Chapter Eighty-Three

  Thomas excitedly let go of Andres, pointing at the screen, "Look, the scene of the Paris Opera House is as magnificent as if it were real. The moment the crystal chandelier falls, the facial expressions of the audience below, terrified, frightened, screaming, shouting, dodging, how realistic! And the underground chamber is so gloomy and cold. Especially the three main characters, they are stunningly beautiful!" "Go... go... now let's go find your student's sister."

  "I saw it, no need to be so excited!" Andres was pulled by him as they walked outside, putting on their coats along the way.

  Andres drove quickly to the hospital where Fang Mornan was, Thomas was puzzled, "Why are you coming to the hospital! Didn't we come to find her!"

  "Ah! Nan is in this hospital." Andres added: "She's doing her internship at this very hospital."

  "Wait a minute, did I hear that right? You said work experience." Thomas hastened his pace to catch up with the person in front of him, looking shocked.

  "You didn't hear wrong, let's go! You'll know when you find it," Andres said.

  Andres and the two of them went to Jerry's office first, and Jerry was there. When they said they were looking for Fang Mo Nan, especially after seeing Thomas behind him, Jerry's expression was extremely dissatisfied. "I'm very sorry, Mo Nan is busy right now and can't leave with you."

  "Jerry, help, it's very urgent, just for a moment." Thomas also knew Jerry but their relationship was not as close as Andre's with him.

  Andres lifted his wrist and looked at the watch, "Jerry is about to have lunch soon, just during lunchtime, after eating, I guarantee that Nan will be sent back to you immediately."

  "Alright!" Jerry said: "Andres remember what you said. Nan is in CT room."

  "Thanks." Andres dragged Thomas quickly to find Fang Mornan in the CT room, who was taking a patient's pulse at this time.

  He soon finished taking his pulse. He walked into the inner room, looked at the film on the computer and said to Ralph: "The patient's condition is the same as in the film."

  "You must be tired! Take a rest." Ralph said enthusiastically, he had truly witnessed her magical pulse charm.

  Fang Mo Nan had just sat down when Andres brought Thomas in. Thomas said urgently, "I've finally found you, I have many questions that need your answers. The...has already asked for leave from Jerry."

  Fang Mo Nan and Ralph exchanged greetings before following them out.

  "Let's go to your place and I think you should specifically draw for Thomas, answer his questions, then he will let you off." Andres said while driving.

  The three of them soon arrived home and before they could even greet Jenny, they were urged on by Thomas from behind.

  Fang Mo Nan sat beside the computer in his study, starting to practice animation software. First, he used 3D scanning technology to scan an 80-year-old white-haired old lady, forming a digital character model, and then captured Jordan's movements. Using these to drive the old man model's movement, the audience will see the scene of an 80-year-old granny dunking in mid-air.

  "Wow... south, right! This is too cool." Thomas exclaimed. "Can I play with it?"

  Fang Mo explained in detail to him how to use the software, Andres went out and told Jenny to hurry up and make lunch, it seems that Thomas won't let her off if she doesn't understand.

  Thomas's acceptance is very fast, and the software application is really convenient. He can already operate simply, and the rest is just skillful.

  Jenny knocked on the door to ask them to go out for lunch, and halfway through eating, Fang Mo Nan suddenly stood up, "Oh no, I was brought back by you guys, I forgot that Da Bao and Er Ya are still in Jerry's office! Andres, I'll leave first! I'll explain it to you later when I have time." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly rushed back to the hospital.

  When Fang Mo Nan rushed into Jerry's office, two babysitters were feeding the little babies porridge made from rice flour, and they were eating with relish!

  Andres said to Thomas after lunch at Fang Mornan's home, "There will be time to refine it later! Now isn't combining animation and music the most important thing?"

  "Oh! I see, why are you more anxious than me now!" Thomas muttered: "In the past when releasing an album, it was hard to get anyone to come even with three or four invitations, didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic this time!"

  "Jenny, let's go." After Andres got dressed, he said goodbye to Jenny and left.

  Thomas was dedicated to his work, determined to present the single perfectly to the audience. He also found the original singer of the song and persuaded him with his silver tongue. Especially after seeing the exquisite animation production, he finally moved the other's heart. After producing a complete single, through his series of operations, the effect was surprisingly good, climbing to the top of the pop music chart and not coming down.

  Especially the 7-minute MV on TV repeatedly bombing, it's strange if it doesn't come down, just the popularity has gathered a lot.

  After the demo was released, it attracted several of the most famous animation film companies. Thomas called Fang Man-nan to ask if she would sell this animation software. Fang Man-nan gave him full authority and did not allow him to disclose her information. After the deal was made, he took a 30% commission.

  No wonder he's a broker, his tongue is so nimble, he actually sold it for that much money, waiting for the right price, the highest bidder gets it, and he's quite black-hearted.

