This star is a bit wild

Chapter 96 The collapse of rituals and music
Yenching, Central Conservatory of Music staff housing building.

"Wife, eat some fruit."

Jiang Zhengsheng, who had just finished work, walked from the kitchen to the living room with some freshly cut fruits, placed them on the coffee table in front of Yang Wan, and then sat down next to her.

"It's already past nine o'clock. When will our girl appear?"

Jiang Zhengsheng raised his hand to push up his glasses and asked his wife Yang Wan.

"Right away."

"The next show will be our girl and Chu boy."

While answering her husband's question, Yang Wan raised her hand and took off the mask on her face.

Although she is already 45 years old, there is no trace of the passing of time on her face. She looks like a beautiful young woman in her thirties, and her temperament is particularly outstanding. Her eyebrows and eyes are % similar to Jiang Shu, with a beautiful face and outstanding neckline.

"Hey……"

"This girl is really having a blast outside."

"Originally, I asked her to participate in Gu Yu's program because I wanted her to improve her social skills and interact with people her age. I didn't want her to really fall in love."

Jiang Zhengsheng sighed softly, his expression slightly depressed as he spoke: "Who would have thought that our daughter, who usually treats no one of the opposite sex with politeness, would have a special liking for this Chu kid. She just hangs around him every day. It really worries me to death!"

"Isn't this normal?"

"My daughter is already 22 years old. What girl doesn't have spring fever?"

"When Jiang Jiang and I were growing up, we were already married."

"Chu Hang is tall, handsome, and talented in music. He's also good at coaxing people and can cook delicious Sichuan cuisine. Is it strange that our daughter would fall in love with him?"

Yang Wan knew very well how Jiang Zhengsheng felt at the moment. It felt as if the little cotton-padded jacket she had worn for more than 20 years was suddenly worn by someone else, and she could only watch helplessly, and even had to actively spend gold coins to let the other person wear it. It would be strange if that feeling could be good.

"Come to think of it, my daughter is quite similar to me. We are both talented women who love talented men."

Yang Wan picked up a piece of orange and put it into her mouth, sighing in a leisurely tone.

Jiang Zhengsheng, who had originally looked a little depressed, couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction upon hearing this. However, before he could say anything, he heard Yang Wan say, "But our daughter is better than me. Chu Hang is really talented, and a well-rounded one."

"How is it that I'm better than you?"

Jiang Zhengsheng said unconvincedly, "I think this Chu kid is still quite a bit behind me, right?"

"Yo?"

"A few days ago, someone listened to Chu Hang's 'Dance of Flowers' and played it over and over again at home?"

Yang Wantai raised her eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Jiang Zhengsheng's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and then he argued, "I admit that the piano piece is indeed very good, but compared to the piano pieces I've composed before, there's still some gap!"

"Chu Hang is only 24 this year. When you were 24, did you create anything comparable to 'Dance of the Flowers'?" Yang Wan's smile widened. "And Chu Hang is more handsome than you, you have to admit that, right?"

"If a man is too handsome, he will easily attract peach blossoms!"

Jiang Zhengsheng's defenses were somewhat broken. He said angrily, "If our daughter really gets together with him in the future, won't she be worried every day?"

"Oh?"

"You sound very experienced?"

"It seems like you've had a lot of romantic interests over the years, haven't you?"

Suddenly, Yang Wan changed the subject, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes narrowed.

There is murderous intent!
Jiang Zhengsheng, who was originally indignant, suddenly became extremely clear in his eyes.

"daughter in law!"

"In my mind, you are the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"How could I possibly look down on someone else when you're here?"

Jiang Zhengsheng's face was full of seriousness, and he patted his chest and spoke with certainty.

"Humph~"

"No matter how fragrant the flowers at home are, they are not as fragrant as the wild flowers~"

Yang Wan hummed softly and said, "Don't they say on the internet that eating all kinds of meat and fish all the time can get boring, and you need to change your taste occasionally?"

