"Next, let us applaud, and invite the second contestant, the young pianist from China - Lang Lang! The song he brought us is the sixth "Hungarian Rhapsody"." With the introduction of the host, Lang Lang, wearing a black tuxedo, walked onto the stage in a cool manner.

At the same time, warm applause rang again. Compared to the initial competition, the performance of the rematch contestants was obviously more exciting. With the previous preparation, these contestants gradually became familiar to the audience, and each had a certain number of fans. Lang Lang's handsome appearance and his "passionate" playing style naturally had many music fans who like him...

He bowed gracefully to the audience and the judges beside him. When he saw Grafman on the judges' seat, a hint of respect was clearly revealed in his gaze.

The legendary left-handed pianist with silver hair also gave him an encouraging look. Obviously, his student still occupies a high position in his mind. Although Lang Lang is an Asian, when he came to Curtis Conservatory, he was keen to recognize talents and accepted them as a "personal disciple". Lang Lang did not disappoint him. Not long after he came here, Lang Lang showed amazing talent in piano performance, and brought him quite a few surprises in several consecutive performances and competitions. It was in this situation that he wrote a letter of recommendation to Lang Lang, asking him to participate in this top competition in the piano industry. In his opinion, Lang Lang already has the ability to compete with these top contestants.

However, when Lang Lang sat in front of the piano and was about to play, Grafman, who withdrew his gaze, sighed secretly, as if he was a little annoyed.

"Gruffman. Is this your student?" Zimmerman, who was sitting next to him, turned sideways. Both of them were very famous pianists, and their relationships in private were pretty good, so they spoke more directly. Seeing Graffman's somewhat troubled look, Zimmerman knew what he was thinking.

"Yes, he's excellent." Grafman said softly, still looking at the piano.

"Yes, your student must be unable to make a mistake. What a pity, alas." Zimmerman said, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but sigh in secret.

"To be honest, if I had known this was the case, I would not have come to this game. Who would have thought that such a top-level event would happen, which would be shameful!" Grafman said impatiently, then leaned back more vigorously.

"Forget it. Don't say it anymore. It's not that I haven't had DG before. Even if there is no DG, other companies will do this. Now, few of these competitions are pure. I hope these players can understand them. By the way, after this competition, let your student consider DG. They have told me a few times and asked me to recommend some good seedlings to them. You know, they have always done a good job in operation. There should be a better development when going there." Zimmerman said softly.

"Thank you so much. I think he will definitely be willing to join DG, which is his always dream." Grafman said with some relief at Lang Lang in front of the piano.

He raised his arms very much and then threw them down on the keys!

A huge piece of piano sounded, which was Liszt's famous "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6"!

This is a very famous piece in Liszt's rhapsody, and there are so many people who play it. Before this, other contestants in the preliminaries also played this piece. But obviously, this piece is more in line with the temperament of "Rhapsody" under Lang Lang's hands!

The upper body sat straight and leaned forward slightly. The arms were thrown up and down vigorously, and the ten fingers rose and fell on the keys very much, and the movement of the wrist was dazzling. Langlang gave people the feeling that he was not playing the piano with his arms, but using his whole body to "play", which produced an extremely strong visual impact!

At the same time, his facial expression was even more "dramatic". Sometimes he opened his eyes, sometimes he was "muting" something in his mouth, and sometimes he showed a very "intoxicated" look. He played a note very seriously and carefully, as if he was stroking a rare treasure!

This was Lang Lang's signature performance. Although he had not become famous yet, he had already revealed some clues. Looking at this familiar scene, Liu Yufan smiled knowingly.

Once upon a time, Lang Lang was like these pianists sitting beside him, and he was the object of his gaze and envy. However, at this moment, he had the strength to be on par with them, and all this took only a few years. Although rebirth gave him more experience, the improvement of the piano level was learned little by little. At this moment, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart. This was the only ability he had not used his golden finger to achieve it since his rebirth. It can be seen that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who are determined!

