Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1285, Section 505: "Kids! Let's gather together!"

The most effective practice secret is to never practice incorrectly.

Continuing to arrange things this way is like rushing through a scenic view; it's completely meaningless.

Once the car had made up its mind, it immediately made everyone stop after the first rehearsal.

"what?"

Before the choir members could react, the car called out to them, "Each section leader should lead their section members in practicing their own section."

"Yuwei and Wenting, could you please keep an eye on the pitch and rhythm of the harmony section again?"

Qin Yuwei: "Okay!"

Zhang Wenting: "Received!"

The car then waved its hand, "Let's begin, everyone."

Chaos erupted on the stage in an instant, and in the confusion, Tang Xiaoxing stumbled off the conductor's platform.

"Little Star, come here."

Xiao Che waved his hand, jumped off the stage first, ran to Fang Zheng and calmly said, "Teacher Fang, there's no point in arranging it like this. I have an idea that we might be able to try."

Fang Zheng liked the idea of ​​a small car: "Tell me quickly!"

Xiaoxing, who had followed along, also heard what Xiaoche said. She felt a pang of shame, knowing that she had once again delayed everyone's time because of her.

The car turned around: "Little Star, hurry up, I think I've found the key to the problem."

After a pause, he said, "Xiaoxing, I now believe the problem isn't with you at all."

Tang Xiaoxing was taken aback. Subconsciously, she thought Xiao Che was trying to comfort her, but Xiao Che's eyes and tone made it seem like he was talking about something very seriously.

"Professor Fang, what do you think is the biggest constraint in making this piece come alive on stage?"

As Xiao Che asked the question, both Fang Zheng and Tang Xiaoxing fell into thought.

moment.

Fang Zheng: "Age? Probably not."

Xiao Che: "You must have heard the video of the Moon Choir singing. They are all adults, but they can be just like children."

Fang Zheng: "Giving examples is fine, but they are all professional choral singers."

Xiao Che laughed: "You are a more professional singer. You played many opera roles when you were studying abroad. Did you have a conductor on stage at that time? I don't mean the orchestra conductor in the pit."

Fang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he blinked, saying, "You mean that conducting is a constraint on this work?"

Car: "Yes, if we want everyone to be completely free to express themselves, then why do we need to give orders?"

"Actually, why don't we look at it from a different angle? Let each member of the choir play the role of a kindergarten child in this piece. When they have their own role, they have a stage identity to identify with, and then we can let them perform the rest themselves, right?"

Fang Zheng was once again struck by the car's words, and the smile on his lips clearly indicated that he had been completely moved by the idea.

How could anyone have come up with the idea of ​​having each student play the role of a kindergarten child!
That's brilliant! This way, everyone can fully immerse themselves in the role, directly from the inside out, just like when they're finding their role on an opera stage. Once that's determined, many things naturally come out.

How terrifying is Arlene! But if he didn't need to give orders, Fang Zheng subconsciously looked in Tang Xiaoxing's direction.

"I have no problem," Tang Xiaoxing stated directly. Her thoughts were simple: as long as everyone could put on their best performance, she was willing to be an audience member.

Xiao Che laughed again: "Xiao Xing, of course you have no problem, and Wang Xiaohu has no problem either. Although I haven't seen their rehearsal stage, I believe he has definitely done his best."

"Don't you know him? He's a real troublemaker, and no one is better at these kinds of activities that require livening up the atmosphere than him."

Tang Xiaoxing chuckled at the vivid analogy. Indeed, recalling the events of last year's summer camp, the team leader was definitely the most mischievous one.

Xiao Che: "Half of the members of the Shuren Choir have participated in the Star Returns stage, so on average, they know much more about how to perform on stage than our choir."

“But if Wang Xiaohu encountered the same problem as us with this choir, it can only mean that this stage is not suitable for a conductor.”

Tang Xiaoxing understood and immediately felt relieved: "Linlin, you're right! I'll go sing the first part!"

Xiao Che exclaimed in surprise, "That won't do! You have an even more important task!"

Tang Xiaoxing: "Huh? What else can I do?"

Xiao Che: "You play the piano."

Tang Xiaoxing exclaimed in surprise: "And what about you?!"

Little Car: "Wouldn't it be better if we played the accompaniment together?!"

Fang Zheng: "That's a good idea. I was thinking about it yesterday afternoon. The accompaniment you two played together sounded really good. It was Linlin who added the high-pitched sound effect, right? I think it was very clever."

Ha ha ha ha--

"Let's get started right away!" Tang Xiaoxing was already getting impatient.

Fang Zheng: "Me too! Linlin, the stage is in your hands. In a bit, you can talk to everyone and just do what you think is right."
-
As the little car and the little star returned to the stage, the stage gradually quieted down.

