"Hahaha..."
Yang Chen motioned for everyone to quiet down, then said, "Alright, I’ll play it for you all. This is my first ti officially playing this piece, so it might not be perfect, but I should be able to play it."
Tang Xia quickly motioned for everyone to quiet down, and they all pulled their chairs over, sitting around Yang Chen.
Tang Xia sat on the right, just able to see Yang Chen’s side profile, his high nose, and sharply defined features, fitting the image of the perfect celestial face.
Yang Chen adjusted his breathing, flexed his fingers, and then started to play.
It is said that "enduring.movent" was perford by two pianos simultaneously during filming, and only achieved the effect seen in the movie after post-production.
Therefore, in reality, no one can play it.
To play this piece, you must have two qualities.
First, exceptional piano skills. Even the slightest deficiency won’t do; perhaps only the number one pianist, Kissin, is at this level.
Second, the speed must be fast. Not just hand speed, but also thinking speed, reaction speed, and so on.
Think about it: if soone needs to do the work of two people in the sa amount of ti, simply calculating it, doesn’t their speed need to be twice as fast as normal?
Do such people exist in the world?
Of course they do!
Guinness World Record holder Ian Bisp can throw 13 punches in one second; doesn’t that surpass ordinary people by a huge margin?
Not just twice as fast, right?
And Yang Chen’s various abilities are at the pinnacle of human standards, so he can naturally throw 13 punches in one second as well.
Thus, his speed perfectly ets the requirents to play this piece.
One could say that among the fastest people, Yang Chen is the best at piano, and among the best pianists, Yang Chen is the fastest. It’s only reasonable that he can play this piece that no one else can currently complete.
As the passionate and beautiful piano music resonated in the practice room, Yang Chen’s fingers moved so fast they were almost a blur, astonishing the piano students around Tang Xia.
Is this really the hand speed of soone who’s been single for 25 years?
Even being single for 250 years wouldn’t result in such hand speed!
The companions cast envious glances at Tang Xia, as if saying, "Xiaxia, so envious you found a boyfriend with such fast hands. You must be very happy in the future."
At this mont, all of Tang Xia’s attention was on Yang Chen, completely oblivious to her companions’ envious looks.
The only hobby Tang Xia had in her life was the piano, and now she had t a piano prince worthy of the title of perfect; her heart was already captivated.
As Yang Chen pressed down on the final note, the entire piece was completed.
Everyone remained still, as if the room was still filled with the beautiful and passionate piano music. Now they understood what it ant to have lingering sounds.
"Whew..." Yang Chen let out a long breath.
This piece was indeed quite difficult; even Yang Chen, a man with seemingly superhuman abilities, felt exhausted after playing it.
"Not bad, I managed to get through it. So, do you guys still think this piece is hard? I can handle it by myself, so it’s not difficult." Yang Chen said with a smile.
It was only then that Tang Xia and the others ca back to their senses.
Everyone imdiately applauded and cheered.
"Brother Chen, amazing! Your hand speed from being single for 25 years is really sothing else. Xiaxia really thought ahead for her future happiness, picking such a boyfriend after careful selection."
"Isn’t that right? There were so many people pursuing Xiaxia before. That rich second-generation, Song Siming, practically begged on his knees for her, and Xiaxia didn’t even look at them. Turns out she was waiting for a boyfriend with extraordinary talent."
"Hey, hey, we agreed not to go there, why are you bringing it up again?"
"Guys, what are you saying? Don’t talk nonsense. We’re just ordinary friends."
Yang Chen even felt that he and Tang Xia weren’t really even ordinary friends; they were thinking too much.
Yang Chen: "Alright, everyone, stop joking. I’ve tailored sheet music for each of you based on your characteristics. Each of you only needs to complete your part. The key is to work in harmony; the sense of rhythm must be good. What does good rhythm an? It ans this piece should sound like it’s played by one person, not pieced together by several of you. Understand what I an?"
Tang Xia and the others nodded.
Yang Chen took a pen and paper and created personalized sheet music for each of them.
Once finished, Yang Chen said, "Each of you practice your section first, and I’ll co back tomorrow afternoon to hear the results. Your fate is in your own hands, so don’t regret it later. I’ll be off now, you guys keep practicing."
