Tonight's concert was not that formal, but it was an eye-opener for Yang Jingxing. From 7 o'clock to nearly 10 o'clock, hundreds of people took turns to perform dozens of performances, with a variety of tricks. Various solos, solos, choruses, trios,

Quartet, small orchestra, strings, wind, percussion, bel canto and various ethnic rap styles.

Yang Jingxing applauded every program, and the two times were the most enthusiastic. One was for Zhang Chujia and his quintet, and the other was for the ten-girl group that took the stage at the finale, including guzheng, pipa, erhu, dulcimer, huqin, flute, and electronic keyboard.

Electric guitar, jazz drums, and a hodgepodge played the theme music of "Contra" and "Legend of Moon Shadow", but the effect was very good.

During the announcement, he said that this group was called "306" and received thunderous applause from the audience. It seems that this group of girls is popular in the music conservatory.

After the performance, the unprecedented cheers and applause showed that the students from the Conservatory of Music and Yang Jingxing still have something in common.

When 306 came on stage, Zhang Chujia was already sitting next to Yang Jingxing. Seeing Yang Jingxing's excitement, she told him about 306's background.

The reason why it is called 306 is because the place where this group of girls usually rehearse is in classroom 306 in the North Building. 306 is not a formal group recognized by the school, it is just a play group formed by the students themselves. The main initiator is

The talented girl in the composition department, that is, the girl who plays the electronic keyboard on stage, is just a sophomore. The classics played by 306 were mainly composed by her.

The first time 306 made a splash was half a year ago. At that time, they were just six people. A folk music version of "Contra" made them instantly famous in the music conservatory.

Of course, those teachers who teach polyphonic fugue would not encourage this practice, or even look down upon it, but 306 is still very popular with the people, and the few times they have appeared have been sensational. It is a pity that they did not have the chance.

They went to formal concerts held in schools and became an underground music group in the college.

Zhang Chujia commented: "I think they have a good mentality." After entering Puhai Conservatory of Music, they still have the thought to adapt and perform game music, indeed.

Yang Jingxing hehe: "I really want to ask them for autographs."

Zhang Chujia's eyes were filled with contempt.

It was already eleven o'clock when Yang Jingxing returned to school. He went to the piano room and tried to play "Contra" on the piano. He spent most of the night trying and wiping it out. He finally came up with a crude score, but the overall feeling was pulpy and as thin as a mobile phone.

The ring tone was a million miles away from the 306, so I put it down and concentrated on practicing the piano.

On the 19th, a new week begins. The temperature started to drop last night, and today it is only about 20 degrees. Autumn is here. Some girls put on spring and autumn jackets and even pants.

Shang Pu has four or five sets of spring and autumn clothes, including small suits in gray, dark blue, black, and a sports suit. The most popular among boys is the black stand-up collar formal suit, but girls don't have sailor suits.

Tao Meng is still wearing a long skirt today, but she wears a white shirt with a blue jacket and a blue and white tie. Yang Jingxing is still wearing a shirt, but some boys have already put on suits or stand-up collars.

Only halfway through the class, Yang Jingxing had already looked at Tao Meng several times, which was unusual. Tao Meng finally looked back at Yang Jingxing with an unhappy look on his face.

Yang Jingxing was thick-skinned and asked: "Have you seen "Slam Dunk"?"

"I've seen it... don't say this in class." The monitor lectured.

Yang Jingxing was not interested and continued to ask: "Do you like the songs in it?"

"Which song do you like...?" Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing was still embarrassed to sing, so he quickly drew two lines of music notation on the draft paper and wrote down two unformed musical phrases for Tao Meng to see.

Tao Meng watched for a while, then sang softly with her pink lips, and then said: "This is "Until the End of the World", what is it about?" She knew it better than Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing sighed: "I started playing basketball only after watching "Slam Dunk"."

Tao Meng stopped chatting with Yang Jingxing and went to study seriously.

After the exercise, Yang Jingxing ran to Hu Yiqing and asked him to help download the theme song of "Slam Dunk" online. Hu Yiqing was surprised to find that there seemed to be no generation gap with Yang Jingxing. She had also watched the anime, so she agreed and promised

Complete the task successfully.

