Chapter 166 Brave Yan Yu, Charge Forward! (4K)
"It is said that Qingjiang is a province with a strong musical background, but it seems that it is not that good."
"Although it is a preliminary round, some pianists do not even have basic skills!"
In the judges' seats.
The two judges sitting near the middle frowned and made sharp comments.
They are both about 40 years old. One is a university professor and a scholar. His name is He Shumo. He wears glasses and looks gentle.
The other is a pianist named Yao Han, who speaks more directly and boldly.
There are a total of three special judges from the Capital Flower Music Association in this Yingqin Cup.
In addition to the well-known international musician Tuoba Jianhui sitting in the C position, He Shumo and Yao Han are the other two.
Coming from the capital, they may not necessarily be higher than the local judges in Qingjiang, but because of their status, their words will be more referenced and paid attention to by media reporters and other judges.
The competition has been going on for an hour, and dozens of contestants have finished their performances.
But the overall performance of these dozens of contestants was obviously unsatisfactory in the eyes of the two. Many contestants were not even evaluated for "expressiveness" and "emotions". They could not even "play the complete score without mistakes".
It is hard to imagine that this is the highest level of competition in Qinjiang.
"I think Qingjiang only has a senior Gan Hua, which leads to the overestimation of the level?"
After watching for a while, Yao Han gradually lost interest. He leaned back in the chair and said in a frivolous tone.
Of course, such words are all "closed-door" discussions, which will not be recorded by any reporters or cameras, so the speech will be bolder than in front of the camera.
He Shumo, who was standing by, held up his glasses and said calmly:
"Although it is too early to draw such a conclusion, it seems to be the case at present."
"Is it right?"
Yao Han tapped the table with his fingers.
"To be honest, most people here are not even at 'C-level'! I almost fell asleep with this level of performance."
While Yao Han kept talking.
His eyes were also always on Tuoba Jianhui next to him.
"."
The old man frowned slightly, staring at the stage, still silent.
The terrifying aura exuded made Yao Han, who was sitting next to him, shudder.
On the surface, Yao Han kept complaining and saying ugly words.
A large part of the reason was to vent the anger "for" Teacher Tuoba.
If Yao Han didn't do this, the moment Teacher Tuoba opened his mouth to speak, I'm afraid the whole stage would be ruined!
"."
"Oh, the next one is Bai Xi."
At this moment, He Shumo looked at the form in his hand and made a surprised sound.
"I remember that he was the runner-up last time? He also won the Star Cup championship some time ago?" Yao Han confirmed.
"Yes."
"23 years old, interesting."
Yao Han lay on the chair of the judges' seat, looking at the information in his hand, but still said conservatively,
"To be honest, after watching this one-hour game, let's take it with a normal mind."
Yao Han smiled with a hint of ridicule.
In the case of low overall strength, the local champion does make people have a kind of question - "When there are no heroes, the young ones become famous."
As the lights gathered, Bai Xi, dressed in red, walked towards the stage with elegant steps.
At the moment Bai Xi took the stage, there were some sparse discussions and some small cheers from the audience behind him.
This situation is the first time since the game started.
This made Yao Han curiously turn his head and look at the audience.
"The aura is very strong."
He Shumo commented.
"Being pretty means having a strong aura, right?" Yao Han said with a smile,
"You are still the same as before, you like to pay attention to good-looking pianists."
Before the Yingqin Cup, the two had known each other when they participated in the offline activities of the Music Association.
At that time, Yao Han did not like He Shumo.
Pretending.
Everyone has been honored at a young age, but he pretends to be a scholar with a stern face every day.
In fact, he likes to pay attention to some young female pianists with good looks. Every time he sits in the guest seats, he will feel drowsy when others play, but when he sees a pretty one, he will stare more seriously than anyone else.
"No, if I really appreciate her appearance, I won't be so calm."
He Shumo said,
"Look at her body movements when she walked onto the stage, they were completely designed, and her eyes were always paying attention to the shooting position of the camera, wanting to show her better side to the camera."
"In such a competition, you can still pay so much attention to your appearance. You can't do it without absolute confidence in your music."
