Chapter 360 Nanali – Painting in Music
On. On stage?
Right.Right now? ?

Nanali was not prepared at all, but after hearing the broadcast, her body seemed to lose control and automatically entered a certain operating program.

She stood up from the sofa. Her mind was already in a mess, and after talking with Lin Tian, ​​it became even more confused.

hateful!

Why are we chatting about this?

How could I not help but tell it all?

Now, I can no longer hold my head up in front of Gan Yanyu.
No, that doesn’t seem to be the point.

The point is, my brain no longer has the time to process playing.

that woman
That woman must have taken her seat in the audience by now, right?
As we have seen from the live footage just now, there is an empty seat in the middle of the first row of VIP seats.

How could there be room in this place?
It must be that woman.

Did you intentionally wait until you were about to play before taking your seat?
That’s really her style.
Not because she was busy, or because she didn’t plan to watch other people play.

That damn woman just wanted to put pressure on herself in this way, that’s all.

Nunnally knew all too well.

She had been through this for countless days and nights, and she knew that woman’s methods very well!
The girl bit her lip, covered her head, and walked out of the room.

“.”

As soon as I turned the corner of the corridor, I ran into a familiar figure.

“Nunali?”

Gan Yanyu widened her eyes slightly and looked at her.
“Are you going on stage?”

“Yes.”

“Where’s Lin Tian? I saw he’s been out for so long, so I wanted to come and see you.”

“In my lounge.”

“Oh, good—you’re okay, right?”

“.”

Nunnally subconsciously avoided the topic.

She didn’t understand. It was Gan Yanyu who was concerned about her before, so why did she so naturally assume that she was “fine” now that she was on stage?

Just because the one who came to enlighten me was Lin Tian?
So you have this kind of confidence?
What an infuriating couple!

“.”

If we say that after chatting with Lin Tian just now, her irritability index has exceeded 80%.

Now, after hearing what Gan Yanyu said, this index has completely exceeded 100%!

“I am leaving.”

Nanali said as she was about to move forward.

However, he was blocked by Gan Yanyu again.

The girl came up to Nunnally and said seriously,

“Come on! I understand how you feel!”

Damn Gan Yanyu, what can you understand?
Nanali was already irritated and kept muttering to herself.

“If you’re not in good shape and feel it will affect your performance later, just focus on the music!”

Gan Yanyu smiled and said,
“As long as you stay focused on what you love on stage, everything will be fine – and I’ve always done that!”

“that is you!”

Nanali finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

She suddenly grabbed Gan Yanyu’s hand and pressed the girl against the wall. She stared at her and said excitedly,

“What I love is not even on the stage, what do you want me to do?!”

The shouts echoed in the corridor.

Gan Yanyu was completely stunned and stared at her blankly.

“.”

After a while, Nanali reacted and quickly withdrew her hand.

“I’m sorry, I’m having a bad day today.”

Nunnally turned her head away. She just wanted to escape from this place. She was worried that if she stayed any longer, she would do something more extreme.

However, Nunnally just turned to leave.

This time, it was Gan Yanyu’s turn to grab her arm.

Nunnally looked back in surprise.

Gan Yanyu looked at her calmly.
“I’ll watch your performance.”

Nunnally ran down the hallway leading to the stage.

She didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were always making sarcastic remarks.

What do you love or not love?
How could people like them who have such clear goals know what kind of complicated mentality they have been holding when playing the music?

In order to get rid of the things I hate, I have to practice harder.

How could they possibly understand this feeling?
As Nunnally stepped onto the stage.

The glaring light shone on her.

The girl’s eyes quickly swept across the audience.

Thump thump thump——

When Nunnally really saw the figure of that woman.

Nunnally’s expression was visibly startled.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

A suffocating feeling came over her and the girl’s heartbeat stopped instantly.

“Wow~ Contestant Nunnally isn’t wearing a formal suit today?”

On the commentary platform, Zhuye exclaimed,

“It’s actually a little dress. What a cute outfit. Does Nunnally always wear this in private?”

At this moment, the audience at the scene were constantly making sounds of surprise when they saw this scene.

Most of them were praising Nunnally’s beautiful face.

It is indeed amazing.

If Nunnally had a purely white face or an Asian face, there might not be such an effect.

But she has a face that has both of them and looks very mixed-race.

The upper limit of human appearance is sometimes really born from such a mixed-race face.

Taking advantage of this topic, Fengye couldn’t help but make a joke:
“If Nanali wins, she should be the first British player to represent China, right?”

