Tian Xiaoxiao wore a slightly formal dress today and held a violin in her hand.
The staff behind him immediately distributed Tian Xiaoxiao's information to the teachers who were going to grade the papers.
"Level three?" The only teacher from Mzhou sitting next to Mr. Eng couldn't help but speak out as soon as he flipped through the materials.
Level 3, and I’ve only been in the association for less than two months.
"Tian Xiaoxiao is Master Wei's disciple. She may have reached level four in just over two months." The speaker was a teacher from the Beijing Association who was on Dai Ran's side, making a subtle comment.
After all, everyone knows that it is too difficult to go from level three to level four in less than two months, especially since this student is not particularly outstanding in any aspect.
Hearing that he was Master Wei's apprentice, Mr. Engel was somewhat interested. He looked down at the information and was quite surprised: "Is it a piece of music he composed himself?"
Master Wei was also a little surprised. He originally thought that Qin Ran would be the only one who would play her own original piece this time, but he didn't expect that Tian Xiaoxiao would also have her own original piece.
There is a live broadcast recording outside.
Tian Yiyun, Qin Yu and others watched casually. Knowing that Tian Xiaoxiao was the only level three person there, most people didn't care.
...
...
Li Xue is also level three, but she is not participating in the competition. She just came here to accompany Tian Yiyun.
In addition to these teachers, the audience also included new students and other members of the violin association.
On the screen, Master Wei glanced at Tian Xiaoxiao and smiled: "Let's get started."
Tian Xiaoxiao bowed to all the teachers, then closed her eyes for a moment. The spotlight above her head suddenly became warmer, and Tian Xiaoxiao finally moved her hands!
The cheerful sound of the piano suddenly rose, cheerful and lively.
A pure and relaxing concerto, Tian Xiaoxiao felt like a fish in water in this violin performance.
She hasn't played the violin as long as Wang Zifeng, but she has mastered several difficult techniques to perfection!
Start with a continuous bow!
Rubbing the strings!
Short vibrato!
Her music is originally cheerful, and the addition of short vibrato gives her songs a vivid soul!
Several teachers, even Mr. Engel, couldn't help but look at Tian Xiaoxiao.
The music is good, can you show off your skills more?
But the next second——
Double string tremolo!
This is one of the more difficult techniques on the violin.
Tremolo is different from vibrato. It requires strength. It can be seen that Tian Xiaoxiao has mastered it very well.
The stunts are not that numerous or complicated, but the transitions are so beautiful, especially the aura in the original music is almost bursting out.
This is an auditory feast!
Less than five minutes into the music, thunderous applause broke out from the audience!
"My Tiantian Xiaoxiao has reached level 4, right?" "She must be level 4. I can't reach her level even at level 4!"
"Hasn't she only been in the association for two months?"
"See how many points the judges gave?"
The atmosphere on the scene instantly became high, and the students and other members sitting in the stands were discussing fiercely with each other.
Dai Ran didn't care at first, but now he can't say a word.
From level 3 to level 4 in two months? !
Master Wei looked at everyone very calmly and smiled: "Teachers, please give your scores."
One teacher gave 90 points, and the others were all around 80 points.
Both Master Wei and Mr. Eng gave 70 points for the first time ever.
The four people in front basically hovered around 70 or 80 points, and this was the first time someone scored 90 points!
Especially Master Wei and Mr. Eng gave 70 points.
Tian Xiaoxiao took the microphone, bowed and thanked the teachers, and finally said a thank you speech: "I am very grateful to my life mentor Master Wei, and to my group members Qin Ran and Wang Zifeng, especially my group member Qin Ran, who helped me compose the music..."
Master Wei kept talking about Qin Ran. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Go down now."
Tian Xiaoxiao finally said a few words of thanks with a lingering feeling before leaving with the microphone.
Just arrived backstage.
Then he saw Li Xue looking at him blankly.
Tian Xiaoxiao reached out and brushed her hair. She ignored her and looked at Qin Ran with a smile: “Teacher Qin, I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”
A few people who had no problems with Tian Xiaoxiao and the others came forward and asked, "Tian Xiaoxiao, you are amazing. You went from level three to level four in just two months?"
If it were an ordinary day, Tian Xiaoxiao would not bother to say these things.
