Chapter 259: Sometimes Friends Are Relationships That Take Advantage of Each Other
Before leaving the office, Fujihiko took a look at the mirror fixed to the wall.
Is his beard ugly?
What kind of aesthetic is that girl?
This kind of mustache is in vogue at the moment, and he has grown it for a long time, and he has refined it many times to maintain such a perfect shape, without a single stray hair.
He took the score to the field of Baiyue Gate to find Xiao Dongrong.
Xiao Dongrong and his friend Peng Le were laughing in the VIP seat.
The two of them have a lot of musical attainments, but now they are not talking about music.
Peng Le patronized Baiyuemen for the first time, he tried his best to be strong and calm, but he couldn't hide the excitement and novelty flashing in his eyes, his eyes wandered around, and from time to time he would show a fascinated expression, and he would also say a few words of envy to Xiao Dongrong, who often came to Baiyuemen.
Peng Le's family background is not as superior as Xiao Dongrong, who was born in a musical family, he does not have unique material conditions, but with his own efforts and natural attainments in music, he was named "musical genius" by the music world.
Xiao Dongrong also recognized Peng Le's talent in music, and he also thought that if he didn't have a good background, he was afraid that he would not be included in the "Four Talents" of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and his position was most likely to belong to Peng Le
Seeing Fuji Yantang coming with a smile, Xiao Dongrong got up to greet him.
Peng Le was cramped for a while, and then stood up, his eyes swaying back and forth between Xiao Dongrong and Fuji Yantang, looking innocent and harmless like a curious baby, but secretly guessing the identity of the person who came in his heart.
The smile on the other party's face was gentle and gentle, but the pair of very sultry phoenix eyes under the sword eyebrows were as clear as a pool. It is not difficult to feel that he exudes an aura that no one can enter.
Even if someone failed to let Xiao Dongrong, one of the "Four Great Talents", get up to greet him, Peng Le could see at a glance that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Hikodo—"
Hearing Xiao Dongrong call out the other party's name, Peng Le couldn't help but show surprise on his face, the person who came was actually the second master of the vine!
He knew that his identity was balanced with these two people, but there was a trace of unwillingness to this inequality in his heart, and he was still smart and did not choose to follow Xiao Dongrong to call Fuji Yantang by his name.
"Second Master-" Peng Le suppressed the ecstasy and impulse in his heart, but he couldn't control the slight tremor in his voice.
For him, Second Master Fuji is a god-like existence, in the past, he had only heard the other party's name and deeds from others, but he had never had the honor of seeing the second master. See you today. It can be regarded as the realization of one thing he has longed for. When a wish is fulfilled, how can he not be excited!
Peng Le couldn't help but look at Xiao Dongrong, who regarded him as a friend, he knew that Xiao Dongrong had a close relationship with the second master, and he never thought that he would be so good that he could call Fuji Yantang by his name.
Sure enough, is it because they are all "four talents"?
Think about it. Peng Le's heart darkened. Clenched his fists and quietly dispersed the cold emotions in his eyes. When Xiao Dongrong cast his gaze at him. There was nothing unusual in his expression.
In terms of insidiousness and ruthlessness, Peng Le is not as good as the second master of the vine who fought a bloody road in the business field, and his emotions changed and fluctuated slightly. Naturally, he couldn't escape Fujihikodo's keen perception.
Xiao Dongrong introduced the two of them to each other with great interest, "Yantang, this is the friend I told you, Lele, this is the second master of the vine-"
Peng Le was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Xiao Dongrong called Fuji Yantang by his name, but when he introduced him, he said that the other party was "Fuji Second Master", was he showing off to him that his relationship with the Second Master was not ordinary?
He can see that Xiao Dongrong regards him as a friend on the face, but in fact, he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart!
The more Peng Le thought about it, the more he hated Xiao Dongrong.
Fuji Yantang raised the crumpled score in his hand and said to the stunned Peng Le: "Did you compose this song?" ”
Peng Le, who had restrained his mind, couldn't help but be stunned again when he looked at Kamito Hikodo, and his heart twitched violently.
