Chapter 166: Brave Yan Yu, charge forward! (4K)

"They say Qingjiang is a province with a strong musical background, but I don't think it's that great."

“Although it’s a preliminary round, some of the pianists don’t even have the basic skills!”

On the judges' panel.

The two judges sitting near the middle frowned and made sharp comments.

Both of them were around 40 years old. One was a university professor with a scholarly background named He Shumo. He wore glasses and looked gentle.

The other one, a pianist named Yao Han, speaks more directly and boldly.

There are a total of three specially invited judges from the Capital Flower Growing and Music Association for 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, the judges may not necessarily be better than those from 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 did not even reach the level of evaluation of "expressiveness" and "emotion". They could not even "play the complete music score without making any mistakes".

It is hard to imagine that this is the highest level of competition represented by Qinjiang.

"I think Qingjiang is overestimated just because of Senior Gan Hua."

After watching for a while, Yao Han gradually lost interest. He leaned back in the chair and spoke in a frivolous tone.

Of course, these are all discussions “behind closed doors” and will not be recorded by any reporters or cameras, so the speeches will be a little bolder than in front of the camera.

He Shumo, who was standing by, adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Although it's too early to draw such a conclusion, it seems to be the case at the moment."

“Is that so?”

Yao Han tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"To be honest, most people can't even get 'C grade' in my position! Just playing at this level, I almost fall asleep."

While Yao Han continued to talk.

His eyes were also always on Tuoba Jianhui beside him.

“.”

The old man frowned slightly, stared at the stage, and still said nothing.

The terrifying aura emanating from it made Yao Han, who was sitting next to him, shudder.

On the surface, Yao Han kept complaining and saying unpleasant things.

A big part of the reason was to vent the anger on behalf of Teacher Tuoba.

If Yao Han didn't do this, the moment Teacher Tuoba opened his mouth to speak, the entire stage would probably be ruined!

“.”

"Oh, the next one is, Bai Xi."

Just then, He Shumo looked at the form in his hand and made a surprised sound.

"I remember he was the runner-up in the last competition? He also won the Star Cup championship some time ago?" Yao Han confirmed.

"right."

"23 years old, that's interesting."

Yao Han lay on the chair in the judges' seat, looking at the information in his hand, but still said conservatively,

"To be honest, after watching this one-hour match, let's just take it easy."

Yao Han smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

When the overall strength is not high, the local champion will indeed make people have a question: "When there are no heroes, the young ones will become famous."

As the lights gathered, Bai Xi, dressed in red, walked towards the stage with graceful steps.

The moment Bai Xi stepped onto the stage, there were some sparse discussions and some small cheers from the audience behind him.

This situation is the first time it has occurred since the start of the competition.

This made Yao Han turn his head curiously 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, liking 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 didn't like He Shumo.

Dead pretend.

Everyone is honored at a young age, but he is the only one who has a stern face and pretends to be a scholar every day.

In fact, I just like to pay attention to some good-looking young female pianists. Every time I sit in the guest seat, I feel sleepy when others are playing, but when I see a good-looking one, I stare at it more attentively than anyone else.

"No, if I really admired her appearance, I wouldn't be so calm."

He Shumo said, "Look at her body movements when she walked onto the stage. They were all planned. She also kept her eyes on the camera's position, wanting to show her best side to the camera."

"To be able to pay so much attention to one's appearance in such a competition would be impossible without absolute confidence in one's own music."

"Okay, okay."

Yao Han waved his hands, really not wanting to listen any more.

Who would seriously say "I won't be so calm"? It's really too deliberate.

Maybe I’m already secretly giving scores in my heart?

However, this "Bai Xi" is indeed a contestant with quite good looks so far in the competition.

Every gesture and movement exudes a charm.

Not like a cellist, more like a dancer.

As for why Yao Han was always concerned about Bai Xi's appearance instead of the cello, after watching the performance of the cello players from Qingjiang Province for an hour, he really couldn't muster up any interest.

Bai Xi sat down in the center of the stage.

After a simple sound check.

Pulling the strings -

The passionate piano music, like a ferocious beast, broke through the cage and pounced towards all the audience below the stage!

0 frames to start! Yao Han quickly sat up and looked through the information in his hand.

【Good at: modern and pop music. 】

The music played was actually pop music!

At this moment, this song was playing on the stage.

——Title: "The Incredible Overture".

Created at the end of the last century, it is a majestic and passionate piece of music.

With Bai Xi's performance, accompanied by two percussion instruments, the sense of epicness suddenly comes to the fore!

".So strong."

For a moment, Yao Han couldn't help but put on a serious expression.

This song, "Incredible Overture", is more like the theme song of a game about killing monsters and upgrading your levels than real war music. In the epic part, it is full of design and deliberate feeling to create a grand sense of picture.

But such deliberateness has improved the public's listening experience of the song, and the emotions are easier for the audience to empathize with.

That’s the advantage of pop music!

Under Bai Xi's cello interpretation, the advantages of pop music were perfectly brought into play. Not only was it not dragged down by the cello, but it also presented a stage with shocking effects!

"I didn't expect that there would be such a player in Qingjiang Province," said He Shumo.

It seems that the remarks made by the Qingjiang pianist just now were indeed biased.

At the very least, people felt something different from Bai Xi.

“.”

As Bai Xi finished his performance, applause broke out in the venue.

The other judges at the judges' table nodded to each other and showed expressions of approval.

"23 years old, young and promising!"

“In terms of both his expressiveness and his understanding of the instrument, he is a top-notch cellist.”

