Chapter 104 Pianist

On Christmas Eve, Professor Li Yingzhen returned from Europe and checked An Zhishui's homework as usual.

Li Yingzhen has been an tutor for many years and has a good relationship with students. When she heard that An Zhishui had found a genius, she was naturally very willing to meet her.

An Zhishui is not the most talented student among Li Yingzhen, but she is definitely excellent, not to mention that she is the richest student Li Yingzhen has ever taught. Because of this relationship, many professional titles and work matters of Li Yingzhen at the China Overseas Conservatory of Music are easy to solve. After all, many large-scale concerts held by the China Overseas Conservatory of Music also require sponsors. The China Overseas Conservatory of Music cannot directly reach out to An Dongyang's level, and can only contact Li Yingzhen.

Li Yingzhen went to Anzhishui's house at night. Li Luyou helped Li Banzhuang take the evening study leave and came to Anzhishui's villa together.

Li Yingzhen is a middle-aged woman in her forties with short curly hair and gold-rimmed glasses. She looks very serious and has a slightly fat figure, but she is dressed very well, which restrains the overly plump belly of this woman and highlights her mature charm.

"Hello, Professor Li, I'll take your time out of your busy schedule." Li Luyou spoke to Li Yingzhen as a parent.

"Teacher Li, I am Li Banzhuang." Li Banzhuang knew that his brother attached great importance to it and was particularly well-behaved.

Li Yingzhen nodded. She had heard An Zhishui talk about Li Luyou's brother and sister's situation, and looked at Li Luyou in particular. She taught An Zhishui's piano for so many years and knew An Zhishui's personality very well. She was afraid that the little girl would be moved by her helping Li Luyou like this.

She had to help her see. She knew very well that An Zhishui was simple. A little brother lived with his sister in this way. Such a boy was very powerful, but he could take good care of his sister and worry about his future. Even if such a child was a little scheming, he would never be too bad.

"If it really looks like Zhishui said, I have to thank you for taking the time to see me. I have only seen one child who can play "Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto" at this age. He just ended his concert at Lincoln Concert Hall, and the sponsorship and advertising fees alone were more than two million US dollars." Li Yingzhen also heard An Zhishui say that girls seemed not very interested in piano playing, which was not a problem for Li Yingzhen. Such a girl would have a very unique personality in playing the piano, so she wanted to try her purpose of playing the piano.

Li Luyou calculated the money, more than two million US dollars. I don’t know how much this pianist can get, but it will never be a decimal. Maybe he can’t make a tutor for the rest of his life.

He really has no ambition and actually plans to be a tutor for the rest of his life. Li Luyou felt ashamed for a while.

"If you can play the "Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto" well, you will be treated like this?" Li Banzhuang was also surprised. In this way, he could help his brother realize his ideal.

"That's not, but if there is really the level of Zhishui's words, such treatment is nothing. Every year, the endorsement fee for pianos is more than this, let alone the money for albums and concerts." Li Yingzhen was a little disappointed. This girl is too beautiful and pays special attention to money. These problems are not a problem alone. However, for a girl who wants to become a pianist, it is a very fatal thing. It is too utilitarian and too commercial pianist may not be able to succeed, but it is not something that Li Yingzhen appreciates. Such pianists lack real souls.

What's more, once a girl like this becomes a famous pianist, she is definitely the best performer of commercial performance and can attract countless attention. However, in this way, her performance may become ordinary and show off her skills. Many early pianists who were extremely energetic in the past fell into decline.

"Then I have to play well and work hard to make money." Li Banzhuang completely disappointed Li Yingzhen.

"You play it first." Li Yingzhen waved her hand casually. The Chinese pianist she was most disappointed was Lang Lang, a child who changed her life by relying on the piano, who focused on clinging to the upper class. She felt that the success of such a person was only the success of business operations, but not the success of Chinese pianists.

It is nothing wrong to work hard to change your life, but Li Yingzhen has always wanted to teach a student who plays his own style unscrupulously and ignores the needs of commercialization. An Zhishui could have done it, but the older An Zhishui is, his interest in piano becomes more and more interested, rather than a deep hobby.

"Come on." Li Luyou could see that Li Yingzhen was not in high spirits.

An Zhishui didn't understand Li Yingzhen thought so much and happily ran to Li Banzhuang to write the score. Li Yingzhen didn't really believe that this girl who had no conditions to learn piano could play the "Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto".

Li Banzhuang was sitting in front of the piano and exuded a different temperament. Li Yingzhen suddenly woke up. How could such a young girl have such a temperament? That is, many old pianists, who have been with their beloved piano all their lives, revealing their temperament that can fully control the piano.

