Chapter 89 Impromptu Accompaniment

With sparkling costumes, wonderful chorus, slightly retro hairstyles, and magical dance moves, in this moment, the contestants fully displayed the sexiness of little women.

Especially the chorus part is extremely addictive, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.

"I'm like a wounded rose

But still shed tears

You hide this sadness

Don't even dare to look back

I want to bear the haggardness of longing alone

I-want-nobody-nobody-But-You…”

People couldn't help but stand up, waving their fluorescent sticks vigorously, and shouting the name "Liao Meiqi" crazily.

Over and over again, uniformly.

Even passers-by and spectators could not help but be infected by the hot atmosphere at this moment. Their hearts were surging and they shouted the name of "Liao Meiqi" along with the large troops.

Backstage, Xie Yuxun, who had just come off the stage, saw this scene through the TV screen, and her expression suddenly changed.

A group of teammates around him also subconsciously tightened their clothes.

"Is this the reason for their confidence?" someone whispered.

No one answered her.

The songs and images coming from the TV screen made the Yushu Qihua group collectively silent.

Xie Yuxun bit her lips tightly, her original confidence disappeared in this moment.

On the stage, under the shining lights, the girls shook their right index fingers, and along with the singing, they made pistol gestures with both hands. At that moment, it was like shooting arrows of love, causing the otakus at the scene to howl like ghosts.

"Liao Meiqi!"

"Liao Meiqi!"

"Liao Meiqi!"





A week later, Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Liao Yuan once again came to the performance site of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition.

After the group competition in the first stage of the qualifying round, more than half of the more than 1,200 contestants who participated were eliminated in an instant.

The 600 pianists who can appear at the scene will once again compete in a brutal elimination competition in the next week.

The rules of the competition are improvisational accompaniment, and there will be thirty-six singers on site for the contestants to choose randomly.

The pianist needs to provide accompaniment that matches the melody of the singers' singing.

The type of music is not fixed. Whether it is classical or popular, the appropriate choice depends on the melody given by the singer.

Improvisation or accompaniment must have a strong foundation in music theory and music. Therefore, the second stage of the competition tests the pianists' understanding of music theory knowledge and the basic skills of improvisation.

Improvisation is not playing blindly.

In a sense, there are three realms of improvisation.

The first state is the primary stage. Most beginners or amateurs are basically at this stage. Most of them think that improvisation means playing randomly.

The consequence of this is that, although it seems very improvised, the scales played have no logic, no development, no surprises, and the taste is not correct.

It's almost equivalent to a very boring noise.

Pianists at the intermediate and advanced stages are more powerful. Pianists at this stage are equivalent to players from amateur level 10 to performance level.

At this stage, most people have memorized many chords.

They know harmony, they know polyphonic composition techniques, they know how to use out-of-key notes, they know how to play in a structured, logical, interesting and interesting way, and the whole process is full of a sense of design.

But the problem is that people at this stage are like a huge chord library.

They have no inner strength, but they are unable to use it. When people hear this, they feel a sense of powerlessness, as if they were punched on cotton.

The final stage is a test of professional ability.

Because in the eyes of laymen, such experts and novices are basically called "blind bombers".

But when the scales pop up one by one, people can feel the absolute difference.

So, what are the masters thinking in their minds when they perform solo?

Of course, I don't think about various scales, various positions, and various complex rhythms and chords.

What they think is very simple, just various sounds.

This sound can be a simple motive of a few notes, a simple song-like melody, a sound wave made up of densely packed single tones, a highly harmonized sound beam chord, or a sound wave.

The sound of sound blocks being slapped down.

For example, the internationally renowned grand pianist Ronald Spielberg, who won the title of the first One Emperor and Four Emperors, used to perform his magic hammer piano skills many times during impromptu performances. His crazy gesture made the whole world marvel.

Fascinated by it.

But there is a difference between someone hitting the piano with their fists and hitting the piano with their fists.

The former knows what the sound will be like when hammering, how hard to use, what the rhythm is, how long the duration is, how to continue playing after hammering, etc.

And the latter really just smashed the piano.

Although both seem to be "blind playing", the biggest difference is that the master can hear in his heart what he will play in the future before playing, and has enough skills to express this sound.

This requires an absolute understanding of the various sounds.

Of the more than 600 pianists present at the scene, only a few could reach Spielberg's level of producing beautiful piano sounds even with a random punch.

But this does not hinder the progress of the second stage. After all, it is only the improvisational accompaniment ability of the school players that is tested. As long as they can reach the passing line, they can basically advance safely.

But even so, after a week, more than half of the contestants will still be eliminated.

"Hello, viewers, today Xiao Daji will live broadcast the East China Sea Division of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Contest for you. First of all, I would like to solemnly introduce our J station music version boss, Uncle A!"

Fu Xiaoci held a selfie stick and pulled Liao Yuan into the country with a smile: "Uncle A, say hello to everyone."

Liao Yuan wore a mask and waved to the camera, then narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the upper left corner of the phone screen.

Number of people online: 184,324.

180,000 people?

Although it cannot be compared with the official live broadcast of more than two million people, it still surprised Liao Yuan.

He instantly looked at Fu Xiaoci with admiration.

I thought I was just a has-been anchor, but I didn’t expect to be an Internet celebrity?

Having said that, after discussing with Liao Yuan, Fu Xiaoci couldn't resist the temptation and started to practice her old profession.

This does not hinder Liao Yuan's performance.

And at the scene, many pianists even started live broadcasting themselves. Each pianist's live broadcast room has almost thousands of viewers, and the occasional gifts and tips received by the pianists are enough for the pianist's recent period.

Time is spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Especially for the more well-known players in the competition, the live broadcast room is full of gifts, which makes Fu Xiaoci extremely itchy. Even the first sister Ling Lingyao started a live broadcast to interact with fans while waiting, earning tens of thousands a day.

The reward made Fu Xiaoci even more hungry and thirsty.

So after a little preparation, the live broadcast started immediately.

The name of the live broadcast room is more eye-catching: "That night, the story I had to tell with Uncle A."

However, Liao Yuan wore a mask and had a cold personality.

Fu Xiaoci couldn't move her, so she could only sigh and chat with the audience in the live broadcast room.

But even so, the number of viewers increased like a rocket, and the barrage filled the screen.

"Buddhist anchor, start broadcasting at random."

"The anchor's breasts are so big that I can't control my right hand."

"I'm passing by, and I want to ask, when will you drive?"

"Wow, Uncle A is so stylish!"

"666!"

"Pornographic anchor, I'm calling the police!"

"Out-of-print Adidas Nike, limited sale, non-Putian series, all 30% off, private message if you want!"

"Why haven't you started yet? Unsubscribed!"

Originally, when Fu Xiaoci started broadcasting, there were only a few thousand viewers, but after changing the name of the show, it jumped to 180,000 in just half an hour.

Although there is a difference of 20,000 viewers from the first sister Ling Ling Yao, it is also ranked in the top ten in the entire One Emperor and Four Emperors live broadcast zone.

Finally, the host came on stage and the second stage of the qualifying round officially began.
