CHAPTER XXIV

Xiao Yi only needs to write two songs, one is "The Wind Drifts" and the other is "The Leftover Boys", both of which are Lu Zhou's character songs.

Du Mei didn't seem to believe that Xiao Yi could write any good songs, in fact, even Xiao Yi himself didn't believe it. Since his freshman year, he has not created anything decent, the only song "Nianhua", that is, the song that he will remember after so many years with the Duma, the first song that comes to mind on a snowy day, is only the result of young frivolity and instantaneous inspiration.

But their bands sang in Lijiang, in Kaili, in Houhai, and in many places, but they didn't sing this song well.

Xiao Yi felt that he could no longer write songs, and this feeling made him very panicked and distressed. He knew that Lu Dao must have been recommended by Lu Zhou to Du Mei, Lu Zhou was promoting him, caring about him, and it was unconditional, using Lu Zhou's own unique way.

At the end of the floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows here face the best scenery outside, and no one usually uses them, only Xiao Yi himself, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows. He was full of guilt and gratitude to Lu Zhou, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his high expectations, such a burden was almost too much for Xiao Yi to bear as a novice.

He was silent for a moment, both sad and sweet, and thought about it, since Lu Zhou said so, it was regarded as a song written for his idol, come on, I accept the challenge.

He sorted out the knowledge of music creation that had been forgotten for many years in his mind, and carefully went through the script, these two songs must be in line with the respective styles of the two dramas...... in "The Leftover Boy Era", Lu Zhou's role is a serious and down-to-earth little man like Xiao Yi who lost himself in the city.

He is confused, poor, tired to live and die, drifting north for many years, but has not started a family, he is looking forward to a love, but the object of love is so unattainable......

The first day passed, Xiao Yi was still reading the script, pondering the role played by Lu Zhou.

He muttered a few words from time to time, walked over to the piano, and played a few notes, the sound of which was especially harsh in the empty room.

On the second and third days, Xiao Yi wrote and rewrote, rewritten, exhausted, and always felt that something was wrong. He changed the song and began to think about the character song of "The Wind Drifting", and sometimes went on the Internet without a clue.

Xiao Yi was going crazy, he was afraid of disappointing Lu Zhou, but the more he was afraid of disappointing him, the more he was bound and couldn't think of anything.

"Ahhh

"I can't do ......it," Mr. Xiao said, feeling like he was about to cry.

Xiao Yi was like a weaker rabbit, lying on the table.

Another day passed, Xiao Yi felt that something was wrong, he didn't want to write a song, he just wanted to talk to Lu Zhou, even if he scolded a few words, he would be in a better mood.

He thought about it, at half past nine in the night, he didn't know if Lu Zhou had slept, he must have been very tired from filming, and he slept when he went back, and even Lu Zhou didn't care about him at all. Xiao Yi looked at Lu Zhou's name on the mobile phone number and wanted to call him, but he couldn't press it for a long time, Lu Zhou was not there, as if something was missing, and the whole world had become different.

He desperately wanted to do something for Lu Zhou, but when he finally arrived at this time, he found that he couldn't do anything, he was very depressed, just like he used to fall in love, he didn't want to complete this task quickly all the time.

These days, he can't do anything, he is lonely all day long, eating and sleeping thinking about Lu Zhou and his songs.

[Sleeping? Lu Zhou's WeChat was sent.

Xiao Yi was overjoyed and replied: [No. 】

Lu Zhou seemed to be afraid of disturbing Xiao Yi, so he didn't call.

Lu Zhou: [Finished writing? 】

Xiao Yi: [It's coming, I won't let you down.] 】

Lu Zhou: [If it doesn't work, I'll come back first, anyway, I'll shoot for a few months, and I'll write when I have inspiration.] 】

Xiao Yi is sad and depressed, he is going to die, what should he do? Xiao Yi almost wanted to cry without tears, he relied on Lu Zhou too much, is it because I am a waste?

Xiao Yi couldn't sit down like this alone anymore, otherwise he would be driven crazy by himself sooner or later.

