In the end, the two teams decided.
The director granted significant freedom, saying, "Victoria and Jane, either of you can play first. It's up to you to decide"
Jane quickly made up her mind and stepped forward, "Director, I'll go first." "
She was always confident in her violin skills, especially since she had been taught by the master Yves Wells. She was certain she could surpass Victoria.
By playing first, she aimed to set high expectations for the audience. When Victoria played afterward, the audience would naturally perceive his skill as average.
Jane looked at Victoria and smiled. "I'll play it first, and You can play it later. Do you have any objections?"
Victoria casually glanced at her, "I don't mind."
Jane turned to the camera, smiling modestly, "I greatly admire Teacher SG and love his 'Muted Sunrise.' If there are any shortcomings in my performance later, please forgive me."
[Jane is too modest. I remember when she played the violin on the show; you outperformed all the professionals]
Jane walked to the Violin table and sat down. She took a few deep breaths and calmed down. She put her hands on the strings and started to play SG's "Muted Sunrise".
Her posture revealed her professionalism.
The melodious sound of the Violin she produced was captivating.
As soon as the piece ended, applause erupted.
Saint couldn't help but praise, "Jane, you truly deserve to be Yves Well's disciple. Your performance was outstanding! I've never heard such a beautiful Violin play!".
Whenever Jane was praised like this, she couldn't help but feel proud.
But in the face of a camera, she smiled modestly and decently, "Saint, you're exaggerating."
"It's a perfect match of exquisite skills with Teacher SG's composition. Eric, what do you think?"
Eric nodded, "It's indeed well played."
Of course, in Eric's mind, nothing surpassed the compositions of his mentor SG.
The director raised the microphone, turning towards Victoria's team, "Jane has finished playing. Now, your team, provide some comments."
Elizabeth spoke first. She didn't know much about the Violin, so she could only listen to it, "It's very good."
Then came Travis, who lazily commented, "It's acceptable."
Saint jokingly said, "Travis, even if you're our opponent, you shouldn't intentionally belittle us."
Travis scratched his ear, "I don't understand violin; I can only say it's acceptable."
Alright, we'll let it slide for now!" Saint looked at Victoria, smiling, "How do you evaluate Jane's performance for your team?"
Victoria glanced at Travis and calmly responded, "He put it too mildly."
What?
Saint was stunned.
Jane's expression changed instantly as she looked at Victoria with displeasure, "Victoria, what do you mean by that?"
Victoria nonchalantly met her gaze, "The piece 'Muted Sunrise' has four parts. You played the first two very well, but from the third part onwards, it became challenging, almost reaching a point of struggle. You focused too much on the technique, neglecting emotional expression. When compared, your performance might seem ordinary during my turn."
Hearing this, Eric inadvertently frowned.
Indeed, "Muted Sunrise" is divided into four parts. Starting from the third part, it becomes more difficult to play. Many people have a hard time learning this.
Just now, Jane's playing started to be a little off from the third part.
However, in comparison, Jane's performance was considered acceptable.
When Jane heard Victoria's comment, she suddenly stood up.
The violin was her pride, and she couldn't tolerate such criticism.
In the live chat, Jane's fans were becoming agitated.
However, it kept ringing, and no one answered.
Victoria gritted her teeth and dialed again.
This time, it rang for a long time, and when she was about to hang up, she was finally connected.
Following the program's request, Jane turned on the speaker.
The old man's impatient voice came from the phone. "What?"
Jane respectfully greeted, "Master, I played SG's 'Muted Sunrise' on the show. You personally taught me this piece, but someone said I played poorly."
The old man's tone was casual, "People will say what they want."
Anxiously, Jane said, "Master, not only did that person say I played poorly, but he also said you didn't tell me the truth."
The old man paused for two seconds before quickly asking, "Who said that?"
Jane immediately reported, "Victoria Montgomery!"
From the other end, a silence of two seconds, then a loud bang as if something fell to the ground.
Jane quickly asked, "Master, are you alright?"
The old man replied with a trembling voice, "I'm coming over! Right away!"
When she hung up, Jane was overjoyed. Her master really loved her.
She looked at Victoria contemptuously, "My master will be here soon."
Victoria remained calm, his expression showing no urgency, "Good."
Jane sneered in her heart.
You can just keep pretending. When my master comes, you will regret it!
