Chapter 6: Debut

In the second half of Cheng Shuo's junior year, he signed up for the first "Rising Star Cup Chinese Singing Competition" jointly organized by the media and music companies in China with the recommendation of his teacher and the encouragement of his friends.

Before he met Yan Zhuanxin, Cheng Shuo was full of singing, and he never thought about anything else, and the most important thing for him was the dream he had always had. Even though he went smoothly along the way, like all students in the art examination, he endured the ups and downs that ordinary people can't understand.

Because of this unexpected love, Cheng Shuo discovered that in addition to dreams, there is another important and beautiful thing in life, and he wants to hold her hand until he is old. At the same time, he has never forgotten his dream and promise to his grandfather, when he learned of such a rare opportunity, he decided to seize it, and the media side of the "Rising Star Cup" is T City TV Station, and the headquarters of the partner music company T-s Music is also located in T City, and the national finals are naturally held in T City, if she can go to the end, she can have a few months there, which is the closest place to her.

Starting from the competition in the D city division, Cheng Shuo made serious preparations and practices step by step, and advanced step by step. During that time, the most he said when he called Zhuoxin every day was to talk about his song selection, practice, as well as the teacher's evaluation and his own thoughts, etc., most of the time Zhuoxin was listening, she really didn't know anything about pop music, but Qu Fei's advice was more pertinent.

Sometimes she watched Qu Fei and Cheng Shuo talk about song selection, and she felt that she really didn't know Cheng Shuo's profession. Later, she finally opened her mouth to talk to Qu Fei about this issue, wanting her to help popularize it for herself, "Xiaofei, I really don't think I know Cheng Shuo's profession very much, every time he tells me those things, I don't know at all, can you tell me about it?"

Qu Fei looked at her and laughed, she was a little confused by the laughter, "What's wrong?

Qu Fei laughed for a long time before reaching out and putting his arm on her shoulder and said: "Zhuan, you have finally opened your mind, although I know very well that you are really not interested in pop music, but after all, your boyfriend is learning this, you need to know a little more, that is, Cheng Shuo, if you are someone else, I'm afraid you won't be so tolerant and you don't care at all!"

He asked thoughtfully, "So, it's really my bad job, so can you popularize it for me?"

Qu Fei smiled happily and said, "Wrap it up on me!"

Watching Cheng Shuo and Cheng Shuo come all the way, Qu Fei will inevitably compare the senior and Cheng Shuo together, and he chases after the senior in every way, but Cheng Shuo is obedient to the senior, so when he occasionally complains, he will read a few words to her by the way: "Zhu Shuo, Zhu Zhuo, you must cherish it, Cheng Shuo is such a perfect lover, and he is so good to you, even if there are many people who like you in our school, but there must be a lot of girls around him, and the two of you are so far away, you must cherish it." ”

How could she not understand that except for the Ran sisters from childhood to adulthood, and now with Qu Fei, no one is so good to her, making her feel that she is so important.

Qu Fei once asked her when she was tired from the difficult battle with her senior, so much love was lost to distance and long-distance relationship, Cheng Shuo was originally very eye-catching, she was very curious, was she really not worried at all?

And the answer to her was: "Long-distance relationships are really hard and difficult, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it, if the two of us stick together every day, maybe I won't get used to it, after all, I have my own things to do, he also has them, and we all need our own space." This relationship tells me that love is not only sweet and beautiful, because these distances make people realize that when happy grievances come, they must bear it alone, learn to refuse temptation, be patient, and most importantly, be able to persevere. Besides, I never think that long-distance relationships will lose to distance and time, that's just an excuse, the only thing that love will lose to is suspicion. I give him enough trust and enough firmness for myself, it's as simple as that. ”

Qu Fei, who was growing long hair, nodded thoughtfully, which made Qu Fei feel particularly cute, how she hoped that Qu Fei could be less restrained and worried, and love more relaxed, but she also understood that love was very strange and domineering, it came without saying hello, and it would not leave easily.

When Cheng Shuoyuan was competing in City C, Yan Zhuanxin was also working hard to understand pop music, and there were many courses in her sophomore year, in addition to adding a number of elective courses compared to her freshman year, there were also two orchestras doubling rehearsals and performances, plus chamber music and irregular professional classes, her daily life was really fulfilling.

So even though she worked hard, her energy was limited after all, and she had no other strength to return to the dormitory except to wash and sleep. She has never been very clear about how sensational and influential the first "Rising Star Cup" competition that Cheng Shuo participated in is in China, just the competition in the 12 sub-divisions of the country is already extremely hot, because it is still in the preliminary period, media reports only play a role in publicity, and more information comes from the Internet.

