The second day of my arrival in Singapore.

Early in the morning.

He Xiao yawned and got up from the soft bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then came to the window and looked out, unfamiliar high-rise buildings lined up, making He Xiao understand that he had indeed left Huaguo and came to another distant land.

This is Singapore, a very inclusive country, where there are many languages, colors, cultures, and religions everywhere.

But at the same time, it is also a relatively developed capitalist country, the society is typical of serving money and elites, a whole set of education systems are selecting elites at all levels, and the whole society is ensuring the interests of these elites.

If you don't have the strength, it will be very hard and tiring to survive here, for the people who go to work, it is not as good as the intermediary boasts, but the environment here is good, the security is good, and there are some buildings that look like they come from the future, full of fantasy experience.

"He Xiao, are you up?

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Yunkai's voice came from outside the door, He Xiao retracted his thoughts that were drifting farther and farther away, came back to his senses and said hello, and hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face.

There's no need to go outside to find a place to eat, as on the top floor of this luxury hotel, there's its own upscale restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred chef who is good and of course has a lot of money.

The people who can come here to consume are elites with a certain value, and the difference is not money, but the mood.

After He Xiao finished washing, the group went upstairs, found a place by the window and sat down with a beautiful view of the city, and then ordered a few hard dishes.

"It's time for Singapore to be lively in the past two days, and there will be a lot of celebrities coming to cheer, and I will introduce you to expand your social circle. ”

Lin Yunkai asked the waiter for a cup of soy milk, and said while opening the sugar packet and adding sugar to it.

"Thank you, teacher. Laughing at Lin Yun, keeping this kindness in mind, He Xiao asked again, "By the way, when are we going to see Zhang Geshen?"

"He's living at Marina Bay Villas, and he can't run. Lin Yunkai told him not to worry, and drank soy milk by himself.

He Xiao was a little speechless, others were anxious to see the god of song when they came to Singapore, but Lao Lin was there, and looking at his casual appearance, he didn't take people to heart at all, probably because he was too familiar with Zhang Juncheng in private.

"Oops, isn't this He Xiao?!"

Just when a few people were chatting, suddenly a surprised voice sounded not far away, He Xiao subconsciously looked up, and saw a familiar figure in sight.

He is wearing loose shorts and a vest, and he is dressed in a cool outfit, which is a very popular first-line male singer in Taipei-Xiao Xiaonian.

Lao Xiao is also here?

After He Xiao was slightly stunned, a look of unexpected joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly greeted: "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to come to Singapore too?

"Haha, yes! Zhang Geshen celebrates his birthday, I received an invitation, and I have to come over to say anything!"

Xiao Xiaonian still hasn't changed much from before, and his cheerful and talkative personality seems to have been like this since He Xiao first met. TVmobile/

Zhang Juncheng, as a generation of singers, is a myth in the world, even if he doesn't want to celebrate his birthday with great fanfare, he will still let countless admirers come spontaneously, every year, and in the end, the god of songs is no longer low-key, printing a beautifully packaged invitation, giving the guests great face, and greeting everyone generously.

Xiao Wangnian is one of the top male singers in Taipei, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the birthday celebration of the god of songs.

"Hello VIPs, excuse me, this is the dish you ordered. ”

In the crowded restaurant, a delicate-looking waiter came over with a plate to serve food to a few people, He Xiao looked at the sumptuous food, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Wangnian and said, "Brother Xiao, come and eat together!"

"That's fine, just save me. ”

Xiao Wangnian is not the kind of person who twists and turns, so he asked the waiter to add a set of utensils and came over to sit with He Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, why did you come to Singapore by yourself?"

"Hey, it's troublesome, isn't this a birthday for Senior Zhang, but there is a notice on my side, the company means that I want to make money, but Senior Zhang had a huge help to me in music back then, and I was absent from the birthday banquet last year, and if I don't come again this year, I can't say anything, so I ran out alone. ”

Xiao Wunian poured himself a cup of sour plum juice, and spit out bitter water while drinking, he can be regarded as a person who values affection, after all, in this circle, there are very few artists who dare to work against the company.

