Chapter 16: A New Beginning (Prologue Finale, 4000 words)
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye in the third year of high school, Jiang Chao's physical age finally caught up with his psychological age.
The height of more than 1.8 meters is a head tall in Qianhe Province, with long legs and long arms, and he perfectly inherited his mother's athletic talent.
Jiang Chao's facial features have also grown, clean and handsome, and his temperament is as calm as ever.
All in all, Jiang Chao has been smooth all the way.
Learning.
Jiang Chao has the experience of being a human being in two lifetimes, and has a high IQ inherited from his father, and his grades before high school have always been the top two in middle school. As an important cultural and educational city in Qianhe Province, although Jinjiang City can only be counted as a fourth-tier city in terms of economy, it is definitely a second-tier city in the country in terms of culture and education!
As the best high school in Jinjiang City, Jinjiang No. 1 Middle School ranks in the top two of No. 1 Middle School, which can basically be equated with the top 20 in the province.
It's just that in high school, especially in the third year of high school, the knowledge of the previous life is no longer enough, and Jiang Chao has to start focusing part of his studies on his studies. Although there is more than one way out for him to study, Jiang Chao still hopes to be admitted to a university that makes his parents proud.
Fortunately, Jiang Chao's learning ability is top-notch, and his mathematical talent inherited from his father makes his mathematics score rarely lower than 145 points.
Third in the whole school. This is Jiang Chao's current achievement.
Of course, Jiang Chao didn't put down the music.
The first is the piano.
After years of uninterrupted practice, day after day, and his talent as a master, the piano has become an extension of his body, as long as his fingers touch the keys, it is like a nerve and the piano are connected.
The music of expression is as you like, and the technique is perfect.
In terms of performance level alone, Jiang Chao and the master are just one step away, it may be a step away, or it may be a moment of inspiration.
Jiang Chao hasn't had time to participate in several piano competitions yet. But he is not in a hurry, there are opportunities in the future.
In addition to the improvement of classical music and piano performance, Jiang Chao has also made great progress in pop music.
At present, Jiang Chao has released three songs on Yunle with the ID of "Mi Jiang".
In addition to the arrangement, recording, mixing, and sound repair of the first "Hello Tomorrow" is led by Lao Yu throughout the process, the second song "Little Lucky" and the third song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" are all produced by Jiang Chao himself.
Although it was plagiarism, Jiang Chao shamelessly signed the singer-songwriter by his own name. Who made it impossible for these songs to be written by the original author in this lifetime?
The stylistic differences between these three songs are obvious, and the only common feature is that they sound good.
Ordinary people listen to music as harshly as professional musicians. The melody is ear-catching, the singer's timbre is good, the lyrics are resonant, two of them are enough for this song to have a very high degree of singing, if you have all three, you have the opportunity to become a classic of the era!
Except for the old fish, no one knows who Mi Jiang really is.
But this does not affect Mijiang to gain a large number of fans on the Internet.
At first, college students and some high school students on Yunle met Mi Jiang through a song "Hello Tomorrow", and later released two songs one after another made them die-hard fans of Mi Jiang.
In general, although the themes of these three songs of Mi Jiang are different, they can resonate more with high school and college students, so most of the people who like Mi Jiang are concentrated in groups with high cultural quality.
Jiang Chao, as always, has not replied to comments on the Internet, so his image of "Mi Jiang" is very mysterious.
As a result, there have been many speculations and discussions around Mijiang on the Internet.
But with the implementation of the real-name system for national network users, Jiang Chao also had to authenticate the ID of "Mi Jiang" on Yunle with his real name, but fortunately, his information is protected by law, and Yunle is also considered to be disciplined, promising not to reveal his true identity to the public.
After the real-name authentication, several entertainment companies contacted Jiang Chao through Yunle's channels, saying that they wanted to buy the copyright of Jiang Chao's songs.
After thinking about it again, Jiang Chao sold the copyrights of the three songs respectively.
"Hello Tomorrow" was bought by the well-known Taiwanese singer Zhang Shaoyun, with her top singing skills and unique timbre, this song was interpreted more perfectly by her, and once became Zhang Shaoyun's masterpiece in recent times.
And "Little Lucky" was bought by a Taiwanese film company, and it is said that it will shoot a youth movie of the same name to use as the theme song.
These three songs brought Jiang Chao millions of income.
Jiang Chao took money very lightly, but the Medal of Wealth in his consciousness required him to work hard to obtain wealth.
Millions of incomes, but only a few dozen small stars have increased, and there is still a long way to go to fill the Medal of Wealth.
brought income, in addition to the three pop songs, it was "One Slap Superman".
