Chapter 417 The best piano recital in history

In the first half of the concert, the performance of ten piano pieces impressed everyone.

Twitter, youtobe, Line groups, and major social platforms were extremely lively and noisy.

In fact, if Lingshi played two more piano pieces similar to "Croatian Rhapsody" in tonight's performance than in his previous performances, he would definitely satisfy the audience.

If he played four more piano pieces, he would win applause and cheers.

But if he played six more piano pieces, he would win everything.

Applause, cheers, worship, praise and praise are all natural.

What's more terrifying is that there is nothing wrong with the ten piano pieces played by Lingshi tonight.

The show-off "Flight of the Bumblebee" ignited the whole audience

The prelude was beautiful and dynamic "Croatian Rhapsody"

The classic work, the pinnacle of "The Bell"

The delicate and gentle "Mark of the Rain"

The dreamy fairy tale, "Anne's Wonderland" that makes people feel like they are in a fairyland

The love letter of the new century "Adeelina by the Water"

The best piano piece in autumn "Autumn Whispers"

The ethereal, natural, romantic and passionate "Dance of Flowers"

The beautiful dream, the broken dream, the worry-ridden "Wedding in the Dream"

The master certified, the best melody in the world "Canon Variations"

Obviously, all of them are amazing, but why are there still quarrels? This is because of the collision of preferences and thoughts.

"This is definitely the best piano recital in history. I dare not say that there will be no successor, because the Master of Zero Hour is like the embodiment of miracles, and he may bring me more surprises."

"Every song is so beautiful...especially the "Canon Variations", which touches my heart."

"No one knows what I have been going through during this period of time. This concert tonight brought me salvation."

"Although the "Canon Variations" is very nice, I still think "Adeline at the Waterside" is better."

"The "Wedding in the Dream" is the best!! The Master of Zero Hour played my dream...Hasegawa Haruna, I once dreamed of "I'll spend my wedding with you."

"The Bells is the best. The epic feeling is not comparable to romantic piano music and pop piano music!"

"Zero Hour Master is so handsome! !"

"Adeline is so beautiful! !"

"Adeline is Adeline... Who is Anne?"

"Flight of the Bumblebee is the best!"

"Is the piano so beautiful?"

"May I ask, how long is the intermission of a piano recital?"

"Usually about 10 minutes, no more than 15 minutes."

There are so many viewers and fans watching this live broadcast, and even many passers-by who are addicted to electronic music and rock music are attracted.

Tonight's music feast is so lively and the momentum is even greater.

Not only the names of Japanese people, but also the audiences from various countries overseas.

Because YouTube spent a huge amount of money to buy the broadcasting rights of this performance, it promoted it crazily before the performance began.

"Stop dating, come and watch the show."

"Are you booking a room? Then bring your woman to watch it."

Even more, those who watched the live broadcast were completely fascinated and began to recommend it to people around them.

"The number of people watching the live broadcast on YouTube has exceeded three million!!"

As the discussion during the intermission intensified, someone suddenly shouted backstage at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.

"Three million?"

Hearing this number, Igarashi Runa, who was communicating with Kurosawa Hikaru about how to arrange the second half of the performance, immediately looked back.

"Three million!"

The staff holding the mobile phone nodded heavily.

As soon as this was said, everyone present showed uncontrollable excitement and excitement on their faces.

Perhaps as behind-the-scenes staff, their existence is not well-known, even unknown in the industry.

But practitioners often know more than outsiders.

The highest record of the most live broadcast of classical music concerts on YouTube is 2.8 million.

This is not a premiere record, but a live broadcast record, but it is still a new height that is difficult to surpass.

But now, the first piano recital at midnight directly broke the record for many years... The meaning of such a result is exciting.

Obviously, this concert has become the most watched concert in history.

"This is too much..."

Faced with such a result, even Igarashi Runa was shocked.

You know, it's halftime now. Logically speaking, no matter what kind of live broadcast, the number of people will decrease during the halftime, but now it is rising unconventionally.

YouTube is different from TV broadcasts. It can't be calculated by ratings. The algorithm of ratings is quite complicated. Ordinary people don't even know what that number means.

In contrast, what three million live viewers mean is an extremely intuitive number.

Perhaps the number of three million people is a small number compared to the global population.

But in fact, the power represented by this number is extremely terrifying.

"Three million..."

Kurosawa Hikaru, who was still wearing a mask, was a little surprised when he heard this number.

You know, there are only more than 2,000 spectators at the scene, which is already a dense crowd.

