Chapter 147 How to Play This Tune? (First Update! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Early the next morning.

In the company's living room, Fang Bie and Su Mulin sat facing each other.

Fang Bie sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Su Mulin crossed his legs and hugged himself.

The dress was placed next to her.

"Rin, why are you back?"

Fang took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"You came back to find me secretly wearing my skirt, huh?" The young lady said expressionlessly. "Your legs are quite nice; maybe I can sell some of the photos. But you have a lot of leg hair; do you want me to shave it for you?"

"No need, no need," Fang Bie chuckled awkwardly. "It's all Liu Mang's fault! He was the one who told me to try to find the right feeling in the role."

"So you're wearing my skirt?"

"There's no one around, and besides, you're wearing my white shirt too, aren't you?"

"..." The young lady smoothed her hair. "I'm leaving tonight. Do you want to go shopping with me later?"

Fang asked, puzzled, "Why are we going shopping?"

"Buy a dress? If you like wearing them, I'll buy you a few more."

"No, no, no, I don't like it." Fang Bie shook his head. "I'm just trying to find a sense of immersion. Liu Mang is quite anxious right now. That guy from Hollywood said he wanted to challenge me, and Liu Mang feels that he is the company's vanguard and general, and he can't tarnish my reputation, so he's forcing me to find the feeling."

What are bros for?

Of course, it's specifically for shifting blame!

Su Mulin frowned slightly: "You can't find the feeling?"

"I can't find that same feeling you have around them," Fang Bie shrugged. "And can you even play me well?"

"sure."

Miss Su answered, then put her legs down and slumped back on the sofa, her eyes half-open and half-closed, her voice weak and feeble: "Xiao Lin, could you get me that bottle of cola from the fridge, please?"

Then she sat up straight and returned to her original position: "The first part was shouted, but the last 'thank you' was weak and listless."

Fang Bie: "."

Holy crap?!

You know what? It really does look like it!

But the question is, is this thing suitable for being shown in a movie?

"I don't think that's a good idea. You have to show me some of my good points, right?"

"That's none of your business, I know what I'm doing." Su Mulin stood up. "I'm back to get the sheet music for 'Seven Mile Fragrance.' If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Remember to watch the live stream."

"No, you really intend to sing 'Seven Mile Fragrance'?" Fang Bie also stood up.

"Yeah, right." Su Mulin turned around, "Then in the quarterfinals, you and I will sing 'Red Rose, White Rose' together, is that okay?"

"Um, I'll try my best. But could you teach me to play the piano before you leave?"

Fang Bie certainly didn't intend to sing "Red and White Roses" with her.

But Mr. Fang has his own way!

"Play the piano? Sure, but what can you learn in half a day?" Su Mulin asked, somewhat puzzled. "But you're such a good songwriter, don't you know how to play the piano?"

"I have a natural talent for music, but I haven't really played any instruments much," Fang Bie said calmly. "It's not difficult, you just need to teach me to recognize the piano keys."

"Alright, come with me."

Su Mulin led Fang Bie up to the second floor.

There is a special music room there, which is where Su Mulin usually practices the piano.

Fang Bie liked to sit there and listen to her play the piano, whether he had something to do or not.

Girls with good figures look really beautiful when they play the piano.

He was referring to temperament.

Upon arriving at the music room, Su Mulin sat down in front of the Steinway grand piano, and Fang Bie sat down directly next to her.

Lifting the piano lid, Su Mulin pointed to the black and white keys and explained to him, "Look at these black keys, aren't there two black keys next to each other, and then three black keys next to each other?"

"Mmm." Fang Bie nodded; he understood this.

Su Mulin placed her hand on the piano keys and continued, "Look, the white key in front of the two black keys is 1. From there, the seven keys are 1234567, which is also called Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti."

As she spoke, her slender fingers quickly traced the words over and over.

"Then it goes back to the higher key 1, which is 1234567 again, and it keeps repeating like that. The further to the left, the lower the pitch, and the further to the right, the higher the pitch, understand? The next key is the black key."

Fang interrupted her: "We don't need black keys, white keys are enough."

He rubbed his hands together: "Come on, let me try."

Su Mulin raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

She moved to her left to make room for Fang Bie.

Fang Bie sat in the middle of the room and then placed his hands on the piano.

He was looking for the middle note, 4.

Actually, his thinking was very simple.

That was something that was hotly debated online in his previous life: 4536251.

This is a chord progression, and it's said that many songs are written based on it.

He only remembers the chorus parts of many songs, doesn't he?

That's simple, just use this set of chords for everything, and then do a medley!

He closed his eyes and recalled the "Teach You to Play XXX Songs" videos he had watched in his previous life. The hazy memories gradually became clearer.

He remembered it was about three fingers.

So he tucked his index and ring fingers in and placed his thumb on the note 4. As a result, his middle and ring fingers landed on the keyboard with a white key between them.

He also remembered that his left hand also had a 4.

Then he used his left middle finger to count to the fourth position.

