The world's number one pianist

Without any hesitation, Ji Mengting took off the black down jacket with only a common brand name printed on it, put it on the chair, and quickly walked towards the stage.

Her figure, which had been trained since childhood, was fully displayed in front of everyone.

Ji Mengting didn't care about the eyes of others around her. She walked through the aisle and quickly walked to the stage, to the edge of the stage.

Even though she was at the edge, many people's eyes were all focused on her.

There was no other reason.

It was just because Ji Mengting had a great figure, and she exuded a princess' temperament.

Just a casual glance, you can guess that Ji Mengting's family should be very rich.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to have such a temperament.

And this richness is not the kind of richness that suddenly became rich, but the kind of richness that at least reached the third or fourth generation, and everyone in the family is well-read.

With this momentum, everyone ignored the gangster next to them and other students from the music school, and locked their eyes on Ji Mengting.

"Who is this person? Where did she come from?"

"She should be from the Jiangzhou Normal University Music School. I just heard the host say that."

"Jiangzhou Normal University Music School can actually cultivate students with such good temperament? It's really weird..."

"Who knows, maybe she is not good at playing the piano, and she didn't get into those colleges, so she was forced to go to the Jiangzhou Normal University Music School?"

"Great minds think alike, I think so too."

"..."

Perhaps it was because Ji Mengting was too attractive, so other people around her saw Ji Mengting's strong aura and couldn't help but have some bad thoughts about her.

After all, look at most of the girls in the music school.

Especially the girls on the piano side.

Although they have temperament, most of them don't have as good figures as Ji Mengting.

It is rare to see someone like Ji Mengting, who looks like a piano student who studies piano and a dance student who studies dance.

The host was not surprised. He just looked at Ji Mengting for a second, nodded slightly, and spoke to everyone.

"All contestants will appear in the order of registration just now. Please go backstage to rest for a while."

Click...

The door on the side of the stage was opened, and a group of staff stood at the stage door, looking at all the actors on the stage.

Ji Mengting walked to the bottom of the stage without any hesitation.

Other contestants also followed Ji Mengting's steps and left the stage.

As soon as she walked off the stage, a female staff member walked in front of Ji Mengting and nodded to her.

"Hello, contestant No. 12, please follow me. We will go to the backstage rest area to rest temporarily."

Ji Mengting looked at the female staff member, didn't think much, and immediately followed her steps and walked towards her lounge.

Yi Wen just came down from the stage, and looked around. He found that Ji Mengting had left long ago. He frowned and asked the staff beside him.

"Hey, you, come here. Do you know the girl from Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music before? What's her name? I think she's called Calculator? Oh, never mind, do you know where she is?"

The staff looked at Yi Wen in confusion and asked him uncertainly.

"Calculator? Um, I'm sorry, I don't know, but the lady surnamed Ji should have been taken to her lounge by other staff, so I don't know where she is."

"Tsk tsk, you don't know where she is, I..."

Yi Wen rubbed his fists and was about to scare the staff, but suddenly found a person who should not be provoked standing aside.

"Pei, Teacher Pei..."

Teacher Pei, that is, Pei Qi from Huaguo Conservatory of Music, came out from the side, frowned and looked at Yi Wen, and asked lightly.

"What were you doing just now?"

"No, nothing, I just wanted to find the calculator from Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music..."

"Calculator?"

Pei Qi frowned, not understanding what Yi Wen wanted to say, and asked immediately.

"What do you want to do with the calculator?"

"I, I heard that she is He Shen's student, so..."

"So?"

"So I want to declare war on her, tell her that your teacher is not good, my teacher is better than your teacher, and Huaguo Conservatory of Music is the strongest!"

"???"

Pei Qi rubbed his head, and he suddenly regretted why he thought of accepting such a student at that time.

I always feel that this student's brain is in a short circuit state all day long, and I don't know what he is thinking at all.

I was obviously a smart kid at that time, why is he like this now?

Pei Qi looked at Yi Wen, and the more he looked, the angrier he became, and finally, he kicked him.

