38. "Bright Moon"
"Let me formally introduce myself," the young man sitting behind the table jumped down from the barstool and walked in front of them, curling the corners of his mouth and extending his hand to Gu Shengge with a serious face,
"Hello, I'm Zheng Hengxu, the new music director of Dinghua Media - and your album producer this time. Everyone here calls me Xiyu, and you can call me that, of course, if you are willing to call me Director Zheng, I will be happier...... It hurts, sister, you let go, ......."
was grabbed by Tai Wei's ears and pulled over, Xiao Brother Zheng, who was pretending to be noble and cold just now, broke his skills in an instant, and protected his ears with teary eyes, Xiao Brother Zheng desperately waved his other hand to Gu Shengge,
"You, you, you, come and save me......!
"......" Gu Shengge, who was shocked by the strange painting style in front of him, stared at the young man speechlessly.
Who will sue him, this young man who looks no more than fifteen years old, a head lower than him, and is being pulled by Sister V at the moment and calling for help to herself with tears in her eyes, is the young man really the cold musician who wants to tailor an album for him?
And he's the fox's younger brother.
Gu Shengge silently looked at the phoenix eyes that were extremely similar to the young man's and the man, and made up for Zheng Hengzhao's appearance of being begged for mercy by Sister V's ears, and couldn't help laughing.
"Zheng Hengxu, you are really out of breath," vigorously tugging at the young man's fleshy earlobe, Tai Wei shook off his hand and nodded his forehead vigorously, "You don't study management in the UK, what kind of director did you come to Hong Kong...... I've only been gone for a few days, and you're so restless, and neither can your brother tolerate you!" She took out her mobile phone and was about to dial, "I'm going to call your dad and tell him what the hell are you doing, and he will blame me as a teacher when the time comes-"
"Don't, don't!" snatched Tai Wei's mobile phone in horror and turned it off directly, Zheng Hengxu hid the phone behind him and turned around to squeeze out a smile at Tai Wei's flattery, "Sister V, Teacher Tai Wei! Why are you doing this...... It was my brother who asked me to come! He agreed, I don't believe you to ask! I'm the recording editor he specially invited!" Unable to hide his smug head, Zheng Hengxu walked up to Gu Shengge on the side, and looked at him with bright eyes, "You are Gu Shengge, right?"
Seeing Gu Shengge nodding with a smile on his face, Zheng Hengxu became more and more excited, "I heard my brother mention you! I also watched the broadcast of the last press conference, and your harmony at that time was so cool!"
Seeing that the young man in front of him was so excited that he was almost dancing, Gu Shengge couldn't help but smile even more, "I know that you are in charge of this EP, and I will work hard for you when the time comes." ”
"Don't worry about leaving it to me!I'll definitely help you do a great job!" patted his chest and slapped the package ticket, in Tai Wei's depressed eyes, Zheng Hengxu pulled Gu Shengge and quickly started working, "I've listened to all your songs, and they're all great, but I still have to think about which ones to use." So, now we're going to the studio, and we're going to change the ...... as we record."
followed Zheng Hengxu into the recording studio, and Gu Shengge found that Zheng Hengxu's expression instantly became stern. After revising a few songs, Gu Shengge couldn't help but be a little amazed. The childish teenager in front of him may not be mature enough, but his sharpness and sensitivity in musical sense are almost unmatched. Creation is a very improvisational thing, and many people are in the mood for creation, and they are not aware of the slightest flaws in their works. And Zheng Hengxu's storage zài cleverly solves this point. Whenever he noticed the hardness or obscurity in the melody that was not easy to find, he would press the pause and discuss the revision with Gu Shengge. Even Gu Shengge had to be impressed after a few tunes, just revising the main melody was already so rigorous, if it was arranged by this young man himself in the future, I don't know how pleasant and exquisite the melody would be.
After nearly four hours of discussion, the two of them, who were sometimes expressing their opinions in the studio, became more and more agreeable, and Tyvi came to urge them several times, but they were reluctant to end. In the end, Zheng Hengzhao called and said that he would go to the orphanage in the evening to condole, and asked Gu Shengge not to delay the trip. Under Tai Wei's repeated urging, the two reluctantly made an appointment for the next discussion, and Gu Shengge reluctantly walked out of the door of Dinghua.
It wasn't until he got into the car that Gu Shengge felt the soreness in his neck and shoulders, and his throat was a little hoarse for a while. Rolling her eyes and handing over a bottle of warm water, Tai Wei couldn't help but whisper, "You guys who make music are crazy...... Four hours! It's a shame that you're not tired—"
Seeing Gu Shengge take the warm water and smile contentedly, Tai Wei sighed silently. Turning back to sit back in the co-pilot, she turned her head sideways and told the driver,
"Go to the nearby shopping mall to buy something first, pick the road that is not blocked, the sooner the better......"
After looking at the scenery passing by the window for a while, Gu Shengge leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes tiredly. Zheng Hengzhao's voice echoed in his ears on the phone just now, thinking of the destination of the meeting, Gu Shengge silently clenched his fingers-
Orphanage......
