Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng

Ling Xi's itinerary for the day was to do an interview with a music entertainment journal. Although the magazine followed the low-end route, it had a large circulation and was extremely influential among the student population. Singers of all sizes paid much attention to it.

During the competition, this magazine also published relevant reports about the players, but they all appeared in the form of news and group portraits. It was the first time that someone was invited to do an exclusive interview like this, especially if the topic was skipped. It is a little surprising that the champion and runner-up of the competition directly found Ling Xi, the No.3.

Because the interview is mainly for the fan group, the content is much more relaxed and casual than other interviews. It is nothing more than sharing some interesting stories during the game, talking about the understanding of music, and answering a few gossip questions that fans are more concerned about.Tianxing has exclusive publicity assigned to Ling Xi, so he doesn’t need to worry about communicating with the editor at all, and he can speak freely according to his own will when accepting text interviews, even if there are occasional inappropriate places, don’t be afraid, anyway, there is publicity Personnel checks later.As for taking pictures, due to lack of experience, Ling Xi will inevitably look jerky and stiff when facing the camera. Fortunately, his facial features are exquisite and his skin is fair. In his own words, "neither pick angles nor retouch the pictures", so after negotiating with the photographer , everyone decided to give up posing for pictures, and went outdoors directly to take a few photos after the interview.

Regarding Ling Xi's appearance advantages and undisguised self-confidence, the editor specifically mentioned in the interview outline: "Ling Xi, before we met, I searched for your information on the Internet, and found that many people said that they liked you because of their looks. You, as a rookie singer, do you feel unhappy about this kind of evaluation? Or do you enjoy it when people say it?"

Ling Xi thought about it seriously for a while: "At first I was unhappy, I felt that my efforts were neglected, and I was a little hit, but I gradually accepted it. Whether it's because of my looks, my singing voice, or my way of life. As long as he really likes me and supports me, I am sincerely grateful." He spoke slowly, thinking about it as he spoke, "A man once told me that the reason why he was nice to me was because he cared about me. I help me and show up in time when I encounter difficulties, just because I look good when I smile. Now my thoughts have also changed. You see, no matter the voice or appearance, they are all gifts from God. They should be cherished doubly. If someone wants to appreciate your smile, they should smile more."

As he said this, he really bent his mouth and revealed a mischievous smile in the sun, with big and deep dimples, and shiny and neat teeth. The photographer quickly pressed the shutter to record this scene.

The editor got a satisfactory answer, but he refused to let him go easily, and seemed to want to make things difficult for him: "That's right, a high-quality appearance is definitely a plus in the entertainment circle. Have you ever thought about it, If you get older in the future, your skin will become wrinkled, and your figure will get fatter, and people may stop liking you, will you worry about this?"

Ling Xi blinked her big eyes a few times quickly, and said calmly, "The situation you mentioned is too far away, I don't think I need to think about this issue in 20 years."

The editor "hahaha" laughed: "You can try to think about it, didn't everyone say to 'plan for a rainy day'."

Ling Xi flattened her mouth disapprovingly: "Why do you want to 'plan ahead'? The fun of reading novels and watching movies is that you don't know how the next plot will develop, and the same is true in life. Who you meet, what happens, and who you fall in love with, that's all. They are all unpredictable and do not need to be expected. It is like the sun is shining outside today, and we can enjoy the sunshine when we go outdoors to take pictures later. Why worry about whether it will rain tomorrow when we are enjoying it? Even if it rains, You can also find the romance and fun of rainy days, such as Bergman directed "Love in the Rain."

After hearing these words, the editor was a little surprised by his state of mind and expressive ability: "I always thought you were a melancholy and taciturn person, and thought it would be difficult to do interviews for you, but now it seems that you are worrying too much. You and It looks really different on the outside, Teacher Ye's introduction is correct..."

Ling Xi frowned sensitively: "Which Teacher Ye?"

"Mr. Ye Ming Ye, you should be familiar with each other. I think he knows you very well. Last time we did an activity together, he specifically mentioned you." Halfway through the sentence, the editor suddenly noticed Ling Xi's expression. After reading something, he hurriedly explained, "Don't worry too much, it has nothing to do with Teacher Ye who invited you to do an interview, it's all because our readers have paid more attention to you recently."

