Chapter 415 The protagonist of the night

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the applause in the room and was very glad that he chose to be an artist instead of being complacent.

Everyone will face countless choices in life.

For example, where to go at the crossroads, what to eat for breakfast, these are not praiseworthy choices, but there are many more choices that are related to the direction of life.

As Zero Hour turned around again, the applause suddenly stopped.

Such actions seemed to indicate the continuation of the performance.

"I wonder what the second song will be... Will there be an improvisational performance for every piano piece tonight?"

Because of the surprise and shock that "Flight of the Bumblebee" brought to everyone, some people began to look forward to it.

The audience who can come to watch tonight are either fans who try every means and spend a lot of money to buy tickets from others, or they are fans who still stick to their faith in the face of an amount that is several times higher than the original price.

Perhaps it was a huge cost, but Master Zero Hour's performance made everyone feel that their trip was worthwhile.

"You just finished playing the intense Flight of the Bumblebee, don't you need a little more rest?"

People who know piano, including pianists, are immediately surprised when they see Zero hour sitting down again.

The "Flight of the Bumblebee" just now is wonderful and enjoyable, but anyone with a discerning eye can feel how demanding it is physically, mentally, and physically to be as good as Zero Hour.

It is no exaggeration to say that even a well-known pianist who has been immersed in piano for many years has a problem whether he can reproduce such a version with the same hand speed, let alone a five-minute ultra-high-intensity playing.

After playing this piece, I was afraid that my hands would become useless. As a result, I took a break at zero o'clock and then played the next piece, which made me sweat.

"Brother Guang, please rest for a while."

Because he had a super VIP ticket, he was separated from his friends. Sitting in the front row, Yuki Ichinose looked at the figure on the stage with admiration, but also heartbreak and worry.

She could tell that Brother Guang's performance was simply astonishing, and every audience member present had similar feelings.

But even if she was an outsider, she could feel that Brother Guang was definitely tired when he played a piano piece at such a dazzling speed.

No matter what the audience in the audience or the audience online thinks.

Kurosawa Hikaru sat in front of the piano again, with his hands open and stretching his fingers gently.

Seeing such a scene, the audience at the scene waited silently.

"Wow……"

In contrast, because of the different atmosphere, online viewers from all over the country, especially the girls who controlled it with their hands, were dumbfounded.

The skin is fair and clear, with no spots or traces. The fingers are long and slender with distinct joints. The nails are carefully trimmed and swaying gently in the air.

For girls who like hands, it is simply a dream that the hands are tugging at their heartstrings.

By stretching his fingers to quickly return to their natural state, Kurosawa's wrist dropped slightly and struck the keys.

“It’s Croatian Rhapsody!”

The moment the prelude sounded, Robert, who was sitting in the audience, felt his heart tremble and clenched his fists with excitement. His soul would be deeply attracted.

The prelude to the Croatian Rhapsody is really amazing and will shake the soul.

The quality of a piano piece is not determined by the difficulty of playing it, but by its melody, its beat, and its style.

This piece of music, as Zero Hour’s debut work, has already gone through the baptism and tempering of time.

A thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets.

Everyone has different feelings about this piece of music, but one thing is for sure, it sounds great.

Everyone was immersed in the world of music and enjoyed this visual and auditory feast.

On the stage, unlike the dazzling and gorgeous performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee", the performance of "Croatian Rhapsody" at odd hours can be described as elegant, calm and pleasing to the eye.

There is no shock or shock, just comfortable enjoyment, as if it is the stability and comfort after a roller coaster.

Unknowingly, the sound of the piano ended.

After playing this piece of music, Zero hour stood up again and faced the audience.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

The engaging piano music is enjoyable both physically and mentally, and all the audience applauds positively.

The applause was still loud, but not as loud as the flying bees, which seemed to overthrow everything.

Obviously, this performance was wonderful, but it was slightly lacking and failed to bring people's emotions to a more violent world.

"Are you exhausted?"

