Mercelyn is the undisputed "noble" lady in the music industry.

His father was a famous Austrian symphony composer and his mother was a Hungarian singer, and both parents came from well-known local musical families. Born like this, Maitherine has shown an unusual musical talent since she was a child. When she first learned to speak at the age of two, she was discovered to have absolute intonation and a surprisingly good sense of rhythm.

So, of course, the cultivation of Messerine was put on the agenda. Her outstanding musical talent, coupled with a top-notch music learning environment, has contributed to her extraordinary musical achievements.

Maitherine originally studied vocal music, but soon her teacher, who was also her mother, found that her daughter's mind was not on vocal music, but was very interested in practicing the piano for singing, so when little Maitherine was four years old, she officially began to learn piano.

Contrary to Jiang Chao's low-key childhood, Maitherine grew up in the spotlight since she was a child.

When Maitherine was eight years old, the family moved to Germany. It was also in this year that Maitherine began to give solo recitals. Soon, the eight-year-old became famous in Europe – some began to call her a female version of Mozart.

As Mercelyn gets older, the tunes she can control are getting more and more difficult, more and more abundant, and her fame is getting bigger and bigger, and she gradually has a group of celebrity fans. For example, the famous movie star Jason Diesel, the president of the beautiful country Panama, and many celebrities in business and politics.

Messerine was able to attract these celebrities, of course, not just because of the gimmick hyped up by her age. In fact, both in and outside of China, serious music is niche. People who really enter this circle rarely pay attention to the fame of the performers. On the contrary, fame is a vassal of strength, and in this regard, the classical music industry is very different from the entertainment industry, and this circle is often proportional to strength and fame. Mercelyn used her superb piano skills to attract fans.

"The significance of this German Prize is extraordinary. Jiang Chao sighed: "Because, the first place in the German Prize, that is, the gold medal, has been suspended for twenty years." ”

Jordan asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by dangling?"

Guo Decheng smiled and said, "I know this." Let me explain. Unlike other competitions, both the Derby and Shaw Prizes have byes, which means that if the judges unanimously decide that no contestant is of sufficient skill to win the Gold Medal, the Gold Medal will be vacant, and it is better not to award a Gold Medal to all contestants than to lower the requirements. ”

Jordan was stunned: "So strict?"

Jiang Chao nodded: "That's why the gold content of the German Prize is so high, and the person who can win the gold medal of the German Prize is basically equivalent to stepping into the threshold of a master with one foot." ”

Jordan nodded clearly, and was suddenly a little surprised: "Then if you can get the first place, doesn't it mean that you are a master?"

Jiang Chao smiled and did not answer.

Is it a master?

Standing at Jiang Chao's level, he can already show 30% of the perfect piece in his mind, which is still a certain gap from a top performer like Lang Lang, but the concerto 11 that integrates his own feelings is far beyond the 30% level!

However, Jiang Chao would not say this. Moreover, that piece will not be performed until the finals, and if it is brushed down in the first two rounds, it will be gone.

The three of them walked around the Dongmu District for a while, but found that everyone didn't plan to go to the nightclub, so they became a little bored.

Jiang Chao doesn't like nightclubs because they're too noisy. The high decibel level of the nightclub is the killer of the ear, some people have done experiments, stay in the nightclub for a while, the loud music hurts the cells in the ear, and it is not a good thing for hearing for a long time.

Guo Decheng thought for a while and asked, "Jiang Chao, is the game the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Chao nodded.

Guo Decheng smiled: "I think tomorrow, let's just go watch the game and relax." ”

"Race?"

Guo Decheng said: "Rugby game, how is it?"

Jiang Chao thought about it, and his piano could not be improved in a day or two, so he agreed. The two looked at Jordan again.

"I'm okay too. I happened to have a game a few days later and I liked to relax before the game and not touch the basketball at all. ”

The three of them decided that they didn't plan to wander around Dongmu District and drove back.

The next day, Jiang Chao and the three of them really went to the rugby field. Rugby is indeed the most popular sporting event in the beautiful country. The collision of muscles and the hoarse cheering of the tsunami, let every audience experience what it means to be bloody, and Jiang Chao was no exception, he was so excited as an audience member for the first time.

......

Just when Jiang Chao and they were relaxing. The well-deserved seed in the Derby Prize, Mercelyn is busy dealing with reporters.

Although it was not a very formal interview, Mercelyn took it very seriously.

"Excuse me, Miss Mertherine, what is your expected ranking for this contest?"

Messerine in front of the camera behaved generously and naturally, without the youthfulness of a seventeen-year-old girl at all. "I'll do my best. ”

"Oh, I mean, after twenty years of falling short of the gold medal in the German Prize, do you think you can be sure of winning it?"

"Of course it's my dream and I'll do my best. Mertherine's answer was watertight, and she didn't give the media any room to play freely together.

"Then Miss Mercelyn......" The reporter still had something to ask, but Mertherine's agent had already waved his hand: "I'm sorry, that's the end of today's interview, please give Mercelyn a rest." ”

Except for Merceline, no one in the Derby Prize has such attention. But being noticed before a game isn't necessarily a good thing, and dealing with these reporters makes her tired.

After the show, Merceline returned to her room alone and was nowhere to be seen. It's her habit. Nestled in her room, she watched the footage of her opponent's game seriously.

Although artistically, it should not be too utilitarian. But after all, it's a competition, there is competition, and there is nothing wrong with getting to know the opponent in advance. On top of that, watching other people's game footage will also give Maitherine some inspiration. She was watching Jiang Chao's video, which was the first time she had watched it more than a dozen times.

After this time, Mertherine still sighed deeply as she did when she first watched the video. This "Concerto 11", Jiang Chao's performance is so perfect - it makes her feel an impulse, she can't wait to meet this young man from the East.

For many years, Matherine had not heard such a performance that resonated with her. Last time, it seems to be Lang Lang's concert, right?

Jiang Chao's "Concerto 11" is full of vitality, like the sunshine of a new life. This is a style that completely distinguishes it from other masters. Maitherine listened a lot, and every time she could find Jiang Chao's admirable handling of a certain detail. Over time, Maitherine even developed a different kind of emotion.

Can I win him?

The focus of the outside world is Merceline, and the focus of Merceline is Jiang Chao.
