Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1146 406. Playing the game with my mother [Twenty-five]

Let’s go back to half an hour ago.
-
Staff member Mr. Wang brought the information about delaying the announcement of the results, and the contestants in the lounge gave different responses to this.

Teacher Wang came in hurriedly. Sun Wenjun thought the results were already out and wanted to stand up uncontrollably. However, he was told that the judges had to hold an emergency meeting.

Then her body relaxed and her center of gravity returned to a sitting position.

In other words, she still couldn’t find out the specific scores between her and Jamel Xiao.

As the first contestant to finish performing, she watched the rest of the competition in its entirety. After seeing Tang Haoran finish the last piece, she could confidently say that she would definitely get a ticket.

Her confidence stems from a clear understanding of her own strengths and the comparison between her performance and that of the other fourteen contestants today.

To be fair, she removed contestant No. 01, who made it difficult for her to make a judgment, and also removed a ticket. With only two tickets left, she could still confidently say that she would definitely get one of them.

And she was sure that the remaining one must be Jamel Xiao's.

Jamel Xiao's performance today did not surprise her and was just as high quality as she had imagined.

She is also full of confidence in her performance on the stage today. This is also what she expected, that both of them would give their best performance and compete again.

So compared to the result, she cared more about who had a higher score between her and Jamel Xiao this time.

However, Jamel Xiao didn't care about Sun Wenjun's score. His first concern was his own ranking.

Seeing that the results had not come out yet, he could only wait a little longer. In addition to his own results, he also wanted to know the results of contestant No. 01.

Like Sun Wenjun, he had never seen a player like No. 01.

But he really liked the nocturne and mazurka performed by contestant No. 01, as well as contestant No. 01's insights on Beethoven's works.

To be honest, he has another question about passion that he would like to ask contestant No. 01.

When staff member Wang left, Jamel Xiao, who had not moved, turned his gaze towards contestant No. 05, He Jiaming.

Actually, the person he wanted to see was contestant No. 01, but he was embarrassed.

After a moment, he looked in the direction of Sun Wenjun again. He didn't want to look at Sun Wenjun either. He wanted to look at No. 02 Chen Yutong, who was also embarrassed.

If he had to make a comparison between the contestants from Huafu today, he thought that the Revolution played by Chen Yutong today was more infectious than any of the songs played by Sun Wenjun.

Chen Yutong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, obviously didn’t know that her performance today was so good in the eyes of No. 13 Jamel Xiao.

When the staff member, Teacher Wang, walked in just now, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Knowing that she would have to wait a while to get the result, her nervousness was temporarily relieved.

She only hopes that she can be favored once, as she has already participated in three Xiao Xiao competitions.

Her biggest concern at the moment came from No. 05 He Jiaming.

In her opinion, among all the contestants today, she admitted that she was not as good as Wen Jun and No. 13 Xiao Jingchen, and among the remaining contestants, only He Jiaming was similar to her.

Completely contrary to Sun Wenjun and Xiao Jingchen's thoughts on contestant No. 01, Chen Yutong believed that she could understand contestant No. 01's performance.

But based on his experience of participating in three Xiao Xiao competitions, players like this would not achieve very good results.

When staff member Mr. Wang left, she breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at No. 02 He Jiaming.

Before Mr. He could react, the staff member left.

what's the situation?
He was just about to ask Sister Xiaoche.

Then there was a voice saying, "What's going on?"

Contestant No. 10 Tang Haoran said, "Fuck you!"

Everyone looked over instantly.

Tang Haoran thought to himself, I just played a big role, and I am confused by the competition?

"what's the situation?"

Less than a mile after Teacher Wang walked, Tang Haoran stood up, looking confused but also a little excited.

Tang Haoran is indeed a natural social expert. Seeing that no one responded, he looked directly at Zhao Xinyi, who was closest to him. Zhao Xinyi hadn't said much during the whole process, but he called on her to question her.

"Do you know?" Tang Haoran looked at Zhao Xinyi and asked seriously.

"How would I know?" Zhao Xinyi shrugged, but "Maybe the scores haven't been calculated yet."

Zhao Xinyi guessed, "It seems that this year they used the scoring system to calculate it."

"Huh?" Tang Haoran frowned in a way that even Wang Duoyu couldn't. "It's just a score calculation. Why use a scoring system? Give me a calculator and I can do it for them in minutes."

"What are you laughing at? I'm not kidding. I can even give each of you an extra point."

Zhao Xinyi was indeed amused by Tang Haoran's expression, and everyone was also amused by Tang Haoran's words.

"You look a lot like a classmate of mine." Zhao Xinyi nodded at Tang Haoran in an evaluative manner.

