Relying on love in the entertainment industry

Digging a grave is absurd to say, but Chu Xiting really had such an impulse for a moment.

What prevented him from doing this was not the basic respect and reverence for the dead, or the possible bad results of doing so, but the fear that there was a [-]% to [-]% possibility of seeing Fang Qingzhi's bones after digging up the grave .

Just thinking of that scene made him feel terrified.

If Fang Qingzhi in the photo, what he brought was just the anxiety of being unable to move or speak... what a corpse brought was almost destructive despair.

The most frightening thing is not that he can't speak or move. The most frightening thing is that such a once vivid soul has completely disappeared and turned into a dead thing without thinking.

Even if he turned into a ghost or a zombie... For Chu Xiting, as long as he was still young inside, he could accept that kind of situation.

Therefore, he finally suppressed the idea of ​​digging a grave.

To confirm that Fang Qingzhi is not dead... He could use a more tactful and less harmful method.

After September, Fang Qingzhi and Jia Luo spent much more time in Nanjixing.Gallo himself is handsome, and because he is of mixed race, his facial features are more profound than most male stars in the circle, but the facial features of oriental people are quite obvious, which does not make people feel very western.

His Chinese attainments are not very profound, and he may mispronounce some words that are not commonly used, but at least his pronunciation is standard, which is much smoother and more natural than the local artists from some provinces and cities in CN. The performance is also precise, and it is completely a good jade that has been polished.

In this case, Nanjixing naturally hoped to push him out to test the waters as soon as possible, and did not want to waste time waiting.

Because of Chu Xiting's arbitrariness, Fang Nan became the producer of Gallo's first album, which caused some dissatisfaction within the company.However, because of Fang Nan's recent rise in domestic fame, this dissatisfaction was soon suppressed again.Correspondingly, Fang Nan was accompanied by assistants and a professional team.

According to Fang Nan's intention, he hoped to promote Gallo as a singer-songwriter.

Gallo's Chinese is not very good, and he has some difficulties in writing lyrics, but he is very familiar with composing music.This is an advantage that cannot be ignored, whether it is in terms of publicity or actual public evaluation. Fang Nan does not want Gallo to give up this advantage anyway.

However, due to the fact that Gallo released an album on SN, the songs on hand are not even enough to fill half of the album, and if they want to release it on CN, they will have to rewrite all the lyrics, which will definitely take a lot of effort. It made several responsible persons of Nanjixing disagree very much, and there were two disputes between the two sides.

But in the end, Fang Nan won.

And then, composing, selecting, writing lyrics, and arranging...all require a lot of time.

During this period of time, Chu Xiting appeared several times, and the relationship with Jia Luo seemed quite intimate, but in Fang Nan's opinion, that kind of intimacy was always superficial.

He always felt that the other party's performance was fake, even... that performance was not as realistic as when he cheated and used his feelings back then.But it's true, when he was coaxed back then, Chu Xiting's worth and status were far inferior to what they are now, and Jia Luo is not like him back then... bearing the deep-rooted hatred that killed his first love.

"Ha..." Fang Nan thought so, and couldn't help showing a mocking smile to the two who were talking.

This smile can be said to be full of malice.Fang Nan hid in the corner, but he felt that no one would notice him, so he showed such an expression, but unexpectedly, Chu Xiting raised his face at this moment, and looked towards Fang Nan in a strange way Come here, just to see his appearance clearly.

The two looked at each other, Fang Nan froze for a moment, then turned away with a look of disdain.

After he looked away, Chu Xiting still stared at his profile for a long time.

To be honest, Fang Nan's expression and demeanor at that moment were not at all similar to Fang Qingzhi's.His smile was contemptuous and mean, making it impossible to see anything pleasant or beautiful from it.

This was extremely unfamiliar to Chu Xiting.

Fang Qingzhi has never shown such an attitude to anyone. No matter who he is, he always has a gentleness and kindness that is so clear from the inside out that people can't help but smile.

For a moment, Chu Xiting even felt wrong.

But when Fang Nan looked away, and lowered his head to bite the cap of his pen and began to ponder the score again, his serious and gentle expression brought back that sense of familiarity again.

At that moment, Chu Xiting couldn't help but want to test directly.

Unexpectedly, Jia Luo's call sounded suddenly, changing his rationality: "President Chu!"

