January 16, 2013, 09:00.
"It's snowing again."
Qin Jian put on his coat and stood in front of the glass window in the room, looking out at the vast whiteness and smiling slightly.
"Sister, let's go out for a walk in the morning." Qin Jian turned around and said.
"Um?"
He Jing was a little surprised. Since the semi-finals, the opponent has been anxiously busy every day, but today, he seems to be a lot more relaxed.
But it’s okay, I really should relax a bit today.
He Jing thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Okay, where do you want to go?"
"Just go to Yanjing Conservatory of Music."
...
As the final day of the Huayun Youth Music Skills Competition arrived, the first heavy snowfall of the year also fell in Yanjing.
Yesterday, in the Chimes Concert Hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts, there were only violins and pianos.
After the final competition of each sub-event, the top three in each event have been determined.
After the official video of the ‘Classic and Junior’ event went viral on the Internet in vain a few days ago.
At the end of the first final day of the Huayun Competition.

It seems to be creating a certain atmosphere for the final day of the Huayun Competition.
.....
At 16:30 in the afternoon, the violin finals came to an end.
finally.
Xier Aili, who was recommended by the Xinjiang Provincial Musicians Association, relied on Wieniawski's "Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor" to surpass the Yanjing Musicians Association, which was highly anticipated before the competition, with a slight difference of 0.06 points.
The recommender Jin Yang.
Won the violin championship in one fell swoop
After the game, when the entire judges' table was still arguing.
During the dinner, a female judge left early. For her, judging was just her job.
As the results of the violin competition were finally announced, her work was over.
But for her trip to Huayun Competition.
There is one unfinished business waiting for her.
...
17:00.
In the last two hours before the piano category finals
In a huge backstage, Feng Ziyan, Duan Ran, Qi Feng, Zhao Yinuo, and Fang Zongyao were doing the final adjustments and exercises on the piano that they would play tonight.
Every piano is surrounded by several technicians.
There was only one piano in front of it and no performer.
An old foreign man wearing a leather apron was lying under the huge soundboard, adjusting the strings in the high range little by little.
His movements were so slow that you could barely see the tool in his hand moving.
But every once in a while, the sound of his strings will change slightly as he fluctuates.
Time passed little by little, with the sweat on the old man's temples.
...
Not far from the Grand Theater, in a small restaurant next to the subway station.
"Qin Gang, I'm nervous." There was a hint of instability in the woman's voice.
On a small table, with one dish, one soup and two bowls of rice, Qin Gang and his wife sat facing each other.
"Why are you nervous? Just treat it like watching a concert." The man's voice seemed much calmer, "Eat quickly. After eating, let's go to the Grand Theater early to wait."
"Well," the woman said humbly, looking at the almost untouched rice in the man's bowl, "you should also eat quickly."
"I'm stuffed."
The man sighed softly and took out his phone again to check the time.
...
17:30.
In a room of the Eight Days Inn.
There was a rustling sound from the shower in the bathroom.
Outside the bathroom.
He Jing picked up a square box from Qin Jian's bedside table.
More than ten days have passed, and a thin layer of dust has fallen on the box.
Gently wiping away the dust with her hands, He Jing took out the black tuxedo from the box.
Start organizing.
When Qin Jian wiped his hair and walked out of the bathroom, his crisp three-piece tuxedo had been neatly spread out on the bed.
After drying his hair, Qin Jian took out a new roll of gauze and wrapped his left hand again.
He has become accustomed to looking at the jumping white left hand during the performance.
"Hurry up and pack it up," He Jing handed the tuxedo to Qin Jian, "There's still one hour."
ten minutes later.
Qin Jian looked in the mirror and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Under the straight black tuxedo jacket, the exquisite white lining perfectly highlights the elegant temperament of the whole person.
He Jing helped Qin Jian straighten his tie, looked it up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, let's go."
Qin Jian straightened his tight collar and said, "Aren't you going with me?"
"You go first, the contestants have to enter the venue early."
"Okay, sister, please hurry up.
With a click, Qin Jian left.
He Jing looked at the time, "17:43."
Then he threw the phone aside.
I came to the mirror and took out the cosmetic bag that I hadn't opened for a long time.
...
18:15.
National Theatre.
Inside the Chime Concert Hall.
The stage, lighting, recording, and venue temperature were all ready after the final inspection by the technicians.
18:00
As the flow of people outside the Grand Theater gradually became denser, on the stage of Chime Bell Concert Hall, various concert ensembles had completed the final tuning.
18:30
All eight entrances to the concert hall were open, and audiences began to enter.
Audiences who had been waiting for a long time came in droves.
The bell hall became noisy.
From the seats on the first floor to the seats on the second floor, surrounding the center of the stage, the terraced auditorium was completely dark, and almost every area was filled with people.
...
Gradually.
The atmosphere in the finals venue, which is the last game, has quietly arrived.
Twenty-four cameras were raised simultaneously from different locations in the venue.
All live broadcast windows are also opened at this moment.
19:00.
With the long tolling of three chimes.
The golden light in the hall slowly spread from the center of the stage to the entire venue, and the entire music hall was bathed in a golden ocean.
After a moment of intense noise, the audience gradually became quiet.
On the stage, behind the rows of music stands arranged in a trapezoidal shape, there are neat rows of black seats.
On the stage behind the last row of seats, in the center are four timpani of different sizes in a circle. Snare drums, bass drums, tambourines, triangles, sound trees and other percussion instruments are lined up horizontally.
It exudes elegance under the warm light.
Next to the podium directly in front of the stage, a giant black grand piano is waiting quietly.
At this moment, facing the empty stage, the loud voice of the male announcer rang out in the quiet hall.
"The 6th Huayun Youth Music Skills Competition."
"Piano Section."
"finals."
"Now it officially begins."
At the same time, a man wearing an exquisite navy blue dress and exquisite short hair walked up calmly from the side of the stage.
"At the opening ceremony, Mr. Shen Qingci, the internationally renowned pianist and representative of the piano category jury of this Huayun Competition, gave a wonderful performance to everyone."
As the host finished his speech, the man sat in front of the piano.
The moment I dusted off the back of my dress.
I saw him raising and lowering his hands.
“Dangdangdang————”
The solemn chords are about to explode with intense catharsis.
Bach's Toccata Fugue in D minor was played in the mysterious Eastern country.
