Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"As a sister who skips school all day in high school, you have no right to say that, okay? But, Pochi-chan, Ryo and I have never performed together at a campus festival, and we really want to give it a try." Staring at Goto-san with bright and sincere big eyes, Nijixia's offensive is hidden under this gentle attitude.

How could anyone resist such a look? Compared to Liangjiang, who was obviously just being perfunctory and had only good acting skills, Hongxia's eye attack was like a knife stuck in her soft spot.

However, the premise for this move to work is to look the other person in the eye, and then use a gentle offensive to defeat the other person. In the case of Pochi-chan, the first step failed...

"Actually, I can understand Pochi-chan's troubles." Yamada Ryo, with his hands on his chest, glanced at Ito Rin and said calmly.

"The number of people performing at the school festival is definitely much greater than the audience for the wind band and the Star Festival. Even I would feel nervous playing in front of so many people."

Ito Rin thought, no matter how stubborn and tough she was, Liang-chan was just a high school student who liked bass and was a little simple-minded, so she couldn't be treated like a superhero.

"In that case, don't listen to the store manager. Youth can't be just once in a lifetime. You will hold the campus festival next year. There's no need to make a decision in a hurry." Ito Rin said.

“It is also a wise choice to start with what you can do without forcing yourself.”

Even though he was warning Pochi-chan, Ito Rin still felt that when Ryo-chan said this she was secretly criticizing his behavior of forcing Pochi-chan to move forward, and Sister Xingge, who was dissed by him, was not someone to be trifled with.

"You little brat, why are you so talkative?" Sister Xingge, who had slapped him in the face, sat down next to him and looked at him unhappily.

"Hey, I want to report you for abusing a minor!"

"The store manager is bullying the kids again." PA, who was lying on the counter playing with her phone, kept her mission in mind and would tease the store manager whenever she got the chance.

"Shut up, or I'll deduct your salary."

The store manager who held the power of life and death suppressed the two flames that tried to resist, but during the fight, only Ito Rin could hear Yamada Ryo's mumbling clearly.

"To be honest, I still occasionally dream about that all-night performance in middle school, but I never expected it to be so serious that I was exhausted."

He really wanted to ask which one was worse, the exhaustion himself or the one from those nights. But his logic told him that if he asked, his ending probably wouldn't be so dignified... or complete?

So I'll just do it for now.

Putting the cup on her head, Ito Rin said seriously: "Hold on, Pikachu!"

Yamada Ryo, with veins popping out on his forehead, felt his intelligence was insulted, "Idiot, you are Pikachu. No, even in the Pokémon world, you can only be a Gengar."

"There's nothing wrong with being a Gengar. After all, it's so cute."

The idiotic conversation between them didn't last long, as the timid Pochi-chan raised her hand, interrupting their 'flirting' session.

"I'll think about it carefully when I get back."

"Yeah." Everyone nodded in unison to express their understanding for Pochi-chan.

"Then let's get to work."

Ah, even if I'm not Goto-san, I still shouldn't do things like work. It would be great if I could slack off while working like I do in class.

Chapter 79 Hongxia: Do you really want to shoot?

Corner Café, 1st floor.

Popular pop songs were playing in the store, and a pair of college students who looked like a couple were discussing in low voices on the seats next to the green plants at the entrance.

Sitting near the window, the energetic girl was pulling her ponytail in distress, as if she was questioning something.

Sitting opposite her, the handsome boy who looked like an idol star was looking at the camera on the table awkwardly.

……

“Do you really want to take this photo?”

Pulling her hair and leaning back in her seat, Ichichi Hongxia asked a hesitant question.

"There's nothing we can do." Ito Rin explained, "This is the other party's request. If you want to be famous, this step is essential. If we don't shoot it now, we will have to try it later. After all, we don't have much money to hire professionals."

"Ah, but I have no experience at all. Will it be troublesome for my first attempt?"

Ito Rin picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, thinking about how to convince Hongxia.

When her eyes became strange, he said: "Liang Jiang and I have experience in this area. It is actually very simple. As long as we can shoot a beautiful enough scenery, the rest is editing."

“I do know a little bit about editing.”

At this point, they have reached an agreement on the MV shooting for the project participating in the Shinjuku Music Festival.

Then she picked up the video camera on the table and asked the key question.

