Chapter 182 Judge Shi Shucheng

"Professor Shi is here, hurry up, everyone!" Seeing a gray Buick business car turning off from the highway and carefully looking at the license plate number, Wang He hurriedly greeted several teachers in the piano store and met him with him.

He waved to the car from afar, and the Buick business car with Beijing license plate coming from the opposite side turned right and slowly leaned towards them.

After parked on the roadside, the door in the middle opened, and two young men, one man and one woman got out of the car, stood on both sides, and then welcoming a middle-aged man wearing a light gray suit, about 1.7 meters, with meticulously slanted heads, and very elegant.

If there are piano enthusiasts or piano students here, they will definitely be surprised to see this middle-aged man! Therefore, the person in front of him is a piano professor at the Central Conservatory of Music and a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Chinese piano education industry - Shi Shucheng.

The reason why such a person was able to invite a judge of the "Jianghai Cup" was, on the one hand, Wang He gave enough "sincerity", and on the other hand, it was related to the special geographical location of the Jianghai. It is not too far from Beijing and is along the coast. It is the time when summer is gradually approaching, and the climate here is very pleasant, and the judges were happy to take advantage of this competition and come here for a vacation.

Seeing Wang He walking towards him and stretching out his hands enthusiastically, Shi Shucheng showed a reserved smile on his face, and he reached out his right hand to match him.

"Oh, Professor Shi, I've been looking forward to you. Haha, this time the Jianghai Cup was invited to be a judge, but it has been several levels at once. I am here to represent more than 10,000 piano children in Jianghai. Thank you for your concern for Jianghai's piano education!" Wang He said enthusiastically while holding Shi Shucheng's hand.

"Hehe, Xiao Wang is polite." Shi Shucheng nodded at him, and said with a faint smile on his lips.

"Professor Shi, are these two?" Wang He asked with a smile as he looked at a man and a woman standing next to Shi Shucheng.

"Oh, they are graduate students I have. This young man is Chang Hua, this little girl is Du Mingyin, Xiao Chang, Xiao Du, and this is Principal Wang He of Jianghai Art School." The other party respects him so much, Shi Shucheng naturally wants to give him face.

"Principal Wang."

"Hello Principal Wang!"

The two greeted Wang He respectively, but their attitude was similar to Shi Shucheng. Although they had smiles on their faces, they had a faint and reserved smile. The graduate students led by Shi Shucheng were already at the level of young pianists. When they came to such a small city, they naturally felt condescending. In fact, in China, students from the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music have the capital to stand out in any part of the country. Among the top Chinese music academies, the most powerful piano level is recognized as the alto, and they are several levels higher than other places, and are truly international standards.

Wang He didn't care about the other party's attitude, but felt that it was right. The people in front of him are real big names in the piano industry, especially Shi Shucheng, who can't even invite money. If it weren't for his invitation several times this time, and the other party just happened to come here to cool off, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been invited this time. Not to mention anything else, if someone comes once, he is willing to sit as a judge and take a few photos with the teacher of the art school, the popularity of the art school will definitely increase "rather"!

Wang He did not introduce the teachers behind him. Although these people are also the top backbone of the art school, they obviously are nothing in front of them. Even if they introduce them, they probably don’t have much interest. So Wang He greeted them under the car and invited them to the car. Then two cars from the art school took the lead and drove to the hotel where they were staying.

In the private room on the second floor of the most luxurious Jianghai Hotel in Fu'an, Wang He and Director Xie Xiaosong of the Municipal Cultural Center held a banquet to entertain Shi Shucheng and his party. At the same time, in order to show their importance to the competition, the city also came with a deputy director of the Propaganda Department and a deputy director of the Cultural Bureau. Of course, they were both idle positions with low rankings.

Dai Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, was a little depressed at the moment. Originally, there was an inspection task in the bureau who ordered him to go to, but after such a thing happened, he temporarily brought himself to serve as a judge. From the bottom of his heart, he was more willing to go to "inspection". I heard that there were several scenic spots in the places he went to this time, which he had never been to.

However, after the organization's arrangement, he could not refuse, as it seemed that his political awareness was too low. Especially since Minister Jiang had just taken office, everyone was busy showing off. Naturally, he could not sing the opposite tune at this time and took the lead and did not listen to the arrangement. You must know that he, the deputy minister, was just a good-named person, and in fact he could not control any real power.

Dai Qiang knew nothing about piano. The only song he knew was "To Alice". He always listened to it. By chance, he became interested and wanted to find out the name. The young Dong in the office told him.

