Chapter 108 The Peak Trio
Charles Richard Hamelin.

His surname is Richard, so he is in the R group, but normally, everyone will call him Hamelin.

If you don't know him, in fact, just a little reminder, many people should know who he is.

Among the top three players in the first round, the second ranked player exists.

In the second round of the competition, after Zhao Chengzhen, who was the first, and Fu Diao, who was the third, also broke out, Hamelin did not show any fear, but also chose to show all his strength, facing Fu Diao Charge with Zhao Chengzhen.

Everyone is in the top three in the first round. The gap between the other players is so high. You two suddenly broke out. If I don't break out in second place, do I look down on you?

No matter what everyone thinks, Hamelin also chose to explode in the second round, trying to fight against Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen.

Although neither Fu Tiao nor Zhao Chengzhen went, He Shen did.

He sat on the side of the jury, looked at Hamelin in front of him, and couldn't help stroking the beard on his chin, with an extremely serious expression on his face.

He never thought that Hamelin also possessed such a strong strength.

Unlike He Shen's extreme self and Zhao Chengzhen's extreme Chopin, Hamelin's music is actually extremely gentle.

He is a little bit like the upgraded version of Xu Zi, Yu Tianyou and others, or the Pro, Max, Ultar, Enhanced, Upgraded, Business, Ultimate version.

The extreme tenderness in his music is very similar to Chopin, but it is not like Chopin himself.

He is a bit between Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen.

In Fu Tiao's music, Chopin is just an ordinary shell, and he wants to use the shell of Chopin to tell his own story well.

In Zhao Chengzhen's music, he has nothing, he is a mirror, reflecting Chopin, and the Chopin heard by everyone is only Chopin, without his own existence at all.

But Hamelin's music is different, he himself plays like Chopin, and what he expresses is his own music.

This is actually a bit of a trick, he is more to show the commonalities between himself and Chopin, and then use these commonalities to create a Chopin who is very similar to him, with endless tenderness.

In this feeling, you say that he is all like Chopin, right?He also has his own music in it.

But you said he was all like himself, right?He is not a complete self, he also has a lot of Chopin.

This kind of performance is extremely flattering, allowing all the judges to give a relatively fair score, even those extreme judges, they will not give super low scores.

The judges are not offended. It sounds like this is the right way to get higher scores in the Chopin International Piano Competition, but in fact this method of playing is extremely challenging, and many players play very similarly.

For example, Yu Tianyou, his playing is actually very similar to Hamelin, and his personality is also very similar to Hamelin. They will choose the part of their personality that is most similar to Chopin to enlarge, and then interpret it.

And at this time, it is more similar and more perfect than who plays.

Hamelin proved this with his own strength, that is, he is the one in this game, he is the one who is most similar to Chopin, and his music is also the one with the most gentleness.

After all, no matter how much Chopin is concerned about the country and the people, no matter how much he is a national fighter, there is always a touch of gentleness in his music that cannot be dispelled.

In the words of China, it is...

Why does he often have tears in his eyes, because he loves this land deeply.

This kind of tenderness allowed Hamelin to successfully demonstrate an extremely strong competitiveness in the second round of the competition.

This kind of competitiveness made other contestants, just like those behind Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen on the first day, a little bit lose the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

Hamelin is worthy of the second place in the first round.

He proved to everyone that he deserves this grade!

And he will also get the same result in the second round and keep up with the pace of the big team.

So far, the Big Three of the 2015 Chopin International Piano Competition has officially appeared, representing the three directions of the Chopin International Piano Competition and the three preferences of the judges.

The ultimate Chopin.

The ultimate self.

as well as……

Extreme tenderness.

Under Hamelin's threat, the remaining players on the third day lost the will to continue fighting.

On the fourth day, some contestants showed embarrassment, and the effect of their performance was so poor that they didn't expect it.

The fourth day can be called Hua Guo Day.

Wang Chao's surname is W, and he successfully won the first place on the fourth day. He was not only influenced by Hamelin yesterday, but also the first place. His performance was not very satisfactory, even At the end of the performance, his face was not particularly pretty.

Aside from the Polish player in the middle, Xu Zi, as the third player to play, used his strength to prove his gold content in China.

You must know that before Fu Tiao, almost everyone regarded Xu Zi as the most promising player in Huaguo this year.

After Fu Tiao came out, he was forced to give up this position and became a substitute for the final.

He played very well in the second round, and seemed to borrow a little bit of Hamelin's playing method to complete his music.

Not to mention the strongest, but at least the judges around him are quite satisfied with him.

Yu Tianyou appeared in the fourth place on the fourth day. He really worked very hard to make his music level as perfect as possible and make his music more moving, especially so that the judges could clearly hear him The difference from the first round.

But sometimes...strength is strength, talent is talent, it is impossible to say that because of your hard work, God will definitely give you enough rewards.

