The world's number one pianist

Since He Shen has been walking back and forth between the basement and Zhao Zitong's house, he would only deviate from the route a few times and go to Wang Pei's Symphony Piano Shop. Apart from these places, He Shen has nowhere else to go.

Whether it is his basement, Wang Pei's Symphony Piano Shop, or Zhao Zitong's house, there are very few things related to the Golden Piano Award.

Let's not talk about He Shen's basement and Zhao Zitong's house. Although Wang Pei's Symphony Piano Shop also teaches music, the Golden Piano Award has nothing to do with them. In addition, no one in their school was shortlisted for the Golden Piano Award, so Wang Pei was too lazy to redecorate for the Golden Piano Award.

After all, decorating for the Golden Piano Award will not make any money at all. It is better not to let parents pay attention to this matter and remind them verbally to watch the competition.

Therefore, He Shen did not feel any atmosphere about the Golden Piano Award.

If he often went out, especially to the central streets and the most prosperous areas in the entire city, he would find out how popular the Golden Piano Award is in this city!

On both sides of the street lamps, there are all the Golden Piano Award logos, and there are also Golden Piano Award posters on the roadside, promoting the status and origin of the Golden Piano Award.

"The highest-ranking music award in the whole of China!"

"A piano and violin feast held every four years!"

"Unparalleled musical enjoyment!"

Slogans like these have been posted all over the city!

When He Shen walked out of the car, the first thing that caught his eye, besides the flying balloons and banners, was the signature wall at the main entrance of the concert hall.

At the bottom of the signature wall, there were a lot of names that were about to participate in the competition. These names were written with black signature pens, some were flying and dancing, and some were regular. Everyone had their own characteristics.

At the top of the signature wall were printed all the names of the contestants who had won the competition, as well as the names of the judges and guests.

However... among these names, one name was covered by a white strip of cloth, and it was completely impossible to see who was under the strip of cloth.

Zhou San hurriedly got out of the car, found a nearby staff member, and handed He Shen a competition card and a piece of paper.

"Here, here are your entry card and repertoire list. The preliminaries will be held in the small concert hall, which is a very small concert hall that can only accommodate about 160 people. You will know when you enter the theater. There are staff there who will give you instructions."

"Yes, thank you."

He Shen took the entry card and repertoire list from Zhou San, and then pointed to the white cloth on the signature wall and asked curiously.

"I want to ask, who is the person covered by this white cloth?"

"This white cloth..."

Zhou San's face flashed a gloomy look, and he pointed to the white cloth.

"A damned dead man, Li Diyun, you know, the Xiao Contest champion, he was arrested, and most likely he will be detained for 15 days. Damn, we used him for publicity, saying that the Xiao Contest judge would be a judge for the Golden Piano Awards, all the publicity money was lost, and several of the sponsors also ran away!"

"Arrested? What happened?"

He Shen asked curiously. He had been practicing the piano and didn't care about these things at all. Suddenly he heard that the judge was arrested and was detained for 15 days, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Seeing He Shen's curious eyes, Zhou San waved his hand casually and said disdainfully.

"What else could it be? It's just those bullshit things between men and women! I didn't do my job well, and I was arrested as soon as I found someone!"

"Really, I'm so annoyed. I ran around to invite him over, and spent so many social resources, but in the end you did this to me? Isn't this fooling me?"

"Disgusting, really disgusting! I have to explain this mistake to the Golden Piano Award Organizing Committee, and I may be attacked by others for it."

Zhou San shook his head and walked towards the office of the Grand Theater. Halfway through, something suddenly sounded, and he pointed at He Shen.

"If you win the championship in this competition, you have to pay attention to me in the future. Don't do these things for me. If you do, then you can't get along in China in the future."

After that, without waiting for He Shen to answer, he left angrily and disappeared in the Grand Theater soon.

He Shen was about to call Zhao Zitong into the concert hall, but found that Zhao Zitong was excited and had a look of eating melons on her face. He couldn't help but pat her head and knocked her out of her eating melon state.

"Let's go to the concert hall and prepare for the competition."

After saying that, he walked directly to the Grand Theater without waiting for Zhao Zitong to catch up.

Zhao Zitong was beaten out of her state of eating melons. Just when she was about to get angry, she found that He Shen had already run a long way. She couldn't help but mutter a few words, and hurried to catch up, walking carefully behind him.

As Zhou San said before, there were staff members inside to show the way, so when He Shen just entered, several sharp-eyed staff members hurried over, looked at the competition card in front of He Shen, and asked cautiously.

"Hello, are you here to participate in the Golden Piano preliminary competition?"

"Yes, this is my repertoire list."

He Shen took out the repertoire list, quickly wrote down the piece he was going to play later, and handed it to the staff.

The staff did not take it, but took a small step back and stretched out his hand.

"Sorry, this repertoire list is not for me, but another staff member will sign for it. I just saw that your number is 4-14, which means you will perform in the No. 4 small concert hall, the 14th position. Please follow me."

After that, he ran forward two steps quickly, guiding He Shen to the largest concert hall... the small concert hall next to it.

The largest concert hall was spherical, and through the glass, you could see a total of five floors. The small concert hall that He Shen was going to was next to the big ball, with a simple little door with a 4 printed on it.

He Shen took Zhao Zitong into the concert hall and found that this small concert hall was like a lecture hall. There was a raised stage at the front with a piano on the stage.

Then under the stage, there were seats, which were divided into two rows and arranged in sequence backwards.

After the staff took away He Shen's repertoire list, they left first.

He Shen took Zhao Zitong to find a seat where no one was sitting at random, looked at the performer in the center of the stage, listened to the music he played, and nodded silently.

Mozart's K331 Sonata, the third movement, was played very clearly and with distinct grains.

However, that was all. His notes were too distinct, just like knocking on wood, boring and sleepy.

The judges sat in the middle of the audience, spinning their pens while listening to the performance of the performer on the stage. They were also bored.

According to the rules, they had to listen to the entire piece and could not stop it early. They could only endure the torture of this music and wait for the performer to get stuck or finish.
