Discussion in progress.

The suona competition started.

The Qin Continent contestant was the first to appear.

All the continents’ livestream rooms erupted in laughter and cheer.

“Next, please enjoy the folk art performance, the suona show!”

“Let me see which Maestro from the Qin Continent is responsible for composing with the suona.”

“Hahahahahaha, it seems like no Maestro has ever specifically written a solo piece for the suona. It’s more often used as an embellishment, like in Xian Yu’s previous song ‘Jiu Er.'”

“This thing is indeed good for support. If used well, it’s a divine stroke.”

“But after all, this is the Blue Songlympics.”

“At least it’s a gold medal.”

“The information about the piece is out!”

“Eh?”

“Pfft!”

“How is it him again!”

On stage, the big screen displayed the information about the piece!

Piece: Song of the Phoenix

Composer: Xian Yu

Performer: Song Zhou

Xian Yu seemed to be in a tussle with music instruments, even getting involved in suona compositions!

…

Zhong Continent livestream room.

The audience’s emotions, having barely calmed down from “The Original Scenery of Homeland,” were now agitated again!

“Ah!”

“I can’t, I can’t, I’m going to die, going to die, going to die!”

“Quick, pinch my philtrum!”

“I need a quick-acting heart-saving pill!”

“I swear on a monkey, why is it Xian Yu again? This guy really doesn’t shy away from anything!”

“Isn’t this guy supposed to be best at piano? Clearly so high-profile, how did he end up composing erhu and suona at the Blue Songlympics? Can’t we play something more mainstream?”

“Fearing Fish syndrome, in progress…”

“Is this guy not satisfied until all the audience has left?”

“Wait, don’t be in such a hurry to die. This event has nothing to do with us!”

“Few of us in the Zhong Continent can play the suona; yesterday three contestants were knocked out and didn’t even make it to the finals.”

“Dying of laughter!”

The Zhong Continent audience quickly adjusted their mentality.

Shall we cheer for the Qin Continent’s opponents this time?

And amidst these bullet comments.

The Qin Continent contestant had already started playing the suona on stage!

…

Song of the Phoenix.

Originally named Ten Sceneries.

Among the significant suona pieces in the Celestial Dynasty, it was the most representative, interpreting the expressive power of the suona to an extreme.

*Was it necessarily a happy or a sad occasion?*

*This piece actually called forth people’s love for nature and recollection of labor life with its enthusiastic and joyful melody.*

*Rustic?*

*Vulgar?*

It’s important to know that “Song of the Phoenix” was not only a suona piece but was also adapted into guzheng, accordion, and piano music, among others.

*Such a piece was not simple.*

When the formal suona sound began, the audience’s expressions changed one way or another.

*How could one describe this feeling?*

*It was as if everyone heard all kinds of sounds in this music segment.*

Cuckoo, partridge, swallow, mountain chirp, blue jay, thrush, skylark…

The birds’ chirping was endless.

It even seemed like the crowing of a rooster interspersed in there.

The night vanished.

The morning sun rose.

This symbolism was vividly presented in the music.

The warbling of orioles, the dance of swallows, the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of birds, everything was so bustling, it depicted a vivid scene of nature.

Lively.

Rough.

Down to earth.

Even the audience who initially despised the suona couldn’t help being infected by this atmosphere, quietly perking up their ears.

In fact.

The Blue Star audience didn’t hear the folk-version “Song of the Phoenix.”

The folk version of the music was loosely structured and without a climax, with a lot of improvisation from the performers.

Such as a hen laying eggs and clucking.

Even cries from children and the elderly were casually added in.

Lin Yuan certainly wouldn’t use such a scattered structure for competition.

He had his own adaptation, even combining the characteristics of the national team adaptation, presenting the charm of the instrument more comprehensively. This was a complete work, different from but derived from the folk version.

*Those who liked it, still liked it.*

*Those who didn’t like it, no longer resisted as much.*

…

The suona was destined to be lively.

Just like at this moment in the Zhong Continent livestream room.

A group of people playing the meme:

“Lying down to listen is the minimum respect for the suona.”

“This suona piece is interesting. Indeed, Xian Yu has something. I suggest you download it later and set it as a wake-up alarm. If you wake up, go to work. If you don’t wake up, hit the road directly.”

“Lay a person down, cover with a cloth, and the entire village waits for the dishes.”

“Suddenly recalling a phrase, ‘Red board, white board, after eating, lie together.'”

“I see you’re eager to feast!”

“Initially not understanding the meaning within the music, but upon a second listen, I’m already a person within the coffin.”

“I just shifted from lying on my side to lying flat, the expression on my face has calmed down, too. I feel my body becoming lighter, even faintly hearing cries.”

“Am I the only one who feels, it’s actually quite good?”

“There’s me too.”

“You’re not alone.”

“This suona piece is somehow magical. I can’t tell if it’s a great joy or a great sorrow; it feels so pure and absolute.”

“It’s hard to listen to.”

“This suona is clearly mocking. Xian Yu is telling us he’s already sent off several batches of Zhong Continent contestants!”

*How to say it.*

*Leaving aside the competitive relationship.*

*The Zhong Continent audience didn’t really hate Xian Yu.*

*Was it somewhat like many of the Chinese view of Faker?*

*A respectable opponent.*

*However, once it came to competition, everyone still lost their heads, exceedingly eager to cruelly defeat Xian Yu.*

But it was very clear.

They wouldn’t achieve this goal today.

“Song of the Phoenix,” once again, prematurely ended the suspense in the suona competition thanks to Xian Yu.

Yet one had to admit:

The decline of the suona really had its reasons.

Although this piece was a renowned work in the Celestial Dynasty, it didn’t leave nearly as deep an impression on the audience as Xian Yu’s previous pieces.

Even if this was a championship suona piece.

What was the piece that really entered everyone’s heart?

It was “Horse Racing.”

It was “Reflections of the Moon on Erquan.”

It was “The Original Scenery of Homeland.”

It was the works of Yang Zhongming and Abigail.

This might be related to the inherent inability of the suona’s tone to achieve beauty.

Of course, some audience members resonated with it. “Song of the Phoenix,” after all, was incomparably excellent, but this group was still much smaller compared to those previous pieces.

“The lonely instrument.”

Ye Zhi Qiu in the Qin Continent livestream room hit the nail on the head: “An instrument that doesn’t quite fit in always ends up not doing so well.”

Why did piano and violin become mainstream?

Because they were so sociable.

Regardless of popular songs or high-profile symphonies, their compositions were never without them.

And the suona?

It was only used in special situations.

After a pause.

Ye Zhi Qiu continued:

“Actually, this is also why I hold a special respect for Xian Yu. He can play and utilizes any instrument, treating both mainstream and niche equally. I don’t know if the suona will continue to decline, but I think in the future, ‘Song of the Phoenix’ will surely have a place among the Blue Star suona pieces. And it is precisely because of this ability that Xian Yu could wield the suona as a weapon that others dare not and will not use.”

Alright then.

You’re learning from Lu Sheng to praise Xian Yu.

But compared to Lu Sheng’s “verbal enthusiasm,” Ye Zhi Qiu’s words were more easily accepted and recognized by the public.

The suona once again proved:

Those who doubted Xian Yu’s ability to compose with instruments could begin to shut up from this moment.

From piano to erhu, and then from the Blue Star flute to the suona, one person truly achieved “Enjoyed by both Refined and Vulgar.” Their musical instrument attainments were beyond doubt.

Today’s three-round finals were Xian Yu’s solo instrument show!
