The Yanjing Youth Piano Competition is equivalent to the Hu Province Youth Piano Competition in terms of level, but it is better than the Hu Province competition in terms of scale.

It is said that the two are of the same rank because Yanjing is the capital and has the same administrative hierarchy as Hu Province. But there are definitely more teenagers in Yanjing who learn piano than in Lake Province, especially those who can participate in this kind of competition.

So when he learned about this competition, Liu Meng recommended Gao Hao to participate - with his status as a piano master now, he can also recommend contestants.

At that time, Gao Hao participated in the youth group of 13 to 15 years old in Hu Province, and now, he naturally participates in the youth group of 15 to 17 years old. In this way, he, who was once the second place in Lake Province, is not suspected of bullying.

But is that really the case?

Chung Hwa Conservatory of Music, in an office.

"This Liu Meng actually recommended his students to participate in our Yanjing piano competition, isn't it clear that he wants to win the first place." The gray-haired old man smiled as he held a document.

Yu Jia took a look at the information and said, "Gao Hao, the second place in the juvenile group of the 2016 Lake Province Piano Competition." This kid I know that when Liu Meng held a piano recital at the Qintai Concert Hall, it was he and another girl named Gan Shuangshuang who each challenged a difficult song in the world. ”

"yes, that's him." The old man nodded.

Yu Jia put down the information and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, even if this Gao Hao has some achievements, he may not be able to win the first place in our Yanjing youth group, right?" For example, it is difficult to challenge all of them like Liu Meng to play the world's top ten difficult songs, but some piano geniuses can still challenge a piece with low difficulty like Gao Hao and Gan Shuangshuang. ”

Teacher Zhou shook his head and said, "I said that Gao Hao can win the first place, not because of his past achievements, but because of Liu Meng." ”

"Liu Meng?" Yu Jia looked puzzled, "It seems that there is no him in the judges, right?" ”

"Hey, where do you want to go. Liu Meng is a judge. It is also impossible to favor one's own students for personal gain. Teacher Zhou waved his hand, and then said: "You only saw Liu Meng's identity as a piano master, but you didn't notice his other identity." ”

"Another identity?" Yu Jia was even more puzzled.

At the same time, she also felt very depressed, and wondered how she couldn't even keep up with an old man's thinking today.

"Liu Meng, he is still a very good teacher." Teacher Zhou said, "This matter is also what I knew when I chatted with Zhang Qi, do you know how long Gan Shuangshuang, who won the first place in the junior group of the 2016 Hu Province Piano Competition, studied piano with Liu Meng before the competition?" It's just over a year! ”

Yu Jia was stunned when she heard it directly, and at the same time understood what Teacher Zhou meant.

Generally speaking, even super piano geniuses like Qin Yunxian and Fu Xi. I also started practicing the piano when I was a child, and it took several years to achieve something. Even if that Gan Shuangshuang is a genius, he will not be much stronger than Qin Yunxian and Fu Xi. Then she was able to win the first place in the same group of the provincial competition after learning piano for more than a year, which is absolutely inseparable from the teacher who taught him.

The changes that a piano genius can make in the hands of a wonderful teacher who is also a pianist are definitely not as simple as the sum of the two.

At this time, Mr. Zhou continued: "More than a year ago, that Gao Hao was able to play one of the world's top ten difficult songs. What level of performance should he have reached now? You should be able to guess, right? ”

Yu Jia was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses and sighed: "The teenagers who participated in the piano competition in Yanjing this time are unlucky. ”

In fact. It is not only the teenagers who participate in the piano competition who are unlucky, but also those who participate in the calligraphy competition.

Many secondary schools and universities like to hold campus cultural festivals in November, so many related events are also held during this period. For example, the Yanjing Youth Calligraphy Competition.

This competition is no better than the National Youth Calligraphy Competition, and it does not need to be recommended by famous calligraphers, as long as it is a middle school student in Yenching. You can sign up.

The competition was held on a weekend in a cultural plaza in the western district of the city.

On Saturday, the contestants who come to participate in the competition only need to receive a special paper and pen for the competition at the examiner, write down the designated two lines of poetry on the desk next to them, and then write their own information and hand them in.

This is the preliminary round, and the three examiners on the spot will determine whether the calligraphy is eligible to enter the finals.

Gan Shuangshuang was accompanied by Liu Meng, and no one knew Liu Meng, the first place in the last Youth Calligraphy Competition, even the three examiners. I think one is because Liu Meng has too little exposure, and the other is because the three examiners didn't pay attention to Liu Meng - in fact, at the National Calligraphy and Painting Exchange Conference, Liu Meng had seen these three.

Liu Meng didn't mean to blow up his identity, but thought that it was good to accompany Gan Shuangshuang to complete the preliminary round.

Who would have thought that when Gan Shuangshuang handed in the preliminary papers, something went wrong.

Seeing the beautiful but atmospheric font written by Gan Shuangshuang on the white paper, the first examiner couldn't help but look up at Gan Shuangshuang. When he saw Gan Shuangshuang's beautiful face again, he was naturally stunned for a moment, and then the examiner looked at Liu Meng next to him.

At this glance, the examiner was stunned.

"Oh, you're Master Liu Meng, right?" The examiner, who was thirty or forty years old, stood up in such excitement that he almost knocked the table over.

Hearing this person's words, Liu Meng couldn't help but get goosebumps - he always felt that he was so young, and being called a master on the spot, there was a feeling of derogation.

"Mr. Zhang is also a famous calligrapher, and I can't afford this 'master'. I'm young, so you can call me Xiao Liu. "Everyone is called a master, Liu Meng has to show the demeanor of a master.

The examiner surnamed Zhang said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, how can it be judged by age?" Your calligraphy is even praised and respected by Master Zhang Xingzhi, and I have also observed a lot, which is indeed higher than me. ”

Liu Meng was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the other two examiners also recognized Liu Meng and wanted to come over to greet him, Liu Meng hurriedly said: "Today I am sending my sister to participate in the competition, since the three of you are busy, then we will talk another day, okay?" ”

Hearing Liu Meng say this, the three examiners also realized that this is not the place to speak, and now is not the time to speak, so they can only smile apologetically at Liu Meng and continue the examiner's work. As for Gan Shuangshuang's calligraphy scroll, it was naturally passed.

This scene has caused many people to misunderstand, such as the three teenagers who have begun to wait in line at the back, and they are discussing-

"The parents of the girl in front of me know the examiner, the examiner shouldn't have deliberately released water to let her pass, right?"

"I think it's likely."

"You see how enthusiastically the first examiner talked to the girl's parents, it is estimated that the relationship between the two is not shallow."

"Cut, go through the back door in the preliminary round, and when the calligraphy master is the examiner in the finals, she will have no back door to go, and she is not going to be brushed down."

“”

Liu Meng didn't take the discussion of these teenagers seriously, so he didn't tell Gan Shuangshuang.

Gan Shuangshuang also doesn't seem to care much - for her, tomorrow's final is the key. Beating the other contestants in the final and taking first place is her goal.