He pondered for a long time, and finally dialed the Duma and asked, "Are you free?" Drink with me a bar, Duma. ”

The Duma said, "Okay, where? How have you been? ”

"It's terrible." Xiao Yi leaned back in his chair and sighed.

Duma said: "I'll pick you up." ”

"I'm looking for you." Xiao Yi said.

Duma's home is on the top floor of a building in Sanlitun, with a split floor, very modernly decorated, only he lives alone, he poured foreign wine for Xiao Yi in front of the wine cabinet, Xiao Yi sat at the dining table, a mess, and the frivolous breath of spring seemed to make his feelings completely irrepressible.

"Do you love him?" The whole Duma came over.

Xiao Yi: "......"

"You're fine." Xiao Yi said, "Don't play with me." ”

"Suppose you love him." Duma listened to Xiao Yi's depressed complaints, smiled and put the foreign wine in front of him, and said, "Go and brew feelings, and then pour feelings into your works, isn't this what our previous professor said?" ”

"The concubine can't do it!" Xiao Yi said helplessly, "I'm not GAY, although I love him, but that's the fan's love for idols, not that...... That love. ”

Duma said leisurely: "You just pretend that you are GAY, aren't there many of them in your film and television industry?" Why are you still so repulsive, like an antique. ”

Xiao Yi took a sip of wine, thinking about Lu Zhou, he sighed, covered his forehead with his left hand, and massaged his temples with his middle finger and thumb, although he said so, Duma's words were not wrong, ten men and five GAY in the Conservatory of Music, second only to the pomp and circumstance of the Film and Television Academy, when he was in college, everyone was not surprised to like the same sex, and there were many lala.

"Do you remember the dog?" Duma said.

"Hmm." Xiao Yi replied, remembering that the other roommate who lived with him and Duma was the one who had been admitted to a foreign graduate school with the encouragement of Xiao Yi and Duma.

"Dog has always liked you, I guess you don't know what to do." Duma said.

"Huh?!" Xiao Yi almost knocked over the wine, and said in disbelief, "No! ”

Duma said: "You got a girlfriend, he just went abroad, you are too good to us, Ah Dog still has a while, I suspect that you and I have a leg, these things, isn't it very ordinary?" I thought you wouldn't be weird. ”

"For me." Xiao Yi said, "You two are brothers!" No feelings can compare to our feelings, even love...... Well, I'll admit that my relationship with you is better than love, that's too far...... Speaking again. ”

Dumaha laughed and said: "Some people like men, some people like women, you are very good to your brothers, in the past, the girls in the class didn't always joke, saying that you are a sufferer, it can be seen that you are more or less, a little bit of this tendency." ”

Xiao Yi couldn't cry or laugh, his fingers flicked the wine glass around, and Duma said: "For example, you like Lu Zhou now, you surrender to him wholeheartedly, and you are determined to kneel and lick, if you don't marry him, you want to give him a child, OK?" Write a song with this emotion, and you can make it. ”

Xiao Yi put the wine glass heavily on the table, and Duma said, "Do you feel like falling in love?" Recall? ”

Xiao Yi had just ended a love affair, but he didn't expect to brew the feeling of falling in love again, but it was actually to Lu Zhou, although it was ridiculous and thunderous, but he admitted that Duma was right, love, marijuana and sex, and death are the best catalysts for art.

Duma said: "I understand your feelings, admiration, admiration. Lu Zhou has money and status, and he is very good to you...... If you're a girl, you'll fall in love with him right away. ”

Xiao Yi said: "What you don't understand, it's not because he has money, but because he ......"

"Personality." Duma said: "Character, character. It is also feasible to replace it with love. Girls, like boys, don't they just worship him and want to rely on him wholeheartedly? ”

Is it? Xiao Yi thought about it and felt that it seemed like this.

There was a mess of black lines on Xiao Yi's head, and Duma snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and said: "Love is a good medicine for art, try it, I believe you can do it, Rabbit." ”

Duma got up to take a shower, and Xiao Yi was still sitting quietly at the table.

