Sure enough, after completing two sets of listening tests smoothly, the third group of melodies was also difficult for Ye Zi to play.
Even in the end, Liu Qi played a little scoundrel and randomly knocked two bars on the guitar, Ye Zi still knocked out this so-called "melody" exactly the same after thinking about it for a while.
There was also a hiccup between the competitions.
After Ye Zi played the first melody given by Liu Qi, Liu Qi couldn't sit still anymore. He specially ran to Ye Zi's side and carefully observed the guitar in Ye Zi's hand.
Seeing the small red cotton trademark inside the guitar cabinet, Liu Qi was really puzzled. Why is such a simple-looking and ordinary domestic noodle guitar comparable to or even surpassing the precious guitar in his hand? !
Underneath that unkempt appearance (this is of course compared to the guitar in Liu Qi's hand), the sound she made was so beautiful that all the listeners present couldn't help but be intoxicated!
Liu Qi didn't understand this truth in the end, but such a classical guitar with a wonderful sound also further increased the pressure on Liu Qi.
ββββββββββ
Ye Zi's listening test has been completed, of course, there is no ambiguity or confusion, which makes Liu Qi have no room for criticism. There are so many people and so many pairs of eyes staring at the scene, there is no absolutely strong reason Liu Qi dares to come nonsense, there is no doubt that he will pass the test with a full score.
Liu Qi no longer dared to underestimate Ye Zi in his heart. However, Liu Qi is still full of confidence that he can also pass the test with full marks and play a draw with Ye Zi!
After a short break, Ye Zi sat on the ground, picked up his guitar, and raised his hand to signal to the classmates around him.
The crowd quieted down and waited to continue watching the unique guitar competition.
"Xiao Yezi, make it difficult, so he can't hear it! Quack! In the crowd, Li Aoxiang's ugly male duck voice came out again.
Ye Zi smiled and nodded, but his heart was very sober.
With such a level of listening test, it should not be difficult for Master Yepes to be high. Otherwise, Liu Qi would have been swept away by the master a long time ago.
But since it's a competition between the two sides, it's just a matter of going all out.
ββββββββββ
Placing the precious guitar in his hand carefully and securely on the guitar stand, Liu Qi sat back on the piano bench, also with his back to Ye Zi.
When he was ready, Ye Zi gently put his hands on the guitar and said, "Liu Qi, I'm ready to start." Now I'll give you the standard tone first, and you're good at itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Wait." Liu Qi seemed to suddenly remember something, and when Ye Zi was just about to play, he turned around and interrupted hurriedly: "Did I listen to the standard tone for you just now?" β
Ye Zi shook his head: "No." β
"Really?"
Ye Zi said angrily: "KAO! I've heard it all and you're going to talk about it, is it interesting? I don't believe you can ask everyone, just ask. β
Turning to the crowd, Ye Zi asked loudly: "Let's talk about it, did Liu Qi listen to a standard tone for me before he started playing just now, and then start the listening test?" β
Liu Qi also turned to the crowd, and everyone began to talk.
"Is there one? Doesn't seem to have one, right? Why don't I remember? β
"No, no."
"I remember that in Ye Zi's answer, there seems to be a standard tone."
"As soon as the kid came up, he started playing the guitar, and then Ye Zi replied, how can you listen to the standard tone first."
"Well, I remember, no. That Liu Qi played when he came up, and Ye Zi directly began to listen. β
"That's it."
"I said everyone, who will popularize science first, what is the standard tone?"
"Stupid! Is it a standard tone, it must be used as a standard tone, I don't know? β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Listening to everyone's gossip, Liu Qi seemed to have been struck by lightning, his body shook a little, and he kept muttering to himself: "Didn't give the standard tone? γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»I didn't even give the standard tone! β
Ye Zi was impatient: "If you don't give it, you don't give it, what's the big deal!" Alright, let's move on, you're not going to spend the night here tonight, are you? β
Liu Qi didn't seem to hear Ye Zi's words, and suddenly rushed to Ye Zi with his eyes open, his mouth "beeped", and then looked at Ye Zi nervously: "Sue me, what sound did I make just now?" β
"It's nothing, it's your fart. Well, it stinks and stinks! Hahaγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zi sneered.