Chu Xiting was stunned for a moment, then turned around, only to find that Jia Luo was looking at him with a half-smile.It was only then that he realized that he was actually talking to Gallo right now.

Jia Luo said, "Mr. Chu doesn't seem to be interested in the details of my album planning..."

As the top boss, Chu Xiting came here on purpose, so it was impossible to say that he wanted to spy on their externally hired producer.Although he does not need to explain to anyone when he patrols various departments, if he stays on the sidelines for a long time without any reason, not only the several subordinates of the current project team will feel uncomfortable, but he is as unrestrained as Fang Nan, and he may directly speak out Give him a eviction order to show his face.

So when Chu Xiting came in, he naturally began to talk to Gallo, asking about the current progress and their positioning for the album and other details.

Now Garlo's questioning seems to be discovered that his drunk man is not alcohol.

After hearing this, Chu Xiting also knew that his performance was a bit too obvious, so he immediately turned around and said with a smile: "I just can't form an image of the effect you want in my mind for a while...you continue to talk."

Gallo was talking to Chu Xiting about the positioning of the album.Because it is the first album, the impression of the whole album will largely be linked to Gallo's image in China.Fang Nan believes that for the sake of Gallo's future development, the style of the whole album should not be too far from Gallo's temperament.

...and, he hoped, the album would do a good job of showing Gallo's overtures to his country.

In other words, the current arrangement of the entire album, I hope there will be two to three songs praising CN, two to three inspirational songs, and the rest will be allocated to other themes.

Among them, Fang Nan's songs praising CN did not intend to make them into patriotic songs.One reason is that Gallo was born in SN. Although he is curious and fond of CN, the motherland, he is not as deeply patriotic and homesick as some older returned singers.Secondly, Gallo's character is not suitable for such a heavy theme.

According to the person in charge of Nanji Star, they wanted to portray Gallo as a mixed-race nobleman. This positioning is actually quite attractive to boys and girls, and it is not wrong.But Fang Nan was unwilling to limit Gallo's audience to underage children.

His ambitions are greater.

Therefore, in Fang Nan's plan, Gallo's album selection should be more comprehensive, preferably both cultural and contemporary, able to represent a certain group, and at the same time attract the attention of multiple age groups.

For example, among the three CN-related songs, one of them has already been written by Fang Nan, and the title is tentatively set as "Wind from the East".

This song expresses a boy's curiosity about the land that gave birth to his ancestors when he looked back at the East.And this "wind from the East" also hints at CN's impact on the entire world in recent years.

Different from ordinary patriotic songs, this song is mixed with several English singing words, and the part of each English singing appears is even added with a very Chinese -style opera.And the English lyrics in each of the opera, there must be a very oriental -style English word, such as ceramics, tea, silk ... and so on.

There is a gust of wind coming from the east / I can’t guess the fragrance of flowers in the wind / My father said it was a peony flower / Once upon a time there was a city called Chang’an / There was once a dynasty called Han and Tang / There was once a nation called Yanhuang / 5000 years of continuous blood He Khan / 5000 years of endlessly resounding poems and proverbs / Ancestors wrote the wisdom of survival into the blood / We pass them down with our lives...

However, the following lyrics are mixed with lyrics written in English, such as ABrokenChina, ANever-BrokenChinaHeart.Obviously, the ceramic inside is a pun, and it is sung in an opera accent, but it is full of flavor and has an indescribable deep connotation.

The English here emphasizes Gallo's own origin and standpoint, which on the contrary makes the value of this center all the more evident.

It is the first time for the employees in the music production department of Nanjixing to cooperate with Fang Nan. Although they have heard the songs in the albums of "I Used to Love You Like Life" or "Love Is King" before, those are all songs after all. The songs related to love and love, and the singer's level is relatively average, Fang Nan also accommodated the singer's level, reduced the difficulty of singing, and enhanced the popularity of the song, so the level that can be revealed is very limited.

Compared with those love songs that are either plaintive or plaintive, or playful and plain, the arrangement of this "Wind from the East" is the tip of the iceberg that finally revealed Fang Nan's ability.

Leaving aside the magnificent arrangement, from the beginning to the climax, the process of transforming the strong oriental-style melody led by the flute into a magnificent ensemble like a symphony can almost be called a stroke of genius, and the interlude The gradually increasing chorus and opera tune accompaniment also give people an amazing impression.

