"Alas, it's a pity, it's just a little bit short!" A young female fan in the audience sighed loudly when she saw the score read out by the host.

"That's right, I just like the last "Overture to the Dead" so much, it's the best song I've heard in the past few days, why didn't such a contestant win the first place? He deserves to be number one. A boy next to the girl chimed in.

"These judges are old men who can't appreciate Overture to the Dead at all, they're too pedantic. A contestant who can write such a tune can't get the first place? This is ridiculous! A young fan said dissatisfied.

Thousands of miles away, Chen Siying in front of the TV saw the final result of the game, and her face was full of disappointment.

"Oh, what a shame, just a little bit. But Siying, don't be unhappy, this result is not bad, isn't it? And the "Overture to the Dead" he played at the end is really super cool, when did you call him to come to the United States, I want to listen to him play it for me in person, okay? Dai'er looked at Chen Siying unhappy, smiled and comforted him.

"Okay, no problem." Chen Siying's previous unhappiness was only for a moment, and for her, there were too many scenes she had seen since she was a child. Although this match is the world's top competition, it is just a small scene for her. It's just because of Liu Yufan's relationship that she cares more. Ever since she was with Yu Fan, she unconsciously thought about everything from Yu Fan's point of view. Although she knew that it was the first time for him to participate in such a world-class competition, it was normal for him not to win the first place, but when she really saw such a fact, she was still a little disappointed. But fortunately, the training she received since she was a child allowed her to quickly adjust her mentality.

"Oh, what a pity, just a little bit." Li Xiaoling, who was in the audience, watched the host announce the results, and also looked pity, and then took out her mobile phone and turned it on and dialed a familiar number.

"What are you busy with, beauty?" Li Xiaoling waited until the phone was connected, and the first sentence was laughing and teasing.

It was none other than her best friend Jiang Ya on the other end of the phone. In other words, she came to interview the Liszt Cup this time, not only with the tasks in the station, but also arranged a lot of "side" tasks for her, her "best friend". One of them is to report to her at any time about Liu Yufan's competition. When Li Xiaoling asked her why she didn't ask herself, Jiang Ya was full of words, afraid of "disturbing Yufan's game". Li Xiaoling was also helpless about her doting on this "little boyfriend" so much, and repeatedly warned her not to spoil this guy, but it seemed that her words didn't seem to have any effect at all.

"Wait for your call, hey, how's it going? Isn't it over? How many places is Yufan? On the other end of the phone, Jiang Ya's voice was somewhat urgent.

"Giggles, I said you're so anxious, I'm squatting here every day for a little interview, it's hard enough, and you don't know how to comfort and comfort me." Li Xiaoling knew that Jiang Ya was in a hurry and deliberately teased her.

"If you get my good Ling'er, don't make trouble, I'll invite you to a big meal when you come back, you say you can go anywhere, it's all right." Jiang Ya said with some complaint.

"Giggles, okay, don't tease you. Your little lover, play well, second place, how about it, this is a world-class event, this little handsome guy is quite capable. Hey, you don't know, the one he played at the end was called "Overture to the Dead", it was so good, even I was fascinated by it. You'll have to ask him to record it and give me a CD. Li Xiaoling said with a smile.

"Second place, huh?" Hearing Li Xiaoling's words, Jiang Ya's voice was a little lost.

"Alright, don't be dissatisfied. The second place is good, you know how strong the people who competed with him are, this ranking is quite powerful, and it is 0.2 points worse than the first, and the next time you have the opportunity to work hard, maybe you will be the first. Li Xiaoling smiled and comforted on the phone. …,

"Well, Xiaoling, I see. By the way, it's the first time for Xiao Fan to go out so far, if he needs anything, you can help me take care of it a little more. Jiang Ya said uncomfortably on the other end of the phone.

"I know~~~ Okay, I won't talk to you, I'm going to interview, it's too late and there is no camera." Li Xiaoling said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

In the center of the stage, hearing the host's final results, Liu Yufan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a faint sense of loss surged in his heart.

Second place, that sounds pretty good! If it was before he didn't come to the competition, Liu Yufan was definitely quite satisfied with this ranking.

But at this moment, there was something unbalanced in his heart.

This imbalance comes from the performance of the players he has seen.

