153. The essence of pretending
The door of the music collection was opened in full view of everyone.
For a moment, Qin Yunchu felt a dark and majestic power coming from inside, but then, with the soft sound of "Zeng Zeng", the high-brightness ceiling light with a large number of lamp beads in the room lit up, illuminating the entire room.
In the room, everything is in plain sight.
It is said to be unobstructed, but in fact there is nothing - the whole room is bare, except for a trackpad display standing in the middle.
"Hurriedly, Xu Xiangxiao really opened it, why did she know the password?"
"What the hell is going on? I'm completely engaged in lake painting, isn't this Chi Qi to Jiang Xinhai? β
"Silly! Doesn't this mean that Chi Qi and Xu Xiangxiao know each other? Late ruler is the end of the world! β
"Didn't you say that Chi Qi can't be the end of the world? How is it possible for one person to make so many songs in 3 years? β
β¦β¦
The chaos of the barrage is the same as everyone's hearts at this time.
Especially Yan Yunzhuo, her mouth was so wide that she couldn't close it.
Yingzi was not as calm as her apprentice, but she was not much better.
She couldn't comprehend what was happening, and at first thought it was just a prank.
After accepting the information that "Xu Xiangxiao opened the music private collection", her first reaction was: she may have been tricked by the program team.
The program team deliberately threw out the same mentally retarded issue as "Chi Qi and Tianya are the same person", and deliberately seduced all of them to jump into the sleeve.
Wait until everyone is fooled, and then reveal the truth and tell everyone that they have been brushed.
Thinking of this, Yingzi showed a contemptuous expression.
She smiled coldly, crossed her arms, and took the lead in moving her legs into this so-called music private collection.
"I'd like to see what else you can do for me."
When she passed by Xu Xiangxiao's side, she said this sentence, which made Xu Xiangxiao stunned.
Then, Xu Xiangxiao looked back at Jiang Xinhai and grabbed her arm.
"Kokomi, you and I...... Let's go in together. β
Before Jiang Xinhai could figure out what was going on, he was dragged in.
The crowd walked in in a row, with the camera at the end.
The big brother of photography held the camera very well and took a circle around the entire music private museum, and the whole picture of the whole room was revealed to everyone.
It is a three-storey building with a circular interior with a cathedral-like vaulted design, surrounded by wooden bookshelves with glass mounted on them, and the glass is frosted so that it is difficult to see the contents inside.
The videographer pulled the glass doors on the bookshelves with his hands and found that they were all locked and could not be opened.
In front of the door, there was a glass curtain wall, which was pitch black at this time, and I didn't know what it was used for.
There is also a spiral staircase through which the second and third floors can be reached, and from the center of the room, you can see that the second and third floors, like the first floor, are filled with bookshelves of unknown meaning.
Everyone was now gathered around the podium-like touchscreen in the middle of the room, and the camera followed and filmed the object.
I saw a line of words lit up on that screen:
"Welcome to the Music Collection."
"The museum was built in 2018 and houses all of Mr. JX's music and all the musicians he has worked with."
"The purpose of this building is to thank Mr. JX, and all the other great musicians of the world, for their outstanding contribution to healing the souls of mankind."
After reading the three paragraphs on the screen, everyone looked at each other.
Xu Xiangxiao and Jiang Xinhai stood at the forefront, and the two looked at each other at this time.
"Who is Mr. JX?"
"I don't know."
Originally, Jiang Xinhai was still sad that Chen Ya did not give the music collection to herself, but what happened in front of her made her overwhelmed, and she had no time to shed tears.
Xu Xiangxiao said: "It seems that this screen can be pressed, let me click on it and try it?" β
"Try it."
She carefully tapped her finger to the screen, and sure enough, there was a change.
However, it's not that the screen has changed.
Instead, the curtain wall facing everyone suddenly lit up, and black words were printed on a white background, exactly the same as the text content on the middle screen.
Xu Xiangxiao was a little overwhelmed.
"It seems that this place is for exhibitions," Gao Xiaobai said, "Xiangxiao, you can try it again." β
Xu Xiangxiao clicked again, and the words on the touch screen changed together with the text content on the curtain wall-
"The museum is currently in private collection mode and is not open to the public."
"If you want to see all the items in the collection, you need to get the owner permission first."
"Do you want to verify your owner's identity?"
Yes/No
Looking at the two buttons on the screen, Xu Xiangxiao was a little flustered.
