The sound of the Zither is quiet and distant as if it is quietly telling an old story. Sometimes it is as high as the midnight tide waves and high wind, and sometimes it is bleak, such as slowly falling leaves in the autumn wind. The tune has firmly grasped everyone’s mind.
This is the famous “The Ephemeral Beauty” of “In Search Of Supernatural” Universe. This song reflects Shennong’s own thoughts and love for Fairy Kongsang. He is the number one person in the world but the woman he loves most was exiled to a deserted island because of him and he couldn’t do anything about it which was a big irony.
So on the night she was far away, he drank the bitter wine in front of clear wind and moon, and also shed all the tears of this life. He was sorry for letting her spend her most beautiful years alone on a desert island ……
The ups and downs of Li Tianhe’s love were similar to Shennong and Fairy Kongsang, they have deeply experienced the pain of being in love but not being able to be together, so to this song, it is as if the tune is telling their story, exposing their deepest feelings and they couldn’t help but shed tears as they heard this tune.
Others, whether they have listened to Su Jing’s previous performances or not were all shocked by this piece and were completely mesmerized by it. They felt the same way and it was as if they were experiencing a heartfelt love.
The most musically savvy person in the room, of course, was Liu Jie, who had heard of Su Jing’s name by chance, so he was very curious when he heard Su Jing was going to play.
However, at this moment, he completely forgot to pay any attention to Su Jing and this piece of music completely enthralled him. Wang Siya, Wang Zhuo, and others, who had heard Su Jing play many times, also had no resistance at all and were completely enthralled.
There are some music that you can barely listen to and then you would forget about them. There are some music that you can’t help but sing along with.
There are some music that is so intoxicating that you even forget to pay attention to your surrounding and become completely immersed in it, making even the most professional connoisseurs become the purest listeners.
You would follow the music to be happy. You would follow the music to be sad. You would follow the music to go on a moving journey. The Ephemeral Beauty song played by Su Jing belongs to the third kind, in addition to the sound of the Zither, everything was silent and calm.
The waiters who served the dishes and wine were stunned and they motionlessly stood at the door with a stupid expression on their faces.
After a long time, the sound of the Zither fell.
After several seconds, there was a round of applause, followed by other applause, and finally, it exploded like a thunderstorm. Li Tianhe and his wife, with two lines of tears on their faces, also applauded warmly. This song did not have such a happy ending.
Although it was played by Su Jing and he left a glimmer of hope at the end, the overall style and sound were sad… However, it is filled with the yearning for love, so that people regret in a deep appreciation of the preciousness of love.
In contrast, Liu Jie’s accompaniment can only be considered as quite satisfactory. This song “The Ephemeral Beauty” really touches the soul of the listeners.
“Oh my God, it sounds so good!”
“I used to not understand why people would cry when they listen to songs, but now I finally understand them.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard Su Jing play live, it’s so shocking.”
Most of the people present here were celebrities, some of whom had attended high-class music parties and heard various music masters perform live, yet they had never been so moved as they were today. Many women looked at Su Jing with a bit of affection in their eyes.
“If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, I wouldn’t have believed that this piece was played by a young man.” Li Tianhe exclaimed and marveled as this piece of music was filled with desolate artistic conception.
It was like the perception of an old man who has gone through the vicissitudes of life. It is hard to imagine that a young man could have such a deep conception of life.
“The young man is wonderful.” Li Tianhe’s wife also looked at Su Jing with admiration on her face, and her eyes were as kind as if she was looking at her own son.
There was no one present here who was not convinced, even professional Liu Jie, even Zhao Qirong, and Zhao Yuan, who were somewhat hostile to Su Jing, did not dare to say a word against him, because they were convinced at heart and knew that singing against this piece would only be considered ignorant.
“It’s not bad considering that I did play it for the first time.” Su Jing was satisfied and sent the recording to Weibo with his mobile phone. The number of clicks increased rapidly, showing explosive growth, and the audience who clicked in became intoxicated.
“Oh my God, it sounds so good!”
“It sounds so good that I cried!”
“I have listened to it five times. I guess I won’t be stopping any time today.”
“The “Sword Immortal” played by Brother Jing before was also very nice. Some people said that Brother Jing was asked to spend some time and play all the existing songs with the Ancient Zither. But I think it was a waste of time. Compare Brother Jing’s own songs, those already on the internet are too far apart, they are not even on the same level.”
“That’s for sure, songs like ‘Sword Immortal’ can only be described as good, Brother Jing’s self-penned tunes truly rock from the depths of his soul.”
“Compared to “Going Back”, “The Ephemeral Beauty” has the same tune and the same effect, but it is different. It is not so sad, but it is more desolate and more moving. It was as Brother Jing has gone through the vicissitudes of life through the centuries, but can not be together …… Brother Jing must have suffered some emotional trauma, otherwise, how can play such a touching rhythm.”
“I really love Brother Jing, but Brother Jing now has Shi Qing, he is happy and I pray to God to bless them.”
