In fact, I am attacking [entertainment circle]

At the end of the year, Gu Ling was basically out of work. Since he didn't like to go out, he played games at home every day, and even changed from playing mobile games to playing computer games.Qi Yi works too much every day, not to mention going on a date, and there is no time to meet Gu Ling, the two of them can only chat on the phone or send messages.

"You are considered a traffic artist now, of course you will be busy, and you will be fine after a few years."

When Gu Ling was talking on the phone with Qi Yi wearing earphones, while sitting in front of the computer and playing Resident Evil, he even knocked out a small zombie rushing over the screen, with a very relaxed tone.

Qi Yi inexplicably sensed a class difference between "traffic" and "strength" from Gu Ling's leisure, and asked on the other end of the phone, "Why is it better after a few years?"

Gu Ling manipulated the character to synthesize herbs in the safe house, and replied in an unchanging tone: "You will transform in a few years, but it is more likely that you are too old. Retire at the age of 30. Are you looking forward to it?"

"what???"

When Qi Yi suddenly made a loud noise, Gu Ling just manipulated the character to turn a corner and met a little boss named "Tyrant". , just turned around to avoid the attack and hid in the next room, then released the mouse and put down the earphone again to listen to Qi Yi's speech.

"It's too early to retire at the age of 30. I'd better try to make my career as an artist last longer, or will I have to rely on Brother Gu to support me in the future?"

Gu Ling couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "What's the matter, although I'm not a person who loves work, but the savings over the years are more than enough to support ten of you."

Qi Yi immediately asked: "Why do you have to raise ten, one is not enough, and you don't want to play football."

"...Why are you jealous in such an inexplicable place, the other nine you don't exist at all." Gu Ling could almost imagine Qi Yi's aggrieved expression, and smiled helplessly, "I want you This one, okay? I can’t take any more.”

After chatting for a few more words, Qi Yi's rest time was over, so he could only hang up the phone.Gu Ling continued to fight the zombies in front of the computer, while Qi Yi continued to practice dancing.

Qi Yi was going to participate in the New Year's Eve party at the TV station and perform new songs, so after he left the crew, apart from participating in some endorsement activities, he spent all his time learning songs and dancing.It took him a lot of effort to memorize the lyrics and dance movements, but he just memorized it. Whether the effect of the performance is good is another matter.

The ratings of this TV station are very high. If the performance fails at the party, I don’t know how many hot searches will be hacked. Sister Mo said that there are some things that need to be tried, so she hired a new teacher for Qi Yi.

Qi Yi went to the teacher's dance practice room by car. He thought that Sister Mo hired an ordinary dance teacher, but he was shocked when he saw the teacher himself, with words written all over his face—is this okay? !

The teacher's name is Lin Yuqing, and he was one of the mentors of Qi Yi's boy group show when he debuted. He was a popular idol at the time, but later he completely transformed and bid farewell to traffic and became a music producer. Great music, got married when everyone was caught off guard, and now maybe...

Qi Yi calculated Lin Yuqing's age silently in his heart, and thought anxiously, is Mr. Lin thirty now?Is it still a little short, when I reach his age and still achieve nothing, don't really want to retire.

After the two parties finished greeting and exchanged a few words, Lin Yuqing took Qi Yi to his practice room, and Qi Yi followed behind, looking left and right, and finally his gaze fell behind Lin Yuqing, a little curious: "Mr. Lin, it turns out that besides making music, you Do you still teach others as a teacher?"

"Usually it's inappropriate." Lin Yuqing looked back at him and smiled, "But I also participated in the production of your song, sending Buddha to the west, if you don't behave well, it will be ruined. "

Qi Yi wanted to cry but had no tears: "...I'm really sorry."

After arriving at the place, Lin Yuqing patted him on the shoulder and asked him to enter the classroom: "Don't be sorry, just practice. I'm not a Bodhisattva, of course, there is a fee, so don't be too polite."

Then Qi Yi started devil training from then on. He always thought that Lin Yuqing was a talkative person, but he didn't expect that he was much stricter than his previous teacher.Once, after Qi Yi danced for a while, he was so tired that he lay down on the ground rather than die, but Lin Yuqing took out his mobile phone and took a picture of him, gloating at his misfortune.

