Chapter 449 The Flying Bumblebee
"What on earth is this Chinese guy up to?"

"How disrespectful! Smoking in a public place?"

"I heard that Chinese people are like this, smoking in public places and littering cigarette butts!"

"But this is in our Japan, how dare he ..."

……

Shenmu Gangci looked at Shen Lang and said incoherently: "What do you want to do? No, what do you want cigarettes for?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director. I don't smoke, but I'll lend you a cigarette from your pocket!"

The live camera was facing himself and Shen Lang. Although Shenmu Gangci didn't know what Shen Lang was going to do, the other party had already said that he didn't smoke, so for the sake of the show's effect, he had to borrow the cigarette anyway.

He reluctantly took out a box of Seven Stars, took out a cigarette and handed it to Shen Lang.

When Shen Lang took the cigarette, he still said worriedly: "The equipment here is very expensive. I hope Mr. Shen doesn't smoke here!"

Shen Lang glanced at him and did not answer him. Instead, he walked straight to the stage and sat on the piano stool.

After he sat down, Shen Lang placed the cigarette on the piano lid.

Everyone was confused by him and had no idea what he was trying to do.

Aoi Yu looked puzzled and asked, "Shen-san, what are you doing?"

Shen Lang smiled at her but did not answer her question. Instead, he turned around, crossed his fingers, stretched them out, and moved his fingers.

At this point, everyone guessed it.

This guy should be playing a piano piece.

But with his two-finger playing skills, what else can he play?

"A Christmas Song" - one of the simplest piano pieces, was played so badly, and he still wanted to embarrass himself by performing it?
"This guy is still not convinced. Does he want to play some other music with two fingers?"

"It's so shameful. I feel embarrassed for this Chinese guy even when I'm sitting in front of the TV!"

"It's so funny. He wants to [show off] his piano skills?"

……

I originally wanted to invite Shen Lang to be a guest and take the opportunity to build relationships with the two alternative female lead actors.

But no matter how Takafumi Sasano looked at it, he felt that Shen Lang was gradually deviating from the track. He was trying to save face in a field he was not good at, which would only make Hirosue Ryoko and Aoi Yu disappointed in him.

Hirosue Ryoko looked at Shen Lang in front of the piano with a cold expression.

Her private life issues were just exposed on the Internet today, putting her at the center of public opinion.

If it weren't for the contract, she really didn't want to participate in this show today.

Sure enough, since she entered the studio, many people have been very cold towards her, which made her very distressed.

After Shen Lang adjusted himself, he took the opportunity to find a song to show off in his mind... "Flight of the Bumblebee".

This piece of music is a famous piece by the great goose composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Nikolai was adapted into the opera "The Tale of Tsar Sadan" based on Pushkin's poem.

The first scene of Act III describes the prince transforming into a bumblebee and attacking two villains.

The soundtrack at this time is this song.

Because the melody of this song is extremely fast, later generations often choose it to demonstrate the playing skills of instruments such as piano and violin.

To put it bluntly, I, Shen Lang, am here to show off today.

In order to take the show-off to the next level.

Shen Lang chose the Arcadi Volodos version of Flight of the Bumblebee.

"Flight of the Bumblebee" was adapted and performed by the famous Russian pianist Arcadi Volodos, and became the world-recognized fastest piano piece.

The difficulty of playing it and the deep skills required are simply hellish. On a planet in another time and space, only a few top pianists can master it.

When Shen Lang pressed the first key, everyone noticed that the Shen Lang who was almost confused and at a loss in front of the piano was gone.

In his place was the confident, elegant and calm Shen Lang.

Beautiful and fast-paced music flowed from the piano, and everyone was stunned.

Two-finger maniac?

It doesn't exist. Shen Lang's ten fingers are dancing across the piano range at an extremely fast speed.

The speed at which his fingertips moved and the passion that burst out from his body and mind made everyone present feel that their pulses seemed to be accelerating along with the melody played by Shen Lang.

But just when everyone thought that this was Shen Lang's limit, the melody sped up again, as if the scene in the opera where wild bees attack the bad guys had begun.

It was only at this moment that professionals recognized that this was "Flight of the Bumblebee".

“Oh my god, he’s playing Flight of the Bumblebee! And it’s an arrangement!”

"I have never heard of this version. Could it be that... it was created and adapted by him... Shen Sang?"

"Oh my God, it was so fast, I could hardly see his fingers."

Hirosue Ryoko's originally indifferent expression had already been attracted by Shen Lang on the stage. She saw Shen Lang's flying fingers overlapping with the rhythm. When he encountered the accent, he calmly nodded his head along with the melody.

At this moment, Hirosue Ryoko seemed to have forgotten her troubles, and all she could think of was Shen Lang's elf-like dancing fingers and the pleasant, exciting and vital music.

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

They looked at Shen Lang in disbelief. He...he really knew how to play the piano...

No, this cannot be said to mean understanding the piano. Although most of the people on the scene have average piano skills, people in the entertainment industry do have a certain level of appreciation.

Shen Lang’s level... they... have no way of evaluating it.

Because it is beyond their understanding.

Awesome, simply amazing.

At this time, in another NHK studio, the production crew was taking a break, and suddenly someone holding a tablet excitedly said: "Oh my God, this Chinese guy is so crazy!"

After saying that, he handed the tablet in his hand to a balding, long-faced old man.

The old man stood up in surprise not long after listening to it: "It's Flight of the Bumblebee. How could he change it so quickly?"

"No, not only is it fast, but the adaptation is also very reasonable and the emotions are even more intense!"

"Who is he?"

The staff member said: "He is Shen Lang, a Chinese movie star who was invited to participate in our show!"

The old man nodded: "What an amazing young man!"

At this moment, the song "Flight of the Bumblebee" on the tablet had ended.

Just as the old man was about to hand the tablet back to the staff, he suddenly discovered that the young man named Shen Lang stood up and picked up a cigarette!

"What is he going to do?" the old man couldn't help but wonder.

In the picture, Shen Lang opened the piano lid and put the seven-star pendant inside.

A close-up was given, and a scene appeared that made everyone exclaim.

Shen Lang placed the cigarette in his hand on the strings.

The strings were heated up by the playing, and when they came into contact with the cigarette, white smoke suddenly came out of the cigarette, and the next second a red light came out from the tip of the cigarette.

"Hiss, because I played too fast, the strings got too hot and I actually lit the cigarette."

Shen Lang came to the stunned Shen Mu with a lit cigarette, put the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and smiled faintly: "Director, I don't smoke!"
