Lin Chu, who studied at the Polytechnic University, occasionally thinks of the summer of that year, the 57 Degrees Band of Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, the unprofessional and not entertaining student band that was temporarily put together by a young and energetic new music teacher.

The program was very simple, and the motives were very simple, there was no American movie of a student band's exhilarating and vigorous counterattack, they gathered four people randomly, just for the simple student performance in the humble auditorium, the background of the curtain pasted with red silk and colored paper, and the red and glamorous performance makeup painted on everyone's faces.

It may recall the radiant splendor, but the reality is actually just a commonplace and simple scene of the era, and it is difficult to understand the warm atmosphere without being in it.

In those two years, the long preparation for the performance of the art festival was tantamount to a bit of a crooked way, and a music teacher who had just graduated from the conservatory and was dedicated to cultivating the musical soil in high school seemed to be a bit of a fate no matter how you look at it.

However, this teacher is still very persistent, and he has pulled a group of students who have no talent, which actually proves that the teacher actually does not have much talent in music education, so the performance of their band was only passable after many rehearsals, and only relied on Cheng Ran's protrusion and the sword of the song he sang to win applause.

The overall cooperation can only be said to be hard enough, but the talent is still limited, and it is estimated that in the eyes of the female teacher at that time, Qin Xizhen, it seems too "unpretentious".

For example, if an outstanding painter looks at a lifeless mediocre work, she cannot be said to be angry, but it can only be said that this group of students must be a gift from God, so that she can understand that God treats her well and gives her enough talent.

At that time, the beautiful teacher Xiao Qin, and now the queen Qin Xizhen, in order to catch up with their group of ducks on the shelves, or give birth to music cells, they really wronged themselves.

But for Lin Chu, it was one of the most peculiar experiences of his life.

Then he, Fu Xiao, Zhang Qi, since Qin Xizhen and Cheng Ran left successively, they often get together, even if they go to different cities to go to college, every year when they go back to Shanhai during the holidays, no matter how busy they are, they have to take a time, just the three of them, get together, even if it's just chatting in the shop, or who listens to the song, talking about Qin Xizhen's latest single, and doesn't talk about the past, only focusing on the current life.

But even in the school where the three of them lived, even the closest classmates and roommates had never heard them talk about this past.

The former "little fat man" Fu Xiao has now become a tall and handsome guy, who used to be the drummer of the 57 Degrees Band, and he occasionally heard his college classmates discuss Qin Xizhen's singer but was not swayed by capital, and defeated the deeds of capital to create his own music platform. Listening to those discussions, Qin Xizhen talked about the world's top ten outstanding young people and the world's outstanding Chinese awards, and how awesome she was at the World Music Awards for the highest sales in Asia......

I also heard the gossip of Qin Xizhen, Qin Xizhen's cultural export phenomenon is more valued by the state, some people say that she is a domestic phenomenon singer, the role of a bridge connecting Asia, Europe and the United States, she has also obtained a lot of official status, ambassador, vice chairman of the Pop Music Society of the Music Association, member of the Art Federation...... Even on her most recent country visit, she performed a song as a cultural ambassador for the mission.

Zhang Qi, who used to be the bassist of the band 57 Degrees, heard calluses from his roommates about Qin Xizhen's topic, and the circle that likes her also talks about seniority, many people judge honor by the degree of their own listening to her songs, the earlier they listen to her songs, the more they are qualified, not to mention the heavy pride. He even shows a unique taste by knowing that it is not in the popular field, but a work that is rarely disseminated in folk music.

Some of them are contemplators or controversies because of disagreement or the same opinion, and even tear up over which song represents the pinnacle of a style. And every time someone interjects and asks her, "Zhang Qi, do you know that Qin Xizhen's golden sound area, even if it is the bel canto queen Whitney at her peak, she can't take much advantage of her?"

Or popularize it to her, "The reason why she is said to be a Chinese diva is because a singer can basically no longer adapt to other vocal areas after focusing on the vocal area and direction in his singing career, but it can be converted freely and without hindrance, which is no longer called a textbook, because others can't learn it at all!".

She would nod quietly, "That's amazing." ”

However, it is often because of the other party's vigorous show-off and desire to talk about her lack of interest after encountering such a bland response, so he can only find another bosom friend to talk about it.

The three of them looked at the people around them chatting about the person they once knew, and they also sincerely felt satisfied and proud.

It's just that the three of them can't help but have some regrets, and in the end, none of them embarked on the path that Qin Xizhen expected.

Fu Xiao studied language, Zhang Qi studied management, and he Lin Chu was studying architecture, and the instruments they used to play never picked up again.

Lin Chu smiled and shook his head, feeling that he might have failed Qin Xizhen in the end, but just like the news from Cheng Ran from the University of Science and Technology, they may not have been able to embark on the road of music, but they still learned something from Qin Xizhen-

Even if the outside world is a rotten swamp quagmire, you have to stand by yourself.

……

People will always have a lot of topics about Qin Xizhen. After all, while it's not uncommon for a best-selling singer to become known with one or two popular songs. But for Qin Xizhen, there will be too many "special features".

For example, she has been fighting against Song Stealing from the first moment of her life, and her rise process is also a history of slaughter that seems to others to be enthusiastic. She came from a musical family, but she was not what the stereotype is, it seems that her master father never interfered too much with her practice of music, nor did he pave the way for her, predetermined her life, and her growth depended on her own search and love for music.

For example, her friendship and mutual appreciation with the Stars of the Riggs couple is a good story, and she was invited to sing the theme song for the game Final Fantasy 10, which went viral.

