"Snapped".

The lights under the stage were suddenly turned on, and in the huge concert hall, the last note was stopped.

On the stage, next to a black grand piano, people in formal gowns bowed their heads in silence.After a while, he got up and walked to the center of the stage, bowing deeply towards the auditorium.

There was a burst of sparse applause from the auditorium, and the lights turned his face pale.

Zhou Ruyan straightened up and tugged at the slightly wrinkled dress.He lowered his eyes and glanced at the seats under the stage, and a helpless smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

really.

...the seats are mostly empty.

The audience left the venue one after another, and all kinds of garbage that should not be related to the word "concert" were scattered on the floor.Water bottles, tissues...even a popcorn bucket.Zhou Ruyan collected himself and took a deep breath.

After so many years, he should almost get used to it.It's like this every time after the show, but every time, he's still thinking and looking forward to something.

When the lights came on, nothing had changed—he was still the old-fashioned pianist, not at his prime.

Back then, what was it like back then?

Back then, Zhou Ruyan was only young.He was recommended by his teacher to participate in the Strauss International Piano Competition in Austria alone.In the final final, he was not only the youngest Asian player, but also won the championship with his outstanding typhoon and skills.

The Strauss Gold Award is almost the highest award in the piano industry. After that competition, Zhou Ruyan became famous in China.Because of his handsome youthful appearance and top-notch strength, he has been praised by all parties in the classical music circle, and fans even gave him the title of "Piano Angel".

That year, he became an instant hit.

The classical music circle is no better than the entertainment circle. Although most of the classical music workers are public figures who are exposed to the eyes of the masses, after all, classical music is not as popular and popular as the singers in the entertainment circle.However, Zhou Ruyan broke this convention. His popularity soared and he quickly became an "accident" in the classical music circle.

The concert venues were packed, he was the most popular search, and even encountered illegitimate fans in life... Ever since he became popular, the popularity of Zhou Ruyan has been lingering.In those few years at the peak of his career, his fans were as crazy as those of popular singers, which attracted the envy and jealousy of countless people.

However, when the future was bright and bright, an unspeakable incident was suddenly revealed, and Zhou Ruyan's rape emerged at an explosive speed, quickly pushing him to the forefront of public opinion.

That incident quickly turned sour and fermented, making everything take a sharp turn for the worse.Rumors spread everywhere, and public opinion swirled. People were slandering him as much as they sought after him in the past.

In the unpopular classical music circle that has always been high-spirited, conservative and focused on reputation, the impact of that incident caused Zhou Ruyan to suffer quickly. In just a few years, he passed away in an irreversible decadence, and until today, he Not even concert tickets were sold.

Now mentioning Zhou Ruyan, most people in the classical music circle will show an indistinguishable smile.Zhou Ruyan knew that she had already become a joke in the circle.

The people in the audience gradually dispersed, Zhou Ruyan came back to his senses, turned around and left the stage in silence.But at this moment, a trembling voice suddenly drew his attention.

"Come on like a feast——"

Zhou Ruyan was slightly stunned, and followed the prestige to look over.In the corner of the concert hall, there were actually a few girls holding light signs and shouting at him at the top of their lungs.The ponytail girl in the lead saw him turn his head and excitedly shook the light board with his name written on it.

He looked at them in a daze for a while, then nodded to them dumbfounded.He had mixed feelings in his heart—this was the first time he saw someone bring a concert light sign to a classical concert.

It's really hard for them.

He took a deep breath, rubbed the sore tip of his nose slightly, and walked towards the backstage.

He was the only one in the small lounge, Zhou Ruyan changed into casual clothes, sat down and took out his cell phone.He stared at the pitch-black screen for a long time, and then he pursed his lips tightly and turned on the off phone.

As expected, just after the startup screen was displayed, a series of text messages and missed calls popped up.

He looked at the word "Dad" on the screen and was slightly dazed.After a while, I moved my finger and opened a text message.

[--Not going home yet?Don't feel ashamed enough? ]

Zhou Ruyan looked at the text message, smiled reluctantly, and clicked delete.

"Like a feast!"

The door to the living room was slammed open.A short-haired woman in a brown shirt pushed the door in, her tone a little excited.

"I just asked Mr. Zhao Yan, and he said that your performance today was very good!" The woman blushed, "He promised to write a music review for you, and this time he really invited the wrong person..."

Zhou Ruyan put away the phone and said lightly, "How much?"

The woman froze for a moment, her expression suddenly a little embarrassed: "This..."