"Wife, I'm different from them. I just like to eat big fish and meat. I can eat as much as I want, even every day, and I never get tired of it!"

Jiang Zhengsheng put on a forced smile and moved closer to Yang Wan.

"Don't move your hands!"

"It's the girl's turn!"

Facing Jiang Zhengsheng's big hand that was as accurate as a positioning cruise, Yang Wan raised her hand and slapped it, with a hint of anger in her voice.

Jiang Zhengsheng withdrew his hand with a somewhat embarrassed expression, but he actually felt relieved.

Time is not forgiving!
In the past, I could get three meters away against the wind, but now my feet are wet with the wind!
At this moment, on the 100-inch TV screen in front, host Han Zheng had just finished announcing the show. As the stage gradually became dim, detailed information about the song Chu Hang was about to sing tonight appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

……

Song: Flower Guardian

Singer: Chu Hang

Lyricist: Chu Hang

Composer: Chu Hang

Arranger: Chu Hang

……

On the stage, when the brilliant light gate slowly dispersed, Chu Hang and Jiang Shu, dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, slowly walked out of it, and the scene suddenly erupted in warm cheers.

"Yo?"

"A three-stringed zither?"

"Young man Chu also has experience in folk music?"

Jiang Zhengsheng looked at the musical instrument in Chu Hang's hand, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What's so strange about this?"

"Chu Hang can play the electric guitar so well, so shouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to quickly master the balalaika?"

Yang Wan felt that Jiang Zhengsheng was making a fuss. She then pointed at Jiang Shu, who was standing behind Chu Hang on the left side of the screen, and said with a smile, "Look at how excited our daughter is. I don't think she was as excited as she is now when she held her solo concert at the National Centre for the Performing Arts."

"Maybe it was because it was my first time participating in this kind of variety music competition, so it felt quite novel and interesting for a while."

Jiang Zhengsheng also felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

As the two were talking, the cheers on the stage gradually died down. Chu Hang was seen standing in the middle holding a sanxian, and Jiang Shu was standing at the left rear holding a pipa.

On the right rear side of Chu Hang was the female musician that the program team had found according to Chu Hang’s request. She was also wearing Hanfu and had a guzheng in front of her.

"Thumping!"

"Thumping!"

"Thumping!"

Several electronic simulation sounds rang out in succession. Just when the scene had become completely quiet and the performance was about to begin, Chu Hang, Jiang Shu and the female guzheng player suddenly took out a pair of round-framed black sunglasses from their wide sleeves and put them on their faces.

The next second, Chu Hang and Jiang Shu plucked the strings in their hands at the same time.

antiquity?

Not at all ancient!
Extremely dynamic music came from Chu Hang's sanxian and Jiang Shu's pipa, while Chu Hang and Jiang Shu stood in place, sliding left and right and shaking their heads.

Especially Jiang Shu, she wore a retro headdress and a peach blossom hairpin. Every time her little head nodded and swayed, the pendant of her headdress and the tail of the peach blossom hairpin would sway rhythmically. Coupled with her little face that was rosy with excitement, she looked very cute, just like a large doll figurine.

……

This evening I ran into the girl of my dreams on the street

Two feet decided to ignore her call and go home
The cold wind in the middle of the night

Don't blow her away

Her dark eyes are about to speak to me
……

Only after Chu Hang's extremely standard Cantonese singing voice came through the speakers did the audience recover from their shock.

good good!
Fun, huh?
We had been looking forward to this ancient Chinese style song for half the night, but it turned out to be a Cantonese song with a Hong Kong style?!
But why is this song so magical?

Hey, hey, hey!
Why are my hands and feet a little out of control?
Influenced by Chu Hang's singing, many audience members stood up from their seats and swayed their bodies along with Chu Hang on the stage. Combined with the retro sound and light effects in the studio, everyone felt as if they had traveled back to the 90s when dance halls were popular.

……

Greedy evening breeze

Dare to hug and kiss her

Let her hair down gently, strand by strand

Dirty evening breeze

Don't comfort her

I have decided to protect her in my heart for the rest of my life
……

In the previous few episodes, Chu Hang was always on edge and was in a competitive state under high pressure every time.

