"The first phase was great."

At the regular meeting of Songshi Records, Liang Yusong gave a thumbs up and praised Fang Xing.

"This is too fierce, the first episode of "Singing" won the first place." A second-tier singer in the company, his eyes are full of admiration.

Li Caiwei showed an expression of honor on her face, and said: "Of course, Fang Xing's singing strength is the absolute first echelon in the pop music scene." ”

"It's been awarded, it's been awarded." Fang Xing bowed his hand and said modestly.

Liang Yusong began to arrange the company's recent work focus: "This time, Fang Xing's participation in "Singing" is the company's key work in recent times, and all departments must fully cooperate. ”

"Okay, no problem." Heads of departments agreed.

Liang Yusong continued: "Regarding the recording of "Singing", it cannot be disclosed to the outside world for the time being, and the confidentiality work must be done well, which is the requirement of the program team. ”

In fact, it's not just "Singing", most variety shows will ask guests not to disclose the recording content of the show before the show is broadcast.

The secrecy requirements for "Singing" are more stringent.

Liang Yusong continued: "What needs to be considered now is the strategy of the second phase of the competition of "Singing", which must be paid attention to.

"According to the news received, the first phase chose Fang Xing as the kicking singer who kicked the gym, and the second phase also wanted to choose Fang Xing, so the second phase can't be vigilant."

Qiao Yinghong asked out loud: "Do you know who this kicking singer is?" ”

Liang Yusong replied: "I asked Zheng Tao, but he didn't say it explicitly, only said that we grabbed the starting position of the kicking singer, so we ......"

He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that there is still this festival, why do you have to pick me." However, in addition to me and Chen Lizhu, the other starting singers have all shallow qualifications, and it is normal to choose me. ”

Qiao Yinghong lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to find someone to find out who this kicking singer is?" ”

For insiders, there are no real secrets in the entertainment industry, and the first episode of "Singing" has been recorded.

If you really spend money to ask someone, you can still find out.

It's just that if you do this, you will definitely be known by the other party.

Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "There's no need, since he didn't dare to kick the hall in the first issue, he dared to choose me in the second phase, that is, you yourself are unlucky." ”

Liang Yusong asked: "The theme of the second issue is 'The Taste of First Love', have you already thought of the repertoire?" ”

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Not yet." ”

"The taste of first love, this theme is easy and not easy. The easy part is that there are many songs of this type, but the difficult part is that this kind of song is generally more lyrical, used for competitions, and the strength may not be enough. Liang Yusong analyzed the characteristics of this theme a little.

Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "I'm also thinking about what song to sing." ”

"If you don't have an idea, the company can help you adapt a song, this type of song, the company has a few old songs." Liang Yusong gave a suggestion.

In his opinion, Fang Xing's stock of songs cannot cover every genre.

If there is really no song with the theme of "The Taste of First Love", then adapting an existing song is also a good direction.

In fact, most of the participating singers in "Singing" take this route.

Adapting an old song can not only sell feelings, but also sing your heart through adaptation, which is a very ingenious competition strategy.

Fang Xing thought about it seriously and said, "I'll think about it again, and I'll decide to choose the song in two days." ”

"Ready to take two days off?" Liang Yusong asked.

The show "Singing" is very stressful, and it is normal to take a break for a day or two just after the competition.

He added: "If you feel tired, take a two-day break. However, the next song was finally set three days in advance, so that we had time to make the arrangement and match the band. ”

Fang Xing nodded and said, "I'll go find the feeling of first love first." ”

Everyone didn't understand what it meant, they just thought that Fang Xing was going back to rest for two days and find inspiration.

……

In fact.

When he heard "the taste of first love", Fang Xing's first thought was Lu Xiang'er.

It's just that if you count the previous life, it's not actually the first love.

I had a relationship in my last life, and it started on campus.

That time was beautiful, she was a bit similar to Lu Xiang'er, they were both a little stupid, and they looked like they were good bullies.

Memories are beautiful, but this beauty is always no match for reality.

At that time, I had just graduated, had no financial foundation, no performance opportunities, and could only work in a musical troupe, living in a basement and eating instant noodles.

It was a hard time, but it was also unforgettable.

It's just that she couldn't go through this difficult time together.

Because of the different places, in this period of hopeless days, the two sides tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, so that their respective names were sealed in the address book and became a symbol.

Originally, Fang Xing thought that the theme of "the taste of first love" would first come to mind the memory of his previous life.

The result was unexpected, and the first thing that came to mind was Lu Xiang'er playing the piano.

In fact, I have experienced so much in my previous life, and I have already let go of that period of the past.

Originally, Fang Xing thought that in this life, there would be no more impulsiveness and enthusiasm when he first loved.

A person's impulse and enthusiasm for feelings are limited, and when they have spent that period of youth, they are more calm and calm when they face their feelings.

I can still love someone, but I won't love so passionately anymore.

Even if you love passionately, you won't show it.

……

Fang Xing received the violin competition information from Lu Xiang'er.

The time is tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Symphony Concert Hall at the Tokai International Media Center.

