"Miss, what would you like to order?"
Xie Yu glanced at the menu: "Have a cup of tea."
After the waiter wrote it down: "Do you need anything else?"
"No need. Thank you." Xie Yu kept looking at the guqin on the table in front of him.On a small performance stage, a student-like boy was playing the Guqin on it.Seeing that the guest was focused on it, the waiter explained, "Miss, that gentleman is a student of Professor Gao Ningzhi from the Guqin Department of Huaxia Drama Academy. It was handcrafted by Ma Qiji, a generational qin master. Many guqin practitioners often come here to play for free because of that guqin.”
"Can anyone go up and play?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, but did not answer directly, but asked, "Miss can play?"
"A little bit more." Xie Yu said modestly.
"If Miss wants to play, she needs to go through our manager."
"Miss, your tea." The waiter took the tea brought by another waiter and gently placed it in front of Xie Yu.Xie Yu took a look and praised: "The tea is well brewed."
The waiter smiled and said, "Miss, do you understand tea?"
Xie Yun: "I don't really understand, but I know a thing or two."
"Miss, take it easy. I wish you a pleasant tea."
After Xie Yu nodded his thanks, the waiter moved to another place to serve him.
"Miss, our manager is free now, would you like to see him?" After a while, the waiter who had served Xie Yun came over with a smile on his face.
Xie Yu thought for a while and replied, "Okay."
"Zhu Hexun, I need a Guqin for the filming of "Legend of the Empress", and I can borrow this one from your shop." Wei Dianzhou explained his purpose.Zhu Hexun sat behind the desk, leaned on the swivel chair, crossed his legs, and said slowly: "I can't live without a piano for a day, you borrowed it, what should I do here."
Wei Dianzhou: "It will only be used for a few days, and I will return it to you when it is used up."
"No, you can use an ordinary show when you are filming. I want to play it for real here. If the quality of the piano is not good, come to a few experts and hear it. Isn't this a blow to my brand?"
"You don't have to play the guqin for now. There are so many guzheng, pipa, and flute, and the same goes for other things."
"Of course it's different. Other musical instruments are other musical instruments, and Guqin is irreplaceable and indispensable. Do you know how many customers come here every day for Guqin? Some customers don't hear other music except Guqin. Besides, A good Guqin instrument is much rarer than other instruments. If you want other instruments, I can lend you one, but Guqin is the only one. I only have one good Guqin here, and there is nothing extra. You can borrow it. But there is no substitute." Zhu Hexun was firm.Seeing that he really couldn't borrow it, Wei Dianzhou said, "He Xun, tell me how much you lose a guqin every day, and I'll give you the price."
"It's not just about money." Zhu Hexun, "Why do you do this? It's just a TV series, not a movie."
"You have to be good at making a TV series. If this "Legend of the Empress" is finished, it might be able to sweep the Golden Phoenix Awards next year."
Zhu Hexun thought for a moment, and said, "I can also borrow from you, but there is a request."
"You said."
"Just one day. Absolutely no more."
"He Xun, you still don't intend to borrow it. No matter what, one day is too little."
"If it doesn't work out in a day, then there's no need to talk about it."
"How about this way, you arrange the time to play the guqin every day, and we adjust the time for each use. This way, you can lend it to me, and you will not be delayed."
Zhu Hexun thought about it for a while, and finally compromised: "Okay, but let's say it first, you have to be careful when transporting it back and forth, if it is going to be destroyed, you won't have to pay for it."
"rest assured."
"General manager, the lady who can play the guqin is here." The waiter came in and reported.Zhu Hexun: "Let her in." Then he said to Wei Dianzhou, "You know that most people who learn the guqin don't like to entertain people. I have experts here who come to play the guqin because of their admiration for that guqin. Otherwise, I will be paid a high salary. It is difficult to hire a real piano master. You can protect this piano for me."
Xie Yu walked in from the door, and Zhu Hexun immediately sat upright, his eyes revealing surprise.Wei Dianzhou turned his head to look at the person who came in, showing a surprised expression.Before Xie Yu and Zhu Hexun spoke: "Is it you?"
Xie Yu nodded to Wei Dianzhou, his expression was the same, unlike Wei Dianzhou who was surprised, he looked at the man sitting behind the desk: "Hello."
Zhu Hexun: "Hi, please sit down." Looking at Wei Dianzhou, "Do you know each other?"
Wei Dianzhou nodded and said, "I met once."
Zhu Hexun looked at Xie Yun: "What do you call Miss? Can you play Guqin?"
Xie Yun said: "My surname is Xie, I know a little bit. The guqin here is good sir. I wonder if I can borrow it to watch it?"
