Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

Beijing Central Conservatory of Music, Concert Hall.

In the rest area, Mother Zhao accompanied Zhao An and Ji Jiashu in the waiting area.

Ji Jiashu straightened his chest and sat on the chair, holding his thighs with both hands, without saying a word.But judging from Ji Jiashu's slightly undulating fingers, Zhao An knew that Ji Jiashu was silently writing.

This means that Ji Jiashu is still a little nervous, but Zhao An, who knows the repertoire of Ji Jiashu's competition, can see from the vibration frequency of Ji Jiashu's fingers that Ji Jiashu has not lost his position due to nervousness, and the beat with his feet is still the same. To be more accurate, Zhao An did not stop Ji Jiashu.

The vast majority of performers have a history of nervousness and apprehension, so there is no need to encourage them.

On the contrary, Zhao's mother on the side was more nervous and kept observing the other players around her.

Mother Zhao whispered in Zhao An's ear:

"Fortunately, you took Xiaoshu to rent clothes in advance. This competition is too solemn."

Zhao An had seen Ji Jiashu's luggage a long time ago, and he knew that Ji Jiashu didn't have special costumes for performances.For this trip, Ji Mu only prepared a set of shirts and a pair of more formal trousers for Ji Jiashu.

However, in Zhao An's opinion, this kind of attire was still too casual, so he decided to rent a performance costume for Ji Jiashu.

On the second day after arriving in the capital, Zhao An had already paid attention to the surrounding streets when he was reporting at the Central Conservatory of Music.

Because it is a conservatory, there are quite a lot of performances and competitions by students, and there are quite a lot of rental shops.

Zhao An has not considered buying formal clothes for Ji Jiashu either. One is that there is not enough time, and the other is that suits should be decent. According to Ji Jiashu's current growth rate, if he buys a suit today, it may not fit him by the end of the year.

Fortunately, Ji Jiashu is now 1.7 meters tall. Zhao An then used pins to temporarily adjust the size of Ji Jiashu's waist, hands, and legs, and the S-size clothing could barely support it.

Zhao An didn't let Ji Jiashu choose a tuxedo. The capital city was still too hot at the end of August. It would be a joke to wear a tuxedo to suffer from heat stroke during the competition.

Black leather shoes, stockings and trousers wrapped Ji Jiashu's long legs.Although Ji Jiashu's legs are not muscular enough, there is no way to fully support the trousers, showing a sense of strength.

But the victory lies in Ji Jiashu's straight legs, and the smooth transition of thigh muscles, knee joints, and calf muscles.Although Ji Jiashu is only 1.7 meters tall now, his body proportions are first-class, and he does feel a bit tall and straight.

Ji Jiashu wore a white shirt on his upper body, neatly tucked into his trousers.A black vest was worn outside, outlining the lines of Ji Jiashu's back and waist.The red bow tie on the neckline makes Ji Jiashu look particularly energetic.

Zhao An has performed countless times in suits, and his understanding of suit etiquette and collocation is absolutely top-notch.

Chosen and adjusted by Zhao An, even the temporarily rented performance costumes are much more eye-catching than other contestants.

Zhao's mother didn't notice these subtle differences, she just felt that these children were very formally dressed and a little nervous.

"No. 23, Ji Jiashu."

Zhao An immediately accompanied Ji Jiashu to the backstage to check his identity.Before Ji Jiashu took the stage, Zhao An still said:

"Don't be too nervous, I'm here waiting for you."

"Ah."

Ji Jiashu hugged Zhao An tightly, and walked to the stage after a few seconds.And Zhao An stood where he was, watching Ji Jiashu bow and take his seat.

The yellow light, the black teaching piano, and the crimson curtain, Zhao An was all too familiar with all these.

All Zhao An's thoughts at this time are: as long as Ji Jiashu can perform normally, it will be fine.

The sound of the piano sounded, an etude in Czerny 740.

