This star’s style is wrong

After signing Lan Hai's endorsement deal, Qiao Yinghong took the studio's employees out to celebrate the success of the team building.

This time, he signed a two-year endorsement deal worth 30 million yuan with Lanhai, and all the studio employees received big red envelopes from Fang Xingfa.

In the next few days, the shooting team hired by Lanhai began to shoot Fang Xing's commercial.

Fang Xing wore Lan Hai's clothes and stood in front of the camera, posing in various poses to cooperate with the shooting.

The first day was studio shooting, and the second day I shot some outdoor scenes.

Even if you are just standing as a model, shooting for half a day is quite tiring.

After filming the Lanhai commercial, Fang Xing booked a flight and flew to Genoa, Italy alone.

Genoa is the hometown of violin master Paganini, so the Paganini International Violin Competition is usually held in Genoa.

Lu Xiang'er is going to participate in the preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition and has arrived in Genoa one day in advance to prepare for the competition.

Fang Xing flew over just after finishing his work. According to the address given by Lu Xiang'er, he found the training room where she practiced the piano and stood outside the window to watch her play.

In the elegantly decorated training room, Lu Xiang'er stood in the middle of the room, with the light above her head falling on her curved eyelashes. Without eye makeup, she looked even more natural and delicate.

The melodious sound of the violin came from the training room.

Fang Xing listened quietly, carefully listening to every note she played.

Lu Xiang'er played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", and the brisk piano sound was as cheerful as her mood.

After listening to her practice, Fang Xing already had a rough idea.

After all, I have been in the music field for most of my life, so I can naturally tell the level of Lu Xiang'er's song.

Compared with the first time I heard her play the violin, the current "Moonlight Sonata" is a great improvement.

In fact, the last time Lu Xiang'er participated in the violin competition in Donghai, her level was already very good.

In the past two months, there has been progress again.

If you keep this pace of progress, you might really be able to achieve something on the violin.

Fang Xing took out his cell phone and took a picture of Lu Xiang'er practicing the piano. He watched it for a while and then left to find a place to eat.

While eating, I sent the photos I took to Lu Xiang'er.

After half an hour, Lu Xiang'er replied to WeChat.

Lu Xiang'er: Have you arrived in Genoa? (Cute pet shocked.jpg)

Fang Xing: No, I hacked into the camera and took it.

Lu Xiang'er: Where are you?

Fang Xing: Eating.

After posting this, I took a photo of the half-eaten pasta and sent it.

Lu Xiang'er: I also eat pasta for lunch. I found that Italy has dumplings, but the taste is not to my liking.

Fang Xing: There was a competition in the afternoon, and we ate too much.

Lu Xiang'er: No way! I'm very restrained.

The two chatted on their mobile phones while eating.

Time passed quickly and it was game time.

Lu Xiang'er: I'm going to the competition venue. I'll send you the electronic ticket. (heehee.jpg)

Fang Xing finished his lunch and walked out of the restaurant.

Looking at this harbor city, the scenery is very good.

Since the hotel where Lu Xiang'er stayed was not far from the music venue of the competition, he could walk there.

When he arrived at the venue, Fang Xing showed his electronic ticket. After entering, he found a seat in the back row and sat down.

Fang Xing originally thought that not many people would come to watch the game.

Unexpectedly, as the time gets closer, more and more people enter the venue.

It seems to be full.

Seeing this, Fang Xing quickly stood up and looked for the seat on his ticket.

Because when I first came in, I thought that this competition would be like the violin competition in Donghai. All the people coming to watch the competition were relatives and friends of the players, and no one would sit in the back row.

After seeing more people, Fang Xing roughly understood.

The Paganini International Violin Competition is, after all, the most valuable competition, and it naturally attracts many music lovers to watch.

Therefore, Fang Xing quickly stood up, said sorry to the foreign friend next to him, and then found his seat according to the number on the electronic ticket.

There were tourists from China around the seats. There was a girl with a ponytail covering her mouth and looking up and down.

The girl looked at him for a few times, then turned back to talk to her companion, and then the three girls turned around to look.

Fang Xing guessed that he must have been recognized, so he reached into his pocket, took out a mask and put it on.

