Chapter 338 The Wronged Organizing Committee

Nakamura Bai just took a look at He Shen, and didn't specifically approach to seek a relationship, but just took a look from a distance, and then walked away quickly.

From the corner of He Shen's vision, he also saw Nakamura Bai in the distance, his brows were slightly frowned. Similarly, he did not stop Nakamura Bai who was going away.

He just glanced at it, then set his sights on the concert hall in front of him, waiting for the end of the game.

It didn't take long, the first day of competition continued, and soon came to an end.

In the follow-up, just as He Shen imagined, although Nakamura Bai's strength was technically not far behind other players, such as Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting, they did not have a particularly large distance.

Therefore, he got the No.1 score, 98 points!
His personal interpretation of music is very good.

It can even be said that he has his own characteristics.

The traditional culture and cultural background in the direction of Dongying, and the background of the fusion of Western classical music directly moved the judges in Dongying.

That is to say, these Japanese judges may not particularly like the silent features of Japan.

But hearing that kind of interpretation with silence, hearing those Japanese characteristics in the music.

Obviously, no matter how much you don't like it, you are willing to give a high score.

This is home field advantage!
For example, in Huaguo, you interpret a work with oriental thoughts, such as universal love and non-aggression, such as tolerance of all things, such as hammer and sickle, if you can clearly hear such characteristics in your music.

Even if the judges don't like your interpretation very much, they can still give you a relatively good score.

This is inevitable. After all, every place has its own characteristics, and home court advantage is almost inevitable.

Even the previous Chopin International Piano Competition was the same.

But fortunately, most of the contestants don't have that kind of characteristic. Their understanding of music is still superficial.

It is still performed according to the teacher's idea, which lacks a lot of the player's own ideas.

So obviously...

Nakamura Shiro dominated the first round of the competition and almost crushed all the players.

The only players who could compete with him a little bit were Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting.

The strength of the two of them was equally strong on the first day of the competition.

It can even be said that without Nakamura Bai, the two of them would definitely win the No.1 in the schedule on the first day of the first round.

pity……

In the end, because of the existence of Nakamura Bai, the two of them failed to get the No.1 result.

Zhao Zitong's comprehensive score is 95.4 points, ranking No.3 among all the students.

Ji Mengting's score was 96.7 points, a little higher than Zhao Zitong's.

When Zhao Zitong left the stage, he gave Ji Mengting a little reminder, telling her that there was a very difficult contestant in this match, and asked her to use all her energy to deal with him.

Ji Mengting listened to Zhao Zitong's words, and she worked very hard to listen to Nakamura Bai's performance, extremely serious.

She also listened to Nakamura Bai's understanding of music, and knew exactly how Nakamura Bai's technique is.

But now there is a problem...

Her skills, if she goes all out, can surpass Nakamura Bai!
However, in her music, there is actually very little of her own. She just takes classes with He Shen and learns how to interpret music with He Shen, interpreting according to He Shen's ideas.

If it is placed on other competitions, it is enough to win the first place.

For example, in the Huaguo Higher Music Education Competition, her level can crush a lot of performers and become the top group of players.

But now it is not the kind of petty competition in China. This is a world-class competition, and there are players like Nakamura Bai in it.

Her own understanding of music is too little to be the threshold for her to enter high-level music clubs.

On the stage, on the stage of the first round of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, she almost tried her best to make the music technology in her hands reach the extreme.

It can even be said that some technologies that were not well done before have all been perfected in this place.

It can be said that it has surpassed the highest peak she can reach.

As a result, it is still a pity.

The judges felt that she did not have a deep understanding of music, the craftsmanship in the music was too strong, and the technical sense was too pure.

If it is the kind of music that is particularly showy, the music that exists only for technology is actually okay, and there is no problem in playing it like this.

But the problem is that there are very few Chopin pieces she played.

Even Chopin etudes, no one can play like this.

Therefore, Ji Mengting's achievements stopped here.

