Brando is a fastidious man.

This can be seen from the exquisite decoration in his villa.

It is artistic yet has a hint of warmth. At first glance, it looks like an elegant palace, but after a closer look, you feel that the overall structure is like a country tune. Although Lu Yuan cannot describe this mixed style, it is not wrong to describe it as exquisite.

Lu Yuan actually didn't like dealing with such sophisticated people, because he felt that sophisticated people must have a lot of rules, and Lu Yuan was a careless person with a vulgar color. He felt that he would definitely make a fool of himself in front of sophisticated people...

Think about it, half a year ago, Lu Yuan was still a guy smoking a cheap "Honglan" and squatting on the street with Fatty Wei, jealous of the tall, rich and handsome Shen Lianjie. How elegant do you expect him to become in the past six months?

He is not like what is written in some novels, with the soul of a famous strong man possessed or a genius transformation system that can transform him completely in half a year...

What the hell is this?

When Brando saw Lu Yuan, he was very enthusiastic and gave Lu Yuan a bear hug without saying a word. After the bear hug, he looked at Wang Jinxue again.

"teacher."

"Haha, long time no see, long time no see. You Chinese are like this. You always bring so many things every time you come. I haven't finished the things you sent me last time..." When Brando turned his head to look at Wang Jinxue, his smile became brighter and brighter, and there was also relief in the brightness.

He wanted to reach out and touch Wang Jinxue's head, but then he suddenly realized that Wang Jinxue was much taller than him, and it would be too weird to touch her head now, so he retracted his hand and sighed.

I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly. More than ten years have passed in a flash.

The well-mannered little girl with pigtails has now grown into a big girl. Although the two have been in contact with each other over the years, the number of times they have actually met can be counted on one hand. After all, both of them are busy with their own things, and Wang Jinxue has not made any further progress in piano.

In fact, he has been paying attention to her for more than ten years.

The more attention he paid, the more regretful he felt.

Although Wang Jinxue was one of his many disciples, she was definitely one of the top ten in terms of talent. If she had continued to stick to the piano, her achievements would probably be great. He even thought that Wang Jinxue would officially become a master after the song "Nir River Girl", but he didn't expect that there would be no news about her afterwards.

"Actually, I've always had a question: why did you give up halfway? If you had continued on..."

"Teacher, I'm not a genius like you. Although I composed 'Girl on the River Neal', I did so with your help. You even wrote most of the consonants for me. After I finished that piece, I knew that I was destined to never be able to reach the pinnacle of the piano industry like you. After all, there are only a few geniuses like you in this world." Wang Jinxue looked at Brando and smiled faintly.

She is really open-minded about some things, and she also knows her limits.

It is true that I have talent in playing the piano, but I am not a genius after all and cannot truly integrate into it.

"Girl on the River Neal" took up all her efforts. After completing the piano piece, Wang Jinxue realized that she could no longer devote so much time and energy to piano music.

After all, she had no ambition to become a pianist.

After saying this, Wang Jinxue subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan, who was standing there seriously with a blank look in his eyes because he didn't understand.

There are probably even fewer monsters like Lu Yuan in this world.

Wang Jinxue was quite speechless.

"What a shame, what a shame... Come and sit down, Bruce. Are the coffee beans ground? Come up when they are. Can't you see that I have guests here?"

"Okay, um, sir..."

"What else do you want?"

"A reporter from a weekly magazine wants to interview you and would like to know if you are free now."

"Please help me push it. It's inconvenient."

"Oh, but the reporters have asked you out several times, and you've agreed several times. You can't keep agreeing to them and then go back on your word. They're waiting outside the door."

"Then let them wait outside the door."

"OK."

Brando waved his hand impatiently to deal with the assistant named Bruce. After dealing with him, he immediately put on a smile and invited Lu Yuan and the other man to sit down.

Lu Yuan nodded with a silly smile. Although he didn't know what Brando was talking about, he thought it was right to sit down with a smile.

…

"What? You want us to go back again? Mr. Bruce, we have made appointments many times... and we are very sincere."

"Sorry, Master has guests now."

"Guest? Can you tell me who the guest is?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you. Please go back. If the master is free next time, we will make an appointment for you in advance?"

"Well, Mr. Bruce, we can wait here, right?"

"this……"

"We'll wait here. When will Mr. Brando finish meeting the guests? That's when we'll wait."

"But, isn't this bad?"

"Mr. Bruce, for God's sake, please understand us. We only have Mr. Brando left in our weekly piano master magazine. Piano fans are waiting for him. Besides, we have come all the way from America. You can't let us go back empty-handed, right?"

"Well, sorry, if that's the case, I'll have to trouble you to wait here first. You all know the master's temper, and I can't promise you anything."

"Don't worry, it's okay! We can wait."

Outside the garden villa, several reporters looked at Bruce's back and then looked at the villa in the distance.

They breathed a sigh of relief, their faces full of determination to wait.

