Chapter 146 Champion, and Best Piano Concerto
The people in the live broadcast room were not at all surprised that Sun Mei would say that. After all, the news that Fu Tiao had won the Chopin International Piano Competition had spread a long time ago. In addition to the special item awards for the champion, what was announced today is more important. It is the performance award of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

So when Sun Mei said that Fu Tiao won the first place, it was not considered a spoiler for everyone.

In the live broadcast room, Pei Qi and Chen Gang also echoed at the same time, praising the significance of Fu Tiao's performance in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Shan Yi looked at everyone's praise with a smile on his face, but said nothing.

After Chen Gang and Pei Qi briefly narrated Fu Tiao's life experience in the flattery, Sun Mei took over the conversation and said with a smile.

"Three teachers, today is the repertoire award ceremony and the winner's concert of the Chopin International Piano Competition. Why don't we guess what kind of award Fu Tiao player might win in today's competition? Teacher Pei Qi? "

Pei Qi thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Actually, according to my personal favorite works of Fu Tiao, I actually like Fu Tiao's Polonaise the most, especially Fu Tiao's small selection of works. Ingeniously, he incorporated an ordinary work, an unnumbered posthumous work, God Bless Poland into the heroic Polonaise, and combined with the previous Piano Sonata No. The score of dance music is higher than that of Zhao Chengzhen, and I personally think that Fu Tiao can win the best polonaise."

Sun Mei was noncommittal, looked at Chen Gang with a smile, and asked, "Where is Mr. Chen Gang? Which award do you think Fu Tiao can win?"

Chen Gang hesitated a little at this time. He groped his chin, glanced at the single meaning beside him, and said slowly: "In my personal opinion, I think... the best polonaise, the best mazurka, and It is very difficult for him to win the best sonata in Fu Diao, what do you think, Mr. Shan Yi?"

Shan Yi nodded lightly: "Well, I also feel the same, but there is still hope for Fu Tiao's performance. After all, Fu Tiao's Op22, that is, the parallel Andante and the gorgeous Polonaise are equally good. I think the most Possibly, perhaps the best piano concerto."

Sun Mei: "Oh? Mr. Chen Gang and Mr. Shan Yi, can you briefly explain to the audience? Why do you think it is difficult for Fu Tiao to win these two awards?"

Chen Gang looked at Yi Shanyi and asked, "Teacher Shan Yi, shall I talk first?"

"can."

"Ok."

Chen Gang turned his head and smiled at Sun Mei, and explained: "Because now you have listened to all the Chopin International Piano Competitions, you can actually hear it very clearly. Many of them are complementary and not independent. That is to say, if you listen to all the works of Fu Tiao, you may be similar to Zhao Chengzhen, but once connected, Fu Tiao perfectly integrates his performance in music. , when a very interesting scene is built, Fu Tiao's music gets more sublimation."

He raised his hand in the direction of the camera, gestured to the crowd and said: "Compared with Zhao Chengzhen's music, Fu Tiao's music is different in the form of music expression. The advantage of Fu Tiao over Zhao Chengzhen lies in the integrity of Fu Tiao. , Fu Tiao's music is a very, very complete music, he will integrate everything together, which is why Fu Tiao was able to directly surpass everyone in the third round and won the first place in the third round .

But this brings up a problem, that is, Fu Tiao's music, it seems that the advantage in the single body is not so high, and it has not completely crushed everyone else, especially Zhao Chengzhen, who only got No.2 now, Zhao Chengzhen's performance on the polonaise was perfect, as was Mazurka, Hamelin and Kate Liu, who broke out in the third round, were also the same.

If you really remove Fu Tiao’s works and only listen to one of them, especially remove the heroic Polonaise of God Bless Poland, I personally think that Fu Tiao’s advantages are not very great. Hierarchy of everyone on site. "

"Indeed." Shan Yi nodded in approval, and explained with a serious expression: "The single best selected by the Chopin International Piano Competition is always judged by the single piece, not the performance in a concert. , Fu Tiao is very competitive regardless of which piece of work, but if it is completely crushed, I am afraid it will not be possible."

"Teacher Shan Yi, I'm afraid you forgot something!" Pei Qi suddenly opened his mouth and reminded Shan Yi: "There is a piece of Fu Tiao's work that is completely crushed, and that is the piano concerto. Fu Tiao's piano concerto completely crushed the live performances. Everyone."

"However, the question is whether it can meet the standards of the Polish National Philharmonic Orchestra. This is a question."

Shan Yi was not angry when he heard Pei Qi's doubt, but smiled at him very friendly and explained.

Sun Mei was listening to everyone's chat, and she probably had an idea in her mind, so she smiled and looked at the camera in front of her, then took the conversation.

"Okay, thank you teachers for your final guess on the competition's single award. Let's connect the screen to the Chopin International Piano awards ceremony and see who will win the final award of the competition."

After the voice fell, the screen was connected to the scene of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The scene is divided into two screens, and a large screen captures the whole picture of the Chopin Concert Hall from a height.

The stage has been completely emptied, and there are only a few baskets of flowers evenly distributed in two steps.

