Chapter 1412: Chapter 1167: The Real Ten-Sided Ambush
The film release event continued, but Lin Yuan’s performance had co to an end. You can’t reveal all good things at once, and he had already done enough.
At this mont.
The Maestros invited as guests could only marvel inwardly, even though they had already guessed Xian Yu’s intentions.
Gai remarked softly:
“On the surface, Xian Yu is promoting the film, but in truth, he’s showcasing more of his potential in music composition.”
The rankings for the music charts had not been announced yet.
The public remained highly curious about how the Maestros would be officially ranked.
Many believed Xian Yu would make it into the top ten, but so felt that his experience was still sowhat lacking.
Today.
Xian Yu silenced all the skeptics with three performances at this film release event.
Just with “Ambush from Ten Sides”;
Just with “The Small Knife Society Suite”;
Just with “Zigeunerweisen”;
Combined with Xian Yu’s past extraordinary accomplishnts;
If these works didn’t land him in the top ten of the music scene, people might start questioning the credibility of Blue Star’s music rankings.
Yang Zhongming smirked lightly: “Two birds with one stone.”
Then.
The release event continued.
After all, this was Xian Yu’s film release event, not a music release event, though the music had already beco the center of attention.
And so.
Various segnts ensued.
The event went on for two hours.
During the interlude, singers from the Yu Dynasty took turns performing a few songs.
It wasn’t until 9:30 in the evening that one of the largest film release events in Blue Star’s history officially ended.
…
As the crowd dispersed.
Various guests were approached by reporters for interviews.
Led by Yang Zhongming and Gai, the Maestros were particularly sward by reporters from all continents.
A reporter asked:
“How would you all evaluate the work ‘The Small Knife Society’?”
“This piece is very fitting as ballet theater music, especially the opening section of ‘The Small Knife Society Overture’. The suona is one of the best instrunts to stir human emotions, but the other two pieces are even more remarkable!”
The speaker was Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng’s musical stature at the event ranked just below Yang Zhongming and Gai among the Maestros.
“Can you elaborate on that?”
“Ol’ Yang would have the most authority to speak on this,”
Zheng Jing glanced at Yang Zhongming and grinned teasingly.
Yang Zhongming didn’t decline and addressed the question with a rare smile:
“Blue Star has plenty of violin pieces worth listening to. However, truly top-tier masterpieces in the violin repertoire are few and far between. You know what a representative masterpiece ans, don’t you?”
Of course, everyone understood!
The aning of a representative masterpiece is:
A few landmark works that people would instantly associate with a given instrunt.
For instance, when thinking of symphonies, even those unfamiliar with classical music would imdiately think of “The Fate Symphony.”
Yang Zhongming’s smile faded slightly.
His expression turned serious:
“Xian Yu’s ‘Zigeunerweisen’ is qualified to be one of the representative masterpieces for the violin. Even among the world’s entire violin repertoire, this piece would firmly place in the top twenty. If we’re only considering Blue Star’s contemporary violin works, it would undoubtedly rank in the top ten!”
Contemporary top ten!?
Reporters couldn’t help but look at Gai.
However, Gai nodded in agreent to Yang Zhongming’s statent:
“Ol’ Yang’s violin mastery is unparalleled—this is undisputed within the music scene. Even in Zhong Continent, no one refutes this fact. Whenever we talk about violins, we inevitably think of Ol’ Yang’s representative works. But I think Ol’ Yang will have competition in the future; the level of violin composition Xian Yu has displayed seems close to rivaling Ol’ Yang’s.”
The on-site reporters were stunned!
Those outside the professional circle might not grasp the specifics as clearly but knew that “Zigeunerweisen” was extraordinary.
What Yang Zhongming and Gai had said, however, gave the reporters an even more straightforward understanding of just how excellent this piece was!
A reporter quickly followed up: “What about ‘Ambush from Ten Sides’?”
Gai responded: “If ‘Zigeunerweisen’ could beco one of the violin’s representative masterpieces, then ‘Ambush from Ten Sides’ is undoubtedly one of Blue Star’s representative pipa masterpieces. In the future, when anyone discusses pipa music, this piece will be impossible to avoid. This composition is already qualified to rank among the top five pipa works in Blue Star’s history—mind you, I’m not saying contemporary works, I an all pipa pieces since ancient tis. It still ranks in the top five!”
The reporters were speechless!
This was an even loftier evaluation!
Top five pipa works in Blue Star’s history!
Today, Xian Yu had produced two compositions that seem to define the pinnacle of their respective instrunts!
In their shock.
So reporters attempted to find dissenting opinions among other Maestros.
But what they discovered left them even more astonished!
Every Maestro present nodded in agreent!
This was a collective acknowledgnt of Yang Zhongming and Gai’s opinions!
anwhile, in the livestream chatroom.
Viewers from all continents who had just seen the interview were floored!
“Holy shit!”
“The evaluation is so high! ‘Zigeunerweisen’ apparently ranks in the top twenty of Blue Star’s violin repertoire, and for contemporary works, it securely enters the top ten!”
“And ‘Ambush from Ten Sides’ is even crazier!”
“Considering all pipa works from ancient tis until now, this piece ranks among the top five. That’s insane!”
“Is this proven, or just promotional hype?”
“Gai and Father Yang aren’t the types to exaggerate for promotion, let alone engage in mutual flattery. Plus, so many Maestros on-site agreed, and we’ve heard the pieces ourselves—don’t they absolutely live up to the hype?”
“Absolutely mind-blowing!”
