Chapter Nineteen Misunderstanding

  Lu Li watched as the people who came down from the front were one by one hanging their heads in dejection, clearly having failed the exam. Of course, there were also those who came out with excitement and joy on their faces, looking like they had already passed the exam. However, such people were few and far between.

  Lu Li is now feeling more tense, he really doesn't know if Zhou Fan's method will work or not.

  Soon, they arrived at the handsome man who was paired with Lu Li and Zhou Fan. Although this person was a bit arrogant, he indeed had real skills and passed the exam. The tall and beautiful woman in front of Lu Li also quickly passed the exam.

  However, the handsome man did not leave in a hurry after passing the exam, but instead stood aside and teased Lu Li and Zhou Fan with a playful gaze, as if he wanted to see them make fools of themselves. On the other hand, the tall woman left immediately after finishing the exam, her stunning face without any particular expression, as if passing the exam had no effect on her at all.

  The beautiful woman had finished her exam and arrived at the land of Lu Li, where she reluctantly sat down with a long table separating her from the other examiners.

  "Please show your art exam admission ticket, and then start the free test. The test has no questions, just express yourself freely." A middle-aged man sitting in the center spoke in a mechanical tone. On both sides of the middle-aged man sat four teachers, men and women in their fifties to sixties, who were actually the examiners responsible for reviewing the exams, while the middle-aged man was just hosting the test.

  At this moment, the four examiners did not look at Lu Li, but instead lowered their heads and did their own things. For them, taking an exam here was just a matter of filtering out some unqualified people, which was too easy for them, so they didn't want to waste time doing something else.

  Lu Li handed over his art examination admission ticket and said, "I will compose music."

  The middle-aged man looked at Lu Li with a glance, and the four teachers who had been lowering their heads also looked up at Lu Li. People who come to take the exam usually move the teachers through instrumental performances or singing, but it's rare for someone to compose their own music. After all, composition is not an easy task, especially for someone of Lu Li's age.

  Of course, there were also people who composed their own music to participate in the exam. After all, with a large population of Chinese, there must be some geniuses. However, many of them couldn't satisfy the teachers, after all, at this age, they lacked some experience and the music they composed was often tasteless and pieced together. It's already impressive that they could do so, so when the few teachers heard that Lu Li could compose music, they couldn't help but take a look at him.

  Of course, it was just a glance, being able to compose music couldn't make them look at him in a new light, after all, Lu Li wasn't the only one who participated in the exam with composition.

  The middle-aged man then handed Lu Li a white paper and a pencil, indicating that Lu Li could start. Lu Li took the paper and pen, took a deep breath, and began to write on the white paper.

  Ludi wrote five-line staff on the white paper, although Ludi didn't know music knowledge, but practicing drawing five-line staff had started long ago. Although he didn't understand what these symbols represented, Ludi could still draw them according to the strokes.

  Lü Lì is currently writing a song called "Summer", which is the theme song for the movie "Kikujirō no Natsu" (Kikujiro's Summer), originally composed by Joe Hisaishi.

  "Kikujirō's Summer" is a movie that Lu Li has never seen, but the song "Summer" is one that Lu Li deeply loves.

  The piece starts with a soothing cello solo, sounding somewhat melancholic. Then the piano and violin become the main melody together, starting simple and bright, fresh and natural. Moreover, this piece is relatively lively and dynamic throughout, making people feel very comfortable listening to it, bringing a sense of relaxation.

  But in this relatively light and lively song, there is also a melancholic melody that makes people feel sad. Throughout the song, sadness and lightness intersect. This processing of the song made Lu Li think of his childhood in the countryside after listening to it. At that time, it was Lu Li's last summer living in the countryside, Lu Li played very happily, but also had a hint of sadness about saying goodbye to his hometown and leaving the place where he grew up.

  So Lu Li fell in love with this song, and even in college, he still listened to it often. At this moment, Lu Li thoughtlessly took this song as his own work to participate in the art exam.

  Firstly, this song doesn't require rich life experiences, the emotions expressed are sincere and pure. When someone asks about the inspiration behind this song, Lu Li can also answer with his own childhood experiences.

  The tune was not very long and Lu Li finished writing it quickly.

  "I've finished writing." Lu Li handed it over to the middle-aged man after finishing writing.

  "Alright, you wait for a moment." The middle-aged man said after handing over the score to a teacher on his right side.

  "Huh?" The teacher took a look at the score written by Lu Li, originally carefree, but suddenly let out a soft "huh". Then his face gradually turned serious.

  Several others also heard the teacher's soft sigh and lifted their heads, looking at him with some curiosity.

  Seeing the gaze of his companions, the teacher hesitated for a moment and said: "This song is not bad, but for now I still can't figure it out. However, this classmate has passed the exam. As for the rest, let's talk about it later. There are still so many people waiting to take the exam."