"Mr. Lin, what are you doing?" Qi Yi was weak, complaining like a baby.

Lin Yuqing squatted beside him: "Send it to my wife to see how embarrassing you are."

Qi Yi was silent for half a second, and complained: "Ms. He likes me very much, she will scold you."

Lin Yuqing sneered: "If she scolds me, I will torture you."

"..."

Qi Bai couldn't figure it out: "Mr. Lin, has your personality changed?"

Lin Yuqing put away her mobile phone, and said in a natural tone: "After you get married, you will know that when two people live together, one of them will change, either she will change or you will change. I am not willing to let her change, so I had to change myself."

After hearing this, Qi Yi's expression changed, and he immediately sat up.

Lin Yuqing was curious: "what's the matter with you?"

Qi Yi winked and put on an awkward expression, and his tone was joking: "I haven't been fed dog food for a long time, and I feel a little acid in my stomach."

"..." Lin Yuqing got up, opened the chair and sat next to the electronic piano, pointed to the empty seat in front, "Then you may not be tired, come over and sing a few words to find a tune, and I will let you go to eat."

"This score is almost engraved into my DNA." Qi Yichang sighed, and sat in front of the piano with the lyrics. Seeing Lin Yuqing skillfully adjusting the tone, he suddenly became curious and asked in front of the piano, "However, Mr. Lin, Why do you write and make music for others now, but don’t sing it yourself?”

Lin Yuqing thought for a while, and said: "Eating is fun, and cooking is also fun. I prefer 'production' now. If I want to 'perform' in the future, I will sing."

"and……"

Qi Yi thought he was going to give a serious reason: "And what?"

Lin Yuqing covered her face and showed a sweet smirk: "And I'm married, how can I show my face in public? What if I'm caught by girls outside? It's so dangerous."

Qi Yi: "..."

- Goosebumps, I'm getting goosebumps.

This person's personality has completely changed!Is this the terrible thing about marrying a woman? Zhou Xingyun won't be like this in the future, and I always feel that if Zhou Xingyun marries a woman, he will be the one to have children. It's quite appropriate to think this way.After Qi Yi's thoughts diverged infinitely and started to think wildly, he couldn't help thinking about Zhou Xingyun's pregnancy appearance, and then laughed out loud.

Lin Yuqing:?

Zhou Xingyun, who was far away from the city, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

There are only a few days left before the final performance stage, Qi Yi really feels hard.At night, he lay on the bed and called Gu Ling to act like a baby, saying that he was so tired, trying to get some sweet words to comfort him.

Gu Ling sighed: "I'm so tired too, I've fought this boss fifteen times, and I haven't beaten it yet."

"..." Qi Yiyi didn't know whether Gu Ling was comforting him in a miserable way, or showing off that he played games every day, paused for a while, and said in a daze, "Then, is this game too difficult?" ?”

"Ah, yes, it's too difficult. I shouldn't have chosen the highest difficulty..."

Gu Ling seemed to be a little passionate, his tone changed from laziness, and he said a lot. Qi Yi didn't play games, so he couldn't understand what he was talking about at all. Wondering: handicapped?Disabled...?Brother Gu has healthy and slender fingers, why should he curse himself.

Gu Ling talked for a long time, and found that Qi Yi didn't respond, so he reacted in annoyance, thinking that he shouldn't comfort Qi Yi, why did he talk about himself, and quickly apologized: "I seem to be too excited to talk too much,... ...Did you work hard today, how did you practice?"

"It's okay." Qi Yi turned around, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, couldn't help smiling, and his expression stretched, "I'm... quite happy to hear that Brother Gu can tell me about himself. The feeling that I am your 'one of your own'..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yi felt ashamed, and his ears were so proficient that it could be classified as one of his traditional arts.

Gu Ling was silent on the other side of the phone for a moment, then laughed softly.As soon as Qi heard Gu Ling laughing, he felt even more embarrassed, and then he heard Gu Ling start to intensify: "Of course you are my own, in order to deepen your impression, do you want to call me husband?"

Qi Yi sat up angrily, "Brother Gu!"

