Chapter 13 Convincing People with Rotten (This chapter is free)

The life of the third year of high school has only started for a few days, and the students all feel that the atmosphere is quite different from before.The classrooms between classes are no longer so noisy, there are no swarms of bees rushing towards the cafeteria after school, no one secretly sends text messages on their mobile phones during class, and the evening self-study classrooms are almost full.

On Friday afternoon, Hu Yiqing didn't come to teach Yang Jingxing because she was going back to the city to visit her parents.At around eight o'clock, Ren Chuyu and Li Ya, who finished their self-study, came to the piano room to inquire about how Yang Jingxing's piano practice was.Ren Chuyu also brought snacks to share with Yang Jingxing, but asked Yang Jingxing to play two ditties in return.Ren Chuyu also played two pieces herself, but she was better than Yang Jingxing.

On Saturday morning, Yang Jingxing received a call from Hu Yiqing, asking him if he would like to enroll in a cram school to learn music theory. He also said that some cram classes are run by teachers from the music school, which will be very helpful for the exam.

Yang Jingxing still said that he already had a good teacher, and he didn't want to do anything unnecessary.Hu Yiqing said that she knew a friend who helped her professor run a class, and she could ask for some study materials for the exam.Yang Jingxing thanked you again.

During class, Yang Jingxing's unintentional pen-turning movements made Tao Meng froze.But a piano is a piano after all, even if it is 599, it is much more difficult to practice well than to spin a gel pen in your hand so that people will be dazzled.

At about three o'clock, a group of people suddenly came to the piano room, about ten of them.Yang Jingxing knew two people, one was the director of the music teaching and research section, and the other was the vice principal.A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl seems to be the main character, and there are two white foreigners, one male and one female.

This group of people all looked at Yang Jingxing, obviously he shouldn't be here.Although the air conditioner was turned on in the room, Yang Jingxing was still sweating.The white shirt and black trousers were also soaked with sweat, they were wet and dry, and many salt stains could be clearly seen now.There was unfinished bread and water on the chair next to him.

The director of the teaching and research section asked Yang Jingxing: "Didn't you say to use it at night? Zhou Hanhui is going to participate in the interview at the Juliet Conservatory of Music, hurry up!"

Zhou Hanhui is obviously that little girl, she must be from Shangpu Junior High School.The little girl looked at Yang Jingxing with unfriendly eyes, as if her things had been robbed.And behind her should be his parents, the father is holding a small camera in his hand, and the bag in her mother's hand should be enough to buy a good piano, why come here.

Yang Jingxing hurriedly packed his things, and quickly wiped the piano keys and stool clean, preparing to flee, but suddenly changed his mind: "I'm sorry, can I stay and take a look?"

A group of people were surprised, but the little girl's father was quite friendly and asked his daughter, "Han Hui, this brother wants to stay and cheer for you, would you like to?"

The little girl looked at Yang Jingxing again and nodded.Yang Jingxing quickly thanked him, and ran to sit in the back seat.

Juliet's interviewer tried the piano first, and then asked Zhou Hanhui to prepare.It took half an hour to prepare, the stools were adjusted for a few minutes, drinking water, sitting quietly... the others sat quietly, and occasionally spoke very quietly.

After it finally started, Yang Jingxing recognized that Zhou Hanhui was playing Beethoven's No.14 Piano Sonata. Coincidentally, he also tried it this morning.

Ashamed, look at the little girl, how well she plays, with such small hands, she can handle many difficult sentences very well, and the sound is correct.When playing the piano, Zhou Hanhui's face had a firmness and concentration that didn't match his age.

Zhou Hanhui played the whole piece, about 10 minutes.After it was over, Yang Jingxing applauded alone, causing others to look at him, so he quickly stopped.

Zhou Hanhui was not affected, took a break for 2 minutes, and continued to play a piece by Mendelssohn. The last piece by Yang Jingxing was not known, but he knew that the little girl's skills were several grades higher than his current self.

Sure enough, Zhou Hanhui was praised and praised by everyone.But Zhou Hanhui seemed to have been numb by the praise, and was not very happy, just looked at Yang Jingxing, as if showing off.Just before she came in, she had already learned Yang Jingxing's piano skills outside the door.

After Zhou Hanhui and his group left, Yang Jingxing sat in front of the piano again, and sat for a long time before starting to play the Moonlight Sonata.This is also a relatively simple piece of music. Yang Jingxing tried to use his brain and precise fingers to complete the performance to his satisfaction, but it was really not that easy.

