Liu Yan's idea is very simple, since she wants to highlight Li Xiaoru's piano, she is not easy to mix, she always uses the guqin and Li Xiaoru ensemble, first, to steal her limelight, and secondly, the piano competition is a piano solo, and the organizing committee does not welcome ensembles and duets.

So you have to use a solo to highlight Li Xiaoru's true level!

However, Li Xiaoru said that if she was the only one playing the piano there in the video, it would be very monotonous and boring, and netizens might not buy it.

Her concern is not unreasonable, many students in the Juilliard piano department also have their own channels on YouTube, they will upload videos of their own performances for each performance, and they will also share their usual etudes with netizens who like music, but these videos are not watched much, the publicity is not enough, and the lack of money to buy traffic is a reason, and the more important reason is that Juilliard aims to train piano students with the goal of being pianists, and these students are referred to as "academics", orthodox "academics" The piano pieces are almost all classical repertoire, even if they are new works in modern times, they are also in that style and key, and modern foreigners, especially young people, do not want to listen to these concertos, sonatas, XX major and minor. Unless the "academic" students have become famous and have a family, there will be fans.

It is not enough to simply use the piano version of ancient Chinese songs as a selling point, and Shen Mozhen performed ancient songs in Europe before, and people did not buy it. Carefully combing through these videos that they have become popular, they all have one thing in common - form innovation. It's not okay to stick to the rules, you have to add expressions that will dazzle the audience (both domestic and foreign), and you have to cater to the current trend.

Liu Yan pondered how the second video should be filmed, and she asked Li Xiaoru what other ancient songs she would play, and Li Xiaoru said "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" at that time.

The original version of "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" was a pipa song, which is generally not played on the piano, Li Xiaoru likes this piece very much, and tried to rearrange it by herself when she was in high school, and she felt good about herself.

Liu Yan immediately had a new idea in her mind, "You come to play "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", and I will write "Spring River Flower Moon Night". When Liu Yanchu was learning calligraphy with Professor Su, she recited Tang poems and Song Ci, which left a deep impression on her, and she liked it very much and wanted to write it for a long time.

Yesterday, Li Xiaoru did not go to school for the whole day.

"Chasing the Moon with Colorful Clouds" is so popular, the students have a lot of questions, and they were all waiting for Li Xiaoru to go to school, and then ask her which mansion she and Liu Yan took the video in? Ask her, what did Liu Yan do when she came to the United States, did he just shoot a video with her? Mr. Martin also wanted to see Liu Yan.

As a result, Li Xiaoru took leave at such an important moment!—— for the first time, after she came to the United States, she did not miss a class, in the eyes of other students, she is so diligent is not necessary, students are very loose in terms of attendance discipline, even if they don't come to class, the piano plays well, and the teacher will not say anything. What's more, she's just an exchange student, so it's okay to skip school casually!

What did Li Xiaoru do when she took leave?

She first went to Flushing, a Chinese gathering area, with Liu Yan to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. Writing calligraphy was Liu Yan's temporary idea, and of course she didn't bring these things. Yu Zhan told her that places like Chinatown in New York are similar to those in China, and she thinks there must be four treasures there. Li Xiaoru didn't worry about Liu Yan going alone, and she had been in New York for so long, she almost lived a life without leaving the door, she hadn't gone shopping, she hadn't been to Flushing, she also wanted to come out and let it go.

The almighty Chinatown has everything, they can easily buy things, have lunch there, and go back quickly.

After returning to Yu Zhan's apartment, Li Xiaoru began to practice the piano, she hadn't played "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for a long time, her hands were born, she wanted to find the feel, and she also had to cooperate with the rhythm of Liu Yan's writing, many foreign netizens praised the two of them for their seamless cooperation. In fact, in order to shoot this video well, Liu Yan wrote "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" 7 times, and Li Xiaoru played it countless times, during which the score was repeatedly revised, and finally it had the effect that netizens saw.

Seeing the real feedback, especially the comments of foreigners praising Chinese culture, they are proud and feel that their hard work is worth it.

Liu Yan's explanation is quite satisfactory to Jason, he actually likes this video very much, with his professional and critical eyes, Li Xiaoru plays the piano very well, as long as it is good music, he will not refuse, but he is more interested in Liu Yan's calligraphy, "I didn't know you were so versatile, and you didn't tell me before that you would write those beautiful Chinese characters." ”

Liu Yan said, "I can't brag about being able to do this and that, in Chinese culture, humility is a virtue." ”

"We believe in doing everything possible to show ourselves, this society is very competitive, pretending to be modest, will only let other people take away the opportunity," Jason said noncommittal, "Aren't you helping your friend show her talent right now? If you need my help, just say it, there are too many people in the world who can play the piano!"

Liu Yan smiled, "It's better to rely on yourself than to ask for others, I believe I can make her a 'pianist'." The implication is, "Come on, please spend money again, I will definitely not spend money." ”

Jason heard what she meant, and Liu Yan, like her boyfriend, was "calculating" in terms of money, but it was cute and not offensive, and he said in a seductive tone, "We can exchange it at the same price, and you don't have to pay." ”

Liu Yan: "?????"

Jason continued, "I heard that you are a calligrapher, that the Chinese characters you write are works of art, that the auction prices are very high, and that there are many Chinese celebrities who have collected your works, in fact, I have known Chinese calligraphy for a long time, but the soft brush can write exquisite lines and strange forms, I think of them as an abstract painting, I have seen a lot of calligraphy characters, and I have always wanted to find a font that satisfies me the most......"

When Liu Yan heard this, she thought that the condition of Jason's equivalent exchange was to ask her for a piece of calligraphy, she could think about it, she had sent works to her acquaintances before, if she gave "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" to Jason, and then he liked and commented on Li Xiaoru's video, Li Xiaoru should be able to be directly shortlisted for the preliminary round.

But Jason's next behavior shocked her, and he suddenly lifted his T-shirt, revealing his abdominal muscles, which frightened Liu Yan and immediately took a step back and turned around quickly.

Even if Liu Yan reacted quickly enough, she could see Jason's abdomen clearly, which was the kind of eight-pack abs that fitness experts like the most, and it was a healthy brown from the sun, very sexy, on par with Yu Zhan......

In addition to Yu Zhan, this is the second male sexuality, upper and half body that Liu Yan has seen.

The sky can be seen, she is absolutely single-minded to Yu Zhan, and she has no other intentions, but she feels that her eyes are blind and her vision is derailed!
