A while before the end of the welcome dinner held by the Genes government for the participating teams from various countries, Su Qianqian found Jiang Li on Xu Zhi's instructions and euphemistically expressed his hope that he would stay in the hotel arranged by the Huaxia team, but he was refused.

"So—that's how I replied?" Su asked tentatively.

"Well, Miss Xiexie. Jiang Li nodded.

As soon as Su Qianqian wanted to go back, he heard Peng Yi shouting: "By the way, Su Qianqian, if Xu Zhi also asks about me, you say that I won't go back." ”

"I see. Su smiled lightly and left generously.

"How is it? Are you tempted?" Peng Yi poked Jiang Li ambiguously with his elbow, "Su Qianqian is the flower of Gaoling in our Guangdong Province, everyone is beautiful, gentle and graceful, and the man who pursues her can circle Yangcheng eight times!"

"Even if you circle the earth eight times, it doesn't matter to me. Jiang Li looked at Peng Yi and said seriously, "It's you, Master Peng, you can think about it, if you catch up, you can start a family and start a business, and really pay attention." ”

"That's not good, the romance is my attitude to life, the big husband does something and doesn't do anything, I only spoil those who don't know self-love, like to be cheap and greedy for vanity, and I don't look down on women from good families. A look of pain flashed in Peng Yi's eyes, but he pretended to be indifferent.

Jiang Liruo glanced at Peng Yi meaningfully, and then said: "No matter what, you are not required to quit drinking and sexuality, you must also be restrained, this is for your own good." ”

"Got it, more verbose than my mom, gone. Peng Yi shook his head and walked forward.

Xu Zhi listened to Su Qianqian's reply, and saw Jiang Li and Peng Yi walking in front of him as if no one was around, leaving the banquet hall, trembling with anger, but helpless.

The hatred in Lu Ming's eyes had almost condensed into substance. He was once again stolen from the limelight by Jiang Li, and was slapped invisibly, this shame must be washed away at the Enning Piano Competition!

Thinking of defeating Jiang Li and passing all the way, Zuihou won the championship under the watchful eye. and even became Su Qianqian's official boyfriend, the Su family's fast son-in-law, his career and prestige are thriving, and Lu Ming's depressed mood is swept away, yes, what is this matter, the key is that he wants to win the championship of the Enning Piano Competition!

"Jiang Li, I hope you can jump a little longer. Hold on until I beat you with my own hands, so that it won't be too boring, five years, from the end of the last competition to now, I have been preparing, I will let you understand who is the real big winner!"

The night is getting deeper, beneath the calm surface of Prague. There is an undercurrent surging, and the teams of each country confirm each other's opponents. Analyze the situation and study countermeasures.

For teams with three or more entrants, there is also an important task to determine the exemptions for the first round.

Participants with exemptions do not need to participate in the first round and will advance directly to the next round, as the number of participants varies from country to country. The number of exemptions is also different, Huaxia has four exemptions for up to 10 people, four for countries with nine people, and three for countries with seven and eight people...... And so on, a country of three people and four people is one. Countries with one or two people have no exemptions and must all go to war.

The number of participants in each session of each country is determined by the Genes Music Association according to the performance of the competition after the end of the last Enning Piano Competition, but there are special circumstances, such as Huaxia, although the performance of the previous competitions is not enough to meet the requirements of ten places, but it has not lost this privilege, but the time will always come, and this time is the key battle to determine whether Huaxia can continue the privilege of ten places.

The rules of the first round of the competition are that countries without exemption quotas challenge the countries with exemption quotas, duel in pairs, fight each other, compare the advantages and disadvantages, and survive the performance of the more haode contestants, until all the contestants from the countries without exemption quotas compete in one game, generally speaking, many small music countries with only one or two contestants without exemption quotas will become cannon fodder in the first round and be eliminated, and the contestants outside the exempt quota in the national team with exemption quota may also be cut to pieces.

This is a ruthless melee, being challenged is only accepting, being compared to will be eliminated, either you die or I live, because the first round allows different contestants to launch multiple challenges to the same contestant, if a contestant unfortunately experiences this kind of wheel war, even if the strength is excellent, the energy may be consumed too much, which will affect the later higher-level battles, in addition, there are no exemption quotas in the small music country may also emerge some extraordinarily strong contestants, there is a great uncertainty.

Therefore, for the purpose of protection, countries with exemption quotas usually protect the aces and elites of their national teams with exemption quotas, so that they can recharge their energy and avoid early elimination, and release other participants as bait and cannon fodder.

This exemption is entirely up to the captain of the national team.

Xu Zhi is a little hesitant now, the three exemption places have been determined, namely Lu Ming, Su Qianqian and Wei Zidan, so there is still one exemption place left, which was originally intended to be given to Peng Yi, but the other party's performance disappointed him so much that it shook his mind.

