Chapter 44 News of the second round of testing
Just as Fan Ning was surrounded three floors in and three floors out, the noise of the boys almost overturned the classroom——

"boom!"

From the corner of the front row came a muffled sound of beating on the table.

"It's so noisy, are you done yet?"

A cold male voice reached everyone's ears.

The person who spoke was wearing a straight black dress, tall and thin, with a stern face. He was the leader of the first grade group, Muritch from the piano department.

He stood up from his seat, still holding the pen in his hand, with ink marks on his fingertips.

"This is your gentlemanly demeanor as a student of the Imperial College?" Murridge's gray eyes were cold, and he scanned the crowd slowly, staying longer on the most violent people among them.

Fan Ning finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, the team leader should be able to save himself this time.

"That's right, are you all bored?"

"You don't want the sheet music, so what's the trouble by crowding in front?"

"That's right, you like Ms. Roy, you fuck yourself, what are you doing with him?" A girl who looked fragile was confused in her expression because she was too angry.

Sister, what are you talking about. Fan Ning almost trembled when he heard this sentence.

But in short, the first few students who approached Fan Ning to talk to him also expressed their dissatisfaction, and more and more people followed suit.

So, Fanning caused outrage, and then these people caused more outrage...

In the end, they finally dispersed and sat down in all directions.

It's just those eyes in all directions... If it could kill people, Fanning felt that he would have already disappeared.

"Damn it, Lu and Cecil from the second group and the third group, one asked for leave, and the other didn't take this course." Murridge muttered, sat down, and continued to bury himself in thick books and papers. creation.

With a long sigh of relief, Fan Ning lowered his head and opened his briefcase: "I'm sorry everyone, I may not have printed enough of that "Fantasia Impromptu", here are only ten copies."

"My first."

"I was second before."

"I'm also one of the first few."

Each score has nine sides and five pages, and Fanning has already organized it with a wire binding machine.

"Thank you, Caroline."

"Thank you."

Fan Ning handed them out one by one to everyone's outstretched hands.

"Uh, I'm really sorry, it seems that it's actually Jiufen, and the last one is my manuscript." Fan Ning looked at the pitiful girl in the yellow skirt who was holding out her hand.

"Can you give it to me?" There was light in her eyes.

"No." Fanning politely refused.

Yesterday I finished writing "Fantasia Impromptu" and then wrote the string quartet, my hands are almost broken, okay!

Feeling that everyone was staring at his manuscript more eagerly, he hurriedly stuffed the manuscript back into his briefcase.

"Everyone, please borrow the students next to you to make copies after class. Downstairs is the printing service point of Pushore Publishing House in our school."

After Fanning dropped the last sentence, he began to look for a seat.

In the back corner, he saw a guy in a vest lying on the table, sleeping soundly with his face deeply buried in his arms.

"Calvin, you are here to catch up on sleep early in the morning."

Fanning recognized her former roommate's curly hair, said hello, and sat next to her.

Calvin raised his head slowly, revealing a dull face and heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"My God, brother, you have to pay attention to your body." Fanning said in surprise.

Your part-time job with a weekly salary of 3.5 pounds is too labor-intensive, right? ...

Fanning inspired, imagining a sphere of three beams of light expanding from his chest.

He "sees" Calvin's etheric body is normal, but the boundary between the emotional body and the astral body seems to be a bit blurred. In addition, the aspect of "candle" is not golden but close to earthy yellow, and the silhouette has a peach similar to the "pool" aspect red.

Is this something unusual?
"What have you been doing lately? Don't you sleep at night?"

Calvin yawned for ten seconds: "The main reason is that composing music is too much trouble, Carlone, you people can write such beautiful works, and you are so energetic all day long, you are really monsters."

Is it because ignorant people compose music after their inspiration is exhausted? ...Fanning himself was not sure.

Fan Ning asked again: "Didn't you hand in your composition test the next day? Why are you still composing?"