He held back the spasms on his face and replied, "I did it." ”
He didn't seem to be able to hear Fuji Yantang's special skeptical tone when he asked as Xiao Dongrong did.
Fujihiko Tang returned the score to Xiao Dongrong.
Whoever gives it to him, he will give it back.
"A good tune." He made an evaluation with a smile, and never mentioned the similarities between this piece and "Ningxia", which really failed Peng Le's eager gaze.
Xiao Dongrong received the score, and just now he wanted to ask, "Why is it crumpled?" ”
Fujihiko Tang didn't say anything, it can't be said that someone deliberately kneaded it like that and threw it into the trash.
Peng Le will feel unhappy when his own things are wasted, but now is not the time to care about this trivial matter, he is anxious about what kind of attitude Fuji Yantang "Ningxia" plagiarized his songs.
But Fujihiko didn't say anything, and he couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
Now that he's here, he's not going to be gone.
Peng Le gritted his teeth and endured the sense of shame and eagerness, and a smile bloomed on his face that made people not see any clues, "Has the second master asked someone to play my tune?" ”
Fujihiko was noncommittal, and only repeated the evaluation just now: "A very good tune." ”
Peng Le was stunned.
That's it?
Didn't the second master think his music sounded familiar?
Xiao Dongrong said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
Because he felt that he owed Peng Le and recognized his talent in music, Xiao Dongrong took care of him everywhere. They often exchanged a lot of things about music, and Xiao Dongrong found this song called "Insects in a Midsummer Night" in a large number of new songs composed by Peng Le.
At the beginning, he felt that the melody had a very familiar feeling when he looked at the score, and after playing it, he was shocked to realize that the song "Insect Singing in a Midsummer Night" composed by Peng Le was very similar to the new song "Ningxia" that Baiyuemen was a smash hit.
At that time, he was surprised and delighted, and thought that Peng Le was the creator of "Ningxia", but when he asked, he realized that it was not the same thing at all.
There are eighty percent similarities between the two songs, and the style of the music is also the same. But it is not from the same person's handwriting, which is difficult not to make Xiao Dongrong suspect that it is boring.
Then it's a question of who plagiarizes whom.
Peng Le assured Xiao Dongrong that "The Insect Singing in a Midsummer Night" was his original, and the latter believed in him, so he took him to Baiyuemen to ask Fujihiko for an explanation.
At present, Fuji Yantang's attitude towards this is vague and unclear, not only Peng Le is anxious, but Xiao Dongrong is also anxious.
is also a music lover, Xiao Dongrong can empathize with Peng Le's heart at the moment.
Xiao Dongrong holds "Insects in a Midsummer Night" with one hand, and gently smooths the folds on the stave with the other, from this small detail, you can see his serious attitude towards music.
Xiao Dongrong is the eldest young master of the Xiao family. His ancestors worked as court musicians. Influenced by classical music since childhood, even if he drank some foreign ink, the traditional and conservative atmosphere on his body could not completely retreat.
He is also a man of principles and cannot tolerate roosters and dogs. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Peng Le to Baiyuemen to find Fujihikodo.
"Hikodo. Did you get it clear? ”
Fujihiko got "Insects Singing in a Midsummer Night". Listening to Xiao Dongrong's remarks again, he clearly said that he would ask the creator of "Ningxia" to find out.
He didn't reply to Xiao Dongrong immediately, and motioned to him with his eyes not to be impatient. Then he looked at Peng Le, who was in a hurry in his heart, until he stared at the unnatural spasm of the other party's face, then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a tone full of alienation: "May I ask Mr. Peng, when did you make the song "A Midsummer Night", and have you ever played it in public?" ”
Peng Le's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Dongrong, looking like he didn't understand the current situation.
Regarding the answers to these two questions, didn't he explain them to Xiao Dongrong, didn't Xiao Dongrong make it clear to Second Master Teng
When Peng Le's mind was rolling, he heard Fuji Yantang's soft call:
"Mr. Peng?"
The voice is soft and soft, but you can hear the slightest displeasure in the slightly raised tone.
