Please, come home and practice the piano

Xiaomi: It’s my turn
-

In the outfield of Poly Theater, Song Lian, his wife and Sun Yuman were waiting anxiously after seeing Chen Xuan into the infield.

As Chen Xuan's parents and close friends, the three of them accompanied Chen Xuan through each stage of flute learning.

In front of Chen Xuan during lunch, Sun Yuman and Song Lian also reviewed every detail of Chen Xuan's graduation concert.

When talking about this topic, both Lao Chen and Xiao Chen were slightly silent.

On the night of the graduation concert, Lao Chen thought that his daughter had finally finished her studies and could go home, although he knew that her daughter had other thoughts.

Xiao Chen believes that her flute career will usher in a new era, although she knows that this path will never go as smoothly as before.

But neither father nor daughter expected that when their conflicts came face to face, a happy family would almost be shattered into pieces.

Time flies three years later. After experiencing a dispute with his father and running away from home, from not understanding to trying to empathize, from experiencing life to finding a new direction in life, Chen Xuan once again picked up the flute and looked at the regrets of adolescence. Chen Xuan's heart Already calm.

Different from the anxiety of the three people outside the venue, Chen Xuan was quietly wiping the musical instrument in his hand in the waiting area.

When it was announced that the Group D match was about to begin, the magnetic field in the entire waiting area changed.

Chen Xuan could feel the air pressure around her suddenly rising. She could understand that she could see the shadow of herself in those players whose eyes were shining with confidence.

She was the same at that time. She held the flute in her hand and showed her sharpness. She would not admit defeat and insisted on her own way of playing the flute.

Chen Xuan was thinking that if she successfully went abroad after graduation and returned to China to participate in the competition as an international student this time, she might still be like this.

It's not just fate. Looking back, she feels that everything was the best arrangement.

Even if she didn't go abroad, she would still be sitting here at this moment.

Perhaps this is the unpredictable life, no one knows what is waiting for them later.

She has always admired Li An's ability to face everything calmly. Even if there was a stage accident like that in the Xinhai Cup finals, Li An also chose to actively hug the conductor on the stage, laugh it off and plan the next trip.

This incident had a huge impact on Chen Xuan's heart. Although she did not have much contact with Li An, it was also during this incident that Chen Xuan began to believe that the process of the game might really be greater than the result.

She suffered from severe anxiety in the early stages of preparing for the competition. During that time, she was thinking about the competition almost when she slept. It was like she had to seize this opportunity after losing it, and her competitive heart broke out again. , always swaying her brain.

Li An didn't say anything. He practiced the flute with her from dawn to dusk for a week. He got up at five o'clock in the morning and finished at around ten o'clock in the evening. Apart from normal work, the two of them spent the rest of the time in the piano room.

Until both of them had dark circles under their eyes and couldn't stand it anymore, she found that her anxiety seemed to have been exhausted.

The passion for the game in her heart evaporated instantly like fireworks in the clear sky. At that moment, she realized that some things were just like the last second and could never be returned, and some things were still happening just like this second.

All she can do now is to experience the competition carefully and still go all out.

As the host came on stage, the temperature at the venue soared again. Chen Xuan stopped wiping the flute, and then put the wiping cloth into the flute case.

There are a total of eight players participating in Group D in this round. They will appear in the order of promotion in the first round of draws, and they will be ranked in no particular order.

The host read out the rules of the second round, then bowed and left the stage.

The Group D competition begins with the first contestant taking the stage.

There is no audience and there is naturally no applause.

Completely different from the atmosphere-filled clips of international competitions in the video, there is not much difference between the real international competitions and the Blue Sky Cup competitions.

The judges were sitting in the audience with different expressions. The entire concert hall was not quiet enough to hear the silver needle falling. From time to time, one or two noises came from the background.

Under the spotlight, a Singaporean male contestant with a short body made slight adjustments to his instrument before starting to play the first piece.

The two pieces that contestants in this round need to play are Dutilleux's Sonata and Leclerc's Sonata in E minor. As Ang Lee introduced to the children, both works are French works created by French composers.

The difference is that the former is a modern work created specifically for flute, while the latter is a work created for violin during the Baroque period.

If the first round examined the contestants' free expression of the works of various schools in various periods, then this round examined the contestants' understanding and processing of the works of the same school in different periods.

