Chapter 88: 88th

"Uh, why look at me like this" Ji Xuan asked strangely after waving the chopsticks in her hand twice.
Xiao Yu smiled, "Do you want to die?"
Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows, and then she said, "Of course not."
"Then eat."
Jixuan nodded, and when it was almost finished, Jixuan went upstairs and gave Xiao Yu a gift box and said, "I bought a dress for your final."
Xiao Yu blinked and said, "I don't need to buy it again."
Ji Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I like to buy you a dress."
Ji Xuan bought a black dress this time, and Xiao Yuyi said righteously, "Don't buy it anymore, it's expensive and wasteful. Oh, it looks pretty, I'll change it."
Then Xiao Yu went upstairs with the gift box to change clothes, Ji Xuan was left behind ""
Xiao Yu changed his dress and put on a red coat outside.
Then he asked Ji Xuan, "Is it good?"
Ji Xuan nodded and said obsessively, "Well, beautiful."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It really is a pedophile."
Ji Xuan "" So, how should I answer?
Ji Yan's figure slowly appeared in Ji Xuan's mind. At this moment, for the first time in 29 years, he realized that his younger brother was still useful.
When they arrived at the game, Zhang Bingyu and Zhang Tianyu happened to report from the staff. Today's Zhang Bingyu wore a navy blue dress, and went in with the entry certificate.
Xiao Yu and Ji Xuan also reported in the past that the staff gave Xiao Yu a competition certificate saying, "Turn left ahead, and the staff will take you to your position after entering. All participants must memorize the score, and the judges have the right to terminate the playing process. Play, but it will not affect the score. You are in the professional group, right"
Xiao Yu nodded, and the person continued, "There are only 8 pieces for selection in the finals. This has been notified before. You cannot play on the field other than those given by the competition group, otherwise it will be waived. You have participated in other groups. Game?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, and the man continued to say, "If there is none, please register here clearly, and we can make proper arrangements. Is this person accompanying you?"
Xiao Yu nodded, and the staff said to Ji Xuan, "No audio and video recordings are allowed in the competition. The copyright of all recordings belongs to the organizing committee. If you want to take pictures, please turn off the flash. Please turn off your mobile phones and don’t make noise. When the contestants are playing, No entry or exit is allowed."
Ji Xu nodded, and the staff also gave Ji Xu a pass to accompany his family.
Both of them brought their certificates, and proceeded straight ahead and turned left as the staff said. As expected, a staff member was there to receive them at the door. After reading Xiao Yu's information, he took Xiao Yu to her place.
Because the seats were arranged this time, Xiao Yu did not sit with Zhang Bingyu. Zhang Bingyu stretched out his hand to say hello when Xiao Yu came in.
The players are in the first few rows, and their families are in the back, so they can choose their own positions. Ji Xuan chose a vacant seat closer to Xiao Yu, then took out his phone and turned off the sound.
Xiao Yu looked around and unexpectedly saw Xie Haiyun and Fuhui sitting behind.
Fuhui nodded to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also nodded. Xie Haiyun was sitting in a seat three places away from him, and when she saw Xiao Yu looking over, she rolled her eyes and ignored it.
The host said that by drawing lots, Xiao Yu went up to draw 18, which was quite depressed for a while.
A total of 20 people will participate in the finals this time, and the organizing committee will let each contestant play a concerto. Thereby, the champion, runner-up, third runner-up and 46 were selected, and the rest are all outstanding awards.
Zhang Bingyu drew 6th and Xie Haiyun was 13th. The 8 concertos of the competition included Liszt’s E flat major, Tchaikovsky’s B flat minor, Grieg’s A minor, Mozart C major, Beethoven C major, Mendelssohn G minor, Chopin, And the Yellow River Piano Concerto.
Because the final competition was a concerto, in addition to the piano, there was also a band on stage. The 20 people who can stay from all over the country are naturally among the dragons and phoenixes.
There were a few people who knew Xiao Yu, and they were surprised to see her.
"I remember you haven't played for a long time." The person who said this was called Cheng Jiayi, who was two years younger than Xiao Yu and was considered a veteran of the piano. Often participates in some big competitions, the results are also good, but it is impossible to sign.
Xiao Yu remembered her, and said, "I have practiced again in the past two years, and I think it's okay."
Cheng Jiayi raised her eyebrows and did not say anything about her previous technical horror, but she said, "Then you did improve a lot, and you were able to reach the final at the Omi Music Competition. I still remember that you could not pass the Wheeler Piano Competition last year. The audition, did you worship any master?"
Xiao Yu smiled, "Practice harder."
Cheng Jiayi nodded and stopped talking. She was not familiar with Xiao Yu, although she was from the same school.
