Chapter 202: Summer

"summer" means summer.

When He Xiao read out the newspaper, everyone felt that things were not simple.

Because "Summer" is not a piano piece that exists in this world, it is obviously an original work by Red Face.

And the meaning of "summer" is very similar to the "Summer Variations" performed by the previous squirrel contestants, which is inevitably easy to think about.

After all, the squirrel had just finished performing a piano piece with a summer theme, and Redface performed another song with the same theme on his backhand, so even the most nervous person could see that Redface was competing with the squirrel.

The contestants and the judges were interested in seeing which of the two had a better "summer theme".

The squirrel who had just walked off the stage was also stunned, and looked at He Xiao slightly sideways, his pretty face under the mask was full of incredulity.

"What?"

Yin Miaozhi under the squirrel mask frowned slightly, not thinking clearly about his idol's operation at this time.

"Summer Variations" was arranged by the famous pianist Ms. Field herself, and the quality is absolutely not to be said, and he dares to play a piece of music of the same type in this case, which is a little too arrogant.

Even if He Xiao is her idol, it can't change her opinion at this time.

After all, she is not the kind of blind star chaser, unlike many brainless fans, she looks at celebrities rationally.

In other words, she really regards celebrities as idols and goals, hoping that one day she can reach the height of idols, or even surpass them.

This is also the most different thing between Yin Miaozhi and other star-chasing girls, she likes celebrities for thousands of reasons, but it will definitely not be her appearance.

He Xiao is an example, he has no height and no good looks, but he is talented, and this alone is better than all.

But at this time, what the idol did made Yin Miaozhi extremely incomprehensible.

The "Summer Variations" was personally arranged by the original author's spouse, Ms. Field, and is the pinnacle of the piano history in terms of melody, rhythm, and comprehension.

Idols are certainly talented, but compared to Field, they are a little inadequate.

This is a fact, Field's status and fame in the piano world are far behind He Xiao.

That is an honor that has been precipitated by time, and it is not comparable to a fledgling kid like He Xiao.

"No, I'm the one who got into the horns, except for me, no one else knows that this piece was adapted by Mr. Field, and it will only be regarded as my own work, so idols want to challenge it......"

After Yin Miaozhi thought about it for a while, he instantly figured out the truth.

She wondered why she couldn't understand her relationship with Field, so she made this reckless move of responding to the battle with a piano music with a summer theme.

But in fact, for He Xiao, it doesn't matter whether this piece is adapted by Field or not, it just suppresses it.

After all, "Summer", like the previous performance of "Castle in the Sky", is the work of the famous musician Jean Hisaishi in that parallel world.

Field, of course, is the best female pianist of the last century, but when it comes to comparing with Hisaishi, the music master, it is still slightly inferior.

……

Center of the stage.

Under the watchful eyes of all parties.

He Xiao put his hands on the black and white keys and finally began to dance.

A burst of leisurely and brisk melodies came out, which was very pleasant and unique, which made many people's eyes light up instantly, and the tense atmosphere in the field dissipated a lot.

"This prelude ......"

Several judges raised their heads slightly, and they all began to show heavy expressions.

A good piece of music, just a melody is enough to capture people's hearts.

At the moment, Hisaishi's "Summer" is undoubtedly a very audible light music.

The cheerful melody is so melody that you forget all your troubles in an instant.

Especially after twelve seconds, the moment the crisp piano sound sounds, the whole piece is sublimated to a new level.

It is like an invisible hand, pulling all the audience into a breezy early summer.

On the green mountain stream path, three or two farmers are working hard with their burdens and singing mountain songs, children are playing by the shallow water with their sleeves rolled, and unknown insects are buzzing in the grass......

Climb along the mountain road to a high place, find a green shade to cool off when you are tired, or sleep on the spot, wait for the gentle breeze to touch your feet, no longer pay attention to the busy work, and enjoy the current afternoon.

This is the romance that belongs to the summer.

Comfortable and free.

He Xiao's song "Summer" brought everyone into the longing for summer.

In fact, this song, which is the same as "Castle in the Sky", is the theme song of the movie.

