Huaguo Internet is still quarreling, but it's normal, if everything is all a voice, everyone lives in harmony and no one quarrels, then it's a particularly strange thing.

However, none of this had anything to do with all the players in Warsaw, Poland, who had already begun to cut off their ties to the outside world and put their full attention on the music and wait for the start of the race.

In addition to everyone's piano experiments, the Chopin International Piano Competition also organized a party for all the contestants on the eve of the competition, that is, on the evening of October 2, and let several top pianists as judges come to the scene to play some works for everyone.

The concert was not serious, everyone was very relaxed and happy.

After all, everyone knows that this is the last relaxation before the competition, and when this concert is over, then it will enter the final tense state until the end of the competition.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally came to October 3rd, the first day of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The morning in Warsaw is still so dark that there is hardly any sunlight to be seen, which makes people disgusted to look at.

As Brodz said, if the Greens come to power to make Warsaw's weather more comfortable, he will definitely vote for the Greens.

Pity...... The status of the Greens in Warsaw is not high, even if it is only a position in the town hall, they are not completely sure that they can get it, so they can only wait for the big party above to leave them a little bit of residue, and then rest assured that they will have a vegetarian meal.

After all, they don't have power, and it's understandable that they can't get things done.

Fu Tiao stood in front of the window, holding a cup of capsule coffee brewed by the capsule machine that came with the house, and drank it all.

The taste of the coffee was not mellow, but with a touch of bitterness, which lingered on the tip of Fu Tuo's tongue, making his spirit more concentrated.

Knock Knock......

There was a knock on the door, Fu Tiao put the cup with the coffee foam on the small table next to the bed, stepped over the piano bench to open the door, and Yu Tianyou's figure appeared behind the door.

This time his clothes were not as debauched as before, perhaps because he had been reprimanded by the staff in the concert hall, and he was dressed very seriously.

"Let's go, it's almost time, and the game will start in another hour."

"Okay, let's go."

Fu Tiao nodded, turned back to the piano, put away the sheet music on the piano, and then returned to the door to pick up the hanger next to his simple suit and draped it on his body.

"Let's see how the players played in the first half, and see ...... Today's judges. ”

"Hmm."

Fu Tiao closed the door and followed Yu Tianyou and the two towards the direction of the concert hall.

Today, Warsaw is still extremely cold, but the crowds around the concert hall are much more crowded than before.

Today is the first day of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and all previous activities are not open to the public, whether it is the announcement of the list or the preparation for practice, it will not be open to external spectators.

But now that the competition has officially begun, anyone can buy the Chopin International Piano Competition at the door and enter the Chopin Concert Hall in Warsaw to watch the competition.

Even if you don't watch the game, it's good to stand at the door of the concert hall and watch the players who are ready to enter the game.

After all, apart from the Chopin International Piano Competition, what other international type of competition would be so open, without any security work for all the contestants before the competition starts? You can watch the players enter the concert hall at the door?

However, it was clear that the vast majority of the players were mixed in the crowd, and the ordinary citizens of Warsaw were so blind to other countries that it was impossible to recognize all the players.

Apart from...... Polish players.

Before Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou walked near the concert hall, there was a burst of cheers around.

"Death! Victory! Mortal! Victory! Mortal! Victory! ”

"Oooo Mortal! ”

“……”

Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou couldn't help but pause in their footsteps, looking at the group of people who shouted "must die", and didn't figure out why these people shouted "death" for a while.

However, when they looked at Bies in the distance, dressed in a casual suit, waving and smiling in the direction of the concert hall, they knew what these people were shouting.

Bies, the first player to be officially selected when the first round of players was announced.

Not only the first place today, but also the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

There was no fear of being the first to play on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of anticipation.

It's obviously a very disadvantaged position, but it doesn't seem to care at all.

"It turned out that this was mortal, and I thought we were cursing the people of our other countries that we were going to die in this game."

Yu Tianyou touched his chest, looked at the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief, and then shrugged helplessly.

"But we are also competitors in the Chopin International Piano Competition, why is he so popular, and none of us pay attention to us? Obviously we're also players? ”

"Who knows."

Fu Tiao stood in the distance and watched the group of melon-eating people hug Bies into the concert hall, looking at their excited appearance, he also sighed lightly.

If it weren't for the Poles, if it weren't for the favorites of the competition, then there would definitely not be many players in them who would be noticed by ordinary people.

Even this Bies, which is not very strong and famous, and has never heard of it before the competition, can be liked by so many people, but they are just standing on the periphery of the concert hall, and no one cares.

Yu Tianyou looked at Fu Diao, took a deep breath, and spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, no matter what, let's go in first, I can't see that others are so popular, and I will directly admit defeat and surrender."

"Well, let's go."

Fu Tiao nodded, and the two of them continued to walk in the direction of the concert hall.

But before he reached the door, a tentative cry came out of his ears.

