Chapter 31: Great Demon King Gu
This day does belong to Gu Caizi.
Xu Teng resisted the urge to beat Jiang Yingyu all the way, pretending to know nothing, and accompanied everyone to the music practice room of Jiang Normal University, Yan Xiaoqing, Guo Juan, and Zhou Tingting's faces were very gloomy, they knew that Jiang Yingyu had been practicing piano since he was a child, and he often went to the practice room to practice in two years of college.
Xu Teng doesn't need to ask, no need to guess.
A young lady like Jiang Yingyu, who is also a girl from Guangzhou, must have learned a classical instrument, either piano or violin.
However, no one knows.
Of the twelve, there was one who was even more ruthless.
Jian Chen is the most indifferent one, he has played classical guitar and violin for several years, he feels bored, he does not go deep, he has no interest in this area, and he has no need for this area.
Right.
There is no need for anything.
Xu Teng estimated that Chen Jian's life was as calm as water, and he had whatever he wanted, so that he had no special interest in anything, and he didn't even need music to express his emotions.
Xia Li doesn't care, Yang Yun, Song Yuanyuan and Meng Xiaomeng are still very stupid freshmen and girls, and they didn't expect that this was a fight to the death.
Zhao Pu is the most tragic.
Walking sadly at the back of the crowd, he felt that except for his eldest brother Gu Chen, who was walking side by side with him, no one could understand their hearts.
He likes to play, he plays very directly, billiards, game consoles, poker, has never played music, feels very tired, very motherly, and now he finally regrets it.
In the three years of high school, he played very little, he had been studying hard, and finally he was barely admitted to the third line, and his family spent a small price of 100,000 yuan to send him to the pilot class of Yangtze River College.
Last night, he discovered a problem.
Xu Teng was tuning, whether it was accurate or not, and he didn't need a special method to distinguish it by hearing, Chen Jian kept watching, as if he wanted to help, so he stopped looking at it when he was tuned, and continued to do push-ups.
From beginning to end, only he and Gu Chen did not react.
Therefore, he said that Xu Teng is the second master, Chen Jian is the third master, and they can play.
At this moment, if Xu Teng could gain insight into his heart, he would definitely advise him not to follow, because after a while, when everyone would be hit by a torrential rain, he would suffer even more catastrophe.
This music practice room is not large, has a mirror, has two pianos, and also has guitars, drums, and other instruments.
These are not very good instruments, because they are reserved for casual students.
Really professional music students, they have more professional practice rooms, students who can really play, the instruments are all carried with them, and they will not use other people's instruments lightly, let alone use low-level instruments.
Jiang Yingyu is a scheming daughter, as soon as she entered the door, she picked up a classical guitar, played it twice at random, and said with a smile, "Xia Li, Xu Teng, you are playing professionally, play a few songs for everyone, let's sing along." β
A total of three guitars.
One classical, two ballads.
Xu Teng knew very well who the big demon king behind him was, anyway, it was an indiscriminate second kill, and it was not him who was embarrassed, so he randomly selected the slightly better folk guitar for Xia Li, and used another classical guitar himself.
He and Charlie don't rely on musical instruments to win.
This is probably the least worrying thing about the two of them about losing face.
Since junior high school, the two have long had a tacit understanding, and the best one to play is Qi Xiaopeng, Xu Teng and Xia Li are generally only responsible for concertos, and the main purpose of the guitar is to control the beat and pitch.
"You at the same table. β
This one, which is almost their repertoire, plays the most.
"Okay. Xia Li liked this one very much, holding the guitar, and probably played a few small notes, making sure that the guitar had no intonation problems.
"Tomorrow will you remember, the diary you wrote yesterday. "Xu Teng started, this is the way they are used to, because he and Xia Li are alto, he is a baritone, and Xia Li is a mezzo-soprano.
To put it bluntly, neither of them has a high pitch, and it is very consistent that it can't go up to G2, so, for the sake of safety, they will use the method of transliteration at F2 and above, and cover each other with falsetto.
This is the throat of the most ordinary people.
The only thing they play with is the chorus, the similar clarity, the clean sound, the low of the boys and the ethereal of the girls, the tacit harmony, just find an old song and enjoy the time and the music bring them fun.
