Chapter 184 Dr. Jin Provides a Helping Hand
The production team was extremely efficient; in just a few minutes, Xiao Dong brought over a Nanyin pipa.
Xiao Dong handed the Nanyin pipa to Zhou Yuchu, saying, "Teacher Zhou, keep it up!"
Zhou Yu stared at the pipa in front of him, unsure how to react.
Shen Qingshu looked at Zhou Yuchu, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Teacher Zhou, everyone is so looking forward to it, you won't let them down, will you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu turned to look at Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu's beautiful eyes curved slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, a provocation in her gaze.
She did it on purpose!
Zhou Yu clenched his fist.
However, she had to remain calm in front of everyone.
Zhou Yuchu smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, I'm not in good shape today, so I definitely won't play well. I won't embarrass myself."
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat disappointed, but Zhou Yu was unwell and it was indeed not appropriate to force him to do something against his will.
"Since Teacher Zhou isn't feeling well, then let's just forget about it," Teacher Deng said.
Although Zhao Yangyi was a little disappointed, he also expressed his understanding, saying, "Yes, it's better to rest more when you're not feeling well."
"Excuse me for interrupting." Jin Que raised his hand.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Zhou Yu was no exception.
Jin Que was dressed in a white shirt, with a gentle temperament and a deep, warm voice.
"That's right. I'm very interested in Nanyin, but I haven't had much of a chance to really get to know it. As far as I know, Nanyin is a pentatonic scale, with five simple phonetic Chinese characters '乂、工、六、思、一' corresponding to the five notes of the pre-Qin period: 'Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu'."
Jin Que looked at Zhou Yuchu, still maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, and asked, "Teacher Zhou, could you please explain the fingering for this pentatonic scale to us?"
Zhou Yu was stunned.
She had only been learning the pentatonic scale of Nanyin for three days, and she still made mistakes when Bai Jianwen was watching her, let alone now...
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "Teacher Zhou, the pentatonic scale is the most basic. Since Dr. Jin is so interested, please grant his request."
"Yes, I want to learn too!" Jiang Ruomi winked playfully at Zhou Yuchu. "It's just playing five notes, it shouldn't tire Teacher Zhou out, right?"
“I…” Zhou Yuchu lowered his head, his thoughts racing.
She quickly made up her mind.
She stood up and said, "Then I'll make a fool of myself in front of everyone."
As she spoke, Zhou Yuchu reached out to take the pipa from Xiao Dong's hand, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she swayed, then closed her eyes and fell directly to the ground—
"Teacher Zhou!"
Everyone gasped in surprise!
The director, who was already quite drunk, was immediately sobered up and hurriedly shouted, "Doctor, quickly call a doctor—"
The scene was in complete chaos.
Medical staff arrived and, after some emergency measures, Zhou Yuchu slowly opened her eyes.
She looked haggard, her eyes still somewhat dazed, and glanced around. "What's wrong with me?"
Zhao Yangyi: "Teacher Zhou, you just fainted!"
Yang Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he frowned as he said, "Teacher Zhou is too tired. I'll take her back to rest first. You all have a good time."
With the help of Xiao Zhang and Yang Heng, Zhou Yuchu dragged his weak body into the house.
Because Zhou Yuchu suddenly fainted, no one had any appetite for the late-night snack.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Shen Qingshu put down her wine glass, stood up and walked to the Nanyin pipa, saying to Xiao Dong, "Could I borrow it for a moment?"
Xiao Dong asked in surprise, "You can play?"
"I know a little."
Xiao Dong immediately handed the pipa to Shen Qingshu.
Upon seeing this, Jin Que smiled faintly.
He found a slightly taller chair and placed it next to Shen Qingshu's feet, saying, "This chair will be more comfortable."
Shen Qingshu smiled at him, then sat down with her pipa in her arms.
The moment she sat down and set up her pipa, the entire posture was instantly established.
Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze caressed the woman's delicate cheeks.
The woman's slender, jade-like fingers plucked the strings of the zither.
A beautiful melody drifted through the night.
After listening for a while, Xiao Dong suddenly realized, "This is... Grandpa's paintbrush?"
Teacher Shen can actually play this piece!
Xiao Dong couldn't help but pick up his phone and record the scene.
Shen Qingshu hadn't played the pipa for many years, so she was a little rusty at first, but gradually got into the swing of things.
The music attracted many staff members from the program crew.
The director glanced at his assistant.
The assistant immediately brought the gimbal and handed it to the director.
The director turned on the recording and used a gimbal to capture the scene.
Jin Que stood to the side, his phone recording video.
The song ended.
The scene was completely silent.
The next second, applause broke out.
Shen Qingshu looked up and realized that, apart from Zhou Yuchu, Yang Heng, and Xiao Zhang, everyone else had returned.
Holding her pipa, she gracefully gave a bow, then returned the pipa to Xiao Dong, saying, "Thank you."
Xiao Dong looked at her, his eyes shining, "Teacher Shen, you're amazing! Have you studied Nanyin music?"
"Yes, my grandfather hired a Nanyin teacher for me. I started learning when I was eight, but I stopped after I turned fifteen."
“Teacher Shen’s fingering technique clearly shows that he has a solid foundation,” the director said with a smile. “I just recorded Teacher Shen’s performance with a gimbal. If Teacher Shen doesn’t mind, I would like to include your performance in this episode’s preview.”
Shen Qingshu had her own plans.
She nodded. "I don't mind."
"That's great!" the director laughed. "I'll have the post-production team edit it later. Before it airs, I'll send it to Teacher Shen to make sure there are no problems before the final broadcast."
Shen Qingshu nodded and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Director."
-
After returning to the room, Zhou Yuchu sent Xiao Zhang away.
Only Zhou Yuchu and Yang Heng were in the room.
Yang Heng looked at Zhou Yuchu with a serious expression, "You were faking fainting just now, weren't you?"
Zhou Yuchu felt a little guilty, but she also knew that at this point, the program could no longer continue recording.
She pretended to faint that night to avoid it, but what about tomorrow?
The recording will last for three days and two nights. If Shen Qingshu wants to force her to perform, she won't be able to escape.
After careful consideration, Zhou Yu looked at Yang Heng and decided to be frank.
"I was definitely faking fainting."
Yang Heng wasn't surprised to hear this.
He simply sighed, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
“Because I…” Zhou Yuchu said, “I don’t know Nanyin music, and I can’t compose music at all!”
"What?" Yang Heng frowned. "Then why did you say that you composed those pieces?"
"I bought those songs from someone, and the copyright belongs to me!"
Yang Heng stared at Zhou Yuchu, his eyes sharp. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu replied, forcing a smile.
There was no way she would let Yang Heng know that she had stolen Shen Qingshu's copyright!
Buying is one thing, stealing is another!
Although she is currently the top female star in the company and is very popular, if Yang Heng finds out that she is using stolen songs for publicity, it would be as if she has given Yang Heng a handle to use against her.
The agent ultimately sided with the company.
When she has value, the company will naturally promote her, but a female star's golden period is limited!
The company will sign and promote new talent in the future. Now that they have Jiang Ruomi, she can no longer be careless!
If she is now compromised by Yang Heng and the company, she will become very passive when her value diminishes.
With tears welling in her eyes, Zhou Yu looked at Yang Heng and said, "Brother Yang, I have my reasons. Please keep this a secret for me."