In 1999, the film "Kikujiro's Summer" directed by the famous director Takeshi Kitano was released, the film was inspired by the life story of the director's father, and the whole film was funny and tearful, highlighting the summer warmth of men and children.

But to say that in the whole movie, the most memorable thing is not the ruffian uncle Kikujiro played by Takeshi Kitano, nor the little Shota Masao who is bent on finding his mother.

It is the famous summer-themed song "Summer" written by the master Jean Hisaishi.

The light and lively melody can instantly recall the movie "Kikujiro's Summer" almost as soon as it sounds.

Even if the listener has not seen this movie, they will feel extremely comfortable and comfortable, and the mood and artistic conception are substituted into a beautiful summer fantasy together.

Music is a window to the soul and opens a picture in people's minds.

"Summer" did just that, and as soon as it sounded, the entire live broadcast hall of the Paris Opera fell silent, and everyone closed their eyes and enjoyed this beautiful music that was very different from "Summer Variations".

"Idols are gods!"

Under the squirrel mask, the more Yin Miaozhi listened, the more frightened she became, she knew that He Xiao had strength, but she didn't expect to be so powerful.

This "Summer" is definitely on par with Ms. Field's "Summer Variations" after her adaptation.

Or rather...... And a little better!

Even Field, whose old cheeks couldn't help but show appreciation, stared at the stage as if he had discovered a new continent.

She is a pianist, so she naturally knows the quality of Hisaishi's "Summer".

It is definitely a famous song that can be passed down to future generations.

Field is eighty years old this year, and this advanced age makes it impossible for her to take care of many things on her own, except for the slightest sensitivity to music.

At the age of 80, her fingers are still nimble and she can play the piano and violin.

It can be said that since the death of her husband, her only love in the second half of her life is the art of music.

In his later years, he was even more full of cherishing talents, and when he saw a high-spirited young pianist, he remembered himself in his later years, and couldn't help but have the idea of carrying out.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing the talent again, she will teach carefully and pass on her experience herself.

At this time, the red-faced player on the stage once again made Field look right.

"What can be made......"

Mrs. Field exclaimed in her heart, and her eyes lit up as she looked at her red face.

He Xiao on the stage naturally didn't know these things, and everyone's reaction had nothing to do with him, all he had left was to play this song in front of him.

Compared with "Ghost Fire" in "Super Technique Etude", the difficulty of "Summer" is undoubtedly several times lower, and He Xiao naturally cannot make mistakes.

He played it smoothly all the way, and every rhythm was perfect, and everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste until the end of the piece.

He Xiao got up and bowed to the audience.

There was silence.

Everyone is still stuck in the picture of "Summer".

In front of the live broadcast screen, it is diametrically opposed to the situation on the spot, and all social software is boiling.

"Oh my God!

"Who said red-faced was going to overturn this game?"

"The squirrel is indeed very stable, but it is still a little inferior when it comes to red faces. ”

"Why do you all think 'Summer' sounds good? I think the squirrel is a little more appetizing!"

"Dude, what is your aesthetic?Although both songs are good, "Summer" is better!!"

“……”

Facebook, Twitter, these places are all hot.

Most of them praise "Summer", and people abroad always like to use some serious words to lament the beauty of things, unlike the Celestial Empire, where almost all the forums are "".

"Red-faced awesome!"

"The red face is too dick, this game!"

"It turns out that your uncle is still your uncle. ”

"I want to play this tune. ”

"The song "Summer" with a red face is so good, I want to use it as an advertisement for our infertility hospital......"

"How do I feel about squirrels and red faces?"

"Upstairs SB, those with long ears can hear that the red face is a little better!"

"Oh, then you're a cow, then you're a real cow. ”

"You gave me your flash. ”

“……”

From Weibo to Tieba, there are all kinds of comments, uneven, and even a small-scale scolding war broke out in some places because of whether they support red-faced or squirrels.

Speaking of which, redface is not only popular internationally, but also domestically.

Otherwise, it can't be more than ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and a group of people stay in front of the computer and climb over the wall to watch live videos.

Pictured, the Paris Opera.

After He Xiao bowed to the audience, the scene that had been quiet for a long time finally broke out into thunderous applause.

"What a great song to linger on!"

