3. Chapter 3
At the end of the song, Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat on his head and stood in front of the judges' seats. Li Shutang clearly saw that his face was covered with sweat, and his bangs were soaked and put on his forehead. He was panting for air, apparently tired enough from the chaos he had just had.
The atmosphere of the scene has been heated to the peak, Zhang Yuan bowed deeply to the audience and smiled. He loved such a lively stage, and all the cheers and screams made him feel comforted.
"Wow! Applause! Liang Xiu came to the stage with applause, carefully handed Zhang Yuan a tissue and praised: "It's obviously very good, why do you keep belittling yourself?" It's really hard. Look at this kid tired, wipe the sweat quickly. β
Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and sighed: "No way, take people's money!" β
Liang Xiu slapped Zhang Yuan's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "This broken child, what nonsense!" β
Zhang Yuan ran away with a smile, and scurried around on the stage for a long time before standing still, and said to the camera again: "It's not like this, don't hack me." In fact, I work hard to make the audience happy, and I am satisfied if I can make everyone happy for a while in their busy lives. β
"You're so annoying, you deserve to be hacked. Come back to me and stand here to listen to the opinions of the judges. β
Liang Xiu smiled and beckoned to Zhang Yuan, and he ran back by himself again, standing beside Liang Xiu silly.
Li Shutang can see that Liang Xiu really has an undisguised preference for Zhang Yuan, no matter how he hits and ridicules him, he is actually giving him a chance and letting him have more shots.
The judges began to score, Zhang Yuan really amused the audience very much and had a good interaction, so the audience judged's score was good, and the evaluation of the professional judges was not low.
Zhong Zheng gave Zhang Yuan a good evaluation and said with a smile: "Very professional performance." Zhang Yuan's scene has always been great, jumping so high on the stage, but his breath has always been stable, and the pitch is also very good, after all, he has been practicing since he was a child, and his basic skills are very good. Forget it, I don't want to praise you more for this kid, lest your tail will go up to the sky again, and say two shortcomings. One is that the lyrics are always wrong, but the English flavor is too heavy, so you should learn to speak hard. However, everyone present today is a master, and if Zhang Yuan wants to get a better ranking in the future, he must continue to work hard. β
It's time for Li Shutang, he doesn't know how to evaluate Zhang Yuan, because those sparkling eyes look at him, he can't help but want to give Zhang Yuan full marks.
Li Shutang restrained himself a little, added a little bit on the basis of Zhong Zheng's score, and said with a smile: "I think the cheers of the audience can already tell the story, a very shocking performance, the accent is indeed a problem, but it has little impact, I like it very much." β
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Shutang's elegant and beautiful smile, and suddenly became a little embarrassed. After all, it is not common for such good-looking people to praise him. In order to hide his shyness and embarrassment, Zhang Yuan began to play treasure again, holding his skirt that did not exist in ZΓ i, and made a ladylike salute to the audience, and then jumped off the stage.
After he went down for a long time, the laughter on the scene did not stop.
After the last two singers performed one by one, today's live broadcast was completed smoothly, and three idol singers obviously came to the bottom, and one person was eliminated. Zhang Yuan got a pretty good ranking, third place in the game.
The first place is Jiang Anrou, she really played so well, with the cooperation of the lighting and choreography, she is so beautiful that she seems to be a fairy, and it is no wonder that she is the first. The second place is Tang You, a female singer from Malaysia, who was very well-known before the start of the competition and was completely a dark horse. She was thin and small, but she had a very good voice, and her high notes almost knocked off the roof.
Zhang Yuan was also convinced by the loss to the two of them, happily accepted the third place, went home to rest, and prepared for the next game.
When Li Shutang was waiting for the driver to pick him up in the underground parking lot, he happened to run into Zhang Yuan again. He was also waiting for the driver to pick him up, listening to something with headphones in his ears, carrying a very large bag, and standing alone in the hallway.
Li Shutang walked up and took the initiative to greet Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan took off his headphones and turned around, showed a smile at Li Shutang, and said, "Mr. Li, hello." β
Li Shutang looked at Zhang Yuan with a kind face and said, "How can you be alone?" β
"Sister Min drove away, and I was waiting for her." Zhang Yuan was silent again after saying a few words, quietly moved his position, and kept a polite distance from Li Shutang.
Li Shutang felt that in fact, Zhang Yuan was not a person who was easy to get along with, and there was still a clear difference between him and on stage.
The two were silent for a while, and Li Shutang's driver drove the car over, and the two said goodbye and ended the awkward meeting.
Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, put on headphones and continued to wait for the car, and by the way, he flipped through his mobile phone to see the audience's reaction after today's live broadcast, and found that his discussion was not high, and the most popular was actually the judge Li Shutang.
The Internet all exploded, and everyone's reaction to Li Shutang was the same as the first time Zhang Yuan saw it, and he couldn't believe it at all, as such a successful businessman, he was not greasy at all, and he was handsome like that, he was at the best age for men, a 38-year-old golden bachelor, and his mature charm was irresistible. And Zhang Yuan met him twice, and felt that he was still good, and he felt that he was not arrogant at all, but had a demeanor of poetry and books, and he was simply a perfect person.
He is indeed a perfect person, but perfection is someone else's business, and Zhang Yuan has no idea of getting to know him deeply.
Zhang Yuan continued to look at the comments on the Internet, and there were many discussions about Jiang Anrou. However, many of them are obviously buying hot, and the marketing accounts began to frantically brush the topic of Jiang Anrou, and some people put two backstage photos of Jiang Anrou and Li Shutang, saying that the two are very compatible.
It seems that Jiang Anrou is really fighting hard this time, and she is working hard to make a comeback with this momentum, and she is too willing to spend money to buy popularity, and it is roughly estimated that it will be about one million to fry this headline.
Zhang Yuan counted with his fingers, Mom, it's too expensive, let him buy him reluctantly, he has always been slamming the door, unless it is the owner who spends money, Zhang Yuan will definitely not speculate, so the ruffian Zhang also has a nickname Chicken Thief Zhang.
Of course, there are still a lot of discussions about Zhang Yuan himself, but everyone's attention is on his amusement, and his music is rarely discussed.
As a singer, Zhang Yuan is still somewhat disappointed with such a result.
But it's good to have discussions, and slowly someone always finds out that his music is also very good, Zhang Yuan packed up his mood and went home.
After returning home, Zhang Yuan found that the lights were on at home, and he was immediately very happy, it must have been his parents coming. He moved out of the house when he became an adult, but he has always lived close to his parents, and there is only one son in the family, and his parents are very enlightened people, and they have always doted on him, and from a very young age, no matter how naΓ―ve and ignorant his dreams have always been supportive. In fact, the conditions of their family are not very rich, but for Zhang Yuan's music dream, his parents have paid a lot, and in order to buy him musical instrument stereo, the family almost had to go bankrupt.
In fact, his family is just an ordinary working family, his father is a worker, and his mother is a middle school music teacher.
Maybe it's genetics, maybe it's the influence of his family, Zhang Yuan is really talented in music, he often represented the school in singing competitions when he was a child, and he wrote and played songs by himself when he had nothing to do. When I was thirteen years old, I was hanging my voice in the park with my mother when I was discovered by the music producer. At the age of fourteen, Zhang Yuan released the first single in his life that he composed lyrics and composed music, which was also a big shock in the music circle of that year, after all, he was too young at that time, but he completed such an excellent and mature creation.
Back then, everyone in the circle thought that Zhang Yuan was a genius, and he would definitely shine and become a shining superstar in the Chinese music scene.
It's a pity that fate makes people, who would have thought that one day Zhang Yuan would not release an album, and he would run every day to make announcements.
However, Zhang Yuan is still very grateful for the qiΔ in front of him, he likes to stand on the stage to perform, some are a little red, a little money, some people like him, and can let his parents live in a good house and live a good life.
Zhang Yuan and his parents' house are just across the street, and his parents have to come over every once in a while to clean up the house for him and cook something delicious.
Zhang Yuan opened the door, and sure enough, he saw a supper on the table, and his parents were still watching TV and waiting for him. His messy house was all cleaned up by his mother, and Zhang Yuan's favorite big SpongeBob SquarePants doll was also cleaned and disinfected and placed on the sofa.
The decoration style of Zhang Yuan's house is the same as his clothing style, as many bells and whistles as possible, and there are dolls he likes everywhere.
"Dad, Mom, you're here. Also bought me kebabs, which was great. Zhang Yuan hurriedly sat down at the table and began to eat.
Zhang Qing greeted his son and continued to watch TV, while Zhao Yulan frowned in disgust, poured water for her son, and said, "You still eat, look at you are all fat balls on TV, ugly to death." β
"I'm not that fat myself, the TV just looks fat," Zhang Yuan touched his stomach, laughed and continued to eat, "Mom, you also watched the live broadcast?" β
"Look, that, son, why is Jiang Anrou so beautiful, and she sings well. By the way, is she in a relationship with that Teacher Li, why do I think they are a good match? Mr. Li is also really handsome, is he a star? β
"Mom, why are you so gossipy?"