The girl with ponytail next to her asked, "Are you that Fang Xing?"

Fang Xing shook his head and asked, "Which Fang Xing?"

The girl with the ponytail had a very lively personality and started chatting non-stop: "That's the one who sings. I'm sure I'm not mistaken. It's you, right?

"Did you come here specifically to watch the violin competition?

“That’s right, you all study music, so it’s normal to come to the violin competition.

"Then can you play the violin? I've only seen you play piano and guitar on TV, but I've never seen you play the violin."

The three girls chatted, as if they had discovered something interesting in a foreign country.

Fang Xing asked them a few questions from time to time, trying to keep the topic away from himself: "Are you here for a trip?"

The ponytail girl nodded and said, "Yes. We are here for a trip."

"If you are traveling, why would you come to watch the game?" Fang Xing asked curiously.

"It was recommended on the travel APP. We didn't know that before, but after seeing the travel recommendation on the APP, we found out that Genoa is Paganini's hometown. This time we came to visit the Paganini International Violin Competition, so we decided According to the recommendation of the APP, I booked tickets to watch the game." The ponytail girl replied.

"Um……"

Fang Xing nodded slowly and asked, "What are you majoring in? A musical instrument competition like this is just pure music. There are no singers singing. Most people may find it boring."

The girl with the ponytail brushed her hair with her hand and replied: "When I was in college, I was in a band. I can play the guitar. Don't underestimate us, okay?"

"So awesome?" Fang Xing praised with a smile.

The pony-tailed girl quickly shook her head and replied: "Oh! I'm so clever in my class. In fact, I just played in a band with my friends. I definitely can't compare with you."

There are only a few minutes left before the game officially starts.

Fang Xing lowered his voice and reminded: "After the game starts later, try not to talk."

The ponytail girl replied cheerfully: "You don't need to remind me about this. This is the etiquette for attending concerts. We all understand it. Don't treat us as ordinary tourists. We also know a little bit about music."

When she spoke, she also made a "little bit" gesture with her thumb and index finger.

Fang Xing smiled and nodded: "I know a little bit, and I'm ready to start."

"Yes." The ponytail girl lowered her voice and agreed, then became quiet.

As the host of the event came on stage, the scene quickly became quiet.

The host explained the precautions for the competition in English, and then invited the contestants to perform on stage according to their numbers.

The first player to perform on stage was a brown-haired man with a square face, slightly fat, and looked to be in his thirties.

However, many Westerners look anxious.

He looks in his thirties, but he may actually be much younger.

The host introduced the contestant as Patrick Pate.

The competition piece he played was the first movement of Mozart's Concerto No. 5 in A major.

From an image point of view, the appearance of Patrick Pate is not eye-catching, even a bit too ordinary.

However, the performance level of an instrument has nothing to do with its appearance.

Many world-famous violinists will gain weight when they reach middle age, and carrying belly fat will not affect their performance.

When Patrick Pate played the first melody, Fang Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Because the level of this No. 1 player is indeed very high.

It requires skill and skill, and you can even play with personal characteristics in the sound of the piano.

Fang Xing originally thought that this competition was just the preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition, and the level would not be too high.

However, when the first contestant came on stage, Fang Xing changed his mind and directly raised the level of this competition to a very high level.

After Patrick Pate finished playing, the seven judges on site began to score.

After all, the competition is not a concert. After the players finished playing and the judges were giving scores, the audience still whispered to each other.

After all, it is a break for the players to perform, and it is normal for the audience to discuss the performance of the previous player.

The girl with the ponytail and her two companions came over together and asked in a low voice: "Master, how do you think this guy named Pa did it?"

They can only be regarded as music lovers and have a certain ability to appreciate music, but when it comes to such a more professional competition, they cannot tell the specific level of the players' performance.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "The level is very high. I underestimated the level of this competition."

Just when Fang Xing thought so.

The next player on the stage corrected this misunderstanding.

Player No. 2 was of average skill and played Mozart's "Little Star Variations".

My level means that I can play pretty well, but the gap between me and the No. 1 player is a little bit big.