Only today, Chu Hang was completely enjoying the stage. And because he brought Jiang Shu with him, he just let himself go and treated the stage as a playground for him and Jiang Shu, playing however he wanted.

After the main song started, Chu Hang put the sanxian aside. He held the microphone in his hand and walked next to Jiang Shu. Not only were their bodies in the same frequency, but they were also interacting with each other constantly.

When Chu Hang sang "Let her hair down gently, strand by strand", he really stretched out his fingers and gently twisted a strand of Jiang Shu's hair. And when he sang "I have decided to protect her in my heart for the rest of my life", he and Jiang Shu looked at each other in tacit understanding.

In the live broadcast room, as soon as Chu Hang and Jiang Shu started playing, countless barrages and comments began to pour in.

"Wow, this is really great! I've only heard of ancient music sung in modern times before, but this is the first time I've seen modern music sung in ancient times. Chu Hang, you really have a way with it!"

"Isn't this simply the collapse of ritual and music? Playing the pipa and guzheng while shaking your head and dancing? How is this any different from Daiyu racing, the Emperor of Qin circling the pillar, the Buddha shaking his head, and Tang Monk dancing?"

"Chu Hang, what do you think of 'Singer'? Others are fighting like crazy over there, trying to get a good ranking, and you're here, frantically flirting with girls?"

"Come on, kill me to help the guys have fun!"

"No? Chu Hang, what have you done to our Central Conservatory of Music's Chinese Music Department's goddess? Making Jiang Shu dance with you while playing the pipa? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Chu Hang is such a musical genius! This song gets more and more addictive the more I listen to it. Even my dog ​​is shaking his head!"

“It’s so interesting and unexpected!”

"Good work deserves reward!"

"I need a neat team now. Don't follow me if you don't have a plan!"

……

There were many netizens in the live broadcast room, and their reactions were basically the same as those of the audience. They were all confused at first, and then they all became inexplicably excited to the beat of the music.

This is "The Flower Guardian", which remains infinitely charming even across time and space.

You should know that this song was released in Chu Hang's previous life in 1991. Even today, thirty years later, it is still popular and widely sung. It is also a must-sing song for people across five generations, including those born in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s, when they go to KTV.

As long as its music plays, no matter when and where, it can immediately make the deserted atmosphere become lively, which shows how great its charm is.

……

The cold wind in the middle of the night

Don't blow her away

Her dark eyes are about to speak to me
The slender figure flutters and turns silently

Tell me romantic lover, do you love me?
……

In the lounge, all the online singers who had just finished their performances gathered together. Donna and the others saw Chu Hang performing like crazy on the stage and all stood up from their seats, with smiles on their faces that could not be concealed.

"Good boy!"

"No wonder he was so hesitant and evasive when I asked him if he was going to sing a traditional Chinese song tonight. It turns out he was holding back something big!"

Donna made her debut today and her performance was quite stable throughout the whole show, so she was in a very good mood. Seeing Chu Hang performing crazily on the stage, she couldn't help but laugh.

"It turns out that you can play the shamisen and pipa like this!"

Ma Xiangwen also smiled and gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Awesome!"

"So hi!"

“This song is really good for dancing!”

“It feels so good!”

As a fun-loving person, Su Hong just held hands with his personal assistant and started dancing. His retro dance steps were particularly smooth.

"Don't think Chu Hang is just playing around, but this song is really trendy, and the arrangement is especially memorable. I have a feeling that after tonight, this song will definitely be a hit in the streets and alleys. It's so catchy!"

Donna was just watching the fun, but as a veteran singer, she still had a very sharp eye. She dared to give her professional prediction in a confident tone in front of the live camera, without any fear of being slapped in the face, which shows how optimistic she was about this song.

At this moment, the singers' lounge was bustling with activity, but Jiang Shu's home far away in Yanjing was unusually quiet.

