readx;
The sorrow of the end of youth is the same as the youthfulness of the first love of youth, after tasting it once, I can no longer find that feeling, Fang Xiao is through the party, he has experienced graduation in his previous life, and he is nodding friends with many people in this life, so he is very calm during the whole graduation dinner, he was not infected by the fanatical atmosphere of celebrating youth, and has always maintained restraint, but others can't, whether it is Liu Chengjie, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, or the permission of elegant temperament, he has a feeling of being a little on the head, even if it is the calm and introverted Qiao Yadan, he also drank some red wine, I talked to my classmates about what I didn't know.

"Boss, come! Have a drink, I haven't had a drink with you yet. β
Fang Xiao raised his head and saw that Lan Xiaoxi's face was as red as an apple, so he pointed to the empty spot beside him and motioned for her to sit down.
Lan Xiaoxi didn't sit down, she bent down, touched the beer can in front of Fang Xiao with the glass in her hand, then straightened up, drank it all, and drank all the red wine inside.
"What? I let you come here to eat, not to drink. β
"Just drink a little bit, everyone else is drinking, even Sister Xiao Ke has drunk it."
"She drinks less, you drink more, and you smell of alcohol."
"No wonder Sister Xiao Ke always says boss, you are stingy." Lan Xiaoxi sat next to Fang Xiao heavily, pointed to a few classmates with red faces and thick necks who were fighting for wine, and said with a smile: "They are arguing and drinking at the same time, it's so interesting, they will definitely cry later, Arlene cried just now." β
Fang Xiao looked at her moist and bright eyes, and said slowly: "Drinking alcohol can increase the moisture in the body, so that tears are not so shameful." β
"Boss, you're so philosophical."
"Philosophical, I'm adapting it." Fang Xiao tapped the beer can on the table with his index finger and asked, "How much wine have you drunk?" β
"Just a few drinks in a wine bar? I don't remember. Lan Xiaoxi supported his chin with both hands, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Boss, you can drink very well, why haven't you drunk before?" β
She smiled a little sluggishly, obviously drank a lot, but she could see that her speech was quite smooth. It doesn't seem to be to get drunk yet......
"They're graduating and leaving, so they're binge-drinking, why are you drinking so much?"
"I feel pretty sad too......" Lan Xiaoxi shook her head lightly and blinked vigorously. Then he said: "At the end of the concert that day, I felt similar to what they are now, and I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. β
Lan Xiaoxi grew up in a broken family, with a strong sense of loneliness and attachment, when F&Q was first established, she ran around with the license every day, and later when the license was very busy, she followed Mai Jiexin, who lived with her, every day to return to Songjiang. Fang Xiao felt that it was boring for her to stay at home alone, so she specially called her over to attend the graduation dinner to change her mood.
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, it is very common to gather and disperse, don't be too entangled in this feeling. It will be fine in a few days. β
"It's easy to say." Lan Xiaoxi lowered her head and muttered, then raised her head again, looked at Fang Xiao with dark eyes, and said softly, "Boss, I like it very much...... Loved the days with you. β
Fang Xiao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "We will meet often." β
He grabbed a can of beer. Stood up and went to find Liu Chengjie, before leaving, he hesitated slightly, then reached out and patted Lan Xiaoxi's smooth short hair, and said, "Don't drink anymore, it's not good for your health." β
β¦β¦
After Lan Xiaoxi woke up. Feeling her mouth dry and her forehead heavy, she snorted twice, then opened her eyes to see a chandelier that spiraled out like a fan bone. Simple and chic.
The chandelier in my room is not like this......
Is it in the hotel?
This lamp seems to have been seen somewhere......
Lan Xiaoxi closed his eyes, opened them again, and then got up with a bone, looked around, and exhaled silently.
Sure enough, it was the guest bedroom of Sister Xiaoke's house......
looked down again, he was wearing a set of soft silk pajamas, this is also familiar, and he bought it in the flagship store in Causeway Bay with Sister Xiaoke.
Last night, the boss asked him not to drink anymore, but he was very happy, so he drank a few more glasses, and then ......
Lan Xiaoxi tapped her head with the palm of her hand, but she couldn't remember what she did after she was drunk, she picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and looked at it, it was already 9:40.
Damn it!
Jumping out of bed and barefoot, Lan Xiaoxi walked to the bedroom door like a cat, gently opened a gap and looked out, and coincidentally, she saw permission at a glance - permission was standing in the door with a stack of clothes.