"She is worthy of being the runner-up of the previous session. I felt that her level was as good as any other pianist back then, but she was too young and needed to grow up. She is 23 years old this year, which is the right age to become a champion!"

"Haha. It's a bad thing for a performance like this to go on stage too early. There are nearly a hundred contestants behind. Hey, after watching this performance, how can I watch the rest? It's probably going to be a bit difficult."

The old judges on the judges' panel were discussing enthusiastically. This was the first time the panel had been so lively since the start of the competition.

At this time, Yao Han also quickly glanced at Teacher Tuoba.

Thank God.

At this time, the old man's frown finally relaxed a little, and his expression became much calmer.

It seems that Bai Xi's performance was indeed recognized by Teacher Tuoba.

Although he still didn't say a word, it was already very difficult to make the teacher relax his brow!

In the lounge.

After Bai Xi stepped down, the place was plunged into unprecedentedly lively discussions.

Because today was only the preliminary round, the competition among the contestants was not very fierce. Therefore, after seeing Bai Xi's stunning performance, many pianists expressed their heartfelt admiration.

"As expected of Teacher Bai Xi, he is so amazing!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"When today's media rankings are updated, Teacher Bai Xi should be number one by a large margin!"

"Teacher Tuoba's expression has relaxed."

“.”

In the director's camera, Tuoba Jianhui's brows were relaxed.

Many of the younger cellists were so moved that they almost cried! Seeing Teacher Tuoba's expression of being about to get angry just now, the pressure on the cellists was about to explode!

In this state, going on stage is no different from going to the execution ground.

It was Bai Xi's song that made Teacher Tuoba feel much better, which relieved a lot of pressure on the contestants behind him, at least psychologically.

“.”

"How is it, Mr. Gan?"

This way.

Lin Tian tentatively asked Gan Yanyu about her mood.

"What?"

"What do you think after watching Bai Xi's performance?"

"I'm a little envious. I envy her confidence more than her skills."

Gan Yanyu smiled gently.

indeed.

Almost all the contestants in the Yingqin Cup know how confident Bai Xi is.

This is not just as simple as the fact that she repeatedly plays pop music in competitions, it can also be seen from the sound of her piano.

Moreover, even though they were not familiar with each other at all, it could be seen from the fact that Bai Xi would take the initiative to come to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu to say hello before every game.

This guy is simply a social terrorist.

In contrast to Bai Xi's self-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 result is, I will accept it calmly. I don't want to cause any more trouble to you, Lin Tian. At least on this stage, I will definitely perform the song in the best condition!"

“Is it okay even if there are so many audiences in the audience?”

"Um."

"Even if that old man sitting on the judges' panel is targeting you?"

"Um."

"Why?"

Lin Tian couldn't help laughing at Gan Yanyu's sudden change. He really felt a little at a loss.

"Maybe, I also feel that I can't go on like this."

Gan Yanyu's mind flashed back to what Pu Yidan said to her a few days ago when Le Yun was visiting.

It's hard to understand.

But, try to change your mindset.

If you think you “should do this”, then tell yourself “you can do this”.

She was not completely sure, but Gan Yanyu felt that she had to try!

Right in front of Teacher Tuoba! "Next, Teacher Gan Yanyu, please get ready!"

Following the staff's announcement, Gan Yanyu picked up the cello and the two stood up together.

Seeing the two people push open the door of the lounge and walk out, a burst of excited voices was immediately heard in the lounge.

"Great, it's Teacher Gan Yanyu!"

"Teacher Gan Yanyu is so amazing. After she finishes her performance, Teacher Tuoba will definitely be in a better mood!"

"However, in the previous online interview, didn't Mr. Tuoba dislike Mr. Gan Yanyu?"

"That's because he didn't watch Teacher Gan Yanyu's performance carefully! I was there during the Star Cup performance, and she is really, really good! She is definitely not inferior to Bai Xi."

At this time, all the pianists who were playing behind Gan Yanyu were secretly glad in their hearts when they saw Gan Yanyu come on stage.

If Bai Xi just put out the fire for Teacher Tuoba, then the appearance of Teacher Gan Yanyu will undoubtedly raise the atmosphere of the whole venue to a higher level!

This way, the people behind will be less nervous.

".Gan Yanyu? Gan Lao's granddaughter."

Yao Han looked at the information in his hand, thoughtfully.

Sudden--

“Oooooohhhh!!!”

There was a loud cheer from the audience behind him.

Yao Han almost fell off his chair, he quickly turned his head and looked towards the audience.

Many audience members stood up and clapped their hands until they turned red. Young people shouted at the top of their lungs, "What happened?"

Yao Han was confused.

If Bai Xi just now was a popular contestant, then this one was simply here to hold a concert!

Yao Han turned around and saw Gan Yanyu walking onto the stage in a black dress.

A stunning face...with no expression on it.

"It's really beautiful." Yao Han couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“Bang!”

There was a sound of slapping the table nearby.

"Fuck! So beautiful! Really so beautiful, like a work of art! I've never seen such a beautiful pianist!!" He Shumo exclaimed.

"."Yao Han believed it completely.

He admitted that he was too prejudiced against He Shumo, regarding the matter of "If I really thought she was pretty, I wouldn't be so calm."

"However, is this pianist any good? It seems that his aura is not as strong as I imagined."

Yao Han turned his head and looked at the two people on the stage.

Lin Tian sat in front of the piano.

The applause in my ears stopped at just the right moment.

It was so quiet all around that the only sound I could hear seemed to be the beating of my own heart.

He turned his head and looked at Gan Yanyu.

The girl was now methodically adjusting her sitting position and setting up the cello.

Her body blocked the light coming from the audience, making her body 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 bigger than before.
