This song gives a feeling that the Tang Dynasty is at peace and the barbarians are submissive!
North Dust's gaze towards Nan Ye was different.
Nan Ye had been cooperating with him and constantly guiding him to play in another direction.
As they played more, he even felt a sense of clarity after the fog cleared.
He could feel that this piece could be even more magnificent, even more perfect.
There was always a voice in his mind:
Discard the original score, follow your feelings, let the pipa become you, rather than you controlling the pipa.
Slowly, he began to keep up with Nan Ye's rhythm.
Seeing that North Dust was getting the hang of it, Nan Ye's plucking speed increased. He wanted to recreate the complete "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue" from the banquet.
The tacit understanding between the two was improving at a visible speed.
After one piece!
Both felt exhilarated, like encountering flowing water after climbing a high mountain.
However, Nan Ye had only heard the complete version three times, and he didn't remember much of the melody, let alone recreate it one by one.
He needed time to recall, to record, and to arrange the music.
Today felt very much like an impromptu performance.
And North Dust, encountering this version of "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue" for the first time, could only passively follow Nan Ye.
The effect was naturally not as good as imagined.
This was Nan Ye's own thought, but others didn't think that way.
The people around were all knowledgeable about music; their expressions went from doubt, to surprise, to astonishment, and now to shock.
【So, this is the real "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue." That spirit of generous sacrifice made me lose my soul just listening to it.】
【Amazing, amazing! Both of these young men are amazing; their mastery of the pipa is extremely high.】
【As expected of the Tang Dynasty's number one piece, this version of "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue" has a great feel to it. I hope it can be arranged in the future!】
【...】
Hearing the praise from the people around, North Dust slowly came back to his senses.
That piece just now, especially when collaborating with Nan Ye later, was truly enjoyable.
"This piece has a feeling of 'the Tang Dynasty is at peace, and the surrounding barbarians submit themselves'!
Nan Ye, is this your newly arranged version?"
North Dust was already impatient to "spar" with Nan Ye again.
To be able to compose such a piece, Nan Ye is truly talented.
At Bai Shan Restaurant, when North Dust said he was Nan Ye's fan, it felt a bit forced.
But now, that idea has slowly blurred; perhaps even he himself feels a bit of it.
In terms of technique, North Dust is not much worse than Nan Ye.
What he lacks is the musical score!
It's the understanding of this piece.
He doesn't have Nan Ye's scene experience card; otherwise, what North Dust played might even surpass Nan Ye.
Some talents are truly bestowed by heaven; you can't envy them.
Perhaps his talent in instruments is too great, while his singing is just ordinary.
Otherwise, with North Dust's looks and talent, perhaps he would be another Little General level...
This time, Nan Ye did not admit that the piece was arranged by him.
Instead, he explained:
"Don't forget, I have some research into history, which can be seen from the porcelain.
But I've never said I only research ceramics; I also have some research into ancient musical scores.
This version is compiled from numerous ancient scores that I've organized.
Strictly speaking, I didn't create it anew but inherited the ancient people's musical scores!"
After speaking, Nan Ye immediately communicated with the system in his mind:
"Tong Zi, exchange the emotional value converted into money, and then allocate a small portion to collect ancient musical scores."
After experiencing the scene of "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue," Nan Ye truly appreciated the charm of music.
Next, it depends on the system's ability to collect more ancient scores and improve several ancient pieces; that would naturally be a good thing.
【Alright, alright, don't bother me while I'm watching my show. Annyeonghaseyo!】
Watching a show?
Can Tong Zi even watch shows now?
And it's a Korean drama; this Tong Zi is a bit different...
Nan Ye's explanation was indeed self-consistent, and North Dust had no doubts.
On the contrary, there was more admiration.
Nan Ye had done what he had always wanted to do, which was to restore ancient musical scores.
After this International Instrument Exchange Conference, he will also, like Dai Tianchuan, search for ancient musical scores throughout the country, and even abroad.
At the same time, it is also to witness the great rivers and mountains of the world, increasing his own depth and knowledge, which will be very useful for future composition and arrangement.
He just didn't expect that Nan Ye was already doing this.
"If there's a chance in the future, could I ask you to play a few more pieces?"
North Dust said it very seriously, with anticipation in his eyes.
That feeling was just like reading a novel; finding a good book was always a surprise!
He felt that way now.
"Of course!" Nan Ye did not refuse.
Perhaps it was because North Dust was the Guardian initiator, his fan leader.
He felt a bit closer to North Dust than to others.
After playing together, the two felt a bit more like kindred spirits.
It was this feeling that laid the foundation for their joint performance at the International Instrument Exchange Conference...
...
Wang Xuan, who was nearby, also praised without reservation: "Excellent, absolutely wonderful!
To be honest, I haven't seen such collaboration in a long time.
It was too spectacular!
By the way, you two, I'm going to upload this video. You don't have any objections, right?"
North Dust scoffed at Wang Xuan: "When the heck have you ever listened to my opinion?
If I say don't upload it, will you really not upload it?"
Wang Xuan gave a mischievous laugh: "Hehe, the one who knows me best is none other than Xiao Lanling!!"
"Stop, that nickname sounds awkward!"
Amidst the jokes, the three each showcased their unique skills.
They even used the pipa, flute, and violin for a joint performance, seeking resonance between traditional Chinese instruments and Western instruments.
It wasn't until dark that the few of them left feeling exhilarated.
"Wang Xuan, come to my place for a simple meal tonight. Nan Ye, come along?
Besides "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue," I also want to understand the other pieces you showcased today more deeply."
This was the first time North Dust sincerely invited Nan Ye.
"Okay!" Nan Ye did not refuse.
When he was with North Dust and Wang Xuan, he found that his skills and understanding of music had slightly improved.
Although it was very small, it was better than nothing.
The three of them took a taxi to North Dust's home...
...
Meanwhile, the outside world was already stirring because of the upcoming Liushang Pavilion Exchange Meeting.
Especially after Wang Xuan uploaded that video, it attracted the attention of many people:
【What kind of piece is this? It's grand and magnificent, so good to listen to!】
【Is this Xiao Lanling's strength? As rumored, he's indeed powerful. Of course, Nan Ye is not bad either.】
【If I'm not mistaken, this should be "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue," but there are significant differences. It's very likely that Nan Ye newly arranged it.】
【This version feels even better to listen to, I love it!】
【Wow, Xiao Lanling and Xiao Ge playing the pipa together. As expected, they knew each other long ago!】
Indeed, to outsiders, how could they have such tacit understanding if they hadn't known each other for a long time?
