Chapter 63 0063, Not Optimistic

"What a pity. I have to go home and miss this competition between Chinese and Western musical instruments and music."

"It's useless even in school. Except for those invited to participate in this musical instrument academic exchange meeting, no one else can go to see it."

"Which side do you think will win?"

"Do I need to think about it? It must be Western instruments and music. Let me tell you a statistic and you will understand. Western instruments and music account for at least 90% of the art schools in China."

"You know who will win and who will lose before the competition even starts? Wu Zhongyu is a famous music arranger in China."

……

Forums and class groups of major art schools in China are basically discussing this issue.

It has also spread to the music and musical instrument circles in the WeChat circle, with posts flying everywhere.

Even the leaders of these two micro-circles personally joined in and pinned a post titled "The first head-on collision between Chinese and Western musical instruments and music in the past fifty years of the new century!" This post has received over ten thousand replies.

1st floor: Discuss rationally and do not curse.

2nd floor: The front row sells melon seeds and fat house happy water!

Floor 3: Music knows no national boundaries, so what are you fighting for? Wouldn’t it be better if we all merge together?

Floor 4: Let’s not talk about what kind of music the two sides would write in such a short time of one day and two nights. Just looking at the performers, ours is worse than theirs. Aanzo and Angelo have won gold medals in the World Youth Piano and Violin Competitions.

Floor 6: Hey, why is there nothing above me?

Floor 7: If you live upstairs, you will also be in trouble down there.

Floor 8: You probably don’t know Yun Feng. Have you heard of “Dragon Fist” and “Childhood”?

9th Floor: He is a songwriter and singer, he knows nothing about Chinese traditional musical instruments.

10th Floor: It’s not that I look down on your Chinese national musical instruments and music. Our Western piano, violin and guitar, the three major musical instruments in the world, who can compete with them?

……

There are people who support either side.

but.

The number of people supporting Alvaro's side is twice that of those supporting Wu Zhongyu's side.

In the fifty years since the establishment of the Blue Star Village Alliance, although China has taken the lead in economy and technology, the influence of musical instruments and music in the world is indeed not as great as that of the West.

The spread of a musical instrument depends not only on the timbre of the instrument itself and the time and cost of learning it, but more importantly on some representative works of the instrument.

Take the piano for example. There are so many world-famous pieces of music created by piano masters, so this type of instrument is easy to become popular. The same goes for guitar and violin.

Compared with traditional Chinese folk musical instruments, such as flute and guzheng, although there are ancient music such as "High Mountains and Flowing Water", "Yangchun Baixue", and "Feng Qiuhuang", how many people have actually heard them? With fewer representative works of the musical instruments, it is naturally difficult for them to become popular.

There are many reasons that lead to this result, in general.

There was a cultural gap within the country. In the midst of war, the people were unable to take care of themselves and lacked the ability to appreciate music. They also knew little about their own country's musical instruments. Furthermore, there was no internal promotion and use of these musical instruments.

In the West, people worship and praise Jehovah, and people from all walks of life are proficient in music. For centuries, musical instruments have been constantly reformed and innovated, and there are many talented people in music creation. Many classical music are still loved by people all over the world.

The weather in Yanjing is very good today and the sky is very blue.

The mood of Alvaro, Daniel and his companions at this moment is as wonderful as today's weather.

"Teacher, this competition has already been on the hot search list of Weibo circle, and the music circle and instrument circle are full of discussions."

A smile appeared on Alvaro's face, and he asked Daniel, "What do you think?"

Daniel smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It would be best if we could film the entire competition process and put it online. This will not only increase the popularity of our respective schools, but also our personal popularity. You know, China has nearly 40% of the world's population, 1.8 billion people, what a huge market."

Alvaro and Daniel have already begun to imagine becoming famous because of this competition and holding concert tours in China and even around the world.

Aanzo and Angelo, who are going to take part in this competition, are also ready to try.

At the same time, Yunfeng and others also entered the Central Conservatory of Music.

Liang Xixi sensed the slightly depressing atmosphere in the team, walked quickly to Tang Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, are you nervous?"

nervous? nonexistent.

Tang Yu shook his head and replied, "I'm not nervous."

She has participated in countless music-related competitions since she was in elementary school, and performing on stage is a common thing for her.

At this time, Ling Yunuo on the side also asked Yunfeng the same question.

However, Yunfeng's answer was the opposite of Tang Yu's.

Because for both him and that "Yunfeng", this was their first time performing on stage, and it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.

When Tang Yu heard Yun Feng say that he was a little nervous, he immediately took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Eat one and you won't be nervous anymore. I remember when I first participated in a competition, I was so nervous that my hands and feet were shaking. My teacher gave me a candy and said that she cast a magic spell on the candy, so if I put it in my mouth, I wouldn't be nervous anymore."

At this point, her eyes curved into crescents and she smiled brightly, "I believed it, and I did as I was told, and I really wasn't nervous anymore."

Yunfeng took the candy from her and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Ling Yunuo who was standing aside was so regretful. Why did he become so stupid at this time? He couldn't even think of a word of advice.

Wu Zhongyu, who was walking in the front, vaguely heard them talking about whether they were nervous or not, so he slowed down and said to Yunfeng and Tang Yu, "Don't be nervous, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just relax and think about how you felt when you practiced for the last time last night."

Tang Yu said in a resounding voice: "Teacher, rest assured, we will do our best and will not embarrass you or Chinese musical instruments and music."

Yunfeng, a man, naturally did not want to be left behind, and patted his chest and said, "I will definitely kill them!"

Wu Zhenhui laughed and said to Yan Lide: "Lide, look at them, are they like us in the past, full of passion and fearless?"

Yan Lide also smiled and snorted, "That's just like me. You? You always hide at the back and are the first to run."

"Hey, I'm helping you guard your retreat, understand? And..." Wu Zhenhui said seriously, "When you run, if I'm not the first one to run, then I'm blocking your way."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Their bickering eased the depressing atmosphere in the team.

"Look, our people are coming!"

"Hey, if you're talking and laughing, that means you're well prepared."

"Alas, it's a pity that you don't know our national musical instrument, otherwise I would go and help."

"There's nothing we can do about it. This year, our school has only recruited ten people for the Chinese National Musical Instruments major."

"I just hope the loss isn't too ugly."

……

If even our own people are not optimistic, who else can we count on?

This actually aroused the fighting spirit of Yunfeng and Tang Yu.

The two of them tilted their heads in tacit understanding, looked at each other, and gave each other an encouraging look at the same time.

"Yan, Wu, it seems you are ready." Alvaro and his party deliberately stayed in the concert hall for a while.

Yan Lide smiled and said, "Alvaro, you are asking this question even though you already know the answer."

Alvaro glanced at the instrument boxes in Yunfeng and Tang Yu's hands and said with a smile, "It looks like they are plucked string instruments and wind instruments. I guess they are guzheng and flute."

Before Yan Lide could say anything, he waved his fingers and said, "Don't reveal whether my guess is right or not, leave some suspense, but I can tell you our combination first, piano and violin, I didn't take advantage of you, two against two."

Yan Lide raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Alvaro, let me tell you something. Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme, and everything will decline when it reaches its peak. God will take his own course and no one will be spared!"

Alvaro asked in confusion, "Yan, what does this mean?"

Yan Lide said with a half-smile: "You will understand after the competition is over."

"Oh~" Alvaro laughed and said, "That must be a compliment to me. Thank you, Yan."

Yan Lide also laughed and said, "You're welcome."

Yunfeng shook his head and smiled. Yan Lide was usually kind and friendly towards people and things, but now he seemed like a different person and had become sinister.
