Chapter 158 Rejection
.
Seeing Principal Li calling him, Lu Wei greeted Li Guang and walked over quickly.
"Principal Li, is there anything you need to ask me for?" Lu Wei asked with a smile.
"Haha, Lu Wei. He ran well and got the first place again. I really didn't expect that your sports talent is so good," Principal Li said with a smile.
"Principal, isn't our school cultivating talents in the comprehensive development of music, physical education and aesthetics? I'm responding to the school's call." Lu Wei, who had just won the competition, was in a very good mood and said jokingly.
"Haha. I really didn't expect Lu Wei, you are quite humorous. Come on, let me introduce you to Director Yang Fei and Yang of our Municipal Sports Bureau." The two said. They had already arrived in front of Yang Fei, and Principal Li began to introduce.
Looking at the healthy, beautiful, and full of vitality in front of him, Lu Wei could not associate her with the word Director. But he smiled and nodded at Yang Fei and said, "Hello Director Yang."
"What a handsome young man. Haha. Don't be so polite, just call me Sister Yang." Yang Fei said enthusiastically, without any sign of leadership.
"Sister Yang." Lu Wei quickly changed his mouth and shouted. Yang Fei's face was filled with a smile.
"Lu Wei, you ran well just now. Who did you practice sports with?" Yang Fei asked casually.
Lu Wei felt in his heart that he was coming. He had heard the identity of the other party's sports director, Lu Wei felt that it might have been caused by the 10 seconds 12 yesterday. He was thinking about how to answer the other party's possible questions in a while. Unexpectedly, Yang Fei went straight to the topic after a few words.
"Well, haha. I usually like exercise. These are all learned in physical education classes in school," Lu Wei said casually.
"It's amazing to be able to run like this by just going to school physical education classes." Yang Fei exclaimed. Then he chatted for a few more words and made his own request: "Lu Wei, don't you know if you are interested in joining the city's track and field team?"
Lu Wei felt a little sad.
After thinking for a while, Lu Wei smiled and said to Yang Fei, "Sister Yang, thank you for your kindness. But I'm afraid I can't do this for the time being."
When he heard Lu Weidi's rejection, Yang Fei was a little surprised, but still asked with a smile: "Why? Is there anything wrong? If it is a school issue, I can talk to your principal."
Principal Li's expression beside him was a little embarrassed. He knew more about Lu Wei's situation. It is estimated that Director Yang was only interested in sports and did not know much about literature and art. With Lu Wei's current situation, even if the school agrees, he himself would not be able to join the city track and field team. Thinking of Secretary Zhao's relationship, Principal Li secretly measured in his heart whether he would help Lu Wei talk later.
"It's like this, Director Yang." Lu Wei changed his name and continued: "My current direction of landlord attack is music. In two days, the National Earth Star Sea Cup piano competition will begin, and I have decided to sign up for the competition. Therefore, I really don't have time to participate in the track and field training, and I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
Hearing Lu Wei's words, a look of unhappiness flashed across Yang Fei's face. Although she was very enthusiastic about Lu Wei just now, the leadership habit she had developed over the years made her hear such obvious rejection. Especially the other party was still a student, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Principal Li noticed the change in Yang Fei's face and hurriedly said, "Director Yang, I can prove to Lu Wei that Lu Wei is indeed working hard on music at present and has achieved great results. The young man wrote lyrics and songs himself and wrote all the songs he wrote at the Spring Festival Gala, and they were sung by himself. Some time ago, the Central Propaganda Department designated the Five One Project and made it into an MTV." Principal Li brought out the relationship between the Central Propaganda Department without any trace.
"Oh. Since that's the case, then forget it. It's just a pity that you have such good quality. It's a pity not to practice sports." Yang Fei also heard what Principal Li said. Although he was a little unhappy about his use of the Central Propaganda Department as a shield, his face did not change at all.
After chatting for a while, Lu Wei did not say anything to death. He only said that he would consider Yang Fei's suggestions when he was free. Although he knew that Lu Wei's words were just perfunctory, Yang Fei also understood that the other party was giving him a way out, so he also said some hopeful words and said goodbye to the two. Looking at Yang Fei's back gradually moving away, Lu Wei said to Principal Li around him with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you, Principal."
