At this time, Commissioner Peng's secretary also carefully took out the box of Commissioner Peng's special musical instrument, which was also Zuo Xianyue's euphonium.
"Are you the last one?" Commissioner Peng said while Qingli was playing.
"Yeah." Xia Yu's eyes were still as indifferent as if she was looking down on all the results. She said, "Yes, if I win, everyone can go to Japan."
"Of course." Commissioner Peng said.
After receiving Commissioner Peng's affirmation, Xia Yu felt calmer.
After Qingli played, Commissioner Peng continued.
I don't know when voices suddenly came from the team questioning Xia Yu.
"Oops, Xia Yu can't go to Japan, and she won't let us go!"
"She is different from us. She was forced to join..."
"Piranhas have never been good people from the beginning."
"She will definitely let Commissioner Peng off the hook."
"Even if she tries her best, she may not be Commissioner Peng's opponent."
Xia Yu felt very disappointed when she heard everyone's unanimous opposition to her: It turns out that you have never really regarded me as a companion... Haha, if that's the case, then...
While Commissioner Peng was playing, suddenly blood welled up in his heart. He patiently kept playing. Zhou Guodong, Xia Yu, Qiu Wensheng, and Lin Xuerou saw that his expression was getting worse and worse.
"No, Commissioner Peng's old problem has recurred!" Zhou Guodong said: "He uses the Eastern European playing method... He will use appropriate drum gills to increase the resonance effect of the resonant cavity. This playing method is the early New China When it was founded, it was introduced from Russia. However...Asian bones and mouth, plus Commissioner Peng's own thin body, were not suitable for excessive cheek-bumping performances. Now, his old problem of improper practice And spell it out all at once.
"Stop, stop blowing!" Zhou Guodong shouted.
But seeing that Commissioner Peng still refused to stop, his firm eyes seemed to be controlled by the music and he had lost his mind.
What on earth is this guy doing?
Xia Yu was also surprised when he saw this.
He recalled that when he first participated in the rehearsal of the silver band, he also learned how to play cheek drums, and even relied heavily on this method of playing to easily achieve the ideal tone. In fact, this method is both effective for tuba and euphonium. very common.
But when he first participated in the team's solo selection for Euphonium's "Warm Poems", even though his performance was almost perfect, he was immediately rejected by Schubert, who was also the coach of Unicorn at the time. Instead, he chose a junior whose voice was not good.
Afterwards, she asked Schubert unconvinced.
"Why don't you let me be a soloist! I obviously performed so well!"
"Because you have bulging cheeks." Schubert said indifferently: "I will not consider hiring you until you no longer bulge your cheeks. If you want to know anything, if you want to adjust better and faster, come here Take my personal training class."
But at that time, there were still many people with euphonium cheeks, but Xia Yu was the only one who seemed to be targeted by the story.
"Why, everyone can do it, why can't I! It turns out that it's just because I didn't pay for your extra personal training class!"
At that time, Xia Yu knew that Schubert would not take the initiative to teach too many in-depth techniques in order to be fair to those who took private lessons, so she did not ask further questions and just watched Schubert leave coldly.
This is understandable. It is common in dance, fitness, art, writing, and almost most group interest classes. Although group classes are just an experience and a slow progress process, the essence is in private training, and targeted training can of course only exist in private training.
However, Xia Yu was dissatisfied and left the band after completing her mandatory service in the Silver Band. Although she later returned to serve in the Silver Band intermittently, she never let go of the knot she felt at that time.
Xia Yu now looks at Commissioner Peng as if she were looking at herself back then.
However, when Commissioner Peng was young, no one reminded him, and he had done his best under the guidance of unprofessional teachers... Even though these efforts cost him too much.
"That's enough, Commissioner Peng." Xia Yu said coldly: "People like you who have become bad teachers can't turn back. If you continue like this, you will only hurt yourself."
"Don't you understand?" Xuerou said, "Because Commissioner Peng really likes music! Even if he knows that the way to practice is wrong, without better guidance, he can only aimlessly Charge forward."
Yes,
Xia Yu... didn't understand.
She didn't understand why Commissioner Peng was so persistent.
She didn't understand why everyone was so obsessed with Silver Band.
She didn't even know that after the National Day competition, she no longer had the burden and no longer had to serve in the silver band, but her heart would be so empty...
She has been looking for something, something that can fill the hole in her life.
She tried sex, tried love, even power, fought, got tattoos, even smoked, smoked, but nothing could fill the hole in her heart.
Although Commissioner Peng was in pain, he finished his performance happily and dripping with joy. Then he vomited a mouthful of old blood and slumped on the ground with satisfaction, leaning against the podium.
Xia Yu did not pick up the answer, but laughed coldly at Commissioner Peng: "You are such an idiot! You have become a bad teacher and there is no hope."