Peng Le withdrew his gaze from Xiao Dongrong, and unexpectedly looked directly at Kamito Hikodo unswervingly, and his head suddenly buzzed, and the alarm bell was loud!
Those dark and deep eyes seem to be able to see through people.
As if something was stuck in his throat, Peng Le suddenly lost the function of speech.
Xiao Dongrong thought that Peng Le didn't speak because he was shocked by the momentum of the second master, so he couldn't wait to speak for him: ""The Insect Song in a Midsummer Night" is Lele's work half a year ago, more than four months ago, he played it once in the western restaurant where he worked, and the response was not very good at that time, so he didn't take it out again to play it publicly. ”
Fujihiko touched his forehead and covered the helplessness between his eyebrows with his hand.
He really shouldn't have suspected that Cilantro had plagiarized Peng Le's "Insects Singing in a Midsummer Night".
Think about it, how is this possible!
More than four months ago, the Lin family brothers and sisters just arrived in Shanghai, and they were almost penniless.
Xiao Dongrong is still saying: "I think the person who gave you the tune of "Ningxia" should have the ability to never forget, and he must have heard Lele play "Insects in a Midsummer Night", so he wrote down this tune - Yantang, this kind of thing has not happened to us."
Xiao Dongrong alluded to the time when their so-called "Four Great Talents" embarrassed themselves in front of a samurai wearing a hat and a ghost face, which was also in Baiyuemen at the time, and the ghost-faced samurai remembered his original tune after listening to it once.
"It's possible." Fuji Yantang denied Xiao Dongrong's affirmation, and the words changed sharply, "If that's the case, what do you want to do?" ”
Want to do it?
Xiao Dongrong was in a hurry to bring someone to bring the score, and he just wanted to prove that his friend's work was plagiarized, but he didn't think so much else.
It was proved that Peng Le was plagiarized, and what happened after that?
Xiao Dongrong can't answer this kind of question for Peng Le, so he can only see what Peng Le has to do.
"Lele, what should I do?" Xiao Dongrong ran out of ideas.
Peng Le buried his head, as if he was thinking deeply.
Before he made a decision, Xiao Dongrong looked earnest and asked Fuji Yantang: "Yantang, can't you find the person who gave you "Ningxia"?" ”
He thought that if he had confronted him face to face, he might have been able to explain the whole thing more clearly.
The smile on the corner of Fujihikodo's lips deepened, and the softness in his eyes was more brilliant than the staggered lights, and he said in an apologetic tone, "Please forgive me for inconvenience in revealing the identity of that mysterious gentleman. ”
"Mr. Mystery" is Fujihikodo's temporary idea. The code name given to the coriander.
If he mentioned coriander, he would easily clarify the matter, but he promised that Cilantro would not make her identity as the creator of "Ningxia" public.
"Mr. Mystery? Mr? Peng Le finally spoke, and said with a smile, "I thought that the person who could make such a sweet style of music was a girl." ”
Fujihiko chuckled, sultry and tight, as if staring at a prey with nowhere to escape, his gaze locked on Peng Le.
Sure enough, Peng Le plagiarized "Ningxia".
Just now, his words were tantamount to not admitting himself.
"Mr. Mystery" may at first glance lead people to think that it is a term for a man.
Peng Le obviously did an in-depth investigation before coming, probably from what source he learned that the first time Baiyuemen of "Ningxia" was sung by a woman, so he subconsciously doubted the gender of "Mr. Mystery".
If Peng Le is really the original. As he said. Wouldn't it be a man who could create such a sweet song?
For the sake of Xiao Dongrong's face, Fuji Yantang did not poke it directly, and tactfully reminded the two of them. "Mr. Peng. Don't you think what you're doing contradicts what you're saying? ”
Peng Le's face turned ugly. The corner of his eyes flickered, and when he saw Xiao Dongrong looking at the music score in his hand, he couldn't help but panic.
The truth that those who have attained the Tao are more helpful. It's not that he doesn't understand. If he loses Xiao Dongrong's help, Peng Le will not be able to achieve his goal.
The more Peng Le was flustered, the more calm he became.
