People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

His eyes were still fixed on the store manager Xingge. After a moment of silence, Qing Mujie smiled and then spoke.

"I practiced so hard because I wanted to improve that I didn't get enough rest. I didn't want to disappoint my friends in the band, so I sacrificed sleep to play with them over and over again."

"I've wondered before if it's too early for them to bear this kind of pressure, but I still haven't figured it out."

“But public opinion is different.”

"Maybe it's because of me, maybe it's because of the capital, maybe it's because of that unknown band Ghost Elements..."

"Even if there are rumors online like 'Aokisuke is a music thief who deceived the whole world,' I don't care, but these public opinions... shouldn't be related to them who ended the band."

"It was my idea to make the band professional, and the consequences shouldn't be borne by others. Similarly, I would hesitate to bear the pressure of overexerting myself from practice, but the so-called 'pressure' caused by public opinion right now shouldn't be borne by them in the first place."

"Isn't it too early to be under pressure?"

"so......"

After a long speech, he paused for a moment, and then Aokisuke added the last sentence.

"Manager Ijichi, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"..."

Is it really okay if all the pressure is placed on one person?

Yidizhi Xingge didn't know the answer, and at this moment, she really didn't know how to respond.

---------------Dividing line---------------

P.S.: I suspect that because I posted a side chapter, everyone thought I was going to end the book. I lost a lot of favorites yesterday. Maybe that's why...

Chapter 99 Prepare to fight back!

I had a set meal at a restaurant for dinner.

Aokisuke was not slow in eating. He finished a dish that just suited his taste in less than ten minutes.

After dinner at 5:50, I walked back to the livehouse.

When we walked back, Kita had already arrived.

At six o'clock, I started teaching Kita Ikuyo how to pronounce songs when singing, and briefly talked about some guitar techniques.

The two of them still didn't communicate much. Apart from the necessary words during teaching, there was almost no extra conversation.

Kita's progress is obvious. His singing skills have improved rapidly. Although his guitar skills have improved a little slower than his singing skills, he has also been making continuous progress.

The tutoring didn't end until around eight o'clock.

He told Kita Ikuyo to go back and have a good rest and sent her off.

Aokisuke didn't rush back to the apartment. He helped clean the livehouse for a while before leaving.

I took the tram to my rented apartment.

At this time of year, most of the people riding the train are office workers who have just gotten off work. Aoki Jie, a high school student, feels a bit out of place among them.

The carriage was not too crowded, so he found a seat and sat down. After a while of jolting on the tram, he suddenly remembered that he had not paid attention to the direction of public opinion all day, and wondered what the current comments on the Internet were like.

But because his cell phone was in his pocket and he was still on the train, Aokisuke didn't rush to check his cell phone on the train.

The distance from the livehouse to the apartment he rented was not too far, and it took no more than ten minutes to reach the station. Aoki Jie returned to his apartment, which was not very cozy but definitely small.

After tidying up the room briefly and sitting on the stool, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Aokiji had a slight expectation in his heart——

The various rumors and gossips about the girls who had left the band and herself were definitely more than double what they were yesterday.

Ghost Elements' personal appearance, the expert influence of various media outlets, netizens' herd mentality, and the financial backing...

Unlock the screen and open social media.

I refreshed the page a few times and saw many posts about the band ending.

First of all, there is the professional media article that has dominated the hot searches.

Hailed as a genius, Suki-san leads the band in their collaboration with Fireworks. Perhaps her biggest mistake was choosing a lead singer? A renowned musician commented: "Thinking about performing without practicing is childish!" Did Niijima Yusuke really make the wrong choice this time?!

Then, there were various posts that made speculations about the works and concluded that all of Aoki Suke's original music was created by capital.

Various remarks such as "The Japanese music industry will be ruined by capital", "False genius", "Creature of capital" and so on are emerging one after another.

Secondly, there are doubts and criticisms directed at several girls in the band.

Criticize, spread rumors, and smear.

Most people who say these things just want to share in the profits, so they don't have to care about their bottom line at all.

Among these criticisms, Kita, the currently known lead singer, has been the most severely slandered.

For example: [Last time, she sang "Loser", and this time, she sang "Fireworks", and she was recommended by Suki-san to be the lead singer twice. Is there something behind this...?]

There are endless posts like this, and Aokisuke doesn't know what Kita and others think when they see these comments.

But Aoki Jie knew clearly what emotions he was feeling at the moment.

It was exactly as expected, or even more exaggerated than expected.

I took a deep breath to calm the emotional fluctuations in my heart.

Since he really didn't want to continue reading any posts, Aokisuke decisively closed his social media account.

I wanted to turn off my phone, but before I turned it off, I suddenly received a message on Line.

When I clicked on it, I found that it was just an advertisement for Kumamon emoticon stickers.

I closed the ad page without taking a closer look.

Then, on the main interface of the chat software, Aoki Jie suddenly noticed that he had missed a message from Kita Ikuyo.