At twelve o'clock, the mobile phone rang again, it was still Lu Zhou's call, Xiao Yi's heart was beating wildly, from being by Lu Zhou's side every day, from the beginning of Lu Zhou's complaints, to then being happy as long as he could be with him every day, and then to their brief separation, Xiao Yi has never missed Lu Zhou so much, as long as he can hear his voice, he feels that everything is full of hope, even if he is scolded, Xiao Yi is happy.

Xiao Yi answered the phone.

Lu Zhou said unceremoniously: "I don't reply to WeChat, you want to fly when your wings are stiff!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiao Yi said busily.

"What else would you say besides being sorry?!" Lu Zhou said angrily, "Where are the people? ”

"In ......" Xiao Yi didn't dare to say that he came to the Duma's house, and said, "In the company." ”

Lu Zhou was silent for a few seconds and said, "Then why don't you reply to the message?" ”

Xiao Yi said: "I fell asleep just now, but I didn't hear it." ”

Lu Zhou said angrily: "Forget it, are you still writing?" ”

Xiao Yi said: "No, but I just had an inspiration and am ready to write." ”

"That doesn't bother you." Lu Zhou said, "Well, happy birthday." ”

Lu Zhou hung up the phone after speaking, Xiao Yi glanced at the calendar, only to find that today was his birthday, Lu Zhou actually remembered! He never said that, he didn't seem to have said it!

"Are you going to a bar?" Duma changed his clothes and went downstairs and asked, "Find you a sister or a handsome guy to open a room with you to relieve the pressure?" ”

XIAO Yi; dβ€”_β€”b convex.

Duma said, "Then I'll go and come back and bring you breakfast." ”

Xiao Yi: "Can I borrow your piano and study for it?" ”

Duma: "Of course. ”

Xiao Yi entered the Duma's study, the room is very large, the Duma likes to read, there is only one mat, a bookshelf, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, outside is the bright night scene outside the 36th floor, today Beijing has a wind, the night sky is clear, and the lights on the ground are flickering.

Xiao Yi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the colorful and busy night outside the window for a long time. As time passed, the world gradually fell asleep, the lights gradually went out, and the outside and inside of the room fell into a distant loneliness.

Like thunder and lightning, the wind and clouds surged, the spark of inspiration burst out in such a silent long night and ignited an uncontrollable thought, the night seemed to appear a gentle Milky Way and starry sky, it was in a tranquil, and the city quietly tolerated each other.

The lights of thousands of homes, the familiar light of the street lamps, the smell of grass at the time of the handover of spring and summer, Lu Zhou, who was carrying a coat and rolling up his sleeves, walked in the community.

Like the flash reflected in the vast sea of music, the humble love, the complex taste, and the desire for love and family are intertwined into a hazy musicality, which is the sound of a private car galloping by, the synaesthesia of the city returning at night to see that there is still a lamp being lit at home waiting for him, it is the bustling world, the endless stream, the never-ending sea of people, the noisy, noisy, firewood, rice, oil and salt and the life of the small citizens are intertwined into a song of reality, which is the person who has passed by countless times and waited at the end of confusion.

All kinds of feelings are like whirlpools, mixed with tastes that no one can say, the world is all kinds of things, about that, the countless chaotic and disorderly memories in Xiao Yi's mind gradually became clear and surfaced. In the middle of the night, when the world is asleep, designers, writers, screenwriters, musicians...... The creators of everything are still thinking, they leave all their inspiration to intuition to sift and judge, because this is the most active moment of dreams, it has been immortal since the appearance of human beings, and after thousands of years of evolution, it is engraved in everyone's genes.

Xiao Yi moved aimlessly with one hand, tilting his head sideways, as if listening to the sound of love tugging at his heartstrings, and as if with sourness, he was thinking about the male masculine lover whose face had been blurred, but turned into a male masculine lover full of security and tenderness in his heart, infecting Xiao Yi's Lu Zhou with his unique personality and charm at all times, like starry light in the long night, everywhere.