  After everything calmed down, Fang Mo Nan continued her daily routine, moving between different wards to take patients' pulses. Although she was suspected of running around randomly, the doctors here all liked this little girl. With just one touch, the patient's condition would be revealed, bringing many benefits to the doctors in various departments and turning several potentially hazardous situations into nothing.

  It's another Chinese New Year, the 1988 Chinese New Year was on February 17th. My grandparents didn't come, and Qiuxi only stayed for a few more days before flying back on New Year's Day. So this year on New Year's Eve, everyone gathered at Fang Mernan's house, after tasting her delicious Chinese dishes, the group was conquered again. Fang Mernan and Jenny prepared a big table full of delicious food.

  Thomas had a close collaboration with Fang Merng last time, and she is really impressed by this young man now.

  "After dinner, it was time for the classic program. I didn't expect Thomas's saxophone to be so good. The saxophone's main feature is its beautiful and varied tone color, deep and quiet, rich in emotion, soft and melancholic, like an echo within an echo, in a silent moment, no other instrument can produce this wonderful sound." The saxophone is also known as the "unparalleled wind instrument".

  Saxophone not only excels in playing classical music, but also is more adept at playing jazz and light music. When people mention jazz, the first instrument that comes to mind is the saxophone. The biggest feature of jazz is improvisation, which involves reversing strong and weak beats during performance, using continuous staccato notes, making rhythm changes endless, with a rich dramatic tone color, being both intense and passionate, yet calm and profound, both humorous and full of pathos.

  Sax has always been a supporting role in the pop music scene, until 1987, Kenny G's best-selling single "Songbird" finally made saxophones crazy among global music fans.

  Thomas played the famous melody "Going Home", which made Fang Mornan and others cry, thinking of going home. Andres covered his face and muttered to himself: 'Is this guy taking the wrong medicine?! Today is their country's reunion festival, but he still plays "Going Home" - isn't that adding fuel to the fire?!' Andres' Chinese has also improved rapidly!

  Thomas couldn't blow anymore because three teary-eyed people were staring at him, and no matter how thick his skin was, he just couldn't blow anymore.

  Fang Mengnan, to shift the oppressive atmosphere, picked up his erhu and began playing "This piece is called 'Dusk'." He gave Thomas a nod, who followed suit by blowing into his saxophone.

  Thomas only listened once, and the playing skills were very skilled. The melody was well controlled, very beautiful and pleasant to hear, and the melody also suited this song, allowing the listener to imagine the atmosphere expressed by this song. He also added a tremolo at the end of each section, which made it even better.

  Especially Andre, in order to make the song sound good, picked up chopsticks and accompanied with a teacup and teapot. Mo Bei also contributed his part, finding usable items, a wooden chair, to beat out the rhythm. Da Bao and Er Ya also joined in, clapping their small hands, becoming background music.

  "Heh heh..." Thomas chuckled awkwardly. "South, another tune."

  Fang Mo Nan thought for a moment, adjusted his posture and began to play. "This piece is called 'Walking Past the Coffee Shop'", he said after finishing the first round.

  Thomas blew up, the romantic saxophone blew out Qianbai Hui's classic walking through the coffee shop, as if thinking about it, on a drizzly afternoon sitting in the coffee shop, drinking cappuccino and listening to this wonderful music, hmm, must be very comfortable. Not looking at Thomas' large body, just listening to the saxophone blowing out the tune, really blew out Qianbai Hui's kind of youthful and innocent yet lively feeling, truly a godly person.

  Thomas played another tune, "Spring Breeze", and it was truly a gentle melody that soothed the soul. As I listened to this soft music, my entire being relaxed, and I became immersed in endless reverie.

  Thomas put down the saxophone, clutched his stomach and ran into the toilet. He didn't come out for a long time. Andres muttered to himself: "This guy has been in there for so long, others are waiting to use the toilet!" He stood at the door of the toilet and knocked on it.

  Thomas quickly opened the door, looking very painful and pale. Andres rushed to support him and sat him down in a nearby chair. "You just went to the bathroom, you don't look good." He turned his head and loudly called out to the living room, "Nan, come over here for a moment, Thomas needs your help."

  Fang Mo Nan heard Andre's cry and rushed forward. Andre said, "Nan, look at him, just this moment, it seems like he has changed into a different person."

  Fang Mo Nan reached out and took Thomas' pulse, but Thomas was confused. "Andres, what is she doing?"

  "Let her examine you, shh! Don't make a sound, disturbing her while she's examining will not be good." Andres whispered in his ear.

  Thomas heard his words, widened his eyes, looked at him, and then looked at Fang Mo Nan.

  A moment later, Fang Mo Nan released Thomas's wrist, his eyes wanting to say something but stopping himself, scaring Andres into thinking he had contracted some incurable disease. Thomas looked at the two of them with gloomy expressions and felt uneasy in his heart as well.

  Fang Mo Nan saw Andres' expression and knew he was thinking wrongly. This wasn't easy to say out loud. "It's not that serious, I'll write it down instead."
