The day before the piano competition, Jiang Xia had already obtained the complete draft of the first episode of "The Shape of Sound".

Li Qiuqiu worked hard, beyond Jiang Xia's expectations. When Jiang Xia saw the complete draft, he had to praise it, it was a very wise choice to choose Li Qiuqiu as his assistant!

Because the characters given by Jiang Xia are all drawn according to the standards of the movie "The Shape of Sound", the delicacy of the characters is much more exquisite than the original comic version, and the fineness of such characters has not shrunk in Li Qiuqiu's hands, but the entire picture of more than 50 pages has been maintained.

I really want to compare, Li Qiuqiu's painting style and aesthetics can be one level higher than the original comics, and the gap with anime movies is relatively small.

Li Qiuqiu asked nervously, "Teacher Jiangxia, how did I finish this first sentence?"

"Very good, totally worthy of the salary, and even worth the money! If you can, in a few months, I can consider giving you another salary increase. ”

Jiang Xia didn't have to behave, he was as harsh as some comic studio owners, and he was not short of money, so he said this sentence very casually.

Li Qiuqiu's mentality is different.

Finally recognized, she also sweated for herself. In her previous job, she was at the same level, but the workload was not much larger than this, and the salary was only about 8,000 a month.

If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't bear it, Li Qiuqiu would not have resigned.

Now Jiang Xia's job is very easy, you don't need to think about the character design, you don't need to think about the plot, you just need to draw things directly according to the outline that has been written, and you only need to talk more than 50 pages a week, so you really don't want to be too happy.

Hearing that there will be a salary increase in a few months, Li Qiuqiu said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Jiangxia! Can you ask, how high can you increase your salary?"

Li Qiuqiu was too interested in this.

"Ten thousand, how's that?"

"OK, deal, don't go back!" Li Qiuqiu was afraid that Jiang Xia would break his word and gain weight. Although even if Jiang Xia does not increase her salary, she will continue to do this job, after all, the basic salary is high, but if she really does not increase her salary, she will also respond in her heart.

"No regrets, but I hope you keep the quality as always. Jiang Xia instructed, and received a positive response from Li Qiuqiu.

The first episode of "The Shape of Sound" is very depressing, mainly telling the story of the heroine Nishinomiya Glass, who suffers from hearing impairment and speech impairment, because of difficulty in speaking and pronunciation, plus she can't hear the sounds around her, and is constantly bullied by Ishida Shoya and her classmates.

Because of the suppression, Jiang Xia was not ready to send it out now, just waiting for the next few words to come out, and then officially release it.

In the morning, he still practiced vocal music, and when he went to Qiao Chuhan's house for dinner at noon, he could clearly feel the tension inside.

Qiao Chuhan said: "The speed can be a little faster, such a speed can only ensure that you will not lose the preliminary round, and it is difficult to get a high score." ”

Jiang Wei believed it and was really trying to improve her speed.

With the improvement of proficiency, such a speed is indeed slowly improving, but it seems that Qiao Chuhan is still not very satisfied.

Qiao Chuhan demonstrated it to Jiang Weiyu, and Jiang Xia was full of excitement when he heard it.

He decided that he would never play the piano in front of Qiao Chuhan next time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing, and he would simply play a big knife in front of the door.

Jiang Weiyu memorized this speed, and then desperately tried to get closer to this speed, only to find that if it was only for a day or two, even if there was a proficiency improvement to help, it would not be possible to reach the same level as Qiao Chuhan.

Jiang Xia didn't speak, according to Qiao Chuhan's speed, if he really wanted to play it, even if it was a piano grade 8 piece, it would not be a big problem to beat the piano grade 10 piece.

Probably, Qiao Chuhan wants to further stimulate Jiang Weiyu's potential, so that she can get the most rapid improvement in the most tense stage.

At night.

Jiang Weiyu is still practicing, wanting to pursue a professional-level speed like Qiao Chuhan.

"Take a break, don't flick your fingers. Jiang Xia said: "If you want to listen to any tune, I'll play it for you." ”

"The designated piece of the piano competition is the 11th etude of Czerny 740, Dad, you play it for me. ”

"Ahem!" Jiang Xia suddenly turned around and went out: "I found that I have something to do, you continue to practice." ”

Halfway through, Jiang Xia turned around again and said with a smile: "You can embarrass me, I haven't practiced this song much, and I've been rusty for many years, where can I compare to your surprise practice...... For a simpler one, I'll play you a lighter tune. ”

"Well, okay. Jiang Weiyu gave up her seat.

Jiang Xia shook his clothes, and his heart was a little weak. With Jiang Wei's current level, he is afraid that he is already a little uncontrollable, so he can only play some new tunes to keep this guy fresh.

What to play?

Jiang Xia tried to play Liang Jingru's "Nuan Nuan", the brisk style can bring people inner touch.

After a little temptation, she noticed that Jiang Weiyu still had a fresh look, and she could be sure that she really hadn't heard this widely circulated tune, so Jiang Xia dared to boldly continue to play it.

didn't sing the lyrics, just fingers fluttering briskly on the piano keyboard, Jiang Xia finally finished playing the song,

"This should be a song, right?" Jiang Weiyu could also hear it, there was a very obvious melody of the main song and chorus, it was definitely not a simple piano piece, but like a piano accompaniment.

"It's a song, I'll hum it to you. ”

Jiang Xia hummed while playing, but sang the lyrics in his heart: "You can do it casually, I am willing to go to whatever you say, the little train, the swinging melody, it can be true, I will believe what you say, because I trust you completely." ”

Jiang Xia's humming is also very good, very light, and his expression is also relaxed and happy, coupled with the rendering power of the piano, Jiang Weiyu also shook his head and immersed himself.

"Okay, do you feel a little lighter?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Well, it's a lot easier, what's the name of this song?" Jiang Weiyu asked.

"It's called "Nuan Nuan". ”

"It's really heartwarming, and it's very suitable for this song. Jiang Weiyu relaxed a lot all of a sudden.

Taking advantage of Jiang Weiyu's lack of thinking too much about the piano competition, Jiang Xia told her the story of Ye Xiu, a full-time master.

But at the critical moment, Jiang Xia stopped and said, "If you want to know what will happen next, when you pass the preliminaries tomorrow, I will continue to tell you." ”

Yawning, Jiang Xia said that he was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep first.

Jiang Weiyu stared, she really wanted to bite Jiang Xia, it was really annoying!

But it's amazing! He can play the piano, sing and tell stories, and he is a very qualified father.

……

The next day, the piano competition began!

Very early, Jiang Xia vaguely heard the sound of a piano, and when he woke up, he found that this guy had probably started practicing since five o'clock.

Terror.

Xueba is Xueba, and it is also very awesome to apply this set to the piano.

The piano competition takes place in the town's Palace of Culture.

It's Saturday and a lot of parents are coming here with their children.

And Dream International Foreign Chinese School, there are also people who come to watch this piano competition, and there are even people who are contestants!

If Jiang Weiyu had paid attention, she would have found that her previous table mate in the first class of junior high school had actually come to participate in this piano competition.

"There are so many people, is the piano so popular?"

"Probably mainly on Saturdays, and then the parents of the contestants. ”

"Hey, that girl is very beautiful, is she also a contestant?"

I saw a girl wearing a white dress with a red ribbon around her waist, looking very smart and lovely, slowly walking into the concert hall, and looked at some of the little boys from middle and high school around her in a daze.

"I look at it, it's really beautiful. Wait, isn't this Jiang Weiyu?" One person was shocked, and said in his heart At this time, how could Jiang Weiyu appear here, wasn't she carefully preparing for the high school entrance examination?
