After eating, Sister Ran and the others were about to go back to the bar. Yang Jingxing didn't send it, and he had to go back to school to continue arranging and arranging instruments. Yu Xinting didn't bother.

On Tuesday morning, Yang Jingxing went to hand over the score of "Sun in the Rain" to He Hongchui. But He Hongchui actually has the score of "Wind and Rain on the Same Road", saying that he downloaded it on the school's forum.

He Hongchui carefully analyzed "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" to Yang Jingxing from beginning to end, and then compared the melody and arrangement of "Sun in the Rain", and praised Yang Jingxing's pursuit of melody, but in terms of composition techniques, He Hongchui felt that Yang Jingxing was a bit too "diverse and integrated", resulting in the commercialization of the most popular works without characteristics, just good to hear.

He Hongchui said that it is not that commercialization is bad, but commercialization is the biggest restriction on artworks, which will lead to the "goodness" of Yang Jingxing's works is quite superficial, and the vitality may be short-lived.

The facts are in front of you, Yang Jingxing's current works are widely circulated in the school, and everyone sounds very good, but few people are interested in in-depth research on his works, because there is no need for this. Although the structure of Yang Jingxing's works is a little complicated, the technique is still the most basic, and although the melody is excellent, the goal of pursuing it seems to be only good.

Taking cooking as an analogy, Yang Jingxing's work is like a plate of fried rice with a lot of good ingredients, which is delicious, but nothing special about it. However, a good chef does not make a hodgepodge, even if they take a single ingredient, they will use their top skills to make the most delicious and memorable dishes.

He Hongchui meant that Yang Jingxing wanted to be single-minded, write some special works, and more deeply experience the charm and efficacy of music in addition to being good.

He Hongchui also compared: "Like the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, those students who can draw portraits like photographs are not necessarily good students, because that is not the ultimate goal of art, and music is not just for the sake of sounding...... Several of our teachers have seen your work, and frankly, we didn't find the ideological ...... In addition to this ensemble, there is also a bit of fun. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't dare to think about ideology yet. ”

He Hongchui criticized: "Don't you dare to think about who can think? Don't feel that you are young, and you have your own feelings and thoughts to express at every stage of your life...... With so much determination and hard work, you should not only look at such commercial music. If you write something like this just to sell it for money, you might as well ask for it directly from home. ”

Yang Jingxing said that he would remember He Hongchui's words and work hard in the direction of art.

In the harmony class on Thursday afternoon, Professor Gong Xiaoling, who is about the same age as Li Yingzhen, suddenly cared for Yang Jingxing. Gong Xiaoling has an in-depth study of modern harmony, but unfortunately domestic music education does not pay special attention to this part, so even Gong Xiaoling explains classical harmony more according to the school's requirements when she goes to class.

Gong Xiaoling said that she watched Yang Jingxing's "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" and appreciated the piano part of it. Yang Jingxing also admitted that he had read Gong Xiaoling's two monographs on detailed explanations and sound paths.

Gong Xiaoling was very surprised, she did not recommend her books to students, and those books were first published in Russia, and they were not distributed in China, and the sets in the library were donated by her, and she didn't expect many people to read them.

So in the second class, Gong Xiaoling suddenly changed the course, projected Yang Jingxing's score and said: "In this lesson, let's analyze the work closest to us, and look at the piano chord voiceover and texture in Yang Jingxing's piano trumpet ensemble work. ”

A few of the dozen or so people in the class already had scores, and those who didn't had them copied on the spot. Luo Jiaqian's USB drive was taken off from Yang Jingxing's computer and passed it on one by one.

After everyone took a look, Gong Xiaoling encouraged: "Can someone first talk about his discovery and understanding of the use of harmony in this kind of work?"

A male student first talked about the use of counterpoint harmony in Yang Jingxing's works. This is obvious, blind people can see it, and it is not an opinion.

Xu Xuesi deserves to have a good relationship with Yang Jingxing, saw the two melodies in the work, and said: "This is my favorite part." ”

Luo Jiaqian also analyzed Yang Jingxing's rich texture forms, saying: "I think his alternating use of column chords and broken chords does not seem neat, but it is very helpful for the melody progression. ”

Gong Xiaoling nodded: "It's all very good, let me tell you my opinion......"

Jiang is old and spicy, and Gong Xiaoling's analysis is much more in-depth than these freshmen, not only about harmony, but also about melody, and even some of the tricks that Yang Jingxing played when writing can be seen clearly.

