Chapter 222: Reality is not a Novel

The lead judge of this provincial music compet.i.tion was called He Wencheng, the vice president of China Cla.s.sical Musicians a.s.sociation, and he was also a composer on an international level, and he was already in his sixties.

Long story short, he is an influential person in the field of cla.s.sical music, and he was in charge of the provincial music compet.i.tion in Jiang Nan, this already showed that the music compet.i.tion was a solemn affair.

As a famous composer himself, He Wencheng loved seeing performers who gave their respects to the original song, improvisation was taboo to him!

So, among all the judges, He Wencheng was the one who emphasized on accuracy the most. If someone manages to play the song accurately, while showing off their techniques, that would be perfect for him.

How hard would it be to perfectly match every beat and note of a music score?

When Zhao Youyue appeared out of nowhere in this compet.i.tion, she had given a huge surprise to He Wencheng!

During the qualifiers, he was already amazed by the skills of Zhao Youyue in the designated song, and had asked the other judges about this girl and her past achievements, but she was completely unknown to them.

Of course, the other judges were not able to answer him; they only told him she just recently got a grade ten in violin...

In the eyes of an average person, a grade ten in any musical instrument would be impressive for them; they would not be able to tell the difference because they were outsiders to that realm.

But in the eyes of a professional, grade ten was an amateur's level. The level difference between music performers and grade ten was even greater than grade ten compared with an average person.

This was just like those RPGs, leveling was easy in the beginning, but at the end of the game, gaining a level was much harder than raising ten levels in the beginning!

After knowing a little bit more about Zhao Youyue, he had paid even more attention to her now. Did she practice her skills all the time and caused her to become a late bloomer, and has finally decided to take part in this compet.i.tion?

Judging by the way Zhao Youyue walked onto the stage, it was clearly not her first time performing on stage...

This made He Wencheng very confused, but it never prevented him from admiring Zhao Youyue at all. Her manner of performing, gave her utmost respect to composers like him!

Now that they were in the finals, He Wencheng still favored Zhao Youyue the most. When she was able to play the designated song perfectly, he gave her the highest score, without any hesitation!

When it came to her self-picked song ”I Palpiti,” Zhao Youyue nailed the song completely and showed the judges the extent of her abilities!

She had activated her ”Xu Jing's card” for this occasion, as ”Xu Jing” had a superior learning skill and a mind without any distractions, and when paired with her body's adaptive ability, allows her to play any song with absolute accuracy!

After a song that lasted for more than ten minutes, Zhao Youyue was leftdrenched in sweat. Once again, she had experienced the hards.h.i.+p of Chu Luoxun in reality. She had insisted on performing with the main hero while dominated his piano performance, which was not an easy feat!

After playing the final note with a perfect end, Zhao Youyue bowed deeply to the judges and audience, it was an amazing performance!

The lead judge, He Wencheng stood up and clapped for Zhao Youyue in excitement, and the other judges followed suit. They were certain that the gold medal would go to Zhao Youyue. He Wencheng admired her that much!

But the applause from the crowd was not as enthusiastic. Perhaps, they could not see as much as the judges do. But they had to admit that the self-picked song of Zhao Youyue's was indeed something else. She had shown her skills to the crowd, and those who were familiar with music knew that it was a complex piece. The others would only be able to judge it by its surface.

It would be hard for those who were unfamiliar with violins to judge a song they do not know. When a violinist plays a song they are familiar with, even if it isn't particularly good, would garner their applause.

Zhao Youyue's parents were pleased with her performance, especially w.a.n.g Hua, ”My little sloth finally has the qualifications to play a musical instrument with me, we could be the perfect combo of pianist and violinist!”

Zhao Jiayi just gave a perfunctory nod, as a guy from a wealthy family, he knew a little bit about arts. He knew that his daughter's violin skill had already surpa.s.sed w.a.n.g Hua, at a professional level!
