A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

After a round of speeches and small talk, Jiang Shuming organized a performance for everyone.

The third floor of the restaurant is reserved for private use. It has good sound insulation and high privacy. There are two stages in the spacious hall. One is an antique stage, where people usually play the guzheng, and the other is a modern stage with appropriate size and design. It’s exquisite and doesn’t look out of place with the environment.

The dining table was removed by the waiter, and more than twenty people in the room were sitting loosely drinking tea, motivating each other to perform like a company annual meeting.

There are pretty good equipment on the stage, plus speakers and projection screens, so you can sing karaoke on a whim. Cen Yisui generously picked up the microphone and sang a classic old song amid the cheers.

This song is so popular that even Lin Xiaohan, the youngest in the group, can hum a few lines along with it. As Cen Yi sings, it becomes a chorus, and the atmosphere becomes lively.

Qi Qingyuan came on stage and performed a boxing match with great strength. Lao Qian fought with him a few times, and everyone was delighted; the deputy director and screenwriter took Jiang Shuming and sang the university's school song together; several people from the camera crew acted It was a short comedy, and the lighting team improvised the lighting underneath, making it stylish and full of laughter; Xu Qiushi stood on the stage and showed off his face, and played a Peking Opera excerpt; in the end, Zhao Shujing borrowed the pipa from the restaurant, A Suzhou Pingtan was performed, and Wu Nong's soft words made people's hearts calm.

Qin Jue held the guitar and walked onto the stage with Lin Xiaohan.

"Hey, come prepared!" Cen Yi said with a smile.

"Director Jiang has already given instructions. If we juniors don't need snacks, it would be unreasonable." Qin Jue devalued himself as a junior and said with a smile.

Lin Xiaohan sat in front of the electric piano. Qin Jue handed the pre-recorded pad sounds to Zhang Ming to play in the background. He held the guitar and sat on a high stool with a microphone stand in front of him.

"Not bad, not bad, the momentum is great." Cen Yi smiled again. He knew that Qin Jue was still live broadcasting on Vbo a few days ago, making various appearances.

Qin Jue closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and recalled his original intention of choosing this song.

She calmed down and said:

"Today's song "Youth" is dedicated to everyone on the "Cage" crew.

“Thank you so much for the good way.”

She nodded to Lin Xiaohan and Zhang Ming. Lin Xiaohan raised and lowered his hands, and the soft sound of the piano sounded.

Qin Jue held the microphone with both hands and sang:

"Sometimes I think too far,

“Where I am in life many years later.

"Every lovely face in front of you,

"There will be a tomorrow for them."

She caught a glimpse of Lin Xiaohan and Zhang Ming from the corner of her eye. Their expressions were slightly nervous, but they were both smiling.

“Nothing is inevitable without saying goodbye.”

The filming of "The Cage" is over. The three months of joint efforts and every moment we spent together have become memories.

She looked at Cen Yi, Qi Qingyuan, and Jiang Shuming.

"Sometimes I feel a little tired."

Cen Yi, who was already a front-line actor, gritted his teeth and broke through his comfort zone.

“Realizing your dreams turns out to be not the end.”

Qi Qingyuan, who wanted to appear in the movie, suddenly achieved his goal, feeling happy but at a loss.

“I have walked a long, long way with my head held high,

"Going wild at the end of the world,

"But I miss my original youth."

Jiang Shuming, who has made many bad commercial films and made a lot of money, has regained his original intention.

“Some people don’t see each other anymore.”

The necklace around Zhang Ming's neck swayed gently with the sway of his body.

"Some dreams have faded."

Qin Jue's admission notice from Beijing University of the Arts was lying in the trash can.

"I sing every song,

“Happiness retained.”

Even so, she could still close her eyes and immerse herself in the music during the V blog live broadcast.

“Some roads require hard walking.”

Zhao Shujing faced overwhelming malicious speculation and rumors until the show was withdrawn and left.

"Some wounds take life to heal..."

Qi Qingyuan had several scars left by plastic surgery on his face and below his ears.

"I can still smile and live."

Qin Jue slowly smiled brightly.

