Chapter Seventy-Five: Madness

"Yufan, the game hall has a new belt, it's very fun, today is Saturday, can you come and play?"

"No, Xiaoyong, you can play with Dongzhe and them, I'm too busy here to leave." Liu Yufan waved his hand and continued to struggle with Beethoven's minor sonata in G major.

"Son, tomorrow your fourth uncle's child is full moon, come to eat with us at noon."

"Go ahead, Mom, I'll deal with it at home." Liu Yufan shouted while taking another Hanon to practice fingering.

"Xiaofan, stop talking, let's eat!"

"Wait for me in a while, I'll come after this practice!" Liu Yufan ran quickly with his hands on the piano keys, thinking that the problem of unstable wrists that Jiang Ya told him last time must be overcome today.

……

At least eight hours of practice a day, not for fun.

During this time, Liu Yufan was really tired enough!

Because he still has to go to school, Liu Yufan can only squeeze time after school. I get up early in the morning to practice, finish eating and practicing at noon, and practice until ten o'clock in the evening, and as for Saturday and Sunday, I spend almost all day in front of the piano. Seeing Liu Yufan practicing the piano so frantically, Liu Jianjun and Chu Qing were a little worried, could it be that this kid went crazy?

However, except for Liu Yufan who doesn't like to be disturbed when he is practicing, this child looks quite normal at other times. I wanted to persuade him not to work so hard, but people gave them the top three every time they took the exam, and there seemed to be no excuse to persuade him.

Chu Qing didn't understand, and Liu Jianjun didn't understand, it was just a hobby, why did his children have to put so much effort into it.

They don't understand how much it takes to take a career path, and Liu Yufan didn't explain it to them, and when he did, they couldn't understand it.

The arcade developed rapidly, and it didn't take long for a dozen new machines to be added. Now, the one that Liu Yufan is doing in Zhumaying Street has become the largest game hall in the street. Of course, looking at making money, there are a few that follow the trend, but they are all small-scale, and there are always more children who want to play games than game consoles, which does not affect the business of the game hall.

Moreover, Liu Yufan was busy and moved the management methods of some Internet cafes in later generations to the game hall.

First of all, the membership system was implemented, once ** 30 yuan, you can become a junior member, enjoy the preferential price of eight cents per hour, pay 50 yuan, you can become a senior member, and the price of the game per hour is as low as seven cents. It seems to lower the price, but it brings more regular customers to the arcade.

Secondly, Liu Yufan asked Wang Xiaoyong and Xue Dongzhe to try to have a competitive competition, and selected a few classic fighting games as competition games, and the victorious players were rewarded with different game times, which made this game hall unparalleled for a while, and became the favorite place for young people to go in their leisure time in ten miles and eight villages near Zhumaying.

With the increase in passenger flow, the income of the game hall is also growing, which can bring Liu Yufan a net income of more than 2,000 yuan every month. Of course, Liu Yufan didn't forget to give some of it to Ma Wendong, so that he could help go to the relevant departments to "run feelings", Ma Wendong didn't be polite to Liu Yufan, investment in this area is a must, in his heart, he has long regarded Liu Yufan as an adult.

For Liu Yufan, Ma Wendong really admires it now. Not to mention Yafan's wedding, just running this game hall in the city brings him an income of four or five thousand yuan every month, which is much better than his previous nonsense. Now, Ma Wendong's little life is not to mention how moisturized, every day the restaurant is down, the wine is drunk, the gold chain and gold ring are all hung up, and he hugs before going out every day, not to mention that there are more than a dozen brothers, so that every time Liu Yufan sees him, he laughs at him more and more like a ** big brother, he doesn't care, haha laughs.

In the blink of an eye, April is the day when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and for millions of children who study art, April is a special month.

The annual vocal music (instrumental) examination of the China Music Association and the China Music Academy slowly kicked off in this spring-filled April.

Today is Saturday, there is still a week before the exam, early in the morning, Liu Yufan took the morning bus to Fu'an County.

"Yu Fan, you don't have to do too much practice this week, the proficiency of the song is basically no problem, adjust your state." Watching Liu Yufan skillfully complete the scales, arpeggios and four tunes for the exam, Jiang Ya said with a smile. From her point of view, there is really nothing to find fault with Liu Yufan's performance.

"Hehe, okay, sister, but I'm used to eight hours a day, and this time I have reduced the amount of tasks, and I'm really not used to it." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"You, don't try too hard! Although it is time to lay the foundation, the appropriate amount of practice should be larger, but it should also be moderate. Eight hours a day is not absolute, and people can't stand it every day, and they have to come according to their own situation, you know? Looking at Liu Yufan's somewhat thin face, Jiang Ya said with some distress. Now she realized that she still underestimated this student a little.