Czerny and Hanon should be the inescapable pianists in the Chinese piano learning process. Zhao An used to practice Czerny over and over again. It was not until he went abroad for exchanges and further studies that he discovered that such practice methods It is not mainstream abroad.

Zhao An also thought about whether he should adopt some more internationally accepted and recognized learning methods when Ji Jiashu started.

However, thinking of domestic grading examinations and competitions, these etudes could never be bypassed. Zhao An finally gave up this idea and practiced with Ji Jiashu over and over again.

Etudes are often boring and have high requirements for fingering.But Ji Jiashu's concentration allowed him to study meticulously.

At the end of the piece, there is no mistake in the etude.

Zhao An finally felt relieved.

When playing, the first piece is often very nervous. Once the first piece can be played accurately, the confidence in subsequent performances will increase greatly.

This is followed by an allegro movement from a sonata of one's choice.

The so-called sonata is a way of writing instrumental music, which is often composed of multiple movements, while the allegro is a musical rhythm with a beat rate of around 132[1].

Zhao An and Ji Jiashu listened to many tapes together, and Ji Jiashu finally chose Beethoven's "D major Op10No3".

This instrument was born before the "Pathetique", one of the three middle sonatas that Beethoven dedicated to Countess Brown.

That period happened to be the days when Beethoven's hearing gradually weakened, and his emotional expression should be complex and deep, but this piece was rarely bright and brisk.

At this time, the musical notes under Ji Jiashu's fingers jumped out one after another, which was very interesting and made people feel strange and mysterious.

From the technical level alone, Ji Jiashu performed quite well.

Ji Jiashu played with his head down all the time, and did not try to spy on the expressions of the judges, obviously he had forgotten himself in the piano.

In the end, you need to play 1-2 pieces of your own choice, but it is stipulated that one of them must be Chopin's waltz.

Originally, time was tight, so Zhao An suggested that Ji Jiashu choose only one Chopin waltz.This waltz is "Waltzes No. 1'Grande Valse Brilnte' in Eft, Op. 18" finalized by Zhao An and Ji Jiashu.

Although there are several more well-known pieces in Chopin's waltz, such as "Puppy Waltz" (op64no.1) and "C-sharp Minor Waltz" (op64no. 2) Wait.

But since it has been decided that only one piece will be played in the final, it must be difficult.

This waltz is technically difficult, large in scale, and magnificent. It is definitely the most suitable type of repertoire for the Huaxia competition, and this is also Zhao An's experience in the Chinese piano field for many years.

The most important indicator in China's piano competitions and assessments is difficulty.

Especially in the 90s when the piano was not so popular, for non-professionals, the most important thing is to perform a difficult piece without mistakes.

On the contrary, they don't pay much attention to the personal expression of the repertoire's emotions. This is very close to Huaxia's educational philosophy, which focuses on basic exercises.

Another reason is that this waltz is quite brisk, and the happy track will always remind Zhao An of Ji Jiashu.

After the performance, Ji Jiashu stood up from the piano chair, walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the judges and left.

Zhao An is very satisfied with Ji Jiashu's performance. Now Ji Jiashu is not suitable to play some emotional and passionate works, which is difficult to control.It is more suitable for Ji Jiashu to play this relatively compact and brisk repertoire on stage.

Zhao An didn't always listen to other players' performances from behind the stage, but just comparing with the previous players, Zhao An can assert that Ji Jiashu's performance is better.

Seeing Ji Jiashu's unhurried movements, Zhao An praised Ji Jiashu in his heart: It's not bad, the typhoon is quite good.

I just walked behind the scenes, after making sure that the judges could no longer see me.Ji Jiashu changed his slow pace just now and ran towards Zhao An.

Zhao An really wanted to tell Ji Jiashu to slow down, but he couldn't make a sound due to etiquette, so he had to open his arms.

If Ji Jiashu didn't come to hug him, Zhao An himself wouldn't believe it.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his arms, Zhao An felt a huge impact from his chest, and Ji Jiashu had already thrown himself into Zhao An's arms.

