Chapter 11: A Hotter Song (Part II)
In the summer of 2003, Lin Shugui was admitted to the best high school in their city, Yuancheng No. 1 High School, with the first place in the town, and became the same table as Xu Mingyu, a girl from a neighboring town.
Because of their introverted personalities, they are not good at communicating, and after a semester, they didn't know a few classmates except each other.
So they go to class together, leave school together, eat together, study together, go back to the dormitory together, and discuss and study together...... Over time, feelings are secretly born, and the existence of the other party in his heart gradually becomes irreplaceable.
They study harder and hope to get into the same university in the future.
In the summer of the sophomore year of high school, the intimate world of the two had to end early because of Xu Mingyu's sudden departure abroad.
After that, Lin Shugui began to work hard to adapt to the world without Xu Mingyu.
But on the New Year of '06, Xu Mingyu returned from Australia and asked Lin Shugui to meet.
Lin Shugui saw Xu Mingyu again, and the feelings hidden in his heart suddenly reappeared.
On January 26, 2006, the 27th day of the lunar month, it began to rain cold ice from the morning, and by noon the rain had turned to snow.
They exchanged their first kisses when the first snow came.
However, after the New Year, Xu Mingyu returned to Australia again.
At first, the two kept in touch as agreed, but then the college entrance examination was approaching, and the academic tension was tense, and the contact was slowly terminated, and finally it was over.
Lin Shugui was later admitted to a university in the south, and met his future girlfriend Zheng Hemiao in the library in the second semester of his freshman year.
In the spring of 2008, they signed up to teach in Xiangxi, and their relationship was further strengthened in the remote mountainous area.
In her senior year, Zheng Hemiao passed the school recruitment and entered a foreign company in Guangdong, while Lin Shugui decided to go to Donghai to join a 02-level senior.
Lin Shugui and Zheng Hemiao's love relationship basically lasted throughout their college years, and they did not break up peacefully until they graduated.
In June 2010, Lin Shugui personally sent Zheng Hemiao to the station, and when parting, Zheng Hemiao also took the initiative to hug Lin Shugui.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye in 2013, Lin Shugui has already jumped from his senior's company to an Internet company as a department manager, and broke up with his new girlfriend Liu Xueying, who has been dating for a year and a half.
On the one hand, he felt that Liu Xueying was a good choice to get married, but on the other hand, he felt that he could not live with her for the rest of his life.
Over the years, there has always been an unknown black hole in his heart, devouring his feelings of love, making him seem to have lost the ability to love a girl with a fiery heart.
Before you know it, the weather is getting warmer in spring, and cherry blossoms and fluttering flowers come unexpectedly to visit the East China Sea.
Today, Sunday, the weather is sunny and warm.
In the evening, Lin Shugui put on a thin coat and prepared to go for a walk on the Bund alone.
Take the subway to Jinling East Road, and then walk all the way to the Bund.
When I passed through an intersection and waited for the traffic light, I suddenly saw a familiar figure standing diagonally opposite, it was Xu Mingyu, who I hadn't seen for many years!
Xu Mingyu also saw Lin Shugui at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other from afar across the crossroads, and their hearts were shaken inexplicably.
At that moment, time and space alternated, and time seemed to rewind to ten years ago.
At the moment when Lin Shugui's heart lake and memory were about to boil, he suddenly saw a tall and handsome young man hand over a cup of milk tea to Xu Mingyu, and then reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulder.
The green light is on, and the crowd is surging.
The handsome boy protected Xu Mingyu to cross the road, and Lin Shugui watched them walk in the direction behind him.
Xu Mingyu snuggled up to her boyfriend and walked forward, looking back at Lin Shugui, her eyes full of scenes of early snow that year.
However, she eventually withdrew her gaze and disappeared into the crowd with her boyfriend.
Lin Shugui also turned his head, only to feel that the black hole in his heart suddenly expanded, occupying his entire heart.
He strolled to the Bund with a blank expression, and when night fell and the Oriental Pearl was lit up, he stopped and looked up at the colorful TV tower with coordinate meaning, in a daze.
"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me, we were still the same, with a stranger......"
At this moment, a familiar melody came from among the young people next to him.
The lyrics were so in line with his mood that he thought he was hallucinating.
"Walking through the streets that are gradually familiar, ten years later, we are friends, and we can still greet them, but that kind of tenderness, we can no longer find a reason to hug, and lovers will inevitably become friends in the end......"
In an instant, he seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was instantly crushed by those few lyrics.
Ten years ago, ten years ago...... He and Xu Mingyu met ten years ago.
This song sounds like the tune of "Next Year Today", which was popular not long ago, why did the lyrics suddenly become like this?
Did you deliberately sing it to yourself?
He adjusted his mood slightly, walked over to the young people, and said politely, "Excuse me, what is the name of this song you hear?"
Several young people shook their heads and said, "I don't know, it's the background music of a video uploaded by Yu Shengan, and listening to the melody of the song should be the Chinese version of "Today Next Year". ”
"Thank you. ”
Lin Shugui thanked him, quickly took out his mobile phone, and vaguely heard the young people start to discuss:
"If it's really the Chinese version of "Today Next Year", then it's too godly, this is a fairy song!"
