Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 198 195. Mystery of Thirteen
Saturday, April 12.

Rongcheng Lily Garden.

At 08:30 in the morning, Ji Yang came to class on time as agreed.

"The mental state looks good today."

"Hey, I slept well last night."

Today is the fifth day that she attends class with Lin Youyou. She said she came to find her to attend class, but it is better to say that she came to find a training partner.

Most of the time, she sits and practices by herself. Sometimes Lin Youyou sits busy in front of the computer, and sometimes sits on the recliner with a book in her hands.

"Let's practice."

Lin Youyou then sorted out the contestant information in her hands. As one of the judges in this year's Rongcheng competition area, she will start her first judge tour in her life this afternoon.

Scales - etudes - music.

Following this sequence of procedures, two and a half hours have passed.

After practicing this set, Ji Yang was a little happy. She was only interrupted twelve times today.

She is counting.

She seemed to be making progress compared to coming to class the next day and being interrupted every few minutes.

It was almost 11:30 when Lin Youyou finished her work. She put down her pen and stood up and stretched. She walked behind Ji Yang to watch him play the third movement of Moonlight for the last time.

Then I nodded slightly relieved, I have made some progress in the past few days, and it is not in vain for your teacher to treat you so hard.

"Ms. Lin, can I go to Mrs. Wei for class this afternoon?"

Before leaving, Ji Yang asked Lin Youyou.

Lin Youyou thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow, I'll be practicing at home tomorrow, and then I'll think about that part of the left-hand inner voice."

Ji Yang nodded, "Goodbye, Teacher Lin."

After seeing off Ji Yanglin Youyou started making lunch, went to bed with a full meal and closed his eyes, took a shower when the alarm clock rang, and left the house at 01:30 after packing up.

She has to spend the whole day tomorrow in the concert hall of the Children's Palace in Rongcheng, and there is no time for Ji Yang to come over.

On the way of driving, she was still thinking about whether she should accompany Ji Yang the day after tomorrow.

In fact, the other party can already go to Teacher Wei for class this afternoon.

Arrived at the parking lot of the Children's Palace Concert Hall at 55:[-], and looked out the car window. Among the dense crowd, there were pictures of several adults surrounding a well-dressed child.

On December 12, the second round of competitions in all competition areas across the country started almost simultaneously.

The first to be held will be the Junior Amateur competition.

After finding a parking space with difficulty, she turned off the engine and unfastened her seat belt. She rubbed her sore collarbone. She picked up the co-driver's windbreaker and wore it for a year when she got out of the car. She walked through the crowd to the main entrance of the concert hall.

Zhengyang is just right in the afternoon.

"I won't transform!"

In the corner of the Children's Palace, Wang Xiaohu once again took the attitude of swearing to die.

He is a boy, and boys are determined not to wear makeup.

Xu Li on the other side also lost her patience, and she has been persuading her all morning, but her love will not change.

Seeing that his mother finally gave up, Wang Xiaohu finally applied: "Mom, can I take this too?"

He pointed to the red tie around his collar.

Xu Li stared: "No."

Wang Xiaohu snorted, turned his head, and saw Yu Xiaobei's family of three appearing at the entrance of the hall, changed his face instantly, and grinned.

"Xiao Bei!" He waved hurriedly.

Today, Xiaobei wore a white dress and walked into the hall to look at the densely packed crowd. He was at a loss like a little white flower lost in the way. R turned his head when he heard a familiar voice, and then smiled happily, as if he had found it. It seems that half of the organization has been destroyed, and the whole person is not so nervous.

Walking over quickly, Xiaobei first greeted Xu Li: "Hello, Auntie."

Xu Li smiled: "Hi Xiao Bei."

The two children got together, and the three adults also said hello.

Xiaobei's mother looked around a bit: "It's hard to find a place to park."

So did Xu Li. She parked the car in a nearby parking lot and brought Wang Xiaohu over.

"Mom, can I call Teacher Li again?"

The two children did not know what they were plotting. Wang Xiaohu took the lead in the charge, and Yu Xiaobei was also looking forward to it.