Ji Jiashu usually doesn't have such great strength, why is he so strong every time he hugs him.Zhao An couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

But Ji Jiashu didn't give Zhao An time to think, and asked excitedly, "How is it? How was my performance just now?"

Zhao An wanted to praise Ji Jiashu, but the staff at the side said first, "Don't chat here."

Ji Jiashu also calmed down a little from the excitement just now, and said to the staff: "I'm sorry."

Then Zhao An and the others left the rest area first. The competition will last for two days, and the results will be announced tomorrow.

Next is the time for Zhao An to praise Ji Jiashu in a fancy way. Zhao An is not worried that Ji Jiashu will be proud of it.

Every time the two of them practiced the piano, Ji Jiashu tried his best to chase him.

The next day, the results were announced.

"The winners of the amateur group will be announced next."

The host is holding a list on the stage that attracts the attention of everyone present.

The Excellence Award and the Third Prize have been announced one after another. Ji Jiashu looked forward to hearing his name every time, but he never showed up.

On the other hand, Zhao An wasn't so worried. Although Ji Jiashu hadn't studied the piano for more than three years, he was full of talent, enthusiasm, and hard work. His level was definitely at the top among his peers.

There is a huge difference between the effect of voluntary piano practice for three hours and the effect of being forced to practice piano.

But Zhao An felt that Ji Jiashu's rich and varied expressions were quite interesting, so he didn't say anything to comfort him.Of course, part of the reason is that such tension is conducive to the growth of Ji Jiashu.

The second prize also finished reading quickly, and still didn't hear his name, and now Ji Jiashu's expression became more complicated.

Anticipation, doubt, nervousness, worry...

Feeling his right hand being grabbed suddenly at this moment, Zhao An looked down, and Ji Jiashu grabbed the back of his hand because of nervousness, but he hadn't noticed yet.

Smiling unconsciously, Zhao An flipped his palm and patted the back of Ji Jiashu's hand. Ji Jiashu relaxed a lot in an instant, and leaned back on the chair.

As a result, this posture has not been maintained for 1 minute, and the host read out the final list:

"First prize, candidate 1204: Ji Jiashu..."

Ji Jiashu turned around excitedly, and whispered nervously: "An'an, I won the prize! No.1!

"

"The above students are invited to come to the stage to accept the award."

"Go up quickly." Zhao An urged Ji Jiashu to come on stage.

After Ji Jiashu got the certificate on the stage, he held up the certificate and waved it.

The judges on the side all showed understanding smiles. This kid is announcing the good news to his family.

Zhao An knew that Ji Jiashu's eyes were locked on him at this time, not to show off, but to share joy.

Zhao An suddenly thought of a question: I won so many awards in my previous life, besides telling my parents so that they don't have to worry about me, who else can I share the joy with?

Looking at the smile Ji Jiashu showed to him, all the regrets about the Xinghai Cup disappeared in Zhao An's heart.

Let's accompany Ji Jiashu to win more awards in the future!

Zhao's mother, who was also very happy, took the two of them to dinner at a very famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing at night.Zhao's mother ordered a table full of delicacies, and the three of them were still full when they went to bed at night.

Perhaps because of the excitement after winning the award, or because he ate too much at night, Ji Jiashu kept tossing and turning on his bed.

"An'an, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Would you like to accompany me next time?"

"Why, are you sure that I will not participate in the competition?"

Zhao An deliberately teases Ji Jiashu.He didn't expect Ji Jiashu to sit up from the bed immediately, and turned to face Zhao An.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Ji Jiashu's tone was filled with guilt.

Zhao An didn't expect Ji Jiashu to react so strongly, he got up and said:

"Don't worry, I will accompany you every game in the future."

"Ah."

Ji Jiashu nodded heavily.

After drawing the curtains and turning off the lights, the room was pitch black, but Zhao An felt that he could see Ji Jiashu's smile, which was clear and bright enough to illuminate everything.
