Chapter 43: A Blockbuster
The night before the game, everyone was excited and excited, and they told me not to be nervous, but they were nervous, and I wanted to laugh, but no, I just told them very calmly that I wasn't nervous at all! They didn't get used to it, and they felt that the words of encouragement they were full of hadn't come out yet, so why was I so calm.
I don't know what other people's mentality was before the game, I'm very calm now, I had a little worry a few days ago, but now it's gone, maybe if you don't have hope, you don't have expectations, you don't have expectations. It's not negative, it's supposed to start later than others, and my hand is injured again, which affects my performance, what else can I hope for? It's all about getting a long view, and it's all about participating!
Daddy's performance is worth pondering, he didn't heckle with everyone, he just kissed me on the forehead and whispered: "Good night when you first see me, have a good dream!" "It was like there was no such thing as a match tomorrow, and in his arms, I fell asleep very quickly, and it was a really good night's sleep.
The venue is set in the stadium, ten minutes' drive from my house, we arrived half an hour in advance, Teacher Qi was already waiting at the door, seeing me, she was very satisfied, praised: "The first time I saw today, it was so beautiful!" "That is, I wore a black sweater with a red sleeveless dress today, and my father personally combed my hair, picked a bunch of hair on each side and turned it into a braid, coiled on the top of my head, fixed with a ribbon, and the rest of my hair was naturally draped over my shoulders, which was very elegant!
"Teacher Qi, you are also beautiful today!" Teacher Qi is still dressed in black today, but the pants have been replaced by a long skirt, which is very elegant.
"Miao, this is the genius student you are talking about?" I didn't notice just now that there was a person standing next to Teacher Qi, who looked like he was in his forties, wearing a beige suit, and the whole person was very energetic.
"Yes, teacher, that's her! Very talented! When I looked at him, I heard Teacher Qi answer respectfully, it turned out that this was her teacher, I was a little surprised, how did the old man become an elegant uncle?
"Let's go in, we'll find out if you're talented!" He gave me a deep look and led the way in.
Entered the venue, there were not as many people as I imagined, at this time Mr. Qi told me that this is the finals, there are only twenty players, I was a little surprised, others are all through the five levels and six will be all the way from the preliminary round, the semi-finals, but I directly participated in the finals, I really don't know whether it is the role of my father or the role of Mr. Qi.
I drew the eighteenth, this position is quite bad, the excellent contestants are almost finished, the judges are tired, who still has the heart to calm down and listen to me play the piano, Mr. Qi has been comforting me, saying: "Just follow the performance during the practice!" "I don't care, I don't expect to win the ranking anyway, it doesn't matter.
The game began, the first one on the field was a girl from Tianjin, 10 years old, playing the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", as soon as I came up, I was shocked, the more I listened to it, the more frightened I was, I really deserved to be a master all the way through, all of them were not simple masters, which one was better than me to play. Especially the seventh girl, she played "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", and when the last piano note fell, the applause of the audience almost didn't overturn the roof. Is that a kid's playing, I think it's better than the discs I've ever listened to, I don't think I can surpass her anyway, but now the only way to do it is to change the tune.
Thinking like this, my heart became more and more calm, and when I came on the stage, I smiled faintly at my father and them, and calmly went on the stage. Standing on the stage, I bowed calmly: "Qin Chujian, my name is Qin Chujian, and the song I played today is "Remembering the Old Man", I hope you like it." I decided to play this piece temporarily, and I didn't have time to see the teacher's expression, sitting in front of the guqin, my heart was like water, the familiar melody echoed in my ears, I took a deep breath, gently raised my hands, and the music flowed out like water.
The sound of the piano is slow, quiet, such as walking alone under the empty mountain and the moon, touching the scene, the past scenes reappear in our hearts, we have walked hand in hand at the ends of the world, those mountains and seas, so many beautiful scenery we have seen through together, but we haven't had time to see the long stream of water together, thousands of cups and thousands of cups to reward confidants, only hate the short night and thin Xia through the clothes. Where will he be at this time? My mood fluctuates with the sound of the piano, and now I just hope that he can be happy.
As I thought, a smile crossed my face, and in this laughter my hands stopped on the piano and the music stopped abruptly. There was silence in the audience, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
How? Am I playing badly? When I didn't know why, I don't know who took the lead in applauding, the audience immediately boiled, like a tide of applause after bursts, I stood up and bowed for a curtain call, at that moment I saw my father's smiling face, and suddenly felt that for this smile, let me do anything.
"First time, you, great!" Teacher Qi gave me a thumbs up, her face was full of excitement, I had never seen her look so happy.
"That's it, sister, you play the best!" Qin You slapped his hands red.
"Of course, our eldest lady will be able to win the first place!" Uncle Hymers was absolutely sure.
I looked at everyone with a smile, and I was extremely happy in my heart, not because of the game, but because of family affection, only a family, only relatives would really cheer for you and be happy for you!
When the judges were about to announce the results of the competition, everyone was excited, and many people stood up and listened carefully with bated breath.
Champion, runner-up, runner-up, all the awards are announced, no me. Uncle Hai was anxious, "What's the matter, why is there no eldest lady, how well the eldest lady plays, did the judges make a mistake?" No, I'll have to go to them. As he spoke, he was about to run on the stage, but was stopped by his father, "You give me a stop!" ”
To be honest, I was also a little disappointed in my heart, how fierce the applause was just now, why didn't I even win an encouragement award.
"Everyone be quiet, quiet, the following announcement of the most important, but also the most unique award, its winner is Qinhuangdao 9-year-old player Qin Chujian, although her skills are not as skilled as other players, but the emotions conveyed in her piano touched everyone here, this is the meaning of the guqin, is the hope of our guqin. I announce that this Best Unique Award will be awarded to Qin Chujian's child, and at the same time, I have a decision to tell you, that is, I want to take her as an apprentice and personally teach her the art of the piano, so as to pass on the hope of our national musical instruments! Qi Miao's teacher, Lang Xinning, one of the judges, pushed the atmosphere to the top, and people were shouting and shouting.
Uncle Hai picked me up at once, "Great, Miss is amazing!" Daddy took me and hugged me tightly, with his forehead against mine, "Good daughter! "My heart is soft, soft and happy!
Standing on the podium, I was as bright as a fire, and my idea was right, they were all dressed in white, and I was the only one in red, like a dancing flame in this early spring.
When I gave my acceptance speech, one of the foreign judges asked me in English, "Why do you want to learn the guqin?" I laughed and said to him in fluent English, "For the sake of playing for myself, for the peace of my heart!" He smiled and raised an eyebrow exaggeratedly, "Goog, Verdgirl!" "The cameras were all on me, and I was clicking.
"Qin Chujian, you are really good!" Backstage, Lang Xinning looked at me much more kindly.
"Thanks for the compliment, I was originally good!" I laughed like him, "But I'm not going to be your student." ”
Lang Xinning was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting me to reject him, "Why?" ”
"There's no why, I just don't want to." I shook my head and said to him. Just don't want to, it's that simple.
Sitting in the car, looking at the small trees falling backwards, I thought, tomorrow's newspapers should be flooded again.
