Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1254, Section 474: A Perfect Farewell! A preview of Boss X's new book?
The lingering echoes of Beethoven's final notes seemed to still resonate in the hall, mingling with the applause from the audience, leaving everyone deeply moved.

"Wow——————"

Ang Lee put down the bouquet in his hand and bowed deeply to the audience once again.

Applause is the best reward for the stage.

But Ang Lee knows that today's stage is not just for him, but also for the orchestra and conductor behind him.

He presented one of the bouquets to the orchestra's concertmaster as a gesture of the highest respect to the orchestra.

The orchestra's concertmaster immediately stood up and gave him a warm hug on the cheek.

Watching this scene, Little Tiger, who was already sitting on the toilet, thought to himself that it was fortunate that the band's principal was a man, otherwise his teacher's wife would definitely be jealous!

After embracing the orchestra's concertmaster, Ang Lee finally came to the conductor's podium, smiling as he extended his arms once again.

Rolf was no longer as reserved as he was offstage, and even became more proactive.

The two embraced, and Ang Lee chuckled softly, "How about we try some braised pork together tomorrow?"

Rolf burst into laughter upon hearing this, expressing great interest in Ang Lee's suggestion.

So from the audience's perspective, no one knew what the two were whispering to each other; all they could see were the exceptionally bright smiles on their faces.

Just like this Beethoven piece tonight, it is infinitely bright.

Finally, the conductor and the soloist bowed together to take their final bows.

And just like that, yet another solo concert by Ang Lee came to an end.

The collaboration with the Rotterdam Symphony Orchestra at the Grand Theatre concluded perfectly. (√)
Usually, a celebratory banquet is held after such a concert.

Tang Zhongfu originally planned to host a grand banquet for Li An, but Li An politely declined.

Ang Lee's reasoning is that young people want to relax after finishing their work.

Yang Hui expressed her strong agreement with this.

However, they still had to have a meal, and Ang Lee suggested that they postpone the so-called celebration banquet until noon tomorrow.

It just so happened that Mr. and Mrs. Tang Jingren were planning to invite Rolf to their home, and their two children were also eager to cook a meal for everyone, so they decided to bring them together.

After some discussion among the adults, it was decided that the two children would prepare lunch for everyone the next day, and that Rolf, the conductor, would be invited to come over for lunch.

At the entrance of the Grand Theatre.

Ang Lee waved goodbye to the Tang family, saying, "Goodbye everyone, see you tomorrow morning!"

Tang Xiaoxing: "See you tomorrow morning, teacher!"

Little Car: "See you tomorrow morning, teacher!"

Then, Xiao Che followed Tang Xiaoxing into Yang Hui's car, and Li An also got into Boss X's car.

The nightlife of young people begins. (X)

What kind of young person is Boss X? (√)
On the way to the restaurant where he had arranged to meet Lao Tang and his group, Boss X explained, "I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'll just sit for a bit and then I'll have to leave."

Ang Lee expressed his understanding, saying that Boss X had been busy with various things for his and Che'er's concert these past two days.

Not only that, the other party also has to send Tang Xiaoxing to Chengdu with him the day after tomorrow.

"Brother Yan, why don't you stay here and go back to rest early?"

"It's not that bad, I'll go inside and wait a bit."

Ang Lee nodded: "How's your novel coming along lately?"

Boss X sighed, "Where would I find the time? It's been a week since the last update, I don't even dare to look at the backend."

Ang Lee: "So what should we do? What will be the consequences?"

Boss X: "What can we do? We'll just make it up to the readers later."

Ang Lee: "Hey, brother, what's the name of your novel? Let me read it."

Boss X: "Ahem, I'll definitely tell you next time I make a bet."

Ang Lee scoffed, "You always make movies, when are you going to write your next one?"

Boss X: "Oh, don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. I'll tell you first in the next book."

Ang Lee: What subject matter?

Boss X: "Do you usually read novels?"

Ang Lee: "I basically don't watch them."

Boss X: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Ang Lee: Tell me about it.

After a moment of contemplation, Boss X said, "It's probably about the male protagonist being reborn back to his high school days."

Ang Lee: "Campus Stories"

Boss X: "Hmm."

Ang Lee: "High school life should be quite interesting. What kind of job did the male protagonist have before his rebirth?"

Boss X: "How about a pianist?"

Ang Lee: "Hahaha, that's great!"

Boss X: "Hey Ang Lee, don't you think the male lead's starting point is too high?" Ang Lee: "He's already been reborn, why would he care about the starting point? Besides, isn't the theme of campus life romance? Why play the piano?"

