Chapter 57
Ever since Sister Song pointed it out to him that day, Luo Jiayu has been thinking about the specific meaning of the suspension bridge effect and how to implement it to grasp the essence of the suspension bridge effect.
Because Chu Yu rejected his proposal to steal the diamonds from the Candy Crush game on the dormitory manager's phone, he had to continue thinking about what method could achieve the same exciting effect as being chased for a kilometer by the dormitory manager with a broom.
After thinking for a few days, I finally came up with a new way for him to die.
The training that day was still chaotic, but overall it was not as smooth as the previous few days.
Their song had no dancing accompaniment, and if they just relied on singing, the stage effect would be somewhat monotonous, so during the initial overall discussion process, several people collectively agreed to let Mr. Li insert a violin piece.
The original video of the song "December" contains a guitar solo by the singer, but because it is a solo, it is different from the five-person stage, so it is not very meaningful for reference.
Captain Luo even secretly went to the practice room of the next group to observe in advance. There was a dispute within the other group because the solo was too prominent, so in the end they simply cut out the solo part and only kept the pure singing.
But Luo Jiayu's idea was to change the guitar solo into an instrumental ensemble, so that the stage effect would be richer and Li Sheng's violin piece could be integrated into it.
Although poorly practicing the instrumental ensemble would result in a disaster scene even more serious than poor singing, their group did not lack such a thing. However, what they lacked the most was confidence, so when the captain proposed this idea, the group passed the proposal unanimously.
The confident and handsome Luoluo puppy raised his head and spoke first: "What instruments do you all know? Let me select and arrange them."
Tang Yanning: "Cello, I can play a duet with Li Sheng."
Song Lai was eager to try: "DJing."
Luo Jiayu: “?”
Song Lai emphasized: "I'm very good at DJing."
Chu Yu, who was standing aside, silently imagined the scene where everyone was singing slow and lyrical songs with their eyes closed in the front, while Song Lai was sitting alone in the back, shaking her hair violently and rubbing the keyboard in her hands until it was almost on fire.
...That picture is quite beautiful.
"Anyone else know how?"
Song Lai said shyly: "I can play the drums, I'm quite versatile."
Luo Jiayu put down the small notebook he was using for recording, raised his head, patted Song Lai's shoulder with an amazed look, and praised: "Hexagonal Warrior, Teacher Song!"
Song Lai said arrogantly: "It's okay, it's okay, just average."
Luo Jiayu lowered his head again and pointed to the side without even looking: "Go over there and play triangle."
Song Lai: "..."
Luo Jiayu readily agreed: "They are all percussion instruments. I believe you will be able to master them."
Song Lai suspected that he had taught a traitor a few days ago.
Mr. Li had already scheduled a violin solo, so he skipped it when it was his turn.
The next one is Chu Yu.
Chu Yu, who had been looking down, sleepy and dazed, noticed his childhood friend's gaze and raised his eyes. Like the others before him, he also reported, "I can play the guitar."
Luo Jiayu looked at him for a while, then curled his lips: "I know you can play the guitar."
Chu Yu nodded, then said, "Do you want to play the piano?"
There was a camera in the practice room when they were discussing this, so everyone in the comments heard the question.
[Oh my god, can this guy play the piano?]
[I thought that if Sprayer Brother wanted to learn a musical instrument, he would only compete with Sister Song to become a nightclub DJ]
[It’s hard to imagine the guy who even adds a rap and electronic music to a children’s song sitting down to play the piano quietly]
[Wait a minute, how did Xiaoyu know Luo Luo could play the piano? I found it again, didn’t I?]
Luo Jiayu started learning piano several years ago. His mother found a private piano teacher for him because her son was too naughty. He had the face of a noble little prince but he did the work of a village idiot all day long. She wanted Luo Jiayu to learn some elegant musical instruments to cultivate his sentiments.
At that time, Chu Yu's mother sent her son to try out a few lessons. When Chu Yu was a child, he looked as soft as a little bun. Such a well-behaved and cute child just sitting there made the piano teacher's heart melt.
Then during the break, Chu Yu, under the guidance of Luo Jiayu, took a screwdriver and dismantled the piano beyond recognition. The piano cover and key panels were all over the floor. Five minutes before class, they found that they could not be put back together.