In short, this round requires contestants to use more delicate processing to impress the judges.

After the two pieces were played, the first Singaporean contestant on stage took a bow and left the stage with some regret, and then the second contestant came on stage.

Compared with the first player, the overall performance of the second female player from the United States is much more stable, and the processing texture of the two works is also clearer.

In the first round, the overall performance of Singapore players was better than that of American players.

This scene reminded everyone in the waiting room of Japanese player Noriko Teraki, who was eliminated in the first round. Teraki Noriko, who was considered by the outside world to be the star of Japan this year, was unfortunately eliminated due to her unsatisfactory on-the-spot performance.
The outside world said it was an upset, but only the players in the arena knew that if they didn't perform well, they didn't perform well, and there was no such thing as an upset.

This is the ever-changing nature of the international arena. There is only one chance, and a small inadvertence can change the result.

If the first Singaporean player could adjust his breathing when playing the first piece, the result might be different.

At least in Chen Xuan's opinion, the other party was a little anxious, especially starting with a modern sonata.

The audience saw clearly that the Singaporean player put up the flute twice in a row and then put it down. It was obvious that his body was not ready yet. As a result, he started playing the flute directly for the third time and played an unsmooth beginning.
The third player who then took the stage brought the first wave of climax since the start of Group D.

The most intuitive reflection of how the players perform on the stage is the reaction in the waiting area.

When the third player finished playing, there were several sighs of helplessness in the waiting area. Although everyone had little memory of the Korean player's performance in the first round, the opponent put in an extremely wonderful performance in this round.

Outside the field, many players who had finished the second round were also watching the live broadcast of Group D.

After listening to the third player's stage, I couldn't help but sigh. Not surprisingly, two Korean players have already obtained tickets for the third round.

As a contestant from South Korea, Kim Sang-hyeon performed two French works to the fullest in the morning competition in Group B.

The next fourth contestant to take the stage was Elena, a girl from Naples who had attracted much attention before the game.

As a student of Debst, Elena's advancement in the first round with No. 7 was considered to be the jury's intention to squeeze the points.

In the external voting, Elena's first-round result was No. 2, second only to Sitanei.

However, Debst did not respond to this. As the chairman of the jury, Debst only expressed congratulations to all the qualified contestants on his personal social platform after the results of the first round came out.

Elena's typical French-style playing techniques brought an extraordinary experience to the scene as soon as she came up.

On the big screen, under the spotlight, Elena is wearing a light green dress that complements the music. It is soft and elegant, making people fall into endless reverie.

"Wow."

The children naturally exclaimed.

Having listened to the performances of the four contestants in full, everyone is already familiar with the appearance of the two pieces of music.

But only the brown-haired sister blew out a fairy-tale feeling in the first piece.

Li An, who was in the back row, listened to the performance of the third contestant on the stage, and now listened to Elena's performance, he couldn't help but sweat for Chen Xuan.

Because in his heart, the best performance of Chen Xuan's piece in the audience was not the same as that of Elena on the stage at this moment.

Chen Xuan plays hard and has a vigorous style, which in itself has no advantage in playing colorful French works, and this comes next after Elena.Judging from the current situation, Chen Xuan's promotion situation is already not optimistic. The performance of Yankee and Elena is too perfect.

Fortunately, there is another player who just arrived, Chen Xuan.

Li An took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Chen Xuan, but the edited message was not sent.

Holding Xiaomi steady, Li An murmured in his heart and put away his phone.

As expected, Elena continued her full playing state in the second piece of Leclerc's E minor, and concluded her current stage with a smooth ending.

At this point, in the eyes of many spectators outside the venue, there is one less ticket for the third round.

The atmosphere in the waiting area became subtle again.

Chen Xuan knew what the players in the same group were thinking before taking the stage, but she was already mentally prepared.

She had paid attention to the player Elena in the first round. She didn't know why the opponent's score was only ranked seventh.

If she were a judge, she would not think that the opponent's overall performance was worse than that of Jin Shangxian. Among the three works in the first round, Elena's Bach was No. 1 in her heart.

The same Baroque period piece, Leclerc, who was playing just now, once again proved her opinion that the other person's grasp of Baroque works has reached a perfect level.

She was only 19 years old. This was such an incredible thing. Chen Xuan really didn't want to look at Elena's performance like an old aunt, but the facts were right in front of her.

