At 3:20 pm, after all preparations were ready, the 2020 New Year's Eve Performance of Tianhai Conservatory of Music officially began.

First of all, of course, the principal went on stage and made a long speech.

It's September now, and September in the south is still very hot. Although the hottest time has passed at 3:00 pm, there are 27 or 8 degrees outdoors.

Many students showed impatient expressions.

Finally, when the students were sweating profusely, the principal's speech finally ended. He walked off the stage and came to the first row where the school leaders were the only ones.

Although the students do not have any specific seats, the school’s leaders and teachers still have a specially arranged location with the best view and the closest to the stage.

After the principal sat down, Director Chen from the composition department turned over and said to the principal in a low voice: "Principal, this program selection of the new year meeting can reveal several good seedlings."

The principal picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table and took a few sips. The speech was still very slack.

"Oh? Then I have to appreciate it."

"The school has not seen any good seedlings in the past two years, so we should pay more attention."

The principal sighed, a little sad.

Whether art schools like Tianhai Conservatory of Music have great influence or not, whether they can attract students to apply for the exam mainly depends on the publicity of outstanding alumni.

Whether it is classical or popular, as long as you graduate from Tianhai Conservatory of Music and make a name for yourself in China, it will bring a lot of fame to the school and attract more high-quality students to apply. This is a virtuous cycle.

This is what really corresponds to the saying, today I am proud of the school, and in the future I am proud of the school!

However, in recent years, the graduates of Tianhai Conservatory of Music have become a little weak. None of the graduates who have been in succession have achieved excellent results in the domestic classical music and pop music scene.

Whether it is in various youth musical instrument competitions or among the newcomers in the Chinese music scene, the graduates of Tianhai Conservatory of Music cannot be found.

On the contrary, Sichuan Yin, which was originally suppressed by Tianhai Conservatory of Music, has blossomed more than once in recent years. Not only has it cultivated a first prize in a youth piano competition, but several singers have also emerged in the Chinese music scene, and they feel like they are about to overwhelm Tianhai.

This made the president of Tianhai Conservatory of Music a little worried.

Of course, Director Chen knew this in his heart and comforted him: "Principal, don't worry, the piano department of Classical College has appeared in the junior year of the school. He has a very good performance and is a genius pianist."

"The violin department has also produced a boy named Shang Yiping. He is also a junior. His violin performance is also excellent. This year's China Youth Violin Competition has passed the preliminary selection. He will participate in the competition in the second half of the year and is expected to gain fame for our school."

"And our Pop Conservatory has a few good students. Ye Weiyang, a sophomore in the composition department, gathered several excellent modern instrument players in the Pop Conservatory's sophomore and formed a band."

"Not to mention, their band is very well-deserved. The guitarist, keyboardist, and bassist are all the best students in their sophomore year. In addition, Ye Weiyang has a good music creation ability. He wrote a good song and will perform the finale at the welcome party later."

"I believe that as long as this student Ye maintains his enthusiasm for creation, their band will definitely make a name for themselves in the Chinese music scene in the future."

The principal glanced at Director Chen in surprise.

Director Chen has always looked like a strict teacher and is very strict with students. He rarely praises students, especially students in their composition department, which is even more difficult to get his praise. I didn't expect Ye Weiyang to be praised by him so highly, which is very difficult to see.

The principal shook his head and said in a lonely tone: "Hey, I can no longer keep up with the times. I can't understand the popular music now, and I can't figure out the mainstream aesthetics of the public now. However, since you, the director of the composition department, think it's good, it shouldn't be bad."

Director Chen said with a hint and said with a smile: "Principal, Ye's lyricist skills are still very good. Unlike his peers, he writes some painless moaning things. The original song he created this time is a very inspirational song, suitable for students to listen to. I think you should also like it."

"Although it's still pop music and rhythm rock, the content is still very positive and positive."

"Oh?" The principal raised his eyebrows, and was a little curious about Director Chen's repeated recommendations.

"Since that's the case, I'll wait and see. I hope there will be a surprise. The student Ye you mentioned was the finale of today?"

"Yes." Director Chen nodded with a smile.

Next to them, the directors of other departments also showed curious expressions. The conversation between Director Chen and the principal did not deliberately lower their voices, and they all heard it while sitting next to them.

Seeing Director Chen so highly praised a sophomore student, this inevitably made them a little curious and expect Ye Weiyang's performance.

On the stage, two hosts from student union, a man and a woman, are diligently reporting, and one show after another begins to perform.

