Chapter 222 (1/2)
The Competition Begins
Zhao Youyue’s parents, Zhao Jiayi and Wang Hua were at the scene of the music competition. After all, this was their very first time attending their daughter’s provincial violin competition. The final results of this competition would certainly be useful for applying to a university or participating at a higher level of music competition.
Its level of importance was not inferior to those provincial science competitions too. Besides, Zhao Youyue had decent grades herself, and if her achievements in classical music were to be added to that, she would definitely get the attention of famous schools.
Not many people in the theatre, because most of them were the relatives of the contestants. This was not a concert, and it could get pretty boring. Many of the audiences were dozing off, for contestant after contestant was playing the same tune, it was monotonous!
Ever since Su Li, Ye Hai, and Li Mengyao attended the last music competition, they swore never to come again. They always believed that these sorts of music competitions would be grand, but they had been greatly mistaken, because music competition and performances were two different things!
Those who were capable of holding their own concerts undoubtedly had their own skill and charm, but those who participated in music competitions might be amateurs, and most of them were not qualified to perform in a concert, and some even participated for the sake of getting an extra curriculum credential.
Only professional judges were able to withstand this dull performance, as they listened to every one of the contestant play, and gave them the scores that they deserved.
At this very moment, Wang Hua was even more nervous than Zhao Youyue, she held her husband’s hands tightly, “I can’t believe it, my little sloth actually made it, she has upheld her promise ever since she started attending her violin classes again! Not only has she managed to get a grade ten in violin; she has even entered the finals in this music competition, she’s definitely a talented musician! It’s all your fault, if only you had insisted on her learning the violin when she was still young, she would probably be famous already, in the field of classical music!”
Wang Hua actually wanted to say that she was her own “Chu Luoxun,” but she did not believe that her husband would understand a single word, because he has never read this popular romantic novel.
The violin has twelve grades in total, and the highest an amateur could achieve is ten, while grade eleven was master level, and grade twelve was performance level. Normally, a person would spend seven to ten years to achieve to grade ten, but Zhao Youyue had only spent a few months to get the same results, wasn’t she talented?
Of course, this was because Zhao Youyue had been possessing “Chu Luoxun” frequently over the past few months. Although she had not gotten the character card of “Chu Luoxun” yet, she was already in sync with “Chu Luoxun.” “Chu Luoxun” was addicted to music in her own literary world, and she even goes up on stage to perform, teaching Lin Meiyue violin lessons. Indirectly, Zhao Youyue was improving her own violin skills as well.
To be able to enter a literary world to live another life was an experience worth treasuring, the process was far more satisfying than the results.
Zhao Jiayi only smiled as he was listening to Wang Hua’s complaints, he would have never expected his daughter to be this outstanding!
He was already proud of his daughter’s academic results, and now, her violin skills had improved drastically as well, where was all this mysterious power coming from?
What happened to his daughter who was ordinary in every aspect?
Zhao Jiayi felt sorry for his daughter, did she overwork herself and struggle through unspeakable hardships to achieve such results?
