Chapter 88： 88th (1/2)
”Uh, why look at me like this” Ji Xuan asked strangely after waving the chopsticks in her hand twice.
Xiao Yu smiled, ”Do you want to die?”
Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows, and then she said, ”Of course not.”
”Then eat.”
Jixuan nodded, and when it was almost finished, Jixuan went upstairs and gave Xiao Yu a gift box and said, ”I bought a dress for your final.”
Xiao Yu blinked and said, ”I don't need to buy it again.”
Ji Xuan smiled and said, ”It's okay, I like to buy you a dress.”
Ji Xuan bought a black dress this time, and Xiao Yuyi said righteously, ”Don't buy it anymore, it's expensive and wasteful. Oh, it looks pretty, I'll change it.”
Then Xiao Yu went upstairs with the gift box to change clothes, Ji Xuan was left behind ””
Xiao Yu changed his dress and put on a red coat outside.
Then he asked Ji Xuan, ”Is it good?”
Ji Xuan nodded and said obsessively, ”Well, beautiful.”
Xiao Yu smiled and said, ”It really is a pedophile.”
Ji Xuan ”” So, how should I answer?
Ji Yan's figure slowly appeared in Ji Xuan's mind. At this moment, for the first time in 29 years, he realized that his younger brother was still useful.
When they arrived at the game, Zhang Bingyu and Zhang Tianyu happened to report from the staff. Today's Zhang Bingyu wore a navy blue dress, and went in with the entry certificate.
Xiao Yu and Ji Xuan also reported in the past that the staff gave Xiao Yu a competition certificate saying, ”Turn left ahead, and the staff will take you to your position after entering. All participants must memorize the score, and the judges have the right to terminate the playing process. Play, but it will not affect the score. You are in the professional group, right”
Xiao Yu nodded, and the person continued, ”There are only 8 pieces for selection in the finals. This has been notified before. You cannot play on the field other than those given by the competition group, otherwise it will be waived. You have participated in other groups. Game?”
Xiao Yu shook his head, and the man continued to say, ”If there is none, please register here clearly, and we can make proper arrangements. Is this person accompanying you?”
Xiao Yu nodded, and the staff said to Ji Xuan, ”No audio and video recordings are allowed in the competition. The copyright of all recordings belongs to the organizing committee. If you want to take pictures, please turn off the flash. Please turn off your mobile phones and don’t make noise. When the contestants are playing, No entry or exit is allowed.”
Ji Xu nodded, and the staff also gave Ji Xu a pass to accompany his family.
Both of them brought their certificates, and proceeded straight ahead and turned left as the staff said. As expected, a staff member was there to receive them at the door. After reading Xiao Yu's information, he took Xiao Yu to her place.
Because the seats were arranged this time, Xiao Yu did not sit with Zhang Bingyu. Zhang Bingyu stretched out his hand to say hello when Xiao Yu came in.
The players are in the first few rows, and their families are in the back, so they can choose their own positions. Ji Xuan chose a vacant seat closer to Xiao Yu, then took out his phone and turned off the sound.
Xiao Yu looked around and unexpectedly saw Xie Haiyun and Fuhui sitting behind.
Fuhui nodded to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also nodded. Xie Haiyun was sitting in a seat three places away from him, and when she saw Xiao Yu looking over, she rolled her eyes and ignored it.
The host said that by drawing lots, Xiao Yu went up to draw 18, which was quite depressed for a while.
A total of 20 people will participate in the finals this time, and the organizing committee will let each contestant play a concerto. Thereby, the champion, runner-up, third runner-up and 46 were selected, and the rest are all outstanding awards.
Zhang Bingyu drew 6th and Xie Haiyun was 13th. The 8 concertos of the competition included Liszt’s E flat major, Tchaikovsky’s B flat minor, Grieg’s A minor, Mozart C major, Beethoven C major, Mendelssohn G minor, Chopin, And the Yellow River Piano Concerto.
Because the final competition was a concerto, in addition to the piano, there was also a band on stage. The 20 people who can stay from all over the country are naturally among the dragons and phoenixes.
There were a few people who knew Xiao Yu, and they were surprised to see her.
”I remember you haven't played for a long time.” The person who said this was called Cheng Jiayi, who was two years younger than Xiao Yu and was considered a veteran of the piano. Often participates in some big competitions, the results are also good, but it is impossible to sign.
Xiao Yu remembered her, and said, ”I have practiced again in the past two years, and I think it's okay.”
Cheng Jiayi raised her eyebrows and did not say anything about her previous technical horror, but she said, ”Then you did improve a lot, and you were able to reach the final at the Omi Music Competition. I still remember that you could not pass the Wheeler Piano Competition last year. The audition, did you worship any master?”
Xiao Yu smiled, ”Practice harder.”