There is a general consensus around the world that Chopin's etudes cannot be played as etudes.

Chopin's etude is to be played as a piece of music, to play out the beauty of the music.

The aesthetic feeling in the music, in addition to those things taught by the teacher, also has many things that belong to the performer himself.

He Shen did not guide Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting at the beginning, but only taught them the most basic things.

The reason is simple, if the foundation is not laid, there is no way to do the icing on the cake.

The performer can express everything that belongs to him in the music, but there is a problem.

No matter how good his own stuff is, if it doesn't have the strongest foundation, then it's obvious...

In his music, there is just a pure emptiness, without any possibility of rising.

Music without a foundation is not music at all, but proof that one exists in one's own world.

Everything about music must be based on music before it can start to advance.

Therefore, He Shen has never guided Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting to use the most basic things to let them not pay attention to things other than music as much as possible.

Just focus on the fundamentals of the music you play.

This also led to the strength of Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting becoming particularly stable.

You can get a particularly high ranking in many competitions.

Even the Chopin International Piano Competition can get a relatively high ranking.

Apart from encountering someone with a particularly rich personal style and a much higher level than them, otherwise there is no possibility of surpassing them in the slightest.

After all, the foundation of the two of them was laid firmly by He Shen.

What He Shen originally thought was to take the two of them to win this game, and then go to Chopin to take the two of them to make some changes.

Unexpectedly, he met Nakamura Bai at the very beginning. He met this kind of performer who not only has strong skills, but also has a strong personal style.

This also just gave He Shen a chance, a possibility for Zhao Zitong and Mengting to take a step forward with their strength.

Let them really think about what they should understand about music, let them think about what their own music is.

In this way, they can truly grow.

Even if this Hamamatsu International Piano Competition did not succeed in getting the first and second place, it only got a qualification for promotion.

Well worth it!

Therefore, Ji Mengting got the No.2 result, and He Shen didn't say anything about the second round of the first round of competition, but just asked her to think a little more.

The achievements of Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting are actually unimaginable for others.

Although the two of them were not well-known before, they were He Shen's students after all, and they must have strength.

But Nakamura Bai was different, he became the blackest group of dark horses, stood in front of everyone, looked down on the crowd, and shocked countless people's glasses.

No one expected that Nakamura Bai could get No.1 in this round!No one can think like that.

Never thought about it that way.

But the truth is beyond everyone's expectations.

This time, Nakamura Bai scored 98.3 points in the first round of the competition, much higher than Ji Mengting.

His strong personal style, as well as his playing level comparable to Zhao Zitong and others, directly made his performance reach the peak of the first day of the first round.

No, not just the peak of the first day of the first round, he even created the peak of the first round!

He engraved his music on everyone's heart.

Even in the next few days, I couldn't escape his influence.

Among the contestants on the second day, the strongest contestant was a teacher from the Wuzhou Conservatory of Music in Huaguo. The highest score was only 95 points, not even as good as Zhao Zitong.

Except for him, the scores of normal players are basically around 90 points. Occasionally, there are a few players who can reach more than [-] points. Their strength is almost at the level that can enter the finals.

The level on the third day was even worse.

On the third day, the player with the highest score only scored 93 points.

Their overall level of strength, no one can reach the level of the first day of the first round.

When everyone was playing, the group of judges couldn't help but think of Nakamura Bai. After struggling for a while, they still didn't give a higher score.

Therefore, you can even say that the level of strength on the first day of the first round is the pinnacle of the entire game.

A group of staff members of the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition were dumbfounded. Looking at the distribution of their competitions, they felt a little numb.

Numerous complaints, countless reports flooded thinking about them.

Not only the complaints from the audience, but also the judges and the contestants are all complaining.

"What the hell? Why was the level of the first day so high? None of the players on the second day exceeded the level of the first day?"

"It's a little outrageous. What are you doing? What is your game arrangement? You don't understand if you don't see the king?"

"Although I agree with the fact that the king does not see the king, but the king sees the king, the sparks are even greater, and the game is more exciting!"

