Chapter 160: The first game of the first round
There are only two contestants in the Siam team, a woman and a Pa Song, and of course, if the audience has not really looked into it, judging by their eyes, they will definitely think that it is a woman and a more beautiful woman.
At this moment, in Huaxia, the controversy about Jiang Li has recurred, Xu Zhi arranged Jiang Li in a position in the Huaxia team zuihou, the meaning is self-evident, which makes many Jiang Li's fans very dissatisfied, no matter what, Jiang Li also created a few etudes, although some people will question whether it is plagiarism or others, but before there is real evidence, the facts are facts, and they can't be erased in one sentence.
What's more, people with a heart have discovered that Jiang Li is clearly ranked fifth in the potential ranking list of the Huaxia Piano Association after the Huaxia Qualifiers, and Peng Yi is even third, this time he is ranked in the bottom two, if there is no reason for this, I am afraid it is difficult to believe.
So the people who supported Jiang Li pointed the finger at Xu Zhi and Liu Fei, the person who changed the most this time, wondering if there was any improper transaction between the two, there are such precedents, and there are many of them, and the opposition said that Jiang Li is poor in donkey skills and has no hole cards, so he was abandoned by Xu Zhi, in general, the opposition has the upper hand, and the situation is not favorable to Jiang Li.
But it doesn't matter, because the answer will gradually be revealed in the next game, Jiang Li doesn't like to pay attention to these subjective conjectures and personal gossip discussions through the Internet like Peng Yi, and he won't be affected by them, of course, the most important thing is that he is very confident, and the only thing he thinks about is how to defeat his opponent, not whether he can defeat his opponent.
The opening ceremony is mainly to introduce the national teams, some important people and polite words, and the process of passing down for more than 100 years is over, and Zuihou is brought to the stage by King Joseph VI of Tess and said: "Then now, I announce that the 30th Enning Piano Competition has officially begun!"
"The national teams are invited to return to their concert halls for the first round of the tournament by the same route. The jury will be divided into three juryes, each of which will go to the judging ......"
Accompanied by liturgical music, the crowd withdrew from the central concert hall in an orderly manner, and the three arches slowly closed, reverberating through the empty corridor with the sound of ancient machinery turning. When the next time it opens, it will mean the arrival of the finals!
The No. 1 Concert Hall of the Genes Royal Concert Hall was responsible for the first round of the dozens of national teams led by the Huaxia team, and when the host announced that everything was ready and the competition officially began, someone immediately couldn't wait to launch a challenge.
This is the first challenge of this year's Enning Piano Competition: Annan Nguyen Jinming VS Huaxia Jiangli!
Annam is a small country in East Asia, and it has been a territory or vassal state of China for a long time in history, and there are only two contestants, Ruan Jinming is one of them, but he didn't expect the other party to directly challenge the Huaxia team as soon as he came up. The person chosen is Jiang Li, who is ranked first in the Huaxia team!
Although Jiang Li had an extremely amazing performance in the qualifiers, it wasn't until just now that Ruan Jinming was finally convinced that Jiang Li was just in vain, because Jiang Li was obviously not taken seriously in the Huaxia team, even if he would be mistaken, didn't Xu Zhi, the captain of the Huaxia team, understand?
Nguyen thought he had found the right answer, and in fact, so did many of the other contestants who took the challenge slowly. After being robbed, I can't help but feel remorseful, and it is not so easy to find a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch. Moreover, Jiang Li also belongs to the Huaxia team no matter how he says it, and defeating Jiang Li is equivalent to defeating the Huaxia team once, how good it is to pass on its reputation, it is really an economical and affordable business.
"Jiang Li, can you? You can!" Peng Yi asked repeatedly. The look was more serious than ever.
Jiang Li tilted the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "What do you say!"
One after another eyes shot at Jiang Li's position, Lu Ming showed a gloating playful look, and said secretly in his heart: "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, you are really unlucky." It's not a good sign to be challenged at the beginning, but it's fun to have a wheel war, and I hope you can hold on a little longer, otherwise it won't be too boring?"
Liu Fei, who was sitting next to Lu Ming, also took the opportunity to curry favor with the other party at this time and said: "Lu Ming, this Jiang Li will definitely lose in the first round, maybe he will lose in the first game, it will be really embarrassing and thrown home, you don't have to worry about it at all." β
"Hmm, when did I get worried?" Lu Ming looked dissatisfied.
"Oh-I mean Jiang Li is not worthy of being your opponent at all, of course, you don't have to worry, it's just that he is always bouncing in front of you, which is annoying enough, so it's better to get out of the way as soon as possible. Liu Fei hurriedly explained.
"That's right. Lu Ming smiled, and a hand had reached into Liu Fei's skirt at some point, gently stroking the other party's thigh.
Liu Fei showed a shy look, with affection in his veins, but a trace of contempt flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, compared with Su Qianqian, Liu Fei is still too far behind, at most it is just fun, but Su Qianqian has been much colder to him since the turmoil at that dinner, so that he can't find a place to start, which also makes him hate Jiang Li even more, but as long as he can win the championship of the Enning Piano Competition this time, then Su Qianqian has to agree even if he doesn't agree!
