Chapter 531 In the Lights and Expectations

Bai Lu frowned slightly, and soon it melted like candy paper, and she sighed slowly: "That's good, I was really worried that I would do something stupid again."

"How can there be so many stupid things, Teacher Bai Lu, don't think too much, and if you need any help, I'm always at Huayuanqiao Community Health Center."

Mu Chun was halfway through, Bai Lu interrupted, "Yeah, the outpatient department of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine on the fifth floor of Huayuanqiao Community Health Center."

Mu Chun nodded with a grin, "That's right, that's right."

"There is another thing I should have told you in your clinic on Monday, about He Ping." Bai Lu's voice suddenly became gentle and deep. She looked at Mu Chun, and there was a bit of melancholy and even emptiness in her eyes, as if there was a sense of relief and detachment.

"What happened to He Ping?"

"Xu Dan withdrew the charges, saying that everything was a misunderstanding, and He Ping did not force herself on her, nor did he do anything like domestic violence to her."

Faced with the sudden withdrawal of the charges, from Mu Chun's point of view, this matter was a bit too sudden, it was simply groundless or suddenly cleared up after a heavy rain?

Things in the world often happen "suddenly", and most of the "suddenness" is caused by many inevitable factors. These inevitable things sometimes seem to be some simple daily trivialities, but when they gather and intersect in a certain way, a kind of "suddenness" will appear. Simply put, it is like a gene mutation, which happens suddenly, but not out of thin air.

"What are your plans?" Mu Chun asked.

"Eh?" Bai Lu looked puzzled, "Why do you ask?"

In Bai Lu's opinion, shouldn't Mu Chun ask her "What's going on?", "Why did you suddenly withdraw the charges?" or "What exactly is going on?" Isn't it normal for humans to ask these questions?

After being asked by Mu Chun, Bai Lu stood there stupidly, not knowing what to say, so she asked Mu Chun, "What should I plan?"

"It depends on your own ideas, your thoughts in your heart. Otherwise, go drink some wine and see if you can get inspiration?"

After Mu Chun finished speaking, a bell rang in the concert hall.

"This is a reminder for us to enter the venue. We should sit separately. I'm in row 4, seat 1, zone D." Bai Lu took the ticket out of her small white handbag and asked Mu Chun's seat number. After learning that Mu Chun was sitting in the second row, Bai Lu showed a little regret.

"Then let's meet in the hall after the end. Gong Hai must be very eager to hear the comments of you, the performer." Mu Chun said as he walked towards the ticket gate with Bai Lu.

"There is no performer, let alone comments, but I will definitely praise him and believe in his ability." Bai Lu said with a smile.

The final of the Lechuan International Piano Competition is to perform a piano concerto with an orchestra.

Even the youngest contestant in the junior group must have the ability to perform with an orchestra if he wants to enter the final. The performance of this concerto is very different from a piano solo. It requires not only the contestant to be very familiar with his own performance part, but also the ability to cooperate with the orchestra.

In terms of experience in playing with an orchestra, there are also huge differences between contestants. Some contestants may have only one or two ensemble experiences, while others may have many. These differences in experience affect the performance of the contestants in the finals. Some contestants are very good at solo performances, but they always have no feeling when playing with an orchestra. This situation is also very common.

Therefore, before the finals, each finalist will have three opportunities to rehearse with the orchestra. Rehearsal is very important for the contestants, but it is a heavy task for the orchestra. Not only do they need to rehearse to the extent that they can play in the final performance, but they also need to be familiar with the repertoire of each contestant.

In order to reduce the burden on the orchestra and increase the familiarity of the contestants with the orchestra, the organizing committee of the Lechuan International Piano Competition requires that after the results of the first preliminary round are announced, the qualified contestants must decide on the repertoire to be played in the final, so that the orchestra can have nearly 20 days to carry out the heavy rehearsal task.

Now, everyone's rehearsal has ended, and the orchestra is ready. In the next two hours, they will cooperate with different contestants to perform eleven pieces of music. The audience will naturally enjoy a feast for the ears, but the judges may not be so happy. Scoring and simply watching the performance are two very different things.

Mu Chun sat right behind the judges' seats. After taking his seat, the stage gradually became dark, and then a little bit of faint light was slightly lit. The audience could still see clearly. They only saw the musicians on the stage holding their instruments and sitting in their seats. There were a lot of violinists, ranging in age from 23 to 45 years old. The double bass player on the right looked the oldest. The French horn, trumpet and clarinet looked about 30 years old. Mu Chun looked at the introduction on the repertoire list under the weak light. Sure enough, this orchestra was the orchestra that He Ping was in before.

If he hadn't been detained, he should be here to participate in the final performance now. During this period, he should be circling the sea, and he should be able to accompany Bai Lu all the time.

Fate is unpredictable! Mu Chun couldn't help but sigh.

The lights came on, and conductor Shell Best walked out of the side door and walked to the center of the stage with great energy.

The first round of applause of the day broke out from the audience.

Tickets for the final of the Lechuan International Piano Competition were sold to the public six months ago and have long been sold out. Most of the audience have a certain level of classical music accomplishment. Compared with the public performances on weekdays, the audience of the final is more professional and knows when to applaud and when to listen attentively.

The first contestant to appear was Princess Yacang. She chose the song "Piano Concerto No. 2" by Prokofiev. The first contestant to appear is always at a disadvantage. This point has been popularized by Mu Chun in the first preliminary round.

In terms of the performance of the opening contestant, Princess Yacang's performance can be regarded as very beautiful. The strength of the piano was not suppressed by the rich and powerful sound of the orchestra. It not only showed the power of the performance, but also interpreted this Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor in the performer's own way. When Prokofiev first performed it, this piece was criticized for the fierce percussion of the melody and the continuous dissonant chords, but later, this piece was liked by more and more people.

Princess Yacang undoubtedly lit the first firework for the final. The audience was completely immersed in the music, and everyone was looking forward to the next contestant's better performance.

At this time, a series of strange noises of "da, da, da, da, da, da" came from more than 30 rows of seats in Area A. Just as the audience had complained, another series of strange noises of "da, da, da, da, da" came.
