This star is from the earth

Note: "If This Isn't Love" - ​​Jacky Cheung

Eason Chan's version is also highly recommended.

For the female version, I recommend Yu Kewei's, which is also the version used in this chapter.

———————

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to sink, and the clouds were far apart from each other, just like the lounge and lounge in the backstage, without interfering with each other.

"Crossover Singer" is a music competition variety show that came out right after "Singer". Most of them imitate "Singer". , I am not a singer by profession. They are not too familiar with each other. Therefore, the backstage corridor is not as lively as ordinary music variety shows.

Weng Nanxi's coffee position is not the biggest in this season's "Crossover Singer", but her aura is the most touching. When she passes by, anyone's first reaction can only be to stabilize mind.

Weng Nanxi gave various winks along the way, and was watched into the lounge at the end of the corridor. At this point, the people in the corridor regained their sanity, recovered their volume, and talked about the principal's ups and downs just like the students who had sent the principal away.

...

Ever since being taught a song word by word, word by word, and breath every time, Weng Nanxi finally confirmed that her talent in singing is only average. In the days that followed, she seldom sang again. On the one hand, the way to play has opened up, and there is no need to earn a small amount of money from singing songs. On the other hand, if one thing cannot be done to the best, she will not waste her energy on doing it.

The guy who taught her singing encouraged her to put out an album, he wrote her songs. Although Weng Nanxi didn't take it seriously at the time, she continued to practice one after another. Occasionally, she would hide half of her hands and show half of her hands in the show, which would often attract amazing cheers from the audience. A record company came to ask her to release an album, but she refused, saying it wasn't that kind of material. Some music variety shows invited her to sing on stage, but she refused to go, saying that her level was not enough. After breaking up with that person, she practiced less.

Participating in "Crossover Singer" was Weng Nanxi's decision after returning from Sakura Country. At that time, the manager just asked the previous question according to the usual practice, but he didn't expect Weng Nanxi to agree. And the next day, a very famous vocal teacher was invited to practice the singing voice that had been put down for a long time.

Weng Nanxi was not angry with herself or anyone else, she just sat in the study and listened to "Under Mount Fuji" countless times, and suddenly wanted to try those "little rewards" things that she had dismissed before. . Moreover, this song is the only song he wrote to her without hatred, and she doesn't want to be able to sing this song well.

Anyway, idle is idle, she explained to her agent. After saying this, she immediately stopped her thoughts. I can't think about it anymore, otherwise I will think of a show, the song in the show, and then think of a certain person, a certain past memory.

She didn't pray for what kind of message this action would turn into that person's ears, she simply wanted to do it, and then she did it.

Weng Nanxi's team doesn't really believe that their artistes made such a temporary and unexpected decision just because they were "idle", but their habits over the years made them just act and execute orders for Weng Nan despite their doubts. Hope to strive for the interests of all aspects.

Weng Nanxi's assistant knows a little bit why, after all, he has heard of "Under Mount Fuji", which has driven several percentage points of the cherry blossom country's tourism industry. Just basic requirements. Weng Nanxi is about to start his own company, and he is still counting on following along with him so that his future will not be hindered.

Advertising sponsorship, the length of the shot, the position of the program poster and the size of the avatar, the order and focus of the copywriting, the quality of the draft... When everything is ready, cooperate with Weng Nanxi to be the first on the stage of "Crossover Singer" A stunning appearance, many people on the Internet were pleasantly surprised.

After all, not all actors have the legendary [delayed by acting] singing talent. Weng Nanxi's singing skills are not top-notch in this line of work, but she is considered a challenge. She has only crossed half a foot in this crossover, but the commercial value has already had a huge and greater room for improvement.

Those who are more popular than Weng Nanxi are not as good as her, and who are better than Weng Nanxi but are not as beautiful or popular as her. After several episodes, Weng Nanxi has become the well-deserved signature character of this season of "Crossover Singer". This is a great success for Weng Nanxi's team. For the rest of the contestants, however, it was failure.

In the face of failure, it is impossible for a group of people who survive in an environment where the winner is the king to remain indifferent.

In the far distance of the corridor, a young girl with ponytails ran anxiously.

An older woman recognized her and stopped her.

The young ponytail didn't wait to catch his breath, and eagerly reported the information he secretly collected in the studio just now: "Someone is going to sing Zhang Yiman's song this time! I heard it just now!"

The older woman frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"

The young ponytail nodded, thinking: [Mr. Zhang's song, how could I make a mistake! 】

As a member of Weng Nanxi's team, memorizing all the songs about Zhang Yiman - to be precise, all the songs written by Han Jue - is just a basic accomplishment. They always listen to Zhang Yiman's new songs carefully, carefully, and repeatedly! We must not let music leak into Weng Nanxi's ears in our daily work! Some dedicated ones will go to the fan group and listen to see if there are other songs.

The young Mawei is very dedicated, not only joined Zhang Yiman's fan group, but also secretly joined Lin Qin's fan group and Han Jue's fan group, pretending to infiltrate the enemy...

"Is there only one person singing Zhang Yiman's song, or several people?" asked the older woman.

