Chapter 23 Sonata for the Handstand Girl

"This script has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it."

Chihara Rinto walked over while talking and took back the half-written "Sonata for the Handstand Girl" from Michiko's hand.

Miqianzi didn't believe it, and lowered her head slightly. Instantly, her big pure eyes were covered with a faint shadow, and she asked in a low voice: "Is that me? You guessed what happened to me, and then used it as creative material.

Is that enough? It’s not enough to ruin my life, but you also need to use it to make money?”

How shameless is this person, taking advantage of other people's pain to make money?

bad people!

"Sonata for the Handstand Girl" is a short script that Rinto Chihara is writing:

In a piano competition, the male protagonist Kuroki worked hard, but did not win any awards. The first prize was won by his beautiful classmate Yoshino Dian, but Yoshino Dian's expression was indifferent amidst the praises.

This made Kuroki feel even more depressed. His friend Kadokawa was also very unhappy and whispered some harsh and strange words.

The competition was over, and Kuroki walked home, hesitating in his mind whether he should give up his dream of becoming a pianist. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to those who are naturally talented. Maybe he should give up his dream and go for it in a down-to-earth manner.

A job right?

He was having trouble making a decision when he suddenly heard several shrill crows coming from the roadside. When he looked up, he found a dark forest on the roadside, surrounded by an old bookstore.

He felt very strange. He had the impression that there were no buildings here. He hesitated and chose to go in and take a look. It was now twelve o'clock in the night.

The bookstore was empty, so he walked around, and a blood-red and gilded hard-cover book on the bookshelf caught his eye. He took the book down, and out of it fell a piece of music score covered in dried blood.

.

The text on the music score seemed to be in German, which he did not recognize, but he tried to hum the staff and found that the melody was very strange. Out of curiosity, he finally bought this strange music score.

The next day, he found a dictionary and translated it, and found that the sheet of music was called "Sonata for a Handstand Girl" and belonged to a performer named Albert. There were also several lines of handwritten words on the sheet of music:

"No one can hear this tune."

"Don't play, never play. Mistakes will cost you both hands."

He became more curious and went to the library again to search for information on this piece of music. He found a piece of news from 1921. The famous piano performer Albert was killed while playing "Sonata for the Handstand Girl".

The falling chandelier broke both hands.

Cursed music score? If you fail to play it, you will lose your hands?

What does it mean that no one can hear it?

Kuroki was dubious, but he couldn't control his curiosity, and finally went to the piano room and played the piece. Anyway, he was disappointed in his dream, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

But when he struck the first note, the clock stopped, the metronome stopped, the laughter outside the room disappeared, and even the raindrops outside the window stopped in mid-air.

The whole world stopped!

This piece of music can stop time? Kuroki was very surprised. He didn't dare to stop or make a mistake. But when he played the last note on the score, the second hand on the quartz clock moved down to one frame, and the metronome

Swinging resumed.



Kuroki was so surprised that he couldn't help but tell his good friend Kadokawa about it and showed him the cursed music score. However, Kadokawa did not believe it and instead joked that he could use this music sheet

Give Yoshino some bullets so that if she makes a mistake, she will lose her hands. Then go to the German training trials and everyone will have a chance.

Kuroki thought this was wrong, but Kadokawa dismissed it, saying that he already disliked that woman Yoshino. She always relied on her talent to be arrogant, and her temperament was too cold and aloof. It would be good to teach her a lesson.

Yoshino happened to come over at this time, and after hearing Kadokawa's criticism of her behind her back, she gave Kadokawa a cold look, as if to say: People like you can only be jealous of talented people behind their backs.

Kuroki and Kadokawa were very embarrassed, and Kadokawa knocked over the cup in his panic. Kuroki hurriedly went to pick it up for him, but Kadokawa hesitated for a moment and took away the "Sonata for the Handstand Girl" with a heavy look on his face.