Among all the pianists, only Brando is the most arrogant, and whether he wants to be interviewed is entirely based on personal preference.

This gave them a lot of trouble.

guest?

Are there really guests?

…

The coffee is here.

It was very fragrant, but Lu Yuan felt it tasted a bit bitter.

Much more bitter than the coffee in the "Meet You" cafe.

“How’s the coffee?”

"Not bad, I like it."

"That's good, that's good. Let's try other flavors of coffee later. Bruce grinds coffee beans differently from others."

"Okay, thank you."

Brando looked at Lu Yuan with a questioning expression.

Lu Yuan also looked at Brando and responded with his signature smile.

Although neither of them could understand what the other was saying, fortunately Wang Jinxue was there to translate.

To be honest, Lu Yuan doesn't actually like drinking coffee, let alone this kind of bitter coffee without sugar. Instead of drinking coffee, he prefers to guzzle Nutri-Express.

Of course, no matter how low Lu Yuan’s EQ is, he can’t say that he likes to drink Nutri-Express.

After all, think about it...

In such an elegant place, while others were drinking coffee, I was gulping down Nutri-Express.

Isn't this an eyesore?

Wang Jinxue was a good translator, and she translated many of Lu Yuan's words very politely. Combined with Lu Yuan's naive and modest expression, Brando instantly felt that Lu Yuan was a polite gentleman.

His impression of Lu Yuan skyrocketed.

After having coffee, Brando began to talk about music with Lu Yuan with great interest.

He had heard Lu Yuan's "To Alice", "Lullaby" and "Romance of Love", and he was very eager to know how talented this young man was. From the piano pieces he heard, Brando even thought that he might not be as good as this young man.

The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.

Others might just think that Lu Yuan's piano pieces are pretty good, but people like Brando who have done in-depth research on piano music know very well the value of these songs.

At least it is impossible for him to create such amazing works at Lu Yuan's age.

This young man's future achievements will absolutely be terrifying!

So he was very eager to meet this extraordinary genius and talk to him about piano and creation.

Brando talks about piano from its enlightenment, to the Renaissance, to the history of modern piano, to postmodernism...

He talked eloquently, and many of the awkward piano theories and techniques were difficult for Wang Jinxue to understand. After Wang Jinxue translated it into Chinese, she looked at Lu Yuan, but saw that Lu Yuan did not look confused or lost in deep thought. Instead, he smiled and nodded...

This expression made Wang Jinxue sincerely admire Lu Yuan, but after the two sides translated several sentences back and forth, Wang Jinxue suddenly felt something was wrong...

Brando spoke eloquently, discussing his deep theories on piano music...

And what about Lu Yuan?

"Yes, Mr. Brando is right. I totally agree!"

"Yes, Mr. Brando, I think your theory is very inspiring."

"Teacher, this is real art!"

"Teacher Brando, do you think there is any more theory you can talk about? I'd love to hear more..."

“…”

It was Brando who was talking all the time, and Lu Yuan was agreeing. It was nothing at first, but after agreeing for a long time, Wang Jinxue started to stare at Lu Yuan and Brando.

No matter how you listen to it, it seems that Lu Yuan is dealing with Brando, right? But looking at Lu Yuan's expression, it doesn't seem like he doesn't understand at all. Instead, he is listening with great interest and enthusiasm?

Wang Jinxue thought this was magical...

In fact, Lu Yuan didn’t mean he couldn’t understand, but he totally couldn’t understand!

However, after experiencing so many worldly affairs and learning so many times, Lu Yuan's acting skills have improved.

Moreover, Lu Yuan indeed felt that what Wang Jinxue translated was very inspiring.

There seem to be very few music restaurants in this world, right?

"Mr. Lu Yuan..." The old man was chatting very enthusiastically and felt more refreshed than ever before.

He is lonely!

Especially when a person reaches a certain level, he will become extremely lonely.

No one understands what you are thinking, and no one understands your theories and opinions.

People will just flatter you out of pretentiousness and think you are great.

Does he need these people to flatter him? Does he need these people to suck up to him?

He felt that the flattery from these outsiders was an insult to him!

But my Chinese friend is different.

The look in his eyes was not of flattery but of recognition!

Yes he felt that sense of recognition!

Of course, if Lu Yuan was an ordinary person, old man Brando would really disdain any recognition.

However, Lu Yuan is the original creator of "To Alice", "Lullaby" and "Romance of Love"!

In half a year, three classic piano pieces came into being under his hands, and each piano piece was as good as the ones he composed!

What does this mean?

If it represents this young man's single-cycle creative talent, he is fully qualified to be compared with my current self!

So what does this meeting between the two represent?

It represents a collision!

What happens after the collision?

It's fusion!

"What's wrong, Mr. Brando?"

"I think we should work together to compose a piano piece now, what do you think? I've had a vague idea before, I'll play it for you now."

"ah?"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Oh my god!

Did I use too much fucking force?