Even before entering, a large number of fans gathered in Ueno Park, which was a huge crowd...the number was only about 7,000.

Three million...this is not Japanese yen, but a real number of people.

Is this the power of music? I don’t know how many times more people follow the archery competition.

"There are so many people, what about the second half of the performance?"

At the same time, Igarashi Runa came back to her senses and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Even though she has rich experience as a gold medal agent, she has never experienced such a big scene.

"According to the plan just now, we will play it again according to the program list, and then interact with the audience to choose songs."

Kurosawa Hikaru may also be shocked, but he still maintains his composure.

"But in such a short period of time, if the repetitive song list is played again, will any audience feel tired of hearing it?"

Igarashi Runa was discussing this matter with him just now, but considering the number of people on the live broadcast, she was worried.

Repeated performances, no matter how exciting they are, will still feel boring after the novelty wears off.

Just like many popular and super good songs, fans will get tired of them after listening to them a few times.

The phenomenon of liking the new and hating the old is very serious in the entertainment industry.

"That's impossible."

Concerned about this, Kurosawa shook his head.

"Is it impossible?"

Igarashi Runa felt puzzled when she heard his decisive tone.

"The ten piano pieces on the repertoire are all piano pieces that you can never tire of listening to."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and explained.

The ten piano pieces he selected are all enduring and popular for many years.

It is no exaggeration to say that each of these piano songs, taken individually, has the charm that makes people play the song for many days.

These songs are unsurpassed masterpieces. Under his proficient piano playing, they are even more beautiful. It is impossible for the audience to get tired of listening to them just by listening to them twice in a short period of time.

"you're right."

After hearing this, Igarashi Runa thought about the audio-visual feast just now, and immediately calmed down.

Perhaps the number of live broadcasts of three million people is indeed exaggerated... Maybe there are so many viewers because the ten piano pieces played in Zero Hour are so amazing.

Those ten piano songs, no matter which one they are, are good songs that she can listen to for several days without getting tired of them.

"How long until the show starts?"

After calming her nerves, Kurosawa asked again.

"8 minutes."

Igarashi Runa raised her left hand and glanced at her watch.

"I want to drink water."

Realizing that there was still plenty of time, Kurosawa Hikaru also said.

In fact, playing the piano is a physical job, and this is true for all kinds of musical instruments.

Many pianists can break out into a sweat just by playing a piece of piano music.

Because in the process of playing, you not only need to perfectly control your hands, feet and limbs, but also have a high level of concentration.

Even though he was very strong, playing ten consecutive piano pieces still made him sweat a lot, and he had to rehydrate for the second half.

Moreover, except for "The Bell" and "Flight of the Bumblebee", each of these ten piano pieces seems to be relaxed, but actually has a part that shows off one's skills.

In order to provide a better audio-visual experience, he also modified and filled in some appropriate parts based on his personal understanding of master-level piano, and added many virtuoso passages.

"Okay, come with me."

Igarashi Runa nodded and immediately led him around to the lounge.

Although this is the backstage and all are colleagues, Zero Hour's true identity can be kept as long as possible.

Seeing their departure, everyone couldn't help but start talking as the rightful owner left.

"Teacher Zero Hour is so amazing..."

"Three million live broadcast viewers, yet still able to be so calm in the face of such a big scene... This is the difference between the master and us."

"Honestly, it feels so stressful to be with Teacher Zero."

"Yes, Teacher Zero hour wears a mask so that you can't see his expression. It's fine when he's talking, but when he's not talking, the feeling of oppression is really strong."

"And he's very tall."

"I have a feeling that Master Zero Hour should look very handsome under the mask."

"I also think that Miss Adelina is so beautiful, and Zero Hour Master is definitely not bad."

Everyone seemed relieved, but more importantly, they were excited, feeling like they were participating in the ceremony and enjoying it.

The Internet was very lively, and the atmosphere in the large concert hall was even more heated.

"Master Zero Hour is really talented."

"Miss Qianhui, your daughter is very good at choosing men."

"Mr. Naoki, can you get an autograph for me later? My daughter wants it."

Sitting with Ninomiya's parents, the president originally accompanied his daughter to the show, but after the first half of the performance, they all turned into fans.

"Okay, I'll get one for you after the show."

Ninomiya Chie, who was surrounded by people, heard this and immediately agreed.

"??"

When Ninomiya Naoki heard this, he looked sideways on the spot.

He didn't even say anything. Why did his wife agree to it?

"Mr. Naoki, is it difficult for you to ask your son-in-law for an autograph?

Realizing that his expression was strange, the president who wanted his daughter's autograph asked immediately.