Yi Wen twisted his waist slightly, dodged Pei Qi's kick directly, and then immediately raised his hand to apologize.

"Sorry, teacher, I was wrong, I shouldn't have done that!"

Pei Qi: "???"

Pei Qi almost couldn't breathe, but he couldn't kick him, and couldn't wake him up no matter how he scolded him. He was completely a piece of shit.

Except that I can play the piano a little bit, I can't find a particularly good place at all.

Seeing Yi Wen's dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, Pei Qi pointed at Yi Wen and sighed forcefully.

"You, get on stage and start your performance! Hurry up!"

"oh……"

Yi Wen nodded honestly, then suddenly remembered something, took out a can of Coke from his pocket, and said to Pei with a smile.

"Teacher, please stop scolding me. I will go on stage now. Teacher, please drink a can of Coke to calm down."

After that, he didn't put the Coke in Pei Qi's pocket, but placed it directly on the table near Pei Qi, and then trotted all the way, thinking about running to the stage.

Pei Qi looked at the Coke he left aside, and became even more angry. He gritted his teeth, took the bottle of Coke away, shook his head, and left backstage.

Yi Wen had already guessed that Pei Qi would take away the Coke, so he quickly rushed to the stage.

When he was about to stand on the stage, his steps suddenly stopped. He glanced behind him and found that Coke was gone and Pei Qi was gone. He immediately cleared his throat and tidied up his disguise.

After confirming that his appearance was not too bad, he walked out slowly.

Wow!

The audience, who had no idea what was going on backstage, immediately began to applaud vigorously.

Hearing such warm applause from the audience, the corners of Yi Wen's mouth cracked slightly, and he immediately walked quickly to the edge of the piano. He held the edge of the piano with his left hand, opened his hands to all the audience with a bright face, and then saluted vigorously. .

After the salute was over and the audience's applause stopped, he sat down and quickly adjusted his position.

After everything was ready, he slammed down his hands.

Dang!

Bang...

Dang li di dang!

Bang bang...

Dang-dang-dang-dang!

Bang bang...

When tick tock...

Bang bang...

This extremely familiar prelude sounded, and the eyes of most of the audience lit up instantly.

This, this sound!

This is Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2"!

It was the song that Lang Liangyue talked about before about his enlightenment music.

One of the songs from the Tom and Jerry cartoon that everyone has seen!

He actually chose this piece for the opening ceremony?

interesting……

Some good people set their sights on the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music nearby, and looked at Yue Li of the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music.

Yue Li from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music is also an incomparable second grader, and he also mainly plays Liszt.

So, can this person catch up with Yue Li, or become the second Yue Li?

They looked at Yi Wen and then at Yue Li, showing expectant looks.

Yue Li's expression showed no change at all, and his body was just bent there, as if in a daze.

Because he is too tall, this stool, which is very large for ordinary people, looks very small on his side.

He looked at Yi Wen's performance in front of him expressionlessly, just listening without making a sound.

No one could read his thoughts from his face.

He Shen, who was sitting behind him, leaned back slightly and nodded silently.

This person is pretty good.

If calculated based on his strength back then, his current strength is a little stronger than when he was a freshman.

After all, when I first entered Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, I did not show my strength immediately. Instead, it took half a semester of solid foundation before I showed my ability to surpass Wuzhou Conservatory of Music.

And now this person, his performance of Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" is close to the Level 4 level.

It has surpassed Lv2, which is the lowest level for entry, and has reached Lv3, close to Lv4.

This level, no matter where it is placed, is very strong!

This kid also has the courage to provoke other students.

only……

He should not provoke other people casually. The most important thing in life is to keep a low profile.

He Shen snorted softly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say much.

I hope that when he provokes, he has thought about the possibility of being defeated.

The performance on the stage continued, and Yi Wen's eyes were firmly locked on the piano in front of him, extremely serious.

If you look at it this way, you won't see his character like a gangster at all. Instead, you feel that he has the temperament of a piano master.