"Because my results in the first round were very good! Out of 182 people, I ranked 10th!" Speaking of this matter, Calvin finally regained his energy.

"So I started to meet the second round of tests for the selection of small works. This time we are going to write a sonata, but only in one movement."

"It seems that the opportunity to stay in school has really inspired you." Fanning laughed.

But he was still a little surprised. Calvin's previous composition level was really average. If he won the opportunity to play the French horn at the graduation concert, it would still meet Fanning's expectations.

"Hey, don't tell me, I'm not the only one who is lucky this year. There are two guys who can't compose even eight bars, but they are ranked higher than me. What a ghost." Calvin I curled my lips.

Fan Ning couldn't understand it now: "It seems that everyone has a moment of inspiration?"

Calvin yawned: "Let's not talk about this... according to the gossip, the second round of the selection of your large-scale works is chamber music writing, and it should be officially announced at the next group meeting."

"That's the same as last year."

My own string quartet is also prepared for the upcoming round of tests.

"However, I heard that there are still some changes in the form of testing this year."

"Oh?"

"You should remember that the entries for the second round in previous years were all performed at the school's upcoming New Year's concert."

"Yes, every year at this time is the end of the year, and then the teachers and students of the school will be voted on." Fan Ning recalled.

"But this year, I heard that your second round of entries will be put in a special performance at the Uflandsell City Concert Hall! Then you will receive votes from the entire art world in the new works exhibition hall!"

Um?This is indeed a big challenge. Fanning thought in his heart.

He only got the news now, later than Team Leader Cecil.

In the city concert hall, the scrutiny faced is not only from the music circle of Uflandsell, but also from the whole country and even from abroad.

Compared with the scope of the previous school, the degree of expansion is exponential.

Those contemporary mature artists, those mainstream cultural comment media, some people will encourage the immature students' works, but most of them are merciless criticisms and criticisms.

And there is another point: In school, each student has the right to one vote. Although there are operational factors, they are not significant.

The New Works Exhibition Hall of the City Concert Hall has its own voting mechanism.

The audience's titles, consumption records, and influence in the art world are all factors that affect the audience's voting weight.

From the perspective of Imperial music fans, it is difficult to bury genius music works, but this does not prevent the system from having a complex operating logic.

I really urgently need to use performers and appreciators with greater social influence to help open up the situation for my entries.

"Callon, come on." Calvin yawned again, "The "Improvisation Fantasia" last time made you very popular in our Department of Musicology, and there are also a few students in other departments who are optimistic about you. We will definitely help you to vote."

After speaking, he buried his face in his arms and continued to sleep soundly.

Fanning's hands ripped open the delicate envelope under the seat.

A salon invitation letter issued in the name of Ms. Roy, which not only contains basic information, but also includes Ms. Roy's home address, personal phone number, contact list of housekeepers for various affairs, and the car that picks up Fanning. time and location.

This invitation was enough to trigger some mass events at Saint Lenia University.

Of course Fanning's main focus was not on it.

Next came the brand new 50-gold note, 10 of which would be enough to buy the apartment I now live in.

Uvransel does not officially issue banknotes. Several major mainstream banks issue their own banknotes. In addition to the portrait of King Louis printed on their pages, they also have well-designed bank logos and different denominations.

Logically, if the banks failed, the banknotes issued would become useless paper, but in an age when industry was booming and prosperity was within reach, there was ample confidence in the imperial economy.

They are the largest denominations currently issued by the Reichsbank.

Fan Ning smelled the special fragrance of the ink, felt the delicate and thick texture, and felt that they were extremely comfortable.

Ps Let me talk about the problem of the protagonist's "Light of First Awareness" ability. I didn't make it up randomly. It has something to do with the music and the protagonist's inheritance. It's only now that the tip of the iceberg of limitations is revealed, and the protagonist gradually approached its essence later.Well, everyone can also open their minds and guess where it has something to do with music. (Hint: mainly in the fields of composition and conducting)