He was in a hurry and found a plausible excuse, "I work in a quiet place, and my boss will ask me to play some new songs that are more quiet to win the hearts of customers, "Insects in a Midsummer Night" is one of them"
Fuji Yantang thought it was really interesting, Peng Le just admitted that the insect song in "Insect Singing in a Midsummer Night" was a quiet tune, and he never mentioned that it was his original song.
Is he afraid that he will find out the truth later and be held responsible, so he is so undirect?
Then didn't Xiao Dongrong, who he secretly instigated to stand up for himself, become a big wrongdoer?
Xiao Dongrong is also really, he is still unaware of being used as a gunman.
Fuji Yantang really wanted to know why Peng Le came, and directly put forward a hypothesis to the latter, "If "Ningxia" plagiarized "Midsummer Night", may I ask Mr. Peng, what do you want to do?" ”
Peng Le's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, as if he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
With a hint of cowardice, he muttered: "I hope that the column of the composer of "Ningxia" can fill in my name, and I want to take this opportunity to recommend myself with a cheeky face, and ask the second master to give me a chance to work in Baiyuemen."
Fuji Yantang knew in his heart that Peng Le just wanted to soar into the sky with the light of "Ningxia".
It's really crazy to want to be red, instead of doing this kind of despicable thing that goes beyond his bottom line, he might as well jump into the pot and cook it like a crab, so it's easier to be red.
Xiao Dongrong didn't seem to expect Peng Le to make such a request to Fuji Yantang.
Such a request seems a bit excessive.
He couldn't help but wonder, is the "Insect Singing in a Midsummer Night" in his hand really Peng Le's original?
"Mr. Peng seems to know very well that the name of the composer column of our popular red song "Ningxia" in Baiyuemen is empty, this kind of thing, even Dongrong you don't know." Fujihikodo smiled lightly and coldly, his face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he changed his personality, and this personality did not know what compassion was. "Mr. Peng, I won't ask you where you learned about the fact that our Baiyuemen has not been announced to the public, if you want to work for me Baiyuemen, please bring your own original songs."
Originally, he wanted to look at Xiao Dongrong's face and try not to embarrass Peng Le. But unexpectedly, Peng Le is a person who knows how to make inches, which makes him a little unbearable.
Hearing this, how could Xiao Dongrong still be kept in the dark. Both sides are his friends, and it is clear who is cheating now.
"Lele" Xiao Dongrong got up angrily and called the music score in his hand to Peng Le's face, the young master who was born in a noble family even had a kind of reserve in his anger, "You disappointed me too much!" ”
Peng Le was annoyed and ashamed, and it was difficult to hold his composure, Huo Ran got up and confronted Xiao Dongrong, his angry voice was full of ridicule and ridicule, "Four talents." Yes? If it weren't for you, would I be where I am now? ”
Playing in that small western restaurant simply couldn't satisfy his ambition, and he wanted to let more people hear his music on a bigger occasion, was this wrong?
But the owner of the western restaurant didn't know the goods, disdained his original songs, and blindly demanded that he play those so-called masterpieces.
In order to make more people recognize him, he sold his talent cheaply and composed music for those big bosses who opened entertainment venues. But what do they know?
They stink of copper, and they only have money in their eyes!
Baiyue Gate is different. Fuji Second Master is different. It's a breeding ground for good music. He is a man who truly understands the value of music.
Under Peng Le's angry gaze, the guilt in Xiao Dongrong's heart spontaneously arose, and he really blamed himself for robbing the position of the "Four Great Talents".
"You know, I've always wanted to work at Baiyuemen," Peng Le had already seen through Xiao Dongrong as just a sanctimonious hypocrite. I have long been disappointed in him to the point of numbness. "With your relationship with the second master. It's not hard for you to arrange a job for me at Baiyuemen. But you never say such things. Xiao Dongrong, don't keep saying that I am your good friend. Put away your pitying gaze, you are just intoxicated by this game of friends, watching me fall and enjoy your sense of superiority! ”
What he needs is not mercy, not sympathy, but a chance to show his talents!
