Lu Mu was a little surprised to see so many people walking together: "Xiaoxiang, what's going on?" ”

"The school's No. 1 Symphony Orchestra is going to the arena to help me play." Lu Xiang'er replied with a smug face.

"So that's the case, no wonder you said that it's inconvenient to go with Chen Wenhan, it turns out that there are so many classmates who set off together." Lu's mother sat in the waiting hall, looking at more than 100 people in Wuyang, and even felt flattered for her daughter.

Fang Xing wore a mask and hat and sat next to Lu Xiang'er.

I didn't bring an agent or assistant on this trip, I only brought a boarding suitcase, and I traveled lightly.

Lu Mu noticed Fang Xing.

After all, a boy who sits next to his daughter, wears a hat and mask all the time, and talks to his daughter from time to time, as a mother, it is impossible not to notice.

Mother Lu pulled her daughter's arm and asked in a low voice, "Is this also a student of your school?" ”

"Well, it's ......"

Lu Xiang'er's tone was not so sure, although Fang Xing was indeed a student of Dongyin, he had already graduated.

Fang Xing heard the mother and daughter's muttering, took the initiative to take off the mask and hat, and greeted: "Hello Auntie, I am a vocal music major in Dongyin." ”

When Lu Mu saw Fang Xing, her expression was stunned.

Because she felt that Fang Xing was very familiar, very familiar.

She usually doesn't watch talent shows, but her daughter has been on "Singing", although there is only a half-second shot that has been swept by, but as a mother, she must watch it again and again.

And in that "Singing" competition, Lu Xianger accompanied Fang Xing, and sang "Qili Xiang".

Mother Lu has watched that episode of the show many times, and naturally she is very familiar with Fang Xing's appearance.

"Are you...... I feel like you're very similar ......" Lu Mu couldn't name it all of a sudden.

"I'll wake up." Fang Xing took the initiative to answer.

"Is that the singer on TV you?" Lu Mu asked.

Lu Xianger knew what her mother meant by "on TV", and she also knew that her mother had watched the second issue of "Singing" many times, so she quickly interjected:

"Yes, he's the singer on TV, and we've played in the symphony orchestra."

Lu Mu nodded slowly, and asked suspiciously, "Then this time?" ”

She couldn't think of the use of a singer going to Genoa.

Fang Xing explained: "Well, I play the piano, and this time I will accompany Xiang'er." ”

When Lu's mother heard the title "Xiang'er", she felt a little too close, and this name was not appropriate.

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly frowned, turned her back to her mother, and looked at Fang with a sober look.

Fang Xing added: "She helped me accompany me before, and this time it was my turn to return the favor." ”

Lu Mu had new doubts: "But you just said that you are a vocal music major?" ”

Lu Xiang'er felt that if she continued to ask like this, her mother would find out the household registration, so she hurriedly interjected: "Mom, his piano level, Dongyin piano major, few can compare." You might as well worry about my daughter. ”

Lu Mu nodded and smiled: "So that's the case." ”

After getting on the plane, Lu Mu's gossip soul began to explode, even if Lu Xiang'er landed in the middle of the seat, there were still all kinds of questions to ask:

"You're a star now, aren't you?"

"I'm just a singer at the moment."

"No wonder I wore a mask all the time when I boarded the plane."

Seeing that Fang Xing didn't bring an agent, assistant, or makeup artist, Lu Mu subconsciously thought that Fang Xing was among the stars, and he belonged to the kind that was not very famous.

The reason for this misunderstanding is that Lu Mu rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry.

If she is a TV drama actress, she may still know her.

The singer also has an impression of the old singer in the past.

If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er who participated in "Singing", and that issue was accompanied by Fang Xing, Lu's mother wouldn't even recognize Fang Xing.

After all, Fang Xing never received notices, nor did he act.

has only been on two programs, "Rising Star" and "Singing".

Older viewers who don't watch these two shows basically don't know who Fang Xing is.

This is the manifestation of the lack of national qualifications.

This Paganini rematch is very important to Lu Xianger.

As a mother, I naturally attach great importance to it.

Lu Mu continued to ask, "Your piano is really fine, right?" When the time comes, don't drag Xiaoxiang back. ”

Fang Xing nodded patiently and agreed: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Lu Xiang'er covered her forehead helplessly, took out her mobile phone, found out the video of Fang Xing on "Tomorrow's Star", playing and singing "Nocturne", and stuffed it into her mother's hand: "Look for yourself, don't ask again." ”

Lu Mu watched the video carefully, and after watching it, she felt okay, nodded and praised: "It's really not bad." This song is also a little familiar, Xiaoxiang, did you always play this song before. ”

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly took back her mobile phone, shook her head and quibbled: "How can there be a total pull, you are mistaken." ”

……

Grand Theatre of Genoa, Italy.

Tuesday at two p.m.

The semi-finals of the Paganini International Violin Competition are about to begin.

The contestants have already arrived at the Grand Theatre backstage to wait.

Spectators entered the arena one after another through the gates.

As a family member of the contestant, Lu's mother must have come to see her daughter's competition.

Similarly, Chen Wenhan's mother also appeared at the door of the Grand Theater.

