Section 243: Scoring
When Norman and the others entered, there was no one on the innermost stage of Hall One, and soon after they sat down, they heard a curtain call on the side of the stage.
Below are members of the Withering Flowers of Esbjerg City, Clifford Anderson, Darren Martin, and Gabriel Robinson, who are presenting a string ensemble entitled "Autumn Sun." β
The voice of this newspaper was quite loud, and the loud voice was heard very clearly by Norman in the far corner of this side.
After the man had finished speaking, three men came up from one side of the stage.
The instruments used by the trio are violin and piano, and like all professional music performers, they bring their own instruments.
The violin is okay, it's so big, it's not troublesome to carry, but the piano is really choked enough, and four or five people carefully moved it up, and the posture is not cheap.
Once the instruments were in place, the three of them took their places, gave each other a few signals, and began their playing.
The building of Concert Hall 1 has been specially designed by craftsmen for musical performances, which can put the sound of music on the stage to the maximum and clear to the ears of all the audience present, so that the performance of the three people can be heard very clearly by everyone in the audience, and all kinds of details can be captured in detail, so as not to miss the slightest excitement and shortcomings.
"It's not as good as Jebel Danner, but Esbjerg's music vibe is good. β
After listening for a while, the two judges sitting in front of Norman whispered.
After one of them expressed his opinion just now, he continued to whisper: "Let's not talk about the song, even the performance level of these three people has reached a very high level, especially the pianist, this skill cannot be produced without decades of hard work. β
The other nodded in agreement, and said: "That person looks to be in his thirties, obviously he can't work hard for decades, so it shows that his talent is outstanding, talent is the most important thing on the road of music, and such a talent is exactly what Jebel Danner needs." β
"In addition, this piece is also very good, it is not a simple melodic superposition, but it depicts a precise mood, which is not something that can be written casually. Although there are still some problems with this piece itself, and there are many small flaws, it is still very good overall, and I like the warm and relaxed feeling. β
At first, the man also nodded, and took over the conversation: "That's right, especially when combined with the tacit performance of the three of them, it forms a whole, and I like it too." Today's performances are now the best in my opinion, and I will give them the highest score if I don't ......"
The sound amplification architecture of Concert Hall 1 is only for the stage part, and the voices of the people below will not be amplified, because the characteristics of the building will shrink, so the whispering of these two people will not affect the other people's enjoyment of the performance on the stage, and can only be heard by a small area of people around.
Is this show the best?
Norman looked at the two in front of him, then at the stage.
He admits that the performance skills of these three people are better than most of the music performers of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe, and this "Autumn Warm Sun", which should be an original song, is also much better than Fitzgeler's original song, but the performance skills of those three people are so good that they cannot reach the point of his appreciation, and this original song is not in Norman's eyes, I only think that I can listen to it.
It has to be said that Norman's ears have been nourished by those music masters on earth.
It's not the first time Delvik has been a judge, and he knows the process of the festival every year, so he listens while he already picks up the pen in front of him and writes something on paper.
This is the content of the judges' scores, each program must be written, and it is scored on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. In addition to the scores, the judges also have to write down some of their own experiences and the starting point of the score, which is the biggest headache for Delvik every year: you let him forge alchemy, he is good at it, and he can do it with his eyes closed, but isn't it embarrassing for him if you ask him to write a music review?
Just then, Delvik noticed Norman sitting next to him, and he had a flash of inspiration.
"Alan, what do you think of this piece? How would you rate the highest score of 10?"
He's a waste utility, let's see if Norman can say something to help him, it's good to help naturally, and if he can't help, he won't lose anything, and he can chat with Norman a few more words, and get closer to the relationship, so that he can better use the alchemy skills of the Richardson family from Norman in the future, no matter how you think about it, it's all earned.
Norman looked around and saw that Able had fallen asleep.
Although Abel also knows how to appreciate music, but the lack of rest in the past two days has made his mind full of sleepiness now, how can he still enjoy music? For Abel now, the soothing mood of "Autumn Warm Sun" is simply a lullaby, which has already made him fall asleep.
As for Jason, Delvik's apprentice, the big man apparently had no musical cells, his head tilted back in his chair, his eyes closed in a daze, and he seemed to be about to fall asleepβwhich was very much in line with the previous two musicians' usual impression of a blacksmith.
Norman originally wanted to continue studying the magic pool, and he was too lazy to take Riedelvik's stubble, but seeing that no one could take the pot, he had to take it himself.
"It's okay, you can listen to it, 6 points is about the same. β
The voices of the two men in front of them lowered.
Delvik continued, "Tell me about it, why do you score a six?"
He is now like a kid who doesn't know anything about exams and only cheats, and when he catches someone who can cheat, he copies the answers, regardless of whether the person's answers are right or wrong, and don't let him use his own brains anyway.
Norman has been busy with the magic pool for the past two days, and the music is about the same as when he first arrived in Jebel Danner, and he hasn't improved much, and you ask him to grade it, and he still plays very accurately in his standard system, but if you want him to tell the reason, then it won't work.
He's just a fast food eater of music, and he has no foundation at all, so how can he comment professionally? Before, Fitzgeler relied entirely on the help of the Knights Templar, but now the Knights Templar ignored him, and he immediately stopped eating, so he had to play on his own.
