The Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition is an international music competition named after Queen Elisabeth of Belgium and held in Brussels, Belgium.
Every piano competition attracts outstanding pianists from all over the world to participate.
There are thousands of participants in each session, but in the end there are only five winners. This five-thousandth chance of winning makes this top-level event a feast of international attention.
The winner will receive a monetary reward provided by the organizer of the Elizabeth Music Competition. The first place will be worth up to 50,000 euros, totaling 370,000 yuan, and then it will decrease in sequence, and the fifth place will only have 10,000 euros.
Of course, in addition to the awards from the Elizabeth Competition Foundation, contestants will generally receive awards from their home countries after winning the award. For example, China will treat Chinese people who have won awards in the world's top events.
Rich material rewards, usually ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan, are determined based on ranking.
When the Elizabeth Piano Competition was first held, there were actually many winners who would later become outstanding talents and become masters.
However, since the 1970s, the achievements of the winners have been relatively average, and there are almost no winners who can leave their titles in the history textbooks of various countries.
Over the past fifty years, the influence of the Elizabethan Competition has gradually weakened, but no matter how low it is, it is still one of the top three music competitions in the world, and no one dares to despise it.
As for the Chinese contestants, there are a total of two winners in previous competitions.
One is Shen Congcai, who won second place in 2003. Now, twenty years later, he has grown old and serves as a music professor at the Central Conservatory of Music.
The other was the 2013 winner, Zuoqiu, who won fifth place. Because his ranking was too low, he was at the tail end of the list, so despite all the hard work, he got the first place among thousands of pianists.
The fifth one was quickly submerged in the dust of history after returning to China. He has even quit the music circle and found another way to make a living.
This is the tragedy of musicians, painters, writers and other artists.
Either become the top player in the industry, or be willing to take a back seat, serve as a mentor, educate the next generation, and make a living, or directly cut off all escape routes, withdraw from this circle, and switch to other fields, maybe there will be another bright future.
In this village, you can still make a name for yourself.
After a 13-hour flight, Liao Yuan and others finally landed in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.
The organizer takes good care of well-known contestants. When Liao Yuan and others walked out of the airport passage, they immediately contacted the staff of the Elizabeth Competition Foundation.
Because of the competition, the foundation stationed manpower at the airport, so the two parties could meet quickly. After verifying their identities, a Mercedes-Benz limousine appeared in front of Liao Yuan and others.
"Mr. Liao, please come in."
The waiter helped open the car door, put his hand against the door frame, and said to Liao Yuan with a smile.
Liao Yuan was not polite and entered the carriage first.
The carriage is very long. It seems to be a full ten meters from the front to the rear. It can accommodate more than ten people. In addition, there is a mobile refrigerator in the carriage. After Liao Yuan and others got on the carriage, the waiter immediately
I opened a bottle of red wine for the guests, and in an instant, the entire carriage was filled with the aroma of wine.
Liao Yuan frowned, and Fu Xiaoci beside him quickly took the wine glass, took a small sip, and spat: "It's so bitter!"
When the waiter saw this, he immediately turned around and opened a can of Sprite. After being rejected by Fu Xiaoci, he sat quietly in the carriage and looked at everyone in the carriage with a smile.
Liao Yuan tapped his hands lightly on his knees and closed his eyes to rest. A 13-hour plane journey is really not something ordinary people can bear.
Xiao Peng approached the waiter and asked some questions in English about the current situation of the competition.
The Elisabeth Competition will be launched on April 1st. Competitions will be held at three major venues in Belgium. The first is the audition competition. Thousands of pianists will eliminate one-third of the candidates within half a month, and then
Then enter the knockout round, semi-finals, and finals.
There will be a total of four rounds of competition, and it will take one and a half months to know the final winner and ranking.
The competition has a luxurious and powerful lineup of judges, including more than 50 famous pianists, educators, and conductors.
These people come from more than 10 countries and regions including Germany, Italy, Russia, Austria, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Like the other two major music competitions in the world, the judges of the Elizabeth Competition will evaluate the awards based on the actual performance of the contestants. If they think that no one is qualified to win a certain award, they will accept the vacancy instead of
There will be replacements.
"A month and a half."
Xiao Peng turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you and Chief No. 2 will go to the White House to perform without delay."
Liao Yuan glanced at him: "Shut up."
The latter immediately made a suture motion on his mouth.
Fu Xiaoci slowly swayed the wine glass, and when the wine was almost awake, she began to taste it slowly again. The taste came to her tongue, giving her an illusion of bitterness and pleasure. She coughed and looked quietly.
When I saw Liao Yuan closing his eyes to rest, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his bag. After installing the selfie stick, he logged into the base station account and turned on the live video function.
After nearly a year of return, Fu Xiaoci has become very famous in the base station and has become an outdoor girl. The number of subscribers alone exceeds five million. This is a terrifying number. Outdoors exceeds five million.
There are no human anchors.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see how much water there is, but there is no way. As Liao Yuan's agent, Fu Xiaoci's current social status has been rising steadily, and it is natural for her to be praised by the website.
In addition, Fu Xiaoci has been in contact with many celebrities and artists, and she also has the capital to attract people. Therefore, in external publicity, Fu Xiaoci is often officially announced as the first outdoor lady.
No one will refute this.
After all, when Fu Xiaoci starts broadcasting, he can gain millions of popularity in an instant, which cannot be replaced by other anchors.
"Holy crap, where is this? What kind of car is this?"
"Sister Ci'er is awesome!"
“Passing by soy sauce!”
"Red and fiery, in a trance!"
"I'm done, what about you?"
"The script is wrong. Could it be that I opened it in the wrong way?"
"This is Belgium? Sister Ci'er and Liao Yuan are together? My mother, they are together!"
"The news said that Liao Yuan went to Belgium to participate in a piano competition, but I didn't expect Sister Ci'er to go too!"
"What are you doing standing still? You're stunned!"
"What kind of wine is this? Is it the legendary Lafite 1982?"
“It smells so good!”
"As soon as I came in, I saw Chang Wei calling Laifu."
As soon as the broadcast started, the entire live broadcast room was flooded with countless barrages, and all kinds of obscenities were poured in. Fu Xiaoci seemed to have become accustomed to the speed of the barrages, because they were so fast that she basically didn't watch them.
After all, I couldn’t make out the overlapping words because I was swiping too fast.
Unless a wealthy VIP with the title of emperor asks a question, she will give a serious reply.
Fu Xiaoci quietly pointed the camera at Liao Yuan. After a while, the popularity of one million people began to increase by leaps and bounds, soaring to more than seven million in the blink of an eye.
"Oh my god, it's only been two minutes, so popular? Xiao Yuan is really amazing!"
Fu Xiaoci thought happily, and couldn't help but slowly moved the camera of her phone closer to Liao Yuan again.