“Sometimes tragedy happens again.

"It seems that humans are always making mistakes."

Jiang Qiuyue's hysterical face was still vivid in her mind.

"Time tests the depth of love,

"Want to prove that nothing changes."

The gentle and generous Cen Yi forcibly awakened his ambition for the sake of his family;

After Jiang Shuming made quick money, he recalled that he was still a filmmaker;

Xu Qiushi, who has stayed in the circle for many years, is getting older;

Zhao Shujing has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, and her temperament has gradually become calm and tranquil.

"Change is a constant."

Amidst Lin Xiaohan's soothing piano sound, Qin Jue's guitar sound sounded.

The violin and keyboard chords in the pads gently follow up, forming a harmonious melody that gradually builds to a climax.

"Some people don't see each other anymore,

"Some dreams have been forgotten.

"I sing every song,

“Happiness retained.

"There are some roads where you walk hard,

“Some wounds take life to heal.

"I can still smile and live."

The expressions of people on stage and off stage were different. Some were entranced, some were emotional, some were lost in thoughts, and some had red eyes.

Qin Jue's tone was low and soft, but the timbre had a clear and soothing quality to it. She looks young, but her temperament and singing voice are filled with a hint of relief after vicissitudes of life, like an old man nearly fifty years old, singing with emotion after experiencing the world of mortals.

“Sometimes it’s too late to settle,

“Time always runs ahead of the soul.

"Fortunately, I still have a little faith,

“Walk us through each day.

"Don't forget the boy in your heart——"

She sang softly to the sound of the violin:

"Running brave..."

The melody gradually stops, and after a brief pause it becomes passionate, but the passion is also bright and gentle, and has an inspiring power.

"oh……"

After the wordless singing, Qin Jue leaned toward the microphone and closed his eyes.

"The first, boy."

The tail notes of various instruments melted into the air little by little, and a gentle kiss fell on the corners of her slightly raised lips.

Qin Jue opened his eyes.

On the stage, the two children Lin Xiaohan and Zhang Ming had a slight confusion on their faces and the joy of successfully completing the performance; off the stage, she met the eyes of Jiang Shuming, Cen Yi, Qi Qingyuan, and Zhao Shujing in turn, and found that everyone A pair of eyes filled with content just like her own.

In the quiet atmosphere, Xu Qiushi gently clapped his hands.

"What a great song "Youth"."

Qin Jue smiled, took off his guitar and put it aside, and stood up and bowed with Lin Xiaohan.

There were no cheers or whistles, just crisp clapping and fingertips quietly wiping the corners of the eyes.

Amidst the applause, Qin Jue breathed out a sigh of relief.

This song "Youth" is sung to everyone, but also to herself.

From now on, she, the nineteen-year-old Qin Jue, is not pretending to show off to others, nor is she forcibly integrating into society to become a normal person, but is truly reborn, transformed, and returns as a teenager.

She had a sudden impulse and did so.

Qin Jue rushed off the stage in two or two steps, bowed deeply to Jiang Shuming, then rushed to the side and gave Cen Yi a strong hug.

Cen Yi laughed loudly, rubbed her head and said:

"This is like a child!"

Qin Jue smiled and avoided his hand.

"Brother Cen, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Don't you think of me as your son? It's so strange."

"Ignore him, he is looking for experience in advance!" Jiang Shuming couldn't stop laughing.

The place suddenly became lively, as if the drinks on the dinner table suddenly changed. Everyone was laughing and joking, teacups and drinks clinked together. No one cared whether it was weird or not. It seemed that everyone, old and new, was here. They melted together in an instant, incomparably harmonious and natural, with no trace of dissonance.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you "The Cage"!"

After Jiang Shuming finished speaking with red eyes, he raised the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

On Qin Jue's left was Cen Yi and on his right was Lin Xiaohan, both of whom were smiling.

Her hands clinked glasses randomly in many hands, and no one paid attention to the height of the cup.

Lin Xiaohan drank all the orange juice, and Qin Jue drank the coke in one sip.

She suddenly discovered that Feizhai Happy Water was really happy.
