On this day, Xue Jingyi received an invitation letter from Chopin International Piano competition. This is the grandest competition in the piano industry. It is divided into children's group, youth group and adult group. Admitted to Curtis Institute, the world's highest music school, and awarded a very generous scholarship.
Xue Zixuan won the youth group championship at the age of 12 and became the youngest student admitted by Curtis, so he became famous all over the world. He was known as the piano prince at that time, and now he has successfully crowned himself. When it comes to playing the piano, no player dares to claim that he can outperform him.
His superb skills and ample emotions have long conquered the world.
As his younger sister, Xue Jingyi received wide attention from the media and people in the community once she signed up. They had high hopes for her, and they were all wondering if she would be the next piano queen. Of course, some people are worried that Xue Jingyi's body may not be able to support the cruel game, so she is considering whether to send her a letter.
Xue Jingyi personally called the organizing committee and said that she could persist in the competition. In order to support her sister, Xue Zixuan took the initiative to sign a contract with the organizing committee and became an adult judge.
He is only 27 years old this year, but it is a bit ridiculous to evaluate the qualifications of a group of players who may be older than him. However, as soon as the news came out, no one disputed this. All the performers who submitted their applications to the organizing committee thought it was a great honor to have Xue Zixuan listen to their performances.
The Organizing Committee finally compromised and sent the invitation letter to Xue Jingyi. This tournament is held every five years, and each place is extremely precious. Naturally, they do not like absenteeism, which is particularly unfair to those who are not elected.
Xue Jingyi is so happy, this is the only good news she received when Huang Yi came to Xue's house. In the morning, after Huang Yi was picked up by Xue Yan, she pestered Xue Zixuan to practice piano with herself.
She opened the piano cover, smiling and stroking the black and white keys one by one, as if life was full of sunshine and hope.
"Brother, can you help me choose the music to play during the competition?" She came up with a few scores.
Xue Zixuan looked out the window and said nothing.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xue Jingyi shouted carefully.
Xue Zixuan came back to this, indifferent tone, "You pick out the best one to practice first, I will say it again and again."
"Okay." Xue Jing opened one of the music sheets on the music stand with joy, playing a cheerful dance music. She devoted all her energy, just to impress her brother with the sound of the piano, and if he could get his praise, it would be like getting the most precious gift in the world. She participated in the competition not only to get admission from Curtis Institute of Music, but also to attract her brother's attention, let him see his efforts and excellence, and thus love him a little more.
Brother, will you look at me? Please look at me! At the end, the cheerful dance music turned into a sorrow of despair, Xue Jingyi pressed his hands against the keys severely, and a tear fell down his eyes. She ruined the dance song. If she used to, the older brother would have come to sternly reprimand, but at the moment, he didn't even listen to a note, standing by the window and looking into the distance, the back seemed so lonely.
She knew he was waiting for Huang Yi. For more than ten hours when Huang Yi left, he could keep this posture until sunset. She really wanted to walk over and hug him, tell him aloud how much she loved him, and ask him to give her a little attention. All these frantic and eager thoughts disappeared into smoke when he saw his cold inorganic eyes.
Repeatedly pressing the keys with both hands creates a harsh noise, but did not let the man look back. Xue Jingyi gave up suddenly, wiped away the tears, and asked softly, "Brother, how do I play?" ? "
Xue Zixuan didn't reply, "Continue." He wasn't listening at all, so he would not comment.
Xue Jingyi almost couldn't help laughing. Is this still her brother? If it had been before, he had thrown her out. Now, only Huang Yi can be seen in his eyes, only Huang Yi can be heard in his ears, and only the little bit related to Huang Yi can be thought in his heart.
In his opinion, everyone except Huang Yi may be a mass of air.
Xue Jing stroked the stinging heart, opened the next sheet of music, and played to the second measure. Xue Zixuan suddenly turned to open the door, and hurriedly ran downstairs. Xue Jingyi's eyes changed slightly, and she seemed to think of something hidden behind the curtains and looked into the garden, but she saw Xue Yan's car coming from the tree-lined path not far away.
Huang Yi is back.
Xue Jingyi watched his brother pull him behind to protect him with jealousy, and watched Xue Yan lean out his head and explain something carefully. The two men stared at each other, their eyes filled with burning hostility.
However, Huang Yi only used Qingyue's voice to say "Goodbye to my uncle," and the two's unsightly complexions instantly became happy. Obviously, their understanding of this sentence is very different, but their affection for Huang Yi is so profound. He doesn't need to do anything earth-shattering. Just raise his eyes and smile or open his mouth to please them.