Not long after, a shrill scream came from the piano room. People passing by heard it and broke in to take a look. They found that Kadokawa's hands were bloody and he had been seriously injured. They quickly called an ambulance for him.

Kuroki didn't understand the reason and thought he had harmed his friend. After hearing this, he hurried to the hospital, only to find that although Kadokawa was lying on the hospital bed with his arms hanging, his expression had improved a lot and he no longer had the bitter and bitter resentment he had before.

.

Kuroki asked confusedly why Kadokawa wanted to play that piece of music. Was it just out of curiosity?

Kadokawa smiled peacefully, "Because I wanted to give myself a reason to give up, but I didn't expect it to succeed. I can be a company employee with peace of mind in the future."

Then he said seriously: "You still have a chance, Kuroki. Your talent has made me jealous. Now it's time for you to prove yourself. You should go to the selection meeting and go to Germany to realize your dream!"

Kuroki lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at his friend and silently agreed.



A few days later, the school selection competition began. Kuroki played with all his strength, but noticed that the judges had expressionless faces and seemed not interested in him. When the performance was over, he was disappointed and came to watch.

Kadokawa, who was competing against him, comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, there is hope of success!"

At this time, Yoshino arrived and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Then she came on stage, sat down in front of the piano and started playing. Her skills were superb, and the sound of the piano was touching, as if she was desperate and suppressed but also contained a cry of unwillingness. Every note can hit people's hearts.

Kuroki listened for a while and finally became convinced that he would never be as good as Yoshino and thought that it was time for him to give up. He did not listen any more and went directly to the piano room. After being silent for a long time, he started to play the song.

"Sonata for the Handstand Girl".

He plans to play until he makes a mistake, because dreams are just dreams after all...

For a moment, the whole world stopped again, but Kuroki looked out the window in astonishment, where Yoshino was standing upside down in mid-air. She was halfway through the competition when she suddenly stopped playing, and then sat in front of the piano in silence for a long time.

He got up and left, went to the roof of the building, and jumped down directly.

Yoshino stood upside down in mid-air and was surprised. He looked at Kuroki in front of the piano and asked, "Why?"

Why didn't I die?

Kuroki was also very confused. He didn't dare to stop playing and asked, "Why?"

You have talents that others can only dream of, why should you give up on yourself?

Yoshino's pretty face showed a beautiful smile that he had never seen before: "I have wanted to end it all for a long time. My talent has only brought me pain. My whole life, I have been forced to practice the piano. Apart from practicing the piano, I

I'm tired from practicing piano and I want to end it all."

…………

The script has only been written to this point, and Michiko has only seen it, but she very much doubts that the heroine Yoshino is based on her. She has been forced to start acting since she was three years old, from the kindergarten stage to the current photography.

shed.

At the beginning, she enjoyed it and felt proud of her mother's praise. But as her mother's eyes became brighter and brighter, she became more and more strict with her, including continuous physical classes and vocal music classes.

, voice training, acting classes, talent classes, dance classes, a lot of unbearably boring body management and appearance management, she felt a little overwhelmed and felt very tired.

It's okay if you're just physically tired, gritting your teeth may not mean you can't persevere, but you still have to smile at every stranger, act cute, keep up your appearance, follow your mother to ask for help, endure her mother's complaints when she can't find opportunities, and slow down.

It's slow and my heart is tired.

She began to hope to end this kind of life, but then she unexpectedly got the opportunity to audition. She tried her best to pretend to be stupid, hoping that if she failed a few times, her mother would be discouraged and give up, and not always think about sending her away.

When acting in TV series or movies, don't always think about making her famous and allowing her to start living a normal life. But her first attempt failed and was ruined by Chihara Rinto. Chihara Rinto kept pestering her, causing her to drag her mother in.

He didn't succeed by pretending to be stupid, and fell short immediately.

She felt that Qianhara Rinto had ruined her life, or at least was an accomplice in ruining her life!

