The next day, when Gu Xicai arrived at the school, the art committee had already helped her make reservations for the music classroom.
"I made an appointment from noon to the afternoon. From today until the day before the festival, it's ours!" The art committee turned around and said to Gu Xi with a smile on his face. After a pause, he blinked again: " And ah, it's the best music classroom."
Hearing the words of the art committee, Gu Xi was a little surprised: "How did you do it?"
The best music classroom is in demand.
Was it so well booked
Gu Xi muttered secretly.
But I heard the art committee say again: "I just reported your name and said that you want to practice, and then the teacher arranged it for me."
And she didn't dare to ask for it for so long in the afternoon. The administrator teacher of the music classroom over there took the initiative to arrange it for her.
Thinking of the teacher's supportive face when he heard Gu Xi was going to borrow it, the art committee member also felt a little emotional: If possible, who wouldn't want to be a school tyrant, a good student in the school is so much liked by teachers.
"Let's go there at noon." The art committee said impatiently.
Last year, the poem recitation performed by their class 7 was criticized by many people. The most important performance this year was in their class, and she must be ashamed!
"Okay." Gu Xi nodded, looking at the other party's expression like chicken blood, and subconsciously stood up.
—
At noon, a few people went to the art building and were led into the music classroom with enthusiasm by the administrator.
To Gu Xi's surprise, even the music teacher came.
Is the configuration of booking music classroom practice so high now
Gu Xi looked at the art committee and cast a grateful look at the other party.
As a result, not only Gu Xi, but even the literary and art committee members looked confused.
The classroom was reserved by her, but she really didn't have the ability to hire a teacher, and she was also the most powerful music teacher in the legend of their school.
"I was at school at noon, and I just had nothing to do, so I came over to see you practice." Looking at the stunned students, the music teacher explained with a smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter, you can practice. I'm right by the side. If there is anything you don't understand, or you need my help, you can come and call me at any time."
Professor Gu personally contacted the school, hoping to help Gu Xi guide piano practice, of course she should pay attention to it.
However, Professor Gu also said, don't put too much pressure on Gu Xi. Therefore, the music teacher thought about it and decided to leave more space for Gu Xi to practice independently, and it would be good for her to guide her appropriately.
After the teacher went out, here, before Gu Xi could start, Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi also came.
Euphemistically called: Help Gu Xi cheer up.
It's just too much to come here and bring melon seed drink mineral water, potato chips and cola fried chicken.
"Are you sure you're here to cheer me up?" Gu Xi glanced at the two of them and asked faintly.
"Isn't this afraid that you are hungry, I prepared it for you in advance." Gu Chenyi said with a shy smile.
Gu Xi: "..." I believe in you.
Sure enough, even Gu Yanxiao on the side gave Gu Chenyi a blank look, and said, "You bought this, it has nothing to do with me."
After that, Gu Yanxiao handed another lunch to Gu Xi: "This is for you."
The pink and tender small lunch box looks like a product from Gu's family.
"Grandpa also asked Zhou's mother to make you a few snacks."
Hearing this, Gu Xi was taken aback: "Grandpa?"
"Could it be that Grandpa also knew that I was going to perform?" Gu Xi asked with a stiff expression.
"You guessed it right."
In the words of the old man, the votes of his precious granddaughter were drawn by him with one phone call and one text message.
Seeing Gu Xi's stupid appearance, Gu Yanxiao held back a smile and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Grandpa asked me to tell you, work hard."
Gu Xi: "..." I suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
—
"Then let's start." The literary and art committee members took out some of the piano scores they had prepared.
"Here is what you said yesterday. You have played a few songs before. I watched it, and this "Song of Swan Lake" and "Eternal Night" are more suitable for the closing of the festival. Main recommendation The song "Eternal Night"."
However, these songs are mainly used for teaching in schools, so the overall difficulty is not large, and they are relatively bland.
"If you perform free variation while playing, the overall performance will be stronger, but the variation is more difficult, so I helped you think of a tricky method." The literary committee winked at Gu Xi, and pointed to himself on the piano score. The revised place said: "The previous large prelude is too long, and there are no ups and downs, so I will delete it, and then you will enter from this part directly after two notes."
"The first time you play it normally, and the second time you change it, that is, to speed up."
Of course it's not enough to deal with experts, but it's definitely enough to deal with a lack of understanding.
"It sounds to the average audience, it will be absolutely amazing."
Gu Xi nodded and read the sheet music carefully, and found that the literary and art committee was indeed a good way to reduce the complex and simplify.
