The International Piano Competition is held every three years.

In this third competition, both of them were over 12 years old and could only compete in the junior group.

There were contestants in the group who were older than the two of them and had been practicing the piano for longer than them.

So it's not easy to get a place.

And the reason why the two continue to compete is because they both know that only by constantly competing with excellent people can they see the gap between themselves and others, so that they can catch up-

Originally, Junjun didn't understand this, but because he had been close to Qingning's cousin over the years, he was gradually influenced by Gu Qingning and became very self-motivated.

…

The time for the game starts tomorrow morning.

The plane landed at the Seine City Airport, and after receiving the participants and their families, the person in charge of the race took them to the hotel arranged by the organizer to rest.

When they came the first two times, Lan Shu and Xiaobai's friend Mark abroad came to receive them, as much as the landlord wanted.

This time, Mark went on a business trip to other countries because of temporary matters, and he couldn't come back for the time being.

So Mark spoke to Lan Shu on the phone in advance to express his apologies.

In this regard, Lan Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with Mark not coming to pick them up.

She asked Mark to work with peace of mind, and if he had time in the future, he could visit their country, and when the time came, she and Xiaobai personally took Mark to taste the food all over the world!

Lan Shu still remembers that Mark is more interested in the food of their country than in playing~!

At noon, although there was no banquet from Mark, Lan Shu and Xiaobai still took their children out to eat at a local specialty restaurant.

Before the family of four set off, Lan Shu called Tang Chu and Junjun together.

When I went abroad the first two times, because Mark invited guests to dinner, Tang Chu and the other party were not familiar with each other, so they didn't go together.

This time is different.

Let's not say that she is Lan Shu's sister-in-law in terms of identity, as far as the relationship between her and Lan Shu is concerned, Tang Chu doesn't have to be embarrassed.

So Tang Chu took Junjun with him, and everyone had lunch together in the restaurant outside.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng needed to rest well and recuperate.

So the two families didn't go out in the hotel.

Five-year-old Gu Zerui is active and active, but when Rarity hears that her sister is going to compete tomorrow and must have a good rest today, Rarity rarely doesn't make any noise about going out to play.

Instead, he stayed in the hotel, accompanied by his parents and told him stories.

…

On the morning of the second day, in the famous concert hall of the Seine, as in the previous two piano competitions, the contestants of the children's category performed on stage.

By the time the junior group started the competition, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

This time, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng were young because they were young, so the order of the two on stage was ranked first.

The tournament team never imagined that they would be able to compete with the junior competitors who were older than them at their age.

So to be put in front, that is, to show the performance, to be cannon fodder.

Even if they won the gold and silver medals in the children's group in the last piano competition, there is still a big gap between the level of the children's group and the youth group.

Lan Juncheng's order on stage this time is still in front of his cousin Gu Qingning.

The fourteen-year-old Junjun inherited Lan Dazhuang's physique, with a height of more than 1.7 meters, and looked even taller than many of the contestants in the junior group.

Only by looking closely can we see from his slightly green face that he is indeed younger.

Junjun started learning piano at the age of six and has been learning for more than seven years.

In the words of the piano teacher, he has talent in his own right, and with his long-term insistence on practice, Lan Juncheng's level of playing the piano is not much worse than that of the teacher.

Three years ago, he won the silver medal in the children's group of the International Piano Competition, and he had been learning piano for more than four years.

Now that there are three more years of time to study and practice, Lan Juncheng's performance level is many times stronger than before!

So when he stood on the stage, sat down in front of the piano, and started his playing.

Just a blink of an eye, the jumping notes turned into a moving piano song, which surprised the judges in the audience first, and then amazed!

No one would have thought that a fourteen-year-old and a half-old boy would have such a level of performance.

This can be compared with the outstanding contestants in the junior category!

When Lan Juncheng's performance is over, Gu Qingning's performance will follow.

Gu Qingning's piano learning time is three years longer than her cousin Lan Juncheng.

Even though Gu Qingning has never slacked off in playing the piano, most of the time talent determines how far a person can go.

Her playing level is not bad, but she doesn't have the natural agility of Lan Juncheng, and it's not so amazing to listen to!

But in terms of her mellow playing skills, she can also compete with other contestants in the junior group!

At the International Piano Competition, the participants of the junior group played and performed one by one, and there was a competition in the youth group to be held.

But before that, the judges already have a rough idea of who will be able to get the top three in the first two groups.

In the audience, Lan Shu, Xiaobai, and Tang Chu, who were sitting in the front row of Lan Shu, Xiaobai, and Tang Chu, turned his head and said with a smile on his face, "Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning's performances are very good, and there may be good news later." ”

With these words, Lan Shu smiled, and Tang Chu was also very happy.

However, before the child won the award, Lan Shu did not raise her psychological expectations.

She thinks it's good to look at it with a normal heart.

Otherwise, if you don't get the prize, you will be disappointed.

But Tang Chu felt that his son would definitely get a good ranking this time because of the words of the leading teacher!

Fortunately, Junjun competed, and when the competition of the youth group was over and the competition rankings of the first two groups were announced, among the top three in the youth group, Lan Juncheng's name ranked first and won the gold medal in the junior group of the International Piano Competition!

Gu Qingning's ranking is third.

It took Junjun three years to surpass his cousin in piano playing.

And Gu Qingning can get third, she is already very happy.

After all, she is only fourteen years old now, and the foreign contestant who won the second place is seventeen and will soon be eighteen.

She believes that if she is given another three years, her piano performance level must be much stronger than now!

So she's still young, and the future is promising-

…

After the international piano competition ended, the next day, Lan Shu and Tang Chu took their children and started a day trip to Seine.

Xiaobai flew to the city of Seine to participate in an exchange meeting in the game development industry.

The '96 Game Development Exchange is not yet a big deal, after all, there aren't many people in this business.

And Gu Jue, who holds the research and development rights of two popular games, has become an eye-catching presence in the entire game research and development exchange meeting!
