"Teachers, may I leave now?"
Seeing Han Songyan, Kong Shen, and Mi Duo staring blankly at her, Bai Qianmo asked a question.
He seemed to have returned to a carefree and aloof state.
"Bai Qianmo, is this really just a hobby for you?"
Bai Qianmo blinked. She didn't make a living from this industry, nor did she formally apprentice under a master. It must be a hobby.
"Yes."
Kong Shen's brows furrowed tightly.
How is that possible? This playing level is already very professional, and it sounds so much like Yagami's.
Do you know Yagami?
"The Godfather of Music is very famous in the United States, but I don't know him."
"You really don't recognize him?"
Bai Qianmo shook her head firmly.
Han Songyan stared at Bai Qianmo with a complicated expression.
"Do you imitate Yagami's style?"
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow slightly: "My playing style is my style."
This sentence sounds light and airy, but it carries a lot of weight.
They're arrogant, but they certainly have the resources.
Mido murmured, "I still don't believe you're an amateur."
"Ms. Mi, it seems you're here to audition for a movie, not to verify the authenticity of the film, right? Director Kong, do I need to audition for other scenes?"
"Let's have a scene where the female lead, when she was young, passes by a music store and hears a piano piece for the first time."
The Legend of 1900 is set in a time of great upheaval and reconstruction after a period of social change.
The female protagonist, who grew up in a rural family that favored sons over daughters, accidentally passed by a music store when she went to the city with her mother to work. The female owner was playing the piano during her afternoon break.
This was the first time the female protagonist had ever heard the sound of a piano. From then on, she was deeply attracted by this melodious and clear sound, which seemed to come from the sky. She would even dream of sitting in front of a piano and playing it.
The scene Bai Qianmo auditioned for was the one on the day the female lead first entered the city.
A piano was placed on the stage; the props were ready.
But the music store owner is missing a piano player.
Kong Shen said to Han Songyan, "Teacher Han, would you please go up and help out for a bit?"
Han Songyan glanced at Bai Qianmo and stood up readily.
She walked slowly towards Bai Qianmo in her high heels. When she reached Bai Qianmo, a very soft voice entered Bai Qianmo's ear.
"come on!"
Han Songyan's voice was very soft; perhaps only the two of them could hear it.
Bai Qianmo paused slightly, then stood still.
Han Songyan walked to the piano and sat down, gently placing her hands on the keys. After a moment, a melodious piano sound began to rise.
Bai Qianmo composed herself, focused for a moment, and quickly got into the zone.
She walked from a corner of the stage, looking into each shop in the direction of the voice.
When she saw a music store, she stopped in her tracks, her bright eyes revealing surprise. She had never seen anything like it before. In the village, when families held weddings or funerals, they would play the erhu, suona, and gongs and drums.
The sound was unpleasant, somewhat harsh.
However, she loved the flute. There was an old man in the village who could play the flute, and he would often go to the fields to play it when he had nothing to do. To her, the sound was heavenly.
But seeing this huge thing today, she realized that there are even better sounds in the world.
His eyes went from surprise to delight, and finally he gently closed them, as if enjoying a brief but wonderful moment.
The music stopped, and the girl slowly opened her eyes. Her mother was calling her to hurry on her way.
Urged on by her mother, she could only hurry to catch up with her. After running a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around and took another deep look at the piano, as if saying goodbye, yet also filled with anticipation.
Those eyes, which were originally bright and clear, now held a hint of determination.
Kong Shen, who had been resting his chin on his hand, slowly withdrew his hand, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Slap slap..."
I couldn't help but clap and applaud.
Han Songyan stood up from the piano bench and looked at Bai Qianmo with a smile.
Bai Qianmo politely bowed to the judges' panel.
"You did a great job. You captured Qiu Mei's sense of wonder and longing perfectly."
"Thank you, Director Kong!"

Upon hearing the song "Lament" playing in the audition room, Bai Xiruo's smile vanished completely.
Her hands, resting on her thighs, were tightly intertwined, her fingers digging into them until they bled, and her chest felt so tight it felt like it was about to explode.
How could Bai Qianmo possibly play the piano?
How could that slut possibly learn something so expensive?
Based on her recent investigation, it is certain that Bai Qianmo did not leave that mountain valley before the age of 14. Even if she went to Y country in the six years after the age of 14, it would be impossible for her to reach this level of piano skill in just six years.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Could it be that Bai Qianmo isn't actually the Bai family's daughter? Is she an imposter?
"Bai Qianmo has been inside for ten minutes already. When we auditioned, we only lasted about five minutes before coming out. This time, I'm afraid..." The female artist next to her whispered to her friend.
"Bai Qianmo's performance of 'Lament' just now really impressed me. Her skill level is completely at the level of a pianist. Director Kong Shen likes people with real talent the most. As long as Bai Qianmo's acting skills are up to par, this role is almost certainly hers."
"Most importantly, the actress who played Han is the adult version of the character in this movie. If Bai Qianmo can pass the audition, she looks so much like Han, which will make it easier for the audience to get into the story."
"Sigh, I thought Bai Xiruo was already excellent enough, and I thought Bai Qianmo was just a bronze level player, but I didn't expect her to be a king."
"After all, she is the biological daughter of the famous actress Han. Her genetic inheritance and talent are something that cannot be made up for later in life."
They had all initially intended to mock Bai Qianmo, but the song "Sorrow" completely changed their minds.
Hearing everyone praising Bai Qianmo, Bai Xiruo's face twisted with anger.
