.

After Shunichi Nakamura's performance, it was time to announce Lu Wei's scores.

Listening to Zhou Tao's beautiful voice, Xiaoling's face was full of tension.

Looking at the expression on Xiaoling's face, Lu Wei said with a little amused: "Haha, look at you like this, those who don't know think that the announcement is your achievements."

"Don't I care about you, a guy with no conscience." Xiaoling said angrily after hearing Lu Wei's words. However, seeing that Lu Wei finally relaxed his mind, Xiaoling was also happy.

Lu Wei is not blindly optimistic. Lu Wei is still very confident about his score. He believes that as long as the judges score fairly and with his performance just now, there should be no suspense in entering the finals.

Sure enough, as Zhou Tao reported Lu Wei's score, the audience burst into a burst of surprise again.

98.75 points!

This score hit a break tonight's score.

Such a result is enough to allow Lu Wei to enter the final easily without any suspense.

When Xiaoling heard this result, his first reaction was to scream happily, and then he hugged Lu Wei next to him excitedly.

And this shot was also captured by many reporters who had been prepared.

The judges chairman Grafman looked at Lu Wei again at this moment, but saw him hugging a girl beside him. A smile appeared on his face, and then he said in a low voice to Zhou Guangren beside him:

"Zhou, I apologize for my suspicion just now. Lu is indeed a rare genius. Oh, the Beethoven he played is so wonderful. And the improvisational creation just now, to be honest, I really can't describe him in words. That is so wonderful. I really don't understand. How could there be so many wonderful thoughts in Lu Wei's mind?"

Hearing Grafman's sincere appreciation, Zhou Guangren smiled happily and continued, "Mr. Grafman, you should believe it now. From the first time I saw this child, I knew that his future achievements in piano will be very great, and even I cannot foresee his future. To be honest, he is one of the most optimistic contestants in this piano competition."

"Yes, but Professor Zhou, I really don't understand. Since you have discovered such an excellent piano student a long time ago, why not let him transfer to your school to receive a systematic and formal piano education? To be honest, this is really a waste of genius!" Grafman said unhappily.

When Zhou Guangren heard Grafman's words, he sighed with a hint of helplessness and said, "Mr. Grafman. Of course, I hope that Lu Weita can come to our school to study. This is not a question that we do not invite, but that Lu Weita is not willing to come at all."

"Oh? Why? From his performance, I can fully feel his love for the piano. How could he refuse your request? Your school is the best music academy in China." Grafman said in confusion, and his heart moved. He thought to himself. Lu Wei refused the invitation from the Central Conservatory of Music. Could it be that he wanted to develop abroad? In that case...

Grafman made a decision almost immediately. After the competition, no matter how Lu Wei's performance was, he would find an opportunity to have a private chat with Lu Wei. If Lu Wei's true thoughts were really like what he thought, he would immediately invite Lu Wei without hesitation. Grafman also knew that many of the judges who came today were professors from well-known music institutions around the world. At this moment, maybe someone had the same idea as him. I'm afraid that if he started late, Lu Wei would be poached by the old guys from other schools.

Grafman's concern is not unreasonable. Indeed, in the judges of other music schools have such ideas in the judges' seats. They do not want to poach other contestants, but most of these people are already students of other music schools, belonging to "famous flowers and masters", and some have long been pianists, so naturally they don't need to go to the music school to study.

And Lu Wei, he is just a normal school student? When many judges heard this, their first reaction was like Grafman, and they eagerly wanted to bring Lu Wei to their school. You must know that if such a genius is trained a little, his future achievements in piano will definitely be extraordinary. At that time, it can bring great honors to the school. Naturally, everyone wants to compete for such a good thing.

Lu Wei's results also put some pressure on the players who have not yet played. However, for these players with rich experience in the competition, such pressure does not have a great impact on them. What's more, since Lu Wei's performance in the preliminaries is not ideal, even though he got the highest score in the game tonight, since entering the finals requires a combination of the preliminaries and the rematch. Overall, Lu Wei's threat to other players is not very big.

The performance of the contestants was still very exciting. Russian pianist Tatling Andong, young Chinese American pianist An Ning and other contestants still performed well, especially Li Yundi, a contestant who was also divided into this group with Lu Wei at night, showed his strong strength. He won a lot of lottery with the sixth song of Liszt's "Paganini Etude". His final score was 98.50, which was also the highest score that Lu Wei had just created, which made music fans amazed.

The one-and-a-half-hour competition came to a successful end with the host Zhou Tao finally announced the end. At the same time, these two rematches also determined the six players who finally advanced to the finals: Lu Wei entered the final with the fourth overall score in the preliminaries. The three players ranked ahead of him were Chinese player Li Yundi, Russian pianist Taitlin Anton, Italian pianist Pompa Antonio. Chinese player Sun Yingdi and Japanese player Shunichi Nakamura ranked fifth and sixth respectively, and also obtained a pass to advance to the finals.

After Zhou Tao announced the list of the finals, the players on the list naturally showed joy, while the players who were eliminated showed frustration. However, facing the powerful strength of these people entering the finals, they had to admit convincingly that their skills were not as good as others.

