Chapter 502: Can Yufan win?
"It's "Fate"!" Everyone stood outside the piano room door, and all their expressions were shocked when they listened to the sound of the piano coming from inside!
Even those who don’t understand music must have heard of this famous “Fate” motivation. As Maxim just started playing for a while, the audience outside immediately heard it. Moreover, the surging and impactful sound of the piano made them extremely excited!
In the piano room, Maxim's performance continued. A pair of strong and powerful hands were swaying in front of the piano, and his atmosphere was extremely grand. After playing for a few bars, Maxim gradually entered the state, and the nervousness just now disappeared. On the stage, the confident, ostentatious and passionate Maxim had already played out without reservation!
"It's worthy of being Maxim, it's really amazing!" Liu Yufan, who was standing aside, secretly admired Maxim's performance in front of the piano. Although Maxim seemed to have a lot of movements when playing, many of the key-falling movements looked a bit casual and even without rules, through all this, what Liu Yufan saw was his familiarity and control of the piano keyboard. Yes, no matter how many exaggerated movements he made, the moment his fingers touched the keys, he could immediately return to the most rigorous touching movements. Maxim, as a piano idol of the younger generation, was indeed extraordinary!
"Fate 80" is not a real "Symphony of Destiny", it is just a popular song based on it. Many music as excessive nature are deleted, and only the most classic and familiar part is retained, so this song in less than five minutes sounds wonderful at all. Maxim's impactful performance even expresses the "resistance" and "unyi" spirit in this song!
"This Maxim is indeed very strong. Among the players participating in the competition this year, I'm afraid that they can also be ranked in the top few. Haha, this little guy from China ignites fire everywhere as soon as he comes here, and I'm afraid I'm in trouble now." Berezovsky looked at Maxim's performance. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he thought of Liu Yufan. He couldn't help but turn his head and take a look, but he saw that the other party looked at Maxim's performance calmly without any anxiety.
"This psychological quality is really strong, haha, but I'm really strange. Why does this guy think he will definitely surpass Maxim? Looking at his sure-to-win victory, it's really hard to understand." Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan, and with his countless experiences and his genius politician's mind, he could see Liu Yufan's psychological activities clearly. Although he didn't understand what "secret weapon" he had, Berezovsky knew that he was full of confidence in his victory!
This is strange. The two people are competing with playing pop music now. In this field, people like Maxim who have had several years of experience in the stage are not comparable to ordinary people. Many people's first reaction to the popular piano is that it is simple and anyone can play it. In fact, it is not the case. Pop piano is a real "it is difficult to sing a small song well." Take the most famous "Dedicated to Alice" for example. I'm afraid any piano lover is familiar with it, and many people can even play it smoothly, but it can play the "flavor" of Richard Clayderman. , How many people can there be? Popular pianos emphasize "taste" more than "skills", but this "taste" needs to be obtained in long-term stage practice. Just like at this moment, the song "Destiny" played by Maxim is strictly speaking, both in terms of mode and basic rhythm, which is much worse than Beethoven's original song, omitting many obscure segments, and the progress of the chords is also smoother, more popular, and more in line with the popular trend, so it can make more people understand it. Many people even know the piano version when they mention "Destiny", but few people have heard the original version of the symphony.
In this way, Maxim has really gained an advantage in this area. Berezovsky believes that even if he changes himself, he has no chance of winning with Maxim, because there is not much room for performance. Although he is better than Maxim in skills, it seems that this is not a simple competition of skills. When it comes to playing popular pianos, it is actually not necessary to have such high skills as himself. An amateur player is enough. A professional pianist like himself does not have much advantage in playing such music. On the contrary, because he often plays classical works, the songs he plays are still a little worse in the popular "taste".
Of course, there is no requirement for playing popular works in this game, but think about it, there are a lot of people outside, nearly two-thirds of them are Maxim's fans, and their tastes of listening to music can be said to be "used" by Maxim. In this case, playing a regular classical work is not an obvious way to tell people outside, "I am not Maxim, I am that Chinese"? In that case, at least two-thirds of the votes will be lost in an instant. Even if the remaining contestants support him, they may not be able to defeat them!