She started from a singer-songwriter to a producer and even the president of Tianxing Music, signed many potential singers, held up the seeds of the record industry, and she can continue to launch amazing and gorgeous works, and she is also building a woman in China's electronic music aircraft carrier.

In fact, Qin Xizhen also talked to Cheng Ran on the phone because of the science and technology core incident, and learned that Cheng Ran is actually waiting for their chip to be taped out and accumulate accurate evidence, so the current ban on this matter at the media level is actually reducing the attention and popularity of this matter, which is quite unfavorable to Cheng Ran.

After determining this, Qin Xizhen decided her way.

If this is selfishness, then allow yourself to be selfish for the rest of your life after you get that news.

……

"In this way, the recording in the future has to be pushed back?...... It's not a question of whether the TV station is afraid of offending...... Of course it can be adjusted. Chen Muyi was over there to make a corresponding reference for Qin Xizhen's full itinerary and raised his head.

"So you're negotiating with TT Telecom in advance, and you want to use this to disrupt the price alliance on the Japanese side? It's a bit risky, but it's not impossible. Or do nothing, take a break, after all, the intensity is high recently, paying attention to the body is the first priority, where do you want to go on vacation? Japan eats Wagyu beef in hot springs, or goes to Cinque Terre, you said last time you want to shoot a few sets of skirts there, the weather in Italy has been good lately......"

Seeing Qin Xizhen shaking his head, Chen Muyi said, "That's to go to the United States to record in advance, or if you work for a while, it's time to precipitate, after all, there are still master tuners waiting, then I'll let Arthur free up time, he said last time that his new villa in Beverly had built a first-class recording studio, and the first two recorded there were Beyoncé and Jay, he said I don't know if you can be lucky enough to be the third, but I have been thinking about the whiskey cellar in his house for a long time......"

"No......" Qin Xizhen still shook his head and said to Chen Muyi, "You help me book a ticket to Nanzhou." ”

Chen Muyi's work board was put down, his face was a little dazed at first, and then his eyes gradually opened with the sudden opening of his eyes, with surprise and surprise.

……

Contrary to everyone's imagination, Cheng Ran's life on campus is not the busiest, only more busy, except for the Vice President of HKUST Huang Pei who came to find Cheng Ran, and the Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology also talked to him, there was no too drastic action on the part of HKUST.

Both sides of the incident are at the University of Science and Technology, but in fact, the battlefield is not here, but on those invisible positions, and public opinion, influence, and high-level leaders also collide. Even HKUST understands that it is not the University of Science and Technology that is the one who will lead or even adjudicate this war, so it is actually a very wise strategy for the university to hold its ground.

Deng Xihua's class listens to algorithms, Professor Tu's class burns brain-burning computational physics, there is a kind of lecture on aviation history, but the assignment makes you build a fighter plane to fight World War II.

And the Tianxing Laboratory is still as usual, as if it has not been affected by this struggle, the laboratory personnel are still carrying out their work in an orderly manner according to the plan, the schedule is gradually advancing, and it seems that the normal operation has not been disturbed by this wave.

In addition to the sudden increase in security, it is only through the strict daily registration of outsiders that the invisible potential energy is brewing on and off campus.

Walking across the main square at dusk after class that day, Li Wei shook his head, "In the future, whoever wants to say that he is doing well in the University of Science and Technology will compare Cheng Ran's events today, and whoever can make Lao Zhang, a mathematical statist of probability theory, put forward it alone when assigning homework and say, 'You don't have to be in a hurry', then it will be considered a teacher." ”

Although some professors at HKUST are unable to express their opinions directly at the moment, they still express their opinions in this "special" way.

Shi Jiaxun looked at Cheng Ran and his party walking on the other side of the square from a distance, the two sides were facing each other, and it was good for him, Shi Jiaxun was going to look for him today, but it was not Guoxin's business, and this matter was not something that the deputy director of the management committee like him could intervene in, and about the real situation of the incident, although the University of Science and Technology is now cautious and cautious, and no conclusion will be given before the truth is out, but whether Cheng Ran is slandered with ulterior motives as some remarks say, as long as people who know this young man, most of them will have their own judgment, just like some professors who take special care of him and support him in their own way。

And everyone knows that now the outside is suppressed by a huge force, Shi Jiaxun's office heard a sensational statement, what kind of person and what kind of power can make so many media silent, and when I think about it carefully, I feel a chill down my spine and shudder.

At this time, Shi Jiaxun can't provide any substantial help to Cheng Ran, and he can't make any comfort to him, only he knows that this kind of behavior is superfluous in front of that young man at this time, so he came to discuss it with him just as a daily activity in the class, just talking about ordinary things, and not involving the family and the country. Shi Jiaxun can see his state from these ordinary things, or rather, give him an alternative comfort, as if life is still going on as usual, and there is no need to repay it because of the disturbances and waves of the outside world.

A car came from the main road in front of him and stopped on Cheng Ran's side, it was in the afterglow of the setting sun, the car door opened, and a woman walked down.

After seeing the comer, several people around Cheng Ran were directly petrified.

In the square over there, many people stopped and looked at the focus that might most likely stir up external anger.

Shi Jiaxun stood there, he didn't have any thoughts now, but he just thought of the scene when he let his wife bribe the leader of the hospital because of a concert ticket for the other party, and Shi Jiaxun successfully made him Shi Jiaxun receive a lot of favors.

And judging from the movement on the other side of the square at this time, it is most likely that he is not dazzled.

Although life in the face of adversity should be rewarded with songs.

But this song is not too violent.