Everyone just saw them and Teacher Fang discussing something backstage.

"Please give me a few minutes."

The car walked to the center of the stage and said, "We don't need to conduct this piece."

"what?"

"No more commands?"

"No commander?!"

"Then how do you sing it?"

"Who are you looking at?"

A commotion arose.

Xiao Che chimed in with a laugh, picking up on what one of the second-instance members had said, "None of us need to look at anything. The accompaniment starts first, and we don't need to follow the conductor's lead anyway. Just follow the music."

It's urgent.

"correct."

"There is music."

"My rhythm is super accurate!"

Another commotion ensued.

Xiao Che: "Not only that, we also want to turn this song into a small stage play."

This time, even the audience couldn't help but laugh; it was inexplicably fun!

Little Car: "The name of this stage play is—it's our turn to perform this time!"

ha?
ha?
What a cute name!

Xiao Che: "Each of us has our own unique role, and the role we are to play is ourselves from ten years ago."

As the car finished speaking again, gasps of surprise rang out one after another.

Playing yourself ten years ago is just playing yourself in kindergarten, isn't it?

Sudden.

"I know this very well!" a male student from the third department confidently declared.

Hahahahaha!
"I know it too!"

"I know it best, okay!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was finally starting to look decent, Xiao Che breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that no one would react after she finished speaking.

So she continued.

"Since it's been changed to a stage play, we don't need any voice parts anymore."

“We have four voice parts in total, but now we don’t want them all anymore. Let’s change it to—let me think—”

"Forehead."

The car's sudden malfunction did not elicit any reaction from those on stage; everyone waited quietly for their Minister of Culture.

Having never been to kindergarten, Xiao Che didn't know what names to use to represent each voice part. She knew that kindergarten had senior, middle, and junior classes, but this wasn't the feeling she wanted.

As she flipped through the time capsule from ten years ago in the corridor of her memories, all she found were ants, various insects, and the sounds of pots and pans in the kitchen.

"We could change it to 'Ant Class' or 'Coriander Class.' I'm just giving you an example. What were your class names when you were in kindergarten? We can discuss it together and then each vocal group can come up with a class name. Do you all understand what I mean?"

That's it!

The stage is about to enter a lively discussion!
"I'm from the Dandelion Class."

"My class name is funny, it's called the Smart Bean Class."

"Haha, I'm in the jumping class."

"."

"."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiao Che also showed a happy smile. They were all adorable class names.

Soon each vocal part determined its own name.

First section leader Qin Yuwei: "We're the Crawling Class!" Second section leader Chen Qian: "We're the Konjac Refreshing Class!"

Ha ha ha ha--

Zhang Wenting, head of the third section: "We are the Rainbow Class!"

Wang Yizhi, head of the fourth section: "We are the Bubblegum Class!"

The little car grinned: "Alright, everyone! Let's get ready to begin, little star!"

"Teacher Che, this is here!" Tang Xiaoxing raised her hand in front of the piano.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

The little car snapped its fingers with great satisfaction, and the next second, a cheerful piano prelude began.

Instead of returning to the piano to play with Tang Xiaoxing, the little car ran off the stage.

"A seed has been planted in my heart, tick-tock!"

Two teachers and students from Fangzheng stood in the aisle to get a panoramic view of the stage.

It must be said that the stage effects became noticeably more vibrant after the audience's mindset was changed.

The atmosphere that had been racking our brains for the past two days has finally emerged.

However, new problems arose. Although everyone had released their emotions, some students' movements were still a bit stiff.

Some students were able to let loose, like Qin Yuwei and a few other girls, but their movements weren't synchronized.

So the whole stage looked a bit messy.

Although it's said to have been changed to a stage play, stage plays also emphasize harmony between movement and stillness.

"Teacher Fang, we still need to coordinate everyone's movements."

“That’s right, let Qin Yuwei lead everyone in practice later. I think she jumps quite naturally.”

"Ah."

After two rehearsals, the toy car returned to the stage.

"Excellent, kids! You'll all get little red flowers at the next rehearsal!"

"Thank you, Teacher Che!"

"I want two!"

After exchanging a few words with everyone, Xiao Che clapped his hands and said, "Next, we need to coordinate our movements. Qin Yuwei, could you demonstrate for us?"

Qin Yuwei froze for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hands: "I can't do it!"

Joking aside, you can't joke about a competition. Qin Yuwei doesn't even know what her movements are like each time; she mainly relies on feeling.

"I can't remember the moves, I just swayed randomly."

Car: "This~"

Indeed, Xiao Che understood what Qin Yuwei meant.

Just then, a shout came from below the stage: "Teacher Che! Guan Yutong, the class monitor of Little Sunflower Class, is asking to participate!"

