Chapter 13: You're Sure This Is Called a Confession?
"'Confession Night'?" Many people heard the name of this piece and felt a bit puzzled.
At the mentor's table, Wei Ran and Jiang Ningxi were the most confused.
Wei Ran himself is a singer-songwriter; his creative ability is not bad, and his musical attainments are not low either. He is someone who has studied at a music conservatory in a serious, professional manner.
He racked his brains, but in his memory, there was no such violin piece.
Of course, it could also be because this piece is not popular, or is relatively niche.
Jiang Ningxi is someone who likes listening to instrumental music. Like the vast majority of young people, she finds it easy to suffer from insomnia at night.
In most cases, she chooses to take two melatonin pills and then listen to ten minutes of instrumental music.
In her memory, she also did not know of such a violin piece. At the same time, she remembered that when they were young, what Luo Mo practiced on weekends was a type of Chinese classical instrument that netizens jokingly called the "hooligan instrument," not the violin.
However, the two of them hadn't been in much contact for so many years, so she was not surprised that Luo Mo had learned something new.
Honestly, based on her understanding of Luo Mo, this man's talent in music is terrifying, or rather, it is "Absolute Pitch"!
The so-called "Absolute Pitch" refers to the ability to identify the specific pitch of a sound without a reference tone.
This ability is mostly innate and can be said to be one in a million.
On Earth, there are quite a few representative figures who possess "Absolute Pitch," among whom real people include Beethoven, Zhou Jielun, and others.
As for fictional characters, there is the one who sings completely out of tune... Edogawa Conan.
Jiang Ningxi knows very well that if Luo Mo puts his heart into learning an instrument, with his heaven-gifted talent, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
In her view, Meng Yangguang's previous performance level was not even as good as Luo Mo's during his junior high school years.
At this very moment, she looked at Luo Mo on the stage, watching the way he held the violin, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she said in her heart: "He's got the vibe now."
To be precise, the young lady Shen Yinuo sitting beside her had already visually felt the charm of the violin at this moment.
She hadn't heard it yet, but it looked very good and very elegant.
As for backstage, General Director Ning Dan spoke up: "Check the basic information for this 'Confession Night' and feed it back to the five mentors' earpieces in a moment."
The staff worked quickly and gave an answer within a few seconds.
"Sister Ning, if Luo Mo didn't get the name wrong... it seems there is no violin piece called 'Confession Night'!"
"Hmm?" Ning Dan pursed her full red lips, only feeling her mouth go a bit dry.
"This kid... he wouldn't have brought another original, would he?"
In the center of the stage, Luo Mo began to move.
Many people at the scene looked at him, and couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.
Whether it was the earlier piano playing or the current violin playing, if he were wearing a formal suit, how dazzling would that be?
The sound of the violin echoed throughout the entire hall.
The sound was soothing, the kind that could make people relax all at once.
But for some reason, beneath this soothing sound, it seemed as if something was buried.
An excellent piece of music is often able to reflect emotions, create a sense of imagery, and even give people strength.
This is also the reason why many people love to listen to live performances.
Now, many people listening to the violin piece, listening to the rise and fall of the melody, seemed to be able to feel the hidden emotions. Connecting it to the name of this piece, they felt that this emotion was—liking.
In fact, when Luo Mo first heard this piece, he thought the same.
But later he discovered that due to cultural differences between countries and the creative background of this piece, "Confession" actually means "Self-confession"; the tone of this piece is actually a self-confession of saying farewell to someone.
However, what is interesting is that precisely because the tone of this piece is farewell, it makes people even more fascinated.
——Confession is also farewell.
Below the stage, the trainees looked at each other, using their eyes to question those around them: "Buddy, have you heard this piece?"
The answer was naturally that none of them had heard it.
In the earpieces of the five mentors came the staff's prompt, informing them that this piece was very likely an original, because it couldn't be found on the internet at all!
This caused the five mentors' expressions to change instantly, and they straightened up, becoming even more serious.
If they were previously listening to Luo Mo's performance level, then at this moment, they also had to appreciate his creative ability.
The melodious violin piece continued, and the conveyed emotions gradually became clear.
At around one minute, everyone could clearly feel the progression of the emotions.
On stage, Luo Mo played the violin, his body swaying naturally.
He knew very well where the true brilliance of this piece began.
One minute and forty seconds!
From one minute and forty seconds on, the feeling of this piece changed instantly!
This point is something that many fans of this piece love to talk about.
At the same time, many people have clipped this segment of the melody to use as background music for short videos.
Therefore, many people might look at the name "Confession Night" and feel they haven't heard it, but after hearing the sound, a thought would pop into their minds—so it's this one!
You must know, back then, the original creator uploaded their own live version video on Douyin, and the number of likes reached nearly 3 million!
The caption was—【May you be able to hear the complex mood that confession is farewell】.
When Luo Mo played this segment of the melody, Meng Yangguang's expression stiffened instantly, looking extremely ugly.
Wei Ran turned his head to look at his good buddy Li Ge beside him, and mouthed three words to him.
Li Ge understood.
What Wei Ran said was—"I am not worthy."
The "Departure" that Meng Yangguang performed earlier was adapted from Wei Ran's single.
Although it is somewhat unfair to say so, after all, Departure is not a violin piece by nature, but a pop song.
But Wei Ran intuitively felt that even if he were to personally arrange Departure into a violin piece, it would absolutely not be on the same level as this Confession Night, absolutely not!
Li Ge looked at him with a confused expression, as if saying: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
He only felt that it sounded very good, and a little bit sorrowful.
This made Wei Ran feel even more disdain for him.
"This keyboard warrior doesn't know a damn thing about the violin!"
The cultural oasis was once again looking down on the cultural desert.
At the Corner of the stage, the Xingshi Entertainment trainees exchanged glances with one another.
Ji Kangdong gently nudged Meng Yangguang and asked in a low voice: "Are you confident?"
Meng Yangguang did not know how to answer for a moment.
To say nothing else, just looking at the technique, he had already lost!
This Luo Mo, where on earth did the production team find such a monster!
The same thought arose in the hearts of many trainees.
According to reliable information, this guy was here just to make up the numbers; he was a staff member on the clock!
Are you sure this is a cannon fodder?
He can compose, he can play the piano, and his violin is so formidable.
This must be a big demon king! He's here to drill us!
And he's even tormenting people while on the payroll, earning double the wages; tell me, isn't that infuriating?
At this moment, regardless of whether they understood music or not, everyone could intuitively feel that this piece seemed very impressive; it could be considered something that appealed to both refined and popular tastes.
——Music is truly magical.
As the piece ended, Luo Mo bowed slightly to the crowd under the spotlight, concluding his performance.
The audience fell into a deathly silence, and it was only after two seconds that applause broke out.
On the mentor's dais, Jiang Ningxi became dazed once again.
The composed man on the stage overlapped with the confident youth from back then.
And what rang in her ears was that same thunderous applause.
For some reason, her body had an instinctive reaction, just like back then.
This made her feel somewhat relieved; fortunately, the human body has good sound insulation. Otherwise, someone would definitely be able to hear her thumping heartbeat.
How magical, it seems Confession Night just happened to become non-free these past few days...
Also, the familiar tip of 404 Qidian coins has appeared again...
