I am really a language teacher

Chapter 210: Stunning the audience

Like the competition system of the Moscow Piano Competition, the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition also adopts the jury scoring system.It's just that there are as many as 15 judges in the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, and everyone is a well-known figure in the piano world.They are either senior professors at the Conservatory of Music, or chief pianists of famous orchestras.Although only Russian media participated in the report, Russia's two major television stations, Russian National Television and Russian Satellite Television, also had a live broadcast location in Moscow.

The venue of the entire Tchaikovsky Piano Competition is the Ekaterina Grand Theater in the Kremlin, which is the private theater of the Empress Ekaterina.Because the empress loves diamonds, this theater is also known as the Diamond Theater.The entire theater was decorated with a lot of gold, jewelry and diamonds, especially the three chandeliers directly above the stage, which are covered with diamonds of various colors, which are Russian national treasures.

As for the piano used for playing, it was a coming-of-age gift from the last Russian tsar to his eldest daughter. In addition to the exquisite materials, the whole piano is also embellished with the favorite pearls, amber and tortoiseshell of the last princess.According to the valuation of some collection magazines, the selling price of this piano is around [-] million US dollars, and it is still increasing every year.Therefore, it really takes a big heart to play on this piano.

The competition still starts from the youth group, and Jin Weijia's ranking in the field is relatively safe.But Sun Ping's position is a bit awkward, because he actually got the second place.Regardless of the game or the draft, everyone knows that the higher the position, the more dangerous it is.In order to reflect their objectivity and authority, the judges are also worried that there will be more powerful players behind them, so the top players are often picked on.Since the order of playing is determined by the draw of lots by the players themselves, Sun Ping can only admit that he is unlucky.

Compared with the Moscow Piano Competition, the level of the youth group of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition is much higher.Fortunately, Jin Weijia also noticed, so she didn't hold back at all during the game.Among the required repertoire, Jin Weijia chose Tchaikovsky's piano suite.Since it is the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, it is natural to choose Tchaikovsky's piano pieces to please the judges.

Jin Weijia's move was indeed approved by the judges, especially when Jin Weijia reproduced the strong Russian flavor in Tchaikovsky's piano music, the judges were a little moved.There are actually quite a few pianists who can play to this level, but compared to Jin Weijia's age, they are rare.At least Russia itself can't find such a genius, especially Jin Weijia is not yet 17 years old. If she can enter a professional piano school for a few more years of training, she will be heading for the title of piano master.

After the first round of the required repertoire competition, Jin Weijia has firmly occupied the first place.In the optional repertoire, Jin Weijia continued to choose Liszt's virtuosic piano piece.If it was an adult choice, the judges would probably think that he just wanted to show off his skills, but if it was a young man, the judges would only think it was the young man's disobedience and vigor.So when Jin Weijia's repertoire was mentioned by the host, several professor-level judges showed encouraging smiles.

In their view, although showing off skills deviates from the main purpose of piano performance, but young people, are you still called young people if they are not young and energetic?And more importantly, Jin Weijia's dazzling skills are also very good.Sure enough, Jin Weijia's score is still No.1 in the optional repertoire.In fact, there is no need to calculate, Jin Weijia has successfully won the youth group championship of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition.

At this time, Mi Wenbai was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Although he was not a reporter, he also notified his colleagues in the propaganda department to go to overseas websites to translate the news about Jin Weijia's championship.Naturally, the official website of the No. [-] Middle School should be recommended, followed by distribution to major media across the country.If it is normal news, the media will more or less ask for public relations expenses.But for this kind of news that wins glory for the country, the media of course don't care about the cost of public relations, and they all come up with the best resources to recommend.

Mi Wenbai sat down quite satisfied and prepared to enjoy the next competition. The competitions of the past few days also gave Mi Wenbai a little understanding of the piano world.It is a combination of luck and strength for Jin Weijia to win the championship in the youth group, but it is not so easy in the main competition group.Mi Wenbo didn't expect Sun Ping to win the prize either, he just hoped that Sun Ping could get a good ranking.Besides, even if Sun Ping's ranking is not so good, just being able to enter the final is already a victory.After all, Sun Ping is just a Chinese teacher.

The competition after the youth group is the juvenile group and the children's group. Although the excitement is not as good as the youth group just now, it is also very interesting to watch the cute children playing in front of the big piano.Compared with the degree of attention received by the youth group, the reporters in the youth group and the children's group were not enthusiastic, and only took a few photos to suit the occasion when the awards were presented.After the children's group was over, the main competition of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition officially started.

Since Sun Ping got the second place by lottery, according to regulations, in the round of the prescribed repertoire, he was No. 2 to play; but in the round of optional repertoire, he was the last No.Now that the first contestant has appeared, Sun Ping is naturally waiting in the background.It has to be said that this diamond theater is the private theater of the empress, even the lounge is magnificent.Sun Ping couldn't keep his eyes open from the glittering gold decorations. Every piece of furniture is an antique collection, and the oil paintings hanging on the walls are also priceless.Sure enough, the thinking of the Russians is the simplest. If you spend money, you artists will be dumbfounded.

