"Come on let's look at the grades on the written part of this exam...Whoa, this."

The Internet celebrity who said "live broadcast to expose Xia Yi" got excited and stood up when the light screen was on and started to shoot, but his voice soon became dry when he saw the top score clearly.

"Unbelievable. I gotta say it's not what I thought it would be..."

He racked his brains and tried to say something to smooth things over: After all, while waiting for the exam, in order to keep the audience enthusiastic, he said a lot of conspiratorial guesses about Xia Yi's grades, and some gossip about the royal family ——Of course, it was very restrained and stuck at the border of "insulting the royal family".

Someone is more excited than this one.

"This is impossible!"

Shen Kaifeng lost his composure and said it out loud.Fortunately, the people around were too busy being surprised, no one had time to look at him.

"Kaifeng, don't be so excited. Ah Yi... He must have worked hard to change his major." Tao Anming took his arm to comfort him, but his words didn't match his heart.

He looked at the light screen in the examination room in front of him from a distance, and the top grade fell into his eyes. For some reason, he was not happy.

... are obviously very good friends.

Obviously, in fact, he has always hoped that Ah Yi would not be introverted and afraid of others because of various blows, and hoped that he would be more optimistic and outstanding.

As it is now, I should be happy.

However, Tao Anming tried hard, but failed to laugh.

In a corner of my heart, I casually asked softly:

Why can't it be like before?Why should it suddenly become different and attract so many eyes?

Ah Yi has no sense of existence, relies on and trusts himself wholeheartedly like before, and neither Kai Feng nor Wen Yan will have any intersection with him.

If it is still like that, I can wholeheartedly hope that Ah Yi will become better and happier, and at the same time, Ah Yi does not need to be involved in several alphas to be distressed by conflicts of interest, and I can mediate each of them well, and Everyone also trusts and loves themselves the most...

This thought was so abrupt and difficult to utter, even if it passed from the bottom of his heart inadvertently, Tao Anming felt ashamed to admit it.

He quickly shook his head to erase this thought, and tried his best to let himself listen to what Shen Kaifeng beside him was saying.

Shen Kaifeng didn't believe the result in front of him at all.

The reason why he would make people stir up the topic of "Xia Yi's illegal operation and cheating in exams" is naturally for a reason.He has known Xia Yi for two years, and this omega has always had very "stable" grades - always staying at the lower-middle level.

And recently, he was plotted to be in heat again, got married, and went on a honeymoon. With so many things going on, even if he really changed his mind and decided to study hard, he wouldn't have the energy, would he?

In this case, how could he get his current grades in the exam?

Shen Kaifeng was still in shock, but the exam process didn't give him much room to think.

Following the written test is the practical test.

The order of the practical assessment is based on the results of the written test, that is to say, Xia Yi became the first student to take the practical assessment.

After the excitement brought by the written test, the onlookers who stayed to watch "Xia Yi Appears" did not dare to judge arbitrarily this time.

That is, the internet celebrity who was broadcasting the live broadcast, in order to save himself from being slapped in the face for laughing at him in the barrage, he said:

"He may have memorized the book temporarily. But just knowing that knowledge of music theory is useless, he can't play a level of music in the practice stage."

Others didn't say this, but they felt the same way in their hearts.

Music can't deceive people. Even if he can memorize the history of music, he can't use an instrument to play a moving repertoire without real hard practice and the ability to master it.

At this time, in the examination room ahead, the teacher turned on the optical brain system for the practical examination.

The course does not dictate what instrument each student uses, so students are free to choose.As a result, it is difficult to prepare enough instruments.Therefore, the practical part of this course will be conducted in the optical brain holographic mode.

More importantly, this is more convenient for the system to automatically score difficulty and skills.

Xia Yi was the first to start the exam. He chose to enter the holographic mode, and soon a menu appeared in front of him, which listed hundreds of musical instruments, including all kinds of musical instruments in this world from the era of blue star food collection to the present.

