"Oh, it's such a pity, it's only a little bit away!" A young female musician in the audience sighed loudly when she saw the host's reading the score.

"That's right, I really like the last song "Overb of the Undead". This is the best song I have heard in the past few days. Why can't such a contestant get the first place? He should get the first place." A boy next to the girl also echoed.

"These judges are all old men. They can't appreciate "The Overture of the Undead". They are too pedantic. The contestants who can write such songs can't win the first place? This is ridiculous!" said a young music fan dissatisfied.

Far away, Chen Siying, who was in front of the TV, saw the final result of the game, and her face was filled with disappointment.

"Oh, it's such a pity, it's just a little bit short of it. But Siying, don't be unhappy, this result is not bad, right? And the last song "Overb of the Dead" he played is really super cool. When did you ask him to come to the United States? I want to listen to him play it for me personally, okay?" Daier looked at Chen Siying's unhappy and comforted him with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Chen Siying's previous unhappiness was only a moment. For her, there were too many scenes she had seen since she was a child. Although this game was a top-notch event in the world, it was just a small scene for her. It was just because of Liu Yufan that she cared a little more. Since she was with Yufan, she unconsciously thought about everything from Yufan's perspective. Although she knew that it was his first time participating in such a world-class competition, it was actually normal that she could not win the first place. But when she really saw this fact, she was still a little disappointed. Fortunately, her training since childhood made her quickly adjust her mentality.

"Oh. It's such a pity, it's just a little bit short." Li Xiaoling, who was in the audience, looked at the host's announcement of the results, looked a pity. She then took out her mobile phone and turned it on, and dialed out a familiar number.

"What are you busy with in beauty?" Li Xiaoling waited until the phone was connected, and she laughed and teased her first sentence.

The other end of the phone was no one else, but her best friend Jiang Ya's beauty. By the way, she came to interview the Liszt Cup this time, not only with the tasks from the station, but also arranged a lot of "sub-line" tasks for her. One of them was to report to her about the Liu Yufan game at any time. When Li Xiaoling asked her why she didn't ask herself, Jiang Ya was very upset, afraid of "disturbing Yufan's game". She was helpless about her pampering this "little boyfriend". Li Xiaoling was helpless and repeatedly warned her not to spoil this guy, but it seemed that her words did not work at all.

"I'll wait for your phone call, hey, how about it? Is it over? Which is Yufan?" Jiang Ya's voice was somewhat urgent on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe, I said you're so anxious. It's hard enough for me to be interviewed here every day, and you don't know how to comfort me." Li Xiaoling knew that Jiang Ya was anxious and deliberately teased her.

"Come on, my good Ling'er. Don't make trouble. When you come back, I'll treat you to a big meal. You said you can go anywhere, it's OK." Jiang Ya said with some complaint.

"Hello, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Your little lover, performs well, second place, how about it, okay, this is a world-class event, this little handsome guy is quite capable. Alas, you don't know, the last one he played is called "Overb of the Undead", which is great, even I am fascinated by it. Go back and you have to let him record it and give me a CD." Li Xiaoling said with a smile.

"Second place?" Jiang Ya's voice was a little disappointed when she heard Li Xiaoling's words.

"Okay, don't be dissatisfied. The second place is good. You know how strong the people who compete with him are. This ranking is quite powerful, and it is 0.2 points lower than the first. Next time I have the chance to work hard, I might be the first." Li Xiaoling comforted on the phone with a smile.

"Well, Xiaoling, I understand. By the way, Xiaofan went so far for the first time. If he had any needs, please take more care of me." Jiang Ya said worriedly on the other end of the phone.

"I know~~~Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to interview you. I'm too late and there's no room for the plane." Li Xiaoling said, hurriedly hung up the phone.

In the middle of the stage, when Liu Yufan heard the host's final results read out, he was slightly stunned, and then a faint feeling of loss surged in his heart.

The second place sounds pretty good! If it weren't for the competition, Liu Yufan would definitely be quite satisfied with this ranking.

But at this moment, his heart was a little unbalanced.

This imbalance comes from the performance of the players he met.

