Chapter 250 Competition



"Teacher Erxi, I will call you Teacher. Of the three people you have chosen, I am not as good as the other two in piano skills, but this one..."

She pointed at Tu Nian with a look of disdain on her face. "Everyone can play 'A Duck in Paris'. Besides, a performance requires a lot of musical theory, harmony, and arrangement. There's no way we can use this old-fashioned electronic piano."

"So, what exactly is the exquisiteness of her piano skills? Can you tell us about it?"

Bo Qiu's expression was calm, and he simply asked, "She's better than you, what's there to say?"

When Tu Nian heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and there was a complex emotion in her eyes when she looked at Bo Qiu.

"you!"

Su Youzhi felt very uncomfortable because of Bo Qiu's blockage, and the finger that was pointing at him in frustration was shaking constantly.

With nowhere to vent her anger, she turned her attention back to Tu Nian: "I finally understand. You're definitely going to take this backdoor today, right? Fine, I can't afford to offend you, so let the public see what kind of people their favorite producers and singers are like in private!"

After saying that, she took out her cell phone and was about to upload the video she had just recorded to the Internet.

But before she could open the album, her hand was grabbed in the air by a strong force, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get free.

The person who grabbed her hand was none other than Tu Nian, whom she had pointed at and scolded.

"It's not that troublesome. If you don't accept me, just have a fight with me." Tu Nian looked straight into Su Youzhi's eyes.

"Let me go, let me go!" Su Youzhi was still struggling.

In her eyes, Tu Nian was just a backdoor villain, not qualified to compete with her at all. "Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"

Tu Nian was very calm, but a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

Although she didn't want to argue with others about these meaningless things, she also didn't like others pointing fingers at her and making a scene. The hand that was clamping Su Youzhi suddenly exerted force secretly, making Su Youzhi scream in pain.

After a while, Su Youzhi readily agreed, "I'll compete, I'll compete, just let go!"

Seeing her agree, Tu Nian immediately released her wrist, took out a hair tie from his pocket, and gathered her long black hair: "If you win, you go to the show, and if I win, you just shut up."

After saying that, she raised her chin towards Bo Qiu as if asking for his opinion.

Bo Qiu raised his eyebrows: "I agree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhan secretly tugged at Bo Qiu's clothes.

Bo Qiu acted as if he hadn't noticed and calmly sat back at the interview table. "If you have any objections to this interview, feel free to read it before leaving. If you don't have any objections, you can go home now..."

After a pause, Bo Qiu added, "Of course, if you want to watch the fun, feel free to do so."

How could anyone want to miss such a good show?

After hearing what Bo Qiu said, everyone sat back down, regardless of whether they passed the interview or not, leaving only Su Youzhi and Tu Nian standing on either side of the room.

"Since you said my song and instrument selections are unconvincing, then I'll use this one," Tu Nian said, walking over to the electronic synthesizer, stroking the rows of keys he knew so well. "As for the music, I'll use the performance repertoire. You can choose the specific song, how about that?"

The room was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the people watching the show suddenly became interested.

Tu Nian must have some confidence to say this. In this case, today's show is probably unprecedentedly good!

Not only them, Su Youzhi also realized that this unknown woman in front of her might not be as useless as she imagined.

But in such a tense atmosphere, she was ultimately in a difficult position. No matter what the outcome was, she had to accept all the declarations of war in order to maintain her domineering attitude just now.

Su Youzhi snorted coldly and walked over to Tu Nian. Although she was not as tall as Tu Nian, she was not inferior to him in momentum. "Just as you said! We will each play a song of "Old Stranger". The main melody cannot be changed. There are no restrictions on the harmony. It all depends on your strength. I'll go first!"

After that, Su Youzhi sat down in front of the piano, tried playing a few notes, and then began to play. Tu Nian, who was squeezed aside, didn't get angry. She leaned over and listened to the song "Old Stranger".

Su Youzhi is worthy of being born into a musical family. As soon as she heard the sound of the piano, you could tell that she had great skills.

She played the main melody very smoothly, and the harmony part was very consistent with the main melody in terms of both the chosen timbre and rhythm.

If it weren't for Tu Nian's incident, the position of the third keyboard player would definitely have belonged to her.

Perhaps it was the pressure of the competition, but this song, "Old Stranger," was even more captivating than the one she had played during the interview. When the song ended, the room erupted in applause, and everyone murmured that while Su Youzhi might be overbearing and domineering, his musical prowess was also superior.

Although Miss Tu is very confident, I'm afraid she will find it difficult to compete with her.

Knowing that she had performed exceptionally well, Su Youzhi proudly stopped herself and said, "It's your turn." She took the initiative to make way for him, and glanced at Tu Nian who was clapping beside her, with an expression of complete confidence of victory on her face.

Tu Nian stopped clapping and sat down slowly.

During the test, she inadvertently glanced sideways at the two people at the interview table. Luo Zhan's eyes were filled with unspoken worry, but when she looked into Bo Qiu's, she saw a confidence that was no less than her own.

This confidence is given to her.

Tu Nian suddenly withdrew his gaze, composed himself, and began to play.

Tu Nian's hands kept moving on the piano keys, telling the whole song.

There is no doubt that the main melody is "Lao Mo", which is full of regrets for old friends and reluctance to leave.

Different from Su Youzhi's harmony from beginning to end, in the first ten seconds, Tu Nian's playing technique, which was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes close and sometimes distant, fully expressed the emotions in the song with only the main melody.

The real harmony part begins in the chorus of the first verse. The addition of the whistle adds a touch of nostalgia to the song, and then slowly the sound of the piano and the subtle sound of rain join in.

In Tu Nian's performance, the addition and fading of each tone are just right.

The interplay of these tones and the main melody makes this piece transcend itself.

Those notes are like scenes, telling the layers of bitterness of missing and reunion in "Old Stranger".

Su Youzhi bit her lower lip hard, and the red lip that she had kept so tender and beautiful was almost bitten to the point of bleeding.

She didn't even need to look at the intoxicated faces in the room to know that in terms of piano skills, she was far inferior to Tu Nian. And all she could do now was to pray that Tu Nian would make a mistake in the second half of the song.