"What do you think? Lu Ming, you say first, you are the finale ace of the Huaxia team this time, and your opinion is very important. Xu Zhidao.

Seeing that Xu Zhi valued him so much, Lu Ming couldn't help but straighten his chest, and said loudly: "First of all, I think Peng Yi and Jiang Li are definitely not suitable, regardless of anything else, their irresponsible attitude alone is not enough, they are all in the official competition, and they also live in hotels by themselves, engage in specialization, go alone, and have no sense of teamwork at all!" And everyone should know the history of the two, Peng Yi used to be a gangster, Jiang Li was a grandiose pop star, and he turned into a genius young pianist, which is really ridiculous, and the foundation is too shallow to be trusted. ”

Xu Zhi smiled and nodded, Lu Ming's words were said to his heart, Jiang Li didn't mention it, he didn't think about giving the exemption to the other party at all, as for Peng Yi, he was a little embarrassed, because Peng Yi's family was also well-known in the classical music industry, and before leaving, Peng Yi's parents asked him to take more care of him, and he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, which was the real reason for his embarrassment.

However, after Lu Ming said this, Xu Zhi slowly made up his mind, after all, it was only Peng Yi's parents who came forward, and it would be good to find a casual excuse when the time came, so he said, "You still have something to say, right?"

"Yes, after excluding Peng Yi and Jiang Li, I suggest ......" Lu Mingruo looked at Liu Fei meaningfully, and the other party immediately replied with a look of affection, so the corners of his mouth slanted, and said, "Give Zuihou an exemption place to Liu Fei, Liu Fei participated in the last Enning Piano Competition, has rich experience, played well on the spot, and almost entered the top six last time, after five years of precipitation, the strength is not what it used to be, and this time it will naturally go to the next level." ”

Xu Zhi bowed his head slightly and looked at Liu Fei, Liu Fei immediately smiled elegantly, revealing a gesture of respect and admiration, which undoubtedly made Xu Zhi have a little more affection for her.

Then Xu Zhi symbolically asked the others, "What do you think?"

Su Qianqian originally wanted to defend Jiang Li and Peng Yi, but after thinking about it, it was better to forget it, after all, seeing that Xu Zhi had made up his mind, there was no need to do useless work, as for Wei Zidan, he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and the others had no right to speak, so they naturally didn't dare to have opinions.

"Okay, that's it, in the first round of the competition, the exemption places are Lu Ming, Su Qianqian, Wei Zidan and Liu Fei, the four of you must carefully appreciate and watch other people's performances, recuperate, adjust your state, and pay attention to those who may become opponents. ”

"Yes. ”

"Alright, all disband, rest for the night, tomorrow, the Genes Royal Concert Hall!"

"Yes!"

The exemption quota is the right to have three or more contestants on behalf of the team, for the small music country that has the right to challenge but does not have an exemption quota, the most important thing is to determine the object of the challenge, choose well, even if your own strength is weak, you may enter the next round of the competition, if you hit the iron plate, then even if your own strength is very strong, you may be wiped out directly.

Therefore, it is common sense to conduct a survey of the contestants, compare with each other, and choose weaker opponents to challenge.

Originally, Jiang Li did not attract much attention, but after the welcome dinner, it naturally became the focus of the investigation of the national teams, regardless of whether there was an exemption quota, through the investigation, people were surprised to find that in addition to the amazing performance in the Chinese qualifiers, Jiang Li's history in the classical music industry is basically blank, and what is even more strange is that except for the first performance of Enning's ninth etude, the other performances are all original etudes, which is simply ...... It's a wonderful, incredible!

Everyone who has investigated Jiang Li is confused, what kind of rice situation is this? Jiang Li started to use original tunes in the qualifiers, is he ready to use original songs to reach the finals in one go?!

Or is it actually a strong inside, strong outside, and dry in the middle?

"This Jiang Li, it's a bit interesting!" The captain of the Italian brigade looked at the bright moon outside the window and smiled meaningfully.

The captain of the Yingji team lit a valuable cigar, and by the way, he also lit the investigation information about Jiang Li, and his eyes were bright and uncertain in the firelight.

The captain of the Austrian team snapped his fingers and said calmly: "We'll see soon." ”

The captain of the Russian team pondered for a long time and said to himself: "It's still that Lu Ming who is more dangerous." ”

The captain of the American team looked up to the sky and yelled, "Oh!MyGod!Are-you-kidding?"

The captain of the Sunrise Team said disdainfully: "Whoever stands in my way, kill, kill!"

……

This night, there are undoubtedly many people who are excited and unable to sleep, and there are also many people who are restless, tossing and turning, whether they are nervous or excited, they will compete in the next Enning Piano Competition......!