Schubert's Sturgeon string quintet, piano solo Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, hot street dance performances at the dance academy, classical dance "Swan Dance", music sketch "Catwoman", pop song "To the Distance", violin solo "Carmen Fantasia"...

Performances were being performed one after another, and the three or four thousand students sitting on the playground were gradually attracted by these performances, leaving behind the principal's stinky and long speech, spontaneously applauding the performance on stage.

Some students even boldly shouted to confess to the performers on stage, causing a whole lot of trouble.

The atmosphere at the scene was so warm!

................

Backstage.

As the performance continued, there were fewer and fewer teams waiting for the scene. Gradually, only two groups were left to perform on stage.

One of the groups is naturally the group that will not close tonight.

"Weiyang, I'm a little nervous..." Jing Bo'an covered his chest with both hands, pursed his lips, and leaned over to Ye Weiyang.

Jing Bo'an, who is usually the most lively and active, extroverted and bold, has now become the most nervous, and his whole body is trembling slightly.

Ye Weiyang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This is wherever you go. Isn't it just a campus event? The audience is all students from our school. They look up and see each other. Why are you nervous?"

Yang Xiao sniffed his mouth and signaled Jing Bo'an to look into the corner.

"Your goddess Duan Li is about to perform on stage, and she didn't even see her nervousness. You're so nervous. You have such courage, you can't even compare to a girl?"

Pudding covered her mouth and laughed, and she was laughed.

Jing Bo'an was so excited that he was also angry. He took a few deep breaths, looked at Duan Li with a burning gaze, and muttered in a low voice: "Small scene... I'm not nervous... I'm the one who wants to open the Hung Hom four-sided table..."

"Oh, do you have this ambition?" Yang Xiao said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, look honest, and you dare to think so hard on your back. You can't even dream about it. You have to have a degree in your dreams."

Duan Li, not far away, heard the noise of the two of them, turned her head slightly and looked over, and just happened to bump into Jing Bo'an's eyes staring at her.

Duan Li was stunned for a moment and was about to step over to say something. The sound of the newspaper on the stage just rang out.

"Next, let us warmly welcome Duan Li, a junior in the Piano Performance Department of Classical Academy, to bring you a solo of Liszt's "The Great Fantasy of the Bell"!"

Duan Li had no choice but to stop and walk towards Ye Weiyang and the others, tidied up her clothes, turned around and walked towards the stage.

Wow————

The moment she stepped onto the front desk, a cheer and applause mixed with some howlings of ghosts and wolves came to the playground.

It can be seen that Duan Li is indeed very popular among the students of Tianhai Conservatory of Music, which is enough to be regarded as the popularity that has caused the whole school.

.............

However, I have to admit that it is not unreasonable that Duan Li is so popular among her classmates.

In addition to her very good-looking appearance, her piano playing skills are indeed very superb.

Ye Weiyang couldn't help but exclaim as he listened to her performance in the background.

If Ye Weiyang had been letting him listen to it, he might not be able to hear the good or bad, and he just felt that he was not aware of it.

But when he integrated his extremely professional music appreciation ability in this life, Ye Weiyang could clearly hear how professional Duan Li was.

This song "The Great Fantasy of the Bell" was written by Liszt based on the theme of the third movement of the Piano Concerto in Paganini's B minor.

Lister made a series of variations on this light and cute theme, and his playing skills were dazzling. The meaning of the piano was completely changed. It turned into an orchestra, a small universe that was all-encompassing.

In just 4 minutes of music, there will be continuous shaking, rapid octave changes and staccato rhythms with extremely large intervals.

The most difficult part is to play 4 8 degrees quickly with one hand and imitate the sound of the bell.

Duan Li actually completed it very smoothly, and the strength was controlled very well.

You should know that she is a girl, her hands are smaller than those of a boy, and her octave jump at a distance with her left hand is an insurmountable gap for most female players.

There are also wheel fingers on homophones, long lists of chromatic scales, and one-handed melodious tremolo, all of which are perfectly interpreted by her.

This is not just something that talent can do. Behind this gorgeous performance, I am afraid that she has put in countless days and nights to play this song so perfectly.

Not only Ye Weiyang thought so, but all the teachers and students who were watching Duan Li’s performance on the playground secretly cheered Duan Li’s perfect performance in their hearts.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while those who are in charge see the tricks.

The higher the musical literacy and rich in professional knowledge, the more he is amazed by Duan Li's excellence.

"This little girl named Duan Li is good. I see her level. Even in the National Youth Piano Performance Competition, she is qualified to compete for the championship!" The old principal smiled and kept praising Duan Li at the directors of the Classical Conservatory of Music. This is indeed a good seedling!
Chapter completed!