Although it is an old song that everyone can sing, in the practice room, everyone else can only listen quietly, and it is indeed a long time to play, which is quite good.
"Xia Li and I throw bricks and stones, you continue, we have played since we were children, and we prefer two people to play quietly, there is no desire to perform, and there are many people who are not very comfortable. Xu Teng only sang one song, then gave the guitar to Jian Chen, and sat in a random corner with Xia Li, giving up this vast and doomed bloody stage to the people who really wanted to kill.
Chen Jian actually doesn't know how to play the folk guitar, he looked at the idle violin next to him, a little hesitant, but he saw Xu Teng's eyes shaking his head slightly, and thought, yes, he is already so hated, there is no need to play too ruthlessly, give the boss and Xiaosi a way to live.
He played the folk guitar, and like Xu Teng, he basically controlled the rhythm and pitch, and sang a song "Xiasha".
This is a really new song, which only came out last year.
He doesn't sing exquisitely, and he doesn't play the guitar exquisitely, but there is an inexplicable sadness that makes people feel heartfelt, Xu Teng doesn't know if he has good acting skills, or if there is really a sad story that no one else knows.
He also only sang one song, and got up and didn't want to continue.
Here comes the master.
"As it happens, I really like this song too. Jiang Yingyu couldn't wait to come out, a little lucky, probably feeling that he was better than Chen Nanshen's performance.
As everyone expected, she chose the tall piano.
Xu Teng didn't remind her to avoid the killer of the Great Demon King, because he couldn't say that there was a Great Demon King here, this was Gu Chen's secret, and he didn't know it by chance until he got married.
He just had a hunch that the Great Demon King would definitely come up with a killer weapon if he fought today.
Because this bastard has a crush on his wife, she is too undisciplined, and she really has to fight hard, or because Chen Nanshen is under too much pressure, and she can't do it if she doesn't come up with a trick.
However, the Great Demon King didn't think that as soon as he made a trick, Zhao Pu would jump off the building.
Jiang Yingyu's song is very suitable for adaptation into piano music, because the melody is smooth, but that's all, her voice condition is very good, obviously she has practiced bel canto professionally, but she is better at playing the piano, so most of her energy is playing.
Perhaps, she thought, she played, Chen Nanshen sang, this is a better match.
Xu Teng resisted the urge to beat her to death, because he was deliberately observing the Great Demon King, and the Great Demon King's fingertips moved lightly a few times, and every time Jiang Yingyu played it badly, or when it was wrong.
Even as if he had foresight, as soon as the fingertips of the Great Demon King moved in advance, Jiang Yingyu would definitely make a mistake.
Xu Teng only had one guess, as soon as Jiang Yingyu started playing, the Great Demon King knew her level, and accurately predicted where she couldn't get by, and where she would definitely make mistakes, and then subconsciously corrected her mistakes.
After Jiang Yingyu finished playing the song, he was accurately greeting the applause and praise of his friends, and the big demon king had suddenly got up and asked everyone a little muna, "I also play this song, or Bach." β
Others don't feel it, it's just strange, this Gu Chen, who is not amazingly short and a little skinny, also wants to play the piano?
Jiang Yingyu trembled slightly, and she realized that this was definitely a disaster.
Jian Chen and Xia Li's eyes lit up, and they were quite impressed by Gu Chen.
"Bach, Bach?" Gu Chen was a little enchanted, he didn't know whether to choose Bach, or he wasn't sure which piano piece to choose Bach, he didn't even care about Jiang Yingyu's shock, he didn't care that she was still sitting in front of the piano, he walked over, stood next to her and played a few keys to determine the feel.
Jiang Yingyu was a little frightened, hurriedly got out of the way, trembling and a little overwhelmed, not knowing what he did wrong, or ignoring him all along, provoking a backlash from the other party.
The Great Demon King is really enchanted.
He sat down and played a dozen messy rhythms in front of the piano, his wrists and fingertips were very fast and light, and beside him, Jiang Yingyu was even more speechless, his eyes wide.
Xu Teng knew that Jiang Yingyu was really frightened, so he hurriedly walked and pulled her over.
This is just the beginning, and after a while, she will be completely crushed, and there will be no blood left.
