This star’s style is wrong

Since the end of the fraternity between the two countries, there has been a little episode in Moscow.

The famous Russian violinist Sumarokov asked a friend if he could help him buy a CD of "Butterfly Lovers".

Sumarokov is over sixty years old and in semi-retirement.

On weekdays, I live in a house on the outskirts of Moscow, listen to music, and grow flowers and plants.

This time I was invited to participate in a social gathering between the two countries and heard the violin concerto "Butterfly Lovers".

As a world-famous violinist, he had never heard this concerto before. He was quite surprised after listening to it live. So after the concert, he hoped to buy a CD of "Butterfly Lovers".

However, he rarely uses the Internet, and it is impossible to sell it in Moscow video stores.

He was friends with the owner of a video store, so he asked his friend to buy a CD of "Butterfly Lovers".

As a result, the owner of the video store asked all channels and even searched online shopping platforms, but there was no genuine purchase channel.

Some Russian netizens did find a CD with "Butterfly Lovers" on it through a Chinese shopping website, but were told by a friend that it was not a genuine CD.

Sumarokov is a world-renowned violinist, and he definitely cannot accept a CD with poor sound quality when listening to music. His friend did not buy it and could only tell the truth.

You can’t buy it on CD, but you can still find the sheet music online.

Sumarokov occasionally played this piece by himself. After a few days, he still hoped to get a CD of "Butterfly Lovers".

So, according to the official mailing address of the Huaxia Art Troupe, I wrote a letter and sent it.

A week later, this letter arrived on the desk of Song Yuntao, the director of the art troupe.

He found a translator to translate the Russian into Chinese. After reading it, he was a little surprised.

He was also not sure whether the Sumarokov who wrote the letter was the famous Russian violinist.

However, the content of the letter was just a wish to get a CD of "Butterfly Lovers".

This requirement is not high.

Song Yuntao called Lu Xiang'er directly and explained the situation.

Lu Xiang'er promised to send a CD of "Butterfly Lovers" to the address.

After agreeing, Lu Xiang'er made a request and wanted to see the letter.

This request was not too much, so Song Yuntao had the letter scanned and sent to Lu Xiang'er.

After Lu Xiang'er got the letter, she ran home happily, hugging Fang Xing's neck and spinning her around: "Guess who wrote me the letter."

"Who?" Fang Xing looked suspicious.

"Sumarokov." Lu Xiang'er raised the phone in front of Fang Xing and showed it, "Look."

The letter's header is addressed to the Huaxia Art Troupe, but in essence, it is addressed to Lu Xiang'er.

Just because Sumarokov did not have Lu Xiang'er's mailing address, he could only send the letter to the Huaxia Art Troupe's mailing address.

"It seems true. Are you sure they don't have the same name?" Fang Xing asked.

"It shouldn't be possible, their names are so long. Hurry up and send me a CD. Please send it urgently." Lu Xiang'er said.

Regardless of whether the person writing the letter is the famous Sumarokov, who traveled thousands of miles to send a letter just for a CD of "Butterfly Lovers". Even for an ordinary person, this love is worth a CD.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send a CD right away." Fang Xing agreed, and without waiting for the next day, he sent a letter to the execution broker to handle it.

…

This little incident is only known to those who read the letter in China and has not been spread online.

In Moscow, the story about Sumarokov writing a letter asking for the concerto CD spread in the music circle and became a topic of conversation for many musicians after dinner.

Ever since she learned that the world-famous violinist also liked "Butterfly Lovers", Lu Xiang'er became more confident than before when practicing the piano.

While practicing the piano, time gradually entered May.

It’s the month when the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition is held.

During the May Day holiday, Lu Xiang'er didn't have time to go out and play, so he stayed at home and practiced piano.

After the long vacation, Fang Xing arranged his itinerary and flew to Moscow with Lu Xianger three days in advance.

Fang Xing asked his management team to rent a training room in Moscow in advance.

After arriving in Moscow, there are still three days before the start of the first round.

Lu Xiang'er took the time to adjust her schedule and practice piano in the training room in her free time.

Since the competition date is getting closer and closer, the intensity of piano practice has gradually slowed down, and I need to rest more to maintain the best condition.

May 10th.

The Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition officially begins.

Lu Xiang'er went to submit the pieces to be performed.

The competition is divided into three rounds, and contestants need to submit three rounds of repertoire in advance.

Leave time for the symphony orchestra to prepare its repertoire.

The competition pieces submitted by most of the contestants are all world-famous songs.

The symphony orchestra is all good, and only a few pieces of music are more partial.

Among them, the most unconventional one is undoubtedly "Butterfly Lovers".

This concerto has appeared frequently in the music circle in recent times and has gained a certain degree of popularity. However, there are not many symphony orchestras that can perform this concerto.

It just so happened that the organizers of the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition hired the Moscow Symphony Orchestra as the ensemble for the third round of the competition.