  The other three people were shocked to hear this, as the teacher who was reading the score was named Shen Pengjun, a renowned musician with great achievements in music art, and had won many awards at home and abroad when he was young.

  Shen Pengjun is also a graduate of Huaxia Music Academy, and after graduating, he made countless achievements that people admire. However, as he got older, Shen Pengjun was no longer willing to go out and struggle, and voluntarily returned to his alma mater to teach, bringing out many famous disciples who are hot in the music industry, and is one of the famous teachers of Huaxia Music Academy.

  Now hearing Shen Pengjun say that it's not visible for the time being, they were shocked. However, as Shen Pengjun said, there are still many people waiting to take the exam behind, and several people can only suppress their doubts and start busy.

  Lu Di was also very happy when he heard that he had passed the exam. He had been worried about it all along.

  "Hey, Ludi, didn't expect you to be a master too! Don't leave yet, wait for me." Zhou Fan also saw that Ludi had passed the exam and felt somewhat dissatisfied with what Ludi had said earlier about being a music newbie, but he didn't take it to heart and instead called out to Ludi to wait for him.

  "Go on, refuel." Lu Li heard Zhou Fan's words and didn't leave immediately, waiting aside instead.

  Lu Di also saw that the handsome man on the side now looked a bit unpleasant.

  Lu Li never thought that just chatting with Zhou Fan would provoke this person, and this person's tolerance is so small. Of course, Lu Li couldn't know that this person was causing trouble for Lu Li and Zhou Fan just to get the beauty's attention.

  But in the end, Zhou Fan not only failed to get out of the limelight, but also saw that Zhou Fan had actually made the beauty smile, and naturally hated Zhou Fan. At the same time, seeing Lu Li's familiar appearance with Zhou Fan, he also remembered to hate Lu Li together.

  "Alright, Zhou Fan, will you or won't you? You've been given plenty of time already." After a while, Lu Li suddenly heard the voice of the person in charge of the exam coming from the examination room.

  "Teacher, just wait a moment, I can do it. I just forgot for a moment, I've memorized it very well and I'm sure I can recite it." Zhou Fan said calmly.

  Lu Li sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan, how could you be so stupid?"

  The handsome man also heard Zhou Fan's words at this moment and burst out laughing on one side.

  "Hmph, Zhou Fan, you can leave now. You failed the exam." The middle-aged man in charge of the examination directly took away Zhou Fan's paper and pen.

  The four teachers also heard Zhou Fan's words and looked at him with a smile on their faces, but they didn't say much either.

  At this time, Zhou Fan also came to his senses and realized that he had said the wrong thing. For a moment, he was extremely regretful. Actually, everything was fine at first, and Zhou Fan had been writing smoothly all along, but suddenly he forgot how to write a certain point. As soon as he forgot, Zhou Fan tried hard to think of it, but no matter what, he couldn't remember. This made Zhou Fan somewhat nervous, and the more nervous he became, the less he could remember, until he was sweating profusely.

  This delay has taken some time, and Zhou Fan was urged to hurry up several times in between. This made Zhou Fan anxious, but he just couldn't think of anything.

  When others urged him to hurry up again, Zhou Fan was also anxious and lost his composure, opening his mouth to say that he had memorized it, that he had come to transcribe silently.

  That's what made the scene just now so funny.

  "Teacher, give me another chance, I'll write it myself, let me try again." Zhou Fan begged urgently as he saw the other person had already put away their pen and paper.

  "Hmph!" The middle-aged man was indeed iron-faced and impartial, letting out a cold snort. Seeing Zhou Fan still lingering, he said: "Alright, you'd better leave quickly yourself, otherwise I'll notify the security department."

  The other four teachers didn't pay attention to this place either, such things happen every year and are no longer fresh.

  "Teacher, I..." Zhou Fan was about to plead again, but Lu Li had already walked over and pulled him away, telling him not to make a fuss anymore.

  "Alright, Zhou Fan, it's okay if you didn't get in. There are other art colleges too." Lu Li comforted him, seeing the sweat all over his face.

  "You're one to talk, do you know how long I've been preparing for this exam and how much effort I put in?" Zhou Fan was not in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't listen to Lu Li's consolation, instead feeling that Lu Li was mocking him.

  After finishing this sentence, Zhou Fang also didn't stay here and quickly left the multi-functional music hall.

  Lu Li originally wanted to catch up, but after thinking about it, he sighed and didn't do it. If he caught up, what would he say? Some things can't be explained clearly. Of course, Lu Li remembered Zhou Fan.

  "Haha, that's really funny!" The handsome boy sent out a burst of joyful laughter and left the place, still laughing as he walked away.

  Lü Li didn't stay any longer, he still had to prepare for a trip back to Huaqing.
