.

In the next three days, Lu Wei spent the rest of his time with Xiaoling, Riguangyan, Haoyue Garden, Shuzhuang Garden, Piano Museum, and the beautiful Gulangyu Island, leaving behind the footprints of the two people everywhere.

Looking at Xiaoling's happy smile, Lu Wei's pressure also relieved a lot.

On the beautiful sunlight rock, Lu Wei and Xiaoling stood hand in hand, and the cool sea breeze blew, making people feel refreshed. Although it was June, there was no heat of the scorching heat here. Looking around, the blue sea and the sky were connected together, and the blue eyes made people feel like their hearts became wider. Looking at the shadows of sails on the sea, the seagulls flying by from time to time in the sky really made people feel the urge to float away.

Xiaoling turned her face and looked at Lu Wei's eyes looking into the distance. Since Lu Wei told him that night, Xiaoling's heart has been filled with emotion. Thinking of the things Lu Wei told him about, and during the time when the two of them were together, Xiaoling's whole heart was filled with love.

It is said that women are careful animals, and this is not true. During the two-day competition, Xiaoling also empathized with the pressure in Lu Wei's heart. After all, even if he was reborn, his previous life was just a small employee of the government department, but only more than twenty years of life experience. In less than a year of rebirth, what he experienced was something he had never thought about in the past twenty years of his previous life, such as the company, vocal music, piano competition... Too many things were pressed on his shoulders, and he was too tired.

"Advisor, what are you thinking? So trance?" Xiaoling asked softly in his eyes with a smile.

"Oh, hehe, nothing. I'm thinking about it." After hearing Xiao Ling's words suddenly, Lu Wei retracted his gaze that looked into the distance and said with a smile.

"Advisor, you are only seventeen years old. Don't be as serious as a philosopher every day. Will you grow old quickly?" Xiaoling said with a smile, but then realized that his words were not appropriate. Although Lu Wei is only seventeen now, he is reborn and his mental age is over 20 years old. But somehow, when she thinks of this, Xiaoling not only doesn't feel awkward, but she feels a little sweet. It turns out that when Lu Wei starts pursuing her, she still feels a little awkward. After all, for a girl, it always feels strange to accept a boy younger than her. However, after learning about Lu Wei's secret, somehow, this awkward feeling disappeared all of a sudden. Although she is used to calling Lu Wei "apprentice", she unconsciously develops a sense of dependence.

"Do I have it? Why don't I think it?" Lu Wei looked at Xiaoling's beautiful face and said with a smile.

"Advisor, don't think too much. In fact, it doesn't matter which way you get. Just try your best. After all, compared to them, the time you have been learning piano formally is too short." Xiaoling raised his hand gently, stroked Lu Wei's face, and said softly. Lu Wei told her about rebirth, and naturally did not hide those abilities from her. Therefore, Xiaoling knew that Lu Wei's fusion of Kempff's abilities was also known that because the time was too short, Lu Wei actually did not merge much, just a part.

"Well, I understand." Lu Wei said, and grabbed Xiaoling and stroked his hand, put it in the palm of his hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Advisor, I still want to go to the amusement park to play. Can you accompany me?" Xiaoling said coquettishly. Even she herself did not realize that her attitude towards Lu Weidi was quietly changing.

"Okay. Let's go." He pulled Xiaoling's hand and walked briskly under the Sun Rock.

The four-day preliminaries have passed. Although Lu Wei’s results are not ideal, he finally barely entered the rematch.

During this period, Lu Wei's family, company, and friends called each other. Blessings came one after another, which also made Lu Wei's spirit a lot. The impact of the preliminaries was also gradually faded.

At 8:00 p.m. on June 20, under the attention of many music fans and media, the first rematch of the China International Piano Competition was held on time at Gulangyu Concert Hall.

The concert hall is still brilliant. However, compared with the preliminaries, there are obviously fewer people in the audience. Most of the seats are empty.

