pianist from the sea

Chapter 138 Where Are My Grades?
As Jacek said, after the Fu Diao performance in the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition, there was really not much to watch on the first day. In the face-to-face confrontation with Zhao Chengzhen, there was almost no room for resistance, and the performance could only be said...no surprises.

It's not because they are not strong, nor is it because their interpretation of Chopin is not in place, but because the players in front of them are too strong, which makes them have almost no room for resistance.

Just like the college entrance examination, if you get the city champion in your city, it just means that you are qualified to compete for the title of provincial champion, but it does not mean that you can win the provincial champion.

Kobayashi Aishi and the others just got the qualifications. No matter how powerful they are in their own country and how strong their country’s music level is, if they really fall into the competition, they may not be able to win the title of champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

And when Hamelin played on the second day, it showed this point even more.

Compared with the battle between Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen on the first day, the battle on the second day was even more fierce, because the gap between the four of them that day was much smaller than the difference between Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen and the other two. .

Kate Liu and Eric Lu almost killed each other, it is difficult to tell the difference.

After Eric Lu realized the gap between himself and Kate Liu in the third round, and now that he has entered the finals, he has no way to continue thinking about the camaraderie of the same family. Anyone among us can win The truth of the class.

It's okay to deceive fools with such words, but among those contestants who can enter the finals of the Chopin International Piano Competition, can there be such fools among them?
Obviously, totally impossible.

Although there was already a little gap between Kate Liu and Eric Lu in the third round, both of them wanted to get higher scores and enter the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition in a more advantageous state. But it was obvious that Kate Liu had the upper hand in the third round and even caught Eric Lu by surprise.

Now in the fourth round of the finals, Eric Lu has no idea about the other contestants. All he thinks about is to defeat Kate Liu in front of him, regardless of everything!
only……

All of this can only be said to be expectations. After Kate Liu’s performance, Eric Lu’s performance has been targeting Kate Liu vigorously, using a lot of negative interpretations of Kate Liu’s previous performance, but his performance level, to be honest, It is true that there is still a slight difference between Kate Liu and Kate Liu.

From the beginning when Eric Lu gave way to Kate Liu, to the mutual symbiosis in the second round, and then to the third round when Kate Liu temporarily turned against Eric Lu and cut Eric Lu. The threat can already be said to be very insignificant, or even almost non-existent. The two have gone from being friends from the same family, to being life-and-death enemies at the end, which is indeed a bit abstract.

When Fu Tiao came to the concert hall wearing a mask and a hat, he was really moved when he heard the performance of the two.

On the second day of Hamelin's performance, there was still no major problem with his performance, which was full of the romantic limit of traditional classicism. Under Hamelin's performance, he directly broke the performance of Eric Lu and Kate Liu. The predicament of cannibalism made the current situation become that he singled out Kate Liu and Eric Lu alone.

And the facts prove this point. As the third person after Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen, he is on the same level as Zhao Chengzhen. Rick Lu.

After Eric Lu came and went from the stage, he hadn't gotten over the pain of not defeating Kate Liu, when he heard Hamelin's performance behind him, he was stunned, and then his face turned pale.

He almost forgot that his main opponent is not his seniors, but Hamelin who is always behind him, currently No.3 in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Hamelin's performance directly shattered all his images of Chopin's First Piano Concerto, making the concert hall completely his territory the moment his piano sound came out.

This feeling made Eric Lu feel a trace of anger, but he was powerless.

What can he do?

He had been targeting Kate Liu before, but Kate Liu failed to target him, and he was crushed by Hamelin behind him, which almost didn't break his mentality.

But fortunately, as a player who often participates in competitions, he knows that it is useless to be anxious now. Instead of continuing to be incompetent and furious in this place, he should relax and think about what to do next.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is over, and the judges don't just look at the final results to determine the winner, but have a general idea in the first three rounds, and just demonstrate it in the final.

So no matter what, my grades have been set, and it's time to think about which school I should go to.

Anyway, it must be digested in the beautiful country, so it must be the kind of fusion school that goes to the beautiful country. The most important thing is which teacher to learn from, this is the key.

Eric Lu looked at everything in front of him, finally sighed helplessly, gave up struggling and walked down the stage.

And Hamelin, who is on the stage at this moment, is fully releasing his thoughts on softness in music. In a state where there is no opponent before and after, his level of strength is almost brought to the extreme.

but.

