732. The Bombshell Strikes!
At this time.
The lobby on the first floor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall was packed with people.
At a glance, it is already difficult to distinguish which are the reporters and which are the audience in the crowd of figures.
Among them are the family and friends of the players, or a few big people.
Only 11 contestants gathered at the front of the stairs, each with a different expression.
Security personnel separated them from the crowd.
It's like separating two worlds.
On one side is a carnival field, and on the other side is a place of silence.
Time passed minute by minute.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when the doors of the concert hall opened.
For the players, this kind of process is really painful and indescribable.
Having come to this point, no one will refuse that searing expectation in the deepest part of their hearts.
Even if it's slim.
...
Another quarter of an hour passed.
It was nearly 10 p.m.
The temperature in the hall is getting hotter.
The crowd is getting more and more agitated.
At this moment, I don't know who was the first to see the door of the concert hall pushed open.
There was an instant commotion, and everyone looked at it.
"Whoopββββββββββββββ-
Led by Branhano and Paconro, the two were the first to walk out of the gate, and behind them came one judge after another.
Finally, all the judges, including Marek, and two notaries walked up the steps.
The majestic jury appeared collectively, and the restless atmosphere in the hall was completely suppressed.
'Click'
'Click'
'Click'
Branhano walked up the stairs to the wheat rack, this time without taking out a piece of paper.
In the face of countless cameras and looking up, he still didn't have any politeness.
Looking around, he exhaled.
The silence grew even more tense as he exhaled.
"First of all, the list of individual winners of this competition will be announced. β
The players' hearts were tight, for the vast majority of the 11 people, the single award may be the only award they can compete for.
"The best player in Polonaiseβ"
"Player No. 57, Qin Jian. β
His voice had just fallen.
"Ahh
A scream pierced the quiet arena.
"Whoopββββββββββββββββ
Whistles fill the hall in an instant!
Duan Ran shook the seemingly calm party violently like a little fan girl who had lost her mind.
Ivanov, Fang Zongyao, Xia Shu, and even several European players, including Fred, threw congratulations to Qin Jian.
The reporters' cameras grabbed Qin Jian's direction almost at the same time!
The jury behind Branhano also applauded the crowd, and the final result represented the jury, regardless of the selection process.
They should have applauded and congratulated the No. 57 player.
In the corner of the crowd.
He Jing's mood was no less than Duan Ran's, she and Fang Xuehua held hands tightly.
Qin Gang trembled on the side.
The old bartender blew a gorgeous whistle again, "Jian!!"
Liao Linjun's face was full of pride, and anyone could see it.
Shen Qingci didn't look surprised at all, and Igraz gave him a thumbs up: "You won again." β
As the atmosphere gradually quieted down, the camera pulled back to the parties.
Qin Jian exhaled lightly and said that it was fake to be unhappy, but this award was not what he valued.
He continued to wait.
...
"Best Sonata Playerβ"
Branhano spoke again:
"No. 15, Simon Edmundo. β
The scene was lively again, and the fanatical Poles frantically shouted Edmundo's name.
Edmundo's expression was by no means as if he had known the outcome in advance.
He bowed deeply three times to the shouting crowd, and when he won this award, he was even more confident in his heart.
On the contrary, the expressions of some of the other players have darkened a little, and the two awards that have been announced are the ones they have the best chance to fight for.
Because they know that of the two remaining individual awards, Mazurka is the most important single award, and no one dares to expect it.
And the concerto, that's the standard for the gold medal winners.
At this point, more than half of the players no longer have hope.
"Best Mazurka Playerβ"
Branhano has accelerated his progress:
"Player No. 13, Duan Ran. β
Duan Ran was momentarily stunned, and then she looked around blankly.
It turned out that everyone was looking at her, and the countless flashing lights made her feel like she was in a fantasy.
Whistling screams pull her back to reality.
"Congratulations. β
Qin Jian couldn't say anything else but congratulations.
He is happy that with this award, Duan Ran's future career will be much better.
But it was undeniable that he never thought that Mazurka would end up on Duan Ran's head.
This is the truth of his heart.
The various congratulations on the scene made Xiaopang Duan dizzy, but fortunately, Qin Jian held her hand tightly.
But there was no time for her to ask why.
The Mazurka Prize has been announced, and all that remains is the final Concerto Prize.
The ultimate jackpot.
...
"Best Concerto Performer βββββ"
As Branhano spoke again, there was a moment of silence.
The next award is almost announcing the winner of this year's Gold Award.
Ricky, Adams, Edmonds, Qin Jian, Fang Zongyao, and Xia Shu, the six of them had different expressions.
But the solemn atmosphere seemed to decide their fate at this moment
10,000 times heavier than on the final object.
Fred seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, and he shook his head with his back uncontrollably.
A second is as long as a century.
"Player 12, Ricky Dora. β
As Branhano's calm voice streaked across the hall.
As if the dust had settled,
At the moment when the scene is about to erupt into a final.
"No. 66, Adams Yoda. β
Branhano didn't pause for a moment, announcing a name again.
The voice fell, like a bombshell-
Falling from a high altitude, it smashed in the center of the scene with a 'boom'!
The hall exploded in an instant!
"What's the situation!?"
"Double Concerto Award!?"
Not only the contestants, but everyone present except for the judges on the steps showed extremely surprised looks.
Even an avid old Chopin fan shouted in Polish to question the jury's result β "Is it wrong!?"
There have been two Polonaise Awards in history, as well as double Mazurka awards.
But there has never been a Double Concerto Award!
Does this mean that there will be two Gold Award winners this year?
One has to guess at that.
The contestants were more like a roller coaster ride.
The current situation is unheard of by everyone present, let alone the young players who are at the center of the maelstrom.
Although the final ranking results have not yet been announced, they are currently being announced.
With the exception of Ricky and Adams, the rest of the squad doesn't seem to be competitive.
...
Ricky's expression was complicated and indescribable at the moment
The moment she heard that her serial number was announced, her first reaction was surprise, incomparably surprised.
After listening to today's performance of the five people, she really didn't have much confidence to compete with Qin Jian and Adams.
But she thought she had been favored by providence for once.
But when Adams' name then rang out.
She messed up.
