This star’s style is wrong

Mother Lu was a little surprised to see so many people walking together: "Xiao Xiang, what's going on?"

"The school's No. 1 symphony orchestra is going to the competition venue to accompany me." Lu Xiang'er replied with a proud look on her face.

"So that's it. No wonder you said it's inconvenient to go with Chen Wenhan. It turns out there are so many classmates setting off together." Mother Lu was sitting in the terminal, looking at the crowd of more than a hundred people, she even felt flattered for her daughter. .

Fang Xing wore a mask and hat and sat next to Lu Xiang'er.

I didn’t bring my agent or assistant with me on this trip. I only brought a suitcase and traveled lightly.

Mother Lu noticed Fang Xing.

After all, a boy is sitting next to his daughter, wearing a hat and a mask all the time, and talking to his daughter from time to time. As a mother, it is impossible not to notice.

Mother Lu pulled her daughter's arm and asked in a low voice, "Is this a student of your school too?"

"Uh, yes..."

Lu Xiang'er's tone was not so sure. Although Fang Xing was indeed a student of Dongyin, he had already graduated.

Fang Xing heard the mother and daughter's murmurings, took off his mask and hat, and said hello, "Hello, auntie, I'm a vocal music major from Dongyin."

When Mother Lu saw Fang Xing, her expression suddenly froze.

Because she felt that Fang Xing looked familiar, very familiar.

She usually doesn't watch talent shows, but her daughter has been on "Song". Although it only has half a second of footage, as a mother, she must watch it again and again.

In that "Singing" competition, Lu Xiang'er accompanied Fang Xing and sang "Qili Xiang".

Mother Lu had watched that program many times, and naturally Fang Xing looked very familiar.

"You are... I feel like you are very similar to..." Mother Lu couldn't pronounce her name again.

"My name is Fang Xing." Fang Xing answered proactively.

"Is that singer on TV you?" Mother Lu asked.

Lu Xiang'er knew what her mother meant by "on TV" and also knew that her mother had watched the second issue of "Singing" many times, so she quickly interjected:

"Yes, he is the singer on TV, and our symphony orchestra accompanied him."

Mother Lu nodded slowly, then asked doubtfully: "What about this time?"

She could not imagine what use it would be for a singer to go to Genoa.

Fang Xing explained: "Well, I play the piano, and I will accompany Xiang'er this time."

When Mother Lu heard the name "Xiang'er", she felt that it was a bit too close and the name was not appropriate.

Lu Xiang'er quickly frowned, turned her back to her mother, and winked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing added: "She helped me accompany her before, and this time it's my turn to return the favor."

Mother Lu had new doubts: "But you just said you were a vocal major?"

Lu Xiang'er felt that if she continued to ask questions like this, her household registration would be checked by her mother, so she quickly interjected: "Mom, his piano skills are not comparable to those of Dongyin piano majors. You might as well worry about my daughter."

Mother Lu nodded and smiled: "So that's it."

After getting on the plane, Mother Lu's spirit of gossip began to explode. Even though Lu Xiang'er was in the middle of the seat, she still had various questions to ask:

"Are you a star now?"

"I'm just a singer at the moment."

"No wonder I kept wearing a mask when boarding the plane."

When Mother Lu saw that Fang Xing didn't have an agent, assistant, or makeup artist, she subconsciously thought that Fang Xing was not very famous among celebrities.

The reason for this misunderstanding is that Mother Lu rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry.

If he was a TV actor, she might still recognize him.

Singers, I have an impression of old singers from the past.

If Lu Xiang'er hadn't participated in "Singing" and accompanied Fang Xing in that episode, Mother Lu wouldn't even recognize Fang Xing.

After all, Fang Xing never answered announcements and had never acted.

He has only appeared on two programs: "Tomorrow's Star" and "Song".

Older viewers who don't watch these two shows basically don't know who Fang Xing is.

This is a manifestation of the lack of nationality.

This Paganini rematch is very important to Lu Xiang'er.

As a mother, I naturally pay special attention to it.

Mother Lu continued to ask, "Is your piano really okay? When the time comes, don't hold Xiao Xiang back."

Fang Xing nodded patiently and agreed: "Okay, I will try my best."

Lu Xiang'er helplessly covered her forehead, took out her mobile phone, found a video of Fang Xing playing and singing "Nocturne" on "Tomorrow's Star", and put it into her mother's hand: "Watch it yourself, don't ask anymore."

Mother Lu watched the video carefully. After watching it, she felt it was okay. She nodded and praised, "It's indeed not bad. This piece of music is also a bit familiar. Xiaoxiang, have you always played this piece of music before?"

Lu Xiang'er quickly took back her phone, shook her head and said, "There is no boss, you remembered it wrong."

…

Italy, Genoa Theatre.

Tuesday at 2 p.m.

The rematch of the Paganini International Violin Competition is about to begin.

The contestants have already gone to the backstage of the Grand Theater to wait.

The audience entered the venue one after another from the gate.

As a family member of a player, Mother Lu will definitely come to watch her daughter compete.

Similarly, Chen Wenhan's mother also appeared at the entrance of the Grand Theater.

After seeing Mother Chen, Mother Lu smiled and said hello: "Mrs. Chen, it's so early."