When his last note fell, he looked at the cheering crowd off the stage, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

His family name is Richard, and his initials are R. He kind of hopes that his surname can be forwarded a little bit, and he doesn't need to rely too much on it. He can use his own Hamelin. In this way, he might be able to tune in with Fu. Zhao Chengzhen confronted each other head-on.

It's not that he dominates all day by himself, while Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen fight to the death.

There is no direct confrontation, no positive pressure, and he has always been fighting against himself in his own heart. This feeling is really uncomfortable, and it is difficult for him to reach his limit.

The highest level he can show is the level that he can only force out after trying his best to force himself in the third round.

Now it's the fourth round of the final round, and I haven't met those two people at all. Compared with the third round, my level has dropped a bit.

It's such a pity...

Hamelin couldn't help but think so when he looked at the crowd applauding around him.

The Chopin International Piano Competition allowed him to break through to his own highest level, but never at all allowed him to explode to his full potential.

But if he is asked to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition again, he will not have the energy to aim at the top players.

The Chopin International Piano Competition is very torturous. He is not one of those players who can only enter the first round but not the second round several times. He has no need to play the competition again in order to break through.

That would be purely looking for guilt, not trying to break through.

So, for Hamelin, his Chopin International Piano Competition is over, but it's not so perfect, and the final award ceremony is waiting for it.

And with the end of Hamelin's performance, the next day was worthless.

As for the third day...

Originally, there was another player that everyone was looking forward to, Yang Yike, also known as Tony Yang. After all, he was one of the four players who entered the final with a full support rate in the third round.

But no one thought that he actually overturned his car in the final and his performance was a mess.

As Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Tiao said before, it is considered good to be able to perform normally in the finals. As for breakthroughs, there is hardly any hope.

In the final of the Chopin International Piano Competition, none of the contestants showed a breakthrough level. Fu Tiao added more details to his music based on his original basic level.

As for Zhao Chengzhen, she slightly changed her playing method to surprise everyone, that's all.

Neither of them reached a new breakthrough.

Hamelin can only barely maintain the level, as for the others...

Except for Kate Liu who stabbed Eric Lu in the back, his performance was pretty good, and the others were one by one, and one by one was worse than the other.

However, with the help of the band, for those ordinary people, what they actually hear is not so real.

In any case, after Yang Yike staggered and dropped the last note at the end of his last performance, for all the contestants, the Chopin International Piano Competition has completely ended, and the next step is to wait for the announcement of the rankings .

According to the previous statement given by the organizing committee, the final ranking of the Chopin International Piano Competition will not be allocated according to the level of Jue Yi, but will take into account all the performances in the first three rounds.

Therefore, those contestants who performed poorly in the final, although a little uneasy in their hearts, remained calm and sat quietly in the lounge of the concert hall, waiting for the final announcement of the results.

Yes, all the players are in the waiting room at this moment.

Although the rankings of the final competition were announced in a public place, not on the stage, but in the hall of the concert hall, which is where the list of the second round, the list of the third round and even the list of the finals were announced before.

However, due to the particularity of all the contestants in the finals, they were not particularly suitable to show their faces on those occasions, so the organizing committee gathered them all together and waited for the announcement of the results.

This time the ten people in the room sat differently from before. Tony Yang, Yang Yike and Eric Lu sat together. The two seemed to be looking at Kate Liu with a little hostility, as if they had something to do with her. what idea.

Kate Liu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, sitting and staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Hamelin and other European-faced people sat down casually, and did not sit together alone, as if there was no need for everyone to form an alliance because the game was over.

As for Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, they sat together, and between them was Aishi Kobayashi.

To some extent, this can also be regarded as a representative of the three major Asian countries.

Kobayashi Aishi sat between the two of them shivering, like a husky strayed into a pack of wolves, even a little bit at a loss.

Obviously, she can be regarded as the top player in Japan, and even known as the piano princess of Japan, which can represent the strongest pianist of the younger generation in Japan.

And the two people beside her obviously don't have any titles, but their strength is outrageous.

Especially that Fu Tiao with a calm face, he seemed to be sleepy and about to fall asleep, he really didn't have any titles worthy of praise, he was cleaner than Zhao Chengzhen, at least Zhao Chengzhen had a representative of the French school Characters, or successors, but Fu Diao seems to have nothing.

Being defeated by this kind of person, Kobayashi Aishi didn't know whether she was unlucky or too weak, in short, she was very helpless.