Clearly twins, God has given him a healthy body, a beautiful smile, and extraordinary talents, and he can't have anything but a sore heart. It's not fair!
When thinking about this, Xue Jingyi apparently forgot how she had lived a luxurious and comfortable life for 16 years, and forgotten the sufferings of her true loved ones.
When she packed up and sat back in front of the piano full of jealousy, the door opened, Xue Zixuan led the teenager into the room, her cold and indifferent face now shrouded with a warm smile.
"You just said that I would help you pick the song, which ones do you like?"
"It's all here." Xue Jingyi handed over a sheet of music, bitter in his heart. It turned out that he hadn't heard any of the songs he had said before. Although she had known for a long time, she still felt very sad to see such a very different attitude.
Zhou Yunsheng glanced over for a few moments. Xue Zixuan noticed his approach, took a look at him, took him into his arms, and put the score on his knee for easy reading. Xue Yan's departure made him feel good, and if possible, he hoped that he would never return.
"Xiao Yi, why are you back?" Xue Jingyi tried not to look at the two people who were dependent on each other.
"Uncle has something to deal with, maybe he doesn't come to the stadium for a month or two." Zhou Yunsheng blinked innocently. In fact, it wasn't Xue Yan who was in trouble, but he thought that today was the day when Xue Jingyi received the invitation letter, and rushed back, and signed a lot of unequal treaties.
Xue Jingyi also received an invitation today, and the system immediately issued a task to destroy him. But the child of destiny is the child of destiny. No matter how hard Xue Jingyi is hit, he can quickly cheer up and become more brave. He remembered that she injured her finger during the finals, but she completed the difficult performance and won the championship with amazing perseverance.
On that day, Xue Zixuan really regarded her as an excellent woman, not her sister.
In this life, he will not use the mentally handicapped methods promulgated by the system to frame Xue Jingyi. He has a more interesting plan.
"Jingyi, I heard that you received an invitation letter from Chopin International Piano competition? Congratulations." Zhou Yunsheng said with a smile.
"Thank you." Xue Jingyi nodded politely, and he secretly hated why Xue Yan didn't take him away when he left.
"You can accompany Jingyi practice for a while. She also has a lot of existence in her skills. You can help her correct or make a correct demonstration." Xue Zixuan gently rubbed the juvenile soft hair, her eyes lost and she recovered. Joy.
Xue Jingyi's face was gloomy for a moment. Although the teenager has just begun to learn the piano, already far surpassed her in the heyday in terms of skills and expressiveness. It is not an exaggeration to say a correction. However, she still felt that her self-esteem was hurt, and she smiled and agreed, but she had the idea of struggling in her heart.
She is just sick for a long time and neglecting to practice. She must be able to catch up with the teenager and even catch up with her for a month. Thinking about it this way, she played particularly hard when she played, and paid special attention to Xue Zixuan's opinions.
The teenager no longer leaves himself, but quietly embraces his tablet computer beside him. Occasionally he sleeps and sleeps on his lap, which makes Xue Zixuan often smile. He quickly recovered his condition and became that pianist who was very demanding on music. Once Xue Jingyi played a wrong note, he would urge her to stop and start again.
Whenever this time, Zhou Yunsheng would look up and smile at Xue Jingyi Can. He knew that Xue Jingyi, who was blackened by already, would regard this soothing smile as ridicule and contempt, which would completely disturb her mind.
Sure enough, Xue Jingyi is more nervous every day, and her performance is getting more and more abnormal. Especially, in order to guide her after her mistake, Xue Zixuan will let Zhou Yunsheng play again.
The boy's perfect performance is like an insurmountable gap, so Xue Jingyi clearly realized that no matter how hard he tried, he didn't catch up with him one day. She insisted on not showing a cowardly look in front of her brother, but she knew that her already was on the verge of collapse, and with a slight push of someone, her self-confidence would completely collapse.
It was fun for her to stay in the piano room, but now she is suffering.
Zhou Yunsheng saw her face bewildered, her eyes were dim, she knew that already was almost ready. These days, he deliberately crushed her with piano skills, so that Correct defeated her self-confidence, forced her to go further and further on the road of blackening, and fell into madness. For those who have been in desperation for a long time, soberness and madness are only on the front line.
The two walked side by side toward the piano room, talking and laughing about Yan Yan, but they both had their own thoughts.
