Chapter 185 won the gold award, and "Skylark" became famous
After the average score of Lu Xianger's "Skylark" came out, the seven judges in charge of scoring also had different expressions.
In particular, the old-fashioned British judge, after seeing the score of 95.16, had the most strange expression.
Because he scored 80, and if this score is true, then the average score must be very low.
There is only one possibility that there is a score of 95.16, and that is that his 80 points is the lowest score, which has been removed.
In the audience, Lu Mu repeatedly confirmed that the score of 95.16 was not wrong, and then a bright smile appeared on her face, and her mouth was almost grinning behind her ears.
"Xiaoxiang has such a high score, Mrs. Chen ......"
Mother Lu turned her head to look at Mother Chen, wanting to celebrate with her, but when she saw Mother Chen's uncertain expression, she quickly restrained her smile.
His daughter's score exceeded the other son's score, and the atmosphere was very delicate.
Mother Chen is indeed very well-educated, and after her expression changed a few times, she smiled and stretched out her hand to Mother Lu: "Congratulations to Mrs. Lu, Ling Qianjin is really talented." ”
Mother Lu hurriedly shook hands with her and said modestly: "Good luck, just good luck." ”
Mother Chen kept smiling and asked, "I don't know where this piece played by Ling Qianjin came from?" ”
"This ......"
Lu's mother asked her daughter this question before, so she said her daughter's answer as it was: "Xiaoxiang said that a friend composed it for her, and it was specially used for the competition. ”
Mother Chen maintained an elegant smile and said, "Ling Qianjin's friend is indeed talented and admirable. ”
"I don't know if it's any of her friends, but I guess it's a teacher or professor at school." Lu Mu subconsciously felt so.
Chen's mother knew who composed this piece, but she wouldn't explain it, and after the politeness, she sat upright in her position and waited for the game to end.
The next four players did not have anything special about the competition, and the average score was around 90 points.
After all the contestants finished performing, the host announced that Lu Xianger won the gold medal of the 57th Paganini International Violin Competition with the highest score in this competition.
Backstage at the Grand Theatre.
After Lu Xianger heard the organizer's announcement of the results, she jumped up excitedly, hugged Fang Xing's neck, yelled, and jumped:
"We won, did we really win?"
Fang Xing was relatively calm, and replied: "Yes, I won, Gold Award." ”
The teachers and classmates of the Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra gathered around to congratulate: "Congratulations to the senior sister for winning the gold medal." ”
Lu Xiang'er found that everyone was around, her ears were red, and she quickly woke up from the release side, hid her hands behind her, and said timidly: "Thank you, I wouldn't have been able to get this result without everyone's accompaniment, thank you for ......"
After waiting backstage for half an hour, the organizers began to arrange the awards.
The host invited the three contestants with the highest scores to return to the stage.
The three players are Lu Xiang'er, Patrick Pate, and Chen Wenhan.
The host invited Lu Xiang'er to stand in the middle, and then the other two stood on both sides.
The hostess took the stage with a crystal trophy in the shape of a violin, and the first prize trophy was beautifully trimmed with gold.
The person in charge of the organizer of the Paganini International Violin Competition came to the stage and presented the gold trophy to Lu Xianger.
Subsequently, Patrick Pate won the second prize and Chen Wenhan won the third prize.
In addition to trophies, there are also bonuses.
The first prize is 25,000 euros, the second prize is 10,000 euros, and the third prize is 5,000 euros.
After the competition, the organizer arranged for the winning contestants to go to the living room of the Grand Theater to be interviewed by the media.
When interviewed by the media, Lu Xianger's answer was a little confused throughout the whole process.
I wasn't ready to win the championship at the beginning, so I didn't have time to think about how to deal with media interviews.
Coupled with a slight language barrier, although Lu Xianger could understand most of the questions, she still stumbled when answering.
A British reporter asked: "Miss Lu Xiang'er, the violin piece you used in this competition is called "Skylark", and the information found on the World Music Copyright website shows that this violin piece was registered only a month ago.
"The author of this violin piece is signed 'Zhuang Zhou', who is this composer? What is the relationship with you? Was he on the scene? ”
Lu Xianger didn't read the registration information about "Skylark" on the website before, but when she heard the reporter's question, she learned that the registration information of "Skylark" was signed "Zhuang Zhou".
She was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily turned her head to look in the direction of the backstage.
Fang Xing stood at the entrance of the backstage, smiling and giving her a thumbs up.
Lu Xianger finished answering the media interview in a daze, and her mind was not on the interview at all.
After the media interview.
The results of the Paganini International Violin Competition began to be published in the major media outlets.
Headlines on the front page, headlines in large print:
[Chinese violinist, won the Paganini Gold Medal with a song "Skylark". 】
[Violin piece "Skylark", with its unique sound, conquered the Paganini judges. 】
[A violin piece that came out of nowhere, who is the composer "Zhuang Zhou"? 】
With the end of the Paganini International Violin Competition, the organizers released a video of the competition.
