All-rounder Artist-Chapter 874 - 824 Wonder Lu Admits Defeat

In the clubhouse.

Inside the room.

The music carried a faint melancholy.

Within the melancholy, a hint of heaviness was mixed.

The maestros in the room were savoring the prelude of "Blue and White Porcelain".

The main verse, for the first time, resounded:

"The plain white porcelain is sketched with cobalt blue, the dense ink fades to light

The peony depicted on the body is like your initial makeup

The gradual scent of sandalwood through the window, my thoughts of you are clear

The brush travels on the rice paper and stops halfway..."

As the first part of the main verse began, Lu Sheng, who had been full of confidence, suddenly lifted his head, as a ripple passed through his heart.

Pure.

Elegant.

The gentle and delicate lyrics, accompanied by the melody, still had the flavor of new classical style, but these lyrics instantly dazzled him!

And it wasn't just Lu Sheng.

Everyone else in the room also showed a hint of astonishment, clearly impressed by the lyrics!

"The glaze renders a painting of elegant ladies, its charm privately hidden

And your smile, blooming like a flower yet to unfold

Your beauty drifts away

To a place I cannot reach..."

Still as mesmerizingly beautiful lyrics, and as the song continued, Lu Sheng's heart finally began to undulate!

Plop!

Like a pebble falling into the heart of a lake, ripples spread out in all directions!

He subconsciously adjusted his seated posture, causing the chair to grate against the floor with a somewhat grating noise.

The friction was fleeting.

No one spoke aloud at the scene, but the maestros seated around began lifting their heads one after another, with a clear change in their eyes!

Among the crowd.

Yin Dong and Ye Zhi Qiu exchanged glances, both seeing the amazement in each other's eyes!

Just then.

The singing abruptly climbed in pitch!

Sorrow and desolation, like the drizzle of an autumn rain, quietly cascading, as if the song was the only thing left between heaven and earth!

"The azure sky awaits the misty rain, and I await you

The smoke from cooking fires spirals up, across a thousand miles of river

At the base of a vessel, Han clerical script is written, emulating the elegance of bygone days

Consider it a foreshadowing of my encounter with you

The azure sky awaits the misty rain, and I await you

The moonlight salvaged spreads out and blurs the conclusion

Like heirloom Blue and White Porcelain, being beautiful unto itself

Your eyes carrying a hint of mirth..."

Pitter-patter, like pearls and jades falling onto a jade plate!

The sublime melody, still tinged with a trace of hesitance and coldness, like a cool breeze blowing through the persistent drizzle, penetrating the hearts of all present!

Chilling!

Yet scalding hot!

Everyone's expression changed, a look of astonishment creeping onto the faces of all maestros simultaneously, forming a standardized and unified look of utter astonishment in the melody-imbued room!

Stunned!

Completely stunned!

Lu Sheng's face lost its prior confidence!

His body tensed instinctively, while his mouth was slightly agape!

The musical instruments were being played with fervor.

Traditional playing techniques composed a slow, leisurely tune, the deep and shallow currents of love and separation flowed within the room, the song bearing an indescribable sense of antiquity and depth, as if both history and time were mottled.

Gong, shang, jiao, zhi, yu!

The ultimate simplicity!

The ultimate shock!

When the entire song ended, the whole room was silent as a tomb!

The next moment.

The silence shattered.

Loud voices melded together, making the entire room boil!

"This is a masterpiece of the new classical genre!"

"I thought no song could surpass 'The East Wind Breaks,' even Lu Sheng's work could only try a different approach, but this song did it!"

"The five notes have been used to their utmost!"

"How is this possible!"

"The beauty of scenery, the beauty of metaphor, the beauty of emotion, so many elements combined yet so harmoniously blended, this song is simply more flawless than 'The East Wind Breaks'!"

"..."

Amidst the tumultuous voices, gazes converged on Lin Yuan's expressionless face, though everyone's mindset was now utterly different!

Nobody expected it!

Xian Yu had actually written a song that surpassed 'The East Wind Breaks'!

In a daze.

Some looked towards Lu Sheng.

A wry smile flickered across Lu Sheng's lips and he couldn't help but ask Lin Yuan, "Can I take a look at the lyrics?"

"Sure."

Lin Yuan took out the score and handed it to him.

Instantly.

All the maestros crowded around Lu Sheng, peering at the score of "Blue and White Porcelain," their appraisal still accompanied by intense whispering.

"Indeed."

Looking at the lyrics, Lu Sheng glanced at Lin Yuan with a bittersweet expression: "Your talent for writing lyrics is truly astounding."

The azure sky awaits the misty rain, and I await you.

What kind of genius creativity does it take to write such lyrics?

If the classical-style 'May We All' is undoubtedly the pinnacle, then Xian Yu's song is the peak of vernacular-style lyrics, and it's beyond dispute!

Next to them.

Ye Zhi Qiu mused, "Whether it's composing the music or the arrangement, the two songs are neck and neck, but the lyrics put a gap between them."

"Yes."

Zheng Jing sighed from the side: "But overall, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is a little more impressive."

"Taken individually, every standard of the song is nearly on par."

Yang Zhongming spoke up, and even his voice couldn't help but carry a hint of emotion: "We can only say that Xian Yu's song named 'Blue and White Porcelain' has reached the pinnacle of the new classical genre in terms of overall score."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In composing, writing, arranging, and so on, "Blue and White Porcelain" scored extremely high in every category, not much better than Lu Sheng's song, and it wouldn't be an overstatement to say they're equally matched.

This is true even when compared with 'The East Wind Breaks'.

However, when considered as a whole, "Blue and White Porcelain" clearly has the upper hand, especially the lyrics of this song seem tailor-made for the new classical genre!
