Backstage, the first person to perform on stage was a boy, and he was ready.

He was holding his own violin, his palms sweaty.

No matter what kind of competition it is, the first and the last one always suffer.

The first one to perform had no comparison with the previous ones, so his score was either too low or too high, but most of the time it was too high.

There were about twenty people participating in the exhibition match, many of whom knew each other.

These people had either met at various competitions or before the competitions, and almost all of them were familiar to each other. Among so many people, only Qin Ran looked striking and unfamiliar.

The twenty or so people who participated in the exhibition match were sure that they had never seen Qin Ran. After all, if they had seen someone like her, they would definitely have an impression of her.

"Are you here to participate in the exhibition match as well, No. 17?" The voice was very sweet.

Qin Ran raised her head.

She saw a short-haired girl looking at her sideways. She had a pair of black and bright eyes and a baby face. She was not particularly pretty, and the expression on her face was not as natural as Lin Siran's. The number plate on her waist was six.

...

...

Qin Ran glanced at her and said "hmm" in a very cold tone.

She has always been used to being cold, and everyone around her knows this well.

But her baby-faced face must have been used to being admired by others, and she didn’t expect to be treated so coldly. Her sweetly smiling face broke for a moment.

The baby-faced girl pursed her lips and smiled again: "My name is Tian Yiyun, what's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"

“Qin Ran, you weren’t here before.” Qin Ran reached out and pushed down the cap on her head.

Qin Ran?

The baby-faced girl narrowed her eyes. She had never heard of this name. She had never heard of this person's name in this assessment. Tian Yiyun didn't waste time. Besides, Qin Ran was so cold, so she just smiled casually and said nothing more.

Instead, he walked towards the entrance and waited for boy number one to come out and inquire about his situation.

Qin Ran discovered that after Tian Yiyun left, the gaze that had been looking at her vaguely just now disappeared.

Others were also gradually moving away from this area.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly and casually withdrew her gaze.

"You said you were the first person to remain calm when hearing Tian Yiyun's name." She pulled her cap down and heard a voice next to her ear.

Qin Ran glanced sideways and the first thing she saw was a head of lazy curly hair.

The other person pulled out the stool next to her and sat down, looking at her with his head tilted. The other person was very good-looking and seemed a little charming, and the number plate on her waist was number twelve.

“Oh.” Qin Ran leaned back in her chair and raised her eyebrows.

"My name is Tian Xiaoxiao." Tian Xiaoxiao was very interested in Qin Ran. She propped her chin up with her hand and looked at Qin Ran. She also told her some gossip. "Tian Yiyun made a great debut in the first exam. Most people guessed that she should be Dai Ran's next apprentice and Qin Yu's junior sister. As for Qin Yu... you will know who she is when you enter the association."

"Look at the others, who doesn't want to have a good relationship with Tian Yiyun?" Tian Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and smiled, "Because they all know that if they have a good relationship with Tian Yiyun, they will have a high chance of seeing Teacher Dai Ran when they practice in the association. If they are lucky, they can even get guidance from Teacher Dai Ran."

Who wouldn’t want to climb higher when joining a violin association?

Some people lack talent, but if they work for some big guys for a long time, they might be able to play a minor role in future performances of the Royal Theatre.

There were about twenty people participating in the exhibition match, divided into two groups. One group consisted of very few people, lone rangers like Qin Ran, and the other group was centered around Tian Yiyun.

After hearing what Tian Xiaoxiao said, Qin Ran said "Oh" and pressed the brim of her hat again without much reaction.

It seemed that she had no interest in Tian Yiyun at all. Tian Xiaoxiao smiled.

**

Performance stage.

The first boy finished his performance.

His technique is average, but his musical sense and emotion are good and he is quite talented. There was not much discussion among the seven teachers.

Most people gave it between 60 and 80 points.

When it was Wen Yin's turn, he gave it 50 points and failed.

As long as more than half of the people are present, they can pass, so the first boy got the pass card.

The other six teachers looked at each other's scores, and the first teacher couldn't help but look at Wen Yin: "Dean Wen, is 50 points too low?"

Thousands of people sign up for the Beijing Violin Association every year. After going through layers of screening, those who finally get here are all very talented.

With the exception of a few, few teachers will give a failing grade.

Wen Yin frowned, "He can do better."

"After all, these people have not received systematic teaching from the association, so they cannot be compared with formal students." A teacher couldn't help but smile when he heard Wen Yin's words, thinking that Wen Yin was asking too much of this group of new students.

However, Wen Yin was often the one who followed Master Wei. He was used to listening to Master Wei, so it was understandable that he was harsh on ordinary students.

So after the five Wen Yins were all given failing grades, these people became calm.

It was not until the sixth player, the one they had chosen as the best player, came on stage that several teachers sat up straight at the same time.

In the second row, Cheng Mu felt a little drowsy after the first violin performance.

Lu Zhaoying sat in the second seat. He didn't usually watch performances, but since he could play the piano, he didn't find the violin so boring.

