This star is wrong

Chapter 177
The next morning.

Genoa was very lively on Tuesday.

Since this is the hometown of Paganini, there are many street performers playing the violin on the streets around Piazza Ferrari.

During the Paganini International Violin Competition, some players even performed on the street.

This may be the unique scenery of Genoa.

The contestants of these violin competitions are different from street performers. They don't put the violin case in front of them, but just play seriously there.

Every experience in life will have an impact on thinking.

It is also a unique experience to stand on the street and play in front of strangers.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er made an appointment to meet at Frari Square, so they arrived here ahead of schedule.

Not long after, Lu Xiang'er walked up to her quietly, patted her shoulder quickly, and then walked out from the other side with a happy smile all over her face.

Fang Xing looked her up and down, and saw that she had dressed up with intentions, but her makeup skills were average, even so, she couldn't hide her good foundation, just a little powder and light lipstick, she was already pretty enough.

"Are you sure, you can really come out to play alone?" Fang Xing asked.

"Well, I'm not a child. My mother thought about sending me to study abroad before. I'm very independent, okay? My mother and her good sister made arrangements yesterday for a day trip to Genoa today. I originally I want to go too, but later I said I wanted to watch other players compete, so I came out alone." Lu Xianger nodded and praised her shrewdness.

Fang Xing pointed to the violin player in front of him, and said, "Then you can fight a hundred battles and you won't be imperiled."

Lu Xianger looked over with her fingers and saw that the street performer playing the violin on the street was Patrick Pater.

Moreover, Patrick Pater opened the violin case and put it in front of him. There were already passing tourists throwing change into his violin case.

"That's... the contestant from yesterday's competition?" Lu Xiang'er couldn't believe her eyes.

"Contestant No. 1, the player with the highest score yesterday, is currently your biggest competitor." Fang Xing added.

"He...he is a street performer, is he short of money?" Lu Xiang'er couldn't understand.

"A person who uses a [-] Euro violin to perform on the street, do you think he is short of money?" Fang Xing asked with a smile.

The violin Patrick Pater is playing now is not the one he played yesterday.

Fang Xing could hear it by listening to the tone.

The violin he uses today is not as good as the one yesterday, but it costs at least 130,000 Euros, which is equivalent to [-] RMB in China.

"Then he..."

Lu Xiang'er didn't understand.

If you are not short of money and want to play on the street, you can just play directly. There is no need to use a violin case to pick up change from tourists.

"If you ask in the past, you won't know."

As Fang Xing spoke, he pulled Lu Xianger over and stood in front of Patrick Peet, watching him play.

Patrick Pater was slightly fat, and when he was playing, he found two tourists stopped to listen.

Although there are many tourists in Plaza Frari, there are not many tourists who really stop to enjoy the performances of street performers.

Moreover, playing the violin is quite boring among street performers.

Therefore, even if tourists stop, they usually leave after listening for a while.

Patrick Pater noticed someone stopped, took a quick glance, and then was attracted by Lu Xianger.

Not only because this girl is pretty, but also because Lu Xianger was his biggest competitor in yesterday's competition.

Patrick Pater put down his bow and said something in German in a questioning tone.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er didn't understand it, but they could tell from the tone that it was an interrogative sentence.

Patrick Petter is an Austrian whose official language is German.

He found that Fang Xing and the two didn't understand, so he switched to English: "Hello?"

Fang Xing politely explained in English: "You can pretend that we don't exist and continue playing."

Patrick Pate was very cautious, and replied: "If the lady next to you can enter the semi-finals, she will be my competitor. I don't want you to know more about it."

Fang Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "None of the contestants who can enter the semi-finals is weak, as long as they play their own pieces well, there is no point in being wary of other contestants."

"You're right, but you're still going to affect me," Patrick Pater replied.

Fang Xing pointed to the violin case in front of him, and asked, "Do I need to pay?"

Patrick Pate shook his head and replied, "No, I don't live on this money."

"Then why do you still charge money?" Fang Xing continued to ask.

"I just want to be a complete busker, that's all." Patrick Pater didn't shy away either.

He just wants to experience what it's like to be a street performer, although he doesn't make money from street performances.

"Then do you mind if there is another competitor next to you?" Fang Xing said, looking back at Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er stared, then quickly shrank back: "I don't want it."

"Aren't you really going to try it?" Fang Xing sang "Phantom of the Opera" on the street before, so he didn't have any pressure on street performers.