"Fu Tune? Yu Tianyou? Huh? Are you Fu and Yu Tianyou? Huaguo's Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou? ”

A Chinese girl who was dressed very German, that is, she was basically pure black or brown all over her body, and she couldn't see any fashion atmosphere standing in the crowd, looking at Fu Diao and the two couldn't help but be a little curious, and when she saw the two turn their heads, her eyes instantly lit up, and she immediately waved her hands and shouted.

"Wow! It's Fu tune! Fu tune! Come on! You can definitely do it! You're sure to make it to the second round! Come on! ”

The two couldn't help but stop when they heard this voice, Yu Tianyou immediately poked Fu Tuo with his elbow and teased: "Look, your fans, come to cheer you on today, you're still a girl, aren't you happy?" ”

With that, he waved at the girl.

"Hey! Hey!! Look at this! After seeing the man's gaze, he immediately joked and said, "No! I said, you just cheer for Fu Tiao, obviously I am also a contestant in the Chopin International Piano Competition, why don't you cheer me on? ”

"Huh?" The girl was stunned and hesitated, "But...... You're not in today's game, are you? Why should I cheer you on if you're not in today's game, shouldn't I wait until you're in the game to cheer you on?"

"That's right, I'm not the ...... of today's game" Yu Tianyou's body suddenly froze, and he reached out and pinched his eyebrows in embarrassment: "Okay, that's okay, I'm waiting for your cheers." ”

"Uh-huh! I'll cheer you on when you're ready! ”

Fu Tiao looked at the two of them, couldn't help laughing, looked at the girl she didn't know, probably came from Germany to cheer for the two of them, nodded slightly, and said very seriously.

"Okay, I got it, I'll do my best."

With that, he turned around and continued to walk towards the concert hall, and Yu Tianyou also followed him into the concert hall.

Yu Tianyou looked back at the girl behind him step by step, and couldn't help but smile.

"That girl should have come from a conservatory in Germany, is this considered a blitzkrieg in Poland?"

Fu Tiao did not look back: "Why Germany?" ”

"Because the people from Germany are very obvious, either solid colors, or wearing a jacket, without any design, just like the old people in the countryside, they are very easy to distinguish in the European crowd, you see who is the worst, ugliest and most boring in that group of people, then he is most likely from Germany, even if he is not from Germany, he has lived in Germany."

"That's right...... Looking back, I kind of want to see the players from Germany. ”

"It's a pity that I don't know if it's because of the feud, but not a single German player has been able to enter the first round this year."

Yu Tianyou followed Fu Diao and the two chatted casually, and walked into the concert hall, a group of people without tickets were blocked outside, and the two of them took out their participation cards to enter.

The concert hall was much more empty than the outside, but there were still a lot of people.

The crowd here are already ticketed spectators, who take off their clothes to the service desk in the lobby, wear a simple jacket or shirt, and talk casually with some drinks.

They looked at the players who were entering and smiled and nodded, not as crazy as the people outside.

Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou looked around, and without hesitating for too long, they also put their coats at the service desk, took a voucher, and walked into the concert hall.

They are player tickets, and although they are passes, they have no place.

Only those who have bought today's tickets, but don't have time to come because of something, and the seats they vacate, they can sit down.

So the two went directly to the second floor, found a very remote corner, and looked at the stage and this concert hall.

The concert hall is square, divided into two floors.

The lower level is the main audience area, while the upper level is the specific audience area.

The judges are located at the front of the specific audience area on the upper floor, that is, the guardrail directly facing the stage, and are divided into two groups.

It was evident that the place was completely different from the rest, with a red carpet on the ground and even a fence behind it that served as a barrier to keep no one else inside.

Some of the judges were already sitting on the judges' bench, holding a notebook in their hands and covering their mouths with the other judges and whispering.

Many of them are acquaintances or even friends, but they don't meet often.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is not only an opportunity for the contestants to step up to the top, but also an opportunity for the judges on the stage to meet each other and chat and discuss.

After all, everyone is busy, and Argerich, whom Fu Tiao met before, told Fu Tiao that she has dozens of concerts to attend this year, and every day she is either on the way to the concert or on the way to practice, and she has no time to chat with friends for entertainment.

Oh no, she still has time to entertain.

After all, her favorite thing to do is to tease her daughter, take her daughter on a train tour throughout Europe, and then pick up a cigarette case and go down to smoke two when the train stops.

When the train was moving, she deliberately did not show up, so that her daughter thought that she was addicted to smoking and fell under the car and was about to cry in a hurry, so she came out of the outside, laughed and teased her daughter, and told her that her mother did not run.

As for whether this incident will make her daughter accustomed to it, thinking that it is absolutely impossible for her to catch the car......

It can only be said that she smoked and drank outside the train and couldn't catch the train, leaving her daughter alone on the train, and it was common for her to wander around and find a place to transfer.

And not when her daughter was older, but when her daughter was five or six years old.

