Many pianists, they put a lot of effort into the protection of their hands. So every time you see them playing the piano, they get screams. The pianist's opponent has a lot of investment, and many pianists have bought insurance for their hands to prevent injuries from being unable to play the piano. And this sum insured is also very outrageous.
The pianist I want to talk about this time, he not only bought a huge amount of insurance for his hands, but even the wife he married was also a pianist, he was Lang Lang. Although he has been blessed now, his hands are still so young, this is probably the difference between man and hand!
First, Lang Lang's past.
Although Lang Lang is a musician, the other people in the family are not low in their musical literacy. His grandfather was a music teacher, his father was a literary soldier, and although his mother was not engaged in the music industry, she was also a literary pioneer in the school and often participated in literary and artistic activities.
Under the influence of such an atmosphere, Lang Lang has loved music since he was a child and has a good musical talent. The reason why Lang Lang was associated with music was when he was two and a half years old, watching cartoons, when "Tom and Jerry" was playing on TV, ordinary children may have their eyes on Jerry and Tom, but Lang Lang's eyes were on the music in the cartoons.
The melodies in Tom and Jerry and Rhapsody No. 2 in Hungary were very attractive to Lang Lang, and as a young man, he did not know what rhapsody was or how to play the piece, but it was like magic that made Lang Lang fall in love with the piano.
Because of family reasons, Lang Lang's home has always been placed on a standing piano, after listening to the melody of the cartoon, Lang Lang played the basic melody on the piano, and the elders on the side were very surprised by this, thinking that Lang Lang was born to become a pianist. After that, the family also worked hard to cultivate Lang Lang to the aspect of music and help Lang Lang realize his musical ideals.
Because of talent and hard work, Lang Lang won the first place in the Shenyang Children's Piano Competition at the age of seven, which means that Lang Lang's musical talent is indeed very high, and he should go to a wider world to learn music.
Lang Lang's grandfather returned home and insisted that Lang Lang go to Beijing to continue his studies, despite his parents' objections. His parents worried that Lang Lang's age was too young and thought that this was too eager to succeed, but Lang Lang had already won the first place in the city's piano competition, which proved that this place was no longer suitable for Lang Lang's development. Out of helplessness and the psychology of Jackie Chan, Lang Lang's parents chose to compromise.
At the age of nine, Lang Lang was admitted to the small piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music with the first place, and even studied under the famous teacher Zhao Pingguo. Zhao Pingguo is also a well-known pianist in China, whose talent is outstanding and his qualifications are also very old.
Under the guidance of Zhao Pingguo, Lang Langqing was better than blue out of blue, and Lang Lang soon won the first place in the professional second group of the National Children's Piano Competition, which also proved Lang Lang's strength, which can be said to be the existence of the proud.
In 1994, Lang Lang set his sights on abroad. The piano is a Western instrument, no matter what, it belongs to the wider world of the piano or abroad. As a result, Lang Lang participated in the International Youth Piano Competition in Ettlingen, Germany, at his own expense, and won the first prize in the First Division.
The school saw Lang Lang's excellence, so a year later, the public sent Lang Lang to Japan to compete, and in the second Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition, Lang Lang lived up to expectations and won the first place.
For a time, Lang Lang's fame soared, and in terms of piano, Lang Lang was already a veritable everyone. Not only in our country, Lang Lang's strength in the world is also quite recognized. The world's leading piano manufacturer has specially produced the "Lang Lang Piano", which is also the first time in history that the manufacturer has named the piano after the name of the pianist. He was also the first Chinese pianist to be included in the ranks of the world's great artists.
Lang Lang's influence is great, and his resume has become rich and tall, all thanks to Lang Lang's own strength. The piano, a Western instrument, is really played by Lang Lang, and he deserves to become an international piano master.
Second, Lang Lang's hand, gold is very expensive.
What is the impression of a pianist? Is it elegant or noble? Or is it confident? However, my impression of pianists is mainly in their hands. Everyone can see that the pianist's hand is really precious!
