On November 9th, Puyin people finally watched the documentary about An Xin's victory in Leeds. Although it was only a short hour and the budget was not large, the BBC was still very serious and skillful.

At the beginning of the feature film, the music starts first, and the music also fades in. The Clementi Sonata was played by An Xin, and Yang Jingxing could hear it.

At the beginning of the picture, the BBC was also patriotic. In a minute, it showed Leeds's customs, universities, and city hall, and then began to brag about the history and influence of Leeds games. It does this every year without worrying about annoying people. Narrator

It has a magnetic male voice, which is familiar to anyone who has watched the documentary, and combined with the on-site reporter, the temperament of the British is quite different from that of the Americans.

After the narration said "It's not difficult to understand why outstanding young pianists from all over the world gather here", the picture faded out again, followed by a relatively noisy sound, the picture appeared, it was backstage, subtitles said, Manchester, Bridgewater

Special Hall, the home of the Hallé Orchestra.

But this is not a competition, but the night after An Xin won the championship, the top three in the competition performed a concert with Halley. An Xin made the finale and presented Brahms' Second Piano Concerto.

An Xin is still putting on makeup, there is a makeup artist, the clothes have been changed, the beautiful dress is very beautiful, the camera does not need the protagonist to say anything, and there is no narration.

When An Xin was ready, she read the news about herself in newspapers and TV. It seemed that she was really unfazed. She was a veteran. Then someone informed that there were five minutes left, so An Xin went out to the dressing room, with the camera following behind, and several people chatting with each other along the way.

Or clap to encourage An Xin or pay tribute.

The famous conductor was waiting, complimenting An Xin on how beautiful she was. There was no translation, and An Xin smiled and thanked her. Then the champion adjusted his shot backstage, standing there as if he was thinking about something, or moving around a little. This shot was a bit long.

The champion was about to go on stage, and the camera continued to follow behind. As soon as the door opened, applause rang out. An Xin walked out, and the applause became even worse.

The scene switches to the outside shot. This concert hall is also the kind where the orchestra pit is surrounded by auditoriums. The camera is in the back row of the auditorium facing the orchestra. It basically gives a bird's eye view of the whole situation. The attendance rate is quite good, 70 to 80%.

, the applause was also quite warm.

Different from her walking posture backstage, when she appeared on the stage, An Xin was high-spirited and cheerful. With a bright smile, she walked next to the piano and bowed deeply to the audience.

Starting with the music, Brahms is An Xin's specialty. Although it is 100% accurate like the competition piece, the playing is still at the level of a performer and the coordination with the orchestra is quite good.

The documentary skillfully and musically edited approximately two minutes of performance footage, showing the champion's style, the audience's appreciation, the band's commitment, and even the praise of the people backstage from multiple angles.

When the song ended, there was warm applause. An Xin stood up and thanked the audience, the conductor, and the chief. Some people in the audience stood up and cheered loudly.

After thinking about it, An Xin and the conductor left the stage together, spent half a minute accepting the compliments from the people backstage, and then went back to the stage to thank her again.

The content of less than five minutes fully demonstrated the champion's style and popularity. That's why Lu Kaiping wanted to arrange a special time and call on all teachers and students in the school to watch this documentary.

But then the screen changed, and it was An Xin who had just arrived in Manchester, without makeup, wearing daily clothes. Obviously, the topic has come, and then we started to introduce Xinan, who was born in Anhua, an ancient city with thousands of years of history, and is second to none in the world.

Mature Puhai studying Chinese girl.

Haha, An Xin's father and boyfriend also appeared on the scene, but they were not interviewed or featured, but they had lines. Chi Wenrong said: "Don't rush today, have a good rest..."

Dad An actually said: "Participation is important, friendship comes first..."

It seems that An Xin's team was quite unfamiliar in the first period of time when they first settled down, and Chi Wenrong's English was not very good after half a year of tutoring with a teacher.

However, this documentary still tries to show An Xin's unique side. She is calm and a little detached. She doesn't care about the order and timing of the first round. However, the two men are quite thoughtful.

There was no video recording of the first round, so the little joy of entering the second round was still only the accompanying joy. An Xin herself was relatively calm and prepared for the next round with a normal heart.

I feel like there is some inside story. After the second round, before the name was even announced, An Xin met with the famous music critic and host Green. After a long separation, the old guy Green even kissed An Xin's face.

