Depressive Screenwriter

The following plot involves Kaori Miyazono using every means possible to help Kousei Arima overcome his psychological barriers and become her piano accompanist.

However, on the day of the second preliminary round, Kousei Arima hid on the school rooftop, refusing to go to the venue.

Because he knew he would definitely mess it up.

He absolutely couldn't go and ruin the competition.

Kaori Miyazono rode her bicycle straight back to school and found the lonely boy staring at the sky on the rooftop.

[Don't you still have me? I know you can't hear the sounds, can't play the piano, I know everything... But... I still chose you. Just like you said, maybe you can't play satisfying music right now, but there are still people willing to listen to your performance.]

[I will do my best, for those who listen to me, remember me. To stay in their hearts forever. That's why I play. So, please, accompany me.]

Kaori Miyazono lowered her head, tearfully pleading with Kousei Arima.

Xie Lu, watching it for the first time, didn't understand the true meaning of Kaori Miyazono's words just now.

Nor did she understand why she insisted on having Kousei Arima as her accompanist, even to the point of crying, just to find an accompanist.

However, in this spring scenery, the school rooftop with only the two of them, Kousei Arima with a touched expression, and the girl crying and pleading in front of him.

That sense of youthfulness coming straight at her, this scene, touched Xie Lu's heart.

The male lead, Kousei Arima, subconsciously agreed to her request at this moment.

Following her, he went to the competition venue.

He was nervously rambling in the backstage room for contestants.

The competition piece was a song he had played countless times under his mother's whip years ago, a piece he could recite with his eyes closed.

But he hadn't played the piano for several years.

But even so, he chose to follow the girl's footsteps.

[Carefree, whimsical, like a roller coaster, spinning me around and around, she herself is a journey to nowhere.]

When Kousei Arima was being led by Kaori Miyazono towards the competition stage, his inner monologue stopped, and his lips spoke what was in his heart.

[You are, freedom.]

[No, that's not it]

Kaori Miyazono grabbed Kousei Arima's hand, stopped walking forward, turned around, and her smile bloomed.

[No, music is freedom!]

In Kousei Arima's pupils, the gray world became more colorful.

The two of them stood together in the center of the music hall, watched by thousands of people.

Xie Lu's heart was pounding nervously at this moment.

Because the sense of immersion was too strong, she thought she was the one going on stage, and she already felt the pressure, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The competition judges didn't pay much attention to the protagonist, the violinist Kaori Miyazono.

But everyone recognized the accompanist Kousei Arima at a glance.

"So, he's that famous?" Xie Lu watched even more nervously.

The audience with social anxiety and strong empathy were already curling their toes in their shoes.

Just imagining themselves as the protagonist.

The genius piano boy who was famous in the music industry.

He disappeared for several years, leaving behind only a bunch of urban legends about his childhood competitions.

In reality, he hadn't practiced the piano for several years, and he had auditory and visual hallucinations as soon as he touched the piano, but he encountered a situation where all the judges recognized him.

Moreover, the judges also adjusted their mentality and prepared to listen carefully to this genius boy's comeback performance after many years.

Plus the gaze of thousands of audience members.

If the performance was messed up, it would be a complete social death.

And the plot developed in the exact direction that Xie Lu feared most.

Kaori Miyazono's violin began to play, and his piano accompaniment also began.

For the first minute, the two of them cooperated well, but then...

Kousei Arima's mental pressure came up.

The memories of his mother hitting him with a stick to practice the piano when he was a child, and the scenes before his mother's death, appeared before his eyes.

His accompaniment was completely messed up. He couldn't hear his own performance, and he couldn't hear Kaori Miyazono's violin either.

The piano keys were floating in his eyes, and the entire venue was distorted.

He could only rely on his muscle memory from years ago to mechanically play this competition piece.

But this was a duet. How could he cooperate with her if he couldn't hear Kaori Miyazono's piano?

Xie Lu didn't dare to breathe.

Because the male lead's inner monologue was too much in this drama, the audience like her had too deep of an immersion.

She was already a little nauseous at this time.

The thought of making such a fool of herself on stage made her want to die.

"No way, Teacher Su Yan, you're not going to let the male lead become a clown like this, are you?"

Genius falls?

Kaori Miyazono also messed up the rhythm because of Kousei Arima's accompaniment.

Kousei Arima even stopped his movements halfway through the performance because of too much mental pressure.

Leaving only Kaori Miyazono alone, playing the violin.

But Kaori Miyazono also stopped.

She couldn't play anymore!

Xie Lu was extremely nervous at this moment.

She couldn't guess the next plot.

She was a little afraid that Kaori Miyazono would get angry and smash the violin directly on Kousei Arima's head.

The live audience and judges in the TV series were all criticizing Kousei Arima's bad accompaniment, and regretting it for Kaori Miyazono's violin.

[Let's do it again.]

Kaori Miyazono turned her face sideways and said to Kousei Arima with a smile.

The words Kaori Miyazono said were beyond Xie Lu's imagination.

Start over?

Can the competition be restarted?

Both of them stopped during the performance, and even chose to start from the beginning. No matter what the subsequent performance effect was, it was definitely a zero score in the competition.

But the memories that his mother left to Kousei Arima were not all devil training and terrifying teachings before her death.

