Chapter 41 Fighting
"Director Li, is that student a student of your dance department?"
Dean Yu Kang looked at Luo, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. This person was the director of the dance department of the Imperial Conservatory of Music.
Director Li glanced at Lin Yi, then shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? Otherwise, I would definitely have an impression of such an outstanding child! However, it would be a pity that a child with such a good foundation does not come to our dance department!"
Hearing Director Li's words, Yu Kang frowned slightly. He is not a student of the dance department, but his dance skills are so good! This is unscientific!
"That... Dean Yu, Director Li, that kid is a student of our music major!"
At this moment, a professor spoke,
"Oh? Since Professor An is so impressed by this student, this student must be very good, right? This is a good seedling and should be carefully cultivated!"
Yu Kang had a smile on his face,
Professor An's expression froze, and he smiled bitterly and said: "The truth is exactly the opposite. This child's grades in his major have always been at the bottom. I know him because the girl named Chen Wan he chased before is the daughter of our Professor Aimee!"
"Countdown?" Yu Kang was stunned, a little surprised, including Harmon and others.
Harmon did not expect that a person with such a good foundation in dance was not a dance major, but a music major, and he was the last in his major.
On the other side,
Yan Yu and Lin Yi held wine glasses and chatted and laughed with Rong Hong and others. Some students from Curtis College also came up with wine glasses to talk with Yan Yu and Lin Yi.
After all, they had also heard Harmon's evaluation of Lin Yi just now. The person who could be called everyone by their Professor Harmon must be very outstanding.
Only Chen Wan, for some reason, Professor Harmon's words of praise for Lin Yi sounded so harsh to her, as if he was mocking her for losing such an outstanding person.
She and Lin Yi have been together day and night for more than ten years, but she has never discovered that Lin Yi is so outstanding.
When she discovered that Lin Yi was outstanding, she had already lost Lin Yi. Lin Yi no longer belonged to her.
Knowles, who was opposite him, saw Chen Wan's eyes fixed on Lin Yi. When he heard Professor Harmon praising a Daxia native like this, his heart was filled with deep jealousy.
They are students from the Curtis Institute. This time, the Imperial Conservatory of Music begged their grandfather and grandma to invite them to the Imperial Conservatory of Music many times. Which one of them is not the best among them?
But now all the limelight at the scene was stolen by Lin Yi. The two most beautiful women in the audience kept their eyes on Lin Yi, and Knowles's eyes were so jealous that his eyes turned red.
He stood up, then walked step by step to the center of the dance floor, then looked at everyone, gently raised his hand and pressed it softly. The voices in the scene slowly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Knowles.
"Hello, classmates and teachers, let me introduce myself. My name is Knowles. I come from the romantic country of France. I am a student of the piano department of the Curtis Institute of Music. I am very happy to be able to come to the Royal Conservatory of Music under the leadership of the respected Professor Harmon.
conduct academic exchanges,
However, academic exchanges are all about communication. Although today is not a formal exchange meeting, but just a welcome dance, I feel that academic exchanges are everywhere.
Next, I will play a piano piece for you, and I hope you will comment on it. At the same time, I also hope that after I finish playing, students from your school can also play a piece, so that I can get to know the students of your school.
Musical attainments!!”
Knowles was wearing a black suit and was talking eloquently. When his words fell, many people applauded.
Only a few people frowned slightly. They knew that Knowles was challenging the Imperial Conservatory of Music. Knowles represented the Curtis Institute of Music and challenged the entire Imperial Conservatory of Music.
Moreover, the Imperial Conservatory of Music did not have time to prepare, and Knowles was able to serve as a representative of the piano department and become one of the representatives of the academic exchange group, traveling with Professor Harmon to various parts of the world for academic exchanges. His piano attainments should be extremely excellent.
of.
"Knowles, you are trying to catch us off guard!"
Beside Lin Yi, Rong Hong frowned slightly.
On the other side, Professor Harmon heard Knowles' words and his face was full of smiles. He turned to look at Yu Kang and others: with a proud smile on his face: "This Knowles is one of the top three students in our piano department.
He has considerable attainments. He started learning to play the piano at the age of five, and won his first piano competition championship at the age of six.
Before going to college, he had won multiple domestic piano competition championships. At the age of 17, he won the championship in Group A of the 4th International Youth Piano Competition in Ettlingen, Germany. At the age of 18, he was sent by the government to participate in the second
Won the gold medal at the Tchaikovsky International Competition for Young Musicians"
Hearing Professor Harmon's voice, Yu Kang and others were a little shocked. They had already thought that Knowles should be very good, but they did not expect that Knowles was so good at such a young age and had received more honors and championships than many of their professors.
too much.
