The Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition is an international music competition named after Queen Elisabeth of Belgium and held in Brussels, Belgium.

Each piano competition attracts outstanding pianists from all over the world.

There are thousands of participants in each year, but there are only five winners in the end, and this 5 in 1,000 chance of winning makes this top event a feast for everyone in the world.

The winners will receive a monetary prize from the organizers of the Elizabethan Music Competition, with the first place being up to 50,000 euros, for a total of 370,000 yuan, and then decreasing to the fifth place with only 10,000 euros.

Of course, in addition to the awards of the Elizabeth Contest Foundation, the contestants can generally receive the awards provided by their own governments when they return to their home countries after winning the awards, such as Huaxia, which will give a rich material reward to the Chinese people who have won awards in the world's top competitions, generally ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan, and the amount of the prize will be determined according to the ranking.

When the Elizabeth Piano Competition was first held, there were many winners who would go on to become amazing and become masters.

However, since the 70s of the last century, the achievements of the winners have been relatively average, and there are basically no titles that can be left in the history textbooks of various countries.

In the past 50 years, the influence of the Elizabeth Competition has gradually weakened, but even if it is down, it is one of the top three music competitions in the world, and no one dares to take it lightly.

There are two winners of the previous competitions in the Chinese competition.

One is Shen Congcai in 2003, who won the second place, and now twenty years later, he is also dying of old age, serving as a professor of music at the Central Conservatory of Music.

The other is the winner of 2013, Zuoqiu, who won the fifth place, because the ranking is too low and belongs to the tail of the crane, so even if he worked hard to get the fifth place from the wave of thousands of pianists, he was quickly drowned in the dust of history after returning to China, and even quit the music circle to find another way to make a living.

This is the sorrow of musicians, painters, writers, and other artists.

Either become the top player in the industry, or willingly retire to serve as a mentor, educate the next generation, and make a living from it, or directly cut off all back roads, quit this circle, and change careers to other fields, maybe another village, and make a name for yourself.

After a 13-hour voyage, Liao Yuan and others finally landed in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.

The organizers took good care of the well-known contestants, and when Liao Yuan and the others walked out of the airport passage, they immediately got in touch with the staff of the Elizabeth Contest Foundation.

Because of the competition, the Foundation stationed people at the airport, so the two sides could meet quickly, and after verifying their identities, a Mercedes-Benz stretch car appeared in front of Liao Yuan and others.

"Mr. Liao, please come in. ”

The waiter helped open the car door, put his hand against the door frame, and said to Liao Yuan with a smile.

Liao Yuan was not polite and took the lead in entering the carriage.

The carriage is very long, from the front to the rear of the car looks like it is full of ten meters, it is no problem to sit on more than ten people, in addition, there is a mobile refrigerator in the carriage, after Liao Yuan and others got on the car, the waiter immediately opened a bottle of red wine for the guests, and in an instant, the whole carriage was full of wine.

Liao Yuan frowned, Fu Xiaoci beside him had already quickly taken the wine glass, took a small sip, and said, "It's so bitter!"

Seeing this, the waiter immediately turned around and opened a can of Sprite, and after being rejected by Fu Xiaoci, he sat quietly in the carriage and looked at the people in the carriage with a smile.

Liao Yuan tapped his hands lightly on his knees, closed his eyes and rested, the 13-hour flight journey was really not something ordinary people could bear.

Xiao Peng approached the waiter and asked in English about the current situation of the game.

The Elizabeth Competition will start on April 1, and will compete in three venues in Belgium, starting with the audition, where thousands of pianists will eliminate one-third of the candidates in half a month, and then enter the knockout round, semi-finals, and finals.

There are four rounds to be played, and it takes a month and a half to know the final winners and rankings.

The competition has a luxurious and powerful jury lineup, with more than 50 famous pianists, educators and conductors.

These people come from more than 10 countries and regions, including Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Like the other two of the world's three major music competitions, the Elizabeth Competition judges judge the awards based on the actual performance of the contestants. If they consider that no one is eligible to receive an award, they will be absent and there will be no substitute.

"A month and a half. ”

Xiao Peng looked back and smiled: "Don't delay Brother Yuan, you and the second chief will go to the White House to perform." ”

Liao Yuan glanced at him: "Shut up." ”

The latter immediately made a stitch motion on the side of his mouth.

Fu Xiaoci shook the wine glass slowly, and when the wine was almost sober, she began to taste it slowly again, and the taste surged to the tip of her tongue, giving her an illusion of bitterness, she coughed, quietly looked at Liao Yuan, and saw that Liao Yuan was closing his eyes to recuperate, so he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his bag, and after installing the selfie stick, he logged in to the base station account and turned on the live video function.

After nearly a year of return, Fu Xiaoci is very famous in the base station, as if she has become an outdoor sister, with more than five million subscribers alone, which is a terrifying number, and there are more than five million outdoor anchors, none of them.

Of course, how much water there is in this, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but there is no way, as Liao Yuan's agent, Fu Xiaoci's current value and status have risen rapidly, and it is natural to be praised by the website, plus Fu Xiaoci has more star artists in contact, and he also has the capital to drain the traffic, therefore, in external publicity, Fu Xiaoci is often officially announced as the first sister outdoors.

No one will argue with this.

After all, when Fu Xiaoci started broadcasting, he could instantly pour into millions of popularity, which is not something that other anchors can replace.

"Damn, where is this? What kind of car is this?"

"Sister Porcelain!"

"Passing by to hit soy sauce!"

"Red and fiery trance!"

"I'm done, what about you?"

"The script is wrong, could it be that I opened it in the wrong way?"

"This is Belgium? Sister Porcelain and Liao Yuan are together? My mother is together!"

"The news said that Liao Yuan went to Belgium to participate in the piano competition, but I didn't expect Sister Porcelain to go together!"

"6 What are you doing, stunned!"

"What kind of wine is this? Is it the legendary '82 Lafite?"

"It smells so good!"

"As soon as I came in, I saw Chang Wei calling for blessings. ”

As soon as the broadcast started, the entire live broadcast room was swiped by countless barrages, and all kinds of foul language came one after another, Fu Xiaoci seemed to be used to this barrage speed, because it was too fast, she basically didn't watch the barrage, after all, she couldn't recognize the words that kept overlapping because they were brushed too fast.

Unless it is a VIP tyrant who has opened the title of emperor to ask, she will reply seriously.

Fu Xiaoci quietly aimed the camera at Liao Yuan, and after a while, the popularity of millions began to grow by leaps and bounds, and it soared directly to more than seven million in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, it's only been two minutes, so popular?

Fu Xiaoci thought about it beautifully, and couldn't help but slowly approach Liao Yuan with the mobile phone lens again.