With an intoxicated look on his face, the presenter, Cammy, appears from the side and invites the squirrel back to the stage.

"Go ahead. ”

Seeming a little nervous at the sight of the squirrel, Grandma Field encouraged with a smile on her face next to her.

The squirrel was nervous because he was afraid of losing the game, losing Field's face, and ruining his reputation.

At this time, when he saw Field, he didn't say much, but was amiable, encouraging her, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Walking out of the audience, the squirrel returned to the main stage in two or three steps.

"Ask the judges to rate Redface's performance in this round first. ”

Cammy motioned for the squirrel to calm down, then read the cutscene lines and handed the camera to the judges.

Through the camera lens, it can be seen that many judges are whispering to each other at this time, as if discussing each other's opinions.

It's so hard to choose!

One is a world-famous song arranged by Ms. Field, a female pianist in the last century, and the other is the painstaking work of Master Hisaishi from parallel time and space.

Together, these two works are indistinguishable.

The judges selected by the ten colleges and universities all made a difficulty.

"If it's artistic, it's still red-faced. ”

Someone has their own opinion.

Everyone nodded their heads.

Although it is difficult to distinguish between the equals, there is no option of a draw in the Isabella Cup, and there is still a winner in the end.

Although Field is a famous teacher, she is still old after all, even if she adapts the world's best summer-themed piano music, but "Summer" was composed by Hisaishi at the peak of his time.

At that time, Hisaishi was at the peak of his life, whether it was musicality or creativity.

So "Summer" is a cut ahead!

"The red-faced contestants can bring us infinite surprises every time, compared to the sadness of "Castle in the Sky", I think the lightness of "Summer" is more in line with the taste of the current piano market, I am willing to give you a very good evaluation. ”

A female professor from the Toronto Conservatory of Music stroked her glasses and said in fluent English.

"Thank you, judges. He Xiao nodded in thanks.

The first ten points came out.

The subsequent ratings were also played one after another.

Most of them are tens, and occasionally nines.

And in this round, William gave an evaluation of eight points.

All of a sudden, it was a full two points less than a percentage.

He Xiao trembled in his heart when he heard it, so he didn't break out in a cold sweat.

At this stage of the competition, all the contestants have the strength to score more than 90 points, so every score of the judges is extremely important.

The appearance of an eight points is enough to make the overall score collapse.

So as soon as this eight points came out, He Xiao was really nervous.

But fortunately, there was only one judge left after William who did not score, and he gave a very good evaluation.

In addition to William's eight points, three judges gave nine points.

Without Cami calculating, everyone has already seen the total score of this round of Redface.

Ninety-five!

Just one point higher than a squirrel!

Narrowly win!

Listening to the thunderous applause from the audience, He Xiaoden breathed a sigh of relief.

William's eight really scared him.

If one more judge gives a score of nine, then the score of both sides will be level in this round, and there will be a round of overtime.

In overtime, the two contestants each perform a designated piece, although there is a score, there is no time to prepare, and it is all up to their personal level of sight-reading.

Now this ending is happy, He Xiao has revenge, glanced at the squirrel who was restless at this time, and was happy in his heart.

"It was a great game, and congratulations to the Squirrels for winning the quarterfinals. Cammy saw that the honest squirrel had lost the game, and he looked at the low mouth of the dog on the side, and asked, "Squirrel player, did you choose to uncover your face?"

After the squirrel was silent for a while, he glanced at Kami, changed his previous restrained style, and took off his mask directly with a cold gaze.

The jet-black hair was thrown in an arc in the air, and the smart and beautiful face was exposed to the camera, and the audience was suddenly shocked.

Cammy choked on a dead mouse in his throat and couldn't say a word.

The players in the audience were also collectively confused.

Waterfack?

Shouldn't a squirrel be an honest rough guy?

Why is it a cute girl!!

Are all the current cute girls so good at acting?

Just when everyone was collectively messy, Yin Miaozhi, who took off her mask, restored her nature as a little witch, and directly crossed Cami, who was holding the microphone and wanted to interview her, and came straight to He Xiao, her delicate lower lip bit slightly, her big eyes blinked at the red-faced mask, and she whispered softly.

", red-faced!"
