Chapter 143 Don’t be too close to your relatives (3 more, please subscribe)

When the piano sounded, Shizuka Kitami's soul seemed to be hit by something and was instantly attracted.

Different from classical piano music, this is a category of modern piano music, just like those specially composed for animation soundtracks.

The melody is passionate and high-pitched, bright and fast, but every piano sound seems to penetrate the ears and pierce the heart.

That feeling is hard to describe. When you hear it for the first time, it is like the sound of nature, which makes people deeply immersed in it and difficult to recover for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, the song ended, and the video ended with it.

"Da, da."

Shizuka Kitami didn't say anything, just holding the mouse hand, moving slightly.

She subconsciously clicked on the homepage of the video author, but there was nothing, only a few hundred subscriptions and a video.

Going back to the video page, she clicked on the video introduction again.

"Written for the war in Croatia."

There is only a short sentence, no extra words, and no more introduction, which makes people curious and touching.

The so-called rhapsody is usually composed based on folk music themes and has high-difficulty techniques.

It is characterized by capriciousness, improvisation, and especially freedom.

Many rhapsodies were created because of the pianist's whim.

She was silent for a long time, subconsciously liked it, and then took out a pair of cat-ear headphones, put them on her head, and clicked on the video again.

"I am Zero Hour, this is a piano piece I wrote, called "Croatian Rhapsody."

At the same time, the mysterious pianist named Zero Hour, wearing a tuxedo and a gentleman's hat, with no visible face, appeared on the screen again.

Then, this piano piece was played again, through the headphones, into the heartstrings, and penetrated the soul.

Perhaps it was because she read the introduction and further understood the original meaning of this piano piece. Even if she listened to it again immediately, she still had a completely different feeling.

She didn't know what Croatia was, but she knew through the introduction that this place had suffered a tragic and terrible war.

It was precisely because of this realization that she listened to it again, and her heart resonated with it.

This passionate and high-pitched melody, bright and fast notes, seemed to be telling a story.

What kind of story is that? It varies from person to person. What touched her was that she remembered her past self.

She has been learning piano since she was a child, and has been on various stages and competitions. She has had successes and failures, but her excellent performance made her full of yearning for life, and she was proud of it, calling herself a piano artist.

When did it start... It seems that after graduating from college, she left the big stage of school and came to the cruel society.

Her proud and sought-after piano level when she was a student is worthless in the professional piano world.

In this era, piano is too niche compared to pop music, and the cake is so big that it is not enough to share.

She has no fame, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall, and she has no fame to sell records... She wants to live on piano and music, so she can only go to places like Jingba and perform on the spot with a meager salary.

Maybe she can't hold a concert, but she is still optimistic and decides to start from scratch and become famous step by step.

The reality was very smooth. Even on such a small stage, she quickly accumulated a lot of fans.

But the good times didn't last long. She found that her fans didn't care what piano music she played at all. They just wanted to see a beautiful woman on the stage while eating and drinking.

She was able to find such a thing thanks to her boss, who conveyed the fans' opinions to her and hoped that she would change her dress and not wear the same old three things.

As a piano artist, how could she accept that others didn't listen to her piano? She resigned angrily and changed the battlefield.

In two years, she went to several quiet bars and several restaurants.

But in the end, no one cared about how well she played the piano. People only felt fresh and saw a hot and curvy beauty playing on the stage.

People were happy to hear about this. After all, they could look at her unscrupulously while drinking, staring at her skirt, hoping to see more, staring at her neckline, longing for more.

Two years of stagnation made her discouraged. She left the big city of Tokyo and returned to her hometown Hokkaido.

After wasting some time, she had to find a job because her parents urged her to do so. She set her sights on YouTube and began to imitate many seniors by playing the piano online.

However, her piano skills may be popular among students, but it is not worth mentioning in terms of career.

Even if someone watched her performance, there were not many fans and audiences like those in Jingba. Some people even recognized her.

No feedback, no fans, no recognition... She didn't know when she fell into depravity. She no longer imitated those seniors, but was hit by reality and pressure. She turned to learn from those who relied on cosplay uniforms and even swimsuits.

Until now, she has long forgotten the original intention of learning piano when she was a child, and has sunk into money and material things.

"Zero hour."

With a lot of emotion, Kitami Shizuka looked at the website that had stopped playing long ago, looked at the frozen figure, and couldn't help calling this name. It was reverence.

Her eyes were very hot, as if she had rekindled the flame of hope in the dead silence.

Even though the reality is cruel and terrible, hope will never die.

This piano music may be about this meaning... Even if it is full of holes, I have to start from scratch!

Immediately afterwards, she chose to forward and share the piano music, and even typed it by tapping the keyboard.

