The computer was placed behind the electric piano, Qi Qingnuo sat next to Yu Xinting, and the two read the score together. Yu Xinting didn't start immediately, and asked Yang Jingxing first: "How do you play here?"

Yang Jingxing said: "You discuss. ”

Qi Qingnuo doubted: "There should be a half-rest here, and there should be a ...... here."

After discussing and creating for a while, Yu Xinting began to play, a very soft prelude, and after ten seconds, Qi Qingnuo began to sing, ah...... Well......

Qi Qingnuo's voice is slightly neutral and slightly impurity, but she is already familiar with the melody, and her humming is more emotional. The vocals here can be regarded as instrumental music, and they are played in concert with the piano.

As soon as the effect came out, Yu Xinting and Qi Qingnuo knew that Yang Jingxing's simplicity in music structure was not cutting corners. As a novice composer, Yang Jingxing has used a variety of techniques in his first few works, the framework of "Sun in the Rain" is already relatively large, and "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" can be regarded as more complicated, but this singing song, the feeling of reading the score is concise and smooth.

Qi Qingnuo's voice was louder, but it lowered faster, and the opening of his mouth was much smaller. Yu Xinting's ten fingers are even more gentle, as if stroking the piano keys.

Generally speaking, grace seems to be inseparable from sadness, but in this work, it feels just beautiful, and grace is very thorough and innocent. The piano accompaniment is composed in C minor, four or two beats, Yu Xinting plays a little slower and lighter, and Qi Qingnuo also becomes more gentle.

A little over three minutes, the coda is in charge of the vocals. Yang Jingxing applauded after listening: "It's better than I imagined." ”

Qi Qingnuo licked his lips: "Are we better than you think or yourself?"

Yang Jingxing was shameless: "It's all of them." ”

Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing: "Although nothing has changed, it sounds good...... It feels like ...... I don't know. ”

Qi Qingnuo analyzed: "It's relatively clean...... It is more appropriate for children to sing. ”

Yu Xinting agreed: "Yes, yes. ”

Yang Jingxing was anxious: "You say I'm naïve!"

Qi Qingnuo agreed: "That's it." ”

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No, it feels very clean...... Not a special child, a teenager, eleven or twelve years old. ”

Qi Qingnuole: "So precise...... Fu Feirong's singing should be appropriate, and her voice feels like this, and a few words are particularly good...... Let's call it a girl, innocent...... I'm so nostalgic. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Cherish it now." ”

Yu Xinting grinned.

Next, Yang Jingxing played the piano and asked Yu Xinting to sing it again, she was not as good at singing as Qi Qingnuo, but she felt pretty good, it seemed a little more naïve.

It's ten o'clock, Qi Qingnuo hurried to go home, and Yu Xinting also had to go back to the bedroom. Yang Jingxing recorded a piano track and practiced guitar for more than an hour before leaving 402.

Although those who study classical guitar in the conservatory do not look down on fingerstyle guitar, the expressive power of any instrument is actually endless, and it can never be played. There are also masters of the harmonica. Yang Jingxing didn't feel anything when he played Cinderella before, but now that he knows a little bit about it, he realizes that his fingerstyle guitar has just started, and there is still a long way to go. Of course, if the classical guitar is learned well, the fingerstyle guitar will be casual, but the classical guitar is as strict and precise as the piano, and self-study seems to be very unreliable, and Yang Jingxing has not had time to study it now.

Yang Jingxing arrived at Fu's house for a barbecue at a quarter past twelve, ordered some supper, and ate for about ten minutes, Fu Feirong came back on her brother's motorcycle, and she hadn't removed her makeup.

Yang Jingxing showed the manuscript to Fu Feirong, hey, girl, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, but then those tadpoles made her even more embarrassed. After a long time, Fu Feirong didn't get the melody of the first sentence out accurately.

The new waiter was two years older than Fu Feirong, and took the time to stand by and observe, and asked Fu Feirong: "Girl, have you heard it?"

Fu Feirong shook her head: "Of course not." ”

Fu Feirong's sister-in-law had sharp eyes and called the waiter to do something.

It seems that Fu Feirong has worked hard to teach herself, at least she knows the notes throughout the text, but the singing score is not smooth, there is no absolute pitch at all, and she has to try to sing the melody of a bar, and it takes more than ten seconds to have an approximation.

