pianist from the sea

Chapter 140 Champion
"No.6, Russia, Dmitry Shishkin!"

Applause erupted in the concert hall instantly.

Russian player Dmitry jumped out from the crowd, his inner excitement could not be concealed, and waved vigorously to a large group of specially invited spectators behind him.

He never thought that he could get No.6. After hearing Hamelin's performance, he always felt that he might miss the competition. The high probability of winning a winning prize is almost the same. Who would have thought that he would be the No. six?
If he is sixth, Fu, Zhao, and Hamelin occupy the top three, so there are only two left in the remaining positions?

Who will these two be?

While Dmitry was excited, he looked curiously at the remaining nine people around him, especially the three students who were studying with Deng Taishan. He was very curious about who among the three would be eliminated.

Judging by the performance in the fourth final round, the one who is most likely to be eliminated... should be Yang Yike, right?

Dmitry looked at Yang Yike, but he didn't expect the eyes of the two to overlap, so he couldn't help laughing awkwardly.

It's just that he didn't expect that the others were also surprised. The No.5 player was not Kate Liu Eric Lu in their hearts, but...

"No.5, Jia Ma Da, Yi Ke (Tony) Yang!"

Everyone looked at Yang Yike beside him in astonishment, they couldn't believe that the name just pronounced was actually Yang Yike.

It's a little strange to say that No.6 is Dmitry, but it's reasonable, and No.5, Yang Yike, is a bit abnormal.

After all, Yang Yike performed too poorly in the finals, with a lot of overturned content, how could he still get No.5?

What rank is this?Why can he get No.5?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in everyone's minds, they were a little confused about the scoring criteria of the organizing committee, and wanted to question it.

But when they thought about Yang Yike's performance in the previous three rounds, their doubts dissipated a lot.

In any case, the applause that should be given still needs to be given. After Yang Yike's name was announced, everyone continued to applaud as before. Congratulations to Yang Yike for his victory.

There was no embarrassment on Yang Yike's face, he just smiled and nodded slightly with the people around him.

This is actually quite normal. He already knew his possible results when he performed poorly in the final.

From the end of the third round, when they were about to enter the fourth round of finals, the judges had already told them all about this, and said that the judges actually had a rough idea of ​​who should be given what kind of ranking.

Compared with the knockout competition, perhaps the points knockout competition should be regarded as a competition method that is more in line with the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Elimination is only the result, and points are the process. The scores he got in the previous rounds were too high. Even if the performance in the last round was not particularly good, he can still get a very good result, such as the No.5 he got now .

However, since this is just a simple small-scale award, the official award and bonus will be awarded at the winner's concert a few days later, so he only has an award certificate handed over by the staff just now.

The staff did not continue to announce the rankings, but waited until the voices of the discussion became quieter before continuing.

"The next No.4 and No.3 are Eric Lu and Kate Liu from the Beautiful Country! Eric Lu is fourth, and Kate Liu is third."

"?"

As the sound fell, countless voices burst out in the concert hall, and everyone was extremely surprised. They never thought that Kate Liu and Eric Lu could get such a result.

Tony Yang was actually very surprised to get No.5 before, but now Kate Liu Eric Lu is the most surprising.

Three of Deng Taishan's students actually made it to the finals, and even won the third, fourth, and No.5 in the finals. What is the concept of this?
A total of four people participated in the competition. Except for Anna Zhou who was eliminated with a little regret, the other three people overcame all obstacles and won the ranking.

One teacher, three winners.

Even if there are some performances in the middle that are not particularly perfect, there is no way to conceal the results they have achieved.

All the members get the rankings, which is an achievement that many instructors can't even imagine in their dreams.

Kate Liu, Eric Lu, and Tony Yang were also a little surprised at this moment. After the three of them looked at each other, although there was still a little gap, they still stretched out their hands and bumped into each other, expressing the part in their hearts Excited.

Although it's a bit regrettable that I didn't win the championship, but if you think about it carefully, it's really nothing if you don't win the championship.

After all, you are still among the young players in the world who are the best at playing Chopin. In addition, if you get the ranking, you will definitely be favored by the brokerage company, and their goals have also been achieved.

It may seem a bit vulgar to say this, and it does not match the temperament of an artist, but the main reason for everyone to participate in the competition is not to win the first place and prove that they are invincible.

Everyone knows that everyone's uniqueness in their music is the capital they rely on for survival, so failing to win the first place in the competition doesn't actually prove anything.

To be spotted by a brokerage company, and then be invested to tour the world and realize their artistic ambitions, this is what they want.

In addition, they also know that their level is far behind Hamelin, Zhao Chengzhen, and Fu Tiao, so for them, especially for Kate Liu who got third, she is even more important. for excitement.

