Chapter 122 0121, Stunning Skills
In the first round, Wang Zhengming faced Hong Chenyan.
In the second round, Tang Yu faced Jiang Yifan.
In the third round, Yunfeng faced Dong Dawei.
Wang Zhengming uses the flute.
Hong Chenyan naturally played the violin.
After the candidates for the match were determined, Wang Zhengming asked Dong Dawei: "How to choose the music? Also, who will play first and who will take over?"
Dong Dawei thought for a moment and replied: "Then just toss a coin. If you guess right or wrong, you can choose the song or the order of performance."
Wang Zhengming thought this was fair and nodded: "Okay."
A few minutes later.
With a "ding..." sound, the coin was thrown into the air. When it landed and stopped, it was face up.
Dong Dawei said with a smile: "You're welcome then, we choose to choose the music."
Wang Zhengming said: "Tell me, what song is it?"
Dong Dawei said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, we don't choose violin music, and you probably don't know it either. Teachers from our respective departments have explained this piece in class, Bohr's "Love on the Via River"."
Wang Zhengming's face changed slightly. This is a piano piece with a lot of ups and downs and a fast melody. If it is played with a flute, it requires extremely high breath control.
Dong Dawei said with a smile on his face: "Get ready."
Then, he patted Hong Chenyan on the shoulder and said, "Come on."
Hong Chenyan said confidently: "President, don't worry, we will take care of him in three short steps."
Tang Yu looked at the two people preparing in the middle of the practice room and asked Yunfeng in a low voice: "Who do you think will win?"
The dongxiao and suona, like the flute, are all wind instruments. Yunfeng naturally knows how difficult it is to use them to play this piece of music. He immediately said: "The violin has an advantage in playing this piece of music, and the people selected by their big violin club, His violin skills are definitely good, but if he makes variations during his performance, it’s hard to say whether Wang Zhengming’s flute can keep up.”
Tang Yu thought for a while, if he played this piece of music on the guqin, it would be very difficult. Seeing that the guqin playing had not started yet, he then asked: "Then... what if it was you who played this piece of music?"
Yunfeng smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think I can win?"
Tang Yu smiled sweetly and said, "Definitely."
Yunfeng smiled and said, "Do you believe me so much?"
Tang Yu nodded heavily. She had seen Yunfeng's flute-playing skills before, and she was amazed by the level of his skills.
Yunfeng still has some confidence.
After more than half a year of morning exercises, not only has my body become stronger, but my lung capacity has also improved.
Furthermore, the skill book he used was [Skill Dongxiao: Standing Out among the Crowd·Professional Level], which was only one step away from the palace-level Dongxiao skills.
"Woooo..."
Wang Zhengming, who was ready, played "Via River Love Song".
He chose to play first because he was worried that Hong Chenyan would play first and it might be difficult for him to keep up if you made changes and changes in tune from the beginning.
When Yun Feng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and whispered to Tang Yu: "Wang Zhengming chose to play first, but there was no variation or key change. He has already lost half the game."
Tang Yu nodded and thought so too.
Playing at the original speed and original key is the most basic level for learning an instrument. It is not about competing to see who can play the piece completely.
The people at the Grand Violin Club almost laughed out loud.
That's it?
It’s just to give points.
Hong Chenyan already had a victorious smile on his face.
A third of the way through the piece, he plays the violin.
At the beginning, he was just following Wang Zhengming's rhythm, but after a section, he suddenly made a change.
The other party took action.
Wang Zheng began to change his rhythm.
"Following."
"Okay, okay, just one beat too fast."
…
Both Li Zhengfu and Hu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Feng shook his head slightly, which was obviously done deliberately by Hong Chenyan.
"Buzzing..."
A bar later, Hong Chenyan performed another variation, faster.
"Woooo..."
Wang Zhengming continued to keep up with Hong Chenyan, but he could clearly feel that his breathing rate was much faster.
Yun Feng whispered in Tang Yu's ear: "Wang Zhengming probably won't be able to keep up with Hong Chenyan's next variation."
Tang Yu nodded and said: "He has been passively following Hong Chenyan's rhythm. If this doesn't work, he must take the initiative if he wants to win."
Sure enough, after another section, Wang Zhengming couldn't keep up with Hong Chenyan's rhythm and was finally defeated.
"YES!"
"It's easy!"
…
The people at the Grand Violin Club cheered.
At the Chinese National Musical Instrument Society, Li Zhengfu, Hu Ping, and another boy were all very frustrated.
Wang Zhengming came back, feeling shameless in front of others, and whispered: "I am not good at studying and I failed to score the first point."
