Chapter 32: Getting Popular on the Whole Network
Nowadays, when it came to musical instruments, people would firstly think of piano violin or cello.
In the view of these people, only these kinds of instrument were noble and elegant. However, they forgot that the instrument which was used to play the ancient court music was the supreme one.
The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed amid applause.
The sudden darkness created a blind spot for people’s vision. At the same time, there came a heavy drumbeat.
The impassioned drumbeats were simple but shocking, hitting the hearts of the people in the auditorium and people who were watching the live video streaming. Meanwhile, a ray of light illuminated the location of the drum.
The young man was tall and wearing a dark red armor, like a brave soldier.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When the drumbeats quieted down, people were enchanted by a melodious sound of the Chinese zither.
The rhythm of the Chinese zither was melodious and graceful. Again, another beam of light came down and covered the place of the Chinese zither. It was a girl wearing a red skirt, whose long silk-like hair was tied up in a chignon with a wooden hairpin. Her dress was very elegant, but with her fingers playing the strings, she suddenly gave the viewers a chilling sense.
Then, the melodious sound of the Chinese zither began to accelerate when she played the strings with her slender fingers, which made the audience excited.
The drumbeats were mixed with the sound of the Chinese zither, and the overall sound was dense and exciting. As each different musical sound appeared, there was an extra beam of light showed on the stage. Gradually, more sounds were added, such as the battle drum, the Chinese zither, Guqin, flute, Erhu, Pipa, cucurbit flute, Xun, Xiao, dulcimer, Sheng, and Konghou.
There were twelve kinds of traditional Chinese music. The background of the stage was lit up, and that was the sand painting.
There was a domineering music style and a strong historical atmosphere. The music brought everyone into the everlasting ancient times, in which people could see the towering imperial city and the battlefield with thick smoke.
Attracted by the music, the audience entered a new world and saw the prosperity of the imperial city. The rhythm of music intensified instantly, and the drumbeats became denser and heavier. After the war, the city was destroyed. The tall figures of the soldiers guarding the country and their melodious sense of loss were replaced by the dust flying all over the sky.
The war continued and the battle drum was clanging.
At the most intense moment, the music suddenly disappeared. All of a sudden, the hearts of all fell suddenly. As they immersed themselves in the atmosphere of loss, the sound of the Chinese zither emerged slowly with the string music of Konghou. The two tones seemed to soothe the audience softly.
On the stage, Song Qinghuan who was playing the Chinese zither and Shen Yinian who was playing the Konghou tacitly looked up at each other. Their eyes were curved and filled with a smile.
The light gradually faded away with the music and finally disappeared, leaving nothing but a full sense of sadness. The stage was dark again.
On the Internet, it seemed that tens of millions of netizens who were watching live streaming finally came to their senses. They were excited and, left a barrage of comments on the screen.
“Ah~ah~ah~ah~!!”
“Oh, my god! Oh, my god!”
“It made my blood boil!!! Don’t stop me. I am going to the battlefield!!!”
“Have you noticed!!! That cardinal is my first love!!”
This comment seemed to press a strange switch, and netizens with screenshots recognized the identity of the Chinese zither player.
“Song Qinghuan!!!”
“The hierarch, Qinghuan. You have both civil and military skills. You will live thousands of years and you will unify the world!!”
“Pay respects to hierarch!!!”
“Only I notice the last Konghou player is our Goddess Shen?”
“Before, I only knew Goddess Shen was good at playing the piano. I didn’t expect she could handle the complicated Konghou.”
“I will give you my knees!!”
“The little brother who played the battle drum is also very handsome. I want to marry him!!”
“Show my love to all of them!!”
There was prolonged applause on the site. The audience’s eyes were burning.
“Thanks to the group ‘December’ of our school for bringing us the show ‘Control the World’.” When the voice of the host sounded, the applause did not end. The exciting mood woke up some sleepy people. For a while, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax.
The two hosts also laughed and made fun of each other. When the audience learned from the host that this piece of domineering music with a historic flavor was completed by the students alone, some of the old artists present couldn’t believe it.
At first, everyone thought that this song must be written by a famous teacher in the university, but no one thought that it was made by students themselves.
Song Qinghuan and others were left on the stage by the host. They had just finished playing and all the twelve students had bright smiles on their faces. Some of them even had red eyes.
However, none of them took credit for it. They said that the song was created by Song Qinghuan alone, and that the members of their group had been put together by Song Qinghuan one by one into the group “December”.
The implication was clear. Without Song Qinghuan, there would be no music feast tonight. They were very grateful to Song Qinghuan for letting them participate in the feast tonight.
So, Song Qinghuan became famous again. This time, she was not only famous in Xinghan Music Academy, but also more famous than before.
Xu Ningzhou sat on his seat and said nothing. His eyes were as bright as stars, and they were fixed on Song Qinghuan who was blushed on the stage. She was more excited than anyone, but when the microphone came to her lips, a thousand words were changed to the heavy “thank you” and a deep, 90-degree bow.
This was his little fairy.
Xu Ningzhou was so excited and took a few deep breaths. When Song Qinghuan and others went off the stage, Xu Ningzhou also got up to go to the backstage.
Tonight, the top search of the Internet didn’t belong to the king or queen of the entertainment circle. The number one search was “the hierarch, Qinghuan”.
This was a topic created by netizens who had seen their performance. The popularity had been rising all the way. Various clips and screenshots had been spread and forwarded by various platforms.
The new live streaming website of Glory Consortium, which bought the exclusive broadcast right, was on the verge of crashing. For a moment, all the staff were stupefied by the number of members displayed in the backstage and the horrible access browsing data.
Because the platform had bought the exclusive broadcast right, only members could watch it on the platform, and people needed to buy the member account. Therefore, if you wanted to watch it, you had to pay to buy a member account. For a while, the flow of the platform reached the peak of the live streaming website in recent years, and even broke the record!
Employees said that their boss’s vision was different. He put on a good show for the board of directors overnight and greatly embarrassed them.
After all, at the beginning, when the company’s top managers knew that Xu Ningzhou spent millions of dollars buying an exclusive broadcast right of a school anniversary and that it was a new project, they thought this was a loss-making business.
Even if Xinghan Music Academy was very famous, it was just a school anniversary. A few million more would be enough for a pop star to hold a lavish concert.
Song Qinghuan, who was the most talked-about person now, just stepped off the stage and was greeted by an excited embrace and a man’s deep sexy voice showing irrepressible joy, “Have a kiss!”