After listening to player No. 1's performance, Fang Xing's psychological expectations for this game were much higher. However, after listening to player No. 2's performance, his psychological expectations returned to their original position.

After all, it is only the preliminary round, and it should be just a special case to have a high-level player.

The performance level of the next four or five players is also average in the competition, and there is no player with a higher level than No. 1 Patrick Pate.

When the host invites contestant No. 7 to come on stage.

Lu Xiang'er wore an evening dress, walked onto the stage, bowed slightly to the accompanying orchestra, and then started playing.

Lu Xiang'er on the stage was wearing stage makeup and glittering glitter in the corners of her eyes, giving people a stunning feeling.

Fang Xing couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Even though the aesthetics of Westerners and Asians are different, some foreign spectators at the scene showed admiration for the contestants' appearance.

The pony-tailed girl sitting next to Fang Xing whispered, "Hey! Are they contestants from our country? They are so beautiful."

The companion next to her joked: "Maybe it's a Japanese or Korean contestant? You can rely on your face to make a living with this look. There is no need to practice the violin so hard. If you play the violin, you will get calluses on your hands, right?"

Lu Xiang'er stood on the stage, first glanced around and found her mother's seat in the auditorium, and then quickly glanced back. When she saw Fang Xing, she pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly looked away.

After getting ready, Lu Xiang'er began to play the third movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".

The sound of the piano is brisk and the rhythm is clear.

Fang Xing closed his eyes and listened, and the image of Lu Xiang'er practicing in the training room appeared in his mind.

Compare the melody that Lu Xiang'er plays now with the melody that she heard her practicing before.

I'm sure she performed well, even better than before.

After listening to her quietly playing the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata", Fang Xing felt confident.

Except for the No. 1 player Patrick Pate, there is no player currently playing at a higher level than Lu Xiang'er.

However, there are 52 contestants in this year’s preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

The preliminary round was held over five days, and there were ten players competing today.

Since I haven’t listened to other games, I’m not sure what the average level of these 52 contestants is.

After listening to the players' performances now, Lu Xiang'er's performance is considered good.

In the preliminary round, 52 will advance to 10, so if you can enter the top two in each preliminary round, you will have a chance to enter the semi-finals.

Lu Xiang'er's current performance is indeed among the top two in the field. It depends on the level of the three players who have not yet appeared.

After Lu Xiang'er finished playing, he bowed to the band again, then turned and returned to the backstage.

The on-site judges scored the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata".

The scores are not announced on the spot. After the judges have finished scoring, the host will invite the next player to perform.

After all ten players had finished their performances, Fang Xing could tell that there were three players, including Lu Xiang'er, whose performance was higher than the average level of the field, and they were all likely to get a spot in the semi-finals.

The final result depends on how the judges score.

After all, this kind of musical instrument performance competition is manually scored, which will inevitably be affected by personal perception, so the results cannot be completely predicted.

After the game, the scores of the top ten players were announced on the spot.

Lu Xiang'er performed very well and achieved the second highest average score in this preliminary round.

However, this result is only the result of this game.

There are a total of five preliminary rounds with a total of 52 players.

Whether or not they can advance to the semi-finals will be announced after all five preliminary rounds.

After watching the Paganini Caprice International Violin Competition, Fang Xing got up and left the venue, sending a congratulatory WeChat message to Lu Xiang'er on his mobile phone.

Fang Xing: I performed well and entered the semi-finals.

Lu Xiang'er: Not sure yet. What if the other games are even better?

Fang Xing: In theory, the highlight of this kind of competition will be in the first game, so you can definitely enter.

Lu Xiang'er: I hope so.

Fang Xing: When will you return to Donghai?

Lu Xiang'er: The flight is tomorrow evening.

Fang Xing: Are you going to visit Genoa tomorrow? It’s a port city and the scenery is actually pretty good.

Lu Xiang'er: Yeah, okay.

Just as Lu Xiang'er was giggling at the phone.

Mother Lu went backstage to greet her daughter with flowers in her hands, and the mother and daughter hugged each other.

"Xiao Xiang is awesome!" Mother Lu gave a thumbs up, with tears in her eyes.
