Chapter 171: A Rumor
After returning to school from NW City, Chen Chufan continued to start his quiet and fulfilling college life. Chen Chufan has ignored the results of the song that was transmitted to the Internet, since he can get the approval of a professional like Director Marshall, it shows that his song is definitely meritorious, so Chen Chufan is a lot more confident
However, after uploading his own songs for more than a week, basically no one cared about them. Chen Chufan is also much sober now. The aroma of wine is still afraid of deep alleys, not to mention the nameless new work of a nobody. In the absence of any publicity, it is lucky enough to be able to prove itself, not to mention that he has already earned 20,000 US dollars, what is not satisfied?
Of course, there are still expectations. He waited for the day the movie was released to see if his performance could open up online sales for his debut single. Of course, he has accepted the reality and does not have too high hopes for the final result, first of all, the box office of the movie is not known yet, and secondly, even if the film is a big hit, after all, his song is used in the ending song. According to Chen Chufan's habit of watching movies, when the plot of the movie ends, that is, when he directly turns off the screen or walks out of the movie theater, he doesn't think that many viewers will stay until the end and enjoy his songs completely.
Of course, he doesn't think that there will be no effect at all, otherwise why would he give up $60,000 to fight for a chance to be on camera? It's just that the effect is not worth the 60,000 US dollars, and Chen Chufan has no spectrum in his heart.
Of course, he didn't forget the cruel words he released at Kalman that night, nor did he forget the feeling that made him feel comfortable in front of the camera, so he began to study harder. He believes in the truth of accumulation, and success always requires preparation.
So he now stays in the practice room every day to practice various singing skills, and the time spent in the library to absorb all kinds of music knowledge is getting longer and longer.
This hermit-like life. Let Ye Feng sneer, in Ye Feng's words, the current Chen Chufan is simply an isolated ascetic. People who are bored to a certain level will live as boring as him.
For Ye Feng, a day trip to the NY film shooting site is just a small fragment of his life. Recently, his relationship with Kailin has become closer and closer, and he has not even returned home for several days, but Chen Chufan is also used to it. It's better this way, at least when I sleep at night, I won't be disturbed by a man's sudden excitement.
Peaceful days always flew by, and just like that, more than two weeks passed. The calendar was also flipped to November. Winter is coming, and the temperature in Boston has also begun to drop suddenly in the past two days, especially the drizzle outside the window, which makes people feel even colder, and people who are outdoors have begun to put on thick coats.
Chen Chufan has not waited for Coach Marshall to call him for the premiere, but it will not be so fast, the film will have to go through some editing and processing in the later stage, it will have to be reviewed, and the schedules of major theaters will be arranged. It's all a bit of a hassle.
So he still lives a quiet life of his three points and one line. At the same time, his gains are also huge, for example, he passed the intensive course assessment given by the professor in advance, for example, he applied for the advanced examination of all subjects in advance, and basically passed all of them. In particular, his five subjects, such as "Piano Accompaniment Art", "History of Music Development", and "Audition Singing and Ear Training", were even given full marks by the professors. Professor Rees even made it clear that he had already been qualified to apply for graduate school in advance.
This is not simple, you must know that Chen Chufan has only been in the academy for more than two months. Of course, this mostly depends on his perverted memory and his genetically modified voice by aliens.
However, there are gains and losses, and Chen Chufan's modified body has become a little strange. He can complete some difficult movements smoothly, but he can't master some basic dance moves. The movements he made often made people laugh, so the dance body course was the only one he hung up. This made Chen Chufan a little afraid to go to the dance and body class, because he always felt that Professor Lola, who taught this course, always looked very melancholy when he looked at him
In short, Chen Chufan enjoys this ordinary life very much, because he has gained a lot.
But God always seems to like to go against him, even if he wants to live a plain life. What disturbed his blandness was a rumor, which, of course, can also be called an out-and-out rumor in the eyes of those who know the truth of the matter.
This rumor is about the "Discover Future Idols" event held by the school and Universal Music, and the protagonist is Chen Chufan.
Although nearly a month has passed since this event, the topic of this event has not only not cooled down, but is gradually fermenting and heating up. Because Universal Music has already started to record and promote the songs selected for this event's auditions. Therefore, the singers selected in this event have become stars in the academy recently, and their scenery has also stirred the envy of other students.