The people around Cheng Jiayi listened to them and asked her in a low voice "Do you know that woman"
Cheng Jiayi was in other stadiums before, and she hadn't seen this one next to her before. It should have been in other stadiums.
As a result, the person said, "I and Xiao Yu are on the same court. She plays the piano very distinctively and has a very strong personal style. Do you know how many years she has been studying?"
Cheng Jiayi frowned and said, "She has been learning for a long time. I talked to her when I was on the field with her a few years ago. However, she played very mediocre and failed several exams, which made the professor angry. Later, I heard that she did not go to school, and then I saw her twice. She was not as good as when she was in school. I heard that there were two games without money and she was disqualified."
The people around Cheng Jiayi didn't expect it to be so wonderful, and she wowed, and then thought about it, "No, it's like this. The dress on her looks very expensive, it doesn't look like she has no money."
Cheng Jiayi frowned and looked at it. Because the doors and windows inside were closed and the lights were not very bright, Cheng Jiayi could not see clearly, and said, "It should be an imitation. The watch in her hand is the same model as my cousin, only 3000 many."
The man was shocked, looked at Cheng Jiayi, and silently shut up, but in his heart he thought that more than 3,000 is a lot, and a broken watch actually costs more than 3,000.
The rankings are ready, one by one up to perform. Xiao Yu chose Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and only a few of the 20 people chose this piece.
Cheng Jiayi is on the 7th, she is the second to play Chopin's first piano concerto, and her introduction makes the symphony more intense. At the beginning and the end of the introduction, the passage that brings the piano into, she handles more clearly and more vigorously. Her piano sound is very gorgeous, she doesn't care to vent her pride, but it still makes the audience feel lack of grace and wisdom.
Xie Haiyun was the fourth to play Chopin, and she made rapid progress under Fuhui's hands. Her melody at the beginning is beautiful, and her pure classical minor theme is exceptionally fresh. Xie Haiyun’s piano has a soft and deep charm. Fuhui probably explained to her very detailedly. In Xie Haiyun’s piano, he experienced the elegance and aristocratic appearance of the young Chopin. It was an unknown poet-like heart and depressed. Passion.
Xiao Yu looked at Fuhui, who seemed very satisfied, and looked at Xie Haiyun on the stage and nodded.
After Xie Haiyun's performance was over, the judges applauded first, and Xiao Yu even heard some judges say "This should be the best."
"Yes, for so many years, I rarely hear Chopin's first piano piece that suits my heart."
When Xie Haiyun came down, she smiled provocatively at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu smiled back, and Xie Haiyun frowned unhappily.
The sky outside was slowly getting dark, and it was 6 o'clock when it was Xiao Yu's turn, and everyone was a little hungry. At this time, it is very unfair to the players behind, because the judges are also tired and tired. The performance is easier to be stopped, and it is less likely to impress the judges.
Especially when there are various versions, even excellent versions, playing the same version of piano music seems even more disadvantageous.
Zhang Bingyu and the people around her changed positions, and she asked Xiao Yu, "Do you want to consider changing piano music?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, "I will be the next one. Both the orchestra and I have already agreed on the track and stated our own requirements. Now it is too late to change. Besides, I only practiced this piece."
Zhang Bingyu said straight, "It's not worthwhile, Chopin already has 5 people playing, plus you are the sixth."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, after all, Chopin's position in the piano world is special, let alone the special position of this piece."
Zhang Bingyu twisted her and said, "Now that you are still laughing, you are the sixth, do you know what the sixth means? The judges have listened to Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 five times, and the one in front of you was called after only 13 minutes of performance Stopped."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "But even if it wasn't Chopin, many people were stopped later, right"
Zhang Bingyu nodded, "This is because the judges are tired, and the more you need them later, the more you need ability."
Xiao Yu smiled and stared at her, "Your ability is not weak."
Zhang Bingyu smiled and said "I am not a house"
Xiao Yu sighed and looked at the players on the stage and said, "You are a talent, a very good talent."
"You can't compare with Sister Xiao" Zhang Bingyu said, she really thinks Xiao Yu can play very well.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said softly, "I am different."
"What's different"
Xiao Yu raised his hands and said, "I'm practicing with my life" and blessed with the golden finger of 404.
The people around Xiao Yu all gave Bai Xiaoyu a depressed look, as if they weren't practicing with their lives.
A text message came from Xiao Yu's cell phone. She opened it and glanced at it. There was only one sentence, "I am waiting for you in the audience." The sender Ji Xuan.
Xiao Yu turned her head and saw Ji Xuan from the audience. She gave Ji Xuan a thumbs up, then gave her bag to Zhang Bingyu, took off her coat and walked up.
Cheng Jiayi looked at the black dress on Xiao Yu's body, and silently took out her mobile phone. It was indeed the one she saw in the store before, nearly 1 million.