After talking for a long time, Yang Jingxing was embarrassed to look at people. Gong Xiaoling asked the last: "When I was teaching my sophomore year, many students said at the beginning that this song was about beautiful love, and it was particularly touching...... What do you think now?"

A few people looked at Yang Jingxing, and he smiled: "I don't know what to do." ”

Gong Xiaoling also laughed, and said after a while: "From the beginning, the prelude is very beautiful, and it can quickly draw the attention of the audience and look at the two melodies...... What reminds you of it?"

No one knows what to do.

Gong Xiaoling sighed lightly: "If life is only as ...... first seen"

A few people looked at Yang Jingxing again, and he was always laughing embarrassedly.

Gong Xiaoling continued to analyze, and then played in front of the piano, and then asked: "What is this paragraph about? Why will there be dissonant intervals, there are only two times in the whole song. ”

A girl whispered: "A little helpless?"

Gong Xiaoling praised: "That's right, this is a kind of helplessness and fleeting...... There is also this kind of vocal transcendence, which is generally not recommended, for what is the recurrence of this paragraph......"

Originally, it was said that this was a beautiful little song about love, but Gong Xiaoling led the students to analyze it into a song full of sadness and helplessness, which is not necessarily a description of love, but may also be a variety of other feelings, full of connotation of art.

Gong Xiaoling didn't ask Yang Jingxing about his thoughts and opinions, so he could only giggle there from beginning to end.

After class, several people came to Yang Jingxing to ask for the scores of all his works. Some studious people also asked: "Yang Jingxing, what is your motivation for writing this ensemble?"

Yang Jingxing smiled bitterly: "I really don't know what to do, I write it blindly." ”

At half past six on Friday evening, the semester exhibition of the works of the Department of Composition was held in the Old Concert Hall. Yang Jingxing took Yu Xinting and An Xin and ran into Qi Qingnuo, who had not seen each other for a few days.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Where did you go? ”

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's all busy. Asked Yu Xinting and An Xin: "Are you going tomorrow night?"

Yu Xinting nodded: "Go, hehe, An Xin and I still have to buy flowers." ”

After entering, Qi Qingnuo asked his classmates to sit together, and Yang Jingxing still took Yu Xinting and them to squat in the back row.

There are a total of fifty or sixty people in the undergraduate composition department of the Conservatory of Music, but most of them are not as prolific as Yang Jingxing, so as long as the works are a little decent, they will have the opportunity to be on stage.

From the lower grades, the first piece is Yang Jingxing's "Sun in the Rain", which is like an opening song, played by the school's orchestra, configured according to Yang Jingxing's score, an orchestra of more than 40 people, conducted by young teachers from the conducting department. They had only been practicing for a day or two, and Yang Jingxing hadn't even looked at it.

Although it is an old concert hall, the acoustics are still good. The brass chorus of the prelude immediately quieted the somewhat noisy vocals.

"Sun in the Rain" is not a grand work, it is said to be very commercial, so the performance is also simple, there is no need to find faults, and there is no need for the conductor and the orchestra to have a deep understanding of the work. Although the orchestra didn't have much time to practice, it also made mistakes in performance. The brass unison can be considered magnificent, and the string plucking is relatively neat.

The power of these dozens of people and dozens of musical instruments is not comparable to hundreds of thousands of double-row keys. Everyone in the orchestra has performance-level instruments, and they add up to millions. If Yang Jingxing can achieve a magnificent effect with the double-row keys and Qi Qingnuo Yu Xinting's ensemble, then the orchestra's expressiveness in this concert hall will be several floors higher.

Yu Xinting was excited, and after seeing enough of being on stage, she also watched Yang Jingxing, wanting to find out what it was like for him to hear his work being played by an orchestra for the first time. Yang Jingxing looked at it very seriously.

At the end of the music, there was a round of applause, and even the teachers and professors sitting in the front row raised their noble hands. Although He Hongchui criticized the work for being commercialized without any ideology, he also encouraged the students.

Yu Xinting asked Yang Jingxing: "Can they?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Very good. ”

Yu Xinting said: "I also think it's very good...... If it was like this last time, you would have won the prize, or first place. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'll take your words as a reward." ”

The orchestra didn't quit, and there will definitely be big works to come, and when they don't, they are also the audience. Then, Luo Jiaqian went up and played and sang the song she participated in the composition competition last time, and her guitar skills were really good, and she received a lot of applause. It's a pity that Xu Xuesi has no chance to come to power.