Fang Xing promised her that he was going to watch her game, and since he agreed, he still had to go.

Maybe feelings are a problem that can't be understood in two lifetimes.

Actually, Fang Xing does like Lu Xianger a little, but this kind of liking is not love.

Moreover, I have experienced too much, even if I like it a little, I will not impulsively chase after it.

For this reason, I have known each other for more than three months, and I have met three times before and after.

Fang Xing originally felt that there was some beauty, and it was good to look at it from a distance.

It's just that when I heard "The Taste of First Love", the first person who came to mind unexpectedly turned out to be Lu Xiang'er and her violin.

It may be that I haven't tasted the "taste of first love" for too long, and I have forgotten what it tastes like.

Fang Xing felt that maybe he should try it to see if it was sour or sweet.

……

The next day, 2:50 p.m.

Donghai International Media Center, in front of the Symphony Concert Hall.

Two girls with musical instruments on their backs waited at the door.

Ning Xiaoyun urged: "You hurry up and send a WeChat message to ask if he is here." ”

"It's already been posted." Lu Xiang'er took out her mobile phone and looked at it, but did not send a message.

"How long was that?"

"At noon."

"At noon, it's been more than two hours, that guy won't stop coming, right?" Ning Xiaoyun rolled her eyes.

"Won't it?" Lu Xiang'er was a little unsure.

"What's not going to be? That guy is a star now, and maybe he doesn't want to bird us at all. Ning Xiaoyun snorted.

"He doesn't want that kind of person." Lu Xiang'er said so, but she didn't have confidence in her heart.

"It's 2:50, and if you don't come back, you're going to start, and you have to go in and prepare. Or I'll wait here a little longer, and you can go in first. Ning Xiaoyun proposed.

Lu Xiang'er thought for a while, took out her mobile phone again, and said, "I'll send a message to ask him again." ”

As she spoke, her fingers typing on her phone, she sent a message: Are you still here? The game is almost underway.

Not long after the message was sent, the reply came.

Ning Xiaoyun leaned in and asked, "How is it?" What did he say? ”

I saw the reply on WeChat: I was too busy recording the show to catch up.

Ning Xiaoyun's face darkened, and she clenched her fists and snorted: "I know that this guy is too unreliable." This reply must be a pretext, this guy must be chic! ”

Lu Xiang'er's face was full of loss, and he sighed: "He said before that he was going to record the show, and he may really not be able to catch up." Let's go in and play. ”

As she spoke, she turned and walked back into the concert hall.

Ning Xiaoyun still snorted angrily: "How can you compete now that you look like you have lost your soul?" If I knew that guy was so unreliable, I shouldn't have told him about the game. ”

Lu Xiang'er quickened her pace and walked towards the door of the concert hall, and halfway through, she almost bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry."

She hurriedly looked up, said sorry, and prepared to go around after speaking.

However, as soon as she looked up, she saw this person waving at her.

"At 2:55, I'm still pretty punctual, right?" Fang Xing wore a mask and grinned at her.

Lu Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and her face was full of confused expressions.

Her mood seemed to go from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven all at once.

After the circle was finished, Lu Xiang'er suddenly raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Aren't you unable to catch up!" ”

"I'm kidding you." Fang Xing continued to grin.

"Am I that funny?"

Lu Xiang'er puffed out her cheeks, squeezed Fang Xing away with her elbows, and then strode towards the concert hall.

Fang Xing looked at her angry back and cheered her on: "It's a good comparison!" I'll cheer you on offstage. ”

Lu Xiang'er was both angry and happy, the expression on her face couldn't hold back, and she looked strange.

This feeling, a little sour, a little sweet, and a little puffy.

……

Entered the concert hall.

Lu Xiang'er carried the violin on her back and ran quickly to report for duty.

Fang Xing followed Ning Xiaoyun and found a seat and sat down.

The symphony hall is quite large, with 800 seats.

Today is the Tokai International Violin Competition, not a concert, so there are not many audiences.

Most of the spectators were relatives and friends of the contestants, and they were basically seated in the front rows.

After sitting down.

Ning Xiaoyun stared at Fang Xing suspiciously, her eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "Didn't you say on WeChat that you couldn't catch up?" Why did it pop out again suddenly? ”

"Just kidding, don't be so serious." Fang Xing replied.

"If Xiangxiang doesn't play well because of you, you'll be unlucky!" Ning Xiaoyun said menacingly.

"What if Chang Chao plays?" Fang Xing turned his head and asked.

Ning Xiaoyun said proudly: "You don't need to play Chang Chao, you don't know how good Xiangxiang's talent is, as long as you play normally, you will definitely be able to get a good ranking." ”

The Tokai International Violin Competition officially began.

The host first introduced the orchestra that accompanied today, and then said the opening speech, and then let the players out of the game.

Lu Xianger is the No. 6 player.

The violin music played by the first five players was not bad.

As a singer who is well versed in music, Fang Xing can hear the level of these players, and they are all okay.