When they were standing outside the door that day as punishment, the north wind was blowing particularly bleakly. The two children were shivering as they shared the only piece of beef jerky in Luo Jiayu's pocket because their parents didn't let them eat dinner.
"I thought your father didn't let you learn anymore after he beat you that day." Chu Yu said weakly.
"I've studied for several years, and I still remember a lot. I should have no problem playing the ensemble." Luo Jiayu was full of confidence.
Time jumps to today. Ji Fengzhu didn't come for inspection because of something urgent. Ling Wei originally wanted to go and see them, but for some reason, it was Wei Lun who came in the end.
The aging superstar had a sense of majesty about him, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like a "川" character, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the young people was clearly not very satisfactory.
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was Song Lai, who was swinging a triangle around and singing high notes with a microphone. At her feet was a Mary Sue domineering CEO novel that she had not had time to hide.
Wei Lun's blood pressure rose when he saw it.
"What is this?" He picked up the novel and swung it again and again. "What is this?"
Song Lai raised her eyes timidly, quickly scanned the cover of the book, and then stammered as she read the title.
"The... Expensive Cute Wife: Young Master Leng's Contracted Lover."
"I can read!" Wei Lun's blood pressure rose another notch. "How dare you bring a novel like this into training? Do you have any respect for the show?"
"I was wrong, teacher." Song Lai apologized smoothly. "Actually, I never read novels while training. I brought this book mainly because... I'm used to it and it makes me feel at ease."
"What are you planning?" Wei Lun snorted coldly and decided to let him go for the time being. He turned around and saw Tang Yanning huddled against the wall with a nervous look on his face, as if he was hiding something behind him.
"Take it out."
Tang Yanning handed it over, and Wei Lun looked down and saw that it was also a book.
This group loves reading.
"Selected Works of the Odyssey and the Iliad" seems to be a little more advanced than the one read by that sissy just now.
"Are you here for the talent show or for academics?"
Tang Yanning lowered his head and said nothing. If only he had a small loudspeaker, everyone would be able to hear his sincere answer in his heart:
I'm here to create a character.
But Wei Lun looked at the little boy in front of him, who looked weak and frail, and who always casually revealed the Tibetan bracelets and gold-rimmed glasses chains he carefully wore, which seemed to match the book in his hand quite well.
After so many years in the circle, he can still understand the young people's thoughts, so he didn't say much.
However, the next second, the cover of the book suddenly fell off. The original cover was just a disguise and fell straight to the ground, revealing the true appearance of the book.
When the real cover came out, everyone fell silent. Tang Yanning closed his eyes in despair: It's over.
Wei Lun looked down at the brand new book in his hand. The title on the cover read: "How to Spend Five Dollars in Three Days - One Hundred Ways to Catch a Rich Woman."
The solar plexus was throbbing.
Wei Lun felt like he was about to go into shock from the weirdos in front of him.
He turned his eyes to the side and saw Li Sheng shivering in the corner, tears in his eyes and not daring to move.
He said, "You..."
Mr. Li knelt down in front of him with a plop.
“…” He was choked by the other party’s great courtesy and forgot what to say next.
Chu Yu was originally practicing finger-picking and singing along quietly. When she looked up, she saw the face of the headmaster who looked like he was inspecting her. She subconsciously shrank back and leaned towards the corner.
Wei Lun frowned at this and scolded him, "Why are you hiding? You're a trainee going on stage, how can you be presentable like this?"
This was the first time Chu Yu officially met this mentor. In previous rating stages, Wei Lun had never spoken in front of him.
Chu Yu lowered his head, and halfway down he secretly looked up at the instructor in front of him. He was surprised to find that Wei Lun had slightly different eyes, and the way his eyebrows were twisted and his mouth was turned down looked a little familiar.
He looks like a cherry bomb.
As soon as these words came out, Song Lai, who had been pouting and feeling wronged, Tang Yanning, who had closed his eyes and refused to face reality because his personality had collapsed, and Li Sheng, who was still kneeling, all laughed in unison.
“Puff.”
“Puff.”
“Puff.”
