Chapter Twenty-Nine: On the List
Yang Jingxing still had to rush to the melody writing test, and Zhang Chujia also urged: "Hurry up, I'm hungry." ”
Yu Xinting handed the manuscript to Yang Jingxing and asked, "Do you still want this?"
Hu Yiqing was ready to pick it up: "I'll help you hold it." ”
Yu Xinting shrank back again: "Can I keep it?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Xie Lu Xie, finally someone appreciates it." ”
Ninety minutes of melodic writing. The motive and rhythmic patterns are specified, and it is also required to write two monophonic instrumental melodies with different characteristics and styles. Yang Jingxing was targeted for training, but he still took it seriously for more than an hour and wrote two good ones.
After the exam, it was one o'clock, not only Zhang Chujia, but also Hu Yiqing was hungry, and the three of them had lunch together. Zhang Chujia asked Yang Jingxing what he wrote, but Hu Yiqing said: "Forget if you pass the exam, prepare well for the afternoon." ”
The afternoon was three hours of songwriting, with the lyrics specified, similar to the kind of singing praises to the motherland. It seems that many people have big heads, and Yang Jingxing also has to think about it. It is said that there are seventy or eighty people who are admitted to the composition department this year, but only ten of them are admitted at the end, and the reality is really cruel.
In the evening, Li Yingzhen had a treat. Tell Yang Jingxing in advance that Yu Xinting has already entered the retest. Yang Jingxing didn't tell Yu Xinting, he didn't even know if he could enter the retest.
The efficiency of the conservatory is still quite high, and the preliminary results will be released on the morning of the 19th. Yang Jingxing stayed in the hotel last night, and received a call from Yu Xinting at eight o'clock in the morning: "I'm over, I'm over, I'm in the retest!" The laughter in the words is really uncomfortable.
Yang Jingxing was angry: "Wow, I won't even ask me to go alone!"
Yu Xinting hehe: "I got up early and came quietly alone, waiting at seven o'clock." I've passed. ”
Yang Jingxing struck: "There is also a retest, don't be too happy." ”
Yu Xinting grinned happily: "If I didn't pass the retest, I wouldn't hate myself." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Look at other people's. ”
Yu Xinting was silent for a while: "I don't want to see it, I'm happy first...... I'll go see yours...... Take a look, take a look...... Over there...... Why don't you have your name, I'll read it again...... Not really!"
It's not that Yang Jingxing is confident, it's really that Yu Xinting's lying skills haven't arrived home. Yang Jingxing said: "That must be a mistake, I'll settle accounts with them." ”
"Ha Luha, lie to you, you've passed, second place! I'm only the second-to-last. Yu Xinting's voice has always been so loud, unlike yesterday, when she said everything like a mosquito.
Yang Jingxing asked, "Your hands don't hurt anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. If it weren't for paying you back, I would have liked to reward myself. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, you pay me back, I'll treat myself, and I'll take you with me by the way." ”
"Good, good!" Yu Xinting strongly agreed.
Yang Jingxing went to the Conservatory of Music to meet Yu Xinting, and on the way to inform his parents, teachers and friends, that he had tried it for the first time. This is all expected, and they are not as happy as Yu Xinting.
At the entrance of the Conservatory of Music, Yu Xinting saw Yang Jingxing from afar, and both of them laughed. Yu Xinting jumped towards Yang Jingxing and said, "I really didn't expect that I wouldn't have lost sleep last night, and I lost a lot." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Then you will have insomnia tomorrow night." ”
Yu Xinting said: "I'll talk about it after today." ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Yu Xinting said: "Let's go to the list first." ”
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Don't look at it, save time." ”
Yu Xinting thought for a while: "I want to go to the business district, I have been in Puhai for so long, and I haven't been to Puhai yet." ”
"Okay, let's go to Nanjing Road. Yang Jingxing was ready to call a taxi.
But Yu Xinting wanted to pull him on the subway: "No, I don't have as much money as you...... Do you know the Tao, Yiwu subway, the first time I took the subway was Geng Xidong took me. Have you ever been on a plane? I haven't been on a plane yet. ”
I listened to Yu Xinting's happy chatter all the way, and after arriving at Nanjing Road, Yu Xinting looked forward to it carefully, and told Yang Jingxing that Yidu also has a Chunxi Road, but compared to this, it is still dwarfed.
Just walking on the road, Yang Jingxing asked, "Why don't you go into the store to have a look?"
Yu Xinting shook her head and asked, "Do you want to see it?" ”
Yang Jingxing disagreed: "It's me who accompanies you." ”
Yu Xinting smiled, hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and see, motivate yourself!"
