Ning Xiyuan's beautiful eyes were wide open.
As a top student in the composition department, she could immediately recognize that the densely packed musical notes on the white paper were piano sheet music.
Lin Rui composed the music so quickly that before she could even take a closer look, she noticed him casually toss down his pen and walk out of the office without looking back.
"Junior, wait a minute!"
Once she realized what was happening, Ning Xiyuan immediately chased after him.
"That's the composition department, junior, don't wander in."
Ning Xiyuan was both surprised and anxious when she saw Lin Rui rush into the composition department.
Although she had just started her internship in the composition department, she had already gotten a pretty good grasp of the personalities of these people.
In general, these composers appear kind on the surface, but are actually eccentric. Someone like Lin Rui, who acts recklessly, is bound to offend people.
"Junior, over here..."
Ning Xiyuan was still thinking about how to end the situation and appease the public anger for Lin Rui, but as soon as she entered the composition department, she found that the scene she had imagined did not appear at all.
On the contrary, a group of composers, whom she considered to be ambitious beyond measure, gathered outside the practice room, curiously peering inside.
What's going on here?
Ning Xiyuan was dumbfounded.
Before she could react, a very fast-paced melody came from the music room.
The melody is light and humorous, a style never before seen, which completely overturned her understanding of piano music!
She couldn't help but move closer.
Like everyone else, I closed my eyes slightly and used my ears and heart to appreciate the uniqueness of this piano piece.
The more she listened, the more alarmed she became.
Admittedly, the music was not beautiful; it lacked both captivating melodies and emotionally resonant qualities.
However, it brings an unparalleled visual experience!
It felt as if I were in a green forest, with countless bees fluttering their wings around me.
The imagery was so vivid that Ning Xiyuan couldn't help but have an idea.
— Finding a different path!
Soon, the music stopped.
"Old Zhong, how's it going?"
"to be honest?"
"Do you expect me to spout nonsense?"
Chen Duoduo looked displeased.
"Then I'll really tell you."
Zhong Hanli tapped his fingers lightly: "I think this piece has neither musicality nor emotional expression."
"Old Zhong, the young man played really well! Were you even listening?"
Chen Duoduo raised questions.
Suddenly, Uncle Qiao's face turned serious.
"No, we're all wrong."
"They focused on the melody but neglected the rhythm."
Because Lin Rui kept his back to everyone the whole time, and he had a professional habit of closing his eyes whenever he heard a melody.
Therefore, they overlooked a lot of crucial information.
For example, hand speed.
Since they were all musicians, they quickly realized the key point.
Just then, Lin Rui began playing the piece for the second time.
Holy crap!
"That hand speed is incredible!"
"The young man is handsome, and he's even more handsome when he plays the piano."
Lin Rui's slender fingers were seen moving across the black and white keys at an astonishing speed.
Many skilled pianists were present, and they were all stunned by the speed at which Lin Rui displayed his hands.
Of all those people, Ning Xiyuan was the most surprised.
Looking at the ten fingers appearing in layers on the black and white keys, and listening to the humorous yet elegant melody, Ning Xiyuan felt a sense of unreality.
Is he that good at playing the piano?
It seems that even those piano masters who have graced the Golden Hall of Xiazhou in my memory might not have such hand speed, right?
incredible!
How did he train?
Without twenty or thirty years of hard work, how could one acquire this skill?
But he'll only be a junior next semester!
She's only twenty!
genius?
Or perhaps, perverted?
Under Ning Xiyuan's puzzled gaze, Lin Rui stopped playing.
He ignored the people around him, and walked to the window with a thoughtful expression, contemplating life.
"I'll give it a try."
Lu Ye volunteered to sit at the piano.
Everyone present possesses musical skills; the only difference lies in the length of their practice.
But in terms of hand speed and skill, apart from Lin Rui, Lu Ye should be the strongest in the game.
Considering that this was a virtuoso piano piece, Lu Ye was naturally eager to try it.
Soon, following the sheet music, they began to perform freely.
"Stop! Lu Ye, you stop right now!"
"This piece is called Flight of the Bumblebee. Listen to what you're playing. It's so bad it could cure my epilepsy."
"It feels like countless flies are buzzing around my grandma, it's so annoying!"
Seeing Chen Duoduo wrinkling her little nose and looking disgusted, Lu Ye had no choice but to get up reluctantly.
Clearly, he also realized that he seemed to have gone astray in his choice of flying species.
No!
That's not just biased, it's outrageous!
Uncle Qiao picked up the sheet music and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "The piece is not very difficult. The melody itself is quite repetitive. The only thing to pay attention to is the continuous and dense semitone transitions."
"Did you hear that? Uncle Qiao said the piece isn't difficult, but look at the awful way you played it, it's completely devoid of beauty."
Chen Duoduo looked at Lu Ye with even more disdain.
"Duoduo, you really can't blame Lu Ye."
Zhong Hanli said thoughtfully, "Since it is a piece that shows off virtuosity, it must have a focus, and this piece, Flight of the Bumblebee, emphasizes speed."
"Of course, speed alone is not enough to encompass its characteristics."
"When playing the whole piece, you have to ensure both speed and accuracy."
"Take Lu Ye for example. His hand speed is not bad, but he lacks flexibility. He often makes mistakes when he is busy with one thing and another, which causes the tone to become mixed up."
"So it sounds like headless flies scurrying around, without any of the beauty of bees flying around."
"Why does that young man play so well?"
Chen Duoduo was somewhat unconvinced.
"This is related to practice level. Perhaps because Xiao Rui plays frequently, his muscles have developed a lot of memory, which helps him avoid wrong notes and swallowed notes during the playing process."
Uncle Qiao's explanation sounded reasonable, but someone cautiously said, "The song was just written by my junior."
Seeing that everyone present was looking over, Ning Xiyuan became a little nervous: "I was right next to him at the time. He snatched my paper and pen and kept writing and drawing on the paper as if he was possessed."
"I've been in that state too, where inspiration suddenly strikes and you become completely absorbed in it..."
Ning Xiyuan spoke softer and softer as she noticed that many people's expressions changed repeatedly.
The state Ning Xiyuan described was something they had all experienced, and more than once or twice.
They couldn't help but glance at Lin Rui, who was frowning and deep in thought by the window, and they believed him.
At this moment, everyone's faces showed disbelief.
A newly composed piece of music has no practice to speak of, let alone muscle memory.
How can you maintain such a terrifying hand speed while avoiding a large number of wrong sounds and swallowed sounds throughout the entire process?
This is terrifying to think about!
At that moment, Lin Rui suddenly realized something.
He sat back down in his chair, and his long, slender fingers began to dance wildly across the piano keys.
Wow, so fast!
It's even faster than before!
Uncle Qiao, Lu Ye, and the others stared in shock at Lin Rui and the ten fingers rapidly scrolling across the black and white keys.
"The imagery is so vivid; I keep seeing a swarm of bees approaching from afar in my mind."
"His control over the dynamics of the tone is simply impeccable!"
"Incredible! The notes were played with perfect accuracy, highlighting every melody word for word. It had a strong penetrating power, yet it didn't feel stiff at all."
After expressing his feelings, Lu Ye stood next to Lin Rui and stared intently at the sheet music in front of him.
"I have some doubts about whether Lin Rui's hand speed has reached the human limit."
"What's even more terrifying is that he didn't make a single wrong sound at the extreme speed of his hand, which is outrageous."
Chen Duoduo even took out her phone and pointed the camera at Lin Rui's ten slender fingers.
She wanted to record this highlight moment completely.
On the other hand, Ning Xiyuan was completely stunned by Lin Rui's amazing performance, and her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Rui.
