Chapter 997: The Piano Competition Begins
At 9 o'clock in the morning on the second day, Xia Xing appeared in the teaching building of Huhai Conservatory of Music, and today's competition is the primary selection of the piano competition.
Xia Xing saw a huge banner that read "The 17th Shanghai Piano Competition", and below the billboard, two staff members were handing out number plates.
Yesterday, Xia Xing received a call from the organizing committee, and more than 1,000 people participated in the piano competition, so the competition was held in the classroom of the Conservatory of Music.
Each classroom will have three judges, and if you want to enter the preliminary round, you must get three votes, and if you get two votes, you can only be a reserve contestant.
At the position where the staff issued the number plate, Xia Xing showed his ID and got a number plate, 8188 represents the order of classroom 8 and 18 represents himself, and the competition time of this audition is 9:30.
Xia Xing came to classroom 8, the door was closed at this time, obviously the judges had not yet arrived, but many contestants had already come to the corridor to wait for the competition.
At this time, the corridor was very crowded, and there were even some parents who accompanied their children to the game, at this time, a young man next to Xia Xing suddenly smiled and asked, "Dude, are you also here to participate in the competition?"
Xia Xing nodded and looked at the other party, this person is in his early 20s, has long hair, and looks like a literary fan.
Xia Xing said, "Yes, I'm here to participate in the competition. ”
The man was a familiar man and said, "My name is Wu Gang, and I am a pianist. With that, he handed Xia Xing a business card.
Xia Xing whispered, "I'm still a student and don't have a business card." ”
Wu Gang said with a smile, "I am a teacher in a piano school, and this time I also came to see how high my level is, if I can learn from my peers, I can improve myself." ”
Wu Gang smiled and asked, "You're still in school, right?"
Xia Xing nodded, "I'm in my third year of high school now. ”
"Wow! That's amazing, I'm only in my third year of high school to participate in such a competition. ”
The two of them chatted, and at this time the judges came to the scene, and there were two women and one man among the judges, both of whom were about 30 years old.
At this time, a staff member came to the door and began to notify the audition, and then the classroom began to have players in the classroom to play, and the first player entered the classroom, looking a little nervous, and his body was a little trembling.
There are no requirements for the repertoire in this audition, just play a song that you are best at.
The sound insulation in this classroom is very poor, and the first contestant has just entered a piano piece that comes out for a while, and this person's piano music is very ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it.
After listening for a while, Xia Xing shook his head, and sure enough, the player walked out soon, with a look of regret on his face, obviously he didn't pass.
"Invite the next player in. ”
At this time, the second contestant walked in, this contestant was a girl, and about 10 minutes after she walked in, another piano piece came out
This person's piano repertoire is obviously much better than the previous one, and Xia Xing feels that this player's level is not bad.
Sure enough, after a while, the girl walked out happily, and she passed without a hitch.
The audition was carried out in a tense manner, and if some of the contestants were not up to the same level, they would be stopped halfway, so by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the audition had been carried out for more than half of the time.
"816 contestants, please enter the audition. At this time, the staff shouted.
The young man next to Xia Xing smiled, "It's my turn." ”
Saying that, he walked in, and soon a cheerful song came out of the classroom, Xia Xing couldn't help but nodded, this young man played the piano music very well, it can be said that it is more outstanding among the people who went in this time.
Sure enough, after a while, Wu Gang came out, with a faint smile on his face, obviously passing.
"Angkor, congratulations on passing the audition. Xia Xing smiled.
"Haha, it's just the preliminary round, it's just a piece of cake for me. Wu Gang showed a smug smile on his face, and then said to Xia Xing, "You have to come on, let's go together after you participate." ”
Xia Xing nodded, and after about 10 minutes, it was finally his turn.
At this time, Wu Gang made a cheering gesture to Xia Xing and said, "Come on, wait for your good news." ”
Xia Xing nodded and said, "Thank you!"
Xia Xing walked into the classroom, at this time the three judges sat at the table, Xia Xing first greeted them, and then sat in front of the piano and began to play, with his hands on the keyboard, a sad song came out of his fingertips.
Hearing the piano music played by Xia Xing, the eyes of the three judges lit up, and even the three judges had closed their eyes and seriously enjoyed the wonderful feeling brought to them by the piano music halfway through.
Finally, after the song was finished, the three judges opened their eyes, and the male judge said with a smile, "This classmate, may I ask what is the name of this song you played?"
Xia Xing smiled, "This is my own creation, so I haven't chosen a name yet." ”
"What didn't you have a name? You created it, it's amazing. At this time, another judge was also surprised.
"Alright, you've passed, and we're looking forward to your next performance. ”
"Thank you!"
Xia Xin successfully passed the audition with a unanimous vote, and he was just about to get up, when he saw a staff member in the corner taking pictures.
Xia Xing walked out of the classroom, and at this time, Wu Gang also ran over and asked, "Xia Xing, have you passed?"
Xia Xing nodded, "Luckily." ”
Hearing Xia Xing's words, Wu Gang patted him on the shoulder, "Sure enough, the person I saw was not wrong, I knew that you would definitely be able to pass." ”
So Xia Xing and Wu Gang left the competition field, but they didn't expect to meet Uncle and Xia Xue on the 2nd floor, both of them were a little surprised to see Xia Xing, they didn't expect Xia Xing to be here.
At this time, the eldest aunt asked curiously, Xia Xing, why are you here?"
Xia Xing smiled and said, "I'm here to participate in the competition." ”
"What? You go to a competition, do you play the piano?"
At this time, Xia Xue was also a little surprised and asked, "Xia Xing, you really know how to play the piano, why haven't I heard of it." ”
Xia Xing smiled, "I heard that there was a piano competition, so I came over to join in the fun, by the way, Xia Xue, you passed the competition." ”
Xia Xue nodded, and at this time, the eldest aunt said proudly, "Our Xiaoxue's level, it is naturally very easy to pass the competition." ”
At this time, Xia Xue said to her aunt, "Mom, can't you be modest?"
Uncle smiled, "Our daughter is a professional level 9, and this competition will definitely be the champion." ”。
At this time, Xia Xing also smiled, "Well, Xiaoxue's level is indeed very good, I look forward to you being able to win the championship of this competition." ”
After chatting for a while, Xia Xue deliberately sat next to Xia Xing and asked in a low voice, "Xia Xing, when did you meet Zhang Wei?"
