Qin Jian didn't know that Shen Qingci was going back to Yanjing today.
"No, school has already started, and there are still many things to do at school." Shen Qingci said, "I will feel relieved after seeing you two. Then I can just perform normally."
Shen Qingci looked at Qin Jian, "Remember what I told you last time."
Qin Jian nodded vigorously twice and gritted his teeth, "Okay~Brother Shen~"
Shen Qingci was amused by Qin Jian's words, "Okay, I'm leaving. You two should pay attention to your safety." He got into the taxi.
As for the others, Shen Qingci felt that he didn't need to give any more advice. Both of them were players with experience in international competitions.
The two watched the car leave, "What did the teacher ask you to remember?" Duan Ran became curious.
Qin Jian: "That's quite a lot."
Duan Ran: "A secret that cannot be told?"
Qin Jian: "You can't say that."
Duan Ran shrugged, "Okay, then I won't ask."
Qin Jian hugged Duan Ran's shoulders and walked in the opposite direction of the car, "The teacher said - 'The preliminary round is very important, even more important than the first stage of the main competition.'"
Duan Ran: "That's it?"
Qin Jian: "This sentence is the most important."
...
At exactly 15:30 in the afternoon of the next day, Qin Jian and his two men arrived here again. According to the schedule manual issued by the organizing committee, Duan Ran's piano test time was this afternoon. Qin Jian insisted that Duan Ran come and try again. After all, it was yesterday morning. He spent most of the time trying out the piano, and then the two of them had to submit the chosen model.
Today, the lobby of the Warsaw Concert Hall is much livelier than yesterday. As soon as the two entered the door, the chatter of various languages was like a hodgepodge. Whether they were fair-skinned blonds or dark-skinned bald people, everyone had hangings hanging around their necks. Participant ID card.
They also have one thing in common, they are well-dressed.
The two of them were each wearing a hat and overalls. They looked very out of place among the other players, not to mention their height.
"Why do we have to wear hats?" Qin Jian asked in a low voice as he looked at the crowd around him.
"Because I didn't wash my hair." Duan Ran said neatly like a cool guy.
"What about me?" Qin Jian felt aggrieved. "I even took a shower before going out!"
"Oh, you don't understand!" Duan Ran smiled and rubbed the back of Qin Jian's head, "Shun Shun Mao."
"?"
Qin Jian didn't understand this even more.
13:35, it’s time for Duan Ran’s audition, “Wait for me.” Duan Ran lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the venue for yesterday’s audition. The music inside could also hear the sounds of some other contestants, which made him Qin Jian felt a little itchy.
Qin Jian followed Duan Ran's example and showed his player ID, and was about to walk in gracefully.
But the staff member politely extended his hand and blocked him from the door with a smile.
"Okay." Qin Jian forced out an awkward smile.
Ten minutes is a long time or a short time.
Qin Jian returned to the lobby and took a stroll, observing his opponents.
Just when he felt a little bored, two figures appeared outside the lobby door and caught his attention. It was not only him, but also other players.
Not only the male players, but also many female players also looked at the door carefully.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of the two figures.
"is her."
Qin Jian determined the identity of the other party immediately because the pair of purple pupils were so special.
He also didn't expect that the other person would have such a face after taking off the mask. Although Qin Jian admitted that he admired the temperament of oriental women more, this face was indeed a bit distracting.
He felt that this woman looked exactly like Matilda from "The Killer Is Too Cold", although she did not have short hair like Matilda.
Qin Jian hid under the brim of his hat and watched the woman walking in front of him boldly and directly.
The woman walked towards the passage where the piano was to be tested, but Qin Jian didn't follow her eyes, and he couldn't go in to listen, so everything was meaningless.
But he really discovered the benefits of wearing a hat.
About five minutes later, Duan Ran walked out of the passage and said, "Okay, it's 274s."
Qin Jian: "Has it been recorded?"
Duan Ran curled his lips and said, "Recording is not allowed inside."
"Oh," Duan Ran said and Qin Jian immediately reacted, "Then let's submit the results."
Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the door of the Warsaw Concert Hall.
"Let's go back to the hotel directly." Duan Ran said.
"What's the matter?" Qin Jian asked, "Let's have a meal and then go back."
Duan Ran: "I want to eat rice noodles again."
Qin Jian: "Didn't you just finish eating last night? There are only three packs left."
Duan Ran chuckled: "You still want to eat~"
"Okay~Okay~" Qin Jian raised the brim of his hat. He decided to send three boxes of rice noodles to Duan Ran as soon as he returned to Yanjing.
Just as the two of them walked to the street, a taxi stopped in front of them.
The red rear door was pushed open and Fang Zongyao got out of the car.
When Fang Zongyao raised his face, he didn't realize that two old acquaintances wearing hats were looking at him blankly.
His face froze and turned to stone instantly.
Qin Jian: "Didn't you say in the group that you would come to try the piano tomorrow morning?"
At this moment, a little head came out of the car door.
Look up.
"Ah, Duan! You are so cool today!"
...
...
In the following period, Qin Jian and his wife, who vaguely lived their lives as a married couple, basically stopped going out every day because someone brought food to them.
However, the piano in the room was rarely idle anymore and kept playing from morning to night.
There are so many repertoires that it is no exaggeration to say that every day in the room feels like a concert.
If tickets for this concert are sold, many people will probably be willing to pay to attend it.
During this process, the two people listened to each other, pointed out suspected problems to each other, and sometimes argued from the piano to the bed because of disagreements.
But without exception, the winner in the end was Duan Ran.
Qin Jian doesn't feel that he has really lost. He took advantage and still doesn't act like a good boy?
This little life of not envying mandarin ducks or immortals seems to have just opened the curtain on the two people's life in Warsaw preparing for the competition.
Wake up with the morning light every day and have dinner with the sunset.
In this warm hotel room, even the official start of the 17th Chopin Competition seemed to have lost its flavor.
But this can't be blamed on them. Firstly, there was no opening ceremony in the qualifying rounds, and secondly, they couldn't listen to other players' performances.
The organizing committee arranges two preliminary competitions a day, the first one is from 10:00 am to 14:00 pm every day, and the second one is from 17:00 pm to 20:00 pm every day.
The seven-hour-a-day competition will last for ten days until all 160 contestants from all over the world have completed their works.
The appearance numbers in the preliminary round were randomly chosen by the computer, and both people were ranked in the last three days.
So the two of them simply went on to the end without leaving home.
This is also an excellent way to recharge your batteries.
Compared with the world outside the room, the busiest thing is not Warsaw, but the world's major music media and the Internet.
The music media has greatly promoted the luxurious jury lineup and 160-person roster of this Chopin Competition.
On the Internet, bold analysis and predictions of "who will advance" on the public list of 160 people have begun. This can also be regarded as a way for classical music lovers and netizens to participate.
"Look at this, it makes me laugh to death."
Qin Jian was lying on the dining table translating documents when Duan Ran ran over with his cell phone.
“How do you view Qin Jian’s actual playing quality?’
"This -" Qin Jian didn't expect that his name would be listed on something.
Duan Ran smiled and said, "Click in and take a look, it's very exciting~"
Three minutes later.
"Isn't this nonsense?!"
"I bet most of the people who answer this question have never played piano."
