Chapter 457: Canon

In the days before "Beginning" officially began filming, Luo Mo did many things.

He even achieved a certain transformation of a man because he had bumped his head until it bled during the nights of the past few days.

As for our "Beginning" heroine Ding Xiaoyu, during this period, apart from some rather fragmented commercial work, she spent all her remaining leisure time doing one thing—practicing the piano!

Furthermore, she only practiced one piece, and that was "Canon in D".

For this piano genius girl, practicing the piano was originally a daily routine.

Chen Ru had also long been accustomed to sitting on the sofa, listening to the piano music coming from her daughter's practice room.

And let it be said, as she listened and listened, she actually began to find some flavor in it.

Ding Xiaoyu knew full well how heavy this adult gift of "Canon in D" was.

But Chen Ru did not know how terrifying it was, and still felt that her daughter was really easy to fool; Luo Mo just wrote a piece for her, and she was brushed off.

After all, in Chen Ru's view, how many people had Luo Mo written songs for, and how many people had he written music for?

To him, this was just a small matter.

But recently, she discovered a strange thing.

"Why is it that I just can't get tired of listening to this 'Canon'?" Chen Ru thought to herself.

The first time she heard her daughter play this piece, she felt it was pleasant.

But after listening to it in one go for so long, with her daughter playing the same piece over and over and the melody constantly repeating, she actually didn't get annoyed, but instead became somewhat fascinated.

This made Chen Ru realize that she seemed to have underestimated its weight.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ru was planning to heat up a cup of milk for Ding Xiaoyu.

Just then, the door to the practice room was pushed open, and Ding Xiaoyu said while walking out briskly and excitedly: "Mom, I'm going to the studio."

After saying this, she sat on the chair by the shoe cabinet and began to put on black loafers over her feet, which were clad in white cotton socks.

"What's the matter, in such a rush?" Chen Ru asked.

"Master told me to go record 'Canon in D' today!" Ding Xiaoyu said.

"Has the car arrived?" Chen Ru asked.

"It'll be here right away." Ding Xiaoyu had finished changing her shoes.

"Take the milk and drink it on the way," Chen Ru said.

"Mm, okay!" Ding Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, her tone rising slightly, clearly in a good mood.

Chen Ru saw her to the elevator, and saw Ding Xiaoyu tilting her head, watching the numbers on the elevator dancing.

This subconscious action could actually reflect her impatience.

Chen Ru shook her head, and when the elevator door opened, she only said: "If you're coming home for dinner tonight, tell me in advance."

"Mm, I will!" Ding Xiaoyu waved to her mother as the elevator door closed.

Then, she raised her head again, looking at the numbers displayed by the elevator.

After getting into the van, she first saw Luo Mo, and then saw Xu Chujing sitting beside Luo Mo.

"Master." The girl first greeted him happily, and then, after seeing Xu Chujing, she paused slightly before saying timidly: "Jing."

Although Luo Mo and Xu Chujing were already together, she was still used to addressing her as Jing, just as before.

"How is your practice going?" Luo Mo asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Ding Xiaoyu didn't speak too confidently, being very humble.

After arriving at the studio, Luo Mo listened to it once and immediately thought: "How about I let her record the piano version of 'Canon' alone, and I won't play."

"My Series of Self-Humiliation with My Girl Apprentice."

Luo Mo's piano playing level was actually definitely considered quite impressive in the entertainment industry.

But if he recorded with Ding Xiaoyu, ordinary listeners might not be able to tell, but those who were more professional would be able to feel the disparity between worlds.

For the same piece of music, played by different people, the difference was still very large.

Xu Chujing seemed to see through Luo Mo's little thoughts and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

Because before leaving, Luo Mo had very smugly played it for Xu Chujing at home once.

It was just that, at the start of the playing, Xu Chujing was sitting beside Luo Mo. After the playing ended, Luo Mo started to get restless, and finally even lifted her full and perky buttocks with both hands, placing her directly onto the piano keys, which emitted bursts of intense sounds.

Before officially recording the piano version of "Canon in D", Luo Mo also first let Ding Xiaoyu listen to another version recorded by the Huihuang Orchestra, which was the original complete version of "Canon".

The original "Canon" utilized quite a few Yueqi.

But inside—there was no piano!

……..

……..