The students below also heard Professor Harmon's words, and many female students from Imperial College looked at Knowles with lights shining in their eyes.
Knowles also heard Professor Longhamon's words. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he sat in front of a piano in the hall.
After trying a few notes, he suddenly sat upright, and then his hands began to beat on the keys, and beautiful music flowed out like flowing water.
Yu Kang and other professors' eyes widened just after hearing the first few notes. They are also engaged in music art. When they heard the beginning, they knew that Knowles was indeed worthy of his name.
In the hall, everyone listened quietly to Knowles playing piano music. Knowles' hands kept beating. He didn't even need to look at the piano keys. His eyes fell on the keys like running water. Everyone's faces were full of appreciation.
Yu Kang quietly took a few steps back, looked at a piano teacher next to him, and whispered in her ear: "Quickly, let the top students from the piano department come to the rescue!"
The teacher nodded quickly and walked away.
Soon, the teacher hurried over with a few students, and just in time, Knowles was almost at the end, but after just listening to Knowles' ending, their faces changed slightly, and they were full of worry and timidity.
"Teacher, we. We are no match for Knowles!"
"Yes, teacher, you can tell from just one ending that Knowles' piano skills are no worse than those of some professors. Letting him communicate with us is simply a dimensionality reduction blow!"
"."
Several students in the top piano majors looked embarrassed and unwilling. After all, this represented a competition between the Curtis Institute of Music and their Imperial Conservatory of Music.
Now that they are on the stage, they not only lose their own face, but also lose the face of the entire Imperial Conservatory of Music.
Hearing the words of several students, the teacher of the piano department suddenly turned gloomy. He also knew that it would be embarrassing for the students in his department to go up, but if they didn't go, wouldn't the Imperial Conservatory of Music not even have anyone to challenge him?
And at this moment, the sound of the piano stopped.
A burst of deafening applause sounded.
Knowles stood up and bent down like a gentleman. When he stood up again, he looked in the direction of Luo Yukang, Harmon and others.
Yu Kang turned to look at the teacher of the piano department, who had a very bitter look on his face. He turned to look at several students in the top grades of his major.
Everyone's eyes also turned around.
"No matter what, our college always needs people to fight! No matter what the result is, you guys go up and take the lead? Otherwise, our college will be embarrassed now!" The teacher of the piano department said in a low voice,
However, a few students who had been given high hopes lowered their heads and turned red in the face. No one fought against them. Of course Imperial College would be embarrassed, but if they went up to fight, not only would they be embarrassed, but their future prospects in the future might also be lost!
It's better to have no one fight and embarrass Imperial College than to have them fight and embarrass Imperial College, right?
They won’t go anyway!
Seeing this scene, the teacher of the piano department looked very ugly. He turned around and glanced at Yu Kang helplessly. Yu Kang's face instantly sank, which was rarely ugly.
Be timid before fighting!
Coward!! Of course he knew that the top students in the piano department were definitely no match for Knowles. In fact, he never thought about letting these students beat Knowles.
After all, the Imperial Conservatory of Music is already far behind Curtis. It is understandable that the students of the Imperial Conservatory of Music are not as good as Knowles. All they have to do is show the usual standard and style of the Imperial Conservatory of Music. After all, this time
The name of the event is Academic Exchange, which focuses on communication.
Not as good as Curtis English Academy in a timely manner and no one said anything.
But he didn't expect that no one in such a large piano department would dare to compete.
The faces of all the students from the Imperial Conservatory of Music were also very ugly.
Seeing this scene, Professor Harmon frowned slightly and felt very disappointed.
But Knowles and the other Curtis College students were filled with contempt and ridicule.
Knowles smiled arrogantly: "Why is it that the Imperial Conservatory of Music is known as the best conservatory in China? Is it possible that there isn't anyone who dares to challenge it?
In other words, the level of a student like me, Knowles, is already considered to be the highest level of the Imperial Conservatory of Music. If this is really the case, then it is understandable that no one can challenge me.
But I don’t think the next academic exchange is necessary. After all, if the level of academic exchange is too different, the exchange will be meaningless!”
After Knowles finished speaking, the students from Curtis College looked arrogant and raised their necks to look at the students from Imperial Conservatory of Music with disdain.
All the students from the Imperial Conservatory of Music were blushing with embarrassment, and their eyes were full of shame and anger.
"Damn, are you too damn arrogant? One student dares to mock our entire academy?"