For most young pianists, the piano is still a partner who needs to be thought about and understood and run-in. Only those old pianists who have been immersed in their lives will naturally regard the piano as a part of their body, fully understand it, and blend it with it, and be able to completely control it.

Li Banzhuang reveals this kind of temperament. Sitting there, there is no need to adjust to the next cooperation with the piano.

Only experts like her could see such subtle things, and they also scared her. It should be an illusion.

When the first piece of music flowed out, Li Yingzhen was shocked.

She and the piano are completely the same!

The piano plays any precise note as she wants under her operation.

She raised her head high and closed her eyes, with no expression, as if she had nothing to do with the song she played. Her fingers below were more intense than the jumping Chunquan, and several difficult techniques were vented smoothly and naturally.

Many pianists say that the playing of "Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto" is more physically consuming than shoveling ten tons of coal. However, the girl played it easily because of her accurate fingering. However, the flying fingertips touched the intense heat, giving people the feeling that after she finished playing this song, she could still have a "A cigarette", and like the gentleman in "The Pianist at Sea", she put a cigarette on the keys and lit it after playing it!

Li Yingzhen stood closer and closer, staring at her every move in disbelief. Beads of sweat disappeared from Li Yingzhen's forehead, which was so shocking. She wiped her forehead, and a handful of sweat, and a casual blow, landed on the keys.

The lingering water vapor evaporated cleanly in an instant!

The last note fell, An Zhishui and Li Luyou applauded, and Li Yingzhen must have been conquered.

"You are not a human. Normal humans cannot play the piano like you. If Rachmaninov saw it, he would never say that only Horowitz could play the "Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto" well." Li Yingzhen was a little incoherent and grabbed Li Banzhuang's hand and looked at it.

"Teacher Li, I am Li Banzhuang, Li Luyou's sister Li Banzhuang, you can't be a normal girl anymore." Li Banzhuang said playfully.

Li Yingzhen was still shaking her head and staring at the white and tender hands, without a trace of calluses or flaws. She forgot that the person who was still thinking that playing the piano for money would have no aura in the future.

"Professor Li, how about it? Do you still see it?" Li Luyou, like all parents, became particularly humble when he was extraordinarily proud. He smiled so fakely and very hypocritical.

"A real genius..." Li Yingzhen shook her head and nodded again. She looked at Li Banzhuang as if she was looking at a rare treasure. "I dare not teach such a student, and no one dares to teach."

Li Yingzhen is telling the truth. Who in China Overseas Music Academy can play this song like this? If you take piano lessons, which teacher would be embarrassed to teach Li Banzhuang?

"I want to learn composing, I'll apply to the composing department." Li Banzhuang felt a little embarrassed when she saw it.

"That's good, I can be your instructor." Li Yingzhen was happy instead. She could teach Li Banzhuang in the composition department. Then she thought about it and asked with some concern: "Have you ever composed any music?"

Li Banzhuang shook her head, "I won't know at all."

"Okay, you can concentrate on preparing for cultural courses. There is no problem with the professional exam. Now you can read the books related to composition. You have a basic foundation. Talk about it during the interview and I will give you a message." Now it's not long since the professional exams are over, Li Yingzhen has already designed Li Banzhuang and regarded her as her own student.

"Thank you, Teacher Li." Li Banzhuang was very happy.

"What kind of musical talent does Li Luyou have?" Li Yingzhen became interested in Li Luyou again, and her love for talent became great. Maybe the brother and sister were buried because of their family background. My sister is so genius, so my brother might have some amazing talents.

"I will blow the whistle." Li Luyou said embarrassedly, "I can't even understand the music score."

"Why are the two siblings so different?" Li Yingzhen was very surprised and looked at the two siblings, "You don't look very similar. Most people don't know that, so they will definitely not think you are siblings."

The gap will be even bigger in the future. Li Yingzhen thought that this brother was probably just like an ordinary person. He graduated from a prestigious university and worked hard at most. Li Banzhuang was destined to be world-renowned.

"The thing about brother is not about these indifferent things." Li Banzhuang was very dissatisfied with Li Yingzhen's statement that the two brothers and sisters were much different.

"That's right, Li Luyou's talent in sports is not as good as Li Banzhuang's musical talent. He can smash the rebounds with a slam dunk, and there is no such thing in the world." An Zhishui also maintained Li Luyou.

Li Yingzhen laughed, knowing that she had inadvertently belittled Li Luyou, so she offended two little girls.

"On behalf of China Overseas Conservatory of Music, I welcome you." Li Yingzhen stood up and shook hands with Li Banzhuang very formally.

Li Luyou pushed Li Banzhuang, and Li Banzhuang realized that this was Li Yingzhen's official recognition, and also shook hands with Li Yingzhen.
