Chapter 4: Copying the Legend
"Where did you get this guitar?" Daisy pointed to the guitar behind Li Mingcheng with a look of surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the plan to ask Li Mingcheng to be the leading actor in the short film failed, Daisy set her sights on another member of the family, Jelly Bean. But maybe there are not many highlights of this theme, and Jelly Bean really doesn't have the consciousness of being an actor, and Daisy, the cameraman and director, can't be too interested. As the absolute core of the film's creation, Daisy, who should have been distracted, wandered from time to time during the filming process, and when she saw Li Mingcheng coming back, her attention suddenly drifted away.
"A friend." Li Mingcheng replied lightly.
"Friends? How did I not know you still have friends in the United States? Daisy was even more surprised.
Her eyes widened suddenly: "You can't steal it!" ”
"......" Li Mingcheng feels that as a director, Daisy's imagination is at least very qualified.
"I'm sick! Steal or steal something valuable, steal a broken guitar? Li Mingcheng said angrily.
"Well...... Yes," Daisy nodded incredulously.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes and leaned towards Li Mingcheng, "Your friend, a woman, right?" ”
Li Mingcheng looked at the cheap cousin in front of him, and was a little speechless. It seems that no matter what country it is, women are full of gossip as a natural skill.
"Oh, don't stop talking!" Daisy slapped him on the shoulder anxiously, "Isn't it beautiful?" How old is that? How long have you known each other? ”
Li Mingcheng glanced at her, didn't want to bother, turned sideways around her and walked straight into the house with the guitar on his back.
"Don't go, I'm not done yet!" Daisy didn't intend to let him go, and persevered to catch up, "Is she American?" Or Chinese? Whites? Yellows? ”
“…… It can't be black! ”
"You go out every day to go on a date with her, right? What do you think? Where have we got? Did you kiss it? ”
Li Mingcheng was very suspicious that her aunt was born in Yanjing, otherwise how could she be so poor? There is no coldness in the face of a US imperialist people.
"Oh, let's talk about it, don't be shy, sister, I might be able to help you!"
Li Mingcheng decided that he couldn't let her go on like this anymore, and he had to divert her attention, or she wouldn't be at peace for the next few days.
"Stop!" Li Mingcheng suddenly stopped, turned around and stretched out his hand to grab the shoulder of the mixed-race cousin who was following his ass, and said word by word, "I, I agree to be your hero!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't tell my mom...... What did you say? ”
Daisy, who was still continuing to launch an offensive against Li Mingcheng in an attempt to dig something out of his mouth, instantly short-circuited her brain, and was stunned for a few seconds, and after coming back to her senses, her pretty face quickly flushed with excitement.
"Are you serious? Oh! Leo, I love you to death! Daisy said as she pounced on her and offered her a fragrant kiss.
"Hey, don't be happy so early," Li Mingcheng hurriedly stopped the cousin who was a little out of control, "I'm conditional!" ”
"Huh?!" Daisy immediately changed her expression with a sigh.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you," Li Mingcheng hooked a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe you'll like it again!" ”
……
"Can we start?"
"Hey, wait," Daisy fiddled with the home DV in her hand and adjusted the angle, "Well, it's okay now." ”
"Ready, three, two, one, go!"
Li Mingcheng, who was sitting in front of the piano, cleared his throat and gently stroked the black and white keys with his hand.

The sound of the piano is crisp in the ears, and the male voice sings loudly and croons.
Daisy had heard this song before, and some time ago, music programs on TV were often played, and at that time she just thought that the melody of this song was very good, and no matter how deep it was, it was gone.
But at this moment, the big boy in front of her sang softly in his slightly hoarse voice, accompanied by the soft sound of the piano, which came into her ears, and the lyrics, melody and special voice formed a strange echo, which made her subconsciously shiver.
It was as if something hit the heart at once, and I figured out some feeling in the depths of my soul.
She unconsciously began to wander, her eyes no longer focused on the picture on the camera, and her eyes focused on the boy sitting at the piano not far away, as if she knew him for the first time.