At noon, Yang Jingxing got back the mp3 from Hu Yiqing and ran to the piano room. He didn't know that he wanted to make a piano version of "Slam Dunk" by himself.

After two hours, Yang Jingxing's result is still a single-chord cell phone ringtone. The melody is probably right, but it sounds very bad. "Until the End of the World" is a very rock song. If it is necessary to change the piano music, Yang Jingxing is really reluctant to change it.

It's not that piece of material.

But Yang Jingxing was not afraid of being embarrassed in front of Hu Yiqing and told her his results in the evening. Hu Yiqing was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad."

Yang Jingxing was self-aware again: "But he is so weak and childish."

Hu Yiqing smiled: "There are no chords. You can use your right hand to melody and left hand chords, but you must not be able to match the chords right now. The arrangement is not simple... It's already pretty good, really."

Yang Jingxing nodded humbly and said: "I practiced "Canon", what do you think?" This was a task assigned by Liu Miao and Xia Xue, and he was very dedicated.

After listening to Yang Jingxing's playing, Hu Yiqing praised him again, saying that he would definitely be very good if he practiced for two more days, and then said: "This piece is by Pachelbel, the most famous one, and I also like Bach's piece."

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "How many versions are there?"

Hu Yiqing smiled, and gave Yang Jingxing an impromptu music theory lesson using the Canon as a starting point, starting from the Canon to fugue, polyphony, variations, and then to Baroque, musical structure, counterpoint, and more.

From Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Beethoven's sonatas, and Tchaikovsky's "Pathétique"... Hu Yiqing also played many examples for Yang Jingxing to listen to.

Yang Jingxing listened very carefully and sighed sincerely: "Teacher Hu, I really admire you."

Hu Yiqing was embarrassed: "You will have to learn it in the future... Oh, it's almost nine o'clock, let's go to class."

Then start exam-oriented education.

Hu Yiqing left at half past ten, and Yang Jingxing continued to practice until two o'clock. Then he couldn't help but be impulsive and started listening to "Slam Dunk" while trying it on the piano. As Hu Yiqing said, if you want to be good at the piano

In order to reflect the flavor of the original work to the greatest extent, in addition to the melody and rhythm, more work must be done on the chords.

But Yang Jingxing only learned about chords a few days ago. When it comes to matching melody with chords, he has not yet learned how to do it. As for internal and external tones, chord progressions, and the characteristics of rock chords, he still doesn’t understand. And how to do it on the piano?

To embody the rock style, there is no way to do it.

So if Yang Jingxing wants to make a successful adaptation now, it is just a dream. But fortunately, he has this idea and is willing to try hard. Sometimes it is better to do it badly than not to do it well. If you don't do it, you will probably never do it well.

Yang Jingxing worked hard until four o'clock and composed a few sections, which were extremely ugly. He went back to the dormitory depressed and slept for three hours before getting up to go to class.

After recess, Zhou Fanli, a girl with big eyes, waited for Yang Jingxing next to the entrance of the teaching building. Her eyes were very powerful. After looking at Yang Jingxing with an unhappy look of complaint and grievance, Zhou Fanli walked to the side again.

After taking a few steps to avoid being watched, she turned back and continued to use her eyes to guide Yang Jingxing to follow her.

"What a coincidence." Yang Jingxing smiled.

Zhou Fanli didn't smile, looked at Yang Jingxing, her eyelashes trembled, and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you come to me...don't you want to be friends with me?"

Yang Jingxing was a little disappointed and surprised: "Aren't we friends a long time ago?"

Zhou Fanli asked: "Didn't Tao Meng tell you that I went to find you?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I told you, and you said you took something."

Zhou Fanli glanced at her eyes: "She's so pretentious."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I'll tell her."

Zhou Fanli stared: "What! Then when will you come to me?"

Yang Jing’s behavior was difficult: “I really don’t have time recently.”

"Why don't you come and pick me up for lunch after class!" Zhou Fanli said, hating Yang Jingxing's inability to do so, "I haven't given you anything yet?"

