The third competition was not shocking, it seems that in the first two competitions, the potential of outstanding players has been released, and the third competition is not particularly outstanding in the youth group or the youth group. However, this kind of performance is more in line with the characteristics of the Jianghai Cup.

It's no wonder that if they are all anti-heaven players like Liu Yufan, Mo Xi, and Su Anran, then the others don't have to live, and they just quit the game.

In the three-day preliminaries, 60 players were directly selected to enter the finals, with 30 players in the youth group and 30 in the youth group.

On the day of the final, it was a Saturday, the school was closed, and the crowd watched the game, most of them teenage students and accompanying parents.

Since Mo Yan and Ma Hua also came to watch the game, Jiang Ya did not drive her own mini again for convenience, but drove Ma Wendong's Mercedes-Benz over. The elongated Mercedes-Benz S-Class is naturally more than enough for three people.

Mo Yan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked a little nervous, obviously, he was anxious about the news brought back by Yu Fan in the past two days, and it was not good to even take a break. Although I don't know what the relationship between that Mo Xi and him is, looking at his appearance, he must be an extremely important person.

In the morning, the finals of the junior group, after three days of selection, the rest of the contestants are of very high quality, although not as amazing as the youth group, but the overall level is above the amateur level nine, and the one who finally won the first place has reached the level of performance level 2, it seems that in the preliminaries in front, there is still a lot of strength.

The most exciting youth finals began. From the preliminaries, I learned that there were several talented players in the finals, and the heat of this game was also high again and again, especially when entering in the afternoon, there were half more people than in the morning.

Mo Yan sat in his seat, his eyes began to look for something in the audience, and seeing him like this, Yu Fan and Jiang Ya had to comfort him.

"Teacher Mo, don't worry, there are a lot of people here, it's hard to find them one by one, and when the competition starts in a while, you will be able to see her." Jiang Ya said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Mo, Mo Xi will definitely come to the competition, don't worry." Liu Yufan also comforted.

"Yes." Mo Yan agreed, but he was a little absent-minded, obviously he didn't listen to the words of the two people.

Seeing this situation, the two of them sighed, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so they let him go, but fortunately, the game was about to start.

Ma Hua looked at the lively crowd in the audience, and his interest was also raised, and he asked Yu Fan: "Hey, Yu Fan, you said that it is a piano, why are so many people watching, our big drum is also a fun art handed down from our ancestors, why no one has a game for it or something?" ”

This MCA really does not leave the bank in three sentences, and he said that he was on his drum as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hehe, second master, what you said is also true, I really haven't seen a competition for Chinese drums. However, the things left by our ancestors are indeed fun, we can't throw them away, we have to carry them forward. Liu Yufan nodded and said.

Liu Yufan admired the Chinese drum so much, obviously he was very interested in MCA, and he smiled happily: "Yes, it can't be lost." By the way, Yu Fan, what kind of new folk music did you talk about last time, when will you do it, I'm looking forward to it every day. ”

"Hehe, second uncle, don't worry, when this game is over, we will rehearse immediately." Liu Yufan said with a smile. Regarding the new folk music version of "New Kangding Love Song", the arrangement and orchestration have been completed by him and Wang Baocheng, and the rest of the work is to find a recording studio to record it after the rehearsal is familiar. For this song, Liu Yufan is full of confidence, the success of the previous song "On the Moon" also gave him great confidence, on artistic achievements, Liu Yufan feels that this "New Kangding Love Song" is only higher than the previous "On the Moon", and the prospect must not be wrong!

With a round of applause, the afternoon finals began.

The order has been assigned before the game, and Liu Yufan's appearance order is relatively high, No. 6, so as soon as the game starts, he has to go backstage to wait.

"Yu Fan, play it well, just take out your usual normal level." Although he had something in his heart, seeing Liu Yufan on the field, Mo Yan still confessed a few words, and he was still very concerned about his student.

"Well, I will, Teacher Mo, Second Uncle, Sister Ya, then I'll go on stage first!" Liu Yufan said, nodded at Peng Tielin and An Quantao not far away, and then walked to the backstage.

"Distinguished guests, viewers and friends in front of the TV, hello everyone! Here is the final scene of the youth group of the 2nd Jianghai Cup Piano Competition, thank you for your attention and support to the Jianghai Cup......" Jiajia stood in the center of the stage and explained with some excitement.