"How come? It's very easy."

Ninomiya Naoki choked when he heard this and shook his head.

"If it's easy, Mr. Naoki, I also want an autograph, is that okay?"

After hearing this, the dignitaries on the side also spoke.

"Can."

Ninomiya Naoki looked at him, and after hesitation, he agreed.

"Mr. Naoki, since everyone wants it, if I don't want it, it will seem like the Zero Hour Master is not charming enough."

"I want too."

In an instant, everyone was following closely.

Although Ninomiya Naoki resisted the small request from his partner, he could only agree.

In fact, except for children, everyone sitting here is a human being.

Some words don't need to be spoken, but just by looking at the eyes, expressions, and body movements, you can probably feel whether a person's thoughts are good or bad.

They could see that the relationship between Ninomiya Naoki and his son-in-law didn't seem to be very good.

That's why, out of their admiration and affection for Master Zero Hour, they didn't mind helping.

What's more, this is not a matter of harming others but benefiting oneself. While helping Master Zero Hour, they can also get signatures, which is a win-win situation.

"It depends on what you do."

Ninomiya Chie looked sideways at her husband beside her and snickered secretly.

After this performance, her attitude towards Zero Hour has completely changed anyway.

Maybe the profession of artist is indeed not good, but zero hours is zero hours, which is not the same concept as ordinary artists at all.

What's more, she has a feeling that Zero Hour will definitely be a musician and artist recorded in history in the future, and that will be a priceless treasure.

"..."

After Ninomiya Naoki agreed repeatedly, he saw his wife snickering and glared at her with resentment.

If she hadn't answered first, he could have pushed the signature away.

At the same time, there were lively discussions everywhere in the large concert hall. Even if they didn't know each other before, now they are talking to each other when they sit together.

Maybe they can use their mobile phones to discuss with everyone on the Internet, but in comparison, it is more interesting to have companions at the scene.

"Which one do you think is the best?"

Sifengyuan is also having a conversation with the maid in the future.

"Autumn Whispers."

Faced with her question, Sayaka Akai gave an answer after thinking about it.

As a professional maid, her top priority is not her personal feelings at any time, but the feelings of her master.

She could feel that the eldest lady liked the piano music "Autumn Whispers" more than anything else.

"There's no point in lying. Tell the truth."

After hearing this answer, Sifengyuan Future was not very satisfied.

"Canon Variations."

Faced with her doubts, Sayaka Akai hesitated and then said.

Each of these ten piano pieces can be called the sound of nature, but when it comes to the most beautiful ones, she agrees with Zero Hour's evaluation.

When she heard "Canon Variations" just now, she was completely obsessed with it and forgot all her troubles and constraints.

On the other side, Yuki Ichinose was separated from everyone because she was sitting in the super VIP seat, so she could only communicate with everyone in the group chat through her mobile phone.

Yuki: "Which one do you like best?"

Maybe everyone else is sitting together and can freely exchange their thoughts, but everyone in the Spice Girls group attaches great importance to her, and they all pick up their mobile phones to communicate with her.

Aoi: "Even if Canon sounds good, I still choose Adelina by the Water!"

Hitomi: "Annie's Wonderland, I really like that tone."

Blue Blue Beautiful Girl: "Canon Variations...Zero Hour Master is right, this is the best music!"

Yamamoto: "I finally understand why you worship Zero Hour so much."

Hinata: "Kurosawa didn't come to the show tonight. It will definitely be the decision he regrets the most in his life."

Sato: "Don't be sarcastic, Kurosawa gave us six tickets... I'm afraid he really isn't interested in the piano, and he's also busy with his thesis."

Hinata: "This is not a sarcastic comment, I just feel sorry for him. Even if Kurosawa doesn't like piano, he will definitely like it after seeing Master Zero Hour's performance, just like Yamamoto."

Music is the language of people's emotions. No one dislikes music, but they just haven't met the music they like yet.

As for Miki Baiyu, although he came alone, he was not lonely.

She was holding her mobile phone and chatting with her friends via Line.

Miki: "Bai Yu, have you watched Master Zero Hour's live broadcast? It's so good, my boyfriend even cried."

"I didn't watch the live broadcast."

Miki Baiyu thought for a while and replied.

"If you don't watch the live broadcast, what are you doing? Are you still at the skating rink?"

"No, I'm at the scene."

Miki Baiyu looked around and told the truth.

"on site?"

"real or fake?"

"Are you there? Did you buy a ticket?"

"I didn't buy a ticket, someone gave it to me."