"No kidding, tell me what I just sounded." Liu Qi was anxious, grabbed Ye Zi's shoulder, and hurriedly added: "This is very important!" It's important!! β
Ye Zi's shoulders shook Liu Qi away, looked at his excited face suspiciously, and replied casually: "Between F and G, the small character group is between F and G, and it is a little more dependent on G." I said Liu Qi, even if it's not a fart, it's out of tune, okay, you're fine, right? β
"Sure enoughγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» sure so!"
Liu Qi staggered, shook his head and muttered as if he was lost: "It doesn't make sense!" Why? Why is he so? γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»β
The crowd broke out.
"Are you better than you? If you don't compare, admit defeat quickly! "The person who said this must be a student of the Chinese department.
Not to be outdone, the support team of the picture and affection department: "Come on, Liu Qi!" β
"Who is this guy? Is it really not sick? Don't you have a disease that you haven't found out, right? The school doesn't care? "Huh? ~~ This is a soy sauce crowd that I don't know where it came from.
On the lawn, almost everyone was expressing their opinions, and it was a mess.
Ye Zi is really speechless, what kind of competition is this, what kind of moth is this Liu Qi?
Gotta wait!
ββββββββββ
After a while, the competition continued under the urging of the onlookers.
Liu Qi's appearance was a bit lower than Ye Zi's expectations, which was not quite in line with his status as a master disciple.
Ye Zi originally expected that the two sides should be tied in this game, but now it seems that he should be the winner.
The three projects were carried out one by one, and Liu Qi did not make any mistakes. After all, although this kind of listening competition was born out of the entrance examination of professional music colleges, it is not very difficult for musical geniuses like Ye Zi and Liu Qi. Normally, for the two of them, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to pass the test with a perfect score.
Of course, Ye Zi will not keep his hands, and he will do his best when he competes. What overtones, portamento, jazz chords, special chords used in heavy metal, etc., are all there, and even in the melody and playing this link, Ye Zi also learned from Liu Qi and played a rogue so-called "melody", there are comings and goings!
Even so, Liu Qi can also be completely matched.
But in terms of the speed of answering, Ye Zi threw him off at least two or three streets.
Liu Qi answered very slowly, and often everyone waited and urged him to ask before he answered. It's like his whole mind is completely off the competition.
Liu Qi's expression made Ye Zi extremely amused.
Soon after his rebirth, Ye Zi was pleasantly surprised to find that he had an absolute sense of sound in this life.
It's certainly a great gift!
But now, Liu Qi is so depressed and distracted because he discovered this, and his performance during the competition is greatly reduced, which is far lower than the strength he should have.
This really made Ye Zi speechless and funny.
The absolute tone is great, of course, but it's by no means the only guarantee of success!
On the road of music, if you want to truly step on the peak, you can only truly realize it by adding your talent to unremitting efforts and perseverance! You can't have one without the other!
Any talent, including voice, musicality, and of course, absolute tone, is just a basis for success, an aid! Just having talent and not working hard is just a mirror!
With Liu Qi's heart and appearance, his future achievements in music, Ye Zi can predict it now.
But now, none of that matters. The important thing is this game - Ye Zi won!
Liu Qi also nodded helplessly and admitted defeat.
Although it can be seen from his expression that he is not so convinced in his heart.
ββββββββββ
Now that the first game has been won, then the next competition, let's cut through the mess quickly!
For a creature like a rival, pity and sympathy are absolutely unattainable!
Ye Zi secretly made up his mind in his heart.
In the second game, Ye Zi made the question.
