This star’s style is wrong

In today's entertainment industry, any news related to Fang Xing is a hotly searched topic.

There is nothing we can do, the fun-lovers, fans, anti-fans, and Fang Xing’s PTSD patient are all dancing around.

Even in the circles of some online platforms, whenever Fang Xing's name is mentioned, it will cause a war of words.

Just because of the relationship between Lu Xiang'er and Fang Xing, plus the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, it is destined to be a hot search.

However, this time the scolding war was not very intense.

Because of this period of time, Lu Xiang'er's momentum was booming. She only participated in the two countries' sorority party last month and performed "Butterfly Lovers" at the party.

This matter alone is not easy to complain about.

Therefore, the anti-Fang Xing alliance, black fans, and Fang Xing’s PTSD patients all held their breath and did not jump out to fight against the wind.

However, since the Tchaikovsky Competition has become a hot search topic, it has already attracted the attention of these groups.

It's not easy to criticize on the Internet.

In a private fan group, it's different.

Especially in the anti-Fang Awakening Alliance group, they were scolded the most.

Cao Yunlei's undercover operation was very successful. He has not been discovered yet, and he is still firmly in the position of administrator of the group.

The days without Fang Xing’s news are always boring.

The third round of the Tchaikovsky Competition started, and the group immediately became active.

"Lu Xiang'er is so shameless. He participated in the fraternity meeting between the two countries just to win prizes in the competition. He is so scheming."

"That is, he spent money to get gold, and even went to a sorority party between the two countries to show his face. The Russian judges must give high marks for the sake of the sorority between the two countries."

"Anyway, Lu Xiang'er's true level is about an average of -1, which is probably around 7 points. It's far from Patrick."

"This couple of idiots at FX know how to create hype. They get annoyed when they see news about them, and they buy trending news every few days. I have never seen them so shameless."

"It's just a violin competition. Who will watch it? It's too embarrassing to buy hot searches."

Cao Yunlei watched the discussion in the group with great joy.

Seeing his lewd smile, a colleague walked over and asked, "What kind of porn movie are you watching? He's smiling like that."

"No, the people in the group are discussing the game." Cao Yunlei answered casually.

"What kind of competition? Just masturbate today. It's like novices pecking each other. There's nothing to see." The colleague said casually.

"Can you have some elegant hobbies, Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition." Cao Yunlei showed a look of disgust.

"I know this. Lu Xiang'er has entered the finals. There is no live broadcast of the competition in China." A colleague saw someone discussing this topic online.

"There is an anchor broadcasting, but if it is reported, the live broadcast room will be blocked." Cao Yunlei said.

"How are the discussions going on in the group?" a colleague asked.

Cao Yunlei turned the phone over to him and said, "See for yourself. These people are incredible."

When colleagues saw the chat records in the group, they opened their eyes and said, "Are they serious? Do they think the National Art Troupe invites Lu Xiang'er to perform at the two-nation fraternity to embarrass the country?"

Cao Yunlei shrugged: "Don't doubt the lower limit of this group."

The colleague was speechless and said, "That's true. But having said that, it's not easy for Lu Xiang'er to win the award. Everyone else is playing a world-famous song, but she wants to play "Butterfly Lovers", and the gap will suddenly appear."

Cao Yunlei agreed: "Indeed, but I still hope she can win the award. Otherwise, when the competition is over, I don't know how she will be liquidated."

A colleague reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's not our turn to worry about this kind of thing. Even if you win the award, you will be expelled from the NC fans as the champion. If you don't win the award, you will have to suffer."

The colleague paused and asked curiously: "Hey! How did you join this kind of group? Why is the name of your group so strange? 'I am not in conflict with dogs'."

"Haha, it's not important, it's not important." Cao Yunlei quickly took his phone back and turned off the screen to avoid exposing his identity as an undercover agent.

Subsequently.

The two went online, found a live broadcast room that broadcast the game, and started watching the game.

…

at the same time.

The time gradually came to half past three.

The fifth contestant has come off the stage.

It was Lu Xiang'er's turn to play.

Fang Xing hugged her and said, "Go ahead. Just treat it like a performance. I'll listen to your thoughts in the audience."