Lu Xianger was different, she kept shaking her head: "No."

"Try it, maybe if you break through this barrier, you will grow up?" Fang Xing stretched out his hand to pull her.

"No, no, no..." Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips, almost crying.

"If you don't want to play, then I'll do it." Fang Xing took her violin case, opened it, took out the violin, put it on his shoulder and began to pluck the strings.

Patrick Pater was beside him, staring at the two of them with wide eyes.

The instruments are more or less in common, Fang Xing knows a little bit of the violin.

However, I am not a professional violinist.

So I can play one or two pieces, but the level is relatively average.

Fang Xing tried to play the song "Moonlight Sonata" that Lu Xiang'er competed in yesterday, and at the eighth bar, two notes were played.

Lu Xianger let out a "puchi" laugh, quickly covered her mouth, stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xing's arm, and begged, "Can we stop being embarrassing here?"

"I've lost everyone, won't you help me make up for it?" Fang Xing stuffed the violin.

On the streets of Piazza Frari, a well-played violin will not attract many tourists.

On the contrary, it was bared, which attracted the attention of a wave of tourists.

Many tourists are looking here, wanting to see who is playing the violin so badly.

Fang has already woken up that "the jade is in the front", Lu Xiang'er is not so afraid.

It's like in KTV, the person who can most energize the atmosphere is actually the elder brother who is tone deaf.

Some people have already lost all of them, and no matter how badly others sing, it is not the worst, so it is easy.

Therefore, Lu Xiang'er was not so scared, took the violin and started to play.

This performance is Mozart's Concerto No. [-] in A major, the first movement.

After Lu Xianger started playing, she was serious, her performance was good, and anyone who understands music can hear it.

Because someone was pissed off before, a beautiful girl with a high level of performance was suddenly replaced, which immediately attracted many tourists to stop.

Patrick Pate has been here all morning, and the total number of people who stopped and listened before and after is not as many as now.

Hearing that Lu Xianger was playing seriously, Patrick Pater, a competitor, was a little unconvinced.

After all, in yesterday's game, he scored first in the audience, while Lu Xianger was only second.

However, when it comes to performing arts on the street, the contrast is very tragic.

Patrick Pater was naturally unconvinced, and began to put on the bow, and also played Mozart's Concerto No. [-] in A major, the first movement.

The two began to fight with the sound of the piano, playing the violin to each other.

The sound of the violin came out, and the two violins sounded like an ensemble, but what they played was full of gunpowder.

Especially when it comes to the Huacai section, the clank and clank sound of the piano is like a thousand birds competing to sing.

After the first movement was played, the two stopped at the same time.

The tourists around started applauding involuntarily.

Fang Xing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

For the audience, the level of violin performance is actually not that important, after all, ordinary audiences cannot distinguish the subtle difference.

However, when the competition arises, the audience loves to watch it.

The fiercer the competition, the stronger the smell of gunpowder, and the more enthusiastic the audience will watch it.

This is the same as music variety shows, the more competitive the show is, the more popular it will be.

A blond female tourist took out some change and asked in English, "Do I need to pay?"

Patrick Pate waved his hand and said, "You can pay, but I don't need to."

Lu Xianger hurriedly put the violin back into the box, and ran away holding Fang Xing's arm: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's too embarrassing."

"How embarrassing? Didn't you behave very well?" Fang Xing felt that her performance just now was indeed very good.

"I've never been a street performer before, it's too scary." Lu Xiang'er patted her chest, as if she hadn't come out of the nervousness just now.

"Life always has to go through some things. Since you choose to play the violin, you always have to perform in front of people. If you can't pass the level of street performance, you will definitely miss something."

Fang Xing used to be timid when he performed musicals in his previous life, especially when performing in the open air, where there were audiences in twos and threes, or even no audience.

That feeling is actually an uncomfortable experience for the performer.

However, after achieving something, looking back, these experiences are exactly the process of growing up.

"I've already performed on the street, so I've already passed this level, so I don't need to pass it in the future, right?" Lu Xianger looked as if she had found a good reason.

"Okay. Where do you want to go now?" Fang Xing was about to officially start today's game.

"Hmm... San Lorenzo Cathedral, how about it? I want to visit the church." Lu Xianger thought about it and finally chose this attraction.

"Okay, let's go to church."

Many girls have a unique obsession with church.

Because in their hearts, the church represents loyalty and vows.

Therefore, Fang Xing took her hand and walked in the direction of San Lorenzo Cathedral.
