"Playing the piano today!"

Miss Luo Quan entered the piano room, locked the door, and started the live stream.

The soundproofing of the piano room was quite good; although one could hear the sounds of students practicing in the hallway, once inside the room, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Miss Luo Quan could even hear her own breathing.

Pulling the curtains over a bit, the brightness in the room dimmed slightly.

Miss Luo Quan sat on the piano chair, placed her phone in the empty space above the keys, and aimed the camera at the keys and her hands.

Once the live stream started, in less than a minute, there were dozens of hits; many people saw the Bilibili push notification and immediately entered the live stream room.

Speaking of which, after the high-intensity live streaming during the summer vacation, Miss Luo Quan hadn't streamed for nearly ten days, which made the fans who had been watching her streams very unaccustomed to it.

During the summer vacation, every morning when she woke up, she could see Miss Luo Quan's face, hear her voice, and see her smile when she opened her phone; this was a very happy thing.

However, after school started, not only did she have to get up early every day, but she couldn't see Miss Luo Quan's live stream either; this huge sense of emptiness made many fans feel tortured.

Especially some fans who were still in high school; without their phones and without Miss Luo Quan, they felt uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, she finally started a live stream today, but the time chosen wasn't very good; it was actually after lunch, when many people had planned to take a nap.

"I'll just play the piano today, no singing." Miss Luo Quan didn't play immediately, but took out the sheet music and pen from her schoolbag.

She had promised her counselor in the morning to participate in this year's Shangyi Music Competition, and she had already chosen the piece; she would take this opportunity to draft it out.

This piece could be a piano solo or an orchestral work. It had many parts, and while the melody was beautiful, it also achieved a sense of distant artistic conception and grand momentum, making it very suitable for appearing in large scenes.

However, she definitely couldn't play it in front of so many fans now; for a competition piece, it was better to leave some suspense.

The live stream started, and the title said to listen to her play the piano, but after the fans entered, they only saw her hunched over the piano writing music.

Comments:

"Is she doing homework?"

"Isn't there military training? Did she skip it?"

"Miss Luo Quan is an exchange student, no need for military training."

"Then how did she dance with Wen Xia at the welcome party a few days ago?"

"There's such a thing? Is there a video?!"

"There are many on Bilibili, just search for it."

"I've seen it, the legs of my two wives are really long and white."

"You're dreaming."

……………………

After writing for about five minutes, Miss Luo Quan put the pen aside and straightened her body.

The draft was done; there shouldn't be any problem using this work to participate in the preliminary round.

After passing the preliminary round, she would then complete the remaining parts.

"It's written, now I'll start playing; since it's practice, everyone don't request songs, I'll play whatever I want, okay?" Miss Luo Quan lay on the keys, looking at the camera and asking.

"No problem, I'm fine with you just looking at me like this, even if you don't play."

"Lying like that for an hour, Miss Luo Quan's lumbar spine will twist into a twist."

"Play whatever you want, I'm mainly here to see my wife."

"This world is too scary, everyone is thinking about my wife."

"Did you guys partner up to open a Peach Blossom Garden?"

A group of people in the comments were scrambling to declare sovereignty; Miss Luo Quan just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Being a celebrity, especially one with high looks, basically always goes through this.

Male celebrities are called "husband" by female fans, and female celebrities are called "wife" by male fans; it is actually an expression of love for their idols. Of course, it doesn't exclude those who really have such thoughts.

After seeing it for a long time, Miss Luo Quan basically adapted to it, just taking it as a term of endearment.

Placing her hands on the keys, Miss Luo Quan exhaled gently and then began to play; she played "Miss Luo Quan's Canon," which had earned her great acclaim in the classical music world.

This song had now officially become the common bell for the end of class in primary and secondary schools in China, and many schools had replaced theirs.

As one of the few pieces of music in China that could cause a sensation worldwide, "Miss Luo Quan's Canon" had quite significant meaning.

Although a piano piece couldn't stir up too many waves in this fast-paced society, and after the popularity passed, few people would mention it again.

But works of this level never have to worry about being forgotten; instead, they will shine even brighter with the passage of time.

Especially after becoming the school's broadcast bell, this was basically an official certification of a masterpiece.

