become famous with a kiss

At the beginning of the new year, the hottest news in the entertainment industry is the news surrounding Guan Baiyan.

First of all, through his agent Xiong Pang, he publicly stated that he would no longer renew his contract with Hualing International and instead set up his own independent studio.Due to the release of this news, the stock price of Hualing International fell for a while, which is very similar to the situation when "TheTop" was disbanded that year, and it is an expression of investors' lack of confidence in the company's subsequent launch of stars.After Guan Baiyan left, many people speculated that Xiaobin would become the "No. [-] Hualing Brother" to take Guan Baiyan's place.

After that, a more explosive topic was born-a couple claimed to be Guan Baiyan's long-lost parents and asked to recognize him.

Anyone who is a little familiar with Guan Baiyan's early life knows that he spent his childhood in an orphanage, and it is said that he was abandoned by his parents since he was a child.The couple said that the reason why they abandoned their young son was because they were poor and had to make such a move.Now that the two are old, they yearn for family affection, and hope that they can give Guan Baiyan the warmth and care of his relatives, so that the family will be reunited from now on.

At first, the public took an extremely cautious wait-and-see attitude towards the news.

With Guan Baiyan's current reputation and status, it is very possible that there will be a farce of pretending to be a child.But soon after, the couple filed an application to the court, hoping to confirm the relationship between the three, and asked Guan Baiyan to fulfill his maintenance obligations.The district court accepted the lawsuit in accordance with the law, and then agreed in the trial investigation that a third-party agency would issue paternity test reports for the three parties involved in the case. Such an orderly and pressing approach undoubtedly made people feel that the couple With full confidence, coupled with the fact that this kind of family drama has always attracted people's attention, the media's attitude towards them immediately changed from watching them as a joke to flocking to them.

What made entertainment journalists even more excited was that Guan Baiyan, who was the central figure in the incident, later unexpectedly stated that no matter whether he and the couple were really related by blood, he would never recognize his parents who abandoned him .

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.Some people praised this as an expression of true temperament, while others said that he had betrayed the agency and refused to recognize his parents, Guan Tianwang was really disloyal and unfilial.

In just two months, continuous negative news has pushed Guan Baiyan to the forefront of public opinion, and it has also dealt a big blow to his good image since his debut.

Amidst the noisy criticism and discussion, Guan Baiyan's attitude did not waver in the slightest, instead he used more drastic means to further express his position.

On the second day after the paternity test confirmed the blood relationship of the three, Guan Baiyan formally counter-claimed through his lawyer that the couple who had just become his parents committed the crime of abandonment, and asked the law to punish them.

Just when Guan Baiyan fell into the quagmire of lawsuits, the musical "Dark Lord's Rondo", which was independently invested by Haitian Media, was released in a low-key manner.

The musical was not hyped up, and even the meeting was only invited to the media affiliated with Haitian Media, and then began to tour in many universities across the country.Because the main audience is college students, the ticket price charged is extremely low, and many students are willing to pay such a price to watch musicals that do not have many endings on weekdays.

This kind of publicity and marketing method is completely opposite to the current situation in the entertainment industry that is used to building momentum in advance, so the effect received is also very different.

Mainstream TV programs, newspapers, and magazines were collectively speechless, but three months after the tour began, various news about "Dark Lord's Rondo" began to spread on Weibo, forums and other places where ordinary netizens gathered.

What attracted everyone's attention at the beginning was that one of the leading actors in this musical was actually Ning Ze who had completely disappeared for half a year.Afterwards, someone uploaded some clips of the play personally shot on the Internet, and the hot topic of discussion changed from the choice of the leading role to the focus on the play.

As far as the plot is concerned, "The Rondo of the Dark Lord" tells an absurd story with oriental magicism.

The young man Wei Ke and his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Fang Chen came to the metropolis from a poor hometown to seek job opportunities. Due to lack of high education and work experience, they encountered obstacles in the process of job hunting. After spending their small savings, they ended up sleeping in the open street.

Just when the two were at a loss, a mysterious gentleman took them in and made them servants in his mansion.

The next day, just after Wei Ke had finished his busy day at work, the gentleman approached him for the first time and proposed that if he would sell his girlfriend, he would get a huge sum of money.