Boss X: "That's true, but readers will get tired of just talking about romance, and it's not easy to write a long story."

Ang Lee: "Why don't you just focus on dating one girl? Right? It's like an etude, which only has one theme. No matter how well a composer writes it, it can only be that long. A sonata is different. It not only has multiple themes, but it can also have three or four movements."

Boss X: "Tsk tsk, your analogy is really... But I just want to write a female protagonist."

Ang Lee: "Pure love."

Boss X coughed and said, "Hmm."

Ang Lee pondered and murmured, "If it's a pure love story and I want to write it long, then I'll stretch out the timeline and let the readers see a complete life process, from their first meeting to getting to know each other, falling in love, getting married and having children, and finally growing old together over the long years. At the end, under the setting sun, the two white-haired old people walk hand in hand back to the place where they first met. That should make it longer."

Boss X was rendered speechless.

a long time.

"Ang Lee, do you like reading stories like this?"

Ang Lee: "I enjoy reading books that are well-written."

Boss X: "A greeting can resolve this."

Ang Lee: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Boss X: "It's hard to write, I think it's too bland."

Li An chuckled inexplicably: "Don't the protagonists in web novels all have cheat codes? Let's give the protagonist a cheat code. He plays the piano, so let him get rewards by playing the piano. Readers should like that."

Boss X: "To be honest, I'm a bit tired of this. This time, I just want to write a simple love story with joy, understanding, companionship, warmth, and growth, but I don't want it to be too melodramatic."

Ang Lee: "Strictly speaking, a story like this shouldn't have any melodramatic plot twists."

Boss X: "What I mean is, how should I put it, there has to be conflict. Without conflict, there is no story. It's like dealing with two repeated sentences. If you don't create a strong contrast between the two, there's no dramatic effect in the sound, and it won't grab people's attention."

Ang Lee: "The protagonist can't just do whatever he wants; there have to be obstacles that restrict him."

Boss X: "Yes, he has to constantly encounter obstacles, but he can't make the readers feel that it's melodramatic."

Ang Lee: "The theme is love."

Boss X: "Love."

Ang Lee: "The obstacle to love is not being able to be together."

Boss X: "We can't be together."

Ang Lee: "From the point where we couldn't be together, to the point where we still couldn't be together, weren't there many stories that happened in between, and even bigger stories to come?"

Boss X's eyes lit up: "Go on."

Ang Lee pondered for a moment: "Why not just have the female lead get a terminal illness, the kind that can't be cured? Then the male lead can gain a profound understanding of life through her death, which leads to a further breakthrough in his performance. Let's change the ending: Under the setting sun, he and his wife come to the tree where they met the female lead. The setting sun stretches their shadows long, and his wrinkled face should have a smile of reminiscence. At this moment, the piece he played for the female lead for the first time plays, which should be a light melody with a touch of warmth and a school atmosphere."

"The whole book is finished."

Boss X: "You'd better get out of the car."

As he spoke, Boss X shifted into reverse and slowly parked the car in the empty parking space in front of the restaurant.

Turn off the engine!
A moment later, "This is a stage accident!"

Ang Lee disagreed: "This is also a kind of pure love. The female lead certainly doesn't want the male lead to grow old alone."

Boss X: "Want the pen?"

Ang Lee: "I'm just a pianist. If you're going to make this story into a TV series, I can play the last piece."

Boss X sighed: "You don't understand online novels at all, and you can't say that. It's that they can't be written like that, you know?"

Despite his stubbornness, Boss X couldn't shake the images of Ang Lee's description from his mind.

"Hey Uncle, we've arrived at the private room!"

While answering Hai Tao's call, Ang Lee was also thinking that it was a bit melodramatic to have the female lead get a terminal illness.

It's like a Korean drama from twenty years ago.

For a moment, he seemed to be immersed in a creative scene, his mind filled with images of his youth.

Boss X: "We'll be at Liangshan soon too."
-
While Ang Lee and his group of young and soon-to-be-old young people were already eating, Xiao Che and Tang Xiaoxing had just returned home.

Yang Hui first took Old Man Tang home, taking a slightly longer route.

As soon as they got back inside, the two girls immediately got busy.

"Braised pork."

As Xiao Che spoke, Tang Xiaoxing quickly took notes on her phone.

“Twice-cooked pork.”

"Boiled fish, wait, is there anyone in your family who can't eat spicy food?"

"He can eat everything, but Grandpa has been having some internal heat lately."

"Then I'll skip the boiled fish and have the pickled cabbage fish instead."

"My goodness, Linlin, you're so amazing!"

There is another chapter tonight