"Okay." Lu Xiang'er nodded vigorously, then came on stage with the violin.

Game start.

Lu Xiang'er first played an excerpt from the third movement of Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D major". This movement is relatively difficult.

Choose difficult excerpts in the finals. As long as you perform well, you will have a chance to get higher scores.

This is also the strategy of most contestants.

Therefore, the concerto excerpts chosen by today’s contestants are all very difficult.

The audience in the audience who chooses to watch this type of competition must have high musical literacy.

When the contestants started playing, the whole audience fell silent and listened quietly.

Fang Xing sat in the rest area backstage, listening with his eyes closed.

The melodious sound of violins echoed in the Moscow International Concert Hall.

The Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition is very valuable in the field of violin performance.

Because Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D Major" is too difficult.

This violin concerto was composed by Tchaikovsky in 1878.

At that time, Tchaikovsky had just overcome a mental crisis caused by marital problems. Mrs. Meck gave him financial and spiritual support, made some new friends, lived in Switzerland for recuperation, and his mood recovered very well.

It was in this state that Tchaikovsky composed the "Violin Concerto in D Major".

The creative process was very smooth, and it only took more than 20 days to complete the entire work.

However, the violin concerto's road to fame was not as smooth as its creation.

After Tchaikovsky completed the "Violin Concerto in D major", he first handed the score to Leopold Auer, a professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music.

However, after reading the score, Leopold Auer gave a technical assessment of "unplayable".

Because of the unique way the violin produces sound, not all musical scores can be played.

This is different from the piano.

When playing the piano, as long as you have enough fingers, you can press multiple keys at the same time.

Even if one person's fingers are not enough, two people can play it with four hands. If not, three people can do it.

The violin is different. There is only one bow. Whichever string the ponytail of the bow rests on, the sound will be produced.

Once there is a musical score with large jumps, it will be difficult for the violin to play it.

Therefore, after Tchaikovsky composed the "Violin Concerto in D major", he was evaluated as "unplayable".

Later, Brodsky, a Russian violinist in Vienna, obtained the sheet music of the "Violin Concerto in D Major". After more than two years of hard work, he performed this work with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in December 1881.

This was the premiere of the "Violin Concerto in D Major", but the premiere basically ended in failure.

Not only that, this work was also criticized and attacked by the Viennese music circle. The most violent words were from the Viennese critic Hanslick. He believed that the work had too many folk colors, and the overly enthusiastic rhythm was inappropriate. Norms of the Viennese musical tradition.

The musician Broz did not stop performing this work because of the criticism, and continued to perform it everywhere, which ultimately made this work a success.

To express his gratitude, Tchaikovsky dedicated this work to him.

This concerto was initially deemed "unplayable".

It can be seen how difficult the "Violin Concerto in D major" is.

Among them, the third movement is a relatively difficult part of the entire work.

Lu Xiang'er worked hard on the stage and played this piece of music to the extreme, showing off her best performance skills.

Fang Xing listened to every sound quietly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This is the state.

As long as you maintain this state, you will be successful.

As for the final score, it depends on the subjective feelings of the competition judges.

In Fang Xing's opinion, this was Lu Xiang'er's best condition.

The last note fell.

Lu Xiang'er stopped playing, bowed slightly to the audience and judges' seats, then took a deep breath, rested for a moment, adjusted her state, and prepared for the second entry song.

The second entry song is naturally "Butterfly Lovers".

Lu Xiang'er has already developed muscle memory for this piece of music.

Because she loves this song.

Her biggest wish is to use this song to win awards in international competitions.

Because the trophy she got in this way not only belonged to her, but to two people.

This is the reason why she insisted on using "Butterfly Lovers" to compete.

The performance begins with the string section of the symphony orchestra playing, paving the way for the beginning and end of the music.

Later, the violin, the main instrument, joins.

The melody is light and lively, as if telling the story of two young girls getting to know each other.

Sometimes there are birds chirping, and sometimes there are springs tinkling.

It seems like the two protagonists are outing and having fun, and their relationship is getting better and better.

Wait, the violin begins to solo.

The graceful piano sound seems to be telling the thoughts of an ignorant girl.

This elegant and graceful music style is completely different from other world famous music, showing the cultural heritage of the East.

