After all, the competition is not a concert. After the players finished playing and the judges were giving scores, the audience was still whispering among each other.

After all, it is a break for the players to perform, and it is normal for the audience to discuss the performance of the previous player.

The girl with the ponytail and her two companions came over together and asked in a low voice: "Master, how do you think this guy named Pa did it?"

They can only be regarded as music lovers and have a certain ability to appreciate music, but when it comes to such a more professional competition, they cannot tell the specific level of the players' performance.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "The level is very high. I underestimated the level of this game."

Just when Fang Xing thought so.

The next player on the stage corrected this misunderstanding.

Player No. 2's level is relatively average, and he played Mozart's "Little Star Variations".

My level means that I can play pretty well, but the gap between me and the No. 1 player is a little bit big.

After listening to player No. 1's performance, Fang Xing's psychological expectations for this game were much higher. However, after listening to player No. 2's performance, his psychological expectations returned to their original position.

After all, it's just a preliminary round, and a high-level player should be a special case.

The performance level of the next four or five players is also average in the competition, and there is no player with a higher level than No. 1 Patrick Pate.

When the host invites contestant No. 7 to come on stage.

Lu Xiang'er wore an evening dress, walked onto the stage, bowed slightly to the accompanying orchestra, and then started playing.

On the stage, Lu Xiang'er put on stage makeup and sprinkled glittering powder on the corners of her eyes, giving people a stunning feeling.

Fang Xing couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Even though the aesthetics of Westerners and Asians are different, there were still some foreign spectators at the scene who expressed admiration for the contestants' appearance.

The pony-tailed girl sitting next to Fang Xing whispered: "Hey! Are they contestants from our country? They are so beautiful."

The companion next to her joked: "Maybe it's a Japanese or Korean contestant? You can rely on your appearance to make a living. There's no need to practice the violin so hard. Playing the violin will cause calluses on your hands, right?"

Lu Xiang'er stood on the stage, first glanced around and found her mother's seat in the auditorium, and then quickly glanced back. When she saw Fang Xing, she pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly looked away.

After getting ready, Lu Xiang'er began to play the third movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".

The sound of the piano is brisk and the rhythm is clear.

Fang Xing closed his eyes and listened, and the image of Lu Xiang'er practicing in the training room appeared in his mind.

Compare the melody that Lu Xiang'er plays now with the melody that she heard her practicing before.

I'm sure she performed well, even better than before.

After listening to her quietly playing the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata", Fang Xing felt confident.

Except for the No. 1 player Patrick Pate, there is no player currently playing at a higher level than Lu Xianger.

However, there are 52 contestants in this year’s preliminary round of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

The preliminary round was held over five days, and there were ten contestants competing today.

Since I haven’t listened to other games, I’m not sure what the average level of these 52 contestants is.

After listening to the players’ performances now, Lu Xiang’er’s performance is pretty good.

In the preliminary round, 52 will advance to 10, so if you can enter the top two in each preliminary round, you will have a chance to enter the semi-finals.

Lu Xiang'er's current performance is indeed among the top two in the field. It depends on the level of the three players who have not yet appeared.

After Lu Xiang'er finished playing, he bowed to the band again, then turned and returned to the backstage.

The on-site judges scored the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata".

The scores are not announced on the spot. After the judges have finished scoring, the host will invite the next player to perform.

After all ten players had finished their performances, Fang Xing could tell that there were three players, including Lu Xiang'er, whose performance was higher than the average level of the field, and they were all likely to get a spot in the semi-finals.

The final result depends on how the judges score.

After all, this kind of musical instrument performance competition is manually scored, which will inevitably be affected by personal perception, so the results cannot be completely predicted.

After the game, the scores of the top ten players were announced on the spot.

Lu Xiang'er performed very well and achieved the second highest average score in this preliminary round.

However, this result is only the result of this game.

There are a total of five preliminary rounds with a total of 52 players.

Whether or not they can advance to the semi-finals will be announced after all five preliminary rounds.

After watching the International Violin Competition of Paganini Caprices, Fang Xing got up and left the venue, and sent a congratulatory WeChat message to Lu Xiang'er on his mobile phone.

Fang Xing: I performed well and entered the semi-finals.

Lu Xiang'er: I'm not sure yet. What if the other games are even better?

Fang Xing: In theory, the highlight of this kind of competition will be in the first game, so you can definitely enter.

Lu Xiang'er: I hope so.

Fang Xing: When will you return to Donghai?

Lu Xiang'er: The flight is tomorrow evening.

Fang Xing: Are you going to visit Genoa tomorrow? The scenery in this seaport city is actually pretty good.

Lu Xiang'er: Well, okay.

Just as Lu Xiang'er was giggling at her phone.

Mother Lu went backstage to greet her daughter with flowers in her hands, and the mother and daughter hugged each other.

"Xiao Xiang is awesome!" Mother Lu gave a thumbs up, with tears in her eyes.
Chapter completed!
