The tinkling piano sound sounded in the Alex Library auditorium.
There was the sound of rain outside the window.
"Four-quarter beat, A-flat major rhythm, and the treble part played by the right hand... Wow, although these melodies sound very simple, probably about the level of sixth-level piano music, but it is possible to create such a tune on the spot
A piano piece full of artistic conception, which is already great in itself! I really don’t know what a beautiful name this piece of music will have. God, I’m so looking forward to it..."
In the audience, Taylor, the intern editor of National Geographic magazine, listened to the piano music in his ears and said with longing: "Perhaps, only Easterners can play such a delicate piece of music. In this piece of music,
Here, I can almost hear the sound of raindrops falling under the eaves, it is fresh and brilliant..."
Taylor's full name is Taylor Masefield, which is a very unisex name, but Taylor himself is very beautiful and innocent.
Although he is an American, he has a pair of crystal light blue eyes.
But her face shape has a small and delicate beauty that is unique to Orientals.
Taylor is twenty years old this year and is about to graduate from college.
By submitting her resume, she successfully applied for a job as an intern editor at National Geographic magazine. The internship lasted for three months. After three months, she was either unemployed or became a responsible editor or photo retoucher.
But judging from the current internship status of the past two months, Taylor’s chances of being persuaded to quit are too high!
Even if it weren't for her beauty, she would probably have been persuaded to quit by now.
Almost all bad habits in the workplace, such as sloppy work, sleepiness at work, arriving late and leaving early, were all encountered by this beautiful blonde girl.
As a photographer, to this day, she does not have a single photo that she can produce, nor has she interviewed popular social news, current affairs topics, etc.
In the words of editor-in-chief Henry, Taylor is like Snow White who comes to mess around. Every day, she fantasizes about some nutritious soap operas. Whenever she is free, she lies in front of her desk and cannot sleep, waiting for the white horse in her dream.
The prince appears and kisses her awake...
God...
Henry once told Taylor earnestly and sincerely that it would not be too late to start over again while you are still young and graduate in two years.
Or, you can change your hobby. Photography is too boring and tiring, and it is not suitable for you. You should apply for Berkeley Conservatory of Music and give full play to your unique voice...
Of course, in the face of this nagging, Taylor behaved indifferently every time.
This time, if Henry hadn't assigned the task by name, Taylor would probably have secretly slept in the company. She didn't even think that the editor-in-chief would send her such a task, because she couldn't even find the United Nations headquarters.

Who made New York too big?
Logically speaking, National Geographic magazine does not need to come here to interview and record the investiture ceremony of the Peace Ambassador.
But because of Li Qing, National Geographic still sent someone, although only a young general was sent.
The sales of the last issue of "National Geographic" surged, sparking heated discussions around the world. The "Ocean of Music" on the title page was a major contributor, and the song "Ocean of Music" played by the chief pianist Hoyle in the Golden Hall
"World War II Rhapsody" has aroused heated discussions among musicians around the world.
Therefore, as the original author of "World War II Rhapsody", Li Qing has gradually become famous in the North American music scene. He is even more popular in the piano world and is known as the soul pianist from the East.
Of course, Li Qing's fame lies in his creations.
Any performer who has watched the live performance video will not deny this point of view after seeing Li Qing's performance.
Perhaps Li Qing can play the piano, but compared to playing the piano, the "World War II Rhapsody" he created is not known to be many times higher than his own playing level.
This phenomenon is not uncommon.
There are such people in many places in Europe and the United States.
Although they are proficient in composing music, they may not be able to play the music themselves because their hand speed is not up to standard, so they have to ask others to play it.
Or, although a famous Hollywood actor is proficient in acting and even won an Oscar for acting, the script he wrote can only be described as terrible and terrible.
There are also people who are amazing at copying paintings.
But when it was my turn to draw, I couldn't draw a good picture.
In the eyes of many people, Li Qing probably belongs to the kind of pianist who is proficient in composing but whose hand speed is not up to standard.
Because his playing level is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of real pianists.
But this does not deny his creative talent.
After all, he not only performed "World War II Rhapsody" completely, but also performed it perfectly.
Even in the eyes of professionals, there is only a slight flaw in hand speed.
If the hand speed is faster, the artistic conception of the fierce confrontation may be expressed better.
This shortcoming was later made up for by the great pianist Hoyle.
So, when "World War II Rhapsody" appeared on the banks of the Danube River in Vienna, when countless musicians gathered around like crazy to listen obsessively, when the "Ocean of Music" became popular all over the world through "National Geographic" magazine, there was no trace of it.
There is no doubt that the original author Li Qing officially stepped onto the international music scene and became famous for a while.
Now, what kind of shock will this live composition "The Mark of Rain" that was recorded in real time cause?
When the song ended, amid thunderous applause, Li Qing and Secretary-General Renn shook hands again and were baptized by the flashlights of the scene.
Immediately afterwards, after briefly thanking the media friends present, Li Qing left the auditorium under the protection of Pei Sitao and others.
However, reporters would never let such an international celebrity off easily, so as Li Qing left, hundreds of reporters and photographers on the scene stood up and chased in the direction Li Qing left.
For a time, the scene was extremely crowded.
"Hello Li Qing, is it convenient for us to interview you now?"
Ma Linlin gritted her teeth, squeezed through the surrounding reporters, rushed to Li Qing, and almost put the microphone in her hand into Li Qing's mouth: "I am Ma Linlin, a reporter from CCTV, we have met before, you
Do you remember?"
Among the many English questions, this well-spoken Mandarin sentence suddenly appeared, and Li Qing immediately noticed Ma Linlin.
"Didn't you say before that you would hold a press conference after the investiture ceremony?" Ma Linlin said with tears in her eyes.
Li Qing was surprised: "Did I say that?"
Xue Yan coughed next to her and said awkwardly: "I said..."
Li Qing said oh, and then said with a smile: "This Miss Ma is also Chinese, and she is in a foreign land. Why should her own family embarrass her own people? We still have a lot of things to do next..."
Ma Linlin said quickly: "Then you only give us thirty minutes of interview time, okay? Are you preparing to return to China now? Even if it is an interview in the airport lobby! You have received such a great honor, and there are more than one billion people in the country.
Our compatriots are waiting for you to deliver this good news!"
One billion compatriots?
Li Qing was shocked by this number. It took him a while to realize it, and he looked dumbfounded.
Your rhetorical technique is too exaggerated!
I can’t believe it if there are 100 million people following it, but it’s still more than a billion... 8)