Cheng Jiayi nodded and stopped talking. She was not familiar with Xiao Yu, although she was from the same school.
The people around Cheng Jiayi listened to them and asked her in a low voice ”Do you know that woman”
Cheng Jiayi was in other stadiums before, and she hadn't seen this one next to her before. It should have been in other stadiums.
As a result, the person said, ”I and Xiao Yu are on the same court. She plays the piano very distinctively and has a very strong personal style. Do you know how many years she has been studying?”
Cheng Jiayi frowned and said, ”She has been learning for a long time. I talked to her when I was on the field with her a few years ago. However, she played very mediocre and failed several exams, which made the professor angry. Later, I heard that she did not go to school, and then I saw her twice. She was not as good as when she was in school. I heard that there were two games without money and she was disqualified.”
The people around Cheng Jiayi didn't expect it to be so wonderful, and she wowed, and then thought about it, ”No, it's like this. The dress on her looks very expensive, it doesn't look like she has no money.”
Cheng Jiayi frowned and looked at it. Because the doors and windows inside were closed and the lights were not very bright, Cheng Jiayi could not see clearly, and said, ”It should be an imitation. The watch in her hand is the same model as my cousin, only 3000 many.”
The man was shocked, looked at Cheng Jiayi, and silently shut up, but in his heart he thought that more than 3,000 is a lot, and a broken watch actually costs more than 3,000.
The rankings are ready, one by one up to perform. Xiao Yu chose Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and only a few of the 20 people chose this piece.
Cheng Jiayi is on the 7th, she is the second to play Chopin's first piano concerto, and her introduction makes the symphony more intense. At the beginning and the end of the introduction, the passage that brings the piano into, she handles more clearly and more vigorously. Her piano sound is very gorgeous, she doesn't care to vent her pride, but it still makes the audience feel lack of grace and wisdom.
Xie Haiyun was the fourth to play Chopin, and she made rapid progress under Fuhui's hands. Her melody at the beginning is beautiful, and her pure classical minor theme is exceptionally fresh. Xie Haiyun’s piano has a soft and deep charm. Fuhui probably explained to her very detailedly. In Xie Haiyun’s piano, he experienced the elegance and aristocratic appearance of the young Chopin. It was an unknown poet-like heart and depressed. Passion.
Xiao Yu looked at Fuhui, who seemed very satisfied, and looked at Xie Haiyun on the stage and nodded.
After Xie Haiyun's performance was over, the judges applauded first, and Xiao Yu even heard some judges say ”This should be the best.”
”Yes, for so many years, I rarely hear Chopin's first piano piece that suits my heart.”
When Xie Haiyun came down, she smiled provocatively at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu smiled back, and Xie Haiyun frowned unhappily.
The sky outside was slowly getting dark, and it was 6 o'clock when it was Xiao Yu's turn, and everyone was a little hungry. At this time, it is very unfair to the players behind, because the judges are also tired and tired. The performance is easier to be stopped, and it is less likely to impress the judges.
Especially when there are various versions, even excellent versions, playing the same version of piano music seems even more disadvantageous.
Zhang Bingyu and the people around her changed positions, and she asked Xiao Yu, ”Do you want to consider changing piano music?”
Xiao Yu shook his head, ”I will be the next one. Both the orchestra and I have already agreed on the track and stated our own requirements. Now it is too late to change. Besides, I only practiced this piece.”
Zhang Bingyu said straight, ”It's not worthwhile, Chopin already has 5 people playing, plus you are the sixth.”
Xiao Yu smiled and said, ”It's okay, after all, Chopin's position in the piano world is special, let alone the special position of this piece.”
Zhang Bingyu twisted her and said, ”Now that you are still laughing, you are the sixth, do you know what the sixth means? The judges have listened to Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 five times, and the one in front of you was called after only 13 minutes of performance Stopped.”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, ”But even if it wasn't Chopin, many people were stopped later, right”
Zhang Bingyu nodded, ”This is because the judges are tired, and the more you need them later, the more you need ability.”
Xiao Yu smiled and stared at her, ”Your ability is not weak.”
Zhang Bingyu smiled and said ”I am not a house”
Xiao Yu sighed and looked at the players on the stage and said, ”You are a talent, a very good talent.”
”You can't compare with Sister Xiao” Zhang Bingyu said, she really thinks Xiao Yu can play very well.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said softly, ”I am different.”
”What's different”
Xiao Yu raised his hands and said, ”I'm practicing with my life” and blessed with the golden finger of 404.
The people around Xiao Yu all gave Bai Xiaoyu a depressed look, as if they weren't practicing with their lives.
A text message came from Xiao Yu's cell phone. She opened it and glanced at it. There was only one sentence, ”I am waiting for you in the audience.” The sender Ji Xuan.