In fact, Li An had already called the two children separately in the morning.

Xu Li and Xiaobei's mother looked at each other, and then took out the phone, thinking that what the children need most at this time should be their Teacher Li.

The phone was connected quickly, and then hung up quickly.

Then Li An's video came, and Xu Li handed the phone to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu switched on the video, then adjusted the angle so that Xiao Bei appeared in most of the camera.

"Hehe, you two have already joined forces."

A familiar voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "Xiao Bei is so beautiful today."

Xiao Bei chuckled, "Teacher."

Then, "Why is Wang Xiaohu not wearing makeup?"

Wang Xiaohu miscalculated, he just wanted to let Xiaobei talk to the teacher, and the teacher told him to put on some makeup on the phone in the morning.

Without waiting for him to react further, "Listen to your mother, this game will be on TV."

Hey, annoying annoying annoying,

At the thought of smearing that white thing on his face, his whole body felt uncomfortable, as if it was covered with bugs.

"Go make up."

Xu Li chimed in: "Did you hear that?"

Wang Xiaohu was heartbroken, and handed the phone to Xiaobei.

I'm softened.
-
[The teacher-student index from Wang Xiaohu dropped to 80]

Li Anxin laughed at this little thing.

In the hotel room, he had just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair when he received a call from Xu Li.

"Xiaobei, don't be nervous."

"Don't be nervous anymore." Xiaobei's classic bared teeth appeared in the video.

"Okay, remember those two pedals, just step on them hard." Li An urged again.

After chatting with Xiaobei for a while, Wang Xiaohu appeared with an aggrieved face, which was actually not bad, but Li An just wanted to laugh.

hold back.

Finally, after giving Wang Xiaohu some instructions, Li An looked at the two smiling faces in the video screen, felt moved, and took a screenshot.

It's even better if it's all over the body.

"Okay, it's almost time, you two are ready to prepare, show the demeanor of our No. [-] piano classroom."

In the video, Wang Xiaohu suddenly stretched out his small fist. This scene reminded Li An of the lounge before the last concert. Then Wang Xiaohu murmured something in Xiao Bei's ear twice, and Xiao Bei also stretched out his small fist.

Li An also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and the three teachers and students punched each other in the air.

"Little Tiger Xiaobei, come on!"

[Wang Xiaohu's teacher-student index has risen to 81]

[Yu Xiaobei's teacher-student index has risen to 93]

After hanging up the video, Ang Lee continued blowing his hair, come on, kids.

He was practicing piano at 3 o'clock in the morning, and received a call from the organizing committee. At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, he gathered in the concert hall of Huaguo Conservatory of Music to participate in the lottery ceremony, and decided the order of the three rounds of competition tomorrow afternoon.

After changing clothes and picking up the phone, a photo was sent by Xu Li 10 minutes ago.

With the chaotic flow of people as the background, Wang Xiaohu and Yu Xiaobei stood side by side, one smiling brilliantly, the other reluctantly.

Li An was thinking about how the two children would feel when they saw this photo ten years later.

Save.
-
If you look at the three rounds of promotion according to the distribution of hotels, Jiger Hotel should be the biggest winner.

Because this hotel provides three advanced players for this round.

Wu Fusheng, Tang Shaochong, Li An.

Lao Tang advanced to the third round with the seventh pick and the second gear at the head.

This is good news for Haiyuan. The two seed players they sent have successfully entered the third round.

Wu Fusheng was not surprised at this point after listening to the videos of all the players in the second round. In his opinion, Lao Tang's performance in the second round was extremely high.

He is very clear about the twists and turns in the game conference room, at least in the second round, if you have absolute strength, you don't have to worry about anything.

Of course, there is also bad news.

Of the seven contestants in the sea academy, he was the only one who managed to register in two rounds and three rounds, and the remaining five were eliminated.

"coming."

When the lobby bar came out, Lao Tang saw Li An walk out of the elevator and got up to set off. The three of them made an appointment to walk together this afternoon.

