But unwilling to see the scenery

Jiang Nuo pushed Yan Ruoyu away, and sat back in front of the console as if nothing had happened.

Young master Yan Ruoyu has a bad temper. Outsiders look cold, but he is very emotional towards people he knows well. After getting along for a long time, Jiang Nuo has also figured out the way. For example, he must not blush or be shy at this time, otherwise Yan Ruoyu will become funny. Will play tricks on him again.

But Yan Ruoyu did not give up, put his chin on the table, pinched his nose and called, "Sister."

"If you call me that again, I'll cut my hair right away." Jiang Nuo's serious look didn't seem like he was joking, Yan Ruoyu pretended to have a zipper on his mouth, and after obediently zipping it up, he listened to the beat with Jiang Nuo, and was accepted by Jiang Nuo from time to time Nuo's soul tortured: "Do you have inspiration?"

Yan Ruoyu blinked, but the answer was always shaking his head.

This scene seems familiar, "PickPick! "The editor and director once suggested that he write some heartfelt songs, about family and friendship or self-analysis, even for fans, which will be more recognizable.

But Yan Ruoyu is unwilling, and still likes the style of "Amsterdam" rap. It's very cool and exciting at first, but it will get boring after listening to it too much, because anyone can write such lyrics, and anyone can sing the same.

Of course, other rappers may sing such words to show off, and Yan Ruoyu is just recording the boring life.

"By the way, why are you so happy today?" Jiang Nuo asked.

Yan Ruoyu was about to fall asleep listening to beats, but suddenly woke up, took out his phone and opened Weibo, and showed him the mutual follow between himself and the official blog of Shadow Dance Troupe.This is a new hip-hop dance team that has already shown its head and feet when it is fledgling. The leader is a Chinese who has just returned to China. He and Yan Ruoyu are college classmates. He is sincerely invited to join and participate in the hip-hop dance competition held in Europe next month.

Yan Ruo sighed foolishly and pompously: "I'm so bored now, the competition day coincides with the fashion week, and the location is in a French-speaking part of Switzerland. I have to rush to Paris non-stop after the preliminary competition, regardless of the dance troupe. How about the results, I must have missed the finals myself."

When Jiang Nuo listened to Yan Ruoyu complaining, he also noticed the corners of his mouth constantly raised.Sha Kezhong is a Ling'an dialect that cannot be translated into Mandarin, which means to be brave enough to do what you want to do. This brand was born two years ago, and its debut was the pinnacle.

But when the brand's word-of-mouth and sales both exploded, he only thought about quitting for a while, just like his operation in the talent show, he insisted on withdrawing from the competition when he could debut at the C position. Without the reporter as the fuse, he would have found other reasons.

How many people are struggling for fame and fortune, Yan Ruoyu's career trajectory is always familiar, but he is good at leaving when success is within easy reach, and makes people around him who know him sweat for him all the time.

"Have you ever been abroad?" Yan Ruoyu generously invited, "Would you like to go to Europe together and spend the Spring Festival there directly?"

Jiang Nuo shook his head: "I celebrate the New Year with Jiang Zhi and the others."

"Oh." Yan Ruoyu was very regretful, he was cheerful and cheerful, but he withered in a blink of an eye, lying on the office chair and circling unrequitedly.

"If you are stupid."

Yan Ruoyu didn't respond.

"Little fish."

Yan Ruoyu still didn't respond.

"elder brother."

"Hey!" Yan Ruoyu regained his energy, and sat upright, "What's the matter, sister."

Jiang Nuo: "..."

Jiang Nuo: "Can I ask you a question, and you answer me honestly."

Yan Ruoyu made a promise: "Okay, sister."

"How far do you plan to go on the road of rap?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Ruoyu was a little dazed, feeling that Jiang Nuo was serious like those mentors who questioned their dreams on talent shows.

"I know you don't have financial pressure, and you don't need to rely on rap for a living. You may join this dance troupe today, and form a band tomorrow. This is normal, but I want to be psychologically prepared." Jiang Nuo also found it difficult to explain his current concerns.It's like an author writing a new article after several articles in a row. Readers who have been in other pits are terrified and will definitely hesitate before entering the new pit.

Jiang Nuo asked: "Are you sure you want me to make 12 songs?"

