Chapter 457 Immortal Movement
There was no one to blow out the flame of the cigarette.

It looks like a flickering candle.

It was just this glimmer of light that literally blinded the titanium alloy dog ​​eyes of everyone present.

Are the strings hot enough to light a cigarette after playing? !
Isn't this the effect of props made in advance?

Lu Jiu couldn't help pushing Da Liu who was next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Did you add flavor to that smoke?"

It is a common routine for prop groups that he thinks this way.

The so-called "material" actually refers to a substance called cellulose nitrate.

Cellulose nitrate is also known as "cold fire", which can catch fire on hands without hurting hands, and the higher the degree of nitration, the lower the burning temperature!
This kind of thing uses a little white phosphorus as the ignition material to catch fire in an instant, and it can be placed on paper without burning the paper.

It is my favorite for special effects.

Da Liu reacted in shock, then shook his head violently and said, "No! The cigarettes I prepared are ordinary cigarettes without filter tips..."

"hiss!"

People around who heard the conversation between the two gasped in unison!

See the hell!

When I was reading the script, I still thought about using special props to make up this shot at the end, but I didn’t expect Gao Shuang to do it? ! !

This girl is amazing! ! !

It was not only Lu Jiu and Da Liu who were shocked, everyone present was dumbfounded.

The scene in front of him surpassed human cognition.

How can this be?

Even witnessing the whole process cannot dispel the doubts in people's hearts.

Can played strings really light a cigarette? ! !
Among the hundreds of people at the scene, the only one who could see the way was probably Murong Cheng.

He barely had an idea in his mind that could explain it, and this was the association he had after noticing Gao Shuang's footsteps.

It's not hard to play the piano and get the strings to heat up, and he can do that too.

It can even make the strings of individual registers hot in the high-speed treble trellis!

It can be hot and reach the ignition point of a cigarette, and the difference between them cannot be counted.

He believed that even if Gao Shuang and the two of him worked together to complete this piece of four-hand continuous playing with a rhythm of 180 beats per minute, it would be impossible to make the strings ignite cigarettes in the end.

The key to Gao Shuang's ability to do this is not in the hands, but precisely the magic high-speed pedal switch! ! !
A basic physical concept is involved here.

Under the same vibration amplitude, forcibly suppressing the vibration amplitude with external force will increase the vibration frequency.

This is what the muffler pedal does.

Correspondingly, under the same vibration amplitude, the longer the vibration period, the more complete the work!

This is where the sustain pedal comes into play.

Under the physical intervention of these two pedals, the vibrating work of the piano strings is geometrically improved compared to the ordinary playing method.

Only then did he finally achieve the feat of lighting a cigarette with the strings in one fell swoop after the performance was completed!
If Gao Shuang continues to play, the strings may be melted, or the wooden structure of the piano may be damaged!

In fact, just now, many pianos have lost their pitch due to string overheating and metal fatigue.

Murong Cheng can think of this point, which is also the experience summed up from long-term piano training, whether it is right or not is still uncertain.

From the current point of view, this is the only reasonable explanation.

However, others were either surprised or puzzled, and Gao Shuang, who was the party involved, had already made up his mind before lighting a cigarette.

He had already tried it during practice last night, and he could indeed set the paper on fire!

And he happily ordered half of the script, and only when he came in the morning did he angrily clean up the paper dust all over the floor.

Literally speaking, a little spirituality is not much, but the help to Gao Shuang in terms of musical instruments is beyond imagination!
After using the skill clearing manual, Gao Shuang instantly felt like a piano idiot.

All kinds of music that could be played smoothly before suddenly seemed to be completely forgotten.

This feeling of being forcibly erased is terrible!

It even made Gao Shuang feel at a loss when facing 88 black and white keys.

However, this panic did not last long.

He just tapped the keys one by one in a one-finger technique. When 88 different tones sounded one by one, he felt that a hidden ability in the depths of his soul was activated at this moment!

Afterwards, she completely subconsciously followed the sound she just heard, and played the song "Little Star" clearly with her feeling!
That's right, it's just the simplest "Little Star".

There is no hand-holding accompaniment, no huayin show off, just the most plain basic tone!
But it was the simplest piece of music that Gao Shuang found out that he was different from before.

After he lost the system's skill bonus, he forgot too many things.

Skills, fingering, and even some slightly difficult piano knowledge have become blurred.

But he has a unique musicality.

