After the performance, the recording scene fell into a long silence.Everyone saw that Wang Zhaodi could not control her emotions and turned her back to the camera. Seeing this, Vee walked up to her at a loss and gave her a hug.

I don't know who took the lead, but the applause did sound from that hug.After the applause gradually subsided, Wang Zhaodi pushed Vee away, and the two stood side by side on the stage, waiting for the three groups of teachers' comments.

"This song is very touching," Louis affirmed with a little sparkle in his slightly twinkling eyes, "You are the most sincere group so far."

"Unexpected, really unexpected..." Tang Yanguan was also very touched, never expecting that the sparks created by the collision between old og and Wang Zhaodi would be so love and peace.

Liang Zhen didn't speak for a long time, he lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking about.After five or six seconds, he stood up, got off the instructor's seat, walked to the stage step by step, and gave Vee a hug.

Then he took the mic that Lin Zhe handed over from the backstage, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly before he spoke, and then he smiled, retracing some old memories: when he was [-]** years old, he went to participate in freestylebattle, and the rappers who participated were getting better and better one by one. It's a big blow, but no one will claim to be kingofunderground, but they will use "becoming futureVee" as a rhyme and punchline.

If underground rap also had a golden age, then Vee was the idol of that era.Among these people, there are only a handful of people who are still insisting on rapping. Even if the market improves in the past two years, those like Vee who are willing to come back are rare.

"For many rap practitioners my age, Vee is an inescapable character. At that time, there was no NetEase Cloud, and we listened to Vee's songs on a website called 51555, and then we realized that rhyming can still be so pressing. Flow can play like this..."

Liang Zhen's lips were very close to Mai's, and he said in a slightly nasal voice: "Era will pass away, but your father will always be the hero of a generation."

Wang Zhaodi also used that website, and interjected: "Before those who pray insincerely open a NetEase cloud account, they will post their songs on 51555."

When Yan Ruoyu heard Wang Zhaodi's mention, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Nuo beside him, but Jiang Nuo couldn't take his eyes off Wang Zhaodi on the stage.

Yan Ruoyu's mind was instantly confused, his eyes wandered between Jiang Nuo and Wang Zhaodi, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was the one who was redundant.In this performance, Wang Zhaodi completely put away the sharp part of her character. Before the mentor voted, she deliberately took a step back, as if implying that Liang Zhen also voted for Vee. care.

But Liang Zhen still voted for Wang Zhaodi, while Wang Sunjing and Tang Yanguan chose Vee.Wang Zhaodi was not sad and disappointed, but encouraged Vee very generously: "To win, uncle, your daughter is watching!"

Then she trotted off the stage, her mind full of unfinished reports from the company.When passing by Jiang Nuo, she raised her eyes secretly, but Jiang Nuo spotted her.

It was this short pair of eyes, and Jiang Nuo, who never took the initiative to others, called her name behind Wang Zhaodi.

Wang Zhaodi stopped slowly and turned her head in a daze, as if she was still doubting the authenticity of the name.Jiang Nuo didn't catch up either, and stood there inexperienced, asking, "Can I add a contact information?"

"... Huh?" Wang Zhaodi hadn't been approached by a man in 800 years, so she couldn't react immediately.Jiang Nuo was also quite flustered, and changed his words: "We have a group, I—"

Only then did he remember to take out his phone, and when he raised his eyes, he finally noticed Yan Ruoyu.

And just like he has been observing Wang Zhaodi, Yan Ruoyu only had him in his eyes from the beginning to the end, and now he narrowed his eyes aggrievedly, as if complaining, why didn't Jiang Nuo look at him.

"I..." Jiang Nuo held the phone and suddenly didn't know what to say.Seeing that the two of them hadn't played yet, Lin Zhe just rushed over and couldn't help but push the two of them onto the stage. Wang Zhaodi grabbed his hand just before the stage lights hit Jiang Nuo, and spread his palm. Write a series of numbers next to the tattoo on the palm with the fountain pen you carry.

