Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 444 Changed Thoughts [4K1]

Those who are able to achieve something on the piano have, without exception, gone through years of hard practice.
——Nagano Rinne was absolutely sure of this.

Because you don’t have enough playing experience, you won’t be able to get some of the insights that can only be gained by playing the piano for a long time.

It’s just like the principles written in books.

I read it a few times when I was young, but I just memorized it verbatim without trying to understand it thoroughly, and I couldn't comprehend it.

Then, after several years, when you have truly experienced some things and have some feelings after summarizing and reviewing them, you will suddenly realize that, oh, the truth you read in a book when you were young is actually true.

At that moment, those words seemed to have crossed the long river of time. The ignorance and incomprehension of my youth finally gave me the answer at a certain moment several years later.

Similarly, composing a piano piece is the same, and even more difficult.

If you want to compose piano music, first of all, you have to be a pianist with a solid foundation. Secondly, you have to have enough musical sense and sensitivity to melody. Thirdly, you have to understand how a piece of music is composed, which requires mastering relevant music theory knowledge.

And these are just the most basic things written in textbooks.

As for the occasional, extremely important flashes of inspiration outside the textbooks, they are not mentioned in the book because they are somewhat cruel.

In the field of composing music, if you have talent and spirituality, then you have talent and spirituality, and vice versa, because that is not something that can be changed through hard work.

Therefore, Nagano Rin did not pay too much attention to what Koyuki said, and just thought that the girl wanted to show off her boyfriend in front of her.

Similar to during the New Year, when the elders let the younger ones show their talents in front of other elders?
But, doesn’t it sound a bit weird to say this?

Nagano Rin was complaining in her heart, but her eyes fell on Watanabe Yu very honestly and observed his movements.

In front of the piano, Watanabe Yuichi first gently stroked the keys and simply tested the sound, just like he did that day.

As the simple and pleasant audition melody sounded, he seemed to enter another state.

Without taking a deep breath or feeling any pressure, he simply started playing.

Coincidentally, Naoko Hayakawa in the recording studio also put down her headphones, pushed the door open and walked out.

She listened to Yuki's version of "First Love" five times!
After listening to it so many times, she was finally convinced that her initial judgment was correct. Yuki had indeed grown visibly.

This girl completely digested what she had accumulated over the past few days and also integrated the experience of singing in the bar.

Yuki now has her own unique style. She is no longer like before, just following the script.

This is a very, very big improvement! It is the beginning of a singer's journey to becoming a singer.

As long as he (she) embarks on this path, he (she) will no longer be labeled as looking like anyone in the future, because he (she) will use practical actions to prove that he (she) is not anyone's shadow, he (she) is himself (herself).

then.

She stopped in excitement and stared blankly at the profile of Watanabe Yuu who was sitting in front of the piano.

The unfamiliar melody coming from the black and white piano keys immediately caught her ears.

Nagano Rinin unconsciously clenched her hands, changed her previous contempt, and listened carefully.

As the melody progressed, she seemed to see snowflakes falling and felt the strong and indescribable complex emotions.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu's back thoughtfully.

The piano lid, which had been wiped clean like a mirror, reflected the boy's face, as well as his expression of immersion in it at the moment.

perhaps……

Am I too empirical?
She thought about it, then shook her head, threw the idea out of her mind, and listened carefully.

The process of self-reflection can be put off until later.

Right now, there are more important things that require her to confirm in person.

After the song ended, the scene suddenly became silent.

"Watanabe!"

After about half a minute of silence, Nagano Rin was the first to come back to her senses.

After listening to the song, she was completely certain that the song was tailor-made for the movie and it didn't even need to be modified and could be used directly.

"Uh, what's wrong, Aunt Nagano?"

Watanabe Yu turned around and looked at Nagano Rin with some confusion.

He saw the excitement in her brows, and also saw that she was trying hard to suppress her joy, but people are like this, when they encounter something truly happy, they can't hide their emotions.

"Have you ever thought about putting this piano piece on the screen?"

Nagano Rin said this without any further ado.

"Eh? I don't quite understand what you mean."

Watanabe Yuu didn't quite get what Nagano Rin wanted to express.

"Oh." Hearing this, Nagano Rin also realized the problem, and then heaved a long sigh of relief and began to explain, "The situation is like this..."

To be honest, she was prepared to stay up late tonight to find inspiration, but sometimes life is like this, there will always be a twist at a certain moment, and then give you a big surprise.

Of course, it could also be a shock.

Just like when I was playing with my phone during self-study class, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the figure through the rear window.

"So what you mean is that I authorize you to play this piece of music, and you give it to the director?"

After hearing the whole story, Watanabe Yu started asking questions.

To be honest, if that were the case, he wouldn't want to do that.

Firstly, he is not short of money now; secondly, he does not want to be the one being "outsourced".

"No, I mean you should provide the theme song for that movie instead of me."

Nagano Rin shook her head. She was not the kind of person who would buy other people's works and then pass them off as her own and sell them to others.

This involves her principles and bottom line.

Furthermore, her pride also made her disdain to engage in such speculative activities.

"Use this piece of music?"

Watanabe Yuu met her gaze.

"Use this piece of music."

Nagano Rin nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

"Thank you Aunt Nagano for your kindness, but I think that Director Yokota chose you because he values ​​your piano skills and your status in the piano world. He would not easily replace you with an unknown little person..."

I’m afraid they won’t agree.

Watanabe Yu did not say the last sentence out loud, but the meaning was conveyed.

No one present is stupid, so there is no need to speak too bluntly about some things.

But from another perspective, what he said was actually quite "straightforward".

"How can you be an unknown little person? Jay is already very famous. Do you know how many people want you to be their spokesperson and sign advertisements?"

