Chapter 851: It Was Originally a Gift
It is undeniable that in the fourth video, Liu Yu's performance was intended to please foreigners and win their favor, just like some foreigners who become internet celebrities in China, learning to speak Chinese and sing Chinese songs.
Liu? was extremely busy, but he still found time to shoot this video. The shooting was the idea of He Lushen. Seeing that "Princess of the Han Dynasty" was gaining momentum on the Internet, He Lushen was no longer satisfied with just reposting old videos. He urgently needed the kind of content that could set the Internet on fire.
So he called Liu? again, transferred another 2 million to her, and asked her to shoot something new.
Liu asked him what exactly the new thing was.
In fact, He Lushen didn't have any good ideas. He was caught off guard. He didn't expect that foreign netizens would be so fond of Liu?'s ancient music. His father praised him and said that the film promotion and planning work was very good! For several days, he was so excited that he couldn't even sleep. He felt that he had finally turned the corner! His only idea now was to make the "Han Dynasty Princess" account continue to be popular, preferably more and more popular, so that not only "Han Palace Autumn Moon" would not worry about the foreign box office, but even "War of the North Wind" could be released abroad!
But He Lushen is not a real internet celebrity after all. He has no experience in being an internet celebrity. How can he attract more fans? He Lushen only knows that internet celebrities, especially those in the early stages, must maintain a good update speed, preferably once a day, such as Liu? in the early days, who live-streamed every night to retain fans. So he said to Liu?, "Play another song on the guqin. Any song is fine. As long as it is the latest, you can shoot it yourself and I will post it on the Internet."
The latest?
Due to the accumulation of various things during this period, Liu? was seriously negligent in practicing the piano. If she were asked to play those classic songs, without two or three days of preparation and practice, the things she played would definitely be unsatisfactory. She couldn't treat foreigners as fools and just take a video to deal with it. Foreigners are indeed not familiar with Chinese music and Chinese instruments, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to appreciate art. Liu? also saw the comments on foreign websites. There is no need to be strong. Many enthusiastic domestic netizens have screenshoted the foreign comments and translated them into long pictures, which were posted on Weibo to let other netizens and Liu? herself experience how popular she is abroad. From the content of these comments, it can be seen that many foreign audiences are very professional and comment on music. If Liu? is lazy, these picky audiences will definitely find out immediately.
He Lushen accidentally and with great difficulty promoted a small part of Chinese culture abroad, but just when it has attracted a little attention, he starts to deal with it perfunctorily. Isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?
...

Besides, fans at home and abroad love and trust her so much, she can't just take things lightly.
So Liu chose to play "you??are??my??love".
Because this is one of the only two songs she has played recently, the other one being "Autumn Moon".
Liu was deeply impressed by the song Yu Zhan sang for her in the bar, and she could not forget it. She thought "You Are My Love" was their love song, and its meaning was no different from the love tokens in ancient times. After moving in with Yu Zhan, Liu found the original version of the song and listened to it several times. The original version was definitely the best, but in her mind, it was still not as good as Yu Zhan's singing. After all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
At that time, Liu took the time to try to adapt "You Are My Love" into a guqin score. Originally, she wanted to give it as a birthday gift, playing it for Yu Zhan on his birthday as a surprise return gift.
It is not an easy task to change modern music, especially American pop music, into a melody that fits the style of Guqin music, while retaining its classic core. Liu? revised it intermittently for a month before it was finished. After more than a dozen versions, she played and practiced each version quietly when Yu Zhan was not at home. After several revisions, she finally decided on the final draft.
Next, all he had to do was wait patiently for Yu Zhan's birthday. Plans could never keep up with changes, and He Lushen's mission was here. Everything had its priorities. Was it more important to celebrate Yu Zhan's birthday or to become an international internet celebrity? Liu He hesitated for a moment before choosing the latter. He could prepare other gifts for Yu Zhan's birthday, but this was probably the only chance for him to become famous around the world.
Liu? never conceals her ambitions. Therefore, in order to cooperate with He Lushen's work, she made this birthday gift public in advance. Yu Zhan was the one who filmed the fourth video, and the filming equipment was the new mobile phone he gave to Liu?. Liu? finished playing the whole song in the living room of his apartment, in one go, without any hesitation.