Ninomiya Naoki, who was sitting in the audience, was not very surprised when he saw this scene.

Maybe he doesn't understand music, but he understands so many things.

The concert started with a stunning piano piece like "Flight of the Bumblebee". After that, if he couldn't play even more amazing piano pieces, it would undoubtedly leave people feeling disappointed.

Before tonight, if someone asked him whether "Croatian Rhapsody" was stronger than "Flight of the Bumblebee", he would not be able to give an answer even after watching the videos of the two piano pieces.

He is not a professional piano connoisseur, so it is difficult for him to give a reasonable explanation.

But what is certain is that tonight's performance, "Flight of the Bumblebee" is definitely far more effective and exciting than "Croatian Rhapsody"

In short, he decided that "Flight of the Bumblebee" was a failure as a recital opening piece.

He couldn't imagine what kind of piano music Zero Hour had to play to surpass the shock of Flight of the Bumblebee.

"The audience's response is not positive enough."

At the same time, the organizers and co-organizers behind the scenes were all nervous when they saw this scene.

Applause is a behavior that easily reflects the audience's feelings.

The higher the proportion of emotional applause among the same number of people, the louder the sound will be.

The atmosphere backstage was a bit dull, not as good as the cheers and excitement just now.

"Will this performance be anticlimactic?"

Suddenly, someone expressed his concerns.

The most taboo thing in stage performances is anticlimactic.

If you can achieve a dragon head and a phoenix tail, it is naturally the best thing, but in most cases, it is better to have a boring beginning, and you must ensure that the end of the performance is the finale.

You know, stage performances are very particular about the atmosphere. If an audience leaves midway, even if it is just one person, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the leading actors on the stage.

As soon as this was said, it directly hit everyone's morale.

"That's not the case. "Adeline at the Water's Edge" can definitely bring the atmosphere of the concert back to its peak. This piano piece has extraordinary meaning."

The cultural director of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan who is in charge of the exhibition is a man in his fifties wearing glasses. He shook his head and comforted everyone.

After hearing this, some people behind the scenes wanted to speak, but they opened their mouths and dared not speak.

They naturally knew how good "Adeline at the Water's Edge" was. This piano piece, whether it was influence, meaning, or melody, was applauded.

However, they also knew that there were six piano pieces in the program tonight that they had never heard of.

No one knew what style those six piano pieces were, and they had not been tested and certified by the market.

"Ms. Igarashi, what do you think?"

The cultural director knew that everyone's silence did not mean peace of mind, so he could only look at Igarashi Runa on the side, hoping that she would say a few words.

As the agent of Zero Hour, Igarashi Runa knew Zero Hour better than anyone else.

At this time, the effect of her guaranteeing everyone was more convincing.

"Don't worry, the arrangement of the program is the result of careful consideration by Zero Hour. Next is "The Bell", and the effect will not be worse than "Flight of the Bumblebee."

Igarashi Runa turned around and looked at the staff behind the scenes after noticing the request for help from the cultural director.

"Yes."

"Master Zero Hour's "The Bell" is a masterpiece in the world."

As soon as this was said, everyone felt relieved and praised.

As the staff behind the scenes of Tokyo Cultural Center, they have a higher appreciation of piano music than ordinary audiences because of their eyes and ears.

That's why they once saw Master Zero Hour playing "The Bell". Even though it has been a long time, it still makes people's scalps numb when they think about it. They are impressed and overwhelmed.

After successfully calming everyone down, Igarashi Runa took his mobile phone and continued to watch the live broadcast footage and comments on the Internet.

Unlike the scene, the Internet is a place where people can speak freely. Their comments are more real and more lethal. We must control the situation well.

"The response is not that intense?"

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru on the stage naturally noticed that everyone's applause was not as enthusiastic as before, and thought secretly.

He knows piano, so he knows very well that even if his piano skills are superb or at the pinnacle, he can't play "Croatian Rhapsody" well.

Every piano piece has different characteristics.

