"Actually, it's okay..." Qiu Sheng looked at Wen Youxia, a little embarrassed.

The other party "cooperated" and continued to play the piano.

Wen Youxia's appearance was not that good looking, when he was deliberately indifferent, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.After Qiu Sheng said "it's okay", Wen Youxia smothered the strings very dissatisfied, raised his head, and just met Sang Xue's eyes, he slightly raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were straightened, and his eyes became more and more sinister.

Sang Xue was frightened by him, and said in embarrassment: "Let's forget it, I, I think it's not polite to listen to other people's rehearsal... And, I suddenly remembered! There are arrangements later! Go first, go first— —”

"Then leave me a message next time if you have anything to do over there."

Qiu Sheng sent her off, and Sang Xue still felt close when she walked outside the rehearsal room. She glanced at the person in the corner, as if thinking of something, and asked, "Mr. Qiu, is that the bassist in the video? The last time we talked ever?"

Qiu Sheng: "Well, it's the one who is handsome but has a particularly bad temper."

"Are you afraid of him?" Sang Xue asked half-jokingly.

The door was open, and this sentence could be heard, Gu Qi turned to Wen Youxia, who was still studying the score calmly, as if what the two of them were discussing had nothing to do with him.

After a while, Qiu Sheng was ambiguous: "...Anyway, today he has the final say."

It is obvious that a person with a strong desire for control should be reluctant to hand the joystick into the hands of another person.But at this time, the corners of Qiu Sheng's eyes were bent like a rainbow, overflowing with colorful colors, he didn't seem to be really afraid, nor was he weak at all, he was willing to surrender a part of himself to be controlled by others.

Although he didn't say anything clearly, he gave Sang Xue a certain response.The weakness of Qiu Sheng that she wanted to find, maybe this day finally got a glimpse of the edge of the haze.

Shi Ran came and figured it out in an instant, Sang Xue smiled and said, "Then, invite me to watch your next performance?"

"Okay." Qiu Sheng said, with a business-like tone, "But I really have something to do. In the future, I will focus on the band first. Others... have limited energy. If we cooperate again, we will definitely not be able to focus on the whole process as before. "

Sang Xue nodded vigorously: "I know, but if you need my help, you can jump in line at any time."

When Sang Xue left, Qiu Sheng seemed to unload a rock, and the invisible pressure disappeared.

He stood at the door for a while, until he watched Sang Xue and her assistant enter the elevator, then returned to the rehearsal room, and sat down on the chair just now.

It doesn't matter if you play the strings and become a big villain and are discussed. Once Sang Xue left, the bass player who hadn't said a word just now was ready to settle accounts after the fall.He walked towards Qiu Sheng, holding Beth on his shoulders: "Who is afraid of whom, why are you spreading rumors?"

"What's wrong?" Qiu Sheng pretended to be innocent.

Wen Youxia asked a little amusedly: "So today I have the final say?"

Qiu Sheng tilted his head, as if confirming the promise just now.

Wen Youxia: "Then get off work at five o'clock."

Qiu Sheng changed his face like flipping through a book: "Six o'clock."

Immediately proving who is the one who keeps his word, Wen Youxia scraped the tip of his nose with a pick after finishing his speech.It hurt a little, Qiu Sheng rubbed it there, and caught a bit of unnatural pink from the reflection in the window.

The cooperation of guitar and bass is the most difficult part in "Flying Birds". The drums were composed by Lu Yining himself and there is no need for major changes, so after this part is dealt with, Qiu Sheng chooses 05:30 to end the rehearsal.

Another day later, the recording studio was ready.

Yinshan has recorded two songs this time, "Flying Birds" and the newly arranged "Respect for Freedom".Compared with the former with some new treatments, "Respect for Freedom" is basically the intensive revision of the live version five years ago, without much change.

A Lian was waiting for them outside the recording studio, and later she contacted Yinshan for a radio program on a music channel.

Lu Yining bought flowers and took people out for a walk. I don't know how much sugar-coated cannonballs and sweet words played a role. Anyway, in the eyes of others, A-Lian's attitude towards him has not changed much.But after a series of events during the three-city tour, as the relationship between "artist" and "broker", Alian undoubtedly understands Yinshan better and has established a closer connection.

After the recording, she bought sweet milk for Qiu Sheng, and energy drinks for the others.

After getting into the nanny car, Alian turned his head from the passenger seat.

"Qiu Qiu, I want to discuss something with you."

After being called by the address, Qiu Sheng was sending a long list of mixing requirements to the recording studio, and almost made a typo—if it wasn’t for his poor mental state, Qiu Sheng must have handled these matters personally, at least from the beginning. Follow up to the end.

He made a "hmm" in his nasal cavity, and motioned for Allen to speak first.

"Because "Flying Bird" is a song that has never been performed publicly before, I think I can use the band's official platform to give music fans a 'prediction' before that." A Lian spoke quickly when talking about work, "I contacted you yesterday" Watch the show' program group to confirm the time, this Friday they will release the preview of the next episode, which contains a little footage of our band's performance, the director originally planned to use the premiere of "Flying Bird" as a gimmick, so they will not cover it with bgm at that time Live the original sound... I was thinking that if this is the case, after the recording is completed, we should be able to get a first version on Thursday at the latest, and then we will capture about 15 seconds to match the promotion of the program group, and then warm up according to the trend..."

When A Lian said this, he looked nervously at Wen Youxia, his eyes flickered: "I, what I think is, anyway...it's already a gimmick, why don't you use it to the end. If you think it's not good, then..."

"It's okay." Qiu Sheng said softly, "Is it Wen Xia?"

The bass player who once sneered at commercialization seemed to be comforting Allen, the corners of his mouth softened slightly: "You can make arrangements, and come to me when you need cooperation."

