Chapter 394

The Queen Elizabeth contest has entered a feverish stage, and the popularity of related topics on Twitter and Weibo continues to rise.

Although Liao Yuan's song "Missing Across Time and Space" did not receive high praise in the world, it also allowed him to advance to the top six.

After watching this game, to many ordinary people, Liao Yuan didn't seem to be as scary as imagined, he seemed to be - just a little bit better than Ma Lishi's performance.

However, it was precisely this point that became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Yumarish to lose instantly.

Many people thought it was worthless to have Ma Lishi, and thought that if Ma Lishi didn't go too far and only judged by strength, there might be a huge turning point in the result.

But all senior people in the industry know that there is nothing wrong with Ma Lishi's approach.

Because in terms of strength alone, Ma Lishi is really far behind.

You Ma Lishi also deeply understands this point. She knows that her strength is not as good as the opponent, so she finds another way, but the risky moves can't change the situation of the battle.

But she was not discouraged, because she knew that in terms of overall strength alone, Liao Yuan would absolutely crush 99% of the world's so-called genius pianists.

It wasn't a big surprise to her that she was defeated by Liao Yuanjun's hands. Few people can climb this huge mountain.

Same with myself.

However, when the result appeared, deep in her heart, there was still a trace of regret.

After the sixth game of Liao Yuan VS Yu Malishi, the first stage of the game ended temporarily.

So far, the top six places in the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition have also been announced.

They are Liao Yuan, Lin Weiyin, Zuo Chuantaro, Wu Di, Sean Wilder, Liu Zaihe.

When this result came out, global music review programs and major media were in an uproar.

Compared with Queen Elizabeth Dassey in the past, this time, Asians can be said to have swept the top six in the competition. Except for the African-American pianist Sean, the rest of the contestants who advanced were all Asians.

Among them, Liao Yuan, Lin Weiyin, and Wu Di are all Chinese, Zuo Chuantaro is Japanese, and Liu Zaihe is Korean.

In this case, it can be said that Twitter has set off a monstrous wave.

When people in Europe and the United States were angry for the young pianists of their respective countries, people of all races also pinned their hopes on the black pianist Sean, and began to cheer for Sean.

At this moment, Sean seemed to be a hero standing on the last line of defense.

Even on the day when the results came out, US President Kennedy liked Sean's advancement on Twitter.

You know, Sean is a pianist personally introduced by President Kennedy.

He was once invited to play at the White House, which made Sean's name truly sung in the world.

With Kennedy's likes, all the major news media started to hype the music competition as if they had been beaten to death, which pushed the popularity of the Queen Elizabeth competition to the highest.

In recent days, short videos and news reports about the competition have often topped the hot search lists on major platforms.

After the game, the list of the top six duels was also determined by drawing lots.

They are Lin Weiyin VS Sean Wilder, Liao Yuan VS Liu Zaihe, Wu Di VS Zuo Chuantaro.

At the same time, the players who failed to advance also started a lottery matchup. They will decide the list of No.7 to No.12. There are no subsequent material rewards to be obtained.

In the eyes of everyone, without the slightest stagnation, the next day, the top six competition officially started.

In the first match, Lin Weiyin VS Sean Wilder.

Sean is a black pianist with a height of 1.9 meters [-], but his figure is not as strong as other blacks. He looks very thin, and even his facial features are very delicate. When Liao Yuan saw him for the first time , I think Sean is a bit like the black pianist in the movie "Green Book".

Similar classical piano competitions did not have too fancy performances in other program units. Even before that, the competition party had rejected the funding of many sponsors. The official seemed to want to distinguish this competition from the coquettish sluts of the outside world.

On the whole, for the audience and players, the look and feel of the game is cleaner and neater.

The contestants only showed up a little before the opening and accepted photos from the media reporters, but refused to be interviewed.

Therefore, after a brief adjustment, the game officially began.

Lin Weiyin was the first to play.

Today, Lin Weiyin is wearing a long black dress, her waist looks slender and grippable, and her fair skin looks extremely dazzling under the light.

Not surprisingly, what Lin Weiyin plays is still the Chopin series.

The title of the piece is "Nature's Andante and Brilliant Grand Polonaise". This piece is the most difficult piece in Chopin's Polonaise series, but it is also the most brilliant piece. This piece is divided into two parts. Lin Weiyin is playing the second piece now.

At the same time, this song is also a special song for undergraduate entrance examinations in many conservatories around the world. It is a very memorable song for many candidates. Therefore, when they saw Lin Weiyin playing this piece, many music students in the audience were shocked. I felt the trembling of my fingers.

The song emphasizes the control of emotions. Although many candidates rely on rote memorization and even practice muscle memory, if there is no emotional expression, the scores will still be very low.

But there is no doubt that, as a contemporary female version of Chopin, what Lin Weiyin brings is definitely a master-level performance. Every movement of her limbs and fingers brings great enjoyment to everyone present.

It was a groan from the soul, just like hearing contemporary Chopin's ten conductors dancing.

There are even Chopin admirers who can't help but dance to the sound of the piano when they hear the lyrics.

"When it comes to the finals, it is obvious that the state of the performers is more tense..."

"The playing ability has also improved by more than one level."

"The more critical it is, the more everyone has to take out the works at the bottom of the box."

"Lin Weiyin deserves to be the gold medal winner of the Chopin Competition."

"Sean's expression is very solemn, it seems that he is not very sure."

"He has high hopes for the entire American piano industry, even the entire European and American continents. If he fails, he will be scolded to death when he returns to Congress."

"President Kennedy also put a lot of pressure on him, but in the face of this brilliant big polonaise, I'm afraid he will really stop the top six and go home."

"Mr. Xiao En's strength is terrifying, and there may be a reversal."

"Speaking of which, Ms. Lin's strength and state are still the same as before. The astonishment of this piece of music is no less than that of the 2020 Chopin International Piano Competition..."