After touching the piano, it is as if the piano has become one with oneself!
When a certain tune sounded in his mind, he didn't need to think about the key position at all, he could subconsciously raise his hand and accurately touch the position that should belong to that note!

Moreover, he also found that he could distinguish the subtle differences between different sounds.

Just as he was about to pour himself a glass of water to refresh himself, the water glass collided lightly and made a light "ding".

Gao Shuang almost blurted out: "Treble microphone..."

After subconsciously uttering this note, Gao Shuang's hair shrugged involuntarily.

He quickly ran to the piano and accurately pressed the button of the high-pitched microphone.

He didn't need to make any more comparisons, he could be sure that this was exactly the same as the sound of the cups colliding just now!

Then Gao Shuang took the cup over, poured a little water into it, and hit the cup with the kettle again to make a soft sound.

Every time he can play exactly the same tone on the piano as when hitting the water glass.

After trying many times, Gao Shuang finally confirmed one thing excitedly.

This bit of spirituality brought him a "superpower" called "absolute pitch"! ! !
Absolute pitch specifically refers to the specific pitch of a sound that can be distinguished without a reference tone.

Most of this kind of ability is innate, and it is rare among ordinary people. It can be said to be one in a million, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a superpower.

People with absolute pitch can distinguish the tone from the noise that is usually not noticed by people, and even can distinguish the individual sound name and location of a group of sounds.

On the earth, there are not too many people who have been proved to have absolute pitch, and Ludwig van Beethoven, the greatest composer in the history of music, is one of them.

So is Charles Camille Saint-Saëns, founder of the French Folk Music Society!
Saint-Saëns was born in Paris, France, and his father died a few months after his birth.

Saint-Saëns' mother and aunt are both music lovers. Under their influence, Saint-Saëns has recognized the wonder of music since he was a baby, and has shown a strong interest in all the sounds around him.

Saint-Saëns learned the piano with his aunt when he was two years old, and soon knew how to compose music. His first piano works are still preserved in the National Library of France.

And the famous musician Mozart!
At the age of 7, he was so short that he could barely see the top of the harpsichord, but he captivated the hearts of the audience with his superb skills in playing the instrument.

It seemed unbelievable that such a young child could play so well.

But Mozart had another skill that surprised people even more.

When the young Mozart heard the key played by a certain instrument, no matter what key it was, he could immediately and accurately identify it.

What's more, it can also distinguish the key of any sound that sounds like music enough!
For example, the time of the clock, the ringing of the big bell, and the sound of people sneezing.

At the time, most adult musicians, even the most experienced, could not match Mozart in pitch.

His genius in this area was even more remarkable at the time than his talent in piano and violin.

These world-renowned celebrities are all beneficiaries of absolute pitch. With their outstanding ability in talent and spirituality, they are famous all over the world in music creation, and they are amazing!

It is said that Jay Chou is also a genius with absolute pitch, and his absolute pitch has been verified in many programs.

In "The Most Powerful Brain", Jay Chou guessed the 4 keyboard sounds in the dark places of the 4 audiences.

"Chinese Dream Show" Jay Chou turned his back to the piano, listened to the 3 notes played by the audience, and wrote a short piece of music with these 3 notes accurately.

After understanding the concept of absolute pitch, it is very clear to look at the performance of 1900 when he touched the piano for the first time in the movie.

In the movie, 1900 is also a "superpower" with absolute pitch!
And how similar is Gao Shuang's performance after clearing his musical instrument ability to 1900's appearance in the movie?
After clearly realizing what he had gained, Gao Shuang began to try to play new pieces with excitement.

What fingering, what music theory, all left behind by him.

As long as the heart thinks, you can use your fingers to realize it on the piano!
"Silent Night", "Counting Ducks", "Two Tigers"...!
All kinds of world famous songs can be said to be at your fingertips.

Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with these mediocre world famous songs, and began to try to play some popular music accompaniments.

As the difficulty of the pieces he tried to play gradually increased, Gao Shuang soon encountered a bottleneck.

The lack of playing technique made him scrambled in many variations and ensembles.

But he also knows that these things cannot be supplemented by absolute pitch in a short time. Musical instruments still have to be practiced!

Faced with such a predicament, Gao Shuang is not a pedantic person either. He sacrificed his banknote ability and instantly refilled his musical instrument ability.

This time, he didn't use the skill enhancement manual again, and just restored his musical instrument level to the tenth level of "amateur".

What he needs is not the music knowledge in these memories, but only the basic skills that he needs to use!

