This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 274 Playing the Violin Like an Erhu
The full name of the piece "Canon" is "Canon in D Major".

In the music world, canon is a musical form.

The characteristic of this type of music is that each part repeats itself in a regular manner, which is understood by the general public as a loop.

During a musical performance, the key can be changed so smoothly that the audience is completely unaware of the transition from the end to the beginning.

The choice of Canon as the ringtone in "The Beginning" also reflects this intention.

The beginning of the story is a loop, and so is this ringtone.

This piece, "Canon in D Major," is a representative work among canons and also the most famous one.

Later on, because this piece was so representative and famous, people simply called it Canon.

The original style of the whole piece was gentle and tender, and it sounded quite nice.

However, to record this piece, we need to find a few good violinists.

Lu Ran sent a message to Meng Yichuan first.

"I'll make some preparations here, which should be of some use."

Instrumental music is still quite popular in the world.

In fact, it is popular not only in this world, but also on Earth.

After all, with the advent of the video era on the internet, background music (BGM) is indispensable in video production.

Although people may not understand music, they often listen to music while watching videos, and good music can leave a deep impression on listeners.

Once released, a piece like "Canon" is sure to become a popular song on short video platforms.

If we put the theme song from "The Beginning" on the official website, it will be hard for netizens not to notice it.

After talking with Meng Yichuan, Lu Ran called Li Quan.

"Brother Quan, I need to record some instrumental music and I need to find a good violinist. Do you know anyone like that?"

"Are you sure it's a violin?" Li Quan asked again.

"Yes, it's a violin."

"To be honest, I do know someone who plays the violin very well. You know her too. If you ask her to play, it probably won't cost you any money."

Lu Ran immediately refused.

"You don't want something for free, and cheap things are never good. You're not talking about Chen Ke, are you? She can play the violin too!"

Li Quan: "Why do you keep mentioning Chen Ke in front of me?"

Hearing Li Quan's slightly shy voice, Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

Brother Quan, you're in danger.

Have you been hooked?

"Who are you talking about?"

"President Shen."

"what?"

"Mr. Shen's violin skills are at a level suitable for public performance."

"Then why haven't I heard President Shen mention this?"

"It is said that Ms. Shen's teacher is a very famous violin master in China. I won't say who it is. After Ms. Shen finished her studies, she played the violin like an erhu, which was discovered by her teacher. The teacher told her that she should not say that she can play the violin when she goes out in the future, and if anyone asks who her teacher is, she should not say his name."

After Li Quan finished speaking, Lu Ran accepted it naturally without any surprise.

Shen, the wealthy woman, is truly capable of doing something like playing the violin like an erhu.

"I'll contact Mr. Shen."

After hanging up the call with Li Quan, Lu Ran sent a message to Shen Fupo.

"Sister Qingyi, I have a favor to ask!"

Shen Qingyi is currently leaning back in her office chair playing on her phone.

Things at the company have moved forward, and for her, the most important thing as the boss is actually to transfer money.

She replied quickly after seeing Lu Ran's message.

"what's up?"

Lu Ran explained his thoughts.

He didn't actually need to find Mrs. Shen; he was just asking out of politeness.

If Mrs. Shen doesn't have time, then forget it.

But if Mrs. Shen wants to feel involved, this would be perfect.

Shen Qingyi's eyes lit up after reading the message.

"How did you spot me playing the violin in the crowd at a glance?"

Lu Ran politely replied, "I asked Brother Quan."

"Oh."

Shen Qingyi checked the time; it was already 5 PM.

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"No need, this piece isn't difficult, all you need is a violin."

"Then I'll come find you now."

Upon seeing this message, Lu Ran was completely stunned.

What do you mean, "come find me now"?

Shen Qingyi put down her phone and took out the case containing the violin from the cabinet in her office.

She opened the box and inspected it, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Old friend, it's finally time for you to make your move. Let's work together to ensure a successful start."

After packing up her violin, Mrs. Shen headed straight for Lu Ran's Wutong Garden.

"The Beginning" is the first web series produced by Chang'an Entertainment. Shen Fupo doesn't want to see the web series fail, so she will definitely lend a hand in its promotion.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran was preparing the score for "Canon" in his recording studio.

Besides recording the official version with Shen Fupo, he also plans to release a piano version on Douyin.

There is no piano in his room, but there is an electric piano, which is enough.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.

When Lu Ran opened the door, he saw Mrs. Shen standing at the door with her violin on her back.

Shen, the wealthy woman, wore a black coat, her cool face adorned with a gentle smile, and her long, flowing hair completed the picture of a perfect goddess.

If you didn't know what she had done.

After Shen Qingyi entered, she first looked up at the ceiling light in the living room.