"Yes, I just listened to it once, and I feel like I want to betray "Today Next Year", Yu Sheng'an is really good, I feel that I have reached the edge of the pit. ”
"What are you guys, when I was live streaming for the rest of my life, I took the lead in coaxing him to release the Chinese version, and now I have been shaken. ”
"You guys go and read the comments, everyone is crazy, and in less than half an hour, more than 3,000 comments have been swiped. ”
……
While several people were talking, Lin Shugui had found the video, he put on his headphones and started watching it.
Watching the video, listening to the background music, to "enjoy while crying", the sadness is uncontrollable, and tears burst down.
5 minutes later, he sighed lightly, clicked on the comment, and wrote: "There is such a coincidence in this world, I just met my first girlfriend ten years ago on the street, but the girl who made me miss it and forget it all the time, at this time there was someone else beside me, and the moment of looking at each other seemed to be vicissitudes." Over the years, I really don't know if I'm really affectionate, or if I'm always regretful! Ten years later, I'm finally a passerby. You're swaying in spring, and I'm still covered in old snow. ”
As soon as this message was sent, it was immediately liked, and the number kept increasing, and after a while, a message prompted, there were more than a dozen likes, and after a while, more than a dozen.
And every time he checks the like message, Lin Shugui can't help but listen to songs for a while, watch videos for a while, and hurt his heart for a while.
It's obviously a frequent praise, but it's like some kind of vicious circle.
By 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Shugui's message had received 26,000 likes and became a well-deserved hot comment.
He himself didn't know how many times he watched Yu Sheng'an's video, and finally when he heard the last few lyrics, he suddenly understood something.
"It wasn't until I've been friends with you for many years that I realized that my tears are not shed for you, but for others~~~~~"
He snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and smiled silently at the empty night outside the window.
……
Lujiazui Tianyunge Hotel.
Xu Mingyu lay on the bed after taking a shower and brushed Douyin, and soon brushed up on Yu Sheng'an's video, watched it again, and was inexplicably stunned and touched, feeling that Yu Sheng'an seemed to have mastered the password to the depths of people's hearts.
Clicking on the comment casually, I saw a familiar and long-ago ID:
Luoyang paper is expensive!
That's Lin Shugui's screen name.
Of course, it is also possible that the name is the same, but when she read the content of the review, it was fully confirmed.
She likes her current boyfriend very much, but she has to admit how deep the heartbeat was when she looked at the former boy at the crossroads.
However, it was impossible for them to go back, so they could only dust their memories and move on.
She replied under Lin Shugui's message: "If you can't return to the same destination on different paths, why not put the old snow on your body into a bottle and start the next journey again." ”
……
The book says that happy stories are all similar, and unhappy stories have their own misfortunes.
In this world, there are thousands of sad people like Lin Shugui every day, and people like Xu Mingyu look very happy, but in fact, there are thousands of people who have always hidden stories in their hearts.
Sometimes, when faced with a song, a movie, a video, a novel, or a photo, these people will suddenly have nowhere to hide their inner story, and then they will be overwhelmed, so they will express their feelings to the fullest.
Therefore, in just one night, Yu Sheng'an's video has received more than 30 million plays, 260,000 likes and more than 30,000 comments, of which thousands of messages have been asked for BGM, and the video popularity ranks first on the hot list.
Yu Sheng'an has gained another 3 million fans because of this.
"Enron, Enron, please flop, is this background music the Chinese version of "Today Next Year"? If so, I declare that I am anti-water, and I beg to release a single as soon as possible, and it will be !! to charge."
"Ten thousand blood books begging for An Ran's little brother to release a background music single! Winding Liang is still GuGu music, as long as you say it, I will charge the money immediately!"
"I hope to release the right side of the single safely!"
"During Enron's live broadcast, I objected to the Chinese version, and now I declare that my objection is invalid!"
……
Donghai, Jingyi District, a high-end apartment.
Mu Yushi watched Yu Sheng'an's video, brushing everyone's comments, and the whole person was completely confused.
Although Yu Shengan did not say it explicitly, she can confirm that the background music of this video is the Chinese version of "Next Year Today".
She originally thought that the Chinese version was just a mediocre work that I rubbed my own popularity, but I never expected that it would be such a masterpiece that aroused everyone's general resonance and explosive temperament.
Even when she listened to it for the first time, she couldn't help but recall her first love in her school days, and the few exes she had made a good impression on her later relationships.
Although she did not shed tears, the touch, the sentimentality, the sigh were very real and irrepressible.
In order to further confirm the professionalism of this song, half an hour ago, she specially sent this video to Mr. Lin Guanzhi, the music producer of Tiantian Cat, for comments.
The response given by the other party was:
"If "Next Year Today" is four twos, then this Chinese version is Wang Bang, and in the foreseeable future, this song will resound on both sides of the river. ”
"My previous judgment was wrong, and I underestimated Yu Sheng'an. ”
20 minutes ago, the relevant staff of Huanliang Music and GuGu Music called one after another, asking to talk about the exclusive authorization of this song, and they all gave attractive conditions that only first-line singers can have.
Mu Yushi could only reply that she had to communicate with Yu Sheng'an first, and then reply when there were results.
However, Mu Yushi has not contacted Yu Sheng'an until now, mainly because he is embarrassed.
Lin Guanzhi said that she underestimated Yu Sheng'an, why didn't she?
"How do you open this mouth, Mu Yushi?"
Mu Yushi was talking to himself while his face was full of distress and threw himself on the bed.