Gu Ling seemed to have seen the cat blowing hair, and quickly said, "You are quite energetic, well, I am teasing you."

"..." Qi Yi bit his lip and lay back with a blushing face.

Gu Ling paused for a moment, then couldn't help but continue: "But I really want to hear it, why don't you shout?"

Qi Yi stammered: "I, I..."

I can't hold a fart for a long time.

Gu Ling sneered: "Forget it, I'll make a request when your skin grows thicker."

……

During the day, Qi Yi lay down tired again during practice, and Lin Yuqing shook his head beside him and sighed: "You are too clumsy, why can't you meet my requirements."

Qi Yiyi squatted in the corner of the wall like ashes, feeling as if his soul was about to come out of his mouth: "Don't ask me with your demands, can you and I be the same kind of person as Mr. Lin..."

Lin Yuqing rubbed his chin: "If it's Meng Jiao and Yunxi's... Forget it, they rely on talent, and you can't do it anyway."

Qi Yi sat by the wall, raised his head and let out a long sigh, looked up at Lin Yuqing, and asked, "Mr. Lin, what did you think when you were singing and dancing on stage?"

"I recall memories..." Lin Yuqing drank water, sat down in front, and said without changing his face, "Probably, 'I'm so powerful', 'I'm so handsome' or something like that."

"..." Qi Yi complained silently, "I can't tell, are you so narcissistic in your heart?"

Lin Yuqing: "No matter who it is, they should be happy when they are performing on stage."

Qi Yi shook his head: "No, I've never been happy, I'm scared every time I go on stage."

Lin Yuqing became cold in a second: "Oh, that's normal, after all, you are a foodie."

Qi Yi: "..."

Lin Yuqing smiled between helplessness and hatred, and said seriously: "When I was performing on stage, I liked a moment very much, that is, when all the lights on the stage were dimmed, you could only see the auditorium. The sea of ​​lights and shouts. In fact, sometimes my eyes are dazzled, and I can’t even read the words on the lights clearly, and I can’t hear what the audience is shouting, but I can clearly and truly feel the audience’s emotions being mobilized by the performance. , and the surrounding temperature is also very hot.”

"In everyone's life, everyone has their own troubles, but at that moment, everyone is happy. If you are on stage, you can definitely feel it."

Qi Yi hugged his legs and thought for a moment, put his chin on his knees, and said in a low voice: "Whether you can feel it or not is another matter, but this time I am not afraid of this stage, I want to stand up quickly and finish the performance, so that Free yourself."

He lowered his head, sighed softly, and thought to himself, he didn't stand on the stage by virtue of interest or talent. For a mortal like him, repeated practice and muscle memory can only be hard work.

He felt he was in a predicament.Since he was a child, there have been many things that he was not good at but had to do. He worked hard and earnestly, but he couldn't get results, even now, it is still the same.This predicament had already existed for a long time when Qi Yi realized it.

On New Year's Eve, Gu Ling still stayed at home. In fact, he was invited to many shows before, but he really didn't want to go, so he refused them all.Because he knew that Qi Yi would attend the New Year's Eve party, Gu Ling turned on the TV early, wrapped himself in pajamas and slumped on the sofa with an air-conditioning quilt, stepped on the foot warmer to warm up, and played with his mobile phone, just like a retired veteran cadre.

Xu Qing went to Gu Ling's house for New Year's Eve, and was used to seeing him half asleep on the sofa.He lifted one side of the quilt and sat next to him, and couldn't help asking: "I think it's still..."

"Don't turn on the air conditioner." Gu Ling already knew what he would say, "I'm so bored."

Xu Qing sighed: "That's how you treat the guests."

Gu Ling raised one eye and glanced: "I didn't invite you, why don't you go back."

"My family is urging me to go on a blind date again. It's annoying." Xu Qing also slumped on the sofa with Gu Ling, watching the commercial on TV, "You're staying with your little boyfriend."

Gu Ling: "Yes."

Xu Qing suddenly had a low tone, leaned over and asked, "You slept with him and haven't touched him for half a month, really?"

