Chapter 470: The Reason for the Achievement
"Your metaphor is clever, they are indeed fresh blood, and you are also fresh blood. Do you have a favorite harp player? Alamo asked.
"Everyone at Plato's Academy knows that I used to have very poor academic performance, and I have only worked hard in the last two years, and I really don't have time to learn an instrument. Of course, when I was a child, I used to go to Lion Harbor a lot, where there were artists from all over the world, and I could always hear beautiful melodies. So, I can tell how I feel about the piece or the melody, but I can't really do it if I have to choose a harp player I like. Because, I've never heard any of them play the harp. Su Ye said.
"I forgot that, you're a magic-focused kid. As priests of the Temple of the Sun, music was a compulsory subject for us, so we often listened to harp playing, and I actually heard 7 of the 16 people below. Alamo said.
"Oh, so the Alamo priests must have a favorite harpist?" Su Ye asked.
"Of course. My favourite is Kakauer, who was unknown until he was twenty years old and won the Harp Championship at Delos. Recently, however, there is a rookie who has risen to prominence, and he is your Andre of Athens, who is not as mature as Kakauer, but more passionate, and perhaps his status as a magician has given him a different inspiration. It is said that he will play an original harp song here this time. You know, if you play an original song in the competition, the jury will give extra points. Alamo said.
Su Ye smiled: "I did see Andre in Athens, but I really didn't know that he had a talent for harp, then I hope he won the championship, after all, we are all Athenians, and we are all magicians." ”
Su Ye looked at Andre.
Andre in the arena also looked at Su Ye.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Andre seemed to have forgotten what he had done.
And Su Ye seems to have forgotten that the villain of "Zachary" is called Andre.
"If he does win the championship, you Athenians will take fifteen of the seventeen championships. Well...... You Athenians are too greedy, people say, aren't they? ”
"Yes......"
Non-Athenians everywhere laughed and shouted.
Su Ye immediately said: "But the seventeen champions are all Greeks. ”
"Talking!" Alamo was very satisfied with Su Ye's on-the-spot response, "Then, the referee and the contestants are ready, please start playing the harp!" The jewel in the crown of music will shine in the light of the sun! ”
Alamo's voice was very loud and woke up many viewers.
However, many spectators took a look at the music competition as it continued, bowing their heads, tilting their backs, tilting their heads, and continuing to sleep.
The 16 harpists play in turn, each with a magic mustache attached to it, and the sound can be heard throughout the audience.
When it was Kakauer's turn, Su Ye was fascinated even if he didn't know much about the harp, and this person's skills were indeed extremely skillful, which could be called perfect.
Subsequently, the judges began to comment and finally gave the highest score in the audience so far.
Alamo was pleased with the high score, saying: "This score is almost no different from his race in Delos. Su Ye, you haven't heard Kakauer's harp before, but now that you have heard it, what do you think? ”
"As you say, he is skillful, experienced, and has a power that touches people's hearts, and he seems to be plucking not the strings, but my heartstrings. Listening to his performance, I almost saw the scene of him practicing the harp assiduously, and at the same time, I almost saw him constantly thinking, constantly trying all kinds of fingering, constantly playing and listening in various ways. Su Ye said.
Kakauer's face was surprised, and then he nodded slightly.
"Huh? Kakauer agrees with you. Su Ye, I am impressed with you again. Alamo was surprised.
"As I have said a few times before, you may not be able to achieve success by practicing for a long time, and you may not be able to achieve success by practicing for a long time, but if you practice and play for a long time, you will definitely achieve success if you add thinking and methods. You just said that Kakauer was not famous when he was young, and he only achieved achievements in his twenties, so I have a vague feeling that he should have achieved his achievements today through continuous thinking and the accumulation of various methods. Su Ye said.
"Kakauer, is Su Ye really right? If you're right, you nod. Alamo said.
Cacowle nodded vigorously.
"Kakauer, can you tell me where Suye is right?" The moderator was curious.
The referee immediately handed the magic beard to Kakauer.
Music competitions are different from other competitions, sports competitions focus more on confrontation, while music competitions focus on appreciation, so whether it is a judge, a host or a contestant, there is a lot of time to speak.
