Adams's third place result is tantamount to the jury's practical actions telling the world——
Starting from this Chopin Competition, the Best Concerto Award will no longer be tied to the Gold Award.
Everyone present at this moment is a witness to this scene.
Rachel lost, and so did Adams.
They took the golden key and were defeated in front of the door of the treasure room.
...
Several old artists who had been judges for three or four consecutive Xiao competitions booed in their hearts. Although they knew a little extra plot, they couldn't help but sigh.
Today's competition has made them feel a little strange and difficult.
The other judges also had their own concerns.
Regarding Adams' elimination, Branjano didn't have much regret in his mind.
In other words, at this moment, he no longer has much to worry about third or fourth place.
The next announcement was what made him most uneasy. He even felt terrified.
In his mind, as the first or two candidates were announced with Adams' name, there would be no others.
Qin Jian and Edmundo, one of the two will definitely be the champion.
Although for a moment he hoped that the person who would eventually compete with Qin Jian for the championship would be someone else, not his own student.
After Rachel's score was announced, he originally thought that Edmundo's score should be third.
But in the end he underestimated Andrzej's methods.
At this time, he didn't know how many Polish judges were involved in Andrzej's plan.
Comparing the final performances of Edmundo, Rachel, Adams and Qin Jian, he believed that Edmundo could only rank behind the three.
But now that the plot has developed, Adams's third place result has reached a high score of 23.12!
His winning score that year was only 23.24 points!
That's ridiculous.
What happens next is that Edmundo may be announced as the new Chopin Champion soon.
He couldn't imagine how the world media would evaluate this result after tonight.
He is even more afraid that Edmundo will be marked with a big stain on his career that has not yet started.
At this moment, as a teacher, he hated An Jieyi.
At the same time, as a judge of the Chopin Competition, he also hated his own incompetence.
The only thing he was lucky about was the score he finally scored for player No. 57.
...
Beside Branjano, Andrzej's smile has disappeared.
When things have reached this point, everything is slowly progressing according to his expectations.
Thirty minutes ago, when Argerich proposed to award the best concerto to contestant No. 66, he knew in his heart that in Argerich's final score list, No. 66 should have the highest score.
When Branjano then suggested that the Concerto Award should be awarded to No. 12, he was filled with joy, and for the same reason.
As long as player No. 57 is not the highest among these two players, then Edmundo is basically safe.
Because from the beginning to the end, the biggest concern in his mind was player No. 57.
The only flaw was in the order of third and fourth place. He hoped that player No. 12 would take third place.
After all, this is also related to a third-place solo concert.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He can retire just waiting to hear the news that player No. 57 won second place. He doesn't care if anyone is dissatisfied with the result of this competition.
Some people will always be dissatisfied with the results of the competition, and the bigger the competition, the more so.
Moreover, all the individual awards that should be given out have been given out. He is convinced that in the eyes of the public, every contestant who receives an individual award is well-deserved.
He understands the actual value of individual prizes, and no one should question the value of individual prizes in the Chopin Competition.
At the same time, he was also prepared for the worst. He was already 76 years old, so what else did he fear?
He just wants the final medal to stay in Warsaw.
...
Argerich's heart was not that complicated, but that didn't mean that he or she couldn't see clearly the next situation.
She and Branjano have different views. She can accept Edmundo winning.
As an art theorist, she believes that Edmundo's performance has research significance.
Although she gave Adams and Qin Jian higher scores.
But from the beginning to now, every result she has achieved has been carefully considered and penned.
As a judge of the Chopin Competition, her duty is to select better Chopin players.
At this moment she is just waiting for the final result.
But no matter what the result is, she wants to have a good chat with No. 57 face to face after the game. She has been interested in this newcomer who is about to join Steinway for a long time.
...
The Russian bearded Russian judges should be the most relaxed at this moment, because they have nothing to lose.
This time in the Chopin Competition, the Russians could be said to have been completely wiped out.
But it doesn't matter, they will come back five years later.
The fighting spirit of the fighting clan is well-deserved.
...
Hewitt and Deng Taishan chatted quietly when Parrocan announced the third place.
The two discussed the final result.
The strange thing is that usually Talibek would get involved at times like this, but today Talibek didn't say a word.
Talibek just smiled and maintained his gentlemanly demeanor in front of each camera.
...
The people who know the players best are the players. Now that the matter is over, there is nothing more to say.
In fact, it is very clear that the final champion will be between Qin Jian and Edmundo.
Xia Shu and Li Xianlong have taken the initiative to withdraw from the competition.
Several people's eyes kept flowing between Qin Jian and Edmundo, just waiting for the judges to announce the final second place.
...
This time the applause fell quickly.
With Rachel's fourth place, it seemed that Adams' third place was no longer so shocking to the scene.
Except for those passers-by who are still immersed in 'Best Concerto' = 'Chopin Gold Medal'.
Smart people are already thinking about the final result like the judges.
...
At this time of the announcement, it was already 22:12 Warsaw time.
Only 32 minutes have passed since the announcement of the individual awards, but it feels like a round of competition has passed.
The hot scene tested the patience of the audience and the physical strength of the reporters.
The quiet scene entered the final wait.
The waiting of 17+1 judges. The waiting of the old notary.
He Jing's waiting, Qin Gang's and his wife's waiting.
Shen Qingci’s waiting, Liao Linjun’s waiting.
Duan Hong's waiting place, Lin Chaoge's waiting.
The old bartender's waiting, the old Assad's waiting.
Robert's waiting, Yglaz's waiting
Duan Ran’s waiting, Xia Shu’s waiting,
Fang Zongyao’s waiting, Rachel’s waiting.
The cameras are focused and waiting, and thousands of people in the live broadcast room are waiting.
...
Edmundo's Waiting.
...
Everything is silent.
"The second place finisher - Simon Edmundo - ended with a score of 23.34."
...
...
"23.44?"
Qin Jian seemed unable to hear the riot in the hall at this moment.
He is still waiting.
...
"The first-place player, Qin Jian, scored the final score——"