"Ah? I don't know about this," the young ponytail shook his head, a little panicked: "I ran over as soon as I heard it..."

"Okay, got it." The older woman nodded, and waved her hand for Ponytail to stare at again.

The ponytail bounced and ran away again.

The woman lowered her head and groaned, knowing that Weng Nanxi was blocking the way of others, and everyone dared not to tear it openly, so they were going to secretly poke and disgust people, waiting to see people laugh.

The woman turned and pushed open the door behind her.

Inside the door is a large lounge. People were standing or sitting in groups, some were arranging jewelry sponsored by jewelry brands, some were arranging tonight’s performance costumes, and some were resting against the wall, ready to be called at any time. Weng Nanxi was sitting alone on the sofa against the wall, without makeup on, holding two pages of lyrics filled with annotations. Just like trying to figure out the script, she also figured out the lyrics.

The woman walked into the lounge and stood three meters away from Weng Nanxi, reminding Weng Nanxi that she had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Weng Nanxi raised his eyes and asked her.

The woman leaned over and told Weng Nanxi what she heard from Mawei just now.

Weng Nanxi oh for a moment: Got it.

"What should we do?" The older woman was obviously Weng Nanxi's manager, but she asked Weng Nanxi immediately when she encountered a problem.

"Small things." Weng Nanxi glanced at the manager.

The manager took a deep breath. She didn't know whether she smelled the fragrance of Weng Nanxi's body or was infected by the indifference in Weng Nanxi's eyes. Her mood immediately stabilized.

Weng Nanxi lifted the water on the coffee table and took a sip, and when he put it down again, he had already made a decision.

"Talk to the director, let's change the song." Weng Nanxi said.

The manager was surprised: "Is there time?" Actually, he wanted to ask, what's the use of changing the song?

Weng Nanxi nodded. in time. it works.

The agent stopped dissuading him, and went to find the staff outside the door and asked the other party to report the matter.

The director rushed over after hearing the news, with a face full of embarrassment, and advised Weng Nanxi not to be so impulsive.

Weng Nanxi just looked at the director playfully.

As a director, how could he not know what kind of reaction there would be when the show was broadcast after the song Han Jue wrote to Zhang Yiman was sung there? Weng Nanxi could even think of where her shots would appear when singing this song on stage.

Don't you just want ratings?

Simple.

"I'll change to this one." Weng Nanxi showed the phone to the director.

"It's not a question of which song to change, the question is..." The director stopped talking as soon as he looked at the phone. He was stunned for a moment, and then a helpless expression of suppressing surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you sure you want to change?" The director sighed, very helpless.

Weng Nanxi nodded. She is like a dutiful supporting role, accompanying the director to complete a scene.

"That's fine." The director seemed to be defeated by Weng Nanxi's stubbornness, and he said, "You are the last rehearsal, and there is no one behind, so you can take a little longer, and practice hard."

After Weng Nanxi thanked her, she took the team and rushed to the studio to rehearse the new song with the music director.

...

The audience entered the arena in an orderly manner, and all departments took their positions. "Crossover Singer" was recorded as scheduled.

Several participating singers sat in their respective waiting rooms, but their hearts were connected because they had already passed the gas beforehand. At this time, their faces were full of expectations for the success of a conspiracy.

They didn't know each other very well at first, but Weng Nanxi made them acquainted and united them.

Although Han Jue's current number one gossip girlfriend is Lin Qin and not Zhang Yiman, they still chose Zhang Yiman's songs, and those songs Han Jue wrote for Zhang Yiman. "Slowly Like You" was written by Han Jue in Qiong Province, and "Bloody Love Story" is also a song called "Han Jue's Complaint against Weng Nanxi" on the Internet. Picking these two songs to sing is definitely provocative Bursting.

It is a risk to choose Zhang Yiman's song to cover, because it will be compared, but everyone here is from across the border, and they don't have as many concerns as professional singers-singing Zhang Yiman's song is compared by Zhang Yiman. Isn't it the law of nature?

The game begins.

Weng Nanxi played in the second position.

In the previous games, Weng Nanxi sang rock and pop songs. The content of the songs has nothing to do with love, which fits her aura and personality very well.

Among the contestants, playful smiles have already appeared. I heard that Weng Nanxi's song selection for this issue is also the same route. At that time, she has just finished singing a song with the attitude of an independent woman, and then she will welcome the majestic "Bloody Love Story" and the tenderness and sweetness. "Slowly Like You", which is really fun.

Weng Nanxi came on stage.

The accompaniment starts to play. First the drums, then the piano, and then the guitar and maracas also followed the rhythm. They rang happily, interweaving a lively prelude. However, at a certain point, they all stopped, the joy stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse.

Weng Nanxi raised the microphone and said quietly:

[If you love, you have to be patient, don't ask if you should

It's all my fault, I turned around and walked away...]

Weng Nanxi sang softly, calmly and calmly. The accompaniment instruments were slowly added back again and again, guitar, maracas... the notes were jumping, but the joy could no longer be felt.