Based on his memory, Xia Yi chose a musical instrument with 88 keys called a piano.This musical instrument was born in the blue star era, and now, in the interstellar era, many artistic cultures of the blue star era have gradually been marginalized because they are outdated, and even become historical memories, but this black and white magical instrument is still popular among people. welcome.

After Xia Yi made his selection, a beautiful grand piano appeared in front of his eyes immediately.Sophisticated holographic technology perfectly simulates the tiniest sounds of musical instruments.

He bowed to the three judging teachers:

"Hi teachers, what I want to play is the piano excerpt from the second movement of Vishniak's Fifth Symphony."

The name of this piece of music sounded very strange, causing many people to look at each other in dismay.But fortunately, the search is convenient, and someone quickly checked it out, and said: "It is a symphony from the Blue Star era. The composer was famous during his lifetime, but because he lives in a country with frequent wars, most of his works are lost, and the most complete ones are preserved." The most important is this Fifth Symphony, dedicated to his suffering hometown."

Looking at the evaluation of this track, it is almost unanimously praised, and it was often performed by top symphony orchestras in the Blue Star era.This track was hailed as "a rare treasure in war music" at the time, and it was recognized as a hall-level music with high technical difficulty.

At this time, someone secretly laughed:

Such a difficult repertoire, separated by a time gap, is already unfamiliar to people nowadays, even teachers are no exception.As a result, it is extremely difficult to arouse the resonance of the listener through performance.

Even if it takes the lead in the difficulty of the repertoire, it may be difficult to get a high score for the completion of skills, and it is even more difficult to express emotions.

I'm afraid that the princess lost her mind and thought she could find another way, but she didn't know how risky it would be if she didn't use the common repertoire.

Xia Yi didn't know what they were thinking.

He chose this track for a simple reason - it made him feel emotionally involved.

The "Fifth Symphony" was created during the war, and the composer can be said to have been writing at home under the constant bombing over the city.The grief for the broken family and the fear of death make this track the pinnacle of expressiveness, and it is worthy of the extremely high evaluation.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, once led troops to guard Jia'an Pass. He once witnessed immature-faced children holding up curling blades and roaring to attack. He once saw soldiers who had been cut off from half of their bodies lying on the ground, and the ground was stained red with blood. , Stretched out his hand in the direction of his hometown...

Those memories were pressed deep in his memory, he didn't dare to think about them, but they actually existed there.When choosing a track, the teenager heard this symphony by accident. In the pathetic tune of the clarinet and the mournful recitation of the piano, all the past rolled up and almost drowned him.

' That's it. '

Xia Yi collected his emotions and made a decisive decision.

Good music is so evocative that he wants to play it, it's as simple as that.

The boy sat on the piano bench, took a deep breath, and then suddenly pressed his hands on the piano!

With a bang, everyone's attention was attracted.

Immediately afterwards, the boy's hands were like flying seabirds, tossing and moving quickly on the keys, playing rapid music.

He played the second movement of the Fifth Symphony.

It is different from the description of the peaceful life in the past in the first movement, the grief and madness of the tragic war in the third movement, and the strong desire for victory in the fourth movement. It embodies a very contradictory feeling: in the When the cruelty of the war really came, people recalled the past in the crisis and felt the cruelty of reality at the same time.In this way, in this part, the blissful joy of the past fantasy and the heavy sadness of reality go hand in hand, making this movement have a wonderful sense of paradox and tearing.

The difficulty of this piece is not small, mainly because the rhythm of the part that expresses the cruelty of war is very fast, and the fingers must strike the keys with high frequency, and it spans several octaves.

There are many musics expressing war, and most of them are grand. Whether it shows the broken mountains and rivers or the bravery of the army, they all have an open pattern.

It's like the third movement of this symphony.

But the second movement is different, it is more like starting from a microscopic point of view, reflecting and confiding.

After the thunder-like loud noise at the beginning, the music that follows suddenly turns soft, and it can even be called beautiful and quiet.

