This was originally an impromptu performance that no one expected.
Chen Ke curled up in his bed, staring at the screen.
These days she was busy with a research project at school, but she also heard about the ups and downs on the Internet.
—To be honest, I’m a little tired. Chen Ke felt tired.
Whether it is the busy real life or the endless quarrels with Yi Wan. The constant quarrels and doubts make her, a beginner fan whose life is focused on the three-dimensional world, a little tired of dealing with them. The goodwill generated by a variety show is limited, and the subsequent online disputes are a drain on the fans' emotions - not only for Chen Ke, but also for other fans.
It’s not because she doesn’t like Yi Wan anymore, it’s just because she’s tired.
So it wasn't until today when he had some free time and saw the Weibo posts of Yu Rongshi and three others on the homepage that Chen Ke remembered and opened the live broadcast room of Hongtuan.
The camera in the live broadcast room was a little shaky because it was held in the hands of Bo Jiang. But this little shaking was harmless and even gave Chen Ke a more intimate feeling - this live broadcast was not a traditional program from an idol, but Yi Wan was like a friend, broadcasting his real life to her.
The light in the camera was not glaring, but soft and bright. A pile of debris was thrown in the corner of the practice room. The sense of reality and closeness reached the highest point. A voice came from the receiver: "Yi Wan, your piano..."
-piano
Chen Ke was stunned. She saw Yi Wan sitting in front of a piano. He was wearing a loose T-shirt and looking at the black and white keys, imitating the rules seriously, like a good student taking an exam.
And what was placed next to him... was actually a stack of playing cards
Chen Ke was a little confused.
Poker
The comments in the live broadcast room were refreshing very fast. It took Chen Ke some time to figure out the reason for the refreshing of comments - today's live broadcast content was actually a performance. Before the show started, each member of the Rainbow Group wrote down his or her personal performance on a card. Then, the staff would open it one by one in order and let the members perform an impromptu performance.
So Ding Biehan started improvisational dance, Chi Jixia started improvisational performance, Bo Jiang started improvisational painting, and An Yelin started improvisational rap. Almost everyone's chosen subject was not the area they were good at on their resumes, but they still completed it very well.
"It goes without saying that Xiaochi is a genius in all aspects."
"Bo Jiang is also amazing!!"
"I heard that his paintings sold for one million at an auction. It really lives up to his reputation."
Perhaps the performances of the first few people had raised everyone's expectations. When Yi Wan, who was sitting at the end, came out to draw lots, everyone was curious, a little disappointed, and even discussed gossip.
"I heard from people that Yi Wan is the most lazy person in the group... What kind of improvisation can he do?"
"Hey, actually everyone is good at something that they are not good at, and it cannot be said that they are just slacking off..."
"But in terms of other skills, the abilities of the members just now are at the ceiling level. It's normal that Yi Wan doesn't have any particularly outstanding skills next to these monsters."
"Yi Wan was the last one to hand in his cards just now. He seemed to hesitate for a long time. Didn't he have any impromptu talents?"
"I read online that Yi Wan is like the kind of student who studies too hard in school..."
Until she saw the card Yi Wan handed in.
"Improvisational card magic?"
Everyone was confused.
"??? Does Yi Wan know magic?"
"I'm a little curious."
"Doing magic, survival, Yi Wan really can't do any of the proper work as a member of a boy band." The man said sourly.
Then she saw Yi Wan do something unexpected after drawing the project that belonged to him.
He asked the staff to find a piano for him.
Everyone: ?
What kind of magic can only be performed next to a piano
The staff member didn't seem to expect that Yi Wan would bring a piano, which made him a little confused, but he still fulfilled Yi Wan's request.
Chen Ke saw Yi Wan shuffling the cards carefully in front of the piano. She just knew the whole story and was a little confused, not knowing what Yi Wan was going to do.
Yi Wan lowered his head and shuffled the cards. He put some of the cards on the other side, his fingers were white and slender, his eyes were serious, like a scientist processing his research results.
"I was a little worried when it came to improvisation. Considering that I only have a good memory, I chose this 'magic', which can also be regarded as a combination of performances." Yi Wan said to the camera, he looked a little nervous, "For example..."
"Can you help me draw out three?" he said to An Yelin.
An Yelin on the screen didn't know what was going on, so he drew three cards. The three cards he drew were 5 of Clubs, 3 of Hearts, and 3 of Spades. Yi Wan took them and showed them to the camera.
Chen Ke was a little confused.
What does it mean to draw cards… Sexy dealer, online card dealing
The barrage was also confused. Finally, Yi Wan placed three cards on the piano bench and said, "The first full melody, 5, 3, 3."
He pondered for a while, his fingers dancing on the keys!
… When the water-like melody flowed out, Chen Ke was shocked.
The first piece of music… Chopin’s Nocturne
Not only Chen Ke, but everyone else was also shocked. After the first melody ended, Yi Wan shuffled the cards again and handed them to Bo Jiang.
Bo Jiang looked at him strangely and also drew out three cards.
6 of clubs, 3 of hearts, ace of hearts.
Yi Wan took back the three cards, pondered for a while, and started playing.
His fingering was very skillful and there was not a single mistake.
"'Wedding in a Dream'!" someone said in the barrage.
