Chapter 200: Life Choices and Choices
The filming site of "Rising Star Camp" was in Truong Ho province, which is several provinces away from Don Giang province. Therefore, if you want to arrive at your destination on time the next day, you need to get up early and take the high-speed train to Binzhou City, the capital of Changhe Province.
Of course, in addition to Chu Li and Zhu Xiao, the people who accompanied him also included Zhu Xiao's good girlfriend and "agent" Weng Linghua. When she went to pick up Weng Linghua, she also dragged a small suitcase. It is said that it contained clothes and cosmetics that she had carefully prepared.
Chu Li really has to complain about this, the current high school students are not doing their homework well, and they have learned a lot of various skills.
According to the plan of the second round of pre-selection of "Rising Star Camp", 200 contestants selected from all over the country will be on the heavyweight stage for the first time and will be commented on by four professional judges (Zhou Li is missing, and new judges are temporarily added). This is quite important for every girl who has a dream, and this pre-selection is quite important.
The 200 contestants will have five minutes to perform on stage, and the judges will score the contestants based on their performance. In the end, the 30 contestants with the highest scores stayed to participate in the later recordings, and the rest were all eliminated. And the performances of the 200 contestants will be edited into the first video of the show for the national audience to "review".
Therefore, today's caucuses are likely to be a seemingly harmonious, but in fact undercurrent, bloody battle.
Faced with such a reality, Zhu Xiao, who usually doesn't take the pre-selection seriously, is also a little nervous. Since taking the high-speed train, Zhu Xiao has been rehearsing the show to be performed this afternoon over and over again with Weng Linghua.
The seating design on the high-speed rail is a group of six seats, and the three seats are seated in a row and two by two. Fortunately, there were only three of them in the six seats of Chu Li's group, so the space was a little spacious.
But Chu Li didn't listen carefully to what rehearsals were being rehearsed by Zhu Xiao, but turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chu Li had actually heard the repertoire recorded by Zhu Xiao when he participated in the audition, but he was not proficient in music theory. I just heard Weng Linghua and Mi Yulan boast that the bamboo flute can use only their throats and sing the feeling of reverberation. Unfortunately, Chu Li didn't know if it was a very powerful skill.
Bamboo flute
I have been practicing with Weng Linghua for a long time. There was still an hour before their destination, and the two finally stopped to rest due to exhaustion. Maybe it was because this was the second time that Chu Li had accompanied them out of the house, so Weng Linghua didn't have anything to worry about when he spoke
"Brother Chu Li, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Not yet, I haven't been looking for a girlfriend for personal reasons. ”
Weng Linghua's eyebrows raised: "Hmm, could it be that Brother Chu Li is a Dink, or is it a single nobleman?"
Chu Li was not surprised by Weng Linghua's jumping thinking: "Of course not, I just haven't found it yet, or it's too early for someone like me to get married." What do you ask for? ”
"Hee-hee, I discussed it with my wife the other day. In the future, we don't want children, and the two of us live a happy and happy world for two. Weng Linghua hugged the bamboo flute intimately and said.
What's going on in your high school heads?
"Ahem, cough, I said that you want to get married or not now, and whether you can have children, is it too early. ”
Zhu Xiao pouted and waved his hand: "It's not early, it's not early." You see that it takes nine years to prepare for a college entrance examination, how can you not prepare in advance for a major event such as getting married and having children. ”
Chu Li supported his right cheek with his hand: "Don't you girls all want to get married and have children as soon as possible and have a happy family, how can you be different." ”
"Brother Chu Li, your idea is too straight and too traditional. Girls should have husbands and children, and the idea of passing on the family line has long been outdated. It hurts so much if you want to have a child, it is so expensive to raise a child, and it is possible that he will come back to gnaw at the old age when you raise a child. Nowadays, young people still want to have children. ”
"In today's society, whether you get married or have children or not is your own business. But none of the three reasons you just mentioned can be completely reasons for not having children. Chu Li looked at the two girls with a smile.
Weng Linghua blinked: "Ah, for... Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Have you ever been to some of the developed countries where there are good medical facilities and better fertility benefits?
Many people earn more from government subsidies than when they have children; when they get old, the state also has a superior pension and various benefits. But even under these conditions, the fertility rate in those countries is still very low, you know what that means?"
"Meaning... What does it mean?" Weng Linghua, who was stunned, didn't know what it was.
It means that with the continuous progress of society, marriage and having children have changed from a mandatory option to an alternative. Hundreds of years ago, or even decades ago, people had so few choices about their lives. After a woman reaches a certain age, if she wants to start a new life, then there is basically no other choice but to get married and have children.
But in today's era of rapid technological development, you can open a new stage of your life at any time if you want to. The choice of life is no longer single. So there's no need for you to worry about whether to get married or whether to have children. When you want to start a new life in the future, it's not too late for you to think about it when you see the option of getting married and having children. ”
Chu Li's gaze drifted to Zhu Xiao: "Because everything in the world is just a choice and a choice." ”
Weng Linghua, who listened to Chu Li's words, stared at this big eye, and his face was full of question marks: "I...... I didn't understand it at all. ”
Chu Li was caught off guard and stretched out his hand and flicked it on Weng Linghua's skull: "If you don't understand, it's right, at your age, you should read more books." Do more questions, like you can still have so many cranky thoughts now, it must be because of the homework assigned by the school......"
Weng Linghua, who was covering her forehead, felt a little strange when she heard Chu Li not continue in the middle of speaking. When he just looked up and was about to ask Chu Li what he wanted to say, he found that Chu Li was staring at him motionless.
"Uh, Brother Chu Li, what are you watching me do, is there anything on my face?" Weng Linghua was embarrassed.
The bamboo flute on the side pulled her best friend's clothes: "Linghua, something is wrong, look around." ”
Saying that, Weng Linghua looked up and looked around, and found that everyone in the entire carriage, except for the two of them, seemed to have been stopped by time, either standing or sitting, not moving!
