"Sixth place, Russia, Dmitry Shishkin!"

Applause broke out in the concert hall.

Russian player Dmitry jumped out of the crowd, and there was no way to hide the excitement in his heart, waving vigorously at the crowd of spectators behind him who had received special invitations.

He didn't expect that he could actually get sixth place, after hearing Hamelin's performance, he had always felt that he might not be able to participate in the competition, and it was almost the same as winning a winning award, who would have thought that he would actually be sixth?

If he is sixth, Fu, Zhao, and Hamelin occupy the top three, then there are only two people left in the remaining positions?

Who will these two be?

Dmitry was excited, but at the same time, he looked curiously at the remaining nine people around him, especially the three students who studied with Deng Taishan, and he was curious about which of the three would be eliminated.

If you look at the performance of the fourth round of the final round, the easiest to be eliminated is ...... It should be Yang Yike, right?

Dmitry's eyes looked at Yang Yike, but he didn't expect the eyes of the two to coincide, and he couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly.

It's just that he didn't expect that others were equally surprised, and the fifth player was not Kate Liu Eric Lu in their hearts, but ......

"Fifth place, Jia Ma Da, Yi Ke (Tony) Yang!"

Everyone looked at Yang Yike on the side in great surprise, and there was no way to believe that the name just read out was actually Yang Yike.

If the sixth place is Dmitry is a bit strange, but it is reasonable, the fifth place Yang Yi Coco is a bit abnormal.

After all, Yang Yike's performance in the final was too poor, and there was a lot of overturned content, how could he still get the fifth place?

What is this ranking? Why did he finish fifth?

All kinds of thoughts flashed in everyone's hearts, and they were a little puzzled by the scoring standards of the organizing committee and wanted to question it.

But when they thought of Yang Yike's performance in the previous three rounds, the doubts in their hearts dissipated a lot.

Anyway, the applause that should be given still needs to be given, and after Yang Yike's name was announced, everyone still applauded as before, congratulating Yang Yike on his victory.

Yang Yike's face didn't have any embarrassment or anything like that, he just smiled and nodded lightly with the people around him.

This is actually quite normal, he already knew what he might be doing when he didn't perform well in the final.

From the end of the third round to the fourth round of the finals, the judges had already told them all this, that the judges actually had a rough idea of who should be given what kind of ranking.

Compared with the knockout round, perhaps the points knockout round should be more in line with the competition method of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The elimination is just the result, the points are the process, and the points he got in the early rounds were too high, even if the last round was not particularly good, he could still get a very good result, such as the fifth place he has now.

However, since this is only a simple small-scale award, the official award and the award of the prize money will be held by the winner in a few days, so he only has an award certificate handed over by the staff just now.

The staff did not continue to announce the rankings, but waited for the discussion to be a little quieter before continuing.

"The next fourth and third places are Eric Lu from the beautiful country, Kate Liu! Eric Lu, fourth, Kate Liu, third. ”

“？”

When the voice fell, countless voices suddenly appeared in the concert hall, and everyone suddenly felt extremely surprised, they never thought that Kate Liu and Eric Lu would be able to get such results.

It was actually very unexpected that Tony Young was able to win the fifth place before, but now Kate Liu Eric Lu and the two are the most unexpected.

The three students of Deng Taishan actually all went to the finals, and even won the third, fourth, and fifth places in the finals, what is this concept?

A total of four people participated, except for one who was a little regrettable and was eliminated by Anna Zhou, the other three people overcame all obstacles and won the ranking.

One teacher, three winners.

Even if there were some performances that weren't particularly perfect, there was no way to hide the results they had won.

All the staff got the rankings, and no matter how many instructors dreamed of the results, they might not be able to imagine the results.

Kate Liu, Eric Lu, and Tony Young were also a little surprised at this moment, and after the three of them looked at each other, although there was still a little gap, they still stretched out their hands to collide with each other, expressing the excitement in their hearts.

Although it is a little regrettable that I didn't win the championship, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing about not winning the championship.

After all, after all, you are still one of the best young players in the world to play Chopin, and if you get the ranking, you will definitely be favored by the agency, and their goals have been achieved.

It may seem a bit cheesy to say this, and it doesn't match the temperament of an artist, but the main reason why everyone participates in the competition is not to win the first place and prove that they are invincible in the world.

Everyone knows that everyone's characteristics in their music are the capital they rely on to survive, so not being able to win the first place in the competition doesn't actually prove anything.

Being able to be noticed by an agency and then invested in touring the world and realizing their artistic ambitions is what they want.

In addition, they also know that their level is still a big step away from Hamelin, Zhao Chengzhen, and Fu Diao, so for them, especially for Kate Liu, who won the third, she is even more excited.