Tang Haoran was puzzled: "Male or female?"

This time even Xiaoche couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. This guy is really good at making jokes.

Zhao Xinyi smiled: "Excuse me, are you a woman?"

Tang Haoran sneered: "Tell me, who is more handsome, me or him?"

Zhao Xinyi was about to say that her classmate was handsome, but she immediately realized that if she said that her classmate was handsome, wouldn't that be a disguised way of saying that Tang Haoran was handsome?
Because she was the one who took the initiative to say that Tang Haoran looked like a classmate of hers, she was referring to his speaking style and personality, but who knows how Tang Haoran understood the word "similar".

Hum, "Don't ask, you're not as handsome as him."

"Yeah," Tang Haoran touched his nose, looking like his evil plan had been exposed, "Okay, then I'll reluctantly accept it."

Zhao Xinyi rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly: "You two are exactly the same."

Ha ha ha ha--

After all, they are still a group of children. Even though they look like little performers when sitting on the stage, they are no different from all the children of the same age when they leave the stage.

Besides, we have been working hard for a while, and everyone is tired.

Therefore, watching the two people in front of them having a conversation as if it were a daily break, the children's physical and mental fatigue were relieved a little.

Besides, no one knows how long it will take for the results to come out, so listening to classmates’ jokes can help time pass faster.

however.

"Alright, alright, brothers." Tang Haoran raised his hand to interrupt everyone's laughter, and his expression became less serious.

But it was his relaxed expression that made people feel that he was getting a little serious.

next second.

"I think the scores must be out," everyone's hearts, which had just relaxed, were instantly lifted up again. Then Tang Haoran looked around and continued, "There should be other situations."

Any other situation?

what's the situation?
In fact, when Teacher Wang came just now, everyone was wondering what had happened, but it was one feeling when you thought about it yourself and another feeling when someone else said it.

It’s like Wang Xiaohu feels that the dinner is not tasty enough, but he can’t tell what flavor is missing. At this time, Liu Fengrui suddenly says that it is lacking soy sauce, and Wang Xiaohu will follow suit and think that it is lacking the taste of soy sauce.

"Then what do you think is going on?" Chen Yutong couldn't help but ask, "I've participated in the Xiao Xiao competition three times and have never seen such a situation."

Tang Haoran spread his hands: "I don't feel that way. This is my first time participating in such a big competition. Is there a tie? Has this happened in other competitions?"

Everyone shook their heads. They had all participated in many competitions, but had never experienced a situation where the field was evenly divided.

And speaking of splitting it equally, at least five people have already thought of this possibility.

But they also rejected this idea.

"probably not."

Everyone looked towards the voice, and the person who spoke was Sun Wenjun, who everyone believed would definitely advance.

"There are 21 judges in total. The probability of a tie is too small."

As Sun Wenjun finished speaking, He Jiaming took over and continued his analysis, "And even if there is a tie, as long as it is not between the third and fourth place, it will not affect the announcement of the results." The contestants nodded when they heard this, it was indeed true.

Because apart from these two rankings, any tie in any of the remaining adjacent rankings will not affect the promotion results.

There are only three qualifying spots in this competition, and everyone knew this from the beginning.

Huang Sirui: "Is it possible that one of the judges was in poor health? I mean, for example, he happened to go to the toilet."

Tang Haoran: "Hey~ That's a very thoughtful idea. I think you are praising my last work for having a special function."

Ha ha ha ha--

After a burst of laughter, Tang Haoran didn't say anything else this time.

The lounge became quiet again.

It seems that at present, there is no situation closer to a possibility than the one analyzed by He Jiaming.

This means that the third and fourth places are probably already tied.

If so, who will be the third and fourth?

"its not right."

Xu Tianyu, who was standing by the water dispenser, suddenly said in doubt, "There is a bug."

"If the third and fourth place scores are the same, then who is third and who is fourth? Shouldn't they be tied for third?"

Yup!

Chen Yutong suddenly became excited, and her tone of voice could not help but rise three points: "It should be tied for third place, and then fourth place."

The contestants immediately started talking to each other, and the atmosphere became heated up again.

Han Xueqing: "Is it possible that there will be an extra qualifying spot?"

hiss!
After a brief silence, the enthusiasm on the scene continued to escalate!
"It's entirely possible! Think about it, the rule is that the top three advance, so the top three should be the top three in terms of points, right?"

"That's right. If only three people can advance, there are two third place winners. No matter who is allowed in, it will be unfair to the other one!"

"That's right! Everyone must go in!"

"Then our Group C will have four people going to Warsaw."

