Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 218 213. The Unpredictable Dust Settles

The applause in the ear is so close, yet so far away.

Ang Lee stood at the very center of the stage, but felt that he was outside the concert hall.

tried.

Also tried my best.

It's been a fun trip, hasn't it?
Yes.

There are regrets, but more gains.

Looking at the spotlight above his head, his heart was extraordinarily peaceful at this moment.

When another wave of applause came to him, Ang Lee removed his hands from the piano board, turned around and bowed to the audience on the west side.

Then he turned to the auditorium on the east side and bowed again.

"Wow——"

The applause continued.

Amid the applause, Ang Lee walked up to the principal violin and stretched out his hands.

From the co-production to the final stage, it was not just the six contestants and two conductors who worked hard in the past three days.

And every band teacher who participated in the performance.

As the last contestant on stage, he expressed his sincerest thanks to the band on behalf of the six finalists.

"Thank you, teachers."

After thanking the band, Ang Lee turned and walked straight to the podium.

Opening his arms, "Thank you, Hou Zhi."

The current situation did not allow Hou Zhentao to show too much emotion, he stepped forward to catch Li An's hug.

"I'm sorry Li An, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Li An patted the opponent's back hard and didn't say anything more. Before letting go, he looked at the music platform in front of the podium.

on the music table.

The band score of K271 is still spread out on the first page of the first movement.

Looking back, Li An pulled Hou Zhentao up, and Hou Zhentao knew it was time for the curtain call.

The two turned around and faced the auditorium for the last time, together with all the standing musicians behind them, bowed for the last time.

"Wow————————"

The audience stood up and applauded.

For the majority of music lovers, tonight is a worthwhile trip.

They witnessed the wonderful performances of six contestants on the spot.

Who said that the piano talents cultivated in our country are not good?
All we have to do is wait for the final results to be announced.

However, they are not clear at the moment, and they may not be able to wait for the result of the game tonight.
-
As soon as Li An walked out of the backstage door, he was taken to an office by the person in charge of Xinhai who had been waiting for a long time.

This caused Wu Fusheng to search around for a long time but couldn't find Li An's figure.

He guessed that Ang Lee might have been taken away by the staff.

Usually the organizers will do everything possible to minimize the adverse effects caused by such field accidents.

Referring to a similar incident in a previous international competition, the organizer fired the host who caused the accident that night.

One is to balance public opinion, and the other is to vent the anger of the players.

But this time it wasn't the host's slip of the tongue, but the conductor's negligence.

The backstage situation at that time was indeed chaotic, but this was not an excuse to excuse Hou Zhentao.

And from the moment Hou Zhentao waved his baton, this was not just an incident that only concerned Li An personally.

So next, it depends on the attitude of the organizer.

When Wu Fusheng returned to the backstage hall, several people from Zeng Mengqiu surrounded him, and he shook his head.

"wait."

Jiang Sheng suddenly asked: "Will he have a rematch?"
-
"We can arrange a replay for you."

In the office, Li An was sitting on the sofa surrounded by three people.

The on-site director of Xinhai, the program planner of the Grand Theater, and Wang Dali.

It was Xinhai's on-site person in charge who spoke, and the program planner then suggested that Ang Lee could take a day off.

Wang Dali also seemed to be anxious, but in fact, the game had nothing to do with him.

He is just a stage director, and his task is to make the game go smoothly from beginning to end in front of the camera.

Li An didn't ask him to stop and he passed the test.

And the person who caused the accident was Hou Zhentao.

Hou Zhentao was recommended by Xie Ganzheng and reviewed by the Grand Theater.

Xie Ganzheng was invited by Xinhai again.

As for the question of accountability, at the moment of the situation, there is no way to ask him.

So just now the Quartet was discussing to come up with a final solution, to give player 066 a chance to play again, and he voted for it.

Because it made sense and had nothing to do with him.

The one with the greatest pressure right now is naturally the person in charge of the Xinghai Cup scene who spoke up.

If you ask who the last person wants to give player No. 066 a chance to rematch, it must be him.

This will delay the announcement of the results of this group of competitions until tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, which will directly interfere with the progress of the subsequent finals of other groups.

But in order to restore the reputation of the New Sea Cup as much as possible, he had to propose such a plan.

Give contestant No. 66 a chance to play again, and the judges will re-mark and rank them again.

"No, thanks."

Li Ang refused very decisively. No matter how many times he played again, he would not be able to return to the emotion after performing Yun Xiang's memories, nor would he be able to return to the atmosphere of the scene.

So there is no need to take another day to do a meaningless thing.

