Chapter 100: The Beginning of the Finals
The venue for the finals is not ordinary, it is actually the auditorium of Tianhai Conservatory of Music, which can accommodate at least thousands of people.
Most of the judges invited to the finals this time are professors from the Conservatory of Music, and even a well-known piano master in China was also invited to be the judges of this final.
The piano master's name is Shen Yan, who is the organizer of this piano competition, and spent 30,000 yuan to invite him to comment on today's finals for a day.
Since Shen Yan has taken the fee, he naturally does not dare to slack off, and at the same time, he hopes to find one or two good seedlings from these geniuses, and he may be able to train world-class pianists in the future.
Shen Yan's age is not very old, he is just 35 years old, but at this age in the world of piano, if he can't reach the peak, it means that the next step is a period of decline that keeps retreating, and he can only eat his old book.
Once a person is old, the dexterity and reaction ability of his fingers will be a little unable to keep up, although Shen Yan has worked hard, he has to admit that he is not as good as he was ten years ago.
Looking at the little pianists around him who were already actively preparing for the finals, Shen Yan did not feel bored, but looked a little looking forward to it.
His piano career is almost over, but that doesn't mean he can't teach a stronger pianist, does it?
"Luckily, it's Sunday, so you don't have to skip class to come and watch the final. "At the back of the auditorium, there were already several people sitting together.
On weekends, without the organization of teachers, many students still came spontaneously.
Chen Jinghe didn't know why, he knew that watching Jiang Weiyu's game was purely to make him look more uncomfortable, but he still couldn't help but come.
Sitting in his position, watching the classmates in Jiang Wei's language class talking and laughing, he seemed a little alone.
"Isn't this Chen Jinghe? Also come to see the game between Jiang Weiyu and Xu Jingting in our class?" one person pulled Chen Jinghe over and said to sit next to him, anyway, everyone is not a stranger.
Chen Jinghe nodded and sat next to these people.
Liang Fengyang and Song Xian are no exception, and they don't want to miss the opportunity to appreciate genius.
The head teacher, Mr. Zhang, also sat silently in another position, and waited for the start of the finals.
In the aisle leading to the auditorium, as well as in the conservatory hall below, there were many contestants who were not ready to enter the auditorium early.
"There are so many people, do so many people like pianos now?"
"After all, on Sundays, there is a piano competition, and many people want to come and see it. ”
"Your child is so beautiful, and he is also here to participate in the competition, I don't know how many places in the competition are in the district?"
"Our child entered the finals with the first place in the district, what about your child?"
"Coincidentally, our child is also the first in the district. ”
The two parents showed off to each other, talking and laughing on the surface, but in their hearts they were saying that our children must be better than yours.
Xu Jingting's parents looked around in the concert hall, and they could smile a flower on their faces.
"Jingting, behave well this time, there may not be a miracle, you are in the hearts of your parents, but you are the most powerful!" Xu Jingting's parents are full of hope for their children.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. However, they are really strong, I'm afraid they can't compete with them. ”
Xu Jingting is only the third place in the district, and the possibility of getting the trophy among the geniuses in these ten districts is very low.
"Don't be afraid, you haven't played yet, you can't lose the momentum first!" Xu Jingting's mother encouraged.
At this time, a girl passed by Xu Jingting, and after hearing the words of Xu Jingting's parents, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth and smile, which had a sense of disapproval.
She is the first place in the competition in Linjiang District, Tianhai City, and she won the first place with an absolute advantage, when she heard that others were struggling and wanted to get a medal, she was thinking in her heart that the first prize of this competition belonged to her.
What Xu Jingting didn't know was that when she was talking to her parents, she had been psychologically crushed by other geniuses.
The girl's mother said, "Xiao Ke, you must work hard this time, if you can win the first place in the finals, your mother will take you to Hawaii to have fun." ”
"Really, then I must get this first!"
At the age of six, she was able to play the piano grade 9 piece "Flying Bee Dance", so she didn't believe that there was a stronger opponent than her.
And this year, she is only 12 years old, and she has already defeated a 14-year-old big brother and sister in the 12-14 year old group competition.
"Well, that's right, our family Xiao is the most powerful!" The girl's mother patted her daughter's little head, feeling more and more happy and proud in her heart, and also felt that among her peers in Tianhai City, there was no stronger piano strength than her own daughter.