"Oh!" Gu Chen finally decided which track, loosened his shoulders, and became no longer nervous, as if he was talking to everyone, and as if talking to himself, "Actually, I have always disliked being around people who are too good, that will make me more autistic." Since I was a child, I have been like this, in order to avoid others, when I applied for volunteers, I deliberately gave up one and two volunteers, just hoping to go to a quiet small place and study quietly. I didn't expect that fate would really play tricks on people, not to mention a grade, a class, and actually arranged two people in a dormitory who were easy to make me autistic. β
Xu Teng swore that he didn't know any of this.
He only knew that Gu Chen could play the piano, and he was at the level of the Great Demon King, but now he finally knew why this guy slipped to Yangtze River Academy, he was here to bully people, but he didn't expect to meet Chen Jian.
Well, he also counts as one.
Chen Jian is not particularly outrageous, just past the first line, if you fill in the wrong two volunteers, the possibility of falling into the third book is very high.
The Great Demon King is particularly outrageous, and Tsinghua's score fell to Yangtze River College.
Xu Teng didn't know his score before, but this time he deliberately checked it to know how terrifying the Great Demon King was.
"Last night, I thought about it for a long time, if this is fate, perhaps, this is a good opportunity to adapt fate, probably a hint of fate. When Gu Chen said this, he finally raised his left hand.
Xu Teng had a bad feeling, it was not Bach, the Great Demon King was not talking about "changing fate", but "adapting fate".
There is an old story here, the first time he heard Gu Chen play Bach, he was shocked at the time, but he didn't know which one it was, because he didn't figure it out now.
At that time, Gu Chen was already in his thirties, and he was still alone, and in their house, he and Yang Yun's youngest daughter played a Bach song that was very similar to the gospel as a birthday gift for this little daughter.
When Yang Yun worked in the luxury agency in Guangzhou, he had been exposed to many social levels that ordinary people could not reach, and he had a certain appreciation for piano performance, and admired Gu Chen's level comparable to many masters in China.
Gu Chen was a little strange, even sad, and said that except for his own "adaptation" of the fate song, nothing else could reach his father's Cheng dΓΉ.
At first, Xu Teng and Yang Yun thought that his father was dead, but later found out that his father was not dead, and finally suddenly understood that the reason why Gu Chen was sad was only because he had no way to surpass his father.
As Gu Chen himself said, with people who are too good, he is easy to be autistic.
Xu Teng had no idea, he was very curious, and he also felt tragic, until Gu Chen's left hand fell lightly, and he played a slight pop, puff.
Symphony No. 5, solo piano.
Xu Teng guessed that it was this one, and Gu Chen thought it was the one closest to his father's level.
For a short time.
The eleven audience members present had already realized that this unattractive and thin young man was a big demon king, just like Xu Teng.
Xu Teng has heard a most simple and popular version of Richard's version of Symphony No. 5 Liszt solo, which is really playing the struggle against fate, Gu Chen is different, he plays a little sadly, like crying about the torture of fate, struggling in the torture.
Gu Chen's rearrangement of the Fifth Symphony is completely different from Liszt's version, and it is not for nothing that it is so tragic and gloomy.
It was an indiscriminate ravage and massacre.
By the end of the first movement, almost all the girls were very sad, and a few of them had already begun to sob, and they couldn't even figure out why they were crying, which was so nice to hear.
The second and third movements are played even darker by the Great Demon King, almost like a cry of his devastated teenage years.
Until, Gu Chen began to cheer up.
The fourth movement becomes calm, cheerful with a ray of hope, leaving the world in which he has sunk into pain, towards the world of mediocrity, but joy.
More than half an hour of solo music silenced the entire practice room, at first with a few girls crying, and then after a long listening session.
The Great Demon King finished playing, and sat there, silent, not moving.
Xia Li held her cheeks, sat quietly beside Xu Teng, snuggled him slightly, and sighed softly.
She and Xu Teng both understood that Gu Chen's childhood and adolescence were very painful, and he was forced by his parents to practice the piano every day, and no matter how hard he practiced or tried, he couldn't satisfy his parents.
Xu Teng thought of another thing, Gu Chen was a shorthand maniac.
He is a shorthand maniac, this is for exams and study, for the convenience of work in the future, Gu Chen is different, just to memorize piano scores.