Many world famous songs require the speed of the keys to be in place, and the hand speed of the ceiling is dazzling, and ordinary people really can't do it through training. Therefore, if you want to become a pianist, you really need a little talent, that is, the fingers are flexible and symmetrical and slender.
When Lang Lang was on the program of "SpitTing Conference", Li Zhi did not dare to shake hands with him, for fear of being touched by porcelain and leading to bankruptcy. His hand has become the focus of everyone's complaints, and everyone exclaimed: Lang Lang's hand is a sky-high hand! In fact, Lang Lang also responded to this matter, and the reason why he was responsible for the high insurance in his hands was because he was responsible for the piano business. In fact, he bought insurance for his whole body, but he only focused on his own hands. After all, the piano must be played by hand, otherwise how to play?
Because he was responsible for the piano business, Lang Lang did not even dare to touch his favorite small animal when he saw it, for fear that if he was not careful, his hand would be scratched. Some difficult repertoire, the opponent's requirements are very high, not only the flexibility of the hand, its stretch requirements are also very strict. If the hand is injured, it will definitely affect the quality of the repertoire, and it will make the pianist himself feel uncomfortable and unable to present the best state.
At home, his wife, Gina Alice, also almost never let Lang Lang do housework. Although Gina Alice herself is not very good at housework, she still insists on doing housework herself. Moreover, even when he was away, Lang Lang never carried his suitcase, and it was Gina Alice who took care of it. People say that Lang Lang's hands are too expensive, and he can only play the piano and hold Gina Alice's hand for the rest of his life.
Third, for their own hands, on the insurance.
Even though Lang Lang recognized the fact that he had insured his hands, he never responded positively to the specific amount. As a result, the outside world began to spread wildly, saying that Lang Lang had hundreds of millions of insurance in his hands. Although this amount is exaggerated, looking at Lang Lang's own performance, it is obvious that there are not hundreds of millions of dollars, but the specific amount is certainly not a lot.
From his young age to the present, all of Lang Lang's life revolves around the piano, so the hand is crucial for Lang Lang. If he can no longer play the piano because his hand is injured, it will be a huge loss for the piano community.
4. Gina Alice and Lang Lang.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, many of Lang Lang's international tours were forced to be cancelled, and during this period, Lang Lang was also invited to participate in many variety shows. Lang Lang, who has a northeastern accent, and Gina Alice, who is gradually biased by him, seem to be very grounded, and everyone gradually abandons Lang Lang's dazzling achievements, just seeing the directness and humor of a northeasterner.
The duo were married in 2019, and at that time, people envied Lang Lang for being able to marry Gina Alice. Gina Alice in the photo, her perfect figure and good looks, shock people's eyes. But Gina Alice herself is actually not simple, and she is also an excellent pianist, although not as good as Lang Lang, but it is enough to prove that she can fit Lang Lang very well.
Gina Alice is a mixed German-Korean, born in Germany, studied music from an early age, and is a piano genius who can perform alone at the age of eight. Later, she won awards in various youth competitions, and her teachers were also well-known piano masters.
Compared with the piano, Gina Alice's voice is also good, and the pitch brought by learning music since childhood, coupled with her sweet voice, allowed her to sing Chinese promotional song in "Frozen 2". Gina Alice's superior stage image has attracted her a lot of attention.
In 2019, the two pianists had a wedding at the Palace of Versailles in France, and at the grand wedding, there were many well-known musicians, and Gina Alice was very happy because she was with her idol. Yes, it is an idol, you don't look at Lang Lang's appearance is not a male god level, but his strength is indeed worthy of Gina Alice's idol.
Before that, the two met in Berlin, Germany, when Gina Alice, her identity was Lang Lang's peer, the same as a pianist, the two also had a lot of topics, and they couldn't finish talking along the way. And Lang Lang also had a good feeling for this beautiful and cheerful girl. Although they are twelve years younger, the two have exchanged hearts and minds in the two years of interaction.
The love that dances on the keys of the piano makes onlookers call out that the sweetness is too high, and single people can't stand it. The music with its own romantic atmosphere adds a layer of fairy tale sense to the two, which makes people exclaim: fairy tales come true!