"Hehe, this is what your audience felt on the first day of the competition, so what about us audiences on the second and third day? What did we see? Only one player played particularly well, and the others were all so good. Little question."

"It's all problems, although there were problems on the first day, but! Those people are obviously the background board, and there is no possibility of entering the finals at all. It is normal for those people to look bad, but you can't compete for the first and second. Let's put the third player together?"

"Yeah, what are you kidding? As a player, the scene I saw was not too scary. As far as the interpretation of music by these three people is concerned, they are almost the strongest players in my imagination. Standing there, They can put a lot of pressure on us, have you considered the feelings of our players?"

"What's more outrageous, do you know what it is? What's even more outrageous is Zhao Zitong, No.3 in total score, the third appearance, Nakamura Bai, the first in total score, Ji Mengting, who appeared in fifth, second in total score, and No. Eight appearances! What are you kidding?"

"It's outrageous, it's outrageous, if you don't know how to distribute players, I suggest you resign and don't do it!"

"Kill yourself by caesarean, you bastards!"

"I spent so much money to let you come and show us this kind of game?"

"As a judge, you have raised my expectations for this competition. I originally thought that I could see a higher level of performance on the second and third day, but on the second and third day, you showed me This kind of game? I'm full of disappointment with you guys."

"Even if you put this game on the third day, is it better than on the first day?"

"..."

Countless people began to attack the organizing committee, and the people in the organizing committee stayed away. They looked at the comments, but they didn't dare to make any rebuttals at all.

After all, they are ranked according to the historical performance of the players.

Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting didn't have any commendable achievements in their news.

Even Nakamura Shiro...

Everyone looked at Nakamura Bai's results, and their expressions became even more distorted.

What was Nakamura Bai before, he was just an ordinary piano competition in eastern universities in Japan.

This is just a small half of Japan, with the vicinity of Tokyo as the radiation, and the competition not far away.

If you have played enough, it is a game that can be accomplished by combining dozens of high schools.

And among them is a competition that does not have any high schools attached to professional music schools.

The students who come out of this kind of competition are basically a reminder to those music colleges or universities with strong music direction, telling them that there is a competition for good students.

This kind of game is not a good game at all!

Therefore, if you look at the players on the first day, it is very obvious that the players on the first day are all ordinary students without any ability.

It all looks like a mess.

Even if Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting said he was a student of He Shen... so what?
Without any achievements, without any display of strength, they suddenly put the two of them in the best core position?
The game is not like that.

If you do this, what do other players think?Do you think the two of them went through the back door?
Moreover, if Zhao Zitong and Ji Mengting are not strong enough to completely screw up the first day of the game, then they may be scolded even worse.

If you look at those other players, they are not unknowns!

On the first day, there were no contestants with any previous experience. The contestant on the second day was a contestant from Wuzhou, Huaguo. He was the winner of the Huaguo Golden Piano Award, and he also won some other championships.

It is said that he has obtained the qualification to be the leader of Huaguo Wuzhou Conservatory of Music!
What is this kind of person doing if they don’t put them in the core position?
Then look at the others, look at the other contestants!

It's better to say that Nobuyuki Tsujii's student is not naked without any awards. He is also the champion of the Dongying Piano Competition.

He even won some championships in Europe.

Why can't this kind of person be placed at the core of the third day?
Purely from the perspective of arrangement, there is no problem, and it can even be said that they did a good job.

But they didn't expect that the two players they valued and considered the best were not qualified to compete for the top three in the first round.

And the top three in the first round were all taken away by the players on the first day.

How to play this?What are you kidding?

Countless staff members frowned when they saw the names of Zhao Zitong, Ji Mengting, and Nakamura Bai, wishing to eliminate these three people directly.

Unfortunately, it can't be done.

They even bowed and apologized because of this incident, a bow of more than ninety degrees!

For a moment, the emotions of grievances rippled in their hearts, making them extremely uncomfortable.