The string of numbers is not long, but Wang Zhaodi's writing hands are shaking more and more, emphasizing that the ending number of the sentence is not 7 but 1.

Then she didn't know what to say, she didn't even say a word of encouragement, she just left the scene as if her face was hot but not flushed.Jiang Nuo watched as her back completely disappeared. He was afraid of blurring the numbers when he came on stage, so he held the microphone with his left hand.

On the instructor's seat, Louis looked at the players' seat and asked, "Is this the last group?"

Lin Zhe gave him an affirmative gesture, and Tang Yanguan paid attention to the online votes, knowing that Yan Ruoyu, who ranked first, pulled a large distance from No.2 in terms of popularity, and said: "They are also the most relaxed group. .”

"Then pay more attention to the accompaniment," Liang Zhen boasted like an irresistible spoiler, "the beat of this song is very experimental."

"Is it the 5th series?" Wang Sunjing flipped through the lyrics of "8month", but he couldn't connect this rap with "experimental" for the time being.Experimental means "new", the newer it is, the more difficult it is to listen to, and it is easier to embarrass when it is paired with narrative lyrics, and it is difficult for the audience to empathize.

Wang Sunglass couldn't help sweating for the two young men on the field, but as the thin piano sounded, his worries gradually dissipated.

He is narrow-minded. When it comes to experimentation, he only wants a futuristic music atmosphere, such as Song Zhou's "0577 to 2077", but this "8month" does the opposite, not only using the whole process The piano sound has also been completely subtracted, abandoning the soul of rap music-drum beats.

Of course, such a special idea did not come from the beginning. Jiang Nuo actually wanted to sample jazz at first, until a few nights ago, when he went back to the hotel with Yan Ruoyu, he accidentally discovered that there was a piano in the restaurant on the first floor.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant had long since closed. Only a few small side lights on the ceiling were on, and the piano stage in the middle was the dimmest.

But Yan Ruoyu walked over curiously, opened the cover of the piano and pressed a few keys, and the modal particles learned from Lin Huai came out of his mouth: "Wairi, if you have money, buy a grand piano and put it here to support the surface. No money to tune."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Nuo asked.Yan Ruoyu originally planned to leave, but seeing Jiang Nuo also approaching, he immediately changed his mind.

"It's not that inaccurate, I can play it!" He moved his butt to the side of the piano chair, patted the vacant space and let Jiang Nuo sit down quickly.

"I won't..." Although Jiang Nuo said so, he still sat down, Yan Ruoyu said it was okay, he would, he played for Jiang Nuo.

He was sitting on the left side, with his hands on the keys, and his slender and strong fingers firmly pressed down, and the moonlight leaked out from the piano.After about half a minute, his left hand began to take care of the low-toned black and white keys in front of him, and then jumped back to the crisp part in front of Jiang Nuo.Seeing that the moonlight was about to push away the dark blue velvet clouds, he accidentally pressed two buttons by mistake, and withdrew his hand, feeling lost and said, "I forgot about the latter."

"It sounds good." Jiang Nuo looked at him, "Whose song is this?"

Yan Ruoyu replied: "Debussy's "Moonlight"."

Jiang Nuo looked at the black and white keyboard again, and after a short moment of silence, asked again: "Who is Debussy?"

"Debussy——" Yan Ruoyu was about to start the introduction from the biography of the character, when he noticed that Jiang Nuo carefully put his hand on the piano key and did not press it, and suddenly changed his mind.

"Debussy is my mother's favorite pianist. More than 20 years ago, she and my father held a western-style wedding by the sea. My father put a piano where the waves would beat and played this piece for her. "moonlight"."

"You can still find documentaries of that wedding on the Internet," Yan Ruoyu said, "My mother walked in a white wedding dress from the sea of ​​flowers on the beach, and my father was waiting for her in the blue waves."

Jiang Nuo said, "Your father is so romantic."