She originally expected that she might be around fourth, but she didn't expect to be able to climb to third.

So that means ......

Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin will share the first and second positions?

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to think that any of these three people will be eliminated, they have not been below the level of the top three from beginning to end, and the three of them have not even overturned the car many times, no matter how deep their brains are, no matter how 'art', they will not be able to make the Chopin International Piano Competition a 'performance art'.

Even if someone wanted to, everyone else couldn't go crazy with him.

So it's a foregone conclusion that the three of them will share the top two.

So the question is, the first should not be shared, so who will get the first place?

The host who stood at the front, he looked around at the people under the stage, smiled and dragged out his tone, and slowly spoke.

"Next, I will announce the second prize of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition, who is ......"

The host paused, looked at Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, and joked.

"Fu!"

“？” Fu Tiao looked up blankly, looked at the host, and then at the judges behind the host, and couldn't help blinking.

Myself...... Second?

It's just that he didn't expect that the host's words were not over, and he immediately opened his mouth to ask after reading Fu's name.

"Are you nervous?"

"I ......" Fu Tuo almost didn't catch his breath, and just wanted to say something, but looking at the slightly complicated expressions of the other people around him, he seemed to understand something, and said hesitantly.

"I ...... I'm not nervous. ”

"Haha, really? When I heard Ling's name appear in second place just now, didn't I feel a little bit of cardiac arrest? The host laughed loudly, and the others smiled in a friendly way.

Fu Tiao helplessly spread his hands and made a South Korean angry gesture: "Okay, there is indeed a little bit." ”

"Aha, congratulations!"

The host leaned his body to the side, revealing the staff who were preparing to present the award next to him, pointed to the two awards in the hands of the graceful girl, and said: "Congratulations, don't be nervous, because the second is not you." ”

"Friends, let us welcome 2015, the runner-up of the 17th Chopin International Piano Competition! South Korea! Cheng Zhen, Zhao! And...... Gama Da! Charles Richard Hamelin! ”

"Also, the winner of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition...... Dio Fu! ”

Wow!

Applause rang out, and everyone was cheering for the birth of the final winner of the Chopin International Piano Competition, as well as the second prize of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Zhao Chengzhen's expression was more helpless, he looked at Hamelin and Fu Diao beside him, sighed softly, opened his hands, and said to Fu Tiao.

"Fu Tune, congratulations, sure enough, you won the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Thank you, after all, I drink coffee with my temperament, not to look for Chopin's feelings, you see, I didn't find the right thing to do, right?" Fu Tiao looked at the cheering crowd around him, and then at Zhao Chengzhen, who was very helpless, and couldn't help but joke.

Zhao Chengzhen almost didn't squirt out when he heard it, but coughed twice in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Forget it, don't say it, the game has passed, and I am me, not Chopin, of course, if you can still meet me later, you must also remember that I may not be me at the time, but someone else, the player I am studying, so if there is anything offensive in the back, forgive me." ”

"Okay."

Fu Tiao bent down and hugged Zhao Chengzhen to each other, patted each other's shoulders, and then let go.

Hamelin was also by Fu Diao's side, and when Zhao Chengzhen left, he also opened his huge shoulders, hugged Fu Diao, and said with a smile.

"Fu! Congratulations! ”

"Thank you."

After the two also hugged gently, they let go directly, Hamelin looked at Zhao Chengzhen beside him, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and seemed to joke with a little self-deprecation: "Anyway, I still expect you to beat Zhao down in the second round, so that I have better room to play, the more fierce you two fight, the greater my chance, I didn't expect that in the end you beat Zhao down, I haven't had a chance to come up." ”

"Then you may need to work a little harder." Fu Tiao was also happy and said with a smile.

"I've worked very hard, who would have thought that you two perverts would be so strong, what do you want me to do, I'm also desperate!"

"So you need to work harder, after all, no matter what, it's not wrong to say that people don't work hard enough."

"Cut, I don't want to be like you Asian prodigies Lingling, practicing for a full forty hours a day, almost growing on a chair, and even sleeping on a piano bench, this kind of life is really boring, I still want to bask in the sun with my little girlfriends."

Hamelin patted Fu Tuo's shoulder and smiled maliciously: "Fu, compared to Zhao, your music is actually more pure, I don't think you are romantic enough, you may need to find a girlfriend, no, or you don't need a girlfriend, you find someone who can communicate with you physically, you may be able to make your music more romantic, you know, I like that kind of ...... Romantic. ”

When talking about romance, he made a fireworks appearance with both hands, raised his eyebrows at Fu Diao again, and then walked to the podium, took the award certificate from the staff, waved at Fu Tiao, and then laughed and opened his hands, walked to his parents in the crowd, and a blonde girl with blue eyes, bee waist and round buttocks, full of Western aesthetics, and kissed deeply.