Yan Ruoyu didn't think about what Jiang Nuo was worried about, and planned in his heart. Although they had already made a grime, he only released four songs a year on average, and 12 songs was three years. Long, but not short either.

In fact, he has a lot of material. Why does he always give up when success is only short of the door? Is it a character defect or disdain? When someone mentioned his parents, is the parent-child relationship really as inconsistent as the rumors say...

But these are exactly what he has been avoiding.In order to escape graduation and return to China to participate in the audition, and to avoid being an idol, he quit the game to become a trendy brand. When his new career took off, he couldn’t bear to start making music again. Now he suddenly said that he would join the dance troupe. Not surprised.

He just felt that this was not the way to go.Human confusion and spiritual crisis do not arise spontaneously, but have always existed, lingering to the point that cannot be ignored.Yan Ruoyu's evasions time and time again are destined to stand at the intersection again and again, and choose again and again how to go next, whether to continue to deceive himself and others to whitewash the memory to the point of falsehood, or to give it a go.

"Don't you have... anything you want to express?" Jiang Nuo asked.

"For example?" Yan Ruoyu looked blank.

"Do you have feelings for your city?" Jiang Nuo suddenly thought of something, "What do you think of the cyphermv that lzc just posted?"

"I haven't stayed in Ling'an City as long as you. Where did the nostalgia come from?" Yan Ruo smirked, "Are you talking about Liang Zhen's label? I haven't heard of it yet."

Since they didn't listen, it would be better to hit the sun than choose another day. The two sat shoulder to shoulder in front of the computer, one with a serious expression, and the other with curiosity.Before clicking play, Jiang Nuo thought that if Yan Ruoyu hadn't seen it, he could just make a reaction video, so he put the camera on the top, and he didn't get in the shot.

Cypher in rap refers to microphone relay.A team, a label, or a rap among friends is Cypher.

Some labels release cypher every year, and the lyrics include a summary of the past year and expectations for the future.The LZC label representing Lanzhou rap has been established for more than ten years. During its heyday, more than a dozen rappers from the Northwest region gathered together, like a drop of water.Later, due to personal development and pursuit, the rappers who left and quit LZC scattered and the Yellow River entered the sea, unstoppable, and they all won glory for their hometown and hometown.Up to now, besides the manager Liang Zhen, LZC has four other members.A label that has been established for more than ten years has its own unique style and background. When the screen was still black and the prelude sounded, Yan Ruoyu couldn't help but "wow" when he heard that they sampled the swords, lights and swords with a movie texture.

Afterwards, the camera flashed back to show several landmark buildings in Lanzhou, and then took an aerial shot of the silver-clad Yellow River Mother Statue from a height, and quickly zoomed in and took a wrap-around shot of the five members of LZC standing in front of the Mother Statue.

"Liang Zhen was the first to sing." Yan Ruoyu didn't expect this.Generally speaking, the core characters of the label will be the finale, and LZC’s Cyphers in the past will also arrange the order in this way, but this year Liang Zhen took the lead. When singing, everyone turned to the camera from different angles, and only looked directly at their own part. , the tone of the entire mv and the accompaniment all reveal a sense of chill.

"I like this beat, the drums are strong." Yan Ruoyu couldn't help but sway to the rhythm.This is a relatively typical boombapbeat. The drumbeat is the core of the accompaniment and is highly emphasized. The accent of each word of Liang Zhen just falls on the accent of the beat, which is full of power and very refreshing.

Yan Ruoyu didn't read the lyrics carefully, and focused on the arrangement and accompaniment. After the camera showed the second rapper, he could hear new drums added to the track, and the drum beats began to become complicated. The rapper's vocals It's not as ruthless as Liang Zhen, and it blends well with the accompaniment.Every time a rapper comes on stage, the accompaniment will change slightly to highlight the rapper's personal characteristics. When Lin Huai was the last to appear on stage, Yan Ruoyu paused. Pass."

"Listen first." Jiang Nuo pressed the play button.

