The audience closed their eyes and listened quietly, and the judges nodded from time to time. Although there were still academic judges who disagreed with this in their hearts, they still had to be convinced by Su Lu's superb playing skills. Even so fast, There are no mispronouncements, nor is there any rush to play the next note that makes the previous note sound less full.

"He's a genius with character."

Many judges made such an evaluation in their hearts.

Soon, Su Lu once again conquered the audience and judges with his passion for this song Dongfeng.

The judges quickly scored the performance of the first piece and looked forward to the second piece.

Su Lu clenched his fists, relieved each finger, and then started the next song.

The right hand began to contract lightly on the keys, and the left hand also jumped up and down sideways, and the cheerful melody also sounded.

This etude called "Butterfly" has a melody as light as its name, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

Of course, Su Lu's hands also showed a degree of flexibility different from other performers, with a happy expression on his face, a slight smile, eyes closed, and his hands moving dramatically. Probably really as active as two butterflies.

The judges once again sighed, with such a flexible wrist and control over fingers, including familiarity with the keyboard, it is impossible not to enter the semi-finals.

This etude was only 1 minute long, so Su Lu quickly finished playing and started the third piece, which was a nocturne of his choice.

He played the Nocturne in E flat major, which is the most popular among Chopin's nocturnes. As soon as this piece was played, the attention of the audience was all raised.

After the song ended, several audience members couldn't help applauding. After clapping twice, they suddenly realized that they couldn't applaud, so they gave up.

But watching the judges nod and smile every now and then says it all.

For the fourth piece, Su Lu chose Chopin's Fourth Scherzo, which still showed his unique playing style.

At the end of the four pieces, the applause rang out like thunder. Although many listeners just came to listen to it, more listeners actually had higher musical quality, so they knew the technique contained in Su Lu's performance.

More than a dozen judges did not hesitate to applaud them, and exchanged opinions with the judges next to them from time to time while applauding.

The judges who adhered to the academic concept approved but did not support it, while the judges who had a relatively free concept strongly agreed, thinking that Su Lu played the music they wanted to hear, but all in all, the scores given were quite high.

This also showed that Su Lu passed the first round without any suspense.

And every contestant sitting in the auditorium, apart from feeling a headache because there was another strong opponent on the way, could not help but secretly admire Su Lu in their hearts. Such a performance was what they wanted, but they themselves If they couldn't do it, Su Lu successfully conquered them!

Regardless of how the other contestants and audience commented on Su Lu, after Su Lu finished his performance, his face was filled with a confident smile, and he seemed to be very aggressive.

He got up, closed the front of his suit, faced the audience with his head held high, then bowed solemnly, bent down for two seconds before getting up, and he was not in a hurry, which meant that he was not excited by his performance at all.

Of course, whether the audience can understand the deep meaning of his action is another matter.

Without stopping any longer, he turned around and walked down the stage, leaving the rest of the stage for the next performer.

…………

Today's game ended, Su Lu and Ning Shiyuan returned to the hotel amid Sterling's enthusiasm.

As soon as the door was closed, Ning Shiyuan jumped onto Su Lu's body.

"Brother! You were so handsome just now!"

Su Lu quickly reached out and hugged her to prevent her from falling: "The time when I was handsome was never limited to the time range of 'just now', but spread to every corner of the world, and will continue until the end of time .”

Ning Shiyuan gave him a blank look, stretched out her hand and pinched his nose, "Yes, yes, everything you said is right!"

Su Lu smiled, and then felt that his physical strength was quite abundant. In addition, the second round of competition started on October [-]th, and there were still four days before it started, so...

"Honey, I think..."

Ning Shiyuan froze for a moment, glanced at Su Lu's eyes, and quickly said: "No! You don't want to!"

"No, I think so."

…………

The first round of the competition, which lasted for five days, finally came to an end. Forty contestants were eliminated, and only forty remained in the end. The cruel elimination rate made an unknown number of contestants cry.

But this is often the case in competitions, either pass all the way, or come again next time, or never come again next time.

Of course, for the forty contestants who have successfully advanced to the second round, these days are undoubtedly worthy of celebration, but it also means that they still have to face more pressured competition in the future.

So for the rest of these days, every contestant began to practice the repertoire they prepared desperately. After all, it is too late to sharpen their guns before the battle. What's more, these players have been sharpening their guns for at least ten years.

However, as a special player, Su Lu naturally didn't go to any piano room to practice the piano. On the contrary, he and Ning Shiyuan traveled in Warsaw for a few days. Even though Ning Shiyuan urged him to practice the piano, he also expressed that he didn't have to worry about it. .

In this way, the second round came as scheduled. During the four-day competition, ten contestants completed their competition every day. Su Lu was ranked second in the afternoon field of the second day. His style and appearance, which are relatively easier to get a good impression of, have made many people know him.

In this round of the competition, Su Lu passed again without any accidents, and continued to march forward into the third round, which is the semi-finals.

In the second round, half of the players were eliminated again, which meant that there were only twenty contestants left in the third round.

The remaining [-] contestants are all geniuses on the piano. Except for Su Lu, everyone has been admired by friends or teachers since they were young.

In fact, these things have been mentioned in the interviews with these players. After all, the awards that these players have won are already considered materials to prove their excellence.

However, among the twenty contestants, only Su Lu caused deep incomprehension.

How did this guy from China, who had never won a prize before, go to the Chopin Piano Competition and become this very powerful dark horse?

So a video was posted on the official website.

Every player will be interviewed before each game. In fact, just watch the game video, you can know that there are at least a dozen or twenty news agencies paying attention to this game.

Of course, Su Lu was also interviewed, especially this time he successfully entered the semi-finals, others' interest in him naturally increased a lot, and the video that was posted on the official website was about his entering the semi-finals. interview.

As soon as this video was released, it was edited by a Chinese who followed Xiao Sai and posted on the Internet. As a result, it accidentally aroused the interest of many piano lovers.

When these people clicked on the video, they saw a man who perfectly fit the aesthetics of Chinese people appeared on the screen, and a subtitle appeared next to it, introducing Su Lu.

"The semi-finalist of this year's Chopin International Piano Competition, Su Lu, a native of Huaxia, has never won other awards before, nor has he made any achievements on the piano, but he became a blockbuster in this Chopin competition and became the leader among the contestants. A dark horse, in the semi-finals and in the final."

Seeing this letter, no matter whether it is a professional or a non-professional piano student, it is unclear.

Xiao Sai semi-finals, the iron boss.

Someone who pays a little attention to finance, or has a slightly better memory, is stunned when he sees this face, and then thinks about the name, and immediately uses the name "Sulu" on Baidu, and then finds a picture of Sulu's original name. Compared with the photos at the symposium of entrepreneurs and experts, isn’t this the same person?

People were shocked immediately.

It was agreed to engage in finance, why did you go to engage in piano again?

And why did they make it to the semi-finals of Xiao Sai?

The original melon eaters continued to watch the interview video in a daze.