He captured Lu Zhou's memories and his breath, slowly stood up, walked to the piano, and pressed his fingers on a certain key, no...... It was another note, and at that moment, Xiao Yi captured a fleeting fragment - Lu Zhou held his hand and looked into his eyes intently and affectionately.

He decisively pressed the key next door, and made a loud sound, which went straight to the depths of his heart, making the entire world tremble, and then, Xiao Yi played a series of sounds, or gentle, or cramped, and the β–‘ part was like a thousand lights on a prosperous night, illuminating countless warm homes, and after the lights fell, everything fell silent, and the music accompanied them on the streets of Beijing.

Xiao Yi wrote down the score, threw it aside, and then closed his eyes, the Lu Zhou in military uniform coincided with Xu Fengxiao. This is his second chapter, and at the end of the first song, the first note of the second song suddenly flashes and the flowing tune springs up.

The next day, the sun rose and the sky outside the window was gray. Duma was so sleepy that he pushed the door in, and Xiao Yi was awakened.

"Shall I see?" Duma said with a smile.

Xiao Yi got up tired with a row of piano key prints on his face, Duma hummed the score, a little surprised, and said, "Please fill in the words?" ”

Xiao Yi brushed his teeth, sat down at the table, ate the breakfast brought back by Duma, and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

"Not bad." "Very good," Duma said. ”

Duma sent Xiao Yi back to the company and went back to sleep, and on Sunday morning, Xiao Yi pushed the door back to the studio, and was stunned.

In front of the computer on the desktop, there is a birthday cake.

Not before I left last night, it's only eight o'clock now, no one in the company has gone to work, and there is only one person who will bring the cake.

Xiao Yi's heart was full of emotion, sat down, ate a bite of cake, and prepared to continue working.

Another day passed, Xiao Yi was half asleep, his spirit was in an extremely unstable state, humming those two songs back and forth, eating a small half of the cake, and his hunger all day was satisfied from the birthday cake, as if it was his spiritual and material double food.

However, in his self-talk, he didn't know how to face Lu Zhou, and the words filled in for him were the same, thousands of words, but he couldn't say it, and finally he whispered: "I guess you can't understand it." ”

Xiao Yi wrote the first word, just like a love poem by a fan to his idol, written in the back, the more he wrote, the more restrained he became, going around and around, he began to gradually understand that he was composing and filling in the lyrics, very tired and tired - just like the heart is angry and let go to Lin Xi, you are the undercurrent hidden in the depths of your heart to Zhang Yadong, that is the release of true feelings, and it is also the melancholy that you have experienced in life, what atmosphere, what musicality, but they are all exaggerated skills.

And the feelings that point directly to people's hearts, writing a song and filling in a word are enough to turn people's hearts out and let the author taste them himself.

Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his work, then smiled and sang.

It's not enough, we have to change it again, let's do it first.

The sweltering weather made him very uncomfortable, he hadn't taken a shower for several days, Xiao Yi missed Lu Zhou very much, wanted to tell him that he had finished writing, wanted to call him, and felt that it would be better to wait for the finished product to come out and then show him.

This night, a thunderstorm suddenly fell in Beijing, and during the day the next day, Xiao Yi sat in a dark room, did not turn on the light, pondered carefully, changed it all day, deleted and changed, and took an electronic dictionary for comparison. In the evening, the rain became heavier and heavier, and everyone in the building left work early. Xiao Yi went downstairs, Lin Yao was still there, Du Mei made an appointment for dinner, Lin Yao saw Xiao Yi, and said with a smile: "Finished writing?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Yi said, "It's not too soon, I'll go to Juhua tomorrow and ask them to contact the band." ”

Lin Yao said: "Can I go home today?" ”

Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's stay for another day, has Brother Zhou been here?" ”

"It's all on set." Lin Yao said.

Xiao Yi glanced at Lu Zhou's schedule, there is a night scene today, it shouldn't be filmed, he went back to the company to write songs, Lin Yao temporarily transferred two assistants to Lu Zhou, Xiao Yi went downstairs to eat, it rained heavily for a day, thunder and lightning rumbled, but Xiao Yi's mood was very good.