"What to do? You have to come to the owner to unlock it. β
Chen Xi said on the side: "Sister Xiangxiao, have you forgotten? You know the password, so you're the owner? β
"But, but, how do you verify it?" Xu Xiangxiao said, "You will take a picture of me and pass it to ...... Pass it to Chi Chi? β
No one knows the answer to this question.
So far, things have gone completely beyond anyone's imagination.
Wang Feng walked around and said, "All the cabinets are locked, and there is no way to open them. β
"Can you smash it open?" Gao Xiaobai shook his fan, "The builders here are not thoughtful, if someone picks up a chair and comes in and smashes all the glass, won't they be able to see the collection?" β
Ranwen
Wang Feng knocked on the glass with his hand and said, "I think it should be difficult to smash open, this seems to be tempered glass." β
The barrage in the live broadcast room floated by:
"Don't be appetizing! I really want to see what's inside. β
"It must be all the works of Chi Qi and Tianya, and you can expect it when you open the door."
"It's so mysterious, it's so complicated."
"Chi Qi was originally a chattering person, and he likes to pretend."
β¦β¦
Xu Xiangxiao looked at Jiang Xinhai a little helplessly, and Jiang Xinhai said sourly: "Click and give it a try." β
There seems to be no other way than to click on it.
She tapped "Yes" with her hand.
New text appeared on the screen again:
[You will need to answer the following questions in turn based on what you know about Mr. JX himself.] γ
You have one chance to make a mistake, but only once. γ
[If you answer incorrectly, the building will go into hibernation, so please leave in an orderly manner and wait for the next attempt.] γ
[You have the opportunity to call for off-site assistance, but you may not get the right answer.] γ
After the text slowly emerged, new text appeared on the screen.
[Question 1: If the ultimate pursuit of life is one of the following options, which one do you think should be for Mr. JX?] γ
[A. Money]
[B. Opposite sex]
[C. Pretending]
ββ¦β¦β
After reading the question, everyone was speechless.
Xu Xiangxiao waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the fourth option to come out, and then realized that there were only these three options.
"Huh? Isn't there an ideal or anything like that? Xu Xiangxiao was surprised, "Why are these three?" β
Jiang Xinhai covered his face: "He probably didn't expect that this answer would be made into a national live broadcast......
Now, Xinhai is very sure that the so-called Mr. JX is Chen Ya.
It's all his style.
His fatal first question was directly embarrassing in front of the national audience, and Jiang Xinhai's toes were about to pierce the floor for Chen Ya.
"Choose B, the opposite sex," Jiang Xinhai whispered, she wanted to get over this question quickly, "This question is answered by B." β
Xu Xiangxiao was a little surprised: "Huh? Is it the opposite sex? β
Qin Yunchu was also speechless for a long time, nodded and said, "Yes." It's the opposite sex. β
The two of them already knew Chen Ya quite well.
What else can a guy who can make a "heartbroken boy take-in group" pursue?
Xu Xiangxiao hesitated for a while and chose B.
As a result, the screen turns red.
[Wrong answer!] You have one more chance to answer. γ
"How so?!" Jiang Xinhai shouted, "It's not the opposite sex, is it money?" Well, he's not short of money anymore......"
Xu Xiangxiao looked at her and said, "Xinhai, I think, it should be C." β
"Why?"
Xu Xiangxiao didn't answer, but directly clicked on option C.
Sure enough, the screen turned green.
[Answer is correct!] γ
Jiang Xinhai's face fell.
The correct answer turned out to be "pretending to be forced".
Yan Yunzhuo laughed out loud.
"Chi Qi is really the same as the one on the Internet, he is a pretending criminal."
Her disgusted expression of "so earthy" resonated with the audience in the live broadcast room.
"I used to think that my ambitions were so noble, but the ultimate pursuit of life was to pretend to be ......"
"Should he be said to be true, or is he a villain?"
"To be honest, this private collection is quite forced. With this money, it is better to use it to improve the lives of the poor. β
β¦β¦
Xu Xiangxiao explained: "No, there was a time, I drank juice with Tianya, and I asked him ......"
After seeing the expression on Jiang Xinhai's face, she hurriedly explained:
"Because I want to protect my throat, we usually don't drink alcohol, and we drink juice together after singing, and then it becomes a regular show......"
After explaining, it was better for Jiang Xinhai not to explain.
Xu Xiangxiao blushed and continued:
"I asked him what the purpose of making music was.
