Chapter 17: Symphony for the Second Trial

The summer birds flew to my window, chirped and sang, and then flew away again.

The yellow leaves of autumn, with no song to sing, sigh and fall there.

O little wanderers of the earthly world, please leave your footprints in my writings.

……

The Birds is a great collection of poems, containing profound philosophies and reflections on life, which is the eternal and glorious work of Tagore.

But as far as the art examination is concerned, it is too long, there are a total of three hundred and twenty-five untitled poems, if you want to finish reciting, it is impossible to do it for more than an hour, obviously the examiner will not give Zhou Bai such a long time, Zhou Bai recited the first ten poems.

Compared with "Rain Alley", the tone of "Flying Birds" is much more cheerful, full of love for life and philosophical thoughts on the world, without too many emotional ups and downs, but to enrich it with natural emotions and show the level of the work.

If you want to attract people, poetry with ups and downs is the easiest way to achieve this goal, while poems that are plain and natural and full of enthusiasm are the best skills to express beauty and reciters.

Like "Haiyan", many people like to recite, because it is famous and passionate enough, but it is not very difficult to really interpret this famous work of Gorky.

The shortcoming of Zhou Bai's voice is undeniable that it is not deep and deep enough, and his recitation with a pure and warm voice is full of words, and the rhythmic interpretation sounds unique, but it seems novel.

Zhou Bai is not a demon, not the kind of non-human with a system that can inexplicably obtain a master-level ability out of thin air, nor can he arbitrarily play an extremely high level of coercion regardless of age and conditions, his current strength is only possessed after countless hard practices.

Even if he got Li Mingyuan's memory fragments, but fragments are fragments, it is neither complete nor clear enough, and many things even Li Mingyuan himself is a failure, many things have only one impression, and they are not the kind of complete information that they have in depth at all, to put it bluntly, Zhou Bai does have advantages that ordinary people do not have, but it does not mean that he can achieve success casually without hard work.

"Your recitation is very good, and you can see that you have put a lot of effort into it. Your pursuit of your dreams is worthy of recognition, and as an examiner, I can't judge whether you are on the right path or the wrong path. Because the road is often something that people can only know whether it is right or wrong after walking a long distance, and this takes time to test. Wang Liya spoke first after Zhou Bai's recitation performance.

"Yes, I understand. But so far I've had a great time, and I've learned a lot along the way, and I'm confident that I made no mistakes. Zhou Bai said seriously, his eyes were very firm.

"Very well, although I can't tell if you're right or wrong in life, what I can tell you is whether you're fit for the show or not. For now, judging from your performance, you have a lot of potential to explore, and I hope that you will continue to work hard to get the pass and be admitted to our school. Wang Liya nodded and said sincerely.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. Zhou Bai bowed slightly, obviously this was a positive evaluation of his performance.

"Why did you choose "Flying Birds"? You should know that it is not easy to take the exam, because it is not easy to excel. Then Gao Jingwen next to Wang Liya asked, he was a little curious.

"Because I love "Flying Birds" so much, I want to perform the works I love, and I chose it without thinking about it so much, I just believe that I can do it well. Zhou Bai smiled embarrassedly and said, he didn't lie.

"You performed very well, you didn't choose smart enough but you were successful, you did a good job, you deserve praise. Frankly speaking, choosing your favorite works for interpretation may not be enough, but it is easier to devote yourself to feelings, and perhaps closer to the essence of art. Everyone who walks on the road of art should have such a pursuit, that is, to pursue what they like, to abide by their original intentions and not compromise is called art. ”

Gao Jingwen is very happy, he is the kind of teacher of the old school, and he always feels that people's works today are too easy to flatter, too impetuous and utilitarian, and it is called art by abiding by his heart and not compromising This is his heart, Zhou Bai's answer is very much in line with his appetite, and he is true and undisguised.