Not all piano pieces can be played at a speed of more than ten notes per second like "Flight of the Bumblebee", and the effect can still be very good.

The vast majority of piano pieces must be played at a specific beat and speed to show their charm.

"After listening to "Flight of the Bumblebee", are you disappointed to hear "Croatian Rhapsody" which is not much different from the original?"

Perhaps knowing this, Kurosawa Hikaru did not get discouraged. After bowing and thanking the applause, he spoke.

All the audience shook their heads when they heard this question.

In fact, perhaps Croatian Rhapsody is not that shocking, but it is still very beautiful.

It's just that its beat is not that fierce, which makes people calm down a lot.

Unlike the staff behind the scenes, who will consider the overall situation, the audience's feelings are not that intense. After listening to it, everyone is still unsatisfied and waiting for the next piano piece to bring everyone what kind of surprise.

"It's so beautiful, how can I be disappointed."

Because it was a question, someone plucked up the courage to shout loudly.

"That's right!"

Some people broke the precedent, and many people echoed.

Fans are a group of people who are fanatical about something and worship a certain star, artist or thing.

That's why these fans didn't feel it was wrong at all. Instead, they were very happy to hear the live version of "Croatian Rhapsody".

"Thank you for your recognition. The next third piano piece is Liszt's "The Bells". I hope it will satisfy you."

Facing everyone's encouragement, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly and said.

"Is it the bell?"

"It's finally its turn!"

"Pah pah pah pah!"

After hearing these words, the fans were stunned, and then they looked at each other in surprise, and then they applauded and looked forward to it.

In an instant, the applause was thunderous, which was no less than the momentum after the performance of Flight of the Bumblebee.

Unlike Flight of the Bumblebee and Croatian Rhapsody, Liszt's The Bells only exists in the video of the finals of the Kawai Asian Piano Competition in Neon, so not all fans have heard it.

The most important thing is that everyone knows one thing, Master Zero Hour once relied on this "The Bells" to sweep away controversy, become a god in one battle, and even appeared in news magazines.

The importance of Zero Hour's "The Bells" in the eyes of fans is no less than that of "Adelina at the Water's Edge".

Facing such applause, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled gently behind his mask, and then walked to the piano and sat down.

However, he did not start playing immediately, but waited in a posture, waiting for the noise in the venue to completely subside.

When the audience's voices completely subsided, Kurosawa Hikaru played a new movement.

When his fingers danced, the beautiful and melodious piano sound echoed in the concert hall, taking everyone to another world.

In a distant place, under the dawn before dawn, the huge bell tower made a low sound, awakening the sleeping soul.

This bell tower, carrying history and years, seems to be a witness to the epic and a guide of time.

As the sun rose, with the sound of bells one after another, the bustle of noon brought hundreds of bells to ring, which was shocking.

As the sun set, when the gorgeous afterglow faded, the bells rang again, bringing endless bells.

"Boom!"

The door of a magnificent auditorium was pushed open, people were singing and dancing, gorgeous lights were overflowing, and heaven was in it.

The three-part design of "The Bell" was too brilliant. When the movement reached its climax, no one could resist his charm.

Everyone was suffocated and completely immersed in the world in front of them.

This grand singing and dancing event was wonderful and beautiful, attractive and fascinating.

When the bell rang, Kurosawa Hikaru finished playing.

This time, he did not look at the audience, but slightly raised his head, also immersed in that wonderful world.

The piano piece "The Bell" is so beautiful, with exquisite design, heart-tightening beats, fascinating melody, and the feeling when playing, all of which made him sink into it and unable to extricate himself.

The whole audience was silent, and everyone was immersed in the world of "The Bell".

"Wonderful."

Among the crowd, Ninomiya Naoki was the first to come back to his senses, and he let out a long breath, still wanting more.

What he could not even notice was that he held his breath unconsciously, listening attentively, not wanting to miss any moment.

At this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru also woke up from the aftertaste.

"Tick, tick, tick."