He had eaten at a simmering soup restaurant downstairs, and after thinking about it, he didn't dare to call Lu Zhou directly, for fear that he was eating, so he called Lin Yao's assistant. The assistant replied that it was an interior scene at night, and there was still filming, the rain had accumulated very deeply, Xiao Yi had eaten, and when he saw that it was half past eight, it was still thundering outside, and he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a while, and suddenly wanted to go and see Lu Zhou.

Lao Tzu can finally visit the class! Xiao Yi took advantage of the fact that the soup restaurant had not yet closed, so he made a local chicken soup, packed it in the company's thermos bottle, and went out to take a taxi to the set.

The crew of "The Age of Leftover Men" found another residential area that has not yet opened for sale, only their crew is there, and when it comes to a rainy day, they all run away, Xiao Yi got out of the car only a few steps and was drenched in soup, and even worse, there was a power outage, and the crew's engine rumbled violently.

After Lu Zhou finished filming, he happened to rest, and was stunned when he saw Xiao Yi.

"What are you doing here?!" Lu Zhou said, "It's raining so hard outside. ”

"Hehe, I'm here to visit the class, and I'll feed you by the way." Xiao Yi said, "Do you have a supper?" Have you eaten? ”

Lu Zhou was wearing double flip-flops, his trousers were rolled up like a migrant worker, his sleeves were still wet, he motioned for Xiao Yi to sit down, took the thermos and began to gobble it up.

"Didn't you have dinner?" Xiao Yi said, "Why doesn't anyone buy it?" Darn! What about assistants? How can you make you hungry for filming! ”

"It's raining too much." Lu Zhou said, "There is a traffic jam on the road, and the logistics can't come, so everyone waits for nine o'clock to finish filming before having supper." ”

The streets are closed, where is there still supper to eat, the wind in the corridor blows, Xiao Yi was half cold to death, Lu Zhou ate a large can of chicken soup with meat, was full of energy, continued to go up to act, and instructed Xiao Yi before going up: "Wait here, go home later, don't go to the company." ”

Xiao Yi watched Lu Zhou play a scene of mopping the floor, quietly, for fear of waking up the heroine, the heroine was obviously tired after crying, lying on the sofa under the floor lamp, with tears on her face.

Lu Zhou was wearing tank tops and jeans flip-flops, looking like an uncle, wanting to kiss the heroine, but he didn't dare, the feeling of being cautious and afraid of waking her up made people feel both funny and moving, and it didn't seem obscene at all.

Then, Lu Zhou knelt on the ground on his knees and looked at the heroine's sleeping face seriously, and the heroine suddenly opened her eyes and came up.

Lu Zhou didn't let her kiss, and the heroine just made a move, not daring to really take advantage of Lu Zhou, so the director shouted, very good, followed by the scene between the heroine and her best friend, Lu Zhou sat back again, Xiao Yi smiled: "I thought she really kissed." ”

Lu Zhou spit out his tongue, his teeth biting the bone of a chicken wing.

Xiao Yi: "......"

Lu Zhou smiled slyly, Xiao Yi was almost laughed to death by Lu Zhou, it turned out that when the heroine was about to kiss just now, Lu Zhou spit out the chicken bones and signaled that you dare to come? The heroine has a black line.

Lu Zhou was still looking for soup to drink in the thermos, the heroine finished another scene, Lu Zhou went up, the light was dimmed, the two looked at the TV in a daze, the heroine leaned on Lu Zhou's shoulder, Lu Zhou picked her up horizontally, and hugged her in to sleep. The last scene ends.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Yi has been in Beijing for so many years, this is the second time such a crazy rainstorm, the last time it was even flooded under the overpass, this time it is simply the end of the world, thunder and lightning run through the sky over the city, at half past nine in the night, the assistants were sent away, after the crew finished work, Xiao Yi drove, the two were blocked on the road, and the overpass was full of water, but it had not yet reached the point of flooding the roof of the car.

