This star is from the earth

Note: "Bicycle" - Eason Chan

————

The old chairman would occasionally go to the second and third floors of the company to listen to the children's practice.

He has dealt with the profession of "idol" for more than half a century, but he still dare not say that he fully understands what a real idol is.

Every era has different needs for idols.

The world's requirements for idols are constantly changing. Just as a certain field continues to improve, products in this field will continue to be subdivided.

In the past, idols were far away from fans, and they had to be given enough room for fantasy, but now they are closer, so close that they are almost close to fans is the best. In the past, idols were required to be mysterious, then idols were required to be perfect, and now idols are required to have flaws that are unique and charming.

The indicators for judging the quality of an idol are no longer those quantifiable business capabilities and singing and dancing levels, but the amount of traffic. As long as someone likes it, nothing else matters.

As far as the old chairman knows, there are already children who can't dance badly and sing badly in the market, and they have become idols. Bearing the label of "he is actually us who are ordinary, can't sing or dance well", relying on the likes of fans and the packaging ability of the team, they easily earn hundreds of millions of uncommon people. reward.

The old chairman cannot judge whether such an idol is right or wrong, he can only say that it does not conform to the consistent philosophy of their company.

The concept of [Blue Whale] is to convey the power of [belief].

Believe that there is nothing free in the world, so you have to practice hard and not wait for luck to hit your head.

Believe that sweat will not lie, so when others sleep more, get up earlier and practice more, so that you can make more progress.

We must believe in the power of love, so even if there is only one fan in the audience, the people on the stage must do their best to present the most perfect stage.

to believe...

It is precisely by adhering to these seemingly unrealistic concepts that [Blue Whale] has become a behemoth in the entertainment circle, and it will stand firm no matter how the times change.

To become a trainee of an idol artist is actually to gamble on the future with a few years of youth. If you win the bet, you become an artist, if you lose the bet, all your hard work is wasted. [Blue Whale] As a giant of an idol company, countless young people sign up every year, but there are always not many who can make their debut. However, most of the children who failed to make their debut and left [Blue Whale] did not resent [Blue Whale], but were still grateful, thinking that these years in [Blue Whale] were not wasted, because they learned how to dance and sing something more important than that.

Some of them returned to school and became people from all walks of life, some became platform anchors, backup dancers, and even teachers in artist training classes, and some even became artists through other means. Come back to the company to visit the old chairman. The old chairman is like their parents, urging them to practice, solving difficulties for them, and enlightening their confusion.

"Now that Teacher Han is back, we [Blue Whale] are really going to be invincible!"

"I saw the news this morning, Mr. Han seems to have reached the top of the [Best List]."

"Album or single?"

"Both the album and the single went to the top."

"Hiss...it's only been a few days? Three days! Two summits in three days! Teacher Han is too awesome!"

"None of the songs in [Suitable for Zhang Zishang] have been moved, which means that there is more than enough stock. I have to work hard and try to make my debut. After my debut, I will sing well. If I'm lucky, I might be able to invite Teacher Han to a song."

"Stop dreaming, do you think you are Brother Gu Fan?"

"You useless metaphors, how dare you insult me, Brother Gu Fan?"

"..."

As soon as the old chairman opened the door, he heard the children sitting on the floor chatting.

Seeing that two of them were about to fight, the old chairman planned to persuade them that fighting is bad, that fighting is wrong, that fighting is... If you like fighting so much, then go fight with Han Jue.

"Okay, don't compare, don't bother me to listen to the music!" Fortunately, there are still rational people in the crowd to persuade people, he pulled the two of them away, and put the mobile phone connected to the stereo on the ground. Yes, the music has already been chosen.

"I choose at random." The persuasion person said.

As soon as the voice fell, the mellow guitar sound like wine came out of the stereo.

【Don't assume I know

Everything is done for me

why so great

I can't feel it like this...]

The sound in the practice room is very good, every breath and sigh of Han Jue can be heard clearly.

