Chapter 65: Biting each other
IU probably didn't see through Jiang Zhican's pseudo-fan, and chatted with him quite enthusiastically for a while, and when it came to his career, he probably didn't believe what he said about the unemployed vagrant, and then pointed to the book in his hand, saying that he had also read this one, and asked him to guess which books he had read by Haruki Murakami.
"Listen to the wind, Norwegian forests."
Jiang Zhican said without thinking, IU's eyes lit up, and he nodded a little excitedly. In fact, it is not difficult to guess, because these three books are in the same vein in Haruki Murakami's collection, and they are the three easiest books written by Murakami in a realistic style. There are no elusive labyrinths, no Kafkaesque metaphors, no bizarre plots in these three books, some are just the stories of lost youth in calm language, some are just the experiences, experiences and feelings of youth - some are just the real scenery that the passengers of the Youth Express see along the way.
Maybe this generalization is biased, after all, the book "South of the Border, West of the Sun" in his hand is about the post-youth era, and it tells the story of "I" meeting my childhood sweetheart twenty years ago in the thirty generations of my youth that have long since passed away. But in the final analysis, this novel can still be classified as a youth (love) novel, and it is a reading material that young people are still happy to reach.
Jiang Zhican and IU discussed these three novels for a while, and when talking about the plain and almost bland sex in the book "No", IU said very seriously that the sex in it is too bitter, not like sex, but like the original sin in the real Christ, a rare pleasure of sex brings punishment and pain that continues until the end of life with his own hands. She didn't like it, and thought that it would be better not to have that experience and live for the rest of her life.
"You know?,Seeing the last hero and Naoko's good friend.,When Reiko, who was nineteen years older than him, did it.,I'm like a thief and secretly watch the cat in the bed.,If it's not enough to see once, watch it a second time.,If you don't understand it, watch it a third time.。 En~ How to say it.,I feel like sex here is a redemption.,Naoko and Reiko are essentially sick people.,In the end, Naoko died.,Reiko finally got out of the sanatorium that had been trapped for many years.,After doing it with the hero, I took the train to live in a new place.。 It seems to be a circle, and I have filled the last gap here, which is very moving. ”
"When you say that, it's like you've forgotten about Midori."
"Midoriko? Hey, Midoriko, I don't really like Midoriko. Although she is a very good girl, she never likes it. There's no contradiction between her and Naoko in the book.,Both of them like the hero.,All contradictions are only in the hero's own heart.,Even Naoko doesn't seem to care that the hero has other girls.,But Midoriko,Midoriko is like a normal girl, right? I want to fall in love, I want to get married, I want each other, it's just you and me... In the end, the hero is not with Midoriko, right? ”
"It's hard to say, it's probably not together."
"That's pretty pitiful.,But it's an escape.,If she marries the hero.,Presumably she won't be happy - the hero.,The hero is not a good person.,Just sleeping with his friends so many girls can't be forgiven.。
"He's still single-minded, isn't he?"
"Zhicanxi, the difference between men and women, is here." IU said with a shallow smile, took a sip of coffee in front of him, talked about tonight's concert, and asked Jiang Zhichan how he felt about watching the concert while eating fried chicken and drinking beer.
"Pretty good, right? There are beautiful girls singing and dancing for you on stage, and there are popular fried chicken and beer to enjoy offstage, and the people around you don't have this special treatment like you, and when I sing on stage, I feel greedy. ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Jiang Zhican said with a slight expression.
"Of course, in order to prepare for the concert, I have never eaten enough, and it is the first time I have seen someone sitting in front of me eating so openly, and the food is still so delicious that I can only rely on drinking water to support me, and on two occasions I almost made the wrong beat and swallowed saliva in a panic!"
IU seemed to have a lot of resentment about this, and stared at Jiang Zhican with a pair of eyes, as if he was going to force him to find a hole to drill down before he would give up. Jiang Zhican coughed embarrassedly, and it was not good to throw Huang Jiazi to shake the pot, so he had to divert the topic and mention something that most IU was interested in.
"IUxi, the last song you sang today, was the song you made up yourself?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"It's very novel and interesting, and there is a kind of magic that you can stay in the amusement park and wander forever."
Jiang Zhican gave a high evaluation, and then gave his own opinions. IU squinted and smiled while listening, and he was not humble, he nodded frequently very calmly, accepted Jiang Zhican's praise in full, and finally asked with some hesitation Do you also know how to arrange? It's very professional.
"Sometimes I need it, so I taught myself a little more." Jiang Zhican told the truth.
"And what do you suggest for the last section of this piece?"
"Do you mean that at the end, 'I like laughing clowns, I like sad clowns', these two lyrics are frequently repeated?"
"Yes, this is it! In fact, this kind of repetitive arrangement is very common, and I have already dealt with it myself, but because there are too many changes in the first half of this song, and the repetition time of the two lyrics is extraordinarily long, I can achieve the satisfaction of the first and second parts of the two lyrics, but in the middle twenty seconds, I have always felt that it is not good enough. When I sang today, I also had the idea of testing it, but as for the result..."
IU didn't go any further, apparently she wasn't happy with the result. Jiang Zhican thought about it for a while and told IU what he thought. He will mention this matter himself, that is, when he listened to it at the concert, he felt that something was wrong, and he had other thoughts in his heart, but it was not good to point it out directly, which would be since IU spoke, he naturally would not hide it, and it could be regarded as a meeting gift to IU.
Listening to his narration and humming, IU's eyes gradually brightened, and then he suddenly put down the coffee in his hand and asked Do you have time? Jiang Zhican nodded, he really didn't matter. Soon after, he followed IU to her studio and helped her arrange the ending of the song "The Clown Is Smiling at Us".
When inspiration comes out of the song, you can often finish the work in one go, and then you look up and find that the sky outside the window has already brightened up at some point. If you are unlucky and encounter a thorny problem, then staying up for two or three nights is a common thing, and no matter how painful and tangled it is, it will not help, you can only rely on time to grind honestly.
IU was lucky, she met Jiang Zhichan, who gave her new inspiration, but she was also unlucky, she met Jiang Zhichan, a guy with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and after the arrangement of the ending part was completed, Jiang Zhichan proposed that the previous tune also needed some fine-tuning to integrate with the new tune at the end.
IU herself actually felt that there was no need to change, but in the end she still failed to hold the line, and was bewitched by Jiang Zhican, and finally changed more and more, and the changes became more and more complicated, and it was not completely completed until eight or nine o'clock the next day, and the reason was only a twenty-second piece of music that was completed at two o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the next day was her holiday, so she didn't have to work hard to run the announcement with two dark circles under her eyes. As for Jiang Zhican, as early as three or four o'clock in the morning, he had nothing to do, and the rest of the work was all undertaken by IU. He woke up from the table he was lying on in a daze, listened to the results of IU's hard work, gave a good word, and helped the tired IU make coffee, and then looked at Iu, intending to discuss something with her.
"Dance music? Well~ I will, what's wrong? IU asked curiously.
"Well, it may be a bit abrupt, but can you teach me?" Jiang Zhican asked sincerely.
"Huh~~~" IU pondered for a while and asked, "Can I charge tuition?" ”
“・・・”
Jiang Zhichan nodded.
IU stretched out his hand, "Ten thousand won, Kang Sahami Da." ”
Jiang Zhican handed out the banknote.
IU shook slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I handed over the apprenticeship, but it's official!" ”
Jiang Zhican felt a sigh in his heart.
"Hello Jiang!"
IU greeted softly and smiled shallowly, just like a summer lotus, blooming in the middle of the night.