When Mother Chen saw Mother Lu appearing, she also smiled and went over to hold hands: "We had agreed to come together before, but you changed your mind again."

Mother Lu quickly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry. There are more people traveling with us this time, so it's very troublesome to be busy. It's really inconvenient."

Mother Chen smiled heartily and said, "There is nothing to apologize for. Come on, let's sit together today and watch the children compete. Wenhan has been preparing for today's competition for more than half a year."

"good."

The two mothers held hands, like good sisters who had known each other for many years, and entered the Grand Theater and took their seats together.

This time, in addition to Chen's mother, Chen Wenhan was accompanied by several elders of the Chen family.

After sitting down, they began to talk incessantly.

"Mrs. Lu, you know, right? There is no guarantee that there will be a winner in the Paganini Competition." Mother Chen took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Her daughter entered the Paganini semi-finals. Naturally, Mother Lu knew the rules of this event. She nodded and replied: "Of course I know this. I heard that there has been no champion for three consecutive years."

"Yes, there has been no champion in three years. Wenhan is very promising this year." Mother Chen's face was full of confidence.

The Paganini International Violin Competition is held every two years.

There has been no championship for three consecutive years, which means there has been no championship for six years.

The rules of the Paganini International Violin Competition are like this. Seven judges will evaluate the performance of the contestants.

The full score is 100 points, scored by seven judges, the highest score is removed, the lowest score is removed, and the remaining scores are averaged, which is the final score of the contestant.

In the current competition, it is not the player with the highest rating who will win the championship.

One of the reasons why the Paganini International Violin Competition is so valuable is that it is not enough to be ranked first in the competition score. You must also reach the championship score line to win the championship.

If in a certain session, no player's rating reaches the championship rating line, then the championship of this session will be vacant.

As of this year, the winner of the Paganini International Violin Competition has been vacant for three times.

The Chen family’s expectation for Chen Wenhan is for him to become the champion of this year’s Paganini International Violin Competition.

Winning the highest honor in the violin world.

The game is about to begin.

The host of the competition came on stage, announced the rules and precautions of the competition, and then began to arrange the players to compete.

The order of appearance in the game is determined by drawing lots.

There are a total of ten players in this game.

Lu Xiang'er drew number three and suddenly became nervous.

She returned to Fang Xing with the number and took deep breaths nervously: "It's over. I'm the sixth one to appear. The person in front of me is Patrick Pate. I feel like I'm going to be finished."

Patrick Pate was the first place winner in the preliminary round along with Lu Xianger.

"Don't be nervous, we are just here to perform a masterpiece for the world, the competition is not important." Fang Xing reassured with a smile.

"If you say that, I'm even more nervous. Isn't this more difficult than the competition?" Lu Xiang'er's face drooped.

"Don't worry, it's better to be moderately nervous." Fang Xing continued to reassure.

"But I feel like I'm out of tune." Lu Xiang'er looked like she was begging for comfort.

The game started in a tense mood.

The first player to take the stage was a blond female violinist, playing Beethoven's Ninth Violin Sonata.

After the performance, the judges began to score, removing the highest score and the lowest score, and the final score was 87.73 points.

Players participate in the competition one by one.

When the third player appeared, it was Chen Wenhan.

In the audience.

Mother Chen excitedly took Mother Lu's hand and said, "Wenhan is on the field. Whether he can win the championship depends on his performance."

Now Lu Xiang'er has not appeared yet, so Mother Lu is still very relaxed and said: "Mrs. Chen, don't worry, Wenhan's level is so high, there must be no problem."

"That's true. Wenhan will be fine." Mother Chen was very confident about this.

Chen Wenhan played Paganini Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, and his performance throughout the performance was very strong.

The audience can hear that Chen Wenhan's rating will definitely not be low.

After listening to the performance, Mother Chen clenched her fists: "It's very good, it's perfect, I should have it."

From a technical point of view, Chen's mother could confirm that her son's performance had no technical problems and he played the piece perfectly.

Of course, violin competitions are not just about technical skills, but also about things beyond technology.

If we only compare technology, then computer-synthesized timbre is the most perfect, without any flaws.

However, what is above technology is called art.

If there is anything that humans will never be eliminated in the face of technology, it is art.

Of course, art is an ethereal thing and it is difficult to explain clearly.

The competition uses people as judges, and what they pursue is this illusory standard.

After Chen Wenhan finished playing, the seven judges began to score.

After waiting for five minutes, the final score was announced live.

Chen Wenhan finally ranked first in the field with 94.60 points.

When Mother Lu heard this score, she immediately congratulated and said, "Wenhan is indeed amazing, currently number one in this field."

The smile on Chen's mother's face disappeared.

The score of 94.60 is indeed not low, and there is even hope of winning the first place in this competition.

However, this score did not reach the score line for the gold medal, which is the so-called championship score line.

In other words, if no one of the following players can score more than Chen Wenhan.

Then the championship of this year's Paganini International Violin Competition is vacant again.

Although he will not win the championship, the scores of the previous players are not high. Chen Wenhan still has great hope of winning the first place this time.

Anyway, there has been no champion for three consecutive years. It would not be surprising if the championship is vacant for another term.
