March 20, TV Tokyo.
The final of the much-anticipated program "God of Instruments" has finally arrived.
On the one hand, he is a well-known performer with hundreds of thousands of YouTube fans, and his videos have been viewed in the tens of millions! He has performed in major programs and is an honorary professor at Tokyo University of Music. He has been a top performer for nearly 20 years since his debut. Talent and hard work are indispensable - Harada Mori!
On the other side, there is an unknown agent, a fledgling boy with no particularly outstanding resume, but his performance on the show is always amazing, and he performs all kinds of songs with great proficiency! And whether it is original or adapted, they have fully demonstrated their own skills. It can be said that it is the biggest dark horse since the show began - Baiyun Mountain!
When these two people confront each other, what will be the outcome? let us wait and see!
"Let's wait and see! Is there any need for these old-fashioned and second-rate scumbag introductions to exist? It makes my skin crawl when I hear it!" Baiyunshan audience complained with empty eyes.
Chuan Jingai, who usually accompanied him, could only advise: "Forget it, Baiyun Sang, if there are only two of you in the final, the time will definitely not be enough compared with the previous ones, so it is understandable to talk nonsense to delay time. But it is also because there are only two people. I’m just a person, so I don’t plan to do too many issues, just this one issue will be the end, and it’s incomparable to the previous ones.”
Baiyunshan asked in confusion: "Hasn't the competition system been changed?"
"It has been changed, but instead of becoming longer, it has become shorter." Chuan Jingai explained.
"It's shorter? What are Supervisor Yamada and the others thinking?" Baiyunshan was a little confused.
"I don't know, but it's said that it's a return to nature?"
As they said, the format of the finals has returned to the original format compared with the previous ones, but it is obviously that they were frightened by the endless stream of original songs in Baiyun Mountain, so original songs are not allowed to appear. The last round is just to play a piece of music with an instrument. There are no restrictions on the instrument or the music. Only the simplest basic skills are tested.
This seems to be very simple, without any bells and whistles, but it is also the most difficult.
What kind of music and what kind of performance can move people's hearts? The answer seems to have been clear for a long time, but it is extremely difficult to reach that state.
Shouldn't it be said that he is indeed the "God of Musical Instruments"?
Baiyunshan thought silently.
At this time, someone found him.
Baiyunshan looked at that three-dimensional face that was as steep as a rock. There were white hairs above the forehead, and the thick stubble around the lips made him look elegant but not without a hint of majesty. There was one he had seen before. The calmness and indifference after the strong wind and waves, with the brown and gray coat on his body, give people a sense of stability and solidity.
It was Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Seeing this world-class figure in the music industry looking for him, Baiyunshan couldn't help but be startled, and then quickly came back to his senses to say hello.
"Good evening Sakamoto-san."
Sakamoto Ryuichi looked quite kind and said hello to him lightly. Then a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, and finally he said: "Bai Sang, right? I came to you this time because I have something to think about." I want to talk to you."
Baiyunshan asked curiously: "Excuse me, what is it?"
Sakamoto Ryuichi: "Things about your father."
Father?
In the past few years of life in Baiyun Mountain, this term has had an extremely indifferent sense of existence. Why would the big man in front of me mention him? Could it be that the two of them knew each other?
Impossible. In his memory, there was nothing outstanding about the father of the original owner of the body. He didn’t look much different from an ordinary middle-aged man. However, his mother’s appearance was much higher than that of ordinary people. His temperament is also very outstanding, and I don’t know how he fell in love with his father.
But these things are at best the past events of the previous generation. It would be too far-fetched to have anything to do with the Sakamoto boss in front of him. It is a bit unrealistic to think about it.
However, Sakamoto Ryuichi didn't say much, but said lightly: "When the game is over, whether I win or not, I will tell you. I have thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that these are things you should know."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Baiyunshan looked at his back and thought for a long time.
In such a short period of time, he had come up with no fewer than ten messy plots, each with its own merits and ideas, but in the end he shook his head and chose to ignore them.
Even if there really was some connection that he didn't know about, Baiyunshan said he didn't care. These things may be important to the original owner of the body, but for him, they have no effect other than satisfying his curiosity and gossip. He didn't intend to get to know them in depth, after all, he had no feelings for the two parents whom he had never met and only existed in his memory.
Everything that happened in the past has disappeared with the death of the original owner of the body. He still visits the tomb every year, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing. If anything else is involved, it will give him a headache. Baiyunshan Xianyu's character is so bad I can't stand it anymore.
...
Not long after, the competition process officially began.
For the final round, the rules have been mentioned before and are incredibly simple.
The judges are still the same people, the criteria for winning or not have not changed, and the first candidate to take the stage is Harada Mori.
This middle-aged man, who looks about forty years old, looks confident. Of course, a person who can go all the way to the finals cannot be without confidence, and the song he is going to perform is also revealed the moment he shows off his instrument. It has been announced on the big screen behind him.
One of Japan's new generation of well-known performers, Masaaki Kishibe's signature piece - "Time Travel".
This is a guitar song with a brisk rhythm. From the first syllable at the beginning, it gives people a sense of freedom and ease, as if they are on a green train passing through the grassland, looking out through the window, In the vast expanse of green, cattle and sheep grazing with their heads lowered raised their heads when they heard the sound of the train whistle. Above their heads was the clear blue sky.
Harada Mori played very well, or this is what this type of top performer is best at. He polished the beautiful pieces over and over again, and finally integrated them with emotions, changed his own characteristics, and finally merged the two. For one, it plays the gorgeous and moving music that the original author had.
Baiyunshan listened very carefully. He closed his eyes and felt every second of the syllables carefully, as if he had arrived in the spring season. When he opened the window, the blue sky and white clouds came into view. The branches of the trees outside the window , the buds have all opened, and the white pear blossoms are gathered together in clusters, and the mood becomes leisurely.
It wasn't until the performance was over, with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, that he slowly opened his eyes.
To be fair, it's really good. Every syllable is performed to perfection, which is comparable to the original music played by Masaaki Kishibe himself. The emotion is also injected just right. A relaxed and happy mood can't help but come to my heart. It's a masterpiece. .
But, this is not enough.
Baiyunshan shook his head slightly.
At least not enough for what I thought.
The winner of the "God of Musical Instruments" program will be crowned the God of Musical Instruments. We don't need to mention the gold content of the title, but Baiyun Mountain at least wants to raise it to a higher level.
It’s hard to tell how high this realm is, but it’s obviously more than that.
Because Baiyun Mountain’s preparations are higher.
When the curtain was announced, it was his turn to appear.
