Chapter 382
sses Boy hurriedly lowered his head to do the experiment, but Gu Jingyuan stopped and rested
for a while before continuing.
Saturday.
Ivy League Composition Competition venue.
Central Concert Hall was divided into two halls, Hall A and Hall B. The contestants who came to
participate in the semi-finals were also divided into groups A and B topete.
Due to Shi Xuexin''s widespread publicity, there were many people headed to Central Concert Hall.
The concert hall was not big, and each hall could only amodate 500 people. The number of
people who hade far exceeded a thousand.
The scene was very impressive.
Shi Xuexin had never seen so many fans before, so she could not hide her excitement.
Hu Lai was maintaining order at the side as she exined to Shi Xuexin, "We have already
convinced the Ivy League''s organizingmittee to coborate with us. We will use a livestream to
let the fans see the progress of our entirepetition. This will be very beneficial to you."
Shi Xuexin was even more excited.
With her ability, it was very easy for her to make a name for herself in thispetition.
She remembered Shi Baozhi telling her that there were no particrly outstanding contestants in
the preliminaries. It was expected that she would be ranked at the top of the semi-finals.
After Shi Xuexin was done with her makeup, the director of the livestream team followed her in and
greeted her. "Xuexin, I heard that you are the champion of the preliminaries and also a major yer
in the semi-finals. Now, please greet the fans in front of our livestream screen."
"Hello, everyone. I''m Shi Xuexin. I''m very happy to be able to get to know everyone through piano,"
Shi Xuexin said gently to the camera.
Her gentleness was very likable. After a while, many words like "gentle sister" and "talented girl"
appeared on the bullet screen, praising her very highly.
At that moment, there were two groups on the live-stream screen. One was Shi Xuexin''s side and
the other was Hall B.
The Ivy Leaguepetition had never been very influential. After all, it was not easy to select a
winner between professionalposers for ssical piano music.
Therefore, even though the organisingmittee invested a lot of money, manpower, and
resources every year just to find a few talents that could inherit the tradition, the results were never
ideal.
This time, because of Shi Xuexin''s arrival and the importance of Xiuli Entertainment, thepetition
was pushed to a wider audience. This attracted many viewers who were originally not interested in
piano
Therefore, the organizingmittee ced great importance on Shi Xuexin. The main resources
and live broadcast footage were also focused in Hall A.
They hoped that they could use thepetition to truly filter out talents. They also wanted more
talents to participate in theposition of ssical piano pieces.
Although there was another scene in Hall B, there were only 20-30,000 viewers. Most of them were
the contestants'' family and friends.
As for Hall A, because of Shi Xuexin''s appearance, there were already more than 500,000 viewers.
It was not easy for the director of Hall A to get the job at Hall A. He had already announced that
after thepetition ended today, he would treat everyone to a meal. It could be predicted that his
viewership numbers would be very good.
As for Hall B, many people were sighing. It was not exciting to work at all.
"Xuexin, which master did you learn piano from?" the director asked.
"I learned it from my aunt, Shi Baozhi. I believe those who have some understanding of the piano
know about Shi Baozhi..."
There was amotion in thements. "Shi Baozhi? Is that the Shi Baozhi I know? She''s
awesome! She''s a piano teacher at the Imperial Capital Music Academy. She has won the first prize
in at least five nationalpetitions and participated in Liszt''s global pianopetition."
"From what I know, she''s a member of the Piano Association! Shi Baozhi is very powerful!"
"Wow, no wonder Xuexin is so amazing. She has such an amazing teacher."
"I''m impressed. A good teacher must be matched to good students. No wonder they are both so
good."
"I''ve studied piano for so many years just to get into Imperial Capital Music Academy, but... sigh,
let''s not talk about it anymore, I''m crying."
"Xuexin graduated from the Imperial Capital University, and she has a teacher like Shi Baozhi.
Other people''s fates are gold and silver, our fates..."
As Shi Baozhi''s name came out of Shi Xuexin''s mouth, the number of people watching the live
stream in Hall A soared once again. Soon, it exceeded 700,000.
The judges also entered the venue.
As the judges were good at theposition aspect and not the performing aspect, even though the
judges were very professional, they were not as famous as Shi Baozhi.
Therefore, the film crew continued to focus on Shi Xuexin.
At the door, the appearance of two people caused a smallmotion.
"It''s Sheng Tian and Peng Guanyu!"
"It''s the first and second ce winners of the preliminaries of the Chopinpetition!"
"Wow, my visit today was worth it."
Sheng Tian and Peng Guanyu won first and second ce preliminaries of the Chopinpetition.
Although they did not achieve much in the finals of the Chopinpetition, they still had many fans.
Especially Peng Guanyu. After getting second ce, he quickly signed with a local management
company and was already on two variety shows. His poprity was no less than the current idols.
He used piano as a springboard and his future was bright.
Because he had an entertainmentpany behind him, his makeup and hair had been specially
taken care of. Compared to Sheng Tian, who was purely a pianist and had a in look, he was
much more eye-catching.
Seeing Sheng Tian, Peng Guanyu walked over and greeted him with a smile. "Sheng Tian, long
time no see."
Sheng Tian smiled.
Peng Guanyu''s assistant said with a smile, "Guanyu, let''s go in first. There are a lot of people in Hall
A, and it''ll be crowded if we''rete."
"Guanyu,e in!" A few people from the production team of Hall A came to wee Peng
Guanyu.
As today''s guest, Peng Guanyu was going to be on the livestream. His arrival and appearance
would attract countless fans to Hall A''s livestream.

Peng Guanyu was soon taken away, leaving behind Sheng Tian.
Today, only his sister apanied Sheng Tian.
Normally, a pianist of Sheng Tian''s level would have an assistant by his side. However, Sheng Tian
was prideful and looked down on thesepanies. Moreover, he didn''t want his professional piano
skills to be a springboard for him to enter the entertainment industry, so he never signed with
anypanies.
He didn''t want to be controlled either. Therefore, such important asions were always
apanied by his sister.
His sister looked at Peng Guanyu and said in a low voice, "You were supposed to go to Hall A..."
Hall A and B were all the same size, and the number of spectators was the same. However, Hall A
was filled with the major yers, while Hall B was considered a team that had been given up on.
Therefore, after the organizingmittee started the livestream, the resources allocated to Hall A
and B werepletely different.
