[Mission Objective 4: Make the target reach 87631 popularity in the country as a pianist (not completed, current progress 100000/)]
[This training fund: 117000000 yen ( million yen)]
[Currently remaining training funds: 45 million yen]
Xiangzi's training funds were more than Ailai's, even though the system later added more than 100 million, in order to increase Xiangzi's popularity, Lu Yu still used the method of paying money to hold a concert for Xiangzi.
Not only Starry, Lu Yu also arranged many other live houses for Xiangzi later.
This is the case in the field of piano. As long as your level is good enough, you will accumulate fans quickly. However, people who don’t like piano will not pay any attention to this field.
So even though mission objective 2 had already been exceeded, mission objective 3 was still nearly 13% short of the target.
"The last 13% can only be handed over to Hamamatsu."
Having been paying close attention to the progress of the mission, Lu Yu discovered that after the popularity of mission target 3 reached , the growth rate began to slow down.
But this is normal. Fame spreads along the circle, and the number of people in a circle is limited. It can be said that what Xiangzi can achieve now is basically the limit.
As for the remaining 10,000 or so of fame, it is not enough to just hold concerts in various live houses in Tokyo.
The Hamamatsu Competition is a must!
Sagi had already told Xiangzi about participating in Hamamatsu, and Xiangzi was also aware of the importance of Hamamatsu, so as the day of the competition was approaching, Xiangzi directly took a long vacation of about a month in Hanaoka.
Hamamatsu's competition schedule is divided into three stages: auditions, preliminaries, and official competitions, and one month is just right.
The venue for the Hamamatsu competition is in the neon city of Hamamatsu. For this competition, Sagi Yu rented a luxury house in Hamamatsu with a wave of his hand.
For a one-month competition, physical adjustment is very important. In the past, there were players in Hamamatsu who performed well in the auditions and preliminaries but performed poorly in the official competitions because they failed to adjust their condition.
The closer it gets to the competition, the more attention one has to pay to details, so after arriving in Hamamatsu, Ruyu even spent money on Xiangzi like water.
Xiangzi saw and remembered the expense of Lu Yu. He raised his troops for a thousand days but deployed them only for a moment. Xiangzi advanced very easily in the auditions and the official competitions.
The pieces he performed were all difficult pieces that exceeded the competition requirements. There were no flaws in the performance and the judges' approval rate was as high as 10%. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiangzi's performance in the first two rounds of selection was that of a king.
"Xiangzi, well done!"
One night three days before the official competition, in a private room of a restaurant in Hamamatsu City, Lu Yu arranged an early celebration banquet for Xiangzi.
In the official forum website of the competition, among the ten contestants in Xiangzi's group who advanced to the official competition, Xiangzi currently has the highest voice.
Thanks to the careful teaching of Touma Kazusa and Sagiha, Shoko has been regarded as the favorite to win the Hamamatsu Piano Competition on the official forum.
"I didn't expect that, Xiangzi, you could actually make it this far." Touma Hesa looked at Xiangzi with eyes full of relief.
She really didn't expect that Xiangzi would become the favorite to win the Hamamatsu competition. This was something she couldn't do at the beginning, but now Xiangzi has done it.
Xiangzi was not crushed by the heavy burden on her shoulders. Instead, she turned it all into motivation. Now, everything Xiangzi had paid for will be rewarded.
"Xiangzi, you can definitely win the championship."
A few months ago, everyone thought that Sagiba was just daydreaming, but now Touma and Sa believe more than anyone else that Shoko can win the youth group championship in the Hamamatsu competition.
Toyokawa Shoko, this flower that blooms under great pressure will surely be able to shine her light to the whole world on this stage!
"Ok!"
Hearing the blessings from his teacher and Ruyu, a sweet smile appeared on Xiangzi's face. However, unlike Ruyu and Touma Kazusa who were full of confidence, Xiangzi did not think that he could definitely win the championship.
After going through so many things, Xiangzi is now more cautious than anyone else. As long as she doesn't really have something in her hands, she will never feel that she has won.
Don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the opponent, do your best!
"Xiangzi, you..."
Looking at the humble and calm Xiangzi, Touma Hesa really shed tears. Xiangzi is really outstanding.
Touma Kazusa believes that Hamamatsu will definitely not be Shoko's end. On the contrary, Shoko will definitely step onto a higher and bigger stage in Hamamatsu!
After dinner, Shoko returned to the mansion rented by Sagiha first, saying that he wanted to continue practicing the piano, while Sagiha went for a walk in front of the competition venue with Touma and Kazusa.