Yang Jingxing hesitated for a moment: "First of all, do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhou Fanli smiled slightly: "No... love is not allowed in school."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "If you have a boyfriend, I won't dare to pick you up for lunch... The school is not afraid of anything. You can find someone from another school. My girlfriend is from another school." He boasted without blushing.

Zhou Fanli stared at Yang Jingxing, her big eyes a little angry, and wanted to confirm: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Yang Jingxing said proudly: "Keep it a secret, don't let the teacher know."

Zhou Fanli's lips trembled twice, and she could only hold back a small word: "Get out!" She turned around and left.

Yang Jingxing was still wondering: "Hey, what's wrong?"

When Yang Jingxing returned to the classroom, Tan Dong immediately came to ask for information: "Hey, hey, 18 rules!" Article 18 of the Puhai School Rules states that no romantic relationship is allowed between school students.

Yang Jingxing was depressed: "There are still eighteen items, and she told me to get out."

Ren Chuyu, who was following Tan Dong, was happy: "No way? What's wrong?"

Yang Jingxing looked disappointed: "I won't mention it anymore."

When the school bell rang and the teacher didn't come, Tao Meng gave Yang Jingxing advice: "You'd better tell her not to come to the classroom to look for you in the future. Teacher Jiang already knows what happened last time."

Yang Jingxing said: "I really came up here."

Tao Meng squinted at Yang Jingxing: "Isn't this why you practice piano?"

Yang Jingxing protested: "Aren't you insulting my dream?"

Tao Meng didn't care and packed up the books and papers.

Halfway through a class, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing to discuss the topic. After solving the problem, he softened his words and said, "I take back what I said before."

"What words?"

"Forget it if you don't remember... Can you speak seriously, especially to me?" Tao Meng's tone was almost a discussion.

Yang Jingxing nodded seriously: "Okay, student Tao Meng, I want to learn from you."

Tao Meng probably felt that this was not a serious statement, so she didn't waste her time.

After class at noon, Yang Jingxing did not dare to go to the girl with big eyes. After a quick lunch, he went back to the piano room. He adopted the stupidest method to match the chords for his Slam Dunk piano version, which was to try them one by one. With him

With a genius-like speed, it is estimated that it will take a few years to see the results.

At the end of the afternoon English class, Yang Jingxing was called outside the classroom by Teacher Jiang. All the students knew that he must be interrogated because he was suspected of violating Article 18.

In fact, Teacher Jiang did not mean to criticize Yang Jingxing, but just asked: "A classmate came to me to complain, saying that you are in love with a girl from another school. What happened?"

Yang Jingxing was very embarrassed: "Ah, I'm just bragging."

Teacher Jiang seemed to understand, nodded and said: "I heard that you still practice until late every day. You should take more rest and don't put too much pressure on yourself. There will be a joint entrance examination at the end of November. I hope you can take it easy. You

Very smart, as long as you persist in working hard, you will gain something."

Hey, these words are nothing but praise compared to the previous ones. Yang Jingxing thanked Teacher Jiang.

That night, Yang Jingxing asked Hu Yiqing to give him a composition and arrangement class. Hu Yiqing agreed, because she had actually begun to prepare for this. She had also learned some theoretical knowledge about composition and arrangement before, although not much

Practical application, but some conceptual things can still be explained clearly to Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing had this intention, that is, he wanted to learn concepts and theories. So, in the three hours that night, he initially understood what motivation was, the so-called inspiration, arrangement, orchestration, and what chord progression was.

Hu Yiqing encouraged Yang Jingxing: "So you are very talented, so it is no problem to write down the score." This is true, as long as there are no very complicated modulations, Yang Jingxing can write down the score of an ordinary piece of music after listening to it once or twice.

Listening is a talent, but writing still needs theoretical support. Yang Jingxing also roughly understood that music creation is not a product of inspiration and speculation as he had imagined before. Talent is of course needed, but hard work on internal skills is even more essential.

Starting from that night, Yang Jingxing's perspective on listening to any music was different. As a person who aspires to engage in music creation, and as a person who does not want to be a music speculator, he must carefully analyze the melody and harmony of each musical work.

Chords, rhythm, layers, structure.