"I'm just asking, I think that Jiang Anrou is the type you like, just talk about it. But maybe people don't look down on you, you're so fat and naΓ―ve, this kid, you can only be so fat and single. β
Zhang Yuan hurriedly begged his father for mercy: "Dad, if you say a few words, my mother will hit me again." β
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's better to be fat, it's better to be well-proportioned." β
Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll be fat and single like this." β
Saying that, Zhang Yuan ate another big bite of meat skewers, and the more he ate, the happier he became.
Zhang Yuan was eating, Zhao Yulan touched his head and said, "This son is so good, I want to stay for another two years and then confess." β
Zhang Yuan raised his face and smiled: "Okay, no problem, leave it for an expiration discount." β
"Well, I'd rather be single than compromised, we are your fat son, and you are happier than anything else."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan was grateful and smiled.
The family was eating and chatting happily, and then Zhang Yuan was too sleepy to go to bed.
After lying on the bed and turning off the light, Zhang Yuan felt that the room was very quiet, and the life-size Iron Man model placed at the head of the bed stared at him.
Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at Iron Man, feeling an indescribable loneliness.
When he was a child, Zhang Yuan liked that kind of beautiful sister very much, because his life ability was very wasteful, so he liked the kind of mature person who would take care of people. He has dated many sisters, but they always end in failure, and when he was young, he didn't know love at all, but he liked beautiful sisters superficially.
Now that he has grown up, Zhang Yuan began to examine himself seriously, and he felt more lonely day by day, he wanted to fall in love, wanted someone to support each other, wanted to have someone who understood him and was with him, the more he thought about it, the more that person did not come.
Maybe his loneliness and anxiety were discovered by his caring parents, so he recently came to accompany him, cooked food for him, and squeezed him by the way.
This is actually very relieving of his mood, so it's okay to wait, that person will always appear.
Or has it already appeared? You haven't caught it yet, have you?
Zhang Yuan thought with a smile before falling asleep.

When Li Shutang was sleeping deeply, he was suddenly woken up by a rapid mobile phone ringtone. Li Shutang opened his eyes and picked up the phone a little irritably, it was three o'clock in the morning, and the caller was Gu Tongtong, who was the little fan of Zhang Yuan for many years, and now he was studying in the UK.
Li Shutang's face darkened a little, and he picked up the phone without saying a word.
The screams of surprise on the other side startled Li Shutang.
"Ahh Elder brother! Gu Tongtong kept screaming at high decibels.
Li Shutang lowered his voice and said, "You'd better have something important to tell me." β
"Very important, very important, brother, are you going to be a judge? Why don't you tell me, I just read the picture that the fans will post! Brother, have you seen our Yuanyuan? β
Li Shutang was speechless for a long time, sighed and said, "Do you know what time it is?" You're just telling me this? β
Gu Tongtong said coquettishly: "I'm just too excited, brother, that important thing is coming!" Significant! If you really want to be a record company, you must sign us Yuan Yuan and praise him well! Also, brother, you must give us more Yuan Yuan votes, and it is right to give him a full score in each game! β
Li Shutang was troubled by this noisy cousin, and said, "After so many years, you still like him......"
Gu Tongtong snorted twice and said, "Brother, you don't care about me at all." I said I love him for the rest of my life and I want to marry him! β
"yes, got it." Li Shutang said perfunctorily, ready to hang up the phone.
"Don't be busy, brother!" Gu Tongtong stopped him a little eagerly, and said, "I'm telling you seriously, if you get to know Yuan Yuan, you will know that he is not the kind of person you see on the surface, he is really talented, as long as you understand it briefly, no one doesn't like him." Brother, if you want to be a record company, you must consider him, his contract with Orange Huan is about to expire, brother, you have to hurry up, otherwise he will definitely be snatched away by others! Ahhh He's so cute! β
Li Shutang was almost amused by Gu Tongtong, and after a simple contact, he did feel that Zhang Yuan was very cute, the kind of unique innocent and cute child that only young people have, and it was rare to be likable, but he was too vigilant, and it was not so easy to approach, and unfortunately, he seemed to have someone around him.
However, at work, Zhang Yuan is indeed a dedicated and profitable artist, he sings and writes well, and he is also open-minded, if he really wants to sign him, it seems to be a good choice.
