fingers of musicians

"To take care of a patient who has been in a coma for a long time, you need to turn him over to avoid bedsores. You also need to help him exercise, yes, to let his muscles move passively so that the muscles are used so that they don't atrophy too much..."

Lu Zaoqiu followed the nurse's words and raised Zhong Guanbai's arm.

The skin of the person on the hospital bed faded back to the unhealthy pale color due to long-term exposure to the sun, and the slender fingers appeared weak and soft, and even became slender, not as strong as when they played the piano before.

Tang Xiaoli held a bouquet to see Zhong Guanbai.

I don't know how many times this has been here.Lu Zaoqiu didn't speak, and he didn't speak every time, just sat beside him and watched Zhong Guanbai for a while, and agreed to leave when he came next time.

This time, he sat on the side as usual, watching Lu Zaoqiu busy.After sitting for a long time, the time was getting later and later, and it was impossible to leave, so he had to call Lu Zaoqiu, and said in a bad way: "Chief Lu, we can't wait."

He didn't want to say these words directly to Lu Zaoqiu, but if he didn't say it, the matter couldn't continue to drag on. The movie wasn't his, nor Qin Zhao's alone. The whole crew couldn't wait for someone who didn't know when he would wake up. soundtrack.

"Zhong Guanbai, Brother Bai, Uncle Bai—" Tang Xiaoli wanted to grab Zhong Guanbai's ears, but was stopped by the expressionless Lu Zaoqiu, and could only curse, "If you don't wake up, the soundtrack can only be found." Someone else. When you wake up in the future and go to the cinema to watch a movie, you will definitely point at the big screen and scold your mother. Are you satisfied? I still can’t imagine your uncle who is dissatisfied after listening to someone else’s soundtrack... So you Get the fuck out of me quickly."

Zhong Guanbai didn't get up, since he was shot in the lungs that day and passed out, he lost his ability to react. He has been lying on the hospital bed like a quiet and obedient doll for more than ten days.

Abe was not in the hospital bed, he was shot in the heart and lost the chance to be hospitalized.

For more than ten days, some things have changed dramatically in silence, which caught people off guard.

After Zhong Guanbai was sent to Beijing, Lu Yingru only visited him once, and she was busy dealing with the affairs of the Lu family.When she was working, she would habitually call Abe at the beginning, which caused the other secretaries to look a little overwhelmed.

When she realized that she called Abe's name, she would never think of the story of Abraham that Ye Yu told them, and replaced it with Abe's appearance after being shot.

At that time, he was lying on the grass, and the blood kept gushing out, covering Lu Yingru's hands.

"Abe, the ambulance is coming, keep breathing, stay awake." At that moment, she tried to sound calm and believable.

"...Fang Yuyang." Blood kept pouring out of Abe's mouth, the sound was like gossamer.

"What?" Lu Yingru tried to stop the bleeding for him, "Don't talk."

"……my name."

Every time he called Abe, Lu Yingru would think of his last words.After just shouting a few times, she stopped shouting wrong, because soon she canceled all the secretaries' English names, remembered and started calling their original names.

Lu Yingru would call Zhong Guanbai's doctor once a day to ask about Zhong Guanbai's situation and Lu Zaoqiu's situation, because Lu Zaoqiu didn't answer the phone.It should be said that he hardly spoke.Taking care of Zhong Guanbai does not need to speak.

He went to the college to attend classes as usual, to complete the scheduled concert performance, but moved his family to the ward, and spent all his time with Zhong Guanbai besides work.This sometimes gives people the illusion that Zhong Guanbai is just sleeping late, and Lu Zaoqiu is reluctant to call him, so he is doing his own thing.

One day, Lu Zaoqiu read news about his father and Zhong Guanbai in the newspaper.The characters with the smell of ink have changed, rendering the story into a different script, with ups and downs and fascinating plots.That morning, Lu Zaoqiu was blocked by Yuji at the entrance of the Conservatory of Music, and all kinds of questions swarmed in. In the end, it was the school's security guards and passing students who stopped the reporter.When Lu Zaoqiu was in class, a student told him that he found two buttons missing from the front of his coat.

But it doesn't seem to matter, these reporters will be blocked outside the academy and the hospital, and Lu Zaoqiu can seem to turn a blind eye to what happened in the middle section of the road.

After the news was reported, more and more friends wanted to come and see Zhong Guanbai, and they didn't know the truth and intentions. Lu Zaoqiu became a bad guy again and blocked most of Zhong Guanbai's "friends" from the door. He Yulou made a call once, saying that Mr. Wen's heart is not good, so don't let him know, and Mr. He doesn't have to come over, lest Mr. Wen think too much and worry.