This method of "improvisational magic" is extremely ingenious. If the first and second paragraphs could be called coincidences by those who are not careful, then by the time the third, fourth, and even seventh paragraphs came out, no one in the comments dared to question it anymore.
No matter how he randomly draws the cards, Yi Wan seems to be able to find a melody that corresponds to the syllables in the vast music library in the world. What's more terrifying is that no matter what the melody is, he can play it skillfully - his fingers fly on the keys, and the notes come alive.
Finally, someone spoke in the barrage.
"… My god, the music library in Yi Wan's head… His knowledge is so vast that it's like Baidu turned into a human…"
“… I thought the same thing when I was watching the wilderness survival variety show.”
"Help, it's not just Quku who escaped. He can also play!"
"And he can even match with random matches... Yi Wan is a living Baidu search, right? Wasn't he the same when he was in the wilderness survival variety show before? He can come up with all kinds of obscure knowledge and use them."
"I admit this is magic... It's a miracle!"
Only Chen Ke was looking at Yi Wan's face.
The tiredness of life and the exhaustion from quarreling with others seemed to fade away at this moment. She just listened to the music flowing from Yi Wan's fingertips and looked at Yi Wan's profile. Yi Wan kept his eyes down, with no expression.
Just like the model he had in the survival variety show.
But it is this always calm and indifferent expression that makes people feel at ease.
Finally, Yi Wan stopped playing the ninth melody. The staff on the screen applauded.
There were also screams in the barrage.
"This 'magic' is amazing!!"
“Awesome!!!”
The sound of praise flooded the entire screen, brushing off all the doubts and boring gossip. This unique form and skillful skills created an unprecedented spectacle that was better than other performances. Netizens posted comments so fast that they seemed to fly. Chen Ke could hardly see the subtitles that were rushing up. Yi Wan said on the screen: "Because my memory is better..."
"Don't be so modest, God."
"From wilderness survival to piano... Are you Baidu Bendu?"
"What's so great about being able to copy and paste?" Heizi was nitpicking unwillingly, "If you can, just improvise..."
Finally, Yi Wan drew the last three cards from the stack of cards.
3 of clubs, 5 of hearts, ace of spades.
He looked at the three cards for a long time, and finally said: "Regarding these three cards, I can't seem to remember any famous songs that fit this melody..."
The performance ended here, and netizens felt a little regretful, but they felt that this was enough. But Yi Wan continued: "But..."
"… I wrote a song before, and it has a melody. But time has passed, and everything has changed." Yi Wan said, "So I changed the tune and the lyrics, and give it to everyone."
Kuroko: …
Fans: “Pfft.”
Yi Wan lowered his eyes and looked at the three playing cards. Finally, he looked towards the camera with a serious expression.
"That song was written before my debut. It originally expressed my expectations for the future. But the past is the past. I changed this melody to be a melody for myself."
"Thank you for the years so far, and thank you for always being there."
Chen Ke looked at the screen. She saw Yi Wan sitting in front of the piano, playing the familiar melody. Yi Wan closed his eyes, and his expressionless face became a little softer.
The music was clear, bright, and soft, reminding people of summer in July, orange soda, and boys and girls walking hand in hand in the sun. The other four members of the Rainbow Group sat beside Yi Wan and listened quietly. Chen Ke looked at this picture and suddenly felt very happy.
At that moment, it was as if a summer breeze blew through her heart, blowing all her previous worries into flowers blooming under the leaves.
Those online arguments, fans and haters, those comments are not the main part of her life, right? She came to this live broadcast room to watch these things, not to prove anything. Not to argue about anything.
A person likes an idol only because he can bring brightness and happiness to himself, nothing more.
She covered her eyes and finally laughed happily and innocently.
How nice, she thought.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was silent, until someone posted a comment.
"... I think this tune is familiar, but the tune in the live broadcast room is better, but..."
"… I am the North Star now. When Jiang Bei released AT's practice video before, he seemed to have improvised and said that this part was his own original creation."
The two barrages caused a huge uproar.
…
After the impromptu performance, everyone applauded Yi Wan, and the other teammates were also amazed. However, the person who looked at Yi Wan the longest this time was Bo Jiang.
Yi Wan guessed that it might be because Bo Jiang had a natural liking for "academic masters".
"Yi Wan, come with me." Zhang Jianhua stood at the door and knocked.
Yi Wan followed him into the small room. Zhang Jianhua bowed and looked at the screen and said, "Okay, the development of this barrage and the audience's reaction are all within my expectations. Including the backlash after 'similar tunes'. This is also not beyond my expectations. Many fans have started to dig up the news. If I'm not mistaken, the popularity of this piece of news will soon surpass the popularity of the previous discussions. Of course..."
He smiled at Yi Wan: "This is also due to your excellence, Yi Wan."
Yi Wan stared at the screen. Zhang Jianhua continued, "But there was a small problem just now. Do you want to hear it? When you were about to finish playing your tenth piece, no one could hear the similarity between your piece and the one Jiang Bei plagiarized. It seems that Jiang Bei is really confused - you should be happy about this."
Yi Wan took out the last three playing cards in his hand. There were only subtle marks on the backs of these three playing cards.
