While Hu Shuo was busy with the post-production and editing of "Love Apartment", the finals of the National College Chorus Competition of "Sing for the Motherland" were underway.
This time, Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music was personally led by two professors, Huang Yurong and Hao Datong. At this moment, the chorus of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music was already waiting.
In addition to the thirty-two members of the chorus, a six-member accompaniment team including Yu Man was also waiting.
Yu Man was wearing gorgeous costumes and was quite eye-catching even among the handsome boys and beauties at the music academy. At this moment, she was holding a lighter in her hand. She pressed the switch with her thumb and the flame ignited. When she released her thumb, the flame went out...
She pressed it repeatedly, staring blankly at the flames.
"Manman, what's going on with you?"
Ruan Shuangshuang patted Yu Man on the shoulder. She was also a graduate student at Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music. She was roommates with Yu Man and was also a member of the accompaniment team this time.
"Oh, it's nothing." Yu Man came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly.
"You said it was fine. You don't smoke, but you always keep this lighter with you. I wanted to ask you a few days ago. Are you in love?" Ruan Shuangshuang asked tentatively.
"How is that possible!" Yu Man shook his head decisively: "No way!"
"Then how do you explain this lighter?" Ruan Shuangshuang curled his lips slightly and said with playful eyes: "I'm really curious, what kind of man can make us so distracted? It won't be the one downstairs in the dormitory last time.
The handsome guy with nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, right?"
There are actually not many men pursuing Yu Man. After all, her temperament, appearance, and figure are all outstanding. However, as a hardcore literary young woman, Yu Man's criteria for choosing a spouse are really not external things. What she pursues
It's a musical resonance. The man she likes can be ugly, but he must be talented.
It is precisely for this reason that although there are many men pursuing Yu Man, none of them can stir up a single ripple in her heart.
But she always firmly believed that one day her rightful man would come "out of joy" and live deep in her heart.
And this day did come, even earlier than she imagined.
However, what Yu Man never expected was that the person who "came here for fun" was a man she was destined to be unable to get. However, the music written by him had already lived in her heart...
"It's time to play, come on everyone!!"
After the previous school's performance ended, it was the Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music's choir's turn.
Huang Yurong and other leading teachers gave words of encouragement, while Yu Man and Lu Shuangshuang also quickly stopped talking, cheered up and followed the chorus members onto the stage.
Since the champion and runner-up of this competition can go directly to the stage of the National Day Gala, not only every participating school attaches great importance to it, but also the director team of the National Day Gala. One of the judges here is a member of the director team of the National Day Gala.
, is also a famous domestic composer, Wan Feng.
However, Wan Feng and the other dozen or so judges looked serious at this moment, because the performance of the previous teams on stage was quite satisfactory, with nothing particularly outstanding, so these judges were a little depressed.
After the Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music choir took the stage, they lined up according to their rehearsal positions, and the accompaniment team headed by Yu Man also took their respective positions.
"Hello fellow judges and teachers, we are the choir of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, and the song we are going to sing next is "Singing the Motherland"."
A girl standing in the C position of the choir introduced with a clear voice.
"Well, let's get started."
Luo Jingfei, the head of the competition organizing committee, who was sitting at the judges' table, nodded slightly.
As he finished speaking, the exciting melody of "Singing the Motherland" sounded...
Originally, the original songs had a certain freshness, coupled with the exciting melody of "Singing the Motherland", the judges who were already boring in aesthetics immediately became energetic after hearing this song. The head of the jury, Luo Jingfei, and the people sitting next to him
Wan Feng glanced at each other involuntarily, then explained and nodded in agreement.
Not only is the melody of this song fresh, but the quality of the song also exceeded the judges' expectations.
In fact, before Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, two colleges and universities sang original songs in order to get extra points for originality. However, the results were not very good. They only got 3 extra points for originality, and the final total score did not exceed 9o points.
.
According to the rules of the chorus competition, the value of the original bonus points can range from one point to five points depending on the quality of the original work, which means that a maximum of five points can be added.
After Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music finished singing, the judges at the scene gave the audience the highest score so far: 97.5 points.
The theoretical full score for the chorus competition is 100 points, but a score of 90 is already considered a high score. The judges from Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music actually scored 92.5 points. However, because the repertoire they sang was original and of excellent quality, they got the award.
With an extra 5 points, the two combined gave a high score of 97.5, making him the favorite to win the championship.
After seeing the scores of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, the pressure on the remaining three teams that did not participate suddenly increased.
The order of appearance in the finals is determined by the results of the preliminaries. The worse the results in the preliminaries, the earlier the team will appear. However, Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music performed generally in the preliminaries and entered the finals in fourth place. Therefore, they were also ranked last.
