Chapter 285: Then why don’t you try the beauty trap?
Hang Si knew the entire score of Soul Song by heart, and he remembered it very well, so when Hang Si performed it, he didn't have to look at the score the whole time.

But her full attention was on controlling the rhythm, so she made mistakes one after another. After several mistakes in a row, Lu Nanshen called a halt.

"Hanghang, my suggestion is to do everything according to your feeling first. Or for the song "Soul Song", if it was composed by you, how would you play it?"

Lu Nanshen's words surprised Hang Si, "Play according to my feelings? How... can this be possible?"

Now that she has joined the band group, she also knows a lot about Lu Nanshen's habits and rules in the band. In the words of the old members, Mr. D is very strict and does not allow any flaws or mistakes in the performance. After all, he has a very sharp ear and can immediately find out if anyone makes the slightest mistake.

The orchestra has always been about teamwork and community, so how can they be influenced by just one person?

Lu Nanshen saw through her thoughts and said with a smile, "Do you feel embarrassed to have everyone accommodate you?"

"Of course." Hang Si said, "If I change the famous Soul Song, what will the other people in the band think?"

"Then you have to convince them." Lu Nanshen said lightly.

Hang Si was startled, "What?"

"If you are doing something and the environment or the rhythm makes you uncomfortable, then you should change the environment or the rhythm and let these external factors follow you. But the premise is that you have the ability to change these factors and the ability to convince people." Lu Nanshen said, "I founded the band myself. I will not bury any member's creative ability and different ideas about music. The premise is that you have to convince me first."

"It's the same with you. I asked you to play according to your feelings because I found that this rhythm may not be suitable for you. Then you have to prove to me that the version you played is better, so that I can be convinced and the other members of the orchestra can accept it."

Hang Si thought for a long time and said, "This is a difficult task. I don't know about the other people in the orchestra, but you are a musical genius, so it's difficult to get you to nod."

"You can think about it from another perspective. If you can even convince me, then won't the others be convinced? This is definitely easier than asking you to convince them one by one." Lu Nanshen said with a smile.

Hang Si then realized that this was a very difficult task. The other people in the orchestra were all easy to talk to, but Lu Nanshen was notoriously stubborn in his profession.

"You underestimate yourself so much. You're hard to deal with."

Lu Nanshen joked, "Then why don't you try the honey trap?"

Hang Si was impressed that he could still joke at this time. She wanted him to be serious, but she saw a mischievous smile between his eyebrows and wanted to tease him for a moment. "Does the beauty trap work for you?" She leaned close to him and smiled, "Then tell me what to do?"

Lu Nanshen was not easily amused, and his ears turned red when Hang Si took over the host position. Hang Si couldn't help but smile, and his depressed mood was relieved a lot.

Seeing her smile, Lu Nanshen was naturally happy. He smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "If it were you, there would be no need for any methods."

Pisces people, as long as they let go of their thick skin, they will start talking like a cheat.

Hang Si got back to the point, "Then I'll play it first according to my feeling, would you like to listen first?"

She actually had some ideas about the song "Soul Hymn", but she had never thought about adjusting it before. After all, Soul Hymn was already very mature and accepted by the audience.

Lu Nan nodded deeply.

He didn't urge Hang Si when he was thinking about the violin, but waited quietly until Hang Si slowly played a beautiful melody. The beginning part didn't change much, and the rhythm of the details was adjusted, which sounded just right.

There were obvious changes in the variation part, both in rhythm and in individual notes, and she even changed a position that he once thought was very good.

As the violin strings swayed, that part slowly unfolded, which made Lu Nanshen's eyes light up. The door of the piano room was gently pushed open, and Jiang Yu's face appeared in the crack of the door. Then he tiptoed in, trying not to disturb Hang Si who was playing the violin.

He had just come back from outside, still carrying his cello. After finding a random seat and sitting down, he put the cello aside, with a look of curiosity in his eyes. It is a common problem among musicians that when they encounter extremely comfortable music, they will always come uninvited.

Hang Si was completely immersed in the music, not looking sideways, or to be more precise, she kept her eyes closed the whole time, so she didn't even lift her eyelids when Jiang Yu came in. Lu Nanshen knew Jiang Yu had come in, but his attention was not disturbed. He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and his big hands on his legs were vaguely tapping the rhythm to the tune she played.

Until the violin part is finished.

Lu Nanshen didn't say anything, but Jiang Yu was surprised, "Hang Si, are you... creating something again?"