Yes, they are very strong, including Valodos, who is now ready to win the title, he is a little stronger than many people. But Liu Yufan thinks that if the two of them are together, he is not inferior to him. And as far as the performance just now is concerned, Liu Yufan is also confident that his performance will definitely be above Valodos.

However, this is a competition, it is a competition, there is a certain amount of chance, Liu Yufan also knows that his appearance order is not dominant, and the songs chosen, in addition to "Chasing Snow", the difficulty of the other two songs is also slightly low. It's ridiculous that he thought that the judges were not only looking at the difficulty of the song, but also on the expressiveness, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little naïve. He was even a little skeptical now that when he played those pieces, especially the last "Overture to the Dead", the judges would really understand? After all, they are classical.

Liu Yufan had some doubts in his heart, but at the moment, he couldn't help thinking too much. The other nine contestants have already taken to the stage, and with the help of the host and staff, they are in formation and ready to start accepting the awards.

Compared to many domestic competitions, the arrangement of the Liszt Cup is quite simple and efficient. After the host announced the results of the competition, a simple award ceremony began.

The first thing to do was the presentation of the Excellence Award, which was won by four contestants, including Wang Yujia and Maxim. At the moment of receiving the trophy, several people held it high, and the expressions on their faces were very happy. After all, for them, being able to get to this point is already very successful in itself, and as for this excellence award, it is also fair to them, after all, the level is there, and compared to the previous ones, they do have a gap.

Lang Lang and Kozlowski, as well as a female player from the Juliet School of Music in the United Kingdom, Ai Wen, won the third place, although this result is a little unsatisfactory for Lang Lang, but he has just received an invitation from DG Records, solving his biggest problem at present, it can be said that the mood is also quite good, and he did not show too much dissatisfaction with this result.

Kozlowski, on the other hand, seemed to be a little worried about this position, not too satisfied, and did not show much smile on his face when he received the trophy.

Liu Yufan is the same, although he has a stylized smile on his face, but he is a little unconvinced in his heart, especially when he is the second place, he is still with the nasty mud bombardment player Teng Village Shunichi, which makes him even more unhappy.

Seeing that guy standing next to him and smiling at himself, Liu Yufan couldn't wait to punch this guy in the face.

"Laugh, laughing, little devil, I haven't settled my account with you before!" Liu Yufan glanced at Teng Cunjun and said with hatred in his heart.

After receiving the trophy and certificate from Berezovsky, Liu Yufan shook hands with him, and at this moment, a sincere smile appeared on his face. …,

For Berezovsky, Liu Yufan still has a good impression. Although this guy is a bit cynical, he has a sense of justice. I met him twice and left a good impression on myself. In the process of scoring himself in the final round, he gave the highest score, and it was a lot higher than several other judges, which made Liu Yufan still have a good impression of him.

After awarding Liu Yufan, Berezovsky held his hand and said with a smile: "The competition is over in a while, are you interested in having a drink?" ”

Hearing Berezovsky's words, Liu Yufan was stunned. This is still awarding awards, why did this person think of drinking? This thinking is really wild.

However, he had a good impression of Berezovsky, and when people took the initiative to invite, he naturally had no reason not to agree. At the moment, he nodded and said: Okay, Mr. Berezovsky, this is my pleasure! “

Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Berezovsky didn't say much, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, as if encouraging and comforting.

The Liszt Cup Piano Competition, which has attracted the attention of music fans around the world, has finally come to a successful conclusion. For the music fans, it was enough to get over the addiction, and for the organizers and TV stations, they were all happy, and they all achieved the expected goals. It's just that for the players, there are a few joys and a few sorrows.

Half an hour later, Liu Yufan and Berezovsky sat in a small bar not far from the music center, with a very poetic name, "Scarecrow" bar.

Raising the beer in the cup at Liu Yufan, Berezovsky poured it very boldly, then put down the wine glass, looked at Liu Yufan and said with a smile: "Lost to Valodos, are you not convinced?" ”

Hearing Berezovsky's words, Liu Yufan was stunned for a moment, and then he came over, subconsciously shook his head and said, "No? ”

"Oh, young man, don't be so hypocritical.

I can see it all, that Valodos, not as good as you! Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan with a surprised look, as if he was very satisfied with his performance, and took another sip of wine, and then said seemingly casually: "Actually, this game, from the beginning, was doomed to the result, it was just a boring, longitudinal game."