Many students' enlightenment in classical music was actually the school's bells for the start and end of class, but at that time they were too young and didn't have a good aesthetic concept of this music.

They just felt that the bell for the start of class was annoying, the bell for the end of class was pleasant, and the most beautiful of all was naturally the bell for the end of the school day.

And now, "Miss Luo Quan's Canon" was popularized nationwide and would surely become the memory of a generation.

Besides this, the Ministry of Education also planned to include this piece in high school music textbooks, although music classes in most high schools were just decorations on the curriculum, and many students probably hadn't even seen their music teacher after three years of study.

However, for Miss Luo Quan to be included in high school music textbooks before she was even twenty years old was definitely a great honor; it was said to be the People's Education Press edition, which made it even more prestigious.

In the music world, Miss Luo Quan was basically the goal that all young people chased, worthy of being called the king among "other people's children," and a role model for millions of music students in China.

The difference between Miss Luo Quan now and those social celebrities was just that she hadn't had an interview and massive publicity from CCTV; once she was on CCTV, her popularity would definitely skyrocket exponentially.

Although Miss Luo Quan often rejected invitations for variety shows and advertisements, she still attached great importance to CCTV, and before rejecting any invitation, she would always look at who the inviting unit was.

She actually quite wanted to be on CCTV; no matter how famous she was online, it still couldn't compare to being on an official platform once.

However, after waiting for so long, Miss Luo Quan hadn't received an invitation from CCTV, and even Weibo didn't have much movement; she definitely couldn't take the initiative to mention such things, as that would be too deliberate.

As for the specific reason, Miss Luo Quan had some guesses, mostly because of her image.

After all, it was a television station facing the general public nationwide, especially now that the situation between China and the West was relatively tense; letting a "foreign face" become famous in China didn't sound very politically correct.

Not to mention whether the domestic public could accept it, it would probably trigger quite a bit of discussion abroad.

From the heart, CCTV certainly hoped that the music genius they promoted would have an Oriental face, but if Miss Luo Quan really had an Oriental face, she probably wouldn't have received so much praise from foreign media and such a high status.

So this was a very tangled matter; Miss Luo Quan guessed that those big shots were also struggling with this, whether or not to spend effort promoting Miss Luo Quan.

To put it bluntly, if any Chinese person could achieve one-third of Miss Luo Quan's achievements, it probably wouldn't be Miss Luo Quan's turn; the central channels would have already started interviewing this person and broadcasting it on a loop.

It can only be said that God is fair; letting people get some things means letting people lose some things.

But no matter how tangled it was, Miss Luo Quan's talent was obvious to all; the TV station had to consider image and publicity. The Ministry of Education didn't have to worry so much; anyway, the name Miss Luo Quan had nothing to do with foreigners, so it didn't matter if it was written in the textbook.

And as Miss Luo Quan's achievements in music became higher and higher, when the social outcry reached a certain level, even without being on TV, Miss Luo Quan would probably be able to become a household name.

Currently, she only needed to release works regularly; in addition, various musical instruments also needed frequent practice.

Although the instrument mastery she redeemed in the mall was all advanced, equivalent to the level of a talented person practicing for ten years, there was still a considerable gap from the level of a master.

However, with advanced instrument mastery, her foundation was much better than ordinary people, and her understanding of instruments in her mind was more proficient; these were things that instrument geniuses couldn't possess.

Possessing these factors, Miss Luo Quan's progress in practicing instruments would also be greater than most people!

It was equivalent to using the system's power to transform herself into a genius, and also an all-around talent who had no restrictions and could learn any instrument!

However, there are thousands of musical instruments in the world; although Miss Luo Quan had endless popularity points, it was impossible to learn them all. Not to mention whether her brain would be overwhelmed, even if she really learned most of them, they would have no use. So Miss Luo Quan currently only learned some of the more commonly used instruments, about a dozen or so, including the xiao, flute, guzheng, qin, piano, violin, cello, saxophone, guitar, and the like.

Daily musical performance was basically complete; if she encountered particularly obscure instruments, it wouldn't be too late to learn them then.