Isn't it obvious from what he heard? So Jiang Yu was more shocked that she actually created Soul Ode a second time.

Hang Si felt unsure when she saw Lu Nanshen didn't say anything. In music, she relied more on her feeling, while Lu Nanshen relied on his strong professional ability.

Lu Nanshen thought for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Yu, "You've listened to most of the show, how do you feel about it?"

Jiang Yu was a very straightforward person, and he rarely tried to figure out other people's thoughts, so he answered whatever Lu Nanshen asked him. "How should I put it? The version played by Hang Si has a different feeling than the original." "What feeling?" Hang Si asked.

Jiang Yu raised his hand to signal her to calm down, "Let me think about how to describe it."

He was really thinking seriously, with a frown that could kill a fly. After a long while, he said, "The original Soul Song is desolate and lonely, with the wildness of the world and compassion for all living things. The violin part played by Hang Si did not change the tone and temperament of the original version, but added a hint of demonic spirit, giving people the feeling of the dark power in the chaos of the world, and then it gradually became clear."

At this point, Jiang Yu added, "This way, it seems that the temperament of the tune of Soul Song has a more layered feel."

Lu Nanshen nodded when he heard this, turned to look at Hang Si, and asked her with a smile, "What do you think?"

Hang Si said truthfully, "I can't make a summary."

"Why did you reduce the sense of power in the variation part?" Lu Nanshen asked.

The biggest change was in the variation part. When Lu Nanshen composed this part, he used the symbol of "transition to strong", so the whole sound was majestic. However, when Hang Si played this part, he did the opposite, so the feeling changed.

Hang Si was stunned by his question, and after a long while he said, "I just think that the variation part should be handled like this, but I can't explain why..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, mainly because she was too unsure.

Lu Nanshen was amused by her appearance, and he couldn't help but think of how this girl appeared in Death Valley as a cold and arrogant heroine, and was not afraid at all when dealing with tapirs, but now she has become worried and anxious.

Seeing Hang Si like this, Lu Nanshen finally believed the saying that the more difficult someone is to get along with, the softer they feel inside and the more they fear getting hurt.

Lu Nanshen asked softly, "So, you still don't have confidence in yourself? Hanghang, you are a genius, and you are born with a sense of music. It's like asking my sister-in-law why her nose is so sensitive. It's just her natural ability, and there's no specific reason."

There was a slight light in Hang Si's eyes, "So?"

"So although I disagree with your changes in some places at the beginning, your feeling on the rest of the part, especially the variation part, is quite good. Jiang Yu is right. If the variation part is lightened, it will have a more demonic feel. But doesn't this just complete the temperament of Soul Song?"

Soul is the soul of all living beings. Any form of life deserves to be respected and seen.

Hang Si seemed excited after hearing this. She asked, "So, you approve of my adjustment?"

"I think it's fine, and you've made the whole tune of Soul Hymn more soft, which is beyond my imagination. In the first part, I think you just lack some skills, which is not a problem at all." Lu Nanshen gave his evaluation.

Hang Si's heart was pounding.

You know, it’s not easy to get music recognized by the musical genius Lu Nanshen.

But she still didn't give up and asked, "Really... is it okay? You're not comforting me? Or, are you being partial?"

Lu Nanshen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hang Si." He called her by her full name. "It wasn't easy for me to found the D band. Do you think I would joke about Soul Song? If you don't have the ability, do you think I would give you my work to revise?"

Hang Si said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, please don't bear grudges."

Pulling the chair towards him again, he asked impatiently, "Do you mean to use my version? I feel a little embarrassed all of a sudden."

Jiang Yu said with envy, "If I had your ability, I wouldn't be embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed that I can walk sideways in the orchestra."

Hang Si felt even more embarrassed when he heard this.

Lu Nanshen said, "Jiang Yu is right. This is what makes you different from ordinary people. You should be proud of it. As for the revised version of Soul Song, I listened to it, and Jiang Yu also listened to it. We both think that the sense of layering is stronger and the realm of the work is more complete, so there is no problem in adjusting it. We need to record a demo and send it to the group later, so let everyone know in advance."

Hang Si expressed his concern, "But if the violin part is adjusted, the entire Soul Song will need to be adjusted, right?"

Lu Nanshen didn't hide it from her, "Yes."

Soul Hymn is a large symphony that involves many instruments. If one part is changed, the other coordinating instruments will also need to be changed.

"Then..." Hang Si became even more worried.

"It's normal to make adjustments to a piece before it's played. I'll take care of that, don't worry."
