Xue Jingyi deliberately refrains from taking medicine, which quickly deteriorates her physical condition, but this is only an appearance. Once she has achieved her goal, she will try her best to maintain her best condition so that she can withstand the risks of heart transplant surgery. Before that, she had to return everything Huang Yi owed her.
She asked Xue Li Danni to ask Huang Yi to take part in the game instead of herself. Xue Li Danni was undoubtedly the one who loved her most. She agreed to it if she didn't want to, and told Xue Rui about it. Xue Rui decided to send several bodyguards to follow Huang Yi at all times, lest he reveal his identity during the game.
Xue Jingyi also asked the housekeeper to call Huang Yi and put on a dying look, saying that he wanted more people to remember himself, but wanted to stand on that stage but he was powerless. He wanted to be more or less in this world. Leaving traces of once living. This is her last wish, hoping that her brother can help her accomplish it.
Zhou Yunsheng sneered again and again, but his eyes turned red, and he agreed after a while.
Xue Jingyi shook his hand and thanked weakly.
Everyone in the Xue family revolves around her. Whenever she asks, she will do her utmost to realize it for her, but when she comes to Xue Zixuan, she only gets a cold negation.
"No, this is cheating, I can't agree." He stared blankly at a sheet of music, not even giving Xue Jingyi a corner of his eyes. He didn't even visit her room once these days, he couldn't face her existence already.
"But I heard that Lord Ye came back in two days. If Xiaoyi could take the place of me instead of me, he would still avoid him." Xue Jingyi gave out his pre-determined remarks.
Xue Zixuan apparently froze and nodded silently after a few minutes.
If it used to be, my brother would never agree to this approach. He often said that music is the most authentic and cannot tolerate a bit of falsehood, so he hates plagiarism and cheating. But now, in order to retain Huang Yi, he can let go of all principles.
If that day comes, I don't know who he will choose between himself and Huang Yi.
Xue Jingyi couldn't control her thoughts, she couldn't help asking, "Brother, do you want me to live?" If I live, Huang Yi will have to die. What would you choose?
Xue Zixuan looked at her with a cold look, and left without a word. He certainly wanted his sister to survive, but only if she could not plunder the life of the boy. Death is an extremely natural process that cannot be avoided by everyone in the world, it is only a matter of time. On that day, calm acceptance is the most calm response.
He didn't see how intense resentment filled his sister's eyes when he turned around.
-------------------
Participating in the competition instead of Xue Jingyi has been in Zhou Yunsheng's plan. The Xue family wanted to conceal his identity, and he wanted to make a name for himself all over the world. The day the truth was revealed, the little Xue family couldn't control the development of the situation.
To ensure that he does not contact outsiders, the Xue family sent several bodyguards to monitor. In the preliminary round of already, the lounge was filled with 12 to 18-year-olds. Among them, there are many prominent family members, but few are as high-profile as him, always surrounded by a group of big men with sunglasses.
Some people don't like his style, they talked loudly, while others tried to come to him to protest, stopped by several bodyguards. This move attracted more cynicism. It's so high-profile before the game starts, don't be too ugly when you lose.
Each contestant has recorded a section of vcr submitted to the organizing committee, which will be edited and played together in order to let everyone know each other's level.
vcr was taken by Xue Jingyi before she became ill. Although she hasn't experienced talents, she can only rank in the middle of the players. They never saw her as a real opponent.
The fact that such a mediocre person poses high above him really does make many players feel like someone is in a fox and a tiger. In fact, Xue Zixuan's talent has nothing to do with him.
Thinking like this, many people shook their heads and sneered, taking the initiative to alienate him. In particular, Hanna, the most promising Austrian player, brought a small gift for each player, except for Zhou Yunsheng.
This kind of battle between the stage and the stage is nothing for Zhou Yunsheng. He sat quietly in the corner and looked down at a sheet of music. A few moments later, a series of exhausting sounds rang out in the lounge, and I could still hear exaggerated expressions like, "Oh my god, I'm going to faint."
Zhou Yunsheng felt something, raised his eyes for a glance, but saw Xue Zixuan walking towards himself. He is wearing a gray gown today, with a silk scarf with a mix of black, white, and gray stripes around his neck, and wearing white gloves on his hands, looking like a nobleman from a medieval oil painting.
In the meantime, someone stopped him from signing, but he refused. When he walked to the teenager, his cold-looking face was slightly softened, and he leaned over and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Not nervous." Zhou Yunsheng shook his head.
"For the sake of fairness, I can't be your judge, but I will look at you offstage. Believe in yourself, the champion must be yours." He took off his gloves and stroked the teenager's cheek, his expression and tone could not be said tender.