Yes, they are very strong, including Valodos, who is now ready to win the championship. He is stronger than many people. But Liu Yufan thinks that if two people are together, he is not inferior to him. Moreover, in terms of his performance just now, Liu Yufan is also confident that his performance must be above Valodos.

However, this is a competition, and it is a certain coincidence. Liu Yufan also knew that his appearance order was not advantageous. In addition to "Chasing the Snow", the other two songs he chose were slightly less difficult. It was ridiculous that he thought that the judges were not only watching the songs, but also looking at their expressiveness. Now he thought about it, but now he was a little naive. He even doubted that when he was playing those songs, especially the last song "Overview of the Dead", would the judges really understand? After all, they were classical.

Liu Yufan was a little confused, but at this moment he couldn't help thinking too much. The other nine contestants had already stepped onto the stage and stood up with the help of the host and staff, and were ready to start accepting the awards.

Compared with many domestic competitions, the arrangement of the Lister Cup is quite simple and efficient. After the host announced the results of the competition, a simple award ceremony began.

The first thing to start was the award of the Excellence Award. Four contestants including Wang Yujia and Maxim won the award. The moment they won the trophy, several people raised their faces and their expressions were very happy. After all, it was already very successful for them to get to this point. As for this Excellence Award, it was also fair to them. After all, the level was there, and there was indeed a gap compared to the previous ones.

Lang Lang, Kozlowsky, and a female contestant from the Juliet Conservatory of Music in the UK won the third place together. Although this result was a bit unsatisfactory for Lang Lang, he had just received an invitation from DG Records, which solved his biggest problem at present. It can be said that he was in a very good mood. He did not show too much dissatisfaction with this result.

But Kozlowsky seemed a little resentful about this ranking, not very satisfied. He did not show much smile on his face when he took over the trophy.

The same is true for Liu Yufan. Although he had a stylized smile on his face, he was a little dissatisfied, especially when he was the second place, he was still with the annoying nick-bomber player Teng Cun-shun, which made him even more unhappy.

Seeing that guy standing beside him and smiling at him in a gloomy way, Liu Yufan wanted to punch this guy in the face.

"Laugh, Xiaomao, the Japanese devils, I've been trying to conspire to plot against me before and I haven't settled my account with you yet!" Liu Yufan glanced at Teng Cunjun and said angrily in his heart.

After taking the trophy and certificate from Berezovsky, Liu Yufan shook hands with him. At this moment, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Liu Yufan still has a good impression of Berezovsky. Although this guy is a little cynical, he has a sense of justice. When he met him twice, he left a good impression on himself. In the final score, he gave the highest score, and he was a big part higher than the other judges, which made Liu Yufan still have a good impression of him.

After presenting the award to Liu Yufan, Berezovsky held his hand and smiled: "The competition is over later. Are you interested in having a drink?"

When Liu Yufan heard Berezovsky's words, he was stunned. He was still presenting awards, why did this person think of drinking? His thinking is really imaginative.

However, he had a good impression of Berezovsky. He naturally had no reason not to agree if he invited him on his own initiative. He nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Berezovsky, this is my honor!"

Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Berezovsky didn't say much, and patted his shoulder with a smile, as if he was encouraging and comforting.

The Liszt Cup Piano Competition, which attracted global music fans, finally came to an end successfully. For music fans, they had a lot of fun, and for the organizers and TV stations, they were all happy and achieved the expected goals. However, for the contestants, they were happy and sad.

Half an hour later, Liu Yufan and Berezovsky sat in a small bar not far from the music center. The name of the bar was very poetic, called "Scarecrow" bar.

He raised the beer in the cup at Liu Yufan. Berezovsky took a sip of it boldly, then put down the wine glass, looked at Liu Yufan and smiled, "Are you very dissatisfied with losing to Valodos?"

When Liu Yufan heard Berezovsky's words, he was stunned. Then he came over and shook his head subconsciously and said, "No?"

"Haha, young man, don't be so hypocritical. I can see that Valodos is not as good as you!" Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan with an unexpected look, as if he was very satisfied with his performance. He took another sip of wine, and then he said casually: "In fact, this game was destined to be the result from the beginning. It was just a boring and manipulated game." (To be continued)