Ye Zi didn't think too much about it, and said casually. With a game in hand, his heart must be very serious.
"In the second game, we will not compare the boring things such as listening and racing, but let's try the performance of the music. No matter how solid the foundation is and how well the technique is practiced, it all comes down to performance. β
"Liu Qi, do you agree with my statement?"
"Of course." Liu Qi nodded.
After the end of the previous round, everyone took a little rest.
In fact, Ye Zi and the others could have continued immediately, but many students in the crowd needed to solve their physiological problems, but they were reluctant to leave, for fear of missing the wonderful moment, so everyone unanimously asked for a truce.
After this period of rest, Liu Qi's spirit is much better, and he seems to be a lot more uplifted. What Ye Zi said was very true, and Liu Qi had no reason to disagree.
Ye Zi continued: "Instrumental performance is a difficult project to evaluate, and everyone will have their own opinions. Unless the difference in strength between the two sides is large enough to a certain extent, there will be a clear distinction. β
"Therefore, this game is very unfavorable."
Liu Qi continued to nod, and what Ye Zi said was reasonable.
"All of a sudden, we couldn't find anyone to judge with whom we could all agree."
"Of course, your teacher, Master Yepes, is qualified to judge, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» we all know that this is impossible." Ye Zi made a little joke: "So I want to play the same piece to do the content of the competition." As for judging, it's mostly up to us. β
"We score each other with our own vision, realm, and musical accomplishment. As long as you give enough reasons, you can score 100 or 0 points. β
"Liu Qi, what do you think?"
Liu Qi didn't answer yet, and the audience quit.
"Ye Zi, you underestimate us too much, right? We can score it too! β
"The eyes of the masses are bright! That's what the Chairman taught us! β
"Strongly requested to participate in the judging! Slam the shady! Slam Private Deals! β
"Be just! Be transparent! Get involved! Let's get involved! β
"Little leaf, be careful with your sheets!"
"We can score it with applause! Don't ignore the masses! β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The crowd is surging!
Ye Zi stood up, pressed down on his hand with a smile, and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Ladies and gentlemen, I definitely didn't mean to ignore everyone. β
"And what do you mean?"
"I know what I mean." Ye Zi raised his voice slightly: "I said just now that it is difficult to quantify and judge the performance of musical instruments. It doesn't have an absolute standard, unlike mathematics, where 1+1 is necessarily equal to 2. β
"When it comes to music, everyone has their own personal preferences, and it's not right or wrong. As you just said, you can judge by applause. But if this is the case, I think Liu Qi is going to shout that it is unfair. Because the Chinese students present definitely accounted for the majority, will you applaud Liu Qi's performance? β
"No!"
"How is that possible?"
"Don't be a traitor!!"
There was a mess of answers, and everyone in the Chinese department laughed.
"Just kidding, don't mind Liu Qi." Ye Zi smiled and raised his hand to Liu Qi: "So if you judge it with applause, it will definitely make the losing side cry out for injustice." β
This time, the crowd burst into laughter.
On the one hand, Ye Zi said that Liu Qi should not mind, and on the other hand, he clearly hinted that Liu Qi would lose this game.
This person is so bad!
Liu Qi went through the fluctuation of the first game just now, and at this moment, in the face of Ye Zi's secret verbal pressure, his expression was natural and there was no pressure.
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»But that's not to say that you can't do anything but watch us play." Ye Zi continued: "There are actually a lot of things that everyone can do. β
"The first thing, that's to wait a while, please cheer us on with a round of applause!"
"Of course, if I give more applause, I will be very satisfied, very happy, very happy!"
In the crowd, laughter rang out again.
Seeing Ye Zi dealing with the crowd with ease, Liu Qi was envious.
ββββββββββ
"You stinky and shameless, you're about to applaud before you compete. Brothers and sisters who are in love, no one is allowed to applaud him for a while, do you hear me? β
A voice suddenly shouted in the crowd, and everyone looked sideways. It turned out that it was Zhang Shaojie, the black fat man who was frightened to the ground by Ye Zi's eyes just now.