However, the most exciting and happy thing is the media reporters. You should know that although this China International Piano Competition is called "international", it is far from being compared with the Liszt, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky piano competitions in terms of scale and popularity. At best, it can only be regarded as an international second-rate event. However, the excitement of this competition is far beyond the imagination of those of them. In the competition these days, some amazing performances often appear, and many contestants participating in the competition show the international first-class level.

Of course, what impressed them the most was the Chinese contestants, among the six contestants who made it to the finals, there were actually three Chinese contestants. Although there may be some home factors in this, the influence of home factors in such instrumental competitions is almost negligible. These days, they all saw the competitions, and several Chinese contestants. They did make it to the finals with their own strength.

However, the biggest highlight is probably the mediocre performance of Dilu Wei tonight and standing out like a dark horse tonight, which left a deep impression on the media reporters. In particular, the amazing news broke out from the judges Chairman Grafman, which shocked and madly shocked these reporters.

The direct consequence of all this is that as soon as the game ended, Lu Wei was blocked by dozens of reporters at the door, dozens of microphones and recorders of varying lengths opened the rack to himself. He looked at several other players entering the finals not far away. The situation was similar to that of himself, but it seemed that his "popularity" was even stronger.

He looked at Xiaoling beside him helplessly, and saw that she also had a smile that she had used to, but said two words silently: "Hurry up!"

Nodding with a smile, Lu Wei began to accept the "crazy bombing" of the reporters."

"Hello, Lu Wei, I am Louise, a reporter from the American "Voice of Music" magazine. First of all, congratulations on you for being qualified for the finals." A tall blonde beauty said to Lu Wei with a smile.

"Thank you!" Lu Wei also replied politely. In the face of the media, Lu Wei has already mastered a skill in dealing with it very well.

"Okay, during the competition, Chairman Grafman mentioned that you have only learned piano for less than a year. Is this true?" Louise's first question pointed out the most concerned issues of these media.

This question immediately attracted the attention of other reporters, and everyone's eyes immediately looked at Lu Wei.

"Yes, what Mr. Grafman said is true. I have been learning piano systematically for less than a year." Lu Wei said with a smile.

Looking at Lu Wei's serious appearance, Xiao Ling next to her felt a little funny. She naturally knew what Lu Wei's so-called "more than a year" was going on, but of course she wouldn't point it out.

Lu Wei's answer aroused another amazement from the reporters.

"Hello Lu Wei, I am Xie Ming, a reporter from "Speech Fashion". Do you still remember me?" A thin reporter said with a smile.

"Of course I remember." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"Lu Wei, congratulations on your progress to the finals. What is your ultimate goal in this competition? Is it the champion?" Xie Ming pointed to the key points with one sentence, which immediately attracted the attention of all reporters.

"This, of course!" Lu Wei answered this sensitive question without any consideration. After tonight's game, he had completely emerged from the shadow of the game's defeat. He was full of confidence in the finals later, and naturally answered it seemed particularly straightforward.

However, this answer is very good for the reporters' appetite. Most of them get the answer when asking other contestants this question, either "maybe" or "do your best". No one answered honestly and positively. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei was so frank. However, this also added a lot of writing materials to the news, so they were naturally very high

"Hello Lu Wei, I am a reporter from People's Music. I just heard at the rematch site that you are still a student from a normal school, are you?"

"Yes, I'm now attending Changli Normal School in Hebei."

"You are so talented in piano, have you ever considered going to a professional music school to further your studies?"

"I don't have such an idea yet, but if there is a good opportunity, I won't refuse."

"What are the good opportunities you are referring to?"

After being harassed by reporters for more than ten minutes, Lu Wei and Xiaoling broke through the siege, then immediately got into a taxi and headed straight to the Holiday Hotel.

However, Lu Wei, who thought that he could have a good rest when he returned to the hotel, just as soon as he entered the hotel, he saw two people sitting on the sofa in the lobby, looking at him with a smile. One was his teacher Kong Xiangdong, while the other one was his own teacher.

Her head full of silver hair, a pair of framed glasses, and a kind smile was Grafman, who served as the chairman of the jury at the competition site these days.

Seeing these two people coming, Lu Wei knew that they must be here to find him, so he hurriedly went up and said hello with Kong Xiangdong. Naturally, he was very familiar with Kong Xiangdong, but although he met Grafman every day in the past few days, the two of them had not spoken formally except for today's game, so Lu Wei naturally went up to greet him very seriously.

"Hello, Mr. Grafman." Lu Wei walked over with a smile, nodded and said.

"Oh, Lu Wei, hello, I just learned from Kong that you live here, so I rushed over first. I'm sorry that I'm here to disturb your rest so late. You won't blame me, right?" Grafman said with a smile.

"How could it be? It should be my honor to be here in person." Lu Wei smiled.

"Okay, let's stop talking here, Lu Wei, go to your room." Kong Xiangdong saw the two people talking here, and smiled and said.

"Haha, that's right, let's go, Mr. Grafman, let's sit in the room for a while." Lu Wei said, reaching out to invite. Although he didn't know what Grafman was going to come, Lu Wei felt a sense of respect from the heart of this pianist educator who is very famous in the piano world.

The four of them sat down in the living room of the room, and Xiaoling stood up and poured water for several people.

Grafman sat down, chatted with Lu Weiluo for a few words, and then directly expressed his intention.
Chapter completed!
