It wasn't until much later that everyone came to their senses:
Gentlemen, listen to the dragon's roar!
[It started off rather uneventfully, I thought it would just be a gentle, flowing melody, but then suddenly it became incredibly powerful, giving me goosebumps!]
The guqin softly sings of the ambition of heaven and earth, the erhu soars to express vigorous energy, the bamboo flute rings out with the spirit of iron and stone, and the pipa tenderly speaks of the opportunity for prosperity.
After listening to Mr. Mask's "Water Dragon Chant," I wish I could learn all these traditional musical instruments.
Therefore, we must have cultural confidence! It's not that China lacks good things; it's just that we haven't properly experienced or studied our history!
Five thousand years of history—even a superficial understanding is enough to benefit us immensely!
[...]
After everyone calmed down, Bei Chen finally spoke:
According to records, "Shui Long Yin" was originally a set of ancient guqin music from the Northern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Volume 29 of the Book of Northern Qi states: Shu Zu was skilled at playing the zither and composed the "Ten Melodies of the Dragon's Roar." He said he once dreamed of someone playing the zither, and upon waking, he wrote it down. At the time, it was considered exquisite.
Meanwhile, it is also recorded in works such as Han Ma Rong's "Ode to the Long Flute".
Later, "Shui Long Yin" became a piece of court music, holding significant importance for its transmission...
In the previous life, the musical score of "Shui Long Yin" was relatively complete.
Included in "Yu Wu Qin Pu", "Cang Chun Wu Qin Pu", "Bo Ya Xin Fa", "Qin Pu He Bi"...
There are multiple versions and variations, and it is now difficult to unify them.
But in this world, these traditions have long since disappeared into the annals of history.
Not to mention fragments, there aren't even a few notes.
This version of the song, though a variation, is enough to excite listeners.
Yang Yan couldn't help but express his admiration:
"The Water Dragon Chant is excellent in both rhythm and melody, and even in the connection between instruments and the overall presentation, it is better than the previous Broken Formation Music."
It allows people to fully experience the profound cultural heritage and national pride.
This kind of traditional Chinese music could easily be called a national treasure!
The association presidents and enthusiasts also provided their comments in turn.
From their comments, the audience can hear how much they appreciate and love these three pieces.
These positive reviews will undoubtedly allow these three pieces to spread further and become known to more people for a considerable period of time to come…
"Well then, today's performance has come to an end. We welcome everyone to visit Hive Bar again in the future!"
Bei Chen's words left everyone with a sense of loss.
“Every performance is an auditory feast. I will definitely attend any performance at Hive Bar from now on!”
"Three songs aren't enough! How about thirty songs?"
"You're going to kill Mr. Mask with exhaustion! You're releasing songs faster than you're drinking water. How is that possible?"
"Oh right, Mr. Mask, don't go! What's the theme for the next episode?"
Only when this person mentioned it did everyone remember that there was such a thing.
"That's right, that's right, we can choose the theme for the next issue."
But Mr. Mask has already developed in all aspects; what theme could possibly stump him?
"Damn it, this is unsolvable. Trying to stump Mr. Mask is this difficult?"
"Mr. Mask: You think you can stump me?"
"Hurry up, stop chatting and come up with a topic."
"How about a theme of alcohol? What bar is complete without alcohol?"
"This theme is great! A honeycomb bar with a drinks theme is a perfect match!"
"..."
Everyone quickly reached a consensus.
Bei Chen smiled and shook his head. "You think you can stump me with this topic? Sorry, you can't do it!"
"I've accepted this topic. As for the next performance, we'll let you know later!"
They'll be busy from now on, and it's hard to say whether they'll still be spending every day at the Hive Bar...
...
In the following days, all three ancient melodies gained considerable popularity.
In particular, "Ambush from Ten Sides" is the most complete of the three songs and has the highest quality of ancient music, which has been unanimously recognized by the industry.
Furthermore, Mr. Mask's national treasure-level pipa playing skills are also amazing.
The combination of these two factors led to the song to dominate the new song chart in just half a day, and within 48 hours, it entered both the rising chart and the popular chart.
Such speed is undoubtedly alarming and a headache.
This is the state of affairs within a sniper squad!
Qu Ying, director of Times Entertainment: "Have you noticed that this Mr. Mask is getting more and more perverted?"
It reached number one on the new song chart in 6 hours, top ten on the rising chart in 24 hours, and top ten on the popular chart in 48 hours.
This speed is even more terrifying than that of most young pop stars. No wonder Duanmu Qinghe chose to withdraw; now I understand her situation.
Star Director Li Dongsheng: "It's not just young divas; even weaker mid-career divas might not be a match for them!"
Director Shen Jingqiu of Brilliant: "Now it seems that letting Situ Hailing go was a wise move. Perhaps only Zhongtianhou can suppress Mr. Mask."
Everyone sighed in disbelief. Who would have thought that an artist who wasn't affiliated with any company could push so many companies to this point?
It's not that they didn't want to take action, but the quality and reputation of "Ten Years of Ambush" speak for themselves.
Whoever goes in will die!
Ancient melodies are not something that ordinary pop songs can easily imitate.
Li Dongsheng, director of Qunxing: "It seems that Mr. Mask has not made any moves in November. We had Situ Hailing release a song at the beginning of the month to secure the position first."
Whale Joy Director Liang Ke: "Given Beehive Bar's track record, will they try something again next month?"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up +1"
"Shut up +2"
...
Before the war even started, he was already disrupting the morale of the army. In ancient times, Liang Ke would have been beheaded.
This also made them somewhat irritable.
Please, stop causing trouble and give us a way out!
Who would have thought that Mr. Mask alone could cause such a stir in the music industry, becoming a veritable demon king?
While others were gritting their teeth, Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning had already boarded a plane bound for the land of cacti.
The land of cacti is located in North America, directly below the United States. It gets its name from the fact that cacti are an essential part of its cuisine.
At the same time, the land of cacti is also the birthplace of tequila.
The two plan to open their first overseas Hive Bar here.
What kind of chemical reaction will occur when tequila is paired with tequila-based cocktail ingredients in its birthplace?
That's hard to say!
Lu Jiuning held Bei Chen's arm, and seeing that Bei Chen no longer needed to be restrained by masks and sunglasses, she was genuinely happy for Bei Chen.
"Chen, does this count as sneaking out on a date?"
Bei Chen peeled the orange, cleaned off the white pith, and then fed it to Lu Jiuning, saying, "Of course it counts!"
"We are well-known in China, but in the land of cacti, we can travel openly and legitimately."
Then we'll go to the coastline of Cancun to see the blue sea and sky.
"Go to the Pyramid of the Sun and experience its ancient, mysterious atmosphere..."
Bei Chen had clearly done thorough research...