Guy who owes to clean up!
Ye Zi said a word in his heart, and he didn't care anymore.
Zhang Shaojie is such a good thing, if you have the opportunity to touch it, you can clean it up, there is no need to worry about him now.
Ye Zi continued casually.
"In addition to this, there is one more thing that needs to be relied on by everyone's help, and that is to supervise both of us."
When everyone heard this, they were excited.
"Tell me, what kind of supervision method is it?"
"Yes, let's talk about it!"
Ye Zi pressed his hand down again to stop the commotion of the crowd.
"As I said just now, this game is mainly judged by ourselves."
"As you know, people are selfish, and they inevitably think a little more about themselves. Is it human nature! In the judgment, you will definitely tend to be a little more inclined to yourself, which will inevitably lower the opponent's score. β
"So, it's up to everyone to help us balance and help us solve it."
After a slight pause, and when everyone understood what they said, Ye Zi continued.
"After a while, we will talk about each other's strengths and weaknesses. You can compare it with your own opinion to see if you are deliberately belittling each other. β
"If anything, I believe that under the supervision of so many people, it must not be able to escape. That's what I'm asking you to help you do. β
The crowd was satisfied.
"Good! That's it! β
"That's right! You can't leave us alone! β
"Haha, let's be a judge too, it's fun!"
"Alright, let's get started, we'll hear it later!"
"Little leaf, play well! If you don't play well, your sheets will be gone! Quack! β
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"How about Liu Qi, do you have no opinion?" Ye Zi turned around and asked.
"I'm okay with that, let's get started. Which tune did you choose? Liu Qi took a deep breath with a grim expression.
"You'll find out in a moment, hehe." Ye Zi nodded and chuckled, and faced the audience again: "Okay, we're about to start, please be quiet." β
This sentence worked better than anything else, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
"I've thought of the repertoire to play."
"Liu Qi is a disciple of Mr. Yepes, a famous Spanish guitar player. And I, as for me, reaped my love tonight. As he spoke, Ye Zi looked at Yin Lihua with a smile.
The crowd laughed good-naturedly.
"So, I've picked one of Maestro Yepes's most well-known songs, 'The Romance of Love.' Use this piece of music to test the sincerity of our respective loves. β
With a "boom", the crowd stirred.
This piece of music can be regarded as one of the most well-known and favorite classical guitar songs of Chinese people, and almost everyone can hum two lines of melody. Ye Zi chose this piece of music as the repertoire for the second round of competition, and everyone raised their hands in favor. At least everyone is familiar with it and can understand it. The performance is good or bad, and everyone can basically tell that he is ugly.
ββββββββββ
"Alright, let's get started."
"In the last game, I competed first, so this game will be Liu Qi's turn to come first."
Waiting for the commotion of the crowd to pass, Ye Zi announced loudly.
"Come on, students, let the applause ring! Give Liu Qi a little motivation! Don't take care of my face! β
After speaking, Ye Zi grimaced, walked to Yin Lihua's side, and sat down with her little hand.
Amid the laughter, applause rang out like a tidal wave.
Glancing at Ye Zi with mixed feelings, Liu Qi hugged the guitar in his arms, prepared the posture for playing, and quietly waited for the applause to stop.
The crowd gradually fell silent.
In the night sky, the moon, which had been obscured by a light cloud just now, was now quietly revealing half of its face from the outer edge of the light cloud. A few mischievous stars were blinking and sneaking a peek at the black crowd on the grass. Even the wind came to join in the fun! It blew merrily and flew over and over, dancing briskly around the quietly waiting crowd.
The moon and stars are scarce, the breeze is coming, and the beautiful scenery is beautiful, this is the right time!
Liu Qi's performance began in this picturesque scenery.