But today, Tian Xiaoxiao slowly turned her sunglasses and smiled: "You all know that I am not very good at playing the violin. When I joined the association, I was at the bottom. I was able to reach level four in such a short time. To be honest, it is all thanks to my team member Qin Ran. It's all because of her..."
Qin Ran picked up the baseball cap beside her expressionlessly and put it on her head, pushing it down.
However, these words have a great impact on others.
The old members didn’t know, but the new members did. When Tian Xiaoxiao first came in, she was inconspicuous at all. She was indeed the most inconspicuous among the thirty new members.
There are a total of three new students who are above level three this year.
Two months later, these new students who were at level three were still at level three. However, Tian Xiaoxiao, who was weaker than them in the same batch, suddenly became level four, while they were still at level three! ?Their training rooms and other aspects were identical, except for one thing…
They don’t have a team member named Qin Ran…
This is only two months. If it takes longer, one or two years, what level will you reach? Level five or six? ?When Li Xue thought of this, her whole body trembled.
She knew she shouldn't think about it, but she couldn't help but look down at her hands.
Two months ago, it was these hands that pushed Qin Ran away.
She was a little out of control, and she said something to Tian Yiyun and went out. Tian Yiyun was also in an unstable state of mind, so she didn't pay any attention to her and just responded casually.
**
The sixth contestant finished his performance quickly.
The seventh person is Wang Zifeng.
He is also a very popular new member.
In the audience, the newcomers all knew that Qin Ran, Tian Xiaoxiao, and Wang Zifeng were a group.
Seeing him come on stage, the group of new students discussed in low voices.
"You said Tian Xiaoxiao has reached level 4, will Wang Zifeng reach level 5?"
"This...isn't possible?"
"Tian Xiaoxiao is fine for two months, what if Wang Zifeng is fine too?"
Of course, most of these people don't believe it.
The transition from level 3 to level 4 is different from the transition from level 4 to level 5.
As they were talking, Wang Zifeng had already started playing. Surprisingly, he was also playing one of his own pieces. Unlike Tian Xiaoxiao's, his style of music was thick and solemn.
It also starts with a continuous bow, and after a short whirlwind introduction, a warm and vigorous momentum bursts out!
He has been learning piano for more than ten years, and the techniques he uses are numerous and diverse!
Legato, staccato, continuous changing of position, glissando and even polyphonic double notes!
As the teacher's key observation object, most people know that two months ago, Wang Zifeng's chord changing was not particularly proficient, and he had never seen polyphonic double notes!
An auditory feast completely different from Tian Xiaoxiao's!
It's clearly the level of a fifth-level student!
Dai Ran looked at Wang Zifeng in confusion. Why hadn't he noticed this student before?
"Teachers, please give your grades." Master Wei was still the one who woke up the teachers.
This time there is no doubt that four scores were 90 points and one was 88 points, and the 88 points were given by Wen Yin.
Finally, Master Wei and Mr. Eng gave 75 points simultaneously.
Wang Zifeng took the piano and thanked all the teachers first, then began, "Thank you very much to my team member Qin Ran..."
Qin Ran in the backstage: “…” She lowered her cap again.
Seeing the score, the audience below couldn't help but murmur.
"This is only 75 points? How strict are Master Wei and the person from the Continent M Association?"
“Who can get them to 80 points?”
“I think it’s difficult.”
**
Soon, it was student No. 11's turn.
The staff at the back handed the information to the teacher.
Master Wei took it casually and took a look at it.
He had arranged for Qin Ran to play number 20, so he didn't care about the following exhibition match.
Until he saw the name of student No. 11 displayed on it——
Qin Ran.
Master Wei suddenly woke up.
"What's going on?" Master Wei tilted his head and asked the staff, "Is the order wrong?"
The staff member was stunned, "This is what the backstage gave me."
"Who was student No. 11 originally?" Master Wei said in a deep voice, "It's a mistake. Qin Ran is No. 20. Ask them to switch people.
Dai Ran flipped through the information and tilted his head: "Master Wei, No. 11 was originally Qin Yu. They should have changed it after negotiation. Since it's decided, let's leave it as it is."
He knew in his heart that Qin Yu must have done something behind the scenes.
"Change it." Master Wei handed the information to the staff.
Hearing this, Dai Ran's face turned bad, but since Mr. Engel and the others were there, Dai Ran lowered his voice and said, "Master Wei, you can't let your apprentice take all the good things!"
The last position will leave a deeper memory for Mr. Eng and his team.
