Although with the development of the times and the continuous progress of science and technology, the market share of BP machines will gradually be replaced by mobile phones, and eventually completely withdraw from the communication market, but now, this is still an indispensable thing. NTT DOCOMO, as RB's largest communications operator, launched a BP machine aimed at young people this year, in addition to the more fashionable and colorful color scheme of the product, but also ingenious for the national spokesperson selection.

RB is a big country in the draft, from the auditions held by the agency to the TV station looking for the lead character for a certain TV series, to the various kinds of Mr. and So-and-so, most of which are held in Tokyo. Tokyo is a city of astonishing size, big enough to hold the dreams of countless people, and of course, enough to bury the dreams of countless people.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon of May 29, Ye Zhao came to the selection site in Chiyoda District thirty minutes early.

After showing the selection book, Ye Zhao was led by the on-site staff to the registration office in the corner of the hall to fill in the information, and then got a number plate with "026" written on it. It is said that more than 15,000 people applied for the audition, but only 40 people received interviews, which is a fierce competition.

The interview venue was set up on the third floor, and when I stepped out of the elevator, there was already a long queue in the corridor. The candidates came from all over the country, they didn't know each other, and they were all competitors, so the atmosphere could be said to be a bit silent. Ye Zhao stood silently at the end of the team, raised his eyes and looked at it, in the end, it was from more than 15,000 people, these people to be selected were all good-looking, and there were even two or three young men with high noses and deep eyes, who looked like mixed-race young men.

"No. 1, Uemura Liao. ”

"Here!" replied with a nervous and somewhat trembling voice, and the interview officially began.

The person at the head of the queue entered the room with a number plate and walked out in about ten minutes, and was guided by the staff to the lounge on the fifth floor to wait for the final result. The next person quickly followed.

As the line gradually became shorter, Ye Zhao, who was originally calm and leisurely and just came to join in the fun, gradually felt that he couldn't sit still.

Finally, "No. 26, Ye Zhao." ”

Under the guidance of the female assistant in a black suit, Ye Zhao walked into the conference room. In the huge room, more than a dozen censors lined up, and on the nameplates in front of their desks, they were marked with various identities, including NTT DOCOMO executives, TV producers, advertising directors, and so on.

Standing in the center of the room, Ye Zhao bowed lightly and introduced himself: "Hello teachers, my name is Ye Zhao, I am 19 years old this year, and I am now a freelancer. ”

A middle-aged man sitting in the middle took the lead in picking up the microphone and asked, "You came to participate in the selection of the spokesperson for BP machine advertising, so do you know anything about BP machine?" On the nameplate in front of him, it was written that was the vice president of NTT DOCOMO.

This is not an interview for newcomers at NTT DOCOMO, and it certainly does not refer to professional knowledge. Ye Zhao thought for a while, and then replied: "I don't really know much about BP machines. Hearing Ye Zhao's answer, the middle-aged man's already unsmiling face became a little more serious.

"However," Ye Zhao said, "Although I don't understand how it works at all, I know that it is an indispensable electronic product in life." If I accidentally forget to take it with me, I feel very uneasy that I will miss out on important information. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and didn't speak again, but his expression softened.

"Good. A man with long hair said, "Now I want to ask you, because this product is aimed at young people, if it were you, what would you use to show the feeling of 'youth'?"

Different from the teenagers who are experiencing youth, as an old fritter who is about to run three in his core, youth is like a flowering period that has passed for Ye Zhao, although he can still imagine what it looks like when it is in full bloom, but after all, it lacks a little bit of the fragrance of flowers. Although now, he has a chance to do it all over again, and youth has once again become something that is being experienced and within reach, but if he wants to be like a real teenager, he will never be able to do it.

So in this matter, he has to try to avoid his shortcomings and play to his strengths. Speaking of youth...... "Excuse me, is there a guitar here?" Ye Zhao said.

The advertising director glanced at the female assistant, and she quickly brought a Yayili acoustic guitar.

Ye Zhao carefully took the guitar from the female assistant and quickly adjusted the strings.

"Secret base ~君がくれたもの~", which translates to "Secret base, all you give me", this song sung by the RB girl band ZONE, whether in China or RB, can be regarded as a big hit. This song has been the theme song of the TV series "Children's War", the ending song of the TV animation "Today's 5 Years and 2 Classes", and later it was used as the ending song of the animation "Unheard of Flower Name", and is regarded as a masterpiece by the majority of anime lovers.

Ye Zhao in his previous life, after watching "Unheard of Flower Names", in addition to being moved by the animation plot, he was also moved by the unique youthfulness of youth in this song, and he also deliberately looked for the guitar sheet of this song on the Internet, and now, he also chose to use this song as his tiebreaker without hesitation, and plucked the guitar in his hand.

"This has your summer, dreams for the future"

"I will never forget the hope we made together"

"Ten years later, in August, please believe that we will see you again"

"Give me the best memory......

As the song gradually unfolded, the censors in the audience, whose originally serious faces gradually broke the ice, turned to be surprised, and their eyes at Ye Zhao softened a lot, no longer questioning and disdain. Originally, I thought he was a censor who was playing tricks, but at this time I also understood his intentions.

When the material poverty of teenagers, if you want to express your feelings, it is difficult to buy brand-name gifts and travel together like adults, and the youth and subtlety of young people are also difficult to tell their inner emotions directly. Isn't the so-called youth like this, bold and subtle, you can be desperate, but you are cautious?

In addition to sighing, the censors suddenly remembered one thing, this song, it seems that they have not heard it?

After singing the first paragraph, Ye Zhao consciously covered the guitar sound hole with his hand and stopped the performance. The song came to an abrupt end, making the censors in the audience feel a little unsatisfied, and the advertising director picked up the microphone, "When I was young, I also had an experience like what was written in the lyrics, and your singing made me remember my youth." But I'm curious, I've never heard this song before, can you tell me whose song it is?"

sang everything, whether he wrote it or not, now he has to admit that it is his own work. With a little sorry for the original songwriter, Ye Zhao replied: "This is my original song. ”

Ye Zhao felt embarrassed because he was a copyist, so he was a little lacking in confidence when he answered. This shame fell into the eyes of the examiner, but it was a different feeling. A teenager under the age of 20 can write such an excellent song, and what is even more rare is that he is not complacent because of this, talented but humble people have always been likable, and the censors invariably rated Ye Zhao a few points higher.

"That's good," one of the censors asked, "did you come from a music school?"

"That's not true," Ye Zhao shook his head, "I've just been playing in a band since I was in high school. ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman suddenly said, "What a pity. The eyes of everyone in the venue were attracted by this sudden pity, and even Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at her more. Oddly enough, there was no identification plate in front of her.

Ye Zhao panicked in his heart, at first he did come to join in the fun, but the situation was very good just now, which also made him feel a little fluttery, and he began to fantasize about the throne of the champion, and now an unidentified aunt who seemed to be smashing the field suddenly appeared, and it was strange that he was not nervous.

However, this aunt didn't come to smash the scene, seeing that everyone's attention was on her, she spread her hands and said, "With your talent, even if you go to the record company's rookie audition, you will be invincible." ”

If you want to praise, you can praise it, what are you doing when you talk and panting, it looks like you are going to fire a cannon in the next second.

This little episode passed quickly, and the censors exchanged words for a moment, after which the vice president of NTT DOCOMO, who first asked Ye Zhao a question, spoke again: "Now please go to the lounge and wait for the final results to be announced." ”

Ye Zhao bowed again, then walked out of the venue, took the elevator under the guidance of the female assistant, and went to the lounge on the ninth floor.