There is also an antique piano in the lounge, which is said to be worth millions.Naturally, this piano was for the people waiting to try it out, and Sun Ping also went up to play it for a while.The keys made of ivory have turned yellow, but there is no problem with pitch or resonance.Sun Ping played a very simple piece to warm up his fingers.And not long after Sun Ping finished playing, the staff notified Sun Ping to prepare to play.

Sun Ping didn't hide his abilities during the finals. For those who got a master-level piano skill card, this kind of piano competition was like playing house wine.The master expresses the composer's emotions to the extreme, while the master is able to discover the composer's other emotions and express them in a way that returns to nature.Therefore, the general audience felt that there was nothing special about Sun Ping's performance, but the judges all showed serious expressions.

There are no gorgeous skills or exaggerated movements, every keystroke seems to be a stroll in the garden.But in this kind of indifference, a feeling of washing away the lead and showing a plain appearance surged out in everyone's hearts.There is no standard to measure art, everyone's best is different, but today everyone thinks that Sun Ping's performance is the best.

When Sun Ping played the last note, the scene was silent for 3 minutes, and then the applause seemed to explode.No judges would care about anything, they knew they were not qualified to comment on Sun Ping's skills, so everyone gave full marks.Perhaps it was also because someone like Sun Ping who looked up to the mountains appeared too early, which made the subsequent performances a little abnormal.When it came to the optional repertoire, Sun Ping's wonderful performance once again made everyone surrender under his fingers again.

As another champion of the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, Sun Ping was naturally surrounded by major media.To the amazement of overseas media, Sun Ping's language talent is as amazing as his piano talent.When interviewed by the media, whether in English or Russian, Sun Ping did not use an edited translation.And more importantly, Sun Ping is also familiar with the culture and history behind the language, and the casual slang or allusions make reporters feel like they are interviewing their own family members.

After dealing with the reporters, the domestic teams also came to congratulate.After all, everyone is from the same country, and the Aurora players who came to participate in the competition all feel honored.And at the celebration dinner that night, Sun Ping was undoubtedly the most dazzling person.At the invitation of the host of the dinner, Sun Ping once again presented a song on stage.Then Sun Ping felt that he was drinking continuously, and the Russians' drinking capacity was really not an exaggeration.Everyone drank from red wine to whiskey, and finally took out vodka.Fortunately, Sun Ping's physique was conditioned very well by the system, otherwise he would definitely be poisoned if he went on with so much alcohol.After returning to the hotel to rest for a day, Sun Ping and his party returned to China.

It was early morning when we arrived at Xingtan International Airport. Fortunately, Sun Ping asked someone to charter a car to take him and others back.Mi Wenbai asked Sun Ping to go home and rest for a few days, and then he went back to school with the trophies of Sun Ping and Jin Weijia.When Sun Ping returned home, it happened that Aunt Guo was preparing breakfast.

Sun Ping, who was tortured by the Russian breakfast, was naturally attracted by the soy milk fritters at home, and Aunt Guo also cooked a pot of millet porridge.

Aunt Guo was surprised when she saw Sun Ping come back, "Didn't you say that you went to Russia to participate in the piano competition? Why did you come back today? Didn't you call to inform?"

"The competition is over, I won a championship." Sun Ping added a bowl of millet porridge for himself, poured another cup of soy milk, then took some fried dough sticks and buns, and finally took two boiled eggs. "The food in Russia is really terrible! The Chinese food in the Four Seasons Hotel is too sweet, which is not to my taste at all."

"Since you think the things at home are good, don't run around." Father Sun also got up at this time, and walked to the dining table with his ipad. "Recently you are busy, Guo Yi is also busy, and even Sun Tao is busy, as long as we old couple are fine."

Sun Ping immediately shut up and didn't speak. Father Sun was obviously complaining. If he answered, he would definitely be scolded to death.But Sun Ping thought for a while, and said: "Dad, your company is basically out of town, and Taojiang is just the headquarters. How about we consider moving to Tanzhou? My company is also in Tanzhou. Yi also works in Tanzhou."

Father Sun became interested in Sun Ping's proposal. His Educational Publishing Group was actually a fake headquarters in Taojiang City, so it would not be a big problem if he really wanted to move to Tanzhou.What's more, the Zhou family can help introduce the property, and he can also get a high-end headquarters. "What about you? Didn't you do well in Taojiang No. [-] Middle School?"

"Where do I become a teacher?" Sun Ping smiled, "I received an invitation email from Donghai Dongfang Education and Training Group some time ago. They are preparing for the Oriental Academy in Xingtan City, from elementary school to high school. consistent school."