In addition to the flowers, there are two rows of seats, probably for the judges and special award presenters.

The staff on the stage had completely set up the stage, and they all stood aside for final confirmation.

And behind the stage, it was extremely lively.

Contestants such as Fu Tiao, Zhao Chengzhen, Hamelin, Kobayashi Aishi, the judges, and nobles such as Emilia all stood in the background, chatting casually.

From the perspective of everyone on the TV station, it is obvious that Fu Diao is chatting with Argerich, and they seem to be having a very happy conversation, but they have no idea what they are talking about.

Watching the interaction between Fu Tiao and Argerich, the people on the TV station were extremely anxious.

Chen Gang said helplessly, "Why did Fu Tiao and Argerich chat so happily? Who knows what they are talking about?"

"Probably talking about Chopin." Shan Yi looked at Fu Tiao and Argerich, and couldn't help guessing: "When Fu Tiao and I were chatting before, we talked about this alone, and talked about him and Argerich before. Ricky met, Argerich seemed very interested in him, we had chatted during the qualifiers."

"Chat during the qualifiers? Is this sure to be optimistic? Not unfavorable? The judges basically have no hope for those players who are more like, and they will chat in the past, hoping to help him in the future?"

"Maybe during the qualifiers, no one knew that Argerich was coming? Maybe, but I don't know."

Shan Yi smiled and said, Chen Gang and Pei Qi still have something to ask, but at this time the two hosts came to the stage, picked up the documents in their hands and spoke in Polish to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the award ceremony of the Chopin International Piano Competition and the winner's concert."

The voice fell, and the person next to him repeated the same in English.

They smiled and introduced the sponsors and organizers of this competition to everyone, and soon they thought about the judges who came to this award presentation.

"First of all, let's welcome the judges, Mata Argerich, Argentina!"

The applause sounded, and Argerich walked out from the backstage of the stage. Although her figure is not as sexy and charming as when she was young, she still has an artistic temperament that is difficult for everyone to match, and her every move is extremely charming.

She smiled at everyone, walked slowly to her seat and sat down.

"Tarzan Deng! Jia Ma Da!"

A little old man in very good spirits walked out behind Argerich. He also had a smile on his face, and there was no way to hide this smile.

In this year's competition, compared with the biggest champion Steinway and champion Fu Tiao, he is the biggest winner.

Except for one of his four students, Annie Zhou, who was eliminated in the second round, none of the other three contestants were eliminated.

And these three people are all in the top five!

Among the top five and six, he occupied three of them, or in other words, apart from the unimaginably powerful Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, they were his students.

Among the people present, who else is more powerful than him?
This is especially true for Deng Taishan, who focuses his music career on teaching rather than performance.

The three people live on the Huaguo TV station looked at Deng Taishan's happy face. Although they were a little envious, it was far from jealous. After all, they taught three players with completely different styles and their strengths could be in the most perfect state. Just saying that he is Chopin's judge can be put off.

With the appearance of Deng Taishan, the other judges in the back also came out of the backstage one by one. There is one in every country, including Li Diyun from Huaguo. Everyone walked onto the stage, sat on the left side of the stage, and looked at the stage with a smile. the people below.

With the appearance of Li Diyun, sitting at the last of the judging panel, the host continued to speak.

"Next, let us invite the Polish Minister of National Cultural Heritage, Prof. Malgorzata Omilanowska (the one who drew lots)
) debut! "

The lady dressed in the same clothes as when the lottery was drawn walked out from the back of the stage slowly, smiled at the crowd, and sat in her seat.

Afterwards, the heads of various other places, such as the Minister of Culture, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, etc., came to the stage and sat down one by one.

It is worth noting that the Minister of Development of the Ministry of Culture is actually Emilia. She walked on the stage in a slightly conservative but extremely sexy dress, smiled at everyone very dignifiedly, and sat down in her seat , with a calm expression.

The host did not speak until the last official was seated.

"Next, let's welcome all of our finalists!"

"First contestant, Nehring!"

Polish player Nehring came out from behind the stage with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

Because the rankings of the contestants are read from the back to the front, if he comes out first, it means that he has won the last place.

He sat in the back row of the contestants' seats in the center of the stage, with a nervous expression on his face.

Then came Aishi Kobayashi.

She won the last No.2 of the Chopin International Piano Competition without a doubt.

In other words, it's a little strange that she was able to win the second-to-last place. After all, she was the last-to-last in the third round, and she was able to get the second-to-last place in the finals, perhaps because she performed well at the beginning , which saved her from winning the title of bottom one.

Then, there were the other two foreign players.

It wasn't until No.6 that the host's voice became slightly louder.

"Now, let's welcome No.6, Dmitry Shishkin! Russia!"

Dmitry was still as shy as he was in the concert hall at that time, walked out from the back of the stage a little bit shyly, and sat in the first place in the second row.

Those who came out behind him were players from Canada, Yang Yike and Tony Yang. He didn't sit in the second row like Dmitry, but sat in the first row generously. .

Beside him, two people fell quickly.