Daisy felt for the first time that her cousin was quite attractive, and his appearance was completely handsome, plus he sang so well, played the piano well, and knew how to play the guitar.
Thinking like this, she inexplicably had an irrepressible sense of superiority.

…………”
After a simple piano outro, the notes stopped, and Daisy came back to her senses and pressed the stop button on the DV in a bit of a panic.
"How's the shot?" Li Mingcheng walked over.
"Huh? Oh, not bad. Daisy replied by glancing at the DV image.
Li Mingcheng nodded, "Okay, don't forget to help me upload it to Youtube." ”
"Got it, you've said it several times." Daisy waved her hand impatiently.
Putting away the camera, Daisy seemed to suddenly remember something, and stopped Li Mingcheng, who was about to go back to the room.
"Leo, can you tell me, what are you doing with this?" Daisy asked curiously.
"Well...... this" Li Mingcheng was stunned, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Keep it secret for the time being!" ”
He could never have told his cousin that two years later, in Canada, north of the United States, a boy had quickly gained a large following by posting a video of his performance on YouTube. Then relying on the fiery popularity on the Internet, the boy was fancied, discovered, and cultivated by Arthur the Kid, and signed with a record company. Then with a song "BABY", it became popular all over the world, and became the brightest new star in the American pop music scene in one fell swoop!
Can he? He can't.
So he can only secretly imagine that in the near future, this history will be rewritten, and the creator of this legendary experience will become his name.

"Yaoyao?" Li Mingcheng hugged the landline, lying on the windowsill to watch the sunset outside, the sun on the horizon only had a little beginning, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of pedestrians very long.
"Yo, who are you? It's called such an intimacy, am I familiar with you? "On the other side of the world, it's probably early in the morning at this time, and it should be that the girl who just got up is still full of resentment.
Li Mingcheng laughed dryly a few times and asked nonsense: "Get up?" ”
"Could it be that I'm talking in a dream?" The girl snorted coldly.
Li Mingcheng retracted his head from the window and closed the curtains to block the red glow from the outside. He leaned sideways and found a more comfortable position against the glass window.
"Still angry?" Li Mingcheng said softly.
"Oh, how dare I! How dare I be angry with you, the advanced elite of a developed country, as soon as I am lagging behind! ”
Li Mingcheng smirked, this girl really had trouble with him.
"Okay, don't be angry, it's not worth it, you said that if you get angry, it won't be good."
"I'm willing, can you handle it?"
"I can't take care of it, you're so angry that I can't take care of you in the end."
"Phew! Who wants you to take care of it! ”
"Huh? Did you forget? Didn't you say when you were a child that you wanted to be with me for the rest of your life? ”
"I ...... I didn't say that......" The girl on the other end of the line stammered.
So, let's talk about childhood sweethearts, as long as neither of the two is so unbearable and difficult to get along, the relationship will always be closer in the end. Li Mingcheng may not like Liu Shiyao yet, but he still has a little good impression of it.
Perhaps Li Mingcheng didn't speak for a while, Liu Shiyao took a deep breath and asked softly with some caution, "You...... Over there...... Okay? ”
"Yes, it's fine. What about you, how are you doing? Li Mingcheng said.
"Me? I'm not like that, and there's nothing to do, let's go out, I don't know where to go, I can only stay at home every day, it's almost moldy......"
Li Mingcheng quietly listened to the girl babbling about the recent situation, and occasionally responded, indicating that he was still listening. The two of them just talked on the phone and chatted for more than ten minutes unconsciously.
"Oops, why has it been so long!" Liu Shiyao suddenly exclaimed, "I won't tell you, or my dad will scold me when he sees it, what about international calls!" ”
"We'll talk when you come back, hang up!"
"Yes, good. Good bye. Li Mingcheng nodded.
"Goodbye."
Liu Shiyao was just about to deduct the phone when she heard a soft call from the receiver: "Yaoyao." ”
She picked up the microphone again, "Huh? What's wrong? ”
The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, and just when Liu Shiyao doubted whether she had heard it wrong, Li Mingcheng's voice came slowly:
"What do you think if I want to be a star?"