Xue Zixuan took out a sheet music and handed it over, with a harsh tone, "According to your level in these days, the first round of preliminaries will be eliminated. This is the song I selected for you. You can concentrate on practicing them, maybe Can guarantee you to enter the final. "
Xue Jingyi took a quick look after he took it, his face turned pale. This sheet music contains only five pieces of music. It is recognized as the most difficult piano song in the world. It is also known as "Superb Etude". From the word "Superb", you can know how superb they must be. skill.
The world's top performers dare not boast of being able to play five songs in their entirety. In fact, successfully completing two or three of them is enough to make them proud.
Xue Zixuan Correct is the only person in the world who can play these five tracks in full. The standard he set for Xue Jingyi was so high that she felt heavy pressure at once.
Xue Jingyi shook her fingertips as she opened the score.
The first song is the least difficult, but at a glance at its name, Xue Jingyi's mind is blank. "Hellfire" is a piano song that uses the most two-tone technology. There are up to 120 double-tones in a measure, including sixty or seventy double-tremolos. Once the fingers are too tight during playing, also Or the two notes are unevenly stressed, and the song is ruined.
Some pianists have once joked that people who can play "Hell's Fire" perfectly should have more control over their hands than robots.
Xue Jingyi breathes deeply and tries to relax his fingertips. You can do it, you can! She kept comforting herself, but only after playing the second line, an error occurred, and a double tone broke, making the melody suddenly sharp.
"Stop the heavy bomb." Xue Zixuan snapped sharply, seeing that the teenager who was playing with the computer opened his eyes slickly, and seemed to be frightened. He quickly walked over and gently stroked his hair.
The boy chuckled and fiddled with the computer again. Xue Zixuan then said in a slowed tone, "Replaying again, not only the fingertips need to be completely relaxed, but also the wrist."
Xue Jingyi nodded in agreement, but his hands were stiffer. She continued arrogantly, and when she played to the end of the first measure, she was frightened by the dozen or so double notes that appeared in succession. Her fingertips cluttered on the keys, and the original melody became unacceptable noise.
"Stop! What the **** is wrong with you? I remember your level is more than that. Let it go, I will show you." Xue Zixuan frowned.
Xue Jingyi quickly gave way, and looked at him uneasily.
Zhou Yunsheng put down his computer and lay on the edge of the piano with his eyes open. "Brother, this piece is very interesting, can I play it again?"
Xue Zixuan's cold face melted instantly, and said warmly, "Come and try."
Zhou Yunsheng sat in front of the piano, flipped through the score, remembered it in his heart, and then got rid of the free playing of the score. The tune originates from a nightmare of the composer. He dreamed that he had fallen into hell, where blue flames and terrible demons were everywhere. The flames burned him, the demon chased him, he fled in fright, and then woke up with a kick, only to find that everything was just a dream.
So he laughed while sweating.
So the first three bars of this song are full of dazzling double tones and double vibrato, which create the atmosphere of horror, gloom and madness, but the last bar is full of relief and joy, making the audience Get rid of the feeling of horror before. Huge emotional gaps and very different styles are the highlights of this song, and the continuous double-tones make this song extremely difficult.
Zhou Yunsheng's slender fingertips slid over the keys, sharply and precisely pressing the next note. When he finished playing, Xue Jingyi touched his arm unconsciously, and found a layer of goose bumps on it.
His performance is perfect, and his superb skills can almost match those of musicians who have been famous for many years.
Xue Zixuan stood by the piano and stared at the teenager with an almost obsessed look. When he finished playing, he pressed his frantic heartbeat, and praised in silence, "Perfectly, I have nothing to teach you about already."
Zhou Yunsheng smiled.
already has nothing to teach? Even the king of the piano said such things, it can be seen that the young boy's playing skills already has reached a level that is difficult for others to reach. Xue Jingyi's sore heart was corroded by blood holes called jealous venom. Seeing her brother beckoning at herself, she stepped back two steps reflexively.
"Jingyi, did you see it before? Come over and play it again, remember to relax."
"Okay." Xue Jingyi looked down at the piano, and a faint blue flame burst out of the gap between the keys, whistling towards her. She quickly leaned back to avoid the tongue of fire and almost fell over.
Zhou Yunsheng's eyes quickly drew a hand and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you?"
"No, nothing." Xue Jingyi took a closer look. There was no flame on the keys. She was too nervous and had hallucinations. She slowly put her finger up, but her fingertips were as painful as if burned. It was clear that she could play a beautiful melody with just one touch, but now she didn't have the strength to move a finger. The young man played "Hellfire" so perfectly for the first time, and how could she climb from the foot of this unattainable peak to the top, or even surpass it in the air?