"So what should we shoot? If we don't have any good ideas, we might as well just record the live broadcast and send it over."

Although the background of the live broadcast is starry, and the messy lights will cause certain troubles for the selection, it is a rock-style venue after all. No matter how bad it is, there is a limit. If you blindly choose to shoot a homemade MV, the risk of poor results will be far greater than the benefits of success.

Guaranteed bottom line is far better than all in, this is wisdom!

Everyone understands the truth, but when faced with the real choice, Ito Rin still finds it difficult to suppress her desire to become famous overnight. She always wants to make some big news. Even if she fails, she can still regard it as training.

The materials collected and the photography techniques studied in the past few days came in handy today.

Ito Rin sent several sets of pictures she found to Hongxia, with her own comments and opinions attached to the titles, ready to let the other party see what was inappropriate.

The streets of Shimokitazawa, the fireworks of the summer festival, the snow scene of Mount Fuji, and the beach near Enoshima. In addition, there is the camera he borrowed from a professional.

When he borrowed something, the other party talked a lot to him and also gave him a lot of "gadgets". As a result, if he hadn't moved to a new house, he probably wouldn't even have a place to stay.

Ichichi Hongxia put her hand on her chin, looked at all the pictures carefully, and asked doubtfully: "Are you going to use the pictures to stitch them into a video? Then we don't need a camera."

"Splicing? Why do we need to splice?" Ito Rin put away the phone full of pictures.

"The summer festival is over, where can we find materials for the fireworks display?"

"..."

Ito Rin pinched his chin and pondered, "This is a problem. We don't have a leader, and we don't have the money to let others hold a fireworks display."

"Captain?"

"SOS Brigade, but this is not important. We might as well remove the fireworks display which is the turning point." Ito Rin replied casually and came up with a simple idea.

"But I really like that kind of scene, so I refuse." Ijichi Hongxia retorted mercilessly.

In fact, the more important point lies in Mount Fuji. She has long realized her homely nature, so how could she be foolish enough to climb Mount Fuji? She simply used this as an excuse to give up his stupid idea of ​​shooting a MV.

"This……"

Ito Rin, who has always been quick-witted, quickly thought of other ways. As for asking him to change his mind, that was unlikely. It was not easy to find some fun in a boring study life.

"Why don't we just find a video of a fireworks display and edit it in? There's a lot of stuff like that on the Internet, so if we reduce the amount of footage, it won't be noticed."

Ijichi Hongxia glared at him and coughed lightly, meaning "How come you can't understand the true meaning of the words?"

Ito Rin whistled and acted stupid, but he guessed that people are still like that, so he immediately changed the subject, "It doesn't have to be Mount Fuji, as long as it's a mountain."

"For example?"

"The mountain we climbed last time we went to Enoshima was pretty nice, but we can't take the escalator if we want to take pictures." Ito Rin took a step back.

After his mountain climbing experience during the summer vacation, out of his sensitivity to data, he specifically studied the altitude of Enoshima and the height of the "mountain".

The highest altitude is as high as 90 meters...

No wonder the band members couldn’t leave. We really misunderstood them!

Ito Rin once again rekindled hope for the future of the island country's music industry. You know, playing rock music is a physical job in a sense, and everyone seems to have great potential.

"Actually, climbing a mountain is a small matter, but why do you want to drag me into the MV shooting?" Ijichi Hongxia glanced at him and figured out what was wrong.

I always feel that Yamada Ryo is the most suitable one.

But when Ito Rin thought about how Ryo-chan was slacking off, she would almost fall asleep leaning on a broom if she was forced to climb the mountain.

Wow, that kind of scene.

No matter how you think about it, it seems terrifying.

However, this reason cannot be said out loud. Never let your target think of himself as a substitute, unless the other party is a bootlicker who doesn't care about the details at all.

While Ito Rin was daydreaming, she had already thought of the lines to praise Hongxia-san, and she spoke confidently in response to her curious gaze.

"Hong Xia, only a responsible captain like you can lead the band to debut. You can't back down on such a small matter, right?"

"That makes sense." He replied softly, and Ichichi Hongxia finished the coffee in the cup, "Come on, let's go out and talk."

Coming out of the cafe, the two walked towards Shimokitazawa.