It's okay if the editor doesn't explain, but once explained, it seems deliberate. There is no silver 300 taels here.Ling Xi is just confident, not arrogant. Compared with Cheng Che and Mu Xia, he does have more fans, but he can jump out of the small circle of contestants and compare with those singers who have actually released records and held concerts. , his attention is too insignificant, how can he affect the magazine's interview candidates?Rationally, he felt that Ye Ming was more or less responsible for getting this interview opportunity, but emotionally, he was really unwilling to associate his achievements with Ye Ming.

Afterwards, they talked about other topics all over the place. Ling Xi responded calmly and calmly. It was not until the interview came to an end that he pretended to ask casually: "By the way, he...Ye Ming said What happened to me?"

The editor did not suspect him, rolled his eyelids and recalled carefully: "Ms. Ye said you are a magical boy. At first glance, you seem mediocre, but the more you dig, the more interesting it becomes. It's like... yes, like that kind of cocktail with rich layers. , Different colors represent different tastes, one sip is one taste, another sip is another taste, and when all the wine is drunk, it will be a brand new taste in retrospect.”

Ling Xi snorted, and muttered softly: "Isn't Teacher Ye in music? When did you switch to wine tasting..."

The editor didn't hear clearly for a while: "What wine?"

"It's nothing." Ling Xi pursed her lips and smiled perfunctorily, not continuing the topic.

Since he was a child, he has already cultivated a special skill of "self-hypnosis". Those unpleasant things can be treated as never happened, and those who will cause harm can be treated as if they don't know each other at all. Only for Ye Ming , even if he doesn't want to, see, or touch, it still can't be completely erased from his life, after all, it was the man who brought him into this world.

Ling Xi is not sure whether Ye Ming suddenly changed his attitude towards him, or if he had a similar view before, but judging from that comment, Ye Ming may, may, probably tried to understand him, as to whether it is true Understand, it is not important anymore.

On the way to take pictures, his mind was full of messy thoughts, and as a result, he accidentally bumped into someone else's car in public.It is indeed a bit embarrassing to be ashamed, but at that time he was only concerned about the pain, and he didn't take this insignificant episode to heart. When he got busy later, he even threw away all the confusion Ye Ming brought. in the back of my head...

Whether it is big or small, Lidao is a place, and if you are in the entertainment industry, you will always meet sooner or later.Sure enough, not long after the magazine interview, Ling Xi met Ye Ming again.

The opportunity to meet came from a certain weekly TV program with the theme of film soundtrack. Ling Xi was a guest performer, and Ye Ming was one of the behind-the-scenes planners who came to visit the show.Each episode of the program will select some of the most representative films in ancient and modern China and abroad, and introduce the theme songs and soundtracks to the audience. At the same time, some film actors will be specially invited to talk about their unique feelings about music.It coincides with the first anniversary of the broadcast, and the program team wants to make a special episode of "Feelings". In addition to the usual guest lineup, they also plan to find singers to come and perform a few theme songs of classic movies live.

At first, the program group contacted two singer candidates, one was the popular male star A Jie, and the other was a newcomer to the music scene, Cheng Che, but A Jie declined due to the uncoordinated schedule.Knowing that the program team was looking for someone to replace A Jie, Cheng Che immediately recommended Ling Xi. He was afraid that the other party would ignore Ling Xi because he didn't understand him. over again.

Ling Xi and Cheng Che have different planning routes, different performance styles, and the fan base rarely overlaps. It is difficult to tell which is better, but Cheng Che is the champion of the singing competition, Ling Xi is only No.3, no matter who participates in the event The ranking at the time was still the degree of attention in front of the media. Cheng Che was obviously slightly higher, and most of the businessmen selected him as the first choice.Cheng Che is an optimistic and cheerful person with a pure heart. Not only has he never regarded Ling Xi as an opponent, but he will spare no effort to help promote Ling Xi and try his best to win more performance opportunities for Ling Xi.

Facts have proved that Cheng Che's "sales promotion" is very effective, and the directors quickly finalized Ling Xi's performance after watching the clips.Anyway, Ajie couldn't invite him, and there were still a lot of old actors supporting the ratings for the show that day, so it didn't matter if Ling Xi's fame was big or small.

Ling Xi himself cherishes this opportunity very much, and is also looking forward to cooperating with several respected old actors. As soon as he got the playlist, he actively prepared, and even made a new look for the show.Unexpectedly, just two days before the recording, A Jie's manager took the initiative to contact the program team, saying that because of temporary adjustments to other activities, A Jie had time to participate in the recording again.The program group decided to withdraw Ling Xi's announcement after weighing the two.