Don't say she can't do it now, even in the heyday, she can't do it too. Just by pressing a few lines of notes, she lost, losing confidence and pride, and losing her brother's attention.
How she wanted her brother to stare at herself with the same obsessive eyes, but she knew that she could never defeat the teenager.
Suddenly lying on the piano, she screamed in pain, her elbows and chest pressed against the keys, making a harsh buzzing. Xue Zixuan's complexion changed. She immediately picked her up and sent her to the bedroom. The housekeeper heard the news and prepared the medicine and medical equipment while calling the doctor.
Xue Jingyi is really sick or pretended, Zhou Yunsheng is not interested to know. He only knew her pride and confidence that already was completely crushed by him. In this way, the game can continue.
------------------------
Xue Jingyi is pretending. She doesn't want to be ugly in front of her brother, so Huang Yi is better.
Maybe it ’s because she suffered too many blows. After waking up from a coma alone that day, she found that her mental capacity has increased a lot. The picture that always made her heart hurt, now already can act as Don't care about the face.
The next morning, she quietly came to the piano room and sat in front of the piano in a daze. It was more than half an hour before she put her hands on the keys and tried to play the simplest dance song, but the familiar melody did not appear. Instead, it was a messy, meaningless note.
The score is clearly imprinted in the mind, and it can appear as soon as the eyes are closed. In reality, she cannot express them with the keys. She seemed to have lost her ability to play.
Xue Jingyi was flustered, and changed a song to continue trying. But the more eager she was, the more she didn't listen to her fingers, and there was a little regular sound of the piano, and then it was completely messed up, creaking like an old stairs about to collapse.
Where is music? It ’s tortured noise. If my brother hears it, he will close the piano cover firmly and crush his hands. Xue Jingyi finally stopped, staring at the trembling hands in a daze.
She knew that within a short time, she was afraid that she would not be able to touch the piano again, because when she was sitting in front of the piano, she felt not expectation and joy, but fear and anxiety. Huang Yi's outstanding performance induced this mentality, and then made it more serious day by day. It was not until yesterday that it suffered a crushing blow.
Xue Jingyi closed the piano cover gently and returned to the bedroom. Soundproof cotton was laid in the piano room. She didn't wake anyone up, so now she has time to think quietly. She turned on the computer and carefully browsed the relevant information about heart replacement surgery. For more than a month, Correct relied on the information to make herself survived another blow.
A report jumped out and stayed in her sight for a long time. A young man had a heart transplant, and after recovering, he found that he had a lot of inexplicable memories and even more abilities than before. This made a huge difference in his life. Experts analyze: The human heart can also store memories, which can enable heart transplanters to obtain certain skills of the original owner. Some primitive tribes in Africa have the custom of devouring the hearts of their enemies to gain strength.
Xue Jingyi stared at this report with a gloomy gaze. After a long time she pursed her lips and smiled. If Huang Yi's heart is transplanted, can she also get his extraordinary musical talent? How do you know without trying?
What is he, a container that stores his heart for himself, and a poor worm that lives in his own shadow, why can he make himself afraid?
She laughed more and more ruthlessly, and saw the invitation on the table, and made a decision.
Since she has lost the ability to play in a short time, let Huang Yi participate in the game instead of her. What she values is not the generous bonus, but the opportunity to study at Curtis Institute of Music. With her ability, it will take at least several years of hard work to pass the exam, and Huang Yi can easily do it.
He's going to die anyway, just use it thoroughly. After getting his heart and talent, no one will find that the person who participated in the game was not her.
Thinking this way, she shut down the computer calmly and rang the emergency button.
--------------------------
Xue's family was gazing around the bed, especially Xue Li Dani, eyes were red. Xue Jingyi took her hand and said weakly, "Mom, will I die?"
"What nonsense, you will be fine, we already think of a way. Husband, do you mean?"
"Yes, as long as you quickly raise your body, we can immediately perform surgery for you." The implication is that the heart already is ready for you.
Xue Jingyi smiled with a pout and looked at Xue Zixuan with a blue face. He tempted, "Brother, do you think I can get better?"
Xue Zixuan didn't say good or bad, stood up and walked out, without looking back, "You pay attention to rest."
He finally realized that his sister's survival was based on the death of the teenager, which choked his painful desire. Now he can't face Xue Jingyi's existence at all. She is a defective product, but she has to make up for her deficiency by killing genius. This is a crime!