One Slap Superman has been updated to fifty-one chapters, and he has a large fan base in the Chinese comic industry.
But after all, comics belong to non-mainstream entertainment, and Guoman is even more niche. So at present, "One Slap Superman" has not reached the same popularity as before Jiang Chao's rebirth.
In fact, many of the great manga explosions often start with manga anime.
Compared to manga, anime has a much larger audience. A lot of people go to the original manga because of anime.
And the progress of Weiwei Society's comic change to "One Slap Superman" has been delayed again and again due to funding reasons. They have ambitions and are determined to produce an epoch-making work that breaks the existing pattern of Guoman, so they keep negotiating with investors, so they have not finalized the decision.
Fortunately, Jiang Chao and Zhou Ziran are both people who don't value money very much, and for them, the well-made animated version is the most important thing, so they let Weiwei Society and capital mediate.
In this regard, Weiwei Society was very moved. Because they also know that if Zhou Ziran and Jiang Chao nod, they will immediately be able to obtain the high copyright fees of some large companies.
At present, "One Slap Superman" can bring Jiang Chao an income of nearly 10,000 yuan per month.
And the "IP" craze is also quietly emerging.
Athletic aspects.
Jiang Chao's sports training also did not fall behind.
In addition to basketball and martial arts, Jiang Chao also practiced track and field with his mother for a period of time.
Athletics training can greatly develop the athlete's explosiveness, coordination and other aspects of physical fitness. This also makes track and field athletes tend to have a more physical advantage when switching to other sports.
Now, if you take off Jiang Chao's loose school uniform, you will find that he looks well-proportioned and thin, but he is actually a sturdy body full of beauty, especially his abdominal muscles, which are neat and tidy like a knife.
It is worth mentioning that the shape of the abdominal muscles is genetically determined, asymmetry is the norm, and symmetrical abdominal muscles like Jiang Chao are rare, which shows that he still has the potential to be a model.
In the 100 meters, Jiang Chao rushed into 10.4 seconds, breaking the Jinjiang City record and tying the provincial record in one fell swoop, and easily won the first place in the Municipal Games with this result. For this reason, the cultural and sports bigwigs in the provincial system personally came to invite Jiang Chao to join the sports team in the system.
Indeed, if you can run this result at Jiang Chao's age, after more professional training, you are definitely expected to hit the world championship!
And Jiang Chao's mother, Milan, as a former national-level athlete, naturally knows this.
But Jiang Chao simply refused the invitation.
Later, the former coaches of Milan came to intercede, but they still failed to change Jiang Chao's mind.
Without him, if he becomes a professional athlete, Jiang Chao's life will have to go all the way to the dark, which he is unwilling.
However, the bigwigs in the system did not give up, so that they made a lot of efforts later, which is not to be mentioned later.
Then there's the basketball side and the fighting side.
Basketball, Jiang Chao has always practiced by himself, his basic skills are very solid, and his physical fitness is explosive. From the perspective of physical fitness alone, Jiang Chao is not inferior to Iverson at all, and even has an advantage in static talents such as height and arm span.
His shot was accurate. At present, the NBA is still in the transition period between inside confrontation and outside ball, so the field court is also dominated by breakthroughs. And Jiang Chao knows the trend of basketball in the future, and has been training long-range shooting ability for a long time.
Jiang Chao tried to shoot 98 three-pointers in a row, breaking the record of 97 for Curry, a basketball superstar who redefined three-pointers in the future, but no one knows about his record.
It's all thanks to his talent.
But in the past year, Jiang has not been happy.
Because, the grandparents still passed away one after another.
Throughout the sophomore year of high school, Jiang Chao ran at the hospital, school, and home.
After all, the two old people still couldn't resist the erosion of time and disease, and when Jiang Chao was a sophomore in high school, his physical condition deteriorated sharply, and he was not as good as he was day by day.
Fortunately, when they left, they walked very peacefully.
The saddest and sadest is naturally Jiang Jin. However, as the head of the family, he did not have time to calm down in sentimentality.
After handling the funeral of the two old men, Jiang Jin and Milan decided to move the family to the provincial capital after discussion.
Jiang Jin finally accepted the invitation of the best university in the provincial capital.
After learning the news, Jiang Chao was not much surprised. Jiang Chao knew that his father had been staying in Jinjiang City all the time to take care of the two old people. And now, my father is going to do what he likes, and Jiang Chao is of course fully supportive.
Only, if you want to transfer schools......
It was still the café where Guo Decheng invited Jiang Chao for the first time.
"Well, if you go to the provincial capital...... Then I will listen to my parents and go abroad. ”
Jiang Chao nodded, he knew that Guo Decheng's parents had always persuaded him to study abroad, but because of the bonds of friendship, Guo Decheng had never made up his mind.