Seeing her shock that could be felt through the words, Miki Baiyu slightly raised the corners of his mouth and responded.

"Someone gave it to you? Who is so kind?"

"Could it be a ticket given to you by a man? Don't you never accept gifts from others?"

"who is it?"

"who is it???"

"It's a secret, I'll tell you later."

Miki Shiraha thought about it and chose to conceal it in the face of her concern.

You know, Senior Kurosawa is a famous person. Even if you put aside the identity of Zero Hour, the name of Kurosawa Hikaru alone is also a well-known campus celebrity in various universities in Tokyo.

After all, not long ago, Senior Kurosawa's performance in the archery competition amazed countless people.

Perhaps archery is not as eye-catching as piano, but as a college student, Senior Kurosawa's appearance and handsomeness have fascinated countless people.

While everyone was moving, some people took the time to go to the bathroom and prepare to watch the second half.

Not long after, the lights in the concert hall dimmed a little, and this signal was captured by everyone.

After noticing this, those who left the venue to go to the bathroom quickly quickened their pace and returned to their seats.

"The second half is coming!"

"I don't know what music will be played in the second half. I really want to listen to "Canon Variations" again."

As for those who had already solved it or didn't need to go to the bathroom at all, they all began to look forward to it.

Another two minutes passed, until the audience had almost returned to their seats.

The bright concert hall fell into complete darkness again.

At the same time, the spotlights lit up from the darkness. Unlike the silent appearance in the first half, Lingshi appeared directly on the side stage of the performance area this time.

Seeing his reappearance, he was immediately greeted with overwhelming applause.

After the performance in the first half, the audience in the audience were all impressed by his talent.

On the YouTube live broadcast channel, the audience who were recommended by friends during the intermission saw Lingshi's appearance and felt novel, and expressed their feelings in the comment area.

"Is this Lingshi?"

"Why is he wearing a mask?"

"He's so weird."

When Lingshi introduced his arrangement, he decided to play the songs in the first half again because of insufficient repertoire reserves, which attracted a lot of doubts.

"Why do you have to hold a concert if you don't have enough repertoire reserves?"

"Play it again, it feels so perfunctory."

However, even if there were strange voices, when Lingshi sat at the piano and played "Flight of the Bumblebee" again, such comments quickly disappeared.

"Is this still a human?"

"Isn't his hand speed too fast?"

"I suspect he has eight hands."

The audience who watched Zero Hour's performance for the first time were shocked.

Even if it was not the first time for the audience to watch the performance, they would still be deeply shocked when they saw Flight of the Bumblebee again.

The second half of the performance began, and Zero Hour played again according to the repertoire of the first half.

Because of the experience, the audience listened to the same repertoire in the second half, and still had a refreshing new experience.

With the arrival of 10 pm, the 120-minute performance finally ended.

"Thank you for watching tonight's performance."

At the end of the performance, Kurosawa Hikaru stood on the stage and bowed to the applause that he had heard countless times.

There were more than 2,000 audiences in the audience. Among them, he didn't know many people, and even fewer people could be called by name.

However, no matter what their identity, age, or gender, the audience in the audience were the same. They were all supporters who came to the scene to watch his performance.

Unlike the Kyudo Tournament, he only wanted to get the recognition of Shifengyuan Shinryu alone.

Before the performance, he really wanted to get the recognition of all the audience.

Because everyone's recognition would benefit him a lot.

Whether it was Miss Runa's career, the rise of the agency, or pulling Chizuru out of the quagmire of the bank.

"We are the ones who want to say thank you."

"Master Lingshi, tonight's performance was great, thank you!"

"Master Lingshi, I love you!!"

The audience who were still applauding were immediately moved by Master Lingshi's kind and sincere attitude, and they all spoke up.

"It's very late this time, please be careful on your way home, see you next time."

The crowd was enthusiastic, and Kurosawa Hikaru stood on the stage and waved goodbye to everyone.

"See you next time!"

The time of parting will always come. After enjoying a night of music feast, the audience was extremely satisfied and waved goodbye to him.

After bidding farewell to the stage, Kurosawa Hikaru returned to the backstage.

"It ended perfectly!"

The staff couldn't help cheering when they saw Lingshi's return.

"It's not over yet. Wait until the audience leaves safely. Don't relax."

The cultural director didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, but as a co-organizer, he had to speak.

"Yes."

Everyone took this instruction seriously.

"It's not over yet?"

Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but think.

Everyone's work is not over yet, and so is he.

The performance is over, but there is still a difficult test waiting for him.

Next, he will meet with Ninomiya Chizuru's parents.