The car turned around at the sound, and Xiao Guan had already raised his hand high!
Little Sunflower Class
It turned out that while the four vocal parts on stage were discussing the class name, the substitute players offstage, led by Xiao Guan, also decided on a class name.

At first, the students in the audience felt that they were not good enough to go on stage, and that it would be strange to specially choose a class name.

But Xiao Guan said to everyone, "So what if we can't go on stage? We're still members of the choir even if we can't go on stage. Does that mean we don't deserve a class name?"
And so, the remaining eleven substitute players came up with the name "Little Sunflower Class"!

Xiao Guan was also inexplicably chosen as their class monitor by the substitute players!

Hearing the class monitor raise his hand to speak, each member of the Little Sunflower team felt as if they were enveloped in a ball of light!
Their eyes met across the stage. Xiao Che felt both touched and guilty looking at Xiao Guan's playful gaze. She had really forgotten about the students in the audience. And Xiao Guan raising her hand at this moment must mean that she had secretly prepared something again, just like every time before.

"Everyone applaud!"

Fang Zheng took the lead and started lining up; he was very excited!

"Wow————————"

Amid applause, Xiao Guan walked confidently onto the stage and stood directly in front of the conductor's podium.

"hey-hey."

That smile radiated confidence!

"Everyone get ready!"

The little car ran up to the piano shouting, "1! 2! 1! Let's go!"

The moment she shouted "Let's go!", Tang Xiaoxing lowered both hands simultaneously.

"when!"

As the intro began, Xiao Guan swayed her body rhythmically from side to side to the beat of the music. She covered her ear with her left hand to listen, then raised her right hand as if to greet someone. All her movements were hard to call dance, but they were perfectly in sync with the music.

Step two steps with your left foot and twist your waist.

Spread your arms out and sway from side to side.

Fang Zheng could tell at a glance that behind each perfectly timed movement lay traces of meticulous choreography.

You can't even get on stage, Xiao Guan Guan, you're making me so sad!
Seeing the students from each class swaying their bodies along with Xiao Guan on stage, Fang Zheng even thought about letting all the children in the audience come up on stage.

To hell with the rankings! It would be so much better to let all the kids go on stage for a round in the second round.

However, he also had to consider his boss's instructions.

The boss had already instructed him that Shi Po must achieve a good ranking in the city this time.

Singing is fundamental in a choral competition, and having students from the Little Sunflower Class perform would inevitably affect the singing quality.

We can't expect everyone to go on stage and remain silent; that's the first hurdle Fangzheng would face.

Fang Zheng thought to himself that he must find a stage in the future so that these children who had never been on stage could have a chance to sing in the choir.

"OKGo, come on, come on!"

"OKGo, come on, come on!"

"OKGo, come on, come on!"

Inspired by the performance, our teacher Fang Zheng couldn't help but sing and sway along.

He circled three times to the left and three times to the right, all the while taking a short video of Guo Guo up close with his phone.

moment.

King: I want to see the stage!
God: Don't even think about getting any information about Doraemon's class!
Fang Zheng also gave himself a class name. Although he was the only one in the class, it didn't stop him from becoming the class monitor of Doraemon's class.

Ha ha.
-
Thus, Shipo Middle School made another major breakthrough in its preparations for the competition.

With the help of the car's plan and Xiao Guan's guidance, everyone finally mustered their courage!

But problems are like tomorrow; they will always arise.

Xiao Che discovered another problem in her and Tang Xiaoxing's four-hand accompaniment: the two of them were using the piano together, which made the piano tone somewhat monotonous.

She felt that the accompaniment would be more outstanding if two different timbres were used.

But what other musical instruments does she play?

This is her new problem.

However, her problem was much simpler than the new problem Wang Xiaohu encountered.
-
It was four hours later in the afternoon.

Bookman's Concert Hall.

On the command platform, Brother Tiger lowered his hands, looked around, and asked, "What is contrast?"

"Stop laughing!"

"My friends!"

"Stop with your cute smiles!"

"We are adults now!"

"We want to interpret this song with the deepest feeling, even deeper than when we sing 'I Want to See You'."

"Do you understand what 'profound' means? Lin Ziyang, don't you like to show off?"

"This is your comfort zone!"

With a burst of laughter, the stage erupted in cheers once again.

"Stop laughing! We're playing the adults now!"

"We, middle school students, are playing adults—that's the contrast!"

The audience seats below the stage.

Haitao was a little shocked: "You're saying this was Brother An's idea? Are you sure Xiaohuzi didn't take the wrong medicine?"

Yan Zhen: "So it still has to be the boss."

Haitao turned around: "?"

Yan Zhen: "It's just that the young master is a bit too high right now."