The ceiling light has a red five-pointed star on it, giving the whole living room a serious atmosphere. "It seems a bit more upscale than my ambient light."

The rest of the place was pretty much the same as when she last visited.

The wealthy woman looked at Lu Ran: "Shall we start directly, or go through a process first?"

"Just get started."

Lu Ran entered the recording studio, followed closely by Shen Fupo.

Then, Mrs. Shen casually closed the door to the recording studio.

This room is currently soundproof.

Lu Ran showed the prepared sheet music to Mrs. Shen.

Canon has four parts, and each part can be recorded separately.

Shen Qingyi nodded after looking at it for a while, and then took out the violin.

However, she didn't rest the violin on her shoulder, but rather placed it upright on her lap.

This is the posture for playing the erhu.

Lu Ran wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Lu Ran was a little surprised when Shen Qingyi started playing the violin.

Although the posture was unseemly, Shen Fupo's violin skills were indeed professional, at a level where she could make a living from it, or even higher.

The two spent several hours in the recording studio to finish recording "Canon".

By the time we finished, it was already evening, and it was dark outside.

However, neither Lu Ran nor Shen Qingyi were very hungry.

After listening to the finished product one last time, Mrs. Shen packed up the violin.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to look at Lu Ran.

"I have a question. My dad has a friend, who is also my uncle. He found someone to teach his son to play the piano, but his son isn't learning well. Do you have any good ideas?"

This is what that uncle asked when he came to Mrs. Shen's house last time.

Shen Qingyi couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

When it comes to learning, no matter what you're learning, external forces won't be very effective if you don't take the initiative to learn.

"How old is your uncle's son?"

Fifth grade of elementary school.

What are your family's financial circumstances like?

"Relatively wealthy".

Where do you live? In a villa or an apartment complex?

"In the residential area."

"Does your uncle have the ability to buy the apartment upstairs from his own house?"

Mrs. Shen was now a little confused.

"I can buy it, but what does that have to do with learning piano?"

"It does matter, of course it does matter."

After asking these questions, Lu Ran already had the answer in his mind.

"First, have your uncle buy the apartment upstairs. Then move the piano near the window. Next, find a girl who can play the violin, and her voice must be beautiful. Have this girl play the violin upstairs every day while your uncle's son practices. Whatever the boy plays, the girl should play along with him. After they finish practicing, remember to have the girl say 'See you tomorrow.'"

The rich woman's eyes lit up more and more as she listened.

"In this way, my uncle's son will practice the piano diligently so that he can play a duet with this girl."

Lu Ran nodded: "That's right. Remember, don't get caught. Your uncle's son will definitely knock on the upstairs door or wait upstairs for the girl."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "I understand!"

No wonder Lu Ran is a student at Qincheng University; his brain is really sharp.

As for why this uncle's son can never find his "white moonlight" (ideal love), what does that have to do with Lu Ran?

Just tell me if you've mastered the piano.

After hearing this answer, Mrs. Shen hurriedly left.

She wanted to immediately tell her uncle about this great idea.

They could even have her violin-playing best friend play the role of the ideal woman; that job would definitely be quite lucrative.

After the wealthy woman left, Lu Ran quickly processed the master tape of "Canon".

I'll have the employees upload this tomorrow after we start work.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask Sister Qingyi to film the video for me."

Lu Ran looked at the electric piano in his room.

He also wants to record a video and post it on Douyin.

Shooting this kind of video always requires some camera movement; if you're playing the piano with both hands, you won't have your hands holding the phone.

But for Lu Ran, these are not problems.

There is no problem he cannot solve.

This brain of yours isn't for nothing!
After thinking for a few minutes, Lu Ran came up with a solution.

The next morning, Guo Weicheng, the boss of Xingyao Media, came to the office.

His assistant had already placed the new data report on his desk.

The drama "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" officially premiered a few days ago.

This drama is of paramount importance to Xingyao Media, and Guo Weicheng is keeping a close eye on its progress every day.

After reviewing the report, Guo Weicheng smiled.

"Not bad, not bad, there wasn't a single player who could compete with us in the same period."

The drama "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" is extremely popular online, with each episode currently exceeding ten million views.

This is an absolute blockbuster.

With two top influencers joining forces, they are invincible.

If it weren't for the fact that "Tomorrow I Want to See You" has a lot of episodes and wouldn't be able to finish updating in a short time if it weren't released earlier, Guo Weicheng would have liked to release this drama on the same day as "The Beginning".

Guo Weicheng called his assistant over.

"How's it going at the beginning?"

"They didn't do much promotion, relying mainly on organic traffic, and there wasn't much discussion about the show among netizens."
