678. A mysterious old friend appears elegant and vulgar?
Qin Jian was shocked. When he walked into the revolving corridor, his back felt a little cold. This had nothing to do with sweating.
He felt that he should apologize for the small A note on the piano just now.
But Steinway should give itself an explanation.
He returned backstage dripping with sweat and was greeted with cheers.
The host, director, staff, and official reporters backstage all had excitement written on their faces, except for the Steinway technician.
Everyone who knew him or not applauded Qin Jian's performance just now.
Little Fatty Duan did not come forward, but she was the most excited one present, looking at Qin Jian with big eyes.
Qin Jian felt itchy when he saw it.
The host stepped forward and interacted with Qin Jian. He praised in English, "You are so great!" and then returned to the stage to conclude the game.
The first game ends today.
The rest of the people backstage watched the excitement for a while and then dispersed to eat. They will have a new group of work to do soon.
Only the official host and Steinway's adjuster are left.
Qin Jian asked Duan Ran to wait a moment.
With that said, he walked up to the bearded lawyer and explained what happened at the last moment of the stage.
No one expected such a problem to arise.
The bearded man felt very guilty. He was the one who tuned the piano. Although the problem with the strings really had nothing to do with the tuning, he was the person in charge of the piano standing here.
In previous Chopin Competitions, there have been cases where contestants encountered piano malfunctions during the competition. This kind of thing always has a sense of randomness and surprise.
Whoever is caught is unlucky, and the piano technician will definitely not be able to escape the unlucky one.
Fortunately, Qin Jian's broken string incident happened after all the songs were played.
Otherwise, the consequences would definitely be enough for a bearded man to drink a pot.
Qin Jian's identity is not only a popular player in this competition.
At the same time, he is very likely to become a future Steinway artist. This word spread in the Steinway headquarters a few days ago.
Big Beard assured Qin Jian that such a situation would never happen in the next game. These words also seemed to congratulate Qin Jian on his very likely advancement.
He was unhappy, but as someone who knew a little about tuning, Qin Jian also knew that breaking strings had little to do with tuning.
After receiving the other party's assurance, he did not continue to waste the two's time. After a final negotiation, the bearded man left.
Qin Jian signaled to the official reporters waiting on the side that he could conduct the interview.
The reporter led the way, and Duan Ran accompanied him to the door of the interview room.
"Do the interview with peace of mind, I'll wait for you."
As she spoke, she wiped the sweat off Qin Jian's forehead and straightened Qin Jian's collar.
He took two steps back, looked up and down, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Go ahead~"
Qin Jian followed reporters into the room.
...
The interview here is about to begin.
The audience outside the venue had almost dispersed.
Outside the gate of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, Iglaz pulled Shen Qingci to have a meal together first. He complained that Shen Qingci didn't tell him the last time he came to Warsaw, "We have to have a good drink today!"
Unable to refuse the hospitality, Shen Qingci had no choice but to call Liao Linjun, told him about the situation, and asked him if he wanted to come with him.
Liao Linjun was naturally unhappy, but she knew the relationship between Shen Qingci and Yiglaz. The two had not seen each other for more than ten years. There must have been a lot of whispers during this meeting. Thinking of this, she did not say anything else.
, "I'm not going, why don't you drink less? By the way, remind your good friends to drink less too? In addition, you are only allowed to drink, and you will die."
After receiving the approval, Shen Qingci grinned and put on the phone with confidence.
He looked at Yiglaz: "Let's go."
Igraz thought his old friend had really changed? He tried, "You guys?"
Shen Qingci responded: "Well, come to my wedding on the 24th next month. I didn't have time to tell you in the morning."
Ygraz shook his head and sighed: "Then we have to hurry up and drink a few more drinks."
Shen Qingci smiled: "Old place?"
Yigraz snapped his fingers: "Correct."
While talking, the two middle-aged men walked towards the opposite side of the street? It was still this street, or it was still the posture of arms around each other.
It's just that last time there were three high-spirited people, and last time Shen Qingci still had long hair.
Did the two of them just cross the road? The jury also walked out of the concert hall door.
As soon as Branjano stepped down the steps, he saw the familiar figures on the other side of the road. He slowed down and subconsciously raised his hand to loosen his tie.
"I thought he would never come back to this place again."
At this moment, Alto came to his side. His eyes also fell on the pair of figures on the other side of the road.
It fell on the long braid on the back of Ygraz's head.
Among the judges, everyone was still discussing the morning's competition. Andrzej, who was talking to Argerich, also saw the long braid. He was still smiling.
...
...
Interview room.
Under the camera.
Two people facing each other.
"Interesting answer."
The reporter couldn't help laughing, "So what kind of person do you think Chopin should be?"
Qin Jian thought for a while: "He is a human being, haha."
Reporter: "Tell me about it?"
Qin Jian: "He is a normal person just like you and me. He is indeed a poet, but the poet's description of him has been over-exaggerated, and historians have written even more exaggerations, causing future generations to have some misunderstandings about him."
"He liked different women, and sometimes he couldn't figure out why he chose George Sand in the end and was later dumped (laughs)."
"Of course there may be something wrong with him here. Love has always been like this."
"He is very weak and often suffers from insomnia. When he can't sleep in the middle of the night, he plays the piano and writes a few songs. Well, he is a very normal person."
Reporter: "Indeed, so you are such an ordinary person in life? As far as I know, you have also had creative experience and are also a performer."
Qin Jian: "No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person who likes to play the piano, and my sleep quality has always been very good."
Reporter: "Now you have a very high voice, and the outside world is discussing your possibility of winning the gold medal among this contestant. What do you think of this?"
Qin Jian: “If I could take away the trophy just by performing a concerto in the finals, of course I would be happy, but in fact it is not that simple. Every contestant can take away the trophy after performing a concerto in the finals.
, maybe you won’t be able to see me in the next round.”
Reporter: "But your performance today received an enthusiastic response from the audience."
Qin Jian: "It would be really scary if the audience could decide the direction of the game."
Reporter: "How would you rate your performance today?"
Qin Jian: "Full marks, except for breaking one string."
Reporter: “Can you tell me who your favorite Chopin players are?”
Qin Jian: "Well - this question is too difficult to answer."
