Chapter 75: Playing (Part 2)
Next to the guild hall, Ye Xiong, editor-in-chief of "Weekly Boy", stood with two men.
"I haven't heard such a wonderful song in a long time." said a middle-aged man wearing glasses, and his eyes looked at Chen Jie with admiration: "The girl has a good voice, and this song can cause a sensation among young people."
He is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper with close relationship with Phoenix Company. His name is Wang Lei. He came to attend the thank-you meeting this time to see how valuable the report is.
Wang Lei was very satisfied. With just this song, he could give a front page news.
"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
He asked the old man beside him who was squinting his eyes. He was the owner of the museum here. Liu Hong was happy to hear it and clapped his hands at the rhythm from time to time.
"I'm over the age of liking this kind of song." After hearing the question, Liu Hong touched his beard and smiled: "But this song is good. The girl who sang can attract attention, but I think the boy who played the piano is amazing. It's strange. Why didn't I know that such a young professional pianist appeared in Ninghai?"
Liu Hong is old and although he is not a professional music judge, he can see that Meng Huo's piano level has entered the professional level.
"You said this song was composed by him?"
He turned his head and looked at Ye Xiong with confusion.
Ye Xiong nodded: "That's right, it was his song."
Liu Hong was amazed and sighed: "I am a young genius again. There are many geniuses that have emerged recently. This young man has excellent piano skills and composition skills. I think he has a bright future in the future."
Wang Lei agreed with this view and turned to laugh and said, "But when it comes to geniuses, who can compare with Teacher He Xi now?"
He said to Ye Xiong: "Editor Ye, when will you let me interview him?"
"I'm also very interested in this." Liu Hong's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Speaking of this song was picked out by Teacher He Xi's keen eyes. He is in the venue? Why don't you introduce it to us?"
"This... Teacher He Xi doesn't want to be known for the time being."
He was playing the piano on the stage, and Ye Xiong thought to himself, but he would not say it idiotically.
"That's the sentence again."
Wang Lei was a little disappointed, and Liu Hong shook his head and said, "You have protected him too much. How can young people grow up if they don't stand up to see the wind and rain? Are you afraid that he will be affected by public opinion and pressure in the future?"
"This is not."
Ye Xiong smiled bitterly: "Teacher He Xi is a person with a strong will. I believe he has the will to face difficulties and glory, but he is not stable enough now. I think it would be better to wait until he stabilizes before showing up."
The stability he refers to was that Li Qin did not agree, but to the other two people, it sounded like other meanings.
"It's not been half a year since his debut, and indeed, the foundation is unstable." Liu Hong said. The geniuses he has seen over the years are eager to stand up. He Xi's approach of not showing up is much more rational.
"Then let's wait a little longer, and look forward to him coming out soon."
"certainly."
Ye Xiong thought to himself that Meng Huo had been hiding his identity for a while.
His success is too fast and is becoming more and more eye-catching. Even if the company diverts his attention for him, he will definitely be found within a few months. He will hide it soon. Phoenix Company must be ready for promotional activities after He Xi's identity is exposed at any time, but before that, they must fulfill the confidentiality agreement with Meng Huo.
"This song is about to end?"
"Well, I'm rude, I'll go there."
Ye Xiong apologized to the two and walked towards the stage.
On the stage, Chen Jie's singing gradually slowed down. She felt a little reluctant. At the moment when the end was about to come, Chen Jie discovered for the first time that the performance ended was a regrettable thing.
She had no extra thoughts when practicing the song "time, after, time". Apart from the beautiful lyrics, the song was very ordinary. However, when she was performing, when Meng Huo's piano sounded, Chen Jie's heart was shocked.
The sound of the piano was simply cool and very natural, and the singing floated out of Chen Jie's mouth.
She felt like she was being guided by the piano and singing, and the sound she sang was so beautiful that she couldn't even believe it. "Time, after, time" with a piano and without a piano soundtrack are definitely two completely different songs.
"Meng Huo is really amazing..."
Thoughts flashed, Chen Jie slowly put down the microphone after singing the last sentence.
Meng Huo's piano sound flowed with the last notes, and the "time, after, time" ended at the moment when it penetrated the listener's heart.
The venue was silent for a moment.
“Ahhh~~It’s so cool!”
"I have to learn what this song is called!"
Fans suddenly burst out with amazing enthusiasm, and many people crowded to the stage, holding their phones in their hands to take pictures above.
"Don't squeeze me!"
"Goddess, let's have another song!"
"Young man, play another song, play another song!"
"What kind of band are you? I want to be your fans!"
Chen Jie and Meng Huo felt that the temporary stage was shaking and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Menghuo." Chen Jie walked to Menghuo and said, "Let's go quickly, it seems that the situation is wrong."
The crowd was so excited that it seemed to be surrounding them. Meng Huo frowned slightly, and he was a little late now.
"Sisters, come on!" Just as he was worried, suddenly, a scream appeared in the backstage. At the same time, dozens of women emerged from the crowd below, and they reached out and pushed the crowd away.
"Don't go over, they're members of our alliance."
"Boy, don't take photos, be careful that I will break your phone!"
"Let me listen to it. Our people are on the stage. If you want to know them, join our alliance first!"
The women stood in the middle of the stage and the crowd, widened their eyes and shouted, and savagely blocking the passage. The others saw that they were young and beautiful women, and they stopped one after another, and no one dared to rush forward with shamelessness.
"Haha, a big victory!"
Zhou Qian laughed backstage. Although the performance was not successful, Chen Jie was a member of their group. After this reader thank-you meeting, the eldest sister's favorite Zhengtai League will become He Xi's largest fan group. She has considered whether to modify the group name and allow male readers to join, and plans to discuss it with other sisters at night.
Meng Huo and Shen Jie successfully escaped the siege. They walked down from behind and Ye Xiong also arrived.
"Your performance is very good, but it's a little more disturbing." He smiled at the two of them and then comforted him: "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter and will not affect you."
Meng Huo nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
He breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to experiment with the effect of the adapted song in advance, but he did not expect that readers would have such a big reaction.
However, this also means that Meng Huo’s idea is correct, and he can continue to bring anime songs in the future.
"You guys wait."
Ye Xiong glanced at Meng Huo deeply, picked up the microphone and turned around and walked onto the stage.
