Li Xiao walked up to the old gentleman wearing a round hat and asked respectfully:
"Old sir, I would like to borrow your pipa, can you?"
The old gentleman showed worry on his face, but in order not to put more pressure on Li Xiao, he immediately smiled:
"Okay, this is Red Tail, take it and use it, don't feel any pressure, just do your best."
Even though I say I try my best.
But I'm not optimistic about it at all.
As an amateur player who has played musical instruments all his life.
Although one is Han music and the other is Western music.
But by analogy, even if you don't know how to play, it is still very simple to hear whether something is good or bad.
The other party's performance just now completely crushed people like myself.
Although he didn't know how good the kid in front of him was, at most he was just a little better than old men like himself.
The two are simply not comparable.
Originally, if I lost, I would lose, but it was about face, and now it was really embarrassing.
He sighed in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face.
Li Xiao gently took the pipa handed over by the old man and said comfortingly:
"Is it called Red Tail? What a good name. Thank you, old man."
"I have confidence, don't worry."
His fingers gently plucked the strings of the pipa.
He closed his eyes slightly and felt the sound of the five-string pipa.
While watching the shadow puppet show, he felt that there was something wrong with the timbre of the pipa.
Now that I started using it, I immediately noticed something was wrong.
The string is too loose. Put your finger on the peg, twist it slightly, and then pluck the string again.
The pipa master wearing a dome hat was suddenly startled when he heard the completely different timbre of his pipa.
I have been living with this red-tailed pipa for six or seven years. Although this instrument cannot be said to be a peerless instrument.
However, after many years of running in, he thought he had a complete grasp of the piano.
However, this unknown boy in front of him could actually raise the tone of the red-tailed pipa to a higher level with just a slight twist?
However, someone next to him immediately shouted:
"Hey, hey, that boy from the Han Dynasty over there, the game has started, why are you still dawdling?"
"You're not afraid, are you? If you're afraid, just admit defeat and don't lose..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone reaching out.
The person who interrupted him was none other than McIntosh Donna, who had just finished her performance.
The original contempt and disdain on McIntosh Donna's face were completely gone.
Instead, there was a cautious look on his face.
No skills were used, just adjusting the piano axis back and forth.
The timbre of the pipa is completely different.
Anyone who knows music knows that someone who can play the piano is not necessarily good at it.
But those who can tune the piano must be very good.
Because people who can tune the piano have a better grasp of the timbre and intonation than most people who can play the piano.
He is a master.
But she wasn't overly nervous. She knew how to tune the piano.
Especially for this backward and old-fashioned Han Dynasty ancient musical instrument, the difficulty of debugging is quite low.
But he didn't believe that a truly capable person would not choose to become an elegant music anchor, but choose to become a lower-level food anchor.
That proves from the side that this person’s musical level is actually just that.
Li Xiao didn't waste much time on debugging.
Soon he came to the stage holding the pipa, which was called the red tail.
Bowing slightly to the audience and judges, he spoke softly:
"The classical music of the Han Dynasty [Ambush from Flying Daggers], please appreciate it."
Li Xiao sat on the chair in the center of the stage.
The more than 400,000 viewers in the live broadcast were shocked when they heard the song Li Xiao was going to play.
"No way, no way, the anchor is playing a very difficult song that reaches level 10?"
"Is level 10 difficult? I remember correctly, the Western Cowboy just now was also at full level 10."
"The levels of modern music and classical music are different. Generally speaking, classical music is more difficult, and it is automatically raised one level, which means this is an 11th-level piece."
"I remember the host performed last time, but why was the guitar replaced with a pipa this time?"
"House of Flying Daggers is one of the most difficult classical songs to play. The host is too cool!"
"Go, go, go! What western cowboys are, they are all chickens and dogs!"
"The anchor must win!"
"Yes, we can't let these foreigners play tricks in our country of Han!"
······
Professor Huo frowned deeply when he heard the music he was about to perform.
This piece of music is so difficult that not many graduates from the Music Department of Chengdu University can play it well.
Is this guy named Li Xiao really capable or is he trying to impress people just for the live broadcast effect?
If it's the latter, then she will never let him go.
Treating the face of the Han Dynasty as a child's play in front of so many people.
Even if such a person finds a relationship, his account will be blocked.
Li Xiao closed the corners of his eyes and took a deep breath.
After the turbid air in his heart was exhaled, he opened his eyes again, and his eyes immediately became sharp.
Thumb thump thump... thump thump thump...
The sound of the pipa sounded, like the sound of war drums and everyone shouting before going out for battle.
The music gradually becomes faster and faster, and the frequency of plucked strings also increases from slow to fast.
Professor Huo's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the faces of the other associate professors also became very exciting. Some of them seemed to be unable to believe their ears and immediately looked at each other.
House of Flying Daggers is divided into 13 sections in total.
They are:
One, the camp;
Two, blowing;
Three, point general;
Four, formation;
Five, walk in line;
Six, ambush;
Seven, a small battle at Jiming Mountain;
Eight, the Battle of Jiuli Mountain;
Nine, King Xiang was defeated;
Ten, Wujiang committed suicide;
Eleven, all the armies are victorious;
Twelve, the generals compete for merit;
Thirteen, return to camp after victory
These thirteen sections are divided into four parts: origin, succession, transfer, and union.
The most difficult one is the final turn and combination.
The most exciting part is also these two parts.
But what did they hear?
Just the first short section of the formation gave them a feeling of hair bursting.
McIntosh Donna's pupils, which were originally calm and chatting quietly with her companions, suddenly shrank.
She swallowed hard and turned her head in disbelief to look at the man holding the red pipa in the center of the stage.