Kakaul saluted slightly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I had never seen Su Ye, I would have suspected that he had observed my practice." He's right, as you said, I grew up practicing the harp, but until I was a teenager, I was still said to be average. Later, by chance, I encountered a difficult performance problem, and then I thought hard all day, and I figured out that my performance level had improved slightly. Since then, I've been thinking about playing problems for a long time. Not only that, but I also found that I would improve more significantly by using different methods and in different environments than by boring practices. ”
"It's unbelievable, are these two geniuses telepathic?" Alamo looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye smiled: "The two of us are neither geniuses nor telepathic, but the two of us are learning and progressing in a similar way. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other.
"Well, it seems that successful people often have similar reasons for success. Thank you Kakauer for bringing us the beautiful melody, and now I invite the next contestant to play ......"
One player after another played, and soon it was the turn of No. 14 Andre.
Su Ye looked at Andre and listened to his music quietly, he was a little disgusted at first, but he soon realized that this emotion would affect his judgment, and it was not suitable to show hostility now, so he kept a calm mind and listened carefully.
When Andre finished playing, applause erupted in many parts of the audience, no less loud than Cacow's.
The Athenian aristocracy, in particular, clapped their hands red.
The referee commented, and no one said the shortcomings, all gave a very high evaluation, and then gave a rating.
In the end, a game-high score appeared.
Cheers rang out.
Anyone who knows the harp knows that the latter two players can't compare with Andre at all, and Andre will inevitably win the championship.
Host Alamo smiled: "Sure enough, as I guessed, Andre and Kakauer are both favorites. The judges gave Andre a high score for their support of originality and protection of young people, but I must tell you the truth that Andre is slightly inferior to Cacowle in terms of playing skills, and I think Andre himself admits it. ”
Andre nodded generously and thanked the host.
Alamo continued: "However, Andre has a higher score than Kakauer and there is no problem. Because as the judges said, this is an original harp song, and secondly, Andre is more emotional, this little guy is too good at mobilizing the emotions of the audience, he seems to have a magical magic. Su Ye, what do you think of this fellow Athenian countryman? ”
Su Ye thought for a while and said, "Not surprisingly, I, a fellow villager from Athens, is likely to win the harp championship." Congratulations, Andrew. ”
Andre bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude.
"Suffice it to say that no matter how good the bottom two are, Andre will be on the podium, so let's keep racing and see you on the podium."
The game continues.
Everything was as everyone expected, and the ratings of the latter two players were not high.
In the end, Andre won the harp competition and Kakauer won the second place in the harp competition.
Amid the melodious music, Andre and two others walked onto the podium.
The sleeping people in the audience were woken up one after another.
All the competitions are coming to an end and the closing ceremony is about to begin.
The host Alamo took Su Ye to the podium and watched the priest present awards to the three people.
When Andre received the championship wreath, the championship trophy, and the championship reward, the civilians in the audience reacted mediocrely, but the nobles roared loudly.
The cheers of most of the nobles were far louder than when they were cheering for Su Ye before, and every nobleman seemed to use all their strength to shout so that their faces were red and their necks were thick.
Su Ye just smiled and watched quietly.
After the awards, everyone waited for a while.
But after a while, nothing happened.
As with the first two musical projects, there was no godsend.
Many sighed softly, and a look of loss appeared on Andre's face. But he quickly perked up and smiled.
His afterglow fell on Su Ye beside him, his eyes darkened, and then quickly brightened.
The sympathetic look on the presenter's face was fleeting, but he didn't take it to heart. The reason is simple, not all champions can get God's gift, they have to be very exciting.
Even if it is a pervert like Su Ye, he can only get God's gift when he wins the championship or breaks the world record.
Alamo then asked the runners-up and runners-up to speak, and finally asked the champion Andre to give his impressions.
Once again, the nobles shouted loudly, and some even called Ander the light of the nobility.
Andre put on his magic mustache, took a deep breath, smiled joyfully, and said, "Thank you to the gods, to Apollo, to the sun god, to the great Greece, to the judges, judges, priests, and spectators who gave me this opportunity to get on this stage." At the same time, I would like to thank the ancestors of the Tros family, their will and glory, their taste and virtue, for guiding me into the temple of music, and my father and mother, who nurtured me and allowed me to learn the music I love with peace of mind. Finally, thank you to my harp teacher, and thank you to every one of my classmates and friends. This championship belongs to me, and to all of us who love music! ”
Applause rang out, cheers erupted.
Alamo nodded in satisfaction.
Su Ye was still smiling and watching quietly.
Suddenly, Andrea's face darkened, he sighed, and said, "Actually, it was a fluke that I won the championship this time. ”