Arriving in front of the venue, looking at the venue where she had fought many years ago, Touma Kazusa unconsciously clenched her fists: "Sagiba, Xiangzi will win, right?"
Lu Yu smiled.
"Isn't that natural?"
Volume 1: Remarks on the release.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
I have to write a thank you note for the release of the product. I don’t know what to write, so I’ll just write a wish for everyone a happy new year~
According to convention, the remarks after the product is put on the shelves should be very poignant, but I omitted this part because I thought it was too troublesome.
Let me briefly explain why I wrote this book. It’s because I like mygo, but I felt that writing only about mygo was not enough, so I made it into a hodgepodge of Tokyo.
At first, this book was intended to be a very simple non-gravity urban cool novel, that is, the heroine is cultivated, the heroine falls in love with the protagonist, and then the protagonist runs, and the heroine chases the husband.
But as I was writing, I realized I was going off topic...
The reason for going off topic is very simple, because Soyo appeared. If it was just Xiangzi's solo, it could actually be written in a single perspective, but once Soyo appeared, it was completely different.
The power of Ting Wang is really different. The gravity field that this character brings with him when he appears is really strong.
Deng's lifelong band, Lixi's wherever the lamp is, there she is, Mutouren's cucumber, all of these seem to pale in comparison to Soyo's stunning kneeling.
Soyo is such a character that will make the author and the book unconsciously fall into the gravity field when he appears, so...
Therefore, the protagonist of the last tens of thousands of words of this book changed from Xiangzi to Soyo. When the author looked back, he found that he seemed to have been captured by Soyo.
Actually, this can be changed, but there is no other way. Soyo is really too cute. I thought since it is written like this, I might as well not change it.
soyo san~love~
A simple urban thriller is nice to read, but it would also be nice to add some gravity to turn it into a romantic comedy, so let's just keep writing it like this.
Then the author will talk about the next plot, which can be regarded as a way to attract some first orders for the release. However, in order to maintain the sense of anticipation, I will only say a few words here.
First of all, as for mygo, don’t worry, the great gravity terminator, Holy Angel Big and Small Eyes Aine-chan, will eventually conquer the heavy girl. Of course, the help of the protagonist is indispensable here.
Then comes the hen card. The situation will be more complicated. After all, the weak Xiangzi is already like this. She will do anything for Luyu Xiangzi~but she can do nothing.
Help me, Ms. Meow Dream, she will give both the face and the number!
Pochi-chan and Ms. Guiqulaixi from the band are still waiting for a hero to lead them to the light.
As for Miss Hoshino Ai who I recommend on the set...please chase her husband for a while longer.
This book is not the type that changes scenes after completing the strategy for a heroine, but the type that superimposes parallel lines.
If the protagonist fails to leave Tokyo, he will sooner or later be caught by the heroines and divided into five or even ten parts. As for who can grab the head or other important body parts, it probably depends on which heroine has the faster hatchet, right?
laugh.
Finally, here’s a sneak peek of the next big chapter.
Sheng Aiyin: "Lu Yu, you don't want Xiangzi to know that you live in my house, right?"
Pochi: "Um, Aine-chan, if you want to learn guitar, just ask me. Please don't embarrass Sagiba-kun."
Hoshino Ai: "Ms. Toyokawa, please return Mr. Mu Yu to me!"
Soyo: "Sakiko, please, let me see Ruyu again, I will do anything!"
Xiangzi: "You guys really only care about yourselves!"
That’s it, the preview ends.
The last, the last, the last. Please place an initial order.
For a book, the number of subscriptions for the first chapter that has just been released will directly affect the promotion of the book in the future.
So even if you want to keep the book, I implore you to at least subscribe to the first chapter before keeping it!
That's all I want to say. I wish you all a happy new year.
Bye bye.
(There will probably be more updates once it’s online, maybe?)
Volume 1: Chapter 58: Xiangzi's Rival (Requesting a First Order)
Hamamatsu City. Hamamatsu Music Hall.
"ladies and gentlemen."
"Welcome to the 114th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, the Youth Division!"
"I am the host of this competition, Hamari Yoshioka."
On the podium in the auditorium, a middle-aged man with dark hair, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, stood on the stage and introduced the rules of the Hamamatsu Competition and the ten candidates who had passed the selection. Below the podium were surrounded by reporters and spectators who had come to watch the competition.
