The Huachao Cup International Piano Competition is held every two years, also known as the Huachao Cup Youth International Piano Competition.

The competition is open to young people between the ages of 12 and 18 and aims to discover the potential of new stars in the music industry, and in fact, it is also a qualifier for the Huaguo Qingzhou Division of the Chopin International Piano Competition, one of the four major international piano competitions.

The Chopin International Piano Competition, the world's most prestigious piano competition, is not one of them.

Countless musicians and pianists around the world dream of standing on the highest temple.

The Huachao Cup Qingzhou Division, the winners will be selected to compete in the Huaguo Division in March next year, and only those who win the first place in the Huaguo Division will be eligible to chase the highest honor on the world stage.

Qin Xiange looked in the mirror, today she was wearing a Western-style court dress, her skirt was gorgeous and complicated, her wavy curls showed a bit of maturity, and the girl's heavy makeup was gorgeous, and she was wearing a luxurious and gorgeous princess style.

She smiled with satisfaction.

Mrs. Qin urged at the door, and Qin Xiange packed his backpack and went out.

"I've inquired, there are three judges for this competition, you should be familiar with these two, but this one ......."

Mrs. Qin scratched the photo on the tablet, and soon a young foreign face appeared.

Qin Xiange's eyes instantly became frenzied: "Pearl......."

This handsome young man was a talented pianist discovered by Ferner, and it is said that at the age of five he was able to smoothly play Liszt's most difficult supertechnical etudes, shocking the music world.

Since then, he has won many international awards, and at such a young age that he has become famous all over the world, it has become commonplace to give concerts at the Viana Concert Hall, which is the dream of all musicians.

It is said that he loves Chinese culture, but Qin Xiange has never seen him in person, so he didn't expect him to become a judge of this competition.

For a while, Qin Xiange became a little nervous, she was a little annoyed that she fell asleep without practicing a few more times last night, and quickly took out the powder from her bag and threw it on her face.

I'm impetuous, and I'm not satisfied with today's makeup.

"Mom, why did you just tell me now, let me be a little prepared."

Qin Xiange complained in a complaining tone.

Mrs. Qin said helplessly: "I only got the list of judges last night, I want to tell you, thinking that you have already slept, and it is not too late to talk about it this morning."

"Pearl, this is Pearl, you know? He is not only a proud disciple of Master Ferner, he is also the son of the prince, and he will be the lord in the future."

Mrs. Qin gasped, "Really?"

Qin Xiange nodded, "There are very few people who know, don't just say it outside."

In fact, she only found out about it when she saw the fan's popular science in a piano forum on the Internet, and many people didn't believe it, and the fanatical fan swore that he was true, and he also posted a few precious photos to prove it, but it didn't take long for the post to be deleted.

Maybe Qin Xiange won't be able to see this post after a while.

A series of abnormalities made Qin Xiange have to believe it.

When she came to the venue of the competition, after Qin Xiange verified her identity, the staff sent a number plate to her, Qin Xiange pinned the number plate to her chest, and then followed the staff to the waiting area.

Qin Xiange glanced at it and saw several familiar faces, after all, the piano circle in Qingzhou is so small, and he has not looked up and looked down in piano competitions since he was a child.

Among them, there is also a familiar face, which is Xing Ye from Class B.

Xing Ye glanced at her, and then lowered his head indifferently.

A young girl in a white dress with long hair and a shawl greeted her with a smile: "String Song."

Qin Xiange smiled and nodded, "Lu Nan."

Lu Nan patted the vacant seat beside him, Qin Xiange hesitated for a moment and walked over.

Lu Nan helped her pull the gorgeous skirt and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful today, as soon as you appear, it is enough to amaze the audience."

Who doesn't like to listen to good and obedient words, Qin Xiange raised the corners of his mouth: "You are also beautiful."

At this time, a large electronic screen in front of him appeared on the picture of the game scene, and the players in the waiting area

Subconsciously nervous, no one spoke, and his eyes were glued to the large TV screen above his head.

The scale of this competition is not small in Qingzhou, the local TV station sent a reporter to report, and the host on the stage is also the master of Qingzhou TV, a beautiful woman with an atmosphere and intelligence.

When the camera was broadcast to the judges' bench, a young and handsome western face caused the audience to exclaim.

Lu Nan suddenly grabbed Qin Xiange's arm, incredulous; "Pearl? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Because Qin Xiange knew in advance, she was the calmest, she frowned, and quietly brushed Lu Nan's hand away.