Yang Jingxing really admired Hu Yiqing more and more, and asked: "You have also written songs, right?"

Hu Yiqing's embarrassed smile showed that she had experience, but she said: "When I was studying, I had homework... Just like your composition, I forgot everything I wrote."

Perhaps the broadening of his horizons and his longing for a better future suddenly gave Yang Jingxing inspiration. After Hu Yiqing left, his left hand suddenly became active on the keys, and he actually started improvising. A group of fast chords and arpeggios made him feel good about himself.

I also quickly recorded it.

Yang Jingxing enjoyed this feeling of self-development and learning, so he wasted most of the night on "Slam Dunk". However, when arranging chords, he also gained a new understanding of chord playing.

At about two o'clock in the morning, it started to rain. The autumn rain was continuous. Yang Jingxing stood on the balcony, opened the window, and blew the night breeze for a long time. This behavior attracted people from the management office and brought him an umbrella.

, afraid that he would get caught in the rain and go back to the dormitory. The person who delivered the umbrella also made a joke to Yang Jingxing, saying that he was his audience.

There is physical education class on Wednesday afternoon, but the rain has not stopped, so we can only have free activities indoors. Table tennis, badminton, volleyball, skipping, etc.

In the first semester of the second year of high school, Yang Jingxing's class practiced a rope skipping program for the sports meeting. More than a dozen girls in the class came on to dance some small tricks. You can imagine that the thick hemp rope was very long and weighed more than ten kilograms, so Yang Jingxing and

Shao Lei and the two acted as rope throwers.

There will be a sports meeting after the National Day, and there is no need to arrange performances for senior high school students. However, the physical education teacher missed his first-prize-winning program and found the long rope again, hoping that the students would recall the original passion.

Kill time.

Of course, it was still Yang Jingxing and Shao Lei who swung the rope. The girls were divided into two groups, led by Tao Meng and Jiang Qing. After the girls stood up, the rope also swung up. Ren Chuyu, who was following Jiang Qing, suddenly remembered

He said, "We must be on the wrong side. Our team was facing Yang Jingxing."

Yes, Tao Meng looked at it and prepared to switch sides. But the PE teacher found it troublesome: "It's not the same on either side, that's it."

So it started, the physical education teacher blew his whistle, and Tao Meng and Jiang Qing jumped into the rope loop that was not spinning very fast. They were back to back, jumping lightly.

Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Meng's concentrated expression and her ponytail, which was only tied up in physical education class, swaying behind her head. She didn't know what was going on, so she suddenly laughed, and the corners of her already big mouth stretched out.

high.

Laughter is really contagious, and Tao Meng also laughed, but because she had to keep the bouncing rhythm, and her sports performance was not very satisfactory, her laughter was a bit nervous, a bit laborious, and quite serious.

Yang Jingxing smiled even brighter.

Tao Meng may have felt that she was being laughed at, so she forgot the content of the program and did not turn around when it was time to turn around. Jiang Qing did not forget it either.

Ren Chuyu complained: "I just said no."

Tao Meng was annoyed: "Does this have anything to do with it?"

Cao Linglan said: "Tao Meng is a little uncomfortable, forget it."

Tao Meng didn't appreciate it: "It doesn't matter, come again."

This time she started facing Yang Jingxing, and she made no mistakes.

Later, there was a section of fast rope that ordinary girls couldn't jump, so an expert was left to perform. Yang Jingxing worked very hard and made the rope loop spin so fast that Shao Lei could hardly hold it anymore by looking at his expression.

The girl who was skipping the rope didn't hold on, she didn't step back even though her physical strength was running low, and she didn't jump up immediately. She was hit hard by the thick hemp rope on the lower part of her calf. It looked very painful, so she squatted down.

Yang Jingxing hurried over to show concern: "Are you okay? Let me take a look."

The girl shook her head and smiled.

Tao Meng finally caught the opportunity and scolded Yang Jingxing: "What are you playing at? Be careful, okay?"

Yang Jingxing felt aggrieved and put the blame on Shao Lei: "It's obviously you who didn't keep up."

Shao Lei panted angrily: "Get out of here."