The preliminary list of the 12 divisions across the country to enter the finals came out a month later, and Cheng Shuo was the first player in the D city division to get a pass and win the championship spot. When he called Wei Zhuanxin, she was rehearsing and the phone was muted and she didn't know at all, so Cheng Shuo sent her a text message, thought about it, and finally added: You are busy with your affairs first, and I will call you in the evening.

After putting away the piano, she took out her mobile phone and saw Cheng Shuo's missed call, and then saw the text message, the corners of her mouth raised, and she was very happy in her heart.

In the evening, when Cheng Shuo was still on his way back to the dormitory after class, the first thing Cheng Shuo said when he called: "Are you still busy?"

She was already very happy to see that it was his call, and her fatigue was swept away: "I just finished my elective class and am on my way back to my dormitory." I haven't congratulated you on getting your ticket to the finals. ”

"I'll be the first to call you today, but it's not too late. ”

Yan Zhuan Xin felt a little guilty, "Cheng Shuo, I'm sorry, I can't celebrate with you by your side, many things, I've done really badly, Xiaofei is right, I'm far inferior to yours-"

Before she could finish speaking, he answered: "Zhuan, don't say sorry to me, there is nothing you should do, I love you, and your willingness to give me this opportunity is the best for me." Don't say that you are not doing well, your presence is enough for me. After a few days of scheduling, I will go to T City, and then there will be the final comprehensive selection of each division, and then I will really enter the national finals, and there is still a long time, if I can go to the end, then I can stay in T City for a long time. I'm going to try to make the cut so we can be in the same city, and I want to be closer to you. ”

He smiled, "I'll wait for you here." ”

The "Rising Star Cup" competition has entered the warm-up stage of the national finals, and the players in each region have accumulated a certain amount of popularity, coupled with the vigorous publicity of TV stations and the Internet, this vigorous competition is almost known to everyone, even in the music academy known for classical music in T City.

After class, he was waiting for Qu Fei downstairs, and a group of students who had just finished class walked by, chatting.

"Have you watched the Nova Cup competition, saying that it is the introduction of foreign competition systems!"

"After looking at it, it is really not to be underestimated that the first competition can get such a big attention, and I heard that our school still participates!"

"It's really fake, but our school has always been more interested in classical departments, and this kind of pop singing competition is definitely not as good as those modernist music schools led by the Conservatory of Music in City D. ”

"I think those contestants are not only from major universities, but also overseas students and singing enthusiasts, quite wide, I don't know how many will be left in the final finals. ”

"The finals are usually the top ten, no more than the top fifteen, but I heard that there are any competitions before the finals, so I'm looking forward to it, it's going to be held in T City, and I can go to the scene to see it." ”

A few girls walked away before Qu Fei came out, and when they saw Zhuo Xin, they shouted that they were hungry, and the two went to the cafeteria together.

On the day Cheng Shuo arrived in T City, he said that he was going to pick him up, but he was temporarily notified by Teacher Yue to rehearse chamber music, Cheng Shuo was used to her irregular sudden attack rehearsals, and had no complaints about this: "You go to rehearsal, Teacher Yue also values you, and when I settle down, I will tell you that we will have dinner together in the evening." ”

But in fact, after the rehearsal, it was already past dinner time, and he ran all the way to Cheng Shuo's place and said breathlessly, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Cheng Shuo pulled over and poured her a glass of water, "It's better to be later, it's better to be later, what are you doing in such a hurry, I just finished packing my things, and the time is just right." In fact, he had been waiting for a long time, and even slept for a while.

She never knew that love would have such a great power, so one person would be willing to change herself unconditionally for another person. Her heart, which was no longer willing to believe in love because of the separation of her parents, gradually recovered and became whole under Cheng Shuo's soft tolerance.

After Cheng Shuo arrived in T City, he quickly devoted himself to the comprehensive evaluation of the sub-divisions before the finals, and he still had relatively more time for himself, as long as he cooperated with the TV station and the organizer to do some related activities, both the network support rate and his own comprehensive quality were very high, so there was no big problem if there was no accident in entering the national finals.

He also tried his best to adjust his time to spend more time with him, but sometimes he was still worried about affecting his already small rest time, and after finding out, Cheng Shuo rubbed her hair and smiled: "I am very relaxed with you, and I am in a good mood, which is the best way for me to rest." ”

At that time, Qu Fei was busy practicing piano competitions and following in the footsteps of his seniors every day, while Yan Zhuan Xin was rehearsing and performing, and the rest of the time was with Cheng Shuo, and the two of them could chat a few words before going back to the dormitory at night, and they had less time together during the day except for classes.