With his eyes closed, the young man slowly frowned. Memories that had long been sealed in ashes slowly unfolded, rapidly encroaching on his senses.
In the darkness in front of me, it was as if the voices of children were filled together.
"You're just a wild child that no one wants!"
Gu Shengge suddenly opened his eyes.
The bustling scenery outside the window is still rapidly receding.
Gu Shengge lowered his eyes silently.
Tai Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to inadvertently adjust the rearview mirror in the car.
Seeing the young man's expression clearly, Tyvi silently looked away.
She looked out the window at the bright lights, her eyes darkening.
Zheng Hengzhao sits by the flower bed in front of the orphanage.
A few hours ago, he arrived in a hurry with his assistant and signed a huge grant in this remote and old orphanage.
The children in the classroom didn't know what was going on, they looked up at their aunt in ignorance, holding Zheng Hengzhao's hands, wiping tears and thanking them, and then took out the only two oranges from the drawer and stuffed them into the man's hands.
Zheng Hengzhao did not answer. He noticed that the children around him were staring at the two shriveled oranges, swallowing hard.
Refusing the dean's send-off, Zheng Hengzhao walked out of the orphanage in silence. His steps were slow, as if he had been held back by a weight.
Looking at the back of the assistant leaving with the contract, he took out his phone and called Tai Wei. The words he wanted to command went around in his throat and couldn't open his mouth, and in the end he only said one sentence-
"Buy more fruit and toys and bring them over. ”
Then he sat in a suit and leather by the flower bed outside the orphanage, and was stunned for hours.
It was getting dark, and there were car lights from far and near that hurt Zheng Hengzhao's eyes, and he looked up, only to find that it was Gu Shengge and they had arrived.
Gu Shengge, who stepped out of the car, carried the light on his back, and Zheng Hengzhao, who was standing in the distance, couldn't see his expression clearly. The strange thing was that seeing the figure of the man walking over with his head bowed in the dark, Zheng Hengzhao actually felt as if he had been pricked by something in his heart - not deep, but with a faint pain.
Tai Wei took a few assistants to unload the big bags and small bags of things from the car in turn, and told the assistants to take the things, Tai Wei looked at Zheng Hengzhao who was standing there silently in the distance, and her eyes were a little complicated for a while.
Walking briskly over in high heels, Tai Wei pulled the man aside and said with some hesitation,
"Contract...... All taken care of?"
"Already sent back. With a somewhat sluggish opening, Zheng Hengzhao silently looked at Gu Shengge with an obscure expression in the distance, "...... Is he okay?"
"What do you say?" Tyvi gave the man an angry look, and Tyvi spoke in an unkind tone, "He is a sensitive child, you know that he has such a background, and you still want to choose such a place-"
Sighing faintly, she turned around and motioned for the assistant to carry the things over, then turned her head to Zheng Hengzhao, who was silent on the side, and added, "Okay, since you're here, let's go in quickly." He sang and changed with Hengxu all afternoon today, so hurry up and let him go back to rest......"
Poked Zheng Hengzhao's arm, Tai Wei gestured in the direction of Gu Shengge, "You should also go over and talk to him, such a place...... Let him alone, I'm afraid he will feel even more uncomfortable......"
As soon as Tai Wei's voice fell, he took the assistant to take the lead in carrying a large bag and a small bag, leaving Zheng Hengzhao and Gu Shengge, who was left behind, standing in place silently.
Lifting his spirit and walking to Gu Shengge's side, Zheng Hengzhao reached out and rubbed the top of the young man's hair as usual, "Go in, the children here are very lonely, if you teach them to sing, they will definitely like it." ”
The originally stiff expression gradually softened, Gu Shengge gently raised the corners of his lips, as if thinking of something, he turned his head sideways to look at Zheng Hengzhao on the side, his clear eyes seemed to flow with a moist light under the moonlight,
"Heng Zhao," he whispered, his usual calm and gentle voice tinged with some uncertainty, "We're here for no other purpose, are we?......"
In the dark, the smile on the corner of Zheng Hengzhao's lips stiffened for a moment. Sighing silently, he forcibly suppressed the blockage in his heart, and bent his eyes to caress Gu Shengge's forehead,
"Yes, don't think about it, stay with them. We are so good-natured, the children must like you. ”
As if he had put down his worries in an instant, Gu Shengge smiled from the bottom of his heart. Quickening his pace to catch up with the assistant in front, Gu Shengge took a shopping bag full of fruits, and walked towards the old building with soft eyes.
Zheng Hengzhao outlined the back of the young man with his eyes in the dark, tall and bright, as if even the back was written as relieved - he pursed the corners of his lips inexplicably bitterly, Zheng Hengzhao looked down at his figure stretched by the moonlight, and the guilt in his eyes was deeply hidden in the darkness.
The children's cheers of surprise and Gu Shengge's hearty laughter came from the courtyard, Zheng Hengzhao turned to look at the white moonlight, and stood alone in the dark for a long time.