On the way, Wu Fusheng asked: "What did you do last night, and you didn't come back to play together?"

Wanwan refers to the salon last night, and refers to Xiaoqing's success in the third round.

Last night, on the theme of "One Hundred Scales", Lao Tang played 100 different scales continuously and overwhelmed the audience, and successfully got the score that he wanted for half a month.

The Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. [-] revised by the famous Russian pianist Bunin is a commemorative edition released by the Russian Music Publishing Bureau.

"I will definitely participate next time."

Last night, Ang Lee left the Jiger Piano Art Gallery, passed by the hotel window and saw the lively scene inside, but he didn't go in.

He needs to make a couple of phone calls, and then walk around alone to let go of his emotions.

I called Chen Xuan and heard congratulatory whispers that warmed his heart.

Called Wei Sanwan and got the long-awaited affirmation from the bottom of my heart.

He kept walking, kept walking, until he reached the National Center for the Performing Arts, and looked at the incomparably magnificent building in front of him from a close distance. The emotions accumulated in his heart finally found an outlet.

This is the venue for the finals, and he still wants to walk through the gate with his finalist card on the 26th, but he has no pressure.

The purpose of his trip has been achieved.

All that's left is to enjoy this open three-round stage.

Three rounds of stage - Huaguoyuan Wenhua Concert Hall.

According to Xiaomi, she has won awards on this stage twice, a first prize and a second prize, although it is only an internal competition of the Huaguo Academy.

But this is Huaguo Court after all.

The three of them walked into this sacred place that countless domestic music students yearned for without saying a few words. Lao Tang was fine, but Wu Fusheng naturally didn't like this place.

The last time he came here was still a freshman, he came to participate in a college student cup game, and he hated to lose.

Wu Fusheng led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at the concert hall.

After visiting along the way, the photos are similar to those taken by Chen Xuan's mobile phone, probably because of the season, Li An feels that the campus in winter looks a bit bleak, not as picturesque as Chen Xuan's photos.

All kinds of human voices and instrumental music students from all directions have done a lot for this famous historical school.

The banner of the Xinghai Cup Contest at the entrance of the concert hall was very conspicuous, and several young men and women who looked like students from our school were standing under the banner, chatting and laughing.

It seemed like he didn't care about the arrival of the three of them at all. This feeling was like when Li Ang was in school, when he met the outside unit to borrow their school's concert hall to hold competitions, he didn't feel the same when he looked at the foreign contestants.

Probably as aborigines, they all have an inferior sense of natural superiority.

It wasn't too early for the three of them to come. There were already three people near the entrance of the main hall. Li An had an impression of the boy with dyed yellow hair among them.

Knowing Wu Fusheng, the two of them nodded their heads proactively as a greeting.

They are all contestants who have entered the third round. At their age, which one does not represent the highest level of local colleges in their respective regions? It is considered a face to be able to take the initiative to nod when they are not familiar with them.

Of course, if you are familiar with it, it is another matter.

"Brother Sheng! Brother Chong!"

The three of them had just found a place to sit down when a crisp voice appeared at the entrance of the concert hall.

Wu Fusheng and Lao Tang stood up with a smile: "Glass girl."

Li An had no choice but to stand up again, and he knew that the girl who was walking towards them was Zeng Mengqiu from Jinyuan, who played the piano with a very personal style, and there was a kind of graceful beauty under her fingertips.

It's just that this person looks quite cheerful.

"Zeng Mengqiu, Li An."

Wu Fusheng introduced the two of them, and when the girl offered her hand, Li An also extended her hand, "Li An."

"Just call me Xiao Zeng."

Zeng Mengqiu didn't know Li An before, but after seeing the list of three rounds yesterday, she had never heard of the names of the last four.

Then I specially listened to the video of the second round of the four of them. How can I put it, she admired Li An quite a lot. As a contestant who has been playing games since she was a child, she knows the aesthetics of the domestic judges, especially the northern judges. Li An Dare to deal with it so casually on this level of competition stage, it is really courageous.