"I can't drive it." Xiao Yi said, "The water is too deep! ”

A row of cars was parked in the water, the water level reached the top edge of the wheels, and Lu Zhou said: "The road ahead is blocked!" ”

There was a thunderous roar, and Xiao Yi said, "What should I do?" ”

"Cold salad!" Lu Zhou said, "Damn, the car is still shaking next door!" ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

There was no car shock next door, just two men hugging and kissing while in the traffic jam, Xiao Yi honked the horn a few times, but he couldn't see it, Lu Zhou said: "Park the car outside the mall and walk back, it's not far away." ”

There are still more than three kilometers away from their home, Xiao Yi parked the car outside a large shopping mall and locked it, and wanted to give Lu Zhou an umbrella, but Lu Zhou held the umbrella first, he was taller than Xiao Yi, and he blocked Xiao Yi when he played the umbrella, and the two of them got out of the car for a while, and they were soaked all over their bodies, and walked across the road in traffic jams towards the opposite side.

"Why didn't you bring an umbrella!" Xiao Yi shouted.

"It's all for the kids!" Lu Zhou yelled at Xiao Yi, "Get in the car when you go out!" Who knew that it was raining so hard! ”

Usually it is easy to walk two or three kilometers, but on a rainy day, it seems that you can't get there, Lu Zhou and Xiao Yi bumped into each other, Lu Zhou simply held his shoulder with one hand, and the two walked against the wall.

Xiao Yi's heart was beating wildly, and Lu Zhou's body was still dripping, obviously embarrassed to get home, his shirt was all soaked, showing the outline of his muscles.

"Brother Zhou!" Xiao Yi said loudly.

"What?!" Lu Zhou glanced at Xiao Yi.

"Did you miss me?" Xiao Yi's voice was a little quieter.

The torrential rain was overwhelming, and the sound of the uproar overshadowed their conversation, Xiao Yi realized that he was a little embarrassed when he spoke, and the sentence was a little smaller, and there was a boom of electric light, completely dismissing the sentence he asked.

Lu Zhou said something again, Xiao Yi said, Lu Zhou roared angrily: "...... Meaningβ€”β€”! ”

Xiao Yi: "??? ”

Lu Zhou dragged him to his side, his lips almost against Xiao Yi's ear, and said, "A little! ”

Xiao Yi laughed, and suddenly a lightning bolt struck a tall building not far away, and in an instant, thunder and lightning appeared at the same time, the scene was extremely magnificent, the lightning rod at the top of the building sucked away the thunder, and within half a second, the surrounding light was as bright as day, and a cracked light reached the night sky.

In an instant, the sound of thunder overwhelmed all their consciousness, as if the sky was falling apart, and the end was coming.

Xiao Yi shouted, Lu Zhou hugged him and flashed, pushed him to the exit of the subway station, and the two hugged him tightly. Lu Zhou's subconscious reaction took less than a second, and Xiao Yi also reflexively hugged Lu Zhou, the thunder just now scared both of them, Lu Zhou's face was full of water, he looked at Xiao Yi panting, and looked back at the building in the distance.

"Damn......" Lu Zhou said, "Lao Tzu is going to be scared out of heart disease." ”

Xiao Yi said: "I thought it was ...... That building is going to fall......"

Xiao Yi leaned on the entrance of the subway station and couldn't breathe, Lu Zhou said: "Take the subway, half of my life has been scared away." ”

Lu Zhou took the umbrella, hair*, they stood in the subway station waiting for the train, there were people everywhere, Lu Zhou was wearing slippers, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and he was dripping water downward, and a girl found Lu Zhou, moved her companions, and signaled to take a look.

"Excuse me......"

Xiao Yi didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "Dear, do you think Lu Zhou will wear ten-yuan slippers to squeeze the subway?" ”

Everyone around laughed, Xiao Yi patted Lu Zhou's shoulder, and the two got into the car, Lu Zhou's hair blocked his forehead, facing the car door, his white shirt was soaked and almost looked at, but he leaned on the railing indifferently, and Xiao Yi looked at each other, and both of them laughed.