She originally expected that she might be around fourth, but she didn't expect to be able to climb to third.

So that also means...

Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin will share the first and second positions?
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to think that some of these three people will be eliminated. They have never been lower than the top three from the beginning to the end, and the three of them even have few car rollovers. ', it is impossible for them to make the Chopin International Piano Competition into a 'performance art'.

Even if someone wants to do this, it is impossible for others to go crazy with him.

So it is a foregone conclusion that the three share the top two.

So here comes the question, the number one should not be shared, so who will get the number one?

Standing at the front of the host, he looked around at the people off the stage, smiled and dragged his voice, and spoke slowly.

"Next, I will announce the runner-up of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition. He is..."

The host paused, looked at Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, and joked.

"Fu!"

"?" Fu Tiao raised his head in a daze, looked at the host, and then at the judges behind the host, he couldn't help blinking.

Myself... the second?
It's just that he didn't expect that the host's words didn't end. After reading Fu's name, he immediately asked.

"Are you nervous?"

"I..." Fu Tiao almost didn't catch his breath. He was about to say something, but looking at the slightly complicated expressions of the other people around him, he seemed to understand something and said hesitantly.

"I... I'm not nervous."

"Haha, really? When you heard Ni's name appear in No.2 just now, didn't you feel a little bit of cardiac arrest?" The host laughed loudly, and the others also showed friendly smiles.

Fu Diao spread his hands helplessly, and made a South Korean angry gesture: "Okay, there is indeed a little bit."

"Aha, then congratulations!"

The host leaned his body to the side, revealing the staff who were preparing to present the awards, pointed to the two certificates in the hand of the graceful girl, and said: "Congratulations, don't be nervous, because the second is not you. "

"Friends, let us welcome the runner-up of the No.2015 Chopin International Piano Competition in 17! South Korea! Chengzhen, Zhao! And... Kamata! Charles Richard Hamelin!"

"Also, the champion of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition...Dior Fu!"

Whoa!
The applause sounded, and everyone was cheering for the birth of the final champion of the Chopin International Piano Competition, as well as the second runners-up of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Zhao Chengzhen's expression was rather helpless. He looked at Hamelin and Fu Tiao beside him, sighed softly, opened his hands, and said to Fu Tiao.

"Fu Tiao, congratulations, you really won the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Thank you. After all, I drink coffee according to my temperament, rather than looking for Chopin's feeling. Look, I didn't get it right, did I make a mistake?" It was the helpless Zhao Chengzhen who couldn't help joking.

Zhao Chengzhen almost didn't spit out when she heard it, but coughed twice in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "Forget it, don't talk about it, the competition is over, I am also me, not Chopin, of course, if you can still touch As for me, also remember that I might not be me at the time, but someone else, the player I am studying, so if there is any offense in the following, please forgive me."

"it is good."

Fu Tiao bent down and hugged Zhao Chengzhen, patted each other's shoulders, and then let go.

Hamelin was also beside Fu Tiao, and when Zhao Chengzhen left, he also opened his huge shoulders, hugged Fu Tiao, and said with a smile.

"Fu! Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

After the two hugged each other lightly, they immediately let go. Hamelin looked at Zhao Chengzhen beside him, raised his eyebrows, and joked with a little self-deprecation: "It is said that in the second round, I still count on You can knock Zhao down, so that I have room to play better, the more fierce you two fight, the greater my chances, I didn't expect that you beat Zhao down in the end, and I haven't had a chance to come up."

"Then you may need to work harder." Fu Tiao was equally happy and said with a smile.

"I have worked very hard. Who would have thought that you two perverts would be so strong. What do you want me to do? I am also very desperate!"

"So you need to work harder. After all, there is nothing wrong with saying that people don't work hard enough."

"Tch, I don't want to be like your Asian prodigy Lingling, who practice for forty hours a day, almost growing on a chair, and some even sleep on the piano bench. This kind of life is really too boring, I still want to Gotta be out in the sun with my little girlfriends."

Hamelin patted Fu Tiao on the shoulder, and smiled maliciously: "Fu, compared to Zhao, your music is actually more pure. I don't think you are romantic enough. You may need to find a girlfriend, no, or you don't need to." Girlfriend, if you find someone who can communicate with you physically, you might be able to make your music a little more romantic, you know, I like that kind of...romantic."

When talking about romance, he made a firework look with his hands, raised his eyebrows at Fu Tiao again, then walked to the podium, took the certificates from the staff, waved them at Fu Tiao, and then shouted Smiling and opening his hands, he walked towards his parents in the crowd, and a girl with blond hair, blue eyes, waist and round hips, full of western aesthetics, and kissed deeply.