What's more, she not only forwarded it to her own community, Twitter, Facebook, and all accounts that can be shared.

She wants to introduce her idol to everyone.

She wants to use this move as a starting point to pick up her piano dream again!

On this day, in Neon and abroad, people who are interested in piano clicked on this video one after another.

"I am Zero Hour."

"I am Zero Hour."

"I am Zero Hour."

This sentence of self-introduction echoed in different places in Neon. Some people read it on their mobile phones, while others used their computers.

What's even more terrifying is that this piano music seems to contain a magic power.

Shocking, touching, emotional, and admirable.

For those who are learning piano, this video is extremely powerful.

…

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky is getting dark, somewhere in Tokyo, a zero-hour office.

After the filming was over and the video was uploaded, Kurosawa didn't go home yet. Instead, he sat in the lounge on the third floor with his two partners.

Because their debut path was on the video platform YouTube, they are still waiting for the results.

Igarashi Runa bent over slightly, facing a laptop, holding the mouse in her right hand and pressing the keyboard with her left hand, refreshing the web page from time to time and performing various operations.

“It’s on the homepage of the music channel!”

She kept refreshing various pages. After all, she had been a manager, and Rikka Fujiwara had also posted various songs and videos on YouTube, so she was familiar with various operations.

What's more, in order to keep up with the times and trends, she has been playing YouTube.

“It’s on the home page of the entire site!”

She would exclaim every other moment since noon.

"Six hours, 100,000 fans! The notification for the Silver Creator Award is here, 430,000 views, 110,000 likes, ahhh! Kurosawa! I love you to death."

Until the official notification arrived, Igarashi Runa finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She jumped up wildly and opened her arms like a tiger descending from the mountain, and pounced on Kurosawa Hikaru on the sofa opposite.

The next moment, she was riding on Kurosawa Hikari's body, holding his head, and kissed him fiercely on the cheek. In just a few strokes, she left lipstick marks.

"Runa, what are you doing!"

Ninomiya Chizuru, who was sitting on the same side as her, was immediately confused when she saw this scene. She was so excited that she even lost her voice and hurriedly ran over to pull her back.

She quickly walked over, hugged Igarashi Runa, and forced the two people away.

"Chizuru, we're done! Croatian Rhapsody is a hit!"

Although she was pulled away, Igarashi Runa was still in a very excited state. She raised her head and looked at Chizuru, extremely excited.

"..."

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little confused by the kiss and froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

"Even if it breaks out, you can't mess with your relatives."

Ninomiya Chizuru pulled her back to the sofa and hugged her tightly, feeling speechless and angry.

She has known Kurosawa Hikari for more than a year, and so far they have only held hands a few times. As for riding on him or kissing him on the face, she has not even done so.

"One hundred thousand fans in six hours, and this is without any fan base or funding for publicity. Do you know how terrifying this statistic is?"

However, Igarashi Runa couldn't calm down at all, her heart was beating wildly and she was unbearably excited.

As an agent, she knows the value of these data better than these two people.

"Speak slowly and calm down first."

Ninomiya Chizuru found that she was too excited, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and comforted her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed your man, but this is a video with tens of millions of views. No, it should be 100 million views!"

Igarashi Runa couldn't calm down at all. She had been anxious since she resigned last Sunday.

Although I firmly believe that Kurosawa Hikaru will be popular, I firmly believe that the decision I made will not be wrong, and time will prove everything.

But when the signs of the outcome were before her eyes, the burden and worries that were weighing on her were finally swept away.

"My man, you are so excited, don't talk nonsense..."

Ninomiya Chizuru didn't expect that she would say this, and her face felt a little hot for a moment. She didn't dare to look at Kurosawa Hikaru opposite him, and she didn't have the energy to speak.

Immediately afterwards, Igarashi Runa began to mutter:

"If there are really 100 million plays, converted into average price RPM, that would be 30 million yen in revenue. If it is not the average price, it would be 40 million or 50 million yen!"

"If there are 200 million views, we can even earn back our startup capital from this video alone."

"And judging from the fact that the number of likes is growing at almost the same rate as the number of fans, almost everyone who likes it has become a fan...Such a terrible conversion volume and fan attraction, commercial endorsements, performances, albums, invitation announcements, Everyone will come."

While she kept talking, countless scenarios began to appear in front of her eyes.

One song became a god, became popular all over the country, and won various music awards. The name Ling Shi, as if it was a god, soared into the sky.

As a person in the industry, she knows the value of these data all too well.

In this era, she has a ruler in her heart to measure how much fame and traffic can make money, and how terrible it is to turn it into money at such a high level.
