Chapter 40: The Piano Competition

Los Angeles, Opera House

A banner was hung in front of the gate of the opera house, "The 38th Piano Competition of City A", indicating that the annual piano competition of City A was held as scheduled at the opera house in Los Angeles.

Every year, piano lovers from all over the city come to participate, and different models of private cars slowly stop in front of the gate of the opera house, and each contestant is dressed up to present an auditory and visual feast to the judges and the audience.

The opera house is decorated with extraordinary magnificence, with a black piano in the center of the stage, surrounded by colorful lights, different lights shining on the stage, and the top celebrities in the piano world are written on the judges' table.

When Tang Yan and his group arrived, the audience was almost full, some of them were enthusiasts who came to watch, and some were family members who accompanied the contestants.

Ou Ruihua let the two old men sit obediently in their seats, and pushed the girl to the backstage.

Xi Qingcang wanted to follow, but in the end he was in the audience, because he didn't want to affect her mood at this time, and his explanation was not convincing to her in one or two sentences, so he could only wait until she finished the game before he could tell her clearly.

At this time, the judges of this piano competition took their place in order.

After a while, the music playing in the opera hall stopped, the lights under the stage dimmed, the stage lights turned on, and the host slowly walked to the center of the stage, and said passionately and generously: "Distinguished guests, dear ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! Today is a special festival, let us gather here to experience a feast of sight and sound...... I now officially announce the official start of the 38th Piano Competition in City A.

First of all, I would like to welcome our No. 1 contestant with a round of applause for the first auditory feast of this piano competition. ”

One piano performance after another sounded melodiously in the venue.

Soon the seventy-sixth performance was about to end, and the next person to play was Tang Yan.

"The next one will be our little tangyuan, and I don't know if she is nervous or not, whether Huahua has taken care of her. Old Lady Fang said nervously.

"I think it's because you're nervous, Xiao Tangyuan has always been very calm, this kind of small occasion is not a thing in front of her at all, so don't worry about it anymore. Fang Lao replied.

Xi Qingcang was unwavering on the surface, but his hanging hands were tightly clenched into fists, proving that he was nervous.

Backstage, Ou Ruihua squatted down and said to the girl gently: "Xiao Tangyuan is next to you, don't you be nervous, you know? ”

Tang Yan looked at the young man and said incoherently, and couldn't help laughing: "I think you are nervous, I am the one who is competing, why are you more nervous than me?"

"I ...... I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous at all. The boy retorted.

Tang Yan smiled lightly and said to him: "Okay, you're not nervous, are you...... It's me who is nervous, okay. ”

"Little Tangyuan, you ...... You're laughing at me, huh, is our friendship still there?" Oriva saw that the girl was still in the mood to make fun of herself, and immediately laughed out loud.

When Tang Yan was about to reply, the thunderous applause from the audience suddenly fell silent.

On the stage, after the host expressed his praise for the contestants just now, he gave a brief introduction to Tang Yan, and the curtain fell.

Ou Ruihua pushed Tang Yan to the position of the piano, and then whispered in the girl's ear: "Little Tangyuan, come on, you are the best, just keep a normal heart, don't be nervous, come on!" and walked back to the backstage.

Xi Qingcang sat in the audience, his body was straight, his slender legs were folded together, and his hands were tightly gripping his clothes, which was more nervous than talking about a business of hundreds of millions of yuan.

When the curtain slowly rose, the girl sat elegantly in front of the piano, her thin lips hooked up a doting smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

The second elder next to him looked at the girl on the stage and smiled kindly, and he was no longer nervous when he hadn't arrived at Tang Yan.

The lights of the audience dimmed again, and the alternating spotlights in the center of the stage shone on the girl's body, making the girl's face more delicate and moving, like a white elf descending into the world.

The melodious sound of the piano instantly resounded throughout the opera house.

Under the spotlight, the girl's figure is elegant and straight, the whole person is shrouded in the light, her eyes are closed, and her white and slender fingers dance on the black and white keys, like a playful elf, and her body moves with the notes.

Every note is in the girl's fingers to make a beating note rhythm and strong play, as if hearing the cry of the girl's thin body, to be an unyielding strong, do not bow to fate, to choke the throat of fate, people can't help but be immersed.

As the girl's last note fell, the undulating movement ended quickly, and the curtain slowly fell, the audience and the judges were still immersed in the girl's superb performance, and Tang Yan pushed the wheelchair to the backstage.

At this time, the judges in the audience stood up and applauded excitedly, and in an instant, the audience erupted in thunderous bursts of applause, which lasted until the host signaled to stop, and the venue fell silent.

Xi Qingcang took advantage of the cheers of the audience, got up and left the venue, and walked straight outside.

Not surprisingly, when the host announced the champion of this piano competition, the audience screamed seventy-seven, and finally the champion of this piano competition in City A was Tang Yan. The audience was as happy as if they had won the championship.

Ou Ruihua walked to the stage with excited steps, bowed respectfully to the judges who presented the awards, and apologized gently: "I accepted the award for Tang Yan, and she left first when she was a little unwell." ”

The judges didn't see the girl and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "I still want to personally invite her to join our association, but I didn't expect that she was not the one who received the award, that young man, can you help me contact her?"

Ou Ruihua said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely help you convey it, but whether you join me or not is not sure." ”

The judges nodded slightly, and then handed the trophy and certificate to the teenager.

Ou Ruihua took the trophy and certificate, and said with a gentle smile: "Thank you for your recognition of Tang Yan." ”

The judges smiled kindly: "It is our lifelong honor to have the opportunity to hear Miss Tang's performance. ”