If exquisite and mature skills are accumulated over many years, then ingenious ideas are born talents.At least for everyone they work with, they are confident that they will one day develop the same smooth skills, but it is hard to imagine that they can have the same ingenuity.

And Fang Nan is still so young.

The planning and production of the album are progressing logically. Fang Nan and Gallo are busy composing music, writing lyrics, preparing various details, and adjusting the arrangement no matter they are at home or in the company.However, although there was less time for gossiping, Gallo felt that the relationship between the two was much closer.

Common ideals and preferences are the easiest way to narrow the distance between different people.Although they are always at work, both Jia Luo and Fang Nan are having a good time. Even though the workload is huge due to time constraints, the two of them have no complaints and live a very fulfilling life.

However, in this process, there are also things that make people feel less pleasant.

For example, Chu Xiting appeared frequently.

After a long time, even the other staff members of the project team found that Chu Xiting's attention to this project was unusual.In other words, most people think that Chu Xiting's attention to Gallo is extraordinary.

But Gallo himself clearly knew otherwise.Even Fang Nan found that the situation was completely different from what they had expected.

He wondered if Chu Xiting had discovered something.

So after Chu Xiting left that day, when Fang Nan got out of the parking lot with Jia Luo and drove home, he asked Jia Luo: "Is there any progress in your relationship with Chu Xiting?"

Gallo was silent for a long time before replying, "I don't think he has any affection for me."

Fang Nan frowned suddenly, and said, "Is the method you adopted wrong?"

After Gallo paused for a moment, he said, "I don't think it is useful to take any method. This may make you feel disappointed ... But Nolan, he really has no interest in me. If he has a little interest in me, he has a little interest in me. ... Then he couldn't shake it a little when he came into contact with it for so long. "

Fang Nan said: "Impossible..."

Gallo drove the car forward for a while, and then stopped in a certain roadside parking space. Then he looked back at Fang Nan and said, "Why is it impossible? I'm not cash, so it's impossible for everyone to meet everyone." Love. Even if I'm his first love, it won't prevent him from moving on to someone else in the future, let alone just looking alike?"

Fang Nan said: "It's not just about looking like..."

Gallo froze.

Fang Nan said: "A person will fall in love with someone at first sight because of a face, but it is impossible to love someone to death because of a face...Of course I know this kind of thing. So I didn't think it would make people fall in love with each other. He's in love with you...but Gallo, you're not just looking like him."

He said slowly: "Cao Min was only nineteen when he passed away. He was a straight man through and through. As far as I know, he has a cheerful and outgoing personality and is very popular... He is completely different from me."

When he said the last sentence, there was some unknown cold feeling in his tone, but it made Gallo's heart move, as if he had grasped something faintly.

But Fang Nan continued: "Cao Min is not only a straight man, he also has a very good girlfriend. According to my investigation, there has never been any rumor of a particularly close relationship between him and Chu Xiting... Do you know what that means?"

Gallo froze.

Fang Nan didn't expect his answer either, but said in a steady tone: "That was the first love he had never had before... He was the one who carefully cared for Bai Yueguang, a cinnabar mole who dared not take a step beyond the thunder." It was Chu Xiting who did it. Without hesitation, he could be trampled on to the true love that cannot be surpassed... Fang Nan thought this way, and said, "Then he died at the age when Chu Xiting's affection was the strongest and the deepest. How could such an existence be possible in Chu Xiting's life?" Ting's heart has been diluted?"

On the contrary...he would only engrave it deeper in Chu Xiting's heart day by day, year by year.

But Gallo didn't think so.

As time went by, Gallo could be said to be more and more aware of the subtle difference in attitude between Chu Xiting and Fang Nan.Compared with him or anyone else, when Fang Nan was present, even if Chu Xiting's eyes were not on Fang Nan, the center of attention was definitely on him.

Chu Xiting didn't appear to recognize Fang Nan, so Gallo couldn't say whether the other party knew Fang Nan's true identity.But no matter what, there is one thing he can be sure of - many of Chu Xiting's own thoughts may be different from Fang Nan's.

It's like hanging in the piano room of Chu Xiting's home, the portrait frozen by time, and the sound of music reverberating all night.

But even so... Gallo still didn't want to tell Fang Nan this.

He opened his mouth and asked Fang Nan, "Nolan...do you care about it? Chu Xiting loves others and doesn't love you?"

Fang Nan was stunned.