When she heard that Liu Yufan wanted to take the alto high school, she asked Liu Yufan to practice the piano for eight hours a day, and she didn't think how long he could last, after all, he was a child who had just entered the first year of junior high school, how much perseverance he could have. Four hours a day is not easy enough.

But she didn't expect that in a total of four months from the year before the present, this child actually persevered. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew that Liu Yufan would not lie to her, this kid, he was really desperate!

Practicing the piano is always a reward for every penny. Practicing for two hours a day is naturally better than practicing for an hour a day. Liu Yufan's crazy practice for more than 100 days has also achieved remarkable results, not only according to Jiang Ya's requirements, he has completed 599 brilliantly, and even 849 etudes have been played to the later stage. You must know that Jiang Ya's requirements for Liu Yufan are not just as simple as "playing down", but to play them "expressively" in strict accordance with the speed, strength and expression on the score, which can be said to be the highest requirement for a piece. The difference between these two requirements is very different.

If a piano teacher wants to catch up with the schedule and let a child quickly practice the piano etude of Czerny 599, he may be able to do it in two or three months, but most of the children play the back and forget the front, or they stutter and barely "pass"; And if you want to be like Jiang Ya, who completes the technical difficulty of Czerny 599 in a down-to-earth and uncompromised manner, for students of average level, I am afraid it will take a year or even longer, of course, there are few teachers who are willing to do this thankless task.

Because parents don't understand this, they will only see which teacher is fast, the child plays one book after another, and which teacher is slow to speak, and only teaches so many books in a year. The child doesn't understand, the teacher says, "You have finished playing this book", as if he has completed a glorious task, he treats the used book as a "trophy", puts it on the shelf, and will not look at it again, even if there are many technical difficulties in it are vague.

But Liu Yufan's situation is different.

First, there is no parental urging behind him, on the contrary, the family still wishes that he would not practice these things and study hard; Second, he himself understands that if you want to be vague about every technical difficulty, let alone Jiang Ya, you can't get through it yourself!

Therefore, this master and apprentice chose such the most laborious, but the most solid road to walk!

With such a way of practice, in just four months, to such a degree, whether it is Jiang Ya or Liu Yufan, it is enough to be proud!

Liu Yufan finally realized what is the phrase "success = 99% sweat + 1% genius", where is there any genius, every bit of progress depends on his own efforts!

Watching Liu Yufan play the sixth-level tune with a heavy weight, Jiang Ya even had a feeling that in a short time, I am afraid that she will have nothing to teach Liu Yufan, cough, it seems that it is time to find him a higher-level teacher.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Jiang Ya suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Trying to put aside this inexplicable thought in her mind, Jiang Ya got up and said with a smile: "Okay, relax today, let's go, the teacher invites you and Siying to have a big dinner today!" ”

"Okay, eat barbecue!" Liu Yufan immediately responded, then knocked on the door of the other room, and shouted: "Chen Siying, don't practice, go out to eat!" ”

Chen Siying was also preparing for the electronic piano exam during this time, and his and Liu Yufan's class hours did not overlap, but because Liu Yufan was seriously "overtimed" every time he took classes during this time, Chen Siying often encountered the situation that Liu Yufan could not finish the class. Fortunately, she practiced the electronic piano, not in the same room, and wore headphones, so they didn't affect each other. As for Jiang Ya's other students, they usually go to the cultural center in the afternoon.

"Hear me, shout something!" Chen Siying: Now Liu Yufan is very cold. When the eleventh show last year, he said that he would go to eat ice cream together after the end, but this guy didn't even say hello and went to the city, although he later knew that it was Mr. Jiang who took him to buy the piano, but thinking that he was "released pigeon", the little girl was still uncomfortable. Later, although Liu Yufan also invited her a few times, the little girl held a grudge, and when she was unhappy, she turned out the incident and talked about it, Liu Yufan was also very helpless. This girl's temper is weird, she really can't be inferred by common sense, let's talk about learning the piano, obviously she is still a year older than her, but Chen Siying just asked Liu Yufan to call her "senior sister", saying "I learned from Teacher Jiang first", which made Liu Yufan cry and laugh.

"I said junior brother, I heard that you opened that game hall is very popular, and now it has become a big money, I am embarrassed to ask Mr. Jiang to invite you, why don't you invite us." The little girl looked at Liu Yufan and teased.

"Okay, no problem! I'll please, I'll please! Liu Yufan is also a bit of a "rich man" now, he really doesn't care about a meal.

"Come on, you two don't be poor here, hurry up, go out." Seeing these two people bickering when they met, Jiang Ya was angry and funny.

I didn't go far when I was greeted by a figure who greeted three people from a distance, no, to be exact, Jiang Ya.

"Yo, Mr. Jiang, is it so coincidental?"

Liu Yufan glanced up, and the thief smiled and said to Chen Siying: "Look, the treat is here." ”
