Hyperdimensional Warlock

Outside the copy of Uriel.

"Do you think it's possible for Luigi to reach the stars?" Laplace asked Angel curiously as he looked at the picture in the holographic live broadcast.

While maintaining the live broadcast, Angel thought: "Luigi's two pieces of music were performed very well. Especially his design of "Galaxy Hymn" also included Gulemo's performance, which can be said to be a stroke of genius. "

Laplace: "So you think Luigi can win?"

Angel thought for a moment and nodded.

He doesn't think Luigi can take Gulemo in two rounds, but he should be fine in one round.

Luigi only needs to win one round to be considered successful.

Therefore, the possibility of Luigi reaching for the stars is still very high.

Angel asked curiously: "What do you think?"

Laplace pondered for a moment: "You know, I'm not very interested in art. My appreciation of music is only at the level of a passerby."

"If you just look at the four tracks they performed before, my favorite is actually..."Poetry of War"."

In other words, Laplace is actually more partial to Gulemo.

Angel can understand Laplace's choice.She didn't talk about it from the perspective of appreciation, but just from her listening experience.

Her answer is completely in line with the sense of hearing first.

"Shocking" music is often more eye-catching and can leave a deeper impression.

It's like a singer constantly hitting high notes on the stage, directly reaching people's divine inspiration.It is definitely more eye-catching than graceful chanting.

Of course, this does not mean that "Poetry of War" is a work of virtuosity.

Even if it were Angel's ranking, he would rank "Poetry of War" at the top.

However, from a comprehensive perspective, "Grand Garden" has plug-in bonuses, and "Galaxy Hymn" has careful design. Angel personally feels that Luigi is more ingenious.

Laplace: "Ingenuity is certainly flattering, but ingenuity is not considered hard power, right?"

Angel: "That's true."

After a pause, Angel continued: "However, in my opinion, a performance is not only a display of hard power, but also the atmosphere, environment, and even the construction of the audience's psychological comfort zone. Ingenuity is also included. These are the corresponding conditions that constitute a perfect performance.”

It can be said to be soft power.

A performance needs to combine hard power and soft power, and cannot just rely on personal skills.

Many factors affect the distinction between spectators and referees.

Laplace thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but I still prefer Gulemo's performance."

Angel glanced at Laplace, and he could vaguely feel that Laplace's response at the moment was slightly more emotional than rational.

This is not to say that Laplace fell into an emotional state.

But in this duel, Laplace may have been too familiar with Luigi's performance, and seeing Luigi's performance did not bring much novelty.

On the contrary, it was the first time for Laplace to see Gulemo's music, from its style to its performance.On the contrary, it can arouse her emotions even more.

Angel had seen too many musical performances, especially during the year when he took the Bauhinia to Fan Continent. His daily entertainment on the ship was to watch various movies and performances on the holographic tablet.Among them, he has not seen more than [-], but tens of thousands of large-scale concerts on Earth.

Therefore, after seeing more, he can evaluate more rationally.

But then again, Gulemo's performance is indeed outstanding.If Gulemo was like Luigi and had several days of preparation time, his performance would definitely be more exciting than Luigi's.

Even if it is a temporary performance now, in Angel's opinion, it is not inferior to Luigi.

Angel thought for a while, nodded and said, "I also like Gulemo's performance."

……

The perspective returns to the copy.

Mulloy stood in the center of the courtyard, his hands hanging down.

"I have notes in both hands now. The left hand represents the results of the first round, and the right hand represents the results of the second round." Mulloy looked at Luigi and Gulemo: "Which round do you plan to watch first? "

Gulemo said: "Let Luigi decide, he is the challenger."

Mulloy looked at Luigi, and Luigi didn't shirk. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to Mulloy's right hand: "Let's take a look at the results of the second round first."

The reason why I chose the second round of results first.

The main reason is that the second round involves mutual evaluation.Luigi wanted to see what Gulemo's general evaluation of his performance of "Hymn to the Galaxy" was.

Mulloy glanced at Gulemo.

