"How should I put it? A flawless performance will allow you, Mr. Lin Tian, to pass the art exam."
"But I think your ambitions should go beyond this, right?"
Gao Zhenyang said.
“.”
indeed.
For Lin Tian, he himself is a person who pursues perfection in learning.
During his three years of high school, Lin Tian’s academic performance has always been among the best.
In the eyes of all teachers and classmates, he is the representative of talent and hard work, and a perfect student in everyone's eyes.
Lin Tian is so strong.
Since I have chosen the path of art, I must do my best! How can a man who is so good at academics be content to be a mediocre student in the art class?
"What should I do?"
"Like I just said, your current ability is only enough to pass the art exam, but the top students in the annual unified exam often need a little bit of spirituality, something that can impress the teacher."
Gao Zhenyang switched to the mode of an art exam teacher and changed his address. He began to explain to Lin Tian seriously,
"Teacher Lin Tian, what you lack now is this thing, something that can impress the art exam teachers."
Lin Tian's current performance can be described in simple terms:
It's just too regular.
Perhaps, as a professional piano accompanist responsible for coordinating with the cello, it is already quite good for him to be able to do this.
However, as an art exam candidate, Lin Tian completed a piece of music independently with a humble attitude.
Lin Tian’s current results are unsatisfactory.
"Teacher Lin Tian, I can see that although your piano skills are superb, you still lack some understanding of the art exam."
"Art exams are not as easy as they seem. Qingjiang is a province with a large number of art exams. Many surprising music talents are born every year. The degree of internal competition is beyond imagination. The difficulty of Zhonghua Conservatory of Music, as the best music university in the country, is even greater."
Gao Zhenyang stretched out his hand and described vividly, "Perhaps the opponent you thought of was an ordinary art student who went to high school, studied hard for three years, and hurriedly participated in the competition."
"But in fact, among last year's art exam candidates, there were several music geniuses who had joined the Zhonghua Music Association when they were minors, as well as several domestic entertainment stars with amazing fame, and a group of small internet celebrities with fans on short video platforms."
Although the official will never admit it, it will give advantages to these candidates with backgrounds.
But in fact, there have been quite a few scandals exposed over the years.
For example, last year, a Douyin influencer with millions of fans was taking the art exam at the Capital Film Academy.
He openly introduced himself and gave his name.
This is completely cheating in art exams which strictly require anonymous examinations.
Moreover, while other candidates were wearing special examination clothes as required, she was wearing clothes she had DIYed herself.
If that's the case, then so be it.
At most, we can just turn a blind eye and let it go.
But it is said that the professional level of this internet celebrity is ridiculously poor, and the examination process is completely an eyesore.
And just like that. In the end, she ranked 26th in the country.
26th in the country, what a humorous ranking.
In the end, other candidates at the scene felt that this was unfair and exposed the incident on TikTok, which happened to become a hit.
Under pressure from overwhelming public opinion, the Capital Film Academy announced that it would "thoroughly investigate the matter" and revoked the internet celebrity's admission qualification.
Even an internet celebrity is like this.
Is it strange that a big star gets a job without taking any exam?
What, you are not convinced? This is what Gao Zhenyang wanted to tell Lin Tian.
Art exams are not that simple.
His opponents, in addition to musical geniuses from all over the country, also include all kinds of fake people that he could never imagine.
Gao Zhenyang didn't want Lin Tian to think of any folk remedies.
But, since you are going to do it, then strive for excellence!
The only thing we can do is to do our best! "Teacher Gan Yanyu's playing method is indeed worth learning."
What Gao Zhenyang is talking about here is nothing else but Gan Yanyu's ability to "resonate with the author's soul."
As of now, Gan Yanyu's ability is very terrifying.
The only side effect is the impact on the person's mental state, but when it is exerted, it will cause indiscriminate killing.
"Her ability to completely immerse herself in music allows her to easily interpret the music from any angle using her own understanding," Gao Zhenyang added.
“How am I going to learn this?”
Lin Tian was stunned.
He had known about Gan Yanyu's ability for a long time, but had never studied it systematically.
