Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 212 209. Preheating for the Finals!she's here, she's here

Xiao Hongxia received a call the day before yesterday and learned that her apprentice Chen Xuan was coming to Yanjing to see her, she was full of joy.

It's not that I went out to buy vegetables early in the morning, and I plan to cook for myself at noon.

At the moment she was busy in the kitchen, when she heard the doorbell ring, she put down her work and wiped her hands twice on the apron, and walked towards the entrance while wiping.

Opening the door, seeing the slim figure outside the door, she was filled with emotion for a moment. She remembered the scene when she first met Chen Xuan, who was still a little girl at that time. kind of little woman.

"teacher."

A familiar teacher gave her no time to recall the past.

"Come in, come in."

Chen Xuan giggled, went in and put down the things in her hands. Seeing the teacher's apron wrapped around her waist, she knew that the teacher was cooking, so she took the initiative to ask for help, and her words were not unfamiliar.

In the kitchen, the long-lost master and apprentice naturally asked each other about their current situation first.

Xiao Hongxia is still the same, she attends classes every day, engages in teaching and research, is invited to participate in some competitions as a guest judge, and maintains her health and flowers after work.

Her son has already married and settled abroad, and even if she wants to take care of her, she can't stretch it that long. In her own words, it's okay, just take a leisurely break.

Knowing what the teacher said, Chen Xuan was still looking forward to the family being together. Everyone in Xiao's class knew that the teacher had a serious illness because of his son's reluctance to return to China.

However, judging from the teacher's current state, he has probably put aside a lot of things from that year.

"Xiaoxuan, pick two garlics for me."

Chen Xuan took the garlic.

Xiao Hongxia: "Your parents are in good health."

Chen Xuan: "Very good"

When asked about Chen Xuan's parents, Xiao Hongxia couldn't help thinking of Chen Xuan's going abroad, which was one of her regrets.

"Tell me, this trip is coming."

At that time, Chen Xuan said on the phone that she would come to see her. She was naturally happy at the first time, but she knew that the other party must have other things to do when he came to Yanjing. ran to see her.

Being punctured face to face, Chen Xuan was not ashamed and said shyly, "Teacher, I'm in a relationship."

When Xiao Hongxia heard this, her subordinates stopped immediately. She knew very well that she, a young student, hadn't had a date in college for four years.

But it's been three years since she graduated, and it's normal for an obedient girl to fall in love. She just connected the purpose of the other party's trip with this answer, and all she could think of was, "Boyfriend from Yanjing, it's you guys." Which male student from grade 14?"

Chen Xuan shook her head and replied, "He is from Gansu Province and plays the piano. This time he came to Yanjing to participate in the competition. The final is tomorrow. I will accompany him."

piano?Tomorrow's final?
There are piano competitions held almost every month in Yanjing, but for the final tomorrow night, all Xiao Hongxia can think of is the Xinghai Cup Open Youth Group competition.

Huaguoyuan is one of the organizers of the Xinghai Cup competition. As a teacher of Huaguoyuan, she still has a certain understanding of this competition. If she can enter the finals of this competition group, it would be a good idea to be placed in their courtyard. Resounding presence.

"Okay."

Xiao Hongxia's expression seemed to be very sure of Chen Xuan, a boyfriend she had never met, "What does he do?"

Chen Xuan: "Piano teacher."

Xiao Hongxia nodded, and asked cautiously with a half-talking smile: "Look at your major, how do you know each other?"

moment.

"We are colleagues."

Xiao Hongxia was taken aback.

Then just listen, "Teacher, I'm living in Rongcheng now, working as a flute teacher."

Xiao Hongxia always thought that after Chen Xuan was forced to give up going abroad, she stayed in Yanshi to take the exam. From a certain point of view, Kaogong gave up the flute.

This is the regret in her heart. She has always thought that Chen Xuan is an absolute good seed.

She knew that Chen Xuan loved the flute, so she didn't ask what the other party was doing on the phone, including just now.

However, at this moment, she suddenly learned that the life of the other party for the past two years was very different from what she thought.

a long time.

She sighed and laughed.

"Tell me about it. Let me tell you how you went to Rongcheng. It couldn't be because of your boyfriend. Then your father will be so angry."
-
Grand Theater Concert Hall.

On the stage, Jiang Sheng is playing the second movement of K271.

Ang Lee and Hou Zhentao in the audience were discussing this work in depth.

Through the chatting yesterday afternoon, the two got to know each other better outside the arena.

