Although Li Diyun can be regarded as the strongest and most famous performer in China except for Lang Liangyue, but on the side of the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition, Li Diyun can still only be regarded as a junior.

It's not that I look down on Li Diyun or anything, mainly if you say that Li Diyun is a big man in the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, I'm afraid passers-by don't feel anything, and his fans will run over to tell you not to kill him.

In addition to the traditional top pianists like Argerich Deng Taishan, there are also a large number of national treasure pianists from various countries in the jury team.

Everyone is the kind of person who has been playing on the world stage for nearly 50 years, you say that Li Diyun is more awesome than these people, in addition to thinking that you are a killing, what can you think of your good intentions?

Of course! Some of these people may indeed be declining in terms of technical strength, after all, many people are old and do not have the ability to continue playing, but their sensitivity to music is still there, and their thinking about music is still there, which has improved with time.

So you say that they are not as good as Li Diyun technically, but to say that they are not as good as Li Diyun in music, then it is a bit fantastical.

Li Diyun also knew this, so he didn't rush directly into the topic like those judges, regardless of 3721, and scolded other judges and scolded.

Instead, after listening to everyone's conversations, and after careful consideration, a specific policy was decided.

Of course, there must be a little bit of a bias in this policy, and it is not purely completely neutral.

He raised his hand, and the crowd who was originally a little noisy couldn't help but look at him, and the professor who was sitting at the front in charge of the final decision of the game frowned slightly and said casually.

"Li, this is a normal exchange, you don't need to raise your hand to signal, we don't have this rule."

"I'm sorry."

Li Diyun smiled slightly awkwardly at everyone, and then said, "So...... Can you please listen to my opinion? ”

"Yes, you can just say it."

After getting the professor's confirmation, Li Diyun nodded slightly, got up and spoke to everyone.

"If we can, we can recalculate a weight to calculate how each contestant performs on the piece."

No one in the crowd spoke, but looked at Li Diyun, waiting for the calculation method behind him.

Li Diyun continued: "Our current calculation method is that there is almost no difference in the weight level of each work, after all, in our inherent impression, every Chopin work should be of the same level of importance, and there should be no artificial distinction between these works.

But in the face of the finals, although we can directly use the total score to calculate the corresponding score, we always feel that such a score is difficult to convince the public in the real sense, so ...... We can redefine these works.

For example...... The more important works, such as Chopin's Polonaise dances, which occupy a unique part of all Chopin's works, are given higher marks, while those ordinary works, or those that are not original to Chopin, are given lower weight, such as Chopin's preludes, what do you think? ”

When the words fell, someone immediately refused.

"No! Although Chopin's preludes are imitations of Bach's work, Chopin's entire preludes still have very high artistic value, and I completely disagree with the weight of the preludes being reduced! ”

"What about the other works? Like a ballade? Li Diyun proposed again.

But it was still rejected by everyone.

"No, the ballade is Chopin's original work, and it is difficult for subsequent ballades to have works that can reach the height of Chopin, and you can't reduce the weight of Chopin's ballade!"

"Then discuss the weight of each piece for yourselves."

Li Diyun seems to be a bit of a mess, and he doesn't want to continue to discuss this.

Everyone's eyes flickered and they fell into deep thought.

As Li Diyun said, not all of Chopin's works are very important to them.

For example, Chopin's etudes, although many people play Chopin's etudes as music, but in fact, Chopin's etudes are still etudes after all, although they have high technical value, and there are many people who listen to them, and many people like these works, but you have no way to say that the gold content of these works is stronger than Chopin's ballades.

Nocturne may be beautiful and beautiful, but really, what about the artistic component of these works? Did he really reach the limits of what Chopin was able to achieve artistically?

Everyone knows very well that if the weight of these works is determined according to the artistic level, a series of problems may arise, but Li Diyun's proposal for the artistic level is indeed a way to solve the current problems.

So the question is, what works have a high artistic level and what works have a low artistic level?

After thinking about it, everyone excluded the first round of works for the time being, because the first round of works were basically some of the more common works, such as etudes, such as boat songs, nocturnes, and so on.

It's not that these works can't be good, but compared with Chopin's ballades, Chopin's sonatas, and Chopin's polona, I always feel that there is still a little bit of a difference.

Since the first round is not discussed, the main discussion is the works of the second and third rounds.

This is what Li Diyun wants.

Although Fu Diao's current total score is the highest on everyone's side, after all, Fu Diao's performance in the first round is not particularly good.