The music flows quickly, making people feel a little bit addicted.

Countless students were shocked by the powerful strength of this student.

They knew that there was a big gap between the Huaguo Conservatory of Music and their school, but they never thought that the gap between them would be so big.

"Is this the foundation of the Huaguo Conservatory of Music?"

"This strength is just a little bit too strong, right?"

"This person has something..."

"Isn't he the strongest freshman this year at the Huaguo Conservatory of Music?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

They didn't know the ranking of the person in front of them within the Huaguo Conservatory of Music, but they knew that this person was very, very strong.

Ji Mengting, who had just sat down in the backstage lounge, couldn't help but stop her hand in mid-air when she heard the sound outside the door.

The staff member standing behind her immediately showed concern and asked Ji Mengting.

"What's wrong? Is it because it's too cold and your fingers are a little stiff? Don't worry, we have heating in the room and it will be warm soon!"

"No……"

Ji Mengting shook her head, walked to the sofa in the lounge, sat down directly, nodded gracefully to the staff at the door, and said.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do here. You can go out first."

"Well, if you need anything, just go out and call us. We'll be at the door."

After that, the staff member closed the door.

Because today is the first day of competition, it is equivalent to the opening match.

Students who can participate in the opening competition basically have two skills!

Therefore, they must be treated well, no matter which school they come from.

The music on the stage is flowing rapidly.

Off the stage, Ji Mengting listened carefully with her eyes closed, thinking about the score of this piece.

Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" has been heard by almost everyone who has studied music or is even remotely interested in music.

Even if they have never heard of it, if you tell them about the dubbing of that episode in Tom and Jerry, they will have a rough idea of ​​what this piece is.

Therefore, Ji Mengting is relatively familiar with the score of this piece.

The more she listened, the more she felt that there was something about this man from the Huaguo Conservatory of Music.

Whether it's his foundation or his understanding of music, they are both relatively strong!

Therefore, this person is difficult to beat!

But, I must defeat him!

Ji Mengting's eyes showed a hint of determination. This was her promise to He Shen.

If she fails, He Shen will not be eligible to submit to the Chopin International Piano Competition.

In other words, all the efforts my teacher made for that competition will be wasted.

I am the strongest student in the Music College of Jiangzhou Normal University.

You must get that quota as a teacher!

Ji Mengting closed her eyes suddenly and began to rest with her eyes closed, letting her heart sink as she waited for the next game.

The game progressed quickly. After Yi Wen finished playing, he suddenly raised his hand, stood up immediately, grinned and waved vigorously to the people under the stage.

After saluting several times, he put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the stage with a skip.

Zheng Zhen, the next student from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, was already standing at the edge of the stage. When he saw Yi Wen walking towards him, he immediately trembled a little.

From the corner of Yi Wen's perspective, he immediately noticed the trembling Zheng Zhen. He immediately walked to Zheng Zhen's side, stretched his body forward, stretched his neck, and reached Zheng Zhen's ear with a hint of provocation. asked.

"Are you shivering?"

"I-I didn't!"

Zheng Zhen immediately took a step back, left Yi Wen's surroundings, and hid aside.

Yi Wen looked at Zheng Zhen who was retreating, and immediately couldn't help but waved his hand to Zheng Zhen and laughed.

"Hahahahahaha, don't be so shy, I won't eat you, right?"

"Here, have a lollipop."

After saying that, Yi Wen took out a brand new lollipop and stuffed it into Zheng Zhen's pocket.

After making sure that the lollipop was stuffed, Yi Wen immediately put his hands back into his pockets, pretended as if nothing had happened, and walked unsteadily toward the bottom of the stage.

Zheng Zhen looked at Yi Wen leaving, touched the lollipop in his pocket, shook his head, and returned his gaze to the stage. After waiting for a while, he quickly walked towards the stage.

Stand in the center of the stage, bow to everyone, sit down, and adjust the height of your seat.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the seat, and after the audience's voices quieted down, his hands immediately started playing.

