Chapter 473: Goose falls on the sand!

Lin Zhibai’s performance continues, and the presentation of this piece is becoming more and more complete!

  The changes in the sound of the guqin are like a blurred ink painting, with rich and distinct layers.

Fort sounds can be like burnt ink, rich and strong, while light sounds can be like wet ink, ethereal and clear, with rich transitional colors in between.

Anyone who knows Guqin will be moved!

Especially the contestants, including Qi Chu’s guqin master, were all shocked!

"this…"

 “The song is so well composed!”

“Not only is the music good, but his playing is also impeccable!”

 “Is Lin Zhibai actually a guqin master on the same level as Ye Cai’er!”

“This performance is not inferior to Ye Cai’er’s, not to mention that he also composed an original song!”

"This original piece of music, like "Plum Blossom Three Lanes", is a classic worthy of deep appreciation by the guqin circle!"

“Is Lin Zhibai really a variable in this project!?”

 Originally, the Qizhou players were already in despair, while the Chuzhou players were confident of winning.

But as soon as Lin Zhibai's song came out, the contestants on both sides were shocked. It turned out that Ye Cai'er was not invincible!

Lin Zhibai is completely comparable to her in strength!

Even in terms of his performance in this scene, Lin Zhibai was slightly better than Ye Caier in that scene!

 …

With Lin Zhibai's performance, the audience was even more immersed in it!

"good!"

 “This song is so artistic!”

 “There is a natural hermit style!”

 “Meaningful taste!”

“I thought Ye Cai’er was already invincible, but I didn’t expect another Lin Zhibai to appear!”

 “Lin Zhibai is not famous for his guqin!”

“Not famous for his guqin, it’s not that his guqin is not good, it’s just that he was too low-key in the past and didn’t show it seriously!”

There are many guqin experts or masters in the audience!

 After this competition and the praise of these people, Lin Zhibai’s status in the guqin circle will reach the top of the pyramid!

Why did Ye Cai'er become a **** with the guqin?

 It’s because her performance last year was top-notch!

 All the guqin players in Qizhou and Chuzhou combined, the pressure brought by them is not as terrifying as Ye Cai'er!

 It just so happened that Lin Zhibai came out this year!

He is also a foreign aid, and his strength is comparable to that of Ye Cai'er!

 …

 There are people in the audience who know the piano and those who don’t.

There are few people who don’t know how to play the piano, but they can capture some information from on-site reactions and vague sense of hearing.

 Chinzhou.

 “Is this piece of music by Bai Di good?”

“I don’t understand, but I feel that Chu Ci’s performance is very handsome, the melody is very comfortable to listen to, and I feel full of peace in my heart.”

"That's right!"

“I have been learning Guqin for three years, and I am not very good at it, but I can confirm that Bai Di’s Guqin level is no less than Ye Cai’er!”

"real or fake?"

“Really, a **** guqin lover, Lin Zhibai plays this piece until I want to kneel down to him!”

"It was wrong of me to say that I didn't like Lin Zhibai before. I shouldn't have thought that the guqin circle was higher than the pop music circle. I didn't expect that he, who mainly plays pop music, could not only write guqin music of this level, but also have Immortal playing skills!”

Lin Zhibai can be called a national idol in Qinzhou!

Only a very small number of people in Nuo Da Qinzhou dislike Lin Zhibai.

 But even this very small group of people's position is gradually wavering, and Lin Zhibai's charm is almost irresistible!

 …

 Qizhou.

 “Can anyone tell me?”

 “What is the level of this piece of music?”

 “I’m not a big boss, but my level is amazing!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the rhythm is going to be reversed!?”

“I thought I was doomed, but the richest man seems to have something!”

 “Is this just a bit of something? This is obviously no less than Ye Cai’er’s level!”

"Damn it! I actually questioned Lin Zhibai's participation in this project just to make up for it. I'm so damned good!"

hope!

 The Qizhou audience, who were already in despair, felt hope!

 …

 Chuzhou.

 Someone is panicking!

 “What’s going on with this person!”

 “Why do I feel that his level is no less than Ye Caier?”

“Your feeling is correct, everyone underestimates Lin Zhibai’s guqin skills!”

“The most terrifying thing is that what he played turned out to be a piece of music composed by himself, and the quality of this piece of music is no less than any of the classic guqin music that we are already very familiar with!”

 “Is something going to happen?”

 “Impossible, I believe Cai’er!”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

The expressions of the audience froze, and the roars stopped abruptly.

"How can it be!"

"What's happening here!"

“This man who Cai’er even greeted just now is so scary!?”

 “He is not an ordinary man, he is a ruthless man who defeated Zhuge Qiuliang in running script!”

 “Is Cai’er going to overturn the car?”

“No, Cai’er will get stronger as she goes to the back of the game. She will save her strength in the front and put the bombs at the back.”

