Chapter: 948
“Well, come on. Maria's version of Ambush on All Sides is indeed different from what we all know, but you have to admit that it was amazing. Don't come after me, okay? I'm just telling how it is. I'm not even a fan of Maria or anything.”
“Is art permanent? Even traditions are bound to change over time, right? I think that if a new interpretation of a well-known piece of music is presented, the least we can do is give it a chance. And if it is indeed great, then we should give credit where credit is due."
"Iam a junior student at the Folk Music Department of the Broome Conservatory of Music. I've been playing traditional instruments for over a decade, but this is my first time hearing this version of Ambush on All Sides. And I have to say, whether it pertains to Maria's performance, or the new arrangement of the score, everything is wonderful! I daresay I'm excited to see her perform other pieces in the future.”
“Hey, where did these people come from? Are you guys hired by Maria? The point is that she disrespected traditional art and revised an ancient melody according to her whims. How can you praise such a deplorable act? Open your eyes. Sarah, who is a disciple of Mr. Felice Phillips himself, is speaking up against Maria. Why are you defending that presumptuous woman?"
“That's right! Sarah is not just some famous artist, she's also a professional musician. If there was nothing wrong with Maria's performance, then Sarah wouldn't have protested it. She even used her verified official account to call for awareness about the situation."
“Don't worry, I trust you, Sarah!"
“Me, too! I believe you, Sarah!"
“Me, too!"
"I'LL be on your side forever, Sarah!"
Sarah was in high spirits after reading her fans' comments.
She even Liked some of them, which naturally caused more buzz.
As things stood, the online community was generally in support of Sarah. Those who had tried to express their appreciation and approval of Maria's performance were silenced in a matter of minutes.
“So close," Sarah murmured in anticipation.
Once Felice and the Musicians’ Association backed her tweet up, Maria would be as good as destroyed. She would be known as the girl who had tarnished an ancient treasure due to her lofty ambitions.
And in turn, the team behind the film, Female Military Counselor would surely drop Maria as the female lead.
Eventually, the role would fall square into Sarah's lap!
Maria and Claire exchanged phone numbers.
As soon as Maria returned home, she received a message from Claire.
“Maria, guess what! I was chosen to play the role of Princess Cheyenne!"
In addition to the text, Claire had also attached a lot of emojis to express her joy and excitement.
“Congratulations!"
Although Maria's reply was short, her feelings were sincere.
The two women chatted for a while, with Claire mainly babbling on and on about the character she would play.
She was an avid fan of Mia and the book, "Female Military Counselor", so she was quite familiar with the character Princess Cheyenne.