"Oh, this performance is so wonderful. This young man gives people a feeling of being energetic." Many viewers in the audience could not help but have such an idea in their hearts when they watched Lang Lang's performance. Lang Lang's performance was so contagious. Although many people did not appreciate his performance, there were more fans who liked him. Until later, although Lang Lang mainly played classical music, he had many fans, especially those Chinese little piano boys, who almost all regarded him as their idols.

The long and long sound flowed out from his fingertips, which made him excited. Sitting in front of the piano, Lang Lang seemed to be able to feel the eyes of the audience and judges focused on him, which made his performance more passionate. He is such a contestant who performs on the spot. The more there are, the more excited he is!

A song of "Mad Six" that lasted more than six minutes was completed in one go. Not only did it have any mistakes, but it was also very excited to play it. Until the end, his hands quickly "pulled" from the piano as if they were scalded by hot water, and ended the whole song cleanly! This was a very stylish and pretended to be 13, but it was obviously made by Lang Lang, which was really "natural"!

"Wow~~~" Seeing Lang Lang stand up from the piano, the audience also gave warm applause, and even several judges applauded. Although according to the rules, such actions seemed to be suspected of "hint", the judges were not ordinary people and naturally would not care about these so-called rules. In fact, they are authority. In the field of piano, they are all kings. Standing at the top of the pyramid, they can naturally face all this gracefully and calmly.

"Not bad, Grafman, you are really good, student. I think even without my recommendation, this young man will be attracted to DG." Zimmerman said while applauding gently.

"Haha, you're so polite. This child still needs training from stage experience. It's a bit too early to say this now." Grafman was naturally very happy to hear someone else complimenting his students, but he still had to be humble.

While chatting, several judges began to score. For them, evaluating whether a contestant plays well or badly, they only need to read a short paragraph. Although the judges had not communicated much before, they were surprisingly consistent in the scoring process. Langlang's performance made them all score high scores of more than 95 points. For good pianists, their evaluation criteria were completely consistent.

However, when they were scoring, their eyes showed a little helplessness. For nothing else, it was just because this was a "kidnapping" competition. Although it sounded ridiculous, it was a fact. As DG Records, which cost a lot of money, they needed their artists to get the halo of "first", so that they could better operate their records. As DG Records, which has far-reaching influence around the world, they have the strength and confidence to do so.

In fact, when it comes to the performance level of the contestants, everyone is relatively similar to the rematch, and it doesn’t matter who is good or bad. The evaluation criteria are completely different from each other and wise. It is precisely because of this that those record companies have the opportunity to operate. In other words, if the level and strength of the contestants are very different, the audience’s eyes are also bright. If they really want to see that the reputation of the competition will be bad.

"This young man is good. Come in with him and sign him." On the side of the audience, a woman who looked about fifty years old and with delicate light makeup on her face ordered in a faint but unquestionable voice. She was wearing a light green LV suit, with a string of white pearl necklaces hanging around her exposed neck, and a green bracelet on her wrist. Although she was no longer young, she exuded a sense of wealth and did not dare to look at her.

"Okay, Ms. Leon, I will do it soon." A middle-aged man wearing black sunglasses and a wide forehead replied softly in English.

"Our young man has gone up, by the way, have you said hello to the organizer?" The lady named Leon looked at another contestant walking onto the stage and asked again.

"Please rest assured that you have communicated with them and there will be no problems." The man in sunglasses replied cautiously.

"That's good, I'm waiting for good news to win the award." Ms. Leon said, growing up, but quietly left the seat.

Seeing Ms. Leon leave, the man in sunglasses breathed a sigh of relief and felt much less pressure. As the most powerful and powerful vice president of DG Records, Ms. Leon has always been known for her iron-fisted methods. None of the artists and employees of the company are afraid of her. Even Sean, the human resources manager who is most valued by the company, is no exception.

This Liszt Cup is once every four years, with high specifications and the company attaches great importance to this game, which is why Leon takes action personally, just to ensure that the result of the game is "society". Sean felt very stressed these days, but fortunately, everything seems to be developing in a good direction now.

A fanatical sound of the piano began to sound, and the music fans were fascinated by the sound, but Sean was a little excited and leaned on the back of the chair.