When Jiang Xia came to the downstairs hall of Tianhai Conservatory of Music, the entire hall was already relatively empty, and everyone basically entered the auditorium, waiting for the official start of the finals.
Among the many player positions, there is one vacant position that is more conspicuous.
"Go ahead, come on. Jiangxia said.
"Wei Yu, you don't need to say much about your strength, go and show the level of a performer, so that everyone can envy it. Qiao Chuhan smiled.
Qiao's mother simply said: "You won the first place in the finals, whatever you want, your godmother will satisfy you." ”
Jiang Wei nodded very obediently, then waved her hand, walked into the front entrance, and sat in the contestant's seat.
"Wei Yu, you're finally here, and the game is about to start. Xu Jingting said with a false alarm.
"There was some delay on the way. ”
"How prepared are you? I know my strength, and there is no hope for a medal. How are you? You're the first in our division, your goal should be the first, right?" asked Xu Jingting.
"Sort of, but I'm not looking for the first. ”
"What's that?" Xu Jingting didn't understand.
"It's to satisfy my dad and my sister Chu Han, who taught me the piano. ”
Xu Jingting felt that she would definitely not be able to reach the height of Jiang Weiyu, and she didn't even have any obsession with being the first, and she had risen to another level. Anyway, she thinks that winning a small trophy in the competition is her goal.
Jiang Xia took Qiao Chuhan and Qiao's mother and sat down in the corner. In this way, when you leave the scene, it will not affect other people.
Bai Yiru had already come to the scene early, but she didn't say hello to Jiang Xia.
When she saw Jiang Weiyu, her heart was full of joy, but when she saw Jiang Xia actually bringing other women with her, she felt a little jealous in her heart.
"This guy, will you go to find another woman if you succeed?" Bai Yiru rolled her eyelids, feeling a little strange in her heart. However, thinking that she was divorced, she still tried to maintain a calm appearance.
Finally, the race begins.
Shen Yan cheered up.
As a famous pianist, he is even more famous in China than many professors in conservatories, but he does not have any shelf. As a judge, he also wants to do this well with his heart, so as not to live up to the fees paid to him by the organizers.
The host asked today's contestants to come to the stage, gave a certain introduction to everyone, and then distributed the number plates of the game.
"This is my child!"
"This is my child, isn't it handsome?"
"Your kids are so cute. ”
There was a commotion below, but it can be seen that every parent is proud of their children standing on the stage.
"Today, our lineup of judges and guests is also very strong, they are ......" The host introduced the judges and teachers on the scene, and the audience also applauded politely.
Everything is ready to go.
In a short time, the first player was already on the field.
When I was playing, many people were already comparing themselves to the number one player on stage, and I hope to perform better.
However, there are also a few people who look like they are bound to win, and they don't care about how the No. 1 player on the stage performs.
A boy walked on the stage, and the atmosphere below seemed to be much more active than before, and many people exchanged heads, most likely the favorite to win the piano competition.
He sat in the piano chair, and the silence below quickly became silent.
Pedal!
At first, it was a slow two-tone note, but all of a sudden, his speed was like that of a wild horse, his fingers moving around the keyboard like wheels.
"Chopin Improvisational Fantasia OP66, piano grade 10 repertoire. "Someone quickly reacted to what kind of song this was.
"It's so bold, I dare to play this one, and I play it very well!" someone below exclaimed in his heart.
Some of the other contestants' faces also changed slightly.
"The piano in Changxing District is the first, and the strength is really strong. "Even the first place in several other divisions was a little unable to sit still under such piano music.
Whether it's good or bad, make a judgment in an instant, even if they are the first in several divisions, after the previous piece of music pops out, they already know that unless it is a mistake, they can't compete with this little boy on the stage.
"Yes, the pace is great, but it's still a little slower, not reaching the original speed of 168, and in some places, it's still not enough, not as good as me. Ye Xiaoke, who was the first in Linjiang District before, still maintained his advantage in his heart, with a confident smile on his face.
The rest of the players, except for Jiang Weiyu, were already a little shocked, and their faces were very ugly.
Ye Xiaoke calmly looked at the expressions of the others, and the result made her feel very comfortable, but when her eyes fell on Jiang Weiyu's body, her heart suddenly tightened, because she also felt that kind of fearless confidence in Jiang Weiyu.