A Lian seemed to be encouraged, he was stunned for a while, and then nodded firmly: "I will take care of it."

Lu Yining stood by Alian unconditionally: "Anyway, it will be exposed sooner or later. No matter what, positive publicity is not a bad thing. What if the rate of spread goes up like this?"

Except for initially choosing to join Yinshan because of his admiration for Wen Youxia, Lu Yining has never been a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth.He likes to play drums, and he is very good at playing drums. He knows his abilities and talents well, so he chooses to be a full-time musician. He asks the band not only to "have fun" but also to "earn more money". It is also Lu Yining's truth.

Qiu Sheng didn't express his opinion, but A Lian poked Lu Yining on the head in dissatisfaction: "The popularity depends on the work itself, and any popular music rankings are false..."

"That's not true!" Lu Yining said without hesitation, "I fucking remembered that Hu Yize's song was at the top of the list last time—"

"Little Lu." Wen Youxia interrupted him.

Lu Yining suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, he was apprehensive for a second, and looked at Qiu Sheng's expression.

It didn't hurt or itch, but after being stabbed, Qiu Sheng didn't want to pay attention to his sudden mention of the past, so he just put on his earphones.

"I didn't do it on purpose." Lu Yining muttered.

A Lian asked nervously: "But you mentioned Hu Yize just now, do you know him? The team I led before cooperated with him, and there is something wrong with that person..."

Wen Youxia said bluntly, "That's enough."

The whole carriage fell silent immediately, and Alian sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he didn't continue to ask Hu Yize about it.

On the other hand, Qiu Sheng suddenly said after a long while: "We and Hu Yize have a bit of a disagreement, and now we don't mention those things. If you want to know, you can ask Xiao Lu in private... It's hard for me not to get angry with him."

Allen nodded blankly.

Returning from Yawan to Donghe, Qiu Sheng's temper seemed to become very impatient, and he took "take a step back and open up the sea and the sky" as his motto when dealing with everything.Others can see it, and Qiu Sheng also knows that he has changed.

Is this related to Wen Youxia?

Even if they are ordinary colleagues now, some atmosphere has changed.Qiu Sheng could feel that both Wen Youxia and he hoped that both the band and the personal relationship would develop in a better way.

As for how good it can be, maybe we have to wait for Wen Youxia to find the "answer".

On New Year's Eve, Yinshan and Woken performed in "Pandora".

Woken’s music fans have great opinions on this. In their opinion, Woken is already a domestic first-line band that can go to the Olympic Games to hold a concert. Arrange to perform in the livehouse with the newly reorganized "Crane Tail".

The protest started from the announcement of the show and lasted until the 31st. During this period, Taiguo's official website and social platform comment areas were almost destroyed, and fanatical fans flooded the boycott speech.Therefore, the joy of old fans who "celebrate Xu Ran and Qiu Sheng going to battle on the spot again" may not be understood by those who only like Woken.

Some comments were pushed to the front row, with yin and yang connoting Yinshan: "We don't care, anyway, everyone knows who the band is that got out of control and smashed the stage in front of the music fans."

It's a pity that it wasn't Yinshan who had the accident this time.

The performance was coming soon, Woken drummer Sheng Xiaoman was late and had to change the order of the band.When Yinshan was about to end, Sheng Xiaoman was still unable to be contacted, and none of the contact methods of phone and WeChat got a reply.

Xu Ran squatted at the back door of "Pandora" and smoked half a pack of cigarettes, forgetting his habit of quitting smoking and drinking to improve his voice.

Woken's manager asked Xu Ran: "What should we do now?"

"I don't want to act anymore." He broke down completely, "Without him...without Xiaoman, I can't continue acting."

Bass player Ajiao was anxious, Lu Yining suggested that they contact Sheng Xiaoman's "girlfriend", and Woken's manager cursed at Xu Ran...

Qiu Sheng came backstage, faced Gu Qi's sympathetic suggestion whether he should go to comfort him, and shook his head.

Having known each other for 15 years and forming a band for five years, they are the most suitable partners for each other.

It was such a person who abandoned him.

He couldn't fully empathize with Xu Ran's sorrow, but it probably hurt others. Qiu Sheng thought of seeing Xu Ran again, and the joy of completing the performance was swept away.He wondered even more darkly whether Sheng Xiaoman would choose today on purpose.

Just like Wen Youxia at that time, she announced her departure at the beginning of their tour on purpose.

Pain can follow you forever.

The sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Wen Youxia walked over wiping her sweaty hair.In the dimly lit lounge, Wen Youxia's eyes deepened, and the lines on his neck folded into the shadow of the light.After the performance, his T-shirt was soaked and stuck to his body, and his lips were a little dry. He took two sips from a bottle of beer, and stroked back all the forehead hair that blocked his eyes and eyebrows.

Qiu Sheng frowned and reminded him: "You take a bath first, it's December now."

"We may have to save the game later," Wen Youxia said, "Xu Ran is in a bad state."

Qiu Sheng: "Sheng Xiaoman will be fine when he comes back."

Wen Youxia smiled without comment, and gestured towards the chaos outside.The staff, managers, assistants, and musicians divided into three groups to appease Xu Ran, find Sheng Xiaoman, and deal with emergencies.

A Lian came back earlier than Sheng Xiaoman.

Panting, she stood still in front of Qiu Sheng: "Woken's performance has been cancelled, pack up and leave later."

"What's going on?" Wen Youxia asked, feeling that something was wrong.

Alian hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sheng Xiaoman can't come. He went to find his girlfriend today but saw her with Hu Yize. There must have been some friction or something. Hu Yize pushed him on the side of the road... "

Vehicles roared by, and at night, camphor trees swayed unknowingly along the street.
