Today is a nice day. Qin Jian got up early and came to the piano room.
Compared with the busy days of the past few days, he has gradually been able to organically combine his piano practice time and plans in the past two days.
"There's only one last performance left the day after tomorrow."
Just after finishing his morning exercise, Qin Jian got up and stretched.
Fantasizing about the end of the performance the day after tomorrow, Qin Jian felt a sense of relief long in advance.
If I count carefully, it has been almost a month since I returned from Warsaw.
"It went by so fast."
With emotion, he scanned the tattoo on the back of his hand again, and couldn't help but smile.
He never expected that a performance of only 16 minutes could actually gain nearly 10,000 points of admiration. Such a huge reward made him want to upgrade.
The 40% off shopping card in the last synthesis formula has made him have strong expectations for the new functions of the next stage of space.
However, seeing the value return to 20,000+, Qin Jian was reassured but also did not dare to be really upset.
Endure it until the Chopin Competition is over.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the piano room door.
Qin Jian just picked up his phone to reply to Duan Ran's message, then put down his phone and stepped forward to open the door.
"Brother."
outside the door.
Behind Xia Shu, Shen Qingci's expression was very calm.
...
Paris during Yanjing time.
Duan Ran was tossing around on the bed holding his cell phone, his hair still a mess.
Little Fatty Duan couldn't sleep since four o'clock in the middle of the night in Paris. She couldn't sleep, and she couldn't bear to disturb Qin Jian's piano practice. However, she didn't say that she wanted to continue sleeping. She only told Qin Jian, "It's okay, don't worry about me, you can practice in peace."
That’s it”
As a result, more than three hours had passed, and Qin Jian really listened to her words, and there was really no movement at all.
"This dead man!"
"snort!"
Duan Ran was grumbling, but she wouldn't be like this normally, and she wouldn't be unable to sleep at four in the morning.
It's just that today is a bit special. Today is the date when the qualifying results will be announced.
“What if I don’t make it to the next round!?”
When she thought about not being able to enter the next round, she felt that she would not be able to stay in Warsaw all the time in September. She felt very irritated when she thought about not being able to stay in Warsaw all the time in September.
Suddenly his phone lit up and Duan Ran hurriedly sat up and opened the message.
Let it go: tight or not (bad smile)
Duan Ran wanted to laugh inexplicably when she saw this vulgar expression, and then she made a video call.
But he was rejected by the other party at the first time.
Let it go: Wait a moment and I’ll call you.
Duan Ran thought for a while and murmured with his cell phone, wondering if the other party was in the piano room?
Duan: Aren't you in the piano room?
Let it go: I haven't left yet
Duan Ran saw another message from the other party and made another video call.
This time, it didn’t take long for the video to be connected.
But the first thing that appeared on the phone screen was not Qin Jian, but Shen Qingci sitting in front of a piano playing "The Dream of Love".
Duan Ran covered his mouth and quickly hung up the video.
Duan: You didn’t even tell me you were in class!
After a while, Qin Jian's video call came back.
Let it go: Teacher Shen and Xia Shu came right after I finished practicing and was about to send you a message.
Duan: Oh, I know. Just get busy and don't worry about me!
Let it go: If nothing happens, just let it go.
Duan: I love you~
Clicking send, Xiaopang Duan threw his phone aside and happily got out of bed to find something to eat.
...
New York in Paris time.
Two hours ago, the opening ceremony of a unique music competition was just completed at the Juilliard Hall of Music at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
This is not so much the opening ceremony of a piano competition as it is a new product launch, although the New York Steinway Company is indeed the general praise of this - the Fifty States Piano Competition.
At this opening ceremony, New York Steinway Company released an upgraded version of their new product D-274 - D-274s.
This new product will not only be launched simultaneously around the world, but will also serve as the only designated piano for this Fifty States Piano Competition, and will then replace the original D-274 in the official competition of the 17th Chopin Competition.
, a Steinway piano choice for players.
The airborne performance by Steinway artists from the United States also added a lot of brilliance to this special opening ceremony.
Finally, Hefner, the current director of the Juilliard School of Music, made the final speech. He wished the 132 contestants from 95 schools a good performance in the upcoming competition.
Broadway is just across the street from the Juilliard Music Rooms.
On the roadside, next to a black car, three young Chinese people, two men and one woman, were chatting and passing the last time.
To be honest, Feng Ziyan was already very sleepy. If it weren't for accompanying Zhao Yinuo and Fang Zongyao, he wouldn't even bother to attend tonight's opening ceremony.
In a convenient hotel near Broadway Avenue, He Jing was also waiting. Although she felt that Qin Jian was definitely fine, she still couldn't sleep peacefully until the results came out.
...
At this moment, people all over the world who are paying attention to the results of the Chopin qualifiers are waiting day and night.
...
It’s exactly nine o’clock in the morning in Warsaw.
Location: Chopin Institute, press conference of the 17th Chopin International Piano Competition.
Media reporters from various countries had been waiting in the audience for a long time. When Scklena, director of the Polish National Chopin Institute, led a group of staff to appear on the scene, the audience was filled with the sound of cameras clicking.
Everyone was staring at the sealed document bag in Atul's hand.
Then, in front of the cameras of media from various countries, Shklena opened the document bag.
The results of the preliminary round of the 17th Chopin International Competition were announced in public.
One name after another with nationality came out of his mouth.
If he didn't announce a qualified player, he would wait for about two seconds and then announce the next player's information.
His voice was calm, his face remained calm, and he spoke very slowly.
But no one at the scene felt that his speaking speed was slow, so after he read out the information about the last selected player from China, the scene fell silent, as if they were still waiting for him to continue.
After reading the list in his hand, Shklena handed the list to the international arbitration notary on the side, and then left the venue.
The following press conference was hosted by Lech Nin, the office director of the Chopin Institute.
He first congratulated the 80 players who were shortlisted for the main round, and then announced that the official competition will officially start the first round on September 20. The players shortlisted for the main round need to rush to Warsaw to report again one week before the first round.
Finally, after the final date was announced, the question and answer session with reporters began.
"Mr. Lekning, the Chopin International Piano Competition has been quite controversial in recent years. What do you think of today's Chopin Competition?"
A male reporter from the United States was the first to raise his hand and post an article, alluding to the scoring turmoil that has occurred in recent Xiaoxing competitions.