The old chairman stopped and stood by the door, listening to the song with his hands behind his back.

It turned out to be this one.

this one.

【It's hard to leave, I want to hug you tighter

life is like a wilderness

Like a child who can rest on father's shoulders

who wants to get off

There are always some difficulties

so inescapable

No matter how cold the world is, think of this bicycle

There is still happiness to borrow...]

After the song ended, several young people's faces were filled with unfinished thoughts.

Listening to Han Jue's songs is a kind of enjoyment. Han Jue's singing skills have now reached the highest level in China, but there are actually not a few singers of the same level, but there are not many singers who can sing with Han Jue's infectious power.

Listening to Han Jue's songs is like walking into a movie, where you can see the picture, hear the sound, and touch the people in your fantasy.

"It's kind of sweet."

"It's touching."

"I remember Mr. Han said that he grew up alone. I thought he would at least...hate and dislike his father a little bit. I didn't expect to write such a warm song."

"Yeah yeah……"

Listening to the conversations of the young children, the old chairman didn't want to listen anymore. He turned around silently and walked out of the practice room silently.

Walking in the corridor, he still thinks about the song called "Bicycle" in his mind.

Is it warm?

The old chairman sighed and shook his head slightly.

He didn't feel it at all.

He has listened to this song countless times, and every time he listens to it, he only feels distressed.

Some listeners listen to the song without any intuitive expression. Once they reach the chorus part, they will be guided by the warm music and be infected by the picture of the father and son riding a bicycle in their minds. A song of fatherly love. But judging from the lyrics of the whole song, that's not the case at all.

[Why is it so great, I can’t feel it so much], [How can I believe this set], [Who do you care to love, and who do you rely on for charity] There are doubts and accusations everywhere. Questioning the silent father's love, accusing the lack of father's role.

Under such accusations, the warmth of the chorus part is set off to be very ironic. It was how desperately I searched in the memories, and I barely managed to get a trace of warmth from the informal hugs while cycling. What about other warmth? Gone.

The old chairman walked more and more slowly.

He walked in the corridor on this floor.

He saw the beverage vending machine on the side, and also saw a fist mark on the side of the vending machine. The old chairman remembered that this fist mark was left here by Han Jue before. He bought a bottle of drink, but it got stuck in it and did not fall out. Han Jue was so angry that he punched the machine, shaking it. The drink fell off, and the fist print was also left here.

Thinking of this, the old chairman laughed.

Looking forward, he remembered that he was here to discuss the right and wrong of a matter with Han Jue, and Han Jue, who became angry from embarrassment, took off the wig on his head.

In front is the toilet. The old chairman thought that Han Jue used to climb in from the toilet on this building, and danced in the practice room alone on the New Year's Eve, sweating profusely.

The old chairman smiled and touched his now shriveled belly. Of course, he also remembered that stubborn boy who was wearing new clothes and new shoes, crying and dancing.

ah.

The old chairman stopped, suddenly thought of something, and then the smile on his face gradually widened, and his steps became more and more relaxed.

He and Han Jue hugged each other. Not a biker hug, but a heart-to-heart hug.

The old chairman knew that he couldn't replace Han Jue's father, but he at least hoped that when Han Jue looked for the warmth in his memories in the future, he would not be disappointed and not feel that he was unloved.

One of the concepts of [Blue Whale]: The so-called [love] is actually [believe in the person you like]. Believe that you are not alone, and believe that the people around you will support you behind you.

The old chairman walked forward again.

"Xiao Han's birthday is next month..." the old chairman muttered, and while walking, he thought about how to celebrate Han Jue's thirtieth birthday well.

First of all, it must be called home, or go to a good hotel. The few dishes he likes are must-haves. Although he changed his taste when he was sick, he looks like he still likes spicy food when he is cured now. There are always so few dishes, which may not be enough. And this year there is one more person.

"We need to prepare some new dishes."

It was made public years ago! Don't worry!