"Skylark" suddenly caused an uproar in the violin world.
Countless listeners came to listen to the "chirp" of the "lark", and they were attracted by the peculiar sound of this piece.
Of course, due to the limitations of the violin music itself, the dissemination will not reach the general public.
In any case, violin music is actually a relatively high-level music, and the general public rarely listens to this kind of pure music.
However, Skylark made a name for itself in the violin world, and even other instruments began to try to play the piece.
However, the violin has a unique range and timbre, and other instruments cannot play the "lark" chirp even if they are played according to the score.
Therefore, even if this piece is changed to the score of other instruments, it will not express the real "lark".
……
After the media interview, Lu Xianger returned to the backstage, saw her mother coming up, her eyes flashed with tears, she opened her arms to hug her mother, and said like a child: "Mom, I won the gold award." ”
"Good boy, awesome!" Lu's mother praised her daughter vigorously.
The other side.
Chen's mother also came to pick up her son Chen Wenhan.
However, the expressions of the mother and son are more subtle.
Chen Wenhan's face was cloudy, and he swept Lu Xiang'er's mother and daughter who were hugging each other on the other side, and his heart was very complicated.
Chen's mother praised: "It's great to win the award." ”
In fact.
Winning the third prize at the Paganini International Violin Competition already shows that the violin level is very high.
Chen Wenhan's mood now is very complicated.
If it was Patrick Pate who won the gold award, Chen Wenhan would not be so uncomfortable.
It was Lu Xianger who won the gold medal, and in his eyes, this was not as good as his undergraduate.
In his cognition, he is now defeated by a weak scumbag, and this weak scumbag took the "Skylark" he wanted and won Paganini's gold award.
If the family could help him buy "Skylark", the result would definitely not be the way it is now.
Therefore, Chen Wenhan was very unwilling in his heart, and at the same time he was also very envious, envious that Lu Xianger could get a masterpiece like "Skylark".
……
After "Skylark" became popular from abroad, it was transmitted back to China.
Domestic media reports have used even more exaggerated language.
[20-year-old female violinist, winning glory for the country, a song "Skylark", won the highest glory of violin. 】
[Donghai Conservatory of Music has produced outstanding students again, and won the gold medal of the Paganini International Violin Competition during the school. 】
Among the many news headlines, occasionally one or two headlines, Chen Wenhan was also included.
[Donghai Conservatory of Music Double Yolk Egg, two students, won the first and third prizes of Paganini. 】
In addition, there is also news focused on the violin piece "Skylark".
[Who wrote "The Skylark"? Could it be that the flowers bloom inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall? 】
[The author of "Skylark" "Zhuang Zhou", who is it? ] 】
Although some media are collecting information about the author of "Skylark", there is no discussion of the name "Zhuang Zhou" in China.
Because domestic netizens knew that it was a pen name at a glance, and the name came from Zhuang Zhou Mengdie.
Even foreign media will think that this is the name of a certain composer.
……
After returning to the East China Sea, Lu Xianger used the 25,000 euro bonus he received to pay for the performance of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.
Although Fang Xing promised to sponsor this trip to Genoa at the beginning, since he had already won the first prize, Lu Xianger naturally gave priority to using this prize money to pay for the symphony orchestra's performance.
Thanks to the Dongyin No. 1 Symphony Orchestra this time, more than 100 people went to Genoa.
The round-trip air ticket alone is more than 100,000 yuan, so this bonus is just enough for the performance funds, and after paying the funds, there will be nothing left.
Lu Xianger was not disappointed because the bonus was spent, but was even happier.
There is nothing wrong with having his own prize money, filled with the funds of the orchestra, and being self-sufficient.
That same evening.
Lu's mother arranged a table of dishes at home and invited relatives and friends to celebrate her daughter's victory in the Paganini Gold Award.
She held her daughter's trophy and displayed it in front of her relatives and friends, not to mention how happy she was.
When eating.
Lu's mother asked her daughter: "Xiaoxiang, what about your composer friend?" Why don't you come over and celebrate? Without his song "Skylark", it would be difficult for you to win the championship.
"Is his name really 'Zhuang Zhou'? This isn't your real name, is it? Is it inconvenient for you to come over? Mom wants to thank him in person and give him a big red envelope. ”
Lu Xiang'er asked timidly, "Now?" ”
"Yes, if he had time, he could come over now. While everyone is around, how nice it is to celebrate together. Lu Mu urged.
Good-looking romance
"Isn't that too abrupt? Not quite right? Lu Xiang'er felt that it was inappropriate to see her parents now.
Generally speaking, formal banquets require advance notice, at least three to five days in advance.
Old friends form a bureau, and they will call temporarily.
Now if you want to feast the composer of "The Skylark", of course, it is better to be more formal.
Lu Mu nodded and said, "That's right, then next time I have a chance, I will officially invite others." When you are free, ask people when they are free. ”
"Uh......" Lu Xiang'er agreed with a strange expression.
