Chapter 177: Chapter 174: Practice

After the interview, Hannah was on her way to the dormitory when she happened to see Tiffany Lynch practicing alone in the rehearsal room.

Most people were in the cafeteria at this time, it was mealtime.

Hannah stood by the window, watching the performance inside.

Tiffany was playing Ave Maria, the piece she was going to perform on her debut stage.

This is a classic violin piece, overall elegant and sacred. If played well enough, it can transport people to the solemn and old-worldly ambiance of a medieval church.

This delicate piece of music was being played so exquisitely, it was as if Tiffany was glowing. Her performance was pure and serene, eliciting a sense of longing in the observer.

Therefore, when Tiffany’s debut stage ratings came out, it ignited a lot of discussion again.

There’s no doubt that Tiffany’s violin skills were great, but for Hannah, who had heard Roy Yarn play the violin...

It was really noisy.

Just a straightforward show-off, not much technical brilliancy noticed by the trained ear. Those with a professional background may even snub it.

Of course, professional music critics generally aren’t that interested in these variety shows.

Like Roy Yarn for instance?

Hannah had no small part in Tiffany’s breakthrough performance in the original plot.

George River had made significant efforts to make Hannah, the substitute, more suitable for her role. Not only did he insist that Hannah’s dress style should lean towards Tiffany, who was considered mild and elegant, but he also sent her to learn Tiffany’s forte, the violin.

However, the original Hannah was not gifted in music. No matter how hard she tried, the music she created sounded as dreadful as someone sawing wood.

On several occasions, George River had high expectations when he came to listen to her practice, but he always left with a long face.

George River was not happy, and he began to realize that Hannah could never be Tiffany, even if she dressed like her.

Tiffany’s gentleness and manners were something Hannah could never emulate.

The original Hannah was too naive. Even though she didn’t like playing the violin, she forced herself to learn for George River which ended up with mediocre skills.

It was also foolish of her to insist on performing the violin on the debut stage after knowing that she will be on the same show as Tiffany.

The piece she initially chose was the one that she had practiced countless times for George River and could barely play decently. However, under the manipulation of the production team and Jackie Qualls, it was changed to the same piece as Tiffany’s.

The end result was...

Hannah’s performance highlighted Tiffany’s performance, which was just passable in the professional ear but was rendered excellent due to Hannah’s contrasting performance.

Unfortunately, the production team liked stirring up the pot, putting the two of them head-to-head for comparison. They even put up split-screen to contrast their performances. This led to netizens ridiculing Hannah for her faux pas, making her performance feel out of place.

Naturally, the most preposterous part that Hannah couldn’t wrap her head around was Jackie Qualls’ manipulation.

It was clear to everyone that Tiffany’s performance was superior. However, Jackie awarded grade ’A’ to Hannah and only grade ’B’ to Tiffany. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Even so, Jackie’s review of Tiffany was likely the longest comment he gave throughout the show. He expressed anticipation for her future performances and wished her to outdo her present skill level.

What he was saying was Tiffany was holding back. Despite the remarks, she still outperformed Hannah by far.