After Mother Lu saw Mother Chen, she smiled and took the initiative to say hello: "Mrs. Chen, it's so early." ”

Mother Chen saw Mother Lu appear, and she also smiled and went over to hold hands: "I said that I would come together, but you changed your mind again." ”

Lu Mu hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, there are more people traveling with me this time, and it is really inconvenient to be busy." ”

Mother Chen smiled heartily: "What is there to apologize for." Let's go, today we sit together and watch the kids play. Wen Han has been preparing for today's game for more than half a year. ”

"Okay."

The two mothers held hands, like good sisters who had known each other for many years, and sat down together in the Grand Theater.

This time, in addition to Chen's mother, there were also several elders of the Chen family.

After taking a seat, they began to talk endlessly.

"Mrs. Lu, you know, right? The Paganini tournament is not guaranteed to produce a champion. Chen's mother took the initiative to bring up the topic.

The daughter entered the Paganini semi-finals, and Lu's mother naturally understood the rules of this event, and nodded and replied: "Of course I know, I heard that there has been no championship for three consecutive years." ”

"That's right, I haven't had a champion for three times. This year Wenhan is very promising. Chen's mother's face was full of confidence.

The Paganini International Violin Competition, held every two years.

Not having a championship for three consecutive years means not having a championship for six years.

This is how the rules of the Paganini International Violin Competition are, with seven judges scoring the contestants' performances.

The full score is 100 points, seven judges score, remove the highest score, remove the lowest score, and the remaining score is taken as the average score, which is the final score of the contestants.

In that competition, it was not the player with the highest rating who won the championship.

One of the reasons why the Paganini International Violin Competition has a high gold content is that it is not enough to score first in the competition, and it is necessary to reach the scoring line of the champion in order to win the championship.

If there is no player in a certain tournament who reaches the championship scoring line, then the champion of this tournament will be vacant.

As of this year, the winner of the Paganini International Violin Competition has been vacant for three years.

The Chen family's expectation for Chen Wenhan is for him to impact the championship of this year's Paganini International Violin Competition.

Take this crowning glory in the violin world.

The game is about to begin.

The tournament host takes the stage, announces the rules and precautions of the game, and then begins to schedule the players to play.

The order in which the matches are played is determined by drawing lots.

In this match, there are a total of ten players.

Lu Xiang'er drew No. 3 and suddenly became nervous.

She took the number back to Fang Xing, and was so nervous that she kept taking a deep breath: "It's over, I'm the sixth to appear, and in front of me is Patrick Pate, I feel like I'm going to finish." ”

Patrick Pate was the first place in the preliminary round with Lu Xianger.

"Don't be nervous, we're just here to give the world a performance, it doesn't matter what the competition is." Fang Xing smiled and reassured.

"When you say that, I'm more nervous, isn't that harder than the game?" Lu Xiang'er's face drooped.

"Don't worry, moderate tension is better." Fang Xing continued to reassure.

"But I feel like I'm out of moderation." Lu Xiang'er looked like she was begging for comfort.

The game started in a tense mood.

The first contestant to take the stage, a blonde female violinist, played Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 9.

After the performance, the judges began to score, removing one highest score and one lowest score, and finally scored 87.73 points.

Players participate in the competition one by one.

When the third player appeared, it was Chen Wenhan.

in the audience.

Mother Chen excitedly took Lu's mother's hand and said, "Wen Han has appeared, whether he can win the championship depends on this performance." ”

Now Lu Xiang'er has not yet appeared, so Lu's mother is still very relaxed, and said: "Mrs. Chen, don't worry, Wen Han's level is so high, there must be no problem." ”

"That's true, Wen Han must be fine." Chen's mother is very confident in this.

Chen Wenhan played Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, and the whole performance was very strong.

The audience can hear that Chen Wenhan's score will definitely not be low.

After listening to the performance, Chen's mother suddenly clenched her fists: "Very good, it's perfect, it should be there." ”

From a technical point of view, Chen's mother can be sure that her son's performance has no technical problems, and he played this piece perfectly.

Of course, the violin competition is not only a competition of technique, but also of something above technology.

If only the technology is compared, then the computer-generated tone is the most perfect, without any flaws.

However, what is above technology is called art.

If there is anything that human beings will not be eliminated in the face of technology, it is art.

Of course, art is an ethereal thing, and it's hard to explain clearly.

And the competition uses people as judges, and it is this kind of ethereal standard that is pursued.

After Chen Wenhan's performance, the seven judges began to score.

After five minutes of waiting, the final score was announced.

Chen Wenhan finally scored 94.60 points, temporarily ranking first in the game.

When Lu Mu heard this score, she immediately congratulated: "Wen Han is really powerful, and he is currently the first in this game." ”

The smile on Chen's mother's face disappeared.

The score of 94.60 points is indeed not low, and there is even hope to win the first place in this competition.

However, this score did not reach the scoring line for the Gold Award, which is also known as the Champion Score Line.

In other words, if no player in the back can surpass Chen Wenhan's score.

The champion of this year's Paganini International Violin Competition is vacant again.

Although he couldn't win the championship, the scores of the previous players were not high, and Chen Wenhan still had a great hope of winning the first place in this session.

Anyway, there has been no champion for three consecutive years, and it is not surprising that the champion will be vacant for another one.
