Chapter 303 General
.
Although the audience applause was not very warm, the media reporters who had watched Lu Wei's competition in Beijing's trials suddenly became energetic, and were also excited that the music fans who had been paying attention to Lu Wei since that trial. As Lu Wei, who won the first place in the trials, many people were full of expectations for his performance.
However, some foreign media reporters are a little confused about the performance of these people, so they don’t understand why they showed such an excited expression to the appearance of an ordinary player.
Zhou Tao, who passed by Lu Wei, turned off the microphone and whispered, "Come on!"
"Thank you!" Although I didn't understand why Zhou Tao encouraged him alone, Lu Wei still said gratefully.
In the audience, Xiaoling's eyes were full of tension. Although she knew that Lu Wei's level was very high, after seeing the performances of the previous contestants just now, Xiaoling, who had a lot of confidence in Lu Wei, was now unsure.
"Xiao Nan, do you think Lu Wei can enter the final?" Xiao Ling asked Xiao Nan beside him in a worried tone. After contacting the selection competition and these days, the two of them became familiar with each other.
"Haha, don't worry, with Lu Wei's level, there is no problem at all to enter the finals, but if you want to win the championship..." Xiao Nan said this, his tone was a little hesitant.
"How is it?" Xiaoling asked hurriedly.
"It's hard to say. There are so many strong players in this game, I really can't say it." Xiao Nan shook his head and said. After seeing the professional performance of those people just now, Xiao Nan lost confidence in his level for the first time.
After hearing Xiao Nan's words, Xiaoling, who was already worried, had a heavier worry on her face at this moment.
In fact, Lu Wei's heart was not calm at this moment. At least there have been several competitions that Lu Wei has participated in. However, there has not been one time. As now, he is about to start playing, and he still can't calm down. In fact, this is no wonder. After all, it is the first time he has participated in a competition of this level, and he just saw the strong strength of the previous contestants. He said that he has no pressure in his heart, which is purely a lie.
Sitting in front of the piano, Lu Wei gently raised his hands and stroked the smooth key surface. The slightly cold touch made his center of the earth calm a little.
He let out a sigh of relief. Lu Wei tried not to think about the judges and the audience's eyes, so that he could immerse himself in his body and mind. After a moment, his hands were quickly moved on the keys.
Lister's Super Skills Etude 5 "Ghost Fire"
The ten fingers quickly raised and fell on the keys. The keys skillfully touched them and brought out a series of quick and quick short sentences, like a keen and thrilling flames on the ground.
Lu Weidi looked at the hands on the keys, and his face was serious and focused. This fast and difficult etude is played with great care even at his level. After all, for Liszt's etude, even for the famous pianist, he can't guarantee that he can play a note from beginning to end. It's really too fast!
The judges watched Lu Weidi perform, and there was no expression of surprise on their faces. For this level of competition, it was normal for the music with such difficulty to appear. The music with several contestants in front of Lu Wei. The difficulty of the music chosen by each person is not lower than this etude.
When he saw Lu Wei actually chose this song, he was also watching the competition venue in front of the TV, but was stunned for a moment.
"What the hell is this kid? How did you think of playing this song?" Wei Xiaofan thought with some annoyance. In his opinion, Lu Wei's musical work that he was best at playing was of course Beethoven's piano sonata. He didn't understand why Lu Wei abandoned the long and won the short in such a competition.
"Can this kid fall into the circle of pursuing difficulty?" Wei Xiaofan thought for a while, but he vaguely felt something.
At this moment, another teacher of Lu Wei, Kong Xiangdong, in the judges' seat, sighed slightly in his heart.
"Hey, it seems this kid is a little nervous."
Lu Wei's performance continued. His fingers were rising and falling on the keyboard at a rapid speed, agile and rapid, and everything looked so perfect. If it weren't for someone who was very familiar with him, he would definitely not be able to see that his mood was not calm at this moment.
"His previous performances never left the keys, and his eyes never left the keys. After all, it was the first time he participated in such a competition. He was only seventeen years old." Kong Xiangdong thought to himself.
Of course, in the eyes of other judges and audiences, Lu Wei's performance is still quite outstanding. Although he does not seem very comfortable, Lu Wei does it well in terms of grasping the music or displaying skills.
When the last quick note slipped from his fingertips, Lu Weina always had a little nervous center and finally eased a little. However, when he stood up to greet the audience and the judges, the smile on his face was a little far-fetched. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with his performance just now.
Compared to those entertainment reporters who were excited when Lu Wei appeared and still enthusiastic, the professional and serious music magazine reporters looked very dull. Their ears were very clever. Obviously, although Lu Wei's performance just now was very good, it was just "good", and it was just a normal player. The foreign journalists who had just seen some Chinese journalists excited expressions even showed a hint of confusion: This contestant's performance is very average, why are they so excited?
Influenced by his mentality just now, Lu Wei's performance in the next two links was not outstanding. It was just that in the improvisational part, Lu Wei's hands-based polyphony can be regarded as a relatively innovative highlight.
"Is this the best player sent by China? Its level is very average." In the audience, a Japanese male player spoke Japanese to the entourage next to him.
"Yes, even with this level, you can win the championship in the selection competition. It seems that the overall strength of the Chinese players this time is not very good." A middle-aged man with Ren Danhu next to him said with a smile.
"Following the information, this player is actually a student in school. I really don't understand how he passed the qualifiers, haha," the Japanese player who was like Li Yundi, who had long hair started to laugh.
Both of them spoke Japanese, so the contestants next to them were not sure what they were saying, but the smiles on the two people's faces clearly expressed the meaning of their words. The Chinese contestants next to them immediately showed unhappy expressions on their faces and looked at the two people over there.
It seemed as if they felt the unfriendly eyes of the few people. The two Japanese lowered their laughter slightly, but the contemptuous expression on their faces did not change much.
This small episode did not attract the attention of people on the field, and most of the attention was placed on the stage. At this moment, Lu Wei had finished the competition and walked off the stage. Zhou Tao had announced that the next contestant had come on stage.
On the top floor of the jury seat in a stepped shape, Grafman noticed that Zhou Guangren's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help but look at her with a few glances. He just noticed that when the Chinese player named Lu Wei appeared, Zhou Guangren's face showed a look of anticipation, and for some reason it turned out like this again.
"Hey, why is this child's performance so much worse than when he was in Beijing? Is it a stage fright?" Zhou Guangren thought in confusion. Although Lu Wei's performance just now had nothing wrong, it was because of this that it became the biggest problem. Such a performance may be considered very exciting in the eyes of ordinary people, but for people like Zhou Guangren and Grafman, it is difficult to get their inner recognition. After all, they have seen too many performances of this level.
When Lu Wei returned to his seat, his expression on his face did not change much. However, Xiaoling, who was standing beside him, still noticed something was wrong with Lu Wei's expression, touched him gently, and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Lu Wei said with a smile, but this smile fell into Xiaoling's eyes, but it was a bit reluctant to look at it no matter how you look at it.
"I'm pretending to me, didn't I play it well just now?" Xiaoling didn't know much about the piano, but just said with a guess.
"It's okay." Lu Wei didn't know why, but he felt a little annoyed in his heart. It seemed that something was blocking his chest, which made him feel very angry.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Lu Wei sat for a while, suddenly said something, then got up and walked out.
Walking into the bathroom, Lu Wei turned on the tap, scooped up a handful of cold water and threw it on his face a few times. Only then did he feel the inexplicable panic in his heart just now calm down.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?" Lu Wei felt a little surprised. Although he didn't participate in many competitions, it was the first time that such a situation occurred. For the first time, Lu Wei felt that his natural mind was not perfect.
