Get ready for a piano competition
The results of the semi-finals came down quickly, the number of people decreased, and the speed of revising the papers was much faster. Su He is still the first in this exam. This time, the test paper is more difficult than the first competition, mainly because the questions are a little biased, Wang Nannan is the second place this time, and Su He's first place is more than 20 points away, but Su He doesn't dare to underestimate her, because compared to her, Wang Nannan is a real genius.
In general, there is no prize money in the Olympiad, at most there is a medal and some small souvenirs. But Walsai is different, the first place is the first prize, there are bonuses and gold medals, and the high reward is also a major key to attracting people, Su He got 10,000 yuan, the second prize is 3,000 bonuses and silver medals, the third prize is 1,000 bonuses and bronze medals, and the encouragement award is only a certificate of merit.
After learning of this reward, Su He was silent. But after a while, Su He became excited, if she participated in more competitions, wouldn't she be able to make a lot of money. In her previous life, she only felt that it was difficult to make money, but she didn't want to make it like this, so she earned 10,000 yuan just by taking two exams, an average of 5,000 yuan a day.
Su He felt that she had found a new direction, although Su's father left her a lot, but no one would have too much money. And it's earned while she's doing what she loves.
The money was directly transferred to Su He's living expense card, and her grandfather said that she earned it and let her keep it for herself. Although my grandmother gave Su He a card every month to transfer living money, Su He was almost useless, because my grandmother would give another tuition fee, lunch was eaten at school, and the money was paid once a semester, and my grandmother paid it, so I didn't need to spend money. Everything in Su He is ready, and it can be said that there is no place to spend money.
Su's father and Su's mother gave the original owner living money since he was in elementary school, saying that it was living expenses, but in fact, Su's mother solved the place where the money was going to be spent, and what she gave was Su He's pocket money. The card was used to save money for Su He, and it was also given to Su He later. Originated from the autism of the original owner, so the original owner hardly went out alone, and when he had time, he was also studying alone, so he didn't touch the money at all.
The pocket money saved for ten years is amazing in Su He's opinion, even if the money has depreciated in later generations, it is still a lot of money. A total of 8,510,080,000, judging from the transfer records, the first one was when she was born, and she transferred 6 million to come in, which should be a red envelope wrapped by relatives and friends, and it was very popular at that time. The monthly pocket money is 10,000 yuan, and there will be money coming in during the New Year's festival and birthday.
This money can buy a good villa in a first-tier city when the house price soars in the future, not to mention that now the house price is low, the house is almost the price of cabbage, Su He decided to have a few sets in his hand when he has the opportunity in the future, anyway, these things will depreciate again, and the things are still in his hands, so he is not afraid.
After the competition, Su He began to be busy for the upcoming piano competition, constantly practicing the tunes to be played, which were the most difficult pieces to play, Su He was not very sure that he could play them naturally, and he still needed to practice well. The time transitioned very quickly, and it was soon May to come.
A few days before the start of the piano competition, my grandparents asked for leave in advance, because there were formal reasons and Su He's previous Olympiad awards, so the school was very happy to give approval.
The preliminary round was held in City B on the 17th, and it was quite close to my grandparents' house. Auntie is not very busy at this time, and there is nothing to do, so Auntie took a few days off and took her grandparents to watch Su He participate in the competition.
On the afternoon of the 15th, Su He's family set off to take a plane to City B, and his grandfather said that he would adapt to the arena in advance and adjust his condition. Mr. Li would also go to City B to watch Su He's game, but he had something to do in another city on the 15th, and he set off directly from there on the 16th, so he didn't go with Su He and them.
Originally, Mr. Li was also a judge of this competition, but later he recommended Su He to participate in the competition, so he turned down the invitation of the competition party, and he didn't want anyone to gossip. But Mr. Li invited many of his friends to watch the game.
The order of play is randomly arranged by the computer, sent to the players' mobile phones in advance, there are more than 100 players in total, and the game time is two days. This is a top youth piano competition in China, and the participants are 6-26 years old, but even so, Su He's age is very young. Su He was the twentieth on the second day.
Because today's event is a selection competition, there are quite a lot of people participating in the semi-finals, but some of the people who participated in the competition have heard of Su He before, or they have met in the competition or on the stage, but they don't have much to deal with. The original owner would never take the initiative to say hello, and with a straight face, most people stayed away.
"You can't just practice by yourself, you have to listen to others, see if there is something in other people's places that you lack, and then improve it. Everyone has their own strengths, so we should see and listen more, and learn from the strengths of others to make up for our own weaknesses."
Master Li didn't stay with Su He, he asked several old friends to watch the game today, and he didn't bring any children, so it was not suitable to bring Su He's junior. So he took Su He to the concert hall, and only told Su He to go to his old friends with such a sentence.
Su He, who heard this sentence, thought for a while, Su He agreed with this sentence, a person will definitely have defects, many things that have not been thought of may have been thought of by others, and then pondering for a long time is tantamount to useless work, and then there is only one day left to go on stage, the basic skills are there, and it is meaningless to practice temporarily.
Because the competition is very famous in China, and several judges are also pianists who enjoy a lot of wealth in the world, and there are many people who come to watch, so the venue for the event is very large, which can accommodate thousands of people, which is very grand in the industry.
Today she was watching other players play, so she didn't go backstage but to the audience. Standing at the entrance, looking at the crowd queuing up to enter, Su He was glad that Master Li had not forgotten to give her the admission ticket, otherwise it would be embarrassing, this kind of admission ticket has to be taken in advance, and now it is estimated that there is no more.
Her volume should be considered internal, and the middle position is very forward, so that you can clearly see the movements of the performers' hands on the stage, and you can feel the sound of the piano well.
The piano competition is different from the piano examination, which is to perform the fixed repertoire of the examination within three minutes for 2-3 judges in an ordinary music classroom, but the competition is completely different, facing more than 3 judges, and then there is a large audience, like this time, there are thousands of people watching, and the contestants have to show the complete repertoire. This is not only a test of piano skills, but also the mental quality of the players.
And this competition is national, the participants are some players with solid basic skills and relatively high playing skills, like Su He, a young grade really dare not participate, even if Su He was in his twenties in his previous life, if it were not for the support of Mr. Li, he would not dare to participate in this competition, it is not that there is no self-confidence, there are so many people in the country, there are so many excellent people, and there are many excellent and hard-working people, how dare you go to it after only a few years of study.
