Chapter 61: Distress
Seeing that there was still a week to go before Xi Xi participated in the finals, Xi Xi was extremely nervous.
In addition to going to Phantom Sheng every day to attend professional training courses, Xi Xi still chooses to sing in the Blue Charm Bar the rest of the time.
First, you can exercise yourself on the stage of Blue Charm, which is not too big or small, and gradually adapt to the life and feeling of standing on the shining stage and being noticed. The second is to work hard for the present and future life.
Whether you can make it all the way to the end, life has to go on after all.
Participating in this training, Xi Xi has already taken out a large amount of training fees, which is already a lot of expenses for her, who has always lived frugally. Xi Ze is about to go to primary school, and the tuition fee is also a lot of pressure, Xi Xi can't let this family lose their financial resources.
She is really not good at other jobs other than singing, so she can only continue to stay in the bar.
Seeing that the day of the finals is getting closer and closer, Xi Xi also plans to use the stage of Lan Mei to try out the songs used in preparation for the competition. For this reason, tonight, she specially asked Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi to come to the bar to listen to her singing.
Although Xi Xi is familiar with this stage, tonight, she is still very nervous.
Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi sat closest to the stage, and they looked intently at Xi Xi, who was standing in the center of the stage, surrounded by all the beams of light, with a look of anticipation.
Xi Xi deliberately dressed herself up today, which is different from her usual image, and today she has a beauty that belongs to youth and a mature taste, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Good evening everyone, I'm your old friend Xi Xi! I believe anyone who has heard me sing before knows that the song I have sung the most on this stage may be Faye Wong's red beans. So today, I want to sing a different song, and I want you to see a completely different Xixi. A light chaser, dedicated to you who like Xixi. ”
The bar suddenly burst into warm applause, and Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi looked at each other and smiled.
This may be precisely where Xi Xi is superior to other players.
She has a wealth of experience in residency and a strong stage appeal, and can quickly integrate into her new identity, bringing everyone into her little music world in her own unique way.
Xi Xi chose the song "Light Chaser", a large part of which stems from the title of this song.
Many times, Xi Xi feels that he is a light chaser, and he has been chasing the light of his dreams, running forward with all his might. This song is undoubtedly an inspiration for Xi Xi, allowing her to overcome obstacles and move forward bravely on the road of her dreams.
The melodious music slowly flowed throughout the bar, and Xi Xi held the microphone tightly and closed his eyes gently.
Now she has the biggest problem is to put psychological pressure on herself. As soon as she was nervous, her voice would become very tight, and the voice would be suppressed in her throat, and she couldn't open it at all.
In this way, not only is the singing not good, but it also further damages her vocal cords.
Xi Xi tried to calm himself down, silently counted the beat of the music in his heart, stepped into the point very accurately, and his voice was very steady as soon as he spoke, without any abnormalities or abnormal reactions.
Xi Xi regained his confidence, opened his eyes, and smiled at Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi.
She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to sing the song. After all, for so many years, she has only sung so many songs back and forth in the bar, and has never received more professional training and training like Phantom Sheng, and suddenly changed her style, Xi Xi was afraid that she would not perform well.
But as long as she can sing this song smoothly tonight, then on the day of the final, she will not be so flustered.
"Xi Xi's singing is really good, when did she compete? I haven't heard you mention it before, but I think she seems to be very nervous. ”
Qin Jiaxi took a sip of beer and looked at Lin Wenxuan with some confusion.
Although he didn't have much contact with Xi Xi, he was sure that Xi Xi was the kind of girl who was very confident and strong. He had never seen her so nervous and uneasy, and he had never heard Lin Wenxuan mention Xi Xi's nervous state, so he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Lin Wenxuan smiled: "Xi Xi has been under a lot of psychological pressure recently, she sings this song for the first time today, and she plans to use this song to participate in the finals in a week, so she specially asked us to come over to see her performance tonight." Ten out of eight out, such a game is too cruel. ”
"Only two, don't you usually pick the top three?"
"Phantom Sheng's system is like this, each batch of new students can only leave two people for key training and packaging. If you win the third place, I heard that it is recommended for you to other record companies, and whether you can get it depends on your own life. ”
Lin Wenxuan shook her head and sighed while eating French fries.
This kind of competition system is really cruel, and it is no wonder that Xi Xi is so nervous.
Originally, it was not easy to sign up for the Phantom Sheng interview, Xi Xi finally passed the primary selection with his own strength, and he had to face such a terrible final before he could take a breath, and the pressure in his heart was not something that ordinary people could understand.
If he really failed to stay, what should Xi Xi do?
Even if you comfort yourself that there will be another selection, who can be sure that you will be selected next time? How many years of youth can a person waste on the same thing in this life?
Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi sighed while eating, and before they knew it, Xi Xi had finished singing a song.
After expressing his gratitude and bowing to everyone in the audience, Xi Xi was ready to step down to find Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi.
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. She couldn't tell Xi Xi's own performance on stage, but Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi could see it clearly below, and she had to discuss it with them to make up for her shortcomings.
The microphone was handed over to the next resident singer on the stage, Xi Xi lifted the black dress and slowly walked off the stage.
This skirt was bought by Lin Wenxuan when she accompanied her shopping not long ago, and the lines of the skirt wrapped Xi Xi's graceful figure just right, so they chose it without hesitation, in order to be able to shine on the day of the final.
But in order to better realize the real scene, Xi Xi also wore this skirt to the scene today.