Fortunately, the father and the friend turned a blind eye.

Professor Li's name appeared only during the two-minute conversation between An Xin and Green. Green expressed his professionalism, praised Li Yingzhen's personality charm and teaching achievements, and wished An Xin well.

In the third round of the competition, there is a video, and the name of Yang Jingxing also appears, the author of the Sonata in D major. The footage of An Xin playing the Sonata in D major actually lasts nearly four minutes, with professional music clips interspersed with several experts.

Regarding the evaluation of the players, there was also some jazz who talked eloquently about the pair of pieces, as if he had studied Yang Jingxing, and played the sonata to the sky. And An Xin, who could play it so flawlessly, was of course also in the sky.

The disciplinary film is well edited. In the words Yang Jingxing learned from Kong Yafei, it has a good narrative rhythm, and the content is relatively comprehensive, but not verbose, such as the fierce competition in the competition, the mentality of the players, and a little bit about family and friendship.

Lei. An Xin was very eloquent in several interviews. It was her first time going abroad, and she was even better at facing the camera than Yu Xinting after staying in New York for a year, but she didn't speak English.

Although most of An Xin's words are relatively embellished, they are also from the heart, such as her love and persistence for music. She even admitted that she would be disappointed if she did not get the ideal results, but she would not give up.

The atmosphere before the finals was a little too much, at least in the eyes of Puyin people, it was a bit deliberate, the feeling of competition being paramount, and there were several top six players on the scene, and it felt like it was a life-and-death battle.

An Xin's final piece, "Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3," has been performed by countless top masters. An Xin spent much more time preparing for this piece than "Sonata in D Major."

The effect is of course very good. During the interview, many people believed that An Xin's first place was an absolute advantage, and various words of praise came out, although I was still talking about the top players who entered the finals.

After the ranking came out, An Xin received the award from the nobles. She had no stage fright and was polite and generous.

Zhang Chujia appeared on the scene, and she was so happy and proud of An Xin with tears in her eyes. Her English skills were also pretty good.

Then the documentary footage also became happy...

After winning the championship, there are still ten minutes of content showing An Xin's work and life for more than half a month, the huge changes, from an ordinary student to a busy and respected performer. Interviewed by the media

, was invited by the record company to shoot magazine covers and give autographs to music fans...

An Xin can now choose a piano before a performance. They are all top-quality Steinway instruments and have been tuned by the most professional people. There is enough time for An Xin to carefully experience the feeling.

Famous conductors will patiently and carefully communicate with An Xin about her art during rehearsals, and then praise An Xin highly. The musicians in the big orchestra also think An Xin is very outstanding.

The documentary ends with An Xin catching a flight to the next city...

Although everyone knows that without continued hard work and good team operation, An Xin's glory will not last long, but this documentary still makes Puyin people happy. After all, undergraduates winning the championship of top competitions have already

This has not happened in Puyin for many years. Some good prospects were poached in junior middle school or even elementary school.

While Lu Kaiping strongly praised An Xin and complimented Li Yingzhen, he also reminded everyone not to forget that Yang Jingxing also made contributions, so he took Yang Jingxing to work on the preparations for the "Puyin International Piano Art Center". Everyone must have no objection.

The establishment of the International Piano Art Center is very necessary, because with the rapid development of the piano department, many things are no longer capable of the original organizational structure, and many problems have been discovered in practice.

Lu Kaiping is pretty good at doing this. In a long and written form, he said that the Piano Art Center is mainly engaged in academic exchanges, artistic practice, achievement promotion and teaching research. According to needs, it is necessary to set up a liaison department, a translation department, and a promotion department.

Department, Teaching Department, etc. Of course, the Art Center still has to accept the leadership of the Piano Department.

Lu Kaiping and Yang Jingxing also discussed their ideas. They should use Puyin's appeal to recruit talents, full-time and part-time. In short, they should make it bigger and stronger. The more experts and masters the better, and vigorously develop the art of piano.

Of course, I must be brave and have great responsibilities. For example, the art center will definitely be mainly responsible for future exchanges with Julia. For example, An Xin won the award. If there was a mature and complete art center, it would not be done at the moment.

Being so passive means that even though a championship has been won, the school has not gained much international influence.

