When Qin Jian returned to the Bulge Hotel, it was already 23:15.

As soon as he entered the house, Duan Ran surrounded him.

Qin Jian took off his coat, and Duan Ran obediently took it and hung it up.

The two sat on the edge of the bed and chatted for a while before going to take a shower.

Before going to bed, Qin Jian leaned against the head of the bed with Xiao Yi's score in his arms and passed it over again.

At 12 o'clock, the two turned off the lights and went to bed.

At 1 o'clock, the little fat section in his arms was already asleep, and Qin Jian couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He tried to force himself to fall asleep in various ways, but it didn't work well.

"Tomorrow by this time, the results should have been spread all over the world. ”

The thought of this made his heart beat faster inexplicably.

In the end, he found that he was still nervous for tomorrow's game.

He was nervous about the results.

"Are you afraid of losing?"

In the darkness, he dug out the deepest question that had been buried in his heart since the start of the competition.

Long.

"Don't be afraid. ”

...

It's been a long time.

"But I want to win. ”

...

...

On October 20th, the 17th edition of the Chopin Competition ushered in its final day.

Tonight at 21:00, the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall will be home to a new generation of Chopin Prize winners.

Starting at 8 a.m., all the television media in Warsaw turned their cameras on the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.

Supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls, office buildings, streets and alleys, every public screen shows the final countdown.

The countdown to the unveiling of Warsaw began, and all Warsawites waited for that scene.

Regardless of which face stands in the center of the final screen, today is a holiday for the people of Warsaw.

At 10:20 a.m., Qin Jian slowly opened his eyes from the bed.

He couldn't remember when he fell asleep, but he felt like he had a good night's sleep.

"Wake up. ”

Duan Ran's voice came, and he got up only to see that the other party had put a breakfast on the dining table, "Is there an omelette?"

"Of course. Duan Ran had an expression of I understand you

Qin Jian's teeth gritted, and he stood up from the bed, "Awesome!!"

Duan Ran laughed, "What are the nerves, go wash up." ”

Qin Jian got out of bed with a chicken coop, and when he passed by Duan Ran's side, he attacked the other party with his hand dishonestly.

"Ahh

Duan Ran exclaimed.

Qin Jian didn't wait for Duan Ran to react in action, and then ran into the bathroom with a puff of smoke.

"Like a child~"

Duan Ran pulled down the hem of her skirt and muttered quietly to continue to set up breakfast, she didn't plan to do anything at all.

...

After a hearty breakfast, Qin Jian went through Xiao Yi's band score again.

At 13:40 noon, Liao Linjun called to meet him.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

After Duan Ran sent Qin Jian out, he rummaged through the suitcase with his clothes from beginning to end.

Today is such an important day, she wants to be the most beautiful girlfriend.

...

Sika Restaurant is only 200 metres from Hotel Bulge.

As soon as Qin Jian walked into the main entrance of the restaurant, a waiter immediately recognized him, and then the people in the restaurant looked at him one after another.

Everyone seems to have seen something amazing.

Fortunately, Qin Jian has been accustomed to this kind of scene recently, and he will politely smile back in the face of passers-by who take the initiative to smile at him.

Liao Linjun waved his hand, and he walked over.

"Sister Lin Jun"

Qin Jian thought that Shen Qingci would also be there, "What about Teacher Shen?"

"He went to the venue. Liao Linjun pushed the menu, "Eat something light?"

Qin Jian waved his hand, "I've eaten Sister Lin Jun." ”

Liao Linjun nodded, then ordered a salad for himself and ordered a cup of hot water for Qin Jian.

When the waiter left, she asked, "How is it, there are still six hours, are you nervous?"

Qin Jian smiled honestly: "A little." ”

Liao Linjun felt that Qin Jian's state was not bad today, but she didn't just call the other party over at this time to see the other party's state.

As Qin Jian's teacher, there are some things she feels as necessary to explain to the other party before the finals.

Provided, of course, that the topic gets to that point.

Before that, she needed to determine some of the thoughts in Qin Jian's heart.

"A little bit," Liao Linjun smiled with her, "nervous what." ”

In the face of Liao Linjun, Qin Jian had nothing to hide.

"It's better to be a little nervous before you go on the pitch. He said confidently.

After last night's self-adjustment, his mentality has calmed down a lot now.

Liao Linjun was very satisfied with Qin Jian's attitude, and she asked Qin Jian what he thought of the performance of several players yesterday.

Qin Jian had seriously analyzed this issue with Duan Ran yesterday, and for the competition after the second round, his judging perspective has gradually shifted from a player to a judge.

"Fred's approach is a good academic direction, but I don't think it's a good fit for the ring. ”

"Natsuki made changes in many small places in the first movement, especially the third movement, which was almost the best I've ever heard her play. ”

"Belize's playing volume is not up to par, and it can be seen that Marek deliberately kept the volume of the orchestra down. ”

"What do Ivanov say, although his three movements sound very good overall, much more aware of the bigger picture than Belize, especially the second movement, which is more detailed than Natsuki's design, but his third movement is too misaligned, which seems to me to be a big problem, probably because he is not in good shape. ”

"I don't know what the judges' standards would make of Duan Ran's live performance, if I were a judge, I would like Duan Ran's version, but I would give a higher score to Richie. ”

"It's a competition after all, and it's not just about what you show on stage, it's about what you have to do under the stage. ”

"It's supposed to be something that comes with personal deep thinking, and deep thinking is based on a comprehensive insight into music, and there's no luck in the process. ”

"Of all the performances yesterday, Ricky seemed to me to be the best one of these 'outside-in' performances, whether it was timbre or music, I think she was right to choose Xiao Er. ”

After listening to this, Liao Linjun could only praise the other party in his heart for growing up so fast, not only in the piano performance.

She had almost heard Shen Qingci mention everything Qin Jian said last night, and she was even more objective.

But the more this happened, the more hesitant she was about whether to remind the other party to analyze the arena and make some psychological preparations at the same time.

The final arena is changing.

The young players are preoccupied with preparing for the last fight, but they don't know that there may be a long-planned conspiracy surging under the ring.

She wasn't sure, and neither was Shen Qingci.

Even for the 'Igraz upset' back then, no one has been able to come up with any evidence to prove that it was the dark box operation of the jury.

But Igraz did surprise everyone and left the ring early.

That year, the audience blew up, the media blew up.

The entire classical piano circle exploded, and Shen Qing chose to withdraw from the competition.

Because of this incident, after the Chopin Competition, the next two competitions lost a lot of color.

So five years later, she has plenty of reason to worry that history will repeat itself in a different way.

Everyone could see that this time, the Poles had the biggest Chopin competition ever.