In fact, Zhou Hanhui and his group hadn't left yet. They were discussing in the teacher's lounge next to them, and they could still vaguely hear the sound of Yang Jingxing's piano.Among this group of people, two are interviewers from Juliet, and one is Zhou Hanhui's teacher, the famous piano professor Li Yingzhen.And Zhou Hanhui's parents are obviously also experts.They were under a lot of pressure listening to Yang Jingxing's piano sound.

The director of the teaching and research section decided to ask Yang Jingxing to stop making noise, but Li Yingzhen stopped him suddenly and said, "Listen, listen to him." Because Yang Jingxing started playing "Memories of Don Juan" again, he is really talented.

Yang Jingxing didn't know that someone was eavesdropping. He read the score of "Don Juan" when he was shopping in a bookstore. He himself thought that this kind of music should be very helpful for practicing skills. A lot.The difficult ones will be covered, so don’t you need to learn the simple ones?Although now I know that this idea is wrong, but it can be used to vent.Just like a player who can't make a free throw can also dunk for fun.These days, every time Yang Jingxing leaves the piano room, he has to relax a few times, and now he is quite proficient.

"Tang Juan" was regarded as an etude by Yang Jingxing, it was not even called an exercise, it was just an exercise.His ten fingers were flying on the keyboard, except for some special paragraphs, at other times he almost ignored the priority, just one fast.

There are a few mispronouncements, and the time is almost completely out of tune.But after listening for 2 minutes, no one spoke in the lounge, and it became very quiet.The two foreigners occasionally raised their eyebrows, but Li Yingzhen frowned more and more, and sat motionless.The little girl Zhou Hanhui was expressionless, turning her body occasionally and pursing her thin lips.

When the long series of minor third chromatic progressions and dot accompaniment came like a storm, the man's head was raised, and he opened his mouth to laugh silently.Li Yingzhen sighed slightly, stood up gently, walked out of the lounge, and stood at the door of the piano room next to her.The others followed suit and stood there listening to Yang Jingxing making noise.

Those long-span arpeggios, progressive octaves, reversed scales, alternating octaves... Yang Jingxing seems to have the same taste, one approach, and many mistakes.But the graininess is still there, barely even and clear.

Zhou Hanhui's father put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Look, everyone has their own strengths that are worth learning. My brother must have practiced very hard to play so fast."

The director of the teaching and research section looked embarrassed: "This student..." I don't know what to say to cater to everyone.

After listening for another 2 minutes, Li Yingzhen pushed the door of the piano room open, and Yang Jingxing's piano sound stopped abruptly.Li Yingzhen led everyone in, and they all stood in front of Qin's right, which was quite scary.Li Yingzhen pointed to Yang Jingxing and said bluntly, "Go ahead, keep playing." Seeing that Yang Jingxing was still reciting the score, she said, "Start from the fifth measure of 140." She is over 50 years old and looks very simple and ordinary. , with a kind face, but a little angry now.

So Yang Jingxing continued, perhaps feeling provoked, as if playing faster than before.Most of the audience looked at Yang Jingxing's hands, and Li Yingzhen's brows began to wrinkle again.After looking at Yang Jingxing for a while, the little girl Zhou Hanhui turned her face away, looking impatient.The female foreigner is the most tolerant, with a happy smile on her face, and she listens very attentively.

Li Yingzhen found out that at least Yang Jingxing didn't have stage fright, and his playing was still as fast and bad as before.After the melody entered the last dozens of bars, Li Yingzhen walked two steps closer to Yang Jing, and the others also adjusted their stances.

A series of octaves clipped three degrees, and Yang Jingxing's fingers became feverish from rubbing against the air.The middle-aged Caucasian man finally laughed out loud "Oh ha", put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood on his heels and shook his body, and exchanged an incredible look with his female colleague who had the same expression as him.

When it was over, Zhou Hanhui's father and two foreigners smiled and applauded Yang Jingxing.But Li Yingzhen stared at Yang Jingxing, still frowning and asked: "You child, do you play the piano or play the piano? How did your teacher teach you?" His words were serious, but his tone was gentler.

Yang Jingxing quickly said: "The teacher hasn't taught this far yet, I'm playing by myself."

"Playing!" Li Yingzhen raised her voice, "The fingering is all wrong, and you don't even know the most basic ones. What do you play? Do you play four-on-six like you do? Look at your octave hand shape, How ugly! How did you position your thumb?" What she said was the truth, Yang Jingxing relied on his extraordinary physical fitness and wide palms to achieve extraordinary speed and accuracy, but his hand shape and fingering were beyond the professional The eyes looked really horrible, and the sound of the piano was even worse.