Cheng Che learned the news from Sheng Kuang by accident, and immediately went to the program crew, arguing to seek justice on Ling Xi's behalf.He grew up abroad and respected the spirit of the contract. He believed that since Ling Xi had devoted his time and energy to this program, the program team should not harm the interests of innocent people because of changes in their own plans.It's a pity that his method doesn't work. With the well-known influence in the entertainment industry, no one will take the time and energy of a small artist seriously.Seeing that the program crew could not be persuaded, Cheng Che's stubbornness also came up, and directly proposed that if the other party insisted on dismissing Ling Xi, then he would not continue to participate in the recording.

Cheng Che is not a big name, but suddenly it is not easy to find someone similar to replace him.Although the program team didn't like his approach very much, but time was tight, they had no choice but to make a compromise, agreed to keep Ling Xi, and added a guest spot, but the process remained basically the same, it was still Cheng Che's opening A Jie finale, Only giving Ling Xi the time for two songs in the middle, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his hard work for several days...

Previously, the program group had recruited guests and fans online to be spectators. All three fans had received free tickets, but it was only on the day of the recording that there was a miscommunication in the middle. The guests changed from two to three, but there were no seats for the audience. Change, that is to say, some people will be turned away and unable to enter the venue.Because Ling Xi came in late, and his status was not as good as that of A Jie and Cheng Che, the program team did not hesitate to cancel the quota of fans originally reserved for him.

Ling Xi's fans had a free ticket, but they could only stand outside the door and watch other brigades enter. They felt aggrieved, and they rushed to the security guards angrily and asked, "Why can they enter, but we can't?" Enter?"

The security guard said with a businesslike face, "They have tickets."

The fans waved their tickets in unison: "We also have the same tickets, why can't we get in?"

The security guard was arrogant and said bad words: "Why? Your idol is not popular enough."

Several hot-tempered fans immediately exploded, and they stepped forward to argue with the security guard, but were stopped by a few other relatively rational fans: "Forget it, forget it, don't quarrel with them, it will not affect Little C badly. "

Jinding is in charge of the program. Sheng Kuang is directly responsible for Ling Xi's financial affairs in Jinding, but Sheng Kuang is very busy and cannot keep announcing. Most of the time, Ling Xi is only accompanied by publicity and assistants. Similar emergencies I had to leave it to Baomei to deal with it.It's a pity that Baomei is so soft-spoken, and the program team doesn't even pay attention to Ling Xi, so how could they buy her?

The result was no surprise, the communication failed, Baomei and the person in charge had some unpleasant quarrels, Ling Xi's mood was inevitably affected, and the face hiding behind the sunglasses was more expressionless than usual.It was the fans who comforted them in turn: "It's okay, if you can't go in, you can't go in. Anyway, we have seen ourselves, and Ling Xi also knows that we are here to support him. This trip is not in vain." There are also a few little girls Patronizing and making nympho, "Ah, little c is so handsome, much better looking than on TV! Why are you so skinny, you should eat more, next time we will bring you a cake we baked by ourselves!"

Many of these fans came from other places by car early in the morning. In order to make the visual effect look better, they made an appointment to wear the new custom-made spring support club uniforms. For the outdoors in winter, the club uniforms are too thin. It doesn't have the effect of keeping warm, and everyone squeezes together unconsciously while chatting.

Ling Xi asked them to leave first several times, but they refused, insisting on waiting for Ling Xi to enter the studio before leaving.Facing such a group of people, Ling Xi didn't know what to say, and finally just lowered her head and uttered three words: "I'm sorry."

Fans gathered around him laughing and laughing: "What does it have to do with you? You didn't let us make this trip for nothing. If you have time, why not take a few more photos with us. Many people can't come, and they are still waiting for the photos to satisfy their hunger."

Ling Xi looked at his watch, it was obviously too late to take a group photo with everyone, so he simply waved his hand and called everyone to his side: "Come on, let's take a group photo."

As soon as the fans heard it, they crowded around Ling Xi happily. Ling Xi stretched out her arms and hugged everyone like an old hen guarding its chicks. Bao Mei held up her camera and shouted: "One, two, three!"

"Crack——" Everyone made victory gestures at the same time, laughing heartlessly.

After taking the photos, the fans still kept telling Ling Xi: "Be good later on, remember to smile more, you look the best when you smile. You have to steal the spotlight, don't be shy, the more pictures you have The better!"

Ling Xi listened carefully, and kept nodding her head: "Yeah, umm..."