Cheng Jiayi must be a junior. She looked at Xiao Yu’s bun face again. To be honest, it’s not as likely as me to be a junior.
After thanking Xiao Yu, she sat down in front of the piano. She knew that Chopin used the classical concerto genre in the first piano concerto and processed it. It did not apply the principle of playing solo instruments with the band, and only let the piano play a leading role in it. Not much ink to set off.
And this first piano piece can be summarized as the narration of love and the longing of happiness, with gorgeous technique and perfect effect. The music image is bright and prominent, the contrast of colors and the development of symphonic power.
The introduction chosen by Xiao Yu is solemn and played by the band, which gives people a dramatic atmosphere.
The judges felt a little fresh, so they raised a little spirit. After all, I listened for a day, although I had lunch at noon, I took a break. However, at this time, not to mention the hungry, even the physical strength is a bit too much, not to mention the high repetition rate of several concertos, which is good. Those who didn't make a sound were stopped immediately.
Although it is only an introduction, it is really good compared to other editions. Xiao Yu's piano sounded, and with the graceful movements of his hands, the notes jumped out one by one. Now it is the time when Xiao Yu's love affair was first determined, and it is today that the competition has entered the final.
High-spirited and full of pride, her performance is like the green grass that has just turned green in the spring, full of optimism and cheerfulness, and she seems to have hot love only when she was young, and she is not affectionate.
Xiao Yu was indulged in it, with sensitive and delicate touch keys, graceful and stable piano rhythm, clear lines of music, and impeccable technique.
The judges were full of spirits, following Xiao Yu indulged in them, closing their eyes and enjoying. Originally, the most successful one written by Chopin was the first movement, but Xiao Yu popped up the most special third movement, like a deer running arbitrarily. Its uncaring freedom made people suddenly open-minded.
The judges fully felt the kind of enthusiasm, that kind of freedom, that kind of vigor, that kind of despair.
From the stage, Fuhui watched Xiao Yu's hands playing. They seemed to be completely unrestricted. The piano keys were her stage. It waved and pressed freely, and the music came out so natural and beautiful. I lost it.
After the end, Xiao Yu thanked him for stepping down, and the judges rarely applauded. Zhang Bingyu returned her coat and said, "Sister Xiao, you are too professional."
Xiao Yu smiled at her and said, "each other each other."
Ji Xuan’s text message also came, and there is still only one sentence "Welcome back"
Xiao Yu looked back at Ji Xuan behind, and he raised the drink in his hand. He also changed positions with the other person, sitting closer to the contestant's seat, he watched Xiao Yu look over, and passed the drink to her.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to take it, and the two of them were like old couples and wives for many years, and they moved naturally at random.
The two players who went up later were probably affected by Xiao Yu, and they didn't feel like they had exerted their full strength. The judges listened to the two in only half an hour, that is, they were stopped halfway through. Many of the escorts went out and bought some drinks or bread for their family or friends.
As a result, the performance of the two people was forced to end before they could even eat it.
The organizing committee asked the players to go back first, the results were notified at 10 o'clock the next day, and the awards were awarded so that the players were on time.
Zhang Tianyu and Ji Xuan parted ways when they went out, but Xiao Yu was nervous and fell asleep early on the next day.
Looking at the back of Xiao Yu going to bed, Ji Xuan asked Ji Yan gloomily, "Tell me, your sister-in-law and I have been expressing our intentions to each other for two days, but I don’t feel any progress has been made. Do you think there is any way?"
Ji Yan "" Is this thing still available for sale?
Ji Xuan looked at Ji Yan indifferently, and asked "You pay dividends"
Ji Yan "I understand, brother, I know how to get along with my girlfriend."
Ji Xuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, I know you will, don't you have a success rate of 90"
Ji Yan "" I'm really a bit of a mouthful. If I haven't paid the dividend yet, it's not because of this.
Ji Yan asked unsurely, "Then, this year's dividend"
Ji Xuan said, "If you have a sister-in-law, you will get dividends. If you don't have one, you will understand."
Ji Yan covered his chest and almost didn't vomit blood, but I ran out of money waiting to divide it.
When Xiao Yu woke up the next day, he found Ji Yan sitting at the dining table with an aggrieved expression. Xiao Yu straightened his red long dress.
Ji Yan saw it and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, this is just bought."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Your brother bought it and sneaked into my room. Put it on the head of my bed. I will lock the door when I sleep."
When Ji Yan saw his brother act, Ji Xuan said innocently, "I didn't do anything, so I sent a dress in."
Ji Yan sighed, thinking about this, maybe I bought it with dividends
Today on Monday, the three children have to get up early to eat breakfast and then go to school.
Knowing that her mother was going to wait for the result today, Ji Yu gave Xiao Yu a paper-folded love peach and said, "Mom, here is it to you, bless you will definitely win a prize."