Now, when she was wandering around unintentionally, she discovered that Chihara Rinto had written her pain into the script... To be honest, she felt very uncomfortable, and she even hated the man in front of her!

but……

Chihara Rinto was actually wronged. He is a very planned person. "Sonata for the Handstand Girl" was already in his plan. This is also an episode of "Wonderful Stories of the World", but he changed it

After a while, I erased the "future technology" involved.

This can only be said to be a coincidence. When he was making plans before, he never thought that such a thing would happen in reality. Art comes from life, and life is sometimes more outrageous than art. It really makes people speechless.

He was silent for a while and said seriously to Miqianzi: "This script really has nothing to do with you. I didn't mean to insinuate you, but I know what you are angry about... I just did what I should do. If you don't want to participate,

, you should have a good talk with your mother instead of just venting your anger on me."

Michiko looked up at him and asked calmly: "When you were ten years old, could you object to your parents' decision?"

Chihara Rinto was stunned and speechless. If children can oppose their parents' decisions, then elementary and junior high schools must lose at least half of their students. Not many children who like to study love to play.

He sighed and said helplessly: "I can't, then I think I should say...I'm sorry, I didn't see it at the time. If I had seen it, I wouldn't call you back again."

Miqianzi didn't seem to expect that he would apologize directly. Her resentment subsided a little, and she slowly shook her head and said: "You can't change anything by apologizing. Her plan has taken a big step forward."

"Have you tried talking about it? Have you tried... to resist?"

"I have, but it's useless. She wanted to be a star when she was young, but she didn't succeed. Now I am her tool to realize her dream. She will not give up easily. She has invested too much and can't look back.

"Meiqianzi's little face was full of melancholy, showing a maturity far beyond her age: "As for resistance, how should I resist? Cry and make a fuss? That can only lead to stricter control, more study classes, and

I don’t want to get beaten again.”

"Have you thought about legal means? I remember that Japan has a family court, right?"

"Then she was deprived of custody and I was sent to an orphanage?" Michiko had a calm expression on her face and a very calm tone. She didn't look like a little girl in her early teens at all. She said softly: "Or maybe I was banned from acting.

?Then how will she treat me? She thinks she is doing it for my own good, and I should be extremely grateful!"

Qianhara Rinto was once again speechless. Some things were simple just to think about, but when it came to actual operation, they were full of dilemmas. Now she was in a very bad situation, but she really started to resist. Maybe she just changed from a bad to a bad

Another kind of bad, still bad.

He pondered for a moment and said no more nonsense. It seemed that he could not help with this matter. This was a family matter, and it was difficult for an honest official to deal with it, let alone him.

He fell silent, and Miqianzi also lost interest in continuing the conversation. She turned around and was about to leave. Her aura was very depressed despite her young age, and her whole person felt gray. However, she took two steps, hesitated, and turned around again.

Asked: "The heroine, that Yoshino, did she finally...finally succeed in committing suicide?"

Qianhara Rinto was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat. Didn't you start imitating the script after reading it? He couldn't help but ask: "What do you want the ending to be?"

Michiko stayed for a while and slowly shook her head: "I don't know, aren't you a screenwriter? It's up to you to decide her fate."

Qianyuan Rinto looked down at her. She used to have a pair of big, pure eyes, but now there was only confusion in her eyes...

She is actually in a lot of pain, right? She is in pain and unable to change anything, so she is even more miserable?

Premature maturity is really not a good thing...

He thought for a moment, handed her the half-written script, and said with a smile: "Then I'll give this to you. Write your own ending. You can at least make a decision for Yoshino's life."

He was careless at the time, otherwise he would never force a child to do something she doesn't want to do. This goes against his principles as a human being, so this can be regarded as a compensation gift. Although it is useless, there is only so much he can do.

If he was asked to persuade Nannan Liangzi, what stance should he take to persuade him?

Michiko looked at the script and then at Rinto Chihara. She was silent for a long time, then slowly reached out and took the script, then turned around and walked away.