There were also times when she was gentle with him.

At a certain moment of re-playing... When Kousei Arima remembered those things, even if he still couldn't hear his own performance, and couldn't hear Kaori Miyazono's piano.

But he reproduced the scene when his mother taught him this song at the scene.

The piano no longer accompanies the violin, but the violin is following the rhythm of the piano.

From here on out.

The piano and violin ensemble scene that shocked the Xia Guo audience appeared.

The mutual blessing of the plot, the picture, and the music made the appeal of this ensemble piece very strong.

Xie Lu's eyes widened, and her ears also concentrated.

This ten-minute, two-performance plot made her not distracted for even a second.

The combination of plot and music.

From the bad accompaniment at the beginning, to the later performance of the two people competing with each other in music, and fighting for the identity of the competition protagonist.

Xie Lu listened very happily, and a feeling of hearty feeling rose in her heart.

[I can hear your voice.] Kousei Arima looked at Kaori Miyazono beside him.

[You are right here.]

The music ended, and Kousei Arima's inner monologue also ended.

In the TV series, a group of judges gave a ruthless score of zero because the two of them were improvising and paused in the middle.

But the audience cheered.

Xie Lu finally relaxed the breath she was holding back.

What is this...

At this time, Xie Lu reacted, feeling her eyes a little tearful and the emotion in her heart.

"The person performing on stage is not me! It's Kousei Arima in the play! What am I nervous about?"

Xie Lu noticed her arms, her hair stood on end, and goosebumps appeared.

The plot and the music brought her shock.

At the end of the second episode, in the cheers of the audience, who were the focus of attention.

The violin in Kaori Miyazono's hand fell, and she fell to the ground with a bang, in the stunned expression of Kousei Arima behind her, and fainted.

The ending song sounded inappropriately.

The audience's joyful and shocking emotions in front of the TV were instantly covered by anger.

?

Xie Lu's expression was dumbfounded.

This turning point?

What does this mean?

Su Yan, you old thief, are you sick?

Can you faint from playing the violin?

Don't force me to scold you on the Internet when I'm watching the most critical and touching part of the drama!

In fact, less than ten minutes after the broadcast of the second episode.

The comment area of ​​Raccoon.com's "April" was completely occupied by new posts from angry fans.

"Old thief, go to hell."

"Why did Kaori Miyazono faint? Explain it to me?"

"I was watching with excitement, and I was about to recommend this show to all my friends and family. What kind of development is this for you?"

"Is it going to be abusive?"

"This is the first time I've watched a youth romance drama that is so thrilling. By the way, Kaori Miyazono should just have fainted from low blood sugar after the performance, right?"

"Su Yan, you old thief, your piano playing ability is really strong. It's just that there is a problem with his screenwriting direction. Why did you do this kind of plot at the end of the second episode?"

"I can accept the judges giving Kaori Miyazono a zero score in the competition. But I can't accept Kaori Miyazono fainting for no reason! Old thief, explain it to me in the third episode!"

"Let's ignore the plot of Kaori Miyazono fainting at the end for now. The plot before the second episode is really amazing! It's been a long time since I've been so deeply immersed in a drama."

"The music part is amazing! Even I, a layman, listened to it with ups and downs. Is this really the music that Su Yan, the old thief, composed?"

"My head is very messy, but now I only have one thought. If Su Yan, the old thief, makes this drama depressing again, I will go to him in person and fight him."

"Although I want to support you, but if you go to fight him, you will most likely be beaten to a pulp. In Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin's movements have been circulating on the Internet. They were made by Su Yan, the old thief, without special effects or auxiliary equipment. Do you think you can survive a few moves?"

"I don't care, if Su Yan, the old thief, dares to attack Kaori Miyazono, I must let him know my cruelty!"

"Cruel? Could it be that you are saying that you will not follow his works in the next drama? And then break your promise later?"

That night, the focus of discussion on Sakura.com was the drama "The Simplest Romance."

The whole network of Raccoon.com hotly commented on "Your Lie in April".

However, the B-level drama "Scarlet Romance", which was broadcast on the same night, was rarely discussed, as if it had been abandoned by the audience.

This is the worst.

The next day at noon.

The ratings data for a group of film and television dramas that started broadcasting on Sunday night were released.

The second episode of "The Simplest Romance" had a rating of 4.31%, continuing to rank second in the quarterly ratings rankings.

"Your Lie in April!" The second episode had a rating of 3.89%.

Compared with the first episode, the rating increased by a large margin of 0.2.

It surpassed "Kotodama" and ranked fifth in the quarterly ratings in the second week of broadcasting.

As for "Scarlet Romance", the second episode had a rating of only 2.41%.

In the case that the ratings of most TV series increased in the second episode, it declined instead, and the rating ranking dropped to 19th in the quarter.

After this result was released, many people in the TV industry were a little silent.

Blue Sky TV, a rating of 3.89% in the second week of broadcasting?

What kind of result is this?

What are you going to do, Su Yan?

If it were someone else, this result would be fine.

But Su Yan is now famous in the industry for his late-stage strength.

All three of his previous works had crazy late-stage results, like an aircraft engine.

The rating trend of "April" will not be more fierce than his previous work "To the Moon", right?
