Nobuo Fukuyama’s confidence does not come in vain.
First of all, he is a musical performer. Although he is not particularly famous, he still has tens of thousands of fans on his Twitter account. He usually posts some videos, and occasionally someone is outstanding. With hundreds of thousands of likes, he is considered a well-known music performer.
For such a person, it is naturally impossible to only play one instrument. The cello is indeed his best instrument, but the piano is not bad either.
Compared to his incompetent nephew, he has been in the industry for decades, is proficient in seven or eight musical instruments, and has appeared in many schools and even TV shows. Among the instruments that can be ranked in the top three, apart from the well-known cello, there is definitely the piano.
At this time, in order to help Fukuyama Yaki to vent his anger, the song performed by Nobuo Fukuyama, who listened to his nephew's opinion, turned out to be the same song performed by Baiyunshan just now - "To Alice!"
This move can be described as murderous and heart-breaking!
I use the piano you just played to play the music you just played to defeat you. There is no more thorough and direct slap in the face than this, let alone a young man in his twenties who thinks he can do it. Even if he was humiliated like this at his age, he would definitely be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood!
However, although the trick was a bit vicious, Nobuo Fukuyama had no choice. His eldest brother died young, leaving behind such an only son. Nobuo Fukuyama, who thought he wanted to take good care of his son for his eldest brother, was not always obedient to him. , but also treat it as one's own. Now that I know that he is being bullied, I naturally want to stand up for him, even if it offends others.
What's more, he's not a big shot! He's not even a member of his circle, he's just an agent from Sony. Even his qualifications to participate in this show are questionable. It looks like he came in through the back door. I, Nobuo Fukuyama, slapped him in the face. So what? Sample?
Nobuo Fukuyama thought disdainfully.
Thoughts were flowing in my mind, but the movements on my fingertips never stopped.
As a professional musician, when comparing the song "To Alice" played by Baiyunshan earlier, although it is the same piece of music, the difference in style can be clearly felt.
The beautiful melody is brisk and bright, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains in summer.
Nobuo Fukuyama's performance can be called perfect!
The general audience in the audience may not be able to hear it, but just think it sounds good, but the three referees are more or less exposed to this knowledge, especially Ryuichi Sakamoto, who is the head referee and is Japan’s ceiling level. As a musician, within a few seconds, I could hear the difference in level and the strength of Nobuo Fukuyama in front of me.
It has to be said that even if it is the same song, Baiyunshan's performance just now will not be able to beat him no matter how high it is.
The banana people exchanged glances again, and they all saw worry in them.
After all, it was originally agreed that Baiyunshan would win this game, and Nobuo Fukuyama would just let it go a little bit, and it would not be an obvious letdown. He could perform perfectly in the front, and occasionally make one or two mistakes in the back, which would be enough. It will damage the level and reputation of the latter, but also allow the former to announce the show and the program can continue better.
But now that the song stopped, there was no fault to be found. This song was played to the fullest by the person in front of him, and it was clear that he did not want Baiyunshan to win.
It seems that the first candidate for the show to lose two games in a row is about to appear——
Everyone present couldn't help but think about it.
They could no longer imagine how Baiyun Mountain could win. There might be a chance to play another Beethoven classic, but this might be slim.
Not to mention the skills that Nobuo Fukuyama has honed over decades, Baiyunshan is a young boy in his early twenties. It can be seen from the song he just played "To Alice" that Baiyunshan's piano talent is not very high. , the training time is too different, and the talent is not ridiculously high, it seems impossible to win anyway.
Several younger members in the lounge couldn't help but cover their eyes, not wanting to see Baiyun Mountain's fiasco.
Even though I was mentally prepared in advance, it didn’t end like this!
"Let's welcome the next contestant to the stage!"
Under the spotlight, it was finally Baiyunshan's turn to take the stage.
Although there were many disapproving voices at the scene, Baiyunshan remained motionless, sitting firmly on the ornately carved chair in front of the piano.
His hands were gently placed on the keys.
With just this action, everyone at the scene, including the members in front of the TV, could feel a slight difference. It was a very subtle feeling, but they couldn't describe the specific thing.
Only Ryuichi Sakamoto, who had always been calm at the scene, noticed a familiar aura, and his expression changed for the first time!
Nana Hashimoto in the lounge was also startled. She thought of the day of the lantern festival, when Bai Yunshan came on stage to sing a song. She also felt this kind of aura the moment he opened his mouth!
While everyone was waiting with bated breath, Baiyunshan gently pressed the black and white keys.
"Boom!"
From slow to fast, the quiet music with a touch of sadness flows out from the fingertips of Baiyun Mountain.