The two participated in the second season of "Happiness Trio" together, and the audience was invariably stuffed with a handful of dog food. Compared with the two people's excellent income, the daily life of the two is extremely simple, without luxury and show off, just like the life of ordinary people. In the show, the most persistent thing is that Gina Alice always cares about the body, but Lang Lang is blessed. Compared to Gina Alice's slow chewing and swallowing of small bites, Lang Lang seems a little rude, but the two just look at each other and smile, really a pair of mythical beauties.
In the show, Gina Alice's eyes have been following Lang Lang, and the love and adoration in her eyes are about to overflow. Lang Lang seems to have a layer of filter in Gina Alice's eyes, no matter what Lang Lang does, Lang Lang is the best, the most handsome!
Playing together to look at each other affectionately, the same on the show, these two people who are not very good at housework, even cooking a noodle together are sweet and explosive. In particular, Lang Lang always speaks a Northeastern Mandarin, and even takes Gina Alice aside. Can you imagine a girl who looks noble and elegant, but opens her mouth in Northeastern dialect with a foreign accent? It's a joyous one.
Compared with the remuneration of the show, the couple values the time they spend together. Is Lang Lang busy? Of course, it is very busy, there are endless songs, endless touring performances, always running around, the real days that can be idle, can only be during the epidemic.
In fact, Lang Lang is very grounded in private, and only in the piano will he show a professional charm that is different from ordinary people. Gina Alice's admiration for Lang Lang has reached a point where lang Lang is indispensable. When she introduced Lang Lang to others, she looked very proud. Feelings are so pure, it makes people a little envious of Gina Alice and Lang Lang. Lang Lang also unceremoniously gave his care and gentleness to Gina Alice, although Gina Alice is very good at Lang Lang, but Lang Lang will also learn to give in and compromise.
As a man, Lang Lang may be a little awkward and not good at expressing, on the contrary, Gina Alice is very enthusiastic and expresses the Western concept of feelings very thoroughly. It is worth mentioning that Gina Alice also has the emotional pulse of an oriental woman.
The relationship between the two has always been fair, Lang Lang's efforts in the piano career have shown their due responsibility in some major events, and Gina Alice is naturally responsible for the family, she respects Lang Lang and loves Lang Lang. These two people tolerate and considerate each other, and such love is estimated to be encountered only if the earth is saved in the previous life!
5. Some controversies.
Because of the impact of the epidemic, Lang Lang and Gina Alice were forced to idle at home, and participated in many variety shows during this period. At this time, in addition to envying the love of Lang Lang and Gina Alice, some ill-intentioned people began to speculate whether it was because Lang Lang wanted to transform, after all, it was faster to participate in variety shows.
The reason why everyone has such a guess is because Lang Lang's hand is actually injured. Although the hand is carefully protected, it will still hurt. In 2017, Lang Lang issued a statement saying that his left arm accidentally became inflamed due to the impact of the flu, and even more when playing difficult songs, because of the doctor's advice, Lang Lang decided to rest for a period of time to restore his left arm.
Therefore, there are many people speculating now that Lang Lang is because his hand is injured and cannot return to his former appearance, so he participates in variety shows so often and wants to transform.
In fact, there is no need to worry so much, because Lang Lang was injured as early as 2018, and Lang Lang at that time was already in a very good state, but he only had some shadows on the song "Left Hand Piano Concerto", because he was injured by playing this piece.
In fact, piano playing also needs to be warmed up, because the violent playing of the fingers can easily lead to cramps or injuries. During the days when he was injured and could not play, Lang Lang did not put down the practice of the piano.
In fact, if you really want to talk about the transformation, there should still be some, but this transformation means that Langlang's focus has shifted from abroad to abroad. Obviously, in the past few years, Lang Lang has made many more appearances in China. Compared with the past, lang lang now has no need to participate in frequent competitions. He's more about preparing for his own show than running around the race. Lang Lang is very good, he is the bright star of China's piano industry. His hands are certainly delicate, after all, everyone's profession is different, and we should choose to respect and be considerate.