“Haha, it’s not impossible, but this has happened before in history. Vienna gave us an extra spot, allowing us to send another local player to participate.”

The two commentators were chatting like this.

However, a strange scene occurred.

Gradually, they realized that the time spent preparing for the performance was too long.

Why hasn’t it started yet?
They looked toward the stage.

now,

Nunnally stood center stage.

She just stood there, showing no sign of moving.

As time passes by.

Some audience members also noticed something was wrong.

He muttered quietly.

“.Is this, an accident?”

Maple Leaf said carefully.

“It’s hard to say. Maybe the player is a little nervous and is trying to adjust?”

“Actually, I was just thinking, is Contestant Nunnally dressing like this today because she wants to make some changes? This kind of outfit should have symbolic meaning.”

on the stage.

1——2——1——

Nanali muttered to herself and took a deep breath.

It’s time to play.

It’s time to play.

Why don’t you move! Nunnally!

Nanali kept urging herself in her heart.

But for some reason, my hands and feet seemed to be frozen by something.

Totally out of control.

Wherever you look,
The woman was in a rather leisurely state at this moment.

Sit down below.

In those extremely cold eyes.

With a joking tone.

Is this payback for what happened this morning?
Looking at such eyes.

Nunnally gritted her teeth.

Her memory shuttled back and forth, and scenes flashed through her mind.

For many days and nights, it was this gaze that accompanied her painful childhood memories.

What do you think, mother?
What kind of mentality do you have, sitting here and watching your own game?
Nunnally really didn’t understand.

If I say that my performance career is a complete contradiction, being forced to do things I don’t like,

What about the mother’s perspective?
Mingming really hopes that he can restore the glory of the Nanali family and that his cello talent can be carried forward.

Then what about the look in his eyes, who is sitting here and hoping to lose the game?

Aren’t your feelings as complicated as mine?

Or,
You just enjoy this? Watching me suffer for the cello gives you pleasure, right?
“.”

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t it started yet?”

“What’s going on? Is she scared silly?”

“His mental quality is too poor. After all, he is a 20-year-old player. He is still a child, right?”

“If you ask me, just eliminate her. Her performance last time was just so-so, right? There was nothing special to remember.”

The audience was restless.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became uncontrollable.

“It seems that our contestant Nunnally had some problems today.”

Zhuye said worriedly,
“If she exceeds the prescribed preparation time by one minute, she will be deemed to have given up the competition.”

now,

After failing in her repeated attempts to gain control of her body, Nanali finally raised her head and accepted her fate.

She can’t even lift the bow. Let’s end it here.

Nunnally stared at the ceiling of the concert hall.

Anyway, this was a performance that was doomed to fail.

Being eliminated without a word would bring shame to the Nunnally family, and maybe even disgust that woman.
She couldn’t change anything. She couldn’t get herself out of the quagmire just by playing like Gan Yanyu did.
——Is there any moment when you felt that playing music was actually quite enjoyable?
Just at this time.

The boy’s voice appeared in Nunnally’s mind.

She was startled.

How did she want to answer?
Have.

Yes, Nunnally has.

And, not just once.

That was the first time I faced Gan Yanyu at the Manchester International Music Competition.

In the coffee shop of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s home, he played “Spanish Bullfight” with Gan Yanyu.

And at the concert held by Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, she was really happy when she played with them.

think carefully,

Not all music-related memories are painful.

There are also moments that make her feel extremely happy and satisfied.

What I hate,
Is it really music?

In an instant,
Nunnally’s pupils trembled.

——Focus on the things you love.

at the same time,

Another girl’s voice echoed in Nunnally’s mind.

The girl looked at the bow in her hand.

In a daze,

A bold idea flashed through her mind.

If what you hate is not music.

So, can they, as a whole, complete a pleasant cooperation?
In a daze,

The bow in my hand seemed to have turned into a beautiful paintbrush.

She slowly raised the paintbrush.

“Wait, Nunnally moved?!”

Fengye quickly noticed this change and lay down on the commentary desk.

“It’s really moving!”

The bamboo leaves shouted with joy,
“I knew that contestant Nunnally wouldn’t give up that easily!”

At this moment, there was a sound of exclamation from the audience.

Where the light is focused.

Nanali, sit down!

Picked up the bow.

now,

Nunnally stared at that spot in the audience.

She was already extremely sure.

What I hate is never the cello, let alone music.

She hated it.

It’s this hypocritical, disgusting woman who only thinks about her family!
Girl, hold the bow tightly.