She wanted to find another seat to sit, but looking at the people around, the three students under Deng Taishan must not sit together, and the four foreigners with non-Asian faces seemed to have their own confrontation, Kobayashi Aishi was not sure who would feel better sitting next to her.

Therefore, she found helplessly that she could only sit beside Fu Tiao Zhao Chengzhen.

After all, although these two people are a bit at odds, the antagonism is not particularly serious, especially after the game, Zhao Chengzhen is like a different person, not as aggressive as before, but becomes particularly harmonious and calm, sitting on the side from time to time In a daze, I don't know what he was thinking.

Fu Tiao pinched his eyebrows and thought deeply, but also didn't know what he was thinking.

The lounge was very quiet, except for the staff who came over from time to time to ask if they needed anything, coffee or mineral water, there were not many other sounds.

Everyone is waiting for the final results of the competition, but they don't know why, they feel that they have waited for a long time, and the final results have not yet appeared, and they even start to wonder if they remember the wrong date, and the final results are not released today?
Xiaolin Aishi hesitated for a long time, then looked at Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Diao who were beside her, and whispered in embarrassment.

"That... I have a question. Do we have to wait here? Does anyone know how long we have to wait? I feel like I can go back first? Come back after the results are announced?"

"Wait, don't worry, it should be yours, and I won't run away." After the words fell, Zhao Chengzhen beside him sighed and said softly.

Xiao Lin Aishi was taken aback by Zhao Chengzhen's sudden voice, and her expression became even more awkward. She opened her mouth to relieve the awkward atmosphere, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable topic.

Can't openly discuss how to carve up Poland?
The representative player of Poland, Nehring, is still in place.

Xiaolin Aishi immediately put away her thoughts of continuing to speak, closed her mouth, and sat obediently between Fu Tiao and Zhao Chengzhen, not daring to speak.

And everyone in the room glanced at each other, and wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything, and fell silent again.

They didn't know that at this moment, the organizing committee had become a mess.

Li Diyun was the first to enter the organizing committee to wait for the results. In the beginning, when all the judges came in, they were fine. Everyone was able to communicate with each other in a friendly manner, but for some reason, the communication changed completely later, and finally became full of gunpowder. .

"No! I don't support Fu becoming the champion alone! No, no, no, you are misinterpreting my meaning. I think Fu can win the championship, but I don't think he can win the championship alone. If we only discuss the level of strength, I think he and Like Zhao, they can become tied champions, no one is strong and no one is weak, everyone is about the same."

"Double champion again? I can't support your idea. According to our previous practice, the Chopin International Piano Competition should be ready in the first and second rounds, so I think Zhao is the champion we should appoint. He The performance in the third and fourth rounds was very good, worthy of his ranking in the first and second rounds."

"So? So you think Zhao No. [-], Fu No. [-], and Hamelin No. [-]?"

"I think you can think about it more, and you don't need to make a decision so quickly!"

"Are you kidding? Tonight is the announcement of the final list. You told me not to make a quick decision?"

"I support Fu No. [-], I have to consider Zhao's ranking."

"What are you thinking about, Hamelin, Fu, and Zhao, wouldn't it be over if the three of them divided up the top three? What else should you think about?"

"No, no, you didn't understand what we were discussing, now the question is who is No.1!"

"What about the total score? Wouldn't it be fine to rank them according to the total score?"

"The problem is that they ranked No. 1 in the first and second rounds according to the total score before, but now Zhao, who was the champion in the first and second rounds, lost in the third and fourth rounds. "

"I don't think he has failed. He has shown the level he should have. It can only be said that his performance is normal, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he has failed."

"Indeed, I think Zhao is very good, why don't we vote for Zhao?"

"No, absolutely not! I am firmly against it. I think Fu is better than Zhao!"

"Let's vote, vote directly for the first and second."

"There is no voting in the fourth round, and we have done it before. We have not reached a conclusion, and the approval ratings of the players are almost the same!"

"So you still have to listen to me, just do as I say, we will directly assign Fu Diao and Zhao Chengzhen, both of whom are number one! Raise your hand if you agree!"

"be opposed to!"

"I'm against it too."

"Come on, like a specific charter, I don't want to continue discussing."

"But we are the judges, we must decide on a suitable candidate!"

"..."

There were endless discussions among the crowd. After Li Diyun chatted with everyone, he kept listening to other people's speeches, thinking about whether their speeches were correct or not.

When everyone was a little tired from discussing and started drinking water to discuss the second round, Li Diyun suddenly raised his hand and spoke to everyone.

"I have an idea."