Even if you say that he feels good about playing, it still feels a little bit worse than the second and third rounds, and his music has not been fully released.

Therefore, the rhythm of Li Diyun's belt directly made Fu Diao's worst round be ignored for the time being, and the attention was directly placed on the second and third rounds where everyone played the best.

Although Zhao Chengzhen played better in the second round, his results in the third round were not ideal, which means that Zhao Chengzhen's results will not be as noticeable as before.

When many people discuss Zhao Chengzhen, they use Zhao Chengzhen to be the first place in two consecutive rounds, that is, he did not get the first place in the third and fourth rounds to refute Fu Tune's first place.

So now, Zhao Chengzhen only has one first, and Fu Tune is two firsts, and Fu Tune has a higher advantage on many people's side.

This kind of careful thinking did not hide everyone's sight, and after they glanced at Li Diyun meaningfully, they did not reject Li Diyun's proposal, but rethought it and planned a more specific score evaluation.

After all, using Li Diyun's method can indeed reduce many people's entanglements.

At the same time, Li Diyun didn't stop there, he continued to speak to everyone.

"In order to make the competition a little fairer, we also saw that many contestants played the second round in the third round and the third round in the second round, and their repertoire planning was a bit repetitive, so we can make a comparison between our previous works of Fu, Zhao and Hamelin, especially Fu and Zhao, after all, many of the works they played are actually the same, so ......"

Li Diyun shook his shoulders and didn't say anything.

A judge on the side looked at Li Diyun, thought about it, and then sighed and said: "Compared with your previous proposal for artistic evaluation, I prefer your suggestion of single comparison." ”

"Indeed, let's look at the individual items first, and see who is the best among the individual works, and just judge the best works of this year."

"Well, I personally recommend evaluating their Chopin Mazurka first, and the best Chopin Mazurka I recommend is Kate Liu, and my favorite is her performance."

"Kate Liu is really good, and I still remember the mazurka she played in the third round."

"Do anyone else have any opinions?"

"I like Dioruca even more, and I give Diorfo a vote because his performance on Mazurka is a perfect match for my impression of Mazurka."

"I recommend Hamelin, I like his feeling even more."

"Doesn't anyone like Zhao? Actually, Zhao is not bad. ”

"Zhao still feels a little bit missing, and his performance is far inferior to Fu's, so I have no way to support Zhao's performance to be the best this year."

"Kate Liu and Dior Fu, choose one of these two, and everyone votes!"

After everyone quickly raised their hands to express their love for the contestants, the selection results of the organizing committee appeared and nodded slightly.

"Best Mazurka, Kate Liu, no problem, next, best polonaise, and then Mr. Zimmerman, please wait a moment to announce your favorite piano sonata, thank you."

"Okay."

A low voice came from the side of everyone, and Li Diyun immediately looked at his gaze, an old handsome man like a European man sat there easily, with his straight and slender legs crossed, his hands on his knees, and he watched them quarrel with a smile.

He seemed to see Li Diyun's gaze, and immediately turned his head slightly, met Li Diyun's gaze, and then smiled and nodded.

Li Diyun was a little surprised for a while, he didn't notice that Zimmerman was actually sitting there and didn't speak all the time.

However, this is actually normal, after all, it is already the final evaluation, and the award for the best sonata is decided by Zimmerman, and he has no problem coming to the scene.

Looking at the quarrel of everyone at the long table, Zimmerman seemed to be accustomed to it, picked up the signature pen on the side, raised his head and thought for a moment, and then handed the business card in his hand to the person in charge without hesitation.

"The winner of this year's Zimmermann Best Piano Sonata is...... Hamelin? ”

The tone of the person in charge was a little shocked, and the other people on the side were the same, they didn't expect that this year's best sonata was actually Hamelin, according to their thoughts, they thought it should be Fu tune, after all, Fu tune's performance was really beautiful, especially the thought of death, which really shocked them.

Zimmerman looked at everyone, nodded lightly without hesitation, and said with a smile: "My favorite interpretation feeling is still Hamelin, the tenderness contained in his performance, I can't get rid of it after listening to it five or six times, I like his sonata very much." ”

"In that case, then I'll sign up."

The person in charge sighed, then looked at Li Diyun and said in a loud voice.

"Lee! You haven't said your decision on the best Chopin, who do you think is the best Choponist? ”

"Best Polonaise? I think ......" Li Diyun was woken up by the voice of the person in charge, looking at the expressions of the people around him looking at him, he was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know why everyone was looking at him.

