Most of them had become judges because of their love for music, not because of the fame they have garnered.
Whenever they saw people pursuing music for the fame and fortune that came after it, they couldn’t help but despise them in their hearts. Did they really think that everything could be handed to them this easily?
Therefore, they weren’t much opposed to the idea that they weren’t able to qualify for the next assessment.
Glory Orchestra was definitely a step up from all of their qualifiers then.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed. They glanced over at the person who had called them out. It was the leader of the Shanna Orchestra.
He was the one who had caused this controversy.
If he didn’t want to see Yao Tang fail, then they wouldn’t have this rule in the first place.
No one would dare argue with the judges, afraid that they’d simply be called unqualified.
After all, the Music Association was famous for holding grudges.
If they were remembered by these judges in the next round, then they may have already implicated themselves in any future dealings they had with the Association.
“Some people really just wanted to drag other people into the mud. Now, they’re mad that they get dragged down with them.”
“That’s right. Fortunately, Yao Tang was able to get up safe and sound.”
“She really is strong. However, with that person on the Shanna Orchestra, maybe I’m good with judgment. However, hopefully, there wouldn’t be any change of rules in the next assessment.”
Their decision immediately gained the approval of the people.
Hearing their words, Wu Hai flushed bright red.
He clenched his fists when he spotted some members of the Shanna Orchestra nodding along to their words.
“I really thought that Yao Tang had cheated, which is why I called the attention of the judges. It would’ve been against the rules.”
He took a deep breath. “I think everyone knows that the position of the concertmaster is different than that of a performer.”
“Besides, when Yao Tang had pointed out the problems just now, she may have been a good listener. But that doesn’t mean that she was a good concertmaster.”
“Is there really a problem with me sharing my thoughts? Besides, she may have copied President Tan’s piece too.”
The four-star judge narrowed his eyes. “Perhaps you don’t know, but the tone expressed in this song was her own rendition and not of Tan Xian’s.”
Wu Hai rolled his eyes.
However, before he could say anything, the judge immediately said, “As the concertmaster yourself, shouldn’t you have known that their own renditions still had strands from the original piece? That’s what makes them renditions.”
Wu Hai’s face turned bright red.
Being criticized in front of so many people, he clenched his fists. He immediately turned to the main culprit, Yao Ran.
Only now did he remember that he didn’t pass the assessment in the first place.
There was no need to argue with them.
The only reason why he had questioned the judges was her.
Yao Ran didn’t make a sound this entire time, but he spoke like a fool.
Feeling his dark gaze boring into her skull, Yao Ran felt a little uneasy, but she pretended that she didn’t know a thing.
She took a deep breath.
“Our leader only shared his thoughts. Now that the matter has been clarified, why are you being so aggressive?”
Her voice was understanding and slow.