Lu Kaiping firmly believes: "Your experience in the record company is very valuable for this job. We can no longer be bureaucratic. We must let go and take a long-term view. The last time I went to Juilliard, I felt very

So profound..."

Yang Jingxing: "Stop talking, I definitely can't be the director."

Lu Kaiping sternly warned: "President Yang and Professor Li have already nodded! Recruit in advance without waiting for graduation!"

Yang Jingxing also understood: "This is not playing the piano, it requires leadership and organizational skills, qualifications and prestige, and persuading the public... I can at most take a position in the teaching department."

Lu Kaiping comforted him happily: "Don't have any ideological baggage. A little pressure is a good thing. First of all, the first one is professional level. You can't say this, right? If you think you are second, no one will dare to think you are first, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I am looking for an opportunity to tell you this. An Xin, the champion, does not depend on my level. If each professor only has to teach one student, Pu Yin does not know how many champions he will produce, but this approach

In fact, it does more harm than good..."

Lu Kaiping was also impatient: "Don't say this, real people don't tell lies. Listen to me, you have many advantages..."

The dean of the department has carefully studied and planned that the position of director of the art center can only be filled by Yang Jingxing at present. Although he may not be 100% convinced and his qualifications are relatively low, he is definitely the one who leaves others speechless the most.

.

Lu Kaiping was very straightforward: "You will understand if you look at the problem from my perspective. It was my proposal to establish the center. The principal can nominate and appoint me. It cannot be me. My professional level is not enough. If nothing else,

At this age, I can’t even remember a few English words I want to learn…”

Or it would be inappropriate to choose any of the six professors in the piano department. Li Yingzhen is old, and the professors are so busy teaching. There are also some reasons that Lu Kaiping feels he can understand even if he doesn't tell Yang Jingxing.

If all the bosses can't do it, who else can? Fortunately, Yang Jingxing is there, and Yang Jingxing's biggest advantage besides his professionalism is: "... basically he has no selfish motives, he just wants to contribute to the school, and everyone sees this."

Here." Lu Kaiping said, but he was not very confident.

As for qualifications, ability can make up for it. In terms of interpersonal relationships, Yang Jingxing can't deceive Lu Kaiping. Regarding leadership, Yang Jingxing himself is also a manager of a company, right?

"It's a good thing to be young, it's wealth!" Lu Kaiping's words seemed to be sincere, "I want to do more work, but my time and energy don't allow it... You're afraid that you won't be able to convince the public. Think about it.

There’s the principal, me, and Professor Li... Mr. Ding, I think he’s in pretty good health, and he’ll have no problem living for a few more years!”

But no matter how sincere the department head showed, Yang Jingxing just refused. As he said at the beginning, he must devote his energy when the school needs it, but when it comes to organizational management, first of all, there is no time, and there is no time to even give it a try. There are too many

Something happened.

Lu Kaiping acted rogue: "If you don't do it, who will? What do you think I should do? Give me an idea!"

Yang Jingxing felt that it was still necessary to explore slowly at the beginning, and seeking big things and everything as soon as he got started might not necessarily lead to immediate results, which would arouse people's discussion.

Lu Kaiping said that if we don’t do something decent, where will our influence come from? How can we carry out our work easily?

Yang Jingxing said that the work should start from a small start. An Xin is riding a rocket, but this rocket cannot carry the Puyin Piano Department...

In the end, Lu Kaiping basically felt that Yang Jingxing's proposal was still feasible, but asked him to report to the principal with him.

But the principal was not as easy to talk to as the department director, and warned Yang Jingxing not to have his own way on this matter. Zhang Chujia had certain abilities and was doing well in Hamburg, but it was still too limited at the moment. To fully open up the work, or

With Yang Jingxing here, the purpose of establishing a new center is to do new work. As the saying goes, inheriting the mantle opens up a new life. Yang Jingxing can no longer back down.

The principal has decided that Yang Jingxing will be the director. He can also organize the team himself. Once he gets the work formalized, he can be assigned to whomever he wants to do it at any time.

The principal also gave Yang Jingxing a high hat: "Starting from you, many tasks in the school need to be reformed, and you must be mentally prepared."

The biggest thing in Yang Jingxing's eyes was: "I'd better discuss it with Professor Li again."

Lu Kaiping was very confident: "Professor Li supports me one thousand percent in this matter, and he supports the principal even more!"

The principal added: "There are people who can play a key role..."
