Chapter 296: Sad and Gentle, with Lingering Lingering Sounds

Backstage, guests, maids of honor, and staff were coming and going, making it a chaotic scene.

In such a slightly noisy environment, Huo Mingjie squatted there with a calm expression, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the strings of the guzheng in front of him, and then started to tune it directly.

The organizer of this movie premiere probably found a guzheng temporarily, with a mediocre timbre and inaccurate pitch.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. Guzheng is not well-known these days. It is a completely niche instrument. Many people can’t even tell the difference between guzheng and guqin. This was found in a hurry, which is normal.

In other words, the Chinese-style music that I have created in the past two years, Jay Chou, likes to add such musical instruments with Chinese classical elements.

Later, it wasn’t until the emergence of the ancient style circle, and we gradually became more culturally confident, that these classical musical instruments became widely known...

Director Jay Chou on the side watched Huo Mingjie start to adjust the tune directly with only his ears. He suddenly became interested and squatted aside to watch.

He plays many musical instruments, including the guzheng! In the official MV for "Chrysanthemum Terrace" this time, there is even a clip of him playing the guzheng at the beginning.

After the tuning was completed, Huo Mingjie fiddled with his fingers, and there was a mellow and harmonious zither sound, as clear and melodious as a clear spring flowing.

Noticing Huo Mingjie's coherent and smooth technique when plucking the strings, and carefully identifying the tone that sounded at this time, Jay Chou couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he nodded to Huo Mingjie and praised:

"Very accurate!"

Direct tuning with this hand can actually fully demonstrate Huo Mingjie's level!

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie smiled politely and modestly.

It is only because of his own skills that he can directly distinguish the tones. If he uses another instrument, he will be blinded.

But Jay Chou claims to have an absolute sense of pitch, and he can truly distinguish various sounds with his ears. There is no comparison!

At this time, Jay Chou seemed to be interested and continued to ask Huo Mingjie:

"I've heard the music you play, and it's really good. Have you learned it specifically?"

Regarding this question, Huo Mingjie blinked his eyes and could only avoid the more serious matters and said in an uncertain tone:

"I studied guzheng for a while..."

When he was acting before, Huo Mingjie learned a little bit about fingering in order not to be criticized by the discerning audience in the future.

Well, so it’s not entirely a lie to say that I have learned guzheng...

"Then you are really talented. We can talk about it later!" Jay Chou said with great interest at this time.

Huo Mingjie heard this and said with a smile:

"I can also play some guzheng, but I can't compare with Zhou Tianwangzi!"

Director Jay didn't care about Huo Mingjie's humble tone and continued:

"Then we shouldn't use the previously recorded music this time. Playing it live will be better!"

Huo Mingjie was invited to assist this time just because he played the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" on the Internet. It became extremely popular after it was made into a MV by netizens.

After all, he is an actor by profession and has never shown his skills in person. The organizers of the premiere are inevitably a little worried, so they really plan to use the audio recorded directly from the Internet.

But now that Jay had witnessed Huo Mingjie's little show, he immediately believed in Huo Mingjie's ability, and he was no longer even willing to use the recorded audio to do any "performance-style performance"!

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I can do anything. I'm here to assist today. Just follow the organizer's arrangements."

Anyway, even if he is sitting on the stage and "performing", he still has to play a song live. So whether it's playing audio in the background or playing for him on the mic, it's actually the same.

When Director Jay heard this, he nodded immediately, then simply stood up and found the staff around him to communicate.

After all, the performance at the premiere was not a formal performance. If you have to say it, it's more like having fun in private and enlivening the atmosphere. In fact, the requirements are really not that high.

Even if there is a slight mistake, no one will hold on to it.

So when Jay Chou took the initiative to ask Huo Mingjie to play live during the performance, the organizer thought about it and did not insist.

As a result, Huo Mingjie got a real opportunity to perform on stage.

But again, for him, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false!

After waiting for a while, a staff member hurriedly ran over and helped lift the guzheng table and chairs onto the stage. At the same time, they also led Huo Mingjie and Jay Chou to come on stage.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, there was a burst of cheers and applause in the premiere venue, and the atmosphere became obviously warm and noisy.

There were even many audience members attending the premiere who stood up and waved to the stage.

You know, these cheers and applause are basically not directed at Huo Mingjie.

Although Huo Mingjie is now quite famous, he is still barely known to everyone.

But compared with the King Zhou in the music industry next to him, there is still a huge gap in terms of popularity and influence.

Huo Mingjie followed Jay Chou silently and waited until the staff had arranged the tables, chairs and guzheng before Shi Shiran sat down.

Chairman Jay Chou took the microphone, glanced at Huo Mingjie beside him, and nodded slightly.

Huo Mingjie immediately raised his hand and brushed his fingertips against the strings.

The smooth and melodious melody began, and the sound of the zither was low and soothing, with a touch of sadness, but also touching!

Almost as soon as the music started playing, the originally noisy venue immediately became quiet.

"Your tears are weak and hurt. The pale moon crescents and hooks the past..."

Jay Chou's voice was low and his words were surprisingly clear. He whispered the sad story into everyone's ears while singing softly to the delicate and sad tune.

This tune is already a very moving tune, but now under Huo Mingjie's performance, it is even more touching.

Amidst the music, there was an indescribable sadness and sadness that immediately rose in the hearts of everyone present.

And as the music rises and falls gracefully and gradually ends, the story comes to an end.

"...The north wind is making the night rough, and your shadow keeps cutting, leaving me alone in a pair on the lake..."

The autumn wind blows, but the large chrysanthemums in full bloom have covered up all the blood and filth. Everything before seemed to have disappeared, and only the sound of the guzheng was vaguely mixed with sadness and sadness.

The people present were all sad and melancholy, but in the end they just let out a sigh.

With the sound of "zheng", the piece of music ended completely, but there seemed to be lingering sounds.

Throughout the premiere venue, everyone was still immersed in the faint melancholy and sadness. They actually became silent and didn't react at all for a long time.

Yeah, is this a cold start?
