Super Dimensional Wizard

 Outside of Uriel's copy.

“Do you think it is possible for Luigi to reach the stars?” Laplace looked at the picture in the holographic live broadcast and asked Angel curiously.

While maintaining the live broadcast, Angel thought: "Luigi's two pieces of music were performed very well. Especially his design of "Galaxy Hymn" also included Gulemo's performance, which can be said to be a stroke of genius. "

 Laplace: "So you think Luigi can win?"

Angor thought for a moment and nodded.

 He doesn’t think Luigi can take down Gulemo in two rounds, but it should be no problem in one round.

And Luigi only needs to win one round to be considered successful.

 So, the possibility of Luigi reaching for the stars is still very high.

Angor asked curiously: "What do you think?"

 Laplace pondered for a moment: "You know, I'm not very interested in art. My appreciation of music is only at the level of a passerby."

“If you just look at the four tracks they performed before, my favorite is actually..."Poetry of War"."

 In other words, Laplace is actually more partial to Gulemo.

 Ingres can understand Laplace’s choice. She didn't talk about it from the perspective of appreciation, but just from her listening experience.

Her answer is completely in line with the sense of hearing first.

 “Shocking” music is often more eye-catching and can leave a deeper impression.

　　It is similar to a singer constantly hitting high notes on the stage, directly reaching people's natural inspiration. It is definitely more eye-catching than graceful chanting.

Of course, this does not mean that "Poetry of War" is a work of virtuosity.

Even if it were Angel's ranking, he would rank "Poetry of War" at the top.

However, from a comprehensive perspective, "Grand Garden" has plug-in bonuses, and "Galaxy Hymn" has careful design. Angel personally feels that Luigi is more ingenious.

 Laplace: "Ingenuity is certainly pleasing to the eye, but ingenuity is not considered hard power, right?"

Angor: "This is true."

After a pause, Angel continued: "However, in my opinion, a performance is not only a display of hard power, but also the atmosphere, environment, and even the construction of the audience's psychological comfort zone. Ingenuity is also included. These are the corresponding conditions that constitute a perfect performance.”

 It can be said to be soft power.

 A performance needs to combine hard power and soft power, and cannot just look at personal skills.

 Many factors will affect the distinction between spectators and referees.

Laplace thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but I still prefer Gulemo's performance."

Angel glanced at Laplace. He could vaguely feel that Laplace's response at this moment was slightly more emotional than rational.

This is not to say that Laplace fell into an emotional state.

But in this duel, Laplace may have been too familiar with Luigi's performance, and seeing Luigi's performance did not bring much novelty.

　　It was Gulemo’s music, from style to performance effect, it was the first time for Laplace to see it. On the contrary, it can arouse her emotions even more.

Angor had seen too many musical performances, especially during the year when he took the Bauhinia to Fan Continent. His daily entertainment on the ship was to watch various dramas and performances on the holographic tablet. Among them, he has not seen more than 100,000, but tens of thousands of large-scale concerts on Earth.

 So, after seeing more, he can evaluate more rationally.

But then again, Gulemo's performance is indeed outstanding. If Gulemo was like Luigi and had several days of preparation time, his performance would definitely be more exciting than Luigi's.

Even if it is a temporary performance now, in Angel's opinion, it is not inferior to Luigi.

Angor thought for a while, nodded and said, "I also like Gulemo's performance."

 …

The perspective returns to the copy.

Muloy stood in the center of the courtyard, his hands hanging down.

"I have notes in both hands now. The left hand represents the results of the first round, and the right hand represents the results of the second round." Mulloy looked at Luigi and Gulemo: "Which round do you plan to watch first? "

Gulemo said: "Let Luigi decide, he is the challenger."

Muloy looked at Luigi, and Luigi didn't shirk. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to Mulloy's right hand: "Let's take a look at the results of the second round first."

 The reason why we choose the second round results first.

 The main reason is that there is a mutual evaluation link in the second round. Luigi wanted to see what Gulemo's general evaluation of his performance of "Hymn to the Galaxy" was.

Muloy glanced at Gulemo.