As for personal preferences, she doesn't like Li An's stream-of-consciousness style very much, but comparing the four of them, the other party is at least better than the other two.

The three of them were reminiscing about the old days, Li An looked like an outsider at the moment, until Jiang Sheng's arrival.

"hi."

Jiang Sheng walked over and greeted Li An proactively.

As the three players who have been promoted from Group A, the two of them plus Lao Tang can be regarded as hanging on the previous group camp relationship at this moment.

Lao Tang said one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right. After a while, the five people's conversations came together, and they talked about the current round of lottery.

After all, they are all players who have entered the third round, and everyone seems to not care much about the number of draws.

Anyway, Li An really didn't care anymore, even if he was the first one.

Near the start of the lottery, a group of people suddenly walked into the entrance of the concert hall.

Looking at this group of swaggering people, Wu Fusheng stared at the leader and smiled at the person in the middle: "The visitor is not kind."

Lao Tang leaned closer: "You are the one who came."

Li An was convinced by these two actors. During this period of time, he listened to these two dialogues using movie lines every day, and he almost memorized some words.

Jiang Sheng looked sideways, Zeng Mengqiu looked sideways.

The five of them felt like a small group.

With the arrival of Liang Qiuyu and his group, the scene fell into a brief silence. Lao Tang was right, they were the ones who came.

Among the organizers, the Huaguo Conservatory of Music is the organizer, and the little brother Yanjing Conservatory of Music is the co-organizer.

In Liang Chunyu's group, apart from him, there are two contestants from Yanjing Conservatory of Music, one contestant from Shen Yuan Academy and one contestant from the Music Department of Yanjing Normal University.

The players from the three northern courtyards are all in this team, plus Liang Qiuyu's girlfriend and two juniors.

When Liang Chunyu entered the door, he saw Wu Fusheng and Jiang Sheng.

He whispered something to his girlfriend, and then came over alone to say hello to a few people.

Except for Li An, the remaining four people have a little friendship with him.

Jiang Sheng is an old classmate of his undergraduate class.

Starting from Wu Fusheng, a round of greetings came to Li An, Liang Chunyu nodded, and then looked at Jiang Sheng.

Just as he was about to say something, there was another commotion at the door, and everyone including him looked over.

Two staff members with work permits walked into the gate, followed by a brown-haired foreign youth, and next to the brown-haired youth was a yellow-skinned man with small eyes who didn't look like a Chinese.

These two are the overseas winners who were directly promoted this time, Stanislav Yanev from the Music Department of Moscow State University and Park Dong Gun from Seoul National University.

I don't know who in the crowd on the opposite side said, "Okay, this time there are all the people."

That's right, at the moment, all the fifteen contestants who participated in the three rounds of the competition have arrived.

But there was a bit of joking in his tone.

Li An was fascinated to guess what works these two contestants would play in the third round. Yesterday's promotion list did not post the two contestants' pieces, when suddenly a hand was put on his shoulder.

When he turned his head, Lao Tang smiled at him.
-
Although the list formula for the third round did not clearly state that player No. 066 was promoted as a supplementary entry, the announcement clearly stated that Japanese player Tokugawa Furukawa temporarily decided to give up the competition due to poor health.

It is said that the call came from [-]:[-] p.m. Yanjing time yesterday.

"All contestants, please enter the arena for the lottery ceremony."

Familiar voice, familiar feeling.

Everyone moved, Liang Chunyu asked Jiang Sheng why he didn't contact his old classmates this time, Jiang Sheng said everyone was busy.

Li An responded to Lao Tang with a smile. He understood Lao Tang's kindness and expressed his gratitude.

But what does it matter.

In short, it was Ang Lee who stood in the third round of the No.18 Xinghai Cup National Piano Competition.

As for some words, they are just nutrients to motivate him to become stronger.

"Walk."

A group of people followed the two foreign players into the concert hall.

At this moment tomorrow, I don’t know who is sitting under the magnificent stage and playing.

Does the order of play in the third round really matter that much?
Everyone knows it.

The order of appearance closer to the final is more important.