However, this did not prevent him from being a judge of the piano competition. Anyway, the rest of the people are professionals. If you add him in, it is nothing more than just showing the political work. When it comes to scoring, he just needs to watch those people play and follow them, which is not difficult.

Seeing Shi Shucheng sitting next to him and being the core of everyone, he was a little surprised. He was just a piano player. Does he pay so much attention?

Of course, Minister Dai didn't know how much Shi Shucheng was in the piano world. The two people were completely two worlds and had the only intersection between them, even if this piano competition was not too large.

While the few people were drinking and chatting here, the Jianghai Workers' Cultural Palace became more and more lively. Today is the registration day for the competition. The official competition will start tomorrow. However, there are many tasks today. You have to fill out the registration form first, then draw lots to decide to group, and hold a short meeting under the organizer's organization to listen to the participation.

"Yufan, Quan Tao, I have already received the form. You two can come here to fill in it." Peng Tielin said, raising two blank forms in his hand and rushing to wait not far away.

The registration place was a small hall, about 100 square meters. At this moment, many contestants and parents had already squeezed in. Those who received the form were looking for places to fill in. The only coffee table that could write normally was full of people. The chairs placed next to them were already full of people. More people were looking for windowsills, steps and other places to do whatever they wanted.

Liu Yufan took the form from Peng Tielin and looked at the contents above. There were only a few simple items, all of which were basic situations. He took out the piano he carried with him, found a wall, pressed the form on it and started filling it up. After a while, he filled in the form after a few strokes.

After taking the form handed over from Liu Yufan, he looked at the beautiful running script on it. Peng Tielin kept nodding and smiled: "Yufan, I can't tell, you have written a good handwriting."

"Haha, Teacher Peng has been awarded the award. He practices it when he has nothing to do, and it's still pretty neat." Liu Yufan said modestly.

After hearing Peng Tielin's words, An Quantao felt ashamed. After looking at the crooked words on the table, he felt a little ashamed and depressed. He thought that it would be fine if Liu Yufan played the piano better than him, but he could write so well. Isn't this a blow to people?

He quickly filled out his form and handed it to Peng Tielin. The latter took it over, skillfully posted the photos prepared in advance, and then took the two of them to the lobby where the meeting was held.

It is said to be the hall for meetings, but it is actually the competition venue. This is a hall of about 5,000 square meters. The audience seats are divided into two floors and two floors. There is a semicircular stage in front. At this moment, a black grand piano has already been placed in the center of the stage. Because it is far away, it is impossible to see what brand it is, but in terms of size, it is the largest nine-foot-large triangle, playing piano.

A huge banner of the "Second Jianghai Cup Piano Competition" has been hung above the stage. There are stacks of materials next to the temporary tables below, and several staff members are busy.

The three of them found a position in front of the middle and sat down. After a while, the contestants and parents who had completed the form began to enter the hall one after another.

The Jianghai Cup competition is divided into two groups, namely the children's group and the adult group. With the boundary of 16 years old, Liu Yufan and An Quantao are students, but they have to be counted as adult group by age. Compared with some amateur children's group, the adult group seems more professional, and there are more professional players in it.

While Liu Yufan was looking at the materials in his hand bored, a beautiful woman in black clothes suddenly came over the front row. Somehow, at first glance, Liu Yufan suddenly felt familiar.

As if he felt the gaze that Liu Yufan was coming, the woman in black looked up at Liu Yufan, but her eyes were separated after a moment of meeting. The woman found a seat not far from Liu Yufan in the front row and sat down.

Most of the people participating in the competition are accompanied by family or teachers. Compared to them, the woman in black seems a bit special.

Liu Yufan searched desperately for the familiarity in his mind, but he always couldn't figure it out as if he was separated by a layer of film, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After a while, the staff began to notify the contestants to draw their own competition number, and Liu Yufan and An Quantao walked onto the stage.

After meeting countless beauties of all sizes along the way, Liu Yufan also sighed that compared with other competitions, the chance of having beautiful women in piano competitions is indeed quite high.

Looking at the number tag placed in the large glass fish tank in front of him, Liu Yufan drew one with a relaxed expression, while An Quantao shook it nervously, and then he drew it out.

"Group B No. 12" looked at the number in his hand, and Liu Yufan said lightly.

"It's so miserable. Why am I also a Group B? I'm No. 3. Alas, I've been assigned to the same group as you." An Quantao said with a bitter face.

"What's your expression? What's wrong with the first group? It's not that there is only one qualifying place." Liu Yufan looked at An Quantao's "fussy" look and said with a pout.

"Hehe, Brother Fan, isn't this with you? I feel stressed?" An Quantao laughed.