Gulemo nodded noncommittally: "Listen to him, let's start the second round first."

Both opponents decided to start the second round first, and Mulloy naturally agreed with them.Raise your right hand in front of your chest and spread your hand.

There are three pieces of paper in his hand, representing the two duels and the evaluation given by the witness.

Mulloy took out a piece of paper and opened it slowly.

After taking a look at the content on the note, Mulloy smiled slightly: "This note records Luigi's evaluation of The Lady Selling Camellias."

Gulemo glanced at Luigi, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he gestured to Mulloy: "Read it, I also want to know what Luigi thinks of my music."

Mulloy smiled and read Luigi's comments word for word.

"Without the experience of bitter cold, one cannot play the humbleness of the people at the bottom. This is a calm music, but the power it contains is more majestic than the deafening music."

"That's what Luigi said."

Although there are not many words of praise, a lot of music does not need praise. As long as you understand the meaning of the music, that is the greatest respect for the music performer.

There is no doubt that Luigi not only understood the music, he also gave it a very high rating.

"As for the score." Mulloy looked at the bottom of the note: "Luigi gave "The Lady of the Camellias" a 5."

The scores for the Star Climbing Showdown are all on a 5-point scale.

Luigi gave Gulemo a perfect score of 5, which means he gave it a perfect score.

After Gulemo heard that he had received perfect scores, he just looked at Luigi deeply and was not prepared to say anything.

It was Mulloy who took the initiative to point to Gulemo: "Do you have anything to say about this evaluation and the score?"

Luigi also perked up his ears and looked at Gulemo curiously.

Gulemo was not prepared to speak at first, but since Mulloy asked, he did not refuse and said calmly: "This is what I deserve."

This is not because Gulemo is arrogant, but because he has absolute confidence in his performance.

You're welcome.

Luigi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.Mulloy obviously knew something about Gulemo's character, and said with a smile: "It's good to be confident, but I don't know, how would you rate Luigi?" Gulemo just sneered and remained silent. Word.

Mulloy stopped asking and opened the second note.But just after opening it, he slowly closed it again: "This note is my evaluation. I will reveal it at the end. Let's first see Gulemo's rating for Luigi."

Mulloy picked up the last note in his right hand. There was no doubt that this was Gulemo's review of Luigi's performance of "Hymn to the Galaxy".

Mulloy opened the note and read it out without hesitation: "I like it, especially the excerpts from "The Camellia Woman" that he added temporarily, which makes this piece of music quite ingenious."

"However, I still want to remind you. In this duel, you added this excerpt, which is clever; but if you perform this piece of music elsewhere and also add the excerpt from "The Woman Seller", it will be very Violation."

In fact, everyone present can understand what Gulemo said.

Luigi is very thoughtful in making the topic based on the emotion of the moment.Because everyone present is in the "present moment", they can understand what Luigi means.

But if it were performed like this in other time and space environments, it would be a huge failure.

For example, when a person is alone in a foreign land, looking at the moon can reveal his homesickness; but for a family that is already reunited, looking at the moon can only reveal sweet mooncakes.

Depending on the time and space environment, the same bright moon will have different expressions.

Since everyone present knew this, why did Gulemo point it out specifically?
The reason is also very simple.

Gulemo approved of Luigi's little ingenuity.

It doesn’t matter whether the people present recognize it or not. What’s important is that Gulemo recognizes it.

If he didn't agree with this ingenuity and just said that the added excerpt did not match the original song, no one would refute it.Because there is indeed a violation.

As long as Gulemo clings to this point, Luigi will definitely lose this duel.

But now that Gulemo recognizes Luigi's ingenuity, there is no need to consider the issue of "whether it violates harmony", but rather evaluates the ingenuity as its merits.

From this, we can also see that Gulemo is very generous and tolerant in his artistic attitude.

I won’t take advantage of the situation just because of victory or defeat.

Good is good, bad is bad.This is Gulemo's character, direct and clear.

Mulloy: "It's not over yet. There are still a few paragraphs left in Gulemo's evaluation of "Hymn to the Galaxy"... I'll continue reading."