I subconsciously opened the chat interface with Kita, and then, after several days, the message sent to Aokisuke was finally shown as read at this moment.

【Kita Kita: It has nothing to do with Aoki-senpai, so don't worry about it.】

......

After turning off the phone screen, Aoki Jie stood up.

At 8:40, it was completely dark outside.

He looked out the window for a while, then looked away.

There was no expression on his face, and his emotions were too calm at this moment.

Spreading rumors, slandering, and attacking.

The dirty water thrown at me, the ridicule directed at the other girls in the band, the slander directed at Kita...

Some things can be endured, but some things...there is no need to endure them from the beginning.

Aoki Jie couldn't bear these scandals silently.

From the very beginning, when Shinjima Yusuke told him about that possibility, Aoki's thoughts were clear.

He will fight back, and he will definitely fight back.

and so--

He was still thinking about what music to choose, but at this moment, an idea came to Aokisuke's mind.

He opened the points mall and redeemed the music sheet, then took out the guitar from the guitar bag beside the room.

Then, half an hour later.

At 9:20, a video appeared on the homepage of Suki-san's account.

Chapter 100 She Once Lived (Two Chapters in One)

It's 9:20 a.m. Tokyo time, and most people haven't fallen asleep yet.

Ryu Amano, 25 years old.

A musician with some level of talent, he has some fans on YouTube, but not too many, and his creative talent is not high. Although he has always worked hard for his dream, due to reality, he began to gradually give up his musical dream in the past year and fell into a struggle for life.

......

In addition to being a musician, Ryu Amano is also a fan of Suki-san.

Although he has less time to create music due to reality, the habit he has developed over the years still makes Ryu Amano pay attention to the music videos that have risen to the top of the music charts in the music section of YouTube almost every day.

It was at that time that he first came into contact with the music of 'Suki-san'.

I first noticed the musician Suki-san because of the slightly depressing lyrics of "Lemon" and the core message it conveys about treating the world with kindness.

He is different from Amano Ryu himself - 'Suki-san' is a genius, a genius who can write music like "Lemon". So although he feels beautiful about this music, at that time, Amano Ryu only had the ordinary thought of 'just pay attention to' towards Suki-san, the original music blogger.

What really changed his mind and made him become a fan of Suki-san was the song "So I Gave Up Music".

This piece of music is so easy for people who have musical dreams to empathize with. Amano Ryu can hear the unwillingness contained in it almost instantly.

When he heard this song for the first time, the 25-year-old cried all night.

Since then, whenever Suki-san releases music, he will listen to it as soon as possible.

Until recently.

About a week ago, a lot of rumors about Suki-san and the band he is in suddenly began to spread on the Internet.

As a half-insider, Ryu Amano could actually guess some of the inside story.

Suki-san's band is going to collaborate with "Fireworks", but as soon as the news came out, rumors followed one after another.

If you say it's a coincidence, or that there's no one behind this, Amano Ryu doesn't believe it at all.

however--

Although he could guess the reason why this matter had fermented, Amano Ryu was still not prepared to take any action.

Ghost Elements' departure has drawn criticism from numerous media outlets, with fans following suit and netizens drifting with the tide...

With only 20,000 fans, he really doesn't dare to be the first to sing a different tune.

So Amano Ryu had no choice but to refresh Suki-san's homepage over and over again at night, while praying in his heart that this genius who was much younger than him could successfully overcome this difficulty.

Until tonight.

I was refreshing Suki-san's homepage as usual, without any hope, but at exactly 9:22, after refreshing it once, a new video suddenly appeared on Suki-san's homepage.

The video title is very simple, just a few words, probably the name of the music in the video——

She once lived

It's very short, and if you only look at the name, you have no idea what it means.

After refreshing the page and finding this video, Ryu Amano was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, he clicked on the video without hesitation.

But after clicking on the video, Ryu Amano did not rush to play it.

He first paused the video decisively, then skillfully scrolled down and went straight to the video introduction.

For all the videos released by Suki-san, whether it is "Lemon", "So I Gave Up Music", or "Loser", the description of each video will be accompanied by a few sentences that match the music.

Like the sentence in the introduction of "Lemon": "Please turn the sourness of lemons that life brings you into the sweetness of lemonade."

Or maybe it was the line at the end of "So I Gave Up Music" that made me cry all night: "Dreams are too illusory, but please don't give up and pursue this illusory thing."

In short, read the introduction first, understand the core, and then listen to the music, the experience will be completely different.

So, Ryu Amano opened the introduction interface of the video [She Once Lived].

However, unlike what was expected, this introduction was not just a simple sentence.

Rather than a sentence, it's more like a notice, or a very short narrative text—

[At some unknown time, a young girl committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Probably because of bullying.

Indifferent bystanders, bad-tempered bullies, and rumors that are enough to drive anyone to despair.

The bystanders lived peacefully, the bullies continued to have fun, and only the rumors stopped.

At some point, a young girl committed suicide by jumping off a building, and no one cared.
