece is that the faster the playing speed, the more exciting the rhythm of the flight of the bumblebee is.

Even laymen, even those who have never listened to piano music, even those who disdain piano music, an old antique instrument, will be attracted by it when they see someone playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" in front of them.

Because Flight of the Bumblebee is not like an ordinary piano music, with its ups and downs and twists and turns, it can burst out with climax power the moment the prelude sounds.

When Kurosawa Hikaru started his performance, the originally quiet concert hall was like a gust of wind, enough to sweep everything in.

"Does he really have only ten fingers?"

"His hand speed is so fast!"

The wave of piano sound swept everything, and people were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Zero's hand speed was too fast, so fast that it was jaw-dropping and incredible.

The cool and handsome gorgeous performance directly brought people into the world of music.

"How many times did he practice to be able to play the song so fast and without missing a beat like he does now?"

"So skilled that it makes people feel distressed."

Everyone has different preferences and ideas. Some are shocked by his fingering and playing, while others are impressed and moved by his skills.

In fact, the performance of Flight of the Bumblebee for the purpose of showing off skills can be as short as tens of seconds, and even a minute is considered long.

Because ten piano pieces are not enough to support a concert that lasts about 90 minutes, Kurosawa Hikaru also plays it casually during the performance. Without affecting the overall performance, he adds more changes and loops, and uses different scales to express the song.

In one minute, the audience was shocked and realized that the song was Flight of the Bumblebee, but it was played faster than on the YouTube platform.

In two minutes, the audience was accustomed to it. No matter how surprising it was, people would get used to it after a long time.

In three minutes, the audience couldn't believe it. Why didn't it stop?

In four minutes, the audience was numb. Wasn't he tired at all?

In five minutes, the audience had no other feelings except admiration.

Can the piano be played like this?

Watching the hands on the stage jumping to the point of leaving afterimages, and the arms flying horizontally but always gracefully, laymen and insiders were shocked.

When the piano sound disappeared, the performance at zero o'clock finally stopped.

After the song ended, the piano master performed "Flight of the Bumblebee" for five minutes with his showmanship. Even someone as physically fit as Kurosawa Hikaru felt numbness in his fingers and his breathing became heavier.

In order to perform Flight of the Bumblebee with his unique charm, he used all his strength.

"How is it?"

After taking a few breaths, Kurosawa Hikaru straightened his hunched back and looked at the audience, wanting to know how the audience reacted.

The lights were dim, and the audience, shrouded in darkness and shadows, was silent.

Screwed up? He wouldn't think so. He was absolutely calm and confident in his piano skills.

What he wanted to know was how enthusiastic the audience's reaction would be.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't see his expression or his eyes, but the action of looking up and turning his head made people understand.

"Pa pa pa!"

After a short silence, as the first person clapped, people gradually came back to their senses and followed closely.

"Pa pa pa pa!"

Instantly, the applause of more than 2,000 people resounded throughout the venue, as if to overturn everything.

"It's wonderful!"

"Wow!"

"Zero hour! Zero hour!"

This unprecedented, eye-opening and shocking performance made people excited and even more excited.

Everyone's reaction was different, some were shocked, some were excited, and some were shocked.

In fact, not all the audience here were fans.

There are also some people who paid a lot of money to buy tickets, ask people to get tickets, and try every means to satisfy their families and watch together.

But at this moment, they were also deeply impressed.

"This is too amazing..."

Ninomiya Chie was shocked and smacked her lips.

She has never been very interested in piano. She is too busy at work and has no time to listen to music.

As an investor, she is biased against the profession of artist.

She knows very well that no matter how glamorous the artist is on the surface, no matter how much fans and people like him, in front of capital, he is just like that.

And the disadvantage of this profession is very obvious, that is, privacy issues are difficult to guarantee, and private life will be affected.

But before this, she still changed her mind about Zero Hour.

It was not because she had seen those MVs, but because she found out that behind Zero Hour during her investigation of Zero Hour, there was a mysterious super-big man standing.

This big man has great power and can shake the six major mainstream media in Japan.

Zero Hour has a background and is not an ordinary artist.

As long as there is a backstage, everything will be easy... She insisted on meeting him, just to find out who the super big man behind Zero Hour is.

But now, she was impressed by the performance.

Unlike the feeling of watching on the Internet, the effect and ability of the live performance shocked her.

She felt very intuitively the talent contained in Zero Hour and his unique value.

At this moment, Ninomiya Chie suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look.

When she turned around, she saw Ninomiya Naoki sitting there with a serious expression. Although he did not applaud with everyone, his hands were clasped together on his thighs.

"Is he trying not to applaud?"

Seeing this scene, Ninomiya Chie, who had been sleeping in the same bed for decades, noticed something and couldn't help but feel funny.

This guy is really as stubborn as his daughter.

"What?"

Ninomiya Naoki saw her mouth corners raised, and suddenly felt angry and glared.

"Let's see his reaction when we play later."

Ninomiya Chie looked at him sideways, smiled and shook her head without saying anything, and didn't argue with him.

She wanted to see how long Naoki could endure.

"Why is this Flight of the Bumblebee different from what I've heard before?"

On the other side, Akizuki Aoi kept clapping, and she felt numb all over.

"This is the difference between recording and live performance. Live performance is not as simple as reading from a script. There is more room for play, it's more real and more exciting!"

Shiina Aoi was very excited. The feeling of live performance and online listening is different.

If the effect of the scene is the same as the video effect on the Internet, then why should everyone spend time, energy and money to go to the scene?

"This is too cool!"

Hinata liked "Flight of the Bumblebee" very much, and she felt extremely happy to see such a performance.

"It's worth it."

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru stood up and bowed to thank the fans in the packed audience.

Facing the applause, cheers and excitement, Kurosawa Hikaru's face behind the mask had already shown a smile.

Why did he stand here and choose to be an artist?

He didn't want to be an artist before, not because he looked down on this profession, nor because he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but because he felt that he might not have the talent in this area. Taking the entrance exam to Tokyo University was the best choice for him to achieve class leap and reach the peak of his life.

But that night, the dream of a full house and every piano piece that could draw thunderous applause, as well as the entry-level singing voice and entry-level piano given by the system, and the appearance of Igarashi Runa, the gold medal agent, made him find a reason.

Everyone has a dream of being a star, and he is no exception.

Everyone has fantasized about becoming famous, standing on the stage to perform, and receiving countless applause.

He enjoyed such moments very much. This feeling of being recognized and admired by everyone is an incomparable pleasure and enjoyment.

What is youth?

When you are happy in life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty.