"No matter how much you praise me, participation in the exhibition requires the consent of all members. And before we decide whether to participate in the school festival, is it appropriate for us to waste time on filming like this?"

On the way, Ichichi Hongxia asked.

During this period, Xiao Boqi still hadn't made any definite decision, and it was inconvenient for them to urge him. At most, they would quietly hint at him a few times while working.

However, Kita seems to have new ideas and even spends a lot more time practicing guitar.

"My original intention was to carry out these two tasks at the same time. In the absence of a professional recording studio, I can record the live performance of the school festival and then match it with a carefully shot MV. The effect will definitely be excellent." Ito Rin took a mobile phone with a camera and pointed it at the shops on both sides of the street.

"Have you considered the school festival as something that will happen?"

"Of course, I trust Pochi-chan."

"…I believe she wouldn't feel that way."

Eh, can't we have higher hopes for the band members? What a pathetic guy! If she knew that Xiao Boqi is a video host with tens of thousands of fans, I wonder if she would feel ashamed of what she said today.

He didn't intend to reveal Pochi's true identity, so he could only listen to her distrustful words and walk on the streets of Setagaya Ward facing the sunset.

"Aren't you tired of carrying a camera?" Hong Xia put her hands together in a square, closed one eye, and pointed at the pedestrian bridge not far away under the setting sun.

"If you want to find people who can travel with you, you have to show some sincerity." Ito Rin answered honestly with two bags on his back. If he didn't want to prove his determination, why would he come out with a single bag?

"What kind of sincerity is this?"

"But this is the best solution I can think of."

"..."Surprised, Hong Xia turned sideways to look at him, then raised her hand and pointed at the overpass.

The weather in Tokyo in early September is far from comfortable. Although midsummer has apparently dissipated, the remaining heat still lingers over the city.

When they reached the middle of the overpass, Ito Rin, who was carrying a lot of bags, hadn't said anything yet, but Ijichi Hongxia, who was lightly dressed, was already fanning her hands, and a light layer of sweat appeared on her snow-white skin.

"Let's stop for a moment." Ito Rin suggested.

She nodded, placed her hands on the guardrail of the overpass, and felt the evening breeze that could only be felt when things were quiet, and her mood became unprecedentedly calm.

If you could capture this kind of scenery and pair it with the band's ending performance, there might be a magical reaction.

She began to agree with Ito Rin's idea to some extent and looked at the profile of the handsome boy next to her. No matter how the image in her mind collapsed, she had to admit that this guy was still very handsome.

Ito Rin, who was staring blankly at the train speeding by below, came to her senses and felt that the scene in front of her was in line with the theme of MVD, so she took out her SLR camera to record the train.

“Are we going to start shooting now?” she asked.

The single shot camera started to roll, and Hong Xia, who looked surprised, was also recorded. "I just thought that the lonely train running at dusk was very suitable for the mood."

Hong Xia didn't care why she was filming, she frowned and asked, "What kind of MV are you going to shoot? I don't even know the song."

"Huh, didn't you tell me?" He saved the shot of the beautiful girl. Although he felt it would not be useful, he still nodded secretly.

Classmate Hongxia is really cute.

"What do you think? Up to now, I have only seen your camera and various materials. How could I know that the theme song is that?"

"The streets of Shimokitazawa... the fireworks display... Mount Fuji. I think it's obvious."

Looking at Ito Rin, who was smug because he thought he had revealed enough information by giving only three keywords, Hongxia stood up straight and rolled her eyes at him: "Do you mean that I'm stupid? Well, I feel that people who are too stupid can't keep up with Ito's work progress."

"..."

"Or did I misunderstand?"

Free labor is not easy to find in Tokyo, so Ito Rin decided not to be a riddle teller. "The natural scenery on the mountain symbolizes loneliness, the streets of Shimokitazawa represent music, and the fireworks display is the transition between the two."

"After the fireworks display, the lonely guitar girl longed to see a better and more prosperous world, so she mustered up her courage and set out to find teammates. In the end, she created a song that touched her heart, successfully became famous in Tokyo, and kept loneliness away from her."

Ijichi Hongxia blinked, feeling that the script was somewhat familiar.

"It sounds good, but it doesn't seem like it will be popular."

"why?"

"It lacks a lot of popular factors. This is not the most popular style nowadays."