Zhou Yunsheng smiled.
Xue Zixuan also wanted to say some comfort words, but he found that he was extremely rusty in this respect, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable sentence, so he had to stand beside the teenager like a sculpture. He thought he might be able to give the teenager a hug, and he was just about to bend over, but saw Xue Yan pushed by the fourth senior Xue.
He immediately stood in front of the boy, "This is a player rest area, and idlers cannot wait in."
"How did they get in?" Xue Laosi pouted at the bodyguards around the teenager. Seeing it so tightly, is a teenager a prisoner?
"Xiao Yi has a heart attack. In order to avoid an accident, the organizing committee agrees that we will send someone to protect him."
Xue Yan didn't speak, only sneered. Xue Zixuan also wanted to drive the two away, and a staff member hurried in, saying that the organizing committee would hold an emergency meeting and let him hurry.
"Brother, go, I'm fine, my uncle will not eat me again." Zhou Yunsheng patted his arm lightly.
Xue Zixuan repeated his fist, staring coldly at the man and leaving.
"You go down first." Xue Yanchong waved a few bodyguards. These people all know the prestige of Yan Ye, where to dare to defy, and head down and go out.
"Brother? It's very friendly. Who is your brother?" Xue Yan sneered by holding the teenager's wrist, looked up and down, and dismissed his mouth. "What kind of clothes are you? You can't dress normally every time you meet." A little? "
Zhou Yunsheng pulled the white dress on her body, shrugged helplessly, "This is a uniform outfit issued by the organizing committee. The female players all wear it like this. What can I do. It's okay, I can leave Xue's house soon, no more Do n’t suffer from this crime. "
Xue Yan pulled him to his side, kneading his slender fingertips and said, "We will have an engagement ceremony after the game. I will help you customize a dress. Do you like black or white?"
"What color do you wear?" Zhou Yunsheng became interested, squatting down-lying on his knees, eyes bright.
"I wear black."
"Then I'll wear white."
"Okay, that's it." Xue Yan smiled lightly, and pulled out a ring from his jacket pocket and put it on his ring finger. He said slowly, "This is an engagement ring. We will be two after the wedding ring." Go pick. When the game is over, I will help you make up a grand proposal ceremony. Do you want me to kneel? "
Zhou Yunsheng opened his five fingers repeatedly to appreciate the exquisite workmanship of the diamond ring, and saw that he also wore a ring of the same style with a satisfied smile, "No, let me do the proposal ceremony, and it should be me who kneels Kneeling, you just have to wait. "He couldn't hold back the joy of his heart, hugged the man's head and kissed hard, and the loud voice made everyone look curious.
Mr. Xue couldn't help laughing every time they listened to the conversation, and had to sigh that the boss had picked up treasure this time. Although the teenager is only 16 years old, the discerning person can see how much effort he has bet on this relationship. His love is so deep and unquestionable that once he has been identified, he will hold the man's hand tightly and lead him to run forward to happiness.
Only such people can make Xue Yan, who is hard-hearted, move.
Xue Yanxi held the back of the boy and gave him a kiss of lingering tongue and tongue, and squeezed his fingertips as an encouragement before leaving the lounge.
The contestants were disdainful of Zhou Yunsheng's behavior. At the moment, they even recognized that he was just a bale of pleasure and flirtatiousness, so they stopped looking at him, and secretly felt sorry for Xue Zixuan's sister. .
---------------------------
The game progressed in an orderly manner, and several seed players performed quite well, and the judges gave high ratings. Hannah, in particular, she played "Compeniera", one of the most difficult piano songs in the world. She took out this kind of tune in the preliminary stage and directly improved the style of the game by several levels.
If the player behind her does not have a brighter performance, she can only be reduced to a foil, and the judges may give a lower score than their actual performance.
Because of the endless applause, she has been bowing to the audience to thank her, leaving the stage after a minute or two. Zhou Yunsheng came out just behind her, standing at the steps and looking up.
"Good luck," she said, leaning against her lips as she stumbled across the teenager.
"You changed the track temporarily?" Zhou Yunsheng asked in standard German. He remembered that the track on the list of the Hannah newspaper was "Sadness", and she suddenly raised the difficulty to put the subsequent players in an extremely embarrassing situation. Of course, if there is absolute strength, this episode is not a big deal.
"Yes, you can change it temporarily," Hannah said with a smile.
"Your proposal is good. I like competitive competitions." Zhou Yunsheng nodded with a smile and wrote a small note to the judges.