Wei Lun: “…”
Damn, he's having trouble breathing today.
Luo Jiayu, who was sitting on the piano stool trying hard to find the feeling of transcribe music, came over when he saw this. Before he could even reach Chu Yu, he was stared at by Wei Lun.
"What were you playing?"
Luo Jiayu remained motionless: "Play the piano."
"What do you play?"
"piano."
"..." Wei Lun took a deep breath, "I mean, you play the piano very badly."
"Really?" Luo Jiayu thought thoughtfully.
"You guys are like this." After scolding everyone in the circle, Wei Lun stood at the door of the practice room, pointing and making a summary speech:
"Being able to win against another group on the performance stage is like a fantasy. I might as well go back to my hometown and farm and sell sweet potatoes."
Several people lowered their heads and listened obediently.
Only one restless little loudspeaker continued to blare:
[I planted them, but they all died. My grandfather told me to go back to the city and find a class.]
Wei Lun glanced at Chu Yu, who was squatting in the corner with his head down and silent.
If you look closely, you can see that his expression is a bit sad.
"Especially you, Chu Yu."
Chu Yu shuddered.
"Popularity is not everything, it's all empty talk." Wei Lun said vaguely.
"I actually wanted to ask you during the initial evaluation stage, is this...something called social phobia of yours a mental illness?"
Chu Yu's hand holding the guitar dropped down.
"No one is like you. I've seen introverts before, but I've only seen people with autism who don't even talk to others like you."
Wei Lun seemed to have opened up his mouth and couldn't stop talking:
"Do you think your personality is suitable for debuting? You'll have to deal with so many interpersonal relationships in the future. I'm telling you, if you don't change, you won't be able to make it anywhere."
"I think you're really not normal. You should go see a psychiatrist when you have time. Take some medication for treatment. It's for your own good. Otherwise, no matter how well you practice here, it will be useless. Besides, I don't think you like to practice. You're just taking up space..."
He paused here because Luo Jiayu walked up to him and interrupted him.
"He's not sick." Luo Jiayu pulled the door handle, his face cold enough to freeze. "You can go now. We'll give you a speech after your debut."
The next second after he finished speaking, the door was slammed shut by him.
Several people looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Giving the mentor a cold shoulder is something other trainees would never dare to do.
After Luo Jiayu slammed the door, the practice room fell silent. Finally, Song Lai was the first to break the silence, pretending nothing had happened and saying, "Continue practicing yourselves. We can go through it together again tonight?"
Tang Yanning nodded, hugging the damned tutorial book on fishing for rich women tightly in his arms: "Okay."
Mr. Li continued to sneak into the small compartment and saw wood alone.
Luo Jiayu walked over to Chu Yu, who was huddled in the corner, looking down and not saying anything. He squatted down and touched her hair. "Shall we do it again?"
Chu Yu answered irrelevantly: "I'm fine."
Her voice was low, her hair hanging down to hide her expression, and she didn't even look up at him. She emphasized again: "I'm fine."
Don't worry about me.
But the sound is shaking.
Luo Jiayu said "OK" softly, but he just squatted there and didn't move, just guarding silently.
About seven or eight minutes passed, and Chu Yu didn't say a word.
Until he saw his childhood friend quickly wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, then looked up at him calmly:
"I'm fine."
Luo Jiayu's voice was still very light: "Yeah."
"We can play together now."
"Um."
"Let's go to your piano and play together."
"Um."
"Why don't you leave?"
"My legs are numb."
“…”
Finally, Chu Yu helped the paralyzed Luo Jiayu to sit on the piano bench.
The atmosphere in the practice room was relatively silent for the rest of the day.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening when it was time to get off work. Before the others had left, they saw Luo Jiayu coming back from outside carrying a speaker.
Everyone was in a bad mood at the moment. Seeing the captain's attitude, they didn't understand what he wanted to do.
Chu Yu was originally leaning against the wall dejectedly. He saw his childhood friend fiddle with the equipment for a while, then put on his sunglasses.
After putting on his sunglasses, Brother Pengzi returned to his familiar screen-opening mode. He picked up the microphone with one hand, turned around gorgeously, and extended his hand to his childhood friend not far away.
"Come on, sing a song and release some stress."
