After the lottery ceremony was over, the six little ones went about their own business.
Feng Ziyan was dragged to the mall by Zhao Yinuo.
Qi Feng complained that he was sleepy and went back to the hotel to catch up on his sleep.
Because Xia Shu was going to be interviewed by Yamah, Fang Zongyao made an appointment with the other party about the afternoon itinerary and then got in the car with his butler and left.
Qin Jian and Duan Ran originally planned to go back to the hotel to catch up on their sleep, but halfway through they decided to go to dinner first.
"Let's eat first. Once you're full, you can sleep well."
"Okay~"
...
The topic of conversation during the meal was naturally the lottery ceremony in the morning.
Qin Jian spoke frankly about his worries, "The pressure in the third group is indeed not small. Sandwiched between Rachel and Edmundo, you will be under a lot of pressure. You have to cheer up for the first round."
Duan Ran took a sip of spinach soup and let out a very satisfied "ah", then raised his head and said: "First of all, no matter which group I am in, I will be completely energetic."
"Second." She said and looked at Qin Jian with courage: "As long as I don't feel there will be pressure, then the pressure will be on him."
"Well."
Qin Jian was choked by Duan Ran's words. He suddenly felt that what Duan Ran said made sense.
He had always considered Duan Ran from Duan Ran's point of view, but ignored that Duan Ran might be the troublesome character in the eyes of others.
"Don't underestimate me."
Duan Ran did not have any external pressure, she always had, but there was another pressure in her heart, which was the pressure Qin Jian expected of her, but she did not tell him this.
Seeing that Duan Ran had such a mentality, Qin Jian no longer had any worries. He smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Then you are awesome~"
"Be careful to be civilized, Teacher Qin——"
"It's okay, they don't understand."
"That's not OK!"
...
...
After the meal, the two returned to the Baoge Hotel. Qin Jian called home as soon as he walked in.
On the phone, he told He Jing the specific time of his first-round match, "Sister, I'll be there on the morning of the 5th."
After hearing this, He Jing said that she understood. She just asked Qin Jian to prepare for her competition and not to worry about their schedule. "I have already booked the hotel. After arriving in Warsaw on the evening of the 3rd, I will take Teacher Qin and Aunt Fang directly to the hotel.
Yes, you don’t have to come to pick us up. We’ll contact you later based on your situation. Teacher Qin also means the same thing.”
Qin Jian agreed upon seeing this, "Sister Xing, please pay attention to safety on the road and tell me before getting on the plane."
"Also, please ask them not to bring so many things with them this time. It will cause trouble on the way."
He Jing replied to him: "Well, I understand. You should be busy. Pay more attention to your diet and rest recently. If you need anything, call me."
Qin Jian: "Don't worry, sister."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian put the phone away and turned around to see Duan Ran lying beside the bed looking at him inexplicably. He couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Duan Ran asked in a low voice, a little uneasy: "Will I see Uncle Qin and Aunt Fang this time?"
Qin Jian smiled unconsciously and said, "It's up to you."
Duan Ran sat up unwillingly and looked away: "I don't have the final say on this kind of thing."
Seeing this, Qin Jian sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on the other person's shoulder and said, "Then I say you guys meet and have a meal together?"
Duan Ran wrote for a while: "Nervous."
Qin Jian laughed: "Then next time."
Duan Ran turned his little head one day and asked: "When will the next time be?"
Qin Jian thought for a while, and it seemed that he really didn't have an accurate time next time, so he said, "There will definitely be a chance in the future."
From the bottom of his heart, Qin Jian has confirmed his relationship with Duan Ran, so it doesn't matter if Duan Ran and his family meet him, so he still takes Duan Ran's wishes as the main consideration for this issue.
Seeing that Duan Ran didn't respond, Qin Jian continued: "Okay, these things are not important for the time being. Let's prepare for the game with peace of mind. We will see what happens when the time comes."
Duan Ran hummed, "Okay, but you can't force me if I'm not ready."
Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'll follow you."