Wei Ke was extremely surprised, but firmly refused because of his deep love for his girlfriend.Facing his decision, the gentleman accepted it calmly, and did not make things difficult for the two of them. Instead, he began to keep Wei Ke by his side, allowing him to accompany him to attend various high-class parties, so that he could truly see the prosperity and wealth of this metropolis.

As the contact with each other increases, Wei Ke feels more and more that the gentleman is very mysterious. In him, he seems to have both the sensibility and elegance of a woman, and the handsomeness and determination of a man.Time and time again, the gentleman proposed the same deal to Vico, and Vico became more and more confused and shaken.Until one day, he finally couldn't resist the temptation to agree.The moment he heard his answer, a strange smile appeared on the gentleman's face.

Waking up early the next morning, Wei Ke suddenly found that his soul had entered the gentleman's body when looking in the mirror, and at the same time there was another person's consciousness in this body—his girlfriend Fang Chen.

The two panicked, and after testing each other, they finally discovered that the gentleman asked the same question to both of them at the same time, and neither Wei Ke nor Fang Chen could stick to their bottom line in the end.

An unprecedented quarrel broke out between the lovers who already shared the same body. They blamed and complained to each other, but they also had nothing to do.They tried to find their original bodies, but found that the bodies that belonged to Wei Ke and Fang Chen had disappeared.

In the endless remorse and resentment, the two souls who originally loved each other began to hate each other. They loathed each other but could not separate. The sharp conflicts made them exhausted, and they couldn't even enjoy the happiness of getting a lot of money.

Day after day of this kind of life, one day, they began to admit the mistakes they made in their ambitions, and decided to try to understand each other in fatigue and embarrassment.And not long after, they have become mysterious gentlemen. They picked up a pair of wandering lovers outside the villa. The man and woman in love were desperate because they had spent the last penny of their luggage.

The gears of fate began to turn again, and the Dark Lord who played the role of seducing others will be Wei Ke and Fang Chen.

In "The Rondo of the Dark Lord", Ning Ze plays the triangle alone.He not only plays the mysterious gentleman, but also plays Wei Ke and Fang Chen who are in the same body after being deceived.

Because the performance is a musical, the transition between roles must not only be based on the excellent acting skills of the actors, but also require extraordinary singing skills. ——The elegance and deepness of the mysterious gentleman, Wei Ke's innocence and recklessness at the beginning and later impatience and depression, Fang Chen's sharp madness after entering the male body, all are expressed through the singer's voice.

There is a section in the play, in order to express the quarrel between Wei Ke and Fang Chen who are both in the body of a gentleman, it is necessary to switch between male and female voices in the same song, and even achieve a span of five octaves in a line of lyrics The high and low scales of the song changed one by one, but Ning Ze performed flawlessly.

All the audience who watched this performance live were amazed, and many people who used to be Ningze fans became active again.

They began to publicly praise Ning Ze's voice as a natural sound, saying that he had created a miracle in the history of human singing.Others led the public opinion in a strange direction. They speculated whether Ning Ze had surgery on his voice during his retirement.Some people made even more horrifying remarks, saying that Ning Ze may have castrated himself in the past six months in order to make a voice similar to that of "eunuch singers" in human history.

More and more outrageous rumors were circulating, but no crew or Ning Ze himself clarified them publicly.Such a gesture further contributed to the spread of various rumors, and many people suddenly found that people around them and themselves were paying attention to an idol singer who had a bad reputation almost overnight.

Ning Ze, who was dusty in the corner, returned to the spotlight once again.

But this time, what he was talked about the most was not his perfect appearance, but his extraordinary singing skills.

The transformation of the role of a powerful musical actor has ushered in late respect for him, and many media have sent letters requesting interviews.

Soon after, he finally accepted an interview with a professional music magazine.Many of the questions asked by the reporter were very elegant, but at the end of the interview, they implicitly asked about Hualing International's Xuezang incident and Guan Baiyan's public speech.

Ning Ze's answer is very intriguing, "How much success a person can have is often directly proportional to how much slander he can withstand. Rumors and slander are not terrible, as long as you can still see yourself clearly. Dignity comes from strength, and strength comes from Hard work, if I have ever been misunderstood, it can show that I was not mature enough and hard enough at that time."

