The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 346 0346, Argument

Friday, overcast.

Today, the qualifiers for the National Piano Competition officially opened.

Yunfeng and Tang Yu asked for leave, and after breakfast, they took Chen Cheng's car to the Magic City Theater where the competition was held.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw two hydrogen balloons, one on the left and the other on the right, with a very eye-catching banner hanging below it, which read——National Piano Competition Open Selection Competition in Shanghai.

The purpose of this competition is to build a platform for contestants to compete and show off. With the purpose of creating a fair, just and widely influential high-level music competition, it will promote the development of domestic piano education, discover and help more talented pianists to step up their careers. To the international music stage, to realize the dream of music.

It is also the largest and highest-standard piano competition in China, attracting many piano performance enthusiasts to come and compete.

This early in the morning, there are already a sea of ​​people outside the theater, including many parents, children, old people and young people.

The arrival of Yunfeng and Tang Yu attracted the attention of everyone around.

Tang Yu's light blue dress, the loose style is casual yet beautiful, and the side straps add a bit of elegance, making people's eyes shine.

Yunfeng is the third, casual three-piece suit, but the foundation of height and figure is there, and the simple outfit gives people a refreshing, clean and handsome feeling.

"Wow, this little brother is so tall and handsome. Is he also here to participate in this National Piano Competition?"

"Why does it look familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

"Mom, that sister is so beautiful."

"With such a face and figure, he made his debut directly, so he still plays the piano."

"Fortunately, there is no image to talk about, otherwise no one here can compare to the two of them."

……

Yunfeng and Tang Yu's super good looks, youthful and beautiful temperament, and simple and elegant attire instantly became the focus.

Chen Cheng, who was on the side, saw countless pairs of eyes looking at them, and became a little worried, "Why don't you two put on your masks, if people recognize you..."

Yunfeng saw that the open group, children's group, and youth group began to let people into the arena, and said immediately: "The qualifiers have begun, and they should not pay attention to us anymore."

Tang Yu blinked her big eyes, and said, "It's hot and stuffy today, and it's uncomfortable to wear a mask."

Chen Cheng had no choice but to say, "Okay."

The three of them came to the check-in office.

Tang Yu took out his mobile phone, showed the registration code to the staff, and received a competition pass and two admission passes.

The three of them hung their cards on their chests and entered the theater along the passage of the professional group.

At this time, someone outside the theater exclaimed: "Ah, I remembered, the two people just now were Yunfeng and Tang Yu!"

"Yeah, it seems to be them!"

"I just said where I saw it."

"Fuck, the two of them are also here to participate in this National Piano Competition?"

"Here... two big bosses are here, how can we play?"

"Don't worry, they belong to the professional group, and you belong to the public group, so it won't have any influence."

……

After Yunfeng and Tang Yu were recognized, they immediately became the topic of discussion outside the theater.

And they have entered the rest area of ​​the professional group contestants at this time.

Compared with other groups, there are much fewer people here. After all, there are requirements for piano grades, and the competition number and competition time will be assigned after registration, so there is no need to come here early to wait.

The competition of the professional group has already started, and the contestants on the stage have shown their special abilities, showing their housekeeping skills one after another.

The competition is divided into three categories.The total performance time shall not exceed 10 minutes.

1. A prelude and a fugue of "Rogge's Twelve Well-Tempered" are fixed.

2. One optional etude and one allegro movement of a classical sonata.

3. A piece of music with a different theme from the previous two.

Contestants with the third prize and above in each group of the regional trials will be eligible to advance to the finals.

The judging panel includes professors from renowned conservatories at home and abroad, experts in music education and pianists.

The players left the rest area one by one.

Soon, the staff called Tang Yu's number: "Contestant D008 enters the field!"

Walking into the theater for professional competitions, Yunfeng and Chen Cheng were seated far away in the sixth row.

The front stage was huge, with a grand piano placed in the middle, a beam of light from the ceiling fell on the grand piano, and the rest of the place was dark.

Below the stage are six judges and several cameramen.

The whole theater was empty with only so few people, and it was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground. This kind of quietness made the contestants feel nervous.

Perhaps it was done on purpose to test the mentality of the players.

But for Tang Yu, he was used to it.

She walked slowly onto the stage, bowed to the judges as usual, reported her serial number and name, and then sat down on the piano bench.

Hearing the name "Tang Yu", no matter whether it was a foreign judge or a domestic judge, they were all a little surprised, and then exchanged in a low voice.

After a while, one of the judges said, "You can start now."

Tang Yu settled down, put her feet on the pedals, and danced freely and joyfully on the black and white keys with her slender and light hands.

The first tune plays.

Several judges took a look at the contestant's information, and it clearly said "Black Key Etude", but none of them had heard of it.

what happened?

Whose etude?
Why not mark it?
However, after listening to it, they all felt that this piece of music was a bit special.

The first paragraph mainly focuses on practicing black keys, but the second paragraph suddenly changes the tone and turns the black keys into white keys.

After the first song was played, the judges did not rush to ask, but let Tang Yu continue.

For the next three songs, Tang Yu chose all the well-known piano songs on Blue Star, and the last one was the variation of "Little Star".

After the end, I heard applause from the audience.

Yunfeng stood up, gave thumbs up with both hands, and raised them high.

Tang Yu smiled sweetly, and then bowed to the judges in the audience. Just about to step off the stage, one of the judges stopped him: "Excuse me, who is the master of the etude you played just now?"

They studied it for a long time, but they didn't find out who it belonged to.

Tang Yu smiled slightly, and said with a little pride: "It was created by my boyfriend Yunfeng."

Several judges were surprised when they heard this.

Tang Yu bowed again and stepped off the stage gracefully.

"Amazing, make it to the final." Yunfeng said.

"I was a little distracted just now, and I almost played the allegro movement of the classical sonata by mistake." Tang Yu stuck out his tongue.

"In the future, there will definitely be many shows and activities that Xiao Tang will be invited to perform," Chen Cheng said.

The three left the theater while chatting.

At this moment, the judges are discussing Tang Yu's performance just now.

A professor from the Rome Conservatory of Music said: "Her playing skills are not bad, but she shouldn't take a piece that has not been rated to participate in the competition. In my opinion, her first etude should not be scored."

The professor from the Shuchuan Conservatory of Music heard it and said with a smile: "Professor Marcus, I disagree with you. The rules of the competition are self-selected etudes, but it doesn't say that the pieces must be graded."

Marcus narrowed his eyes and said, "Professor Liu Haibin, may I ask, how do you rate the difficulty of a song that has no rating?"

Liu Haibin smiled and said: "I think everyone here can hear the difficulty of the piece just now, otherwise, why did you invite us here to be judges?"

Marcus said perseveringly: "It's one thing to be able to hear it, but if we only use our subjective consciousness to judge the difficulty of a piece of music that has not been strictly and professionally rated, wouldn't it be disrespectful to other contestants? fair."

Liu Haibin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then, not all of our existing etudes have been rated, and even Claire's etudes are unrated. If some players choose to use them in the competition, will we not give them a rating?" Points? But this is in the rules."

At this time, a pianist from Switzerland interjected: "Both of you are right, but there's no need to quarrel over this trivial matter. Let's just call and ask the head of the jury."

Marcus gritted his teeth and said, "I stick to my opinion."

Liu Haibin said calmly: "Professor Marcus, I know you are very familiar with Professor Alvaro."

His hesitant but pointed words made Marcus snort continuously.

The other judges seemed to understand something, but they didn't speak.
