Volume 2 - Bright Moon Academy Chapter 244 Exams Before Competitions
"I just fear that if something happens, I can take over it at any time. But I need to rely on myself to grasp my dreams, right?" Shi Shisi encouraged.
"That's right, Teacher Shi is right. As long as we do our best, there will be no regrets." After a period of adjustment, Tong Xiaotong's mentality has become very peaceful now.
"Okay, let's take the exam first!" Situ Yuner said.
"Exam? What exam?" Luqi wondered, "Isn't this a music competition? Why do you still have to take the exam?"
"This is the feature of the 'High School Music Competition'. The first preliminaries is a music theory knowledge test. Only when all the members pass can they be qualified to participate in the next stage of the preliminaries." Situ Yuner explained.
"That Xiaotong, can you do it?" Lu Qi looked at the people from Mingyue Band with some concern.
"Take off 'Do' for me! You poor student make way for us masters!" Tong Xiaotong said as she led the Mingyue Band into the examination room with a proud look.
"What, when did this Xiaotong become a top student? Isn't your usual grades equal to me?" Lu Qixin said unwillingly.
"Luqi, you don't know anything. After the special training of Yoona helps them in the past few weeks, their music theory level is now considered top-notch. After a while, the results will come out and you will know."
"Even so, what should A Xiang and the others do? Can foreigners do Chinese test papers?" Pan Yi suddenly thought of this question.
"Don't worry! You have considered it, and the organizing committee naturally considers it. The exam will distribute test papers in different languages according to the registered nationality. The exams must also be in line with the international level." Situ Yuner explained.
Tong Xiaotong walked into the exam room, and the depressing atmosphere made her a little nervous. However, when she got the test paper, she saw the questions above and felt nervous in an instant.
"These questions are too simple! Compared to what Yoona gave us special training, the difficulty has been much lowered!" Tong Xiaotong was secretly happy.
"Which two characters are the protagonist of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'? What kind of artistic conception is it described in "Yangchun Baixue". All of these Yoona have been reviewed for us!"
Tong Xiaotong became happier and happier as she did it, and in a short while the test paper was completed.
"Teacher, hand in the paper!"
"Teacher, I've finished it too, hand in the paper in advance!"
Just as the other contestants were thinking hard, the five people from Mingyue Academy completed their respective test papers one after another. They left the examination room in the envious eyes of everyone.
However, in sharp contrast to Mingyue Academy, those professional teams representing other high schools to participate in the competition have encountered difficulties this time.
"What is the name of Beethoven's Third Symphony?"
"What are the seventh chords formed on the directing sound of the natural major?
“…”
"What are these and what! How could I know this!" The contestants from the professional team also stared at these music theory topics.
Time passed by minute by minute, and these contestants were sweating profusely, but no matter how hard they thought, they had no idea. There was nothing they could do about it. Back then, they gave up part of their studies in order to enter the entertainment industry. Now it is really a bit difficult for them to answer questions.
Many people can only use dice to answer multiple-choice questions. Most contestants can only choose to give up those essay questions and question-and-answer questions.
The music theory exam before the preliminaries soon ended, and some were really happy and some were sad.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. It's our work mistake. I'm so sorry!" The agents of the professional team were busy calling Zhang Yeqian.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Yeqian on the other end of the phone also had a bad tone. "It's obvious that six or seven teams have been sent. How come there are only two teams in the preliminary round!"
"Mr. Zhang, we don't want to do it either! Who knew that this 'High School Music Competition' would take music theory. How could those bad students know about those questions?"
"Didn't I send it to you before the competition system? How do you agents behave?"
"We thought it was easy to deal with those business teams, so we didn't care. Fortunately, we finally found a way to get 'wonder' and 'Yuanyang Milk Tea' to preliminaries."
"I guess? Did you use the player's immunity?"
"Mr. Zhang, it's really amazing!"
"What is the reason for this? I don't know the level of the two teams' education? It would be great if half of them passed!" Zhang Yeqian said furiously, "You will remember for me in the future that the teams signed must undergo rigorous cultural training. Have you heard of it? I don't want to see such embarrassing things in the future!"
Zhang Yeqian hung up the phone angrily.
At this moment, Mingyue Band was very happy. This time, not only did Tong Xiaotong and the others pass the test, but three of them even got full marks.
In the end, the total score ranked first in the preliminaries, even much higher than Wenxiang Middle School, which ranked second.
"What a pity, I didn't get the full mark." Yayoiba said unhappily.
"Xiao Yu, can't you answer well in Japanese? You have to use Chinese characters in the essay questions, and then your Chinese characters are written in traditional Chinese. Who can understand it?" Mo Yutong smiled.
"There is no way, this is how the Chinese characters we have there."
"Teacher Yuner, I'm sorry, I haven't learned Chinese well, and I don't understand a few questions." Ferdinand said embarrassedly.
"Didn't you ask for the foreign contestants' test paper?" Shi Shisi asked.
