This star is wrong

Chapter 126 East China Sea International Violin Competition

"First installment was great."

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

"This is too fierce. The first episode of "Singing" won the first place." A second-tier singer in the company was full of admiration.

Li Caiwei showed a proud expression on her face, and said: "Of course, Fang Xing's singing ability is definitely the first echelon in the pop music world."

"I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed." Fang Xing said modestly.

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

"Okay, no problem." The department heads agreed one after another.

Liang Yusong went on to say: "About the recording situation of "Singing Voice", we cannot disclose it to the outside world for the time being. The confidentiality work must be done well. This is the request of the program group."

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

The confidentiality requirements of "Song" are stricter.

Liang Yusong went on to say: "What needs to be considered now is the strategy for the second phase of "Singing", which must be taken seriously.

"According to the information received, Fang Xing was selected as the target singer in the first phase, and Fang Xing was also selected in the second phase, so Fang Xing can't be vigilant in the second phase."

Qiao Yinghong asked aloud: "Do you know who this kicking singer is?"

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

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

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows, and said: "So there is still this holiday, I said, why do you have to pick me. However, apart from me and Chen Lizhu, the other first-time singers have a lot of experience, so it's normal to choose me."

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

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

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

However, if you do this, you will definitely be known by the other party.

Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "No need, since he didn't dare to play in the first round, if he dared to choose me in the second round, then it's your own bad luck."

Liang Yusong asked: "The theme of the second issue is 'The Taste of First Love'. Have you already thought about the song for the competition?"

Fang Xing thought for a while 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 not easy part is that this kind of song is generally more lyrical, and it may not be strong enough for competitions." Liang Yusong analyzed a little Take a look at the features of this theme.

Fang Xing nodded in agreement and said, "I'm also thinking of something to sing."

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

In his opinion, it is impossible for Fang Xing's song inventory to cover every genre.

If there is indeed 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 "The Voice of Songs" followed this route.

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

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

"Are you going to rest for two days?" Liang Yusong asked.

The show "Singing Voice" is very stressful. It's normal to take a break for a day or two after just finishing a competition.

He added: "If you feel tired, take a two-day break first. However, the songs for the next issue are finalized three days in advance, so that we have time to make arrangements 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 only thought that Fang Xing was going back to rest for two days to find inspiration.

……

in fact.

When Fang Xing heard "The Taste of First Love", the first thing Fang Xing thought of was Lu Xianger.

However, if you count your previous life, it was actually not your first love.

There was a relationship in the previous life, which started from the campus.

That period of time was good, she was a bit like Lu Xianger, she was a bit dull and looked easy to bully.

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

At that time, I had just graduated, had no financial foundation, and had no opportunity to perform. I could only do odd jobs in a musical theater troupe. I lived in a basement and ate instant noodles.

Those days were difficult, but they will never be forgotten.

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

Because of the different places, during this period of hopeless days, the two sides tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, and let their respective names be sealed in the address book and become a symbol.

Originally, Fang Xing thought that for the theme of "the taste of first love", the first thing that comes to mind would be the memory from his previous life.

The result was unexpected, the first thing that came to mind was Lu Xianger playing the piano.

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

Originally, Fang Xing thought that in this life, he would never have the impulsiveness and enthusiasm of his first love again.

A person's impulsiveness and enthusiasm for feelings are limited. After those lush years, when facing feelings, they are more calm and calm.

I can still love someone, but not so passionately.

Even if the love is passionate, it will not show it.

……

Fang Xing received a violin competition message from Lu Xianger.

The time is tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the venue is the Symphony Hall of the Donghai International Media Center.

Fang Xing had promised her to go to her match, and since he promised, he still wanted to go.

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

In fact, Fang Xing did like Lu Xiang'er a little bit, but this kind of liking was not love.

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

Also because of this reason, we have known each other for more than three months, and we have only met three times before and after.

Fang Xing originally thought that there was something beautiful, and it looked good from a distance.

However, when hearing "The Taste of First Love", the first person who unexpectedly thought of it was Lu Xianger and her violin.

It may be that I have not tasted the "taste of first love" for so long that I have forgotten what it is like.

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

……

The next day, at two fifty in the afternoon.

Donghai International Media Center, at the entrance of the Symphony Hall.

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

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

"I already sent it just now." Lu Xiang'er took out her phone and looked at it, but she didn't send a message.

"How long ago?"

"Noon."

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

"No way?" Lu Xiang'er was a little uncertain.

"What's wrong? That guy is a star now, maybe he doesn't want to bully us at all." Ning Xiaoyun snorted.

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

"It's already [-]:[-]. If you don't come, it will start. You have to go in and make preparations. Or I'll wait here for a while, and you go in first." Ning Xiaoyun suggested.

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

She said, typing on the phone with her fingers, and sent a message: Are you still here?The game is about to start.

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

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

I saw the reply on WeChat: I am too busy recording the program and I can't make it.

Ning Xiaoyun's face darkened, she clenched her fists and snorted, "I knew it, this guy is too unreliable. This reply must be an excuse, this guy must be cool somewhere!"

Lu Xianger's face was full of disappointment, and she sighed: "He said before that he would record the show, but he might not be able to make it. Let's go in for the competition."

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

Ning Xiaoyun was still annoyed: "How can you compete in such a distraught state? If I had known that guy was so unreliable, I shouldn't have told him about the competition."

Lu Xiang'er quickened her pace and walked towards the gate of the concert hall, halfway there, almost bumping into someone.

"sorry."

She raised her head quickly, said sorry, and was about to go around after she finished speaking.

However, as soon as she looked up, she saw this man waving his hand to greet her.

