There is a social phenomenon called enclosure self-sprout, which refers to some things that are not suitable for publicity everywhere, and the audience group is self-congratulatory in the circle, such as the lack of mature fan circle culture at this time.

And there is another phenomenon that is similar, it is a thing suitable for publicity, but because of the extremely high threshold, only a small number of people can appreciate it in the circle - let's call it a passive enclosure and self-sprouting.

The common denominator of both phenomena is that people in the circle have the illusion that the whole world is talking about something because they are constantly paying attention to it—such as an idol in the eyes of fans, or classical music in the spring and snow. The circle is in full swing, but in fact, the years outside the circle are quiet.

People who pay attention to classical music will most likely hear a name after today - Jiang Chao.

When Jiang Chao's performance was over, one of the judges stood up excitedly, it was the silver-haired judge, an old man who looked like an artist.

"Good!" The old artist praised him sincerely: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most Chopin-like performances I have ever heard in China! Young man, Jiang Chao is right? Can you introduce yourself?"

Jiang Chao bowed lightly to the audience before he smiled lightly and said, "I'm from Qianhe Province and I'm in my third year of high school now. ”

"Oh, is it this year's art exam, is there a school of your choice?" asked the old artist.

Jiang Chao shook his head: "I don't have this plan at the moment, I want to take the general college entrance examination." ”

As soon as the words came out, many people at the scene showed surprised expressions.

The old artist couldn't help but show a puzzled expression: "Ordinary college entrance examination?" In his opinion, Jiang Chao's attainments in the piano, if he participates in the ordinary college entrance examination, isn't it condescending?

After a moment of silence, the old artist sighed: "Young man, I am the dean of the piano department of the East China Conservatory of Music, if you change your mind in the future, you can contact me." ”

Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Next, the other players continued to perform on stage, but they could not affect Jiang Chao's first place at all.

At the end of the second round of the competition, Jiang Chao once again successfully advanced with the first place.

After the game, Kondo Yumi gave Jiang Chao a thumbs up backstage: "It's really amazing!"

Jiang Chao smiled lightly.

......

The schedule of the Texas International Piano Competition in China is in full swing, but the vast majority of the audience will not know about it, in fact, the vast majority of people have not even heard the names of the top classical piano competitions such as the Xiao Prize, the Chai Prize, and the German Prize.

In the classical piano music scene, it's a different story.

Videos of Jiang Chao's second round of the game appeared on some forums.

Generally, the quality of the group concerned about classical music is relatively high, and the standard for judging things will be more objective and rational, and most of the comments at the bottom are positive.

"Extremely high level of finish, almost impeccable. ”

"This year's newcomers are very good!

”

"Ah, I seem to be a fan of him!"

There are also people who are greedy for Jiang Chao's face.

"I'm on the scene, the real person is more handsome than the video!"

"It's the prince of piano in my mind. ”

Of course, there is still controversy. One post said: "It's really great! I think he has a chance to be the next Lang Lang or Li Yundi!"

Then there was an opposing voice: "Objectively speaking, it is still far behind Lang Lang and Mr. Yun, right? How old is Lang Lang when he won the Xiaochai Award? Mr. Yun has won the Xiao Award in his grade, and he is famous in Europe and the United States!"

But most of the posts are encouraging and hopeful.

"To be honest, this Desai I think it is possible for our Huaguo to break zero!"

"I hope he becomes the first Chinese to win the first place in the Desai!"

The judging of the Texas International Piano Competition is stricter than other competitions of the same level, and the Chinese have not yet had an outstanding ranking in the German Prize. Unknowingly, many people who follow the German Prize have noticed that Jiang Chao, the only Chinese who has hope of going to the beautiful country to compete this time.

It's just that only two rounds of competition have been held so far, and Jiang Chao's level still needs more performances to prove.

The attention of a few...... It's just a matter of attention at the moment.

......

"Daughter, have you paid attention to this German prize competition?"

Judy was reading a book when she heard her mother's words and nodded, "Well......"

"Where do you think Jiang Chao has seen it......"

Judy couldn't help laughing: "Mom, he's my classmate!"

Judy's mother's expression was a little surprised: "Your classmate, then you have to have more contact with others! Get more contact with excellent people, and you will become excellent!" She couldn't remember the last time she saw Jiang Chao was when she saw Jiang Chao fighting.

Judy thought of Jiang Chao's clean smile, and her face flushed slightly: "Hmm." ”

......

Jiang Chao received several phone calls.

There are old fish calling. After Lao Yu became popular with Jiang Chao's "Miss Dong", he finally got through his economic crisis, and created a song "Youth and Him" by himself, outlining a sincere friendship across ages with a soothing melody, and the market response continued to rise, and Lao Yu finally began to appear in the public eye, so he has been very busy recently.

When Lao Yu heard that Jiang Chao participated in the Texas International Piano Competition and entered the second round, he called to greet him as soon as possible, and the communication between the two did not take much time. Lao Yu is a mature man, and mature men don't need to be hypocritical, but Jiang Chao can feel Lao Yu's most enthusiastic concern.

And then there's Su Yan's. Su Yanyuan was in South Korea, but she still heard the news of Jiang Chao's competition. The first thing she called was to express her dissatisfaction: "You didn't tell me about such a big thing, hum!"

Jiang Chao was stunned by the questioning and hurriedly apologized, but he didn't know why he apologized. The two chatted for a while, and Su Yan said, "Is the next game the final?"

Of course, Jiang Chao also made a few phone calls.

My father and mother are traveling in another place. The call was made to my mother, and when I heard Jiang Chao's excellent results in the first two rounds, Milan was sincerely happy for Jiang Chao, and then before Jiang Chao could talk to my mother more, the mobile phone on the other end was taken by Jiang Jin.

"Son, come on! Your mother and I are watching the giant pandas, so I won't talk to you more, come on!"

"Doodoo-"

The phone was hung up in a hurry, Jiang Chao rolled his eyes, and then slowly exhaled.

Then, Jiang Chao also called Jordan and Guo Decheng, who were far away in the beautiful country. Both of them have no concept of the Texas International Piano Competition, in their understanding, they only know that Jiang Chao is participating in a piano competition, and after chatting a few words, the topic shifts to understanding each other's recent life situation.

Jordan and Guo Decheng expressed their hope on the phone that Jiang Chao could come to play in the beautiful country. Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chao thought about it and searched the Internet for the process of going to a beautiful country.

Pretty Country...... It's so far.

At this point, the final still has to wait for another week.
