Chapter 126

The opening performance has the task of warming up the audience, and compared to other groups, the pressure is greater.

Yu Yu woke up from her nap feeling much more spirited than before. Upon hearing this news, she felt somewhat remorseful.

Everyone came up to reassure her that it was alright.

Qin Wei also said to her:

"Our dance is really good-looking. Being the opening act is fine, this way we\'ll leave a deep impression on everyone with our performance!"

Yu Yu looked at Qin Wei gratefully, feeling that her senior apprentice was really nice.

Sun Tiantian came in holding the song lyrics and sheet music and waved them at everyone:

"The small group performances are here, let\'s divide them up!"

...

There were two songs. One was the old song "Old Times", with a passionate and unrestrained interlude that made people think of Western waltzes and conveyed deep emotions.

The other was "You Are The Answer", which had long segments of rap.

In the end, they decided to divide into groups by floor. The five people on the first floor would sing "You Are The Answer", while the five people on the second floor would perform "Old Times".

Qin Wei didn\'t have any objections to this. She had just listened to "You Are The Answer" several times. It had a strong sense of rhythm and the lyrics were easy to remember. Although she had never done rap before, with her musical foundation she could pick it up quickly.

After dividing into groups, Chen Chen came over with Daniel to teach "Old Times", while Daniel was responsible for "You Are The Answer".

Daniel started by singing through the whole song. The few girls in the group truly felt that he sang well and applauded him enthusiastically.

He was delighted, with the corners of his mouth turning up, but still tried to keep himself from looking too undisciplined.

"I really enjoy teaching little ladies, because you\'re all so supportive."

Daniel said,

"Before we start learning, let me give you all some encouragement first. Rap is very easy to get into, so easy that if you have a mouth you can sing it, but it\'s very difficult to master, if you want to become top-tier in this industry, it\'s not easy.

But luckily the little ladies\' goal isn\'t to be top-tier, so my pressure has eased quite a bit."

After speaking, Daniel looked at Qin Wei holding the sheet music:

"Wei Wei, we\'ve worked together before, support me, sing a bit okay?"

Qin Wei readily agreed. After all, she had listened through it several times and basically remembered the rhythm.

So she stood up and sang through it while looking at the music.

Daniel: "......"

Qin Wei: "???"

Daniel pinched his brow, his vocabulary in Mandarin was too limited and he simply didn\'t know how to describe it.

"Idon\'tknowwhattosay...it\'sbeyondmyverbaldescriptionwhatIfeel..."

Qin Wei\'s rap had left Daniel at a loss for words, somewhat stunned.

Luckily under Qin Wei\'s influence the group members had started learning English, and could understand simple sentences like this without needing translation.

Sun Tiantian silently raised her hand:

"Maybe Daniel can go learn some tongue twisters..."

Qin Wei: "......"

"I think it was alright."

Was Qin Wei\'s evaluation of her own rap.

Daniel shook his head so hard it almost snapped off:

"No, no good, I don\'t think it was good."

The other four people indicated that they were on Daniel\'s side this time, because what Qin Wei sang really was quite terrible.

Daniel picked up Qin Wei\'s earphones from the table and handed them to her:

"Find a quiet place, record it, and listen to yourself."

Qin Wei: "......"

Qin Wei was truly speechless. She had listened to the original song so many times, and remembered the words and rhythm clearly, how badly could she mess it up by imitating it once?

Ten minutes later Qin Wei came back, taking off her earphones:

"So how exactly should this rap be sung???"

...

The second public performance was much more difficult than she had imagined. Neither song went smoothly for her, and even the parts she thought were simple, were not actually simple at all.

It was truly frustrating.

Daniel\'s suggestion was to grasp the beats and drum hits inside the music, the rest was just imitation and practice.

For this, Qin Wei put on earphones and slowed the song down to 0.5x speed, listening over and over, and carefully making notes on the sheet music.

During this time, the others also showed Daniel a bit. In Daniel\'s opinion, they were all at elementary school level.

But Qin Wei was different, Qin Wei was preschool junior class.

"My suggestion is the same for everyone, listen to yourself and make your own notes, beats, lyrics, breathing, then listen and practice."

Said Daniel, but he also felt everyone\'s pressure, so he encouraged them:

"There\'s still time. The rap lines are divided between each person, it\'s really just one section per person, relax, enjoy it."

...

Qin Wei really put in effort. She hadn\'t stopped since starting that afternoon, listening over and over, recording and comparing over and over. The sheet music was also covered densely with her notes.

She didn\'t stop until 6pm.

Then she went to eat dinner, without wasting a single minute.

Since the dance wouldn\'t be taught until tomorrow, after dinner Qin Wei went back. When she reached the living room door she was called to a stop by the staff.

"Teacher Qin hasn\'t livestreamed in a long time, have pity on the children in the online class!"

Qin Wei: "......"

She lingered in the living room, and the viewer count on the livestream began rising.

Live chat comments——

【Long time no see! Teacher Qin have you been well lately?】

Qin Wei nods.

【When will the "micro smile" cp show their affection? I got a membership just to see you two!】

Qin Wei looked innocent, spreading her hands helplessly.

She didn\'t know either.

【Why aren\'t you talking?】

【Right, say something!】

The screen was full of comments urging her to talk.

Qin Wei mumbled unclearly:

"Mouth hurts, tongue hurts, throat hurts too."

There were comments scolding her for being pretentious, and also comments feeling distressed for her and telling her to rest well.

The two sides promptly got into an argument in the comments.

Qin Wei sighed.

But she didn\'t feel like talking now, and she couldn\'t not maintain engagements either.

Qin Wei went to sit at the piano.

Compared to the small villa that housed fourteen people before, this villa was much bigger than Class F\'s. Tucked away in a corner of the living room was an upright piano.

Learning to play piano was a necessary part of studying music. She couldn\'t say she had mastered it, but at least she knew some.

Opening the key cover, she played Canon in C Major for everyone.

There were no flashy skills, not even intense emotion. All it had was a peaceful, soothing melody, yet it could bring people a sense of tranquility beyond time and space, allowing you to temporarily forget the clamor around you.

Live chat comments——

【A life without music would be an error. I\'m utterly convinced of this. Whether in joy or sorrow, there is always a strain of melody to accompany you.】

【Nietzsche was right!】

【The piano version of Canon really is my favorite! I hope everyone takes some time to listen!】