"Okay, okay."
Yao Han waved his hand, really didn't want to listen anymore.
Who would say "I won't be so calm" in a serious manner? It's really too deliberate.
Maybe he's already secretly scoring in his heart?
However, this "Bai Xi" is indeed a contestant with a pretty good appearance so far in the competition.
Every gesture exudes a sense of charm.
She doesn't look like a cellist, but more like a dancer.
As for why Yao Han always cares about Bai Xi's appearance instead of the cello
After watching the performance of the Qingjiang Province violinists for an hour just now, I really can't get interested.
Bai Xi sat down in the center of the stage.
After a brief sound check.
Pulled the strings——
The exciting sound of the piano, like a beast, breaks through the cage and pounces towards all the audience in the audience!
Start at 0 frames!
Yao Han quickly sat up and flipped through the information in his hand.
[Good at: modern and pop music. 】
The music played turned out to be pop music!
At this time, it was this song that sounded on the stage.
——It's called "The Incredible Prelude".
Created at the end of the last century, it is a majestic piece of passionate music.
Under Bai Xi's performance, paired with the accompaniment of two percussion instruments, the epic feeling suddenly hit your face!
".So strong."
For a moment, Yao Han couldn't help but put on a serious expression.
This "Incredible Overture" is more like the theme song of a certain monster-fighting and upgrading game than real war music. In the epic part, it is full of design and deliberate feeling, used to create a grand picture.
However, such deliberateness has improved the public listening experience of the music, and the emotion has made it easier for the audience to empathize.
This is the advantage of pop music!
Under Bai Xi's cello performance, the advantages of pop music were perfectly brought into play. Not only was it not dragged down by the cello, but it instead presented a stage with shocking effects!
"I didn't expect that there are such players in Qingjiang Province," He Shumo said.
It seems that what the two Qingjiang players said just now was indeed biased.
At the very least, people felt something different from Bai Xi.
"."
As Bai Xi's performance ended, there was a round of applause in the venue.
The other judges on the judges' bench nodded to each other and showed expressions of approval.
"23 years old, young and promising!"
"Whether it is expressiveness or understanding of the instrument, he is a top-notch cellist."
"She is worthy of being the runner-up in the last session. Back then, I felt that her level was not inferior to any other piano player, but she was too young and needed to settle down. At 23 years old this year, she is the age to look like a champion!"
"Haha. It's a bad thing that such a performance comes on stage too early. There are nearly a hundred contestants behind. Hey, after watching this performance, how should I watch the rest of it? It may be a bit difficult."
The old people at the judges' table were discussing enthusiastically. This was the first time that the judges' table had been so lively since the beginning of the competition.
At this time, Yao Han quickly glanced at Teacher Tuoba.
Thank God.
At this time, the old gentleman's frown finally relaxed a little, and his expression became much calmer.
It seems that Bai Xi's performance has indeed been approved by Teacher Tuoba.
Although he still didn't say a word, it was already very difficult to get the teacher to relax his brows!
In the lounge.
After Bai Xi stepped down, there was an unprecedented lively discussion here.
Because today is only the preliminary round, the competition between the players is not very big yet, so many piano players expressed more heartfelt admiration after seeing Bai Xi's shocking performance.
"As expected of Teacher Bai Xi, you are so awesome!"
"When today's media rankings are refreshed, Teacher Bai Xi should be ranked number one!"
"Teacher Tuoba's expression has softened."
"."
I saw Tuoba Jianhui’s brows relaxed in the director’s shot.
Many younger cellists were so moved that they almost cried!
Seeing Teacher Tuoba's vaguely angry look just now, the pressure on the piano players almost exploded!
In this state, there is almost no difference between being on the stage and being on the execution ground.
It was Bai Xi's song that made Teacher Tuoba feel a lot better. This relieved the great pressure on the players behind him, at least psychologically.
"."
"How's it going, Teacher Gan?"
This way.
Lin Tian tentatively asked Gan Yanyu about his mood.
"How about what?"
"What do you think after watching Bai Xi's performance?"