"Romantic fart," Yan Ruoyu told him the little secret behind romance, "My grandfather didn't study much when he was young, and as his family business grew, he hoped to train my dad to be a literate person and send him to learn piano But my dad has never been interested. There are eight or ten teachers who are angry. The 175 million Schweitan has been put on hold for more than 20 years. It was not until he met my mother that he frantically returned to his old profession and practiced only this one over and over again. "Moonlight"."

As Yan Ruoyu said, he played the soothing and quiet prelude of "Moonlight" again: "My grandfather has always been very accurate in reading people. He has long seen that my father is interested in my mother, but he disagrees. He knows that my father will be the first to kill and then invite my mother to participate. After the fashion week dinner, I was even more furious, and all the angry words of cutting off father and son came out, forcing my father and my mother to confess before the end of the dinner, and end this sneaky relationship."

"Then guess what?" Yan Ruoyu was still playing the piece slowly, and asked Jiang Nuo with a smile.Jiang Nuo knew without guessing that his father must have not surrendered, otherwise there would be no Yan Ruoyu.

"Then my dad played the song "Moonlight" at the dinner party, walked up to my mom in front of all the media reporters, knelt down on one knee without any ring, and asked her if she would marry?"

After Yan Ruoyu finished speaking, he also pressed the last button he could remember.

There was silence in the huge dining room, only the two of them sat in front of the piano, looking at each other sideways.

All the curtains around were drawn tightly, and the small round lamps around the ceiling were the only light source, dimly illuminating the people around them, falling into Yan Ruoyu's eyes, as if bathed in moonlight, so peaceful and gentle that it was unreal ——

This sense of unreality can only be found in Jiang Nuo.The more he stares at Jiang Nuo, the more unreal Yan Ruoyu feels.It's not that he doubts the existence of this person, but that they are so close, but Jiang Nuo always seems so far away, neither dodging nor approaching, unlike him, he can't help but lean together, feeling that everything is just right, just right Fill the distance between the two with the heat of breath, and the shadow cast by the light.

Then all the surrounding lights suddenly went out, and they were all turned on in the next second. The hotel staff asked at the entrance of the restaurant, "Gentlemen, do you need any help?"

Yan Ruoyu hurriedly withdrew, as if he had experienced Zhuang Zhou's dream, and said to the staff, "No, nothing."

He and Jiang Nuo left the restaurant through another exit. After returning to the room, Jiang Nuo was calmer than him and said that he should sample piano music, not necessarily "Moonlight", but also other soft songs.These are all his memories of that night. There is no Yan Ruoyu who can't help it, but stays in the song that sounds good and can be re-created.

This is how the accompaniment of "8month" came about.Strictly speaking, this beat, which doesn’t even have superimposed drumbeats, is not considered a rap accompaniment, but the singing style of the two contestants is the most primitive way of talking and singing, without skills, and they don’t even pay attention to rhyme and flow. Daolai came to that night when they met by accident.

They didn't talk too much about privacy, but focused on depicting the scene: fireworks in shantytowns, starry sky outside the rental house, a monastery in Amsterdam... Before they finished singing, Wang Sunjing whispered to Liang Zhen: "This kind of music It's good, but unlike rap, I don't know what genre to put it in."

"I personally think that music is so good that there is no concept of genre." Liang Zhen expressed his opinion and gave an example, "No one will entangle whether some of Keven Kim's songs are rock or hip-hop, because he is too strong, really It should be classified according to genre, his songs are not rock style or hip-hop style, but kevenkim style."

Liang Zhen said: "Good music is good music, and should not be limited by genre."

Wang Sunglass nodded, agreeing with Liang Zhen's point of view.The two looked at the stage again, expecting the two people on the stage to finish the last hook to end the performance, but Yan Ruoyu suddenly, after unintentionally catching a glimpse of the string of numbers on Jiang Nuo's palm, unexpectedly forgot word out.