Eric Lu, and Kate Liu.

The faces of the three of them were much lighter than before, perhaps because they chatted with their teacher Deng Taishan for a long time, the conflict between them has eased a lot, and they have become one again.

The Deng family trio!
After waiting for No.3 Kate Liu to be seated, the host's voice became even louder.

He shouted excitedly: "Next, let us invite you, Chopin International Piano Competition No.2! Charles Richard Hamelin, and...Chengzhen Zhao!"

Whoa!
The applause became more enthusiastic, and countless cheers sounded.

Under the cheers of the crowd, Hamelin and Zhao Chengzhen walked out from the back of the stage. The two stood together, and Zhao Chengzhen, who had a little baby face, became even smaller.

It seems that because Hamelin lost to Zhao Chengzhen, he sat next to Kate Liu, and Zhao Chengzhen sat in the second position.

As for the last position, there is almost no need for anyone to say, everyone knows who this position belongs to.

The host also smiled and said to the crowd.

"Okay, next is the last contestant, Dior Fu! Hua Guo!"

There was a loud applause, and everyone was applauding vigorously, even the judges and various committee officials beside them applauded softly.

Under the applause of everyone, Fu Tiao appeared from the back of the stage, walked to the last seat with a smile and sat down.

Relaxed and natural.

The host immediately looked at the people who were already on stage, and immediately started the normal host speech, while everyone in the studio smiled at each other.

"Although I already know Fu Tiao's results, it's the first time I've been seated according to the rankings like today. Sure enough, the seats according to the rankings can show Fu Tiao's popularity even more."

"After all, he is the champion. It took a lot of time for the previous appearances, but I don't know about the announcement of the special awards later."

"really……"

There was no formal meaning in the casual communication among the people.

After all, there are not many people watching at night, as long as there are no mistakes in the performance, there are actually no problems with other things.

That's why they speak so casually.

The host said a lot of words of thanks on the stage, and according to the tradition, invited the responsible persons of various places to give speeches.

Of course, due to frequent reasons, these people did not give a lot of speeches, but only a small part of the speech, which ended after each person spoke for a few minutes.

Even so, they talked for nearly 10 minutes.

When the last person finished speaking, it was obvious that everyone was a little sleepy.

At this time, the host said just right: "Next, we will announce the winner of the best Chopin piano sonata decided by Zimmerman in the Chopin International Piano Competition..."

"Charles Richard Hamelin!"

The staff came to the middle of the stage with the certificate and the check. Hamelin was obviously very surprised. He never expected that he could win the best piano sonata.

"Decided by the Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee, the winner of the best Chopin Mazurka..."

"Kate Liu!"

With a smile on her face, Kate Liu stepped forward calmly and accepted the award.

Her reaction and Hamelin's reaction formed a perfect contrast, which was a little surprising.

But considering her young age, she went from almost the last position to the last third place, her age is also normal.

The emotions of everyone in the live broadcast room were normal and there was no special change.

After all, they also guessed this situation.

It's just that they were a little emotionally unstable later on.

"The winner of Chopin's best Polonaise as decided by the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition..."

"Chengzhen Zhao!"

Zhao Chengzhen stood up very humbly, took the certificate from the host, and showed it to everyone.

The emotions of the three people in the live broadcast room changed a little in an instant.

Pei Qi was obviously at a loss: "Why isn't Fu Tiao the best polonaise piece? No polonaise piece in Fu Tiao is inferior to Zhao Chengzhen!"

Chen Gang was helpless: "Sure enough, as we guessed, Fu Tiao did not win the best polonaise. Although Fu Tiao's polonaise is very strong, in order to balance, the organizing committee really gave the best polonaise to Zhao Chengzhen , but not to Fu tune."

"Then can it be said... that Fu Tiao's award has been secured?" Pei Qi asked.

Before Chen Gang could speak, Shan Yi smiled and pointed to the screen, and said softly, "Look, you will know."

"Let us trust Fu Tiao."

"..."

Under the eyes of everyone, the host took out the last piece of paper, looked at the name on it, and turned to look at Fu Tiao, his tone extremely high.

"Finally, the jewel of the Chopin International Piano Competition, decided by the Polish National Philharmonic Orchestra, the winner of the best piano concerto, he is..."

"Tiao Fu!"

Whoa!
Incomparably warm applause rang out, and under the eyes of everyone, Fu Tiao got up with a smile and stood in front of the stage, standing in the same row as the four people around him.

And the award presenter in front of him was not the conductor of the Polish National Philharmonic Orchestra, but another acquaintance.

Emilia stood gracefully in front of Fu Tiao, handed the certificate in her hand to Fu Tiao, and said with a chuckle.

"Fu Diao, congratulations, you have won the Chopin International Piano Competition."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao also nodded with a smile, and took the certificate in Emilia's hand gracefully, but felt Emilia's hand in soft lace brushing the back of his hand, causing a ripple.

When Fu Tiao raised his head and looked at Emilia blankly, she returned to her original Gao Jie, just smiled lightly and said.

"Come on boy, I'm looking forward to your next concert, come on."
