Chapter 117: Foreign Competition 2 (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

March 20, 9 a.m. local time.

The 3rd British G International Youth Piano Competition officially kicked off.

Mo Mo, Mo Ming, and Lu Lei went to the match point in advance, and it didn't take long to understand the general situation.

The organizing committee and jury members of the competition are all world-renowned pianists and teachers, and this competition is favored by more and more young pianists.

More than 300 contestants from 33 countries, including Azerbaijan, Finland, Italy, Spain, Huaxia, France, Romani, Ruidian, Czech Republic, Indonesia, South Korea, Britain and the United States, participated in the competition. (Country name river crab, helpless)

Of course, "invite" and "pianist" are official terms, but in fact, they are all self-registered, and there are no real pianist contestants.

The competition is divided into 4 age groups based on age, namely debut group for 9 years old and below, Group A for 12 years old and under, Group B for 16 years old and under, and Group C for 20 years old and below.

Mo Mo didn't want to bully children, he asked Lu Lei to sign up for Group C, and the age was 16 years old, in fact, he just wanted to bully adults.

In foreign countries, you can't wither, too modest will make foreigners feel cowardly. To be domineering is to be strong, such as Lao Mei.

There are only two judges in the preliminary round, and the rules of the competition are very simple, just put an etude on stage. The judges felt that you didn't play well, so they directly asked you to step down, and they wouldn't let you continue to play, and they didn't save face for you.

It was almost eleven o'clock, the host shouted "NO250, momo!", this pinyin made the host entangled for a long time, did not know how to make a sound, shouted twice, it felt similar to the sound of the cow shouting, causing the scene to laugh.

"NO250, boy, are you sure you're not making a mistake? This is Group C for adults!" The judges saw a brunette kid walk up to the stage, his green face must be underage, and he asked, "How old are you?"

"No! I'm in the adult C group! I'm 12 years old. Mo Mo heard the trumpet, and without waiting for Lu Lei's reminder, he came on stage and spoke fluent English.

"How can your brother speak English, and he speaks it well!" Lu Lei, who was in the audience, turned to ask inexplicably, she was really curious, it was better than her.

"He's a genius, he's only been learning for a few months, who wants to know how he learned, you just have to get used to it. "Inexplicably, he is not much surprised, his cousin is often so unexpected, just get used to it.

"OK, I'm only twelve years old, I'm very calm, please continue!" The judges didn't say much, and it was not for nothing that the group was crossed, but at most it was overtaken by the group. Although he was curious about the brunette kid, he would like to hear how well he played.

If he doesn't play at the level level, let him OUT.

Mo Mo played a grade 10 piece, Chopin's etude "Black Keys".

Mo Mo lowered his hand and dropped the key, and the sound of the piano sounded, which calmed the judges and the audience.

"Hey, it feels a little wrong, Xiaomo's piano level has improved a lot. As soon as Lu Lei listened to it for a while, she felt that something was wrong.

She felt that Mo Mo played freely, unrestrained, and flowing, and she was free to fly smoothly. This level is completely comparable to her, there are surprises, and more surprises.

A few minutes later.

"Perfect pass!" The two judges were fascinated by the sound, and it was not until the end of the song that Mo Mo was about to walk off the stage, and he heard the applause of the surrounding audience before he quickly made an evaluation.

Mo Mo walked off the stage, Lu Lei touched his head and said praisefully: "It's really perfect, it's better than what I play." ”

"Hehe, Teacher Lu taught well!"

Lu Lei was praised so sweetly in her heart, like a blooming flower, her voice was crisp and loud: "Giggles, I didn't teach you anything, go back, the finals will only be tomorrow, it seems that even if it is Group C, you will have no problem winning the award." ”

The three left the match point and walked around the city to buy some local specialties, and found a lot of "Made in China".

At 2 p.m. local time, the final officially began, and the Group C match was placed at the end.

There were only five finalists in each group, and at half past four in the afternoon, it was the turn of Group C, and Mo Mo was ranked fifth, and there were three more judges.

The four contestants in Group C all showed a level of 10 or even a level of performance, and the scores of the five judges were relatively high, with the average score of the first place being 89.9 points and the average score of the fourth place being 82.3 points.

Half an hour later, it was Mo Mo's turn to take the stage.

Today, Mo Mo is wearing a suit and vest, and his leather shoes and hair are shiny. In Mo Mo's words before he came to power, it doesn't matter if others lose face, but you can't lose the face of the country.

Mo Mo wore sunglasses, walked on stage with his head held high, and immediately detonated the two or three thousand people in the concert hall of the Grand Theater. He walked to the middle of the stage, took off his sunglasses, smiled faintly, and gave a gentlemanly salute to the judges' bench.

"Very good little boy, Momo, how old are you? Are you sure you are only twelve years old, how do I feel that you are very mature, or do you Huaxia people are very mature?" a female judge looked at the contestant's profile carefully, and asked curiously, she wanted to tease the little boy.

"Twelve years old, no matter how familiar I am, I am not as familiar as your sister. After Mo Mo finished speaking, the audience also burst into laughter, the judges were obviously thirty or forty years old, and they were still called sisters.

Mo Mo's quick and clever answer, calm expression, and fluent English, really didn't look like an eight-year-old child, and quickly won the joy of the audience.

"Wow, good English, really good at speaking!" another judge said praisefully, "Are you sure you are in Group C? That's the adult group, although you played very well, you should have listened to the first four contestants just now, but if you want to win the prize, it is estimated that it will be difficult." But I admire your courage. ”

"We Chinese people are still courteous and do not bully the weak. Mo Mo pretended to say.

The judges gave a thumbs up, and although they said it arrogantly, the speaker was an eight-year-old child, and no one was too surprised, but they just thought it was cute.

"Momo, did your parents come with you?" one of the judges asked quippedly.

"No, I came with my brother and sister. Mo Mo said weakly.

"What do your parents do?" asked the last judge.

"My parents are farmers!"

After Mo Mo finished answering, he walked to the piano and sat down.

Group C, with a 12-minute time limit, begins with an etude by a virtuoso and then a repertoire of your choice for different styles.

The first piece Mo Mo played was Chopin's etude, which was more difficult and exceeded level 10.

During the pause, Mo Mo left the seat, and everyone didn't know what he was going to do.

I saw him slide more than ten meters directly after the space step, and suddenly the audience stood up in shock, and some of the audience shouted loudly, what was originally an elegant piano competition became like a noisy live performance.

Mo Mo slid to the edge of the stage, and suddenly there was a backflip, and everyone thought he was about to fall off the stage, which caused many people to scream to be careful.

"Wow!"

After a backflip, the toes are firmly on the edge, and then the mechanical dance is followed by a clumsy robot, and when it reaches the stool, the robot does not know how to turn around or how to step over.

Suddenly, the robot smirked at the audience. Bend over, support your hands firmly on the stool, slowly lift your feet off the ground, and rhythmically straighten your legs until you stand 90 degrees, bend your arms, and then bounce up hard, flipping in the air, and your butt is just sitting on the stool.

It's a very simple question, but it's very complicated.

A set of movements down, just half a minute.

The audience was dumbfounded, and it was not until Mo Mo sat down that thunderous applause, as well as cheers and screams.