Then he handed his certificate to the woman, as if to say that this was his gift to her.

Fu Tiao looked at him flirting like that, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and after scolding in a low voice "obscene", he turned his head to look at Zhao Chengzhen beside him, but he didn't expect Zhao Chengzhen to turn his face away with a bad face, and scolded the same in South Korean.

The two looked at each other, suddenly realized what the other was scolding, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Fu Tiao stretched out his hand towards the stairs and said with a smile: "Please, second place, come to the stage to receive the award." ”

"You don't need to be reminded, number one."

Zhao Chengzhen waved his hand and smiled, then walked forward, walked to the front of the staff, took the award certificate in their hands, and after saying a few words, turned around and walked to the stage.

And Fu Tiao stepped forward after Zhao Chengzhen and also took the award certificate handed by the staff.

The moderator stood aside and clapped softly and smiled.

"This is a certificate for you, proof that you have won first place this year, and the next trophy and prize money will be given to you at the award ceremony before the winner's concert in five days' time, so you don't have to worry too much."

"So...... Are there going to be two award ceremonies? ”

"No, in fact, the second award ceremony was mainly organized by the Polish Ministry of Culture, not by us, after all, the approval of the prize money needs to go from their side, as well as the production of the trophy, as well as the production of sound recordings, they are needed."

The host shook his head slightly, and continued to Fu Tuo: "The awards will be held in the Chopin Concert Hall, in addition to the trophies of each of you, there are also awards for the best interpretation of works, after the awards, it will be you, Zhao Chengzhen, Hamelin The solo concert of the three, but depending on the situation, one person may be cut, or the duration may be cut, this is not very certain, anyway...... Enjoy your victory in these last days.

Oh no, maybe you can't rest yet, after all, you still have a lot to do, after all, you're a champion. ”

With that, he patted Fu Tiao on the shoulder, then turned to bow slightly to the other judges.

The atrium of the concert hall suddenly became extremely noisy, some judges went upstairs to their lounge to rest, and some judges went to the bottom of the stairs to start interacting with the other contestants.

Each player was surrounded by several people, and everyone was greeting them cordially and friendly.

In the true sense of cordiality and friendliness, even with a hint of flattering greetings, not the 'cordial and friendly' of Sun Bar.

The same is true of Fu Tuo's side, and everyone gathers around him, congratulating Fu Tuo on winning the Chopin International Piano Competition, and enthusiastically introducing himself and the school behind them.

Even brokerage firms.

Everyone was not particularly straightforward, but moved forward little by little along the topic of conversation.

Li Diyun stood on the stairs, raised his hand and looked at Fu Tiaogang in the crowd who was about to go over and say something, but looking at the appearance of the surrounding water, he could only put his hand down a little helplessly and turned to go upstairs.

Tonight, this stage belongs to Fu Diao, so let Fu Diao play freely on this stage and don't disturb him.

Standing in the distance, He Shen and Yu Tianyou also planned to squeeze forward, but they found that they had no way to squeeze in, so they could only stand aside helplessly, waiting for Fu Diao's side to finish.

After all, their identity is really nothing in this place, and it can only be said that an audience who is relatively lucky to be allowed to enter the small award ceremony.

Brotz and the boss finally found the person they had chosen at this time, and the two of them laughed at the same time, and were about to go in to find Fu Tiao to catch up, but because the people around them were rushing towards Fu Tiao, neither of them was in particularly good health, and it was very difficult to squeeze in.

"So...... How do we both make a bet? Brodz said helplessly.

The boss looked at the dense crowd around him, and said hesitantly: "Why don't you ......, I will invite you for a year, and you will also invite me for a year?" ”

"Cut, you're not going to invite me to your bar, are you?"

"How...... How so? Hahaha......"

"Forget it, or that's it, you invite me today, and I'll invite you to a bar near my house to drink, his home-brewed vodka still tastes good!"

"Done! That's fine, go for a walk, go drinking. ”

The two looked at Fu Diao, who was surrounded by everyone behind them, but finally did not bother and turned to leave.

Fu Tiao was dealing with the fatigue of those people around him, naturally he didn't know that the people he was very familiar with couldn't get close, but just as he was smiling reluctantly and discussing music with someone next to him, a faint fragrance rushed towards his nose.

This scent is very familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere?

Just as Fu Tiao was pondering where the smell of perfume came from, a lady with the same perfect figure and a strong aristocratic temperament, wearing a white evening dress, spotless as a snowflake, walked up to him.

Emilia Poniatowska smiled and stopped in front of Fu Tuo, whispering in a voice with a seductive voice, blowing a warm breeze in his ear.

"Little boy~, I want to learn piano, can you come at night and teach~ me?"
