Married to the Demon King

After a lengthy leadership speech, Shelley finally waited until the start of the official schedule.

The first part is to choose one of three propositional repertoires. This year's repertoires are "Black Key Etude", "Moonlight Sonata" and "Hunting".

Shelley shook the paper on her hand, and rolled her eyes boredly.

The Qingyin Contest is not an art test in Huaguo, the songs selected every year are so popular, there is nothing special about it.

VW means classic, VW also means proficient.

Although the difficulty of these three songs is not low, on the other hand, it is extremely difficult to play a unique charm.

The first one to play was a girl, and the selection was the eighth of Liszt's super technique etude - "Hunting", also known as the big hunting, to distinguish it from the song of the same name.

The technical difficulty of Big Hunting is mainly in the high-speed and high-strength performance of octave chords. If the strength of the arm is not enough, the music will not sound uniform and tidy, and the large number of five-note legato in it requires very precise forearm force.

All in all, this is a very difficult piece to play "perfectly".

This female player's playing is quite satisfactory, which is already very good in the ears of the audience, but to Shelley, this is a rookie eating rice.

After finally going through one song, the next three were big hunts, which made Shelley yawn eight times in a row.

What's going on?Why do you amateurs love hunting so much?Do you think hunting is easy or difficult? ?

Fortunately, the next one was replaced by Moonlight, and it played well. Shelley felt that his expectations had been lowered infinitely.Putting it first, she will definitely not think this is okay...

Just when Shelley was thinking that the next one would never hunt again, a male contestant in black T-jeans came to the stage and bowed carelessly.Then he laughed and said that he also played Big Hunt.

Shelley: "..." There is no end!And you're dressed so casually, are you here for a barbecue?

The male contestant sat down and hit the first note, Shelley's ears immediately perked up.

...so strong!Good steady play!

If the previous contestants were all angels singing, then this one's hunting had the meaning of a devil roaring!

Although the harder the song is, the better it is, but hunting this song, the momentum can't come out if it's light!

After listening to so many soft hunts, I feel that they are all foreshadowing this song!

Shelley was immersed in it, and the rest of the contestants couldn't get into her heart no matter what.

Until the penultimate contestant appeared on the stage, Shelley suddenly lifted his spirits—how could this little brother look so good!

She frantically pulled out the profile of the player she didn't care to read, when she heard Wang Hai and Xiang Jianguo, who were obliquely in front of her, start whispering together.

Shelley scanned the information of the contestant named "Yu Jiu" in his hand, and leaned his body to try to listen to the whispers they had.

The two editor-in-chiefs of "Mayfly" sat before Shelley, so they didn't know that Shelley was very close to them, so they didn't deliberately lower their voices.

"This Yu Jiu looks good, can you give me more space?"

Shelley gritted his teeth, these face-seeking dogs, no matter how good-looking they are, do they deserve the space?These superficial human beings!

At this moment, she completely forgot how she desperately flipped through the files just now...

"This can't work, Lao Zhao called me specially, and Zhao Yuqin said he can't do it."

"Hey! What kind of music is not good, even if you can't play it well, some girls will love it if you take a few photos..."

"Hey, I heard that the character is not good! I don't know what's going on, but the people of the old Zhao family, we have to show some face."

Shelley was dumbfounded. Do these people have classical music in their eyes?

The people on the stage had already bowed and sat down. As soon as they put their hands on the keys, Shelley could see that this little brother named "Yu Jiu" wanted to play the black keys.

This is the first black key tonight.

Shelley heard the first two bars, and it was like a hammer being struck on the brain.

She murmured: "...it's too deep, this touch..."

In Chopin's "Black Key Etudes", the main melody is handed over to the left hand, while the right hand is full of notes on the main melody with black keys, which is a test of the accuracy of playing.

There are many people who can play the black keys, some jump lightly, some run evenly and comfortably, but even Shelley has heard countless master recitals, he can’t deny that the black keys played by the person in front of him is simply amazing .

It's not simply force, nor is it simple accuracy. He perfectly combines strength and jumping feeling, so that an ordinary, bad etude can shine again here.

Shelley didn't even know that she was crying, in this short minute and a half.

Qingyin Contest...it's great!

This is just an amateur group! !

She could hear such a performance in the amateur group! !

There are many professional musicians in the audience, but even the audience who came to join in the fun can feel the maturity and beauty of Yu Jiu's performance.

When Yu Jiu took the curtain call, there was thunderous applause from the audience, and Shelley slapped twice excitedly, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken a picture yet, so she hurriedly raised her camera to take a pat on the stage.

Yu Jiu's beautiful side profile was captured in the camera, and there were two idiots blocking her lens.

"If you don't applaud, get out of the way!" In order to take a photo, Shelley leaned half of her body between the seats of Wang Hai and Xiang Jianguo, and the two realized that Shelley was right behind them.

The embarrassment on their faces became even more embarrassing, and they had no choice but to slap along with the audience.

Xiang Jianguo said unconvinced: "Don't be complacent, there is another one. Director Zhao said that although Zhao Yuqin did not go to the Conservatory of Music and could only be assigned to the amateur group, his family also invited famous foreign teachers to teach..."

Wang Hai: "Old Xiang, don't say a few words."

Shelley sneered: "Then I'd like to see how the son of this famous foreign teacher plays."

