"I watched the singing and playing that day."
Qin Xizhen put down the water cup, turned around, and wore a blue hairband on her head, which made Cheng Ran feel dazed. It seemed that this was not a teacher's office, but rather like he had entered college. He still remembered that there was a girl who was the vice president of the student union and talked to him like this back then, talking about the affairs of the student union in a friendly voice.
"First of all, I want to commend you for your courage to stand up in front of the public. This is actually a very important step. In this process, some people will say that you are showing off in public just to be in the spotlight... Just laugh it off. The words of mediocre people are always insignificant. Music is an art of expression, just like poetry recitation and speech. It is a carrier that conveys to people's hearts. It is a tool to communicate with the world."
"You did a great job on this point," Qin Xizhen paused, "Of course, it could also be that... you are naturally thick-skinned."
What's going on here? You're so thick-skinned now? Can you praise someone to the end in one breath
Seeing Cheng Ran's eyes widen, Qin Xizhen seemed very satisfied and smiled, "Of course, being thick-skinned is not a bad thing. I have met many people like you. Some people don't know where their talents lie. If you can use them well, this can become your greatest ability."
"Teacher Qin, you are making things worse. So my talent is that I am thick-skinned?"
Qin Xizhen smiled slightly, "Your talent lies in expressiveness. Maybe you don't understand what musical expressiveness is, just like praising some stars for their stage presence, that is a kind of expressiveness. Just like a soprano singer, in the theater, he can attract everyone as soon as he opens his mouth."
"The song 'Story of Time' that you sang at that time, it couldn't be your own creation, the lyrics are very beautiful."
Cheng Ran was slightly surprised. "You even heard the name... You have to pay copyright fees. If you want to know the source... That's a song written by my cousin."
"I have professional ethics. Are you worried that I will use it without your consent?" Qin Xizhen said calmly, "As your teacher, I would never do such a thing as a role model."
"I think you are very unique and may be able to go further in music. I can give you special guidance to help you develop your talent in this area... My teacher is Professor Le Pinghong, vice chairman of the Provincial Musicians Association. If you are interested in this, I believe he will be happy to give you a direct admission to the Art Academy through my recommendation."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I'm not interested. I love music, but I'd better focus on my studies."
Qin Xizhen didn't expect Cheng Ran to reject him so straightforwardly. After a moment's pause, he said, "Don't you want to think about it again? Principal Ma once mentioned that he wanted to link the school's performances in the field of art with important domestic competitions in his future work expectations. This means that there will be performances representing the school and opportunities to communicate with many schools. If you can win a few awards in high school, it will be very helpful for you to enter top universities at home and abroad."
Is this a plan to cultivate yourself
Cheng Ran knew that this was because of the stir caused by that song.
But he still shook his head.
Some of the eagerness in Qin Xizhen's eyes turned into doubt and confusion.
As expected, the new teacher is young and energetic, and can't wait to train top students in the arts. However, Cheng Ran felt that he could see the potential of a reborn person at first sight... He has vision and taste. It's a pity that he is not interested.
Qin Xizhen thought for a moment and said, "It may be a bit too much to ask you to make a decision at the beginning. Sometimes, you may not even realize your potential and true hobbies and interests... How about this, you don't have to rush to answer me. If you change your mind at any time in these three years, you can come to me. Think about it carefully and try not to waste your talent."
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it, then I'll leave first."
"Yeah." Qin Xizhen nodded. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had to go to class, Cheng Ran would have been happy to look at her a few more times.
Cheng Ran was walking to the door when he heard footsteps. Two groups of people appeared at the door, some men and some women. One of them had long hair and a white ribbon tied on his head. He knocked on the door and walked in. "Teacher Qin, we want to ask, can we really form a band? If we can really do something with this, can we really go straight to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music or the music department of Sichuan University in the future?"
Qin Xizhen's voice came again, "Of course you can, as long as you work hard enough... You are very talented, I am very happy that you have such ambition..."
Cheng Ran staggered when he reached the door, and turned back to look at the beautiful smiling face that made these boys infatuated.
You are really casting a wide net to catch as many fish as possible!
Maybe they want to train more art students to create achievements for themselves. This is a very smart plan...
After the small misunderstanding of calling her "nice legs", she was able to use herself as a joke without interrupting her lecture.
Now, I was called to his office and gave a speech that seemed to show my confidence in myself. I almost impressed him, but it turned out to be just like pulling a random person on the street and saying, "You have a great talent. Come and learn how to cook from me."
What's this Qin Xizhen's way of doing things
…
The new music teacher Qin Xizhen to a great extent disturbed the memories of this period of the entire first grade.
