Qin Jian was confused.

The contestant from South Korea who was ranked 10th in front of him also received 10 votes.

"Why?"

Seeing the results of the youth group, Duan Ran was a little unhappy. He didn't know whether he was unhappy that Qin Jian was lagging behind Korean players with the same vote, or he was dissatisfied with Qin Jian's ranking position.

"It's okay. It'll be ok if you can advance."

Since this is the final result given by the judging panel, I accept it. As for the issue of tied votes, it seems that it is not unique to me.

Qin Jian glanced at the list again.

Except for the first place, the star performer Yamaguchi Kappei from Japan, who got fifteen votes, the next two to ten people all had this problem.

Su Minghua, a young piano teacher from Huaguo Guang Provincial Conservatory of Music, won the second place with 14 votes from the third place.

Nagasawa Saki, who had had contact with him in the musical instrument exhibition hall before, ranked fifth with 13 votes, while the Indian contestant ranked fourth also received 13 votes.

Korean seed player Park Chang-woo ranked sixth with 12 votes just behind Saki Nagasawa, while the seventh player from Singapore behind him also held 12 votes.

Chi Heng's ranking was stuck at the top of the promotion line, finishing 16th with eight votes, while the last player to advance was from Iran, who received seven votes.

It is unclear how many other contestants received seven votes after this.

"well."

Qin Jian couldn't help but return to the tenth place. He had carefully studied the performance videos of the top ten. The tenth place Korean player's sonata didn't have many highlights, but his Liszt Super Technique Etudes No. 6 was really bright.

Eye.

It seems that the ranking of the tied players is related to the difficulty of the works they perform.

As for this 'difficult' standard, Qin Jian doesn't want to think about it anymore. See you in the next round.

Then his eyes turned to the red-framed form on the side.

moment.

"Not bad."

Qin Jian found Duan Ran's name in the fifth column and felt much more relaxed. However, when he looked at the votes at the back, he felt nervous again.

Sixteen votes!?

Then he hurriedly scanned the votes for the first place, and sighed after seeing that there were only eighteen votes for the first place.

Patting Duan Ran on the shoulder, Qin Jian said: "He is only two votes less than Li Xianlong. Come on and kill him in the finals."

"Who wants to compete with him?" Duan Ran looked disgusted, and then changed his tone, "But as for killing it, this seems to be possible."

"expect."

While joking, Chi Heng, Fang Zongyao and others came over again.

Naturally, everyone who advanced to the finals had to compliment each other, but mainly Qin Jian and Chi Heng were the ones complaining. Fang Zongyao still seemed a little dissatisfied with his ninth place result.

After exchanging contact information with Qin Jian, Chi Heng and the two left.

However, before leaving, Chi Heng still did not forget to remind Qin Jian to tell him as soon as he thought of a suitable answer.

This made Qin Jian dumbfounded again.

Watching the two people leaving, Duan Ran turned to look at Qin Jian, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly asked: "Is it fun in the music restaurant bar?"

"It shouldn't be fun..." Qin Jian thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"Is there anything delicious there?"

“Nothing good to eat.”

"Is the music in there interesting?"

"Very boring."

"Then can you take me to see it?"

"...There may be a chance in the future."

"Then you promised me." Duan Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking like a happy baby, and then said slowly, "It's six o'clock, let's go to that sushi restaurant."

Qin Jian just breathed a sigh of relief, and then rolled his eyes again, "Which one? That's too far, right?" After practicing Tianqin, he just wanted to go back and rest early.

"It's not far, it's not far. Let's go. The finals are in five days. Think about the days that will follow with the piano room and ramen every day."

moment.

"well."

I have to say that Duan Ran's words are still very inflammatory.

"Let's go." Qin Jian then clapped his hands, "That conger eel sushi is really good."

"Of course, let's go!"

As the crowd dispersed, the main lobby of the Tokyo Opera Concert Hall returned to silence again, with the big screen on.

Waiting for rewrite.

...

However, with the final results of the preliminary round, there was an uproar among the critics that night.

The topic naturally revolves around the ‘promotion voting system’.

This is indeed a sensitive topic.

Among the judges of each phoneme competition, almost half of the judges are from Japan.

In addition, the proportion of people from Japan in the preliminary round promotion list is not small, which further intensifies the doubts from the outside world.

"This was an unfair match."

A Korean newspaper called for this, "I hope the Asian Games Organizing Committee can disclose the voting status of each judge in the preliminary round."

The Japanese classical music critic circle also immediately responded with a voice of counterattack. One of the articles titled "Why did Aso Natsuki only get the 31st place?" went viral among netizens.

Although the article did not talk about the voting system of the competition, it felt sorry for Aso Natsuki between the lines, 'Is her mistake really that serious?'

The organizing committee did not give any official response to this, but posted a video of the debate in the jury conference room before the competition results were announced on the official forum.

After the results of the ensemble competition came out the next day, the group from South Korea won the first place with 16 votes.

The discussion on this issue died down.

It is worth mentioning that the duo of Qin Jian and Duan Ran ranked seventh with 12 votes, one place ahead of the Japanese player with the same vote.

.....

In the next few days, Qin Jian and his wife almost locked themselves in the piano room.

Leave early, come back late, and have three simple meals.

For a moment, the days seemed like they were back to the training camp.

The progress of the Passionate Sonata was much faster than Qin Jian expected, so this also allowed him to spend more time to consolidate the practice of Dongfeng.

Regarding Dongfeng’s practice, Duan Ran also shared his own practice experience and the key points Shen Qingci had mentioned.

"Performing every counterpoint part in detail may not necessarily create a satisfactory melody line, and an excessive tendency to organize the melody line in the accompaniment part may also affect the progression of the melody part."

Regarding Shen Qingci's specious interpretation of Xiao Lian, Qin Jian can only try to understand and try as much as possible.

One day in the future, Qin Jian is sure that he will start to systematically contact Chopin, but now is not the time.

Moreover, the competition in the Mozart works group that has not yet started is the focus of his participation this time.

Time goes by very quickly.

The final day is coming soon.

...

The last evening before the final day.

Inside the Yamah piano room.

"00:01:37."

Looking at the time record on the phone screen, Duan Ran rubbed his sore fingers and said with some dissatisfaction.

"This time it was two seconds slower than before."

"That's it, no more practice."

The girl got up and moved for a while, then opened the communication software.

Knocked on the screen.

moment.
