Chapter 176 Paganini International Violin Competition(1/2)

After signing the endorsement deal with Lan Hai, Qiao Yinghong took the studio's employees out for a team building celebration.

This time, I signed a two-year endorsement deal worth 30 million yuan with Lanhai, and all the studio employees received big red envelopes from Fang Xingfa.

In the next few days, the shooting team hired by Lan Hai began to shoot Fang Xing's commercial.

Fang Xing wore Lan Hai's clothes, stood in front of the camera, and posed in various poses to cooperate with the shooting.

The first day was studio shooting, and the second day I shot some outdoor scenes.

Even if you are just standing as a model, shooting for half a day is quite tiring.

After filming Lan Hai's commercial blockbuster, Fang Xing booked a flight and flew to Genoa, Italy alone.

Genoa is the hometown of violin master Paganini, so the Paganini International Violin Competition is usually held in Genoa.

Lu Xiang'er is going to participate in the preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition and has arrived in Genoa one day in advance to prepare for the competition.

Fang Xing flew over just after finishing his work. According to the address given by Lu Xiang'er, he found the training room where she practiced the piano and stood outside the window to watch her play.

In the elegantly decorated training room, Lu Xiang'er stood in the middle of the room, with the light above her head falling on her curved eyelashes. She looked even more natural and delicate without any eye makeup.

The melodious sound of the violin came from the training room.

Fang Xing listened quietly, carefully listening to every note she played.

Lu Xiang'er played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", and the brisk piano sound was as cheerful as her mood.

After listening to her practice, Fang Xing already had a rough idea.

After all, I have been in the music field for most of my life, so I can naturally tell the level of Lu Xiang'er's music.

Compared with the first time I heard her play the violin, the current "Moonlight Sonata" is a great improvement.

In fact, the last time Lu Xiang'er participated in the violin competition in Donghai, her level was already very good.

There has been progress again in the past two months or so.

If you keep up this pace of progress, you might really be able to achieve something on the violin.

Fang Xing took out his cell phone and took a picture of Lu Xiang'er practicing the piano. He watched it for a while and then left to find a place to eat.

While eating, I sent the photos I took to Lu Xiang'er.

After half an hour, Lu Xiang'er replied to WeChat.

Lu Xiang'er: Have you arrived in Genoa? (Cute pet is shocked.jpg)

Fang Xing: No, I hacked into the camera and took it.

Lu Xiang'er: Where are you?

Fang Xing: Eating.

After posting this, I took a photo of the half-eaten pasta and sent it.

Lu Xiang'er: I also eat pasta for lunch. I found that there are dumplings in Italy, but the taste is not to my liking.

Fang Xing: We have a game in the afternoon and eat too much.

Lu Xiang'er: No way! I am very restrained.

The two chatted on their mobile phones while eating.

Time passed quickly and it was game time.

Lu Xiang'er: I'm going to the competition venue. I'll send you the electronic ticket. (heehee.jpg)

Fang Xing finished his lunch and walked out of the restaurant.

Looking at this harbor city, the scenery is very nice.

Since the hotel where Lu Xiang'er stayed was not far from the music venue of the competition, he could walk there.

When he arrived at the venue, Fang Xing showed his electronic ticket. After entering, he found a seat in the back row and sat down.

Fang Xing originally thought that not many people would come to watch the game.

Unexpectedly, as the time gets closer and closer, more and more people enter the venue.

It seems to be full.

Seeing this, Fang Xing quickly stood up and looked for the seat on his ticket.

Because when I first came in, I thought that this competition would be like the violin competition in Donghai. All the people coming to watch the competition were relatives and friends of the contestants, and there would be no one sitting in the back row.

After seeing more people, Fang Xing roughly understood.

The Paganini International Violin Competition is, after all, the most valuable competition, and it naturally attracts many music lovers to watch.

Therefore, Fang Xing quickly stood up, said sorry to the foreign friend next to him, and then found his seat according to the number on the electronic ticket.

There were tourists from China around the seats. There was a girl with a ponytail covering her mouth and looking up and down.

The girl looked at him for a few times, then turned back to talk to her companion, and then the three girls turned around to look at each other.

Fang Xing guessed that he must have been recognized, so he reached into his pocket, took out a mask and put it on.

The girl with ponytail next to her asked, "Are you that Fang Xing?"

Fang Xing shook his head and asked, "Which Fang Xing?"

The ponytail girl has a very lively personality and started chatting non-stop: "That's the one who sings. I'm sure I'm not mistaken. It's you, right?"

"Did you come here specifically to see the violin competition?

"That's right, you all study music, so it's normal to come to the violin competition.

"Then can you play the violin? I've only seen you play piano and guitar on TV, but I've never seen you play the violin."

The three girls were chattering as if they had discovered interesting things in a foreign country.

Fang Xing asked them a few questions from time to time, trying to keep the topic away from him: "Are you here for a trip?"

The ponytail girl nodded and said, "Yes. We are here for a trip."

"If you are traveling, why would you come to watch the game?" Fang Xing asked curiously.

“It was recommended on the travel app. We didn’t know that before, but after seeing the travel recommendation on the app, we found out that Genoa is Paganini’s hometown. This time we came to visit the Paganini International Violin Competition, so we decided to

According to the recommendation of the APP, I booked tickets to watch the game." The ponytail girl replied.

"Um……"

Fang Xing nodded slowly and asked, "What are you majoring in? A musical instrument competition like this is just pure music. There are no singers singing. Most people may find it boring."

The girl with the ponytail brushed her hair with her hands and replied: "When I was in college, I was in a band. I can play the guitar. Don't underestimate us, okay?"

"So awesome?" Fang Xing praised with a smile.

The pony-tailed girl quickly shook her head and replied: "Oh! I'm so clever in my class. In fact, I just played in a band with my friends. I definitely can't compare with you."

There are only a few minutes left before the game officially starts.

Fang Xing lowered his voice and reminded: "After the game starts later, try not to talk."

The ponytail girl replied cheerfully: "You don't need to remind me about this. This is the etiquette for attending concerts. We all understand it. Don't treat us as ordinary tourists. We also know a little bit about music."

When she spoke, she also made a "little bit" gesture with her thumb and index finger.

Fang Xing smiled and nodded: "I know a little bit, and I'm ready to start."

"Yeah." The ponytail girl lowered her voice and agreed, then became quiet.

As the host of the event came on stage, the scene quickly became quiet.

The host explained the precautions for the competition in English, and then invited the contestants to perform on stage according to their numbers.

The first player to perform on stage was a brown-haired man with a square face, slightly fat, and looked to be in his thirties.

However, many Westerners look anxious.

He looks in his thirties, but he may actually be much younger.

The host introduced this player as Patrick Pate.

The competition piece he played was the first movement of Mozart's Concerto No. 5 in A major.

From an image point of view, the appearance of Patrick Pate is not eye-catching, even a bit too ordinary.

However, the performance level of an instrument has nothing to do with its appearance.

Many world-famous violinists will gain weight when they reach middle age, and carrying belly fat will not affect their performance.

When Patrick Pate played the first melody, Fang Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Because the level of player No. 1 is indeed very high.

It requires skill and skill, and you can even play with personal characteristics in the sound of the piano.

Fang Xing originally thought that this competition was just the preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition, and the level would not be too high.

However, when the first contestant came on stage, Fang Xing changed his mind and directly raised the level of this competition to a very high level.

After Patrick Pate finished playing, the seven judges on site began to give scores.