After playing "Miss Luo Quan's Canon," the rhythm was perfect, as accurate as something produced by a computer; this was the benefit of having the sheet music printed in her brain. When her fingers moved, and at what intervals the notes were played, all became muscle memory, with almost no error.

However, although this was precise and elegant, compared to those masters who could improvise, it lacked some unexpected changes and passion.

There certainly wouldn't be such connoisseurs in the live stream room, and the fans' focus wasn't entirely on the piano sound.

There were many comments praising Miss Luo Quan's playing, and there were also many perverts who wanted to lick Miss Luo Quan's hands; anyway, they were all vulgar people. Even a skill that could be called elegant like playing the piano could be rendered into this state.

Actually, watching Miss Luo Quan play the piano was good; at least she was dressed tightly, and most of the time she only showed a pair of hands.

There were many piano-playing uploaders on Bilibili, especially those with many fans and many favorites; their piano-playing videos were simply a large-scale welfare distribution scene. Their clothes could be compared with the girls in the dance section, and their chests were generally relatively broad.

These uploaders' attire was also very distinctive; most of it was exposed, and what was covered was even more. The righteous Bilibili perverts would want to criticize this vulgar behavior before entering the video, but there was no way, these uploaders were really too big.

Actually, looking at the video release history, one could see that many female piano uploaders were playing the piano properly in the early days, and their performance level was as high as the collars of the clothes they wore.

But these early videos basically had few people asking about them.

Then one day the style changed drastically, lowering the bottom line, and also lowering the bottom line of the pant legs, and then the popularity went straight to the homepage.

This is the famous Bilibili Relativity; not everyone can stand with dignity like Miss Luo Quan.

In this internet era where the bottom line is infinitely lowered, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat is a norm; to want popularity, the first thing to do is to throw away one's face.

Not afraid of losing face, daring to do any content, only then can one gain popularity.

In an era of entertainment to death, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate or have no quality; even if you are full of foul language and have incorrect values, as long as you kneel down and call the audience "daddy," you can still make a fortune.

Bilibili's environment was considered good; since the dance section was rectified, the atmosphere had become much more upright.

The chaotic phenomena appeared more on Constable and live streaming platforms, but Miss Luo Quan didn't use these platforms herself, so although she didn't like it, she wouldn't speak out for these phenomena, to avoid people saying she was setting up a positive energy persona or saying she was meddling in other people's business.

Seeing that the fans were focusing on the wrong point, Miss Luo Quan could only smile and shake her hands in front of the camera: "Everyone has these hands, what's there to look at?"

Comments:

"Indeed nothing to look at. (Tissue)"

"Pulling up pants is tough."

"No way, officer, can this also be a dirty joke?"

"Even hand models don't have hands as good-looking as yours, like carved white jade."

"Such good-looking hands, it's a pity not to wash clothes."

………………

Miss Luo Quan smiled and put her hands back on the keys: "It seems my piano playing didn't move everyone; today my role is a piano player, not a hand model."

After finishing, she closed her eyes and played a string of notes; it was only about twenty seconds, but the melody was so beautiful that it made people fascinated.

"So good to hear~~~"

"Just this much?"

"What about the full version? I want to hear the full version!"

"GKD!"

What Miss Luo Quan played was a fragment of a piano piece she had redeemed on a whim; the melody was light and beautiful, carrying some faint little sadness, and many young people would fall in love with it after listening once.

The reason for playing this piece was also to divert everyone's attention; after all, she was a music streamer now, what was the point of everyone just looking at her hands.

"Those who think it sounds good, type 'good' on the screen; those who want to hear the full version, type 'want' on the screen." Miss Luo Quan didn't continue playing immediately, but interacted with the comments.

"I still want to see the hands."

"Do you want to see the hands? You are coveting Miss Luo Quan's body, you are base!"

"I want to hear the song, listen to the song!"

"Play the complete piece, please!"

It could be seen that the fans' thoughts were still somewhat divided, but at least the comments wanting to see the hands were much fewer than before.

Miss Luo Quan revealed a satisfied smile: "Since everyone's request is so strong, I won't keep everyone in suspense.

By the way, this is a piece I just wrote; the name of the song is "The Truth That You Leave," I hope everyone will like it."
