[Rebirth] Born ordinary

"Boss, don't tell me, your idea is clear tonight." The bartender, A Jin, wiped the table, and looked at the packed bar with his mouth raised, "Fan Xuyang has enough face, look at this group of teenagers. The excitement of the girl can even catch up with the scene."

The bar tonight is indeed lively, but this kind of excitement is different from the past. Most of the people who come here are young people, but the older ones have not been running here these two days. It seems that they can't stand the tossing energy of these young people. Son.

Although the atmosphere in the crowd was very high, it was not as exaggerated as A Jin said. Most of them were still sitting. In the past, the dance floor where a few people danced happily seemed relatively empty today.

Everyone was watching the high-mounted large TVs, exchanging and discussing for a while, and especially when Fan Xuyang appeared on the stage just now, the atmosphere suddenly reached its peak - a group of people came to the bar to watch Fan Xuyang.

"Indeed, there are more than double the number of people compared to the previous two days. Fan Xuyang's charm cannot be underestimated. The few small bands I found two days ago, when they played, you didn't see the disappointed expressions on the faces of the girls below! "The bar manager Liang Cheng said with a smile.

"I still don't understand what young people are thinking now. You said that two days ago, it was just to watch Fan Xuyang's real person. Wouldn't it be more fun to go home and watch this kind of show on TV today? Everyone actually ran here , I heard that we set up the TV here to broadcast live all night, and even invited friends to come."

Yi Hui also laughed, "I don't understand, it shows that we are all old."

"You're only 28, don't tell me you're old, I'm really stressed." Liang Cheng stroked his slightly bald head, and sighed bitterly.

"Brother Cheng, this has nothing to do with old age. If you think about the excitement you had watching the World Cup, you can almost guess what these people are thinking. Anyway, Fan Xuyang sings here every night at this time. These people must have come here with the intention of getting closer to Fan Xuyang." After wiping the table, Ah Jin took out a white towel and wiped the cup.

Liang Cheng rolled his eyes and spread his hands, expressing his incompetence in imagination, "Can it be the same? I was loyal when I watched the World Cup. How can I like these kids? I like this one today, and I like that one tomorrow." of."

Ajin smiled and stopped talking. He didn't say that he was also a young man. Young people, what they like is always linked to beauty after turning over and over again. Speaking of which, they are also loyal.

Yi Hui took out a cigarette from his pocket, and when he was about to go to the back to smoke one, his name was announced on the TV, and he just got up and sat back down again.

Liang Cheng and A Jin were also taken aback, "Hey, this kid is also participating in the competition?"

During the conversation, the stage light on the TV had already dimmed, and when it was turned on again, Sun Shao was already standing on it. Some people in the bar who often came to Fan Xuyang’s performances, one after another, people recognized that they were always standing beside Fan Xuyang. Sun Shao, who was on the side, couldn't help making noise again.

"Isn't this the newcomer in Fan Xuyang's band?"

"Yeah, you haven't heard of it. In the underground plaza, he sang the song "Friends" with Fan Xuyang. After singing, didn't Fan Xuyang say he was also a contestant?"

"Really? I didn't go that time. I'm not as handsome as Fan Xuyang. How's your singing..."

Before the words fell, the speaker had already shown a look of surprise, because Sun Shao on the TV had already started singing.

"...

Thank you for the honor you gave me

I want to bow deeply to you

Because of the hard work someone can understand

Thank you for the honor you gave me

How ordinary this boy used to be

It's you who let me make my dream come true

......"

"I always feel something is wrong..." Ah Jin lay on the bar, staring at Sun Shao on TV and muttering to himself.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Yi Hui turned to look at him, "Can't you sing well?"

A Jin waved his hand, "No, no, I sang it quite emotionally, but, boss, have you ever heard the original singing of this song?"

Yi Hui raised his face and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Hey, Boss, this song was a smash hit when it first came out, it was played everywhere in the streets and alleys." A Jin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Yi Hui shook his head with a smile, "It's probably because I didn't pay attention."

A Jin nodded, "Boss, listen to the lyrics. The original singing of this song is a kind of gratitude and joy. Generally speaking, it has a more uplifting feeling, but Sun Shao's singing feels like this... Do you think The 'you' and 'glory' he sang didn't mean what they said on the surface at all? Oh, it's just a feeling, I'm not a judge, just talk about it casually."

Liang Cheng smiled, "Children have a heart, and they can interpret a song over and over again, no matter what the meaning is, I think this song is pretty good."

Yi Hui turned his head to look at Sun Shao on the screen again, picked up the glass beside him and took a sip of the wine noncommittally, "...there is indeed a deep meaning."

Ajin's eyes lit up—is the boss reaffirming his thoughts?I didn't expect the boss to express his opinions outside the kitchen.

