Chapter 175: Top Twelve
The list of the top 12 of the Enning Piano Competition appeared in the headlines of the major media newspapers the next day, causing heated discussions, and the two teams of Huaxia and Germany and Italy, which occupy three places at the same time, undoubtedly attracted great attention, people can't help but think of more than a week ago, outside Prague International Airport, the two national teams met and misfired, one is ready to win three consecutive championships, then the next session can obtain the privilege of ten contestants, one is to maintain the glory of ten places, so it is necessary to win the championship, redeem the decline of Huaxia in the piano field for so many years and realize the long-cherished wish of the championγ
This is bound to be a fight to the death, either you die or I live, and there is no third way to go.
The top six is a watershed, only into the top six, in order to participate in the ultimate showdown, from the current situation, with three places of Huaxia and Germany and Italy should definitely be able to enter the top six, after all, the possibility of the three contestants being wiped out is still very small.
However, it is basically impossible to go in all of them, and no one can avoid the problem of who enters and who leaves.
Among the three of Lu Ming, Su Qianqian and Jiang Li, Lu Ming is the third runner-up of the last Enning Piano Competition, has been famous for a long time, and has many halos, known as the hope of the Chinese classical music industry, and is also the ace that the previous Chinese team relied on to win the championship. The only hope, but Jiang Li's alien army is prominent, and several heavyweight original etudes amazed the audience, like a dazzling star rising, which has really threatened Lu Ming's traditional authoritative position, and Su Qianqian, who is sandwiched between the limelight of the two, seems a little inconspicuous and irrelevant at this moment.
At first glance, it seems that everyone has a reason and hope to win, and after thinking deeply, most people come to the conclusion that Lu Ming will enter the top six steadily, and Su will enter the top five or not. And Jiang Li...... is a variable and difficult to predict.
"I don't think Jiang Li can get in, since the beginning of the qualifiers, he has already come up with nine original tunes, it should be to the limit, maybe the battle with Fujiwara Kei is his brilliance. β
"You'd better not say things like that. Countless people have been slapped in the face for similar pessimistic predictions. β
"Yes, this Jiang Li is hard to say, or rather, you can't consider him with common sense at all, can you imagine a pop star who has come up with such outstanding classical music one after another, so that he is now forced to break into the top 12 of the competition? So, wash and sleep. β
"Don't you think the rules of the competition are unreasonable? I think Jiang Li can be called the champion of the Enning Piano Competition with the quality of these original tunes now, but each song can only be used once, which is equivalent to Tian Ji taking the best horse to compete with other people's inferior horses in the horse race. Although the feeling of crushing is very cool, it is actually a big loss!"
"There are still many unreasonable things, is it reasonable for Xu Zhi to arrange Jiang Li in the penultimate place? If Jiang Li is protected by the exemption quota to the fifth round like Lu Ming, he will easily enter the top six, how can he spend so much effort!"
"Yes, this Xu Zhi is old and confused, blind. β
"Don't hack me big Lu Ming, Lu Ming is definitely stronger than Jiang Li. It is natural to become a trump card, Jiang Li's words. Hmph, if you say it's good, it's a dark horse, and if you don't hear it, it's an upstart!"
"Yo yo, what about the nouveau riche, can this thing break out casually like buying a lottery ticket and winning 10 million? Let's not mention the original tune, you can show me Jiang Li's piano performance level! If you give you a hundred years of hard practice, you can't reach it!"
"Stop arguing. They all participated on behalf of Huaxia, and they also fought in their own homes, showing jokes to outsiders, and if you want me to say, simply all three of them entered the top six. Let those foreigners stare dryly and drink the northwest wind. β
"Think about beauty, brother, it's better to be pragmatic, lewdness is harmful to health, you think that those masters eat white rice." β
"You say, what would happen if Jiang Li and Lu Ming met in this round of competition?"
There was a silence, a deathly silence.
At this time, someone suddenly spoke: "Go and see the hot post on the homepage of Longxing.com next door, which is the post that uploaded a video of becoming a dog in order to bet on whether Jiang Li can enter the top six and agreed to lose, hehe, now the people who support and oppose have already quarreled, I'll see if I don't speak, whether Jiang Li enters or not, there is a good show to watch." β
As the sixth round of the competition is gradually approaching, any breath of air seems to be full of gunpowder, from the Internet to the Internet, from China to abroad, you can see everywhere about the Enning Piano Competition talk and disputes, the current focus is naturally locked, the top six!
Who can become the darling of fate and advance to the top six, everyone will wait and see! No, we can't wait!
On this day, Jiang Li, who has always been heartless and indifferent, actually got up because he couldn't sleep when the sun had not yet risen, and started the set of divine gymnastics taught to him by Tang Shishi, in order to calm the ups and downs in his heart, Peng Yi, who was sleeping on the sofa, was woken up by him, opened his eyes, yawned and said: "Is it a little too early today, is the sun coming out in the west?"