"So what." Commissioner Peng said: "When I was young, my teacher told me that I was born to play the euphonium. But his biggest regret was that he did not play the euphonium at that time. He didn't know that I had become a bad teacher, and he had regretted it for a long time. To be honest, if someone had stopped me in time, I would be... cough! cough! "
"Idiot." Xia Yu sneered again, this time shouting louder. People around him, including Principal Zhu and Principal Qiu who were watching, heard it.
While they were waiting on Commissioner Peng, they scolded Xia Yu: "Classmate Xia Yu, why are you so rude to our distinguished guest."
"In other words, you have given up?" Commissioner Peng said with a smile.
Xia Yu stared at him blankly, her throat rolled with difficulty, and then turned around.
"Xia Yu!"
"Xia Yu!"
"Piranha!"
She vaguely remembered that ten years ago, on her first day in the silver band, Schubert roughly inspected her skeleton and mouth to see which part she was suitable for. She seemed to have heard similar words: "He is simply a person born specifically for the euphonium."
Xia Yu turned around and saw Xuerou standing in front of her.
Although not much, Dan Xuerou once heard from her stepfather Schubert that something happened ten years ago that made him very regretful.
He once met a very talented bass trumpet player, but because of that person's understanding, she did not take the path of a professional bass trumpet player as expected.
If she had been willing to put in all her efforts, during the ten years she had been involved in the horse, the horse would not have been left behind...
That's comparable to Peng Guohua's potential at his peak.
Moreover, in his hands, he would not let her follow the same path as Peng Guohua.
At first, Xuerou thought this person was a senior who had graduated...
But later, under her observation,
She discovered it slowly. That person turned out to be Xia Yu.
"You can say that my father is very selfish. He is indeed very indifferent to those who have no talent and low understanding. But... it is precisely because you are the only person he recognizes that he would only deny it at that time. you alone."
"Stop talking to me, I'm not familiar with you." Xia Yu said coldly.
This guy, if Commissioner Peng hadn't been here,
I really want to beat her up.
Just when everyone was thinking that Xia Yu wanted to avenge her personal revenge, she ran away from the battle, but instead of leaving, she picked up her Zuo Xianyue.
At this time, Guo Dong couldn't help shouting: "Big sister! Big sister!"
Xuerou listened, smiled, and shouted, and then everyone cheered and shouted as if they were lit by fire.
Xia Yu leisurely put the trumpet to her mouth, took a shallow sip, closed her cheeks tightly, and started playing!
"This is the cheek-closing technique that I have always wanted to learn but could not learn," Commissioner Peng said.
Although the closed-cheek method is far less effective than the cheek-bulging method, in fact, it is exactly the same.
But it has the advantage that it does not harm the lungs or the body. At the appropriate time, alternating and flexibly using the two playing methods is the way for a professional bass trumpet player to protect himself in the long run without losing his skill.
The 14:00 bell rang and Xia Yu finished her performance.
With the support of Principal Zhu and Director Qiu, Commissioner Peng stood up slowly and nodded heartily.
He forcefully pulled off his button that symbolized his status as a commissioner of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and placed it in Xia Yu's palm.
"No, Commissioner Peng, you didn't lose." After Xia Yu said this, she also pulled off the button on her chest and gave it to Commissioner Peng.
Commissioner Peng looked at the delicate unicorn pattern on the button and recalled a deadly fight he had with Zhou Guodong for more than ten years.
"After more than ten years, I finally got the unicorn button." Commissioner Peng sighed.
"Lao Peng, I know. In fact, you didn't lose to me that day. You just coughed, which caused a deviation in the tone of your voice." Zhou Guodong touched his head and said.
"No," Commissioner Peng shook his head and sighed: "You don't need to comfort me. I didn't make any mistakes that day, but you, under pressure, only used 60% of your strength. You have already defeated me. Alone. Children of Wildebeest, although not many people think highly of you yet, your true selves are far more powerful than you think!"
After Commissioner Peng finished speaking to everyone, he was ready to leave. Before he left, he did not forget to tell Xia Yu: "Son, I leave it to you to realize my dream when I was young."
"But I...I am already 24 years old. It is too late. Next year, after I take the college entrance examination, I will retire. It is impossible..."
"As long as you have the will, it's never too late. Remember, your team training. Pay it forward until the end."
It starts with the eye-catching sight and ends with attention.
From the moment I saw the vision,
In order to realize this vision,
Just try your best,
Until the end of time.
Xia Yu listened and glanced at Xuerou leisurely,
She remembered a dream she had had on the night of National Day, when she had lost all hope and happiness.
She dreamed that she and everyone from Unicorn were on the stage in Jeju Island, South Korea...
Guo Dong and Xuerou analyzed: "Sister, I can't go anyway, so everyone just shouldn't go."