Moreover, those who were selected to participate in the final performance of the Violin Association were not simple. At least in terms of skills and emotions, they were better than Lu Zhaoying in playing the piano.

Lu Zhaoying also found it interesting.

After the sixth one finished, Lu Zhaoying couldn't help but look at Cheng Juan: "This girl's performance is several levels better than the previous ones. Director Wen should have passed her this time, right?"

The other six teachers basically scored around 90 points. From the first game to now, Tian Yiyun got the highest score, and Wen Yin did give it.

but……

60 points, not more, not less, just passing.

On the performance stage, when Tian Yiyun saw Wen Yin's 60 points, her expression did not change. She smiled, bent over with her violin in her hand, and said that she would do her best.

When Tian Yiyun arrived backstage, she was surrounded by others and asked about her situation.

"Director Wen only gave me 60 points." Tian Yiyun took out her scorecard and spoke with disappointment.

"Oh my god, Director Wen actually gave you a pass?" When the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at Tian Yiyun with envy: "I thought he was just a violinist without emotions. He failed all the previous competitions!"

**

“This Director Wen is so strict. If he were a piano teacher and I played the piano in front of him, would he kick me out?” Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but touch his nose.

Cheng Juan put his hands on the armrests, looked at it casually, and said nothing.

The next series of people came on stage, and except for number nine, Wen Yin didn't give it to anyone.

Number nine, like number six, only has 60 points.

The other teachers' high standards for Wen Yin have already been met, and because the most anticipated contestant No. 6 has passed, the other teachers are not so particularly looking forward to the remaining contestants.

"Contestant No. 12 has talent, but lacks skills." The seven teachers gave Tian Xiaoxiao a score of 70 or 80, which is not outstanding.

"She filled in an artist on her profile?" One of the teachers frowned. These teachers are very serious about the violin. Most of the artists come to the association to add a glamorous resume and personality behind them.

However, the other party's overall level reached the standards of the students, and the teachers did not make things difficult for him.

The further you go, the lower the scores will be.

In the end, among the seven teachers who gave equal scores, there were almost no students who scored 90 points.

“Let me see how many more there are.” A teacher stood up and stretched her legs. “The next one is number 17, Qin Ran. Let her come up.”

Wen Yin immediately sat up straight and looked towards the stands with a serious expression.

If other teachers had paid attention, they would have definitely noticed the change in Wen Yin's expression.

In the second row, Cheng Mu was also awakened by Lu Zhaoying's slap: "Wake up, it's Qin Xiaoran's turn!"

Cheng Mu did it in a daze.

Cheng Juan's expression did not change, he just stared towards the stage without blinking.

The lights around the stage went out, leaving only a single spotlight.

The weather in Beijing is hot, so she is still wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans today, and the baseball cap was left backstage.

The long fingers hold the bow.

"Support it——"

When the first musical note appeared, all the teachers in the first row who were looking at Qin Ran's information sheet raised their heads.

When Qin Ran put her heart and soul into something, she was naturally very serious. She stood very straight, and her thin figure blended perfectly with the violin and the music.

The bow danced on the strings, and the sonorous notes seemed to blend with the blood on the battlefield! ? Glissando, overtones, and other intermediate and advanced techniques are basically mastered by students in the association, but no one has integrated them so perfectly!

The standard is too high! She didn't use many techniques, unlike contestant No. 6 who used all the fingerings and techniques she knew in one hand.

There aren't many skills, which is a pity.

But what does this little flaw matter? !

Nothing! !

Several teachers couldn't help but stand up, their hearts surging with the music!

Even Cheng Mu, who had been drowsy, couldn't help but sit up straight and look in Qin Ran's direction with shining eyes. At this moment, he could only want to find Cheng Huo and the others with great vigor and fight with them one by one!

Cheng Juan watched carefully.

This is the terrifying thing about the talented players that Master Wei has chosen.

The five-minute pen show was over, but everyone present was still immersed in the torrent that had just occurred.

“Who is this Qin Ran? How come I’ve never heard of her before?” Several teachers’ faces flushed with excitement.

"This shouldn't be the case. There are students like this who have signed up. I shouldn't have not heard of this!"

"Has it reached level five?"

The six teachers discussed with each other for a while, then turned their heads to look at Wen Yin, and suddenly remembered what Wen Yin said before the show started.

"Teacher Wen Yin, this is..."

Wen Yin also took a deep breath. He was different from other teachers. He had never heard Qin Ran perform live, but he had seen Qin Ran's video at Master Wei's place.

Her talent on the violin is beyond reproach.

But Wen Yin was worried about the same thing as Master Wei, that is, Qin Ran was too superficial. She learned everything too easily, and such a person would easily go astray.

But today, Wen Yin finally knew that Master Wei still wanted to choose Qin Ran. This person's stage performance was almost invincible.

If you can hold on...