"Haha, you kid, for you, I offended the Sports Director." Principal Li said humorously.
"Principal Li, I will invite Secretary Zhao to our place to play in the future." Lu Wei suddenly said in a daze. Principal Li was very happy to hear it. It seemed that Lu Wei understood what he meant. This made him feel very happy.
The sports meeting ended. Class 3 of Level 98 exceeded the second place with a huge advantage of 16 points. He won the first place in the group's total score. At the same time, the first place in spiritual civilization also fell on the third place. Class 3 achieved a veritable harvest at the sports meeting.
In a happy mood, Guo Yumin immediately decided to hold a celebration meeting and celebrated it in the school dance classroom. Everyone sang and danced until ten o'clock in the evening. Only after being reminded by the student union, they all dispersed reluctantly.
The sports meeting was over. Lu Weidi's life returned to the normal track, attending classes and practicing piano every day. As the days passed, the Xinghai Cup was approaching unknowingly.
The Xinghai Cup National Youth Piano Competition is to popularize and improve the level of piano teaching and performance in mainland China. Four teachers from the Affiliated Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music, including Jin Aiping and Wu Yuan, decided to establish the Beijing Children's Piano Competition, which is the predecessor of the Xinghai Cup piano competition.
After continuous development and improvement, by the third piano competition, the "Xinghai Cup" had developed into a national piano competition, hosted by the Central Conservatory of Music and Beijing Xinghai Musical Instruments Company and other units. It is the only national youth piano competition in my country approved by the Ministry of Culture.
This year's Xinghai Cup is already the eighth session. The chairman of the jury is still the nationally renowned pianist and educator Professor Zhou Guangren, and the jury is just composed of famous domestic pianist educators, performers, etc. These people sit together. They definitely represent the highest level in the Chinese piano world.
The "Xinghai Cup" piano competition is divided into two stages: preliminaries and finals. The preliminaries are located in all parts of the country, with Changli being one of them.
According to the time published on TV and newspapers, Changli's registration time is April 1. It is very funny to be April Fool's Day. I wonder if the organizer of Changli's land is not sure or intentional.
It happened to be Saturday. Lu Wei took a taxi early in the morning to arrive at the designated registration center--the Cultural Center.
Although it was less than eight o'clock, the people who came to register were already piled up in front of the cultural center. Many people were even squeezed into the street, making Lu Wei sigh at the influence of the "Star Sea Cup".
However, Lu Wei also knew that this had a lot to do with the strong cultural atmosphere in Changli. Not only because there are two universities in Changli, but also because the locals spontaneously love music. The big yangge in Changli folk is very famous throughout the country. Parents here have focused on cultivating their children's specialties since childhood, such as small art classes, almost everywhere. Although piano is a relatively expensive luxury for ordinary families, there are piano areas everywhere. There are many piano areas at home. Parents here have always spared no effort to have children's interests in this regard.
Although it is not wrong to cultivate children's interest, Lu Wei did not fully agree with it. Seeing that most of the contestants who participated in the competition were brought by parents, Lu Wei knew that not everyone liked the piano. A considerable number of piano children practiced the piano with great utilitarianism. Even completely to satisfy the vanity of parents and themselves, these children often did not play any other local music except for the grading songs, but they practiced the piano purely for the sake of passing the grade. Lu Wei once saw a child who learned piano the most exaggeratedly. He passed the ninth level, but he didn't even know the most basic music theory. He could play a few songs, and parents also used "How many levels did your child pass" as the most question to each other. What about this utilitarian learning of piano and piano music that has long deviated from? Chinese piano children claim to have 8 million. Such a large base also fully reflects the mentality of the Chinese people.
Kong Xiangdong asked Lu Wei to participate in this competition, and his original intention was to let Lu Wei feel the atmosphere of the competition. It was used as a way to promote his own level. As for rankings, Kong Xiangdong had already told Lu Wei that he would not have to care so much. Lu Wei himself also agreed with Kong Xiangdong's statement. With his current level, participating in such competitions is just to increase his experience in public performance and accumulate some stage feeling.