A scene seemed to appear before everyone's eyes. In the spring after the cold winter, pieces of cherry blossom petals blown by the wind drifted into the deserted corridor. Warm clear light shone in through the windows, and the white and transparent curtains were blown by the wind. The wind blew loudly, and the cherry blossom petals fell in the empty classroom. There seemed to be books placed on the slanted table, flipping in the breeze.
Light and bright, yet sad and peaceful.
Depressed yet hopeful.
The melody of the piano completely attracted everyone at the scene. Baiyunshan played more and more calmly. After completely redeeming himself, he could confidently say to everyone that no one understands this piece of music better than me! No one can play it better than me!
His fingers were sometimes quick and sometimes gentle, as if he was no longer playing a piano piece, but like a weather-beaten old man with white temples, a faint smile on his face, telling stories that happened when he was young. . The touching and sad feelings are all in the past, leaving only a quiet and long aftertaste.
"..."
After Baiyunshan pressed the last key, the scene was still quiet.
Immediately afterwards, waves of applause sounded like mountains and seas, and cheers resounded through the sky!
"It plays so well!"
"It's incredible! I thought that Fukuyama-san, who was in front, had reached his peak and there was no way he could lose. I didn't expect that someone could surpass him!"
"I feel like my body and mind have been baptized! Is this the charm of music?"
"You said that since he played so well, why was he just average in the last round?"
"Needless to say! It must be for the sake of the show. If you directly show your true skills when you come up, what else is there to watch?"
"You're right. I think he was just letting off steam. Apparently Nobuo Fukuyama went too far and chose the same song as others. They were angry, so they counterattacked!"
...
There was also joy in the lounge.
"Awesome! Baiyun-san\amazing/!"
"Don't worry, we may not win yet!"
"It doesn't matter even if you don't necessarily win. Bai Yunsang has already shown his strength with this move. There will definitely be no boos whether he loses or not, and I can't think of a reason to lose!"
"Huh? Didn't you just say that you couldn't think of a reason to win?"
"Hey, that's just for the effect of the show. Without me saying this, would the next twist be so exciting?"
"Haha, you can create program effects even through the TV, Sayuri really has you!"
Nana Hashimoto, who was unconsciously crossing her chest with her hands in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief and put down her hands, but she saw Mai Fukawa staring at her with a puzzled face next to her.
"Nanamin seems very nervous Baiyun-san?"
Hashimoto Nana's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't it right to be nervous? You see, everyone is very concerned about whether he can win, right?"
Mai Mai nodded: "That's right, but it always feels a little different..."
"What's the difference? Maimai, do you still want to eat your cake? If not, let me eat it." Hashimoto Nanami quickly changed the subject.
"Hey~ This can't be done, Nanamin, unless you beg me -" Mai Mai suddenly smiled mischievously, holding the cake and shaking it back and forth in front of her like a puppy.
"Huh! Forget it!" Hashimoto Nana said with a strong voice.
"Really? Then I'll eat it?"
"Okay, let me beg you, good Mai Mai, just give me this!"
A certain girl from Hokkaido smells so good instantly.
"Hmph, I didn't say I would give it to you if you beg me. Nanamin was fooled so quickly~"
"Okay, you actually dare to trick me again, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"
"Yada~Nanamin don't want it!"
Unlike the buckwheat group who were laughing and playing over there, the trio of Shengshengxing gathered next to them, still looking up at the TV.
"I want to learn piano from Baiyun-san." Erika Ikuta said her heart without hesitation with stars in her eyes.
"Yeah, by the way, let him finish telling the story about the sky. It's so shameless to keep delaying it! It's best to tell it while playing the piano." Ikoma Rina nodded quickly.
"❤Isn't this bad? Baiyun-sang is too tired, too?❤" The kind-hearted Xiaonan obviously didn't cheat on her like these two unscrupulous friends, and said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you want to hear it?" The little bird on the side was rarely by Dad Qiao's side (because Mama Mai was), so he took the opportunity to jump out and make a noise.
"❤Think.❤" Xiaonan nodded obediently.
"That's it!"
So when Baiyunshan didn't know anything about it, the lolita in the lounge hastily made such a torturous plan. Baiyunshan was still unaware that the reins had been put into his neck.
...
TV Tokyo, the God of Musical Instruments live.
After the excitement in the scene gradually cooled down, the Banana Man looked at each other in tacit understanding. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He looked at Baiyun Mountain and said with emotion: "Baiyun Sang, you are amazing. I didn't expect that you can still hide such a skill."
Baiyunshan didn't speak, but smiled reservedly.
"This is an original song, right? I have never heard this piano piece before. Did you create it?" Boss Sakamoto suddenly pulled the microphone on the table and spoke.
Of course this person can't do this. Baiyunshan nodded quickly: "Yes, the name of the song is Sakura Corridor. It is a song written for spring."