"..." Gu Ling's hands froze, thinking that some assistant had slipped his tongue, and his tone was calm, "Yeah, what's the matter, can't I be a gentleman?"

Xu Qing blinked: "If you don't have a set, I'll send it to you."

Gu Ling was speechless: "No, I don't want to be in such a hurry, he is willing to do this kind of thing."

Xu Qing said: "I can bear this, can you do it?"

Gu Ling became impatient: "Aren't you arguing? People don't only rely on their lower body to function. People have brains, okay? The brain is the one that sends orders. When you have to hold back, you can hold back anyway. Say hold back." It’s all excuses.”

"Okay, okay, don't be so excited." Xu Qing was a little scared, and went to eat sunflower seeds silently beside her.

Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down to see a message from Qi Yi on the phone.

[Qi Yi: There are so many audiences, it's scary! 】

Gu Ling immediately typed in: [Don't be nervous! 】

Stop in time before sending, delete the exclamation point, and change it to: [Don't be nervous. 】

Be elegant, reserved, and have the bearing of a young man.

Qi Yi was in the background, and after receiving Gu Ling's reply, he was thinking whether he should continue to say something, when he saw Gu Ling sent another long message.

[Gu Ling: You have been practicing for so long, you will definitely be able to perform well. 】

[Gu Ling: When I was in college, I was studying Sixiu. In materialist dialectics, I said that there is a law of quantitative change and qualitative change. The development of any thing must first start with quantitative change. Without a certain degree of quantitative accumulation, there can be no change in the nature of things. Quantitative changes will inevitably develop into qualitative changes. 】

【Qi Yi: ... I didn't finish high school. 】

[Gu Ling: ...]

[Gu Ling: That means, you can do it. 】

At this time, the assistant ran over and said something to Qi Yi, and Qi Yi typed to Gu Ling: [I seem to know someone here, I'll go say hello first. 】

It's an acquaintance, and it's an acquaintance I haven't seen for a long time.

"Brother Meng!" Qi Yi quickly ran over to say hello, happily unable to find Bei, "Are you also on this stage?"

"The performance list has been released, haven't you watched it?" Meng Jiao smiled and patted Qi Yi's shoulder, "You still haven't changed much."

Qi Yi asked, "When will you be on stage?"

Meng Jiao shrugged: "A few in front of you."

Qi Yi was puzzled: "Hey, did the planner not let you have the finale?"

"I want to leave early and let them advance my show." Meng Jiao said softly, "You're going to be on stage alone this time. How about it? Are you ready?"

Qi Yi laughed at himself: "After watching you, the audience must think I'm worse."

"..."

Meng Jiao was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped Qi Yi's back hard, scaring him out of his wits.

"Cheer up." Meng Jiao smiled, his eyes bright, "I'll help you light the scene, and when it's your turn, let's set off the fireworks happily."

"fireworks."

Qi Yi raised his head and saw the crowds of people and the bright flames, only to realize that he and Meng Jiao had already walked to the guest seat.

"Little Brother Meng." Qi Yi turned his head and looked at the stage not far in front of him. It looked so wide up close, but surrounded by tens of thousands of auditoriums, it was so small that he could have a panoramic view.

"In the past, the six of us would perform here every year. I still remember that when the New Year's bell rang, many, many ribbons would be scattered on the stage."

Meng Jiao looked at the stage, his eyes were dim for a while, and all the light was completely hidden, like a peaceful pool.

"Qi Yi, I'm very busy now, every day." He said slowly, "I don't have time to recall the past."

People have the instinct of nostalgia for the past, and the only way to hinder this instinct is to not leave time.

"No Time To Leave", this is the title of the song Meng Jiao sang after he took the stage, and this is his new single released this year.The song is as its name suggests, the rhythm is a bit fast rock, if Qi Yi went to sing, he might not find time to catch his breath, but Meng Jiao sang very steadily.

Some people leave no time and pretend to be calm.

Emotions run wild in disaster.

You say fly, fly, and then summer turns into winter in an instant.

No one sings the same as anyone who walks.

My dreams are empty.