You see so many code farmers who worked hard to earn money for the company, didn't they work hard, and then they were fired when they were in their 40s, and they could only get pensions at the age of 65?

So He Shen, who was sitting at the back, had worked very hard to cheer Yu Tianyou in his heart, and he could clearly hear that Yu Tianyou probably had no chance today.

After all, Xu Zi in front of him is too strong, and Yang Yike, the Kama University player behind him, is also the same.

It is impossible for some of the judges to take advantage of his combined results of the two rounds.

In the first round, there might have been one or two judges who wanted to give him another chance to see if he still had room for improvement.

Now it's the second round, he has indeed improved, but the problem is...

Xu Zi in front of him has improved even more!
If he didn't guess wrong, Yang Yike's progress behind him was also greater than him.

Even if he works hard, the gap between him and those who are truly talented will only get further and further away.

At the beginning, He Shen still had a little expectation for Yu Tianyou, and wanted to see how Yang Yike's level would improve. After all, it hadn't come out yet, it was just a prediction, and there must be a little dream.

It turned out to be a pity, when Yang Yike came out, his music obviously improved rapidly.

He absorbed the excellent points of other players, while making his music more perfect, he also made some of his weaknesses disappear.

Although his level is a little lower than those of the three great devil kings, his music is still considered to be a very perfect type among others.

There is not much difference from the finalists that everyone expected before.

Yu Tianyou walked out of the backstage of the contestants with a face full of helplessness, and returned to the concert hall. He waited until the last contestant finished, but he didn't recover.

There is really no way, the strength gap is too big, and they can't beat those people at all.

The first contestant in the evening, Anne Zhou, was a very young student who also studied with Deng Taishan. After she came out, there was no accident, and she still showed the unparalleled stage dominance that belonged exclusively to Deng Taishan's students. When playing, he directly broke the curse that the first player was prone to problems, and taught the other first players a lesson.

And when the last contestant finished playing and all the judges brought their transcripts into the backstage of the judges, preparing to pass the list for the second round, Yu Tianyou looked at He Shen bitterly and shrugged helplessly.

"Well, there is not one big guy behind me, but two full big guys. Teacher He, I feel like I'm done for, what should I do! Teacher He, help me! Give me a chance!"

"It's hopeless, wait for death, and leave!"

Without any hesitation, He Shen took two steps back and waved his hand to refuse.

Seeing He Shen being so unfeeling, Yu Tianyou felt even more uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to sigh, and followed He Shen's pace towards the concert hall.

Because there were only three people in this group on the fourth day of the second round of the competition, the competition started after [-] o'clock, but in fact the competition was almost over after [-] o'clock, and the previous results have been placed on the organizing committee, so the group The committee informed that the results of the second round of the Chopin International Piano Competition will be announced around [-]:[-] tonight.

Let everyone die happily.

Of course, the original words must not be like this. After all, the organizing committee must be a little more tactful, and can't say it so blatantly.

But that's probably what it means.

Therefore, all the contestants, members of the contestants' logistics team, have already come to the downstairs of the Chopin Concert Hall, chatting casually.

They all carry a thick manual in their hands, which records some important information of the Chopin International Piano Competition and the general background of other contestants, so many people can be seen writing and drawing on it, predicting own score.

When Yu Tianyou and He Shen arrived at the concert hall, Fu Tiao was already waiting there.

He just stood in the corner of the concert hall, leaning against the wall, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Yu Tianyou and He Shen walked up to him and patted his shoulder, he raised his head to look at them and nodded slightly.

"coming?"

"Well, here we come."

He Shen walked to Fu Tiao's side and looked at the people in the concert hall.

Still according to nationality, people from all countries stand with people from all countries.

Each country seems to have its own coterie.

For example, there are only three people in Fu Diao's small circle, while Xu Zi and the others have their own circle.

Only Deng Taishan's students are from several countries, but they also form a small circle.

Kate Liu, Eric Lu, Yang Yike (Tony Yang), Anne Zhou.

The four of them stood together, discussing the game casually.

Even if there is no contempt for other players in their expressions, you can still feel their superiority over other players from their state of not entering.

After all... They are the students of the judges in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Deng Taishan's teaching for them is not simply to let them all come out of the same mold, but to let them move forward in their own directions, and each has his own style.

Are you all idiots? If the contestant really came out of the same mold, the audience may not have noticed it yet, and the judges will definitely find it out first, and then give a very low evaluation.

After all... even Zhao Chengzhen, his extremely pure Chopin is also his own unique style, that kind of purity like a diamond crystal.

Hamelin originally wanted to be with other Canadian players, but unfortunately, many Canadian players communicate with people from the beautiful country, so he can only mix with the people of the beautiful country.

but……

Seeing how he laughed and chatted among the crowd, it was obvious that he was not isolated, but shortly after entering, he became the core of everyone's chat and was praised by everyone.

