The moment when Branjano’s reading jumped directly from No. 52 to No. 57——
Robert, who was leaning under the stone pillar at the left door of the lobby, thought that his ears had missed something just now.
He straightened up and looked blankly at Branhanu on the stairs, as if he hadn't realized what was happening.
But in just a moment, his triangular eyes blinked several times very quickly.
Then the picture in front of him began to blur, and there were no other sounds in his ears.
He squatted down in a daze and inserted his hands into his hair unconsciously.
He felt that his emotions were collapsing.
This scene was recorded by a camera in the hand of a Polish reporter.
Robert was out, and this information was noticed by too many people present.
'A native Polish pianist did not enter the second round of the Chopin Competition'. If it were just such a title, everyone would just laugh it off. Even a middle school student in Warsaw has heard this more than once in this city.
title.
But Robert's performance in the first round is obvious to all. Even if he is not a Polish pianist, he is just an unknown person who entered the Chopin Competition by mistake, and his performance should have entered the second round.
This is especially clear in the minds of many players, because there were some names that should not have appeared in the promotion list just now.
Players will not lie about what they say in their hearts.
Because they sit in the audience, they are also judges in a sense, although they cannot give scores.
Qin Jian was deeply impressed by Robert's performance, and the two of them went on stage one after the other.
If Qi Feng's defeat was a high probability event in his opinion, then Robert's defeat was nothing less than a blow to his head.
"Contestant No. 63 Tamili Salimjanova, from Russia."
He doesn't understand.
"Contestant No. 65 Alexei Tastark, from Belgium."
The names of Fred, Estafeva, Adams and others were not absent from the subsequent reading.
The last player to advance is No. 73, a Japanese male player from the United States.
When Branjano finished reading the name of the last contestant, 'Wow——————————'
There was thunderous applause in the lobby, and the applause was given to the 40 players who advanced, and it was also regarded as a practice for the remaining 37 players who were about to leave this competition.
At the subsequent press conference, Branjano once again answered questions from journalists from various countries.
The reporters’ questions basically revolved around the first-round promotion list and the jury’s views on the first-round performance of contestants from various countries.
When a Polish reporter asked about Robert being out, Branjano bluntly said that Robert was an excellent Polish pianist."
He then said, "But the Chopin Competition has always been like this. Any player must be prepared to leave at any time. Regardless of the player's nationality and reputation before the competition, the jury finally believed that he could not continue, so he left.
That's it."
American reporter: "As you said, in your opinion, his elimination is the first upset in this competition?"
The angle of this question is a bit tricky. Branjano replied calmly: "The competition actually started at the beginning of this year, with overseas video collection, closed preliminary rounds, and then to now, so you should understand that each round
The final result is a collection of all the opinions accumulated by each judge from several rounds. These opinions are like the fifth competition that we are still chattering about to this day. Which of those great names won the final gold medal?
Wouldn't it be called a so-called upset?"
"Even Chopin's piano works are full of unpopular ones, aren't they?"
"Thanks."
China Reporter: "Mr. Branjano, did you just mention the term 'the judges' cumulative views on the contestants'? Will the judges' scores in the final stage also refer to the contestants' previous rounds of performance?"
?”
Branjano: "That's right? This has always been the case? So we often tell players to take every round seriously."
The press conference lasted until half an hour later. Finally, Pakenro took the microphone and announced the schedule for the second round.
Then the reporters dispersed, and the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall also entered the closing state early at 19:45.
Like the judges? It will still be open at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
In a Chinese restaurant near the concert hall? The atmosphere at the moment is pretty good.
Are Zhao Yinuo and Qi Feng organizing a celebration for a few people at tonight's dinner? Aso Natsuki took the initiative and did not participate.
Without waiting for the press conference, several people came here directly after the announcement.
For the six little ones, whoever leaves the field early will make people feel uncomfortable? But they must recognize that this is the fact of the game.
Fortunately, the two people who left early were in good spirits.
During the meal, Qi Feng kept criticizing his ex-girlfriend? He said that if the other party hadn't broken up with him one month before the game, he would have been better prepared.
This doesn't sound right, but everyone can tell that at least when he said it, he looked a little distressed and was still thinking about that girl from Fujian province named Sun Xiaolin.
What about Zhao Yinuo? She previously said that she has put all her energy and psychology into preparing for next year's Chai Chai competition. This time she is here to get together with everyone and experience the Warsaw stage.
Even so, several other people could still feel her inner loss from her state.
This is the same for everyone.
Everyone knows Zhao Yinuo's arrogant character? So no one took the initiative to comfort her, except Feng Ziyan who looked gloomy from time to time as if he was the one who failed to advance.
If we go by the tastes of the judges of the previous Chopin Competition? Feng Ziyan's promotion is really intriguing.
But no matter what, regardless of individuals, the competition between the six little ones of Huayun is still going on.
"I wish you four good luck in the rest of the game!"
"Madman, you take the lead this round, come on!"
Before the game ended, Qi Feng blew a full bottle.
He gave a few people drinks because he was liberated and he wanted to drink.
...
...
After working for a long time, Qin Jian and Duan Ran finally returned to the hotel.
After entering the house and locking the door, the two hugged each other gently under the entrance hall.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations~"
"Let's take a shower."
"No, hold me for a while longer."
"good."
Qin Jian bent down and hugged the princess, "There's no competition tomorrow anyway, let's change to a better place."
...
...
The second round of competition will continue in full swing tomorrow morning, still starting from the 'F' group.
New lists will naturally form new groups, and new groups will be talked about again.
After a wonderful first round, the audience is looking forward to the scene of the collision between the destiny players in their hearts and other strong players.
In the new round, there will no longer be etudes of fighting.
The review standards of the judges will also be raised again in all aspects.
Ballade, mazurka, polonaise——
This symbolizes that the three mountains of Chopin's folk music are the dangerous hurdles that the contestants must conquer next.
The mountain road is rugged.
Only the winners can meet at the top of the mountain.
