This star is wrong

Chapter 183 Paganini International Violin Competition, kick off

Seeing so many people walking together, Mother Lu was a little surprised: "Xiao Xiang, what's going on?"

"The school's No. [-] Symphony Orchestra is going to accompany me in the arena." Lu Xianger replied with a proud face.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you said it's inconvenient to go with Chen Wenhan. So there are so many classmates going together." Sitting in the waiting hall, Lu's mother looked at the people who were more than 100, and even felt flattered for her daughter. .

Fang Xing was wearing a mask and hat, and sat next to Lu Xianger.

I did not bring my agent or assistant with me on this trip, but only a carry-on suitcase, traveling lightly.

Mother Lu noticed Fang Xing.

After all, a boy sits next to his daughter, wears a hat and a mask all the time, and talks to his daughter from time to time. As a mother, it is impossible not to notice it.

Mother Lu pulled her daughter's arm and asked in a low voice, "Is this also a student from your school?"

"Uh, yes..."

Lu Xianger's tone was not so sure. Although Fang Xing was indeed a student of Dongyin, he had already graduated.

Fang Xing heard the murmurs of the mother and daughter, took off his mask and hat, and said hello, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Dongyin's vocal major."

When Mother Lu saw Fang Xing, her expression froze.

Because she felt that Fang Xing looked familiar, very familiar.

She doesn't usually watch talent shows, but her daughter has been on "Singing Voice". Although there are only half-second shots that are swept away, as a mother, she must watch it again and again.

And in the "Song of Songs" competition, Lu Xianger accompanied Fang Xing and sang "Qilixiang".

Lu's mother has watched that episode many times, so naturally the other party wakes up very familiar.

"Yeah... I think you look a lot like..." Mother Lu couldn't call out her name again.

"My name is Fang Xing." Fang Xing took the initiative to answer.

"Is that singer on TV you?" Mother Lu asked.

Lu Xianger knew what her mother meant by "on TV", and also knew that her mother had watched the second issue of "The Voice of Songs" many times, so she quickly interjected:

"Yes, he is the singer on TV, our symphony orchestra has accompanied him."

Mother Lu nodded slowly, and then asked doubtfully, "Then this time?"

She couldn't think of the use of going to Genoa for a singer.

Fang Xing explained: "Um, I play the piano, this time I will accompany Xiang'er."

When Mother Lu heard the name "Xiang'er", she felt a little too close, and this name was inappropriate.

Lu Xiang'er frowned quickly, turned her back to her mother, and winked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing added: "She helped me with the accompaniment before, this time it's my turn to return the favor."

Lu's mother had new doubts: "But you said just now that you majored in vocal music?"

Lu Xianger felt that if she continued to question like this, her household registration would be found out by her mother, so she quickly interjected: "Mom, his piano level is not comparable to Dongyin's piano major. You might as well worry about my daughter and me."

Only then did Mother Lu nodded and smiled, "So that's the case."

After boarding the plane, Lu's mother's gossip began to erupt. Even though Lu Xiang'er was separated from the seat, she still had various questions to ask:
"Are you a star now?"

"It's still just a singer."

"No wonder I kept wearing a mask when boarding the plane."

Mother Lu saw that Fang Xing didn't bring a manager, assistant, or makeup artist, so she subconsciously thought that Fang Xing was among the stars, the ones who were not very famous.

The reason for this misunderstanding is that Mother Lu rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry.

If it was a TV actor, she might still know him.

The singer, also has the impression of the old singer before.

If Lu Xianger hadn't participated in "The Voice of Songs", and Fang Xing was the accompanist in that episode, Mother Lu wouldn't even recognize Fang Xing.

After all, Fang Xing has never received notifications, nor has he ever acted in a play.

He has only been on two programs, "Rising Star" and "Song".

Older viewers who didn't watch these two programs basically didn't know who Fang Xing belonged to.

This is a manifestation of the lack of citizenship.

This Paganini rematch is very important to Lu Xianger.

As a mother, it is natural to pay special attention to it.

Lu's mother continued to ask: "Is your piano really okay? When the time comes, don't hold Xiaoxiang back."

Fang Xing nodded patiently and agreed, "Okay, I will try my best."

Lu Xianger clutched her forehead helplessly, took out her mobile phone, found out the video of Fang Xing playing and singing "Nocturne" on "Star of Tomorrow", and stuffed it into her mother's hand: "Look for yourself, don't ask any more questions."

Lu's mother watched the video seriously, and felt okay after watching it, she nodded and praised: "It's really not bad. This song is also a bit familiar, Xiaoxiang, did you always play this song before?"

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly took back her phone, shook her head and argued, "There's no boss, you remember wrong."

……

Italy, Genoa Grand Theater.

Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock.

The rematch of the Paganini International Violin Competition is about to begin.

The contestants have already waited in the backstage of the Grand Theater.

Spectators enter the arena one after another through the gate.

As a family member of a player, Mother Lu must have come to watch her daughter compete.

Similarly, Chen Wenhan's mother also appeared at the entrance of the Grand Theater.

After Lu's mother saw Chen's mother, she smiled and said hello: "Mrs. Chen, it's so early."