 Gulemo nodded noncommittally: "Listen to him, let's start the second round first."

 Both duelists decided to start the second round first, and Mulloy naturally followed their wishes. Raise your right hand in front of your chest and spread your hand.

 There are three pieces of paper in his hand, representing the two duels and the evaluation given by the witness.

Muloy took out a piece of paper and opened it slowly.

After taking a look at the content on the note, Mulloy smiled slightly: "This note records Luigi's evaluation of "The Lady Selling Camellia"."

 Gulemo glanced at Luigi, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he motioned to Mulloy: "Read it, I also want to know what Luigi thinks of my music."

Muloy smiled and read Luigi's comments word for word.

“Without the experience of bitter cold, one cannot express the humbleness of the people at the bottom. This is a calm piece of music, but the power it contains is more majestic than deafening music.”

 “The above is Luigi’s evaluation.”

Although there are not many words of praise, a lot of music does not need praise. As long as you understand the meaning of the music, that is the greatest respect for the music performer.

There is no doubt that Luigi not only understood the music, he also gave it a very high evaluation.

"As for the score." Mulloy looked at the bottom of the note: "Luigi gave "The Lady of the Camellias" a five-point score."

  The scores for the Star Climbing Showdown are all on a 5-point scale.

Luigi gave Gulemo a perfect score of 5, which means he gave it a perfect score.

After Gulemo heard that he had received perfect scores, he just looked at Luigi deeply and was not prepared to say anything.

It was Mulloy who took the initiative to point out Gulemo: "Do you have anything to say about this evaluation and the score?"

Luigi also pricked up his ears and looked at Gulemo curiously.

Gulemo was not prepared to speak at first, but since Mulloy asked, he did not refuse and said calmly: "This is what I deserve."

This is not because Gulemo is arrogant, but because he has absolute confidence in his performance.

 You’re totally welcome.

 Luigi raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Mulloy obviously knew something about Gulemo's character, and said with a smile: "It's good to be confident, but I don't know, how would you rate Luigi?" Gulemo just sneered and remained silent. Word.

Muloy stopped asking and opened the second note. But as soon as he opened it, he slowly closed it again: "This note is my evaluation. Let's reveal it at the end. Let's first see Gulemo's rating for Luigi."

Muloy picked up the last piece of paper in his right hand. There was no doubt that this was Gulemo's review of Luigi's performance of "Galaxy Hymn".

Muloy opened the note and read it out without hesitation: "I like it, especially the excerpts from "The Lady of the Camellia" that he added temporarily, which makes this piece of music quite ingenious."

"However, I still want to remind you. In this duel, you added this excerpt, which is clever; but if you perform this piece of music elsewhere and also add the excerpt from "The Woman Seller", it will be very Violation."

What Gulemo said can actually be understood by everyone present.

 Luigi is very thoughtful in making the topic based on the emotion of the moment. Because everyone present is in the "present moment", they can understand what Luigi means.

  But if it is performed like this in other time and space environments, it will be a big failure.

For example, when a person is alone in a foreign land, looking at the moon can reveal his homesickness; but for a family that is already reunited, looking at the moon can only reveal sweet mooncakes.

 Different time and space environments, and the same bright moon, will also have different expressions.

Since everyone present knows this, why did Gulemo point it out?

 The reason is also very simple.

Gulemo approved of this little ingenuity created by Luigi.

 It doesn’t matter whether the people present recognize it or not. What’s important is that Gulemo recognizes it.

If he doesn’t agree with this ingenuity and simply says that the added excerpt does not match the original song, no one will refute it. Because there is indeed a violation.

As long as Gulemo holds on to this point, Luigi will definitely lose this duel.

 But now that Gulemo has approved Luigi's ingenuity, there is no need to consider the issue of "whether it violates harmony", but rather evaluates the ingenuity as its merits.

From this, it can also be seen that Gulemo is very generous and tolerant in his artistic attitude.

 We will not take advantage of the situation just because of victory or defeat.

 Good is good, bad is bad. This is Gulemo's character, direct and clear.

　　Muloy: "It's not over yet. There are still a few more paragraphs of Gulemo's evaluation of "Hymn to the Galaxy"... I'll continue reading."