I don’t know if it’s a stereotype.
Because Gan Yanyu always gave him a feeling.
That is, only extremely mentally abnormal people can do this.
"Actually, I don't know how to do that either."
Gao Zhenyang spread his hands.
"???"
"If I had this ability, I wouldn't be a university teacher here."
Gao Zhenyang smiled self-deprecatingly.
Thinking back to when they first met, he was also defeated by the talents of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.
Now when talking about this topic again, he has become calm.
"However, I can help you research it. I think that since you have an excellent example like Teacher Gan Yanyu by your side, you don't need to study other methods. Just try to see if you can imitate it."
“For example, take this piece of music.”
Gao Zhenyang said this and gently pressed the piano keys.
“Boom——”
"Irving's Concerto No. 6 in C major."
Gao Zhenyang played for a while and let Lin Tian take over.
As he held Lin Tian's hand and played, he said, "This piece of music is very cheerful, right?"
"Um."
"When you play, try not to have the score in your mind. Start from Alvin's story, put yourself in the musician's perspective, and think about what you would like to express in this piece if you were the composer."
Lin Tian closed his eyes.
Enter into meditation.
In this joyful piano music.
What did he discover? Beneath the joy, there seemed to be a hint of nostalgia and sadness.
It expresses a theme more like "lost happiness".
This great musician -
What kind of person is Alvin? Soldiers, be angry!
Soldiers, shout! Give us your hearts! Lin Tian suddenly woke up.
Damn! It’s a mess!!
"How's it going? Did you feel anything?"
Gao Zhenyang asked excitedly.
"It's very immersive, I feel like a monkey is throwing stones at me."
"???"
"So, Mr. Gao, are you sure this will work?"
Lin Tian asked with some doubt.
"I can't say that I was trying it with you just now."
Good job.
It turns out that Gao Zhenyang was not teaching me.
Instead, he is doing scientific research with me!
The theme is: "How does Gan Yanyu achieve 100% immersion in her performance and why we need to learn from her"
"I'd better go home and think about it."
Lin Tian stood up from his chair.
"Thank you, Mr. Gao. I'll come again next week."
There are only two weeks left until the art exam.
Lin Tian also gradually felt that his studies seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
He did well in other subjects.
But when it comes to instrumental performance, Lin Tian always feels that he still has a long way to go.
It's like his Emerald level piano skills.
It seems that I have mastered all of them.
When I actually played on my own, the solo ability I showed was not as good as that of [Silver].
This doesn't make sense.
Therefore, he thought of looking for Gao Zhenyang.
After all, he is a teacher from the music conservatory and can indeed provide a lot of help in the art exam.
Just learning Gan Yanyu was something Lin Tian had not expected.
Is it possible.
Lin Tian resorted to self-abuse because he just couldn't resonate with Gan Yanyu in music no matter what.
That guy is a big devil.
If he really had that ability, would Lin Tian still be here?
When it comes to putting oneself in the composer's perspective and feeling the music from its source, Lin Tian feels powerless.
If an action movie were played, especially one featuring Ms. Momonogi Kana, maybe Lin Tian could really do it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
For example, just hearing a cry.
Lin Tian can immerse himself in the situation and analyze which part of Miss Taozi is being penetrated, how deep it is, and what posture it is in.
And, infer what the plot is at the moment, the target is the boss, colleagues, brother's creditor, or husband's bald brother? This is the confidence that experience brings to Lin Tian!
If Gan Yanyu is the great devil of art, then Lin Tian is the great devil of art films.
It’s a pity that music schools don’t test this.
However, speaking of imitating Gan Yanyu, there is one most outrageous thing, which Lin Tian just overlooked.
You know, from Gan Yanyu's perspective, Lin Tian is the author of the music! However, she is not putting herself in Lin Tian's perspective, and can forcibly recreate "a lonely soul" and talk to him.
You can imagine.
If I hadn’t made up an excuse like “inspiration from a dream”.
From Gan Yanyu's perspective, she probably has 18 personalities.