Kurosawa Hikaru stood up, faced the audience, and walked forward a few steps.

The footsteps were obvious, different from the silent sound when he appeared.

Such a sound awakened everyone.

"Wow!"

"Master Zero Hour, I love you!"

"Can you do it again?"

The next moment, the applause exploded, even louder than Flight of the Bumblebee. Not only that, people could not even contain their admiration and enthusiasm, cheering and shouting.

Whether the audience had heard "The Bell" before or had never heard "The Bell", they were all amazed by this piano piece.

Because this piano piece is a triple feast for vision, hearing, and soul.

Seeing the three piano pieces with passionate and shocking melodies, and the feelings they brought to everyone, Kurosawa Hikaru bowed with satisfaction.

In fact, he thought a lot about the arrangement and design of the playlist.

He originally thought about whether to disrupt the order of these three passionate piano pieces and insert them into the romantic piano pieces.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not appropriate, so he simply put these three pieces at the front to heat up the atmosphere on the scene.

Because emotions will gradually stabilize over time.

If he suddenly played the fast-paced "Flight of the Bumblebee" after playing a romantic piano piece, the completely different impact would naturally arouse the audience's response, but it would not be conducive to everyone entering the romantic and emotional realm.

"Great."

Ninomiya Chie couldn't help but applaud when she saw the calm and elegant posture of Lingshi, a figure that was sought after and admired by people.

The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and became happier and happier.

"This reaction is appropriate."

Sifengyuan Mirai, who was sitting in the audience, looked around and watched everyone's reactions, extremely fascinated and proud.

The man she liked was so excellent, and his skills were even more amazing.

"The next fourth piano piece is called "Mark of the Rain". It is not as passionate as the first three. I hope everyone will like it."

Accepting everyone's applause and cheers, Kurosawa Hikaru took advantage of the good atmosphere and announced.

"A new song?"

Hearing this, people found that it was a song they had never heard of before, and they were aware of it, but full of expectations.

After "Flight of the Bumblebee", everyone was able to appreciate the charm of the zero hour with the surprise of "The Bell".

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru did not need to rest for long before he started playing.

The fourth piano piece, "Mark of the Rain", has a soft melody, beautiful and moving, pure and peaceful.

Its style is soft and healing, which can calm people's hearts and minds. It is very suitable as the beginning of a romantic piano piece.

There is no intense performance, nor gorgeous fingering. When the piano sounded, the temperament of the moment changed.

"How could it be like this..."

"It's so beautiful."

Listening to its melody, the audience was moved, surprised, and immersed in it.

After the passionate and compact piano music, such a soft piano sound is like a rest stop on the journey, which makes people's hearts calm.

The fifth piano piece, "Annie's Wonderland", has a melodious rhythm, beautiful and pleasant, which can make people immersed in it, imagine and forget all troubles.

"What a beautiful music."

The beautiful melody seems to take the audience into a fairy tale world that is indifferent to the world.

The name of the piano piece is very important. No one knows who Anne is, but everyone can understand the meaning of wonderland.

These two piano pieces also received countless applause.

Most Japanese people have accumulated pressure in their hearts... These pressures come from life, compromise, regret, and fatigue.

That's right. Compared to the passionate melody that awakens the blood in their hearts, everyone enjoys this healing and beautiful music more.

"The next sixth piano piece, excuse me, is not dedicated to everyone, but to my Adeline."

Kurosawa Hikaru could feel that these two piano pieces healed the hearts and anger of the audience and returned to a harmonious state. He said after receiving the applause.

"?"

Hearing this, the audience was stunned.

The next moment, everyone realized something.

For a moment, even if the lights were dim, all the audience turned their heads and looked at the position in front of the center of the stage.

Because there are two protagonists in this concert tonight, one is Zero Hour and the other is Zero Hour's Adeline.

No need to say more, just relying on such words, everyone realized that the name of the sixth piano piece is "Adeline by the Water", which is popular all over the Internet and even famous overseas.
