world number one pianist

Chapter 56
On the next day, which was the day of the semi-finals of the Golden Piano Awards, all the contestants got up very early, and arrived near the Grand Theater around seven o'clock.

He Shen thought that he came early, but in fact he was not.

After registering with the staff, it was found that the eighteen contestants who entered the semi-finals had almost arrived, and only the last few remained.

For example, Yue Li from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music, the performer with a particularly strong sense of oppression in the last round, and his senior.

He Shen glanced at the name on the sign-in form, didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and went back to the door, and continued to wait for the staff's admission notice.

Now everyone is waiting outside the Grand Theater. According to the information from the staff, the Grand Theater will open at about 08:30 and let everyone in.

The start time of the game is nine o'clock in the morning, and the game will be played at the rhythm of one person for half an hour.

However, some people often choose longer works, so their works will be delayed for a long time, resulting in performances of 45 minutes or longer.

Therefore, the organizing committee will divide the 18 people who entered the semi-finals into four half-days.

Four people in the morning and five people in the afternoon competed for two consecutive days, and the final eight people were decided.

In the end, eight people won No.1, No.2, No.3, and some other awards.

Zhao Zitong got a little impatient waiting, so he said hello to He Shen, and went to ask for tickets to the concert hall on Wednesday.

He Shen did not refuse. Not long after Zhao Zitong was let go, a bus stopped at the gate of the Jiangzhou Grand Theater. A group of people got off the bus. Standing at the front was the representative of Wuzhou young musicians, Yue Li. .

Standing behind him was a large group of staff and some students who seemed to be here to watch the game.

Yue Li stood upright, straightened his back, swept across the crowd casually, and immediately found He Shen who was standing in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved at the staff behind him, walked up to He Shen, and said.

"Meet you again, He Shen, congratulations on your entry to the semi-finals."

"En." He Shen's tone didn't change at all, he just replied lightly.

Yue Li seemed to have gotten used to He Shen's indifference, so he continued directly.

"I watched your performance, it's very good, very powerful, I like your performance very much."

"In order to compete with you, I decided to take out my bottom-of-the-box works in this competition."

"So... can I have a merciless request? I hope you can show all your abilities. Don't just show half of it because the competition is not difficult enough. I want to witness your full strength."

"???"

He Shen looked at Yue Li inexplicably, shook his head immediately without hesitation. "No, not enough physical strength."

"Is that so..."

Yue Li was silent, and soon, he put the embarrassment aside, bared his teeth and smiled and patted He Shen on the shoulder.

"Since you don't agree, forget it. No matter what, I will play the works that I made at the bottom of the box. I hope you like it."

After all, he waved to He Shen, and then walked in the direction he came from. The staff who followed him down had already registered his identity.

After about a while, the staff responsible for the Golden Piano Awards came over, flipped through the forms in their hands, and called out the contestants' names on the forms.

"Chen Qi! I'll be the first one to appear today, come here and get your ID"

A man walked out from the crowd, took the ID from the staff member, put it in his pocket, followed another staff member, and walked towards the Grand Theater.

"The second place this morning is Wang Xingyang."

"The third one this morning..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but He Shen felt that when the staff read the number four, they obviously paused, and then they shouted.

"The third place is Yue Li."

Yue Li walked out of the crowd, smiled and nodded at the people around him, then reached out to take the ID from the staff, and walked towards the grand theater.

When he took the card, He Shen felt a light flashing in front of him. Looking carefully, he found that Yue Li had worn a finger puller on his thumb.

This finger reflects the sunlight, revealing Yue Li's arrogance, like a conqueror, trying to conquer this game.

"Huh? He Shen, do you feel that this person is so domineering! It's like that kind of character, a leader."

Zhao Zitong, who went to get the tickets before, came back from behind He Shen, looked at Yue Li who was walking into the concert hall, frowned, and asked He Shen.

"Hey, He Shen, do you think you can beat him?"

"perhaps."

He Shen said lightly that he didn't care how powerful those people were on the outside, what kind of works they could play in the real arena was the key.

Zhao Zitong didn't understand He Shen's meaning at all, she continued to complain about He Shen's salted fish facial paralysis.

He Shen ignored Zhao Zitong, and he quietly waited for the fifth contestant in the morning.

Unexpectedly, after Yue Li, the staff member called out his name.

"The last one this morning, He Shen!"

He Shen was stunned for a moment, and patted Zhao Zitong on the shoulder. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, reached out to take the sign from the staff member, and walked towards the interior of the Grand Theater.

As he walked towards the grand theater, an idea suddenly popped into He Shen's mind.

Is it intentional to put myself behind Yue Li?Or by chance?
After this thought passed through He Shen's mind casually, it disappeared immediately.

It doesn't matter whether it is intentional or accidental, on the field of competition, in the end, only your professional level will be watched.

He Shen followed the staff leading the way towards the Grand Theater. The competition this time was still in the largest concert hall in the Grand Theater, but the difference was that the lounge that He Shen used this time was no longer the large one. A common room, not a single room.

After the staff took He Shen to a few turns in the backstage, they took He Shen to a long corridor behind the stage. There were seven or eight small doors in the corridor, all of which were written with the word lounge.

After the staff checked the information, they stretched out their hands and opened the door. The first thing He Shen saw was a sofa for two and a coffee table besides the dazzling makeup table.

There are bananas and mineral water on the dressing table, and some oranges on the coffee table.

"Please wait here for the contestant. There is a real-time broadcast TV on the wall here. You can choose to turn it on and watch it, or you can choose to turn it off and rest quietly."

"The bananas, water, and oranges on the table are all free to eat. If you don't have enough, you can ask us for more."

"If you have any special needs, you can tell us, we are at the entrance of the corridor."

"If you need help with stage makeup, we also have staff here who can help."

After all, the staff member gave He Shen a tentative look, and after confirming that He Shen said there was no problem, he stretched out his hand and pulled the door open to block out all the noise.

He Shen looked at the brightly lit lounge, took out an orange-flavored lollipop from his pocket, looked at the oranges on the coffee table, hesitated for a moment, and gently pushed aside the plastic paper of the orange-flavored lollipop , put the lollipop in your mouth.

The live TV signal was switched on, and the situation in the concert hall instantly appeared on the screen.