The next few minutes were filled with Mulloy's mumbling voice.

As for the content of the narration, Gulemo analyzed "Hymn of the Galaxy" from various dimensions, praising it and pointing out its shortcomings.

Even some of Luigi's technical deficiencies were pointed out.

This is no longer a mutual evaluation, but more like a guidance.

And it’s that kind of selfless guidance.

After hearing this, Luigi did not feel offended by the criticism.Because the shortcomings pointed out by Gulemo are indeed his problems.

Moreover, Luigi himself did not discover many problems. If Gulemo had not pointed them out, he would probably have made the same mistakes in the future.

It can be said that Luigi really benefited a lot from Gulemo's comments.

After all, Luigi usually lives in the Day Mirror Realm, and has too few exposure to such world-level great artists.

After Mulloy finished reading Gulemo's comments, Luigi took a deep breath and bowed to Gulemo to express his gratitude.

Gulemo just nodded lightly, accepting Luigi's thanks.

Finally it’s time for the final scoring session.

"Gulemo's rating for "Hymn of the Galaxy"..." Mulloy looked at the bottom number and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's a bit interesting."

interesting?Not only Luigi, but also Angel and others outside the copy were full of curiosity.

Some people don't understand why Mulloy said this.

Could it be that Gulemo scored a low score?
Under everyone's curious and expectant gazes, Mulloy whispered a number: "5 points, Gulemo's score for "Hymn to the Galaxy" is also 5 points!"

In other words, Gulemo and Luigi gave each other the highest marks in their mutual evaluations without any discussion.

Luigi looked at Gulemo with some surprise.

Previously, when Gulemo pointed out the shortcomings of his performance in the evaluation, Luigi had already accepted that Gulemo might not give him a high score.

But unexpectedly, Gulemo actually gave full marks? !

This was somewhat unexpected by Luigi.

So the shortcomings Gulemo pointed out in his review just now are really just guidance, rather than deliberately trying to score points?

Mulloy looked at Luigi: "Are you surprised?"

Luigi: "...It's a bit, because my interpretation is indeed as Mr. Gulemo said, there are big shortcomings. I thought..."

Luigi didn't say anything, but everyone understood what he meant.

Mulloy turned to look at Gulemo: "Can you tell me why you gave this score?"

Gulemo moved his lips and said after a while: "He deserves this."

It's still so arrogant, but this time the pronoun is different.

Mulloy: "Is that all there is to say?"

Gulemo thought for a while, then turned to look at Luigi: "I wasn't originally going to give you a 5-point rating, but after I listened to "Hymn of the Galaxy", I decided to give you a 5-point rating. It's not just your performance. Excellent, most importantly, because you did it on your own.”

Gulemo spoke cryptically, but Luigi knew what he meant.

The previous "32 Quotes of the Wind" and "Shengting Garden" both relied on the skills of Fengzi Huayu, which can be regarded as external forces.

Although Luigi personally feels that external forces are also part of his own strength; but if we really look into it, it is indeed a bit unfair.

On the other hand, it's not that Gulemo can't accept external forces, he just feels that Luigi wants to obtain the "Star of Green" and external forces cannot be the key to his victory.

When Luigi used "Hymn of the Galaxy" to show his strength and ingenuity, Gulemo was delighted.

He saw art reaching its peak without the help of external forces.

Even if there are still some flaws, it doesn't matter.Nothing can be absolutely perfect, and the same goes for art.

Therefore, this time Gulemo stayed true to his inner feelings and gave Luigi a perfect score of 5.

This is a kind of recognition that comes from Gulemo’s heart.

After being stunned for two seconds, Luigi said softly: "Thank you."

Gulemo's eyes flashed with approval, and he didn't speak anymore, but looked at Mulloy.

He was also curious. As the former conductor of the Imperial Music Orchestra, how would Mulloy evaluate their music?

Faced with Gulemo's curiosity, Mulloy did not immediately come to a conclusion, but looked at the other person present.