I have played with Lu Xianger before, and I have also heard her play in instrumental ensemble classes.

I have the impression that her level is similar to that of the previous five players, all of them are on average.

As for whether it can get a good ranking, it is not certain.

After the first five players played, it was Lu Xiang'er's turn to play.

Lu Xianger changed into a white dress, held the piano in one hand and a bow in the other, walked to the center of the stage, and bowed to the judges and the audience first.

Then, place the bow on the violin and get ready.

The orchestra conductor holds the baton flat in front of him, then glances around to make sure everyone is ready, and then quickly slams the baton down.

The orchestral instruments are played at the same time.

After the orchestra has played a short section, it is time for the violin protagonist to enter.

The conductor raised his baton and nodded in the direction of Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er clenched the bow, pushed on the strings, punched out a long note, and officially began to play.

Fang Xing heard that Lu Xianger was playing the first movement of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major.

When I heard that it was a violin concerto, I was a little surprised.

From the technical point of view of this concerto, it is actually not very difficult.

Fang Xing had heard Lu Xiang'er play the violin, and knew that she could actually play more difficult tunes.

In the violin competition, the difficulty of the selected piece will also affect the final score.

If the level of live performance of the two contestants is about the same, then it must be the contestant with the higher difficulty of choosing the song with a higher score.

Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major is, technically speaking, a relatively simple piece.

It's just that every note of Mozart is as precious as a gem.

You need to really understand the preciousness of this piece in order to really play it effectively.

If you just pull this piece out in its entirety, most violin students can do it.

However, the difficulty is to play the simple tunes brilliantly.

Integrate your own feelings into the violin music and play it so that the audience can feel it.

That's the difference between a violinist and a violinist.

Mo San is simple, but it's not simple.

In fact.

Violin competitions like this are not yet the time to really compete at the master level.

The selection of contestants is usually to choose difficult violin pieces, and show the difficult technique as much as possible, so that it is easier to get a high score.

It is actually very difficult to choose a low-difficulty violin concerto and try to impress the judges by interpreting your own feelings.

Because the standard of the competition is not high enough, even the judges of the competition may not be able to hear the different emotions under the notes.

However, the performance level will not be lowered because of this competition, so Fang Xing feels that Lu Xianger should choose the music according to his own wishes.

Even if this Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major does not impress the judges.

It's just a game, not a life.

After Fang Xing understood Lu Xiang'er's heart, he slowly closed his eyes, listened quietly, put his fingers on his knees, and followed the beat of the music.

Ning Xiaoyun originally wanted to say something with a stomach, but when she turned her head and saw Fang Xing closing her eyes and listening, she had to hold back her words and looked at Lu Xiang'er on the stage nervously.

The light sound of the violin is like the melodious chirping of birds that welcome the morning dew in the morning.

Sometimes it flies in the sky, sometimes it crosses the meadow.

The notes reverberate through the concert hall, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The listener who listened carefully seemed to see a group of innocent children, frolicking in the grass, chasing the morning birds, full of joy and innocence.

Listening and listening, Fang Xing heard a faint trace of nostalgia from the sound of the violin.

It seems that the joy and innocence in the notes are a memory, a past event sealed in the memory.

Fang Xing opened his eyes and stared at Lu Xiang'er on the stage.

I saw her closing her eyes, playing indulgently, and the whole person was integrated into the melody.

And the violin she was using in her hand was the birthday present from her grandfather, the violin that was interrupted and repaired.

At this moment, Fang Xing finally knew where the nostalgia in her piano came from.

It turned out that she was playing the innocent time in her memory, and at the same time, she was also nostalgic for the old man who gave her the violin.

Fang Xing couldn't help but smile on his face, happy for her.

She has put her emotions into playing, which is the path from violinist to violinist.

This road may not be able to go as high or far, but as long as you set off, the note in your heart will come alive.

From this moment on, the notes pulled out by her fingertips are no longer stereotypical scores, but notes in her heart, full of memories and emotions.

In the field of art, machines can never be compared with people, because people have emotions, every performance is different, and the best performance is always the next time.

Lu Xiang'er finished playing, paused for a few seconds before putting down the violin and bowing to the audience.

At this time.

There was a round of applause from the judges.

Not every judge applauded, after all, not every judge could understand the emotion of this violin piece.

After all the contestants have played, the scores will be announced on the spot.

The five judges gave Lu Xiang'er a high score, and the low one was lower than the average, and the final score ranked third.

Lu Xianger changed back into her student clothes and returned to the audience from the backstage.

Ning Xiaoyun ran up and gave her a big hug: "You won the third place, you won the third place, and you can go to the Paganini International Competition at the end of the term." ”

Fang Xing walked up and praised, "Congratulations, you pulled well." I heard the power that Grandpa Lu gave you. ”

When Lu Xiang'er heard this, she was stunned, and her hand holding the violin strap couldn't help but tighten.

This feeling of being seen through the heart is very amazing.

She was both happy and afraid.

Happily, someone understood the music she played.

This is also the reason for being afraid, being seen through the heart.