This passage was later reposted on the Internet, and many people said that Ning Ze "responded to people's doubts about him with realistic performance."

Many people also attached the audio of Ning Ze's solo song "Rainbow Mood" in the process of reposting.In this song written by Ning Ze himself, he sang, "I told myself, to live a real life, no matter what others think, even if the whole world denies it, I still have to believe in myself. I told myself, to live To be happy, there is no need to think about whether anyone cares, no need to think about whether someone has misunderstood, as long as you hold your chest up, you can see that rainbow, which will always be projected in my heart."

Through the continuous shaping of the media, many people began to position Ning Ze as a star who has encountered ups and downs and regained glory.This kind of plot is originally the favorite of the public, not to mention that the protagonist of the incident has both appearance and strength, which is simply the best representative of personal heroism.

With the start of overseas performances of "The Dark Lord's Rondo", Ning Ze's reputation is also growing day by day, and some foreign media even praised him as "Asian Musical No. 1".

The result of another return to the pinnacle of fame seems to be expected, and it seems to be unexpected.

On the night when he received the invitation to perform on Broadway, Ning Ze was drinking with Feng Yuan and Zhuang Linlin.On the newspaper in front of him, there was a large page detailing the content of "the first-instance verdict that Guan Baiyan lost the lawsuit, and both parties faced the choice of appeal".

After reading the faxed invitation letter, Zhuang Linlin completely forgot about her image and jumped onto the sofa and shouted, "Ning Ze, congratulations to you! Congratulations to us! Congratulations to all of us!"

"Do you know why I am willing to help you like this?" Feng Yuan opened the bottle and poured it for Ning Ze and Zhuang Linlin to celebrate together.

Ning Ze smiled lightly, and put down the newspaper after a while, "Couldn't it be that Mr. Feng has a good vision and has already predicted that we will have today's success?"

Feng Yuan glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said in a daze after a long time, "No, I just think you are very similar to me back then, with ambitions, desires, and the person I definitely want to wait for."

"So did you get it in the end?" Ning Ze asked.

Feng Yuan smiled but did not answer.

Ning Ze stopped asking, but raised his glass to her, "Now is the time to celebrate. No one will always be wonderful, and no one will always fail. It seems that success is also like a round dance. As long as you keep your faith, Maybe good luck will be your turn the next moment."

Feng Yuan clinked glasses with him lightly, "In my opinion, success is a bit like being pregnant. Everyone just congratulates. No one will ask how many times you have had morning sickness before. So... Ning Ze, after becoming What are you going to do when you're the winner?"

***

It has been half a year since "The Rondo of the Dark Lord" ended its tour in Europe and America. With this musical, all the main creators have gained a lot of international reputation.Especially when it is recognized by Broadway, people from all walks of life enjoy talking about it.

In the past six months, although Ning Ze was not in China, he participated in the production of many film music, and his exposure rate increased instead of decreasing. By the time he returned to China, he had become an international star musician.Many media and fans who came to pick up the airport surrounded the exit tightly. For the sake of safety, the airport even had to employ a large number of security guards.

The crew's plane was a bit late, and the people who had been waiting for hour after hour gradually became anxious. Soon there were rumors that Ning Ze and others had left the airport through another passage.The fans who had been waiting for a long time couldn't bear the incitement, some people cried loudly in disappointment, and even the reporters talked about it.At this moment, I saw a group of people walking slowly, pushing and saluting.

The leader is wearing sunglasses, a T-shirt, a long woven vest, and a long silk scarf. Although the dress is ordinary, the face and figure are impeccable. A slight wave of the hand or a look up is enough to make people scream.

Fans who have been waiting for a long time will naturally not miss the appearance of their own stars.As soon as this person appeared, countless men and women screamed "Ning Ze!", "Ning Ze!"

Ning Ze waved to them with a smile, without taking off his sunglasses and without stopping, he handled the microphones and various questions from the media skillfully, walked past the cameras calmly, and finally disappeared in front of the security escort. Behind the figure.

The scene of picking up the plane in just a few minutes was still broadcast in the entertainment news of many TV stations.