"It's all because these losers in the piano department are so useless. No one dares to challenge me. If I hadn't learned piano before, I would have done it!!"
"They were all intimidated by Knowles' piano skills. What a bunch of cowards!"
"Damn it, is it possible that our huge music conservatory is going to be trampled under the feet of Knowles alone?"
"."
Most of the students, both men and women, were filled with indignation, but no one dared to stand on stage.
A small number of girls curled their lips and said: "Okay! Is it difficult to admit that someone is excellent? Knowles's piano skills are at least on the same level as some of the professors in our college. It is impossible to say that he alone can overpower our college.
Not an exaggeration!”
"Knowles is so handsome! I really want to marry him and have a baby!"
"I've already predicted the outcome of this exchange before it even started. That's how we Daxia people are, mud can't hold up a wall!"
"Although I am from Daxia, I have to admit that the artistic talents of Daxia people are really not as good as those of foreigners!"
"."
Lin Yi held the wine glass and looked at everything in front of him. He also frowned slightly. He never appeared because he didn't want to be in the limelight, but he was also a student of the Conservatory of Music and would never allow his school to be insulted!
That's how he is,
He can be scolding the school, he can be scolding his own school as rubbish, the counselor as a fool, or a certain teacher as a second-rate person.
But he can scold, but others can’t!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi put the wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up slowly,
Lin Yi's actions instantly attracted everyone's attention to him.
Knowles' eyes also moved to Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, what are you doing? This is not the right time to show off! Stop making trouble!"
Seeing Lin Yi's movements, Rong Hong quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's hand.
Lin Yi slowly shook his head: "Believe me!"
Rong Hong looked at Lin Yi's serious face and subconsciously let go. Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists: "Lin Yi, come on!!"
Lin Yi nodded, then walked forward. On the other side, Chen Wan kept her eyes on Lin Yi. When she saw Lin Yi's movements, she subconsciously shouted: "Lin Yi, don't go."
.You are no match for Knowles!"
She knew Lin Yi's level. He had just sat in on a few classes with her, and was barely able to play some simple songs. But who was Knowles? He was someone whom even Professor Harmon highly praised, even the top students in the piano department.
If Lin Yi goes now to someone who even the students dare not fight, wouldn't it be a shame?
Hearing Chen Wan's words, Lin Yi glanced at Chen Wan, frowned slightly, then ignored it and continued towards the center of the dance floor.
When Chen Wan saw this scene, her face was full of anxiety and worry. She couldn't help but ran over quickly, trying to hold Lin Yi.
But Yan Yu grabbed her, and Chen Wan looked at Yan Yu anxiously: "Why don't you persuade Lin Yi? Will you be happy when Lin Yi is embarrassed in front of everyone?"
Yan Yu curled her lips slightly: "Have you done enough to embarrass Lin Yi in front of the whole school?"
"Besides, I believe in Lin Yi!"
After hearing Yan Yu's words, Chen Wan turned pale and froze in place.
Lin Yi continued towards the second area in the center of the dance floor. When passing several students and teachers from the piano department, several students couldn't help but whisper: "Lin Yi, what are you doing here? Even we are no match for Knowles.
, why are you here to embarrass yourself? This is not dancing!"
"Yes, Lin Yi, do you think you are better than us?"
"." Several students majoring in the piano department were unhappy. They chose to be cowardly and not fight Knowles. Now Lin Yi, a person ranked last in other majors, is coming to fight. Isn't that a slap in their face?
The teacher of the piano department also said: "Lin Yi, your performance just now was already very good. Don't be ridiculous. Now that things have reached this point, the college has lost its face. Don't bring your reputation with it!"
"
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the teacher of the piano department with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, teacher, for your concern, but someone from our college must stand up, right? Otherwise, our college will still be able to stand out in front of the Curtis Institute of Music from now on.
Keep your head up?
Teacher, believe me I will never do anything I am not sure about!"
Except for the matter of licking Chen Wan.
With almost everyone watching, Lin Yi walked up to Professor Harmon, Yu Kang and others, and bowed slightly: "Dean Yu, Professor Harmon, and all the teachers, can I replace the Imperial Conservatory of Music and Noel
Do you want to communicate with classmates?"
Harmon did not speak, but turned to look at Yu Kang,
Yu Kang looked at Lin Yi deeply and saw the calm smile on Lin Yi's face. His impression of Lin Yi was much better. In any case, Lin Yi dared to stand up and fight, which was better than those cowards in the piano department.
Much stronger.
He took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay! Lin Yi, don't be stressed, just show your usual level!
Everything has me, everything has the academy!!”
