Li Xiaoru's voice made Jiang Chengfeng raise his head, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and thinking of Liu Yan's words and everyone's cold face towards him, he said a little overwhelmed, "Although I don't know what I did wrong, but I'll say sorry to you first, don't be angry, don't let me affect the game." ”

Jiang Chengfeng's apology was sincere, and he looked at Li Xiaoru nervously with a pair of eyes, looking like he was afraid that she would scold him.

In the face of such a boy, how else could Li Xiaoru be angry? She deliberately kept a straight face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn upward, "Well, I received your apology, and I'm not angry with you." Go back to the audience, I'm going to play soon. ”

"Oh, good. ”

Jiang Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and only responded resignedly, seeing Li Xiaoru turn around and plan to leave, the question that haunted his heart became more urgent, and he couldn't help but ask her, "Why are you angry?"

Li Xiaoru's back paused, and she said without looking back, "You think for yourself, feel for yourself, and experience for yourself." ”

Jiang Chengfeng: "?????"

Li Xiaoru didn't explain much at all, and walked quickly into the backstage,

Jiang Chengfeng silently sat back beside Liu Yan, feeling even more confused, Liu Yan didn't ask him what he said to Li Xiaoru, everyone was listening to the piano carefully.

Everyone listened to the same piece four times, and when it was the fifth time, it was finally Li Xiaoru's turn, she walked to the middle of the stage in a black dress, bowed deeply to everyone first, and then walked to the piano and sat down.

The 12 judges are already a little aesthetically tired at this time, no matter how good the song is, the single song will be looped several times, and they will get tired of listening to it, not to mention the difficult classical music, the judges have to think and feel it with their brains.

The judges still remember Li Xiaoru's performance in the last game, the three judges who scored low were particularly disgusted with her, and always thought that she was not eligible to enter the second round of competition, and among the 20 people who were brushed off before, there were obviously people who were higher than her, just because she was Julia; she was Chinese, and she had to balance the racial ratio; she was still a well-known Internet celebrity, and the other judges were on the net. They are not people who follow the crowd, the game must be fair, and they plan to give Li Xiaoru a low score this time!

But when they heard Li Xiaoru's performance, their thoughts were shaken.

From the very beginning, Li Xiaoru's version of the Egmont Overture presents an unusually thick and dead atmosphere, as if the clouds are thick, and everything is shrouded in darkness, and there is not a trace of light.

The Egmont Overture depicts the Dutch national hero Count Egmont 500 years ago, singing the praises of his rise against Spanish rule and oppression, his noble image, and his tragic death.

In today's era of peace, who can appreciate the heroic feats of hundreds of years ago and the unrest of a turbulent society? As a result, their performance is essentially the same as a student's response to a language appreciation question, either in a scripted manner or in a standard official format.

But Li Xiaoru didn't do this, when she heard Jiang Chengfeng ask her why she was angry, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, she was depressed there these days, and the other party was like a nobody?

How can a man be sluggish to this point!

Since he didn't know, she told him why with the sound of the harp!

The musical tone of pathos is roughly the same, Li Xiaoru thinks of the piano score of "White Soul", and uses a lot of slow and rapid pauses to create a sense of intermittent incongruity, especially in the scene where the actor is on the verge of death, the technique is more and more obvious. At that time, Liu Yan and the others were watching the movie, but Li Xiaoru's attention was on the background music, and without such a perfect soundtrack, the movie would have been overshadowed a lot.

She wanted to try to apply the soundtrack of "White Soul" to this performance, because when she rushed back from the United States exhausted, but was told by Jiang Chengfeng's parents, what is the difference between the feeling and the incomprehension, accusation and contempt of others in the face of the incomprehension, accusation and contempt of others in the pursuit of love in "White Soul"?

Li Xiaoru's performance was dim and heavy from the beginning of the prelude, and the hearts of the audience couldn't help but clench tightly, it was a kind of despair that life was about to come to an end, despair of oneself, despair of the whole world,

When Count Egmont walked to the guillotine, was he so desperate? This feeling was so sad that it was so overwhelming that it was extremely difficult to breathe.

It's hard, it's painful, it's hopeless, but ...... This is definitely an exceptionally good performance!

Suddenly, Li Xiaoru's fingers drew a bright treble in the low tone, as if it was a flash in the pan, and people didn't have time to catch it.

Then, slowly, the treble became more and more loud and louder, like a lighthouse on the sea, guiding the late returning fishing boat to find its way home in the darkness.

After all, the darkness passed, and the dawn came, and a series of triplets, peaks and loops, formed a song of hope that resonated with the heart.

The pupils of the person who was already desperate lit up, and he slowly got up, looking for the direction from which the voice came, and the direction was very bright...... It's so bright, so bright that you can't help but want to cry.

As if the music that penetrates people's hearts is like a hand, pulling every person out of the abyss, and the emotion and joy of new life reach the highest point at this moment.

The entire concert hall was silent, and the few contestants who were playing in front of Li Xiaoru all stood up, and no one could sense the threat of competitors to them more than those in the game.

Li Xiaoru interprets the core emotion of the whole piece - the melody at the end of the original piece is brisk, although the Count of Egmont is dead, his struggle finally leads to victory step by step, and when Beethoven writes this piece, he sublimates the tragedy at the end and increases the hope of light.

Few young pianists can express this turn of events well, or the reason for too little experience.

Could it be that they are wrong, Li Xiaoru is a genius?!

At the end of the whole piece, Li Xiaoru sat in front of the piano, and the whole concert hall was full of thunderous applause. They agree with Li Xiaoru's arrangement and her performance.

The 12 judges also applauded, some nodded approvingly, some talked to each other, and some had already started grading.

Li Xiaoru got up, bowed to everyone again, and left the stage.

Backstage, the white contestants who had not spoken to her on the shelf took the initiative to exclaim, "Your "Egmont Overture" is wonderful!"
