Author: Mr. Qinzuo, who works hard

The staff member's voice fell, and the surroundings became extremely silent. The contestant who was just about to take the stage couldn't help but stop and look at Fu Tiao behind him in disbelief.

It's not shocking that someone called someone out. During the preliminaries, I heard that judges often call out a contestant to talk to him about the details of the competition. This is very common.

About ten players can see two or three.

But the problem is, the person calling you is the wrong person!

The amazing judge is the piano priestess, one of the top pianists in the world, Marta Argerich!

Currently, he is the most active and one of the strongest judges in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

No, maybe not even one!

Everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, looking at Fu Diao who was standing there, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Since Argerich wants to meet this Chinese player, does that mean that this player can be considered to have entered the first round in advance?

Just when everyone else is still worried about their qualifying results, someone can already enter the first round directly?

This is so enviable!

Of course, it is not predetermined that this place can enter the first round. For example, Fu Tiao found Argerich through the back door.

Rather, it means that Fu Tiao's performance can attract Argerich's attention. At this level, there will definitely be no problems in the first round. Even if it is true, there may not be any problems in the second round.

As for the third round and the fourth round of the finals, although it is not guaranteed, there is still a chance.

In other words, being able to be favored means that Fu Diao has a chance to be a seed player for a short period of time.

"The third contestant! Clodius! Please come on stage quickly! The judges are already waiting for you!"

The staff member responsible for announcing the curtain pushed open the backstage door and shouted to contestant No. 3 who was standing blankly on the steps. Then he woke everyone up and quickly went to do what they should do now.

However, looking at their situation, I am afraid that their mentality will be completely unstable for a while.

Several Japanese people who had been gathering around to take pictures carefully in the distance looked at Fu Diao with great interest, holding cameras to film him from various places in the distance, as if they wanted to record his appearance.

Fu Diao didn't feel the thoughts of the people around him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the distant camera. There was only one question in his mind.

Who is Marta Argerich?

Why is it that when this name is mentioned, people around me look shocked, with admiration and admiration? It’s as if they are seeing God?

According to Fu Tiao's original idea, if someone he didn't know suddenly said that he wanted to see him, he could just refuse it without thinking too much.

But now looking at the situation of the people around me, this so-called person named Marta Argerich, she is definitely a big shot! It would definitely not be good if she refused directly, so what should I do now?

Fu Diao thought for a while, and could only follow the staff to the corner of the concert hall, looking at the man and nodding slightly.

"Okay, I understand. I will go tomorrow night. What time? Where? When?"

"At six o'clock in the evening, it will be in Ms. Argerich's studio. This is an invitation. You can go there by yourself according to the address on the invitation!"

The staff member responsible for delivering the message handed Fu Diao a pure white invitation with great respect, then bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Fu Diao looked at the invitation in his hand, shook his head, and stuffed the invitation casually among his music scores.

The qualifying round has come to an end for Fu Tiao, and he can do whatever he wants in the remaining time.

If you have money, you can definitely travel to Europe at this time and look around.

You don’t want to travel all over Europe, at least you can have a cultural tour of Chopin.

But the problem is, he has no money.

Therefore, Fu Tiao did not go far. He just walked to the entrance of the concert hall and found a shady place to rest.

He didn't have much money on him, so he found a small newsstand and bought a small cup of espresso for five Polish zlotys.

The coffee is made from a coffee machine and has an average taste, just pure bitterness. It does not have the sourness and aroma of good coffee beans. There are still some coffee bean residues under the paper cup.

He used to drink this kind of ordinary coffee beans when he was on the ship, but he didn't get used to it. He just leaned on the outer wall of the concert hall and slowly sipped the bitter coffee in the cup.

The time now is almost half past eleven, and there is no concept of time at all during the performance. The entire concert hall is dark, illuminated only by some dim lights.

When he finished playing the entire piece and looked at the sunshine above his head, he understood why Mr. Broz had been cursing the local government in Warsaw.

The sun's rays don't sting, it's so warm that it makes you want to lie down and sleep.

But maybe it was because of the smog. Even on a sunny day, he felt that the whole city was foggy.

"This city is as gloomy as a boat. I really don't understand why so many people want to come to this place."

Fu Diao shook his head.

He suddenly remembered that when he was on the sea, it seemed to be foggy, but there was water vapor over there.

At that time, she was wearing a black veil and standing on the deck holding a black umbrella, staring blankly at the seascape in the distance.

Everything is a thing of the past. She probably won't wait for him, but will marry as a woman and live her whole life in peace and contentment in a beautiful country. She may even give birth to several children.

After Fu Tiao drank the last sip of coffee, he sighed, reached out and prepared to throw away the paper cup, planning to take the car back.

There were still many people gathered outside the house, seemingly waiting for the results of the players inside.

There were several people with Japanese faces, and they were surrounded by many cameras with the NHK logo written on them.

It's not an interview or a movie, it's just like a vlog recording life, surrounding those Japanese players.

"Does it feel weird?"

A Chinese voice sounded, and a man about 1.9 meters tall with curly hair stood next to Fu Diao, also holding a cup of coffee, drinking it with a smile, and said casually.

"This is NHK, a TV station in Japan that makes documentaries on the Chopin International Piano Competition. They make documentaries every time. During the preliminaries, they start to look for the players who have the ability to become the finals, and then record their performance experiences."

"It's not just the players. When it comes to the main competition, there are also documentaries about the sound engineer and even behind-the-scenes documentaries."

"It's very interesting. If you have time, you can take a look. I have been photographed before, but my level is not good enough. I didn't even make it into the first round, so they just regarded me as a passerby and photographed me.

It didn’t give too many pictures.”

"If you are the kind of person who is awesome, maybe you can have a special screen to introduce your origin."

Fu Tiao turned his head and frowned slightly.

"Who are you……"

"Oh, you don't know me. My name is Yu Tianyou. I have participated in the Xiao Sai twice."

Yu Tianyou grinned, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Xiao Sai requires contestants to be between 18 and 28 years old. I participated for the first time when I was less than 18 years old, and then participated for the second time when I was 23 years old. Now I am 28.

I just happened to be stuck in the timeline and participated for the third time.”

"The third time?" Fu Diao was shocked.

This thing can actually be participated in three times?

According to memory, there seems to be a player who has participated twice, but that player has a chance to enter the finals, and now you suddenly appear and participated three times?

"Yes, I am not willing to accept it for the third time. Who would want to be eliminated in the first round? It's just a pity..."

Yu Tianyou raised his head, looked at the gray sun above his head, and sighed helplessly.

"Although I can enter the qualifiers every time, I might still not be able to get in in this round of 160 to 80. This thing is too difficult, and Chopin's thing is too outrageous. I feel like this thing is just like Bach.

It’s completely different.”

After that, he drank the coffee in the cup, threw it to the corner of the arch pillar, and smiled.

"Okay, I'm going back to the concert hall first to see who is awesome this year. Fu Tiao, you played very well. If I guessed correctly, you will definitely be able to enter the first round this year. As for

second round……"

"What happened to round two?"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Yu Tianyou waved his hand, pointed at the concert hall, and asked.

"Would you like to go? Keep going in and listen? Listen to what other players are playing? Maybe they are all your enemies!"

"Future, enemy."
