In Jiang Xun's monitoring headphones, Shi An's singing always leaked out a trace of uncontrollable vibrato.
Jiang Xun knew that it was not a technical mistake, but an emotional breakaway.
For four years, he could hear the unspoken emotions in every song of Shi An's singing.
In front of the screen, they are recognized as a tacit partner in the music industry——
They responded tacitly in front of the camera and cooperated perfectly on stage.
Everyone believes in the official slogan: "each other's most trusted musical partner."
But the truth is hidden in those gaps that no one knows about:
Those brief notes about Shi An in the corner of Jiang Xun's staff book, the unfinished song between the two, are like some kind of unresolved emotion between them.
Until the backstage footage of an overseas tour was accidentally leaked.
In the "surveillance" footage, Shi An had just stepped off the stage for only a minute. The sweat on his forehead was still falling. He turned around and snuggled into the arms of Jiang Xun, who was sitting in the corner of the lounge playing with his mobile phone. His voice was hoarse due to the long performance: "Teacher Jiang, I can't act anymore."
And Jiang Xun, who was always told by insiders that he didn't like to talk about work accidents, who was said to be mysophobic and hated other people's physical contact with him, actually laughed.
He raised his hand, ran his knuckles through Shi An's sweaty hair, and pressed the back of his neck habitually.
"Then," he said, "just don't act."
In an instant, the iceberg cracked and the sun set.
It wasn't until later that fans started to show up in invisible corners.
Every arrangement Jiang Xun wrote for Shi An was written piece by piece according to Shi An's voice. It was not because Shi An sang well that he sang it for him, but because he should have sung it in the first place.
On the back of all Shi'an's lyrics manuscripts, there is the same line of very small handwriting: "Let Jiang Xun listen to each version first."
This is a silent confession hidden in the melody that lasted four years.
Those suppressed, entangled, and pending emotions——
Finally found the melody that broke through the ground.
During a live broadcast of an awards ceremony, the host asked: "It's still an old question. After so many years as partners, has your definition of your relationship changed at all?"
Shi An faced the camera, but looked at Jiang Xun beside him: "They are each other's charging station."
Jiang Xun was silent for three seconds.
Then he picked up the microphone and said to the world:
"Partner, partner, confidant."
After a pause, he added another sentence, very softly but clearly:
"And, my partner."
Concept: Love is to see the other person's most vulnerable vulnerability and then say: "I'll take it. You can do it, just be yourself."
