The entire South Star Academy is indeed different from before.

Needless to say, this period is also a time when there are a lot of competitions between colleges and universities.

For example, the previous national debate competition lasted for more than two months, and in the end, Chu Zhe of Nanxing University directly defeated Peking University and won the championship.

In addition to this competition, there are naturally other competitions, basketball leagues and football leagues, which have long been held vigorously, but Nanxing College has not yet opened a sports institute, and football and basketball projects naturally cannot participate.

Those who can participate are all majors that are already in place, for example, literary competitions include orders, couplets, guessing riddles, etc., while the English College is an English recitation and speech competition, and then the School of Computer Science, the simpler one is the programming competition, and the powerful one is the on-site hacker attack and defense.

Among them, the music competition has attracted more attention.

This college music league, which is equivalent to an annual competition, is the same as the national debate league, where the winning students compete with the colleges and universities of the other provinces in the district where the school belongs, and finally the winners are determined to enter Beijing to participate in the finals.

Nanxing University is located in Yuezhou, which belongs to Hunan Province, Hunan Province belongs to Central China, and the competition in Central China includes universities in Hunan, Hubei and Henan provinces.

Hunan, Changsha.

Several students from Nanxing Academy were dressed very formally, and they were extremely nervous behind the stage.

"There's no need to be nervous, just practice as usual. ”

"Yes, Mr. Liszt taught us to practice the piano, the most important thing is to only pay attention to the piano, and don't pay attention to the rest, haven't we also practiced in the mall before?"

Another student spoke.

"That's right, but this competition is really important, if you can win, you can enter the finals in Central China, and this time, the entire Hunan Conservatory of Music seeded players came. ”

"Cai Liang, don't be nervous, you are the best at playing the piano, and the students from other colleges and universities are great, but we are not bad, when we signed up before, who would have thought that we would be able to go all the way to the finals?"

Another student said.

"Just a few of us made it to the finals, which shows that our strength is there, as long as we play well. ”

Cai Liang and the three of them were chatting, and not far away, several other students also walked over.

They looked at Cai Liang and the others, and one of them asked, "Which school are you from?"

"Southern Star Academy. ”

"Nanxing?"

One of them laughed: "The reputation of Nanxing Academy is quite resounding, but it's a pity that it's still a fourth-class university, and I don't know if you've learned anything, don't be ashamed when you come to the stage." ”

Sven replied coldly, "Which school are you from?"

"St. Michael's Academy, I wonder if you've heard of it?"

The faces of Shi Wen, Cai Liang and the others all changed, this school is very famous, and it is not ordinarily famous!

In the list of schools released by the Ministry of Education before, St. Michael's Academy ranked eleventh in the field of music!

This ranking includes the list of key universities starting from third-class universities and going to key universities, not looking at the reputation of the school, but only looking at the comprehensive strength of the school, that is to say, St. Michael's College of Music in the field of music, and even some key public universities in China, have also been pressed below.

This special conservatory of music is a Sino-foreign joint venture, belongs to the aristocratic school, a semester tuition is expensive, but the level of teachers inside is also very high, students from the inside, the learning of musical instruments is definitely equivalent to a point of specialization.

Moreover, the St. Michael's Music Academy is also ranked first in the whole Hunan Province, the first in music majors, and even the Conservatory of Music of Lake Normal University is not its opponent.

This shows how awesome this school is.

"Looks like you've heard the name of my school. The other party laughed, "My name is Shi Ziyu, remember my name, because in the next game, I will completely crush you." ”

The words are light and breezy, but there is an undeniably strong self-confidence.

Cai Liang spoke: "Our Southern Star Academy will not be worse than you. ”

"Haha, really, I hope you'll have the courage to say that again when you're losing badly. ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Ziyu and the rest of the students also turned to leave, but the mocking smile on their faces was deeply imprinted in Cai Liang's heart.

Cai Liang looked at his back, but he was not nervous.

"Shi Ziyu, this person is crazy. ”

Sven shook his head: "Maybe he has a low eye." ”

"Nope. Cai Liang shook his head, "He has strength, and people without strength will not have this kind of confidence, but I don't know how strong his strength will be." ”

"It's okay, this time, as long as we get into the top five, we can get the final place in Central China. ”

"It's not enough. Cai Liang's eyes were firm, "I want to defeat him, I want to prove that the Southern Star Academy is no worse than the St. Michael's Academy!"

The hall of the entire competition venue is already full of people, and this annual music event, the college music league, has also made many insiders pay attention to it, wanting to see what good seedlings there are.

If there is an extremely outstanding performance, then even some master-level figures will extend an olive branch and give that student the opportunity to further his studies.

There are everyone in the audience, including reporters, people from various universities, and insiders.

The five judges in front of him are all well-known pianists in the circle, after all, the piano competition is held here, and the rest of the violin competitions and dance competitions are not here.

"This time, I don't know who will win. ”

"Lake Normal University, St. Michael's College, Central South University, and Langyin College, the competition is very fierce. ”

"I'm still optimistic about St. Michael's College, this school definitely has strong students. ”

"Yes, when you hear the name of the school, you know that it is very strong, but there are five places in the district finals, and the students of St. Michael's Academy will not be all occupied, and there are always two or three places to be distributed to the students of the other schools. ”

Everyone in the audience was whispering.

"Isn't there also a South Star Academy? I heard that the music major of the South Star College is also very strong. ”

"Those are two completely different things, the music major of Nanxing College is indeed booming, opening a music platform, and holding a music talent show, but those are all singers, this is a piano, and it is biased towards classical style, I am not optimistic about Nanxing College. ”

"Yes, the School of Music of Nanxing University is also strong, but students may be more suitable for the entertainment industry. ”

The five judges sitting in front of them were extremely quiet, after all, they were all old people, the youngest one, also forty years old, with twenty piano skills, and a seven-star pianist.