With the start of the finals, Cheng Shuo and other players who entered the national finals moved into the resort arranged by the TV station and began a closed competition life.

During that period of competition, Cheng Shuo was exposed to a large number of people and things every day, and the days without Yan Zhuan Xin by his side were filled with various activities and course training. He doesn't sleep for more than five hours a day and doesn't have the strength to think about other things at all, and the seniors and staff who are constantly in contact with him are almost full of praise for Cheng Shuo: handsome appearance and solid skills, coupled with good upbringing, it is difficult for people not to like it.

In this way, it is a matter of course that he becomes a popular player in the competition, and it is also a matter of course, high exposure and high topics, Cheng Shuo, the popularity list of TV station statistics, has always been among the best, and all kinds of gossip are also flooding the Internet.

When Cheng Shuo moved into the closed resort, he also returned to his old life, but Qu Fei seemed to be busy all of a sudden, and was still rarely in the dormitory, so she lived a long-lost almost isolated life, in addition to classes and rehearsals, the only little time was also given to the library, sometimes in a daze I would think of him, but she never thought of learning about his movements through the Internet, which she rarely used the Internet.

When she was taking an elective course, the words of a few girls from the outer department behind her who were chatting about the Nova Cup competition drifted into her ears.

"Who are you optimistic about the finalists of the Nova Cup? I support Cheng Shuo, even if he is handsome, he is still a powerful faction, don't be too rare these days!"

"Yes, yes, Cheng Shuo is good, I think he has super potential, and Bian Che is also good, watching interviews, they always practice together, and what is it called, Chang Yuan? ”

"I also like Cheng Shuo and Bian Che very much, they are room-friendly portraits, and Chang Yuan, are they three people or two people in a room, but Chang Yuan's popularity is not as high as the two of them. ”

Qu Fei leaned over and touched the sluan and whispered, "Your family Chengshuo's support rate is not too high, okay, are you happy?"

She was a little embarrassed, "The teacher is here." ”

Because I can't watch the live broadcast of the game at school, I wait for the replay the next day, but I will keep my mobile phone on and wait for Cheng Shuo's text messages, and every time the game is over, it is the time for media interviews and fans to meet, often until three or four o'clock in the morning or even all night, but he will find a mobile phone to text her at the earliest time.

As the game becomes more and more intense, all kinds of news and news are also emerging, both good and bad, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false, Yan Zhuan Xin never looks at the news on the Internet, and occasionally Qu Fei will not believe it when he sees it, let alone tell her, which makes Cheng Shuo feel a lot more at ease, and many things are beyond his control at that time.

In the later stages of the competition, several artists under T-s Music Company, which cooperated with the TV station, came to help the competition, and the group of performers with Cheng Shuo was a rookie female singer under T-s. It is inevitable that the male and female partners will have some topics, which is also a gimmick for publicity, in fact, Yan Zhuan Xin didn't know at all, or only knew when she heard others talk about it at school, she didn't react at the time, but Qu Fei remembered it.

The lights were turned off before going to bed, and there were only two people in the bedroom, Qu Fei and Zhu Zhuanxin, Qu Fei hesitated for a long time and still called out "Zhuan?" and said "um" in response, so she stopped grinding and said: "This kind of TV competition is the same as a TV series, you have to fight for ratings and popularity, it is different from our classical music competition, there are topics and news that everyone pays attention to him, this is a good thing, even if it is hype, there is no way to do it, after all, this is determined by the general environment, and one person can't control it." ”

He didn't speak for a moment, then whispered, "I understand." ”

Qu Fei knew that she really figured it out when she said this, so she slept peacefully.

During the final of the "Rising Star Cup", the first and only time in his life did he go out alone on a big night just to watch Cheng Shuo's game on the TV station.

The crowd was surging, she had never been to such a noisy place, she had never been in such a crowded crowd, but at that moment, she just wanted to be closest to him, even if he couldn't see herself on stage at all.

When the host introduced that the next one to appear was Cheng Shuo, he felt that his ears were about to be deafened by the screams of the fans around him, and a short video began to play on the big screen, which was a video clip of Cheng Shuo all the way: "Cheng Shuo, a big boy who focuses on singing and is sunny and warm, from D city to T city, from the division to the national finals, he has not yet noticed that the years have been long and he has not understood the impermanence of the world, so he came to the stage of the 'Rising Star Cup', and walked into the final finals all the way. Looking back, this maturing appearance, this unexpected growth, and the laughter and sorrow along the way have all become unforgettable fragments of life, and the love for music is still intact. The fork in the road ahead has arrived, Cheng Shuo, where can we go? Let's look forward to it together!"