For things like basic skills, level ten "amateur" is enough!
After becoming familiar with the playing techniques again, Gao Shuang felt as comfortable as a dragon entering the sea when he touched the piano again.

"Nocturne", "Steel Torrent March"!
Piano pieces of various difficulties are like playthings in his hands, where the heart goes and the sound goes! ! !
He even tried to challenge "Flight of the Bumblebee".

Many audiences around the globe believe that the last piece of music played in 1900 was Flight of the Bumble Bee.

In fact, there is some truth to this feeling.

Because the two tracks are of the same origin, they both come from the violin solo piece composed by Rimsky Korsakov for the opera "The Story of King Satan".

The two pieces of music have a common feature, the technique is very difficult!
But at least Flight of the Bumblebee can be played solo, a simplified solo version of Enduring Movement.

To challenge the full version of "Flight of the Bumblebee" with an amateur tenth level, Gao Shuang never thought about it before.

But on this night, he managed to pull off the feat!

When he tried to challenge "Enduring Movement" with great ambitions, he hit the ashes again.

Gao Shuang found that if "Enduring Movement" is to be played solo, the difficulty lies not in being fast.

"Bumblebee" is played at a similarly fast tempo, and faster piano pieces are also present.

The biggest difficulty is that the fingering span is too large, and the keys spanning seven or eight ranges at the same time, the hands can't take care of them at all.

The performers of this piece in the original film are piano soloists Gilda Butta and Amedeo Tommasi.

Only two heavyweight piano soloists can perform the music perfectly. No matter from any point of view, this piece is a piece of pure virtuosity.

In one night, Gao Shuang tried more than a dozen times but couldn't play a single passage.

If you force to play, the biggest possibility is to sprain your fingers!

If he hadn't locked the limit state of his body with the limit badge, his hand could have been declared useless at this moment.

Knowing that there was nothing to be done, Gao Shuang sat in front of the piano and thought hard for a long time.

Perhaps it was that bit of spirituality that opened up Gao Shuang's musical instruments.

Until the first ray of sunlight entered the banquet hall, Gao Shuang, who was bored and stepped on the sustain pedal under the piano, suddenly realized!

Grasping that glimmer of inspiration, he quickly tried it out.

Ok……

Get on your feet and try...!
The method is feasible, but it is also difficult to realize it!

Ten fingers are not enough to cope with the speed of playing up to 180 per minute.

Two feet control two pedals, how difficult is it to keep up with the finger speed of 180? ! !

The pedals under the feet were switched and stepped on at a high speed, and it really stepped on flowers.

Even the whole body trembled...

In the words of professional e-sports players, if the APM of hands and feet cannot reach 1100, don't try this kind of operation.

He tried piece by piece, using this new technique of hands and feet to break through the technical limit little by little.

At the same time, it is also refreshing the legend of the music industry!

When the crew entered the stage one after another, with the support of the extreme badge, Gao Shuang finally won the whole song!

Although I haven't had a complete joint practice, I already have a bottom line in my heart.

During the official filming, the performance took less than 2 minutes, but the energy consumed was no less than that of running a marathon, or even worse.

At this moment, he was out of breath, and immediately the camera was completely silent, as if he had encountered an ice age and no one even moved.

Holding a burning cigarette, Gao Shuang walked towards Murong City step by step.

"You smoke, I don't know how to smoke."

Gao Shuang walked up to the dumbfounded Murong Cheng, and stuffed the cigarette into Murong Cheng's mouth.

You win!
This round won outright!

The applause roared and the crowd thawed, the lady screamed and found her wig fell off, the rich man also screamed, and the cigars were about to light their crotches.

The exclamations of Chinese and foreign actors with southern accents and northern accents resounded together!
"God, what is this!"

"God, this..."

"What track is this? The dense notes sound like they're going to explode!"

"Is this the true strength of Wang Quhuang?"

"It feels like I just took half of Zhao's main camera and didn't shoot anymore..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the camera can't keep up with Director Gao Shuang's hand speed."

"This piano piece is amazing!"

"Ah, I'm going crazy, I feel like I'm suffocating, this horrible hand speed, my God, this..."

"Is this really the level of piano that humans can achieve?"

"God! What did I hear? Who can tell me what I heard!!!"

"..."

When Gao Shuang walked away, Murong Cheng completely ignored the working camera, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What... is this song?"

Gao Shuang didn't turn around, and raised his hand in a somewhat exhausted way:

""Enduring Movement", also called... "Immortal Movement"!"