Hearing Yu Kangden's words, a bright smile appeared on Lin Yi's face. He understood the meaning of Yu Kangden's words, which was to let Lin Yi fight with peace of mind. No matter what, he would not let Lin Yi take the blame!
Chongqing Kanghe Conservatory of Music will push everything down.
"Thank you, Dean Yu! I will do my best!" Lin Yi felt that, among other things, even if it was just for Dean Yu Kang and the teacher of the piano department, it would be worthwhile for him to go out this time!
Hearing the conversation between Lin Yi and Yu Kang, the piano majors who had just refused to fight were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of regret. If they had known that Yu Kang would take the blame, they would have agreed to fight.
"Lin Yi, the dog-licking king, is really lucky!!"
They looked at Lin Yi's back. At this moment, they wished that Lin Yi would be embarrassed and become the joke of the entire Imperial Conservatory of Music again.
When Knowles saw Lin Yi, the corner of his mouth also raised a slight smile,
Lin Yi actually dared to come out to fight, what an unexpected surprise!
Just now, Chen Wan's eyes have been on Lin Yi, and now he will let Chen Wan know how big the gap between Lin Yi and himself is. Lin Yi is not worthy of Chen Wan's liking at all, and he, Knowles, is the best.
that person!
"Lin Yi, the top students in your college's piano department didn't dare to come out to compete, but you came out, so you should represent the highest level of your college, right?
Then I have to listen carefully!!"
Knowles smiled playfully,
Hearing Knowles' words, everyone including Yu Kang frowned slightly.
Rong Hong even clenched his fists: "Damn it, this idiot is digging a hole for Lin Yi!!"
Yan Yu's cold eyes were placed on Knowles's body, full of cold light.
Others frowned and couldn't help but complain: "The top few guys in the piano major don't dare to fight, so what qualifications does Lin Yi, a guy from the bottom in other majors, have to represent us?"
"Yes! Haven't our college lost enough face? He also goes up and sticks his face in front of others to be slapped!!"
"Now that's good. Our Imperial Conservatory of Music has become famous, and a countdown has actually replaced the highest level of our academy!"
"Everyone prepare to be embarrassed! Alas!!"
Hearing what these people said, people including Rong Hong immediately counterattacked: "What are you talking about? Lin Yi dares to stand up and fight, unlike some talkative people who can only act like a coward!"
"Yes, Lin Yi is already very impressive if he has the courage to stand up and challenge, okay?"
"It's really disgusting for people like you who only encourage other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
"Even Dean Yu agreed to let Lin Yi fight, but you are still doing nothing!"
"."
A group of people from the Imperial Conservatory of Music got into a quarrel below because of Lin Yi's challenge.
At this time, Lin Yi ignored Knowles and sat down in front of the piano.
Seeing this scene, Yu Kang amplified his voice and yelled: "Okay, everyone be quiet!!"
Hearing Yu Kang's voice, the entire dance floor gradually became quiet.
Lin Yi sat in front of the piano, his back suddenly straightened, and he directly entered the state of a piano master.
Yu Kang and the professors around him, who originally had no hope, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Yi's state. Professor Harmon also widened his eyes slightly.
Knowles on the side could most clearly feel the change in Lin Yi's state. His face darkened slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart!
At this time, Lin Yi had already placed his hands on the keys. The moment he touched the piano, he immediately felt a familiar feeling rushing into his heart, as if his fingers and the piano in front of him were attracting each other, calling each other, and breathing.
The machines are slowly merging.
He pressed it gently, and immediately his ten fingers began to dance on the keys like ten elves.
Jingle bell, jingle bell————
The moment the piano sounded, everyone was stunned. The dean of the Imperial Conservatory of Music and many professors, including Professor Harmon from the Curtis Institute of Music, were stunned, with disbelief on their faces.
Shocked, shocked,
When everyone heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if they had been electrocuted, and their scalps were numb.
Their eyes when they looked at Lin Yi were filled with shock, confusion, disbelief, and finally deep admiration.
At this time, Lin Yi had closed his eyes. The moment he pressed the keys, he had completely integrated into the piano, and his body was slightly rhythmic with the sound of the piano.
As the ten fingers fell, gentle and sweet notes jumped into everyone's ears like a naughty child.
The shock, astonishment, confusion, and shock all disappeared from everyone's faces. They also closed their eyes, listened, and enjoyed this lazy sound.
I don’t know how long it took,
When - the last note sounded, and then it stopped suddenly.
Everyone who was silent in the sound of the piano slowly opened their eyes.
Chapter completed!