This is not surprising. In the four-day preliminary round, nearly 60 players were cruelly eliminated by nearly three quarters, and in the end, only fifteen players entered the rematch. Most of the eliminated players and entourage left Gulangyu, but some people stayed to continue watching the game with a more insightful attitude. Of course, this is only a small part.

Li Yundi, Sun Yingdi and Qin Chuan performed very well in the preliminary round and all entered the preliminary round with extremely high scores. Including Xiao Nan and Lu Wei, five of the ten Chinese players entered the preliminary round, which was far lower than the average elimination ratio.

Of course, such a result has also attracted some criticism from the outside world. Some foreign music magazines commented that this competition was "unfair", but most music media were very tolerant of such results. After all, the judges of the competition were all from different countries, and the proportion of Chinese judges did not occupy a very large area. Those media that made criticism were just because the contestants were eliminated from their own countries and complained.

Lu Wei, who received much attention in the Beijing selection competition, did not attract much attention from the media due to his mediocre performance in the qualifiers. People's attention was more focused on Chinese players Li Yundi, Sun Yingdi, Italian pianist Pampa Antonio, Belarusian pianist Brinov Yuri and others who performed well in the qualifiers.

Due to the huge reduction in the number of contestants, compared with the four-day and eight-game preliminary rounds, only two rematches were arranged, which were placed on the morning and evening on June 20th.

Compared with the preliminaries, the rematch is more important for the contestants. According to regulations, the contestants have to play two must-choose tracks, one concert etude and one self-selected music. The genre is not limited, and improvisation and music knowledge questions and answers are still retained. In this way, the average competition time for each contestant is nearly twenty minutes, greatly increasing the intensity of the competition.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Tao, wearing a white long skirt, walked onto the stage, and the first rematch began.

There was no Lu Wei in the morning's game schedule, so Lu Wei and Xiaoling just came to watch the game, and the expression on their faces was very relaxed.

However, Xiao Nan, who was also sitting aside, looked nervous. This time, Xiao Nan was very "lucky" to play in the morning, and the order was very high, only ranked second. Moreover, the Italian pianist Pompano, who performed well in the preliminaries, was the Italian pianist who had won the first place in the Prokofiev International Piano Competition, ranked fourth in the preliminaries a few days ago. He won unanimous praise from the audience and judges with a song "Clock" by Lister, and scored as high as 98.10 points, becoming one of the few players in the eight preliminaries to exceed 98 points.

Behind such a "strong" contestant, Xiao Nan was naturally very nervous.

Amid the applause of everyone, Antonio, wearing a black dress, walked onto the stage. Under his short golden hair, his young face was full of a confident smile. After signaling to the judges and the audience, Antonio sat in front of the piano.

The first etude, Liszt's super skill etude "Hunting"!

Among the twelve super skills etudes of Lister, "Hunting" is the eighth song, and it is also the one with very difficult performance. It has always been very fast and intense, but in fast performance, it still needs to be beautiful and has high difficulty requirements. Because it requires high physical strength to the performer, many piano players vividly call it the big hunting.

However, this song seemed very relaxed under Antonio's hands. After more than three minutes of playing, Antonio's expression was always relaxed, and his perfect grasp of the music also won him the admiration of many judges. With this hunting alone, Antonio has already shown the level of a world-class pianist.

After playing the song and taking a break, Antonio immediately started his second self-selected work.

With his fingers lightly, Chopin's "Nocturne" in B-flat major flows gently from the piano.

Quiet and light, among the soft ups and downs of Antonio's hands, this song "Nocturne" has a quiet artistic conception that permeates the entire concert hall.

Antonio himself closed his eyes gently and did not look at his piano keys. For him, the difficulty of this song was too low. However, Antonio had this confidence. In this very important preliminary, using such a song also showed Antonio's extremely powerful trust

Sure enough, under his almost perfect performance, this song "Nocturne" that everyone has heard countless times won applause.

After completing the next two links, Antonio elegantly bowed to the judges and audiences, and then walked off the stage.