Fu Diao followed Yu Tianyou and looked at the judges' bench boredly, waiting for the start of the competition.

The first race at ten o'clock in the morning, it was only one o'clock after eight o'clock, and Bies had just arrived at the concert hall at eight o'clock, and now he was supposed to practice in the piano room.

There were only two or three judges on the judges' bench, and there were no highlights at all, they were all very old faces.

Just as Fu Tiao looked at the judges' seats in a daze, wondering whether to apply for two hours of practice now and use up today's practice time, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the concert hall.

The sound of countless cameras taking pictures sounded, and a very young man with shiny hair combed and shiny like a star walked in through the doorway.

A white suit stood out among the countless black clothes around him.

Yu Tianyou's eyes couldn't help but look there, and then he shouted in surprise.

"? Li Diyun? How did he come so early? ”

"Li Diyun?"

Fu Tiao also looked at the young man, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Li Diyun is extremely young, because of good maintenance, plus he is an Asian face, he is not particularly old age from those players who are about to compete.

You could even say that those players who participated in the competition, especially some European players, are the older ones, and if you put the two of them together, you will think that Li Diyun is younger than those players.

But this is also normal, after all, Li Diyun can be regarded as the youngest judge in the history of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and no other judge can get the qualification of a judge of the Chopin International Piano Competition at his age.

He has broken history.

At the Chopin International Piano Competition, Li Diyun did not have the limelight of a star in China, and he did not do stupid things such as pointing fingers at other judges after he came.

He was very honest and refused all the media photos first, and then stood in front of all the judges who had arrived, bowed slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello.

All the judges present, although they may not sell as well as Li Diyun, and they are not as good as him in marketization, but almost every one of them in music surpasses him.

In particular, Li Diyun is still a form player.

In the case of Li Diyun's strong explosion in a good state, they are not inferior to Li Diyun.

No matter how you think about it, Li Diyun will not look down on those judges just because of his high degree of marketization.

And those judges didn't have a particularly big opinion on Li Diyun, and when they saw Li Diyun stretching out his hand and bowing, they also got up and shook hands with him.

There were even some people who smiled and chatted with Li Diyun for a few words.

Yu Tianyou took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and then at Li Diyun, who had just sat down and was sitting in the corner, he couldn't help but feel a little interesting, and pointed at Li Diyun and said to Fu.

Sure enough, Li Diyun came earlier than most of the judges, after all, he was the youngest, but he was ...... He didn't seem to expect that there would be judges who came earlier than him, right? When I saw him come in and see the judges who had already arrived, I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't seem to react at all. ”

"Indeed......" Fu Tiao nodded lightly, and his gaze continued to focus on Li Diyun and the other judges around him.

Although those judges don't have any opinions about Li Diyun, they have even been encouraging Li Diyun.

But from Fu Tiao's point of view, no matter how much they encouraged Li Diyun, their attitude towards Li Diyun was still relatively isolated.

Occasionally, he would smile and bring Li Diyun two sentences, but there was no way to let him fit in.

Actually, this is also very normal, you think, everyone is an old man in his sixties and seventies, and suddenly a young man in his thirties comes.

Everyone is chatting about their grandchildren or about their recent retirement.

No matter how experienced your young man in his thirties is, he will not be able to pick up these topics.

What's more, Li Diyun didn't even look for a partner, he has always maintained a single personality, and he doesn't even have a son or daughter, let alone grandchildren.

This is why when the group of people were chatting, Li Diyun could only laugh awkwardly and couldn't interject.

Time passed minute by minute, one after another judges walked in from the door, Li Diyun still came in, and all of them greeted them, extremely well-behaved.

And in the last few minutes, Argerich's arrival, the peak of this moment.

Everyone looked at Argerich and the others with a variety of emotions in their eyes.

Excitement, excitement, adoration, respect......

Argerich smiled and waved at everyone, and sat in his place under the gaze of everyone, his expression indifferent.

None of the others who came back had Argerich's current position.

Soon after Argerich came, He Shen followed the team of the beautiful country into the second floor, and he quickly noticed Fu Tuo sitting in the corner, and immediately raised his hand to say hello.

And Fu Tuo also waved.

While!

When the time came to 9:30, the concert hall was already full, and the position of Fu Diao and Yu Tianyou was also taken by the person who bought the ticket, and the two stood on the steps in the corner, waiting for the start of the game.

Day 1, 1st Session, 1st Place.

All this symbolizes the official start of the competition.

As a result, there were no vacant seats in the concert hall for them, and they could only stand in the corner and watch the game.

Click......

The door to the stage opened, and the concert hall, which had been slightly noisy, fell silent.

Incomparably elegant, the host in a European-style classical dress walked in front of everyone, looked at the people under the stage with a smile, and waited for the sound in the concert hall to disappear completely, then picked up the microphone and spoke to everyone.

"The 17th Chopin International Piano Competition...... Now it's officially begins! ”
