Chapter 3561 Mutual Evaluation

Outside the copy of Uriel.

"Do you think it's possible for Luigi to reach the stars?" Laplace asked Angel curiously as he looked at the picture in the holographic live broadcast.

While maintaining the live broadcast, Angel thought: "Luigi's two pieces of music were performed very well. Especially his design of "Galaxy Hymn" also included Gulemo's performance, which can be said to be a stroke of genius. "

Laplace: "So you think Luigi can win?"

Angel thought for a moment and nodded.

He doesn't think Luigi can take Gulemo in two rounds, but he should be fine in one round.

Luigi only needs to win one round to be considered successful.

Therefore, the possibility of Luigi reaching for the stars is still very high.

Angel asked curiously: "What do you think?"

Laplace pondered for a moment: "You know, I'm not very interested in art. My appreciation of music is only at the level of a passerby."

"If you just look at the four tracks they performed before, my favorite is actually..."Poetry of War"."

In other words, Laplace is actually more partial to Gulemo.

Angel can understand Laplace's choice. She didn't talk about it from the perspective of appreciation, but just from her listening experience.

Her answer is completely in line with the sense of hearing.

"Shocking" music is often more eye-catching and can leave a deeper impression.

It's like a singer constantly hitting high notes on the stage, directly reaching people's natural inspiration. It is definitely more eye-catching than graceful chanting.

Of course, this does not mean that "Poetry of War" is a work of virtuosity.

Even if it were Angel's ranking, he would rank "Poetry of War" at the top.

However, from a comprehensive perspective, "Grand Garden" has plug-in bonuses, and "Galaxy Hymn" has careful design. Angel personally feels that Luigi is more ingenious.

Laplace: "Ingenuity is certainly pleasing to the eye, but ingenuity is not considered hard power, right?"

Angel: "That's true."

After a pause, Angel continued: "However, in my opinion, a performance is not only a display of hard power, but also the atmosphere, environment, and even the construction of the audience's psychological comfort zone. Ingenuity is also included. These are the corresponding conditions for a perfect performance.”

It can be said to be soft power.

A performance needs to combine hard power and soft power, and cannot just rely on personal skills.

Many factors affect the distinction between spectators and referees.

Laplace thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but I still prefer Gulemo's performance."

Angel glanced at Laplace, and he could vaguely feel that Laplace's response at the moment was slightly more emotional than rational.

This is not to say that Laplace fell into an emotional state.

But in this duel, Laplace may have been too familiar with Luigi's performance, and there was not much freshness in seeing Luigi's performance.

On the other hand, Laplace had seen Gulemo's music for the first time, from its style to its performance. On the contrary, it can arouse her emotions even more.

Angel had seen too many musical performances, especially during the year when he took the Bauhinia to Fan Continent. His daily entertainment on the ship was to watch various movies and performances on the holographic tablet. Among them, he has not seen more than 100,000, but tens of thousands of large-scale concerts on Earth.

Therefore, after seeing more, he can evaluate more rationally.

But then again, Gulemo's performance is indeed outstanding. If Gulemo was like Luigi and had several days of preparation time, his performance would definitely be more exciting than Luigi's.

Even if it is a temporary performance now, in Angel's opinion, it is not inferior to Luigi.

Angel thought for a while, nodded and said, "I also like Gulemo's performance."

…

The perspective returns to the copy.

Mulloy stood in the center of the courtyard, his hands hanging down.

"I have notes in both hands now. The left hand represents the results of the first round, and the right hand represents the results of the second round." Mulloy looked at Luigi and Gulemo: "Which round do you plan to watch first? "

Gulemo said: "Let Luigi decide, he is the challenger."

Mulloy looked at Luigi, and Luigi didn't shirk. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to Mulloy's right hand: "Let's take a look at the results of the second round first."

The reason why I chose the second round of results first.

The main reason is that the second round involves mutual evaluation. Luigi wanted to see what Gulemo's general evaluation of his performance of "Hymn to the Galaxy" was.

