After various episodes, the sun gradually moved westward and the time came to afternoon.
Some contestants who were eliminated in the first round left Duanmu Mansion with a disappointed look on their faces.
But more people stayed, ready to watch the fierce battle between the five advancers in the second round.
In the end, no one can be sure who will win the championship and win the honor of [Ancient Musician].
Although Ye Hong and Yao Ling won first place in the first round, they were not favored by others.
Because according to the experience of previous years' competitions, basically the winner of the second round has nothing to do with the first place of the first round.
Perhaps, this is metaphysics.
After a period of rest, the host came on stage again.
"Ladies and gentlemen-"
The elongated tone, coupled with the greasy face, always gives people a feeling of being flat.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm about to be roasted!"
"Hurry up, announce the start of the game immediately, or your mother Biss!"
Although a few grumpy old men couldn't help but start to roar with the hot weather, the originally sleepy atmosphere was also aroused.
The host smiled casually and began to read out the rules of the second round.
In his long words, Ye Hong accurately extracted important rules.
In general, the scoring criteria for the second round of competition are divided into five dimensions, namely timbre, pitch, melody, appeal and a new criterion this year [ancient rhyme].
What is ancient rhyme
That is, the entries must choose ancient songs instead of popular songs.
Secondly, the closer the playing technique is to the ancient method, the higher the score will be.
Ye Hong relied on his intuition to discover that this ancient rhyme standard should become a standard for everyone to distance themselves.
The judges are of course the five people in the VIP table.
They are Duanmu Chengya, the head of the Duanmu family, Cang Songlin, known as the "God of Music in Zheshui", Zhou Mulun, professor of the Music Department of Zheshui University, Lin Suomu, director of the Zheshui Ancient Music Association, and the famous lyricist Fang Zhangshan. people.
It can be said that these five people are the five people with the strongest attainments in ancient music in Zheshui Province today.
The entire square was rearranged to create a huge pergola.
Then the host notified the five groups of qualified candidates to take their places.
At this time, Ye Hong finally saw the faces of the other four groups of promotions.
In addition to Ye Hong and Yao Ling who were promoted as a combination, there was also a pair of combinations among the promotions that caught Ye Hong's attention.
I saw that they were a young man and woman. Judging from their intimate expressions, they must be lovers.
The two of them are not very old and have a bookish air. They should still be in college.
They each carry two ancient musical instruments that look like guqins on their backs. Most people may think of them as guqins, but only insiders know that they are ancient instruments similar to guqins - guzheng.
The zither has seven strings, while the guzheng has many more strings.
The guqin is calm and simple, while the guzheng is graceful and clear. Therefore, there is a saying that "the guqin is pleasing to the heart, and the guzheng is pleasing to the ear."
The debate about who is better, Guqin or Guzheng, has lasted for thousands of years.
Because of this, many people who study Guqin and Guzheng in the ancient music world look down upon each other.
But Ye Hong didn't understand this, so he felt a little confused when he felt the hostile looks from the man and woman.
In addition to these two groups, the remaining three promotions are all solo entries.
There are two women and one man, and the ancient musical instruments they use are konghou, ancient sheng and pipa.