Li An smiled: "Is there anything else for the three of you?"

After a while, the person in charge of Xinhai spoke again.
-
5 minute later.

Li An got up and left.

After he left, the three of them determined the division of labor and then left separately.

The person in charge of Xinhai went to the jury, the program planner of the Grand Theater went to Hou Zhentao, and Wang Dali went to coordinate the scene to prepare for the final award ceremony.
-
After some twists and turns, Li An finally returned to the backstage hall, and Wu Fusheng came up with a sentence: "Crazy."

Then he gave Ang Lee a hug.

The few people also calmed down while waiting. From the perspective of their players, calm down and then analyze, Li An's operation on the stage just now was purely crazy.

At first they thought that Ang Lee must have bounced the K271 completely if he didn't stop it.

But what?
After hearing it, they found out——Li Ang didn't play the K271 at all!
In the last third movement, after the opponent failed to find a way back to section A after section B, they immediately started improvising.

Such a big final arena to play Mozart improvisation!

What a big heart!

But then again, they had to be convinced.

Although Ang Lee played improvisation, he still retained the mode color and grand rondo structure of the third movement.

It is also very regular.

And the opponent played the second movement really brilliantly.

Wu Fusheng discovered that Li An has a good way of handling short sentences in the transfer process.

At this point in the conversation, the lunatic is actually more of an acknowledgment and a compliment.

Wu Fusheng wanted to say another word of concern, but due to the current environment, the words on his lips turned into a sigh.

After a while, seeing Wang Dali hurried back to the hall, Li An walked back to the line of six people, "wait for the results."

Everyone understood what he said.

Since Li An said to wait for the results, the result will definitely be born tonight.

At this moment, Yanev, who was standing on Li Ang's left, suddenly extended a thumbs up to Li Ang.

This foreign friend doesn't know what everyone has been talking about, he only knows what happened on the stage just now.

Improvisation is a great ability.

Especially in classical works.

Yanev listened to Ang Lee's third movement a little bit, like drinking sixty degrees of vodka.

10 minutes passed by in a flash.

As Zhao Weilin and Qian Zhongnan walked onto the stage, there was a commotion in the audience.

The exciting moment finally arrived.

Under the largest screen in the backstage, all the staff gathered around the six contestants, looking up at the screen

Everyone knows that the paper envelope in Zhao Weilin's hand now contains the final results of this round of finals.

Zhao Weilin handed the paper seal to Qian Zhongnan. Qian Zhongnan opened it and glanced at it, then raised his head and raised the microphone to his mouth.

"No.18, Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition, Youth Open Group, Gold Medal Winner—"

Qian Zhongnan's rhythmic speech lifted everyone's hearts high.

The silent scene suddenly burst into warm applause in the next second!
"Contestant No. 039 Wu Fusheng!"

"Wow—————————————"

There was also applause in the background.

When Wu Fusheng heard his name, he was surprised, but not surprised, or not surprised, but also quite surprised.

Being happy is naturally very happy. How can I say that the 5 yuan bonus is here.

Most importantly, his wish was fulfilled.

After eight years and four sessions, he finally re-engraved the name of Haiyuan on the top of the trophy of the highest group of Xinhai Cup.

"thanks, thanks!"

Wu Fusheng clapped his hands around to thank him, and the glasses girl answered the words and shouted: "Please treat me!"

"Please please please!"

Amidst the cheers, Li An, Jiang Sheng, Liu Chunyu and others also stepped forward to send their blessings.

Liang Chunyu clapped his hands and said congratulatory words, but his expression was somewhat disappointed, if it wasn't for that mistake.
But if there is no if, the game is like this.

He sincerely accepted this failure and waited for the next time he met Wu Fusheng on the field.

"Silver Medal Winner—"

"No. 018 contestant Liang Chunyu!"

"Wow------"

Applause again.

"Bronze Medal Winner - Contestant No. 071 Zeng Mengqiu"

"Jiang Sheng, contestant No. 054, Stanislav Yanev, contestant No. 455, and Zeng Mengqiu, contestant No. 071."

"Let us congratulate the above five winners with warm applause."

"Wow————"

Zhao Weilin took the microphone amid applause.

The list of individual award winners will then be announced.

"Xinghai Young Artist Award Winner, Wu Fusheng."

"The winner of the Best Ethnic Piano Work Performance Award, Liang Chunyu."

Paused.

"Xinhai Cup Special Prize Winner, Ang Lee."

"Wow——————————"

Most people in the audience, including those in the live broadcast room, don't know that the Xinhai Cup special award is not a consolation or encouragement award.