Xiao Dongrong looked embarrassed, he didn't feel angry, he only felt sad, but the sad thing was that he realized that he had done a lot of excessive things to him after listening to Peng Le's accusation.
He was embarrassed, but he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even say "I'm sorry". He couldn't let go of his pride.
Peng Le looked at him embarrassed, sneered and snorted, "Since ancient times, literati have despised each other, and it is not only literati who despise each other, but also peers!" Xiao Dongrong, are you afraid that I will rob you of the position of the 'Four Great Talents'? Although I am reluctant to do this, I am not interested in that position at all. Even if you never really thought I was your good friend, as a friend, I really thought about you, and I didn't rob you of the position of the 'Four Talents' because I didn't want you to be embarrassed and not lose the people in your family! ”
Xiao Dongrong lowered his head, but he had nothing to refute.
Peng Le just wanted to manipulate Xiao Dongrong once, so that Second Master Teng could quickly recognize his talent and get a musician position in Baiyuemen, was his wish extravagant? Shouldn't he take revenge on Xiao Dongrong for playing with him in the past?
Just before Peng Le said a word, Fuji Yantang thought he was the kind of sinister villain who didn't like to talk, but after seeing him break out, he felt that this person was arrogant and a little smart, and it didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined.
The atmosphere between Peng Le and Xiao Dongrong was tense, but Fuji Yantang's face softened and acted as the peacemaker between the two.
"We're all friends, and sometimes friends just use each other, and let the past pass." He won't say what's right or wrong.
Of course, there is something wrong with Peng Le's approach, and Xiao Dongrong is not a friend.
It can be regarded as Peng Le touching Fujihikotang's moldy head. He couldn't copy anyone's tune, so he actually chose to copy the song "Ningxia" from coriander to Fuji Yantang. Fujihiko didn't seal him under the coffin board because of this, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
Fuji Yantang turned to Peng Le and said, "Mr. Peng, if you have a good song in your hand, we can talk about long-term cooperation, but I have to say it first - the song must be your original." ”
Listening to Fuji Yantang say something like that for the first time was polite, Peng Le heard Fuji Yantang say something like that for the second time, and felt the sincerity from it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the second master was willing to give him such an opportunity.
"Second master, thank you, second master!"
Peng Lexi couldn't help but thank Fujihiko Hall again and again.
The two agreed to meet tomorrow.
The second master was full of his words, and after getting his promise, Peng Le felt a lot more at ease, but he was eager to rush home.
Fuji Yantang kept him, "Don't be in such a hurry, it's rare to come to Baiyuemen, don't you know how to play?" ”
Peng Le looked around, especially in the direction of the orchestra.
The corners of his lips turned up, and he smiled confidently at Fujihikodo, "No, I believe that I will become a qualified musician and composer here in the future." ”
Fuji Yantang's eyes were full of admiration, and he liked Peng Le's confidence.
In the past, Baiyuemen needed new songs, and Fuji Yantang licked his face and invited Xiao Dongrong to come out of the mountain, but now there is a music talent who comes uninvited, which is quite in line with his heart.
But whether to reuse this person or not depends on his ability.
Peng Le rushed home urgently, and Xiao Dongrong also left in despair.
Fujihiko Tang still sat on the VIP seat, folded his arms, and said in a loud voice into the air, "Everyone is gone, and you haven't come out yet?" ”
He had already noticed that the girl from the coriander was hiding behind the pillar and eavesdropping.
Everyone is gone, and she doesn't leave, hiding there to eavesdrop on his breathing or overhear him fart?
Coriander Shi Shiran appeared, leaning on the pillar, idle, looking at Fujihiko with a different color in his dark eyes, as if he had only known him the day before.
"Wouldn't it be easier if you confessed to me?"
"Don't you want me to do this, I'm protecting you." Fujihiko looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of veins and soft light.
Cilantro was silent for a moment, then raised her voice and dragged her voice, "Huh-?"
The latter sentence is completely superfluous.
Does she look like the kind of person who needs to be protected by him?
Has this man forgotten how tough she is? (To be continued.) )
