Among all the contestants, Fu Tune should be the first to be invited, after all, many contestants already have their own music school before starting the competition, such as Zhao Chengzhen, who successfully entered the French music school and became a student of the core leader of them, and then began his Chopin International Piano Competition schedule.

Some of the players who failed to perform did not have such treatment at all, and they could only skip to graduate school to start their studies at most.

After Fu Tiao received these business cards in his pocket, he began to carefully observe all the contestants who could make it to the finals.

In fact, as many predicted before the tournament, it was very clear whether all the players would make it to the final in the third round.

In the second half, which started at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the best performers were the two players, Aljoa Jurini from Croatia, and the piano princess from Toei, Aishi Kobayashi.

Kobayashi Aishi is worthy of the title of Dongying Piano Princess, although her competition this year was not smooth, and many people originally gave high hopes that she could lead Dongying to stand up, but there are really too many players who have performed well this year.

In particular, the head-on confrontation between Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen directly made the battle of the Chopin International Piano Competition countless times more intense, and many players were taken away directly before they could react, and those players who reacted, under the encouragement of Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, directly became stronger and more difficult.

Kobayashi Aishi fought with the mentality of sprinting to the finals from the beginning, but by the third round, she didn't have much desire in her heart, and it was already good to be able to get the rankings, as for the championship? Forget it, this thing is really too hard.

And she still has a problem, her score ranking is not high, only about seven or eight, this ranking is almost stable and there is no way to get the championship, she is directly different from Fu Diao's score at that level to about 5 points, this result is not at all something that can be chased if you want to.

Even if Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin behind them did not play well, and everyone only got an average score of 18-20 points, she must also get a high score of 23-25 points before she can move her score to a similar score as Fu Diao's three people.

And what are the chances that Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin will not play well?

It's about the same as the odds of winning another bottle.

Aimi Kobayashi has almost never won a similar award, and compared to her illusory luck, she hopes that she can rely on her own strength to get her highest score.

It's just a pity......

After Kobayashi Aishi played the last note, her expression was helpless, and she barely smiled at everyone under the stage before leaving the stage.

She had done her best, but it was still too difficult to get a good ranking.

The first match ended, and the second day of the race started as scheduled.

Kate Liu and Eric Lu were successfully divided into two divisions, one was the last place in the morning half, and the other was the first place in the afternoon half, so the two no longer had any care, and they didn't need to care whether their full performance would cause trouble to their comrades, and directly played their most perfect strength.

For a while, countless viewers were a little shocked, and they were surprised that these two people were originally just players in excellent condition, but they actually reached a perfect state at the end?

It's hard to imagine that this level of music is actually expressed from the hands of these two people.

However, this also makes many people have a relatively new concept of the level and strength of these two people, and they probably know what level they are at now and what state they should use to face him.

At present, the strength of these two people is probably at the same level as Tony Yang, that is, Yang Yike.

Below the three, above the others.

For a while, everyone was extremely shocked.

But the most shocking thing was not the performance of these two men, but the performance of Hamelin.

Hamelin, who had been suppressed by Zhao Chengzhen, actually exploded directly in the third round and played a performance that was not inferior to Zhao Chengzhen.

The piece he chose was Chopin Mazurka Op33, which was played by the other two players on the first day, and the performance was not particularly good, but it was still in the first echelon.

Nocturne in E major has a little bit of his stuff in it, but it's still in good shape, excellent, perfect, in line with his third-place status, not overstepping it at all.

But......

When it came to his Chopin Piano Sonata No. 3, he suddenly exploded, showing a state that no one could have imagined.

Just like Zhao Chengzhen's breakthrough in the second round, Hamelin also made a breakthrough in the third round.

He did not achieve a breakthrough in all the works in the third round as Fu Tune, but he just made a breakthrough in his Chopin sonatas, which became so infectious that it was difficult to describe the shock in his heart.

In an instant, the expressions of countless judges changed slightly.

At the beginning, when I heard Cho Sung-jin's performance, everyone thought that this year Cho Sung-jin would definitely win one of the three awards of Best Mazurka, Best Polonaise, and Best Piano Sonata, and each of his performances reached the level of the previous session and even the last contestant.

But when they heard Fu tunes playing, they changed a little bit.

At the very least, Zhao Chengzhen shouldn't be able to get the best Matsuka, Fu Tune's Matsuka is much stronger than Zhao Chengzhen, if they score, they will definitely give the best Mazurka to Fu Tune instead of Zhao Chengzhen.

His best polonaise is also a little difficult, but there is a problem, that is, the main score of the best polonaise is placed in the second round, that is, the round that specifically requires polonaise, and the polonaise in this round will be a little preferential, so it is not completely defeated by Fu tune.