The judges were shocked after reading the note. After sending people to negotiate with the teenager repeatedly, they saw that his mind was over, and they only nodded in agreement. Sitting in the back rows, Xue Zixuan saw that the curtain had not been pulled open, and walked over to inquire about the situation.
"Dear Xuan, your sister changed the song temporarily. She is going to play" To Palochev. "We advised her, but she was not willing to accept our opinion. so ..." The staff shrugged. , Said that he was very helpless.
"To Palochev" was not included in "Superb Etude", but the degree of difficulty in playing is only as high as that of them. This song is little known, and the number of players is very few, not only because it requires masterly playing skills, but also requires a lot of emotions that are unthinkable by ordinary people.
Puffalo, the most famous pianist of the last century, suffered a mental breakdown by practicing this piece. Since then no one has been able to play it completely. Once it was released, it was hailed as 'the music of the devil'. The player needs to continuously and vigorously hit the keys, continuously playing the non-consonance strings, and the melody stays at the climax from beginning to end. to vanish.
When this piece premiered, the audience chose to leave collectively because they couldn't stand the strong stimulus. Since that day, "To Palochev" has completely retired from the stage of mainstream music. Until a century later, no musician has discovered the unique charm hidden in its melody and intends to make it reappear.
But they failed without exception. Even Xue Zixuan once said that he could only play the form of "To Palochev", but could not reshape its soul.
Devil's music may only be played by the devil.
This is why the judges are shaking. They don't want to watch a potential player get eliminated because he picked the wrong song. But if he insists, they will not stop.
The host reported the temporarily changed track and hissed on and off the stage. The players in the lounge even laughed a lot, and gave Hannah a thumbs up. Had Hannah not stimulated Xue Jingyi, she would not have taken the initiative to die. Well, there is one less competitor.
"Yan Yan, Xiao Yi hasn't come to power yet, what are they shouting about?" Xue Laosi is a rough man with no rhythm.
Xue Yan was using mobile phone Baidu to see the introduction of "To Palochev", and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"The music of the devil is so tricky." Xue Laosi looked up, his mouth was straight.
Between the two talking, the curtain opened, and the girl (teenager) already in a pure white dress sat in front of the piano, a beam of light focused on his head, and he shone a little. He lowered his eyelids slightly and seemed to be adjusting his mood.
The judges are not urging. The girl's choice of this song already proved his courage, they were willing to give him more time.
Xue Jingyi, who was sitting at home watching the live broadcast, secretly gritted her teeth, but couldn't understand why Huang Yi temporarily changed the track. Does he think he can play songs that even his brother can't perform perfectly? Is he too arrogant or stupid? If I had known it before, he shouldn't have been allowed to participate in the competition.
Zhou Yunsheng is recalling the creative background of "To Palochev". It was written by the unrecognized musician Carrans of the last century. After the song was performed and received countless bad reviews, he committed suicide in poison, and the body slowly decayed in the dilapidated small loft where he lived, until a month Found by the landlord.
At that time, the public thought that he chose to die because he couldn't accept the failure. After all, he spent the whole seven years writing this song, and it was not an exaggeration to say ‘a painstaking effort’. But Zhou Yunsheng didn't think so. Why is this song called "To Palochev"? Who is Palochev and what does it have to do with Karance?
People at the time couldn't find out, and didn't want to check, but Zhou Yunsheng owned 008, and it was easy to find the truth. After searching the historical database, he found that Palochev was a real existence. He was a classmate of Karance High School. The two were very close to each other, but when they graduated, Palochev could not stand the family I've committed suicide. From the day he died, Karance spent all his energy and time on the music, and the next day after the song was completed and performed, he also chose to commit suicide.
To pay tribute to a dead soul with his whole life, and follow him without hesitation. What kind of deep feeling? Is it just simple friends? Zhou Yunsheng didn't think so, according to local medical records, Palochev was sent to a mental hospital for treatment by his family because he fell in love with the same sex. At that time, homosexuals did not get the slightest respect, and were found to be excluded by society as a whole.
What kind of inhuman torture did Palochev suffer before he chose to die? And how does Karance, his lover, persevere in endless despair? Why is the melody of "To Palochev" so violent from beginning to end, really just to express the pain of losing your lover?
No, there should be resentment, resistance, condemnation, and condemnation of this cruel and ruthless society that ruined their happiness and their hope of living. The emotion intertwined in the violent melody is only pure love and hate, and the two become one and become ruin.
What Carans really wanted to do after the death of his lover was to destroy this cruel world, but he had no ability to put it into action. He could only write endless love and hate into a melody, and vent it to all listeners, even Even Palochev was resentful, hating him for leaving him alone to face death.