However, thinking of the question given to him by the person in charge just now, Li Diyun was entangled for a moment, feeling that he still couldn't directly call Fu Diao's name.

If you directly say that Fu plays the best, will those staff members think that he has a problem? Someone who says he is partial to his own country?

Li Diyun looked at the fact that there seemed to be many people behind him who didn't say anything, and it should be no problem for him to say one casually, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhao, Zhao and Fu are about the same, but let me choose, I will choose Zhao." ”

"Okay, Zhao voted 43%, Fu 40%, Hamelin 17%, since this is the case, there is no need to revote, this year's best pola is Zhao."

“？”

Li Diyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he was actually the last, he immediately turned his head to look at the judge on the side, and whispered.

"Wait, you're all done?"

"Yes, we just called you for a long time, and you didn't hear it, so we voted later...... But I didn't expect you to vote for Zhao, I thought you would give your country's Fu, anyway, why didn't you give Fu just now, is it because you have a bad relationship with Fu? What contradictions do you have? ”

"Contradictions? There is no ......" Li Diyun smiled bitterly, his attention just now was completely attracted by Zimmerman, and he didn't notice that everyone had already started voting.

But now it's too late to regret it, he can only sigh and knead his eyebrows hard.

The person in charge pulled a whiteboard from the other people's place, with the names of each work written on it, looking at this day shift, the person in charge said: "Okay, everyone, now let's enter the secret ballot, according to the remaining works above, choose the most perfect works you think, and then we will score and judge them to determine the final winner." ”

When the words fell, the staff on the side immediately handed Li Diyun a blank piece of paper with a form attached and asked him to fill it out.

Li Diyun couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, he glanced at the titles of the works on it, directly copied all the titles of the works, and directly filled in Fu Tiao's name on it.

Fuck benevolence and morality, labor and management are partial to their own people, and labor and management are to support their own people, do you care?

Although this piece of paper may be eliminated by the organizing committee, after all, the election of the overall score is different from the previous election of the best work, but he still has to write like this.

Even if you abstain from voting and cast invalid votes, it is better than letting someone else win because of your own vote.

Everyone was writing their votes, and the person in charge of the organizing committee called a few staff members to ask them to take out the day's score table again, ask them individually, refine the scores they gave, and confirm the scores of individual works.

Everything is in full swing, and many, many algorithms are used to finally calculate the final winner.

Looking at the answers obtained after calculating everything, there was no expression on the face of the head of the organizing committee.

It looks incredibly natural.

There is not much difference between this answer and the answer in his heart, and it is very normal to get this answer.

After all......

He really deserves the title of champion.

The person in charge picked up the note, glanced at the note sent by the Polish National Philharmonic Orchestra again, which said that they voted for the best piano concerto, he suddenly smiled, overlapped the two pieces of paper, looked at all the judges who were looking at him, and said softly.

"Well, now let's announce that in 2015, the overall winner of the 17th Chopin International Piano Competition and the winner of the best Chopin Piano Concerto, he is the ......"

“……”

Fu Diao and the others didn't know about the quarrel on the organizing committee's side and the discussion of the final results of the competition, but they knew one thing, that is, ...... The results may have already been out.

Because the surrounding staff began to get busy, as if preparing their route to the center of the stage, it took a while for two young and beautiful female volunteers to appear in front of everyone, smiling and speaking.

"Fellow participants, please get up, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition has decided the final champion and the sub-prizes, now please come with us to the atrium of the Chopin Concert Hall, where we will hold the final award ceremony."

With that, the two of them opened the tall door to the lounge, revealing a path.

Without any hesitation, everyone got up and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, they were still chatting casually over there, but when they saw Fu Diao and the others coming out, their voices involuntarily lowered, and they stepped back to give them a place.

From the backstage on the third floor, to the hall on the first floor, the background board placed in the hall has been completely replaced with the words "final awards", and dozens of judges are standing on the opposite steps to whisper and chat.

It wasn't until I saw the players come to the hall that the communication became quieter.

There was silence all around, and everyone was waiting for the results.

In the corner of the atrium of the concert hall hall, Brotz and the bar owner stood in the corner, frowning at each other, waiting for the other to invite him for a year's drink.

Under the expectation of everyone, the three staff members who were exactly the same as before took an envelope, walked to the microphone in front of all the judges, looked at the people under the steps with a smile, and spoke softly.

"Next, I will announce to you all the winners of the 17th Chopin International Piano Competition!"

"First of all, the sixth-place finisher......"

I went to sweep the grave and finished writing
