Chapter 86: Beethoven in the Imperial Capital
Chapter 86
So they were there for Qin Wei.
Lin Qiqi was so angry that she almost lost control of her emotions, fortunately she held back.
"Did you go buy breakfast?"
Hearing Lin Qiqi ask her, Qin Wei nodded:
"Went for a run, and bought it along the way."
Lin Qiqi said:
"You\'re pretty self-disciplined!"
"Not really,"
Qin Wei confessed,
"I ate too much hot pot last night, didn\'t digest it well, was afraid it would affect my appetite today, so I went out to run early to burn some of it off."
Barrage——
【Good stuff, qualified foodie】
...
After the other roommates had gotten up, Qin Wei went to wash up. Everyone ate breakfast and took the car to the building, reluctantly handing over their phones before entering the practice room.
Entering Class F\'s practice room, Li Mai was already waiting here. After everyone was seated, he greeted them, then said:
"My vocal class is from 9:30 to 10 o\'clock. Given that all of your vocal foundations are relatively weak, after I teach you all one complete song, I\'ll have our assistant teacher correct your pitches.
The teacher is a professional vocal teacher from the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music, I hope she can help you all."
Li Mai sat at the piano and began the accompaniment, having everyone sing along.
Li Mai led them in singing it once more, and for some important parts he gave them special demonstrations, explanations and analysis, but the effect was still mediocre.
Li Mai looked at Lin Qiqi:
"Qiqi, give everyone a demonstration on your own."
After Lin Qiqi sang it through once on her own, Li Mai had Sun Tiantian sing.
Having said she "wasn\'t ready" yesterday, she couldn\'t make excuses today. Sun Tiantian looked at the score and sang a short section.
After that, two or three more people were randomly called to sing.
After they finished, Li Mai didn\'t comment, he just said "wait a moment", then left.
Going back and watching the playbacks of other classes last night, Class A had learned it after being taught twice, and the other classes had all basically learned to sing it passably by now, only their class, they could only sing with their throats, couldn\'t remember the lyrics well either, and couldn\'t even get the most basic pitch right.
A whole class at karaoke level, only Sun Tiantian\'s pitch was good enough, and her rhythm.
But for some reason, she lacked breath support, so the songs she sang came out soft and weak without energy.
Without needing to have each one of them sing for him to listen to, just spot checking was already heartbreaking for him.
If your music foundations aren\'t there, it\'s like you\'re from a completely different world...
Li Mai could only send out a distress signal to the assistant teacher.
The students in the classroom still didn\'t know what was going on, so they were whispering to each other:
"What\'s going on? Could it be we didn\'t sing well..."
"How could that be... Sister Qiqi sang really well!"
Wang Yuewen said, and then swore steadfastly,
"I graduated from a music conservatory, I know what I\'m talking about."
A few minutes later, a young female teacher walked in, with Li Mai following behind, and he introduced her to everyone:
"This is Teacher Yang from the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music, she\'s responsible for correcting your pitches. This morning\'s vocal class will be taught by Teacher Yang to reinforce everyone\'s foundations."
After the handoff was complete, Li Mai left. He planned to discuss with the production team, with his abilities he should be teaching more outstanding students.
Teacher Yang sat at the piano and said to everyone:
"I know everyone here is an outstanding actor, but skills require specialized focus. I\'m confident in my expertise in music, so I hope everyone will trust me."
After saying this, she played a short section of the song "Sailing Afar" they were learning, singing along as she played, then called on Sun Tiantian to sing again.
Sun Tiantian hit every note accurately, so Teacher Yang continued calling on the next person.
Then when it was Lin Qiqi\'s turn to finish singing, Teacher Yang stopped.
Having been exhorted by the production team beforehand not to rashly criticize anyone, she held herself back from commenting, and just said to Lin Qiqi in a very gracious manner:
"Next I\'ll play a few notes, sing along with me, and we\'ll correct your pitches."
As she spoke, Teacher Yang played and sang:
"doremifasollasi..."
Lin Qiqi sang along once.
Teacher Yang corrected her several times before she barely scraped by.
She\'d thought the teacher would let her off, but unexpectedly the teacher continued:
"I\'ll give you a pitch standard, then you sing the pitch you hear."
Sun Tiantian and Wang Yuewen were familiar with this, it felt like pitch training was about to start.
Teacher Yang played a note, and Lin Qiqi was confused.
Sun Tiantian silently held up two fingers, then withdrew her hand.
"Re"
Lin Qiqi sang out tentatively.
"Very good."
Teacher Yang said, then played another note.
Sun Tiantian stretched her hand out again, but Teacher Yang suddenly looked up, frightening Sun Tiantian into quickly withdrawing her hand. She pulled back in such a hurry that her elbow knocked into the back of the chair, hurting so much that she didn\'t dare cry out, forcing herself to bear it, and her expression became unmanageable.
Pffft hahahaha——
Qin Wei had been watching the whole thing, and couldn\'t help laughing out loud.
Teacher Yang frowned at Qin Wei, she recognized this celebrity at a glance. The one rumored to have cheated, while Teacher Yang\'s favorite celebrity was Shen Kai, so seeing Qin Wei already displeased her to begin with.
And Qin Wei\'s attitude was so undisciplined!
"Miss Qin."
Teacher Yang pushed up her gold wire-rimmed glasses, thinking that today she would definitely embarrass her publicly, then when it aired she could record it and watch it over and over again.
"What are you laughing at? Does Miss Lin\'s performance bother you?"
Qin Wei restrained her laughter:
"It was great."
"Since it was so great, then why were you laughing? Do you doubt Miss Lin\'s professionalism?"
"No."
Qin Wei shook her head.
"To me, she\'s the Beethoven of the imperial capital."
Beethoven? The great composer.
Lin Qiqi felt less angry now, it seemed Qin Wei was also learning to say nice things!
Teacher Yang was silent for a moment, mentally rolling her eyes at Qin Wei, then said to her:
"Miss Qin, since you\'ve already stood up, don\'t sit down yet, it\'s your turn now."
When it aired, netizens were still joking:
【Will water pouring expert Sun Tiantian also help Qin Wei cheat?】
【That depends on how numb Sun Tiantian\'s funny bone got from the impact】
【Hahahaha don\'t blame Sister Qin for laughing, I couldn\'t help bursting into laughter just now seeing it, Sun Tiantian\'s expression, someone will definitely make a meme of it later!】
【[Sweet\'s Agony.jpg]】
【Hahahaha xswl】
【Sister Qin\'s going to have bad luck next】
【As long as Goose doesn\'t get embarrassed, I\'ll take the embarrassment, what do I do? The fear of a teacher asking questions you can\'t answer has already started controlling me!】
【Second watchers here to spoil for you, worth investing!】
【First watchers want to see Sister Qin\'s awkward performance!】
As usual, Teacher Yang gave the pitch standard, then pressed a key, looking up sternly at Qin Wei.