Wen Yin felt that soon there would be another "Master Wei" in China who could give a solo concert at the Royal Concert Hall of Continent M.

He paused for a moment, then looked at the teachers behind him and smiled, "Teachers, please give us your grades."

He lowered his head and wrote down his score on the scoreboard.

Several teachers looked at each other and were very confused.

How to score this?

According to their understanding, there were no deductions for this exhibition match, but a full score... had never happened since the association was founded.

Time is limited and they don't have time to think too much.

The group hurriedly wrote down the scores.

"Oh my god, Qin Xiaoran plays the violin so well, right?! No wonder Master Wei has been following her for so many years." In the second row, Lu Zhaoying finally suppressed his excitement and looked at Cheng Juan: "Master Juan, how many points will these seven teachers give Qin Xiaoran? Is it possible for all 90 points?"

These teachers will definitely not let this group of students go smoothly when they join the club.

Even Tian Yiyun, who had the highest average score, only got scores above 90 from three teachers, scores above 80 from three teachers, and 60 from Wen Yin.

Cheng Juan didn't look away, but just raised his chin, "Of course."

A group of people were talking.

Several teachers have already announced their scores.

The first teacher follows his heart, 100.

95.

98.

95.

95.

95.

Although the other teachers did not dare to give 100 points due to the rules, all the scores above 95 were an affirmation of Qin Ran. This was an unprecedented event.

Everyone is paying attention to Wen Yin's score.

Wen Yin wrote very quickly. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly showed his writing board.

0.

WTF?

Not to mention Lu Zhaoying, even the other teachers felt that Wen Yin was going too far!

Number 6 and number 9 both got passing marks!

Even if you don't give number 17 90 points, you would at least give it 80 points, right? !

Wen Yin didn't say anything, but just looked at Qin Ran: "I hope that in two months, you can get the score in my hand."

Qin Ran went backstage.

While waiting for performer No. 18, the other six teachers couldn't help but speak up and looked at Wen Yin: "Director Wen, you are too harsh on your students. As for performer No. 17, only Qin Yu can compare to her among the current students..."

Wen Yin glanced at them: "Is it harsh?"

The other six teachers: “…” Isn’t this too harsh?

Wen Yin could only pick up the next piece of information. He really didn’t think it was harsh. The other six teachers were comparing Qin Ran with the students of the Beijing Association. Compared to them, Qin Ran was indeed outstanding, but Master Wei also had requirements for Qin Ran...

Now Qin Ran has clearly reached the level of Level 5.

Master Wei's requirement for Qin Ran is to reach level six within one summer vacation!

Therefore, Wen Yin would give Qin Ran the final score based on what level she could reach after the summer vacation!

Compared with the students in the association? Master Wei never meant that!

After all, they are not on the same level.

From the very beginning, he had listed Qin Ran among the group of geniuses who formed the Continent M International Violin Organization.

Compared to those talented people who have been training since childhood and are willing to work hard, Qin Ran, who has almost no systematic training and has not touched the violin for a long time, is really just "0".

However, Wen Yin did not explain these to anyone.

**

Qin Ran's final average score was 82.57.

The scores of other teachers were very high, but Wen Yin's zero score lowered her average score.

You can basically leave after the performance, and Tian Xiaoxiao left more than half an hour ago.

However, Tian Yiyun's group did not leave.

The information on the stage cannot be seen backstage.

Qin Ran's expression when she came out was similar to the one when she went in. She didn't show any excitement at all. It was obvious that she wasn't doing very well.

Plus, I had never heard of the name "Qin Ran" before.

Tian Yiyun and others didn't pay too much attention.

Qin Ran took the baseball cap that she had placed on her seat and walked out the door.

At the gate, Cheng Juan, Lu Zhaoying and others also came out. Lu Zhaoying was still complaining to Cheng Juan about why Wen Yin was such a person.

He originally thought that Wen Yin would give Qin Ran full marks!

Cheng Juan leaned against the wall, a cigarette between his teeth and a cell phone in his hand, seemingly talking to someone, but he didn't say much, just responded nonchalantly.

It was not until he saw Qin Ran coming out not far away that he stood up slightly and looked in her direction. His eyebrows were filled with a faint smile, reflecting the sunlight above his head, which was particularly warm, as if covered by a layer of smoke. Because of the reflection, it was difficult to see his expression clearly, and he could only feel his gaze.

Qin Ran is like a treasure to everyone. The deeper they get to know each other, the more surprises they will discover.

Cheng Juan threw the cigarette into the trash can beside him when he saw Qin Ran. He smiled calmly and said, "Let's go."

Then he reached out and coldly hung up the phone.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Qin Ran felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. She coughed and changed the subject.

Cheng Juan glanced at her and slowly put the cap in her hand on her head: "My sister wants to treat us to a meal, are you going?"

In order not to get stuck with you, I have finished writing the violin. The two chapters are almost together, and this chapter is nearly 5,000 words, so there will be no three updates~

Good night~