There are only three works in the freshman year, and then the sophomore year. It's not bad to have a jazz-style piano and violin trio, which should belong to the kind of single-minded writing style that He Hongchui said.

The sophomore year wasn't much lively, but as soon as it was the third year, there was an atmosphere immediately. Qi Qingnuo was noisy with a group of people in front, and she was whistling.

After a piano sketch, the newspaper said: "Next is the song work of Peng Yiwei of the junior composition department, the campus ballad "Passionate Iceberg Beauty", played and sung, Peng Yiwei. ”

Peng Yiwei and Yang Jingxing met, and I also went to the composition competition last time, and his appearance was not good, but he was more interesting, cheerful and talkative, and had a good relationship with Qi Qingnuo.

Peng Yiwei came to the stage, carrying a folk guitar, and his friends in the audience started to make a noise. After Peng Yiwei sat down, he said: "Who is this song dedicated to? ”

Someone laughed loudly below.

Sure enough, Peng Yiwei only sang a few words, and the concert hall became lively. The song is a typical campus ballad, with a nice melody, a simple theme, and an obvious content: "...... She rejected you and me, but she was still enthusiastic, and her name was Qi Qingnuo...... "It's catchy."

Peng Yiwei couldn't help laughing while singing, and the juniors in the audience, as well as a group of boys who were not even in the composition department, all laughed as if they had completed a particularly remarkable prank.

Qi Qingnuo sat in the middle of the group, his body slid a little towards the chair, as if he wanted to hide. She rested her arms on the chair backrest, raised her right wrist, and put her index finger on the middle of the person with a half-clenched fist, blocking her mouth, but she could still see that she was chuckling, and her eyes were even more watery.

Peng Yiwei was warmly encouraged by the audience, and he was energetic: "Let's come to ...... together"

The group below was really obedient and sang the chorus in unison: "She rejected you and me, but she was still enthusiastic, and her name was Qi Qingnuo." ”

This is much more climactic than Yang Jingxing's opening song, and even the teachers laughed.

Yu Xinting smiled and looked at Yang Jingxing, who was also laughing: "It's fun." ”

Yang Jingxing sang in a small voice: "...... But she was still enthusiastic......"

This is the climax of tonight, the song is over, and the applause is thunderous. What has a dramatic effect is that the next is Qi Qingnuo's work, which is also a song.

The announcer was still talking, Qi Qingnuo had already stood up from his seat, and it was the group of people who brought a burst of applause. Qi Qingnuo walked quickly on stage, sat down in front of the piano, and looked very calm: "This song is dedicated to my friends." ”

Yang Jingxing also coaxed, and Yu Xinting and An Xin slapped hard.

When Qi Qingnuo's piano sounded, the crowd fell silent again. Peng Yiwei's song just now was a bit joking and a little enthusiastic, but Qi Qingnuo's song was very quiet, and it had a more country music feel.

The piano accompaniment is relatively simple, Qi Qingnuo plays easily and leisurely, playing guitar with her is two postures, and the simple lyrics are sung very softly: "...... Dear friends, I hope you are happy, dear friends, I wish you happiness, dear friends, we open our hearts, dear friends, we do not get drunk and do not return......"

Qi Qingnuo's current appearance is not enthusiastic at all, he is simply a docile little lamb. The song is very good, especially relaxed and smooth, and the melody is simple and gentle. Especially in this kind of atmosphere, the feeling of gentleness and beauty is even stronger.

At the end of the song, Qi Qingnuo quickly stepped down. Yu Xinting applauded and asked Yang Jingxing, "Have you heard of it?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "No." ”

Yu Xinting said: "It's also good to listen to, and the singing is a little touching." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Of course, we are also her friends." ”

Towards ten o'clock, the show ended. I still have to evaluate the rankings, but it didn't take long for the results to come out. To hold a simple award ceremony, the third place is an orchestra work in the senior year, and the second place is also a trio in the fourth year, and the first place is Yang Jingxing.

When the announcer read out Yang Jingxing's name, Yu Xinting and An Xin were so happy that they seemed to have seen a big meal, and the two of them shook their hands and congratulated each other.

Yang Jingxing came to the stage and received a certificate of merit from He Hongchui, but there was no bonus. When he came down, he passed by Qi Qingnuo's row and said to Peng Yiwei: "This should actually be given to you." ”

Peng Yiwei Ha Luha: "We focus on participation. ”

Qi Qingnuo also lowered his eyes: "Where are you going to celebrate?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Tomorrow night." ”

Qi Qingnuo nodded.
