The movie "Forrest Gump" said that life is like chocolate. If you don't open it, you will never know what the next one looks like or tastes like.
In Cheng Ran's opinion, when this sentence is applied to himself, it becomes that life is like walking on a minefield. You never know which mine you will step on next and how you will be blown into a burnt outside and tender inside.
When Cheng Ran saw the woman named Qin Xizhen standing in front of the stage, he was stunned for a moment, and he felt that she must have recognized him.
In fact, Cheng Ran's words "good legs" to Qin Xizhen at that time were pure praise, just like when watching a dance, one would say "good figure", "so beautiful", "so gorgeous", without any other metaphors in it... However, Cheng Ran felt that she would definitely not listen to his explanation.
But in fact, Qin Xizhen's pause still attracted people's attention.
People looked and saw Yang Xia in the third row. Since Cheng Ran was behind Yang Xia, people naturally thought that Qin Xizhen saw Yang Xia.
He probably felt relieved in his heart. Girls like Yang Xia were beautiful and elegant. As the saying goes, heroes appreciate heroes. People with outstanding looks and beautiful looks always seem to find similar people in the crowd.
Yang Xia's face turned a little red, but she felt a little happy in her heart, because Qin Xizhen was very beautiful and being appreciated by the teacher was also a kind of recognition of herself and was something worth being happy about.
After a brief pause, Qin Xizhen said, "First of all, I want to tell you that many people think that music class is just a class for rest or for doing homework... After all, the college entrance examination is your ultimate goal. However, I hope that everyone can have a new understanding of music through my teaching."
"Music, like words and language, is a carrier of human emotions and expressions. Language has boundaries, but music has no borders. Our No. 1 High School has a channel to connect with music majors in foreign universities. At the same time, there are direct admission quotas for art students. If you are determined to develop in this direction, I believe that as long as you take music seriously, it will not let you down. As for others, you can use this to improve your appreciation ability. Personal cultivation will follow you throughout your life..."
If someone had said these great truths to students in the past, they would definitely not take them seriously. Now, facing Qin Xizhen's words, many people actually felt that they were very useful and reasonable! Speaking of using music class to do homework and play, many people immediately shook their heads and wanted to express their feelings immediately. They would never do such a thing that would hurt the teacher's heart...
"Then let's start with the first lesson, 'What can music tell us'..."
“Melody is the soul, rhythm is the skeleton, harmony is the body…”
"In summary, we need to master the structure of a piece of music, as well as the emotions it conveys and makes you feel. Please enjoy a few songs first..." Qin Xizhen came to the tape recorder on the storage table to the left of the blackboard, inserted the tape he brought into it, and pressed the play button.
Many people simply feel that listening to her speak and move is a pleasure. Her every frown and smile is full of elegance, especially the moment when she stretched out her finger and pressed the play button. The sunlight shone on her, which was very quiet and beautiful.
Some people even thought, what would it be like if this hand really played a piece of piano in front of them? Would it be unforgettable? But they would see it soon. There was a piano in the art lecture hall, and Qin Xizhen's class would also be held there. Then they would probably be able to enjoy the feast for their ears and eyes.
Qin Xizhen first played a piece of music, "To Alice".
After the music was over, she looked around the audience and asked, "What kind of emotions does this piece of music give you?"
Before he could finish his words, someone shouted, "Quiet!"
"'Tranquility' is good, what else?"
"Far-reaching! Melodious! Beautiful!"
"Sadness!" Suddenly a unique voice sounded.
People looked over and saw Zhang Feng, who was known as the class flower and monitor, speaking with a sad face.
At that time, countless students were secretly going crazy. You can hear sadness in "To Alice". Are you deliberately taking a different approach to attract Qin Xizhen's attention? You look handsome, but you are so cunning!
As expected, Qin Xizhen would probably say "Huh", then ask him to explain why he could sound sad. Zhang Feng must have already thought of an excuse.
Qin Xizhen nodded, "'Sadness' is right. This piece of music by Beethoven is dedicated to a female student named Therese. It is actually a pursuit of love and a beautiful vision. But often the most beautiful things always disappear in the blink of an eye, just like some people will cry when they see the beauty of fireworks appearing and fading away, and Lin Daiyu will feel sad when she sees the flowers falling. What music can tell you is its story. There are also things that music cannot tell you, that is, the associations and feelings that are inspired after you listen to the music. This is diversified and varies from person to person. It inspires your personal imagination. The charm of music lies in this."
