"I really didn't expect you to come to take the art exam. Where do you plan to go to school? Are you going abroad?" Lin Zihui put down his chopsticks early.
Qin Jian glanced at the fat man and smiled, "Why can't art candidates take the art exam? I haven't gotten my high school diploma yet."
"As for where to go next, I haven't decided yet. I'll see when I get back from Japan."
Lin Zihui nodded: "Yes, but have you decided to participate in that competition?"
Qin Jian replied: "Well, the development of Japanese classical music is much faster than that in our country. I want to take a look."
"Yes." Lin Zihui sighed, "Remember to bring the first place back when the time comes!"
Fatty suddenly raised his head and interjected: "That's necessary."
"Can't you stop your mouth with so many dishes?"
Qin Jian said as he put the last plate of mutton into the pot, splashing a drop of hot red oil.
...
A harmonious lunch time for four people.
Fatty eats meat, Qin Jian eats memories.
...
14:25.
Nanshi Art Institute Studio, Examination Room No. 1
There is a piano on the stage.
There were so many candidates taking part in the exams, and there was no backstage for them to rest.
Under the dim light, most of the candidates began to adjust their instruments, touch up their makeup, and read music scores, but some of them had already wrapped themselves in cotton clothes and sat on armchairs to fall asleep.
Everyone is waiting.
The art exam cannot determine their life, but it must be an important page in their life resume.
14:30.
As the examiner came on stage, a commotion broke out in the audience.
"It's started, it's started"
“So nervous, so nervous”
"Don't sleep, it's time for the exam"
"hurry up"
....
After announcing the order of the examination room, the examiner opened the roster.
"The professional main exam begins now."
"Candidate No. 032, Zheng Liang"
"Candidate No. 056, Zhan Xiao"
"Candidate No. 124, Eurasia Road"
"Candidate No. 165, Ma Pengcheng"
"Candidate No. 201, Li Jun"
"Candidates whose names are called, please prepare in order."
...
As the examiner's words fell, the five named candidates came to the stage one after another to start the final preparations.
A short boy holding a bamboo flute walked onto the stage.
After bowing, the music began.
Probably because he was the first to appear, his start seemed a bit hasty.
The rhythm of the music was unstable at the beginning.
This causes the blowing to come faster and faster.
About less than a minute into the performance.
"stop."
A dull voice sounded from the judges' bench in the audience.
The male voice on the stage folds his flute and bows again.
"Next person."
A girl with a clarinet walks onto the stage.
...
The exam is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Some people performed poorly, while others performed well.
The overall level is uneven.
After the first half, only Shen Mu among Qin Jian and the other four had finished their performance.
A Bach unaccompanied suite won a lot of reaction from the audience.
Lin Zihui held her cell phone in boredom and started scrolling through it.
The fat man stood beside Qin Jian, covering the flute in his arms and kept mumbling.
But Qin Jian's attention was always on the music score in front of him.
Mozart k521.
After a piano candidate on the stage finished playing Chopin's Black Keys Etude, the examiner's voice sounded again.
"Candidate No. 038, Zhao Yu."
"Candidate No. 072, Wu Jianing."
"..."
...
"Come on, come on." Lin Zihui put down the phone in his hand and gave a thumbs up to the pale fat man.
The fat man nodded with a grimace, "Yes, come on, come on."
Qin Jian closed the sheet of music in his hand and said to the fat man, "As soon as I get on stage, I'll do the tuning first. The concert hall is hotter now than it was just now, so the tuning you just tuned should have been higher."
Shen Mu glanced at Qin Jian in surprise, and Lin Zihui was even more puzzled and said, "You want to play steel for him?!"
"Um."
Qin Jian stood up and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous."
"Just think of it as a concert."
"Let's go."
Qin Jian's calm voice was like a shot in the arm. The fat man exhaled and his whole body seemed to feel relaxed.
"come on."
...
In the different eyes of the audience.
For the first time in the instrumental music examination room, two people appeared on stage at the same time.
"No way."
"It's actually a steel partner."
“It’s too much to make a mountain out of a molehill if you have to take a steel partner for the joint entrance examination.”
"That person is Qin Jian!!"
"Damn it, it's true."
"Awesome, this fat guy is stable."
Qin Jian followed Zhao Yu to the stage.
The two of them bowed one after another.
"Keep your eyes on one spot under the stage and don't look away."
After giving a final reminder in a low voice, Qin Jian came to the piano and sat down.
He loosened his cuffs and played a standard note, la.
The fat man raised his flute and played a la.
When the two notes came together, there was a trace of disharmony.
Sure enough, the pitch increased
The fat man pulled the flute's mouthpiece outward.
Talk again.
This time, the discordant fluctuations were completely gone.
Most of the candidates in the audience had never seen such a formation before, and they were a little dumbfounded for a moment.
The judges at the judges' table were waiting calmly, waiting for the next scene.
Under the light.
Qin Jian raised his left hand.
The index and middle fingers gradually moved up and down.
A vibrating hum spread from the piano.
After a moment, his right hand immediately stretched out, and several sets of powerful seventh chords were added.
The gorgeous steel accompaniment melody, with its gentle power, is the perfect preparation for the introduction of the flute.
The fat man also moved.
In the most appropriate street shot, a bright melody sounded on the stage.
Qin Jian's hand slowly became lighter, and the sound of the piano became a little more gentle.
Leaving the piano room covered with sound-absorbing panels, we are now on this spacious stage.
The resounding brilliance of the flute seemed to bloom suddenly.
The lightness and weight are orderly, delicate and smooth.
Gradually, the fat man's body began to sway unconsciously to the music.
Most of the eyes in the audience, which originally fell on the piano, now returned to the flute player.
Just then, the flute sounded.
Suddenly a momentum broke out in front of the piano.
Qin Jian lowered his body, quickly played with his fingers, and a torrent of melody came out instantly.
The flute was not to be outdone, with a dense legato that perfectly fell on the piano melody.
The blending of music fills the moment with infinitely beautiful images.
"call."
Listening to the smooth music in his ears, Qin Jian hid behind the piano and let out a sigh of relief.
"After these three sections, there will be no problems later."
then.
Qin Jian also let go of his hands and feet.
Suddenly, the piano sounded loudly.
.......
The song ends.
As the first candidate to play the entire song, Fatty broke the half-time exam record.
The applause from the audience was also rare.
The order in the examination room was briefly chaotic for the first time.
In the center of the stage, the fat man excitedly bowed twice to the audience.
Under the light, his dress looked a little restrained, but that didn't matter anymore.
Through his own efforts, he won the best applause.
Qin Jian stood not far away, looking at the fat man's back, and then slightly bent down as the fat man bowed for the third time.