Then, suddenly, the tip of the bow pierced the G string, and the overtones that were ground out were like the moment when a cobalt blue paint tube was stepped on and exploded!
That metallic blue that explodes on the canvas!

The performance has begun!

This opening overtone is extremely contradictory, with an uncomfortable feeling that gives you goose bumps.

However, this feeling will shock your soul after a brief moment of disharmony.

The entire audience immediately exclaimed in amazement.

“Nice piano!”

Maple Leaf couldn’t help but get up.
“The name of this piece is… ‘Chromatographic Sonata’ – what does that mean?”

“I understand!”

Bamboo Leaf said,

“Do you think the harmonics produced by the G string sound like painting?”

“draw.?”

Fengye had never heard of such a new concept before, so he listened carefully again.

Grainy overtones seep from the guitar case—this is not standard articulation at all.

The intermittent short sounds gradually took shape in a trance, as if a pencil was outlining the trajectory of a plaster statue on sketch paper.

“sketch?”

“Correct!”

Zhuye said excitedly,

“Isn’t this expressiveness exactly the same as a sketch?!”

Lin Tian, ​​who was watching all this in the lounge, also opened his eyes slightly to the rhythm of the music.

It surprised me that.

Nunnally was able to show such expressiveness one day.

Is this still the restrained Nanali he met in the preliminary round?
At this moment, Lin Tian suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door.

Confused, he stood up and went to open the door.

The next second, Gan Yanyu threw herself into her arms.

Made a sound of great grievance.

“Lin Tian.”

“Ah?”

Lin Tian was dumbfounded, and he quickly helped Gan Yanyu up.

The girl stared with her big tearful eyes, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and it seemed that she had been standing at the door for a while.

“I just said something wrong and hurt Nunnally.”

Gan Yanyu threw herself on Lin Tian’s shoulders and rubbed her tears on the shoulders of Lin Tian’s clothes.

“No no??”

Lin Tian was a little overwhelmed by this scene.

Hurt Nunnally?
If I have to say, weren’t what I just said cruel enough?
“You guys just talked?”

“Yes, in the hallway.”

Gan Yanyu still felt aggrieved.
“Although I said at the end that I would watch her game carefully, but she was so upset by me just now, I feel bad too, Lin Tian.”

“Teacher Gan”

Lin Tian said cautiously,
“I think you need to take a look at the screen.”

Gan Yanyu was slightly startled, raised his head and looked at the big screen.

at this time!

Nunnally sat in the center of the stage, head bowed, playing the cello with deep emotion.

The corners of the blonde girl’s mouth were always slightly raised.

She smiled with overwhelming momentum.

The music, with this momentum, was sonorous and powerful, deeply touching the hearts of every listener.

Such a mind-blowing piano sound!
“So awesome.” Gan Yanyu murmured.

Nunnally played the cello.

At this moment, she had never felt so happy!

Yes,

There aren’t so many things that are hard to understand or figure out.

Just like Lin Tian said, don’t think too much, just come up and play, that’s all.

She has always wanted to try it.

Try to paint in music and draw a beautiful scenery.

Do you understand?

Can you make it?

Nanali wasn’t sure, but she knew Gan Yanyu would definitely understand.

It’s just because of my instinctive aversion to music.

She couldn’t combine the things she hated with the things she liked.

But at that moment just now, Nanali figured it out.

She didn’t hate music, what she hated was always that woman!
Just like the saying goes.

Students always hate a subject because of a teacher.

But there will always be an opportunity when students really look back and realize.

It seems that it is not that annoying.
As for the existence of that woman.

never mind!

Anyway, Gan Yanyu is watching!
She is watching, that’s enough!
Think of this.

Nunnally smiled even more happily.

The music then entered the second movement!

Nanali suddenly turned the bow over and pierced her fingertips with the silver tail pin.

The moment the blood drop fell into the rosin, the D string vibrated with Prussian blue ripples.

The girl’s left hand glided wildly on the fingerboard, and her flaxen hair flickered in arcs of cobalt yellow and madder red as she moved.

“Watercolor!”

Zhuye exclaimed.

“Oh my god, this is awesome! Teacher Nunnally!!”

Maple Leaf couldn’t hold back any longer and kept giving praises like the quintessence of Chinese culture from the commentary booth.

“I’ve never seen such a creative idea before. How did she do it?!”

“Is this the Nunnally family?”

Zhuye exclaimed, “What a great creativity.”

“.”

Feng Ye looked at Nanali on the stage. It was no longer just admiration. He even felt a little scared.
“This is totally championship level.”