He said that at first, it was because of love, and if the love was too much, he could make some money with his hobby.
I asked again, what happens when you make money?
"He said, take the money to give back to the music, and make the music that he wants to do the most."
"And then? What if all the music you wanted to make was done? β
"Then it's just a matter of pretending."
"Pretending?"
"Pretending to be forced is a kind of attitude towards life," Chen Ya said, "It is difficult for human beings to understand each other, you know?" β
"Huh?" Xu Xiangxiao felt that he was violent as soon as he spoke.
"No matter how good you are at music, in the face of a person who has no artistic cells, all music is gongs and drums for him, you say you are doing art, and he says you want to sing it at the funeral, he will never be able to understand people like us, understand?"
"Uh......" Xu Xiangxiao found it hard to believe that there was really that kind of person.
But it is true that some people often say that she sings and speaks clearly, and even many media say so.
So she can understand what Chen Ya means.
"So, at this time, you have to pretend to be forced," Chen Ya said, "in the face of that kind of person, he can't understand the beauty of the music itself, but he can understand how much money you make, and if you drive a Maybach in front of him, he will be respectful to you, even if he doesn't like your music at all."
"He can also understand that your music is on the charts, and the people next door who are much richer than him like your songs.
"The language of art can't move people, but pretending to be forced can move people, you know what I mean, right?"
"I don't really understand, but I seem to understand a little." Xu Xiangxiao said.
"This is the essence of pretending," Chen Ya said, "Pretending to be coerced is to use a drastic means to let others deeply understand you...... Got it? β
Xu Xiangxiao didn't understand it at all.
β¦β¦ After speaking, everyone, like Xu Xiangxiao, didn't understand what it meant, but they felt very powerful.
Yingzi sneered and said, "Pretending to be forced is pretending, and no matter how much you talk about it, you are pretending." β
Jiang Xinhai glanced at her, she wanted to say, aren't you pretending to be too much. But in the end, it was not spoken.
On the touchscreen, the text changes again, and finally a line of text emerges:
[Congratulations, unlocking the new Dianxue area!] γ
Xu Xiangxiao clicked, and the screen changed again.
This time, it is no longer a monotonous text, but a colorful picture.
On the screen, there is a beam of sunlight passing through a prism.
Under the refraction, that sunlight turned into a rainbow.
Then, a line of handwritten English appeared below:
βPink Floydγβ
Xu Xiangxiao was stunned: "What does this mean?" β
Jiang Xinhai stared at the picture and said, "Like a poster? β
Gao Xiaobai put away the fan, and suddenly said loudly: "Pink Floyund!" β
The crowd looked back at him.
"It's the name of the band, Pink Floyund," Gao said, "and this is the poster of their band!" β
His expression looked a little agitated.
"This was once the most famous band in Britain, the outstanding representative of avant-garde rock, psychedelic rock...... Pretty awesome all in all. Gao Xiaobai said so much that his saliva squirted.
After speaking, he came back to his senses: "That's it, how can there be a poster of Pink Floynd here?" β
Xu Xiangxiao turned around and said, "The songs here are all ...... JX's creation, that means he's worked with this band? β
"How is that possible?" Gao Xiaobai immediately denied, "Do you know what period this band is?" They have been popular for half a century, and they are a temple rock band! β
Yan Yunzhuo frowned: "Is it so powerful?" How come you've never heard of it? β
Gao Xiaobai wiped the sweat on his head, smiled and said, "It's not very popular in China. β
Yingzi said lazily: "Rock and roll is just yelling, nothing good to hear." β
Cui Dayou suddenly spoke:
"Pink Floyd was a band I used to listen to a lot when I was a kid."
"I took a lot of inspiration from their songs. In the early days when I was writing songs, I also absorbed and transformed their style. β
After he finished speaking, Yingzi opened her mouth, but finally did not speak.
Yan Yunzhuo frowned and said, "Why are you putting this poster?" Is the end of the world late? β
She reached out and tapped on the screen.
Subsequently, another picture appeared on the screen.
This is a photograph of an old man with white hair sitting on a sofa, smiling at the camera.
And next to him, a Chinese man, wearing sunglasses, with his hands to his mouth, crossed Erlang's legs, nestled in another sofa.
Underneath the photo, there is a line in English.
Translates to:
To JX:
Your song made up for the band's last shortcoming after I left.
Bless you, but I'm even happier that you're coming home soon.
I hope you don't come again. The greatest spoiler.