The life and death of the club now rests in the hands of two new members who have been in the club for less than an hour.
He, the president of the Chinese National Musical Instrument Society, is...
Yunfeng consoled him: "Winning or losing is a common thing for a military officer. You just need to practice more."
Then, he squeezed Tang Yu's hand and said, "Come on."
Tang Yu nodded seriously.
Yunfeng helped her take the guqin out of the box.
On the other side, Li Zhengfu and Hu Ping moved the table to the middle of the practice room, and Wang Zhengming also brought a stool over.
Jiang Yifan, who will face Tang Yu, is also making preparations.
However, this time, Wang Zhengming guessed the wrong side of the coin again.
Dong Dawei said proudly: "When luck comes, it can't be stopped."
Wang Zhengming gritted his teeth and said: "Choose."
Dong Dawei said directly: "Let's choose the song, Fino's "Memory of the Sea."
"You..." Wang Zhengming was so angry that his teeth itched. Just like the "Via River Love Song" just now, it was a piano piece with a large melody ups and downs and a fast melody.
Tang Yu said indifferently: "Okay, let's go with this one."
She was very familiar with this song and had played it countless times, although... it was played on the piano.
Yunfeng suddenly looked up and glanced at Dong Dawei and Jiang Yifan with a smile in his eyes. Then, he whispered a few words to Tang Yu. After speaking, he looked up again and glanced at Dong Dawei and Jiang Yifan.
Psychological warfare is also one of the important means to win.
And the goal was achieved.
Dong Dawei and Jiang Yifan were both thinking at this time.
Why did he smile at us?
What did he say to Tang Yu?
Tang Yu said, "I will play after I choose. If you are ready, just start."
Dong Dawei also patted Jiang Yifan on the shoulder and said, "Come on."
Jiang Yifan nodded, a little nervous, because he was facing Tang Yu. He had heard the "Swordsman" played by Qin and Xiao before, and he kept thinking in his heart what Yunfeng's series of actions just now meant.
He clamped the violin, took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and after a moment, he played "Memory of the Sea".
Wang Zhengming and others were worried.
Yunfeng looked very calm.
He had confidence in Tang Yu.
Hong Chenyan played the violin well just now, but it was just good. Compared with Angelo from Italy who competed in Yanjing last time, it was not a little bit worse. This Jiang Yifan's level should be about the same as Hong Chenyan.
So, there is nothing to worry about.
When the song was played one-third of the way, Tang Yu's fingers plucked and the sound of the guqin sounded.
Jiang Yifan did the same as Wang Zhengming at the beginning, without any variation or change of tune. He wanted to see how Tang Yu played the guqin first, and then decide how to vary it.
After one measure, Tang Yu varied the music, and directly sped up to 1.5 times the speed, so fast that his fingers left afterimages.
"Oh my god..."
"So fast!"
...
Wang Zhengming and the others were stunned. This piece was already fast enough, and now it was increased to 1.5 times the speed.
Guqin has 200 beats per minute.
It's a bit scary.
Tang Yu is already very talented, and he has been practicing piano and guqin since he was a child. Even some professional pianists can't compare to him in terms of finger flexibility.
As his opponent, Jiang Yifan was shocked and sped up.
But...
At this moment, Tang Yu suddenly joined the strumming.
This is what Yunfeng had just whispered to Tang Yu.
Dong Dawei frowned and thought: It's broken!
Jiang Yifan was affected by the strong rhythm of the strumming, and he lost his composure and couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the main melody.
He was unwilling to accept it. He could reach 200 BPM, but he had no choice. He put down the bow and violin and said, "I lost."
Tang Yu stood up, smiled faintly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."
After that, he turned back and winked at Yunfeng playfully.
Yunfeng gave her a heart.
However, Tang Yu didn't understand what this gesture meant.
"Win!"
"Not so good..."
...
This time, it was the turn of the Chinese National Musical Instruments Society to cheer.
"Master, awesome!"
"Master, can I learn guqin from you?"
...
Li Zhengfu and Hu Ping were completely impressed by Tang Yu's superb guqin skills.
"Thank you." Wang Zhengming's palms were sweating just now. If he lost this game, he would be gone.
Tang Yu said modestly: "I have played this piece hundreds of times, so I am very familiar with it. If I change it to a piece I am not familiar with, the result may be different."
Yun Feng smiled slightly and said: "Have you forgotten what Senior Sister Tan Hui said about me? Excessive modesty equals pride."
At this time, the focus of the entire practice room was on Yun Feng and Dong Dawei.