But now his Chopin sonatas......

There is no way to say anything at all, and there is absolutely no way for Chopin to get Chopin's Best Piano Sonata.

Whether it is Fu Tune or Hamelin, who is now playing, they play Chopin's best piano sonatas much better than him, and both are piano sonatas played in the Chopin piano sonata wheel, and they will also be given preferential treatment.

Everything from the beginning is possible, and everything that follows is a little dangerous, just a day apart.

For a moment, the group of judges under the stage had a feeling that they did not know who might win the championship of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition.

The first place in the first two rounds is likely to finish third this year? Or is it the strength he showed when he stabilized his breakthrough form?

What kind of joke is this? How can you play like this in a normal game?

As Hamelin's performance continued, the results of the competition gradually became confusing, and many judges could no longer predict who would be more likely to win the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And in the first half of the third day, the last four players played, and the third round of the game was completely over.

Xu Zi's face was not very good, he kept squatting in the corner after the game, frowning stubbornly, and his expression was not good-looking.

The player in front of him, Dmitry Shishkin from Russia, performed very well, and he had a great influence on Alex from the United States, and he also had a lot of influences.

And the Chinese Tony Yang and Yang Yike behind him, his performance level is even more than everyone expected, like Eric Lu and Kate Liu in front, full of personal characteristics carefully carved by Deng Taishan, he was directly crushed into slag.

Obviously, the list of the fourth round has not yet been announced, and Xu Zi already has the illusion that he is about to be eliminated.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, so he could only squat in the corner and rub his temples to calm his mood a little.

But it's not particularly useful, it's uncomfortable or uncomfortable.

Fu Diao and the others had no way to comfort Xu Zi, so they could only shrug their shoulders helplessly and let him be alone for a while.

With the end of Yang Yike's last note, the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition came to an end, and all the judges entered the organizing committee room for the final scoring.

It is worth mentioning that some judges are still not involved in the subsequent decision of the admitter, such as Argerich.

She called many contestants, including Xu Zi, and chatted with them one after another about their music.

When those players heard Argerich's summons, their expressions instantly turned extremely bad.

Because according to the rules, Argerich can't rate the players she has been in contact with.

In that case...... How many chances do these people who were called by her still have a chance to enter the finals?

Xu Zi's face became extremely ugly, but soon, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook the ends of his forehead at will, and said helplessly.

"Forget it, even if I didn't make it to the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition, at least I made it to the third round and was able to receive Argerich's invitation."

"......"

Yu Tianyou looked at Xu Zi with a little envy on the side, his expression was a little jealous: "Obviously, I was also eliminated, why didn't Argerich summon me and talk to me about music?" ”

"Probably because of ...... Are you too vegetable? Argerich listened to your performance and wasn't even interested in chatting with you? ”

"Hit it!"

The crowd joked with each other, and the heavy atmosphere of the game quickly dissipated somewhat, but there was still a little bit left.

After all, for them, being eliminated in the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and being eliminated in the closest situation to victory, was like wrestling at the final level.

It's hard, but there's nothing you can do.

……

While everyone was chatting casually, Li Diyun finally came to Chopin International Airport from Huaguo's plane, took the organizing committee's car directly into the organizing committee's room, looked at the table full of documents, and nodded slightly to everyone.

"I'm sorry, I'm late because I have something to do in my country."

"Lee! You're finally here! An old professor who seemed to have a good relationship with Li Diyun stepped forward and hugged Li Diyun slightly, and then said with a little regret: "But I'm sorry, because you didn't participate in the scoring, we can't let you participate in the final voting and scoring, so ...... I'm so sorry. ”

"It's fine."

Li Diyun waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care, and then looked at the scoring information that was on the table, and said curiously: "But can I take a look at the scoring situation?" It is...... Curious? ”

"Hmm...... Sorry, that's not going to work according to the rules, but you'll be able to watch it when we're announced, but you can watch our vote for the third round. ”

"Okay."

Li Diyun had no choice but to sit on the side and wait for everyone's vote.

The voting for the first round of the Chopin International Piano Competition may be a little loose, but by the second and third rounds, the voting will become extremely strict, and it will no longer be the case that one person thinks he can go straight to the next round.

Instead, in addition to the original score ranking, all the judges need to vote, and if half of the judges think that the contestant can do it, then that contestant will go directly to the next round.

If he is below half, he will not have any chance of progressing to the next round, even if he has the highest score.

Everyone sorted out the papers in their hands, and when all the paper scores were confirmed, a very old judge, wearing a plaid shirt and no hair, if you didn't say it you might think he was a program ape, stepped forward, while the other judges sat inside the judges' table and looked at the judge.

