While Duan Zi was thinking about it, at ten o'clock in the morning, after all the personnel were almost there, the game began.

Duan Zilian immediately came back to her senses and didn't think about those miscellaneous things.

First, it was the host who gave a boring opening speech, and finally announced the official start of the competition.

Then, the host introduced the judges and special guests one by one.

This time, the judges are different from those in the preliminary round, and their authority is more advanced.

Finally, under the command of the host, all the participating students went to the stage in turn, drew the competition number, and then made a temporary competition list in order.

Duan Zilian drew the twelfth, which is a relatively high number of games.

Subsequently, Duan Zilian and a group of contestants sat close to the stage, with Feng Hui from the same urban area as him on his left and an unknown boy on his right.

"What number are you?" It can be seen that Feng Hui is a little nervous, and while the first contestant has not yet performed on stage, he took the initiative to talk to Duan Zilian to relieve the tension in his heart.

"Twelve." Duan Zilian showed him his number plate.

"Twelve, that's fine, at least it won't be so forward, unlike me, I'm number four." Feng Hui cried with a sad face.

Glancing at the number plate in Feng Hui's hand that read "No. 4", Duan Zilian mourned for him for a second or two.

After all, the players who come to the stage in front of the stage are generally under more pressure than the back.

Feng Hui is the number four, you can imagine how nervous he is now.

"I'm going to play a more difficult tune later, although I haven't fully mastered it yet, but I can only spell it out at this time." Feng Hui said firmly, if you don't fight hard, you may not even be able to enter the top ten.

Duan Zilian thought about it, although the impression was not very good, but after all, it was from the same urban area, so he said: "Then come on." ”

After saying that, Duan Zi was bored, so he looked around and saw that there were cameras controlled by the staff in all directions of the theater, and he didn't know if they would broadcast the game live, or just record the game.

Just when Duan Zipian was thinking about this boring thing, amid the host's speech and warm applause, the first student to participate in the competition took to the stage and, after a brief self-introduction, began to play.

Soon, the first three contestants finished their performances in an ordinary way, and then the No. 4 contestant, that is, Feng Hui, took the stage.

Then, as Duan Zilian guessed, Feng Hui wanted to challenge a difficult track, but the challenge failed.

After all, Feng Hui didn't fully grasp the piece he was going to play, coupled with factors such as nervousness, it was no wonder that he wouldn't fail.

The front is okay, although the rhythm is a little wrong, but there is no big problem, but in the middle part, Feng Hui played the wrong part, and after panicking for a few seconds, he barely finished playing the back part, and finally got off the stage.

He thought that he would be like the protagonist in those fantasy works, able to explode on the spot and perfectly play this piece that he has not yet fully mastered.

Even, in order to increase the probability of breaking out, he still thought back to the years when he used to learn piano before playing the piano.

But it turns out that most of the cases that want to break out on the spot by idealism still only exist in fantasy works, and even if they exist in reality, there will not be many such cases.

Seeing Feng Hui return to his seat in annoyance, Duan Zilian shook his head.

Although the impression of Feng Hui is not very good, Duan Zilian still has some regrets.

To be honest, Feng Hui's level is still good, if he can play well and honestly play a song that meets his level, there is still a good chance of being able to squeeze into the top ten.

And now, if he wants to enter the top ten, it is completely hopeless, and it is estimated that it is difficult to even enter the top 20.

"Go back and practice hard and strive for zero mistakes." Duan Zilian gently patted Feng Hui's shoulder and comforted him.

"It's just a little bit, that one is wrong, and the back is all collapsed." Feng Hui thumped his chest and felt remorseful.

After Feng Hui's performance, the participating students walked onto the stage one after another in order.

When the ninth player came on the court, Duan Zilian saw that the person on the field was a boy wearing gold wire glasses who took the lead in accosting Li Shuning at the dinner last night.

When he took the stage, he gave a brief introduction to himself, as usual, and then began to play.

He played Chopin's "Fantasy Improvisation", which is a light, ethereal, light and moving piece.

Listening to the tune played by the man with gold wire glasses, Duan Zi couldn't help but nod pitifully, I have to say that the piece he played is still very good, and it should be ranked in the top ten, or even higher.

Soon, the five-minute melody slowly stopped, and the five judges in the audience nodded and commented.

"Well, it's not bad, although there are a few mistakes in the whole process, but it's already rare."

"The technique is good, but it ignores the emotions and sounds a little hollow, but it's still a good tune."

"When you are young, you have to practice more skills, emotions or something, and you will understand it when you are old."

"It can't be said that you can't comprehend emotions when you're young, isn't there another example? In the preliminary round, one student played a song "Bell", which not only played very well, but also played the soul of the song, which was perfect. ”

"Being able to integrate your own emotions into the song and play the soul of the song is the pursuit that runs throughout."

The five judges had a small argument about whether young people should focus on skill or soul when playing, but fortunately, they still knew that this was the scene of the competition, and they relented in time.

The man with gold wire glasses standing on the stage listened to the arguments of the five judges, and although he still had a smile on his face, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

With a quick glance on the stage, he saw Duan Zilian.

The example the judges said was Duan Zilian, if the judges hadn't compared him to Duan Zilian, he would have received a one-sided compliment, not the current situation.

Therefore, he was a little unhappy.

Coming off the stage, the man with the gold wire glasses returned to his place, and the two boys from the same city as him comforted him.

"What is the use of the soul, now technique is the criterion for evaluating piano music." One of the boys said so.

"But the fact that he can play the song 'Bell' shows that his skills are also very good." Another boy followed suit.

"Hmph." The man with gold wire glasses snorted coldly: "When he comes on the stage, I want to see what kind of evaluation the guy who can play the soul of the song can get." ”

In the theater, the piano competition is in full swing.

Soon after, it was time for the eleventh contestant to play, and towards the end of his performance, Duan Zilian stood up and entered the lounge behind the stage.

The level of the eleventh contestant is okay, decent, two judges reluctantly encouraged, but the remaining three judges are too lazy to comment, and directly let the eleventh contestant leave.

"That's the next student." Looking at the list of contests, one of the judges cheered up.

"The one who played "The Bell" in the preliminary round?"

"Yes, I don't know what kind of music he will play this time, with his level, it seems that we should be able to look forward to it."

"To be honest, among all the participating students, he is the one I am most optimistic about."

"It's not, at such a young age, his level is so powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius."

"However, there are a few students other than him who can look forward to it."

It wasn't until Duan Zilian came to the stage that the five judges quieted down.

They leaned back in their chairs, ready to enjoy Duan Zilian's performance.

Like all the contestants in front of her, Duan Zilian made a brief self-introduction, then sat down in front of the piano, pondered for a while, and began to play.

At the beginning, Duan Zilian's hands danced back and forth on the keys quickly, and a rapid melody suddenly sounded, and it continued at an unabated speed, like a wild bee flapping its wings and whistling.

At the beginning, the pace was so light and fast that the judges and many people in the audience did not react immediately.

After being stunned for a moment, the judges finally came to their senses, and they recognized this piece.
