Chapter 185 Winning the gold medal, "Skylark" became famous

After the average score of Lu Xiang'er's "Skylark" was announced, the seven judges responsible for scoring all had different expressions.

Especially the old-fashioned British judge had the weirdest expression after seeing the score of 95.16.

Because he scored 80 points, if this score is true, then the average score must be very low.

There is only one possibility for the score of 95.16 to appear, that is, his 80 points was the lowest score and was removed.

In the audience, Lu's mother repeatedly confirmed that the score of 95.16 was correct, and then a bright smile appeared on her face, her smile almost reached behind her ears.

"Xiao Xiang's score is so high, Mrs. Chen..."

Mother Lu turned to look at Mother Chen, wanting to celebrate with her, but seeing Mother Chen's uncertain expression, she quickly restrained her smile.

My daughter's score exceeded that of the other party's son, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

Mother Chen was indeed very well-mannered. After her expression changed several times, she smiled at Mother Lu and extended her hand: "Congratulations, Mrs. Lu, your daughter Ling is really talented."

Mother Lu hurriedly shook hands with her and said modestly: "Good luck, just good luck."

Mother Chen kept smiling and asked, "I wonder where this piece of music played by Ling Qianjin came from?"

"this……"

Mother Lu had asked her daughter this question before, so she told her daughter's answer exactly: "Xiao Xiang said that a friend composed it for her, specifically for competition."

Mother Chen kept an elegant smile and said, "Ling Qianjin's friend is really talented and admirable."

"I don't know who her friend is. I think she is a teacher or professor at school." Mother Lu subconsciously thought so.

Mother Chen knew who composed this piece, but she didn't know how to explain it. After being polite, she sat upright in her seat and waited for the game to end.

There was nothing special about the next four players' matches, and their average scores were all around 90 points.

After all the contestants finished their performances, the host announced that Lu Xiang'er won the gold medal of the 57th Paganini International Violin Competition with the highest score in this competition.

Backstage of the Grand Theater.

After Lu Xiang'er heard the organizer announce the results, she jumped up with excitement, hugged Fang Xing's neck, yelled and jumped up and down:

"We won, did we really win?"

Fang Xing was relatively calm and replied: "Yes, I won, gold medal."

Teachers and classmates from the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra gathered around to congratulate: "Congratulations, junior, for winning the gold medal."

When Lu Xiang'er noticed that everyone was gathered around her, her ears turned red. She quickly let go and woke up. She hid her hands behind her back and said coyly: "Thank you everyone. Without your accompaniment, I wouldn't have been able to get this result. Thank you everyone..."

After waiting backstage for half an hour, the organizer began to arrange the awards.

The host invites the three contestants with the highest scores to return to the stage.

The three players are Lu Xiang'er, Patrick Pate, and Chen Wenhan.

The host invited Lu Xiang'er to stand in the middle, and then the other two people stood on both sides.

The hostess came to the stage holding a trophy made of crystal. The trophy was in the shape of a violin. The first prize trophy was trimmed in gold and was very beautiful.

The person in charge of the organizer of the Paganini International Violin Competition came on stage and awarded the gold medal trophy to Lu Xianger.

Subsequently, Patrick Pate won the second prize and Chen Wenhan won the third prize.

In addition to trophies, there are also bonuses.

The first prize is 25,000 euros, the second prize is 10,000 euros and the third prize is 5,000 euros.

After the competition, the organizer arranged for the winning contestants to go to the reception room of the Grand Theater to receive interviews from the media.

When being interviewed by the media, Lu Xiang'er's answers were a bit confused throughout.

Because I wasn’t prepared to win the championship at the beginning, I didn’t have time to think about how to deal with media interviews.

Coupled with a slight language barrier, although Lu Xiang'er could understand most of the questions, he still stumbled when answering.

A reporter from Britain asked: "Ms. Lu Xianger, the violin piece you used in this competition is called "Skylark". The information found on the World Music Copyright website shows that this violin piece was only registered a month ago.