Guo Decheng is still half a head shorter than Jiang Chao, and now he looks much more stable than when he first met. The two of them have been friends since the first year of junior high school, and they have been close friends until now.
"It's been a while since we've been separated. ”
"Don't be so pretentious, okay?" Jiang Chao shook his head and smiled.
Guo Decheng sighed, and said angrily: "You guy, you always look much more mature than me." ”
Jiang Chao leaned lightly on the sofa and laughed.
Then, silence.
Both of them had a lot to say, but they didn't open their mouths after thinking about it. Also, what you want to say, the other party probably knows.
The best state of a friend is not to talk about everything, but not to talk to anyone, and not to feel embarrassed.
"Dude...... Let's go out for a walk. Guo Decheng laughed.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Remember the first time you saw me?"
"I don't remember. I suggest you forget about it too. ”
"Look, Yinmao!" Jiang Chao laughed and hurriedly ran away.
Guo Decheng was stunned for a moment, and then chased after him with a red face: "Get out!"
The shadow of the chase and slapstick gradually lengthened.
Men, no matter how old they are, sometimes look like children.
……
When he got home, Jiang Chao sat in front of the computer, looked at the avatar of a girl on the penguin, hesitated for a moment and clicked on the dialog box.
"Are you there?"
Moment.
"In. Hey, you're going to send me a message?"
Jiang Chao couldn't help laughing.
This girl ......
Jiang Chaochu received a love letter in the first place, and the owner of the love letter claimed to be the penultimate one.
Later, the girl didn't know where to get Jiang Chao's penguin.
Add, pass.
Jiang Chao didn't think so much at the time, so he should add a netizen?
The relationship between the two of them is really the same as that of netizens, and they have never met.
The girl's name is Su Yan, and she is the same as Jiang Chao.
The girl didn't confess, but she always chatted with Jiang Chao on the Internet.
At first, Jiang Chao was just polite and perfunctory. But soon he found out that Su Yan was a very interesting girl.
Su Yan loves to dance and loves ballet, she says that ballet is the most elegant dance, and she is not elegant enough.
She likes to paint, and she says she likes Renoir's sunshine the most, just like Jiang Chao's smile.
She also likes words, but not all of them...... For example, she told Jiang Chao that she hoped that Baby Anne would write something sunny, and that Xiaosi's novels would be less drunk and golden......
Su Yan's world has a lot of sunshine and few dark clouds.
……
Later, Jiang Chao fell in love with chatting with Su Yan.
"I'm transferring schools. Jiang Chao slowly typed down these words.
There was a brief silence.
"Why so suddenly?"
"Well, our family is ready to move to the provincial capital. ”
"Oh......"
Jiang Chao didn't know how to reply for a while, and the two fell into the embarrassment of a short silence.
"You haven't seen me yet, have you?"
Suddenly, Su Yan sent a message.
"Huh?"
"Do you want to ...... Video?"
Jiang Chao was stunned, hesitated, and typed lightly: "Okay." ”
Doodoo ......
The connection is successful.
In the picture, a very sweet-looking girl appears, and she has a tiger tooth that is very eye-catching.
Jiang Chao blinked, a little surprised.
In the first video, both of them seemed a little restrained.
"Would you like to say something?" Su Yan said by biting her lip.
"Hmm...... Say something?"
"Am I good-looking?"
"Good looking. ”
"Finished?"
"Hmm...... It's very good-looking. ”
The girl in the picture couldn't help but laugh, "You really can't talk." ”
"Then can we meet again in the future?" asked Su Yan again.
Jiang Chao shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Su Yan sighed: "Also, there are so many people who like you, it will definitely not be long before you forget me." ”
After speaking, Su Yan's face turned a little red.
Jiang Chao shook his head and said seriously: "I only added your penguin number." ”
The more the two chatted, the more relaxed they became, and they gradually lost the restraint just now.
Talked a lot.
Su Yan said why she liked Jiang Chao at the beginning because she saw Jiang Chao playing ball, and it was clean and sunny.
Jiang Chao also said that he thought she was special and an interesting soul, and he liked to chat with her.
At this moment, Jiang Chao felt his heart beat faster.
In the end, Su Yan plucked up her courage and said seriously:
"I want to be a big star in the future, so that you can see me often!"
Swish!
At that moment, the power went out and the picture disappeared.
It's a city-wide power outage. The city of Jinjiang was swallowed up by elegant darkness in an instant.
Jiang Chao sat in front of the computer in a daze.
Night, quietly.
After a long time, Jiang Chao slowly raised his head and said softly:
Thank you, thank you.