"Nonsense!"

"How dignified!"

Yang Wan, who had a smile on her face at the beginning, now had her brows tightly furrowed and her face looked a little darker.

Jiang Zhengsheng's expression was completely different from Yang Wan's. He looked at Jiang Shu on the TV screen, who was happy, with a rosy face and an extremely excited look. The corners of his lips had been raised from the beginning to now.

"Cough cough..."

"It's really too much!"

"How dignified!"

Just as Jiang Zhengsheng's body was swaying quietly to the music, he suddenly felt a slightly sharp gaze sweeping over him, which made him dare not move anymore. He hurriedly coughed twice and echoed Yang Wan.

"Before you say that, could you put away your smile?"

Yang Wan glared at Jiang Zhengsheng and said unhappily.

"hey-hey……"

"Wife, don't be so old-fashioned."

Jiang Zhengsheng raised his hand and took Yang Wan's hand: "Music is universal, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. These two children have blended the past and the present very well."

"The fusion of the past and the present can't be done this way?"

"This girl is really having fun!"

"I was wondering why she looked so excited before the performance!"

"So he was holding back on his bad intentions!"

Yang Wan started learning pipa since she was young. Her parents and ancestors were all masters of folk music, and the rules and etiquette they instilled in her from childhood to adulthood were very traditional.

Jiang Shu had been taught this way since she was a child. Now that she saw Jiang Shu acting so unbecomingly on the stage, how could she not feel angry?

"Just have fun."

Jiang Zhengsheng smiled and reassured them, "It's just an entertaining music variety show. If the kids want to play, then let them play."

Speaking of which, Jiang Zhengsheng is considered an "oddball" at home.

His daughter-in-law Yang Wan is a famous pipa player. His parents, mother-in-law and father-in-law are also famous folk music masters. Even his daughter is a leading figure of the young generation in the field of folk music. Only he is engaged in modern music.

As the vice president of the Central Conservatory of Music, Jiang Zhengsheng's musical philosophy has always been the fusion of modern and traditional, Chinese and Western, and folk music and Western music, and his work direction has always revolved around this musical concept.

Unfortunately, he is the only one in the family who is involved in modern music. Although Yang Wan and others never interfere with his musical ideas, Yang Wan and others also have their own musical ideas, so he is currently in a state of "hard to find a soulmate" in this family.

Now, Jiang Zhengsheng looked at Chu Hang who was having fun on the stage. Seeing that he had integrated ancient and modern music so well, he inexplicably liked him a little more.

"I'll settle the score with this girl when she comes back from filming the variety show."

Yang Wan snorted softly, then glanced at Jiang Zhengsheng beside her: "Now, let me settle the score with you first."

"Ok?"

"What's your score with me?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Zhengsheng's eyes widened slightly, and he looked a little dazed.

"You just called me old-fashioned!"

"how?"

"You think I'm not interesting?"

"Old married couple tired of it?"

Yang Wan turned around, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

"What the hell is this!"

Jiang Zhengsheng quickly waved his hands: "I didn't mean that at all!"

"Humph……"

Yang Wan snorted softly, then stood up from the sofa under Jiang Zhengsheng's gaze. She then took off the rubber band from her right wrist and tied up her black hair. Finally, she pointed to the bedroom with her left hand: "Come on, follow me into the house!"

In an instant, Jiang Zhengsheng felt like the sky was falling.

Good news: She tied her hair up!
Bad news: She tied her hair!
"Wanwan, the girl hasn't finished her performance yet..."

Jiang Zhengsheng tried to struggle between suspended death sentence and immediate execution.

"Okay, then you watch first."

Yang Wan smiled gently at Jiang Zhengsheng: "It's convenient for me to mix you a small drink."

"What's a small drink?"

Jiang Zhengsheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I heard……"

“Goji berries paired with Jinjiu are super delicious~”

Yang Wantai raised her eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

"No, no, no!"

"Don't bother!"

"I won't watch it anymore, I'll come now!"

