Chapter 16 The Orchestra is officially established

Sure enough, as Liu Yi expected.

Things went on for two days.

The number of followers rose again to 50,000.

The number of fans in a live broadcast is quite high.

After all, these all represent the number of people who really recognize Liu Yi's music.

Moreover, there are many passers-by who have a good impression of him in Xia Guo now, and these people are all potential fans.

Even Qiandu Tieba already has Liu Yi.

But there are only a few hundred of them.

October 25th, early in the morning.

Liu Yi said.

125kg。

Very good, lost another 4 kg.

If you continue like this, you will be able to lose less than 100kg in 2 months.

He put on his clothes.

Today is the day of the training session for the school debate team, and those who are selected must attend.

Because in less than half a month, the All-M College Debate Tournament will officially begin.

The school attaches great importance to this competition and specially invited Harvard professors to come and teach.

Oh, by the way, in the last debate, the traditional campus was only Liu Yi and Jones.

The other 3 are all popular campuses.

After a while, Liu Yi and Jones took a bus to the school.

Pushing open the classroom door, the people from the popular campus had already arrived, except for Sophia, the other two glared at Liu Yi fiercely.

Jones whispered to Liu Yi: "Liu, they are still holding grudges, we had better choose a place far away from them to sit." ”

Liu Yi didn't pay attention to Jones's words, walked straight over, and sat next to Sophia.

Jones was a little confused, hesitated inwardly, and chose a position away from others on his own.

In fact, the main purpose of Liu Yi to come to the training class is Sophia.

Debate tournament or something, he doesn't care.

He is now looking for a musician from the popular campus to join his orchestra.

After all, of the 3 pop songs given by the system, 2 have a strong blues style.

It just so happened that Sophia was a good fit.

Before Liu Yi came, he also checked her information.

Jazz all-rounder.

He specializes in piano, drums, guitar, and jazz arrangement, and is also a jazz singer.

Proper high-talent students.

At the age of 17, she began performing mainstream jazz piano music on Broadway.

At the age of 18, he released his first original jazz music.

Once released, it received rave reviews.

She is also an avid fan of electronic jazz and mixed music.

Here, I have to mention jazz.

Jazz originated in Africa.

After fusing blues, ragtime styles, it quickly spread in the United States.

At present, it has developed Dixieland jazz, swing music, mainstream jazz, bibop, modern jazz, free jazz and electronic jazz.

Nowadays, everyone listens to all kinds of electronic music, including the divine comedy of the major charts, and more or less jazz.

Therefore, if Liu Yi wants to complete the performance of pop music in the future, an all-round jazz musician like Sophia is indispensable.

In fact, Jones himself studied jazz.

But his father was a traditional saxophonist, so he had to apply for the traditional department.

As a result, Jones became a scumbag in the traditional department when he entered the school, knowing everything, but not proficient in anything.

This is a common problem for all all-round musicians.

After all, human energy is limited.

Therefore, there are many all-rounders in the popular campus.

The traditional campus side is more inclined to single promotion.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi smiled and said to Sophia beside him: "Have you heard about our performance on Broadway last week?" ”

Good guy, Sophia is different, why did Liu Yi choose to sit next to her.

As a result, after hearing this sentence, I was directly angry to death.

Okay, you're a dog, you sat here to show off.

The news that a few people from the traditional college performed on Broadway has long been spread, and who in the whole school doesn't know?

At this time, I asked knowingly, did I still think that the debate competition was not ruthless enough to humiliate myself at that time?

"You go to die!"

Sophia jumped up, picked up the textbook and smashed it at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was directly stunned.

He hasn't been to school for the past few days, so how did he know that the school had already spread.

He had wanted to open the conversation about it, arouse Sophia's interest, and then slowly persuade her to join the orchestra.

As a result, why did it turn out to be like this?

At this time, Jones, who was sitting in the back, looked happy.

"Good thing I didn't sit down... Liu, you deserve it..."

After Liu Yi's repeated explanations, Sophia was relieved.

"So, you're trying to invite me to join your orchestra?" Sophia said coldly.

"It's... Yes. Liu Yi said while covering his swollen face.

"Why, do I know you well?" Sophia rolled her eyes.

"I have a lot of jazz music here, and we can discuss it together." Liu Yidao.

"No, the traditional campus doesn't know jazz at all." Sophia Road.

"Then do you like debate, the champion doesn't dare to say, at least I can take you to the top eight of the M, against Harvard, Chicago and other prestigious schools..."Liu Yi covered his face and said.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, lost in thought.

Her father was a state councillor, and his greatest hope was that he would be admitted to his old school, Stanford, and assist him in his political career after graduation.

However, when he was a child, his father often went out to socialize, and he was raised by his mother, and under the influence of his mother, he aspired to become a jazz musician.

This disappointed my father.

On that day, my father adopted a boy who was a year younger than him.

As a result, the mother divorced the father.

I chose to follow my mother.

The two of them usually live a very poor life.

Especially when I became an adult, my father no longer paid alimony.

In order to earn enough for her tuition, her mother not only had to work part-time during the day, but also went to Broadway performances until midnight at night.

I remember that the owner of the opera house once made fun of it.

"Your hands don't look like they can play the piano."

Therefore, she was debated by Liu Yi last time and couldn't refute it.

Because she understands what money means.

At the same time, her feelings for her father are also complicated.

She didn't know whether to hate him or understand him.

"So, if I want to defeat my father's stepson in Stanford as a music student at the All-M College Debate Tournament, will he regret it?"

Thinking of this, Sophia looked at Liu Yi and said, "If you take me to defeat Stanford, I will join your orchestra." ”

Liu Yi was stunned.

Good guy, I just said that I can take you to Harvard, Chicago, the third and fourth ranked universities in country M.

As a result, you came up and directly asked me to beat Sdoff, who was ranked second in the all-M rankings.

I just came to Tsinghua University in my previous life, and it was very difficult to do that.

"Uh... I can't. Liu Yi said honestly.

Sophia smiled with tears in her eyes for some reason: "That... At least don't lose too badly, okay? ”

Liu Yi didn't know why, but hesitated, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes." ”

"Deal." Sophia laughed.

Liu Yi said tentatively: "That... I happen to have a blues tune, do you have time tomorrow, let's rehearse together? ”

Sophia ignored him and said to herself: "If you fail to take me to Stanford, you will have to pay me at least $100,000... Also, every time I perform, I don't pay $1,000 is not much, by the way, you also have to reimburse for food and accommodation during rehearsals..."
