Chapter 24: The Edge of Life

Three days later, Zhou Zhenan was still uninspired, and the exhaustion of his body washed over his nerves day and night. The daily dance classes are inadequate, and I can't bear it, so I made the decision to temporarily stop Zhou Zhenan's daily classes, but I can only stop for a few days, because the title song is our must-go city at this stage.

Zhou Zhenan sat in front of the keyboard in a daze, sadly, he was not interested in facing this comrade-in-arms who always made his blood boil in the past. Even if the perfect note is, it has lost its distinction in his ears now.

The bell rang, stabbing his head with a sudden pain. Zhou Zhenan was now disgusted by any sudden sound.

It's his junior high school classmate, and he's still a buddy. Zhou Zhenan took a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone was much happier when he picked it up: "What's wrong." ”

The news brought by the other side was too heavy - the teacher of Zhou Zhenan Junior High School died, lung cancer. The teacher is still very young, and he is still several years away from retirement.

Zhou Zhenan's favorite math teacher, although Zhou Zhenan hates math itself, it does not prevent him from liking this teacher. Every time he went back to City C, Zhou Zhenan would go to see the teacher.

The teacher also likes Zhou Zhenan very much, even if Zhou Zhenan is not good at math and a little naughty, even if Zhou Zhenan only stayed in school for two years and went abroad to be a trainee. When his parents were against Zhou Zhenan's pursuit of music dreams, the teacher encouraged him to pursue his dreams, and when Zhou Zhenan was confused, the teacher would teach him to be born to the sun, and when Zhou Zhenan returned to perform near his hometown, the teacher always refused Zhou Zhenan's ticket and bought the best position at the original price, shouting Zhou Zhenan's name among the crazy fans in the audience. They are teachers and students, but they have surpassed teachers and students. is also a teacher and a friend, and is like a father.

The teacher is an interesting person, and the chalk is smashed accurately. Obviously, people in their thirties still like to hang out with Zhou Zhenan's group of junior high school students, and the jokes are more subtle than quadratic functions. They will say, "You are the worst class of students I have ever led", and they will also turn their heads and show off to the teachers in other classes, "The children in our class won the first place in the school sports meeting again, are you envious?". will avoid the teacher and swallow the clouds, but warn the children not to learn from him. Not tall, slightly chubby, wearing glasses, and a little bald, always smiling.

When Zhou Zhenan returned to City C last month, he went to see him. At that time, I felt that he had lost a lot of weight, but he said with a smile: "I have to lose weight, otherwise it will be so bad for your sister to look at me every day after retirement." He stopped smoking, he still smiled and said, "Smoking is not good, your master still wants me to live a few more years." Just force me to quit. Then he taught Zhou Zhenan with a smile: "Why don't you kid come back for a concert? I'll wait and see." While I'm not retired yet, I can afford a ticket, and hurry up to do it. ”

Zhou Zhenan said at that time that he was okay and was still eating at his house. When leaving, Zhou Zhenan also said that he would come to see him next time. He smiled and nodded. He also encouraged him to work hard and grow towards the sun.

It turns out that this is the last side? Zhou Zhenan fell weakly on the sofa, only to feel that the world was spinning. He thought that he was still young, and he thought that life and death were far away from him, especially when Jiang Ji, who disappeared for no reason, returned to him, he felt even more relieved. I didn't expect the parting to come so suddenly and so quickly. Did the teacher know that he had cancer? You know, she lied to him with a smile and went to class every day with her husband's briefcase. Zhou Zhenan couldn't think of any expression to face this fact, he gasped for breath, like a fish on the shore, hopelessly opening and closing the gills.

When my friend called, he was already at the teacher's memorial service, and it was almost over. Zhou Zhenan wants to buy the kind that the nearest flight can't catch up. What's more, he has now given up thinking. Zhou Zhenan's heartbeat was violent.

Slowly, he calmed down, he couldn't disrupt all of Jiang Yu's work arrangements for his own selfishness, delay everyone's time, the only decision he could make was to return to City C with the day of vacation he was invited. Go and offer him the care that has been lost.

ON APRIL 26, I ACCOMPANIED ZHOU ZHENAN TO THE STUDIO TO RECORD "NEW DAY NEW LIFE".

This is a commonly used recording studio in Zhou Zhennan B City, but this is also the first time he has recorded his new song after returning to China. I have covered other people's repertoire a few times before, so Zhou Zhenan looks a little nervous. He took the medicine again, still pretending to be a vitamin, trying to get his emotions moving, and I could see that he was worried.

Although this album was launched by Shengshi, this is a grand dream that Zhou Zhenan has been preparing since he was in the United States, so he really attaches importance to it, but his current state is obviously not good, but everything is ready, and he has to send it when he is ready to fly.

Bai Baiyan is worthy of being a domestic gold medal producer, and in just a few days, he completed the arrangement and instrumentation, and today he was waiting for us in the recording studio. Since I hadn't been involved in the production of the album, Colin came over to help. He and Bai Baiyan are old friends, and they have a good conversation in the studio.

Bai Jinyan had already met Zhou Zhenan once last time, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with Zhou Zhenan. At least the pleasant appearance gave me a lot of confidence. But I didn't expect Zhou Zhenan to drop the chain. He is really in a bad state today, I can see from his face, his usually cold face is now full of misanthropy. I can't hear how the singing is, it seems to be much the same in the ears of a non-professional like me, but Bai Baiyan interrupted Zhou Zhenan again and again and asked him to re-record it.

By the time Zhou Zhenan had been in the recording studio for four hours, Bai Jinyan's expression didn't look good. Zhou Zhenan is even more annoyed, even I, a complete layman, will feel bored after listening to the same song for four hours in a row, not to mention that the recording is not a single loop in the traditional sense, Zhou Zhenan often sings the same sentence over and over again, and his unmodified voice from the monitor headphones is very different from usual, and the intuitive experience is not so good.

Bai Jinyan saw that Zhou Zhenan was not in his mood, and he had been encouraging him quite gently, but this did not seem to alleviate Zhou Zhenan's situation. I don't have much to do, and as a musical layman, I only have throat-soothing drinks and lozenges for him all the time.

"Zhenan, let's stop here today," six hours is the limit in every sense of the word, Bai Jinyan shouted, "Your voice will not be able to stand it." ”

Zhou Zhenan frowned: "Teacher, it's not enough. ”

Bai Jinyan raised his hand to stop Zhou Zhenan's speech, and said very bluntly: "You are not in a good mood today, you can't sing this song with longing today, I hope you go back to adjust your emotions first, and we will make an appointment next time." This means that the cost of six hours and Bai Baiyan, Kelin, Zhou Zhenan and all the staff have done half a day's useless work.

Zhou Zhenan didn't say anything more, and his voice was indeed dumb. I fed him the lozenges and sent him home, and he was depressed and speechless all the way.