Being older means steady and well-informed, and their attainments in the piano are far from being comparable to those of these participating students.

"The next contestant, Hu Yatong, a student from Liren College, please, the repertoire she wants to perform is the seventeenth grade repertoire, "Lake and Bridge". ”

Applause rang out.

"Liren College is also a good music school, but it's a pity that there is a St. Michael's Academy that has been pressing on its head. ”

"This school should send their seeded players, maybe it can be unexpected, maybe some surprises. ”

"This song "Lake and Bridge", although it is ranked at level 17, but the difficulty of playing is not small, if you can pop up the feeling, I think she has a good chance of winning. ”

Not long after, from the side of the stage, a student in a skirt walked in.

Although she is a student, she wears heavy makeup, bright lipstick, and a pair of high heels on her feet, and the skirt is an evening dress.

Hu Yatong bent down and bowed, then sat on the edge of the piano, the sitting posture was standardized, there was no sound in the audience, all quiet, the lights were dim, waiting for her piano to sound.

The next moment, Hu Yatong began to play on the strings with two fingers, and with a crisp bang, the curtain began.

None of the five judges spoke, watching her perform, followed by a slightly fast-paced string gesture, but with a kind of sombre.

She adapted the tune!

In this hall, both the judges and the audience have a basic understanding of the piano tune, and the overall tone of this piece is slow and melancholy, but this girl plays it, and the style changes to another one.

Black and white are staggered, and the piano notes are constant.

This song was only more than five minutes, and when it was finished, there was applause at the scene.

The girl stood up and bent over with her skirt up, and the judges began to score and then looked at each other.

"I'll tell you. ”

The old man on the far left looked at the student on the stage.

"How many years have you been playing?"

"It's thirteen years. ”

"That's still a long time, so do you know who created this song "The Lake and the Bridge", and what kind of background did you create this song?"

This "Lake and Bridge", is composed by the French pianist Baptiste in 1834, it is rumored that Baptiste suffers from depression, one night, walking alone on the bridge on the lake, the water is sparkling, and the heart is touched, it is with this "Lake and Bridge", its overall style is a dark Gothic style, to express a bizarre inner world. ”

"That's a good answer, but the style you played didn't fit the style and tone of the piece at all. ”

"I wanted to create again and express a different style. ”

"Wrong, no matter how you create and adapt, you can't completely change its style, this is a dark and bizarre tune, but what you play out is like an extra smell of wind and dust, your strength has not reached this point, indiscriminately adapted, but its core is washed out to the point that there is not much left, classical piano, its form of expression, to serve the core. ”

Hu Yatong on the stage stopped talking.

"In view of this, the final score given by the five of us is 3.1. ”

Hu Yatong's eyes were red, but she still bowed down again, and the audience was also full of regretful voices.

A full score of five points, 3.1 points, if it is replaced by the rest, it is already very high, but for the students on this stage, it cannot be lower.

The students from the rest of the schools in the background also looked more nervous and dignified.

Next, students performed one by one, and those from Central South University, Lake Normal University, and Langyin College also performed on stage one by one.

The judges' scores are also averaged by five people, and so far, the highest score is a student from Langyin College, who directly scored 4.2 points.

Another student went down and went into a short break.

"Lu Zifang of Langyin Academy scored 4.2 points, and there must be one place for this regional finals. ”

"That's not necessarily, there are still nearly a third of the people in the back who didn't make it. ”

"The scores given by the five judges are too strict, and the pressure on the scores is very serious. ”

After all, it's the provincial finals, and if you don't release water strictly, even if you go to the district finals, you will be eliminated by the rest of the people. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and it didn't take long for the next person to come to the stage, Shi Ziyu from St. Michael's Academy.

"Shi Ziyu! This student is a bit famous. ”

"Oh?

"Before his sophomore year, he won the first place in the music competition held by the St. Michael's own music competition, and after a year of grinding, he also won a lot of awards in the provincial piano competition. ”

"He lost in the regional finals last year. Another said.

The host announced: "Performer, St. Michael's Music Academy, Shi Ziyu, repertoire, grade 20 repertoire, "Revolutionary March". ”

Wow!

Many people in the audience were extremely surprised, twenty level repertoire.

Even the five judges who did not change their faces were surprised when they heard this news.

No matter what the rating is, the more difficult it will be, and the same is true for the piano skill rating, starting from level 16, those tracks are more difficult than the other, not to mention level 20!

None of the students who competed before dared to challenge the 20th level of the song, and the most one challenged the 18th level, and then made a mistake in the playing, and the result was that the score fell below 3.0, which is as difficult as you can imagine.

Backstage, the rest of the students who were going to go on stage were also shocked.

"Cai Liang, he directly went to level 20 tunes?"

Sven on the side had a solemn face.

"Let's see his performance first. ”

"Revolutionary March" is a work by Polish composer Stefan Zweig, which is somewhat similar to the original world Chopin's "Revolutionary Etudes", when Poland was almost destroyed, Stefan Zweig composed this piece with grief and indignation.

The tone of the whole piece is composed under anger, very fast, difficult, and one of the world's famous songs, and more importantly, the passionate and angry emotions are all conveyed in the piano.

Shi Ziyu appeared with a smile on her face, extremely confident, bowed to everyone present, then sat down in front of the piano, tidied up the clothes behind her, and then hung her hands above the piano.

The next moment, the hands fell suddenly, like a heavy bell ringing, followed by the rapid sound of the piano like raindrops, and the hatred and anger for the extinction suddenly exploded!