The soft 3/4 beat adagio and even the slowest adagio gently explain the peaceful life, and the occasional cheerful minor tune seems to describe a morning when children are chattering.This section of the symphony is completed by piano, clarinet, harp and other instruments. Now Xia Yi only plays on the piano. Naturally, it is not as layered as the symphony. It is a little thin, but it still clearly outlines the main body of the music.

This softness makes people slowly immersed in a peaceful mood. It seems that beautiful houses with red roofs and white walls appear in front of them, located in the lush forest.Children are playing, birds are flying, it is a peaceful and beautiful life.

However, suddenly, the left hand continuously changed several chords at the treble, and at the same time the sustain pedal was stepped heavily, and the almost sharp dissonance shattered the beautiful dream at once, almost screaming in horror.

It turned out that the previous tranquility was just a memory of self-deception, and the coldness of reality mercilessly pierced through the last sweet dream amidst the roar of artillery fire.

The music became hurried and flustered, and the figure of the young man who was playing began to sway slightly with the strength of his arms.He stretched his arms, turned his hands over the keys, and the center of gravity of his body changed involuntarily as the melody progressed.

The music becomes thrilling and makes people's hearts tugged.

The judge teacher couldn't help looking at the young man who was playing hard in the holographic system through the optical brain, but saw that his delicate face was anxious because of the frowning of his brows, and his body was sore from stepping on the pedal hard or hitting the keys with all his strength. Lean forward and backward slightly.

Taking a closer look, his eyes were actually closed, and he didn't look at the simulated music score that the holographic system automatically turned pages in front of him!But his long, bushy eyelashes trembled, as if tensed by this change in the melody.

Such a gesture, and more importantly, the thrilling and beautiful music, made all the audience feel shocked.

Even the Internet celebrity who was busy with the live broadcast at the beginning, gradually shut up and couldn't say a word, just felt that his whole mind was intimidated by the melody and immersed in it.

Looking at the performer with his hands flying, his eyes are completely different:

This is not an exam.

In other words, when everyone just regards it as an exam, the examinee himself does not!

He is playing, expressing, and interpreting the music he feels.The abundant emotions expressed in the melody all speak of his surging heart at the moment.

This part of the selection has two parallel main lines, one half is the fantasy of the good life in the past, and the other half is the cold and cruel reality and death.They are so intertwined that it is impossible to tell what is real and what is unreal.

And it is even more disturbing to think that those soft melodies are nothing but memories of the past, nothing but old dreams woven by people's self-paralysis in the too painful reality.

The final ending melody of the music selection falls on the middle plate in 4/4 time in C minor, and stops abruptly after the last two bars.

The young man raised his hands from the keys, and he sat quietly on the piano bench for a moment, concentrating on the emotions in his heart, but the sudden crisp applause made him wake up from his own world, and looked up.

"Very, very good!"

The judge teacher almost shouted and ended the holographic exam simulation system at the same time.

The piano and the quiet surroundings suddenly became unreal, and then turned into tiny spots of light, receding from Xia Yi's surroundings like flowing water.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, opened his eyes in a real sense, took off the holographic simulation helmet on his head, stood up and bowed to the judges and teachers again.

The teacher who applauded at the beginning was very excited and kept praising his outstanding performance. It wasn't until another teacher tugged on his sleeve to indicate that it was time to grade that he could barely restrain himself and sat back on the chair.

——Because of the one-way shielding, Xia Yi didn't know that there was also applause among the observers who came here with various purposes at the back of the examination room.

At first it was weak and embarrassing, but gradually, more than half of the dozen or so onlookers joined in and applauded for the performance just now.

Listening to the weak to loud applause, Tao Anming's arms were as heavy as lead, but he had to lift them up.However, when his palms clapped together, he felt a tingling pain in his palms.I was stunned for a while and looked down, only to realize that at some point, the palm of my hand had been pinched by myself.