"Xiaolu, no need." Zhou Ruyan sighed, got up and patted her on the shoulder, "I accept it."

The woman called Little Deer was at a loss for a while, she watched Zhou Ruyan walk past her in a little loss, walked past her, closed the door and went out.

Xiaolu's name is Chen Xiaolu, and he has been Zhou Ruyan's manager for eight years.From the year of her debut, she has followed Zhou Ruyan, taking care of his various performances and miscellaneous affairs.

During these eight years, she watched with her own eyes that Zhou Ruyan was lifted up to the clouds and then pushed down to the bottom of the mud.The gap in the past eight years shattered Zhou Ruyan bit by bit, breaking him to pieces.

Xiaolu always wants to do his best to help him plan.In the classical music circle, a well-known music critic's music review has a great influence in the circle.Even though people in the circle used money to buy favors, the evaluation ratings of those people were also terribly high.But there are still many performers who still regard these people's pen and ink as a life-saving straw, and flock to them.

How could Zhou Ruyan not know Xiao Lu's thoughts?But since the downhill, he no longer knows how many music reviews he bought.He gradually began to feel that his music was too bad, otherwise how could he not even be able to maintain his popularity in marketing?

And now, he can no longer afford the money, and he no longer believes in the so-called "comeback".

He quietly checked the ticketing information last night, and no more than 300 of the more than 50 tickets were sold.But today, when the venue was over, there were less than [-] people in the venue.What is a comeback, what is a new start.If this continues, one day may be the last performance.

Dad is right, don't lose this person.

Except for the lounge, Zhou Ruyan stayed quiet for a while before heading to the underground garage while lowering her head and scrolling through Weibo.When passing the corridor, he saw the gloomy sky outside the window, with layers of dark clouds pressing down, and the first heavy rain this summer was about to come.

His concert is rented in one of the smaller side halls in the theater, the rent is cheap but the location is out of the way.From the side hall, to the underground garage, you have to walk a short distance.

Zhou Ruyan looked at Weibo absent-mindedly. On Weibo, the topic of "Golden Screen Award Winners" was listed at the top of the hot search list. Celebrities and big Vs posted Weibo to congratulate each other. It was very lively.And under his own Weibo, the latest Weibo is "The concert ended successfully" posted by Xiaolu on his account, and there are only a few dozen comments below.

When I walked to the entrance of the underground garage, the phone rang suddenly, and the ringtone was Karl Bohm's "Fountain".He looked at the caller ID, hesitated for two seconds, and picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Where are you?" A cold male voice came from the phone. "Aren't you coming back today?"

"The concert just ended, let's go home." Zhou Ruyan said, "Traffic jam, slow down on the road."

"Going home? I think you're used to staying outside." The man sneered on the phone, "What makes you linger in that little concert of yours, Dad called you so many times, pretend you didn't see it? "

"Brother, I'll go back right away." Zhou Ruyan gritted his teeth, "Don't make Dad angry."

The other party didn't say anything, didn't stay for a second, and hung up the phone with a "snap".

Zhou Ruyan was silent for a while, feeling even more depressed.

The parking lot is huge, but you can hear the sound of rain coming from outside.Zhou Ruyan was so annoyed that she turned around for a long time before finding her car.When he was about to press the remote control, he suddenly scanned an off-road vehicle parked beside him, and was slightly taken aback.

Black car paint, handsome lines, stable and stylish shape, the whole car is taller than myself, I don't know how much it is.He didn't feel that his car of more than 20 yuan was worthless before, but today such a car was parked next to him... Suddenly he felt a little frustrated.

His car is spotless, and the last time his car was washed was half a year ago.

Zhou Ruyan sighed, couldn't help but go around, and gently touched the side door of the luxury car next to him.

There are many embarrassing moments in one's life, but Zhou Ruyan feels that the most embarrassing moment is when touching someone's luxury car and the car starts from inside.

Zhou Ruyan was taken aback by the "boom" of the off-road vehicle, stopped in an instant, and withdrew his hand touching the vehicle.

But his movements were far slower than those of the people in the car. Just as he retracted his hand, the car door suddenly opened, and the people inside pulled him in!

"Damn it!" Zhou Ruyan cursed subconsciously.

Before he had time to see who was pulling him, he was suddenly pulled!The off-road chassis was too high, and he tripped immediately, and his knee hit the car firmly.

"Damn..." He gasped in pain.

Zhou Ruyan's anger came up in a "bass", and when he was about to punch someone, a burst of alcohol came over him, and the man yanked him again, pushing him down on the seat.

Then, a drunken kiss fell.