"The two people who played the violin played too slowly, and the sound of playing the piano was not loud enough,"
Norman rambled casually.
Anyway, Delvik is a blacksmith, and the two of them are just two laymen's small talk, and they don't have to take it too seriously.
"There is also a problem with the song, it is too slow, and the listener wants to sleep, but the most deducted points is that the person who plays the piano is not good-looking, which visually affects the mood of appreciating the music, so that the whole performance is deducted points, and it should be better to change to a good-looking person, but it is not good, you can add more body movements to make up for it, but he just sits there and plays the piano......"
The more Norman said this, the more outrageous it became, and he was able to pull about the appearance of a good musical work, which made the two judges in front of him unbearable.
They heard Norman say that this piece was just "okay", and they were shocked, thinking that this blacksmith was a hidden music master, so they lowered their voices to hear what kind of high arguments Norman could have, but they didn't expect to hear a lot of high arguments and a lot of crooked arguments.
However, they were probably afraid that the two rude blacksmiths, who looked stronger than the other, would beat them up, so they did not clash head-on, but continued to whisper to each other, but their voices were slightly higher so that the two vulgar hillbillies behind them could hear them.
"The artistic conception of this piece needs a melodious and soothing rhythm, and once it is fast, it will be wrong. β
That's right, but for many people, the artistic conception of this piece is too lofty, and they can't experience it, let alone appreciate it. β
"Yes, like the servant in my house, he doesn't appreciate the 'Sigh of the Chant' for him, but the vulgar ballads, which he listens to with relish, what can we say about that? β
"Who's to say it's not? This song "Autumn Sun" is exactly such a piece, and I don't think it's as good as "The Sigh of the Chant", but it's undoubtedly very good, and I think it's reasonable to give it a score of 9. β
......
Delvik and Norman could hear the two in front of them singing and harmonizing clearly.
Norman was not stupid, and immediately heard that the two were mocking them, but he didn't do anything about it...... What are you going to do? Beat these two up? Come on, he's not the stunned guy who just came out of the countryside, and what is there to compete with these two ordinary people? It's like being bitten by an ant, do you have to go out of your way to step on that ant to be happy? People who really think like that probably have a bit of a psychological problem.
So Norman didn't hear it at all, didn't pay attention to it at all, and it was at this time that he somewhat understood Chen Qinghe's thoughts when he looked at human beings.
Delvik pretended not to hear.
Jebel Danna is a very peculiar city.
In other places, the status of Delvik, who is also a master of forging and alchemy, is definitely higher than that of these people who can only play repertoire, but in Jebel Danner, it is the opposite, these people who are obsessed with music, painting, sculpture and other traditional art projects have the highest social status, Delvik can mix in as a craftsman to get to his current status, but he can't compare with these people's social status, people want to despise him, he can only let others despise him.
There were many scenes in the corner of the four people, but the performance of the three people on the stage was unaffected, continued, and ended soon.
Most of the people in Hall 1 seemed to have the same idea as Norman and the two judges in front of them, and when the three men had finished their performances, they applauded loudly, but the three people on the stage were able to hold their breath, not very excited, but only bowed down politely in thanks, as if they had expected such a scene.
After that, they went off the stage, and the staff came to collect the scores given to them by the judges.
Because of Norman's answers that can be copied, Delvik's score is quite happy, not entangled at all, and the staff handed over the paper as soon as they came, which was much happier than in previous years - in previous years, when did he not hold back for a long time like constipation?
can be so happy, Delvik doesn't care if Norman is talking nonsense or not, anyway, he just came to mix and make up the numbers, so he simply listened to Norman's nonsense all the way, and was naturally despised by the two in front of him several times, and then the two didn't even despise it, it seems that there is really nothing to say about the blacksmith in the back.
Listen to what the blacksmith has to say?
"The violin is not in the right position, 4 points. β
"I didn't jump up when I was playing the drums, three points. β
"It's too ugly, 5 points. β
"How can this piece be written completely? It should be broken in the middle of writing, 4 points. β......
There are all kinds of reasons, but none of them are serious, and the scores given are horribly low, and none of them have a score of 6.
For this kind of person, the two judges in front of him didn't bother to mock openly and secretly, and Delvik in the back was also happy, copying Norman's answers to the sky, whatever.
In this way, after one performance after another, a name made Norman look stunned.
"Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe", a name that sounded extremely vulgar to Norman, came out of the mouth of the announcer, and then a long list of names from the mouth of the announcer made everyone at the scene stunned.
"Burris Parker, Fitzgelle Williams, Humphrey Lewis...... DeWitt Nelson......"
It took a long time for the announcer to report the lineup, and finally reported the total number of people, and the judges of the province counted it.
The symphony brought by the above 23 is called "Victory". β
23 people playing!
This unprecedented number was dropped into the concert hall like a depth charge, blowing up all the judges present.
Especially after seeing an endless stream of people coming to the stage from one side of the stage, and soon more than 10 people, the scene seemed to be transformed into a vegetable market.
Everyone was whispering about how there could be so many people playing the strange repertoire together, and the buzzing sound was incessant, as if a group of mages were flying by from a low altitude.
Norman, on the other hand, looked at the stage without saying a word.
Even if he wasn't there, they still got on their own......