Even to say something unpleasant, in the eyes of others, a glamorous artist is just a tool used to make money, and people have to do whatever they want to do, if they dare to be disobedient, some are means to deal with it.

And the artists who can wrestle with these capitalists, looking at the entire entertainment industry, can't pick out a few, Xiao Wangnian is also taking risks, relying on his big coffee position, these have a certain right to speak in the company, otherwise he would not dare to disobey the company's orders.

"It's still hello, open your own studio, fuck, don't be angry, what do you want!"

Xiao Wangnian put the cup full of juice on the table heavily, looked at He Xiao and said with envy on his face.

He Xiao rubbed his cheeks and said with a wry smile: "You still envy me, I am being forced to be cornered, otherwise I would have started a new mountain." ”

Xiao Wangnian was stunned, and then suddenly remembered that the reason why He Xiao set up the studio was because Lejia went bankrupt, and after being acquired by Shaoguang, the new boss deliberately targeted him and carried out indefinite refrigeration, and He Xiao walked out of Lejia and established himself as the king.

But speaking of which, this is a mistake that fulfilled He Xiao, otherwise there would not be He Wanrong's studio that is smooth sailing today.

Sure enough, people are forced out. ”

Xiao Wangnian stared at He Xiao, who was now in the mix, and made a deep sigh.

"No, there are also people who have had a caesarean section. Lin Yunkai, who was stuffing old-fashioned bread into his mouth, interjected faintly at this time.

“......”

There was a moment of silence.

"By the way, He Xiao, you have been in contact with Zhang Geshen, do you know how his true state has been in recent years?" After a few seconds of silence at the table, Xiao Wunian picked up a steamed dumpling and asked as if he remembered something.

He Xiao's contact with Zhang Juncheng dates back to two years ago, after he won the Isabella finals, he went to Macau to attend the award ceremony of the Huading Awards, and was personally awarded by the god of songs, and both sang songs for that stage.

At that time, the state of the singer Zhang Juncheng looked good, but he only sang one song that time, which did not have any significance.

After all, the age of the god of songs' body is also very high, and his breath may not be as stable as when he was young before, so what his real state is, He Xiao really can't tell.

"Why are you asking this?" He Xiao glanced at Xiao Wangnian, feeling that something was going to happen.

Xiao Wunian sighed, "You also know that music has no borders, but people do! Over the years, the mainstream music in the world has been dominated by Europe and the United States, followed by Asia, and Asia is also divided into many camps, Japan, South Korea, and China...... Thirty years ago, Zhang Geshen debuted on behalf of the face of our Chinese music, and the entire Japanese and Korean music circles did not dare to be presumptuous, but with Zhang Geshen's retirement, these people have become more and more arrogant in recent years, and they seem to have forgotten the glorious moment when Zhang Geshen monopolized all the honors in the Asian music scene. ”

"I heard a friend in South Korea say that this time Zhang Geshen's birthday banquet, the Korean god of song Li Shengxin also came, but it was a weasel to the chicken New Year's greetings, in the name of congratulations, I want to try whether Zhang Geshen still has the ability of the year. ”

"Alas, now what kind of local chickens and dogs dare to be presumptuous in front of our Chinese music scene. ”

In fact, in the Asian entertainment industry, Japan and South Korea have always been very avant-garde, most in line with international standards, including the same in the world of black mobile phones.

Japanese artists who want to make their debut all rely on their strength, singing, typhoon, dance, musical instruments, lyrics, composition, popularity, album sales and other aspects must be assessed, all of which are indispensable, otherwise they will be out.

Although the Korean entertainment industry pays attention to idol training, it looks a little flashy at first glance, but in fact it is full of creativity, making Korean dramas, including variety shows, far ahead, and even many programs in China are remade from South Korea, playing with the rest of others.

In He Xiao's world, the Chinese entertainment industry was in a similar situation to the black phone world thirty years ago, whether it was from Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, there was a big level gap, until Zhang Juncheng changed this status quo after his debut, he relied on his own strength to raise the status of the Chinese music scene, and was regarded as the god of song by fans all over Asia.

However, although Zhang Geshen is amazingly talented, he is only a human being after all, and he will grow old one day.