……

Qi Yi watched Meng Jiao's performance from the audience, while the audience behind him were screaming and clamoring.Listening to the lyrics is obviously not a happy song, but the emotions are not depressing. Perhaps rock and roll sounds more high-spirited by nature. Such negative lyrics just sang a kind of heroism against the world, and even the audience was gradually excited. stand up.

When Qi Yi heard the last word, he suddenly smiled knowingly.Sister Mo sat next to him, thinking that the child's self-esteem had been stimulated by seeing a good performance, so she hurriedly cared for him: "Are you okay, don't panic, although your singing is definitely not as good as his, but hold on state of mind."

"It's nothing, it's just that I think..." Qi Yi's eyes were full of the light reflected by the stage, and his smile was very frank, "I always thought that the stage is a field that I'm not good at, so I always take it very openly, but sure enough, even if it's like A person like me who knows mediocre abilities will still feel envious from the bottom of his heart when he sees other people's performances so well."

"...It's not a bad thing to feel envious." Little Miss Mo silently turned her head, "At least it's much better than passively fighting."

……

After Meng Jiao finished singing, the fans burst into screams.

Qi Yi was taken backstage to wait. The sound insulation in the backstage was better than expected, and the sound from the auditorium went away for a while, like the tide of the sea was ebbing.

He was finally able to calm down and think about something carefully.

The stage is indeed an area he is not good at, but he has paid so much, there is absolutely no reason to back down.

He is a person with mediocre talents, but if he himself feels that he is not qualified to stand on the stage, then no one else will give him more courage in the future.

The host had already started to announce the curtain, Qi Yi took off his warm jacket, tidied up his clothes, and then adjusted the headset in the background.

The headset is ok, he gestured to the staff.

The backup dancers are all in place.

He clutched his heart, aware of its pounding.

I am still alive, and very vividly.

The stage lights have gone out.

He walked up, facing a sea of ​​lights like mountains and waves, and it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing.

It's a cold wind. After all, it's winter. There's even an open area in this venue. Is this a new design? It's completely unnecessary.

Before the music started, Qi Yi found that he was still in the mood to complain, and couldn't help feeling that he was really leisurely.

The stage lights suddenly turned on, the music started, and the fans' shouts seemed to open some valve, pouring out in an uproar with great momentum.

You guys are working so hard.Qi Yi looked in the direction of the fans, smiled, and started singing silently.

The first sentence didn't go out of tune, it seems that the state is not bad.

There was a flash of surprise in Qi's eyes, and then he continued to perform.To his surprise, he found that he was more relaxed than he imagined, probably because he practiced continuously for a long time before, his muscle memory stopped at a peak just right, and his dance movements became much smoother.

"I calculate the ordinary addition and subtraction, imagining the boundlessness of the sky and the sky."

The sound of the stage was very loud, and Qi Yi also sang very hard. He felt that he was in the hot center, radiating temperature to the surroundings like water waves.In fact, he couldn't see anyone in the auditorium clearly, but the shaking colorful lights and intermittent shouts gave him the illusion that the world was revolving around him.

So many pairs of eyes, so many pairs of raised hands.

"Wonderful—"

A lot of cheering people.

"Infinity-"

He raised his voice, and he followed the dance movements with a finger in the air, freezing a picture, looking along the fingertips, his eyes were full of the broken light of the stage, it was a pond cleared by the moonlight, bright and clear.

After the accumulation of the previous rounds of programs, the emotions of the audience finally overflowed the embankment at this moment, flooding the entire venue like a torrential flood. Everyone cheered unrestrainedly, as if they had abandoned reality and fell into a pure and happy state of mind. in the mood.

The hardships of life are continuous, but as long as there is this moment of unrequited happiness, it is considered to have been to heaven.

Is this lighting up the fireworks?

At the end of the song, Qi Yi panted with his head up on the stage, watching the mist wrap around the stage.

He was in a difficult situation, but at this moment, a ray of light suddenly shone through the mist.

Before the host could speak, suddenly many voices shouted: "It's snowing!"

Everyone raised their eyes and found that it was really snowing. In the open air of the venue, a lot of fine snow drifted in. Under the brilliance of the night sky and lights, it looked like stars slanting down from the Milky Way.

Qi Yi looked at the stars falling in the distance, and suddenly became enlightened.