Entering the New World Realm, Yang Jingxing saw that Yu Xinting was carefully wearing gloves, so he asked: "What are you doing, it's not too hot? No one looks at your hands, they all look at your face." ”
Yu Xinting hehe, so she didn't wear it.
After only two glances on the first floor, Yu Xinting shook her head again and again: "It's so expensive, it's so expensive, but fortunately, I don't like it." ”
The women's clothes on the second floor, it seems that Yu Xinting likes it, but she doesn't have the courage to look at it up close, so she still sighs: "It's so expensive, let's change places, it's a blow here!"
Yang Jingxing asked, "Don't you want to motivate yourself?" ”
Yu Xinting said: "That's also within the scope of my ability, when will I be able to earn so much money!"
Yang Jingxing smiled and asked, "How are you going to make money?"
Yu Xinting said: "I can be a tutor, and I can also find a place to perform." My former teacher was that she could earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. ”
Yang Jingxing condemned: "You teacher, do you teach you to play the piano or teach you to make money!"
Yu Xinting was embarrassed and asked, "Do you think this thing is expensive?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Expensive! Fortunately, I don't want anything. ”
"And what do you like?"
Yang Jingxing: "I like it, money can't buy it." ”
Yu Xinting said: "I like delicious food and beautiful clothes. ”
Yang Jingxing taught a lesson: "It's delicious!"
Yu Xinting was basically healed and forgot the pain: "I just wanted to encourage myself that day...... Not to mention, painful memories. ”
The two of them went to two shopping malls and entered a few old stores, but they didn't buy anything.
Yu Xinting asked, "Are you hungry?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Hungry, let's eat." It is estimated that Yu Xinting should like Doulao, so she took her there.
Sure enough, Yu Xinting was fascinated as soon as she saw the menu, and asked the waiter carefully, pitifully: "Can you order half of each?"
Yu Xinting had no choice but to flip through the menu two or three times and order a few of her favorites. Yang Jingxing added again.
When the dish came up, Yang Jingxing raised his glass: "Come, praise you, you are not afraid of danger, you are strong and brave, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future." ”
Yu Xinting hurriedly put down the chopsticks that were already busy: "It's so good!"
Don't look at the fingers that can't be used, Yu Xinting's chopsticks are still fascinating: "It's delicious, I haven't eaten this before, it's good that you ordered it, otherwise you would have missed it." ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Why don't you learn to be a chef?"
"I just like to eat and I don't like to cook. ”
Halfway through, Yang Jingxing received a call from the squad leader: "Have you tried it for the first time?"
"It's over. ”
"Oh, then you keep up the good work and wait for your good news. ”
After eating, I continued to stroll around and returned at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Before the breakup, Yu Xinting asked, "Are you going to invite your teacher to dinner tomorrow?"
Yang Jingxing said, "You can come together." ”
Yu Xinting shook her head, and after a while, she said, "Thank you." ”
Yang Jingxing smiled: "You're welcome." ”
Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing: "Thank you very much." If I don't make the list, you won't be allowed to contact me again. ”
Yang Jingxing condemned: "What stupid things to say, am I so annoying?" ”
Yu Xinting said: "I'm serious, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say it in the future." He smiled again: "If I get in, I'll say nothing." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm sure you haven't said anything!"
On the 20th, there were more than half fewer candidates at the Conservatory, and the atmosphere was tense several times. What a cruel thing it is to be eliminated after entering the retest. There are so many universities for cultural candidates, so if you don't read this, you can choose that. But art candidates, especially those studying music, have invested so much energy and time into it, and there is so little room for choice, which is really not easy.
The piano department will finish a music theory exam in the morning, but the composition department will take two days. On the morning of the 20th, there was a harmony exam, three hours, followed by an hour of ear dictation. In the afternoon, I will write a complete piano piece based on the assigned material, which will take three hours.
Today, He Hongchui also came to care about Yang Jingxing and asked about the situation. He also heard that Yang Jingxing had begun to adapt Liszt and Chopin, and with this level, these exams should be pediatric.
may be afraid of disturbing Yang Jingxing, Yu Xinting didn't contact him, and went back after finishing the exam.
On the morning of the 21st, the composition department examined the performance of musical instruments. Theoretically, you can choose something other than the piano, but no one takes that risk.
For an etude, Yang Jingxing chose Chopin's OP10 No. 12, which is the so-called revolutionary etude. The long-distance jumps and octaves of the right hand are very fast, and the left hand is highly concentrated and difficult to do.
Yang Jingxing's performance is clear and smooth, magnificent, without the slightest drag, especially the left hand, the performance is very outstanding, but it is not heavier than the right hand.