"How exactly does it work..." The literary and art committee member said, looked around a few people, and finally pointed at Gu Chenyi: "Just Gu Chenyi, can you demonstrate it?"
At this time, Gu Chenyi still had a piece of potato chips in his mouth.
Hearing the literary and art committee member say this, he nodded unequivocally and replied, "Of course there is no problem."
Gu Chenyi wiped his hands clean, and rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform slightly.
The moment he sat in front of the piano, Gu Chenyi's temperament changed.
The sound of the piano sounded, Gu Chenyi first played it at a normal speed, and then, a pitch change started to speed up.
By the second time, Gu Chenyi didn't even read the piano score.
"So handsome..." Dong Mingming next to Gu Xi whispered.
As for the picture of this person holding potato chips just now, let it be permanently destroyed in your mind.
Gu Xi also deeply agreed and nodded, looking at Gu Chenyi with a bit of surprise.
She knew that it was just like Lin Anxin would have been cultivated with many artistic specialties in the Lin family since she was a child. Although Gu Chenyi and the others were not required to do so, they had taken many such courses.
He knows how to play the piano with no surprise, but he didn't expect this guy to play so well.
—
At the end of the song, Gu Chenyi suddenly replied with a smile from his handsome and stern look.
嘚嗚 walked over and looked at Gu Xi: "How about it, it's quite simple."
"… "
Gu Xi did not speak, and looked at Gu Chenyi deeply.
"What, what's wrong?" Gu Chenyi looked a little unnatural by Gu Xi.
But seeing Gu Xi suddenly tickled the corners of his mouth at him without smiling, then blinked, and said seriously, "Xiao Chenzi, did you find that we actually look alike?"
Gu Chenyi was stunned for a moment: Suddenly there was an ominous premonition.
And Gu Yanxiao over there already understood what Gu Xi meant, and almost burst out laughing with a sip of Coke.
"I agree with Xixi's idea, haha. I sponsored the wig and clothing."
- Let Gu Chenyi pretend to be Gu Xi to perform.
Although I knew that Gu Xi was joking, it was too funny to think about that scene.
Hearing what Gu Yanxiao said, Gu Chenyi also agreed to come over, not only was he not depressed, he was even a little proud.
"I also think we look alike."
This is true: Gu Shao and Gu Xuan have similar facial features, so among the younger generation, Gu Xi and Gu Chenyi are also the most similar.
—
"Haha, Gu Xi, let's start, you can try it too, just like Gu Chenyi."
"Okay." Gu Xi responded and sat down in front of the piano with a serious look.
For the first time, Gu Xi played it at normal speed.
Although Gu Xi's fingering seems a little unfamiliar because he hasn't practiced for a long time, there is nothing wrong with it on the whole.
This kind of effect has quite surprised the art committee.
"Very good, then let's do it again quickly."
"Okay." Gu Xi replied seriously. Just thinking of the speed behind Gu Chenyi just now, Gu Xi suddenly felt a pain in his hand.
Seeing Gu Xi's serious face, the art committee couldn't help but smile: "Don't be so nervous, just relax."
"Yeah." Gu Xi nodded again: It's just like typing on the keyboard.
Fortunately, Gu Xi's fingers are still flexible. Although the playing after the acceleration this time was a bit "stumbled" in the middle, it was barely completed.
At this time, Dong Mingming suddenly found someone outside the door.
"Hey, Sheng Xiuyan?"
"Where?" The other people turned their heads and found Sheng Xiuyan leaning against the door.
"Sheng Xiuyan, why are you here?" Gu Chenyi asked.
"Passing by." replied calmly.
It would be perfect if you ignored the momentary stiffness in his face.
"You can still walk to the Art Building?" Gu Chenyi muttered, but he still took a bottle of Coke in his pocket and threw it to Sheng Xiuyan.
Gu Yanxiao, who was beside him, did not speak, and raised his eyebrows at Sheng Xiuyan.
Sheng Xiuyan didn't explain, he continued to maintain the setting of 'passing by' and left with a blank expression.
- He came here just to hear what song Gu Xi was going to play.
To create the effect of light moving with the sound, it is not as simple as adding a dynamic effect. Even if you are writing a program, you need to know what kind of song Gu Xi is playing, and then design the light and shadow according to the main melody and emotional color of the music. themes and effects.
Anyway, he wouldn't admit that he came to see it out of curiosity.
—
However, the question that Sheng Xiuyan had considered, Gu Xi also thought of it, so during the afternoon practice, Gu Xi asked the art committee to help her record an audio.
In the evening, Gu Xi opened the chat software and clicked on the message box with [AAA].
As a result, before Gu Xi could speak, he had already sent a file package to him.