Ang Lee admires Hou Zhentao's ability to pursue his dream of becoming a band conductor in such a stressful employment environment.

Hou Zhentao appreciates Ang Lee's meticulous attitude towards the piano as a working piano teacher.

In his opinion, music is pure, and only pure people can go higher and further in this matter.

So when Ang Lee asked him one question after another about the score of the k271 band, he took the trouble to explain it one by one.

During the entire communication process, like Qin Yong, he also found that Li An had a relatively professional understanding of a large number of orchestral instruments.

At noon, Hou Zhentao invited Li An to have dinner together, and the two had a harmonious lunch in the restaurant of the Grand Theater.

Ang Lee left after the meal.

According to the plan, he will go back to sleep.

After watching the rehearsals of four people in a row, he has already made a clear understanding of Mr. Xie's rehearsal habits, and the next step is to gather enough energy to meet his first and last rehearsal before going on stage tomorrow.

After leaving the National Center for the Performing Arts, it was already 12:30 in the middle of the day. Li An sent messages with Chen Xuan while strolling towards the hotel.

Bawanyi: Sleepy when you're sleepy
Xiaomi: I want to lie down and sleep~
Bawanyi: Go back and lie down for a while?
Put away the mobile phone and open the hotel door, the lobby in the afternoon was a little quiet, only the piano competition on the big screen repeated in a low voice.

Li An suddenly stopped.

In front of the long table at the wine counter, a lonely figure waved his hand at him with a mobile phone. The smile was the one he was familiar with.

Li An was sure that his expression at this moment should be rippling.

Then he walked quickly to the bar.

In front of the crowded little bed, without too many questions and conversations, the two young people expressed their deep thoughts with their body and eyes.

Don't win anything.
-
It was time to sleep, but it was not the right time to sleep. In just one and a half hours, they all fell asleep.

The alarm clock rang at 02:30 on time, Li An opened his eyes and turned off the phone alarm clock.

Looking at the beautiful face beside him who was still sleeping soundly with a trace of tiredness, he leaned over and kissed the other person's forehead, then got up and got out of bed.

He took a shower and changed his clothes, and left the room card next to Chen Xuan's cell phone before leaving.

He is more confident about the co-production in the afternoon.
-
At [-]:[-] p.m., the official website of the Xinghai Cup Piano Competition, the official website of the National Center for the Performing Arts, and the official website of Huaguo Conservatory of Music released a side video at the same time.

The beginning of the video is the speech of the international piano superstar Lin Lang. As the most important and internationally influential pianist in Huaguo in the international classical music scene, Lin Lang once told reporters in an interview that he will never forget the first The fifth Xinghai Cup National Children's Piano Competition, it was the victory in that competition that gave him the starting point to bravely climb to the peak of his career.

In the video, Lin Lang cheered for the six contestants of this year's finals, hoping that everyone can perform at their best, and at the same time wishing that the Xinghai Cup competition will be better and better.

In the video, apart from the well-known pianist Lin Lang, several other pianists also gave speeches for this year's open group competition.

Without exception, they are all winners from the Xinhai Cup.

For a while, people in the circle forwarded the video one after another, which brought a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the three major organizers put the interview VCR recorded before the final of the six finalists on their respective media accounts.

At the same time, official cooperation platforms such as Weibo and Douyin also joined this massive publicity campaign.

After a while, the popularity of #No.18th星海杯猫琴维final# showed a rising trend.

Today is no longer the same as it was years ago. The niche classical music is still niche, but the piano has entered thousands of households.

At 18:[-] p.m., the largest LED advertising booth of the National Center for the Performing Arts was suddenly replaced with a poster of 'No.[-] Xinhai Cup National Piano Competition Open Youth Group Final'.

In the poster, six young men and women in gorgeous dresses are in high spirits.

The tourists coming and going couldn't stop, and some people seemed to suspect that they had seen one of them in the public hall not long ago.

So far, the online and offline publicity work has started simultaneously, and the organizing committee has officially warmed up for the finals tomorrow night.

At this time, in the main concert hall of the Grand Theater, the strings were playing together, the strong Mozart was not brought, and the breath was continuous, and the piano sound interspersed with it was endless.

On the stage, Ang Lee in front of the piano communicated with the old man after the first co-production, and this time the performance became more and more free and smooth.

As the band ended brilliantly at the end of the passionate coda, Xie Ganzheng on the podium put his hands on his chest and shook them hard.