Before Lin Huai, the beats per minute of other people's accompaniment drums were above 100, but when it was Lin Huai's turn, the frequency of the snare drum slowed down significantly. The cymbal sound, the melody suddenly becomes psychedelic, which means that the arrangement style has changed from oldschool to trap——

I'm only 19 this year/ I've achieved great success/ I'm still making great progress/ Block all the conversations

In front of me is my comrade/helping hand/it is my turn to clench my fist/never give up

At this critical juncture / see through / all taught by seniors

Roaming/in this bay of the Yellow River/boating/collecting the world at a glance

……

Lin Huai walked forward holding the camera, and then left from the side. On the screen, there was the rushing Yellow River and the speedboats flowing. Liang Zhen and his brothers stood in a bay in the river as if they had an isolated island.The camera zoomed in front of Liang Zhen, and he finally said——

This is the golden city of Lanzhou

Guarded by LZC

Jiang Nuo pressed the back button, played Lin Huai's part again, and asked Yan Ruoyu: "What do you think of his writing of the double bet?"

Yan Ruoyu raised his eyes, his eyeballs rolled around and landed on his fingers, he picked it, and muttered unconvinced: "Give me time, and I can write it."

"Really?" Jiang Nuo didn't believe it. "It only took three days from the recording to the finalization of the MV. Lin Huai was studying at Ling'an University, and after filming, he rushed back to the winter vacation semester."

Jiang Nuo looked at the date, and found that the Lunar New Year would be celebrated in less than 20 days. Contemporary college students actually have a winter vacation and elementary school, which is comparable to junior and high school cram schools.He searched for Lin Huai's name in Netease Cloud Music, and every song that popped up had more than 999 comments, and the word that appeared most frequently was "Xiaoliangzhen".

"Do you want to cooperate with him? You are the same age, and it may be more empathetic to communicate."

"What do you mean, we're only three years apart?" Obviously there was no need to refute, but Yan Ruoyu wanted to say this, to show that if he had to choose between the two, he would definitely not care about Lin Huai.

"It's not a question of age..." Jiang Nuo smiled helplessly, "He should still be in school now, if you want, I'll ask him out for you."

Yan Ruoyu narrowed his eyelids, and asked vigilantly, "How do you two know each other?"

"I helped them mix this Cypher," Jiang Nuo said innocently, "We haven't made a single song in January, and you didn't say that I can only work for you alone, so I'll just fish for money." It's too soon."

Yan Ruoyu: "..."

Yan Ruoyu is free anyway, so why not meet Lin Huai.After the call was connected, he asked Jiang Nuo to turn on the speakerphone, and Lin Huai kept his mouth shut. Teacher Nuo called so affectionately that Yan Ruoyu's eyelids kept twitching.

Jiang Nuo saw everything in his eyes, his back felt cold, and he was afraid that if he didn't get straight to the point, Ruoyu would drop his phone, so he asked directly: "I have a friend who wants to communicate with you, do you think so, when will you have time?" ?”

Lin Huai asked the bottom line: "What kind of friend?"

Jiang Nuo looked up at Yan Ruoyu, his Adam's apple twitched, and said, "You'll know it when you see it, you're a... rap lover."

Yan Ruoyu twitched the corners of his mouth, not very satisfied with this answer.

"Don't worry, this call comes at the right time. I have to catch the earliest plane tomorrow to attend an event. Hey, buddy, I'm awesome. I've been invited to give a speech... By the way, your friend is called What's the name?"

Jiang Nuo said truthfully: "The banquet is like a fool."

Lin Huai was suddenly quiet, and Jiang Nuo thought he was disconnected. Just as he was about to ask what happened, Lin Huai exclaimed, "Which Yan Ruoyu? The Ruoyu who is wise and foolish?"

"Yes, it's me." Yan Ruoyu said, thankful for the nth time in his life that his parents didn't use the first two words to name him.

"Then we must meet and have a drink."

Yan Ruoyu found it interesting: "You know me?"

Lin Huai said as it should: "Who else doesn't know you these days."

There is no one who doesn’t like to listen to Rainbow Farts, Yan Ruoyu couldn’t hide the little joy in his heart, and was about to ask Lin Huai which song he likes, Lin Huai continued: “Which stars do you search on Zhihu to prove that as long as If you look good, you will get fans, or if you click on the essence of "Appearance is justice", the most upvoted answer is all about you."

Yan Ruoyu: "???"