Then he handed his award certificate to the woman, as if saying that this was a gift from him to her.

Seeing him flirting like that, Fu Tiao always felt uncomfortable. After cursing "dirty" in a low voice, he turned to look at Zhao Chengzhen beside him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengzhen turned his face away with a bad face and spoke in South Korean. Also cursed.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly realized what the other was scolding, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Fu Tiao stretched out his hand toward the stairs, and said with a smile, "Please, No.2, come to the stage to accept the award."

"You don't need to remind me, No.1."

Zhao Chengzhen waved her hands and smiled, then stepped forward, walked in front of the staff, took the certificates in their hands, said a few words, turned and walked off the stage.

And Fu Diao stepped forward after Zhao Chengzhen, and also accepted the certificate from the staff.

The host stood aside and applauded gently, smiling.

"This is a certificate for you, proving that you have won this year's No.1. The following trophy and bonus will be given to you at the awards ceremony before the winner's concert five days later. You don't have to worry too much. "

"So... this is going to be two award ceremonies?"

"No, in fact, the second award ceremony was mainly organized by the Ministry of Culture of Poland, not by us. After all, the approval of the prize money needs to go from them, as well as the production of trophies and recordings. They all need them."

The host shook his head slightly, and continued to Fu Tiao: "The following awards will be held in the Chopin Concert Hall. In addition to the trophies for each of you, there will also be awards for the best interpretation of works. After the awards are over, it will be you. Zhao Chengzhen, Hamelin's personal concert, but depending on the situation, one person may be cut off, or the duration may be cut off, which is not sure, anyway... In these last few days, enjoy your victory .

Oh no, maybe you can't rest yet, after all you still have a lot of things to do, after all, you are the champion. "

After finishing speaking, he patted Fu Diao on the shoulder, then turned around and bowed slightly to the other judges.

The atrium of the concert hall suddenly became extremely noisy. Some judges went upstairs to rest in their lounges, and some judges went down the steps to interact with other contestants.

Every contestant is surrounded by several people, and everyone is greeting them cordially and kindly.

Kindness and friendliness in the true sense, even a greeting with a hint of flattery, not Sun Bar's kind of 'kindness and friendliness'.

The same is true for Fu Tiao's side. Everyone gathered around him, congratulating Fu Tiao for winning the Chopin International Piano Competition, and enthusiastically introducing themselves and the school behind them.

Even brokerage firms.

Everyone was not particularly straightforward, but moved forward bit by bit along the topic of conversation.

Standing on the stairs, Li Diyun raised his hand and looked at Fu Tiao, who was in the crowd, was going to say something, but seeing the tight surroundings, he had no choice but to put down his hand and turned to go upstairs.

Tonight, this stage belongs to Fu Tiao, so let Fu Tiao play freely on this stage and don't bother him.

He Shen and Yu Tianyou, who were standing in the distance, also planned to squeeze forward, but found that they had no way to squeeze in, so they could only stand on the side helplessly, waiting for Fu Tiao to finish.

After all, their identities are really nothing in this place. They can only be said to be a lucky audience who was allowed to enter the small awards ceremony.

At this time, Brotz and the boss finally found out that they had chosen the same person. The two laughed at the same time, and were about to go in to find Fu Tiao to catch up on the past, but because the people around them were rushing towards Fu Tiao, they Neither of them has a particularly good body, and it is very difficult to squeeze in.

"So... how do we calculate the bet?" Brotz said helplessly.

The boss looked at the dense crowd around him, and said hesitantly: "How about... I invite you for a year, and you invite me for a year?"

"Tch, you won't invite me to drink in your bar, will you?"

"How... how? Hahaha..."

"Forget it, why don't you leave it like this, invite me today, and later I'll invite you to a bar near my house to drink. His home-brewed vodka still tastes good!"

"Success! That's fine too, let's go for a walk and drink."

The two looked at Fu Diao who was surrounded by everyone behind him, but they turned and left without disturbing in the end.

Fu Tiao was dealing with the fatigue of the people around him, he didn't know that the people he was familiar with couldn't get close to him, but just as he was reluctantly smiling and discussing music issues with the person next to him, a faint fragrance rushed towards his nose Come.

This scent is very familiar, as if where?

Just as Fu Tiao was thinking about where the perfume smell came from, a lady with the same perfect figure and a strong aristocratic temperament, wearing a white evening dress, as spotless as snowflakes, walked in front of him.

Emilia Poniatowska stopped in front of Fu Tiao with a smile, and whispered in a very seductive voice, blowing warm wind in his ear.

"Little boy~, I want to learn piano, can you come at night and teach~me?"