Every time she played, she would have a conversation with one of Lin Tian's personalities, and gradually achieved the achievement of "Collecting all of Lin Tian's personalities".
Lin Tian took a deep breath and returned to the piano.
He just didn't believe that Gan Yanyu could do it, but he couldn't do it! At the same time.
In a house in the same location in the apartment building directly opposite the home of the boy playing the piano.
The messy living room.
Gan Yanyu was barefoot, with disheveled hair, stepping on sheets of music scores.
Play the cello.
As the extremely deep piano sound rang out.
The girl closed her eyes and let the sweat seep from her forehead.
“.”
Two minutes later, Gan Yanyu put down the bow.
Looking at the Cello Concerto in E Minor in front of me, I sighed.
Still doesn't work.
Recalling the conversation I had with my parents that day.
Gan Yanyu was feeling a little depressed.
I don’t know why, after leaving Lin Tian.
My own performance never goes smoothly.
Especially on this piece.
Once she started playing, her mind would flash back to the day of the competition when she would walk onto the stage alone, facing the audience, with her heart in a turmoil.
Could it be that I really can't live without Lin Tian?
If this goes on, how can I catch up with Lin Tian?
He should have practiced the three minor exercises almost completely by now, but I am still holding him back.
I have to practice more and practice more. Gan Yanyu was thinking this when her cell phone suddenly rang.
The girl picked up her phone, and on it was a message from Lin Tian.
[I ordered a pudding takeaway. Stop practicing and come over to rest.]
“Ding Dong——”
As the door opened.
Gan Yanyu was playing with her fingers, standing outside the door with her head down. She was so small.
"Come in."
Looking at Gan Yanyu, whose face was full of fatigue, Lin Tian didn't say much.
When I walked into the living room, I saw the dessert box already placed on the table.
The girl's face finally looked much more energetic. She sat on the chair and opened the box.
Lin Tianze stood aside, watching silently.
“.”
Yes.
His study plan still failed.
Lin Tian now suddenly felt that it was possible that Gan Yanyu's method was not suitable for him.
After all, Lin Tian has never been a very serious person.
He's the type who surfs the internet and loves to make jokes from hell.
The teacher was getting angry at the table and he was trying to hold back his laughter at the table.
The weirder the atmosphere, the easier it is for him to lose control.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to learn Gan Yanyu's immersive performance.
First of all, he couldn't be as pure as Gan Yanyu.
Gan Yanyu is very special. She has a cold personality, stable emotions, a stubborn mind and is not in good mental health.
Trying to imitate the thinking of a psychopath is itself quite psychotic.
“.”
For a moment, both of them were silent.
One is preparing for the art exam, and the other is preparing for the competition.
But they all fell into different predicaments, and Lin Tian probably felt it personally.
In the past, double rowing, although there were difficulties, was basically within the acceptable range.
Now, after playing solo and leaving the opponent, even Lin Tian has become a little autistic.
But, this may be the "pain" that they have to face.
Having just separated, this kind of pain is inevitable.
If we can't even get through this level, what's the point of talking about the Longqin Cup and the World Championship?
“.”
"When does the Star Cup start?"
Realizing that staying quiet wasn't a solution, Lin Tian opened his mouth and asked.
"Next Sunday." Gan Yanyu said.
"Where have you gotten to?"
"I"
Gan Yanyu played with her hair, thought for a moment, and said softly, "It didn't achieve the expected effect."
"What do you think is the reason?"
The girl's pupils trembled slightly. "Maybe it's because I'm alone and I feel a little nervous."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Tian stopped Gan Yanyu and was stunned for a moment. "So, you have actually learned it, but you just didn't play it the way you wanted?"
"Um."
"I'm stuck on instrumental music right now."
Lin Tian said.
“Stuck on instrumental music?”
Gan Yanyu found it a little unbelievable.
She didn't quite believe that Lin Tian would fail in his performance.
"Not really. The main reason is that I set too high standards for myself."
Lin Tian did not try to save face, he spoke the truth.
Then he clapped his fists.
That's just a coincidence! It just so happens that the two of them are stuck in the same place.
So why don't we play together now? (End of this chapter)
