The day after the opening ceremony, Liu Lan accompanied Li Xiaoru to the piano competition location Polchano City, and took the private small plane. The whole journey took less than 30 minutes.

The two got off the plane and went straight to the designated location of the competition committee to report that there were 30 contestants in the finals. Li Xiaoru was the one who came later and the only contestant who was not accompanied by her mentor. However, her reputation was very famous. Not long ago, the street piano performance video was still circulating on the Internet. How could the staff of the piano competition committee who were in Italy not know about it last night's red carpet ceremony?

What's more, Li Xiaoru is accompanied by the Han Dynasty princesses. Young pianists from all over the world who are waiting to listen to the show and preparing to draw lots are all saluting them. Among them are teenage piano geniuses and proud disciples of top pianists in the world. No matter how good they are, they are students of top music schools. In terms of music background, Li Xiaoru, who is an internet celebrity, is probably the worst.

Li Xiaoru didn't feel nervous at all. Maybe she had walked through the red carpet with stars shining, talked to a superstar of alan, and Liu Lan was beside her to give her courage.

The finals are divided into three rounds. The first round was held in the concert hall of Polchano City on the afternoon of the same day. The competition was a solo, and the contestants chose freely. The competition committee did not limit the difficulty, but the difficulty level would be referenced as appropriate when rating.

Li Xiaoru has already reported his own song Rachmaninov's "The Third Piano Concerto", which is called "the most difficult work in the world". Under the guidance of the instructor, other contestants are step by step, from easy to difficult to compete. Li Xiaoru directly used her big move at the beginning to challenge the SS level.

Her idea is very simple. After the first round of competition, 30 people eliminated 20 people. If she passes, she will be the top 10. Not to mention anything else, it is safe to stay with Julia to study for a master's degree. In the following two rounds of competition, she can also face the challenge more calmly.

Other players do not have such a big psychological burden. They are students of famous schools and famous teachers. No one stipulates that they must enter the top 10 for any honors. They have time to take their time, but Li Xiaoru does not!

No matter how difficult the song is, it is ultimately about proficiency, skills and hand speed. Li Xiaoru has been practicing this song desperately during this period, playing it at least 10 times a day on average, and even dreaming at night, her fingers are still moving. When she practices to this level, she doesn't believe she can't pass it!

Hard work pays off, plus luck - Li Xiaoru draws the 27th draw. As we all know, in art competitions, the higher the scores the more you appear in the back, because at the beginning of the competition, the judges did not know the overall situation of the contestants and did not dare to score high scores at will. The contestants who appeared in the front were often suppressed.

Therefore, Li Xiaoru successfully passed the first round of competition, but she was just a narrow pass and ranked 10th.

A total of 12 judges participated in the scoring, each with a score of 10 points. After removing the highest and lowest scores, the average score was calculated. Li Xiaoru's score was 9.03, which was only 0.03 points higher than the latter. Three judges gave Li Xiaoru a very low score. Fortunately, two judges gave her a high score of 9.8 at the same time, pulling her score back.

One of them, Li Xiaoru, knew the visiting professor at Juilliard School who once helped her to enter the preliminary round without an audition. The other judge was a pianist from France. Li Xiaoru had heard of her name and also watched her performance video online. Perhaps for this reason, when the opening host introduced the judge, she felt that the female judge looked familiar.

Three days later, the second round of competition will be decided by the judges, which means that 10 contestants will play the same song. As for what the song is, it will not be announced until the day of the competition. In this way, the difficulty will be directly up to a higher level. Although everyone takes the same question, they think they are on the same starting line. On the contrary, this can expose the shortcomings of people with weaker strength. Without comparison, there will be no harm.

And I don’t know the songs and don’t divide the scope. I don’t know how to train targetedly in these three days. Li Xiaoru started to be nervous again, but the domestic news about her was hyped up on the hot search. Because Liu Lan took Li Xiaoru’s first round of competition into a video and posted it on Weibo, and wrote, “Come on, Xiaoru, you are the best!”

In the video, Li Xiaoru is wearing a red backless evening dress, sitting in front of the black piano, playing the keyboard with all her flexibility, her flexible fingers are faster than robots, which makes people dizzy. Netizens are not professionals. Looking at this high-end performance occasion and looking at Li Xiaoru's pianist style, they think she is a pianist, and they all think she is definitely a perfect score, first place, and brings glory to the country.

As a result, Liu Lan announced her results on Weibo that Li Xiaoru was ranked 10th and entered the second round at the end. Netizens were dissatisfied and left a message below to ask Liu Lan if there was a dark story about the competition, race, race, discrimination, etc.

A netizen named "nana" left a message to mock these people, "You are thinking too much. Li Xiaoru calls herself a pianist. Do you really think of her as a pianist? There are thousands of people in China and the world who learn piano. How many pianists can they produce every year? From childhood to adulthood, after exams, screening, and competitions, preliminary competitions, and rematches. In the piano circle, it is harder to become famous and to reach the top. Which famous pianist is not a master of battles and stepping on countless losers under his feet. Li Xiaoru can sneak into the finals of the Busony Piano Competition with great use of not-so-glory. Without Liu Lan and hype, she is bullshit. Wait and see, she will never pass the second round of competition."

This comment aroused the anger of countless people.

"There are people looking for scolding upstairs."

"Is this a fishing post?"

"Li Xiaoru is not bullshit, what are you?"

"If Li Xiaoru passes, do you plan to eat your phone live?"

......

The more people scolded this comment, the more popular it became. And this person really replied to the netizen, "Okay, if Li Xiaoru passes the second round, I will give you a live broadcast to eat your phone!"

These two comments were quickly topped at the top, and Liu Lan also saw them. With the familiar web name and familiar tone, she always felt that the other party was their former classmate Wang Nina.

After Wang Nina was expelled from the school, she almost disappeared. Liu Lan later heard that she was sent back to her hometown to quit, and there was no news afterwards. Now, seeing Wang Nina's comments that did not hide her jealousy at all, Liu Lan felt mixed feelings. Wang Nina was even better than Li Xiaoru.