As soon as he finished playing, someone annoyed him again: "I've been learning the piano for a few years...... Why didn't you take the piano exam...... What awards have he won...... "It seems that he is not famous enough.
For polyphony, Yang Jingxing chose BWV251 from Bach's 12 equal temperaments, and the music is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The funny thing is sight-reading, and the score is actually his "Night Rain Variations", which is too child's play. It is estimated that no one in today's exam can play better than him.
There was also an interview in the afternoon, and Yang Jingxing handed in two works, both of which were piano pieces, one "Night Rain Variations", one was made at home during the holiday, in polyphonic format, no name, only numbered.
The teachers looked at it and asked some questions, but it was not difficult. It's just that there is an old guy who is so hateful that he actually asks, "This fugue was really written by yourself?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes." ”
Then there is the improvisation, which is required to play the ancient Chinese culture in five tones. It's really funny, if Yang Jingxing is rebellious, just call those guys to try it and see who can do it.
But Yang Jingxing still had to work hard, and when he went up for a while, those old guys nodded again and again, and one of them said, "You remind me of chimes." ”
Next, we have to sing again, and we have to sing folk songs, isn't this a problem for young people in the 21st century? Yang Jingxing sang a song "Alam Khan", if Shao Lei saw it, he would have to laugh at him for the rest of his life.
After the question, there were some professional knowledge questions and answers, and Yang Jingxing was not stumped.
can be regarded as over, Zhang Chujia has been waiting, and slaughtered Yang Jingxing in the evening, because they will be alumni in the second half of the year. How aggrieved it is to be an alumnus with such a strange person.
On the morning of the 22nd, the list was released, and Yang Jingxing also went to wait at seven o'clock in the morning, and sure enough, he saw Yu Xinting.
Yang Jingxing was proud: "I caught you." ”
Yu Xinting's expression was simply disgusted: "Why are you here!?"
"I'll look at the results. ”
Yu Xinting was anxious: "I can't watch it with you!"
Yang Jingxing was sad: "Then let's look separately." ”
Yu Xinting lowered her head, and she was simply aggrieved: "The orange didn't pass the first test." "Orange, that short-haired female neighbor of hers in the piano room.
Yang Jingxing said: "She is mentally prepared. ”
Yu Xinting said again: "But she still cried...... Geng Xidong also said that he was very bad during the interview. ”
Yang Jingxing said: "He is not good at communication, there is no way. ”
Yu Xinting was even more sad: "It should have been mine." ”
Yang Jingxing asked, "Do you want to have it?"
"Yes. ”
"That's it, it's better than you all being wiped out, and they can congratulate you. ”
"But I don't think I'll be able to get by...... I'm scared again, and I don't know how to tell them...... But I feel sorry for you, and my parents ...... "Yu Xinting is really big."
Yang Jingxing taught: "But what you are most sorry for is yourself." ”
Yu Xinting struggled for a long time and said, "Then I'll see you first...... No, look at mine first, and then yours can be happy. ”
Yang Jingxing suggested: "In this way, I look at yours, and you look at mine." ”
Yu Xinting hesitated for a moment and said okay.
It's been a long wait, and more than half of the candidates who took the re-examination have come. At eight o'clock, the people who posted the list came out, and the crowd swarmed over.
The piano department and the composition department are separated by a few columns, and Yang Jingxing and Yu Xinting act separately. Yang Jingxing saw that he had a good vision, and he saw Yu Xinting's name from afar. There are quite a lot of students in the piano department, twenty, and Yu Xinting ranks eighteenth according to her grades, which is quite dangerous.
Yang Jingxing stood next to him and waited, seeing Yu Xinting squeezing there for a long time, he turned around sharply, and trotted over when he found Yang Jingxing, very happy: "It's over, it's over, it's the first place!"
can look at Yang Jingxing, a birdman, with a solemn expression, and his eyes are drooping, as if he doesn't dare to look at Yu Xinting.
Yu Xinting couldn't laugh anymore, and after being silent for a while, she reached out and shook Yang Jingxing's hand: "It's okay, really, I'm strong." ”
It's strong, the eyelashes keep trembling, the chin is shaking, and the tears can't be contained. Yang Jingxing sighed: "You didn't do well in the exam...... I was so disappointed that I took my score and finished third from the bottom. ”
Yu Xinting stood there, looking at her feet, two lines of tears rolled down, and said almost silently: "I'm sorry ......"
This frightened Yang Jingxing, and the joke was too much, and hurriedly said: "You're over, you're over!"
Yu Xinting didn't even look at Yang Jingxing, nor did she move.