Thirty years have passed, wrinkles have quietly crept up on the face, white hair is hidden in black silk, and the development of the Japanese and Korean entertainment industry is changing with each passing day, and many supernovas have been born far beyond the level of the previous generation.

Lee Shengxin is a leader among Korean artists, breaking the Korean music record several times, ranking among the top music in the world, and is called "the Korean version of the god of song" by the media.

However, Li Shengxin is not very interested in this title, because the god of song was originally given to Zhang Juncheng by the media, and he, the "Korean version of the god of song", no matter how you look at it, has a bit of a cottage flavor, as if he is living in the shadow of others.

So Li Shengxin has always been unconvinced and wants to prove himself, but unfortunately Zhang Juncheng has long been in seclusion, and it is difficult for them to compete in the international music scene.

At this birthday banquet of the god of songs, Li Shengxin came on behalf of Zhang Juncheng's old friend, the godfather of Korean rock and roll "Quan Xiaoren", he was dissatisfied with this cottage name for so many years, and he will inevitably take the opportunity to try Zhang Juncheng's level and correct his name.

After Xiao Wangnian got the news from a friend who was developing in South Korea, he has been very worried about this matter, not only because Zhang Juncheng has promoted him, but also because Zhang Juncheng is the belief of all Chinese musicians.

The god of songs, it's not called for nothing!

After He Xiao learned the ins and outs of the matter, he was also a little unhappy in his heart.

When a person stands at the top for too long, the people behind him always see him as the goal and want to surpass it.

Even if this person has entered his old age, it doesn't matter, because victory is never within the scope of their consideration, what they want to break is only the mountain in their hearts, the shadow.

"Teacher, you have a good relationship with Uncle Zhang, do you know anything about this?"

Although He Xiao and Zhang Juncheng sympathize with each other, they have only met once after all, and they really don't know how much strength the current god of song still has, and whether he can withstand the challenge of the Korean god of song, and now he looked at Lin Yunkai.

Lin Yunkai didn't know where to take out a toothpick, picked his teeth slowly, and said: "Actually, I'm not very easy to say, when this kid was young, he was just like you now, he couldn't see where the bottom was, he was a real demon, and now that decades have passed, the ghost knows if he is progressing or regressing......"

"Can you still improve? This is too, isn't it?" He Xiao's eyes widened instantly, a little dumbfounded.

People in their fifties, no matter how talented they are, they can't make progress, after all, the aging of the body is an irreversible fact.

Lin Yunkai calmly explained at this time: "Hey, I mean the creation of music, he has been immersed in music for so long, and now no one can say how high his level is, it is likely that he has reached the world-class level." ”

"As for singing skills, it's definitely not as easy as when I was young. ”

He Xiao was relieved when he heard this, after all, if he could still improve his singing skills in his fifties, it would be too unbelievable.

As for the progress in music creation, it is reasonable, after all, the more people who live and become more frustrated, after all, there are a minority, and most people are growing.

Many singers write songs at the age of 20 and 30 that are not at the same level at all, which is the benefit of the double improvement of experience and strength.

"Then if Li Shengxin really wants to find fault at the birthday banquet this time, wouldn't it be difficult for Senior Zhang to deal with it?" Xiao Wangnian heard Lin Yunkai's words, the bread in his mouth suddenly became unfragrant, and he asked with a melancholy expression. TV updates the fastest //

Lao Lin took a long breath and made up for it: "More than that, do you think that only Korean artists want to mess with us?

"Japan is a country that is very good at learning, they have absorbed various advanced cultures over the years, enrich themselves, the entertainment industry has long been not stronger than before, not to mention the animation industry leading the world, the entertainment industry is developing day by day, and the strength of singers alone is more than Korean entertainment as a whole. ”

"I remember fifteen years ago, Japan's hottest artist, Chiyo Guyi, came to Xiangjiang to humbly study creation with Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang asked her, why did you come to study with me when Japanese music is so developed? ”

Lao Lin's words undoubtedly made Xiao Wunian and He Xiao feel a chill again, and they realized that the industry competition between various countries was so fierce, and the Chinese music scene began to become precarious with Zhang Juncheng's retirement.

Nowadays, the four directions are moving.

A storm may be coming!