Although nervous.

 But Zhaozhou people still have full confidence in Ye Cai'er!

 …

 Middle-earth.

 Many people are confused.

“Ye Caier’s dominance in the guqin circle is no less than Zhuge Qiuliang’s position in the calligraphy circle!”

“Lin Zhibai is competing with Zhuge Qiuliang for the title of the world’s number one calligraphy master. Am I remembering it correctly?”

 “I remember correctly.”

“Then explain to me why Lin Zhibai is still here competing with Ye Cai’er for the title of the world’s number one guqin master?”

 “Because this person is a pervert!”

“Isn’t this too perverted? The world’s number one in two fields at the same time!?”

 “I don’t know how to play the guqin, but he is very good at it?”

“If you don’t know Guqin, then you know the score, right?”

 “I wipe it!”

 “This score!”

 Yes, the scores are out. Lin Zhibai’s performance is over. The total score for this round of performance is 1505!

 Much higher than Ye Cai'er's score of 1488!

Even if the highest and lowest scores are removed, the average score is still 93.8 points!

 It is also 0.8 points higher than Ye Caier!

 Don’t underestimate this gap. In many cases, the difference between the champion and the runner-up is actually just a few tenths of a point.

Although this was only the first round of the Guqin competition, Lin Zhibai really suppressed Ye Cai'er's limelight!

This allows those who don’t know Guqin to appreciate the power of Lin Zhibai!

 In fact, Lin Zhibai felt that the judges did not fully appreciate the charm of "The Questions and Answers of Fishermen and Woodcutter".

  After all, this is the first time I listen to it.

　　It's like some great new songs.

 If this is the first time you listen to it, it is difficult to give a completely rational judgment and conclusion.

However, this score was considered worthy of his performance, and Lin Zhibai was basically satisfied.

 The performance is over.

 After standing up and saying thanks.

Lin Zhibai walked to the backstage and found the other four Qizhou contestants looking at him with burning eyes.

"you…"

Before Lin Zhibai finished speaking, the group of people excitedly said:

“President Lin! It’s all up to you! We were blind before! I didn’t expect your level to reach this level!”

"Strong! Too strong!" "Qizhou's chance to avenge his shame lies with President Lin! Without you, we wouldn't be able to fight Ye Cai'er!"

 “Come on, President Lin!”

 These co-authors knew that they had no chance, so they regarded Lin Zhibai as "the hope of the whole village."

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."

 Since you are a junior player, don’t complain about your teammates being too weak.

If his teammates are not good enough, will Lao Hu spend a lot of money to find himself as a power coach to help him increase his points?

 …

 Then the two contestants performed again.

When all ten guqin masters finished their performances, two of them were eliminated according to the rules.

 It just so happens that one is from Qizhou and the other is from Chuzhou.

 The competition system was relatively gentle at the beginning, but the difficulty increased in the second round.

 Eight into four matches!

However, after watching the first round, the audience no longer cares about how cruel the competition system is, because everyone who knows Guqin knows:

This guqin project is actually a battle between two people—

 Lin Zhibai vs Ye Cai'er!

 The order of appearance in the second round is based on the score ranking in the first round. The higher the ranking, the lower the order of appearance.

Lin Zhibai ranked highest in the first round.

 So the second round will be the last to appear.

Before Lin Zhibai, it was Ye Cai'er, and the two of them had consecutive numbers.

 This directly led to the fact that the performances of the first six contestants did not stir up much excitement among the audience.

Many people even chatted while watching.

 “Lin Zhibai’s score is actually a little higher than Ye Cai’er!”

“Is Lin Zhibai scarier than Ye Cai’er?”

“Not necessarily, Ye Cai’er didn’t use all his strength in the first round.”

　　“In the competition, you must put your ultimate skills behind you.”

“Have you forgotten the song that Ye Cai’er won last year?”

“It definitely blew up the whole audience! Although Gu Qin said it was a bit strange to explode, Ye Cai’er’s explosion was really shocking!”

 “Hey, hey, hey?”

 “Why did Ye Caier go to chat with Lin Zhibai again?”

Just as the second round of the competition was going on, Ye Cai'er, who was supposed to be recuperating, actually went to find Lin Zhibai again.

 …

"Teacher Lin Zhibai, I want to get your authorization. I really like the "Qiao Qiao Qiao" you just played!"

 “No problem, I’ll open the copyright to you.”

Lin Zhibai felt the power of Ye Cai'er. For such a top guqin master, if he authorized his works, wouldn't he help him promote his guqin works in disguise in the future?

So Lin Zhibai agreed very readily.

He doesn't care about things like copyright fees or other things that are not expensive. He has to take a long-term view.

 Besides, no matter it is "Three Plum Blossom Lanes".