When Jiang Zhengsheng heard this, it was as if there were springs under his butt. He stood up from the sofa in an instant and then walked towards the bedroom with a look of despair.

"Remember to wash your hands."

"Oh."

……

Dirty evening breeze

Don't comfort her

I have decided to protect her in my heart for the rest of my life
……

On the stage, Jiang Shu had no idea that her dear old father at home was in dire straits. She was now having fun following Chu Hang, sometimes walking forward, sometimes walking backward, and sometimes swaying her body.

At the same time, Jiang Shu held the pipa in her arms, her slender white fingers dancing flexibly on the strings, and the melodious sound of the pipa poured out like a gurgling stream, showing her profound and exquisite pipa skills to the fullest.

The whole song lasted nearly five minutes. With the last line of lyrics, the song ended. However, the cheers of the audience never completely subsided from the beginning to the end of their singing.

At this moment, the whole scene was extremely lively. Everyone stood in place, shouting Chu Hang and Jiang Shu's names loudly.

Inside the live broadcast room, there was also a flood of comments.

"I'm going to stay up late tonight to learn this song. I have a party tomorrow, and I'm going to show off my singing and dancing skills in front of those little girls!"

"Chu Hang brought Jiang Shu to the singer's stage to sing 'Flower Guardian'. Isn't the implication a bit too obvious?"

"Do you know what it's like to be in love? That's a complete wife-doting maniac. I think Chu Hang is showing some signs of this now!"

"I'm supporting Hangshu CP. I'll donate 10000 yuan to their wedding. Remember to read it!"

"Just wait and see! This song 'Flower Guardian' will sweep the new song charts of all major music apps tomorrow. Right now, the top of all the new song charts on all major music apps are filled with Chu Hang's songs. This unrivaled momentum truly makes him worthy of the title of the Great Devil of the Music World!"

"A three-second silence for Han Shaojie, who's about to take the stage. He clearly didn't choose to challenge Chu Hang, but he still inevitably got hit by Chu Hang. With this frenzied atmosphere, it's going to be hard for him to catch it!"

"Su Hong is dancing in the singers' lounge. He's so happy today. I suggest that we let him be the contestant singer in the next chart-topping competition!"

"Second, I can't bear to see Su Hong so happy!"

……

As countless comments were scrolling, Chu Hang, who had just finished his performance, turned his head to look at Jiang Shu beside him, then naturally reached out his hand and held Jiang Shu's hand in front of everyone. Then the two of them strode to the front of the stage and bowed to the audience.

"Oh!"

When the audience saw Chu Hang and Jiang Shu holding hands to take their bow, they couldn't help but burst into extremely enthusiastic cheers, mixed with many whistles.

In fact, Jiang Shu didn't expect Chu Hang to hold her hand on the stage, so after her little hand was held by Chu Hang, she was a little confused.

It was not until she was led off the stage by Chu Hang and the two of them left the studio that she reacted belatedly. This made her face, which was already rosy from excitement, even more rosy and attractive.

"Did you have fun?"

After leaving the studio, Chu Hang naturally let go of Jiang Shu's little hand, and then asked her with a smile.

"so happy!"

Jiang Shu nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling.

"Then I'll take you out to play if I have the chance next time!"

Chu Hang knew Jiang Shu's good nature very well. He skillfully made a big promise to Jiang Shu, then said with a smile, "Let's go. We still have to go sit in the singers' lounge. After the show is over, I'll take you out for a midnight snack!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Shu agreed without even thinking about it.

"You agree so readily?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"

Chu Hang took Jiang Shu and walked towards the singers' lounge, teasing her.

"Will you sell me then?"

Jiang Shu tilted his head and asked Chu Hang back.

"will not."

Chu Hang shook his head slightly.

"Hum..."

"Then why should I be afraid!"

Jiang Shu whined and said that, her expression so soft and cute that Chu Hang almost couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face again.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the singers' lounge. Then, welcomed by many singers including Donna, they watched the showdown between Han Shaojie and Lydia...
