Chapter 590 It's So Difficult

Gu Xiaobai's program for the Spring Festival Gala has been finalized, but there are still many problems that have not been resolved.

The bell and drum is an instrument that can be said to be the most challenging instrument ever created.

How to record and how to live broadcast are problems.

Moreover, Gu Xiaobai also faced a bigger problem.

Who will play the bells and drums when he is on stage?

The Qin of Thousand Drums can also ask Blind Uncle to help.

But what about the harp of a hundred bells?

Gu Xiaobai prepared a backup plan, which is an automatic playing device.

But all the automatic playing devices in the world are all made for pianos, and the size and power are completely different, so they need to be refitted or remanufactured.

And whether it will work perfectly by then is hard to say.

This plan can only be used as a backup.

A better way is to find a suitable musician.

But this is more troublesome.

As a brand-new musical instrument, so far, no one has been able to master the playing method of the Hundred Bells.

Dongcheng, Qinchuan Musical Instrument Factory, in the huge factory building, there were bursts of low and penetrating bells.

More than a dozen professors and students of Dongcheng University of the Arts gathered around the keyboard of the Hundred Bells, all frowning.

The bell in the Bell and Drum Tower is in the downtown area of ​​Dongcheng, so it is not suitable for rehearsal.

So, they came to the factory for rehearsal.

"No, it's slow, the rhythm has not kept up!"

"Just now, the strength was too weak, and there was no momentum at all!"

"You can't press the keys on the left with your fingers, but with your fists!"

"Foot, foot... Have you forgotten your foot again? If your arm is too late, use your foot! How many times have I told you!"

Several professors surrounded a student who was performing, a little out of breath.

The student who was reprimanded also looked helpless, even a little irritable. He said helplessly: "Teacher, this piece is really difficult...Even if it is difficult to play on the piano, okay..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and practice!"

Don't look at these professors who seem to understand one by one, but if they are really sitting in front of the keyboard, I am afraid that their performance will not be as good as these students.

These students, some from the piano major, some from the organ major, are all masters of keyboard instruments.

But suddenly asking them to change instruments is really difficult for them.

What's more, the qin of bells and drums does not use keys, but excitation keys like wooden sticks, and the entire keyboard is much wider than ordinary pianos.

Finally, a professor said: "If a person really can't react, why not try four-handed playing?"

"That's a good idea!" Hearing this suggestion, other people's eyes lit up.

They looked back and picked out two students: "Try it, both of you!"

In the factory building, there was another burst of bells.

After a while, there was another roar: "It's a mess! It's still a mess!"

"Are you four-handed bombing? You are random bombing!"

"Rhythm! Keep up with the rhythm!"

There are constant roars, facing a completely unfamiliar instrument, facing completely different force feedback, and delayed piano sound, it is really difficult to practice a difficult piece.

At the same time, Wang Mingsuo, a third-year piano major at Dongcheng University of the Arts, came out of the piano room somewhat disconcerted.

Just now, they conducted an internal selection in the piano room, and the selected outstanding students can participate in an international competition.

And he was eliminated with the bottom No.1 result.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but now he still wanted to cry a lot.

Can't cry, hold back.

At least, cry again when you return to the dormitory, so that no one can see it.

After learning the piano for so many years, Wang Mingsuo suffered a lot and suffered a lot, but Wang Mingsuo never thought of backing down.

Because he felt that what he paid was nothing compared to what his family paid for him to learn the piano.

Learning the piano is really expensive.

He was born in an ordinary, even poor working family.

As long as he can remember, he remembers that grandma always took a lot of medicine and was always bedridden, and his father always came back very late and was very tired every time.

But he has shown different talents since he was a child. From the first time he passed by the piano room with his father, he was attracted by the little brothers and sisters who were practicing piano in the piano room.

After pestering his father to learn the piano for three months, when the teacher told his father that he was talented and hoped to cultivate it well, what he saw on his father's face was not joy, but an unspeakable helplessness.

But, after all, his father agreed with him to learn piano.

A year later, his father spent seven or eight thousand to help him buy a second-hand upright piano.

Five years later, his father spent more than 20 yuan to help him buy a small triangle.

Another five years later, he was admitted to Dongyuan Academy of Art.

Although Dongcheng University of the Arts is not the leading art university in China, the piano major is still very good.

Only a few students are recruited in each class, and it is the result of the hard work of the whole family that they can break out from the thousands of troops.

I am afraid that the money spent on practicing and learning the piano these years has exceeded one million.

When other people moved to bigger houses one after another, they were still shrunk in that small dwelling.

Until now, Wang Mingsuo didn't know whether he still loved piano or music.

But he can't give up, he has to keep going.

However, in his sophomore year, Wang Mingsuo found himself in an unexpected situation.

His stature has not grown very much, but his hands and feet are still growing.

His shoe size has increased from 43 to 49, almost like a boat.

And his hands are also two times bigger than ordinary people.

Playing the piano requires long fingers, but not as long as possible.

Not to mention, his fingers are not only getting longer, but also getting thicker.

As his fingers grew longer, his movements became less and less flexible, and many skills that he could do before were gradually becoming impossible to do.

Many difficult, high-speed pieces, he always makes mistakes.

The teacher once asked him to give up and switch to other majors.

But he didn't want to give up.

They have paid too much for the piano.

He once went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor couldn't tell the reason, but said that the sutures of his hands and feet closed relatively late, and suggested that he keep observing, if it takes too long, he can consider surgery...

But he plays the piano, how can he perform surgery?

From his sophomore year to his junior year, his level deteriorated very badly. He practiced hard, but his level was not as good as when he took the art test.

Now, Wang Mingsuo's teacher has persuaded him to change careers.

What should I do?
Wang Mingsuo returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed and cried for a while, feeling completely at a loss.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the other two students in the dormitory lay down on the bed exhaustedly: "Oh, I'm so exhausted..."

"I really don't want to go, this carillon is too difficult!"

"Why is it so difficult to play!"

"How do you press such a big piano key?"

With a cry, Wang Ming sat up from the bed.
