Dragon's Origin

Still, the same sentiment remains: Grandmasters are Grandmasters. Their skill and artistry are simply on a completely different level compared to those mediocre talents currently in the Royal Symphony Orchestra. Picking out any one of them would easily crush a whole bunch of those in the orchestra.

Even if Wang Sheng initially came with the intention of finding fault while appreciating the performance, he couldn't deny that a master is indeed a master. With Wang Sheng's acute hearing, he could only discern no more than ten minor flaws in the entire performance, which could truly be described as perfect.

As soon as Wang Sheng's evaluation came out, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of those performing masters. From Wang Sheng's earlier comments to the members of the symphony orchestra, they could tell that Wang Sheng truly understood and was a real expert. Now that an expert said they were amazed, it made them happier than ten thousand ordinary people applauding for ten minutes.

"Stop with the flattery, let's get to the substance," Grandmaster Yu clearly understood Wang Sheng's mindset and directly stated it. Although his friends were arrogant, they were very admiring of true masters. If Wang Sheng only praised them, he probably wouldn't be able to impress these friends and satisfy them.

"Alright, then I'll point out some not-so-good things," Wang Sheng also knew the quirky temperaments of these artists. If you just flattered them, they would think you had bad character and might ignore you. You had to show some real skills to convince them.

Hearing that Wang Sheng was going to comment on the shortcomings of the Grandmasters, Grandmaster Yu and the others sat up straight and waited, while even the members of the symphony orchestra quietly calmed down, waiting to hear how much of a gap there was between them and these Grandmasters.

"From the perspective of each individual's performance level, except for two minor flaws, everything else can be said to be perfect," Wang Sheng said very sincerely, "Most of the other issues are coordination problems. After all, you all arrived at different times, and the practice time wasn't long enough, so in terms of cooperation, there is still a slight lack of tacit understanding."

After speaking, Wang Sheng didn't wait for Grandmaster Yu to ask in detail and began to talk about the coordination problems of everyone one by one.

These Grandmasters were used to performing solo, so they still had a little problem with following the conductor. This was a common problem, almost everyone made this mistake, but their individual skills were so strong that they could instantly detect the problem and immediately compensate.

But for Wang Sheng, these slightly uncoordinated places were simply unbearable flaws. As he pointed them out one by one, everyone who was mentioned seriously recalled and nodded. It was indeed a mistake they had made at the time, and they didn't expect Wang Sheng to list them out one by one.

Wang Sheng also said that this was caused by insufficient practice, which was normal. The first one to arrive had already started learning how to integrate spiritual energy into the music, while the last one had just learned the staff, the gap was too big.

With such a huge gap, it was already amazing that everyone's performance could reach such a level. Even if Wang Sheng could point out a hundred minor flaws in everyone's lack of cooperation, it couldn't negate the extremely high level of the performance just now.

For these Grandmasters, these coordination problems were unavoidable. Wang Sheng pointed them out one by one, and everyone nodded, even Grandmaster Dan was no exception. What Wang Sheng said made sense. He was a musical Grandmaster. He didn't accept Wang Sheng before because he had only heard of him, but now that Wang Sheng pointed out the problems that he himself was aware of in front of him, he naturally accepted it. As a Grandmaster, he had this demeanor.

After a wonderful commentary was finished one by one, the performing masters nodded frequently. Seeing this, Grandmaster Yu knew that Wang Sheng had passed this test, and he was also happy for Wang Sheng.

"Wait," just as everyone was pondering how to improve, Grandmaster Dan suddenly opened his mouth, "Didn't Duke say just now that there were still two personal performance flaws? Why didn't Duke mention them?"

Only then did everyone remember that the first sentence Wang Sheng said was that there were two minor flaws in personal performance, but after that, he had been talking about everyone's coordination problems. If Grandmaster Dan hadn't been pondering every word of Wang Sheng, he might have been fooled by Wang Sheng.

"If there are indeed flaws, everyone will be grateful to you if you point them out," Grandmaster Yu also knew that Wang Sheng didn't mention the personal performance problems to save face for everyone. In any case, coordination problems could be said to be a problem for everyone, but personal performance problems were that person's problem. No one would be happy if they were pointed out.

But Grandmaster Yu knew even better the quirky temperaments of these friends. If there really was a problem and Wang Sheng didn't point it out, it would be looking down on them, so he still advised Wang Sheng to speak out, so as not to embarrass everyone.

"Actually, it's not a big problem," Wang Sheng smiled slightly, and then said unceremoniously: "The first one is actually the zither."

The master in charge of playing the zither raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and waited quietly to hear what Wang Sheng was going to say.

"One of the zither's strings is broken, and it hasn't been replaced," Wang Sheng pointed to the zither and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that the string wouldn't be used, so there was no need to replace it. But I didn't expect the master's playing habits."

After speaking, Wang Sheng gestured a few times, and everyone could see at a glance that it was a fixed gesture when playing the zither.

"The master is used to having a string there," Wang Sheng said, gesturing to press the strings: "Even if you don't use that string, the master's hand is used to pressing several adjacent strings at the same time. Suddenly lacking one string, it caused one finger to press directly into the air. The sound of the finger tapping on the zither is a small noise, but it mainly affects the smoothness of the playing, which is a small flaw."

Everyone saw that one of the zither's strings was broken, and now hearing Wang Sheng's explanation, everyone nodded secretly in their hearts. Even the master who played the zither was the same. He was indeed a little unaccustomed to it when playing just now, but as a Grandmaster, he immediately adjusted.

But this was, after all, a small flaw. As the person involved, the master did not deny it and nodded. This was because of the instrument problem, not a war crime, and had little to do with the master. Wang Sheng always insisted that a workman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his job well, and the error of unfavorable equipment cannot be counted on the master.

"What about the other one?" Grandmaster Dan asked anxiously, he was extremely eager for Wang Sheng to say it, to see if this Wang Sheng was just a false reputation.

"The other one is Grandmaster Dan you," Wang Sheng smiled and opened his mouth to Grandmaster Dan without hesitation: "However, it has nothing to do with your skills, it is also a problem with the instrument."

In everyone's strange eyes, Wang Sheng looked at Grandmaster Dan and said with a smile: "Master, there should be a very thin long needle in your flute, which affects the tone of the flute when playing."