Mulloy glanced at Gulemo.

Gulemo nodded noncommittally: "Listen to him, let's start the second round first."

Both opponents decided to start the second round first, and Mulloy naturally complied with their wishes. Raise your right hand in front of your chest and spread your hand.

There are three pieces of paper in his hand, representing the two duels and the comments given by the witnesses.

Mulloy took out a piece of paper and opened it slowly.

After taking a look at the content on the note, Mulloy smiled slightly: "This note records Luigi's evaluation of The Lady Selling Camellias."

Gulemo glanced at Luigi, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he gestured to Mulloy: "Read it, I also want to know what Luigi thinks of my music."

Mulloy smiled and read Luigi's comments word for word.

"Without the experience of bitter cold, one cannot play the humbleness of the people at the bottom. This is a piece of calm music, but the power it contains is more majestic than the deafening music."

"That's Luigi's evaluation."

Although there aren't many words of praise, a lot of music doesn't need praise. As long as you understand the meaning of the music, that's the greatest respect for the performer.

There's no doubt that Luigi not only understood the music, he also gave a very high evaluation.

"As for the score." Mulloy looked at the bottom of the note: "Luigi gave 5 points to "The Woman Selling Camellias."

The scores of the Star Climbing Showdown are all on a 5-point scale.

Luigi gave 5 points, which means he gave Gulemo a full score.

When Gulemo heard that he got a full score, he just looked at Luigi deeply and didn't plan to say anything.

Mulloy took the initiative to point to Gulemo: "Do you have anything to say about this evaluation and the score?"

Luigi also pricked up his ears and looked at Gulemo curiously.

Gulemo didn't plan to speak, but since Mulloy asked, he didn't refuse, and said lightly: "This is what I deserve."

This is not Gulemo's arrogance, but he has absolute confidence in his performance.

You're welcome.

Luigi raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Mulloy obviously knew something about Guillermo's character, and smiled and said, "It's good to be confident, but I don't know how you would rate Luigi?"

Guillermo just sneered and said nothing.

Mulloy did not ask any more questions, but opened the second note. However, he closed it slowly after opening it: "This note is my evaluation, and I will reveal it at the end. Let's first look at Guillermo's score for Luigi."

Mulloy picked up the last note in his right hand. There was no doubt that this was Guillermo's comment on Luigi's performance of "Ode to the Galaxy".

Mulloy opened the note and read it out without hesitation: "I like it, especially the excerpt from "The Woman Selling Camellias" that he added temporarily, which makes this piece of music quite ingenious."

"However, I still want to remind you. In this duel, you added this excerpt, which is ingenious; but if you perform this piece of music in other places and also add the excerpt from "The Woman Selling Camellias", it will be very inconsistent."

In fact, everyone present can understand what Gulemo said.

Luigi's use of the current situation to point out the topic is very deliberate. Because everyone present is in the "present", they can understand what Luigi means.

But if it is performed in other time and space environments, it would be a big failure.

For example, people who are alone in a foreign land can see homesickness when looking at the moon; but for a family that is already reunited, looking at the moon will only see sweet moon cakes.

The same bright moon can be expressed differently in different time and space environments.

Since everyone present understands this, why does Gulemo point it out specifically?

The reason is very simple.

Gulemoy recognized the little ingenuity created by Luigi.

It doesn't matter whether the people present recognize it or not, what matters is that Gulemoy recognizes it.

If he doesn't recognize this ingenuity, and directly says that the added excerpt does not match the original song, no one will refute it. Because there is indeed a discord.

Then as long as Gulemoy holds on to this point, Luigi will definitely lose this duel.

But now that Gulemoy recognizes Luigi's ingenuity, there is no need to consider the issue of "discord or not", but to include the ingenuity in the evaluation.

From this, it can also be seen that Gulemoy is very generous and tolerant in his attitude towards art.

He will not take advantage of loopholes because of winning or losing.

Good is good, bad is bad. This is Gulemoy's character, direct and clear.