After receiving Qin Jian's affirmative reply, Duan Ran's brows unfurled. She lay down, rolled onto the pillow, and muttered: "Sleep, sleep."
"When will Uncle Duan come?" Qin Jian also lay down.
"He should have another two days to live," Duan Ran replied.
"So, will your mother come this time?" Qin Jian has been curious about this question for some time.
Duan Ran seemed to have thought of something. He turned over slightly and leaned into Qin Jian's arms. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you afraid of seeing my mother?"
Qin Jian understood this and said, "I'm quite scared."
When Duan Ran heard this, he angrily pinched the ends of his hair and slapped Qin Jian's face, "Huh! Go to sleep."
On the surface, Qin Jian closed his eyes and remained silent, but he was thinking about his answer. Is there anything wrong with it?
But just sleep, and you really need to catch up on your sleep.
Soon the two fell asleep soundly.
...
The camera quickly arrived at the piano audition venue at the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall an hour and a half later.
There are 4 pianos on the stage of the venue.
From left to right they are, yamah-Cf7, Steinway D-275s, Fazioli 308, kawa-skex.
At this time, some contestants were trying out the piano in front of the piano, while others were watching or communicating in the audience. People were coming in and out of the open door one after another.
This afternoon all contestants will come here again to try the piano and finally submit their piano selection information to the competition again.
The piano selected this time will accompany the contestants until the end of the competition and cannot be changed midway.
At 17:50 in the afternoon, most contestants had already submitted their information and left.
At six o'clock sharp, Qin Jian and his two men arrived at the piano test hall. At this time, there was only one player here.
Qin Jian remembered that this player was a Portuguese male player in the same group as Fang Zongyao. He was sitting in front of the kawa playing Chopin's Ballade No. 2.
When they came to the four pianos, the two followed the plan on the road, with Duan Ran trying the Steinway first, and Qin Jian then silently playing Yamah.
Then the Chopin melodies intertwined by three different pianos were mixed together.
After five minutes, Duan Ran was ok. She stood up and looked at Qin Jian.
Then Qin Jian moved from the Yamah to the Steinway, "Why don't you try another piano?"
Duan Ran shook his head, "No need."
Qin Jian nodded and turned to look at Steinway in front of him.
One second later,
He made almost no preparatory movements and directly raised his hands and dropped his fingers.
He chose the same piece of music that was auditioned on CF7 - Prelude in B flat minor.
"Dang-!!"
The rough chords came out fiercely from under the raised castanets as soon as they were pressed.
The Steinway's thick tone is shown to be endlessly gorgeous under Qin Jian's unique arm leaning forward.
At this time, the Portuguese male player in front of the kawa also stopped and looked at the Steinway next door, his face looking a little strange.
At 54 seconds, Qin Jian hit the last set of notes with a bang and stopped.
"waa...aaow!"
The Portuguese male contestant clapped his hands. To his surprise, he actually heard the prelude in B flat minor with almost the same timbre twice.
Yes.
But he also saw with his own eyes that Qin Jian played on two different pianos.
To be honest, his concept was subverted. If he hadn't been there, he wouldn't have believed that this would happen.
Qin Jian helped Qin stand up, smiled and nodded to the Portuguese male player to express his gratitude.
Duan Ran came forward and said, "How is it? Have you decided? Let's try Yamah again."
"I won't try it anymore." Qin Jian waved his hand and looked at the Steinway gold label. For a moment, he said, "Just think of it as a challenge."
After he finished speaking, Duan Ran said "Hmm--".
Then he said playfully, "Congratulations in advance, you will be a future Steinway artist."
Qin Jian smiled and was about to say something when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another man wearing a black hat walking in through the door.
Then his eyes couldn't help but freeze.
...
This black hat player is from Group 10.
But Qin Jian's view of him is different from that of most players.
The nocturne played by the other party in the preliminary round was replaying in his mind, and then he saw the other party looking at him
The two of them, one high and one low, looked at each other through the air.
The other party suddenly smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth.
At this moment, a layer of goose bumps appeared on Qin Jian's arms.
