At the end of a relaxed and happy meal, outside the restaurant, Zhou Boren explained to his younger brothers and sisters again, and then turned his eyes to the old man.

"Boren, you can also get busy, Xiao Shizuko will send me back. ”

The crowd dispersed.

As one of the domestic invited judges of the competition, the old man's residence was arranged in a luxury hotel next to the main competition.

The master and apprentice duo chatted as they had done before, and walked towards the hotel.

Back at the hotel, it was forty minutes later.

As soon as she entered the house, He Jing boiled a pot of hot water for the first time.

"Xiao Jingzi, what I said just now, I hope you can think carefully when you go back. ”

The old man sat on the edge of the bed, looked at He Jing's busy back, and sighed slightly, always feeling a little sorry for this student he was most proud of.

Talented, able to endure hardships, not arrogant or impatient, and the temperament image is needless to say, one out of all.

The coexistence of the two extremes of complexity and purity, and the subtle moments full of strangeness burst out from time to time in her music, which is extremely rare to have a very personal character.

In Zhou Rong's 40-year piano teaching career, He Jing is unique.

It's just too strong, there was obviously a better choice back then, hey...

"Teacher. ”

He Jing came over with a cup of hot tea, interrupting the old man's thoughts.

"Put it here," the old man looked up, a look of complexity flashing across his expression.

"I'll keep the guaranteed spot for you until September, I hope you don't miss the winter school over there. ”

The old man's expression, He Jing could read it, and his jaw was about to speak.

"Okay, let's not talk about it today. The old man waved his big hand slightly, "It's still early, don't worry, there is another matter to call you over." ”

"Teacher, you speak. ”

He Jing pushed the water cup down in front of the old man and sat down herself.

There was a brief silence.

"For that student of yours, Lin Jun's evaluation is extremely talented. ”

He Jing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Senior sister, she has won the award." ”

The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I know Liao Yatou's character too well, but she can make such an evaluation, which can only show that the actual situation of the child may not be better than I expected." ”

"And at this age, it is no longer a matter of skill or not, I think you know what I mean," the old man raised his head and stared at He Jing, "none of us can predict that he will be able to play to a certain extent in a year's time." ”

He Jing naturally understood the old man's words, and now recalling the moment when he heard Qin Jian play the revolutionary etude on the spot, He Jing could still feel the trembling of the skin all over his body.

It's not just the superficial fluidity, the dexterous finger movement, and even the precise division of the phrases that no longer matter.

And his natural flow of performance and natural interpretation of the work is enough to daunt most pianists.

The old man paused.

"Moreover, the qualifiers for the next Shaw race are not far away."

The old man's words seemed to have some kind of special rhythm, but He Jing's expression changed subtly again, and his heart beat faster rhythmically.

Shaw will be held for the 17th time next year, and according to the usual practice, the global pre-selection should be opened at the end of this year, so it is indeed not far off......

Chopin International Piano Competition.

One of the oldest competitions in piano history, and the most prestigious piano competition in the world, it is held every five years.

Regarding this competition, in addition to the common-sense knowledge reserve that a person from a piano academy should have, He Jing's cognition is only endless fantasy...

He Jing didn't know how many young modern pianists were recorded here, nor how many immortal legends on the piano performance calendar were witnessed here, but He Jing was sure.

It's a battlefield about pianists.

The characters who can stand to the end will all make a name for themselves in the world of piano without exception and be recorded in the Hall of Fame in the history of piano development.

"Qin Jian, revolution, Xiao Sai in the near future..."

What exactly does the teacher want to express...

He Jing's eyes became more and more puzzled, and slowly looked into the old man's eyes.

"I want to give this kid a special spot. ”

"Prepare for the Shaw race. ”

......

Qin Jian finally opened his eyes unwillingly, and said goodbye to the beach and thighs in his dream.

He glared angrily at the ceiling, and then helplessly glanced at the next door.

For a while, my mind was full of swearing.

The sound insulation effect of the 8-day chain was already poor, coupled with the incomparable penetrating power of the trumpet above his head and the devilish trilling of the violin next door, Qin Jian finally couldn't sleep.

It's just a short lunch break, is there a concert ready in the corridor?

“16:20。 ”

It seemed that the sleep time was not short, and with a sigh, Qin Jian turned on the penguin.

【+3 Qianqian Knot】

Qin Jian clicked at the head of the dog.

13:19:54Qianqianjie: Excessive!!

13:21:53 A picture, vaguely a table

13:27:44Qianqianjie: Thank you no, remember to owe me a meal!

This time, Qin Jian vaguely sensed who it was, and clicked on the other party's information again.

Really.

In the album, a person sitting in front of the piano comparing scissorhands is not Lin Zihui, who is it?

It's pretty cute, but the photo is from two years ago.

Qin Jian stepped back and opened the picture.

"What is this?"

"Piano Contestants!?"

Now Qin Jian's spirit.

The top of the table is printed with the words piano group, and on the left side is clearly printed a vertical row of names, and the top row from left to right are the three columns of "gender", "selection unit" and "instructor".

Swallowing his saliva, Qin Jian didn't look for his name for the first time, but followed the serial number one by one.

Qin Jian didn't have any impression of the first few names, but as his gaze moved downward, one by one the familiar names collapsed from the memory in his mind.

Zhao Yinuo, the name Qin Jian heard about it after the Chai competition in 2015.

Second prize in the piano category of the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition, and this time the first prize was vacant.

As the world's top music event on a par with Chaussey, Chaisai's weight goes without saying.

The result was announced on the spot, and then caused a sensation in the entire domestic classical music circle, and after the competition, foreign media compared her to Argerich as a teenager.

At that time, many people in the industry thought that this analogy was exaggerated, after all, it was unconvincing to compare a 19-year-old oriental girl with the world's greatest female pianist, but it did prove the strength of the former from the side.

Zhao Yinuo, elected by the Haishi Musicians Association, elected by Zhou Rong.

Skipping Zhao Yinuo, Qin Jian continued to watch.

......

Qin Jian, elected by the Quanzhou Provincial Musicians Association, elected by Lin Jiahui.

Shame play.

.....

Duan Ran?

This name is much stronger than Li Zhuangzhuang just now, but what attracted Qin Jian was that there was no information in this line except for the name.

Judging from the whole list, there will be some players who have not selected the unit, but there will definitely be a candidate, does this guy not even have a gender?

In general, as of now, the impression is that in recent years, the piano competitions of large and small youth groups in China have basically been contracted by the people on this list.

Feng Ziyan, elected by the Yanjing Musicians Association, Wu Qing.

"How could it be him?!"

Seeing the last two lines, Qin Jian was dumbfounded, why would he be the candidate in the Yanjing region.

About this seal words.

Qin Jian didn't know how to evaluate him, he could only say that when he graduated from college, no one in the domestic jazz piano circle could beat him.

After reading it completely, Qin Jian also had a general impression of his competitors, and even some of them had already been expected.

"Wait a minute. ”

Suddenly, Qin Jian frowned.

After carefully looking at the list from beginning to end, Qin Jian half-squinted his eyes, deep in memory, and seemed to be trying to determine a certain point.

"Not true. ”

There is one name missing from this list.

......

"What about the champion?"
