Chapter 204: Receiving the Award
"My mother, who died two years ago." Mo Xi's voice was a little gloomy.
In fact, seeing the expressions of the two people, Liu Yufan knew that his words were a little inappropriate, and when he heard Mo Xi's words at this moment, Liu Yufan's expression froze for a moment, and then he said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't know......"
"It's okay, Yufan, it's all in the past." Mo Yan comforted Yu Fan, but he was embarrassed.
Listening to Mo Yan talk about that chaotic era, although his narration was very calm, Yu Fan could also feel the thrill in it! Thinking of the once titan figure in the Chinese piano industry in front of him, but now he ended up like this, he suddenly felt very sad in his heart.
Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Jiang Ya started a round.
"Okay, Yufan, you don't want to look like this anymore, today is a good day for Teacher Mo's family to reunite, we should be happy, so let's find a better place in the evening and celebrate together?" Jiang Ya said with a smile.
These words diluted the heavy atmosphere just now, and everyone was happy again.
Then, Mo Xi talked to a few people about living in the United States. How did her mother pull her to grow up while working in the theater, and when it was the most difficult, she even took the violin to the street to perform, and everyone sighed, Mo Yan's eyes were even reddened several times, and she couldn't help herself.
Mo Xi, who inherited the excellent genes of her parents, showed amazing musical talent at a very young age, although the family conditions were not good, she stood out early with her own efforts and became famous in the local music industry. Later, in a chance performance, he was favored by a teacher at the Curtis Institute of Music and recommended him to enter the academy for further study. Later, he achieved good results in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition and gradually entered the ranks of professional pianists.
It's just that due to excessive work, Mo Xi's mother didn't wait to see her shine, and passed away early, which is indeed emotional.
Several people were listening to Mo Xi in the ward, when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door.
Yu Fan walked over and opened the door, but outside the door was An Quantao with a anxious face.
"Kwon Tao? How did you get here? Is the game over? Yu Fan asked strangely.
"I also said, Yufan, your kid won the first place and was about to receive the award, but the organizer couldn't find anyone, but fortunately, I saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly came to look for you. Hurry up, now Mr. Shi Shucheng is helping to perform, and the award will be presented in a while. It's not just you, but ......" An Quan Tao was saying, and when he saw Mo Xi on the hospital bed on the side, he was a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Anything else about me? Reuniting with his father, the great joy made Mo Xi no longer look cold, but very easy-going.
"Well, that, Mo Xi, you are the second place, the awards will start in a while, can you go in this ~~ situation?" An Quantao asked with some hesitation.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be the second, but you look at the way I look now, I can't go. Yu Fan, why don't you just go, and help me get that award back by the way. Mo Xi said with an indifferent look. This trip to Jianghai, her biggest purpose is to find her father, and her wish has come true at this moment, and the previous Jianghai Cup match is irrelevant.
"I'll help you get it? Is this appropriate? Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"What's suitable or not, it's just a small competition, I believe that with your level, you can't look down on this award, it doesn't matter." Mo Xi said with a chuckle.
Listening to Mo Xi's words, Yu Fan nodded lightly and didn't say anything else. Mo Xi is right, with the current level of him and Mo Xi, such a ranking in the Jianghai Cup is really meaningless. For Mo Xi, the biggest gain was to find his long-lost father, but for himself, the biggest gain was to meet Shi Shucheng and get the opportunity to be recommended to enter the Central Conservatory of Music.
Seeing An Quantao's anxious appearance, Yu Fan glanced at Jiang Ya with a smile, and the latter stood up knowingly and walked towards the outside of the ward with the two of them.
"Dad, this Liu Yufan is your student." Mo Xi watched a few people disappear outside the ward, and asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, for so many years, I have been confiscating students because of the ...... Hey, let's not talk about it. Mo Yan remembered the events of that year, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Back then, his most proud student was the one who shouted "down" to him the most, and Mo Yan still remembered the situation when he swung a big stick at him. Because of this, he has a psychological shadow on accepting students. If it weren't for seeing Yu Fan holding his father Mo Fan's "Drum Sutra", and seeing that this kid has a good surname and a high surname, Mo Yan would never accept him as a student again.
"Well, let him pass the past. But Dad, this Yufan is really powerful. Mo Xi smiled and winked at his father Mo Yan and said.
