Chapter 1172: Being Underestimated!

"Zhang Ming's disciple?"

"When did Zhang Ming accept a disciple? Why have I never heard him mention it?"

"It turns out that he is the disciple that Zhang Ming accepted. When I met Zhang Ming before, I talked about accepting a disciple. Zhang Ming said that he had accepted a good youngster who was very talented at the piano. However, he said that although his disciple was very talented, I don’t seem to be keen on the piano…”

"Professor Zhang doesn't seem to be here this time, right?"

"Probably so. Professor Zhang's disciple has never participated in any competition before and has not achieved any outstanding results. It is obviously a bit reluctant to directly participate in the dispatch group competition. Professor Zhang should be training his disciples, so he gave him Sign up and let him come to the competition to see the world.”

Everyone was looking at Qin Yang, but they were communicating casually with the people next to them. Qin Yang's ears were so good that he heard everything everyone said.

The International Chopin Piano Competition has age requirements for contestants. The previous requirement was between 18 and 29 years old, but was later gradually revised and finally set at 18 to 32 years old.

Do these people look down on themselves?

Qin Yang murmured in his heart, but he didn't have any emotions. After all, this is human nature. He has never participated in any competitions, and suddenly he came to participate in a competition with a dispatch team full of experts. It is normal to be looked down upon by others.

Before leaving, Qin Yang asked Zhang Ming if he wanted to come with him, but Zhang Ming said that he had other important matters and could not come, so he asked Qin Yang to participate in the competition by himself. He also said that Qin Yang had seen all the big scenes and did not care about such a simple event. For the exam, just let Qin Yang take the exam confidently and boldly. Don't worry about grades or anything else. Just treat it as if you are here to see the world and get to know people in the circle.

As Qin Yang's teacher, Zhang Ming truly cherished Qin Yang's talent in piano and never made any demands on Qin Yang. Even though Qin Yang had not participated in any competitions before, did not want to be famous, and had no time to practice, he did not ask Qin Yang for anything. Yang said a strong word, but he was encouraged by Yin Yin.

It was precisely because Zhang Ming treated Qin Yang like this that Qin Yang felt guilty, so he finally changed his mind and decided to participate in the competition, hoping to earn an honor. This honor was not for himself, but for his teacher Zhang Ming. Yes, at least Zhang Ming will not be shy to speak when talking about his disciples in the future.

As a music professor, what Zhang Ming values ​​more is not how much money Qin Yang has made by opening several more companies, but whether he has wasted his talent in piano and whether he has achieved higher achievements in piano.

Simply put, becoming an outstanding or even outstanding pianist is definitely what Zhang Ming wants to see the most, feels the most glorious, and has the most radiance on his face.

Although there is an age limit for the competition, there is more than one person over forty years old in this room. They may be the teachers of the contestants, their elders, or experts from the music department of the Art Academy. Naturally, many of them know each other. Zhang Ming even has friendship with him.

A circle is often said to be big, but the upper echelons of this circle are actually only that big. They all live in the same circle. As long as they are famous, who doesn't know each other?

"So you are Qin Yang. Lao Zhang told me about you... I am Yang Cheng, the vice president of Pengcheng Art College. Lao Zhang must have told you about me, right?"

A fat man in his fifties walked up to Qin Yang, looked at Qin Yang with a smile, and reported his identity.

Qin Yang's eyes lit up slightly: "Hello, Dean Yang, before I left, my teacher told me about you and said that you have profound attainments on the piano. He asked me to find an opportunity to ask you for advice."

Yang Cheng laughed loudly: "You are definitely talking politely. I think what Lao Zhang must have told you is that if you encounter any trouble here, let you ask me to help solve it. He will definitely not say that I have profound knowledge or ask for advice. if!"

Qin Yang couldn't help but have a smile on his face, because Yang Cheng was completely right.

Zhang Ming did indeed explain what Yang Cheng said. Of course, he did say that Yang Cheng was also a pianist. As for asking for advice, it was Qin Yang who said it politely. When they first met, the other party was an elder, so he always You can't be so careless as to say, "My teacher said I'll ask you for help if I'm in trouble."

"Dean Yang, you really guessed it right. My teacher did say that. However, he did tell me to learn from Dean Yang and the seniors. After all, such an opportunity is very rare."

Yang Cheng chuckled and said: "This competition is indeed a rare opportunity for communication. Although it is a competition, it is more about communication and improvement. Especially you young people should learn more about other people's strengths and improve your own weaknesses. , to reach a higher realm.”

Qin Yang agreed with a smile. He could see that Yang Cheng and his teacher Zhang Ming should have a good relationship. After all, Yang Cheng said so, could this relationship be bad?

How can someone with a bad relationship say such a thing?

With Yang Cheng coming forward, everyone looked at Qin Yang a little more kindly. However, everyone still looked at Qin Yang as a junior who came to participate in the competition to learn experience.

Dai Yun came over and encouraged with a smile: "Qin Yang, come on for the preliminary round in the afternoon. There are a lot of people from the dispatch team this time. Only the top ten can enter the semi-finals, and only the top ten can actually go to Japan to compete. Three, the competition is very fierce.”

Qin Yang smiled and said: "I have never participated in a piano competition before, so this time is just a learning experience. But you are so good, you will definitely be in the top three this time and go to Japan to compete."

After parting with Dai Yun yesterday, Qin Yang casually mentioned Dai Yun and found that Dai Yun was really famous. He was known as a rising star in the piano world, which means that he was the most outstanding pianist of the younger generation in the piano world. At the age of 30 this year, he has basically won all the major awards in domestic competitions that his age can participate in, and has also won many awards in foreign piano competitions.

No wonder Dai Yun was surprised to find that he didn't know him yesterday. Apparently, he didn't expect that there were still people in the domestic piano world who didn't know him...

Dai Yun smiled very modestly: "You can't say that. Those who can participate in the dispatched group competition are all masters. It's not that easy to win. No one knows the result until the end."

An old man next to him smiled and said: "Little Dai, you are really modest. As long as you perform normally, I dare to guarantee that you will be among the top three, and the most likely is the first. There is basically no one in the new generation who can beat you."

Dai Yun smiled politely: "Teacher Huang, you are too kind, but the Chopin International Piano Competition is held every five years. I am 29 this year. This is the last one I can participate in. I will try my best to do my best, strive to go to Warsaw, get the first place, win glory for the country, and let myself have no regrets..."