The little fat man was the last to come out and bowed in three directions in a pompous manner.

The audience was excited, and they did not hesitate to welcome the applause, and someone even blew a whistle.

The little fat man sat down in front of the piano with satisfaction and began to play.

"........."

Shelley was dumbfounded, crowded between the chair backs of Wang Hai and Xiang Jianguo, and asked in a strange tone: "What is he playing?"

Xiang Jianguo closed his eyes in humiliation: "...it's a black key."

Shelley: "What was the last frame played?"

Xiang Jianguo: "...It's also a black key."

Shelley spread her hands: "Wow~unbelievable~"

Backstage, most of the contestants who had finished the first match gathered on the side screen to peek at the match. Zheng Xin was already laughing so hard that he lay on top of Liu Keqiao and couldn't get up.

Zheng Xin: "I can't do it anymore, is he going to laugh at me to death so that I can inherit my ant money?"

Yu Jiu also laughed, he didn't want to be so mean, but the little fat man really looks like a public execution.

If it was broadcast on TV like this in the future, he even doubted that the little fat man would become popular...

The second item is a performance piece worth 10 points. There is a reason for putting it in the middle. On the one hand, it can adjust the mood of the contestants, and on the other hand, it can enliven the atmosphere of the audience.

The contestants have practiced the piano for many years, and they may not be able to play all super skill etudes well, but there are too many ways to play relatively popular songs well.

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea each showed their magical powers, and the audience burst into cheers.

Yu Jiu is the third to appear in the lottery this time.He habitually glanced in the direction of Mr. Lin in the audience, met his gaze, and smiled brightly.

There was a commotion in the auditorium over there.

Satisfied, Yu Jiu turned around and began to play his own selection - "He'sa Pirate".

This is the theme song of the famous movie Pirates of the Caribbean. It is nice, familiar and infectious.He made some changes on the basis of the widely circulated piano score, making the climax part more vigorous and magnificent.

Needless to say, the atmosphere in the arena, if it wasn't for a concert, girls might have called out.

Yu Jiu played most of the way, and there was a five-second pause to arouse the audience's sense of anticipation.He raised his hand high and didn't let it fall for a long time. At the same time, he looked to the right—where is Mr. Lin?

This thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately returned to the music to continue, but the feeling of tightness in his heart was still lingering.

what happened?

He didn't deliberately look for Lin Cong'an's direction just now, but just glanced over there, but in that flashing feeling, Mr. Lin's place seems to be really empty?

Why did you leave suddenly?

Mr. Lin, is there something urgent?

The majestic note was pressed faster and faster, Yu Jiu gritted his teeth and forced himself not to be distracted, but he still missed a note somewhere.The audience probably couldn't hear it, but such a small flaw made him more nervous, and the final ending was not in place.

He stood up smiling and bowing, his face turned pale when he turned around, and his mind was a little empty until the end of the scene.

He walked around from the backstage to the lounge, found his mobile phone, and was about to call Mr. Lin.Who knows that after the lock screen is pressed, the signal is hovering between one bar and none.

It was fine just now...

Yu Jiu really couldn't stand this kind of anxiety, and ran towards the outside of the arena while he still had time.

But half a day later, the sky outside changed.Thick clouds blocked the clear blue sky, and it was windy.

Yu Jiu's hair was blown out of his face a bit, he was walking while staring at the signal box, just when he received the signal and was about to call out, a belated text message popped up as a reminder.

[I'm on a business trip temporarily, I'm sorry I can't continue to accompany you, but I believe you can.The return date is uncertain, I will let you know when it is fixed. ]

Yu Jiu looked back and forth several times before he sighed in disappointment.

He still called Lin Cong'an.If it is convenient for him to pick it up, he will pick it up, otherwise it will be regarded as never having called.

Where there is a signal, the connection is still very fast. Lin Cong'an's voice came out of the receiver immediately, and Yu Jiu suddenly felt a little relieved.

"Yu Jiu? Are you finished?"

Yu Jiu took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone brisk: "Yes, why did you leave suddenly?"

Lin Cong'an's tone was a little helpless: "I'm sorry... There was an accident here in Qingzhou. I originally booked a later flight ticket, but the situation was urgent and I had to leave first."

Yu Jiu worried: "Are you okay?"

Lin Cong'an said: "It's nothing, you play hard, Xiaotian will pick you up after the competition. I will go back after I finish dealing with Qingzhou's affairs."

Just as Yu Jiu hung up the phone, he sneezed loudly.

Only then did he notice that he was blowing cold wind, he hurried back to the venue and entered the lounge.

Players who don't want to stay on the stage to watch after the first stage will basically come here. Yu Jiu opened the door and saw Zheng Xin.

"Hi, Jiuer, brother, I was just about to call you! What's the matter with you, I can't find you, aren't you afraid of being late?"

Yu Jiu had almost adjusted his mentality all the way back, and he smiled when he heard this: "Is there any hot water, I want to drink a big cup of hot water."

Zheng Xin had nothing to do with him, so he poured it out of his own thermos.

"What happened to you before? The second half felt a little... not strong enough." Zheng Xin handed him the lid of the cup and asked.

Yu Jiu lowered his eyelashes: "It's my fault, I panicked, but I won't be able to choose the song."

He must play the optional piece well in order to enter the final.

Not just for myself.