"The author of this violin piece is signed 'Zhuang Zhou'. Who is this composer? What is his relationship with you? Is he present at the scene?"

Lu Xiang'er had not looked at the registration information about "Skylark" on the website before. When she heard the reporter's question, she learned that the registration information of "Skylark" was signed "Zhuang Zhou".

She was stunned for a moment and turned her head involuntarily to look in the direction of the backstage.

Fang Xing stood at the entrance to the backstage, smiling and giving her a thumbs up.

Lu Xiang'er answered the media interview blankly, her mind not on the interview at all.

After the media interview is over.

Major media began to publish the results of the Paganini International Violin Competition.

Front page headlines, big-character headlines:

[Chinese violinist won the Paganini Gold Medal with his song "Skylark".]

[The violin piece "Skylark" conquered the Paganini judges with its unique sound. 】

[A violin piece that suddenly appeared, who was the composer "Zhuang Zhou"? 】

With the conclusion of the Paganini International Violin Competition, the organizers released a video of the competition.

"Skylark" immediately caused an uproar in the violin world.

Countless listeners came here to listen to the "chirp" of "Skylark" and were attracted by the unique sound of this piece of music.

Of course, due to the limitations of violin music itself, its dissemination will not reach the general public.

After all, violin music is actually a relatively high-level music, and the general public rarely listens to this kind of pure music.

However, "Skylark" became completely famous in the violin world, and even other instruments began to try to play this piece.

However, the violin has a unique range and timbre. Even if other instruments are played according to the music score, they cannot produce the cry of "Lark".

Therefore, even if this piece of music is changed to a score for other instruments, it still cannot express the true "Skylark".

…

After the media interview, Lu Xiang'er returned to the backstage and saw her mother coming up to her. With tears in her eyes, she opened her arms to hug her mother and said like a child: "Mom, I won the gold medal."

"What a good boy!" Mother Lu praised her daughter vigorously.

the other side.

Chen's mother also came to pick up her son Chen Wenhan.

However, the expressions of mother and son are more subtle.

Chen Wenhan's face was gloomy and he glanced at Lu Xiang'er and his daughter who were hugging each other on the other side, feeling very complicated.

Chen's mother praised: "It's great to win an award."

In fact.

Winning the third prize in the Paganini International Violin Competition already shows that the violinist has a very high level.

Chen Wenhan's current mood is very complicated.

If it was Patrick Pate who won the gold medal, Chen Wenhan wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

The one who won the gold medal was Lu Xiang'er. In his eyes, this person was inferior to his undergraduate students in every way.

In his mind, he was defeated by a weakling, and this weakling took the "Skylark" he wanted and won Paganini's gold medal.

If his family could help him buy "Skylark", the result would never be like this.

Therefore, Chen Wenhan felt very unwilling, and at the same time he was very envious, envious that Lu Xiang'er could obtain such a masterpiece as "The Skylark".

…

After "Skylark" became popular abroad, it spread back to China.

Domestic media reports use even more exaggerated words.

[The 20-year-old female violinist brought glory to the country and won the highest honor of the violin with her song "Skylark".]

[Another outstanding student from Donghai Conservatory of Music won the gold medal in the Paganini International Violin Competition while in school.]

Among the many news headlines, occasionally one or two headlines also mentioned Chen Wenhan.

[Two students from Donghai Conservatory of Music won the first and third prizes of the Paganini Prize.]

In addition, there is news focusing on the violin piece "Skylark".

[Who wrote "Skylark"? Is it another flower inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall? 】

[Who is Zhuang Zhou, the author of "The Skylark"?]

Although some media are collecting information about the author of "Skylark", few people in China are discussing the name "Zhuang Zhou".

Because domestic netizens will know it is a pen name at a glance, and the name comes from Zhuang Zhou Mengdie.

In other words, foreign media will think that this is the name of a certain composer.