"...

This is our glory

People who dare to do and dare to think are not mediocre

I already know where I should go

This is an ode to joy for you

Every one of you is my truest self

......"

"Hey, did he change the last line? Or was he nervous and sang it wrong?" A Jin was surprised.

Yi Hui turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at A Jin, "?"

"The original line sang 'every one of you is my great hero', but he sang 'the truest self'." Ah Jin explained to Yi Hui and Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng shrugged, and after watching Sun Shao's performance, he tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, "I think this kid is not bad, should I find someone to promote it by the way, I think this competition is a good place, so I can drop by Give our bar a free advertisement, I will find someone to put up this kid's poster, and then add to the heat."

Ah Jin looked at him speechlessly.

Yi Hui silently said a few words "the most authentic self" in his heart, thoughtfully, then put down his wine glass, and walked to the back with a cigarette between his hands.

At the end of the song, Sun Shao murmured again in his heart - every one of you is my truest self, I will neither escape nor deny, the dream has reached its pinnacle, "glory" or not, we should all be content up.I already know where to go, this is my last ode to you.

After the dancers took their final poses, the music stopped. Sun Shao raised his head slightly and swept around the audience. Most of the people in the audience were a little dazed, as if they hadn't calmed down yet. Suddenly, a bright voice called out The word "Sun Shao" was like a firework that was suddenly ignited off the stage. Light sticks were danced and cheered for Sun Shao. The word "Sun Shao" suddenly turned into sound waves, rippling in groups under the stage.

At this moment, Sun Shao suddenly felt an unprecedented ease in his heart. All the past had been bound to him like cocoons wrapped around silkworms, making him always want to jump out of this circle and stay away from this place, but The moment he sang, Sun Shao felt that the cocoon in his heart was broken. Until now, Sun Shao was not only grateful to God, but also grateful to himself in his previous life.

Only after passing through can he no longer expect extravagantly, otherwise, these will be his eternal nightmare.Every past self should not be his nightmare, but the cornerstone of his current self.

The past, the present, and the future, together, are him, and he is already much luckier than ordinary people.Thinking of this, what Sun Shao finally showed was no longer a smile with pursed lips, but a smile that suddenly opened up.

The dancers dispersed one after another, and the host came up and stood beside Sun Shao, saying with a slightly exaggerated expression: "It seems that Sun Shao is also very satisfied with his performance today."

It meant the bright smile on Sun Shao's face, and Sun Shao didn't make excuses, just nodded slightly, and the smile restrained a little.

"Sun Shao, you sang so well, our eyes were red in the back... Before the competition, we all watched the video of the audition. At that time, our judges were actually not optimistic about Sun Shao. I believe many friends are like us. , Many fans who came to the scene supported Sun Shao, but in this short half month, just half a month, today, Sun Shao stood on the stage and proved himself to us. It is conceivable that Sun Shao Sun Shao, what do you want to say at this time, the sweat shed in the past half month?"

Sun Shao held the microphone, smiled and twitched the corners of his eyes, glanced at the host beside him, and said to himself, are you reliable as the host?If you don't conduct an investigation, you will have no right to speak, do you understand?I don't even know what sweat I've sweated in the past half month, how do you ask me to answer?Holding the microphone and talking and crying while thanking the program team?

"Actually, it's okay..." Sun Shao thought about it for a long time, but Sun Shao really couldn't say what the host wanted to hear, so he perfunctory in a low voice.

The host was also clever, and took Sun Shao's bad words as shyness, and immediately took over the conversation, and praised Sun Shao, saying that the other party is hardworking and shy, and a good student who studies hard. Everything can be successful, and so on, and then the topic was brought to the judges' comments.

Several judges looked at each other, one of them didn't comment, but instead asked Sun Shao why the last line of the lyrics had to be changed.

Sun Shao held the microphone, lowered his eyelids, and said, "...Have you changed it? I didn't notice it, and I probably remembered the word wrong."

Disappointment slid across the faces of several judges, and instead, the three began to comment professionally one by one.

To sum it up, there are two opinions. One is that Sun Shao has a good sense of presence and performed much better than the usual rehearsal. It is caused by a lack of grasp of "you".Another opinion is that Sun Shao sang another feeling of this song, he sang his own "Glory", and the last line actually has a kind of re-imagining of the "you". Shi Duan, no matter what, Sun Shao has something of his own.

The two sides quarreled for a while, and the host interrupted. It was time for Li Rui and Sun Shao to compete for promotion. Those who can stay on top, and those with fewer votes, will fall down.

After the two stood up and went up, several cameras under the stage were operating in all directions, capturing the expressions of the two above.