The entire concert hall fell into silence.

Ignoring the discomfort coming from his waist, he immediately walked to the piano, leaned close to the music score and said, "Let's try to transpose this place according to your thinking."

Li An nodded. Now that the two rounds are finished, there is only one last question left.

The rest seemed to him close to perfection at this stage.

After thinking about it before going to bed last night, he finally figured out that he should listen to his inner voice and play according to his own ideas.

Originally, after listening to Mr. Xie conducting the orchestra yesterday, he planned to follow the music frame of the other party.

Boss X is right. From a certain point of view, the piano performance must follow the heart, at least the part of the self must be adhered to.

It was this point that caused many small problems in his first co-production, but it was these small problems that made Mr. Xie's eyes shine frequently.

One old and one young, you and I, discussed a plan for a band concerto belonging to Ang Lee.

After the old man told the band, he stood in front of the piano and waved his hand. The band rang and the piano started. After 3 minutes, the old man waved his hand.

He asked Li An with a smile, "Any more questions?"

Li An wiped off the sweat on his forehead, "It's all right."

Then he stood up and bowed deeply to Xie Ganzheng, then turned around and bowed to the band teachers.

Xie Ganzheng: "Okay, the rehearsal is over here, take a good rest tonight, and try to show your best tomorrow."

Li Ang: "You also have a good rest."

In the past two days, he has witnessed Xie Ganzheng's entire rehearsal process. The old man only sat down for a while when they were resting. This professionalism is really admirable.

It is his honor to have the opportunity to cooperate with such an old artist with both virtue and skill.

The harvest of this trip to Yanjing is really too much.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After getting off the stage and packing up his things, Li An bid farewell to Hou Zhentao again, and left from the main entrance of the concert hall. He noticed that Liang Chunyu, who finished the co-production with him before him, left from the side entrance.

Both of them watched the other party's rehearsal process completely. He didn't know what the other party gave him, but his evaluation of the place was not as good as Wu Fusheng.

In fact, at this point, Ang Lee already has the answer in his mind about who will be the champion of this final.

If his three rounds of supplementary recording were only due to an accident, then it should not be a surprise that Wu Fusheng won the No.1 in the final.

Lin Youyou said that she only listened to Wu Fusheng and Jiang Sheng's Chopin, and the two were on par.

These words are indeed objective, but I don't know if Lin Youyou will think so after hearing tomorrow's final.

Speaking of which, the other party should go to Yanjing in the next two days, and the work in the Rongcheng competition area is over. Yesterday Ji Yang sent him a message saying that yesterday was the last time she went to Teacher Lin's house.

On the way back to the hotel, Li An called Lin Youyou to ask.

The call is connected.

"Hey, Mr. Lin, have you arrived in Yanjing?" He asked easily.

On the phone, "The plane tomorrow morning, please tell me quickly, I'm driving."

Li An didn't intend to speak at all, but when he heard that the other party was busy, he gave up the idea of ​​speaking, and hung up the phone after a few simple chats.

Before hanging up the phone, Lin Youyou said cheers to him.

Then he called Ji Yang again and asked how he was doing in Teacher Wei's class this afternoon.

Xiao Ji said it was very good, and then said a little excitedly, "Teacher, I am about to send you a message. I just saw that you have to be interviewed, and you are so handsome!"

Li An laughed dryly, "I'm still not sure when I'll go back, so it's up to you these days."

Ji Yang: "Understood! Don't worry, I won't waste your time. I'll wait for your live broadcast of the online game tomorrow night! Bye, teacher."

Ji Yang's phone was hung up here, and Li An called Wei Sanwan again to report on today's rehearsal results.

Wei Sanwan kept cheering Li An, "I can't leave, otherwise I will definitely go to see your final stage in person."

Li An understands that the art exam is approaching, and the teacher is the busiest time of the year recently, "Thank you, don't worry, I will try to show the best spirit of the piano department of our Rongcheng University."

Wei Sanwan yelled on the phone: "Okay! I'll wait to see you."

The master and apprentice chatted for a few more minutes, and Wei Sanwan asked Li An to go to eat quickly, and then hung up the phone.

Not long after he hung up the phone, the living room door rang.

Liang Huilan looked at the door and saw that Youyou had come.
-
Lin Youyou came to Wei Sanwan today for two things.

The first one is about the negotiation of EPTA during her trip to Yanjing.

The other one is about Ji Yang.