Mulloy: "It's not over yet, Gulemoy's evaluation of "Ode to the Galaxy" has a few more paragraphs... I will continue to read."

The next few minutes were all Mulloy's muttering.

What he was talking about was Gulemo's analysis of "Ode to the Galaxy" from various dimensions, with both praise and shortcomings.

He even pointed out some of Luigi's technical shortcomings.

This is no longer a mutual evaluation, but more like a kind of guidance.

And it is a selfless guidance.

After listening to it, Luigi will not be annoyed by the criticism. Because the shortcomings pointed out by Gulemo are indeed his problems.

And many problems Luigi himself did not find. If Gulemo had not pointed them out, he would probably make the same mistakes in the future.

It can be said that Gulemo's comments have really benefited Luigi a lot.

After all, Luigi usually lives in the Daylight Mirror Realm and has little contact with such world-class artists.

After Muloy finished reading Gulemo's evaluation, Luigi took a deep breath, touched his chest and bowed to Gulemo to express his gratitude.

Gulemo just nodded faintly, as if accepting Luigi's thanks.

Finally, it was the final scoring stage.

"Guilemo's rating for "Ode to the Galaxy"..." Muloy looked at the number at the bottom, and his mouth curled up slightly: "Interesting."

Interesting? Not only Luigi, but also Angel and others outside the copy were curious.

Somewhat confused, why Muloy said that.

Could it be that Guilemo gave a low score?

In the eyes of everyone's curiosity and expectation, Muloy whispered a number: "5 points, Guilemo's rating for "Ode to the Galaxy" is also 5 points!"

In other words, Guilemo and Luigi gave each other the highest score without discussion.

Luigi looked at Guilemo with some surprise.

Before, when Gulemo pointed out the shortcomings of his performance in the evaluation, Luigi had already accepted that Gulemo might not give him a high score.

But unexpectedly, Gulemo actually gave full marks? !

This was somewhat unexpected by Luigi.

So are the shortcomings Gulemo pointed out in his review just now really just a guide, rather than deliberately trying to score points?

Mulloy looked at Luigi: "Are you surprised?"

Luigi: "...It's a bit, because my interpretation is indeed as Mr. Gulemo said, there are big shortcomings. I thought..."

Luigi said nothing, but everyone understood what he meant.

Mulloy turned to look at Gulemo: "Can you tell me why you gave this score?"

Gulemo moved his lips and said after a while: "He deserves this."

It's still so arrogant, but this time the pronoun is different.

Mulloy: "Is that all there is to it?"

Gulemo thought for a while, then turned to look at Luigi: "I wasn't originally going to give you a 5-point score, but after I listened to "Hymn of the Galaxy", I decided to give you a 5-point score. It's not just your performance. Brilliant, most importantly, because you did it on your own.”

Gulemo spoke cryptically, but Luigi knew what he meant.

The previous "Thirty-two Winds" and "Shengting Garden" both relied on the skills of graceful flower language, which can be regarded as external forces.

Although Luigi personally feels that external forces are also part of his own strength; but if we really look into it, it is indeed a bit unfair.

On the other hand, it’s not that Gulemo cannot accept external forces, he just feels that Luigi wants to obtain the “Star of Green” and external forces cannot be the key to his victory.

When Luigi used "Hymn of the Galaxy" to show his strength and ingenuity, Gulemo was delighted.

He saw art reaching its peak without the help of external forces.

Even though there are still some flaws, it doesn't matter. Nothing can be absolutely perfect, and the same goes for art.

Therefore, this time Gulemo stayed true to his inner feelings and gave Luigi a perfect score of 5.

This is a kind of recognition that comes from Gulemo’s heart.

After being stunned for two seconds, Luigi said softly: "Thank you."

Gulemo's eyes flashed with approval, and he didn't speak any more, but looked at Mulloy.

He was also curious. As the former conductor of the Imperial Music Orchestra, how would Mulloy evaluate their music?

Faced with Gulemo's curiosity, Mulloy did not immediately come to a conclusion, but looked at the other person present.
