Professor Liu naturally took his grandson's computer without any hesitation.
The livestream showed a look of panic on Professor Liu's grandson's face.
“Grandpa, I'm in college now, it's normal for me to play games during summer break, right?”
“You're going to confiscate it?”
The viewers in the livestream saw this scene and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Professor Liu's grandson.
“Haha, Professor Liu's grandson is so scared that he's acting like a grandson.”
“The little guy probably never expected his grandpa to fight him for the computer.”
“Little guy: Oops, I wish I hadn't bought the deluxe edition.”
“Life is unpredictable, grandpa steals the computer.”
…
Professor Liu put on a stern face.
“Who said I was going to confiscate your game? I just wanted to play it for a bit.”
“Forget it, I won't play the game. I don't want to interrupt your progress.”
“I'll just listen to the original soundtrack of *Black Myth: Wukong*.”
Professor Liu's grandson let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
He felt like he had escaped from death.
Then he quickly found the *Black Myth: Wukong* soundtrack on the computer.
Professor Liu's home audio system was top-notch, of course.
He immediately adjusted the equipment.
Then he clicked on the one that looked most familiar.
A steady and powerful orchestral piece played.
“It's actually orchestral music.”
“This melody…”
“It's *Yun Gong Xun Yin*!”
Even though the music had just begun, the melody had already brought a smile to Professor Liu's lips.
“Haha, this is simply cheating.”
“This piece of music is so classic.”
“Using it in a game with a *Journey to the West* background is perfect.”
“It sounds like it's been rearranged. Let's enjoy it.”
“The trombone, the violin…”
“Crescendo.”
“The rhythm accelerates.”
As the music played, the viewers in the livestream were also excited.
“Oh no, my DNA is activating.”
“I recognized *Yun Gong Xun Yin* from the very beginning. Even though the rhythm is slower and there are more instruments, this melody is etched in my bones.”
“The pipa, the pipa has entered the mix.”
“My scalp is tingling already.”
“I can see goosebumps on my arms.”
“It's so good. It's like I'm back in my childhood summer vacation, watermelon, fans, mosquito coils, popsicles. As soon as this music plays, you know the TV station is about to start airing *Journey to the West*.”
“It's too classic. It's hard to imagine this is from forty years ago.”
“The atmosphere is getting more intense.”
“*Diu diu diu* appears! Explosion.”
“Give me a stick, I'm going to beat up a hundred thousand of them.”
“The female voice chanting is so ethereal, like seeing Chang'e and fairies dancing.”
“This version is so powerful.”
“Just listening to *Yun Gong Xun Yin* once feels like I've gone through the *Journey to the West* epic again in my mind.”
“Indeed, the epic feel is very strong, the adaptation is successful.”
“Orchestral music and traditional instruments are perfectly combined.”
“There's also electronic music and vocals.”
“I can't take it anymore, I'm going to do a couple of cartwheels.”
“The war song rises! No boss can stop me.”
“My ears itch, I want to pick them!”
…
The viewers in the livestream were now completely immersed in the music.
Professor Liu's expression was even more focused.
*Yun Gong Xun Yin* is a classic, of course.
But the more classic the music, the harder it is to adapt.
After all, everyone is familiar with the melody.
If the adaptation is too exaggerated, it won't match the original mood and people will be disappointed.
But if it's changed too little, it's just copying the classic, there's no innovation.
The piece of music that Professor Liu was hearing now had been adapted quite successfully!
The overall structure and melody naturally inherited the original *Yun Gong Xun Yin*.
At the same time, the use of orchestral music further enhanced the overall power and epic feel.
From any perspective, it was a top-notch adaptation.
It perfectly inherited the charm of the original *Yun Gong Xun Yin*, while also having something new.
Professor Liu became more and more excited as he listened.
He couldn't help but sway his hands to the rhythm of *Yun Gong Xun Yin*, tapping his feet to the beat.
“Even though it's an adaptation, a classic is a classic.”
“And I need to mention again, the music in *Black Myth: Wukong* is very well integrated with the game itself.”
“This piece of music, when Chinese players hear it, there's a special collective memory, a sentimentality bonus.”
“But the charm of this music is definitely not just from sentimentality.”
“I believe that even if they haven't watched the old *Journey to the West* TV series or listened to this piece of music, anyone hearing it in the game for the first time will still be able to understand the emotions expressed in it.”
“They will also feel the charm of the music.”
After *Yun Gong Xun Yin* finished playing, Professor Liu couldn't help but nod his head and comment.
“Let's listen to some other music.”
“Hmm… this chapter's ending theme is called… *Fart*?”
Professor Liu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
“This song's name is really unique.”
“It seems to have some depth.”
“Let's listen to it anyway.”
Professor Liu immediately clicked play.
“Three Realms, Four Continents,”
“No Desire,”
“Incurable!”
“Long Night,”
“Today,”
“Right and Wrong,”
“Upside Down!”
“With Love,”
“Living Beings,”
“Love, Hate, Greed, Anger,”
“Life and Death Intertwined…”
As the female voice chanting began.
A barrage of comments immediately floated across the livestream.
“Wow, awesome!”
“This jump god vibe really goes well with the theme.”
“It feels like a sense of divine beings overlooking all living beings.”
“I heard Wukong's disdain and contempt for the Heavenly Court deities.”
“I feel like it's more about human greed, empty and floating, stinking.”
“I didn't expect the soundtrack of a game to be so amazing, it's so 震撼 [Zhen Han].”
“Did you see? The lyricist of this song is Xu Chen, isn't that Xu Tian Tian's brother?”
“The game developer personally wrote the lyrics? The lyrics are really high quality.”
…
The viewers in the livestream were all entranced by the music.
Professor Liu was becoming more and more shocked.
His mouth barely closed.
“Has the music level of Chinese games reached this level?”
“Could it be that the way forward for Chinese music lies in games?”
“Who on earth is the developer of this *Black Myth: Wukong*?”