As the country's premier palace-level orchestra, Luo Mo could give full marks in his heart to the work finally presented by the Huihuang Orchestra.

Yet even so, everyone in the Huihuang Orchestra expressed their gratitude to Luo Mo one after another.

This was not the first time Luo Mo had collaborated with the Huihuang Orchestra.

The first time was the symphonic version of "Free Flying".

The second time was the symphonic version of "Above the Moon".

The reason these two collaborations were able to be achieved was because everyone was like-minded, and the works Luo Mo brought out made them unable to refuse and very eager.

Having achieved all honors, the Huihuang Orchestra's goal in recent years was: to make symphonic music that ordinary people could understand.

Therefore, "Free Flying" and "Above the Moon" were truly too much to their liking.

This group of people recognized Luo Mo's talent and felt that he was a heaven-sent genius in the pop music scene.

And after seeing "Canon in D"?

After some discussion, they reached a very unified view—this is the honor of our Huihuang Orchestra!

After finishing playing the Huihuang Orchestra's version for Ding Xiaoyu, Luo Mo then began to set about recording the piano version.

By then, the two versions will be uploaded simultaneously in a few days.

The piano version of "Canon" is quite magical.

Different listeners will have different feelings.

Some people feel a faint sadness when listening to this piece.

Yet some people feel they can hear hope within it when they are at their lowest.

Some people's moods improve and they feel jubilant when listening to it.

Some people's hearts become calm and they can find peace when listening to it.

Perhaps, this is the charm of good music.

Luo Mo is actually quite curious: what kind of feelings will the listeners of Blue Star have when they hear "D Da Diao Ka Nong" for the first time?

Many people might not know that "D Da Diao Ka Nong" is very likely one of the oldest pieces you have ever heard in your life.

After all, it has spanned several centuries.

Even people like Bach come after it.

This is a classic left behind by the era!

And as for it, to what extent is it a classic?

And just how old is it?

Do you know why there is no piano in the original "D Da Diao Ka Nong"?

The reason is very simple.

Because at that time, the musical instrument known as the piano did not yet exist in the world!

The coming-of-age gift Luo Mo gave to Ding Xiaoyu was a pearl he had plucked from the long river of history, from the brilliant civilization he brought with him.

……..

……..

Saturday arrived very quickly.

Many music lovers could not help but notice the large promotional banner on the homepage when they opened Penguin Music.

"D Da Diao Ka Nong?" Many people looked at the name on the banner and were slightly stunned.

Under normal circumstances, on a major music platform like Penguin Music, such a precious promotional spot is definitely reserved for pop songs.

So at first, everyone thought: this is a song with a very strange name.

In an apartment building in Shencheng.

A flat-topped man named Meng Yangguang was listening to today's new songs.

This is a name that feels both strange and familiar; he was once a trainee at Xingshi Entertainment.

"Half a Life of Talent Shows, Still a Nobody Upon Return."

During the class assessment for "Creating Idols," he even challenged Luo Mo, wanting to demote him from A Class to F Class.

Then, this man who had practiced the violin for ten years heard "Confession Night," performed by Luo Mo!

At this very moment, he noticed the promotional banner on the homepage of Penguin Music.

"D Da Diao Ka Nong?" He looked at this name and felt a bit curious.

Others might not know what a "Canon" is, but how could he, having studied the violin for ten years, not know?

To be precise, he had even practiced quite a few "Canon" pieces.

But at first, he also thought this was a pop song.

While it is strange for a pop song to have such a name, it is not unheard of.

Just like how on Earth there are songs like "Bach's Old Testament," though "D Da Diao Ka Nong" looks even more confusing.

Meng Yangguang clicked on the banner and discovered there were two tracks.

One was specifically labeled "Piano Version," and the other had no label at all.

What made Meng Yangguang raise an eyebrow was that the two names following below were Huihuang Orchestra and Ding Xiaoyu, respectively.

Looking at the three characters "Ding Xiaoyu" under the "Piano Version," he could not help but think of the man behind this newly emerged Top Traffic starlet in the circle.

That man whom he can now only look up to until his neck feels like it might break.

His right hand clicked on the "Piano Version" as if beyond his control.

Immediately after, his breathing hitched.

Because all that met his eyes were a few lines of text.

"【Lyricist: None】."

"【Composer: Earth】."

Besides these two lines, there was also a prompt:

"【Pure music, please enjoy】."