"Hehe, this kid is willing to endure hardships, his surname is high, and he will definitely have a good work on the piano in the future. I see that you have also learned a lot of things at the Curtis Institute of Music, but their way of playing is more than enthusiastic, and the law is insufficient, and there are still some deficiencies in your basic skills, so you should pay attention to it when you practice in the future. Mo Yan reminded. He is a master of piano education, although he has only watched his daughter play once before, and it is in an emotional situation, but he also has a clear understanding of her level. At this moment, this reminder is undoubtedly in one sentence, just look at Mo Xi's nodding again and again, you must have said similar things to her in the Curtis Institute of Music before.
"Dad, have you ever considered going back to the academy to teach?" Mo Xi asked suddenly.
"I'm not going, I'm so old, what are you going back to do there?" Mo Yan shook his head lightly, but his eyes were full of loss.
Mo Xi felt distressed, knowing that he couldn't overcome that hurdle and couldn't untie the knot in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort this battered father.
On the other side, Jiang Ya drove the car and quickly sent the two back to the game site.
In the center of the stage, Shi Shucheng is playing the brilliant Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, a world-famous piano concerto that many pianists love to play. It is also particularly suitable for playing in a variety of solemn and large-scale occasions. In four days, as a judge, Shi Shucheng also recognized this competition, and when the host invited him to do an impromptu performance on the spot, he readily agreed and played this famous song freely.
"It's worthy of Mr. Shi, the thing that plays is the atmosphere." Seeing Shi Shucheng, who was swaying freely in front of the piano and had strict laws, Liu Yufan secretly praised it.
"Do you need to talk about that? Mr. Shi is a real authority in the piano world! In the Central Conservatory of Music, his fame is also very great. An Quantao said on the side, and then urged Liu Yufan to report backstage and prepare for the award for a while.
Liu Yufan walked backstage, but suddenly remembered Mo Yan, the "big bull" who used to be the director of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and I don't know how he compares with Shi Shucheng in terms of performance.
After making repeated comparisons in his heart, Liu Yufan still had no answer, the level of the two people was too high, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"What's going on! This is also too little emphasis on the competition, why not come now! Wang He, who was in the background, walked back and forth anxiously, muttering from time to time, and several staff members were watching him from the side, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Principal Wang, don't worry, don't you let someone look for it?" Minister Dai said with a smile that compared to Wang Helai, his cultivation is much better.
"Hey, Minister Dai, you say, they don't pay too much attention to the game, with a little level, they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, really!" Wang He said hatefully, this is half true and half false, but many of them are aimed at Liu Yufan. After all, Liu Yufan won the first place today, Wang He was very unhappy in his heart, at this moment to see him despise the game so much, he left directly after playing, and now he can't even see a figure, his mood is even worse!
was annoying, but a figure suddenly came in outside the door, and after a closer look, who was Liu Yufan?
"I'm sorry, judges, teachers, there was a temporary situation and a little delay." Liu Yufan came to the backstage, saw the staff and several judges, and hurriedly explained.
"You're here!" Chang Hua saw Liu Yufan come in, and shouted with a smile. He was quite impressed by this kid, but he didn't think much of his behavior of escaping from the scene, after all, he didn't take this game very seriously.
"Hehe, Teacher Chang is good." In the past few days of the competition, Liu Yufan and several judges are also familiar with it, knowing that the person in front of him is Shi Shucheng's student, who is also a graduate student of the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music.
"Well, it's good to come." Chang Hua nodded at him with a smile and stopped talking. Du Mingyin on the side looked at him curiously, as if he thought he was very interesting.
"Liu Yufan, what's the matter with you, why are you here now? I don't know if I'm going to present the award in a while? Seeing Liu Yufan coming, Wang He was angry, and stepped forward and scolded in a low voice.
Liu Yufan was in a good mood just now, but as soon as Wang He said this, his face immediately fell.
"Mr. Wang, I don't seem to be late, haven't I been late?" Since he learned about his small methods from Ma Wendong, Liu Yufan didn't have a good impression of him in his heart.
"Why didn't it start, after a while, Teacher Shi's performance ended, and it started immediately, you see that everyone else has arrived, don't you know to come a little earlier?" Wang He didn't expect that Liu Yufan was not afraid of himself at all, and his face was a little unbearable.
Seeing that Wang He hadn't figured out the situation yet, Liu Yufan twisted his head to the side and ignored him.
Seeing that Liu Yufan ignored his stubble, Wang He couldn't say a lot of words in his stomach, but only turned into a heavy "hum", and then shouted angrily: "What about Mo Xi, who got second?" Why didn't you come? Don't want to claim your prize? ”
"Mo Xi was not feeling well and couldn't come, so she asked me to accept the award for her." Liu Yufan said lightly.
"What? Not feeling well? Wasn't it good when you first played the piano? Excuse! If she can't come, I don't think she will receive this award. Wang He said angrily.