At the judging table.

Sumarokov, who is over sixty years old, is smiling and listening to the music with his eyes closed.

He liked the song so much that he wrote to ask for the CD.

A week ago, he received the CD and a letter of thanks written by Lu Xianger.

He listens to "Butterfly Lovers" every day, and gets different results every time.

Moreover, the feeling of listening to a CD and listening to a live performance are completely two different experiences.

Therefore, he was very satisfied with today's game.

The other judges next to him are all musicians in the music industry, and they have all heard about Sumarokov writing letters asking for CDs.

Some people think this is an interesting story.

Some people think this is a bit embarrassing.

As a highly respected musician, he went so far as to ask for a CD from a young musician, and even wrote a letter asking for it from a thousand miles away.

Sumarokov doesn't think so. He has reached the age where he can live however he wants. As long as he likes, he can do it himself, plant flowers, grass, and build fences.

He thought the music "Butterfly Lovers" was good, but he couldn't buy the CD, so he wrote to ask for it.

This is a friendship between musicians and there is no shame in it.

Among the judges, there was a middle-aged violinist named Lermontov, who had some trouble with Sumarokov.

The reason is that in his early years, before Lermontov became famous, he wanted to be promoted by Sumarokov, but Sumarokov felt that there was a hostility in his music and was unwilling to make friends with him.

The two formed a feud.

At the beginning, Sumarokov was an accomplished musician, and Lermontov was not yet famous, so he did not dare to express anything in public.

As Lermontov became famous, he gradually began to oppose Sumarokov, and even his musical ideas ran counter to him.

…

on the stage.

Lu Xiang'er continued to play as the story developed.

The sound of the piano gradually changed from cheerful and joyful, to the sadness of parting, and then to the resistance to marriage, and the hero and heroine turned into butterflies.

The whole song, with its ups and downs, tells a poignant love story.

After listening to it, Sumarokov even had sparkles in his eyes, as if the music reminded him of many past events.

He took a deep breath, picked up a pen and wrote down his highest score in the game, 9.3 points on the scorecard.

This score is very high, higher than Patrick Pate's highest score.

On the other side, Lermontov thought about it for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and then wrote down a score.

After the performance.

Lu Xiang'er put down her violin, bowed to the audience and judges, then turned and walked backstage.

After the judges finished scoring, the staff came up to collect the score cards and then made statistics.

Three minutes passed.

Score statistics completed.

The host got the result and began to read out the final score: "The contestant, Miss Lu Xiang'er, has a highest score of 9.3 points and a lowest score of 8.5 points..."

After thinking about this, there was a commotion at the scene.

Because the difference between the highest score and the lowest score is too big.

8.5 points is not the lowest score in the game, because some contestants’ final scores are less than 8.5, so 8.5 points is naturally not the lowest score in the game.

However, these two scores are indeed the biggest difference in the game.

The highest score is 9.3 points and the lowest score is 8.5 points, a difference of 0.8 points.

Theoretically speaking, once the musical literacy reaches a certain level, even if there are subjective feelings, the gap in scores will not be so big.

The largest score difference before was 0.5 points.

This time the point difference actually reached 0.8 points, which is a bit outrageous.

There were many world-famous musicians in the audience. When they heard this lowest score, they felt that it was a bit low.

Although the score of 9.3 is a bit high, it is far from the spectrum of 8.5.

When Sumarokov heard this score, he frowned and turned to look at Lermontov on the other side.

After being targeted for so many years, it was clear to Sumarokov that the middle-aged musician had a problem with him.

It's just that it's a bit inappropriate to bring this kind of emotion into the work of judging.

However, both parties are judges, not a superior-subordinate relationship, and the competition does not stipulate that judges cannot give low scores.

Moreover, the score of 8.5 points is not the lowest score in the game. The score is indeed low, but it is so low that it is difficult to find fault.

Lermontov made this score after careful consideration.

He really wanted to give a low score, but as a judge, the score couldn't be too low.

He estimated that the scores given by other judges, even the most strict judges, should be above 8.6 or 8.7.

Therefore, he directly gave it a score of 8.5, which was accurately the lowest score, but not too low to be ugly. (End of chapter)