Tang Xia saw Yang Chen off and then hurried back to practice her part.
...
At this ti, at the Hai City Music Academy’s academic office.
Sun Ze Ping was reporting the situation to the head of the academic office, Hong Xiutao.
"I’ve co across a piano prodigy who’s definitely comparable to Kissin. A simple ’Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ played by him has the sa effect as Kissin. Isn’t our school hiring teachers? I think he should co for an interview. He’s currently a rideshare driver, which is such a waste of his talent." Sun Ze Ping said excitedly.
Hong Xiutao smiled and said, "Teacher Sun, you must be joking with ? Just from hearing him play a children’s song, you conclude he’s on the sa level as Kissin? That seems too arbitrary."
Sun Ze Ping: "I definitely won’t misjudge; he must be a genius. Besides, we’re just giving him an interview opportunity. Whether it works out or not still depends on his actual performance."
Sun Ze Ping had a high status at the school, so Hong Xiutao certainly had to give him face.
Hong Xiutao: "Alright then! Teacher Sun, bring him over and let the school’s piano teachers interview him. If more than two-thirds agree he’s okay, we can make an exception and hire him as a teacher."
Sun Ze Ping: "Great, I’ll go find him now."
...
Yang Chen had just dropped off a passenger when a call ca in from an unfamiliar number.
Yang Chen answered the call, saying hello.
"Hey, Yang Chen, how have you been lately?"
Yang Chen recognized it was his ex-girlfriend Zhao Feifei’s obnoxious friend Chen Xinyi, the sa one who had taken Zhao Feifei out to hook up with other n.
Yang Chen: "Why are you calling ? Looking for a scolding?"
Chen Xinyi: "Hahaha... After months, you’re still the sa. I heard you donated a teaching building to the university, costing tens of millions. Tsk tsk tsk... you’re doing well. You’re the second largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel and now donating buildings; you’ve been doing great since leaving Feifei. I’m getting married next Sunday and wanted to invite you."
Yang Chen: "Haha... Not interested, I don’t want to scold you at your wedding and ruin it for the groom’s family."
Chen Xinyi: "Hahaha... You make laugh. You don’t even ask who my husband is, and you’re ready to scold ? Dream on!"
Yang Chen: "Oh, from how you sound, you’ve snagged soone important? Haha... I get it, inviting to the wedding is just a pretense to show off. Go on, tell who it is, try and scare ."
Chen Xinyi: "Hahaha... Just co next Sunday, and you’ll find out. I promise you won’t be disappointed. He’ll leave you in the dust. Sunday, Haiyalantis Hotel, Hall No. 1, be there early. Zhao Feifei will be there, too. Don’t old lovers want to catch up?"
Yang Chen: "Catch up my ass! I don’t have ti to go!"
Chen Xinyi: "You’re just scared to co, aren’t you? Even if you don’t co, it won’t matter, I’ll definitely find you after the wedding for payback. Rember how you publicly scolded at the Peninsula Hotel? I haven’t forgotten a bit, and I will get my revenge. You can’t escape; co and admit your mistake openly."
Damn, she’s quite audacious.
Looks like she really has landed an impressive guy, otherwise, why be so confident?
Alright then, since I can’t avoid it, I’ll face it bravely, as always.
"Heh... Alright! I want to see what impressive person gives you such courage! Sunday, I’ll be there on ti! Hope you and your husband won’t disappoint !" Yang Chen replied.
Chen Xinyi: "Don’t worry! I assure you, you’ll be surprised! Friendly advice, bring enough sincerity, or my husband won’t be pleased, leaving you embarrassed."
Yang Chen: "Haha... Alright! I’ll make sure to bring enough sincerity!"
Chen Xinyi: "Great, I’ll hang up, I have to notify others."
After hanging up, Yang Chen smirked with disdain.
Damn, what kind of impressive figure could such a lowlife find?
Yang Chen sent a ssage to Haiyalantis CEO Huang Lvxie.
"President Huang, who’s getting married in Hall No. 1 next Sunday? Send their details."