Just after listening to the first line of the lyrics, someone in the audience suddenly covered their mouths, as if this was the only way to prevent the screams from disturbing the performance on stage. Others asked what was wrong with their eyes. This is not "Singer", so the reaction shouldn't be so big. But they just looked at Weng Nanxi without blinking, silently digesting the shock in their hearts.

Those people in the backstage were reminded by the people on the side, and they were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Weng Nanxi has already sung Han Jue's song generously, and the topics they will create next will only be picking up people's teeth.

【Could it be that sacrifice is wonderful and pain is real?

To shed tears for you proves love...]

Han Jue's "The Runaway" has been on sale for nearly half a month. In the past half month, new songs about Han Jue can be heard everywhere. All kinds of publicity, coupled with the recommendations of people around, quite a few of the audience present have actively or passively listened to the songs in Han Jue's new album.

As the song progressed, the memories of other people in the audience were gradually awakened, and they knew that it was Han Jue's song. Then more and more viewers looked at Weng Nanxi with expressions of excitement or shock.

After Han Jue and Weng Nanxi's old relationship was exposed, Weng Nanxi and Han Jue didn't mention each other very much except for the initial explanation. Both of them are quite determined people in some respects, and they don't easily spoil others, so no matter what outsiders ask, they never mention it. As time passed, everyone got used to their past relationships being treated coldly.

But now, Weng Nanxi actually sang Han Jue's song.

Moreover, the choice is still such a song.

【If this is not love, why am I so sad

Thank you for your generosity, I deserve it

If this is not love, why am I so sad

You just need to be expected, don't really love...]

When it came to the chorus, the accompaniment became exciting. But Weng Nanxi's voice is still cold and clear, and her gestures are full of elegance.

With the help of the program band, Weng Nanxi's song "If This Isn't Love" is different from the original song.

The song was sung in a hurry, and no one taught her every word, word by word, and breath every time, but she sang it as if she had been practicing for a long, long time.

It's not that her talent has suddenly become higher, but that she has heard enough.

[What kind of confession is needed, it is not a monologue

It's all my fault, I turned around and walked away...]

After all, Weng Nanxi sang this song for the first time. Because it was the first time I sang, I couldn't hide the agitation in my heart.

She stood under the spotlight, like a piece of ice was placed in the sun. Gradually melted away, gradually became weak, and gradually thought of many things.

From the second paragraph, the audience gradually realized that Weng Nanxi, who was standing in the center of the stage, suddenly closed his eyes and lost his composure. Sometimes he would turn his head sideways and purse his lips, trying to swallow all the complexity.

After a few epilogues, he began to tremble. In a few lyrics, the voice began to be hoarse, almost whispering.

Weng Nanxi tried her best to maintain her emotions, but her voice control was youthful and unsophisticated. The audience sensed it.

"do not Cry……"

"Come on!" The audience shouted from the audience.

Shouts and encouragement were thrown onto the stage one after another.

Weng Nanxi heard it, a little strange:

I cried? how can i cry

She opened her eyes and wanted to follow the sound, but found that the vision ahead was no longer clear.

In the blink of an eye, his vision became clear, but something seemed to scratch his face.

The audience in the audience could only see Weng Nanxi's dazed eyes, and two lines of tears running down her beautiful face. For a moment, the audience felt as if their hearts were tightly grasped by a hand, their noses were sore, and they all shed tears.

Weng Nanxi felt the coolness from his eyes, and realized that he was crying unconsciously.

But in the next second, Weng Nanxi's reaction was: I can't cry.

She can't cry. Because the person who taught her singing once said that singers cannot cry on stage. The singer's duty is to sing a song well for the audience to listen to. It may be touching to cry and choke in the middle, but it is still a stage accident, and the singer is negligent. "If you can't finish the song perfectly, you are dereliction of duty."

But, when Weng Nanxi thought of this and the person who spoke, her tears flowed even more violently.

How can I cry so much... Weng Nanxi blamed herself. In fact, she doesn't like to cry, but this year is the most special, she almost shed all the tears in the first half of her life.

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry...

[Your feelings are too easy to cut off, delete the future in a blink of an eye

My heart is blank for you...]

Weng Nanxi's voice trembled, the beat missed, the words were swallowed vaguely, and the tune was erratic, but she still tried her best to sing the song.

There is no doubt that such a stage is bad, but at the same time, it is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

It is said that listening to songs is actually listening to their own stories through songs, but the song "If This Isn't Love" in front of them may never be forgotten in their lifetime. I can't forget the stories of others in this song.

The eye sockets of almost everyone in the audience were wet. They just listened to the song, watching the woman on the stage weeping, staring blankly into the distance, and singing.

A song just wobbled to the end.

【What I want is worship, not someone's love. 】

The song is over.

Amid the warm applause and crying cheers, Weng Nanxi returned to reality from the song, calmed down, put on a smile, and bowed.

She had a vague feeling that she had sung the last sentence just now by mistake.

She thought about it, and felt in a daze that she seemed to sing correctly.

These few songs in the new album are to respond to the family, friendship, love and himself of the predecessor. I struggled with this chapter for a long time, and finally decided to complete it. This situation should never happen again in the future.