As soon as he got off the stage, a drunken man staggered towards Xi Xi.
The man was fat, his face was red, and his eyes were drunk. He held a bottle of beer in his hand that he hadn't finished drinking, a smile on the corner of his lips, and slowly paced in front of Xi Xi step by step, blocking Xi Xi's way.
Xi Xi turned sideways and smiled politely: "I'm sorry, I'll pass it for a while." ”
"Little sister, where are you going? I'll be alone tonight, right? Will my brother accompany you? Let me tell you, your singing is really good, just like ...... It's like that cuckoo...... No, no, no, it's like a lark! I'm a big fan of yours!"
The man was full of alcohol, and his speech was a little dazed, and his body shook as he spoke, as if he would get drunk at any time.
Xi Xi smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for liking Xi Xi, but Xi Xi has friends tonight, so I will not accompany you." ”
After saying that, Xi Xi planned to bypass this man and leave as soon as possible, as long as she arrived at Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi's side, this man would definitely not dare to come forward to pester her again.
"Don't go, brother likes you so much, shouldn't you show it a little?"
The man smiled coldly, looked at Xi Xi with some smugness, and raised his hand to pinch Xi Xi's face.
Xi Xi shook off the man's hand in disgust, raised his palm and gave the other party a hard slap, "I warn you not to do anything to me! I am a staff member here, and the security guards at the bar will protect me, so you'd better give me a little peace of hand!"
"Yo, you don't have a small temper, but I like this!" the man said, throwing away the wine bottle in his hand, and pressed towards Xi Xi step by step, the expression on his face was very sinister, "I want to see how many people dare to care about Lao Tzu today!"
As he spoke, the man raised his hand and pushed Xi Xi to the corner, and the moment he touched Xi Xi's skin, a flash of incomparably greedy light flashed in his eyes, and he firmly held Xi Xi's hand with both hands, and leaned over to kiss Xi Xi's face.
"Ah——!h
When he was in a hurry, Xi Xi couldn't help but scream wildly, trying to attract the attention of others.
Qin Jiaxi and Lin Wenxuan followed the prestige, and their faces suddenly changed.
didn't have time to think about it, Qin Jiaxi rushed over with an arrow step, vigorously pulled the man away, and tightly protected Xi Xi behind him. Lin Wenxuan followed closely by Qin Jiaxi's side, she took Xi Xi's hand, and looked at Xi Xi with tears on her face with some uneasiness.
Xi Xi's hands were cold, and it could be seen how panicked and scared she was just now.
The security guard in the bar also ran over when he heard the movement, and when he saw that so many people were coming at once, the man looked left and right, bent down and picked up the beer bottle on the ground with some weak hearts, and ran out of the bar without saying a word.
Seeing that the man ran away, Xi Xi's heart slowly calmed down.
Qin Jiaxi turned his head to look at the frightened Xi Xi, and said to Lin Wenxuan: "Xuanxuan, you take her out of the bar first, don't stand at the door of the bar and wait for me, try to find a safe place with many people." I'll go out after paying the bill, you can accompany her first. ”
Lin Wenxuan nodded, pulled Xi Xi out of the Blue Charm Bar, and sat down in a small park nearby.
"Xi Xi, are you okay? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Seeing Xi Xi's empty eyes, Lin Wenxuan asked very nervously, for fear that Xi Xi would be frightened.
Xi Xi shook his head, "I'm fine, fortunately you and Jiaxi came in time, otherwise I would really be ...... tonight"
Lin Wenxuan hugged Xi Xi tightly and comforted her gently, and it didn't take long for Qin Jiaxi to rush to the two of them.
"How's it going? Xi Xi is okay?"
Lin Wenxuan shook her head lightly, made a quiet gesture to Qin Jiaxi, and motioned for Qin Jiaxi to sit down beside her.
Qin Jiaxi sat down and sighed: "Xixi, there are many people in the bar, and it will inevitably be very chaotic." A hooligan like the one I met today, I don't know when I'm going to be in the bar again, you're a girl, you're always having to face this, it's really too dangerous. ”
Listening to Qin Jiaxi's words, Lin Wenxuan was flustered, and hurriedly glanced at him, signaling him not to say any more.
Xi Xi is already uncomfortable enough tonight, in order to support her family, she is also forced to do so, why does Qin Jiaxi want to stimulate her at this time?
Qin Jiaxi didn't seem to see Lin Wenxuan's movements, and continued calmly: "Xuanxuan and I are not prejudiced against your current work, we just don't worry about you doing such a job." I have to admit that you do have your own development in this field, but no matter how much development and future you have, you have to do it under the condition of ensuring safety, right......?
"I know you're all for my good, thank you for tonight's events. Through tonight's events, I have also figured out a lot, what Jiaxi said is not unreasonable, I should indeed give up this job that has lasted for seven years, it's time to say goodbye to the past. ”
Xi Xiqiang cheered up and sighed infinitely.
"Xixi ......"
"Xuanxuan, don't worry, just because I say this doesn't mean I'm going to give up music. As Jiaxi said, I am talented and capable in music, but I don't necessarily have to choose the path of resident singing. I will work hard in the final and strive for infinite possibilities for myself!"
Xi Xi smiled and held Lin Wenxuan's hand, revealing firmness in his eyes.
Seeing that Xi Xi finally figured it out, Lin Wenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at Qin Jiaxi and smiled gratefully.
I thought that after tonight's events, everything would be settled, but I never thought that all this was just the beginning of sadness......