Four teams appeared, and the three teams behind them were the Central Conservatory of Music, Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and Sudong Conservatory of Music.
Among them, the Central Conservatory of Music, the first place in the preliminaries and the winner of six consecutive National College Choir Competitions, is the last to appear. Before the start of the finals, they are also the favorite to win this choral competition.
However, after the results of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music were announced, the leading teachers and choir members of the Central Conservatory of Music were confused.
With a score of 97.5, it has been able to win the championship in five of the past six finals. Only in the finals five years ago, the Central Conservatory of Music Chorus scored a super-high score of 98 points with an almost perfect performance.
Therefore, when the score of 97.5 from Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music came out, the teachers and students of the Central Conservatory of Music participating team all looked nervous.
"Professor Zhang, how about we start the second plan."
The leader of the chorus of the Central Conservatory of Music is a grizzled old man named Zhang Jieyan, a professor of the folk music department of the Central Conservatory of Music.
The person talking to Zhang Jieyan was Liu Yingwu, one of the choir’s leading teachers.
In order to cope with the finals of the National College Chorus Competition, the Central Conservatory of Music Chorus has prepared two sets of plans. The first set of plans is also an alternative plan. The song is a classic chorus piece. The choir has rehearsed it countless times. The members
The coordination is seamless and can be said to be perfect.
But based on past experience, if they competed with this piece, they should be able to get a high score of around 95 points. In fact, if Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music hadn’t unexpectedly scored a high score of 97.5, it would have been entirely possible to get a score of around 95 points.
to the championship.
In order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, the Central Conservatory of Music has also prepared a second set of programs. It is an original piece. The quality of the songs is acceptable. The choir has rehearsed many times, but compared with the tracks in the first set of plans, it must be inferior.
There are some gaps.
However, the advantage of this second plan is that there is a chance to get 5 extra points. If you play it perfectly, you may be able to surpass the 97.5 score of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music.
The original plan of the Central Conservatory of Music team was that if none of the previous teams scored more than 95 points, they would directly use the first plan. This is also normal.
But once a team gets a high score of over 95, they must consider launching a second plan.
Therefore, since Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music received a high score of 97.5, they had to passively consider using the second plan. After all, if they responded with the first plan, the possibility of the Central Conservatory of Music winning the championship again was extremely slim.
Therefore, Liu Yingwu directly mentioned it now.
However, as the leader of the Central Conservatory of Music Chorus, Zhang Jieyan also has another consideration, that is, the quota for the National Day Gala.
The champion and runner-up of the competition can all get a place to participate in the National Day Gala. Judging from the current situation, if the second plan is used, there is hope of getting the first place, but that must be under perfect performance, and the judging panel
They also need to recognize their original works and get 5 extra points for originality, which can be said to be very difficult.
Not only that, if they fail to perform well in singing original songs, then their scores may drop very low. Not to mention the championship, it is very likely that they will not even get the runner-up, in which case they will lose the qualification to participate in the National Day Gala.
.
Therefore, the high score of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music has posed a problem for Zhang Jieyan. If they continue to use the first plan, they have a very high chance of winning the runner-up. There is a high probability that they can get a place in the National Day Gala. However, if they use the second plan
If you follow a plan, although you may win the championship, you may also get nothing.
For Zhang Jieyan, this is a very difficult multiple-choice question!
"Professor Zhang, we have been champions for six consecutive years. If we can win the championship again today, we will set a record of winning the championship for seven consecutive years..." Seeing Zhang Jieyan deep in thought, Liu Yingwu reminded him from the side, according to his
The idea is naturally to give it a try.
"But have you ever thought that if we fail, we may not even have a place to participate in the National Day Gala." Zhang Jieyan said solemnly.
"This... shouldn't be that miserable." Liu Yingwu hesitated and replied. In fact, he didn't think that much. He was just thinking about competing for the championship and did not consider the final ranking issue.
"When did Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music produce such a talented person? The quality of their choral works is much higher than the quality of our original works. As a result, it may be difficult to get the full 5 points..."
Zhang Jieyan murmured, if it weren't for the high quality of Jiangcheng Academy's original works, the Central Conservatory of Music wouldn't be as passive as it is now.
At this moment, the results of the Sudong Conservatory of Music, who were the third to last one, came out. The song they sang was also an original song. Their ambition can be seen from the song selection, and their overall performance was also very good.
The jury gave a high score of 91 points. However, their original song did not get a full score of 5 points, but received 4 points. As a result, their total score was 95 points.
If this score were compared to last year, we would have won the championship.