"The sun hasn't come out yet!" Jiang Li kicked Peng Yi's ass, "But it's coming out soon, get up and do exercise!"
"No, you're nervous, let me sleep for a while, I'm sleepy, I didn't fall asleep until late when I watched the discussion on the domestic Internet about the Enning Piano Competition last night. As soon as Peng Yi was about to fall asleep, he saw a cold face come over.
"Since you sleep with me, you have to follow my rules, I am in charge of my territory, I count three and have to get up!" Jiang Li said seriously, "Three, one!"
"Okay, I admit defeat and I surrender, can't I get up?" Peng Yi sat up helplessly, rubbed his hair that was a little messy, this time it was even more messy, and then under Jiang Li's cold gaze, he quickly climbed down from the sofa and rushed to the bathroom.
It didn't take long for a neat and very strange horn to sound in the room, Jiang Li and Peng Yi started the set of magical gymnastics like some kind of cult initiation ceremony, poor Peng Yi, in order to avoid being poisoned, he also volunteered to be a waiter, but he still couldn't escape the nightmare.
"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-one......"
"Weishenme, here's one, two, three, one?" Peng Yi wondered.
"Who do I ask? No, I have someone to ask, but she's not here right now. Jiang Li said calmly.
Peng Yi suddenly showed an ambiguous look that all men understand, and said with a smile: "Is it your woman?"
"I see, it turns out that you want to become a woman, no problem, you know, now that technology is very developed, you look at that Ba Song, it is completely a successful case of transformation. Jiang Li smiled evilly.
"Okay, can't I be wrong?" Peng Yi's body trembled, his legs subconsciously brought together, and hurriedly said, "However, I want to remind you that if you really run into that Ba Song today, you must be careful, I always feel that he is a bit evil." β
"Well, I think so too, but ......" Jiang Li suddenly tilted the corners of his mouth in an arc, unable to tell whether he was smiling or sneering, "I have a hunch that I may meet a very special opponent today, and this match may be very interesting." β
"Didn't you say that you are neither a God who controls destiny nor a prophet who predicts the future...... Ahh
Jiang Li saw a red sun rising through the open window, and the sun seemed to be dyed with the color of blood, which looked extremely bewitching.
Today is destined to be a day of unrest.
Walking down the streets of Prague, I saw people coming and going, talking to each other, talking about the upcoming sixth round of the competition, and picking up a newspaper at random, the headline on it must also be about the Enning Piano Competition.
The whole of Prague is shrouded in a cloud of war, this is a bloodless and unscrupulous but extremely tragic war, the confrontation between the strong men who stand out from many outstanding young pianists in the world will undoubtedly be extremely fierce and exciting, and people can't restrain their inner excitement when they think about it.
Walking across the ancient and heavy Charles Bridge, the cool water vapor of the Vltava River is refreshing, and the royal concert hall at the foot of Beitshen Mountain is getting closer and closer, and the ancient Chinese clock above the concert hall is becoming more and more clear in the mist.
When Jiang Li and Peng Yi rushed to the front of the royal concert hall, there were already many people gathered at the scene, in addition to the contestants and spectators, there were also a large number of reporters.
"Jiang Li has arrived! Jiang Li has arrived!" someone exclaimed, and immediately attracted a large number of reporters to gather around like flies.
"May I ask Jiang Li, do you have the confidence to create another miracle and advance to the top six?" asked a female reporter impatiently.
"I'll give it my all. Jiang Li and Peng Yi squeezed forward with difficulty.
"May I ask Jiang Li, who do you least want to be an opponent in the next match?" a male reporter asked.
"There is no hope or hope, as long as it happens, I will take it seriously. Jiang Li said calmly.
"May I ask Jiang Li......"
"Excuse me......"
Many reporters raised questions in a gossiping manner, which annoyed Jiang Li, some people may enjoy this feeling of stars and moons, but he really didn't like it, and one person saw Jiang Li come to the hot scene caused by it, and immediately became jealous, so when a reporter asked, "Until now, do you still have the confidence to think that you can win the championship as you did when you were at the airport?"
Everyone turned their heads at this sentence, and the lights of the camera flickered endlessly, shining on that person, Lu Ming.
In the photo, Lu Ming, who was standing on the right surrounded by reporters and posing with his head held high and a confident smile on his face, and Jiang Li, who was also surrounded by reporters on the left but had a very low-key face and a warm smile on his lips, formed an extremely sharp and strong contrast.
At this moment, the ancient bell above the royal concert hall rang, and the solemn and heavy door slowly opened. (To be continued......)
