This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 275 I once thought the piano was an elegant sport
These past few days, the internet has been flooded with discussions about "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too," but nobody is discussing "The Beginning."

"This is what a small company does. They produced a web series but didn't even do any promotion. How can anyone watch it if they don't promote it? Alright, it's time to let Jiang Yixuan get out there and make some noise."

Xingyao Media has been keeping Jiang Yixuan low-key all this time.

Jiang Yixuan did not participate in many public events.

The last incident involving the alternate account really caused quite a stir.

This resulted in Jiang Yixuan being ridiculed by a large number of netizens as soon as he appeared.

Now that so much time has passed, netizens have almost forgotten about it.

Jiang Yixuan can now participate in activities again.

With such a popular drama starring him, how can he make money for Xingyao Media if he doesn't come out and participate in events?

Guo Weicheng has only one feeling right now.

This drama is a sure thing!
Based on this data alone, how can Lu Ran's "The Beginning" compete with it?

Regardless of how much inflated these figures are, let's just talk about whether the figures are high or low.

Even if Lu Ran wanted to, he couldn't reach that high.

Lu Ran had already finished his morning workout and returned to his room.

After tidying up, Lu Ran played the piano in the morning sunlight and recorded a video that he would post on Douyin.

After editing, he posted the video on Douyin (TikTok).

"A wonderful performance of the theme song 'Canon in D Major' from the movie 'The Beginning'. We welcome everyone to play this piece on different instruments."

Lu Ran casually brought up a topic: everyone playing Canon together.

Canon can be played not only with violin and piano, but also with other instruments.

The point of shaking your hands is to create interaction; it's best if everyone gets lively.

After the video was released, the studio also uploaded the official version of Canon to the music platform.

Lu Ran turned on his computer and started reading "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too".

He needs to see if the show is as good as netizens say.

After Lu Ran posted his video on Douyin, his fans received notifications one after another.

Some fans might be scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) when they suddenly come across Lu Ran's latest video.

"Lu Ting has finally released a new song, and it's actually an instrumental piece."

"Was this taken at home?"

"I must say, this instrumental music is quite nice."

The video begins with the most famous part of the entire Canon, which is also the part with the bell sound in "The Beginning".

But the focus of netizens is completely different.

"Director Lu, you filmed this at home, right? To be honest, are you in a relationship? Did your girlfriend film this for you?"

“Director Lu is a big star, okay? He must have an assistant. He can have his assistant take the photos. Just have that bearded guy take them.”

"It doesn't look like it was taken by an assistant; the camera movement is very skillful."

A group of people started discussing it in the comments section.

Soon after, Lu Ran posted a picture in the comments section.

"No need for guessing, this is a photo I took myself. As for how I moved the camera while playing the piano with my hands, see the picture."

In the picture, Lu Ran is sticking his butt out, his phone is connected to a selfie stick, the selfie stick is clamped between his buttocks, and the stick is tilted to the left side of his body, so that the phone camera is pointing at Lu Ran's hands as he plays the piano.

Upon seeing this picture, netizens couldn't help but laugh.

"Not a buddy? You might as well have your assistant take the picture!"

“Who says there’s no assistant? Director Lu’s assistant is Piyan Jadekin.”

"I thought of countless answers, but I never expected this one. You've really got your hands on this phone."

"I just wanted to watch a video, I didn't want to know so much."

"Director Lu, don't you have a more respectable filming method?"

"I used to think that playing the piano was an elegant sport."

"This is the legendary 'buttock-level camera movement'."

"Director Lu, why don't you re-upload the video and include how you filmed this scene? It'll definitely go viral."

Lu Ran scrolled through the comments from netizens.

Am I easy?
What kind of buttock-level camera work?

If I hadn't been unable to find someone at the last minute, would I have gone through all this trouble?
But when he saw the last suggestion from a netizen, Lu Ran hesitated for three seconds.

He's made up his mind, that's how it'll be done!
What's wrong with sacrificing my image for the sake of promoting "The Beginning"? As long as it makes the people happy, that's all that matters.

Lu Ran re-edited the footage left over from the previous shoot and created a new video, which he then uploaded to Douyin.

The video shows two scenes: the upper part shows his hands playing the piano, and the lower part shows him taking a selfie with a phone stick clipped to his buttocks.

After the video was posted, netizens couldn't hold back any longer.

"Director Lu, are you sticking your butt out so high because you're waiting for me?"

"This thing can tighten your anus and play the piano, no wonder it's called the anal piano."

“Director Lu, our relationship hasn’t reached that point yet. This video of yours is a bit too ambiguous.”

The netizens, watching the video and listening to Canon in D, gave it a thumbs up and shared it with their friends.

After the initial excitement, everyone's attention shifted to Canon.

Even an ordinary person who doesn't understand music would find Lu Ran's performance of this piece very beautiful.

The only problem with the video is that Lu Ran is playing the piano with his butt sticking out.

Netizens clicked on Lu Ran's first video.

This video only shows Lu Ran's hands as she plays the piano.

As the videos became increasingly popular on Douyin, more and more people flocked to Lu Ran's homepage.

You know, people in this world have all sorts of strange hobbies, and there are some people who are hand fetishists.

Lu Ran's perfect bone structure not only changed his facial bones, but also the bones of his entire body.

The bones in the hands have also changed.

This makes his hands look very beautiful.

"A good melody deserves a good hand, and I'm impressed with Director Lu's hands!"

"I wish I could use these hands to do something else."

"If you don't watch the previous video, this video is watchable."

"What kind of weird and wonderful things are in the comments section? Doesn't anyone care about Lu Ting's piece?"

At this moment, in a music academy in Beijing, Wang Baoan, the representative of Beijing, was listening to Lu Ran play a short, thirty-second piece of music on his phone.

Although her name is Wang Baoan, she is not a security guard, but a female student at a music academy.

However, after chatting in the group for so long, no one knew she was a woman.

Wang Baoan kept playing Lu Ran's 30-second piece of music on a loop.

To others, it just sounds nice, but to her, the piece contains a hidden meaning.

Wang Baoan immediately searched on a music app and found the full version of "Canon".

After clicking play, music began to play softly.

When it was a little over a minute in, the instrumental music that Lu Ran had been playing while shaking his hand started playing.

Wang Baoan felt refreshed all over.

After listening to the entire piece, Wang Baoan savored it carefully.

Based on her existing knowledge of music theory, this piece of music is quite extraordinary.

The seemingly simple melody conveys a sense of profound simplicity.

That's just how some things are.

Just like the saying goes, "If you haven't seen me, it's like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you have seen me, it's like an ant seeing the blue sky."

Ordinary listeners simply find the piece pleasant to listen to.

But after comparing her knowledge of Canon with this piece, Wang Baoan was utterly amazed.

She wasn't unfamiliar with canon-style music; on the contrary, she had heard it many times.

The downside of this musical form is that it can easily become tiresome.

To put it simply, it's nothing more than the repetition of voice parts; it's easy to write, but difficult to do well.

Lu Ran's ability to innovate and create such a new version of Canon, building upon existing Canon music, is a testament to his talent.

Writing a piece like this is like dancing a ballet while wearing handcuffs and shackles.

However, Wang Baoan still had some doubts about the piece of music.

This is beyond her ability to solve; she needs to consult her teacher.

I also recommended this piece, "Canon," to her teacher.

The teacher will be very surprised!
As her teacher, she could also help Lu Ran increase his fame in the music industry.