Yang Jingxing was also pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, I will correct it."

Li Yingzhen looked at Yang Jingxing for a while, and said softly and earnestly: "Correction! You practice like this, your hands are broken!" She regretfully said to the foreigner in English: "We have many gifted children, because there are no children. The opportunity to receive systematic and formal education was wasted..."

This was suspected of slandering Shang Pu. The half-bald director of the teaching and research section quickly explained: "This student has just started practicing piano recently. Our music teacher taught him, but he is not a professional piano teacher."

Yang Jingxing also said: "The teacher taught very well, but I didn't learn well."

The foreigner first greeted Yang Jingxing: "Hi, you play very well."

The male foreigner also shook hands with Yang Jingxing, saying, "Soon, very rare." Looking at Yang Jingxing, they felt like the mvp on the court who saw in the acrobatic troupe that he could throw a few basketballs in the air and keep throwing them into the hoop It's like falling to the ground without letting go.

Yang Jingxing smiled embarrassedly, looked at Zhou Hanhui and said, "I think she can play so well, I am very encouraged." Then he said to the little girl: "I will work hard to match you in the future, you have to work hard, don't let me play hard." Catch up with you."

The little girl was a little girl after all, Zhou Hanhui couldn't help but smile smugly, looked at Yang Jingxing and nodded.

They all laughed, the atmosphere was good, but Li Yingzhen continued to hit Yang Jingxing: "If you continue to practice like this, you won't be able to surpass her! If you want to learn, you must study hard. No matter what you do, the foundation is the most important!"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you teacher, I will study hard."

Li Yingzhen flipped through some of Yang Jingxing's books impatiently, and began to wonder how he practiced the piano all these years, and was still reading music theory, Baier, playing Tang Juan.

But today's protagonist is not Yang Jingxing, so we can't waste too much time, so Li Yingzhen asked, "How tall are you?"

"High school senior."

Li Yingzhen asked the director of the teaching and research section: "Isn't it Teacher Chen?" Teacher Chen is the school's piano teacher, a man in his 40s, and a little famous.

"No, no! He said he wanted to take the composition test at the beginning of school. He never said it before, and his family asked him not to leave the culture class... The teacher in his class is responsible for taking him, Xiao Hu, you have seen it. Did you just graduate? For two years, I studied music education at Quhang Conservatory of Music." The director of the teaching and research section can be regarded as clearing the relationship, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yingzhen sighed softly, put down Yang Jingxing's book, and said, "Then practice hard, we won't bother you anymore."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you teacher."

Li Yingzhen took two steps, then turned around, and handed Yang Jingxing a business card: "Here, what's your name?"

Yang Jingxing glanced at the business card, which read "Li Yingzhen Piano Art Studio of Puhai Conservatory of Music—Professor Li Yingzhen", and bowed again: "Professor Li, my name is Yang Jingxing."

It seemed that Yang Jingxing didn't know that he was famous, so Li Yingzhen led the crowd and left. Before leaving, he told Yang Jingxing, "It's not playing the piano, it's playing music!"

This is Yang Jingxing's biggest problem, but before those basic problems are resolved, it's too early to talk about this problem.

After dinner, Yang Jingxing went back to the piano room to continue.After eight o'clock, Hu Yiqing came, bringing a new hairstyle and some test preparation materials.Yang Jingxing flattered Hu Yiqing for her good-looking hair, but Hu Yiqing didn't care much, and started to talk about business.

In the first test, you have to test music theory, melody writing and song writing.Hu Yiqing said: "I asked, the writing test will not ask you to write a good work, it just depends on whether you know the basic writing knowledge, that is, you need a certain foundation of harmony and chords. I have also read the syllabus of the music theory test. We were much more demanding then, so you have to hurry up. Next time I will bring a few more sets of exam questions and let's take a look."

Yang Jingxing asked, "Mr. Hu, are you free tomorrow?"

Hu Yiqing said: "Yes, we can start practicing in the morning."

Yang Jingxing said, "No, I want to treat you to dinner."

Hu Yiqing smiled: "No need... Let's talk about it after you pass the exam. The re-examination is mainly about harmony, mainly about the natural tone system, you may not have read it yet. There is also sight-singing and ear training, which may not be difficult for you... ...The piano is much higher than our requirements, at least) 9..." From the tone of her voice, she was also very anxious.

