Now Fang Zongyao uses a declarative expression method to deal with long sentences that require cadence, instead of focusing on large-scale embellishments with pen and ink as in the past.
Although the tension of the music is slightly reduced locally, the rhythm of Chopin's music as a whole is greatly enhanced.
Here is Fang Zongyao’s self-interpretation.
As for the other things, Qin Jian hasn't seen it yet, but he has to say that the other party has indeed grown rapidly in Julia over the past year or so.
When he saw this growth with his own eyes, he couldn't help but have some subtle reactions in his heart.
To him, everyone who appears on this stage, even the little chubby boy in his hand——
They are all his opponents on this journey.
...
None of the players who appeared after Fang Zongyao showed their absolute dominance on the stage.
Contestant No. 26 from France even briefly forgot the score when playing the second etude, causing the music to be interrupted.
This is not surprising.
As the old saying goes, in any music competition, contestants are allowed to forget their scores.
Even the Chopin Competition.
However, he can basically be clearly identified as the first one out.
Music interruption is no longer a minor mistake in the ordinary sense.
With the last contestant of the first group taking the stage, at 14:03 pm, the first round of this Chopin Competition has completed 1/10.
The host came on stage and announced the time of the next game.
The audience left the venue in a noisy manner, and many of them had already gone to the lobby to intercept the nine contestants with the top-secret files on 80 people in their hands.
They want autographs and the judges want to eat.
The judges have been working the hardest all morning. They have to leave now to fill their stomachs and take a short rest.
Because they need to return here after an hour to start the next round of listening until 21 o'clock in the evening.
Other players who came to watch the game also left in twos and threes.
"Let's go too."
...
Several people left the concert hall, and the lobby was even busier than in the morning.
After a few steps, Qin Jian saw Fang Zongyao, Feng Ziyan and Zhao Yinuo at the entrance of the corridor.
The two figures who had not yet changed out of their dresses were surrounded by several foreign girls asking for autographs.
Zhao Yinuo looked a little redundant on the side.
Qin Jian just wanted to laugh at this scene, but in the blink of an eye, a reporter came over with a camera behind him.
He noticed the camera on the shoulder of the next staff member, with the Huaguo.com logo on the right side of the camera.
I think the person in front of me must be Tang Feng, the reporter who uploaded the Xiao Sai report in China a few days ago.
Qin Jian thought to himself and turned to look at the people around him, seeking their opinions on the next action.
In the end, everyone decided that Natsuki would stay and wait while the others went to eat first.
"The restaurant is waiting for you.
...
Twenty minutes later, when everyone had almost finished eating, Fang Zongyao and his party of four came belatedly to join the dinner.
After completing the first round of competition, Fang Zongyao and Feng Ziyan looked significantly more relaxed than they had in the morning.
As soon as the four of them sat down, Qi Feng jokingly asked: "What have you been interviewing for so long?"
Feng Ziyan replied: "It's just about the competition. Ask us how we feel about our performance today."
Qi Feng Yile: "What did you say?"
"Does that need to be said?" Feng Ziyan patted his chest: "Perfect—!"
Everyone laughs.
But if we really talk about it, among this group of people, Fatty Feng does have the most relaxed mentality.
On the night of the reunion, he confessed that he had no intention of advancing to the next round at all. He said that he was lucky enough to be on the short list, so he could play whatever he wanted in the first round, and no one could care about it.
he.
In this morning's game, he did exactly that.
Chopin, who has a hint of jazz in his hand, has definitely made many listeners happy.
If we were to select the player with the most personal characteristics this morning, Feng Ziyan would definitely be the number one player.
Qi Feng: "Okay, okay, fat brother is awesome!"
...
The topic of conversation during the meal was naturally the morning's schedule.
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Apart from the two people at the dinner table who had already completed the competition, the ones everyone mentioned the most were the Brazilian girl and the French guy at the end who forgot his music.
Feng Ziyan said that the French guy wiped the corners of his eyes when he stepped off the stage and returned to the backstage.
No one sitting here doesn’t believe this.
They are not only the audience today, but also the players in the next few days.
As an audience, they can listen to this scene as a joke.
But as players, imagine if such a situation happened to them during the game, it would definitely be extremely uncomfortable.
Every player who has reached this point has worked extremely hard, no one doubts this.
After the meal, Qin Jian, Duan Ran, and Zhao Yinuo planned to go back to the concert hall to watch the afternoon game.
The rest have their own arrangements.
Qi Feng: "Go upstairs, take a shower and watch the live broadcast with the air conditioner on. Anyway, I don't have anyone to myself in the afternoon."
Feng Ziyan: "An online explanation?"
Qi Feng: "That's necessary."
...
The second set of games in the afternoon took place as scheduled at three o'clock.
The first one to take the stage was No. 29, a Japanese player from Australia.
His average performance can be used to sum up the entire game.
Yes, the overall performance of the eight players after him was obviously weaker than that of the players in the morning.
This is basically in line with the pre-match grouping situation. The second group, which lacked the preliminary A-level players, did not have any surprising players today.
If I had to give the best player in the game, it should be player No. 35 who played second to last.
Player No. 35 from Russia was able to perform slightly better, mostly due to the major mistakes of player No. 34 before him.
Whether judging from the repertoire design or playing style, Qin Jian can almost conclude that there will be no more than 3 players in this group who can advance to the next round.
This may be a bit too much for him to say, but there are only 40 qualifying places for the next round.
The quota is fixed.
The promotion situation in the first round will only be more severe than the first round.
If a player's own strength is in the middle or lower reaches, and his performance in the new round is no more impressive than in the preliminary round, his elimination is almost certain.
The 17 judges were not sitting in the audience just to talk and laugh.
...
After listening to the competition for a day, Qin Jian's biggest gain is that players with competition experience will perform more stably in a concert hall with audiences present, and players who have won some awards can highlight their advantages.
Stage confidence advantage.
Qin Jian can feel the lack of confidence in some players.
This lack of confidence will be reflected in their small movements between songs, such as their body and eyes.
Some players will subconsciously glance at the audience with their peripheral vision at the end of a song, and some players will shake their legs when switching tracks.
In his opinion, these small details will affect the sense of connection between the tracks.
This creates a sense of separation between the tracks.
Although these have nothing to do with the performance of the piece itself, they are relevant to the entire performance.
'details make a difference.'
On the way back to the hotel, Qin Jian shared his summary with Duan Ran and told him to pay attention to this tomorrow morning.
After sending Duan Ran back to his room, he left Baoge Hotel.
Before leaving, "You lock the door and wait for me in the room."
...
He Jing sent a message saying 'We have arrived at the hotel' at 8:40.