Li Diyun and other people who were not qualified to vote stood directly outside and watched the final vote.

The programmer-like judge held up the file in his hand and spoke.

"Next, I will read out the results of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition, and ask the judges to give whether they will advance or not."

"The first contestant, Russian Galina Chistiakova?"

"Yes, she's playing well and can move on to the next round."

"No, there is no Chopin in her music, she does not conform to the spirit of Chopin! I can only feel Russia from her music, not Poland! You could even say that there is no Poland at all! ”

"Oppose, the level is insufficient, there is a problem with the performance, although the results are okay, but it is still not enough to see among all the players, I don't agree with Galina to enter the next round, the next round of places is not enough, but I agree with her as a candidate, in the case of insufficient numbers, you can be directly selected."

"Against, in favor of entering the candidacy, not in favor of direct entry."

Several people in the audience raised their hands, but not more than half, and the judges took a look and spoke.

"Galina 40%, next, South Korean Sungjin Cho?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Against!"

……

A bunch of people raised their hands, but Li Diyun looked at the group of people and found that not all of them raised their hands, but several did not raise their hands, and even shouted out their objections.

What's going on? Why did Zhao Chengzhen, who had always ranked first in the front, raise his hand? Obviously, in the first round when he was there, almost everyone raised their hands, but now his support rate has dropped?

After the judge glanced at it, he registered in his hand: "Cheng Zhen 93.3, tsk, next, Hua Guo, Dio Fu." ”

Wow!

All the hands were raised, and Li Diyun was stupid, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and it was hard to believe what he was seeing now.

Wait a minute?

Didn't the group get the name wrong?

Obviously, in the first round, it was Zhao Chengzhen who was recognized by everyone as passing the competition, and a few people in Fu Diao did not agree, why did he change it directly now?

I just participated in the second and third rounds less, is the difference in the competition so big? Are you kidding?

He didn't participate in the second round, and he didn't know the specific results, but Zhao Chengzhen was also the first place, so he couldn't suddenly pull it in the third round, right?

And what surprised him even more didn't stop there.

Aimi Kobayashi, who was previously recognized as the strongest person in Toei, has only 50% support.

Eric Lu and Kate Liu, who didn't particularly care about at the beginning, have their support ratings of 92.9 and 100 respectively, and are the second in the top 100 players today.

The third hundred players are Hamelin, but Hamelin Li Diyun is not much surprised, because Hamelin has always been the first person after Zhao Chengzhen, he got 100% support in the first round, and now it is still 100% in the third round, which should be relatively normal.

And the fourth with 100% support is Yang Yike.

Li Diyun's whole person felt that something was wrong.

Fu Tune, Kate Liu, Hamelin, Yang Yike, the four have a full score support rate, and Zhao Chengzhen, who has always been considered the first, has a support rate of only 93.3?

Isn't the world a little too crazy?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Diyun gently poked another jury member next to him who was not eligible to vote, and whispered.

"Hello, I have a question...... Among the contestants in the third round, did Cho Sung-jin play badly? Why does he seem to ...... Not favored? ”

"Lee, Lee! You, you, you...... Are you talking to me? ”

The jury didn't expect Li Diyun to actually talk to him, and for a while, Bozi was a little pink, and he seemed very excited.

But soon, his excitement paused, and he said to Li Diyun as calmly as possible: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but what you said is ...... I'm not too good to say. ”

"Not so easy to say? Why? ”

"Because I don't know."

The jury members looked at the group of judges who were exchanging opinions with helpless expressions.

"The situation in the third round is really outrageous, I don't know what to say, a group of people gave Zhao Chengzhen a score that didn't pass, and I even felt that it was reasonable."

"Reasonable?" Li Diyun was stupid, he didn't expect such an answer at all.

"To be precise, there was a bigger difference between all the judges, and they also had a confrontation about the music they wanted, and Cho Sung-jin's performance was the most problematic, and many judges began to think about what exactly was needed for the Chopin International Piano Competition, so they ......."

The two said that the jury had decided on the results of the third round, and after handing one of the copies to the staff who had been waiting on the side, the judge who had a good relationship with Li Diyun came over, handed him the document in his hand with a smile, and spoke.

"Okay, Li, we have announced the results of the third round, so the results of the third round have been lifted, this is the specific results of the third round, you can take a look, but if you want to see the scoring of each judge in the third round, there is no way, that has been banned and saved, unless there is a problem with the scoring, it is generally not shown to others, you know."

"Well, thank you."

Li Diyun took the document in the man's hand gratefully, and looked at the results typed out according to the name on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

When he saw the results of Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, the whole person was completely stunned, and there was no way to believe that what he saw was true.

Fu Diao's results...... How outrageous is it?