 Or "Questions and Answers for Fishermen and Woodcutter" and the works I will prepare next.

They are all classic masterpieces that have been handed down from previous generations. Like "Journey to the West", there is no copyright. In some classics, even the author cannot be found.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ye Cai'er was overjoyed. Lin Zhibai agreed so readily that she admired his master's demeanor!

If someone else had written such an excellent piece of music, and they wanted to get the authorization, they would probably have to negotiate the price very hard.

 But Lin Zhibai was so generous!

 Presumably the other person must be someone who has sincere feelings for the guqin just like me!

 Ye Cai'er truly admired such a person. She bowed repeatedly, her attitude even more respectful than before!

 Because to Ye Cai'er, Lin Zhibai is more than just her opponent.

 The other party is even a great guqin composer!

　　is.

Ye Cai'er faced Lin Zhibai, and it felt like the king of singers faced a top singer, and he took the initiative to lower his attitude.

 It’s just that Ye Cai’er doesn’t know.

How many interpretations will appear in the eyes of the audience about her act of expressing gratitude to Lin Zhibai.

 …

 Chinzhou.

“Why did Ye Cai’er go and bow to Chu Ci again?”

“God knows, but she smiles so sweetly, is she trying to hook up with Bai Di?”

 “Be serious! You are our opponents!”

 …

 Qizhou.

“What’s going on? Ye Cai’er is obsessed with the richest man?”

“It’s not like hey, I feel like I’m expressing some kind of gratitude.”

 “What is she thankful for?”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

“Cai’er, my Cai’er, calm down, look at your worthless look!”

 “So humble!”

“What’s going on with Lin Zhibai, making us, Cai’er, grovel?”

 …

 Middle-earth.

“Haha, does Ye Cai’er like Lin Zhibai? I think she also chatted with Lin Zhibai before.”

 “I don’t know.”

“How come these two don’t have any competitiveness as rivals?”

 …

 There is indeed no smell of gunpowder.

However, the duel between the two can still attract everyone's attention.

When Ye Cai'er's second round of performance was about to begin, the audience even put aside gossip and speculation.

 Just in everyone's listening ear.

 Ye Cai'er's second round of performance music started playing.

 This is another classic guqin piece passed down from ancient times, called "Nong Yue".

　　It has also been adapted in some ways to suit Ye Cai'er's style.

 Compared to the adaptation of "Yunyu Wushan", this time it will undoubtedly be more successful!

However, in terms of technical performance, Lin Zhibai didn't feel that his opponent had made much progress.

 Is this the end of your strength?

 Or are you hiding your strength, waiting to be used at the end?

 After all, with the level of Lin Zhibai and Ye Cai'er, they can easily advance to the finals without using their ultimate skills.

 “The average score is 93.5 points!”

 The score came out, crushing all the previous players, but it was still not as good as "The Questions and Answers of Fishermen and Woodcutter" played by Lin Zhibai in the first round.

Ye Cai'er stood up to thank the audience and winked lightly at Lin Zhibai, who was about to appear.

　　I did not exert any force this round.

 It can be regarded as a thank you to Lin Zhibai for generously authorizing his work.

But in the next two rounds, I must show my true strength.

Lin Zhibai didn’t understand Ye Caier’s blinking message, but he nodded with a smile and walked to the stage.

 For Lin Zhibai, this is not a competition.

 In other words, this is not exactly a game, he has his own deeper intention——

Let us take advantage of this competition, which has attracted the attention of countless people in several continents, to release those classic guqin works from the past!

 After all, such an opportunity is so rare!

“The Three of Plum Blossoms has come out, and the Questions and Answers of Fishermen and Woodcutter have come out, and it’s the next one’s turn.”

Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes.

 At the same time, the host’s voice sounded:

"Then it's our turn for Lin Zhibai, who ranked first in the first round, to play. I don't know what kind of wonderful performance Mr. Lin Zhibai will bring us in the second round. As for what he will perform in the second round, The work is also his own guqin piece "Goose Falling on the Sand"!"

 Did you create it yourself again?

 Is this how Qu Dad competes?

 After the two rounds, I didn’t play any guqin music handed down from ancient times. I only played the guqin music I composed...

But isn’t this song title too arrogant?

Among the top ten famous songs of Blue Star, there happens to be a piece called "Falling Wild Goose".

Some audiences in Qizhou who have better memories still remember that Xia Xinyi, the most talented woman in Qizhou, once performed "Falling Wild Goose" at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Conference.

 And now.

Lin Zhibai is going to perform an original song called "Goose Falling on the Sand", which inevitably makes people have some wild thoughts.

However, besides thinking about it, I am still looking forward to it. Is there an element of luck in the first round? Can Lin Zhibai beat Ye Cai'er again?

  The activity was not finished until close to ten o'clock, so I rushed to work as soon as I got back.