After a while, he frowned and replied: "...What I care about is not who Chu Xiting loves or not, but that he uses me!" He said to Gallo angrily, "Don't say that in front of me. Is this kind of talk okay, it makes people feel uncomfortable to hear. If the person who encountered these things was you—Gallo, you might not be more carefree than me!"

Gallo said, "Maybe not. But Nolan, if it were me, I would never forgive him after encountering such a thing, and I would never forget that person again... That's too Stockholm."

Fang Nan was very upset immediately, and said, "What do you mean? You want to say that I'm just being hypocritical, but I'm actually forgetting about Chu Xiting's old love?"

Gallo didn't back down, and asked, "Isn't it?"

Fang Nan gritted his teeth for a while, but he punched the car window.

The window squeaked, but it didn't shatter.But Gallo was taken aback. He reached out and grabbed Fang Nan's arm that was used to smash the car window, and pulled it to his eyes—then he touched the sticky liquid, and found Fang Nan's hand under the dim light. Nan's knuckles were stained a darker shade of black red.

Gallo yelled angrily: "You are crazy! Do you know how much your hands are worth?"

Fang Nan said, "That's my hand too! Even if it's broken, it's none of your business!"

Gallo said: "Of course it's none of my business - because I care! Nolan, you figure it out, you torture yourself, you break the pot, you feel sad and you get hurt, it's me who cares about you! You hurt yourself, Chu Will Xi Ting know? Will he care? Since he can take away the heart source related to your name, do you think he will care about your life!?"

Fang Nan heard it, but he took a sip of air -conditioning, and his chest was cold and cold.His pupils were shining in the night, but it was as cold as water.For a long while, the young man said, "I don't need him to care."

Fang Nan said coldly: "Gallo, if you say such things again, I will hate you."

Even though he said this, his eyes were full of brilliance, as if there was a pool of autumn water, and it was as if it was about to overflow.Fang Nan's expression was not painful or depressed, on the contrary, he seemed to have locked all his emotions in his eyes, so when Gallo heard that sentence, he looked up at his slightly pursed lips, half-drooped eyelids, and There is no expression on the face, but for a moment it feels that the person opposite will cry in the next second.

Gallo was stunned, and then it seemed that at that moment, all the scheming, scheming, well-planned extortion of confessions, and careful thinking of trying to lure the opponent to promise angrily receded like a tide, and he was defeated.

He covered Fang Nan's cold and sticky knuckles that were still bleeding with both hands, but he was no longer as aggressive as before, he just said hastily but softly: "Stop! I won't! I'm sorry, Nolan , I said the wrong thing...don't be sad."

Fang Nan was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "...I never forget him."

Gallo said, "Well, I was talking nonsense."

Fang Nan said again: "I just can't forgive."

Gallo said: "You don't need to forgive. It's just that what he did was too vicious."

Fang Nan said: "I used to really love him...Gallo, my hands are shaking when I say this now, because I am angry. I hate the fact that I once liked such a person. If I can, I don't want to be with anyone. Admitting this in front of me because it made 16 years of my life feel false and meaningless."

When he said this, Gallo was surprised to find that Fang Nan's hands were trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Fang Nan continued to speak.

"...I have done too many stupid things for this man, too many...I have lied for the first time in front of my parents, for him, I have learned to use music to please fans, and I have been jealous for him. Familiar girls, hostile to other singers who competed with him... I became like I hated myself for him, but in the end I found that everything I did was meaningless."

"Gallo, I hate Chu Xiting. I don't think I will ever hate another person in my life, but I hate Chu Xiting very much." Fang Nan said firmly, "I I hate him so much that I want to kill him, but I feel that killing him is not enough... because the pain I have suffered is far more sad than death."

This was the first time that Gallo saw Fang Nan nakedly showing his true thoughts about Chu Xiting in front of him.

Gallo couldn't answer for a moment.

Then he knew that Fang Nan hated was not Chu Xiting's uniqueness, nor was he captured the hatred of his healthy life, but the sadness and pain that was torn one by one.

Chu Xiting has demanded too much from Fang Qingzhi... If he just wanted to hurt and make Fang Qingzhi suffer, then he shouldn't have demanded so much from Fang Qingzhi, because it was far more than that. The damage that night, the priority of that first aid can do.

Unexpectedly, Jia Luo asked Fang Nan: "Suppose... Chu Xiting actually... doesn't love you at all?"
