109. An Siyao's Abnormality
In this competition, the pieces to be played by the contestants were not disclosed in advance, so both the audience and the judges had to decide for themselves.
It's also kind of fun.
Normally, the judges can always guess the name of the song within ten seconds of the intro, but this time, the five judges took a bit too much time.
They even discussed in whispers:
"What is this, is there this guzheng piece?"
"It's a bit like the E ending, but isn't the E ending an ensemble?"
The five judges were silent for a while, and continued to think carefully. After another ten seconds, one of the judges took a breath:
"It's the E ending! It's the E ending of Huapai's secret technique!"
"The one that Liu Ronglan played when she was young?" The rest of the judges also realized that because Liu Ronglan was old, no one could play the ending E of the solo version, so they were a little unfamiliar with this piece.
After confirming the tune, the five of them stopped communicating and listened carefully. At the same time, their hearts were not at peace.
Liu Ronglan only played this E ending when she was in college, and the boy in front of her is only a senior in high school!
The wild bee tied the world record, and the guzheng reproduced the E ending. Although the piano was a little watery, it was already at the level of a monster!
They couldn't help but glanced at Liu Ronglan who was under the stage. Liu Ronglan was full of complacency and winked at them.
This old woman actually hid such a genius disciple!
At this time, Xia Yu had already played for thirty seconds, and the speed of his hands was getting faster and faster. Human eyes could no longer keep up with the speed of his fingers.
What the fast playing brings is the passionate music, dense and dense, like a summer rainstorm, beating on everyone's side, making the heart beat faster and the nerves flutter.
The torrential rain was still raging, and at one minute, Xia Yu's playing speed reached its peak, and the audience felt that the cup was falling and the flood was raging down from the sky.
The five judges were also very excited. Three of them stared at Xia Yu's main hand, and wondered in their hearts:
"Chronograph, backsliding, vibrato, and this shaking finger!"
"This is, playing with the left hand!"
In Guzheng, the left hand is generally used as an assistant, and the right hand is the main player. Although everyone says that the left hand should be as dexterous as the right hand, in fact, the left hand is not as good as the right hand.
At this moment, at such a speed, Xia Yu was able to use his left hand to pop out the same effect!
The other two judges focused their eyes on Xia Yu's assistant.
Generally speaking, the right hand is used to pluck the strings, while the left hand is used to press and knead. Although it seems that the right hand used to pluck the strings is the main body, in fact, the left hand is the soul of the guzheng!
When playing the zither with the right hand, you can see clearly when you press the finger on the string; while the depth of the string with the left hand, the mastery of vibrato, the control of retraction and release, etc., can only rely on ears and feelings.
The same score, the same track, the reason why different tastes can be played, its subtlety is fully displayed on the slide of the left hand.
The charm of a piece of music comes from the left hand.
The two of them stared at Xia Yu's left hand, looked at the smooth and flowing tap and shake, and looked at the busy but slow fingers because of their calmness, they were amazed.
Towards the middle end, the speed slowed down a little, but at the end, it finished with a very fast speed and a passionate tone.
The rainstorm of sound came to an abrupt end.
But the listeners still feel the rain echoing in their ears.
After eight or nine seconds, the applause sounded like thunder.
"No one can be faster than you." The judges sighed.
"Young people are terrifying."
"Liu Ronglan has a good heir."
They didn't comment on Xia Yu's skills. The emotion contained in the E ending was passionate. They had already exhausted their enthusiasm in the process of listening to the music, and they just felt dull at this moment.
And barely cheered up,
After a few words of encouragement, the five judges let Xia Yu step down.
Not just them, the audience at the scene, including the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, no matter what they were doing, no matter how excited they were before, they all put down what they were doing and fell into depression.
In front of the TV, Feng Ma from the No. 2 Middle School sighed. During the first match, he underestimated Xia Yu because Xia Yu came from the No. 1 Middle School. Although Xia Yu was placed in the right position later on, he still had the feeling in his heart that being fat doesn't count. Fat, Hou Fat overwhelmed Kang's thoughts, intending to chase after him and fight for Zilang's first person position.
But at this moment, after listening to the song ending in E, the fighting spirit in his heart has completely disappeared.
How could he catch up with such a monster?
Yan Wei, who secretly watched the TV on her mobile phone in class, lay powerlessly on the table.
Such an excellent young man, how many rivals in love must he provoke!
At the venue, Liu Ronglan and Kong Hanyue held each other's hands, full of relief. Liu Ronglan was relieved that the Huapai guzheng did not die in her hands. Kong Hanyue was relieved that Xia Yu lived up to his trust, and the Kong family was going to have an extra skill.
It was An Siyao who had more violent mood swings.
Her complexion was a little pale.
She didn't intend to participate in this competition, but came here only because "he" seemed interested in the competition.
Before the competition, she also made inquiries. Among the contestants, there is no one who is more brilliant than her. This is completely her performance venue.
Especially fifteen days ago, after "he" said that he would watch the live broadcast, An Siyao was looking forward to this match very much.
But Xia Yu who appeared suddenly broke her plan.
She knew that this kind of performance was very effective, and the emotional music was at the front. Even if her playing was much better than the other party's, she couldn't draw the audience's attention back. They must be talking about the other party afterwards.
After coughing twice in a low voice, An Siyao became a little worried.
On the one hand, I expect "he" to see my own performance, and on the other hand, I am afraid that "he" will take his eyes off himself and cast them on others.
I was chosen by "he" because of the music, if "he" feels that others are better...
"Yaoyao?" The teacher sitting next to her patted her on the back, "If you're not feeling well, you don't have to participate. This competition is meaningless. A real pianist never cares about these things."
Shaking her head, An Siyao expressed her firm determination.
Her teacher felt sorry for her again: "You said you didn't sleep and what to do last night. You were fine, but you sat up all night last night, and it got serious again."
"It's okay." An Siyao's words were a little weak, with loss and anxiety in her heart.
Yesterday, already the fifteenth day, she thought she could wait for "him".
"What's wrong with Yaoyao?" In the front row, Liu Ronglan noticed something was wrong with An Siyao.
"The cold is serious again." An Siyao's teacher replied.
"Then..." In the middle of speaking, Liu Ronglan stopped talking, and she waved to Xia Yu, who was stepping down, and asked him to sit beside her.
Coming to sit next to Liu Ronglan, Xia Yu looked at An Siyao behind him.
Just now when he was behind, he felt that the girl's expression was a little sluggish, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
That pale complexion was not caused by an ordinary cold.
"Yuyu, look up, that's your senior sister." Liu Ronglan said to Xia Yu.
Sister? Is it Liu Ronglan's granddaughter who learned the northern style guzheng?
Looking at the stage, what Xia Yu saw was the girl who played the diva in the amusement park during the third match.
Liu Ronglan was still talking about her granddaughter, but Xia Yu was not in the mood to listen. He was paying attention to An Siyao's situation.
The next player was An Siyao. After Liu's granddaughter finished playing, An Siyao got up and went backstage to prepare.
When she stood up, she staggered a bit.
"Are you okay?" Xia Yu held her hand.