[AAA]: I roughly made a preliminary program framework, you can demonstrate it again to see if it has the effect you want.
This afternoon, Sheng Xiuyan didn't go to the classroom, he just went to get this.
However, everyone seems to have formed a habit of not coming to class for cultivating spirits, and they don't think it's wrong at all.
And at this time, looking at the compressed package sent by the other party, Gu Xi was very surprised: Her audio file has not been sent yet, and the other party has already made a prototype
In the compressed package, in addition to the program that was written, [AAA] also prepared the software needed for analog playback.
Gu Xi loaded his own piece of audio, and the operation ran. Soon after the music sounded, light and shadow effects appeared on the screen.
Looking at the effect on the computer screen, Gu Xi was surprised.
- Originally, she was still a little nervous, worried that the effect of [AAA] would not match the music, but she never imagined that the fit would be so high after the two were put together.
Exactly as Gu Xi imagined!
【AAA】: How is it
When he asked this sentence, Sheng Xiuyan was still a little nervous.
【X】: Awesome!
[AAA]: It's good if you think it's good. This is just a preliminary step. I will continue to improve it later, and add the program of holographic projection.
Gu Xi replied with a "good" word to the other party, but she was planning in her heart that she must repay the other party well when they met.
—
For more than half a week, Gu Xi began to enter a state of intense practice.
Gu Xi's attitude in practicing the piano is no less than the concentration and sincerity in learning.
And the speed of Gu Xi's progress really surprised the people next to him.
"Gu Xi, your progress is really fast. It's no exaggeration to say that if you practice hard for two years, you can take the professional exam." The art committee looked at Gu Xi and said with an expression of amazement.
Although it was because Gu Xi had a low start and there was a lot of room for improvement, the speed was scary enough.
Dong Mingming on the side also nodded in approval, looked at Gu Xi, and suddenly asked with a serious face: "Gu Xi: Tell me honestly, are you a thousand-year-old big man who failed to survive the calamity and crossed over?"
Hearing Dong Mingming's words, Gu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glanced at the other party: "What have you been looking at recently..."
"It's nothing, it's just like "The Best Demon King Selling Pills in the Interstellar", "I Rely on My Expertise to Go to Tsinghua University" and so on..." After that, Dong Mingming pulled Gu Xi excitedly and asked, "Do you want to watch it?" , I'll share it with you, it's super nice."
Gu Xi: "I'd better read all the math textbooks."
However, Dong Mingming's words reminded Gu Xi of the novel in his dream, the novel that hung in Gu Xi's mind like a nightmare.
After arriving at Gu Shao's side, Gu Xi found that the influence of the novel on her seemed to be diminishing little by little.
It's been a long time since she'd had that nightmare again at night.
However, Gu Xi did not dare to take it lightly when she thought of the ending of their family at the end of the novel.
Aside, Dong Mingming didn't know what Gu Xi was thinking at the moment. Seeing her serious face, she thought it was because of nervousness.
Dong Mingming took Gu Xi's hand, shook it, and asked with concern, "Gu Xi, are you nervous because you have a rehearsal tomorrow?"
"A little bit." Gu Xi said truthfully.
This should be the first time that Gu Xi has performed an art performance, and even the exam has never been so nervous.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just play normally." Dong Mingming patted Gu Xi and said, paused, and then deliberately said: "It's really not good, isn't there Gu Chenyi?"
Dong Mingming's 'reminder' successfully amused Gu Xi, and even the tension subsided a lot.
—
The next day, Gu Xi's rehearsal was held after the second class in the afternoon, before the class rehearsal.
At this time, there was no one in the venue.
Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in front of the piano.
Hearing the rehearsal teacher calling start, Gu Xi nodded and started her performance.
The song ended successfully.
There was no mistake, and it was fairly proficient.
Gu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but did not know that the art committee members and Gu Yanxiao were already surprised.
-Gu Xi has made great progress. Although Gu Xi's song can't be said to be amazing, it's not a problem at all, and I don't know how much better it was compared to when she first practiced.

Soon, the photo of Gu Xi's rehearsal was posted on the forum by a classmate at the scene: [The latest news is here, the Xishen Art Festival is performing piano! 】
After the 'student representative' vote, Gu Xi was not only a scholar in everyone's eyes, but also a school flower in disguise.
For a time, Gu Xi had many more 'little fans' in the forum.
Seeing the photo of Gu Xi's rehearsal, someone immediately lined up to blow rainbow farts.
