Chapter 552 Ye Xian Was Here

Ye Xian got up and walked to the piano in the corner of the stage, where Mei Mei had been waiting for a long time.

The young girl wore a white dress. Her tall stature made her appear graceful and poised standing next to Ye Xian, rather than petite.

The two bowed to the audience and then sat down at the piano.

Ye Xian gestured for Meimei to start, and the little girl's fair fingers landed on the piano keys.

……

The piano piece "Phantom Day" was played by Ye Xian on the anniversary of his parents' death. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, this piece expresses a feeling of sadness and being forgotten by life.

The story begins at the lowest point in Ye Xian's life. He is so oppressed by life that he can't stand up at all. He forces a smile, but he is trying to change himself and hopes that life will get better and better.

In the middle section, his efforts seemed to pay off; the music softened, conveying a sense of happiness tinged with regret and sorrow. At the end, the music returned to its starting point, the effort washed away by a night of torrents, leaving only a shattered heart.

This sorrowful atmosphere is a feeling that lingers in the hearts of many listeners, and it is precisely this feeling that has made this piece of music widely known throughout the world.

……

This time, Ye Xian and Mei Mei played a four-hand duet, but their understanding of the piece differed. The young girl had never experienced setbacks or witnessed life and death, so she couldn't express that kind of sadness. Therefore, she could only use her most skillful techniques to express it on the piano.

Ye Xian took advantage of the situation and transformed the piece into a wonderful and beautiful piece of light music.

The members of the exchange group present all had a certain appreciation for music, and many of them had heard the original version of "Phantom Day". Now, upon hearing this new four-hand piano piece, they couldn't help but relax.

Perhaps at the beginning, there was a feeling of not being able to breathe, because Ye Xian had not yet adjusted his emotions. But as the rhythm became more and more relaxed and the melody went into the endless distance, the depression, anxiety and irritability deep in the hearts of everyone present seemed to gradually dissipate.

Everyone took out their phones to record this rare scene.

It's worth noting that Ye Xian publicly stated his appearance fee in the UK was 100 million yuan per song. Although many people didn't agree with this high price, no one dared to deny Ye Xian's artistic level, nor did anyone dare to deny his current status in the global music industry.

So what if you don't have a big prize to win?

Ye Xian's remarkable achievements were made by hundreds of millions of fans worldwide; they were not fabricated or bought.

Even the wealthy set aside their inhibitions at such a rare and grand occasion.

Many of the wealthy women watched Ye Xian on the stage with sparkling eyes.

It has to be said that Ye Xian's looks are incredibly striking, appealing to both Eastern and Western tastes.

A wealthy woman asked a wealthy man from the Tang Dynasty across the street for Ye Xian's contact information. The wealthy man she was asked about was none other than Afif. He sourly offered Ye Xian's contact information to her while also cheekily adding her contact information.

"Ye Xian is usually quite busy, so as his good brother, I'm the one who handles some things. So, you can contact me anytime."

The wealthy woman nodded: "If it weren't for Mr. Ye Xian, you would be a very good choice."

Afif was struck as if by a heavy blow. For the first time in his life, he had even the slightest doubt about his own appearance and demeanor.

No way! I'm known as the most handsome man in the Great Food Province!

How could he possibly be inferior to that pretty boy Ye Xian?

Seeing that the wealthy woman had successfully obtained Ye Xian's contact information, several other women also gathered around, all asking Afif for Ye Xian's contact information, which made him feel both pain and pleasure.

Bro, for your sexual happiness, I'm going all out!

……

Charles, the music director of the Eagle Country exchange group, refused to engage in cultural exchange with Ye Xian after Ye Xian announced an appearance fee of 100 million yuan per song. However, after learning why Cooper was targeting Ye Xian in this way, he understood why Ye Xian treated the Eagle Country people differently.

Ye Xian and Mei Mei's duet today was nothing special to him, because he had heard the original version of "Phantom Day" and thought it was only a mediocre piece, not as amazing as the fans had praised it to be.

Now, after a few seconds of playing a duet with Meimei, Ye Xian quickly adjusted his emotions and transformed a sad piece into a wonderful one.

The audience felt as if they had entered a tranquil forest, lying on the grass, gazing at the starry sky.

A shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a dazzling trail of light. Fireflies danced in the air, and a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and grass caressed everyone's hearts. The lake beside them rippled with laughter.

This feeling of ease is like being in a dream world; it's an ultimate enjoyment.

One melody, two emotions, yet they blend together perfectly!

This is something only masters with extremely high piano skills and a profound understanding of music can achieve.

Charles felt completely convinced.

This made him quite regretful. During the half-month-long cultural exchange, he hadn't exchanged a single word with the other party. This feeling of missing a good opportunity made him glare at Cooper with great annoyance.

It's all because of that old bastard. If he hadn't angered Ye Xian, I wouldn't have lost a chance to communicate with the master.

……

In just four and a half minutes, the four-hand piano duet of "Phantom Day" came to a close, and the audience erupted in the loudest applause.

Ye Xian led Mei Mei to the front of the stage, bowed to everyone, and was about to step down when Mei Mei suddenly looked up and said, "Mr. Ye Xian, you recently left behind a piece called 'Old Town Road' for the music scene in the United States. I wonder if you have any other piano pieces?"

"Since it has been a year since you last composed a piano piece, as your fan, I am very eager to hear your new piano music."

This request was immediately met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, with many shouting, "That piece was fantastic! One more!"

Ye Xian looked down at the little girl and saw her blinking her innocent eyes, looking at him with admiration.

Ye Xian looked up at Team Leader Wang again, only to see that the other party made a gesture to him, meaning that he could do as he pleased, play if he wanted, or not play if he didn't.

Ye Xian then looked at the young girl: "If I said I couldn't do it and didn't have any music, wouldn't you be very disappointed?"

"Brother Xian, you can write a song called 'Dear, That's Not Love' in 10 minutes. You're a famously fast writer. I have absolute faith in you!"

The young girl had more confidence in Ye Xian than he did in himself.

"Okay, what can I do when I spoil my fans!"

Ye Xian thought for a moment and smiled, "I don't think I can bring myself to refuse a request from such an innocent and adorable fan."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again. Meimei stuck out her tongue at Ye Xian and whispered, "Please forgive my stubbornness. Because I don't know when I'll be able to share the stage with you again, I want you to leave behind a piano piece, like 'Old Town Road,' to teach the ignorant, vulgar, and rotten British music scene a lesson!"

Ye Xian immediately understood that this girl must have read too many chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) novels.

However, Ye Xian has been traveling in the United Kingdom recently and has had many feelings about it. He also wants to leave something behind.

Since we're already here, we should at least take a "been here" photo.

Thinking of this, Ye Xian slowly sat back down at the piano.