"I want it, but the invigilator said that there is no language for me."
"There's no way, you happen to be a small language. So can't you want English?"
"English? English is so fucking hard! Not as good as Chinese!" It was really funny to say this from a black foreigner.
"Oh, isn't this Captain Hao? Why did you get so low in the music theory knowledge test this time?" Tong Xiaotong naturally wanted to ridicule when she saw Hao Jing passing by.
"Hmph, Tong Xiaotong, don't be proud. Music theory knowledge is just a qualification certificate. We will definitely crush you in the official competition!" Hao Jing said and hurriedly left with Wenxiang band.
"By the way, Xiaotong, how did the performance of the several professional teams your mother hired? Why didn't you see them on the big hot list?" Mo Yutong asked curiously.
"Yes! Why don't there?" Shi Shisi pointed to the two teams at the bottom of the list and said, "Isn't this 'wonder' and 'Yuanyang Milk Tea'?"
"Why are they the only ones? What about other professional teams?"
"It seems that if they hadn't been exempted from some of the team members, they wouldn't have even entered." Situ Yuner explained, "How come the cultural literacy of these professional teams has fallen to this point now!"
"Why is the total score only 250 points? The total score is 500 points? I haven't passed the exam yet!" A Xiang laughed.
"Haha, they are so embarrassed this time!" Tong Xiaotong couldn't help but feel joy in her heart.
"Okay, everyone is still calm. We just qualified for the preliminaries, and the next qualifying match is the highlight. Do you understand?" Shi Shisi said.
"Yes!" Mingyue Band is also full of fighting spirit.
"What will be the next competition event?" Pan Yi asked curiously.
"Let me take a look! It seems to be a single event with a comprehensive assessment, and then the team showcased at the end. The top eight with high comprehensive scores participated in the final stage competition. The specific competition system is a bit similar to gymnastics." Situ Yuner replied.
"What are the individual competitions?" Tong Xiaotong asked.
"Including dance, singing skills, folk music, Western instrumental performance and the final band teamwork. The band teamwork requires completing fixed projects and self-selected projects. Three team members are required for each individual event, but only two are given the highest score. The full score is 10 points."
"Is there anyone who can participate in all the projects?" Tong Xiaotong asked.
"It's okay, but in this case, the consumption of participants is too great. It's best to arrange the order of appearance reasonably." Shi Shisi analyzed.
"Okay, please go to the lounge through the preliminaries. Other audience members and cheering groups are invited to the audience seats." A notice from the event organizing committee came from the radio.
"The rest time is about an hour, so let's design a lineup for each individual event!" Shi Shisi suggested.
"No problem, let's go quickly!" Tong Xiaotong nodded.
"Then we won't bother you! See you in the audience later! I'm going to find a good camera seat." Pan Yi and others said, and left the scene one after another.
When he arrived at the lounge, Shi Shisi looked at the schedule and started to arrange troops.
"In terms of dance, I think there should be no problem with the three female generals!"
"No problem. After being guided by Teacher Shuangshuang, we will not be worse than those professional teams." Tong Xiaotong said confidently.
"What about singing?" Ah Xiang asked.
"The strongest singing person is naturally Xiaotong. However, she should not have too many items, I think she can hide it. So it's up to Yutong and A Xiang to play. I believe that she should be able to stabilize in the top eight. The third player, you two men will decide for yourself."
"I'll go!" Ferdinand volunteered.
"Do you have this confidence?" Yayoi asked.
"It doesn't matter if it's a recharge anyway!"
"Then let Ferdinand go!" Shi Shisi nodded, "The next ethnic instruments, Xiaotong's piccolo, and Ferdinand's drums should be fine. But the third person is the candidate!"
"Leave it to me! My guzheng is actually playing well." Yayoi Yu stood up confidently.
"You can still play the guzheng?" A Xiang was a little unbelievable.
"Tsk, our island country is also a close neighbor of China. When I was a child, I received professional training on the guzheng."
"Then let it leave it to you!"
"In terms of Western musical instruments, A Xiang, Yutong, Xiaoyu. I'm leaving it to you!"
"no problem!"
"Then the list of individual events in this preliminaries has been decided, come on!" Shi Shisi encouraged.
"Don't worry, Teacher Shi, we will definitely get high scores." Mingyue Band responded loudly.
At this time, the temporary stage was built in the gymnasium of Wenxiang Middle School, and everyone turned their attention to the individual competition that was about to begin.
"I didn't expect this competition system to be so novel, and I was under a lot of pressure!" One of the lead singers of "wonder", Oberhao, looked at the competition event list, his eyes full of smiles.
"Ahao, don't take it lightly. The music theory exam was defeated just now. The above puts a lot of pressure on us!" said the captain white. "If we can't enter the final this time, our brand will collapse."
"Captain, don't worry! Although we are not good at theoretical knowledge, how can we lose to those amateurs in terms of experience and actual combat?" Oubhao said disdainfully, "Yes! Dear brothers and sisters?"