"I'm a little envious. I'm more envious of her confidence than her skills."
Gan Yanyu smiled softly.
indeed.
Almost all the Yingqin Cup players know how confident Bai Xi is.
This is not just as simple as playing pop music repeatedly in competitions, but it can also be seen in her music.
Moreover, despite being completely unfamiliar with them, it can be seen that Bai Xi would take the initiative to come to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu to say hello before every game.
This horse is simply a social terrorist.
Opposite to Bai Xi's confidence is Gan Yanyu's humility.
The two of them have completely opposite auras.
"But, it's okay."
Gan Yanyu said, "No matter what the outcome is, I will accept it calmly. I don't want to cause you any more trouble, Lin Tian. At least on this stage, I will definitely perform the music in my best condition!"
"Is it okay even if there are so many spectators in the audience?"
"Um."
"Even if the old contestant sitting in the judges' table targets you?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Lin Tian couldn't help laughing at Gan Yanyu's sudden change. He really felt a little at a loss.
"Perhaps, I myself feel that we can't go on like this."
Gan Yanyu's mind recalled what Pu Yidan said to Leyun a few days ago when she visited her.
It's hard to understand.
But, try changing your mindset.
If you think "you should do this", tell yourself "you can do this".
She wasn't completely sure, but Gan Yanyu felt that she had to give it a try!
Right in front of Teacher Tuoba!
"Next, Teacher Gan Yanyu, please be ready!"
As the staff announced, Gan Yanyu picked up the cello, and the two stood up together.
Seeing the two people pushing open the door of the lounge and walking out, a burst of excitement immediately came from the lounge.
"Great, it's Teacher Gan Yanyu!"
"Teacher Gan Yanyu is so amazing. After she plays, Teacher Tuoba will be in a better mood!"
"However, in the previous online interview, didn't Teacher Tuoba dislike Teacher Gan Yanyu?"
"That's because he hasn't watched Teacher Gan Yanyu's performance carefully! I was there during the Star Cup. She is really, really good! She will definitely not lose to Bai Xi."
At this time, all the piano players who were playing behind Gan Yanyu secretly rejoiced in their hearts after seeing Gan Yanyu come on the stage.
If Bai Xi put out the fire for Teacher Tuoba just now, then the appearance of Teacher Gan Yanyu will undoubtedly raise the atmosphere of the whole venue to a higher level!
In this way, the people behind you will be less nervous.
"Gan Yanyu? Mr. Gan's granddaughter."
Yao Han looked at the information in his hand, thoughtfully.
Sudden--
"Ooooh!!!"
There was a big cheer from the audience behind him.
Yao Han almost couldn't sit still in his chair. He quickly turned his head and looked at the audience.
Many spectators stood up, applauded vigorously, and clapped their palms red. Young people raised their voices and booed at the scene.
What happened? !
Yao Han looked confused.
If Bai Xi just now was a popular contestant, then this one is simply here to hold a concert!
Yao Han turned his head and saw Gan Yanyu already wearing a black dress and walking onto the stage.
A shocking face... expressionless.
"It's so beautiful." Yao Han couldn't help but said to himself.
"Crack!"
There was a sound of banging on the table from the side.
"Fuck! It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful, like a work of art! I've never seen such a beautiful piano player!!" He Shumo sighed.
"." Yao Han completely believed it.
He admitted that he was too prejudiced against He Shumo, regarding the matter of "if I really thought she was good-looking, I wouldn't be so calm".
"But, is this piano player okay? It seems that his aura is not as strong as expected."
Yao Han turned his head and stared at the two people on the stage.
Lin Tian sat in front of the piano.
The applause in my ears stopped just in time.
The surroundings were extremely silent, and the only thing that seemed to be heard in his ears was the thumping of his own heartbeat.
He turned his head and looked at Gan Yanyu.
The young girl was methodically adjusting her sitting posture and setting up the cello.
Her body blocked the light coming from under the stage, causing her body outline to be outlined with a golden edge.
Hazy and dreamy.
For some reason, Lin Tian suddenly had a feeling.
It seemed that Gan Yanyu's back seemed much larger than before.