When the listener swears because he can't stand the excitement, he should be very happy, so he will leave the world with satisfaction.
The critics of the time were very keen, they were right, this is indeed a devil's music, because destruction and death are its main melody.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunsheng took a deep breath and pressed the first note hard. He also experienced the most passionate love, the most painful torture; he also struggled desperately in despair to see the end, trying to resist this cruel and ruthless world. When the lover threw him back to the body to die alone, he hated him just as much, but loved him with heartbreaking love.
He felt the same way Carans felt.
The judges and listeners in the audience are waiting for him to timidly withdraw after a long period of silence, but did not expect him to move. With the first high note splattering out, one section after another was extremely thick, and the sharp, discordant melody rolled like a mountain collapse.
The juvenile struck the keys quickly and violently, because the back of the hand was too hard to burst into a blue tendon, with a stern and painful expression on his face. His spine was straight, suddenly curved, and his hair made a mark in the beam of light with the swaying head. His fingertips quickly slid from one end to the other, knocking out more than three hundred notes full of one bar at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.
The high-pitched piano sound hits the eardrums of the audience continuously, straight into the heart, making them feel fear and anxiety, and at the same time feel pain and depression, as if they have covered their mouth and nose with both hands, causing them to suffocate in despair.
Adolescents are obviously more painful and desperate than they are. Because he was stuck in the piano sound and couldn't extricate himself, his face was covered with a liquid that did not know whether it was sweat or tears. With the movement of the skull, he sprinkled it on the back of the hand and the keys, and glittered in the beam of light.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the last note heavily, as if the music coming from **** came to an abrupt end. He rested his hands weakly on the keys, his heavy breathing spread from the earpiece, echoing in every corner of the concert hall.
A quiet needle drop is heard under the stage, some people are holding their chests full of fear, some people are clenching their lips and crying silently, and some people are stuck and unable to pull away. Until today, they have really realized that the music really has the power to hit the soul, and every note he plays can make their soul feel pain and tremble because of it.
"Diao! Diao burst." Xue Laosi was stunned. Even a big man can be shocked by the music of young people, not to mention full of professionals.
Xue Yan applauded first. After him, the applause rang out thinly until it merged into a thunder. The eight judges stood up and applauded, cheeks flushed with excitement. They could hear such a pure "To Palochev" in their lifetime, and they died without regret.
Xue Zixuan crowded the audience around and rushed to the stage, hugging the boy tightly in his arms, every cell was shuddering. He was conquered by him, from body to soul.
"Encore!" The audience stood up one after another, cheering and converging into a tidal wave.
Zhou Yunsheng pushed Xue Zixuan to bow down to pay tribute to everyone, with a bit of pain on his face. Xue Zixuan took off his white gloves, wiped the sweat from his face, and hugged him warmly again, his proud smile can be seen all over the world.
Xue Yan was stuck in the audience because of his inconvenience. He could only stare at the stage with a stern face.
"I want to cure my legs." He explained briefly.
"Ah? Didn't you say you don't want to be ruled?" Xue Laosi was a scum, and saw Xue Zixuan who ran on the stage and stood with the teenager, naturally understood everything.
"Okay, I'll arrange surgery for you when you go back." He smiled relievedly. A person who can have a love for life will gradually become lucky even in an unfortunate life.
The players are crowded in the aisle, and their expressions are particularly exciting. Regardless of juvenile skills or expressiveness, already can be compared with the best musicians in the world. After Hanna raised the level of the game, the teenager pushed it to a level that ordinary people can't reach. Not to mention the youth group, the adult group, he is also a well-deserved champion.
Now, the competition has just begun. What kind of shock will he bring to everyone in the next semi-finals and finals?
The judges are determined to hit the highest score together. Perfect, they can't give anything else except perfect. The boy thanked the audience who was going to step down, but was enthusiastically called back. They liked him too much and hoped that he could play another song, but this obviously did not meet the competition rules. Zhou Yunsheng could only end the curtain again and again. It took five minutes to return to the lounge under the support of Xue Zixuan.
already, the player who appears later, has no hope, so he is especially relaxed during the performance. They know that no matter how hard they try, they can't surpass the teenager. The competition has just begun, and the candidate for the championship is determined by already, unless there is any accident during this period that the teenager cannot participate in the competition normally.
Xue Jing, sitting in front of the TV, swallowed a pill for help. Jue's unparalleled talent, already, seriously exceeded her estimate. Now she is panicking, not sure if she can climb to the same height as him after getting the juvenile's heart.
He is on the stage like a star in the sky, so far away.