Yang Jingxing was not in a hurry, eating and drinking slowly, and watching from the side without reminding. Half an hour later, Fu Feirong finally finished a few pages of score, and her forehead was sweating.

Yang Jingxing said: "Hmph again." ”

Fu Feirong snorted again, there were many intermittent mistakes, it was really miserable to hear. Yang Jingxing turned on the computer and played the melody of the piano to Fu Feirong.

Fu Feirong at least heard a little: "I'm singing fast." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You give me the MP3, go back and listen to it more, figure it out, don't worry...... This is the melody, this is the accompaniment, and you can sing it with the accompaniment when you are familiar with it. ”

Fu Feirong's sister-in-law came over and asked, "Does Panpan also want to buy a computer?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's better to have. ”

"Buy, buy!" this sister-in-law is very generous.

After Yang Jingxing's copy was finished, Fu Feirong listened to it with an MP3 and a headset on one side, and then helped Yang Jingxing pour beer, and resolutely said: "If I can't do it, forget it." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I respect your decision, but I think you can." ”

Fu Feirong bit her lip: "I work hard." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled again: "Don't be pressured, just sing, have you been afraid before." ”

Fu Feirong hehe: "This is different...... What else is there to do?"

Yang Jingxing said no, and then insisted on checking out and left. Fu Feirong chased after and asked, "Can I let Sister Ran teach me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, but what she teaches is not necessarily the best." ”

Fu Feirong nodded: "I know it." ”

On Thursday, Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo continued to enjoy the Hundred Flowers Cup, and after the vocal works in the morning, they began to work instrumentally in the afternoon. It's really lively, all kinds of musical instruments are up, and there are also national drums beating loudly. Electronic music is not accepted for the competition, so Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo's works have made changes in the arrangement and orchestration. Despite this, there are still some works that have a bit of a non-mainstream flavor, and the best thing to say is that they have the nature of experimentation. To put it better is to say that it is real art, not commercial music.

Luo Jiaqian commented on a ten-minute erhu work: "Long and boring. The song she wrote herself is accompanied by guitar, a very girly theme, gentle and sad all the way, not difficult to listen to and not excellent, but the author loves his own work, just like parents love their children.

Anyway, after four or five hours a day, everyone was quite bored except for hearing their own works, but the applause for each work was warm. There are a few piano duets by professionals, and string duets have been unanimously recognized, but there is nothing new, and it is estimated that they will never be performed on a large scale.

It wasn't until the last period that Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo felt that a flute solo was good, with a fresh and rich flavor, and it was not non-mainstream. The introduction of the work said that the author was an old man in the countryside and didn't know any theoretical knowledge at all, and the work was sorted out and sent by the regional cultural unit.

It seems that there is a real difference in life.

Qi Qingnuo also asked if Yang Jingxing taught Fu Feirong to sing last night, and what Fu Feirong had to say about the song itself, and then said: "She is too pure...... Can you tell us what your plans are?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is no long-term plan for the time being. ”

Finally got to Friday, at noon Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo ate dumplings together for the winter solstice festival, Yang Jingxing asked for thirty pork cabbage, Qi Qingnuo fifteen sauerkraut, and exchanged ideas.

There were more than a dozen works in the afternoon, one after the other by Qi Qingnuo and Yang Jingxing, but there was no finale. The lineup of "Clouds Open and Fog Disperse" is relatively large, and the folk music part is still there, but there is no electric guitar and electronic organ, replaced by trumpet, trombone and timpani.

In general, it is still a good work, the structure is clear, the melody is decent, and the orchestration and arrangement are not conventional, but the overall melody is not particularly eye-catching. The judges' scores are also divided into many items, and Qi Qingnuo should have a relatively high score in terms of personal characteristics.

Next is Yang Jingxing's "Sun in the Rain", according to the total score sent by Yang Jingxing, the organizers of the event still gave him a brass group, a string group, as well as harp, snare drum, clarinet, and piano. The piano is not the main character.

He Hongchui also told Yang Jingxing that the random collocation like him and Qi Qingnuo is not traditional enough, and the music itself is not formatted enough, so it is more difficult to win the award. Bringing the work is also about participation.

It's just a high school auditorium, with no acoustic structure, and the band is relatively thin, with three trumpets and two horns, two violins and a viola, and the notes played are no longer felt like they are passed to the back row.

The conductor, who was not yet thirty years old, apparently did not bother to deeply understand these so-called works, and watched the score to finish the orchestra.

