658. The game is heating up! Surprise is not an accident
Athletics is a continuation of war in peaceful times. It doesn't hurt to say this.
Peaceful times are always happening, and real wars never die out. They will hide in one place and sprout in another.
There is a wall between light and darkness, and there is heaven and earth on both sides of the wall.
Ido sat on a transparent stage and completed his Chopin Public Competition debut. We still don’t know the judges’ score, but the audience gave him their enthusiastic applause.
Especially when Ido skillfully picked up his crutches and took his final call, no one could not express their admiration for this lame Syrian young man from the bottom of his heart.
It's not just the applause of the live audience.
Outside the venue, around the world, music fans and netizens sitting in front of the screen, whether they were in the day, afternoon or dusk and dawn, also used subtitles to give Ido great support.
It is not difficult to see that if the piano competition held in the morning of October 4, 2015 in Warsaw is regarded as a battle, then Ido should have won the battle.
This may be a kind of spiritual comfort for the land that has been subject to constant riots and wars in recent years and has been labeled as "civil war" and "world energy pattern".
This is a victory for Ido.
It is also a victory that belongs to the banner of SY.
Maybe after this round of competition, people will suddenly say, 'Oh, it turns out there is still piano music left in Syria.'
It's not a small episode.
The game continues.
...
The next round of competition started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and players No. 45 and 53 began their battle for qualification.
At the same time, at the entrance of a small restaurant in the old town of Warsaw, mother and daughter Duan Ran and Lin Chaoge also concluded their morning trip.
Lin Chaoge wanted to keep Duan Ran at her place for the night, but his daughter refused.
The reason Duan Ran gave was 'I have to go back and accompany him to prepare for tomorrow's game.'
"Sorry, Mom."
In response, Lin Chaoge could only roll his eyes at the lucky boy and stated that he would definitely go to the game tomorrow to watch Qin Jian's game.
"Wish him good luck."
With Lin Chaoge's blessing, Duan Ran happily returned to Baoge Hotel. She was very happy today.
When she returned to the hotel, Qin Jian had not returned yet. She estimated that he was still watching the game with Fang Zongyao in the concert hall.
She sent Qin Jian a message, and then used this time to iron the dress Qin Jian would wear on stage tomorrow.
When the straight dress was hung up in the closet again, the door under the entrance door rang.
Qin Jian is back.
...
After Qin came back, the two briefly exchanged today's itinerary.
Then Duan Ran quietly sat back on the bed and stopped talking. She felt that Qin Jian seemed to have entered a certain state again.
She has been through this situation many times.
From the backstage rest room of the Huayun Competition finals to the lobby of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, the opponent will enter a state of self before each competition.
It's just that this time it seems to be a little earlier.
...
There were still about 20 hours before the first round. During this entire period, he did not read music or listen to music. He mostly stood quietly in front of the window and looked out the window.
Even Duan Ran didn't know what he was thinking about at this time.
During this period, Duan Ran accompanied him to a restaurant for dinner, and he answered four phone calls around 10 o'clock.
One is from He Jing, one is from Liao Linjun, and one is from Fatty.
The first three phone calls were all just a few words.
The last call was from Shen Qingci. The call took a bit long.
Duan Ran vaguely heard Shen Qingci mentioning revolution on the phone.
But after the call ended, she didn't ask anything.
At 23:00, the two of them were getting ready to rest, and Duan Ran asked him if he wanted to sleep in separate beds tonight.
Qin Jian said no.
...
Early the next morning.
9:20.
Qin Jian put on a straight dress and left Baoge Hotel accompanied by Duan Ran.
As soon as they left the hotel, they saw a large flow of people across the street.
The front door of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall is busier today than yesterday.
...
The process of the game was the same as the previous two days. At 10 o'clock sharp, the bell rang in the music hall to start today's game.
After the female host introduced the judges one by one, the scene became quiet.
The occupancy rate today was basically over 95%, which was the first time in three days that the venue was nearly full.
If this happens during the first round, it must be due to the presence of Polish players in this game.
There is no doubt that there are many Polish spectators at the scene today, and they are here for No. 56 Polish native Dimitri Robert.
Of course, players from other countries also have support, and most of the players’ families and mentors will come to the scene.
Than Qin Gang's family of three? Maybe we can also add Lin Chaoge, who is sitting not far in front of them.
Although Shen Qingci and Liao Linjun were both absent from this event, they both called last night.
In addition to the audience, there are also player seats.
There were really a lot of faces in the contestant seats today? As for the Chinese contestants, except for Qi Feng, Qin Jian and Duan Ran who were backstage, the other three and one Xia Shu were all present.
Rachel, Liang Kecheng, Li Xianlong? Ivanov, Little Loli? Fred? Park Changki, Estafeva? Duccio, Edmundo and other popular and powerful players? And other less popular players?
They all appeared together.
Everyone appeared at this scene by chance.
Maybe it's a tacit understanding, maybe it's for other reasons.
After the host introduced the personal information of the first contestant to take the stage today, they applauded together.
Serial number 54, the female contestant from Germany started her performance.
The piano she plays is yamah? Her opening number is Winter Wind.
Her first chord in the introduction with a balanced volume was not loud enough to produce an instant catchy effect? But she soon realized this problem? Then she continued to adjust her strength and speed during the subsequent fast running.
But to no avail? The whole song appears hasty and weak due to the lack of a strong beginning.
However, she recovered a little in the second etude after the revolution.
In the third Nocturne, she performed better. The bright changes in timbre made the audience gradually ignore her mistakes in the revolution. Unfortunately, she made two wrong notes in the last Scherzo.
In the end, she ended up with regrets. The fate of the German female contestant No. 54 can only depend on whether the judges are willing to focus on her nocturne.
Next up was the third Chinese player, No. 55 Qi Feng.
He has been studying piano in Poland since high school. Among the six Huayun children, Qi Feng is the one who has received foreign piano education the longest.
The performances of his four works all have more or less the shadow of the Polish school, which can be felt by the judges on and off the stage. This is one of the reasons why he was able to advance to the 80-person short list in the preliminary round.
It's just that although Qi Feng didn't make any mistakes during the whole performance, she always gave the audience the feeling that she was on par with the German female player just now.
This may be related to his overall performance, as his performance today lacked passion.
The love accident that happened in August made it difficult for him to cheer up at this time? Maybe there is also this reason.
The game continues.
The Polish player No. 56, Temitri Robert, came out next and received huge applause as soon as he appeared.
Polish players do have home field advantage.
Even Qin Jian, who was waiting a few walls away, felt this.