Until Baomei accompanied Ling Xi into the waiting room, the fans were still shouting loudly from behind: "Little C, come on, see you next time, you are the best! Don't be stressed, sing well, and leave the rest to us! We will wait Waiting for you to become a big star, how long will you wait!"

The corridor leading to the backstage was long and dimly lit, only the lights at the end flickered faintly.The screams of the fans became smaller and smaller, and finally couldn't be heard after a while, but Ling Xi still felt full of strength...

I don't know what kind of bad luck happened to the program group. This episode has been in a lot of trouble since the beginning of the preparation. After all the links were communicated properly, it was ready to start recording, but there was a new trouble.

First, there was a delay in another event of Ajie, which caused his itinerary to be poorly connected. On the way to the event, he encountered a big traffic jam, and he was still an hour late than the agreed time.The staff can wait, the audience can wait, but the guests may not be willing to wait. Several old actors have gradually begun to feel dissatisfied after being served and drank their stomachs full of tea. Start recording Cheng Che's part.

It is said that misfortunes never come singly, Ajie's late arrival has already caused the program crew to suffer, and at the critical moment, Cheng Che also disappeared inexplicably.Several editors and directors searched around the front and back, even the men's and women's toilets, but they found nothing. They called his assistant, who hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Cheng Che is a little I'm uncomfortable, I'm afraid I can't record it."

The producer snatched the phone and frowned tightly: "Where is it uncomfortable? Is it serious? Why don't you let him take a rest, we will record later, or should we call a doctor?"

After hearing what the producer said, Ling Xi couldn't help becoming nervous.Cheng Che was always in good health, and there was no warning before, so why did he feel unwell all of a sudden?The most likely reason is that they had gastrointestinal discomfort after eating something bad, but the two of them came to the company after meeting together in the morning. The food and water they ate and drank were the same as those of the staff, and there was no abnormality in everyone.If it's another sudden illness, shouldn't you call an ambulance or send someone to the doctor together?Why hide?

The producer kept asking, but Cheng Che's assistant still couldn't give an answer: "It's just...it's really serious anyway, I can't record it anymore, and he said he was very sorry..."

The producer wanted to ask more clearly, because the other end had already hung up the phone, and let him call "Hello, hello" to the phone for a long time. In the end, he couldn't help being furious, and threw the phone to the ground vigorously: "No recording!" It's gone! The announcement has been cancelled! It seems that we can't record today!"

The assistant next to him picked up the phone, wiped it clean and returned it to the producer, carefully reminding: "If we don't record well today, I'm afraid we won't be able to do the post-production in time, and now the two groups over there are busy with the Taiwan celebration project. , if the skylight is opened, it will be a big accident..."

For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely dull.Seeing that the producer was still hesitating, Ling Xi offered to recommend himself: "Can you let me try? I can sing a few songs on the playlist."

At first, he was still a little uneasy, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, but when he really said his thoughts, he became more courageous, full of confidence from head to toe, eager to try.

The producers and choreographers exchanged glances, doubting him: "Are you okay? I haven't rehearsed before, and I haven't played with the accompaniment before. This is not singing K. We have made small changes to the song..."

"You don't need an accompaniment, just a guitar, I'll bring it with me." Ling Xi looked around and pointed to the circular stage in the middle of the recording studio, "There's also a piano there, I tried it just now, and the sound is good."

The producer was surprised: "Can you still play the piano?"

Ling Xi nodded without hesitation: "The level is not high, but it's okay to deceive laymen."

Seeing that the other party refused to believe it easily, he went straight to the piano, stood there and started playing impromptuly.What he plays is a short piece of retro funk, and it is also an episode of a classic old movie 30 years ago. It is a legendary story on the world stage, and the hero and heroine of the movie happen to be sitting in the guest seat opposite.This is Ling Xi's homework done in advance. He not only carefully studied the relevant content of the program, but also collected the background and information of many partners.

The tune is fast-paced, agile, and full of appeal. Many audience members couldn't help but nod and beat the time.While playing, Ling Xi asked the two old actors in the guest seat: "Hey, are you young people?"

The fans sitting in the audience didn't know why, they were all wondering and hoping. They didn't know that this was one of the classic lines in the movie, and it was the first time that the two protagonists got into the dance of their seniors by mistake. It was this simple sentence that completely led them into the world of dance when they were asked about the situation by the seniors.

The two old actors cooperated with Ling Xi tacitly, and one of them with gray hair answered first: "This year, I want to dance, and I want to dance all the way to Broadway!"

