All-rounder Artist-Chapter 883 - 832 Turning Point

The next day.

When Lin Yuan went to the company to work, he took the opportunity to go online and check the response to "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern."

There was still a lot of discussion among netizens.

The audience's comments were mostly very positive.

For instance, Erlang Shen's appearance won the hearts of countless people.

Lin Yuan had previously invested heavily in promoting "Journey to the West," and at the time, many people thought that such cost-ignorant investment could not possibly recoup its costs, even facing resistance from the company side, feeling there was no need to pour so much money into it.

But now.

The related benefits had already become evident.

Riding on the popularity of "Journey to the West," "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern," having only released two episodes, had gained considerable attention!

On the three major video streaming platforms the company partnered with.

"The Legend of the Lotus Lantern," with merely two episodes aired, almost simultaneously climbed to the top of the playback charts on several video websites!

The daily streaming volume, all entering the top three!

On one website, it even squeezed into the top spot on the daily charts!

This was the trend of a hit drama; if there were no issues with the later plot, it was a surefire hit.

"The beginning is very smooth."

Lin Yuan quietly let out a sigh of relief.

This was the first derivative work of "Journey to the West."

In his plans, there would be other derivative works from "Journey to the West" in the future.

If the first one failed, it might affect the other derivatives, so the current successful launch was indeed pleasing.

However...

The part of the drama that belonged to "Everlasting Regret" had not yet unfolded.

The later plot was too heartwarming.

As to what the future held, Lin Yuan himself couldn't say for sure but was generally optimistic.

The Blue Star audience could even accept "Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange," so a drama that was more extreme in its playfulness shouldn't pose any problem, right?

Thinking this way.

Lin Yuan arrived at the company.

Inside his office.

A lovely figure sat on the couch, anxiously waiting.

Suddenly.

The door opened.

The lovely figure immediately stood up and looked towards Lin Yuan as he entered, her tone slightly excited:

"Teacher Admirable Fish!"

"Sorry for the wait."

Lin Yuan spoke and looked at the woman in front of him.

It was November by now, and there was a hint of chill in the air; the woman in front of him wore a slim-fitting white jacket for warmth, and underneath her delicate makeup, she had a perky nose and large eyes, the very image of a goddess.

Indeed, she was a goddess, the "Piano Goddess," to be precise.

That's right.

This woman was Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was summoned by Lin Yuan.

For the Song of Gods battle in December, Lin Yuan planned to perform "Nocturne."

Considering that Zhong Continent was sending two individuals, one of whom was Maestro, who excelled at classical piano, Lin Yuan had already decided to release Director Zhou's "Nocturne" while also taking Chopin's pieces out!

To let Chopin go up against Maestro!

And he had chosen Gu Xi as the performer.

After all, Gu Xi was the only pianist Lin Yuan was familiar with and whose level was sufficiently high.

Lin Yuan could also perform himself, yet his piano skills remained at a professional level.

Compared to the near-master level of Gu Xi, there was still a gap.

So, Lin Yuan thought it would be better to save his effort.

Just as one would choose a singer for a song.

Lin Yuan was certainly going to choose the most suitable pianist to play "Nocturne."

Since his own level wasn't enough to be the most suitable interpreter for "Nocturne" at the moment, there was no need to force it.

But speaking of which.

There was another reason for choosing Gu Xi:

She had previously helped Lin Yuan out a bit.

Sometimes when recording songs at Yu Dynasty, they would get her to handle the piano part.

Any one of Chopin's "Nocturnes" could be considered a classic masterpiece.

Lin Yuan could casually give any one of them to a capable pianist, and it would directly contribute to their career to a certain extent because performing this piece had huge benefits!

And Lin Yuan chose to give this opportunity to Gu Xi.

When it comes to matters of assistance, there must be reciprocity; otherwise, even if he didn't know any other piano masters, he would surely be able to find some if he tried.

He believed there wouldn't be a pianist on Blue Star who could resist the charm of "Nocturne."

"What is it that Teacher Admirable Fish wanted to see me about?"

Gu Xi looked at Lin Yuan with eagerness and anticipation.

Upon receiving his call, she immediately postponed many things and rushed to Starlight, even arriving before Lin Yuan.

There were generally only two reasons when Lin Yuan sought out Gu Xi.

The first reason was that Lin Yuan needed help; the second reason was that Lin Yuan had a new piece of music.

"I have two pieces that I'd like you to perform."

This time it was the second reason, and the one that Gu Xi was most looking forward to!

Lin Yuan directly brought out the sheet music, which turned out to be the "Nocturne" he had prepared in advance.

There were two pieces in total.

The first: "Nocturne in E-Flat Major."

The second: "Nocturne in B-Flat Minor."

In fact, Chopin's "Nocturnes" are not the title of a work, but rather a genre of piano solo pieces on Earth.

This style belonged exclusively to Chopin!

Created by Chopin himself!

The complete "Nocturnes" certainly consist of more than two pieces.

It's a series, and together with the posthumously edited pieces of Chopin, there are twenty-one "Nocturnes" in total.

Lin Yuan hadn't brought out all twenty-one pieces.

The two he had chosen were the most representative pieces of Chopin's "Nocturnes" series.

Having these two "Nocturnes" was sufficient.

Even one was enough.

The rest could be supplemented later.

After all, the impact of the entire series rested on the quality of these two pieces.

Time was mainly the issue.

If he presented all twenty-one pieces, Gu Xi would find it hard to master them all before the end of the month.