Thanks to so many of them, the things they played were not as good as Yang Jingxing, Qi Qingnuo, and Yu Xinting playing in 402. The grandeur and agility demanded by the song became shriveled and stingy here.

Of course, first-time listeners will not compare this version with the version of 402. Several of Qi Qingnuo's classmates watched Yang Jing's courtesy and said yes, yes.

Qi Qingnuo said: "This trumpet is not as good as your blowing." ”

There are a few finale works at the end, and the origin is relatively large, and those people sitting in the front row also applauded vigorously.

So many works, finally finished. Then it was time to get down to business, and the leaders and artists began to speak, summarizing and congratulating how successful the competition was. At the same time, the organizing committee began to count the scores of all works, and the rankings will be announced later.

But many people in the auditorium didn't care about the outcome, it was five o'clock, they had to go home for dinner, and at least a third of them left. The rest of the people made a fuss, like some kind of drinking party, and everyone introduced each other to each other.

He Hongzhui walked to a distance of about ten meters and called, "Yang Jingxing, Qi Qingnuo, you come here." Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo hurriedly went over, and the remaining few could only watch, who made their skills inferior.

He Hongchui took Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo to the rostrum, and waiting for them was the older generation of composer Ding Sangpeng. After shaking hands with the two juniors, Ding Sangpeng first praised Qi Qingnuo, saying that she had made good attempts to innovate and make breakthroughs in the performance of folk musical instruments, and she should continue to work hard.

The old man was very kind, but he was no longer energetic, and although he spoke clearly, his voice was relatively quiet. Qi Qingnuo listened to the praise from a relatively close distance, and said thank you, and wished the old man good health.

Then there was Yang Jingxing, and Ding Sangpeng asked: ""The Sun in the Rain" should be a grand work, right?"

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "I originally thought so, but I didn't finish it." ”

Ding Sanpeng said: "The competition conditions are limited, and there is not much time to prepare...... Young people will have many opportunities in the future, don't pay attention to winning awards at one time, and continue to work hard in the future. ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Thank you for your encouragement, I'll come on." ”

The old man looked at Yang Jingxing, then at Qi Qingnuo, and instructed: "Puyin hasn't produced a work for a long time, you have to work together." ”

Qi Qingnuo nodded: "Don't worry." ”

Yang Jingxing also said: "We will." ”

Ding Sangpeng said to He Hongtui again: "These two young people, not bad. ”

He Hongchui also thanked him, and then helped the old man to go elsewhere.

I really didn't expect that people who have lived for two dynasties would appreciate such trendy and commercial music, Qi Qingnuo's expression was moved: "I think of my grandfather." ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you still alive?"

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "My mother is from Pingjing, I went to her a few times when I was a child, and my grandfather was old at that time, but he was very good to me...... You see my mother is so small, follow my grandfather. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You follow your father." ”

Qi Qingnuo said: "But my personality is like my mother. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I think there are more like your father. ”

Qi Qingnuo said: "In my bones...... How much do you know about me!"

Yang Jingxing apologized: "It's not that you're superficial, it's me." ”

Qi Qingnuo sneered: "You still want to go deeper?"

Yang Jingxing said: "There is gravity. ”

Qi Qingnuo tugged at the corner of his mouth to change the topic: "What about your grandfather?"

The award ceremony is held at six o'clock, divided into age groups, but not vocal and instrumental. First, those under the age of 36 will first announce five excellence awards and receive the awards on stage, and then: "The third prize winning work, folk music ensemble "Clouds Open and Fog Disperse", composer, Puhai Conservatory of Music, junior composition department, Qi Qingnuo, please come to the stage." ”

Qi Qingnuo raised his eyebrows after hearing the name of his work, and glanced at Yang Jingxing. Yang Jingxing smiled wickedly: "Treat." ”

Qi Qingnuo accepted the congratulations of his companions, but refused to give him a hug, and then walked quickly to the rostrum in the usual posture of walking at school.

Then the second and first prizes were announced, which were a song and a piano trio, respectively. When the first prize was announced, Luo Jiaqian and Xu Xuesi all looked at Yang Jingxing.

Yang Jingxing turned his gaze and said, "You heard it wrong, it's not me." ”

Luo Jiaqian comforted: "That's it, it doesn't matter." ”

It took more than ten minutes for Qi Qingnuo to come back, holding the certificate and trophy, as well as 8,000 yuan in bonuses. Yang Jingxing didn't win the award himself, so he took other people's eyes.
