Chapter 601
Here, Xiao Yuancai didn't know that his email had led to the friendly exchanges between Davidson Conservatory of Music and Huahai University of Communication.
After waiting for a long time without receiving any news, Xiao Yuancai couldn't help but send a text message to his fellow junior sister Devlin.
Devlin implicitly expressed her mentor Zillman's attitude, completely breaking Xiao Yuancai's illusions.
The plan to ask for help was shattered, and Xiao Yuancai's team had no choice but to adopt Plan B - hire a navy army!
No matter what, we cannot let the overwhelming praise for Ye Zhiqiu's solo on the Internet continue to develop.
Soon, a technical analysis post about Ye Zhiqiu's "Flight of the Bumblebee" appeared on the Internet, with a very eye-catching title.
"The mistitled "Flight of the Bumblebee" and the deceived audience should be Ye Zhiqiu's loser."
"In this piano piece, the two-to-three rhythm is more difficult, just because it requires a certain amount of skill and speed, and then the fingers are constantly running, which will make people who don't know how to play the piano feel particularly powerful. In terms of the skill of the piece itself,
The right hand is mostly chromatic, with more left and right chords, so it’s actually not difficult to conquer..."
Different from the overwhelming praise on the Internet, this post is clearly written by a professional and uses a lot of terms to analyze the song "Flight of the Bumblebee".
After being forwarded a lot in a short period of time, this article attracted the attention of many netizens and quickly aroused heated discussions among a large number of netizens.
"It turns out that this song is one of those songs that sounds much harder than it plays."
"I'm just telling you! How can Ye Zhiqiu, a pop singer, be better than the professional performer Xiao Yuancai!"
“Thank you, host, for your information!”
"From this point of view, it may not be Xiao Yuancai who loses."
On the Internet, there has never been a shortage of groups who like to sing the opposite. In addition, under the promotion of some thoughtful people, many rational people who "everyone is drunk and I am sober" gradually emerged and began to "rectify" Xiao Yuancai's name.
However, this time netizens are not so easy to fool.
You are a general analysis of scales and chords. Don't you just want to illustrate the point of view that "Ye Zhiqiu only looks good, but Xiao Yuan is really good".
But...you talk so much about everything, and you can't play well enough for others! Not only that, people with the same expertise soon came out to refute.
"When you say that, I think Ye Zhiqiu is even more awesome."
"It's so funny, "Flight of the Bumblebee" is not that difficult. This blogger is either bad or stupid, but seeing as he can write so many professional terms, he should be in the former category."
"Reply seriously. The questioner said that this piece of music is not difficult because the melody itself is very repetitive. People who can play the piano can master it after a certain amount of practice. However, they ignored the most important issue. This piece of music requires a lot of repetition.
The biggest difficulty in achieving pop-up effects is the pursuit of speed.”
"The correct explanation from upstairs is that knowing how to play doesn't mean you can play well. You will know after you practice to Ye Zhiqiu's level and try it."
"Hahaha, that's right. According to what he said, I can also build an atomic bomb. Isn't it E=mc^2? I learned it in high school."
The controversy on the Internet about the difficulty of "Flight of the Bumblebee" has not affected the popularity of this piece. On the contrary, as time goes by, this piano piece has become more and more popular.
Abroad, in a university somewhere.
Zhou Zhou is a senior overseas student and a well-known self-media blogger. He opened an account called "Laowai Reaction" on Bengyin.
As a native Chinese, Zhou Zhou was extremely uncomfortable with foreign food when he first studied abroad. From his original kitchen novice, he suddenly developed excellent cooking skills.
Then, after he posted a record of his foreign roommate's "shocked" reaction to eating boiled fish to Benyin, his roommate's reaction was so funny and the video was so good that his account went up a little.
pink.
From then on, Zhou Zhou had an idea and started the process of promoting Chinese characteristics and recording the reaction of crooked nuts.
Although the shooting technique is simple, because the video is real and unscripted, it has attracted many fans. Currently, his Benyin account has more than one million fans.
On this day, after seeing Ye Zhiqiu's solo performance in a "piano duel" with Xiao Yuancai on Weibo, Zhou Zhou was so shocked that he immediately decided on the material for the next video.
So, before finishing the afternoon dinner gathering with classmates from his research group, Zhou Zhou skillfully took out his laptop.
"Hey, ZHOU, what's the fun going on again?"
"Is this a photo shoot of Chinese food? I'm looking forward to the next dish!"
"Thank God, don't give me any more chicken feet."
Several classmates have "friendly appearances" in Zhou Zhou's videos many times. Everyone is familiar with the process and joked about it.
Zhou Zhou smiled and explained: "This time I am not taking pictures of food. Maybe Matt will like it."
"Have you not studied piano for more than ten years? Take a look at a piano playing video from China not long ago."
When they heard that there was no food, everyone's interest suddenly dropped a lot.
"Playing the piano? It doesn't seem to have any special features."
"Zhou, I think it's still too late to change. I will definitely cooperate."
A young man named Matt asked curiously: "Is he a professional pianist?"
Zhou Zhou smiled mysteriously, prepared his mobile phone for fixed filming, and then clicked on the computer to play the video.
Although the level of expectations was average, everyone still cheered up very cooperatively.
"Wow, what a big scene. Is this some kind of ceremony?"
"Wow, Zhou is a star in China, he looks very handsome!"
"Hey, Jenna, what do you think of me? Am I handsome?"
In a relaxed atmosphere, Ye Zhiqiu and Xiao Yuancai began to play together. This scene made everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha Zhou, is this what you want to show me?"
"Haha, these two people are very good, but why do they have to play together?"
"The one with long hair should be more powerful, and the person next to him has to read the score."
"The melody sounds like a song about love, but it's so weird for these two to play it together."
“I have to say, the effect is surprisingly good.”
After the ensemble, Xiao Yuancai performed a solo. Everyone was surprised and applauded.
Matt sighed: "Although I don't know the name, this person should be a professional performer."
"The paragraph just now would be difficult to pull off if you weren't a professional."
Everyone nodded repeatedly and expressed sincere admiration, but they thought the highlight of the video ended here.
Then, Ye Zhiqiu appeared in the video.
Starting from the first note, the eyes of several people gradually changed from blank to surprised, and finally their mouths opened slightly, shocked.
Zhou Zhou on the side was smiling and recorded the entire process of the changes in everyone's expressions.
Language may have boundaries, but music like piano music has no borders, which does not affect appreciation at all. When the song "Flight of the Bumblebee" ended, everyone was excited.
"OMG!! Is this the speed a human can achieve?"
"Oh my God, what did I just see?!"
Matt's face was extremely excited and he kept asking Zhou Zhou: "What is the name of this song? Who wrote it?!"
"Is there any music score online? It's so cool. I must learn to play it!"
Zhou Zhou smiled and answered everyone's questions one by one. When they learned that "Flight of the Bumblebee" was created by Ye Zhiqiu, everyone exclaimed like a "genius".
In the evening, Zhou Zhou simply edited the video, added commentary subtitles, and uploaded the video.
Chapter completed!