Especially the two Korean sticks who ranked first in this selection - Park Jung-won and Choi Qinghao, their news has never stopped. Although they haven't officially signed a contract with Universal yet, the limelight of the two has been really strong recently, they went to audition today, and tomorrow they will shoot a MV or something to cooperate with the publicity, and even the posters of the two have begun to appear on campus.
And the rumor about Chen Chufan is also related to this selection competition. The approximate version is like this, in this selection competition, there is an international student from country Z, because his entry is too rough and shoddy, which provokes Mr. Kalman, the person in charge of the event of Universal Music, to criticize two sentences, and this international student from country Z not only does not reflect on himself, but has a conflict with Mr. Kalman, and the result is that Mr. Kalman is very angry, and then has a very bad impression of the overall quality of the students of the Berke College of Music, and is originally going to cooperate with the academy for a long time "future idol" The event is likely to become a buzz because of the clumsy performance of this international student from country Z, and there will be no next time.
This rumor is a mixed bag. On the day of the selection competition, Chen Chufan did have a conflict with Kalman, but the reason for the conflict was by no means because of the so-called shoddy production of Chen Chufan's works, because Kalman did not give Chen Chufan a chance to perform at all. However, not many people know about it, and the people in the academy stayed until the end on the day of the trials, except for the two professors in the academy, there were only two Korean sticks, Chen Chufan himself, and his two friends Ye Feng and Kailin.
It was because so few people knew the truth that the rumor was still very marketable, because it happened to be the weekend, and it was said that Kalman was seen taking a group of judges from the world into his car in a fit of rage and leaving the campus.
In the eyes of the students who don't know the truth, the words and deeds of this Z country not only discredit the college, but also make them lose a lot of valuable opportunities. This kind of thinking has grown, and it will naturally grow and grow, and over time it will become resentment. It is also natural that there will be good deeds who will find a way to find out who this Z country person who ruined the reputation of the academy and made everyone lose a good performance platform.
In fact, this is very easy to check, because there is only one Z country person who signed up for the entire selection competition. So Chen Chufan quickly became famous in the academy. Of course, this is not a good reputation, and it also disrupts Chen Chufan's originally peaceful campus life, a small role that was originally quite transparent among the students, and there were people pointing and talking about it everywhere he went.
Of course, Chen Chufan also heard a lot of gossip, even if he rarely had contact with his classmates, but he still had to take professional classes, and he naturally felt the pointing and whispering of his classmates in professional classes. In particular, he has a sensitive ear that makes it easy to hear what others are saying about him.
When he heard this tone for the first time, Chen Chufan didn't think much about it, but felt funny. So he didn't explain anything. What's more, how does he explain it? He is used to being alone in the academy, except for his relationship with Ye Feng, he has no contact with other classmates, who does he explain to him? What's more, he also believes in the truth that the pure will clear themselves, and the rumors will stop at the wise.
However, he obviously overestimated the wisdom of other students, especially this rumor that was related to the vital interests of each student. Naturally, there are many people who are willing to believe. Especially those students who think very highly of themselves and feel that the reason why they have not succeeded only because of a lack of performance opportunities are more likely to believe this rumor, and of course they have more resentment than ordinary people against this Z country man who has angered Mr. Kalman.
After holding back your grievances for a long time, you need to vent them.
So everything happened naturally. After class one day, Chen Chufan was stopped in the aisle outside the classroom by several of his classmates. It should have been a premeditated act, because there was a group of classmates watching nearby.
"What's the matter?" Chen Chufan raised his head and asked the classmates standing in front of him very calmly, although he got along day and night, he was not very familiar with it, and only knew the name of one of them, because he always seemed very active in class, and he was ordered by the professor a few times, and his super memory made Chen Chufan write down his name, Bill. Black. It just so happened that a group of people seemed to be headed by him.
"You're embarrassed to ask us what's the matter? Don't you know it yourself? Bill said with a cold look at him.
Chen Chufan was silent, he didn't deliberately show his dazedness. Because he knew very well why these people had stopped him. Although he didn't expect a rumor to have such a big impact. But he didn't bother to explain anything to these unreasonable people. Even if they explain that everything is a rumor, but in fact they are the ones who were hurt and insulted because of that tryout, will they believe it? (To be continued......)