 The next few minutes were filled with Mulloy's mumbling voice.

As for the content of the narration, Gulemo analyzed "Hymn of the Galaxy" from various dimensions, praising it and pointing out its shortcomings.

 Even some of Luigi’s technical deficiencies were pointed out.

This is no longer a mutual evaluation, but more like a guidance.

 And it’s that kind of selfless guidance.

 Luigi did not feel offended by the criticism after listening to it. Because the shortcomings pointed out by Gulemo are indeed his problems.

 And there are many problems that Luigi himself did not discover. If Gulemo had not pointed them out, he would probably make the same mistakes in the future.

  It can be said that Gulemo’s comments really benefited Luigi a lot.

  After all, Luigi usually lives in the day mirror realm, and has too few exposure to such world-level great artists.

After Mulloy finished reading Gulemo's comments, Luigi took a deep breath, stroked his chest and bowed to Gulemo to express his gratitude.

 Gulemo just nodded lightly, accepting Luigi's thanks.

 Finally it’s time for the final scoring.

　　"Gulemo's rating for "Hymn to the Galaxy"..." Mulloy looked at the bottom number and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's a bit interesting."

interesting? Not only Luigi, but also Angel and others outside the copy were full of curiosity.

　　Some don’t understand why Mulloy said this.

 Could it be that Gulemo scored a low score?

Amid everyone's curious and expectant gazes, Mulloy whispered a number: "5 points, Gulemo's score for "Hymn to the Galaxy" is also 5 points!"

  In other words, Gulemo and Luigi gave each other the highest score in their mutual evaluations without any discussion.

Luigi looked at Gulemo in surprise.

　　Previously, when Gulemo pointed out the shortcomings of his performance in the evaluation, Luigi had already accepted that Gulemo might not give himself a high score.

But unexpectedly, Gulemo actually gave full marks? !

This was somewhat beyond Luigi's expectations.

So the shortcomings that Gulemo pointed out in his review just now are really just guidance instead of deliberately trying to score points?

Muloy looked at Luigi: "Are you surprised?"

  Luigi: "...It's a bit, because my interpretation is indeed as Mr. Gulemo said, there are big shortcomings. I thought..."

 Luigi did not say anything further, but everyone understood what he meant.

Muloy turned to look at Gulemo: "Can you tell me why you gave this score?"

Gulemo moved his lips and said after a while: "He deserves this."

 It’s still so arrogant, but this time the pronoun is different.

 Muloy: "Is this the only sentence?"

Gulemo thought for a while, then turned to look at Luigi: "I wasn't originally going to give you a 5-point rating, but after I listened to "Hymn of the Galaxy", I decided to give you a 5-point rating. It's not just your performance. Excellent, most importantly, because you did it on your own.”

Gulemo said it cryptically, but Luigi understood what he meant.

 The previous "Thirty-two Quotes of the Wind" and "Shengting Garden" both relied on the skills of Fengzihuayu, which can be regarded as external forces.

Although Luigi personally feels that external forces are also part of his own strength, if we really look into it, it is indeed a bit unfair.

On the other hand, it’s not that Gulemo cannot accept external forces, he just feels that Luigi wants to obtain the “Star of Green” and external forces cannot be the key to his victory.

When Luigi used "Hymn of the Galaxy" to show his strength and ingenuity, Gulemo was pleased.

 He saw art reaching its peak without resorting to external forces.

 Even if there are still some flaws, it doesn’t matter. Nothing can be absolutely perfect, and the same goes for art.

 So, this time Gulemo stayed true to his inner feelings and gave Luigi a perfect score of 5.

 This is a kind of recognition that comes from Gulemo’s heart.

 Luigi was stunned for two seconds and then said softly: "Thank you."

Approval flashed in Gulemo's eyes, and he didn't speak any more, but looked at Mulloy.

He was also curious. As the former conductor of the Imperial Music Orchestra, how would Mulloy evaluate their music?

Facing Gulemo’s curiosity, Mulloy did not immediately come to a conclusion, but looked at the other person present.
