Chapter 447 Mu Chenxi gets slapped in the face 5
Fu Zhi's performance at the Mu family banquet encountered some obstacles.
Perhaps as more and more people learn Western music, traditional music has declined, and the Mu family really cannot find a suona for Fu Zhi to play right away.
In addition, Song Fang also hopes that Fu Zhi can be more normal and not be so outstanding.
Fu Zhi finally compromised and chose a guzheng.
The Mu family's guzheng needed someone to transport it from the backstage, so Fu Zhi was pulled backstage by Song Fang to personally check the quality of the guzheng.
The evening gown that Fu Zhi wore today was a modified version of the cheongsam style. She was so gentle, elegant and beautiful that no one could take their eyes off her.
Song Fang punished himself with a glass of wine for his recklessness, "Sister Zhi, you can blow the suona with all your strength, but it will take you several years to learn the guzheng. Can you perform in the future?"
"Oh," Fu Zhi glanced at him coldly, "You know to ask me now?"
Song Fang scratched his head awkwardly, "Isn't it because you can't stand other people talking about you? Look at Mu Chenxi's expression, it's obvious that she wants to use her musical instrument to suppress you! I was so angry at that time, how could my sister Zhi be suppressed by others?!"
If Ye Jiu were here, he would definitely tell her to shut up. The car wheel has already fallen on my sister's face, and it's so hypocritical to still be talking about whether to press her down or not.
Fortunately, Ye Jiu was not there, and Fu Zhi could not understand the deeper meaning of it. He just uttered a "..." to express his respect and stopped talking.

On the other side, in the dressing room of the banquet hall.
Mu Chenxi and Xu Tongtong were sitting inside with two or three reporters. Mu Chenxi lowered her voice and said, "You know the purpose of today's banquet. After Fu Zhi makes a fool of herself playing the guzheng, you can take the opportunity to interrupt and interview her, asking her if she is Bai Yu. Then the reactions of netizens in the live broadcast room will show who Fu Zhi is. You can write a few reports and send them out at that time."
Mu Chenxi was certain that Fu Zhi could not play the guzheng because during the time she had been at the school, she had not seen her go to any related institutions to study art. And even if she could, it was not certain that her guzheng playing could be as good as the piano she had studied for ten years.
The reporter also understood the twists and turns here very well. "Don't worry, we have no problem taking money to help others get rid of disasters."
Mu Chenxi waved her hand to signal the reporters to leave, and then she and Xu Tongtong walked out arm in arm, "Just wait and see, today is the beginning of Fu Zhi's downfall."
*
The Dunhuang Guzheng was placed in the center of the stage by the staff. The gold-inlaid Guzheng matched with Hetian white jade had a bit of maritime charm. The classical musical instrument was incompatible with the luxurious European and American style venue.
From the moment Fu Zhi stepped onto the stage, her every move was captured by the camera and projected onto the big screen, magnifying every detail.
The actors of the Mu family speculated maliciously:
"She plays a guzheng when she plays it, it's better to just play the suona randomly."
"Since she has such talent, she must know a little bit, but she is not very good at it..."
"I bet five bags of spicy noodles that she can't play as well as Miss Chenxi!"
"Do we need to gamble on this? Guzheng is not easy to learn. It requires hard work. But look at Fu Zhi's hands. They are delicate and tender. She doesn't look like she has endured hardships. Compared with Miss Chenxi who has studied piano for ten years, Fu Zhi is definitely not as good as her!"
The prelude music sounded in the banquet hall, and the tone of "Fighting the Typhoon" was set.
This is a famous traditional Guzheng solo piece. As the music starts to play, Fu Zhi starts plucking the strings.
Guzheng is a plucked instrument among traditional Chinese musical instruments. It has quite strong expressiveness. Especially the song "Fighting Typhoon" is already passionate. With every pluck of the strings, the momentum of swords and horses was overwhelming, and the cold and murderous atmosphere instantly spread throughout the banquet hall.
Those who were originally pessimistic and those who were whispering in ridicule in the hall, suddenly fell silent.
In particular, a group of veteran artists who understand art were all shocked. They resonated with Fu Zhi's music and even got goose bumps on their bodies. They were eager to realize their ambitions in this era of swords and rain.
The song "Fighting the Typhoon" is not difficult and is not more complicated than the piano piece "Wedding in a Dream".
Mu Chenxi thought that although Fu Zhi was quite capable, he was still far from being able to compare with her.
However, just as she finished her thought, Fu Zhi paused in plucking the strings, and then started playing a song called "Glory" by Addiction.