Initial metaphor:?
The next second, the prelude of Phoenix Legend's classic song sounded in the practice room.
The other teammates were dumbfounded.
But the guy in sunglasses who was in the center of the sight obviously didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even began to sway his body skillfully to the music.
"If you don't love me, give me back my heart." The moment he opened his mouth, he showed that he was an old artist.
Song Lai was stunned, not understanding what this guy was doing that could make people dig their toes to death.
It wasn't until Luo Jiayu took off his sunglasses and gave him a look that he understood the meaning:
Suspension bridge effect.
Is there anything more exciting and heart-pounding than singing Karaoke and dancing in public in a practice room late at night?
It's a bit abstract.
"You traded your love for my youth, what else do I have left?"
After Luo Jiayu finished singing, he casually handed the microphone to Chu Yu's mouth, indicating that he should continue singing.
Chu Yu looked at him as if he were a retard, without moving his mouth.
But Luo Jiayu was not embarrassed at all, and even seemed to be more into the mood.
"If you still love me, don't say anything, just run with me and don't think too much!"
Song Lai didn't even dare to join in the disco.
The other two teammates hunched their shoulders in embarrassment.
But the man with sunglasses had already found his place, and he sang more passionately:
"Infatuation is not a sin, forgetfulness is not free and easy!"
Song Lai was still questioning his life in his heart: Who taught this idiot to pursue someone in this way?
Will this work? Will this work?
Just seeing Chu Yu's look as if he was a lunatic made him feel so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground and pretend that he had never taught this student.
"What are the consequences of being torn apart by your heart and lungs?"
When Luo Jiayu sang with great enthusiasm, he naturally handed the microphone to his childhood friend again, hoping to have a partner to sing with him.
Just when everyone thought he was going to hit a wall again, a magical scene happened.
Chu Yu took over the microphone and sang the female part in the same state of being immersed in the play.
"Whatever you ask, it's all my fault."
"Everyone thinks love is too beautiful and the reality is too tempting."
Luo Jiayu clapped his hands beside him, and the two of them seemed to be getting into the groove.
"Why on earth does it make you even sadder."
"How can I love you like this except to comfort you?"
When singing to this point, Chu Yu also began to sing passionately and emotionally. The two of them shared a microphone, and one jumped more freely than the other.
The other people stared blankly at the two of them who were singing happily.
It seems like I'm sick, but I can't take my eyes off it.
"Whose fault is it that you're lonely? Loneliness makes you so vulnerable. Let's not continue to remain silent. We should keep in touch with each other in this relationship."
Song Lai gradually became addicted to the music and began to clap his hands to the beat of his beloved disciple's music.
"I don't want to ask what my zodiac sign is. Why is there so much confusion in this era? Loneliness turns into indifference. If this continues, what can there be between us?"
After Luo Jiayu finished singing, Chu Yu took over the microphone very naturally and began to sing the female rap part with ease.
"Yes, it's my indifference that has made you feel so lost."
Luo Jiayu began to put his clothes into his pockets.
"But a woman's heart longs for more than just a promise."
Luo Jiayu took out a new pair of sunglasses from his pocket and handed them to Chu Yu beside him.
"I'm afraid of being deceived and lonely, and even more afraid that my heart will gradually wither away."
Chu Yu took the sunglasses and put them on. Now the people dancing in the disco were two cool guys wearing sunglasses. One of them had his hand on the other's shoulder, and they looked as if they were having a great time in a livehouse.
"Love is not a promise made casually. Okay, I don't want to say anymore."
They were so excited throughout the whole song. At the end, Song Lai chose to join the family and also took a microphone to start the harmony. Then came the self-destructive Tang Yanning and the somewhat excited Li Sheng.
Let’s go, let’s throw away all the unhappiness of the day along with tonight’s Luo’s KTV.
"Why on earth would it make you even sadder? What else can I do besides cry when I love you so much!"
After everyone finished singing the last line of the lyrics with a powerful voice, Luo Jiayu walked over to the sound equipment and calmly began to change the song:
"What song do you want to sing next?"
Chu Yu, still wearing sunglasses, picked up the microphone with an unsatisfied look:
"Love River."