Xiao Yu kissed her and said thank you, Xiao Ruoguang and Wen Lie both looked over with envy in an instant.
So Xiao Yu shared a kiss to them, and Ji Xuan also looked over with envy, Xiao Yu gave him a smile.
Ji Xuan "This is too unfair."
Ji Yan suddenly felt that there was no hope in his future life.
The competition is over. Today, because of the awards, the venue is directly set up in the lobby.
There are projection equipment on the stage. For every contestant who receives the prize, the organizing committee will replay her figure and wonderful performance in the final to the audience.
Soon, it was the professional group's turn to announce the awards, starting from the third place. Xiao Yu's mood is a bit complicated, that is, he hopes to read his name, but also hopes that it is not himself.
The third place winner was a boy who played the Beethoven concerto. Although the expression on his face was very happy, he was also a bit regretful. Xiao Yu thought, probably everyone is in the same mood.
I hope I can win prizes, and I hope I can win the championship.
The host came forward to congratulate him and gave him medals, trophies, certificates and a big sign representing 1,000 yuan.
After sending away the second runner-up, the word runner-up began to be displayed on the screen. The host said a lot of live words before saying "Now we are going to announce the runner-up of the Omi Piano Competition. The judges describe our runner-up like this They said that the runner-up piano was strong, powerful, romantic, and slightly sad. The only downside was that the theme was not prominent enough and the rhythm was not too precise, but overall, it was still perfect. Welcome to our Xie Haiyun Miss, come on stage to accept the award."
As the host teacher's words fell, Xie Haiyun scolded an in the audience, but finally went up unwillingly. The screen began to play the highlights of her final at that time, the beautiful piano sound attracted the attention of everyone present, everyone applauded and congratulated.
Xie Haiyun received 2,000 yuan, trophies and medals, and said many words of thanks, and then came down.
The host then talked about some scenes, and then patted the Omi brand piano next to him and said,
Omi piano is one of the leading pianos in Germany. The pianos they make are delicate and beautiful. This Omi piano is worth 150,000 RMB, and the champion will be I will get this piano for free."
The host took a look at the card and said with a smile, "Then who will win the championship of our Omi Piano Competition? The judges and teachers gave her a very high evaluation. My card is densely packed. They said that the champion piano is like a piano. In a wonderful spring day, under a moonlit night, enjoying the pleasant scenery, thousands of beautiful impressions sprout in my heart."
The host smiled and said, "Our judges seem to like the championship. One of the judges said that her piano is a picture of a moonlit night in nature. You can hear the rustling of leaves, the gurgling of running water, and even Nightingale's cry is also faintly discernible. Combined with the champion's gorgeous skills, her piano music has always attracted the attention of listeners with a high degree of poetry and optimism. This is the most important and successful one. Please please Everyone appreciates the first piano concerto brought to us by Miss Champion Xiao Yu. Please watch the big screen."
The screen showed Xiao Yu bowing in the direction of the audience and judges. She sat in front of the piano, even if it was recorded. But as the judges said, the sound of the piano formed a picture in front of the eyes, which brought that kind of positive and optimistic mood, and brought people's enthusiasm for love.
"Will Miss Xiao Yu come to the stage to accept the award"
Xiao Yu looked at the screen above, and listened to the cry, suddenly his eyes were hot, and tears flowed down.
Xiao Yu felt that this was a reward for her hard work, but she could also feel that this was the last trace of consciousness that the original body remained in the body. They were crying for the first award in their lives.
Not easy, not easy, and finally won the prize. This also gave Xiao Yu the confidence and strength to go on again.
"Miss Xiao Yu, Miss Xiao Yu"
"Xiao Yu." Ji Xuan grabbed Xiao Yu's wrist and whispered in her ear, "Wake up, go up and receive the award."
Xiao Yu suddenly woke up. She looked at Ji Xuan and then at the host on the stand.
Ji Xuan kissed the top of her hair and said, "Go and remember, I'm looking at you and waiting for you."
Xiao Yu lowered her head, she shook Ji Xuan's hand and hummed softly.
Xie Haiyun watched Xiao Yu stepping onto the stage and crushed her silver teeth. She actually got another second child, and she was still crushed by Xiao Yu, who was useless.
Xiao Yu took what was in the host's hand and thanked him.
The host asked her "Do you have anything to say"
Xiao Yu took the microphone. She thought about it and said, "First of all, I want to thank everyone, my parents. They gave me life and taught me the piano. They are great and they love me very much. Of course, I I love them too. In addition, I want to thank my boyfriend here. He has been with me from the beginning of the audition. He has to purchase every dress for me personally. Most importantly, without him , I can’t interpret the piano you’re hearing now, so I’m very grateful to him. His ignorance, and love, and in the end, of course, I love you too."
