Chapter 401 Sign up for the competition
"Hi, everyone, I'm sorry to take up everyone's precious time. Well, I'll only give me five minutes." The tall Andrew shrugged and said. He was very self-aware and understood that although he was the class monitor, for Curtis, the so-called class monitor's function is to be a sound tube between the school and the students, and there is no great power.
Andrew is a typical white man, nearly two meters tall, very square face and a very good figure, which makes him look more like an athlete. However, such a guy is a violin majoring. Although it sounds a bit incredible, Lu Wei once heard Paganini's classic violin "Infinite Movement" played by him in a small party held in a class. His superb skills won unanimous praise from everyone. Looking at the thick fingers flexibly rising and falling on the violin's soundboard that was only a few centimeters wide, there was a faint smell of the violin master Paganini, which made everyone sigh that people cannot look like.
"Andrew, say something, hurry up. It's going to start soon. I heard that the restaurant's dinner tonight is authentic Italian pizza." Buck shouted loudly, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the students.
"Buck, you guy knows how to eat. Be careful not to eat too much if you eat too much." Andrew said loudly, causing the students to laugh even louder.
"Buck, you like eating so much. I will treat you to Chinese food one day, so I will make you so beautiful that you can even swallow your tongue." Lu Wei said in a low voice to Buck beside him.
"Chinese food? I've eaten it, but it's just sugar and water. I don't think there is anything delicious." Buck said disapprovingly.
"The one you eat is not called Chinese food, haha, at least it is not an authentic Chinese food. I will make it for you one day. Keeping it opens your eyes." Lu Wei said.
"Really? You can still cook?" Buck couldn't believe it when he listened to Lu Wei's words.
"Of course, I'll show you one day." Lu Wei said, looking at Buck's face with interest, and couldn't help but smile.
"That's great, why not tonight. I really want to see what other delicious food you can make besides playing the piano." Buck said curiously.
The two of them chatted for a while, and saw Andrew making a gesture to ask everyone to be quiet, so they stopped talking.
"Ahem. Andrew cleared his throat. He looked at the dozens of classmates sitting below. There was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Yeah, this is the thing. Just now the student union announced something. I'll convey it to you." Andrew said, as if he had made up a lot of determination. He continued: "Yeah, according to the practice of previous years, the National College Students' Games will be in another week. According to regulations, our college should also send players to participate. Basically, this game is based on the principle of voluntary action. However, according to the requirements of the school, each class still has to send a representative to participate.
Andrew's words were not finished. The classroom was in a quiet state:
"What? Is there anything wrong with my ears? I want us to attend the sports meeting? God. I really don't understand what the school is thinking. We are a music school. Does it make us go to the competition with those guys with simple minds and developed limbs? This sounds ridiculous." A girl wearing the latest style of this year's Chanelite said exaggeratedly. It was the freshman in the class who was professionally acclaimed from Michelle, France. Her words immediately caused a roar of echoes around her.
"That's right. We are learning elegant art. Let's compete with those rough people to compete with whom. This is simply a mockery of music!" said a thin boy with a pair of high-minopia mirrors on his face. The thin limbs show that this guy is seriously lacking in exercise. However, although he has a look of poor appearance, this Wiki comes from a small Finland. He is a talented student in the composition class. But this guy has a common problem with most composers - his personality is arrogant and extreme. Fortunately, most Curtis students are more individual. No one thinks that there is anything wrong with Wiki like this.
"I just don't know what the school thinks. Our school is all about music students. The National College Student Games. It's not our turn to attend any of them." Buck also muttered to Lu Wei.
After hearing Buck's words, Lu Wei just smiled unquestionably. Lu Wei felt a little dissatisfied with everyone's reaction. Although he is also a student here, Lu Wei does not think it is unacceptable to participate in sports meetings. This may be related to Lu Wei's original personality, but Lu Wei also feels that participating in sports is also a good promotion for music. Whether it is playing piano or vocal music, it is not possible to maintain a good state without good physical fitness. Lu Wei can now play the Liszt super etude from the first to the twelfth song in one go. With such physical strength, even if you are on a professional piano.