Lu Nan said incoherently excitedly: "Xian Ge, look at my makeup, is it going to be spent?"

Qin Xiange smiled, "It's beautiful."

Lu Nan hurriedly took out the powder from his bag and looked at it in the mirror.

Suddenly, Lu Nan's hand stiffened, "Oops, the track I chose is Pearl's famous song......."

Qin Xiange raised her eyebrows and comforted her, "Don't think so much, play hard."

I am very glad in my heart, fortunately she chose the song conservatively.

As the host spoke, the game officially began, and the contestants who called the number stepped onto the stage from the entrance of the passage under the guidance of the staff.

The No. 1 player Xu was a little nervous, and even played a few wrong notes in the overture part, at this time, if he calmed down, there was still a chance, but it was obvious that the player's psychological quality was not in place, so he collapsed, the rhythm was a mess, and finally he ran off the stage crying.

The waiting area was silent, and no one laughed.

In the footage of the camera, the handsome young judge shook his head and marked the score card in his hand.

Qin Xiange couldn't help but clench his palms and went through the song in his heart.

At this time, the staff called Xing Ye's name, Xing Ye got up and followed the staff out.

Qin Xiange and Xing Ye have participated in many competitions together, but Xing Ye is obviously the kind of person who is not talented, this time his performance was decent, and he came back with a straight face not long after.

Immediately after that, several more players took the stage, and there was no shortage of good performances, but an increasingly tense atmosphere hung over the sky.

Qin Xiange unscrewed the lid of the cup, and when he wanted to drink water, he held back again.

She put the glass down and wanted to get up and take a few steps.

At this time, the staff shouted: "No. 15 player Qin Xiange, please get ready, where is the No. 15 player?"

Qin Xiange immediately raised his hand: "I."

"Come with me."

Qin Xiange took a deep breath, and Lu Nan cheered her on the side: "Come on."

Before Qin Xiange left, his eyes swept over the entire waiting area, and a person in the corner was sleeping with a scarf on his head and a down jacket on his body.

This person has been sleeping since she came in, and she can sleep in this environment, has she forgotten what she is here for?

Qin Xiange sneered and turned to leave.

No one noticed that the slender finger in the corner that landed on the knee was like a dexterous butterfly, fluttering lightly with the rhythm.

At the time of the song, the staff walked in again: "Ann, number 16, please get ready."

In the corner, the red scarf was taken away by a white jade hand, like the moonlight breaking through the dark clouds, and in an instant, the cold moon dissolved, the bright and clear light, and spread over the world.

The staff was stunned, the girl had already walked towards her, and suddenly, if the moon shadow moved, there was a breeze blowing on the face, and for a while people forgot what day and night.

"Aren't you leaving?" The girl smiled.

The staff reacted with a flushed cheek and immediately turned around to lead the way, with their little hands constantly patting their chests.

Mom, did she just see the fairy? How can there be such a beautiful girl in the world.

She secretly looked sideways and saw a section of the girl's skirt, and with the pace of walking, the silver dark lines on the skirt rippled, swaying, and couldn't help but make people feel fascinated.

What are those female stars in the entertainment industry who blow their faces all day long, this face

, this temperament is an impeccable masterpiece of Nuwa.

Ann, she secretly remembered this name in her heart, she would definitely not be unknown.

Lu Nan looked up inadvertently, only to see a slender back, slightly curly chestnut long hair up to the waist, between the steps, the ends of the hair swayed gently, more and more outlining the slender waist, the graceful back, at a glance is enough to make people tempting.

When Lu Nan looked again, the door had been closed, blocking the figure.

Lu Nan's heart suddenly felt a little empty.

Xing Ye in the corner retracted his gaze thoughtfully.

Qin Xiange thought that he had played well, and stood up to make an elegant curtain call.

When she looked up, she looked at the judges' bench with burning eyes.

The other two judges nodded in satisfaction and wrote down their scores on the scorecard.

Qin Xiange's heart steadied, and then he looked at Pearl with expectant eyes.

The man had a bewildering face, and his mere glance was enough to dazzle him.

"The A section and D minor are not well controlled, the upper octave is weakly played, the F major is shifted, and the variations cannot be highlighted, and the third double leaning note in the B section is dragging and dragging and cannot form a coherence with the main note, and the rhythm of the entire B section is ruined."

The man spoke Chinese with a slight accent, but it did not affect the comprehension of people.

With a cold, ruthless voice, he brought a heavy blow to Qin Xiange.

Qin Xiange's face turned pale inch by inch, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.