Originally, the Moscow Symphony Orchestra was one of the orchestras that often collaborated with the Tchaikovsky Competition.

However, due to the schedule, the symphony orchestras may be different in each round of the competition.

The third round happened to be the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

This symphony orchestra has already performed "Butterfly Lovers" at the two-nation fraternity meeting, and there is no case that it cannot play the music.

…

As the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition begins, violinists from all over the world gather in Moscow.

There are also music lovers from all over the world who specially come to Moscow to watch this game.

At the same time, the organizers have also cooperated with online live broadcast platforms to broadcast this competition live.

Austrian violinist Patrick Pater also arrived in Moscow two days early.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er also met the fat Austrian man in the restaurant, but they did not go up to say hello.

After all, they are competitors this time, so it would be better to keep a little distance.

Three days later.

The first round begins.

The pieces played in the first round were all Tchaikovsky's famous works.

This round of competition mainly tests the basic skills of the contestants.

A total of 106 violinists participated. After the first round, 76 were eliminated and only 30 contestants entered the second round.

Lu Xiang'er played excerpts from the first movement of Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D major".

The performance process was done in one go and very smoothly.

Three days later, the results of the first round were announced.

Lu Xiang'er's name is on the list.

After seeing his name, Lu Xiang'er continued to look down.

As expected, Patrick Pate's name is also on the list.

After all, he is a well-known violinist in Austria. As long as nothing happens, he will definitely pass the first round.

The second round of competition will be held 10 days after the end of the first round, which is May 20.

After the first round of competition, the remaining 30 contestants were all of high standard.

Therefore, starting from the second round, the competition starts to get fierce.

Lu Xiang'er prepared for the second round for a week.

In the second round of the competition, Lu Xiang'er performed excerpts from the second movement of "Violin Concerto in D Major".

This world-famous song is filled with love and hate and is full of emotions.

After the second round, Lu Xiang'er began to feel nervous.

Because the level of the contestants in the second round was obviously much higher.

And there are only 10 promotion places in this round, which means that 20 contestants will be eliminated.

It is the judges of the competition who give the scores.

As long as the judges are giving scores, there will be personal subjective preferences. There may be dark horses, or there may be contestants who are eliminated unexpectedly.

Therefore, even if Lu Xiang'er felt that she played well during the competition, she could not guarantee advancement.

The third day after the second round.

The organizers announced the list of those who advanced to the third round.

Since there are only ten names on the list, basically at a glance, if there is something there, it is there, and if there is not, there is nothing.

Lu Xiang'er and Fang Xing stayed in the hotel and waited until the promotion list was announced before opening the official website of the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition and clicking on the latest announcement.

The Internet speed is relatively average, and the progress bar of the web page advances for two seconds before opening.

The page displayed, and at a glance, it was a name.

Fang Xing saw the shorter name in the middle at a glance.

The names of Chinese people are slightly shorter than the names of people in other countries, and their structures are also very special.

Even if it is written in English letters, it can be recognized at a glance.

When Fang Xing saw Lu Xiang'er's name, he immediately turned his head, held her face, and kissed her hard on her mouth.

Lu Xiang'er was forcibly kissed, but she still stared at the webpage with a pair of dark eyes, squinting at the webpage, confirming again and again that her name was on it, then breathed a sigh of relief, pushed away Fang Xing's clutches and said angrily: "You want to?" Kill me?"

"Let's see if that fat guy from Austria has advanced." Fang Xing changed the subject.

The two searched again and soon found Patrick Pate's name.

"Sure enough, I advanced." Lu Xiang'er showed an unexpected expression, and at the same time she became nervous again.

This means that the two will become opponents again in the third round.

Last time.

At the Paganini International Violin Competition, Lu Xiang'er won the gold medal and Patrick Pate won the silver medal.

This time, he also advanced to the third round of the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition.

It seems like history is repeating itself, but no one can be sure of the final outcome.

…

After it was confirmed that she would advance to the third round, Lu Xiang'er began to seize the time to practice the piano.

In the third round of the competition, you need to play excerpts from two pieces of music, one of which is fixedly a piece by Tchaikovsky, and the other can be a piece of your own choice.

This year's Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition is being broadcast live online.

However, the live broadcast does not always have a commentator explaining the game.

The game is relatively long. In fact, watching the game live is like listening to music online, and it is pure music.

For ordinary viewers, it is easy to get bored or even feel bored after listening to it for a long time.

After all, the symphony orchestra still has to listen to the live version to experience its charm.

Therefore, many viewers click on the live broadcast and then turn it off after watching it for a while.

Domestic viewers who follow this game basically only care about Lu Xiang'er's game.

After the segmented game videos were released, Lu Xiang'er's game videos were viewed very highly on domestic video websites.

In addition, there are also Patrick Pate's game videos, which are also viewed relatively high.

After all, this Austrian violinist is famous in China for winning the silver medal.

After the first and second round segmented competition videos came out, the entertainment media followed up and conducted a wave of reports.