The work he played was a Chopin etude arranged by Godowski.

Ge changed Xiao Lian, while retaining the musicality, it was countless times more difficult than Xiao Lian.

It is full of various techniques that are difficult to use.

This is also a piece that is particularly suitable for showing off your skills!

Zheng Zhen is on the stage, performing his works quickly.

But his heart was a little confused.

It seemed that because of Yi Wen's influence before, his hand was much tighter.

Even though Ge Gai and Xiao Lian did not have so many requirements for timbre.

However, the tone of his tight fingers immediately made many people hear it, and then shook their heads silently.

He made a mistake!

His tone is so tight!

This tension made Zheng Zhen's brain start to go numb.

Zheng Zhen didn't even know how he got off the stage. When he realized it, he was already standing next to Yi Wen.

The next player on the stage has already started playing.

Yi Wen leaned against the wall and grinned at Zheng Zhen, as if he was mocking.

"You failed!"

"..."

Zheng Zhen did not answer him, but lowered his head, quickly returned to the square array of Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, put on his coat, and wrapped himself in it.

Fortunately, none of his classmates laughed at him for this.

Everyone was silent, just looking at the stage quietly.

Feeling this quietness, Zheng Zhen finally came to his senses at this moment and looked at the performance of the next player on the stage.

Third place, fourth place...

Fifth place, sixth place...

Ninth place, tenth place...

When the tenth came on the stage, the eleventh was already standing backstage.

The staff immediately knocked on Ji Mengting's door and spoke to Ji Mengting who was resting with her eyes closed.

"Contestant No. 12, it's your turn next!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ji Mengting slowly opened her eyes, slowly stood up from her seat, walked to the door, and opened it.

The staff who was about to knock on the door was startled when he saw Ji Mengting suddenly open the door, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Um, hello, it's your turn next."

"Well, okay."

Ji Mengting smiled gracefully, walked past the staff, and walked towards the backstage of the stage.

Soon, she arrived at the backstage.

Contestant No. 11 has already gone on stage. Now there are only some staff members and a lazy man blowing gum on the stage.

Yi Wen saw Ji Mengting finally came out of the lounge, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin. He walked to Ji Mengting and smiled at her.

"Oh, it's not easy to wait for you. I'm almost dying waiting for you."

Ji Mengting didn't even look at Yi Wen.

Yi Wen didn't seem surprised by this.

He rubbed his hands, looked at Ji Mengting, then stretched out a fist and smiled at Ji Mengting.

"Come on, fist bump, I want to challenge you!"

"?"

Ji Mengting turned her head at this time and looked at Yi Wen, her eyes full of doubts.

Yi Wen saw Ji Mengting finally looked at him, and immediately spoke in an extremely second-year tone.

"I want to challenge you to prove that I am better than you! Since I am better than you, then I am better than your teacher!"

"I heard that your teacher is the champion of the Golden Piano Award? And what is it that he received, Dan Yi's appreciation?"

"I am a little dissatisfied when I heard this. How can a school that is not even a music school win the Golden Piano Award and be appreciated by Dan Yi?"

"So, I want to challenge you to prove that your teacher is not as good as my teacher!"

"Of course, when I defeat you, I will challenge your teacher to prove that your teacher is not as good as me!"

"Hahahahahahaha..."

Yi Wen said, and laughed with his hands on his waist.

Ji Mengting looked at Yi Wen inexplicably, shook his head, and ignored him.

"Contestant No. 12, it's your turn to go on stage!"

The staff suddenly ran over and spoke to Ji Mengting.

Ji Mengting immediately nodded slightly and walked towards the top of the stage, leaving Yi Wen alone laughing behind.

Yi Wen was laughing when he realized something was wrong. He opened his eyes and suddenly found that Ji Mengting was not in front of him. He immediately planned to chase Ji Mengting and ask her to agree to his challenge.

Ji Mengting suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yi Wen, and shook her head slowly.

"You are far behind..."