The left hand should follow the rhythm of the right hand. The left middle finger should be on the same note as the right thumb.

The only difference is that the left hand holds the chord down without moving until the right hand changes to the next chord.

The right hand flicked lightly.

So he played 4536251 once.

Something doesn't feel right.

Su Mulin frowned: "Try playing the notes with your right hand twice, and the last '1' note four times. Keep the previous notes the same with your left hand, and try pressing down both '1' notes on the left and right sides for the last '1' note."

Fang Bie readily accepted the good advice.

Ok?

It feels much smoother now.

I've learned it!

Seeing him laugh, Su Mulin asked, puzzled, "What's the significance of that chord you played?"

After practicing the movements several more times until he was familiar with them, Fang Bie chuckled and said, "Watch your brother Fang perform a magic trick for you!"

So he used this method, looping the chord several times, and then, just as Su Mulin was getting a little impatient, Fang Bie suddenly started singing.

We hugged back to back

Use silence to roar

Love doesn't have time to grow old

A joke that was buried in the flames of war.

After the two choruses are sung, the chord progression 4536251 is also finished.

Then Fang Bie suddenly changed the song:

"Ready to go, three two one, I'm always online."

One-on-one with you, love begins to spread.

We've connected across the Milky Way, oh~~

He then started looping chords again, while switching to a different song:

The bittersweet experience of cultivating love

Learn to let go of past desires

How difficult it is for us to forget our beliefs.

Then he immediately followed up with the first two lines of the chorus of "Keywords" and "Those Dreams You Take Risks".

That's right, Fang Bie did a medley of JJ Lin songs.

However, he could only do a medley, because he only remembered these classic choruses.

After he finished singing, he stopped.

Perhaps it was because Miss Su was sitting right next to him, but in any case, he performed quite well today.

Yes, she perfectly demonstrated her "KTV singing prowess".

Fang Bie turned around and saw Su Mulin staring blankly at him, her eyes seemingly gleaming in the light.

After a long pause, she said softly, "These...are all your new songs?"

"Not really," Fang Bie smiled. "Actually, I just remembered it."

When he starts singing the chorus, he can't help but reminisce about his youthful days of conquering karaoke bars.

With more memories, he could recall a little more song fragments.

So, he just wrote it on a whim? Su Mulin suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

She was quite proud of herself for having finished listening to the songs Fang Bie had left for her, feeling that she had gotten closer to Fang Bie.

But now, compared to him, what am I?

If given time, Fang Bie could write songs of the same caliber as the ones she hummed.

But it's absolutely impossible for her to have written so many classic songs in just a short time.

Moreover, Fang Bie only used the same short, very ordinary chord progression, which further demonstrates his outstanding talent.

He was even just a beginner at playing the piano.

No! Not even a beginner!

I thought I had a pretty good talent for the piano, but compared to Fang Bie...

If he could have learned piano carefree as a child like I did, then he would be...

She thought a lot, but Fang Bie became increasingly uncomfortable.

What's wrong, young lady?

Why aren't you saying anything and just staring at yourself?

And she even let out a maternal smile while watching it?

And her eyes.

Pampering? Tenderness?

What the hell is this?

He decided to break the strange atmosphere that made him uncomfortable.

"Rin, you should take these songs and finish listening to them too."

Su Mulin tilted her head slightly: "Don't be so malicious. You're thinking of watching me finish a piece that's inferior to yours while secretly laughing at me, aren't you?"

Tsk, why is Miss's tone so strange? Fang Bie shivered uncomfortably because of the weirdly affected tone, and laughed, "No, actually that's all I remember. It will still take your talent to make them shine again."

If he could remember everything, he would have made money by selling songs long ago. Why would he bother making games?

I might even become a "Gold Medal Producer" someday.

When they no longer want to sell songs, they can still go on various music variety shows as guest judges and make easy money.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Su Mulin didn't say anything more.

She accepted Fang Bie's kindness, but she wouldn't write her own name as the lyricist and composer because she felt she wasn't qualified.

She picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the actual sheet music and lyrics she had just heard. She stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to Beijing to prepare. Next week, I'll have my dad register the private jet at the airport in advance. I'll let you know then, remember to come."

Fang Bie also stood up: "Aren't you going to stay for lunch?"

"I'm not eating anymore. I'm going back to practice 'Seven Mile Fragrance' and 'Red and White Rose' some more. You remember to practice too." The young lady left without looking back.

She is a girl as free as the wind.

Fang saw her downstairs and into her car before going back home.

Was he going to practice singing?

Of course not! He needs to go back and catch up on his sleep!

Anyway, he didn't really plan to go up and sing when he was in the top eight.

When a group of professional judges arrive, will he embarrass himself with his karaoke-level singing skills?

But he also had ways to please the young lady.

He will go to practice the piano in a couple of days and try to master 4536251.

Then, on the day he went to the capital, he caught a severe cold and developed a high fever.

It's normal for my voice to be hoarse and my performance to be subpar.

But should we have JJ Lin's medley or Jay Chou's medley?

This plan is flawless!