The performer is also very good at having such excellent physical strength. On the one hand, it is due to his long-term practice of the immortality, and on the other hand, it is also related to Lu Wei's interest in sports. Although Lu Wei spends most of his time on music, whenever he has free time, Lu Wei always likes to exercise, from jogging to swimming, from basketball to football, the sports that Lu Wei likes are rich and diverse. And sports does bring many benefits to Lu Wei. In addition to being able to maintain abundant physical strength during performance, he can also make his body more flexible and thus better control the strength during performance. Therefore, Lu Wei likes exercise very much.
Of course, on the other hand, Lu Wei also had some opinions about the performances of these students in his class just now. In his opinion, even those who learn music do not need to publicize them every day. Like the girl who just had a very exaggerated voice just now, who even spoke with a bel canto way of speaking. Lu Wei felt that he was really too exaggerated. To be honest, those who really like music would never promote themselves everywhere, for fear that others would not know that he was studying music. Those who all day long praised how elegant they were just regarded music as a gorgeous coat on them, and Lu Wei never caught a cold. Such people, even if they became performers in the future, would never be able to play touching immortal works, because first of all, they themselves have never been moved by music.
Although he had long thought that after he made this proposal from the school, he would not receive any fierce response from his classmates, but when he saw the scene in front of him, Andrew's face was still a little embarrassed. In fact, even he himself had the same thoughts as the students below when he heard the president of the Student Union announce this matter. In his opinion, it was really funny to ask a student from a music school to attend a sports meeting.
However, since he was the class monitor, Andrew still had to fulfill his responsibilities and maintained order in the class helplessly. Andrew continued: "Everyone think about it carefully. I will reiterate that this is the arrangement of the student union, and I have no choice. Fortunately, our class only needs to send a contestant, but everyone can rest assured that when we go, it is just a gesture. The Ensheng union also said that it will not make everyone work too hard, and when they go, they will get credits. Andrew said this very unconfidence. After saying that, he looked down carefully and saw many people showing disdain on their faces. It seemed that no one cared about the so-called credits.
"Everyone think about it carefully, just take it as exercise and travel for free. This sports meet is held in New York for ten days. The school provides full-time food and accommodation arrangements. You can go shopping when you don't participate in the competition. Doesn't it sound very good? Andrew continued, although this is not a reason at all, but he still lobbies and secretly hopes that a guy can stand up.
"Oh, it seems that no one is paying attention to this matter. I knew from the beginning that this was bad news. It seems that I am the only one who went there." Andrew thought sadly.
However, just as he announced that the meeting was over, he heard a somewhat lazy voice sounding from the back of the classroom: "I sign up."
This simple sentence caused everyone to turn their heads to see who it was.
Andrew was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, someone was willing to attend this boring sports meeting. You know, Curtis Conservatory has always been the last place in the past and the second place. Because everyone doesn’t want to go, and the people who go are just doing errands, so no one is willing to participate now. It’s rare that there is someone in his class who takes the initiative to participate. Andrew thinks this is simply a big surprise.
Looking at the voice, Andrew found that the Chinese student named Lu Wei was waving to him with a smile, and quickly said enthusiastically: "Oh, Lu Wei, it's great that you are willing to promise. I believe you will definitely achieve good results and win honor for our class. Okay, the candidate has been confirmed. Now it's okay. Let's go for dinner. Tonight is an authentic Italian pizza." Andrew said, and immediately announced the end of the meeting, and then walked quickly outside the classroom, as if he was afraid that Lu Wei would regret it.
"Lu Wei, are you going to participate in the sports meeting?!" Buck just heard Lu Wei's words and almost suspected that something was wrong with his ear. At this moment, he looked at Lu Wei's eyes as if he was looking at an alien.
