Chapter 139

"If I win this contest," Zhou Heng suddenly said to Ye Yan, "I want to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer me truthfully."

Zhou Heng's words shocked several people in the classroom. After enjoying Ye Yan's performance, he didn't want to give up, instead, he had to put a bet on it, which was really unreasonable. It's not like what Zhou Heng would say.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Fen looked at Zhou Heng and said, "how can you win Ye Yanyan?" Maybe there is a little bonus effect brought by idols, but Ye Yan's performance has gone beyond the scope of their level.

Miss Tong did not speak. She looked at Zhou Heng quietly. In her opinion, Zhou Heng must have his own reason for saying this. If Zhou Heng loses the contest, she can also ask Ye Yan questions instead of Zhou Heng.

Bailu is meditating. Although Ye Yan's performance is excellent, there are always some things that make Bailu feel wrong. She recalled Zhou Heng's performance in the old music building. Reason told her that master Helang's disciples could not lose to an ordinary student, but Bailu could not convince herself that Ye Yan was better than Zhou Heng.

Maybe they can really have a fight. Bailu thought.

"OK," Ye Yan accepted Zhou Heng's terms without hesitation, "if you win me, I will answer your question in front of everyone."

Ye Yan thinks that if he is timid at this time, he will be underestimated by Miss Tong, so he generously takes over Zhou Heng's provocation. Anyway, he can't play better than himself.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Ye Yan cleverly added the precondition of "in front of everyone" to his answer. In the presence of Miss Tong and others, the other party should not ask too many questions. After all, as a star, Ye Yan still has a lot of secrets that can't be disclosed.

As for what will happen if Zhou Heng loses, Ye Yan does not mention it very generously. His goal from the beginning to the end is not to compete with this strange man on the black and white keys of the piano, and to leave a good impression on Miss Tong. Ye Yan will not put the cart before the horse. At present, he has taken a big advantage. Zhou Heng's provocation makes Zhou Heng seem a bit petty, while Ye Yan shows his demeanor very well.

Ye Yan got up from the position in front of the piano and politely set aside space for Zhou Heng to show himself. The onlooker Qin Fen saw Ye Yan's performance, and the stars almost appeared in her eyes.

Zhou Heng is not polite to him. He sits down in the position Ye Yan gives up, and then puts his hand on the piano key.

Zhou Heng had no idea how much piano playing ability he had assimilated from the Heavenly Master system. To understand his doubts, he had to make an attempt.

What music do you want to play? Zhou Heng didn't know piano music at all, and he didn't have any direct vision related to piano in his mind. But when he put his finger on the black-and-white button, he felt that these things were very familiar. He could clearly know which key would make which sound.

It's like, there is a pianist's soul living in his body, this soul will only be activated when he meets the piano.

Zhou Heng's fingers are hot. It seems that there is a force attached to his fingers, driving him to press the key. Zhou Heng understood that his driving force came from the Heavenly Master system, but he suddenly felt a little panic.

This kind of panic comes from Zhou Heng's instinct as a human being. He is worried that his body will be controlled by the Heavenly Master system one day.

"Why hasn't he started yet?" Qin Fen asked in a low voice.

"I'm probably looking for feelings. Let's give him more time." Ye Yan is actually speaking for Zhou Heng. Of course, it's just a way for him to continue to show his style.

Miss Tong is still silent. She looks at Zhou Heng with worry in her eyes.

"Ding!" The first note suddenly struck. Everyone's attention is focused on the past.

A fast-paced melody followed.

"It's the crave!" This time, Qin Fen quickly distinguished. But then she wondered why Zhou Heng played the same music as Ye Yan.

But Ye Yan frowned. In the classic duet of the movie "the sea pianist", the protagonist and black pianist Jerry played "the crave" once in the second round of confrontation. Is it difficult for Zhou Heng to regard himself as a gifted pianist and compare himself to a conceited black pianist, Jerry? This kind of practice is really irritating.

But Bailu's pupils were shining. Different, Zhou Heng's "the crave" and Ye Yan's "the crave" are different!

Although it has the same fast rhythm, Zhou Heng's "the crave" is warm but not cheerful. On the contrary, it has a special heavy feeling in the details. If Ye Yan is telling a story about youth and love through "the crave", then Zhou Heng is showing the pain of happiness in a relatively bright way.The black pianist in the sea pianist is a real person in history, and as the film introduces, he is indeed one of the first jazz pianists and the first jazz composer. The film did not deliberately defame this historical figure, early he is indeed rebellious. But later, when she was hit by the great depression, she suffered from all kinds of hardships in the world: the deception of businessmen, the humiliation of music authority, and the betrayal of people around her. Finally, she played the piano for the same down and out drinkers in the underground bar. The pianist, who claimed to be the originator of jazz, witnessed the first glory and depression of jazz, but failed to persist in the revival of jazz. He died before dawn and died in a dirty bed.

He had seen real peaks, and he had been the focus of everyone in the brightly lit hall. The maid with the champagne passed by him, and with the beating of his fingers, the noble guests danced.

He has also reached the deepest abyss. In the dark corner, only the piano and the row of black-and-white keys are left with him. The same music is played to those drunkards and humble women who have similar experiences with him.

Bailu's eyes are moist. A girl of her age can't bear the deep sorrow hidden in this originally cheerful song.

Like on the sea, the storm has come, driving a boat you are doomed to be overturned here. But you sing a happy song, in the stormy sea, in the turbulent waves, you hum a happy song, recalling the past good days.

But that can only make the grief worse.

Until the last note falls, as a disciple of master Helang, Ye Yan is speechless in the face of Zhou Heng's performance.