The award was established at the beginning of the competition, and so far only four winners have appeared.

After a lapse of five sessions, special awards appeared again in the Xinhai Cup.

Hearing that he had won the special award, Li An didn't mention the last words that the person in charge of Xinhai in the office said to him for the time being.

For now, he had never thought of getting a bonus when he came to participate in this competition.

And at this moment, he felt as if he was going to be liberated, if he remembered correctly.
"All the winners, please—"

Stepping onto the stage again, when Qian Zhongnan handed over the heavy crystal trophy and the award banner with [-] yuan written on it, he felt relieved.

This time-

The money, is it over?

Ha ha.

"Wow——————————"

Just like that, Li An held his medals of "Farewell" and "Lovely", and bowed to the audience with a happy face for the last time.

life.

Gee.

-

Just like that, Ang Lee completely ended his competition stage.

According to eyewitnesses, after the game, Ang Lee embraced a long-haired woman in a beige trench coat at the main entrance of the Grand Theater for a minute.

The eyewitness was right, because our acquaintance, Teacher Lin Youyou, was among the crowd.

And just as Lin Youyou turned around and walked towards the hotel, our new Gold Award winner, County Magistrate Wu, and his Master Tang had already boarded a taxi to the international airport, and there was a girl with glasses in the car.

Passing by the hotel, the glasses girl got off.

"Brother Sheng, Brother Chong, see you next year!"

The glasses girl returned to the hotel and started booking train tickets.

When she booked the train ticket, Yanev called his father.

He is very happy, the bronze prize of the Xinhai Cup is actually more than the No.1 prize money he got in Moda.

Just as he was thinking about where to eat hot pot tomorrow, Jiang Sheng had already eaten the meals made by his parents.

"Come and eat more, we are exhausted today, Shengsheng."

Jiang Sheng looked at the food in front of her without moving her chopsticks, and after a while she asked, "Mom, is my performance tonight okay?"

Father Sheng said: "It must! You don't even know that you played on it just now, and your mother wiped tears from below. I'll tell you about those who cry."

Jiang Sheng: "Hahahahaha."

Some are happy and some are sad.

Accompanied by his girlfriend, Liang Chunyu returned to school. The two were holding hands on the playground, and they had turned around several times.

Under the same night, Sun Yuman happened to drive by and sent Ma Tao to the gate of the community.

"Thank you Miss Xiaoyu, please slow down."

After waving with Ma Tao, Sun Yuman picked up his phone and sent Chen Xuan a message.

Then he threw the phone aside, kicked the accelerator and drove into the depths of the night.
-
Xiao Yu: I won’t bother you tonight, but be careful~
On the small bed in 4005, Chen Xuan replied with a smile: I will call you tomorrow, good night

After replying, she also turned the phone to silent and put it aside, then continued to look down at the figure in her arms.

Ten minutes ago, someone who threatened to do something while taking a bath, ended up falling asleep in her arms as soon as she got into bed.

She knew that Li An was too tired for a while.

He lowered his head and kissed Li An gently on the forehead, "Sleep well, dear."

Chen Xuan will never forget the moment Li An got up after playing k271 today and looked up at the sky above the stage.

Under the spotlight, he gently supported the piano in front of him, looked up at the sky, and stood closer to the auditorium than the conductor, with an indifferent expression, like a god.

"Good night~"
-
This feeling is destined to be extremely familiar to Li An.

As for the Xinghai Cup Organizing Committee, the long night has just begun, and the matter is far from over.

Even before the awards ceremony started, there were already discussions on the Internet about contestant No. 066's wrong song in the final of the Xinhai Cup Youth Open Group.

At the end of the award ceremony, the Organizing Committee of the Xinhai Cup Piano Competition issued a statement through the official Weibo as soon as the whole incident was spread.

In the statement, the competition organizing committee clearly restored the whole story of the "Oolong incident" to the public, and said that Ang Lee had been invited to play again, but Ang Lee refused the invitation.

The organizing committee reflected deeply and expressed the deepest and most sincere apology to Ang Lee for what he suffered in the Xinhai Cup.

Finally, the organizing committee announced that the Grand Theater has terminated the contract with the conductor Hou Zhentao, and removed the other party from the conductor work for all subsequent matches.
-
However, the organizing committee did not expect that the important factor for this year's Xinhai Cup to be able to get out of the circle was finally because of an expression.

I don't know which talented netizen watched the live broadcast, and made a GIF animation of Ang Lee's bewildered expression looking at the podium when he found out that the song was wrong.

Overnight, this expression became popular.