Yang Jingxing had no choice but to push Yu Xinting's shoulder: "Go and see, you've really passed." ”
Yu Xinting didn't seem to dare to look at the list, just look at Yang Jingxing and the surroundings. Yang Jingxing pointed to the name on the list and said: "Look here, look here, if you don't look at it, everyone will know you!"
In a burst of laughter, Yu Xinting raised her eyes, her expression immediately changed, although there were still tears on her face, she had already forgotten what crying was, as if she had found something new, and hurriedly took a closer look.
After looking carefully, Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing and looked happy again: "It's really over! ”
Yang Jingxing quibbled: "I didn't scare you, I think you should do better." ”
Yu Xinting raised her two hands, wiped her left and right cheeks, glanced around, and hurriedly fled.
Choosing a place where no one stood within a radius of five meters, Yu Xinting began to happily question Yang Jingxing: "You just deliberately scared me!"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "I'm sorry, I already regret it." He pulled out a tissue and handed it over.
"You know how sad I was just now, my head went blank. Saying that, Yu Xinting was about to shed tears again.
Yang Jingxing comforted: "Okay, okay, don't be sad now." ”
"You're a bad person!" Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing with vigilant eyes.
Yang Jingxing couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm sorry, haven't you already been admitted, don't cry." ”
Yu Xinting grinned again: "I've really been admitted, I'm going to call home." You too!"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, let's go our separate ways." ”
Yu Xinting asked again: "Are you unhappy?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "How unhappy, I'm so happy." ”
Yu Xinting smiled: "By the way, congratulations." ”
"Congratulations too. ”
Yang Jingxing first informed his parents of the good news, and heard Xiao Shuxia loudly announce in the office that he was going to invite guests to dinner. The father was much calmer, telling Yang Jingxing that this was just the beginning, and that the road ahead was still very long, so he had to hurry up and make progress.
Mother meant to ask Yang Jingxing to go home immediately, or they came over, but Yang Jingxing said that he wanted to go back to school to continue studying, he was really sensible, and he had ideals and ambitions.
Yu Xinting's phone call was happy, she kept bouncing in circles, making eye contact with Yang Jingxing and waving and laughing. Yang Jingxing also had to call Hu Yiqing and thank him. As for Li Yingzhen and He Hongchui, they should be more prophetic than Yang Jingxing, but Yang Jingxing also had to call to express his gratitude. Then there was Liu Miao, Xia Xue's text message, Lu Lin also notified him and asked him to tell his friends.
Yu Xinting must have many friends, and the phone call hasn't finished for half an hour, giving Yang Jingxing, who was waiting, two embarrassed smiles.
finally finished the call, and Yu Xinting began to worry again: "I don't dare to go back now, I don't know how to face them." "In particular, Geng Xidong also fell off the list.
Yang Jingxing said: "Don't blame me, I thought you really wanted to be admitted, who knew that Lu Dao was so righteous." ”
The two of them went to get the cultural test notice first. It is not that you will definitely be able to go to the conservatory of music after the professional re-examination, but you still have to take the college entrance examination and reach the score line. However, there are really few people who have passed the professional examination but cannot pass the college entrance examination.
Looking at the cultural exam notice that is equivalent to the admission notice of the Conservatory of Music, Yu Xinting felt again: "My mother also cried, for so many years, she has been accompanying me to practice the piano......"
Yang Jingxing asked, "Then when are you going to go home?" ”
Yu Xinting said: "I'll buy a ticket tomorrow...... Do you think I should invite Geng Xidong to a meal?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Please, but this meal has nothing to do with the exam, you are friends who have known each other for so long." ”
Yu Xinting worried: "But they will definitely not be happy......"
Yang Jingxing said: "Then eat a sad meal, separate." ”
"Can you come?"
"Someone treats me, why don't I go. ”
So the two went back to the piano room. Of the eight people who live here, six are in the piano department, and only one is Yu Xinting. Everyone else is packing up and getting ready to go home. Geng Xidong hasn't looked at the list yet, but he already knows the results, and his mood is very low. The orange was a little better, and it was laughing again. also helped Yu Xinting persuade Geng Xidong to have lunch together.
For lunch, six people went to eat hot pot together, and a few families were happy and a few were sad. Yang Jingxing told some small jokes, but it didn't have much of a regulating effect.
After eating, Yang Jingxing was ready to go back to school. Yu Xinting specially sent him and instructed: "Be careful on the road." ”
Yang Jingxing said: "You are, send me a text message when you get home." ”
Yu Xinting nodded: "Okay...... See you again. ”
"See you again. ”