When Mother Chen saw Mother Lu appear, she also smiled and went to hold hands: "We agreed to come together before, but you changed your mind again."

Mother Lu quickly apologized and said: "I'm really sorry, there are a lot of people traveling with me this time, and it's really troublesome to be busy, it's really inconvenient."

Chen's mother smiled heartily: "There's nothing to apologize for. Let's go, let's sit together today and watch the children's competition. Wenhan has been preparing for today's competition for more than half a year."

"it is good."

The two mothers held hands, like good sisters who had known each other for many years, and took their seats in the Grand Theater together.

This time, besides Chen's mother, Chen Wenhan was accompanied by several elders of the Chen family.

After taking their seats, they began to talk endlessly.

"Mrs. Lu, you know that, right? The Paganini competition doesn't guarantee that there will be a champion." Mother Chen took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Since her daughter entered the Paganini rematch, Mother Lu naturally knew the rules of this competition, she nodded and replied: "Of course I know, I heard that there has been no champion for three consecutive times."

"That's right, there has been no champion for three times. Wenhan is very promising this year." Mother Chen's face was full of confidence.

The Paganini International Violin Competition is held every two years.

There has been no championship for three consecutive years, which means that there has been no championship for six years.

This is the rule of the Paganini International Violin Competition, where the performances of the players are scored by seven judges.

The full score is 100 points, seven judges score, remove the highest score, remove the lowest score, and take the average of the remaining scores, which is the final score of the contestants.

At that time, the player with the highest score was not the one who won the championship.

One of the reasons why the Paganini International Violin Competition has high gold content is that it is not enough to score first in the competition, and it is necessary to reach the scoring line of the champion in order to win the championship.

If in a certain session, no player's score reaches the championship score line, then the champion of this session will be vacant.

So far this year, the champion of the Paganini International Violin Competition has been vacant for three times.

The Chen family's expectation for Chen Wenhan is to let him become the champion of this Paganini International Violin Competition.

Take down the highest honor in the violin world.

The game is about to start.

The host of the event came to the stage, announced the rules and precautions of the game, and then began to arrange players to play.

The order of appearance in the game is determined by drawing lots.

There are a total of ten players in this game.

Lu Xianger got the number three, and suddenly became nervous.

She returned to Fang Xing with the number, and took deep breaths nervously: "It's over, I'm the sixth to appear, and the one ahead of me is Patrick Pete, I feel like I'm going to be finished."

Patrick Pater was No.1 with Lu Xianger in the preliminary round.

"Don't be nervous, we are here to present a masterpiece handed down to this world, the competition is not important." Fang Xing comforted with a smile.

"You say that, I'm more nervous, isn't this more difficult than the competition?" Lu Xianger's face drooped.

"Don't worry, it's better to be moderately nervous." Fang Xing continued to comfort her.

"But I feel that I'm already out of shape." Lu Xiang'er asked for comfort.

The game started in a tense mood.

The first player to play was a blond female violinist who played Beethoven's Ninth Violin Sonata.

After the performance, the judges began to score, removing the highest score and the lowest score, and finally scored 87.73 points.

Each player participates in the game.

When the third player came out, it was Chen Wenhan.

in the audience.

Mother Chen excitedly held Mother Lu's hand, and said, "Wen Han is on the stage, whether he can win the championship or not depends on his performance."

Now Lu Xiang'er hasn't appeared yet, so Lu's mother is still very relaxed, and said: "Mrs. Chen, don't worry, Wen Han's level is so high, there must be no problem."

"That's true, Wenhan will be fine." Chen's mother was very confident about this.

Chen Wenhan played Paganini Violin Concerto No. [-] in B minor, and his performance was very strong.

The audience can tell that Chen Wenhan's rating is definitely not low.

After listening to the performance, Chen's mother clenched her fists: "It's very good, it's perfect, it should be there."

From a technical point of view, Chen's mother can be sure that her son's performance has no technical problems, and he played the piece perfectly.

Of course, the violin competition is not just a competition of skills, but also things beyond technology.

If it is only compared to technology, then the timbre synthesized by computer is the most perfect without any flaws.

However, something above technology is called art.

If there is anything human beings cannot be eliminated in the face of technology, it is art.

Of course, art is an illusory thing, and it is difficult to explain clearly.

And the competition uses people as judges, and what it pursues is this kind of illusory standard.

After Chen Wenhan finished playing, the seven judges began to score.

After waiting for 5 minutes, the final score will be announced on the spot.

Chen Wenhan finally ranked first in the field with 94.60 points.

When Mother Lu heard the score, she immediately congratulated and said, "Wen Han is really good, and he is currently number one in this game."

The smile on Mother Chen's face disappeared.

The score of 94.60 is indeed not low, and there is even hope of winning No.1 in this competition.

However, this score did not reach the scoring line for the Gold Award, which is the so-called champion score line.

In other words, if none of the players behind can score more than Chen Wenhan.

Then the champion of this year's Paganini International Violin Competition is vacant again.

Although he can't win the championship, but the scores of the previous players are not high, Chen Wenhan still has a great hope of winning No.1 in this session.

Anyway, there has been no champion for three consecutive years, and it is not surprising that the champion will be vacant for one more time.