"It's 55:[-], I'm still on time, right?" Fang Xing grinned at her wearing a mask.

Lu Xiang'er froze in place, her eyes widened, her face full of bewildered expressions.

Her mood seemed to go from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and from hell to heaven again.

After finishing the circle, Lu Xianger raised her brows and said angrily, "You can't make it!"

"I was joking with you." Fang Xing continued to grin.

"Am I that funny?"

Lu Xiang'er puffed her cheeks angrily, pushed Fang Xing away with her elbow, and then walked into the concert hall with big strides.

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

Lu Xiang'er was angry and happy at the same time, the expression on her face couldn't be stretched, she looked weird.

This feeling is a little sour, a little sweet, and a little gasping.

……

into the concert hall.

Lu Xianger hurried to report with the violin on her back.

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

This symphony concert hall is quite large, with [-] seats in the auditorium.

Today is the Donghai International Violin Competition, not a concert, so the audience is not too large.

Most of the audience are relatives and friends of the contestants, and they basically sit in the front few rows.

After sitting down.

Ning Xiaoyun stared at Fang Xing suspiciously, squinted her eyes and asked, "Didn't you say on WeChat that you couldn't make it? Why did you pop out again?"

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

"If Xiangxiang plays out of order because of you, you will be out of luck!" Ning Xiaoyun said threateningly.

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

Ning Xiaoyun said proudly: "You don't need to perform super often. You don't know how good Xiangxiang's talent is. As long as you perform normally, you will definitely get a good ranking."

Donghai International Violin Competition officially started.

The host first introduced the orchestra that accompanied us today, then gave the opening speech, and then let the contestants play.

Lu Xianger is the sixth player.

The violin pieces played by the first five contestants are all of a good level.

As a singer who is well versed in music, Fang Xing can tell the level of these contestants, they are not bad.

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

In my impression, her level is about the same as the previous five players, and they are all on the average line.

As for whether it can get a good ranking, it is still uncertain.

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

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

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

The conductor of the orchestra held the baton flat in front of his face, then glanced around, and after making sure that everyone was ready, he quickly swung down the baton.

The orchestral instruments played simultaneously.

After the orchestra played for a while, it was time for the protagonist of the violin to enter the stage.

The conductor raised his baton and nodded in Lu Xianger's direction.

Lu Xiang'er squeezed the bow tightly, pushed it on the strings, struck out a long note, and officially started playing.

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

I was a little surprised to hear that it was this violin concerto.

If you only look at the technical aspect of this concerto, it is actually not difficult.

Fang Xing has heard Lu Xianger play the violin before, and knows that she can actually play more difficult pieces.

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

If two contestants have similar levels of live performance, then the contestant with more difficult song selection must have a higher score.

Mozart's Violin Concerto No. [-] in G major is indeed a relatively simple piece from a technical perspective.

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

It is necessary to truly understand the preciousness of this piece of music in order to truly play it to its full effect.

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

However, the difficult thing is to play the simple piece well.

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

This is the difference between a violinist and a fiddler.

Mo San is simple, but not simple.

in fact.

This kind of violin competition has not yet reached the time to truly compete at the master level.

The choice of contestants is usually to choose difficult violin pieces, and try to show difficult skills as much as possible, so that it is easier to get high scores.

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

Due to the insufficient standard of the competition, 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 thinks that Lu Xianger should choose the music according to his own wishes.

It doesn't matter if Mozart's Violin Concerto No. [-] in G major doesn't impress the judges.

It's just a game, not life.

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

Ning Xiaoyun originally held back her stomach and wanted to say something, but when she turned her head and saw Fang Xing closed her eyes and listened, she could only hold back her words and looked nervously at Lu Xianger on the stage.

The brisk sound of the violin is like a bird welcoming the morning dew, singing melodiously.

Sometimes flying in the sky, sometimes across the grass.

The notes echoed in the concert hall, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The listeners who listen carefully seem to be able to see a group of innocent children playing on the grass, chasing the birds in the morning, full of joy and innocence.

Listening, Fang Xing could hear a faint 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 memory.

Fang Xing opened his eyes and stared at Lu Xianger on the stage.

I saw her with her eyes closed, playing indulgently, and her whole body was integrated into the melody.

And the violin she was using was the birthday present from her grandfather, the broken and repaired violin.

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

It turned out that what she played was the innocent time in her memory, and she was also missing the old man who gave her the violin.

Fang Xing couldn't help showing a smile on his face, feeling happy for her.

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

This road may not be able to go high or far, but as long as we set off, the notes in our hearts will come alive.

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

In the field of art, machines will never be able to compare with humans, because humans have emotions, each performance is different, and the best performance will always be the next time.

After Lu Xianger finished playing, she paused for a few seconds before putting down the violin and bowing to the audience.

At this moment.

There was a burst of applause from the jury.

Not every judge applauded, after all, not every judge can understand the emotion in this violin piece.

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

The five judges gave Lu Xianger a high score and a low score below the average, and the final score ranked No.3.

Lu Xianger changed back to her school uniform and returned to the auditorium from the backstage.

Ning Xiaoyun ran up and gave her a big hug: "I got No.3, you got No.3, you can go to the Paganini International Competition at the end of the term."

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

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

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

She was both happy and scared.

Fortunately, someone understood the music she played.

This is also what I am afraid of, being seen through my heart.

When Fang Xing watched her play the violin, he not only understood the emotion she expressed, but also thought of a song that he used to participate in the second phase of "The Voice of Songs".

A song that requires the accompaniment of various orchestral instruments including violin, viola, cello, and double bass.
