For the Paganini Violin Competition, the match point of the domestic division is in the imperial capital Yanjing City.

On Sunday afternoon, according to the time requirements of the organizing committee, I would rather come to the primary selection venue on time - Green Concert Hall.

Such international competitions have always been very popular in China, not to mention that there are excess bonuses in the domestic divisions this year, and the players who came to participate in the primary selection have already lined up in long queues.

Ning Xi looked at the flow of people in line, and was about to line up at the back.

"Rather pity!"

Suddenly I heard someone call her name.

Ning Xi turned her face and followed the sound to look over, only to see Chen Chen, a violin in the same orchestra, waving to her with a smile.

Ning Xi walked over with the piano, and Chen Chen immediately grabbed her arm affectionately.

"I thought you wouldn't sign up?"

"I'm just going to have a good time." Ning Xi smiled.

"What, I'm really having fun. I knew you had signed up for the competition, so I came with you. Chen Chen looked at the time, "Otherwise, you are in line with me, and I will go to the back, don't you still have a tutor class?" ”

"No, no, no." Ning Xi was busy waving his hand, "I'll line up at the back, and I'll have time." ”

Everyone participated in the preliminary examination, and they would rather be embarrassed to occupy Chen Chen's position.

As soon as she finished speaking, a caustic voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"Let's take a look, it's too unqualified to cut the queue like this, right?"

Ning Xi didn't even have to turn his face to look, he could already recognize who it was by his voice.

Turning her face, she looked sideways behind Chen Chen.

Sure enough, I saw Chu Jinyan's sister Chu Jinchen, who was also queuing up to prepare for the primary election with a few good female classmates.

Hearing that someone was cutting in line, everyone turned their faces to Ning Xi in unison.

Seeing Ning Xi standing beside Chen Chen, everyone immediately misunderstood.

"What quality?"

"That's it, everyone is lining up, why are you cutting in line?"

"Quite a big man, so uneducated!"

……

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Chen immediately stood up and helped Ning Xi explain, "I'm asking her to line up with me, I'll go to the back, this is my seat, I can give it to whoever I want, isn't that okay?" ”

Pulling Ning Xi to his place, Chen Chen glanced at everyone, turned around and walked to the back of the team.

"Chen Chen!" Ning Xi hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her, "Quick, you go back quickly, I'll be the same in the back." ”

"Then let's go to the back together." Chen Chen smiled and grabbed her arm, "I'm not in a hurry anyway, I just want to chat with you for a while." ”

The other party insisted on it, and he had no choice but to walk to the end of the team with her.

Chu Jinchen glanced at the two of them from a distance and rolled his eyes.

A few classmates who came with her immediately whispered.

"I didn't expect Ning Xi to come to the competition."

"Yes, I heard that she won the national championship when she was in junior high school and reached the semifinals."

"That's over, let's not think about entering the finals, this time the domestic division champion must be her."

……

"Before it was, now it's now." Chu Jinchen looked disappreciative, "I don't believe it, she can still win the championship again and again?" ”

Several classmates knew that no one spoke out again about her relationship with Ning Xi.

Soon, Chu Jinchen and others were lined up.

Handing over the registration form to the staff, Chu Jinchen was the first to walk into the primary selection site.

The on-site judges, except for a professional judge arranged by the organizing committee of the competition, are all celebrities and violinists in the domestic music industry.

According to the requirements of the competition, each primer should play a violin piece, which will be scored by the judges on the spot.

Candidates who reach a score of 90 or more will be eligible to participate in the official competition.

After a brief introduction, Chu Jinchen played a classic piece of Paganini - Concerto in D major.

After so many years of learning the piano, her skills are far beyond that of ordinary violinists, and the judges nodded their heads and gave her a good score.

Finally, the average score was calculated, and Chu Jinchen's final score was 96 points.

The few students waiting behind were all envious.

"Oh my God, Jin Chen, you're amazing!"

"That's the highest score so far."

……

Chu Jinchen was proud in his heart, and his face was just deliberately modest.

"Don't worry, you can too."

Several classmates also took the stage one after another, but none of them got a high score of more than 90 points.

"Jinchen, come on!"

"When you think you've become a champion, you want to invite us to dinner!"

……

Several classmates did not pass the primary election, and they were disappointed, so they left the scene after a few ridicules.

Chu Jinchen walked to the back and sat down with the other finalists, waiting for the final official notice.

The players in the back came to the stage one after another.

There are some who have a high score of more than 90 points, but none of them surpass Chu Jinchen.

Chu Jinchen sat on the chair, looking at the score card in his hand, and his mood was extremely excited.

"Next, pity!"

Hearing Ning Xi's name, Chu Jinchen immediately straightened his back.

Carrying the piano to the bandstand, he gracefully saluted the judges.

"Good morning, teachers, my name is Ning Xi, I am a senior at the Yenching Conservatory of Music, and I am currently interning in the orchestra. Today's repertoire I'm going to play is "Like a Song". ”

After a brief self-introduction, Ning Xi lifted the piano and put it on his shoulder, took a light breath, adjusted his mood, and played seriously and attentively.

Hearing her piano sound, the judges nodded their heads.

When the music entered the back part, not to mention a few domestic judges, the chief judge of the organizing committee who was specially arranged by the jury all showed a look of amazement.

At the end of the song, all the judges applauded together.

Afterwards, everyone divided into scores.

Chu Jinchen nervously pinched the scorecard and stood up from the chair.

"Ning Xi's final score is two 100 points, two 98 points, and three 99 points......" The female staff member in charge of hosting the event was excited in her tone, "Congratulations, Miss Ning Xi, your final score is ...... 99 points, which is also the highest score at the moment. ”

Chen Chen, who was standing next to him, and the contestants who passed the scene all cheered for her.

"Thank you!"

There wasn't too much smug expression on Ning Xi's face.

As before the start of the race, she still has a graceful smile.

In the first competition a few years ago, she scored the only perfect score in the primary audition.

This time there is a point short, and I would rather not feel too proud.

Seeing her go, Chen Chen rushed over excitedly.

"Ningxi, you're too good!"

"Next, Chen Chen!"

"Let's go!" Ning Xi made a cheering gesture to her, "Come on!" ”

Chen Chen walked to the stage and prepared to play.

Ning Xi pinched the scorecard and walked to the back seat.

Sitting next to Chu Jinchen, separated by a few chairs.

Slanting a glance at the scorecard in her hand, her eyes fell on the red "99", Chu Jinchen pinched the fingers of the scorecard, and with a little force, the scorecard in her hand was pinched by her and deformed a little.

Soon, Chen Chen also completed his performance and was shortlisted for the primary selection with a score of just 90 points.

There are no other players behind us, so the staff asks everyone to come to the stage.

The professional judges of the organizing committee came to the stage in person to issue an official invitation to the competition.

Subsequently, the judges and staff applauded together and congratulated the contestants.

"I wish all the players good results in the official competition."

In the voice of the hostess, the primaries are officially over.

Chen Chen grabbed the scorecard and grabbed Ning Xi's arm with an excited face.

"Oh my God, I'm finally shortlisted!"

"Huh-" Chu Jinchen sneered, "It's just a circle, and I'm as happy as if I've won the championship." ”

Chen Chen glanced at her and recognized that she was the one who had just deliberately said that he would rather cut in line, and unceremoniously replied to her with a pair of big white eyes.

"Your score is higher than mine, but it's still far from us!"
