Reporter: "Good answer, she'll see this interview after tonight." ”

Qin Jian: "I really like a lot of Chopin pianists, but I can't say whose performance I like the most, I don't listen to enough." ”

Reporter: "I see, is it convenient to reveal a track for the next round at the end?"

Qin Jian: "Second Sonata." ”

Reporter: "Thank you, looking forward to your performance." ”

...

After the interview, Qin Jian called He Jing, and on the phone, He Jing knew that Qin Jian was still busy, so he asked him to be busy with his own affairs first.

What he meant was that his family was with Liao Linjun.

"Let's go to dinner first, and we'll be in touch when we have something. He Jing finally said, "Today's performance is good, and Mr. Qin said that he is very satisfied." ”

Seeing this, Qin Jian didn't say anything more, it stands to reason that he should have a meal with his family today, but Duan Ran will be on stage tomorrow, and he decided to invite everyone to eat after the second round of the competition.

After hanging up the phone, he took Duan Ran to dinner.

...

"Wouldn't that be bad? ”

On the way to the restaurant, Duan Ran felt unsure, she stopped, "Why don't you go, I'll go back and sleep for a while, and I'll talk about it when you come back." ”

Qin Jian shook his head: "It's okay, let's go, let's go back and rest for a while after dinner, and accompany you to practice the piano in the afternoon, obedient"

Seeing this, Duan Ran nodded obediently, "Thank you." ”

The two continued to open their way.

"How's the stage today? ”

"Super, I love your waltz so much!"

"Really?. ”

"Really!"

"For you. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"Of course what?"

...

...

He Jing's family and Liao Linjun were eating, this was the first time Qin Gang and Fang Xuehua had seen Liao Linjun and the old bartender.

The husband and wife always listen to Qin Jian on the phone on weekdays, and this time they finally met the two, and Qin Gang, as the head of the family, was naturally indispensable

Although the words of thanks were just two sentences back and forth, according to the tradition of the Chinese people, Qin Gang put his heart in the wine.

He asked He Jing to order the best wine in the restaurant, the wine was really not cheap, but he was happy.

Liao Linjun He Jing and Fang Xuehua accompanyed, and the old bartender was accompanied by him.

..

Duan Ran and Qin Jian also had dinner, chatting about the morning's game while eating.

When it comes to Ido, both of them express some concern, after all, Ido's final scene is strictly a ceremonial mistake and has nothing to do with the performance itself.

But they all know that piano etiquette is also counted as a scoring item on the stage of the Chopin Competition.

...

Shen Qingci and Igraz were also eating

In a small restaurant not far from the mourning hall in Warsaw, the two are drinking Polish vodka.

The small restaurant is not big, like a fast food restaurant.

The two of them sat in a corner of the restaurant, eating and drinking, just like they had just finished participating.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Igraz caused a great stir after his upset at the 14th Chopin Competition, for which Argerich announced his withdrawal from the jury after the third round.

As a person concerned, Igraz disappeared from the Polish piano stage after this incident, and was never heard from again.

Only a few people know that he remained in Warsaw all along, occasionally playing the piano.

Shen Qingci was one of them, and they kept in touch by email for ten years.

The last time he came to Warsaw, Shen Qingci wanted to contact the other party, but due to time and some other problems, he did not contact the other party.

This eleven years ago, he informed the other party that he was coming to Warsaw, and the two agreed to meet in front of the Warsaw Concert Hall this morning.

happened to catch up with Qin Jian's game today, or if Qin Jian's game was yesterday, then the two should meet early yesterday morning.

"It feels like you're in pretty good shape. ”

Drinking is drinking, even if you don't drink today, it will be very comfortable for two people to sit and chat face-to-face.

That's how old friends are, and in the face of such words, Iglaz only tells the truth.

"So-so. ”

"I was usually in the apartment during the day with students, children from the suburbs of Grisco, who came to Warsaw with dreams and found that Chopin's music was much more expensive than they had imagined, so they came to me. “

"Once in a while, I go back to a commercial show or two, the terrible kind of stage, once you go there you don't want to go a second time, the audience is full of people who smoke and drink. ”

"In general, life is not a problem. ”

This passage really doesn't sound like a Polish pianist.

But Shen Qingci knew that the other party would not lie to himself, and he could hear that Igraz should not be in a good economic situation in the past few years.

He can also understand this, alcoholism and chaotic nightlife have always been the main theme of the other party's life in addition to the piano, more than 30 people, and there is still no home as a landing point.

What's more, in the eyes of the outside world, the other party is just a pianist who has been banished to the fringes of the classical music scene in Warsaw.

Shen Qingci sighed, and the atmosphere on the wine table was a little dull for a while.

"You know, the last thing there is to be a shortage of pianists here in Poland. ”

Igraz laughed as he spoke, he loved to laugh, no matter what time it was.

It's like learning from Andrzema, but his smile makes it more comfortable.

"Don't have any other plans?"

Shen Qingci has indeed changed, he would never ask this kind of question before, he himself is a question.

Igraz continued, "It's good, it's comfortable. ”

Moment.

"Rafat visited my apartment in January. ”

"Oh?" Shen Qing said suspiciously.

"He wanted me to be on the jury this year," Iglaz took a sip from the bottle, "I asked him whose idea it was, and he said it was the decision of the Chopin Institute, and I realized at that time that he was avoiding the point, you know that it's not good without him, he likes to beat around the bush, and I asked him who nominated me, and he said Andrzej." ”

Shen Qingci lit a cigarette without interrupting the other party.

Iglaz: "I knew it was him. He took another sip of wine.

Long.

"So you refused. Shen Qingci came to a conclusion.

Igraz nodded, "But I didn't refuse because Andrzej was in the jury, I didn't care about what happened back then, I accepted the arrangement of fate, but Andrzej has been too close to politicians all these years, you don't know, the Chopin Institute has changed its flavor now, and there will be a new general election in Poland next year." ”

"Both parties value this year's competition, and it's crucial for their votes. ”

Shen Qingci frowned, this aspect was something he hadn't thought of at all.

"Don't be bitter, my friend. ”

Igraz laughed again, "It's not that bad, no matter what kind of group it is, they have to support this tournament." ”