No matter how Berezovsky thought, he couldn't figure out what advantages this guy from China had. He was curious and couldn't help but look forward to the next game!
With this mentality, Berezovsky paid much less attention to Maxim's performance. He played Liszt. Although this song "Fate 80" looks rich, it actually has a very small amount of real technical content. Even the three songs with the first three of the twelve super skills are far from reaching, so he naturally does not have much interest in watching it!
"So amazing. This song "Fate" is really nice. It sounds more interesting than in the CD!" Listening to the sound of the piano coming from inside, a music fan thought to himself.
"Will this be played by Maxim? It sounds like him, but it may also be that Chinese. Haha, I can't see who is playing, and Maxim is in trouble now. If that Chinese performs better, I really can't tell the final victory or loss in this game. If he really sells himself to that Chinese, that's the most ridiculous thing in this game." Another contestant smiled in his heart.
The layman listens to the excitement, while the expert listens to the tricks. Although there are a large group of people standing outside the door, there are only a few contestants who can be qualified for the evaluation. As for the music fans outside, you can ask them to support Maxim face to face, shout OK, offer flowers, and applaud. In this case, they can hear which song was played by their idol Maxim, but it is "a little more difficult". When they can't see who is playing, they can only "follow the feeling".
"This song was not played by Yu Fan." Wang Yujia stood outside the door and listened quietly, saying in her heart. She had not been in contact with Liu Yufan for a long time, and she also had a certain understanding of his playing style. Therefore, by listening this simple way, we can tell whether the song was played by him.
However, this made her worry even more. Because from the perspective of popular piano, this song is obviously a very pleasing piece. It not only borrows the general trend of "Symphony of Destiny", but also incorporates many modern elements to increase the audibility. The most important thing is that the performer's skills are impeccable, and the strong "popular" flavor exudes a concise meaning everywhere. In each specific small details, the almost impeccable playing makes the listeners unable to find any problems. At the same time, it is enough to make those who are ready to compete with them feel desperate!
"Can Yufan win?" Although Wang Yujia was full of confidence in Liu Yufan at the beginning, she was also a little shaken at this moment. After all, the other party was the famous Maxim, not a cat or a dog!
In the piano room, Maxim was playing with affectionately, completely forgetting everything outside his body. Although he wore six huge gem rings on his hands, this did not affect his performance. When Liu Yufan saw him playing a rapidly rising melody, his slender and thick five fingers were as accurate as a mechanical one! The sound was clean, solid, and solid, with a refreshing smell, which made people feel very happy! This guy is really strong!
But this is good. Maxim's performance has aroused Liu Yufan's desire to challenge! In fact, since he just won Tengcun Shunichi not long ago, Liu Yufan felt that such a competition could help him improve his piano performance level, especially his psychological quality more quickly. If it were ordinary people, under such great pressure, they would have been unable to bear it and their performance was abnormal. But Liu Yufan did not have such a phenomenon. The more he was in such a situation, he found that he was more excited and his performance became more extraordinary when he touched the keys. He didn't know whether his situation was naturally a "performance player" or because he played the "free and easy-to-action" every day. In short, he now felt more and more excited now. The stronger his opponents were, and the more he finally stepped on them, the more excited he felt!
Maxim's hands quickly flew over the keys, bringing up a string of flying melodies. The high-speed sound stream was like a smooth band, without any flaws. Then, he ended the performance with several heavy bass chords!
The moment his arms raised from the keys, Maxim quickly stood up from the piano. His aura was like a sword that opened its edge, full of ostentatiousness! I wonder if it was an illusion, but at this moment, he looked like he had a faint echo with the piano in front of him, just like the legendary master "man-sword unity".
Turning around and looking at Liu Yufan, Maxim's sharp gaze shot in his eyes without any hesitation, but a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's your turn, don't let me down." Maxim said in English.
"Haha, I don't know what you are talking about, but I think you should find a pen so that you won't be inconsistent when signing the contract later." Liu Yufan said to Maxim with a smile, but he spoke Chinese, and Maxim also couldn't understand it.
But Berezovsky understood. Looking at Liu Yufan who was full of confidence, the curiosity in his eyes became even stronger.