Zhang Feng didn't even utter a word, as Qin Xizhen answered all the answers he had prepared, and the answers were more extensive and better than what he had thought of on the spur of the moment.
It's like facing a master of swordsmanship in a martial arts novel. She can guess all your intentions with every move you make, and before you make a move, she can block every sword move of yours.
Zhang Feng was disappointed.
Qin Xizhen suddenly pointed his chin in the air and said, "Student, please stand up and tell us what you think."
Um
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction and saw Cheng Ran staring at Qin Xizhen with a calm expression.
He didn't raise his hand...
Cheng Ran knew that what was coming seemed inevitable, so he stood up under the gaze of everyone, "This work is perfect in form and impressive, with a high degree of balance between content and form. It has no artificiality, but is a natural masterpiece. It has been widely circulated and has remained fresh over time, and even subtly inspired the direction and form of future music..."
People stared in amazement as Cheng Ran blurted out such a long string of remarks.
You are the one hiding the deepest. Yang Xia turned her head, Liu Ying turned her head, even Yao Beibei turned her head, and then someone started to applaud first, and then there was a loud applause.
This is an irrefutable parallelism. Cheng Ran has great eloquence and ideological awareness... How come we can't see it at other times
Needless to say, Qin Xizhen must have been impressed by him.
Just when people thought they had anticipated the result, Qin Xizhen shook his head and said, "This feeling is too formalistic, more like the words that music critics use in a boastful and general way. Compared with them, the words that were just said to be peaceful, beautiful, and sad are more heartfelt. Sit down, don't be so formalistic in the future, think more about it, and respect your inner feelings."
In the silence of the class, Cheng Ran sat down with a confused look on his face.
What's wrong with this woman...
It was precisely because he thought that he might have caused her misunderstanding and unhappiness before, so when Cheng Ran was called up, he responded to her with a serious attitude towards music discussion, which more or less made him realize that he was not a random person...
As a result, the Beatles criticized...
Patience is noble, restraint is superior.
I can bear it.
Amid the gloating gazes of many people, Cheng Ran shut his mouth.
Qin Xizhen played another piece of music, "The Changing Wind" by Xian Qiwei.
"What can you hear from this song... Can anyone tell me..."
Many people have already raised their hands. They are not afraid of being scolded by her, they are eager to say a few more words, because her voice is always pleasant to the ears, and those who major in music and study art are different, and every move is flowing like a spring breeze.
"Student, please answer this question again..."
Swish, swish, swish! Everyone looked at Cheng Ran again.
Cheng Ran stood up, "I want to cry. I want to cry when I listen to this song. This is my feeling."
Qin Xizhen frowned, "This piece of music presents a fresh and natural atmosphere. In the piece, you can hear the whistling wind and the pan flute interweaving, which is very ethereal and romantic. Isn't it too casual for you to say you want to cry? Sit down. I don't want to copy the answers of previous classmates, but what you can experience and associate with... Think about it again."
You said I was formalistic when I wrote so many articles. Now I am being simple and clear, and you say I am not sincere enough!
Do you have any idea? I just said "good legs" to you and you still hold a grudge against me
Qin Xizhen played another song "Girl's Prayer".
"This is a famous piece by Dekora Badaczewska, a Polish female composer who had no professional training. She created it at the age of 18 and it is comparable to Beethoven's Für Elise. Now, can you tell me what this piece of music tells you?"
Countless people raised their hands, even those in the first row raised their hands in front of Qin Xizhen.
Cheng Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The row of hands in front of him, like a forest of guns, especially the student in front who raised his hand with half his body propped up, blocked Qin Xizhen's view.
Then, they saw Qin Xizhen reach out his hand and touch the hand of the boy in the first row. Everyone almost screamed "Oh!", and the boy only felt a huge sense of happiness rushing over him.
Qin Xizhen put his hand on his wrist and then pushed his hand away.
Opened...
After the mask was pushed aside, Cheng Ran appeared among the people.
Then Qin Xizhen pointed at him and said, "Let's go to this classmate and see if you have made any progress..."
At that moment, Cheng Ran felt the corners of his mouth twitching.
Life is already so difficult.
Please don't go too far, sir...
(Thank you, leader of Lai Santou~)