The next time Tang Xiaoli came, he brought Qin Zhao with him one night.

Lu Zaoqiu was reading some scribbled manuscripts when he knocked on the door and came in.

The crew has basically decided to change the soundtrack, because even if Zhong Guanbai wakes up now, he needs time to recuperate and cannot start working immediately.Qin Zhao made his decision solemnly, even with a hint of apology that he didn't need.In fact, he has waited long enough, and it is moral enough in terms of financial loss and changes in scheduling arrangements. Now he can't wait any longer, and the crew will be disbanded if he waits any longer.

Lu Zaoqiu put down the stack of manuscripts and asked, "Who changed?"

Tang Xiaoli mentioned two names, and said: "There are schedules, and they are still negotiating with each other's studios, which one has not been decided yet."

After hearing the candidates, Lu Zaoqiu shifted his gaze from Tang Xiaoli's eyes to Qin Zhao's, and said only two words: "No."

"I know they are not as good as Zhong Guanbai, but there is no way." Qin Zhao paused, "I don't like the word 'no way', because I don't believe there is really no way, once people get used to saying With these four words, things will start to fail in this life. But now," he glanced at Zhong Guanbai who was lying on the bed, "just to make things happen, I have to replace him."

Lu Zaoqiu stood up, picked up a white paper from a corner of the table, and handed it to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao picked it up, only to realize that it was the script of the movie. He opened it and saw that it was full of notes.The extremely thin dark blue pen characters are neatly distributed around the script, all of which are conceived and designed around the soundtrack of the scene.

"Chief Lu, I know that Zhong Guanbai has put in a lot of hard work for this soundtrack, but now he—"

Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, Tang Xiaoli took the script from him and interrupted, "When will Zhong Guanbai write like this? If he writes honestly, it won't be ugly, but if he has What kind of idea, that is called a penmanship, and the things he writes can be understood by himself. This is definitely not written by him, is it, Chief Lu?"

After Tang Xiaoli said the last word, his questioning eyes fell on Lu Zaoqiu, and he suddenly understood.

The handwriting is beautiful, the ink marks are still fresh, especially some of the terms are written in Italian, and the letters are written in the same way as in the manuscripts of classical music.

Zhong Guanbai doesn't write like this, only Lu Zaoqiu can write like this.

Qin Zhao read the script again and understood.

"It's not enough." Lu Zaoqiu picked up the stack of manuscripts he was looking at just now, and spread them out on the table page by page.The huge desk was completely covered with staff paper, and Lu Zaoqiu still had a stack left in his hand.

Qin Zhao and Tang Xiaoli stood in front of the table to look at the manuscripts. They were written by Zhong Guanbai, with many alterations and scribbled words. Qin Zhao and Tang Xiaoli were not professional musicians, and it was easy to identify them.These are not finished drafts. Regarding the concerto and the soundtrack of the movie, Zhong Guanbai has not produced a finalized draft, and even the recordings are fragments.The things on the table were sorted by Lu Zaoqiu from the piano room, study room, living room, bedroom and even the balcony at home. All the manuscript papers were collected in one place, and every page, every line, every note was read carefully. After careful scrutiny, the page numbers and revisions were written, and the places where doubts were recorded, finally became the table full in front of Tang Xiaoli and Qin Zhao.

"This is what Ah Bai wants to do, we must do it well." After Lu Zaoqiu finished speaking, he took out a CD and asked them to go back and listen to it.

Lu Zaoqiu's violin recordings are not many. He made solo records in his early years, and most of his later recordings were live concerts. In recent years, there is only one kind of performance specially for recording, and that is the cooperation recording with Zhong Guanbai.The CD was a collection of Zhong Guanbai's soundtrack works. There was no Yin Lu Zaoqiu's name on the cover, but every symphony in it was recorded by Lu Zaoqiu leading the orchestra with Zhong Guanbai's conductor.Ordinary movies don't allocate too high a budget for the soundtrack, so they can't afford such a lineup, and only Zhong Guanbai is willing to ignore the cost when he makes music.

Tang Xiaoli found strange engravings on the back cover of the CD, and at first glance it was Zhong Guanbai's own engraving. beside.

Without further explanation, Tang Xiaoli and Qin Zhao already knew what that meant.

The three of them sat in the hospital ward until late at night, and the soundtrack staff settled down under the not-so-bright lights, in the pages of manuscripts, and in Lu Zaoqiu's deep voice describing the music.

Lu Zaoqiu will give the background music that will be used during filming before the movie starts, and only Zhong Guanbai's name will be left in the movie's cast and crew list and future promotional posters, just like that Zhang CD.