When Pang Xiong saw this video on the Internet, he was chewing bubble gum, and commented inarticulately, "Oh, boy Ning is really beautiful now..."

Before the words finished, the phone on the computer desk in front of him rang earth-shatteringly. Xiong Pang took a look, picked up the corner of the phone with two fingers and said to Guan Bai who was beside him, "Brother, it's Ling Zhihua."

Guan Baiyan looked at the back of Ning Ze leaving gracefully on the computer, but did not act immediately.

The bell rang over and over again, but Xiong Pang couldn't stand it anymore, and begged, "Brother, just answer the phone, at least to save my ears. If you have anything to say, just tell Ling Zhihua clearly, so that he won't harass you any more. Us..."

Only then did Guan Baiyan take over the phone, "What's the matter? I remember when I terminated the contract a few months ago, I said we should stop contacting each other."

Ling Zhihua didn't seem to think that the call could really be connected, so he hesitated before saying, "Bo Yan, are you really not thinking about it? As long as you agree to renew the contract with Hualing International, I can immediately ask your parents to withdraw the lawsuit." ..."

"They are not my parents," Guan Baiyan interrupted him, "Since I didn't have any relatives before, I won't have any in the future."

"It's true that they are greedy for money, and I look down on such people," Ling Zhihua seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, "But they are related to you by blood after all. And Bo Yan... I know that you have had a bad time... because This lawsuit..."

Guan Baiyan said indifferently, "Didn't you plan this lawsuit? Didn't you find those two people? Ling Zhihua, if you directly threaten or threaten me now, maybe it will make me think more of you."

"I never wanted to harm you, I just wanted you back..."

"If this is the purpose, then you can give up forever."

Ling Zhihua was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Is it because of Ning Ze, right? The reason why you refused to forgive me is because of him in the final analysis. We have been friends for so many years, but now we can't even be friends. I really don't like it." Willing to..."

Guan Baiyan's tone became colder and colder, "I will not be friends with people who have deceived me, designed me, and are even threatening me now."

"Bai Yan, I..."

Ling Zhihua seemed to want to say something, but Guan Baiyan had already cut off, "If you can't do it without coercion, at least please don't harass me any more, just to preserve the last bit of demeanor between each other."

After speaking, he pressed the hang up button, but within half a minute, the phone rang again.

Guan Baiyan took a deep breath, and connected the phone without looking at the caller ID, "Ling Zhihua, did I not explain clearly enough? You have overdrawn my trust in you, and this has nothing to do with Ning Ze at all."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and suddenly an unexpected voice came, "It seems that my call is not at the right time?"

Guan Baiyan couldn't help being taken aback, he held the phone in front of his eyes in astonishment, only to find that the phone number that he hadn't seen for a long time was displayed on the screen - a string that he had deleted from the phone but could never erase from his memory number.

Just for a moment, Guan Baiyan immediately felt that even his fingertips became a little stiff. He closed his eyes before mechanically putting the phone to his ear, "Ning Ze?"

"Senior still remember my voice? It's a little surprising, you should have deleted my number before." Ning Ze on the other end of the phone seemed to be smiling, "I'm back, can I meet senior? "

Guan Baiyan didn't speak. In fact, at this moment, his throat felt extremely dry, and even the tip of his tongue was full of bitter taste.

"I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and the previous misunderstandings have been resolved. I really want to meet my old friends. Would you like to make an appointment?"

The day of meeting will come sooner or later, Guan Baiyan vaguely knows what he has to face, but he can't tell whether it is anxiety, anticipation, or the sense of relief that everything is finally coming.He only heard himself asking in a very steady tone, "When and where?"

"Is seven o'clock tomorrow night okay?"

"can."

"That restaurant near your apartment?"

"it is good."

"See you tomorrow then."

It was really like a reunion between friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Ning Ze simply ended the call naturally, while Guan Baiyan came back to his senses after Xiong Pang called him a few times.

Xiong Pang, who had been waiting by the side, had already heard that it was Ning Ze who called this time, so he asked a lot of questions, and Guan Baiyan barely managed a few words before he didn't bother to answer.

In such restlessness, he finally realized that, whether it was out of guilt or those unspeakable feelings, in a sense, his and Ning Ze's positions had been completely switched.

This time, the cautious person became him.