"Hahaha, bullfrog bullfrog."

Maybe he was really tired. He was silent for a while and laughed for a while. I didn't know what he was so happy about during this period. It was as if he could be one of the four people.

"Although it has nothing to do with me, I'm still a little excited."

As soon as Huang Sirui finished speaking, Tang Haoran corrected him excitedly, "Who said it has nothing to do with you? This is a big deal. No matter who advances or how many advance, they will represent our Group C to compete abroad. Don't you agree?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, as if something in their blood was ignited by Tang Haoran's words.

Following everyone's gaze, Xiao Che's opinion of Tang Haoran changed again, and for a moment she wanted to clench her fists.

Tang Haoran didn't care about the looks from everyone at all. He smiled and said, "Anyway, let me make a wish first. No matter who of you goes to Poland, I hope you can bring back the gold medal for Group C."

"At this age, I don't submit to anyone but my own people."

He Jiaming finally couldn't help himself: "Dude, you play the piano really well too! Really!"

Jamel Xiao also said at this time: “Very good.”

Tang Haoran laughed: "Of course I am. Just kidding. I am a human metronome. I am not bragging to you. If I go out, I will steal the trophy back even if I have to."

Ha ha ha ha--

After a burst of laughter, the lounge became quiet again, but this time everyone's expressions changed a little.

moment.

“It’s really possible that four people will advance.”

Sun Wenjun broke the silence again, "I heard from a senior sister that there is a promotion rule in the Chopin International Piano Competition. If the scores of two contestants are both stuck at the last promotion line, the judges can discuss and allow both contestants to advance to the next round."

hiss! ! ! !

The contestants couldn't help but blink when they heard this.

If just now everyone was just laughing about a possible fantasy result, now it is no longer a simple possible fantasy result.

That is a completely possible outcome, not a fantasy!!

The Chopin International Piano Competition can also be considered a type of Chopin International Piano Competition!

Lin Ruoxi: "Come on, Old Tang! You have a chance!"

The two are classmates at Tongyuan High School. On weekdays, they seem to enjoy bickering and neither of them is willing to give in, but at critical moments, they must be each other's most reliable buddies.

"No, no, no," but this time Tang Haoran rarely showed his timidity, and said frankly, "I'm just bragging. If I really want to do it, I really can't do it."

Wu Yating: "Tsk tsk, you don't want to go to Poland?"

Tang Haoran: "Well, I have to be able to go if I want to. To be honest, I think I'm really unlucky. I met this group of people when I first came here. I'm almost autistic because of you. Did you all grow up eating piano?"

The children laughed again.

"Oh, I heard Poland also has dumplings, I wonder what the fillings are."

"It's definitely not leek and egg."

"I like to eat leek and eggs."

"I like pork and corn."

"I'm hungry after hearing you say so. I'll have a cookie. Who wants one?"

"Give me a piece to try. Did you know there is a Sacred Heart Cathedral in Poland?"

"It is said that Chopin's heart lies beneath this church."

“Is it so abstract?”

"real."

“Then I kind of want to go and see it.”

"rush!"

Just like that, a group of children started chatting thoroughly while waiting for analysis and speculation to get excited.

The car drove quietly, listening to everyone, and occasionally responding to He Jiaming's words.

In fact, this atmosphere made her feel quite comfortable. She even regretted what she said to Tang Haoran at that time.

Through this period of observation, she saw that there were many things worth learning from Tang Haoran.

And every player around was lovely and played the piano very well.

But after a while, when the results are really out, she doesn't know whether everyone in the lounge will still be able to discuss the topic of going to Poland as easily and happily as they do now.

When Teacher Wang walked in just now, her first reaction was to be stunned, as if her brain had crashed.

It was not until Teacher Wang left that she belatedly discovered something.

The closer it got to the announcement of the results, the more she felt the urge for this ticket.

There were no windows in the conference room, but she had already prayed to Grandma Moon again in her heart.

Grandma Moon, please! -
'That night in Chengdu, the sky was exceptionally clear. Che Lin hid in a rest room, looking at the sky through the window. The moon was beautiful, but she didn't know how long it would take to announce the results. She just went back to the backstage and heard two staff members talking about the prize money for this competition. In fact, Che Lin has always known that there is a prize money for this competition. Che Lin had never thought of trying her best for the three thousand yuan, but now think about it, if... if she can really get this reward, it should help share some of the pressure at home. Thinking of this, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and made a small wish to the night sky. If... she only left a hundred yuan for herself. Just a hundred yuan. Grandma Moon, please! '

She has tried her best this time, and this time she doesn't want anything else but a ticket.