Yang Jingxing said: "I will do my best to treat you to dinner."

Hu Yiqing's mind is all on work: "Let's redraft the plan, and don't rest on weekends from now on, is that okay?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I'm really embarrassed."

Hu Yiqing shook her head: "Your main subject teacher has worked much harder than me."

After drawing up the study plan for exam preparation, Yang Jingxing continued to practice the piano, always focusing on basic fingering, and never blindly challenged the difficulty.Hu Yiqing guided Yang Jingxing while reading and preparing lessons by herself, and went to the teacher's lounge to help Yang Jingxing pour water twice.

At ten o'clock, Hu Yiqing asked Yang Jingxing to stop practicing, and asked him what he had learned in music theory by himself, and then gave Yang Jingxing a test to see if he passed the self-study.

Facts have proved that Yang Jingxing has no problem reading scores and intervals, but he is still in the stage of understanding chords.So Hu Yiqing began to combine the piano to teach Yang Jingxing the knowledge of chords, first the chords in the original position, Yang Jingxing was able to draw inferences from one example, and in only 10 minutes, he was able to play all kinds of triads and seventh chords.

Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing enviously: "Sometimes I think you are really smart."

Yang Jingxing panicked: "Stupid most of the time?"

Hu Yiqing smiled: "That's not what it means."

After taking the exam for a while, Hu Yiqing began to teach Yang Jingxing inversion chords again.Hu Yiqing's music theory is obviously much better than her piano. Speaking of it, the regulations are clear, the key points are clear, and the words are clear.

Hu Yiqing thought Yang Jingxing's head would twitch, but this guy could hear what he said clearly, and kept nodding to express his understanding.In just over half an hour, Yang Jingxing learned the basics of chords!

But Hu Yiqing didn't believe in geniuses, so she asked Yang Jingxing to continuously play and practice.Yang Jingxing cooperated very well, and even tried to add some melody by himself after practicing.

It was past eleven o'clock, Yang Jingxing asked Hu Yiqing to rest.Hu Yiqing looked at her watch: "It's late, let's go... Take your things with you, someone will clean it in the morning."

Yang Jingxing said: "I'll see you off, and I'll return it later."

Hu Yiqing was speechless: "Whoever wants you to send it, you should have a good rest so that you can be energetic during the day, and you can't go to bed so late every day."

Yang Jingxing said that he was very energetic, and said: "You stayed with me so late, if I let you go back alone, I would really feel ashamed...not only because I think you are beautiful and dangerous."

Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing in surprise, and after a few seconds, she raised her voice and picked up the teacher's majesty: "Is there any danger in the school... Then go out for a walk, and exercise a bit."

Because it was the time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, many street lights in the school had been turned off, only some main intersections had headlights, and the light was still quite dim.

Because Hu Yiqing was studying in Quhang University, the two naturally talked about it.Quhang Conservatory of Music is much worse than Puhai Conservatory of Music, but the city is still pretty good.

Hearing that Yang Jingxing's home was Jiuchun's, Hu Yiqing was pleasantly surprised and said that she had visited Yingshan during college and remembered that the water in Qingying Reservoir was very clean.

Yang Jingxing said: "It's also very clean now. On behalf of the people of Jiuchun, you are welcome to play at any time."

Hu Yiqing said: "My classmate's name is Bai Yue. Her parents are both your high school teachers. I don't know if you know her."

Yang Jingxing didn't know him, so Hu Yiqing continued: "Bai Yue is currently a graduate student, and she will graduate soon."

Yang Jingxing was grateful: "It's a good thing you didn't read it, otherwise I wouldn't be so lucky."

Hu Yiqing smiled: "I have also suddenly felt a sense of pressure these days, and I really feel like a teacher."

Yang Jingxing flattered: "You have always been an excellent teacher!"

Hu Yiqing looked at Yang Jingxing: "What were you playing when I was in class before, either sending text messages or reading idle books!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Well, you still haven't done a good job. You didn't criticize and correct me in time."

Hu Yiqing smiled: "Then I will criticize you more in the future."

"Thank you, Teacher Hu!"

After walking for 10 minutes, the teacher's dormitory was only 200 meters away. Hu Yiqing told Yang Jingxing to go back and asked, "What time can you get up tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing said, "One o'clock in the afternoon."

Hu Yiqing criticized: "It's better to go to bed early and get up early. This bad habit needs to be broken."
