Chapter 39: The First Round
I don't know what the reason is, living in Ding Xuan's house, Jiang Chao feels very comfortable, and there is no embarrassment at all that he has only known Ding Xuan for a few days, as if the two have been friends for many years.
Ding Xuan also had a similar feeling, the reason may be that his grandfather often mentions Jiang Chao, or it may be that after two days of contact, Ding Xuan found that Jiang Chao was very appetizing to him, or it could be both.
In the past two days, Jiang Chao learned to motorcycle.
However, they didn't go on the road, and they practiced in a rather remote parking lot. Jiang Chao has an innate strong balance, except for the fact that he can't balance the relationship with girls, most things can be perfectly balanced.
"Tomorrow is your piano competition, aren't you nervous?" Ding Xuan asked.
Jiang Chao smiled absently. How can he be nervous? For him, the more times like this, the more presumptuous he becomes. Jiang Chao twisted the throttle, the huge roar of the motorcycle and the melody of the piano are the two extremes of the sound, and the two extremes are also perfectly balanced in Jiang Chao.
"Do you think my idea is feasible?" Ding Xuan asked.
Jiang Chao heard Ding Xuan ask him seriously, thought about it, turned off the motorcycle, set up the car, sat on the back of the car and thought for a while: "I think it's possible." ”
Ding Xuan asked about martial arts, and it was also about the big things of his dreams.
Ding Xuan's dream is to change the living environment of professional martial arts fighters, and in a sense, this is a great dream. And greatness is often synonymous with impossibility.
But Ding Xuan is not a utopian dream, he has his own plan, and this plan is not complicated to say.
First of all, to become an influential martial artist all over the world, and even more so in China, you must be a benchmark figure. Then use his influence to promote the development of the domestic martial arts industry step by step.
"I think your plan is generally okay. But what to do in the details? like how to become an influential martial artist in the world? like push step by step...... What are the steps?"
Ding Xuan opened his mouth, was stunned, and closed his mouth again. For a moment, his gaze became firm: "When I go to college, I will either find a way to get into the UFC! or find a way to mix up the four major organizations for a boxing title......"
Whether it's boxing rules or MMA rules, Ding Xuan feels that he has what it takes to become a martial artist with world influence.
Jiang Chao thought about it, he felt that Ding Xuan had his own direction, but there seemed to be no road in that direction. No one in China dares to set such a lofty goal...... Or maybe there were, but they all died on the road, and no one saw it.
But just like watching Jordan, Jiang Chao also inexplicably felt that Ding Xuan might really be able to realize his dream one day.
Therefore, Jiang Chao said seriously: "I think you should be able to succeed." ”
"But...... I feel like I'm definitely going to need your help in the future. Ding Xuan thought for a long time, and looked at Jiang Chao equally seriously.
Jiang Chao nodded, "As long as there is a place where I can help, just ask." ”
After going back in the evening.
Ding Xuan finally found Jiang Chao to practice.
......
Dodge, dodge, punch.
Jiang Chao punched Ding Xuan in the waist, and then dived down to dodge Ding Xuan's hook counterattack.
At this time, the intelligent voice alarm clock that looks like a mental retardation comes to announce: "It's time!
Both stopped.
Ding Xuan bent down slightly, slowed down, and then let out a long sigh of relief, took off the protective gear and fist gloves, and began to untie the bandages on his hands again, sweat dripping from his chin to his sturdy body.
Compared with Ding Xuan, Jiang Chao looked more relaxed, at least he didn't sweat too much.
In the sparring just now, neither of them used to collapse. In fact, until the critical moment, Jiang Chao would not dare to use such a terrible ability. Collapse is indeed something similar to metaphysics. With Honken, the power of that moment can completely surpass the limits of the human body.
Previously, when Jiang Chao tested the weight of his punches at Liu Yiquan, he used Collapse Strength...... As a result, a punch broke someone's machine. Later, Liu Yiquan explained that the limit of the boxing power that the machine could withstand was 600 kilograms, so Jiang Chao's weight at that moment far exceeded this value, and I don't know how much it was.
Tyson's record is said to be 800 kilograms, while it only takes about 100 kilograms to knock out an adult.
In tonight's sparring session, Ding Xuan also realized that Jiang Chao was not only more talented than him in terms of collapse, but even if he didn't have to collapse, he couldn't beat him.
"I'm taller than you, and I have a longer arm span than you, so I'm taking advantage of it. Jiang Chao comforted Ding Xuan.
Ding Xuan's eyes were a little complicated, Jiang Chao had said before that he probably wouldn't take the path of martial arts, otherwise Ding Xuan thought that Jiang Chao had more hope of becoming a world-class martial artist than him.
"Don't comfort me. Whether it's footwork, distance, punch landing or penetration...... You're better than me. Ding Xuan shrugged helplessly: "But it's okay." I've never met an opponent before, and you've finally let me know that there are people outside of people. ”
Ding Xuan's eyes were serious: "Don't worry, I will use you as a benchmark and keep improving!"
......
Winters in Kyoto are actually quite cold.
But Jiang Chao seems to have an innate talent that is not afraid of cold, and when he walks on stage, his hands are very hot.
The first round of the Texas International Piano Competition in China.
Jiang Chao calmly sat down in front of the piano.
In the first round of the competition, Jiang Chao chose the Polonaise in F sharp minor from the prescribed repertoire44. This piece is very Chopin-flavored, Jiang Chao closed his eyes, and the flawless version already appeared in his mind.
The judges sitting below are well-known pianists from home and abroad. In fact, although the competition held here was a Huaguo divisional competition, Jiang Chao was the only one who entered the first round. Only the first place in each division can go to Texas to participate in the main competition, so many foreign pianists may not necessarily compete in their own country's division in order to fight for that opportunity.
They think that the level of players in the Huaguo division is slightly lower, and it may be easier to get tickets to the same Texas here.
But no matter who the opponent is or who the judges are, Jiang Chao doesn't care.
At this time, Jiang Chao only had the piano in his eyes.
The time in his consciousness flowed faster, and soon, the perfect tune had already flowed all over again, and in reality, it seemed that Jiang Chao was only slightly brewing emotions.
Then, Jiang Chao smiled slightly, and his fingers jumped slightly.
The performance begins.
The judges and the audience were very quiet. The judges listened to Jiang Chao's performance, and a few of them inadvertently showed surprised expressions and nodded slightly.
As judges, they can have their own subjective inclinations, but they can't just be subjective in their scoring. Therefore, there must be a set of strict scoring criteria, which requires them to have a complete grasp of the completion of the contestants' repertoire, and listen carefully to every detail......
At this time, Jiang Chao was completely immersed in the ocean of music.