The auditorium can accommodate 5,000 people, but in reality there were at least 7,000 to 8,000 people on site. The aisles, corners of the auditorium, and any place where people could stand were almost all packed with people.
There is a saying in the Japanese piano world that the champion of the Hamamatsu competition will lead the piano trend in Japan for at least the next five years. This saying is not groundless. As the highest-level piano competition in Japan, the difficulty of the Hamamatsu competition can be said to be truly hell-level.
"Then let me introduce the rules of this official competition."
"This competition is divided into four stages. The first stage is the premiere, where all contestants are free to choose a piece of music to perform, including at least one published etude, and the performance time must not exceed 20 minutes. After all contestants have finished performing, our four judges will use a veto system to eliminate four contestants."
“The second stage is a re-performance, where contestants are required to play two well-known pieces written by classical and romantic composers, including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Franck, Brahms, Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky and Grieg.”
"The second stage will adopt a scoring system. The four judges will score the contestants based on the difficulty of the repertoire and the performance. This stage will eliminate one contestant again. The contestants who are not eliminated in this stage will at least win the championship prize of this competition."
"The third stage is the final selection stage, which requires the five contestants who have won the award to play a specific piece of music. The performance of the piece will be scored according to the performance. The top three with the highest scores will advance to the finals."
"The final is the final. This time the final will be held in an ensemble format. The three contestants who advance to the final will randomly select a symphony orchestra from the three major symphony orchestras we have prepared to perform with them. The repertoire of the ensemble will be freely selected from the list we specify."
"For the finals, we invited 12 internationally renowned piano masters to evaluate the performance of each contestant. The evaluation system is a point system, and the one with the highest comprehensive score from the 12 judges will be the final champion of this group!"
"By the way, all contestants please pay attention to the following precautions."
“First, unless the judging panel specifies otherwise, all pieces performed by the contestants must be performed from memory and must be performed in their entirety.”
"Secondly, the stipulated performance time must be strictly adhered to. Performances exceeding the stipulated time limit may be interrupted by the jury."
"The above are the detailed rules for this official competition!"
......
"The rules this time are very disadvantageous to Xiangzi."
In the first row of the prime seats under the stage, Touma and Sa's faces showed a hint of worry when they heard the rules of the official competition.
"This time the finals are actually held in a duet with a symphony orchestra... Xiangzi doesn't have much experience in this area."
In the first three stages of the competition, Touma Kazusa was not worried about Shoko. With Shoko's strength, he should be able to win all the rounds by performing alone. However, the way he performed with the symphony orchestra in the final made Touma Kazusa a little uneasy.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. Although Xiangzi has no experience in this area, the other contestants probably don't have much experience in this area either."
Regarding the rules this time, Sagiba was not too worried. Although the organizer's move surprised him, the fans of other contestants probably didn't expect what he and Touma Kazusa didn't expect. In this case, everyone actually started from the same starting line.
But...if any contestant has practiced this beforehand...
"Probably not..."
Before the competition, Lu Yu had already studied Xiangzi's opponent. Most of the remaining contestants except Xiangzi did not seem to have received special training in ensemble.
But only...
Lu Yu's eyes fell on the phone screen.
[Popularity ranking of contestants in the 114th Hamamatsu International Piano Competition Youth Category]
[Fourth place: Nishikino Maki]
[9th place: Arima Kousei]
Seeing these two familiar yet unfamiliar names, Lu Yu's eyes became a little more serious. Although he didn't know much about the two of them because he hadn't watched these two anime, Lu Yu still knew their personalities and abilities.
One is a young genius who has been practicing piano under his mother's strict guidance since childhood in order to realize his mother's unfulfilled dream of "becoming a world-class pianist" and has won many domestic competitions with strict judges.
The other is a versatile musician who has mastered composing, singing and other fields. She has also been practicing piano since she was a child.
These two are strong rivals!
Maki's situation is slightly better, but Arima Kousei is a genuine top talent. In Sagi's eyes, Shoko's biggest rival for the championship is this fourteen-year-old boy who is the youngest and most inconspicuous in this competition.
This crappy ranking list really is voted with feet. Kousei Arima clearly has the ability to compete for the top three, but he is only ranked ninth in the popularity ranking. It seems that whether in the two-dimensional or three-dimensional world, beautiful girls are always more popular than boys.
Fortunately, in Lu Yu's memory, these two people seemed to have no experience in performing with a symphony orchestra. Although they are very strong individually, considering the orchestra ensemble, their situation should be similar to Xiangzi's.