"A soft and delicate serenade, but you popped out the impatience of rushing to go on a date, this contestant, I can't believe that you have level 10 strength."

It can be described as a merciless harsh criticism.

Qin Xian Gebei bit his lower lip tightly, and the water splashed in his eyes.

The female judge next to her couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "Teacher Pearl, this Qin player has already obtained the grade 10 certificate at a young age, the purpose of our competition is to tap their potential and give them a platform to show themselves freely, so harsh, but it goes against the original intention of the competition, we should focus on encouragement, don't hit the self-confidence of the contestants."

The corners of the man's lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were cold and disdainful: "So this is the good student you taught, I can't even talk about a simple serenade, I don't think there is any need to hold this competition, just a tool for playing the piano that can only memorize music scores."

"You're ......." The female judge's face was full of anger, and she was quickly stopped by another male judge, and she played a round out loud.

Pearl wrote the score on the scorecard and said, "Next."

Qin Xiange almost ran off the stage.

She didn't expect that the piano she was so proud of would one day be criticized by her idol for being useless.

It was just too much of a blow to her.

What she didn't know was that for a top pianist of the romantic genre like Pearl, playing the wrong note was nothing, the most important thing was the musical style and personal charm, unfortunately, Pearl didn't see these two points in Qin Xiange, so her mistake that she thought was not a mistake became very glaring.

Qin Xiange, just like an individual who works hard under the examination-oriented education, has no talent and aura, and only relies on rote memorization and resources, the tenth-level certificate will come to an end, and he will never be able to go further.

Of course, for the two locally-grown judges, they like students like Qin Xiange very much, because they are the same kind of people.

It's a pity that the arrogant and sensual Pearl can't look down on it at all.

With tears in her eyes, the staff led a young girl to meet her.

By the time she wiped away her tears, the girl had already passed her, and only a faint fragrance floated on the tip of her nose.

Qin Xiange subconsciously turned his head, only to see the girl's graceful back gradually drifting away.

The maroon curls shook and shook like a wonderful dream.

When the host broadcast the repertoire of the No. 16 contestant, Qin Xiange was stunned and quickly hooked his lips sarcastically.

To Alice, an entry-level piano piece that couldn't be simpler.

What does she take this contest for? I actually picked such a simple track.

Although ornamental enough, but than that

However, the professionalism of the competition is much weaker and uncompetitive.

Because this song is so familiar, so familiar that you can play it even with your backhand.

The fastidious and demanding Pearl judge will only scoff even more.

Qin Xiange didn't rush back to the lounge, but stood behind the curtain on the side of the stage, waiting to see what Pearl could scold the No. 16 contestant.

There is a white grand piano on the stage, and the elegant piano is like a lonely knight waiting for the princess to control it.

The girl in the dress slowly stepped onto the stage, and the moment she stepped on the stage, a beam of chasing light fell on her body, and the fragrance lit up in an instant.

That's the color of moonshine.

There was a deep amazement in the eyes of the two judges.

The girl on the 15th just now was very beautiful, but compared to this girl, she was like a little starlight next to the moon, small and dim.

How can Starlight compete with the moonlight?

Pearl, who was sitting casually, raised his eyes inadvertently, and was suddenly stunned at this look.

No one can fail to be impressed.

The girl bent down in the direction of the judges, then walked to the piano and sat down calmly.

The chasing light fell on the girl, she leaned sideways, and the judges could clearly see her slender silhouette, as well as a pair of slender jade hands that fell on the keys.

The girl looked down at the keys, but did not start playing, her eyes were far away, as if she was recalling something.

Fingertips brushing the keys, like caressing someone in a memory.

From his point of view, Pearl could clearly see the soft and soft smile on the corner of the girl's lips.

Like a pure lotus blooming in the depths of time, it is pure and elegant, charming but not vulgar, soft and moving.

When the two judges next to him began to gradually become impatient, Pearl's eyes suddenly became darker, and his fingers tapped on the table, waiting patiently.

A good performer doesn't have those bells and whistles, just needs to tell a good story.

The girl under the spotlight was born for the stage, her body is full of mysterious stories, and he can't wait for her to tell.

When he realized this, the man curled the corners of his lips and smiled slowly.

"Knock" a jumbled tone sounded, like a cold tune popping out of your hand.

Qin Xiange sneered and shook his head, the organizer is really speechless, doesn't he even screen the contestants? I'm afraid that this kind of amateur player who can't even distinguish the high and low parts of the keys is put in to insult people?

She couldn't wait to look in Pearl's direction, would he just drive people down?