Nagano Rin said this without even thinking.

Anyway, as far as she knows, there are many brands that want Watanabe Yu to be their spokesperson, and they all go to the official of the music website, hoping that the other party can help them contact Watanabe, but without exception, they were all rejected.

Some brands thought that 'Jay' was too arrogant, but after looking around and finding that no one had achieved their goals, they let it go.

If no one gets it, it means everyone gets it.

In a sense, this is a good result.

By the way, she learned that the brands that went to Watanabe Yuu reached a consensus after sitting down and talking. That is, the reason Jay did not agree was that the endorsement fee they offered was too little.

Well, it makes people laugh.

"..."

Watanabe Yu fell silent. He didn't know how to answer the other party's question.

"You doesn't like to be in the spotlight. I mean standing in front of the stage as Jay." Yuki Hayakawa saw the embarrassment of Yu Watanabe and answered the question for him, "This will affect his and my normal life."

In order to make Aunt Rinyin believe, she even moved out.

"...That's true."

Nagano Rin was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Everyone thinks it's cool for high school students to debut, because they can get a lot of attention and have a good image in school. But the reality is often the opposite. Once you become famous, your work schedule will be so tight that you can't breathe."

She paused and then continued.

"Because of the terms and conditions they signed, high school idols can't enjoy a normal high school life. Not to mention dating, even going out and participating in activities with the opposite sex of the same age will be restricted."

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that one had no intention of dating in high school.

But the problem is that people tend to have a bit of a rebellious mentality.

When you own something, you will not cherish it or care about it, because you think it is normal to have it, but when one day you lose it, your thoughts will immediately change, and you will feel that you have lost something very important.

In other words, some people, when they are allowed to date, will appear to be quite dismissive of love, thinking that love is just a childish game and is not interesting at all. But once they are restricted from dating, their views on love will be different.

Maybe they will still say the same thing as before, but their actual actions will be to pay more attention to the opposite sex of the same age, especially those with outstanding looks.

"Auntie Linyin, why do you look so familiar?"

Yuki Hayakawa was stunned by what she heard.

It’s not that I was surprised by what Nagano Rin said, but I was mainly curious about what she said in the second half. It was because the feeling of empathy was too strong.

“Because I’ve experienced it.”

Nagano Rin did not make excuses or make false accusations, she simply admitted it openly.

"But my situation was different. My mother restricted me from dating, but I ended up having a crush on a senior at the time. I even thought about confessing my feelings to him after the entrance exam, but... "

She shrugged and her tone became contemptuous.

"The semester hasn't even ended yet, and that sunny and handsome senior has already had eight girlfriends."

To be honest, she was quite impressed by the other party's fickleness.

"Hasn't he been retaliated against?"

Naoko Hayakawa asked with some curiosity.

She knew about this, but never asked the man about what happened next.

"When he graduated from high school, he was called out by a girl he had dated, and that girl scratched his face."

Nagano Rin spread her hands.

"and after?"

"Later, he went to a cosmetic hospital and spent a lot of money to repair the scars as much as possible. Then he went abroad to study. According to everyone in the class, his current wife is not that good-looking, but he is quite loyal."

Speaking of this, Nagano Rin was full of emotion.

There is no such thing as a prodigal son who returns home. It's just that he luckily escaped death when disaster struck. Now he knows the seriousness of the consequences and will not commit the same mistake again.

"That's okay..."

Naoko Hayakawa pursed her lips. She was not very satisfied with the result.

She thought it was the kind of thing where one's nature could not be changed, but was eventually discovered by his current wife and torn into pieces.

"Why do you feel so sorry?"

Nagano Rin made a comment.

"Because it's really a pity. Alas, it would be better if his ending was more dramatic." Hayakawa Naoko pursed her lips and then brought the topic back. "So, if You doesn't want to reveal his identity, do you have any way to convince the director?"

She was afraid that if they talked about the past any longer, they would have to talk until the afternoon.

I haven’t had lunch yet!
"That's easy. I'll be the guarantor."

Nagano Rinone patted her chest, looking like she was saying, "Don't worry about me."

“…Be gentle.”

Naoko Hayakawa glanced at her and reminded her in a low voice.

It's not big to begin with, and it becomes even smaller if you take a closer look.

"Tsk!" Nagano Rin naturally knew what her bestie was talking about. She glared at Hayakawa Naoko unhappily, then continued, "There is also a plan B, which is that Watanabe will suffer a little, that is, an extra line of introduction on the lyrics page, and I will be a mentor or something, which is equivalent to just a name."

She didn't want to take advantage of Watanabe Yu, but Watanabe's concerns were indeed justified.

The reason why director Yokota chose her and paid her such a high salary was because of the two things Watanabe analyzed.

It's just that the music is outstanding, but it might be a little lacking in meaning.

"Can you accept this?"

Naoko Hayakawa turned her head and looked at Yu Watanabe.

She hoped he would accept it.

The reason is simple: more friends, more paths.

Whether it's getting to know the director or helping Nagano Rin, there are only benefits and no harm.

"I……"

"There is another way."

Yuki Hayakawa interrupted Yu Watanabe who was about to speak and said this sentence first.

"any solution?"

Nagano Rin looked at her curiously.

"That's right, Auntie, you said You is your junior apprentice and your teacher's last apprentice."

Yuki Hayakawa blinked.

This is a natural thing to do.

As a senior sister, it is natural for me to care about my junior brother, not to mention that he is the teacher's closed disciple.

"I think you can try it!"

Naoko Hayakawa helped to sing.

So, the three of them all looked at Watanabe Yu.

"Then give it a try."

Watanabe Yu shrugged.

He could tell that Aunt Shangzi had good intentions, so he decided to give it a try. It was just contact after all, and there was no guarantee that it would work.