While Fu Tiao and the others were observing the other people around, Xu Zi walked over with Kong Qi and the others, and nodded slightly at Fu Tiao.

"Fu Tiao, you are here, we have been looking for you just now."

Wang Chaozhang and Zhangzhang also nodded, and followed closely behind Xu Zi.

They played six players that day, five of whom were Chinese.

Although two of them are Canadian citizens, their appearance is still very Chinese.

And with five Chinese crowding together, no matter who they are, they will find it difficult.

No jury allowed five people of the same race to get together and still make it to the next round.

Therefore, among the five of them, there will inevitably be a few of them.

Yang Yike is actually the most stable, and his level is also the highest. It is not a big problem to enter the final round of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

As for the rest of the people, only Xu Zi barely had a bit of fun.

Wang Chao's charter is obviously a bit difficult.

As for the Kong Qi who wants to turn his music into air...

He hasn't come yet, probably because he clearly felt that Aimi Kobayashi in front of him was too strong during the performance, and he had no hope of advancing, so he didn't have the desire to come.

Of course, it is also possible that it is just because of being late.

Everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find Kong Qi's shadow, so they had to give up for the time being.

Looking at the crowd, Yu Tianyou suddenly asked curiously.

"By the way... where's Li Diyun? Where did he go?"

Wang Chao immediately said: "It seems that he has something to do when he returns to China? A few days ago, I saw that many domestic commentators were scolding him, saying that he finally got a spot as a judge, but he didn't cherish it and went back to China to fool around. "

"Ah? Then, can anyone of us know the results of the third round of the Chopin International Piano Competition in advance? It's not just about whether we can advance, right?"

"If Li Diyun never comes back, it should be like this... But there should be other channels? After all, not everyone from any family has a relationship with the judging panel, but I think many people know about Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin The three won the top three in the first round, and the difference in points is not too big."

"That's it..." Yu Tianyou thought for a while, and couldn't help but look at He Shen: "Teacher He, is there something to do with you?"

He Shen didn't have any hidden thoughts, and said bluntly: "Yes! But I have no way to know in advance, those judges are now deciding on the promotion list, and the mobile phone is confiscated. I can only wait for the announcement. Go back and find the judge to ask for the specific results."

"All right……"

Yu Tianyou sighed, lying on the high table boredly, scanning the concert hall.

Fu Tiao was still in a daze, thinking about his own music, without saying a word, even though this small group in Huaguo had a faint tendency to center on him, but he felt a little bit of a ghost.

Time passed by every minute, and the time for the announcement of the results was getting closer and closer, and more and more people entered the hall of the concert hall.

There was a commotion on Dongying's side. A fat and kind man with braids came over from outside the concert hall. When he came over, he hugged Kobayashi Aishi and directly took away the small group from Dongying's side. central location.

Fu Tiao's eyes could not help but drift to that side. That person was the contestant he had just met when he first came to Warsaw.

Seeing He Shen's gaze fluctuating, Xu Zi immediately looked towards Dongying in the same way. When he saw the player who had just entered, he took another look at He Shen, suddenly realized, and immediately opened his mouth to introduce.

"The person who is coming in now is called Tanda Kyohei. He is one of the leading figures in Dongying, and one of the strongest young players in Dongying. It is said that he and Kobayashi Aishi are childhood sweethearts, but they don't know about them. Is it getting better?"

"Well, I know, I know him, I met him when I just came to Warsaw." Fu Diao nodded slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing: "I remember that he brought a rice cooker and said he was going to cook, but he was caught by the customs. I thought it was a prohibited item and checked it for a long time."

"Haha, rice cookers are really rare in foreign countries."

Everyone immediately smiled knowingly, and some of them were also checked for rice cookers.

I don't know why, but people in Asia are more likely to be checked for carrying rice cookers.

The time was getting closer and closer to eight o'clock. Zhao Chengzhen walked in at the last moment. As soon as he came in, he was welcomed by the players from South Korea. They immediately surrounded him and greeted him.

On the other hand, Zhao Chengzhen smiled shyly at the crowd, and after responding one by one, turned his gaze to the spiral stairs on the side of the hall of the concert hall.

Not only him, everyone in the hall put their eyes on the stairs.

Because over there, a whole bunch of crew members with cameras are slowly backing up and down the stairs.

In front of their cameras, three hostesses in tuxedos walked down the stairs slowly, holding a letter with the logo of the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition in their hands.

The three of them stood in the middle of the stairs where the microphones were placed, and behind them was the advertising background wall of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Among the three, the man with the baldest head and the smoothest expression came out, took the letter in his hand, opened it with a smile, looked at the list on it, and read slowly.

"Next, the Chopin International Piano Competition, the list of third-round contestants will be announced!"

　Sleep with your eyes closed~ Try to save more manuscripts in these two days, otherwise March will be sad.