The host also desperately incited the tense atmosphere on the field, asking everyone on the scene and in front of the TV to hurry up and vote by SMS. The fate of the person you support is in your hands.

Sun Shao stood on the high platform and smiled slightly—this sentence is really provocative, controlling the absolute destiny of another person.Sometimes people can't even control themselves.

Suddenly, he felt the sight from another lifting platform two steps away from him, and he couldn't help looking back, meeting a pair of eyes with unusually complex expressions.

Sun Shao was confused, "?"

Li Rui pursed his lips and looked away, but after a while, he quietly moved back. Sun Shao smiled in relief, thinking, Li Rui probably felt that he had underestimated the enemy before, and now he is regretting that it was something else.

Thinking of this, Sun Shao sent a consoling smile—it doesn't matter, you will still be promoted directly.

As a result, the other party immediately turned pale, and moved his head away with a little resentment, making Sun Shao a little dazed.

Sun Shao remembered the ending of this duel in his previous life. Although this time he knew that his performance was more than ten times better than in his previous life due to many reasons, but this kind of competition involves all aspects, and whoever sings well does not necessarily win.

The last time they stood together on this lift, he was so nervous that he almost had stomach cramps, and he only prayed in his heart that he would be promoted directly, but in the end he still lost to him with less than half the votes of the other party, and became the group of people to be determined .

The reason is also very clear. During the audition, his performance was mediocre. There are too few points to promote in terms of appearance, family background, talent, and almost nothing in the group can be used to make a fuss. Even a promotional poster was shot He is very mediocre, without any characteristics or bright spots, and without a look that can be remembered at a glance. Naturally, it is impossible to draw a bunch of people who support him in just four or five minutes with just one song during the competition. .

In comparison, Li Rui and him are two completely opposite types of people. Li Rui's family background is very good. The character of a Chinese-style little aristocrat, and then various music awards and honors since he was a child, plus his creamy prince-like appearance that is very suitable for the little girls nowadays.

Before the competition, his fan group was formed, not a small number, and even had an official organization name - called Plum Cake, which sounds very sour and delicious, and it is a bit similar to Li Rui's temper. .

At the end of the lift, Li Rui killed him in seconds with twice the votes he had.

Sun Shao thought, in this life, from this point of view, there will be no change. Looking at the audience, more than half of them are fans of Fan Xuyang and Li Rui. The rest are not gathered by the program group , just a few supporters who are mixed and rare.

"Five four three two one, stop." The host stopped, "Okay, now let's look at the data on the big screen together."

There was an uproar in the audience, Sun Shao still had a slight smile, and turned his back to the big screen, as if all this had nothing to do with him. In fact, in Sun Shao’s heart, all of this, now it seems, did have something to do with him It's not big, he has already done everything he wants to do.

The host sighed with emotion, and then asked the two people on the lifting platform to get ready, and the lifting platform will start.

Sure enough.Sun Shao secretly sighed in his heart with a smile, his table slowly lowered, before going down, he raised his head and Li Rui lowered his head, the two looked at each other again, Sun Shao smiled slightly, Li Rui's eyes were dark, Sun Shao couldn't understand what was going on Emotions.

After getting down, Sun Shao walked forward, casually glanced at the big screen at the back, but suddenly froze—only five votes short? !

The host came over, both sighing and consoling, lamenting that in such a large voting base, the difference of five votes is almost negligible, and encouraging Sun Shao, don't be discouraged, there will be a chance in a while can advance.

Sun Shao came back to his senses, smiled and said to the host that it was all right, the host asked Li Rui to come down as well, said some scene words to the two of them, and then asked them to go to the backstage for a short rest.

The moment he walked behind the curtain, Li Rui suddenly reached out and grabbed Sun Shao's elbow, "You..."

"What's wrong?" Sun Shao looked at him strangely, and said to himself, this Li Rui has been acting weird since he came on stage.

"Xiao Shaoer?" Fan Xuyang whispered as he squinted at the black curtain in front of him.

"Xuyang, I'm here." Sun Shao responded, and Li Rui suddenly let go, walking in faster than him.

Sun Shao scratched his head on the spot, walked to the front, and met Fan Xuyang. Fan Xuyang looked at him with a sullen face, and Sun Shao was made to laugh by his expression: "Why? I owe you money? Isn't it just a loss? Just right , I will go to the back to find Director Xu and talk about the withdrawal, and I will not go up in a while."

"Ah?" Fan Xuyang opened his mouth, not knowing how to react, "That's not what you planned before..."

"Well, when I think about it now, even if I win the promotion spot in this competition, what I prove is quite meaningless, and it will cause trouble for others, so let's talk about it now..." Sun Shao held his chin Smiling authentically, "I think I've got what I want the most."