The first one is Gu Chenyi: [Xixi is the most beautiful! 】
Almost at the same time, Gu Yanxiao also posted: [Beautiful! 】
Then, another account with the name 'Wang Nini' posted a message [Xi Xi is the most beautiful, most beautiful, cute and smart, the best Xi Xi in the world... 100 words are omitted below, and no refutation will be accepted. 】
According to Gu Chenyi, this is a vest number that Gu Yanlin asked his younger brother to get.
…
After that, there are many people who agree:
[I cherish God's appearance that he can really fight. 】
【Love love. 】
【Are you performing piano performance? expect. 】
【support. 】
…
At the same time, several people in the activity room of the Ministry of Literature and Art were also browsing the forum.
Seeing that Gu Xueer didn't speak, but her face was not very good, a friend on the side advised him: "Gu Xi can win the vote this time, and it is entirely due to Gu Yanxiao and the others canvassing votes there, otherwise it is impossible to surpass you at all."
Unbelievable is that someone like Sheng Xiuyan who likes to ignore the things around him would actually help Gu Xi to canvass votes.
"She said it was no different from cheating..."
"That's right," an elementary school girl who came over also said in agreement, "Also, Sister Gu, I was there at the rehearsal just now. I watched it, and Gu Xi looked okay in the photos. The scene is really ordinary."
"If you don't believe me, watch it, I also recorded a paragraph." The man said, and took out his phone.
In the video, there is a piano on the huge stage. After Gu Xi came on stage, he bowed and started to play. The repertoire played is very ordinary. It can even be said that if there is no key change in the back, this piano song is simply ordinary. primary.
Then one song is over, and nothing else.
The eyes of the few people who came to look at it widened.
"That's it?"
"That's it? It's too watery."
"Tsk tsk, it's okay to put such a performance in the middle, but it's too monotonous to put it at the end."
"That is to say," the primary school girl who put the video echoed: "No, no, I can't watch those who blow rainbow farts. I want to put this video up too."
It's just like venting your anger for the senior.
The elementary school girl thought to herself.
Before she could do it, Gu Xueer stopped her.
"Don't post it, no matter what, Gu Xi has prepared carefully and should be encouraged."
Gu Xueer's words successfully stopped the elementary school girl's actions, and it also made the people around her unable to help but sigh with emotion: Gu Xuejie is really good.
—
In the forum, although the elementary school girl didn't put the video on it, she still couldn't help but question in the forum: "It's too monotonous just for the piano. 】
Soon there was an echoing voice:
[I also feel that the piano solo is a bit monotonous. 】
[Looking at the photos, I feel that the stage is a bit empty. 】
[Such a performance is ok in the opening, but will the closing be a little less interesting? 】
…
Looking at the occasional voice of doubt in the forum, Dong Mingming became worried.
Seeing Dong Mingming's worried face, Gu Xi pulled her and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm sure about the stage!"
Gu Xi spoke mysteriously, but her tone was full of confidence.

On the other side, in the office of the NTN president.
Xu Fei put a stack of documents in front of Gu Shao: "President, these are some activities and meeting arrangements for next week."
Gu Shao quickly flipped through the documents, and finally took out all of Friday's.
"The arrangements on Friday have been pushed back or cancelled," Gu Shao said.
Hearing this, Xu Fei was taken aback and asked, "President, did you have anything to do on Friday?"
Gu Shao nodded: "If it's an important meeting, change the time to Monday, or work overtime on Saturday. I'm not free on Friday."
"Okay." Xu Fei responded, although he didn't dare to ask more, he was a little curious about what happened to the president.
After all, someone like their CEO who works or is on the road almost every day for 356 days has almost never had a situation where they directly set aside one day.
Yes, it was the days when I took Gu Xi to the Hukou transfer school.
After Xu Fei exited with doubts, Gu Shao made another call to the school.
On the phone, I heard that NTN was going to sponsor a batch of stage equipment for the stage of the art festival in the High School Affiliated to University A. Principal Chen on the other end was overjoyed.
It would be a great honor for NTN to sponsor their equipment. What's more, what comes out of NTN is either the most advanced or the best.
"The equipment includes cameras, projection screens, large screens, lights, colored lights, fog... It will be in place before this Wednesday afternoon, and we will arrange for professional technicians to debug and operate it."
"That's great! Thank you so much, Professor Gu." Principal Chen's voice was still full of excitement.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shao ordered the matter.
Seeing the work task list, Xu Fei finally knew why his president was unavailable on Friday.
"I'll arrange it right away." Xu Fei said.
"En." Gu Shao replied, and before Xu Fei left, he stopped him again and asked casually, "Do you think it's better to wear a suit when you go to school, or something more casual?"