Round after round of competition tugs everyone's heart beating. The last round of singing began, the lights on the stage dimmed, and Cheng Shuo, who had faded from the fine costume, stood there quietly, a beam of chasing light was sprinkled above his head, the prelude sounded, and the whole person was stunned, she never thought that he would choose the song "Remembrance" at this time, the song "Remembrance" that recorded her memory.

She stood there motionless, and after many years, she heard the familiar melody again, and she no longer knew what her mood was.

On and off the stage, in fact, she was really far away from him, but I don't know what was going on, from the moment he raised his head, he kept looking in her direction, just watching her sing the whole song, from beginning to end.

Until much later, she didn't remember everything else, only remembered the way he sang that song, she knew that the world was so big, that song, he only sang it to her alone.

After the "Rising Star Cup", the contestants were finally able to sleep peacefully until they woke up naturally, and then participated in interviews and meet-and-greets arranged by the TV station, followed by the signing of the winners and the famous music company T-s Music. This series of activities and arrangements were full, and it was already the fourth day after the competition when Cheng Shuo saw him again.

The three-month-long competition finally came to an end, and the flowers and applause became a thing of the past from the moment the game ended, because of some contracts, Cheng Shuo after signing T-s Music, the agent at that time was still Liu Feng, the agent assigned by the TV station at the time of the game. Cheng Shuo, who was optimistic about his motivation and future development potential by high-level and well-known producers from the beginning, chose him as a more powerful agent in Taiwan. Knowing that his girlfriend was in T City, Liu Feng even took the initiative to give him a few days off to rest, and after telling too many stories about this circle by hearsay, Liu Feng's various actions made Cheng Shuo warm and defenseless, and this trust made him tell him without any precautions when Liu Feng asked about the situation. Liu Feng didn't object to this, but asked him not to mention it in public, after all, he just debuted, and his strength needs to be proved slowly, everyone's first concern is his idol image, love will not help him, and it will even reduce his popularity and play a great negative role, as an agent, Liu Feng just asked him not to mention it in public, which is already a great tolerance. Yan Zhuan Xin didn't care about this, and Cheng Shuo also listened to Liu Feng's opinion.

Without the tension and pressure of the game, I walked smoothly on the road to realizing my dreams, love was around, and Cheng Shuo at that time really reflected the young man's pride. After this time-consuming and labor-intensive game, Cheng Shuo's whole person has lost weight, and he can finally prepare for the battle without tense nerves, especially seeing the long-lost smiling smile, which makes him feel that happiness is so simple, as long as this person is by his side, everything becomes extremely beautiful, even if it is just sitting by the river and basking in the sun, listening to her talk about the future, a simple and peaceful life is enough to make him feel at ease.

"My future is very simple, I like university life very much, I also like the city, these years are my happiest days, so I want to stay, it doesn't have to be our school, as long as I go to graduate school, there are so many universities in T City, there is always one who can stay with me, so that I will not be very tired, I can always do what I like, and I can have enough time and energy to take care of my family in the future, which is great."

I want a daughter, I have two braids for her since she was a child, she wears all kinds of beautiful little dresses, I hold her little hand, she holds the doll, take her to the mountains to see the flowers in the spring, go to the beach to play in the sand in the summer, fly a kite in the fall, build a snowman together in the winter, and when I get home, I can wait with my daughter for her dad to come home and eat with us, this is the best future I can think of. ”

Cheng Shuo looked at her smiling side face, her future was what he had never thought of, but looking at her expectant look, at that moment he felt that such a life was happiness, with her, there was a warm home, no matter where he was, she was there waiting for him to come home, which was also the happiness he wanted. Years of studying alone and without his parents made him particularly eager for a home that would always be there waiting for him to return, not an empty house, but a home with her.

Cheng Shuo stretched out his arms and took the sluan in his arms, feeling very down-to-earth. He whispered in her ear: "Bianzhuan, the home you want, I will definitely give it to you." ”

Love can change people's original appearance, it taught Cheng Shuo how to love, cherish and protect, let him grow and mature, and it also made Cheng Shuo feel that he was abandoned by the world to transform again, learn to tolerate and understand, and have a vision of what the future will look like.

That's the best look of love, and it's also their shortest days.

At that time, she had the happiest appearance in her life, thinking that fate had finally favored her once, and she tried her best to protect her only feelings.

At that time, Cheng Shuo felt that he was the happiest person, and he thought that he didn't know when he would meet someone, but he came unexpectedly, fortunately, his love and career could be harvested.

At that time, they thought that such a simple but happy day was the life they would always have, the happiness of youth was too easy, and the happiness was too simple, but they didn't know how life would be smooth sailing from their own temperament to the end.