The afterlife is terrifying.

Different from the petty thoughts of some players, Chen Xuan feels that it is her honor to be on the stage with such players.

She didn't know if she would have a chance to feel the atmosphere of the semifinals at Falun Bell. If so, she would be happy, but if not, she would be fine.

At least she has been on the stage with the finalist in her mind. In Ang Lee's words, she can be considered as someone who has participated in the finals.

There were no negative emotions that other players showed towards Elena's outstanding performance. As Elena stepped down, Chen Xuan felt more relaxed.

She murmured in her heart, wondering what Li An was thinking at this moment. She guessed that the other party must be getting nervous.

As contestant No. 5 took the stage, in the waiting area where the big screen was not showing, Chen Xuan put away her belongings and headed to the entrance.

Suddenly, all eyes in the waiting area moved from the big screen to her back.
-
Off-site lobby.

Sun Yuman was a little excited: "The next one is Xiaomi."

Old Chen stood up casually: "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Song Lian directly gave the order: "Come back, you will have smoked a few in a while."

Lao Chen sat down and after a while said, "Why don't you send her a message and ask."

Song Lian looked disgusted: "Can you just sit there quietly?"
-
Norton Manor.

"teacher."

Liu Fengrui turned around and asked, "Which time will Teacher Chen come on?"

All the children turned their heads. They couldn't help but want to see Teacher Chen appear on the golden stage on the big screen holding a flute.

Except for Tang Xiaoxing, the remaining children watched the live broadcast of an international music competition for the first time, and the feeling was completely different from the competitions they had participated in before.

Ang Lee: "That's next."

Suddenly the whole classroom was a little restless, the next one was Teacher Chen!
Xiao Liu directly held back his urine: "Then I'll go to the toilet later."

Li An didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You've got enough time, go quickly."

"Teacher, I want to go too." Marco didn't want to go to the toilet, but when he heard that Teacher Chen was coming soon, he felt a little nervous.

Ang Lee: "Hurry up wherever you want to go."

There was a crash, and in a blink of an eye, no one was left, even the senior sister followed.

The lights outside the window were starting to turn on, and the front of the church was already illuminated by street lights.

"Are you nervous?" Xu Li noticed that Li An kept looking at the mobile phone on the table.

Li An nodded unabashedly, "I feel more nervous than when I participated in the competition."

Xu Li smiled and didn't answer. She could understand Li An's mood.

When the children came back, as the British contestants on the big screen began to play the second piece, Li An began to murmur to himself again.

Hold on hold on hold.

Suddenly the phone on the table vibrated, and Li An reached out and picked up the phone.

Xiaomi: It’s my turn.

Looking at this message, Li An seemed to hear Chen Xuan lying on his shoulder and said that he couldn't even be nervous even if he wanted to.

Li An casually took a photo of the scene in front of him and sent it to the other party.

moment.

Xiaomi: Who are those two children sitting next to the car?
Eighty-one: Tang Xiaoxing and Liu Zihan also want to come to your game. Okay, let’s be serious, countdown to the superstar’s appearance.

Xiaomi: Okay, please enjoy quietly

After a long 8 minutes, as the fifth contestant bowed and the long-awaited contestant came out, the children finally saw their beautiful Teacher Chen appear on the big screen.

"Teacher Chen!" "Sister Chen!"

"Wow——————"

The children in piano classroom No. [-] applauded at the same time!
Tang Xiaoxing and Liu Zihan also clapped their hands. At this moment, they only had one feeling: Teacher Li's girlfriend is too beautiful! !

But looking at this purple dress now, Li An still feels that he bought it a bit hastily at the time. He will definitely take Chen Xuan to pick out another dress after the bookman has concluded the negotiation.

All the players watching the game also focused their attention on the camera.

During the preparations for the competition, when everyone was studying the Chinese players, they all focused on the two well-known young players, Ye Xinyi and Wang Guanyu. No one paid attention to Chen Xuan, who only had two lines of introduction.

But after the results of the first round came out, Chen Xuan advanced to the second round with No. 15.

No. 15 is a very sensitive ranking.

In the third round, 45 scored 14.

As Teacher Chen stopped in the center of the stage on the big screen, the applause of the children in the classroom fell into silence.