Zhou Bai doesn't know Gao Jingwen, this professor of the Chinese Opera Performance Department is not in charge of the 96th grade, he is mainly responsible for teaching the 94th grade of students, although he is not the head teacher and the main teacher, but he is responsible for many courses in the 94th grade. It was a task issued by the school for him to be an art examiner, and it was the examiner Wang Liya who finally decided the fate of the candidates, but this did not prevent him from expressing his views.

"It can be seen that the foundation of your recitation is very good, and it takes courage to dare to choose a work like "Flying Birds" at your age, of course, you are not mature enough in terms of technique, and the rhythm and breath need to be strengthened. You're still very young, it's not easy to be able to perform to this extent, and I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Zhou Bai's recitation performance ended with Wang Mingya's evaluation, and the teachers also scored well under their respective lists.

Wang Mingya is the deputy director of the performance department, this time he is actually not used as an examiner, these days I heard Wang Liya say that there are many good seedlings in this batch of candidates in today's second examination, as the person in charge of the 96 class admissions, he can't help but be moved, and make a cameo.

The better the quality of the students recruited by the Chinese opera, the more it shows that his work is fruitful, otherwise the enrollment work will be a mess, and recruiting a batch of parallel goods will be a shame for the Chinese opera, and it will also smash his signboard.

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhou Bai bowed and walked off the stage, the surrounding candidates applauded to show encouragement, and each candidate would get applause after completing the performance, and the first person to do so today was Zhou Bai, who took the lead in this matter.

Zhou Bai didn't have any utilitarian purpose in doing this, he simply felt that if he could applaud after everyone's performance, maybe it would make people feel a lot more relaxed.

It's not his Virgin, she just does what she wants, without any utilitarianism, and she doesn't want to highlight herself, she does it exactly what she thinks in her heart.

Zhou Bai's recitation session did not cause any big sensation, nor did passers-by talk about it, and no one was impressed by Zhou Bai's five-body throw on the ground or was slapped in the face crazily, but only a few teachers gave him pertinent comments and pointed out his shortcomings in a relaxed atmosphere.

This is a real exam, of course, Zhou Bai's performance is also very good, the teachers are very satisfied, the appearance is outstanding and there is high potential and plasticity, this kind of student is definitely every teacher's dream.

To put it bluntly, what a teacher does is the work of shaping people, and who would want the kind of students who are more hanging than the teacher and have nothing to teach at all? Maybe only the deceitful and famous thief who likes to do façade kung fu will like it, and the real teachers are students who like to have the potential and spiritual ability to let him teach and solve doubts.

Compared with recitation, Zhou Bai behaved very generally in the vocal music next, although singing is not the kind of singing level that he joked about, but it is really not very outstanding, the whole performance is decent, in this item, he can only rank in the middle of this batch of candidates for the second examination.

There is no way, his own family knows his own affairs, he has no musical foundation, and he has not undergone professional training, so he can sing to the KTV level is already extraordinary.

The candidates in the same room also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, such a Zhou Bai would not make people feel demonic, if Nima was so powerful that he would not let people live, everyone was here to compete, and it was not competition if he was completely crushed into slag, it was called abuse.

In the second test proposition performance project, Zhou Bai and Yang Lele were divided together, and their topic was that the couple quarreled on a date.

Zhou Bai, who has never been in love, can only perform according to his imagination and the experience he has gained from life observation, but fortunately, after communicating with Yang Cola, the cooperation effect of the two is very good, and the performance is very natural, but the state between lovers is performed in a good way, so they get a good rating.

Zhou Bai has no professional training, he doesn't know anything about the methods and skills of acting, he performs completely according to his own imagination, if he really opens the hanging, he will have the level of an actor at the level of an actor, what art examination will he participate in, and he will directly enter the entertainment industry.

After two exams, Zhou Bai's strengths were undoubtedly revealed, that is, he was very good at lines, whether it was in recitation or in performance, he could convey the emotions that should be just right, and the musicality was much more ordinary, and in general, he was a candidate whose shortcomings were as obvious as his advantages.

At the end of the second test, Zhou Bai's evaluation in the hearts of the teachers was basically like this.
