Chapter 490 Exceed

Author: Qing Xiyuan

The International Piano Competition is held every three years.

This is the third time to participate. Both of them are over 12 years old and can only participate in the youth group competition.

There are some contestants in the group who are older than the two of them and have been practicing piano for longer than them.

So it is not an easy thing to get a ranking.

The reason why the two of them continue to compete is because they both know that only by constantly competing with outstanding people can they see the gap between themselves and others and catch up——

Originally Junjun didn't understand this, but because he had been close to cousin Qingning over the years, he gradually came under the influence of Gu Qingning and became very motivated.

…

The game starts tomorrow morning.

The plane landed at Seine City Airport. After receiving the contestants and their families, the person in charge of the event took them to the hotel arranged by the organizer to rest.

During the first two visits, Lan Shu and Xiaobai's friend Mark from abroad came to receive them, as a landlord.

This time, Mark was on a business trip to another country due to something unexpected and could not come back for the time being.

So Mark called Lan Shu in advance to express his apology.

In this regard, Lan Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with Mark not coming to pick them up.

She asked Mark to work peacefully and to visit their country if he had time in the future. Then she and Xiaobai would personally take Mark to taste delicious food from all over the world!

Lan Shu still remembers that Mark was more interested in their country’s food than having fun~!

At noon, although there was no banquet from Mark, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai still took their children out to eat at a local specialty restaurant.

Before the family of four set off, Lan Shu called Tang Chu and Junjun to join them.

The first two times he went abroad, because Mark was treating him to dinner, Tang Chu and Tang Chu were not familiar with each other, so they did not go together.

This time is different.

Not to mention that she was Lan Shu's sister-in-law in terms of status, as far as the relationship between her and Lan Shu was concerned, there was no need to be embarrassed in the early Tang Dynasty.

So Tang Chu took Junjun with him, and they all had lunch together in the restaurant outside.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng needed to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.

So the two families stayed in the hotel without going out.

Five-year-old Gu Zerui was lively and active, but when Ruirui heard that her sister would participate in the competition tomorrow and had to have a good rest today, Ruirui rarely clamored to go out to play.

Instead, he stayed in the hotel obediently, with his parents accompanying him and telling him stories.

…

The next morning, in the famous music auditorium in Seine City, the process was the same as the previous two piano competitions. At the beginning, the contestants of the children's group took the stage to perform.

By the time the youth group started competing, it was already past ten in the morning.

This time, because Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng were young, they were ranked first in the order of taking the stage.

The event organizers never thought that at their age, they would be able to compete with those junior contestants who were older than them.

So they were put in the front, that is, they were put on display and used as cannon fodder.

Even though they won the gold medal and silver medal in the children's category in the last piano competition, there is still a big gap between the level of the children's category and the youth category.

Lan Juncheng's order of taking the stage this time is still in front of his cousin Gu Qingning.

Fourteen-year-old Junjun has inherited Lan Dazhuang's physique and is over 1.7 meters tall. Among all the contestants in the youth group, he looks even taller than many others.

Only by looking carefully can you tell from his slightly green face that he is indeed younger.

Junjun started learning piano when he was six years old and has been studying for more than seven years.

In the words of the piano teacher, he has talent himself. Coupled with his persistent practice over time, Lan Juncheng's piano playing level is no worse than that of his teacher.

Three years ago, he won the silver medal in the children's category of the International Piano Competition. At that time, he had only been studying piano for more than four years.

Now with three more years of study and practice, Lan Juncheng's playing level is many times better than before!

So when he stood on the stage, sat in front of the piano, and started playing.

In just a blink of an eye, the jumping notes turned into a moving piano music, which made the judges in the audience first surprised, and then amazed!

No one thought that a fourteen-year-old boy could have such a level of performance.

This can definitely compete with those outstanding contestants in the youth group!

After Lan Juncheng's performance ended, Gu Qingning's performance came next.

Gu Qingning has studied piano for three years longer than her cousin Lan Juncheng.

Even though Gu Qingning has never slacked off in playing the piano, most of the time talent determines how far a person can go.

Her playing skills are not bad either, but she is not as spontaneous and flexible as Lan Juncheng, and she is not as amazing to listen to!

But her proficient playing skills can definitely compare with other contestants in the youth group!

At the International Piano Competition, the contestants of the youth group completed their performances one by one, and the competition of the youth group will be held next.

But before that, the judges already have a rough idea of ​​who from the first two groups can get the top three.

In the audience, Lan Shu, Xiao Bai and a domestic competition teacher sitting in the front row of Tang Chu turned their heads and said with a smile, "Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning performed very well.

There may be good news later."

With these words, Lan Shu smiled knowingly, and Tang Chu was also very happy.

However, Lan Shu did not raise her psychological expectations before her child won the prize.

She thinks it's okay to treat it with a normal attitude.

Otherwise, if you don’t get the prize, you will be very disappointed.

But Tang Chu felt that his son would definitely get a good ranking this time because of the words of the teacher who led the team!

Fortunately, Junjun kept his spirits up. When the competition of the youth group was over and the rankings of the first two groups were announced, among the top three in the youth group, Lan Juncheng's name ranked first and won the gold medal in the youth group of the International Piano Competition!

Gu Qingning's ranking is third.

It took Junjun three years to surpass his cousin in piano playing.

And she was already very happy that Gu Qingning could get third place.

After all, she is only fourteen years old now, and the second foreign contestant is already seventeen and will soon be eighteen.

She believes that given another three years, her piano playing level will be much better than it is now!

So she is still young and has a promising future——

…

After the international piano competition ended, Lan Shu and Tang Chu took their children on a one-day trip to Seine City the next day.

Xiaobai flew to Linshi, Seine City, to participate in an exchange meeting in the game development industry.

The game development exchange conference in 1996 was not very popular, after all, there were not many people in this field.
