708. The Coronation of the King of War Songs! Sister's Mind
The spectators and tourists are far less calm than the players.
They chattered about the upcoming final list.
All 21 players were present.
Under the lens of reporters, they came alone, in pairs, or stood together with family and friends.
Today's announcement was attended by many internationally renowned heavyweight pianists.
Most of them were invited to attend tonight's concert.
Nobuyuki Toshii was here. Five minutes ago, accompanied by his assistant, he walked into the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall for the first time.
He will directly participate in tonight's concert as a yamah player.
Of course, work only accounts for a small part of his trip.
...
"teacher!"
A familiar shout came, and Shijing stretched his eyes with joy.
Then he turned towards the sound.
"teacher."
He noticed that this time the sound stopped about one meter away from him.
Nobuyuki Tokai smiled and raised his hand in front of him.
A light aroma came to my face.
He knew that Xia Shu had come to him.
"Long time no see, Xiao Xia Shu." His voice was gentle.
Aso Natsuki's little face was so excited that she never dreamed that she would see her teacher here.
Ten minutes ago she learned that her teacher had arrived in Warsaw and had already arrived at the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.
She put down her phone and rushed from the hotel.
Following him and feeling the scene together was naturally Master Fang.
"Hello, Teacher Shijing." Fang Zongyao nodded and said respectfully.
It can be seen that he is cautious again.
Waiting for Nobuyuki Toshii's reaction, Natsuki gently pulled Fang Zongyao to Nobuyuki Shii, and introduced him in Japanese with a shy face:
"Teacher, this is my boyfriend, Fang Zongyao."
...
Far away, Qin and Duan were hiding in a corner and quietly watching the show.
...
On the left side in front of the two of them, a black Moroccan man is holding a curly-haired baby in his arms, and his wife is standing next to him.
...
The camera is looking to the left. Today, Rachel is wearing a high ponytail. She looks very heroic. Her agent is looking around alertly.
...
Ivanov and Adams were only separated by an audience, one looked uneasy, the other expressionless.
...
The Brazilian girl was the first contestant to arrive at the scene. She stood at the forefront of the crowd just like the previous two times. Today, she was accompanied by her father, a fat brown-haired man with a big belly.
...
Thirty minutes passed by in a flash. When Liao Linjun took Shen Qingci and Iglaz into the lobby, Branjano's figure also appeared at the stairs on the second floor.
The people who accompanied him were Andrzej and Paloken.
"Just in time."
Ygraz raised his head and looked at the three of them.
The three of them stopped at the outermost circle of the crowd.
...
The hall soon became quiet, and the exciting announcement of the finalists finally arrived.
Although it was only one night before the third round ended, it was not an easy night for the 21 players, the audience, the media, and all participants.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the paper in Branjano's hand.
This time, what he held in his hand was no longer a piece of white paper, but a piece of red paper.
Branjano calmly stepped forward and picked up the microphone.
I simply greeted everyone in the hall, which was not a good start.
Fortunately, he never liked to titillate people, and then he picked up the red page.
"There are eleven contestants in the finals this time."
After his words fell, the audience started talking.
This result was not what most people predicted.
However, with the 21 people who advanced in the previous round, the 11 people who advanced in this round are nothing to be surprised about.
Soon everyone's focus returned to the specific quotas that were about to be announced.
"Contestant No. 01 Natsuki Aso, from Japan."
"Wow————"
Applause rang out in the lobby. This is the custom when the finalists are announced. Every contestant who enters the finals will receive applause.
Shijing Nobuyuki's heart dropped.
"Xiao Natsuki, you did it, you entered the finals."
Natsuki on the side clenched her fists excitedly, "Thank you, teacher! I will continue to work hard!"
Although Fang Zongyao, who was standing behind Xia Shu, could not understand the Japanese conversation between the master and the apprentice, he thought he had some words of encouragement.
"Congratulations Natsuki." He also said.
"Congratulations, young master." The butler in gray beside him also whispered congratulations into his ear.
"...."
The applause fell.
"Contestant No. 03 Tuukas Bayliss, from the Netherlands."
Applause again!
Bayliss covered his mouth in disbelief and exclaimed amid the applause. He felt that he was favored by the goddess of luck again.
The promotion of player No. 3 made Ivanov even more nervous. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, he had deduced various promotion scenarios in his mind countless times.
He thought player No. 3 would not advance, but his opponent did.
The applause fell again.
Ivanov's mind went blank. Who could be 'No. 7, No. 9, No. 12'? He was already confused.
"Contestant No. 09 Ivan Sergey Ivanov, from Russia."
As the third qualified contestant was announced, the audience burst into warm applause again.
Ivanov squatted down on the spot with his head in his hands. Perhaps the Russian young man needed to calm himself down.
Anyone who knows the situation in the third round knows what Ivanov went through at that moment, so no one will find him strange.
This is a kind of loss and recovery.
Because based on Ivanov's overall performance in the third round, it won't surprise people that he was eliminated.
"you win."
Yiglaz gave Shen Qingci a thumbs up.
"You are wrong, the Russian judges won."
Shen Qingci replied calmly.
...
"Contestant No. 12 Rachel Dora, from the United States."
The applause is loud again.
Rachel's promotion was expected by everyone.
Even her agent didn't show any excitement at this time.
Rachel calmly waited for the next contestant to advance.
"Selection No. 13, Si Ran, is from China."
The first person to take the lead in applauding was none other than Shen Qingci.
Like Nobuyuki Tokai, he was also relieved.
On the other hand, classmate Duan Ran raised her little face and saw that her name was still lit up on the big screen, and she let out a soft 'um'.
Then he looked to the side and asked speechlessly: "Is this how you get promoted?"
Qin Jian smiled: "See you in the finals."
...
"Simon Edmundo, a contestant born under 15, is from Poland."
The applause resumes.
The same is expected.
"Contestant No. 24 Fang Zongyao is from China."
Going directly from the 20th to the 24th, this means that the little lolita on the 23rd and the black guy on the 20th said goodbye to their Chopin Competition at the same time.
The black man raised the baby in his arms amidst the applause. He looked happy and did not look like a loser.
His black wife held his arm as if to cheer her husband up
The Brazilian father and daughter in the front row looked a little lonely under the applause.
"Contestant No. 37 Li Xianlong is from Singapore."
The bespectacled boy in the corner heard his name and confidently pushed up the black frame on the bridge of his nose.
But the fluctuations in his heart were not as calm as he showed.
His forehead was covered with sweat.
So far, eight contestants have been announced, with three spots left.