In the past two days, the leaders of Taiwan have talked to her twice, and the content is naturally about the Jianghai Cup. With the continuous improvement of the attention of the Jianghai Cup competition, Taili has paid more and more attention to this competition, not only increasing the intensity of interviews and publicity, but also putting forward higher requirements for the host. This made Jiajia feel stressed and excited at the same time. After all, the more influential the show, the better it will be for the host. She had a vague feeling that maybe after hosting this game, she would probably improve.

"Since the start of the Jianghai Cup, it has received the care and support of people from all walks of life, especially the majority of music lovers, and I would like to say thank you to everyone first!" Jiajia said, bowed to the audience, and in the applause, continued: "This Jianghai Cup competition can be said to be full of highlights, not only with high-level judges like Mr. Shi Shucheng, but also with many excellent piano players, it can be said that it is wonderful, and we Jianghai people have dedicated a rich musical feast. I believe that this afternoon's finals, there will be more wonderful clips staged, well, I believe everyone is the same as me, some can't wait to watch the game, next I announce, Jianghai Cup Piano Competition Youth Group finals officially began, first of all, let us invite the first contestant, Gu Wei, he brought you the repertoire is Shostakovich's prelude composition No. 87. Jiajia said, turned sideways to the side of the stage and made an inviting gesture, and Gu Wei, who was wearing a black tuxedo, walked onto the stage.

Facing the judges on one side and the audience in the audience, Gu Wei bowed with a serious look on his face. He is a student in the piano department of the China Conservatory of Music, and when he first participated in this competition, he originally participated in it with the mentality of playing, and in his opinion, even if he won the first place, he could not show any ability. But it turned out that he was wrong, although this competition seems to be very amateurish, but a few players who occasionally pop up, but almost all of them are against the sky, he is in the piano department of the Chinese Academy, and his results are not bad, but in the face of those strong opponents, he feels that he has no advantage at all, which is why he showed such a dignified expression in today's competition.

Moreover, his luck was really bad, and he actually won the first place. Although the order of appearance in the piano competition does not have much impact on the results, the first place will always suffer some losses. Fortunately, Gu Wei has adjusted his mentality, with his level, he will not be able to win the first place no matter what, in this case, it doesn't matter how many games he plays, it is better to enjoy the game to the fullest.

Because of this, he chose this prelude to Shostakovich, which was a little beyond his ability, since he couldn't win the game, Suo did his best to show it, and let Shi Shucheng comment on it, which can be regarded as a gain.

Sitting in front of the piano, Gu Wei raised his slightly fat hands and played this ballade.

Shostakovich is one of the important composers of the former Soviet Union, but also a world-class famous composer, he wrote many works in his lifetime, among which the most famous 24 preludes and fugues about the piano are one of the best works in the piano literature of the 20th century, they have achieved a perfect unity in content and form, and are widely loved by pianists.

Of course, the difficulty of playing these pieces is not something that ordinary players can control, and the pianist who can play these pieces smoothly must at least reach the level of professional level 3 or 4. With Gu Wei's current level, although he can bounce down, he also needs to pay full attention and dare not be sloppy.

Gu Wei's chubby hands rise and fall slowly and sharply on the piano keys, and the law is strict between ups and downs, which shows the quality he should have as a professional player. But judging from his solemn face and the fact that he didn't dare to leave the keys for a moment, it was obvious that he was not playing easily.

In the background, Liu Yufan didn't see Mo Xi, thinking that her order number should be relatively low, so he listened attentively to other people's performances.

Gu Wei was impressed, Gu Wei's performance in the preliminaries was relatively good, but because the music he chose was relatively simple, Liu Yufan did not see his true level, and listening to him play this prelude at the moment, he had a general understanding. Although it is an improvement from the previous performance, it is still very limited. I guess I belong to the kind of students who are not good or bad in the conservatory.

After playing the song, in the applause of the audience, Gu Wei stood up and bowed, and then stood up and prepared to continue the game.

Different from the preliminary round, the final round adds an improvisation item to the assessment of the contestants, that is, to give a musical motive and let the contestants improvise variations, so as to test the improvisation ability of the contestants.

"Gu Wei, please choose one of the thirty questions as your own impromptu question." Facing the big screen, Jiajia said with a smile.

"I'll pick question 8." Gu Wei said one casually.

"Okay, question 8." As soon as Jiajia's voice fell, in a TV wall erected behind the stage, the picture of a full thirty grids suddenly disappeared, and then a simple stave appeared, and at the same time, a short simple melody sounded in the sound of the stage.

After listening carefully to the melody, Gu Wei thought for a while, then sat down in front of the piano and began to improvise.