Even many years later, when the students of No. 1 High School recall the feeling she brought to them at that time, it must be amazing. She was as gentle as water and existed in their world.
Qin Xizhen always seems to be an intellectual and obedient girl. When she talks about theory, she is in a regular classroom. When she talks about European folk music, Bach, the peak of religious polyphonic music, and the fusion of tango music culture in the Andes Plateau, she sometimes sighs, "Maybe one day, I also hope to travel to the local area, walk around, and experience the intersection of tango music and various modern classical music..."
When she talks about music, everyone feels happy. She can convey people's love and interest through empathy. This is a good teacher. When she talks about traveling, everyone wants to volunteer to go with her. Some boys in the class will privately say, "I will make a lot of money in the future. A man is strong only when he has enough money... When I am strong enough, will the distance between me and Qin Xizhen still be called distance?"
She would play the piano in the music classroom during her classes, and some people would sing along, sometimes the whole class would sing together, and it was a joyous occasion. When there was singing in high school, it seemed that even the pace of life was much lighter.
After the music class on Thursday afternoon, the last class was physics. After class, Chen Ruoting, the music class representative, came hurriedly, clasped her hands together, and looked pitiful. "Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran, can you help me take the zhongruan from the teacher's office to the music classroom and return it? Teacher Qin told me today, but I forgot just now. My mom picked me up and she's busy going to dance class. Can you help me take it there?"
Cheng Ran had a good impression of Chen Ruoting and nodded. Chen Ruoting nodded in surprise, "You are so nice!"
Cheng Ran went to the office where the head teacher, Tan Qingchuan, was. When he heard Cheng Ran getting something for the teacher, he just hummed and said nothing. Cheng Ran took the zhongruan, which is a kind of ancient pipa. It looks very ancient. It was used by Qin Xizhen as a teaching aid. He took the instrument and went out, holding the pipa, he went down the Tian Jiabing Teaching Building and walked towards the multimedia building where the music classroom was next door.
As soon as I walked up to the third floor, I heard the sound of piano coming from the music classroom.
It was a piano piece with a low, dark, yet broad melody. The music flowed out sonorously, as if people could see the black ocean. Although the sunset over the ocean was bright, its brilliance was blocked by countless dark clouds. There were church bells on the shore and crows flying by in groups. It was an indescribable black, but it was also full of light and hope. In the end, victory was achieved amid scars, but there was no triumphant song, just calm.
Cheng Ran leaned against the wall and listened for a while. This was music that Qin Xizhen had never played in front of students. This kind of music might not be suitable for students. Students are only suitable for music that is surging, or melodious, light and beautiful, not such dark and scarred music.
The music stops.
Cheng Ran felt that it was time to go in. Just as he turned the door and walked in, he suddenly heard a voice saying, "Ahh... so annoying..."
Cheng Ran was stunned. Qin Xizhen, wearing a black dress, was sitting in front of the piano in the music classroom with her back to him. She was rubbing her black hair with her hands, her head buried between her elbows, and her hair was messy.
"Never mind!" Qin Xizhen, who was carrying him on his back, sat up straight again and moved his hands rhythmically on the piano.
Only this time it wasn't some long piece of music, but a song with an extremely catchy melody!
This is a song that has long been known to everyone at this time. It is from the Italian group Gelato. The song "Penguins'game" is also known as the "Bunny Dance" in China. Even children can sing it at this time. It is also a must-have song for square dancing in the streets and alleys.
When this song started, she actually...
Singing...
“Left_Left_Right_Right (left, left, right, Go_Turn_Around (forward). GoGoGo (forward, forward, forward). LeftRight (left…right…)”
Her hands moved rapidly on the piano, and the sound became lighter and lighter.
But it is really embarrassing to hear such a song hummed by a melodious voice...
"Jumping Grooving Daning Everybody (Let's jump every body)
RoolingMovingSingingNightDay… (RoolingMovingSingingNightDay…)”
"Lets Fun Fun Together (Let's have fun together)
Roking Bumping Sreaming All Night Long (Let's rock, bump, and scream all night long)"
His hands rose and fell on the piano keys, his head swayed in his ecstasy singing, his messy black hair swaying back and forth like a willow tree that scare away ghosts at night. He looked like a madman.
Cheng Ran was stunned.
Accompanied by her final high octave ending.
The music stopped abruptly.
Then Qin Xizhen probably thought about how she had looked just now, and started to giggle to herself. The more she laughed, the more she couldn't control it. Her slender hands kept clapping on the piano boards, and finally she stood up, holding her stomach.
Turn around.
What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.
After a moment, Cheng Ran said to the woman who was holding her belly and had her hair loose like Sadako.
"Will I... be silenced?"