Another fat man is not far behind: "I'm 16 years old, I don't know if I'm young, but I also like dancing."

Ling Xi smiled: ", 16 years old, why don't you hurry up and dance to the music!"

The two old actors were brought back old memories by the music and lines, and they really ran to the stage and danced clumsily with the music, joking with each other while dancing. Could it be: "Old ghost, your dance steps are 'concave', it has been out of fashion for a long time, and now young people want to dance 'bubble cake'."

"Big belly" looked confused: "What's 'throwing cake'? Indian food? I only know wheel pancakes, wife pancakes, and scallion pancakes."

"Greyhead" pointed at the audience: "Ask them, they are the real young people, they are 16 years old, and they all know 'bubble cake'."

The enthusiasm of the audience was also mobilized, and they scrambled to interact with the guests. The audience laughed and laughed: "It's 'popping', it can't make cakes, let alone throw cakes!"

The producer stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, a smile gradually appeared on his face.At this time, the Kung Fu assistant ran over holding the phone: "Boss, Ajie's agent called, and said that they will definitely be there in half an hour to four or ten minutes."

After hearing this, the producer waved his hand casually: "Go and tell him, there is no need to rush over here." Under the surprised eyes of the assistant, the producer added, "Also, notify all departments to officially start recording in 5 minutes... "

The recording process of the program went smoothly. Although many links were temporarily changed due to the change of guests, everyone was very satisfied with the final results.Ling Xi doesn't seem to be too active in expressing himself, but every time he is needed, he can lift up the atmosphere in time with ease. The typhoon is calm and atmospheric, which makes the whole program crew look at him with admiration. He had a good impression and even left a phone call with him.

After the recording ended and came out of the studio, Ling Xi ran into Ye Ming head-on. In fact, he saw Ye Ming coming during the break, but the two of them neither said hello nor communicated with each other, and they didn't even look at each other much. Stay for a moment.

When passing by, Ye Ming took the initiative to stop Ling Xi, and uncharacteristically did not say any harsh words: "You performed well today."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, without any expression change on his face.

Ye Ming was not in a hurry to accuse him of being cold and impolite, but nodded with satisfaction: "It's been a while since I saw you. You have made great progress. To be honest, I am a little surprised. I thought you would be depressed after losing the game and give up. I didn’t expect you to stick to this road, and even signed Jinding, I have to say, you’re quite capable.” Seeing that Ling Xi never said a word, he sighed helplessly, and laughed at himself, “Okay , don't bother you, I know you don't like being judged by me. But even so, I still want to say something, whether you like it or not... In fact, for a moment, I felt proud in my heart Yes, that's pride."

Ling Xi glanced at him, her tone obviously showing impatience: "Thank you, it's an honor, but these have nothing to do with you." After finishing speaking, he strode away without looking back.

On the way to the parking lot, Baomei ran all the way and struggled to follow: "Ling Xi Lingxi, what are you laughing at?"

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment: "Huh? I didn't laugh."

Baomei was out of breath and looked up at him: "Laugh if you laugh, why don't you admit it?"

Ling Xi didn't look sideways: "I didn't smile."

Baomei dug out a makeup mirror from her large bag, and held it high in front of Ling Xi's eyes: "Look for yourself, you're clearly smiling, the dimple is so big, it could be used to serve rice."

Ling Xi pushed the mirror away naturally: "I was born like this."

Afraid that Baomei would be wordy again, he directly took out the earphones and put them on his ears, and walked quickly to the front alone, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, a little mischievous, a little secretly happy, just Like a child winning a game of marbles...

After separating from Ye Ming, Ling Xi quickly disappeared into the corner of the corridor, but Jin Shi, who was assigned by Lu Xiaoyan to be the driver and bodyguard, did not follow up immediately.

Turning around and seeing Jin Shi standing behind him silently, Ye Ming couldn't help but twitch slightly: "You, hello... Long time no see."

Jin Shi got straight to the point, omitting the small talk: "Mr. Lu said that you have done a good job, you can continue, but you have to be careful not to let Ling Xi find out your flaws. In short, behave well, Mr. Lu is generous and will not wrong you. Money will come later It will be transferred to your account, and it won’t take long for you to fill in the shortfall owed by follow-the-trend investment.”

A gleam of joy flashed across Ye Ming's face: "Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I know what to do, and thank him for his willingness to help, thank him for helping me get through this difficult time."

Jin Shi shook his head: "I think it would be more appropriate for you to say 'pleasant cooperation' than 'thank you'."
