Xu Yanyu tried playing a short section, and the melody was slightly different from the original, but it sounded better.

"Are you transcribing sheet music?" As a professional musician, Tian Huamin can also transcribe sheet music, but she mastered this skill through long-term training.

Transcription is a skill that requires a high level of musical literacy, keen hearing, good memory, and some knowledge of music theory.

Xu Yanyu's ability to transcribe sheet music proves that she has a very high level of musical talent, and she also plays the piano very well.

"The melody of that song is relatively simple." Xu Yanyu really wouldn't dare to try if the melody were too complicated.

Fortunately, she also possessed two music-related skill books provided by the system, which allowed her to handle simple music transcription tasks.

Once she gets more familiar with it, she'll probably be able to transcribe even more complex pieces.

Tian Huamin recalled the melody of "My Country is Strong" and realized that it did not have many variations.

Everyone watched as Xu Yanyu played the accompaniment of "My Country, My Country" on the piano several times, and almost completely copied it.

Director Wu looked at Xu Yanyu with some admiration.

He couldn't help but say, "I feel like the piano accompaniment you played is much better than the original piece we just heard."

“She changed the key!” Tian Huamin explained.

Xu Yanyu added, "Yes, I feel it would be easier to sing in G major."

Producer Qian went from being nonchalant at the beginning to gradually becoming more and more upright in his posture.

He had a bad feeling; he shouldn't have agreed when Xu Yanyu asked to borrow the piano.

He also felt that the song sounded quite pleasant after the piano accompaniment was changed.

Producer Qian was about to say a few words when he suddenly felt a gaze on his right.

He followed his instincts and looked over, only to find that Deputy Director Guo was looking at him with some impatience.

Producer Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized he was wrong!

Deputy Director Guo is usually a very busy person, but he made a special trip to participate in the song selection today because the higher-ups expressed their expectations for the upcoming publicity work of "Singer 2024".

Deputy Director Guo came here today for only one purpose: to see if Xu Yanyu's song selection is satisfactory.

Clearly, Xu Yanyu's rendition of "Floating Light" far exceeded Vice Director Guo's initial requirements.

His actions of making things difficult for Xu Yanyu for his own selfish reasons were going against the wishes of Deputy Director Guo.

Producer Qian felt a chill run down his spine; all he wanted to do was curse himself.

He looked at Xu Yanyu sitting on the piano, but it was too late to stop her.

At this moment, Xiaozhi walked in from outside, holding a printed A4 sheet of paper with the lyrics to the song "My Country is Resounding".

Xu Yanyu smiled as she took the lyrics and placed them on the piano.

She glanced at the decorative clock hanging on the wall; less than ten minutes had passed.

She placed her hands on the piano and began to play the melody she had memorized.

The melodious piano music began again, and Xu Yanyu softly sang the lyrics.

As soon as her voice rang out, its clear tone brimmed with vibrant life.

Although Xu Yanyu sang the same song, she changed the tune, which made her express the simple expectations for life and the future more authentically.

Tian Huamin was the one who could best appreciate Xu Yanyu's prowess.

Xu Yanyu also incorporated her emotional understanding and interpretation into her performance.

She did not simply replicate the emotional expression of the original song, but rather reinterpreted it based on her own understanding and feelings.

This creative approach is reflected not only in the handling of melody and lyrics, but also in the creation of the overall atmosphere of the song.

Through subtle changes in tone and emotional shifts, she brought every detail of the song to life.

Tian Huamin was even more surprised by Xu Yanyu's piano playing skills.

Xu Yanyu's piano playing skills are comparable to those of professional pianists.

No wonder he dared to transcribe the song.

With such superb piano skills, learning such a simple piece shouldn't be too difficult for him.

So why didn't Xu Yanyu pursue a career in music before?

Producer Qian's mouth dropped open slightly.

Is this... is this really a song written by his cheap nephew?

This isn't even the same song!

He couldn't help but take out his phone and record Xu Yanyu's song.

Even Director Wu nodded repeatedly, saying the song was beautiful.

If Xu Yanyu were a doctor, the phrase "miraculous cure" would be applicable.

Deputy Director Guo nodded slightly. Although he didn't understand the melody or key, he could feel the emotions in the song.

It's clear that Xu Yanyu's version is more captivating.

Just as everyone was enjoying the music, it suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? Is it over?" Director Wu's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Xu Yanyu gently closed the piano lid. "Yes, that's where I heard it just now. I didn't transcribe the rest of the score."

Xu Yanyu looked at Producer Qian, "So Producer Qian, do you think I have the ability to handle both the background music for the TV series and the song preparation for the program?"

Tian Huamin quickly lowered her head to suppress her laughter.

From her previous experience with Xu Yanyu and Director Wu in selecting songs, she discovered that Xu Yanyu had a bit of a temper.

Look, after finishing the song, he went straight to producer Qian.

"I...I..."

Before Producer Qian could utter a single word, Director Wu interrupted, saying, "I don't know what Producer Qian is thinking, but I'm relieved. I believe Yan Yu can handle multiple jobs."

"I'll send you Lao Wei's location. If you're free tomorrow, go to the film studio to find him."

If he can't arrive by tomorrow, Lao Wei will probably contact someone else.

Producer Qian surrendered.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit that Xu Yanyu had the ability.

Deputy Director Guo looked at Xu Yanyu and said, "I'll have to trouble you to prepare well for the next episode of Singer."

Xu Yanyu said with a smile, "If I don't prepare the songs for the show properly, Director Wu will call my phone non-stop."

Director Wu scratched his head and laughed.

He said to Xu Yanyu, "That's right. When you go to the movie theater, practice 'Floating Light' when you have time."

No matter how much trouble Lao Wei has on his end, you need to buy a plane ticket and come back by Thursday at the latest, because you have to record the new episode of the singing competition on Friday.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group dispersed.

Xiao Zhi then nimbly ran to Xu Yanyu's side.

"Xiao Zhi, thank you for printing the lyrics for me earlier!" It wasn't actually Xu Yanyu who instructed Xiao Zhi to print the lyrics.

Xiao Zhi said with a smile, "My movements were a bit slow, but fortunately you were able to come in handy in the end."

Xiao Zhi then said, "Teacher Xu, I just recorded a video of you playing the piano. Can I send it to my family?"
