Chapter 32: To Kyoto
Outside the window, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the sun was hooking the Phnom Penh.
on the plane.
Jiang Chao was flying for the first time. He was bored listening to music, with mp4. Before getting on the plane, a flight attendant prompted to turn off the mobile phone, but Jiang Chao looked left and right and found that many people ignored it and still played stand-alone games on their mobile phones.
But Jiang Chao didn't. Regardless of whether turning on the phone will affect the plane, he will not break the rules. In any case, Jiang Chao is a person who abides by the rules many times.
This flight is for Kyoto.
It's Jiang Chao's last winter vacation as a high school student.
He sat in first class. What is the concept of having a million? It means that you have more wealth than 80 percent of the people in the country. And Jiang Chao is the first 20% of the people, the Internet will give people the illusion that this country is full of rich people, but in fact, people who are tired of running around for life are the main group in this country, and they are the silent majority, and their lives cannot be seen on the Internet.
Although Jiang Chao is not particularly rich, he also has the confidence to choose the most comfortable location when traveling, occasionally go to taste Michelin five stars, buy clothes as long as it is not a luxury brand, you can pick the style and not the price, if you go out for a walk occasionally, you will also choose a high-end hotel without worrying.
In fact, if it weren't for the pressure of the Medal of Wealth, Jiang Chao felt that this kind of life would be very good.
The first time he took a plane, Jiang Chao felt that the first class cabin was just like that. The location is far worse than the business compartment of the high-speed rail, not so spacious, and you can't lie down if you want to, but the price is much more expensive than the economy class.
"Sir, is there anything you need?" the stewardess smiled sweetly.
Jiang Chao thought, the flight attendant is really polite. But he was a little helpless, because this was the third time that the flight attendant took the initiative to ask him.
"There's really nothing needed. Jiang Chao smiled politely.
The stewardess sighed softly, then took out a business card and handed it over.
"Call me if you need to!"
"Okay. ”
Jiang Chao subconsciously took the business card and said a perfunctory sentence casually. Finally sent the flight attendant away, Jiang Chao sighed helplessly, and was also a little confused. There is no signal on the plane, how can I call her?
Jiang Chao looked at the business card, and there was a bright red lip print on the corner. Not long after, when Jiang Chao had already understood the meaning of that business card, he couldn't help but smile dumbly when he recalled it.
The plane kept scrolling and playing the precautions related to the danger of passengers' lives, such as the use of safety doors and turbulent airflows, but Jiang Chao didn't care much. At such a high level in the sky, the power of human beings is too small.
After a while, the plane finally started to put something interesting on the plane.
A movie called "Little Lucky".
In recent years, these small and fresh things have become popular, such as "Little Luck" and "First Love Little Things...... It can make girls cry so much.
In fact, Jiang Chao also watches this kind of movie, he has never been in love before and after his rebirth, and the only possible love died before it began. So he occasionally watches movies related to love, but Jiang Chao watches them with a learning attitude.
He doesn't know how to fall in love yet, so he's curious...... Very curious.
Halfway through the movie, an interlude sounds.
"Little Lucky".
This song was "created" by Jiang Chao. And the lead singer in the movie is a female star who has never heard the name. Listening to this version of Little Lucky, Jiang Chao gently propped his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression, and the girl sang sadly...... And Jiang Chao thinks that this song should be the mood of regret and reminiscence.
However, the first two girls liked this style very much.
"This song is very good!"
"Let's wait until we get off the plane and find out. ”
One of the girls said, "Do you know, the original version of this song is Mi Jiang's." I've heard it for a long time. ”
"Mi Jiang, who is Mi Jiang?"
"Huh? You don't even know Mi Jiang? He's the most mysterious Internet singer in Yunle! Hello tomorrow, you've always heard of it, right?"
"Uh...... I generally only listen to classical and jazz, and rarely listen to pop music......"
Then, the other party gave her a big contempt: "Yes, yes, yes...... You stand at the highest point of the chain of contempt. ”
"Huh~"
Jiang Chao unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth in the back. It is always pleasant to hear others discuss themselves, as long as they are not discussing it maliciously.
Speaking of music, Jiang Chao's trip to Kyoto this time is also related to music.
In the audition of the Texas International Piano Competition, Jiang Chao successfully qualified.
But that's just the beginning.
The Texas International Piano Competition is currently one of the most authoritative competitions in the world. A luxurious lineup of judges, a performance venue configured by the world's top ten symphony orchestras in the finals. Being able to win the first place in this competition is almost equivalent to about half a foot stepping into the god list.
The selection process was extremely difficult, first the selection of discs, then the live competition, then the first round of the beautiful national division, the second round of the competition, and finally the final at the Texas Golden Concert Hall. The cruelty of each link of the competition is unimaginable, and the players who send the disc often exceed 10,000, but most of the players who have no recommender or whose referrer is not well-known will be eliminated directly. Fortunately with Lang Lang as the recommender this time, Jiang Chao passed the selection without any twists and turns.
After the audition, there are only a few hundred players left, and then they will participate in the regional live competition, and most of them will be eliminated. Divisional competitions are generally held in the capitals of various divisions, not to mention winning prizes, and usually even the two levels of this parasitic and divisional competitions cannot be passed.
In terms of strength, there are countless people who can play well, and those who can pass the selection show that they have good strength, but from the second stage onwards, every note and every detail of the music of the contestants will be considered by the judges.
In addition, to participate in the Desai, you must also have a certain family material foundation. First of all, the contestants have to bear a huge registration fee, and they have to charge thousands of dollars for each stage, which ordinary families generally can't afford. And that's not even counting travel expenses, room and board, and other necessary expenses.
Therefore, the threshold for participation in Desai is high...... Exceptionally high!
Now, Jiang Chao is preparing to go to Kyoto to participate in the live competition of the China Division.
With a jolt, the plane finally landed safely.
Jiang Chao, who went down to the ground again, couldn't help but exhale deeply. Truth be told, the feeling of being in heaven is not so cool for some people. Although the airplane is theoretically the safest means of transportation in the world, the feeling of completely surrendering one's life to the pilot is very uncomfortable for Jiang Chao.
Just land on the ground.
As soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Chao called his parents to report his safety.
There are still three days left before the start of the game, and Jiang Chao is ready to step on a point, and then take a good turn in Kyoto.
But before you go to Kyoto......
......
Jiang Chao opened the room, it is a very good high-end hotel, the daily room cost is 800 yuan, although the room is not big, but very exquisite. In terms of the experience of eating, living and traveling, Jiang Chao will definitely choose the best conditions within the range of options. People finally have a second life, do they still have to treat themselves badly?
Although the room is not large, Jiang Chao is very satisfied. In fact, a high-end room doesn't have to be judged by size. The most important thing is to improve the quality of sleep in a limited space, for example, the pillows in this hotel are eiderdown and the air conditioning is completely silent...... Jiang Chao felt that these two things alone were worth eight hundred yuan.
After resting on the bed for a while, Jiang Chao turned out a yellowed note.
Looking at the note, Jiang Chao fell into deep thought. It's an address, given to him by Grandpa Ding many years ago.