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ming's heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, making Liu Fei snort bitterly, thinking that the other party was expressing his liking to her!
At this time, the jury has already drawn out the piano pieces that need to be performed in the first challenge, Enning's Sixth Etude and No. 16 Etudes, because it is an official competition, it is undoubtedly a step higher than the difficulty of the qualifiers, the first round of the competition is not to play one, but two, and must be played consecutively, without pause, the total length is about fifteen minutes.
Nguyen Tan Minh, a challenger from Annam, took the stage first, glancing at Jiang Li as if demonstrative, then bowing to the crowd and taking a seat next to the grand piano.
The beautiful sound of the piano resounded in the concert hall, and the judges sat in their seats and listened quietly, and the global audience could clearly see the performance through Genesis National Television.
"Yutong, I don't know much about classical music, tell me, this ...... How did Ruan Jinming perform, is there any stupidity?" asked Tang Shishi eagerly.
Shu Yutong glared at her and said, "Jiang Li hasn't performed yet, how do I know who is better at acting?"
"But I just want to know. β
"Hmm...... I think it must be Jiang Li's performance that is better. β
"Weishenme, Jiang Li hasn't performed yet, how do you know who is better?"
Shu Yutong was speechless, Tang Shishi actually questioned her with what she had just said, but she still said seriously: "Don't you think that's the case? I believe him!"
"That's right! Come on! Defeat this damn Ruan Jinming, he dared to challenge you first, obviously he didn't put you in his eyes, can you bear it? At least I can't bear it!" Tang Shishi raised two small fists and danced with his hands, as if he was going to kick the guy who was pretending to play on the stage all at once.
Minutes and seconds passed. These fifteen minutes were difficult for both those who supported and opposed Jiang Li, those who supported Jiang Li hoped that Jiang Li would be able to fight back firmly, while those who opposed Jiang Li couldn't wait to see Jiang Li's performance lose and show a dejected, depressed and decadent look on stage, and then leave the Enning Piano Competition like a lost dog.
Some people even posted the slogan "Please Jiang Li fight again in five years" on the Internet, which is obviously a satire that Jiang Li is about to lose.
Of course, as long as they are truly patriotic, the Chinese people who don't look at Jiang Li with colored glasses will hope that Jiang Li wins.
Milena sat in the second concert hall, her mind was not on the piano performance on the stage, but thinking about what happened to Jiang Li, she didn't know that Jiang Li had already met her first opponent so quickly.
Fifteen minutes are finally over. Ruan Jinming stood up, with an elegant and calm smile on his face, obviously quite satisfied with his performance, it was a normal performance, he met Jiang Li, who was walking to the stage, Jiang Li smiled slightly.
"Well, I'll see if you can laugh!" Ruan Jinming said secretly in his heart.
Jiang Li walked onto the stage and bowed to everyone as well. Then I sat down at the piano.
The concert hall was silent.
Peng Yi couldn't help straightening his body and held his breath. He didn't know Jiang Li's real piano level, so even though the other party swore by him, he couldn't help but be nervous, as if he was competing.
Xu Zhi made a straight face, Lu Ming sneered, and Liu Fei smiled contemptuously. Wei Zidan narrowed his eyes, Su Qianqian remained silent, and everyone else present watched quietly, and people from all over the world were watching this game in different ways.
Jiang Li took a breath lightly, this moment. His mood was unusually calm, and he was free from distractions except for the piano in front of him.
Whenβ
From the moment the first note sounded, people's hearts were unconsciously raised, and those who hoped for Jiang Li's victory were worried that he would make a mistake in the next note, and conversely, those who hoped for Jiang Li's defeat were afraid that he would play smoothly.
The rhythm of the music is getting faster and faster, and the difficulty is also beginning to increase, Jiang Li's fingers are dancing on the keys, and the slightest movement will make some people startled, and when the music is played to the climax stage, people's nervous mood is also accompanied by the rush to the peak.
The tide ebbed and flowed, and the cycle began again and again, and finally it was calm.
After fifteen minutes were over, President Mas, the first judge of the first concert hall jury, nodded imperceptibly, and Mu Yu, who was a judge in the second concert hall, also smiled slightly at this time.
There was a burst of applause in the first concert hall, Jiang Li slowly got up, bowed to everyone, and then calmly walked to the audience, just as he came.
At this time, for most people, the mood is not calm, but more and more nervous, because the result is not yet known, and it is not a professional who can not judge who is better than Jiang Li or Ruan Jinming's performance just now.
The 33 judges of the 1st jury exchanged opinions and voted on each other, and after a long three minutes, President Thomas announced the final results.
"The winner of the first game is," President Thomas raised his glasses and raised everyone's heartbeat to his throat before calmly saying, "From Huaxia, Jiang Li!"
In an instant, countless cheers rang out from all over China, and all the people who supported Jiang Li couldn't help but boil!
This competition is also the first victory won by the Huaxia team in the Enning Piano Competition! (To be continued......
