REMIX

It was past twelve o'clock at night, and the only light sources in the entire dormitory were the laptop in front of me and my pale face reflected in the glass window.In order to overcome the bottleneck of the arrangement, I have been up for four consecutive nights. My eye sockets are congested and hot, and I can only open them a little.People are like this. If the timeline for not completing one thing is long enough, persistence will turn into paranoia. The only thing that can make me dig a corner is this one thing. I have no time to study during the day, so I can only squeeze sleep time to write Song.

In the first drawer on the side of my desk is a stack of A4 papers, the result of this period of time.On this pile of dirty and rolled paper, some have recorded the entire lyrics of the song, and some have only written a few paragraphs with missing arms and legs - I usually use these few sheets to piece together a new song.The inspiration for writing lyrics is never interrupted, but arrangement is my weak link. My sense of melody is far lower than the sense of rhythm. To put it bluntly, this is something linked to talent. I don’t have that kind of talent like Li Qianlan. It seems that they have a natural sense of music, and unlike Fei Na who has accumulated many years of experience, I can only slowly explore their skills at their fingertips, and occasionally ask others for help.

It's so late, Li Qianlan is still hanging on the line to accompany me to repair the sound, asked him if he was sleepy, and answered the question: "Are you waiting in a hurry, I will ask Xinxin to chat with you for a while?"

"...Is it worth it? I can't keep my eyes open in the sun at night."

I really can't keep my eyes open.

At this moment, a prompt window for a new email popped out from the bottom right of the computer screen.I rubbed my eyes, without a trace of curiosity in my heart, full of depressed emotions of "it's spam anyway" and "still can't write tonight", I moved the cursor over and clicked on it.

From the moment the tired eyeballs received the signal, the entire brain was shocked and clear, without any sleepiness.

"Subject: JOAH!

Dear Xia Xi, congratulations on your application for registration as a musician and your invitation to participate in the JOAH Music Festival.Read (attached invitation letter) Please note that your personal page will be upgraded to a musician's homepage, and the account cannot be changed; your message board will be merged with the artist's message board.This email cannot be replied, and a staff member will contact you within three days..."

Maybe it was because I was inhaling too loudly, He Yiliang, who was next to me on the bed, turned over, and the bed made a creaking sound.

I realized it was really late, but I was as excited as a drugged lunatic, and my soul was about to explode from my body.

I checked it twice again, and confirmed that the sender was the official star mailbox. With trembling hands, I took a screenshot and sent it to Li Qianlan.

After a moment of silence, he replied to me with a series of "fuck me" that spanned the dialog box.

I buried my face hard in the pillow, so bored that I could see stars in my eyes.

"This is real!?"

This is real.

Although I also think that I am dreaming, maybe there is nothing in the mailbox when I wake up tomorrow morning, my song is not finished yet, the professor will ask questions by name in the first class, I hope the presentation can get a less annoying score-these Fuck them all.

I succeeded.

I slept with an extremely excited sleep, and maintained this mental state to complete the last class of the week. I hurried home and told Gong Junye the good news on the way.

These days when I was in school, he was away on a business trip. Every day, he was on a business trip, and the timing of sending a text message was extremely weird. We are used to this way of getting along in different places, but occasionally there is an urgent need to meet. when.

"I really want to share it with you face to face."

It’s already early winter in November, and it’s getting cold when holding the handrail of the bus with the hands exposed outside the sleeves. Another group of people walked up to the station, and a gust of fresh and cool wind poured in through the open door. I followed the crowd Walked into the depths of the car with the phone.

"We should have a party to celebrate, the baby has taken another step."

I couldn't resist his laughing voice through the earpiece, and I felt that my sense of satisfaction had risen to another level.

"I'll go back in two more days, the plane the morning after tomorrow. Do you want any rewards?"

It is inappropriate to laugh too presumptuously in a public place, I imitated his glib tone, "You are all you need, what else do you want."

Whether it's acting or not, he cooperates very hard every time, and is a caring object that makes people feel particularly fulfilled when they are molested. "Ah, I'm in love again."

"Mr. Gong, please give me back my first love."

"No."

I happily got out of the car and walked home.

The main body of JOAH's website and company is in our provincial capital, and the annual music festival is also held there. Due to the low threshold and better atmosphere than ordinary concerts, it has been popular among young people for many years, and has accumulated a considerable part of it. Followers.Therefore, some outside voices joked that by the end of the year, there will be a large-scale migration of blind youths across the country.

For me, who is not ambitious but clear enough, it is no exaggeration to say that I have no regrets in this life to be able to be on such a stage.

So the significance of being invited this time is extraordinary.I want him to be there, to be there to witness, to be a part of every important event in my life.

Xia Jie and Fei Na's reactions after learning about this incident were more intense and intuitive. Maybe women are good at expressing emotions. I even ran into Xia Jie and a regular customer who had come to talk to her to relieve stress and cried, "Do you know what musicians are?" What are you doing, oh my god, my son is so promising, our family has never had an artist in three generations... what if he is not his own???"

Fei Na has become my veritable senior. I heard that the two of us will still be partners during the performance. After all, we have collaborated on a few songs, and we have a tacit understanding of cooperation. When the time comes, we will listen to the arrangement of the organizer.

"I knew you could do it." She patted her chest lightly, with a little complacency in her winking eyes, "Otherwise I wouldn't have picked you."

"Effort is important, and opportunity is also one aspect. Don't relax, be ready to shine at any time."

Three days later, the staff of JOAH found me according to the contact information I left on the account. I was still busy with chores in Xiadu's store when I received a call from a local stranger.

The other party was a clear and powerful female voice, "Mr. Xia Xi? Maybe I should call you brother... According to your information, you are only 20 years old, and you are still a student... The address has been sent to your mobile mailbox, so, get ready to come Did you have an interview?"

I stacked the washed cups, gave the busy Xia Jie a look, walked to the glass wall and took off the apron, and looked at the inconspicuous figure who wanted to shine at any time.

"Ready."