"Of course, you can play it live. I'll see if it suits the ears of the guests." The implication is to see whether Xie Yu has the strength. If the piano skills are mediocre, it is impossible for Zhu Hexun to let her play. .
Xie Yu understood what he meant, but his intention was not to play to the customers in the store, but to use it alone. "I didn't mean to show up and play. I just wanted to see the violin."
Zhu Hexun stared at Xie Yu for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Okay." He ordered someone to bring the Guqin.When Xie Yu saw Guqin up close, his indifferent eyes immediately gathered light.He got up and walked to the guqin that the service staff put on the tea table, reached out to touch the body and strings of the piano, and pressed his fingers lightly, and a vague sound came out.The confusion came from afar, and the groaning lingered endlessly. "Okay!" Zhu Hexun clapped his hands in praise, and bowed his hands in salute, "Young lady is a master, please forgive me."
Xie Yu stared at Qin with abnormal concentration, as if he didn't hear Zhu Hexun's words.Zhu Hexun didn't mind either, and walked to Xie Yu's side: "This piano was made by the famous master Ma Qiyi in the Qing Dynasty, and it's named Xiaoshan."
Xie Yu stopped his hands, but his eyes were still looking at the piano, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Good piano." After speaking, his eyes returned to calm, and he looked at Zhu Hexun and said, "Thank you, sir, for borrowing the piano and watching. Farewell."
"Miss Xie is leaving now?" Zhu Hexun was surprised, "Aren't you going to play a song?"
Xie Yu shook his head and said: "There is no right time, no right place, I am afraid that I will let down such a good piano, so the rhyme of the piano will not be bad."
Zhu Hexun was speechless for a while, Xie Yu turned around and left in a cool manner.Zhu Hexun's outstretched hand was fixed in the air, and he opened his mouth for a while and said, "Let's go now."
Wei Dianzhou, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, got up and walked to the qin, and said, "I will use the qin for tomorrow's filming, so I will take it away. You can set a time, and I will send someone to deliver it, preferably in the evening after."
Zhu Hexun was still looking at the door, and gave a absent-minded "hmm".Wei Dianzhou chuckled: "The girl has gone far, what are you looking at?"
Zhu Hexun sighed: "You don't understand, this girl's piano skills are absolutely at the level of everyone. It's rare. It's been a long time since I heard such a high note."
Wei Dianzhou was taken aback: "It's as good as you said?"
Zhu Hexun nodded solemnly: "And this girl is really good-looking. By the way, how did you know each other?"
Wei Dianzhou smiled lightly and walked towards the door with the guqin in his arms: "I'm leaving."
***
Xie Yu, although Wei Dianzhou only met him once, that was the "Empress" audition, but the impression has always been deep.At that time, he asked Bu Shang for his contact information, but Bu Shang didn't know whether he forgot it or didn't send it to him on purpose.After a few days, he said that he didn't need Xie Yun.Wei Dianzhou did everything the author wanted, so he didn't ask much.I also heard some rumors, saying that she flaunted that she was going to play the leading role in "The Empress", and even postponed the invitation to interview for a contract.This seems to give the impression of being vain, self-righteous, and frivolous.Bu Shang probably had this impression of her.Wei Dianzhou didn't think Xie Yu was really that kind of person.Especially goodbye today.Where is this woman vain, frivolous, and self-righteous, she clearly has no dust in her eyes and nothing in her heart.
It is a surprise that she can play the guqin. The heroine in "The Empress" is good at playing the piano.If she had acted at that time, there would be no need to find another luthier to dub.
The car drove by and saw Xie Yun walking on the street with a sideways glance.Wei Dianzhou's car braked and fell back.Stopped next to Xie Yu, stuck his head out of the car window, waved to Xie Yu: "Hi!" Xie Yu turned to look at him, Wei Dianzhou smiled gently and said, "Where are you going? Do you need a ride?"
Xie Yu looked at the sky, thought for a while, and said without hesitation: "Then I will trouble you." Go back early to make the piano, maybe he can make it in the fastest time.Seeing Liangqin today, Xie Yu couldn't wait.He secretly decided to make a piano in only half a year.In this way, it is natural that a minute and a second should not be wasted.
Wei Dianzhou smiled and said: "Get in the car."
Xie Yu stepped into Wei Dianzhou's car.
When Liu Xu, Wang Yidun, and Fan Sikui were eating at Wuweizhai, they heard that Wei Dianzhou was there.While talking with Manager Zhu, the three of them waited in the parking lot. When Wei Dianzhou came to drive away, Wang Yidun immediately said to Liu Xu: "Ah, follow up."
The three of them followed Wei Dianzhou in the car, and happened to see the scene where Wei Dianzhou was talking to Xie Yun and Xie Yun boarded the car.