A melodious and compact tune sounded, and its unique timbre instantly pulled people into the prosperity of the world.
The atmosphere in the hall took a shocking turn!
"The speed of this highly synchronized left and right hand method is beautiful!"
The audience, who were also masters of playing the guzheng, couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
Other celebrities in the entertainment industry were also stunned.
Anyone who knows piano knows that "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "English Country Tunes" are known to be the most difficult piano pieces to play in the world. Sometimes, there are three hundred notes crammed into one bar on the score! When playing, the fingers almost seem to be flying on the piano.
In a sense, Yin's "Glory" is equivalent to the "Flight of the Wild Bee" in the guzheng music, and has won praise from a number of veteran artists in the industry.
Not everyone can play such a piece of music, after all, Mu Chenxi can't play it.
"She, could she be a hidden old artist?"
"Sorry, I want to take back everything I said and buy a bag of spicy noodles to calm my nerves."
"Folk music has no advantages over Western instruments. It is neither fashionable nor beautiful. It is the 'addiction' that has led to the craze for learning the guzheng in China. She can actually play "Glory". I am impressed!"
Mu Chenxi's face was no longer dark.
She caught a glimpse of the comments in the live broadcast room, all of which were praising Fu Zhi's abilities. She felt that Mu Chenxi was self-aware and knew that she could not compare to Fu Zhi, so she admitted it a long time ago.
Mu Chenxi was so angry that she almost died.
She's not here to start a discussion!
How did Fu Zhi learn to play the guzheng? !
Jiang Zong sat in the first row, gently twisted his fingertips, and looked at Fu Zhi on the stage with cold eyes.
For a moment, all the lights were on her.
The ups and downs of this world, the hustle and bustle of fireworks, are all in the sound of the guzheng. It plays from the prosperity of the world to the iron horses and the frozen rivers. The sound of the guzheng seems to have broken through time and space from afar, coming on the moon, and the fingertips on the strings and pillars are plucking back and forth so fast that it is dazzling. The music reveals grandeur and even endless fighting and fierce collisions. Everyone in front of them seems to be caught in endless darkness, waiting for the dawn of dawn.
This is a real auditory feast!
A thrilling and glorious event came to an end, and the banquet was still in silence.
I still feel unsatisfied.
This is a feeling shared by everyone, an appreciation that comes from the heart and cannot be hidden.
Until Jiang Zong's applause was the first to sound, and then, as if being pulled back to the real world, thunderous applause rang out in the banquet hall.
It is a tribute to "addiction" and also an admiration for Fu Zhi.
Ouyang Ya rubbed her brows, thinking of Mu Chenxi's solemn promise to her that Fu Zhi would make a fool of herself, and she became furious: "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"
"No, I didn't know she knew a musical instrument..."
Mu Chenxi bit her lower lip. She really didn’t know. If she knew, how could she let Fu Zhi steal her limelight?
"Since I came to Yucheng, everyone has told me they don't know anything about Fu Zhi. There are so many things you don't know. If you don't know, won't you check it out? If you don't know and you go ahead and do it, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Mu Chenxi's eyes were red, "I, I don't know."
Those are some suffocating words.
Ouyang Ya took a deep breath and pointed out to her: "What is the purpose of the banquet? To find Bai Yu and make Fu Zhi look ridiculous, but what about now? She even stole your limelight! You, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, have become her foil!"
Mu Chenxi was scolded so hard that she couldn't utter a word.
Ouyang Ya scolded her, but she didn't dare to refute, so she only resented Xu Tongtong, "You came up with the idea to get me the script for the sacrifice to heaven. Now the wind direction in the live broadcast room has changed again. Everyone knows that Fu Zhi is better than me, and she is more worthy of being a fairy than me!"
As someone at the bottom of the food chain, Xu Tongtong didn't even dare to refute. She just felt wronged. "I thought she was crude and not arrogant. She didn't seem like someone who could play our Western instruments. But I didn't expect that she could only play low-grade instruments."
No matter how well you play the guzheng, in Xu Tongtong's eyes, what's the difference between that and playing the erhu embarrassingly?
Learning Western musical instruments is a step above learning folk music!
"How about this, Fu Zhi wants to play the suona anyway, Chenxi, why don't you just satisfy her? She said she can play the suona just for the moment and it's annoying us. Which decent parent would teach their daughter to play the suona and not feel ashamed? If she can't play it, can't we just say that she doesn't respect us and curses us to death with the suona?"
