It was already 23:15 when Qin Jian returned to Baoge Hotel.
As soon as he entered the room, Duan Ran surrounded him.
Qin Jian took off his coat, and Duan Ran took it and hung it up obediently.
The two sat on the bed and chatted for a while before going to take a shower.
Before going to bed, Qin Jian held Xiao Yi's music score and leaned against the bedside to read it again.
At 12 o'clock, the two of them turned off the lights and went to sleep.
At 1 o'clock, the little fat guy in his arms was already fast asleep, and Qin Jian couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He tried various methods to force himself to sleep, but the effect was not good.
"By tomorrow, the results of the competition should have spread all over the world."
When he thought of this, his heart beat faster for no reason.
Finally, he discovered that he was still nervous about tomorrow's game.
He was nervous about the result.
"Are you afraid of losing?"
In the darkness, he dug out the deepest question that had been buried in his heart since the beginning of the game.
a long time.
"Not afraid."
...
Another long time.
"But I want to win."
...
...
On October 20, the 17th Chopin Competition ushered in the final final day.
Just tonight at 21:00, a new generation of Chopin Music Prize winners will be born at the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.
Starting at 8 o'clock in the morning, all TV media in Warsaw focused their cameras on the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall.
Supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls, office buildings, streets and alleys, every public screen displays the final countdown.
The whole of Warsaw has entered a countdown to the unveiling, and all Warsaw people are waiting for the arrival of that scene.
No matter which face ends up standing in the center of the screen, today is a holiday for Warsawites.
At 10:20 in the morning, Qin Jian slowly opened his eyes from the bed.
He couldn't even remember when he fell asleep, but he felt that he had a good sleep.
"Wake up."
Duan Ran's voice came. He stood up and saw the other party placing a breakfast on the dining table, "Are there any omelettes?"
"Of course." Duan Ran said with an "I understand you" expression.
Qin Jian gritted his teeth and stood up from the bed, "Awesome!!!"
Duan Ran laughed and said, "Why are you so crazy? Go and wash up."
Qin Jian got down from the bed shivering with his head against the chicken coop, and when he passed by Duan Ran, he sneakily attacked him.
"ah!"
Duan Ran exclaimed.
Qin Jian didn't wait for Duan Ran to react, then quickly ran into the bathroom.
"Like a child~"
Duan Ran smoothed down her skirt and continued to arrange breakfast while muttering in her mouth. She had no intention of doing anything.
...
After a hearty breakfast, Qin Jian went over Xiao Yi's band score again.
At 13:40 noon, Liao Linjun called and asked to meet him.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."
After Duan Ran sent Qin Jian out, he went through his suitcase containing clothes from beginning to end.
She has to be the most beautiful girlfriend on such an important day today.
...
Sika Restaurant, only 200 meters away from Baoge Hotel.
As soon as Qin Jian walked into the main entrance of the restaurant, a waiter immediately recognized him, and then people in the restaurant looked at him one after another.
Everyone seemed to have seen some big shot.
Fortunately, Qin Jian has adapted to this kind of scene recently, and he will smile politely when passers-by take the initiative to smile at him.
Liao Linjun waved and he walked over.
"Sister Lin Jun"
Qin Jian thought Shen Qingci would also be there, "Where is Teacher Shen?"
"He went to the venue." Liao Linjun pushed over the menu, "Would you like something light?"
Qin Jian waved his hand, "I've eaten Sister Lin Jun."
Liao Linjun nodded, then ordered a salad for himself and a cup of hot water for Qin Jian.
After the waiter left, she asked again: "How are you? There are still six hours left. Are you nervous?"
Qin Jian smiled honestly: "A little bit."
Liao Linjun felt that Qin Jian was in good condition today, but she called him over at this time not just to see his condition.
As Qin Jian's teacher, she felt that she needed to explain some things to him before the finals.
Of course, the premise is that the topic reaches that point.
Before that, she needed to confirm some of Qin Jian's thoughts.
"A little bit," Liao Linjun followed her and smiled, "Why are you nervous."
Qin Jian had nothing to hide from Liao Linjun.
"It's better to stay a little nervous before going on the field." He said confidently.
After self-adjustment last night, his mentality has calmed down a lot now.
Liao Linjun was very satisfied with Qin Jian's attitude. Using this topic, she asked Qin Jian what he thought of the performance of several players yesterday.
Qin Jian carefully analyzed this issue with Duan Ran yesterday. For the competition after the second round, his judging perspective has gradually shifted from a player to a judge.
"Fred's approach is a good academic direction, but I don't think it's suitable for the game."
"Natsuki made many small changes in the first movement, especially the third movement, which is almost the best I have ever heard her play."
"The volume of Bayliss' performance was not up to standard. It can be seen that Marek deliberately lowered the volume of the orchestra."
"What can I say about Ivanov? Although his three movements sound very good overall, his overall awareness is much stronger than Bayliss, especially the second movement, which is more detailed than Natsuki's design, but his third movement
There are too many wrong notes in the movement, which is a big problem in my opinion, maybe because he didn't adjust his condition well."
"I don't know how the judges will view Duan Ran's live performance according to the standards of the judges. If I were a judge, I would like Duan Ran's version, but I would give a higher score to Rachel."
"This is a competition after all. Players should not only consider what they perform on the stage, but also the deeper things below the stage."
"This kind of thing should be based on personal in-depth thinking, and in-depth thinking is based on a comprehensive insight into music. There is no luck in the process."
"Among all the performances yesterday, in my opinion, Rachel was the one who performed this kind of 'from the outside to the inside' the best. In terms of timbre and music, I think she was right to choose Xiao Er."
After hearing this, Liao Linjun could only admire in his heart that the other party has grown so fast, not only in piano playing.
She heard almost everything Qin Jian said from Shen Qingci last night, and even said it more objectively.
But the more this happened, the more hesitant she became about reminding the other party to analyze the game and make some mental preparations at the same time.
The finals are changing.
The young players are all concentrating on preparing for the last fight, but they don't know that there may be a long-planned conspiracy surging under the field.
She was not sure, and neither was Shen Qingci.
Even with regard to the incident of "Igraz being unexpectedly eliminated" back then, no one has been able to produce any evidence to prove that it was a secret operation by that jury.
But Ygraz indeed left the field early beyond everyone's expectations.
That year, the audience exploded and the media exploded.
The entire classical piano circle exploded, and Shen Qingci chose to withdraw from the competition.
Because of this incident, after that Chopin Competition, the following two competitions were greatly eclipsed.
So five years later, she has enough reason to worry that history will repeat itself in another way.
Everyone can see that this time, the Poles held the largest Chopin Competition in history.