"What? Want to sneak away? β
"No, that ......" Lan Xiaoxi greeted with a timid smile: "Sister Xiaoke, morning." β
"It's almost 10 o'clock." Xu Xu walked into the bedroom, looked at her, and asked, "How do you feel, is it uncomfortable?" β
Lan Xiaoxi scratched her hair and laughed embarrassedly.
"Just know the smirk, what crazy you were last night, drinking so much wine!" She threw her clothes on the bed and said, "If you feel bad, you can sleep a little longer, and if you don't feel bad, come down and eat something." β
"It's not uncomfortable, it's not uncomfortable."
"Let's go take a shower first, there are clean towels and toothbrushes in the bathroom." Xu put the key in his hand on the bedside table and said, "I just went to your house and brought a set of clothes, you vomited everywhere last night, and the clothes were not worn, I just lost them." β
Lan Xiaoxi was stunned and asked, "How did I come here last night?" β
"Of course we carried you here." Xu Xu smiled and said, "I originally wanted to send you to the hospital, but Fang Xiao said that you hadn't reached that level yet, you just fell asleep, so he left you here." β
"Where's the boss?"
"I went to Xiangjiang Satellite TV to record a program."
"Did I throw up on the boss?"
"What do you say? I can't carry you. β
Lan Xiaoxi was annoyed and knocked her forehead with both hands.
"Don't knock it, in short, you are not allowed to touch alcohol again, not beer." Permission urged her: "Go take a shower." β
Lan Xiaoxi walked slowly to the bathroom, and when she was halfway there, she turned around and asked, "Sister Xiaoke, who changed my clothes?" β
"I changed, I not only washed you clean, changed your clothes, but also slept with you all night." Qiao Yadan appeared in the doorway, holding a glass of chilled watermelon juice. While stirring with a straw, he said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, I found that you talk a lot in your dreams." β
Lan Xiaoxi opened her mouth slightly, stunned for a moment, and then held her head in her hands. Escaped into the bathroom.
"What did Xiaoxi say in his dreams last night?"
"I didn't say anything, I slept like a puppy."
"Then why did she do that?"
"Because she likes the men in our family, she is a thief."
β¦β¦
At the beginning of Fang Xiao's crossing, he didn't have a clear career plan, he wanted to be a big boss behind the scenes, and he wanted to be a big star in front of the stage. That is to maximize the use of the resources in your mind, attract popularity, focus on the media, deify yourself into a benchmark figure, and then use your own influence as the leader. With the Internet as the minions, the four links of "creation", "singing", "distribution" and "audience" are connected to create a one-stop monopoly entertainment group.
Among them, the most important link is "creation", as long as the source is controlled, the remaining three links will come naturally, so Fang Xiao agreed to participate in the "Original Innovator King" program. The main purpose is not to promote, but to make friends with musicians with creative ability, after all, no matter how much music you remember in your mind, it is limited in the end, and sooner or later it will be used up, and your family knows your own affairs. He is very talented in playing musical instruments, and he is also very talented in arranging, but he really has no creative talent, and besides, he can't make a forest alone. There is great power in numbers, and it is always more promising for a group of people to do one thing than for one person.
It's just that after Fang Xiao recorded the audition, he was a little disappointed, "The Original Innovator King" is very serious and has a lot of investment, it can't be said to be a shoddy program, but it can't be denied that this show was done in a bit of a hurry, the quality of the original songs found in the audition is uneven, and there are few musicians who are outstanding, and the ones with some characteristics have limited development potential.
Planner Sun Han also told Fang Xiaoming that the time is tight, the task is urgent, and the group of musicians found by the program team are professional or semi-professional singers who sing in bars in major cities, and some are old rivers and lakes introduced by friends in the circle, basically they are all well-known people, and the selected songs are all old songs written a year or two ago, and some have even been circulated locally or on the Internet for a long time, but they have no chance to release records.
In this way, it is not surprising, there are indeed masters in the folk, and there are indeed good songs, but they must dig deeper, like this kind of musicians who are famous but can't release records, they belong to the level of not up or down, you must know that although the traditional record company is down, but after all, it is based on music to eat, and the eye of people to watch songs and the sense of smell of business are not bad, and if you want to pick up the rest of them, you have to look at luck.
The so-called familiar reading of 300 Tang poems, can not chant poems but also chant, although Fang Xiao has no original ability, but the ability to appreciate is absolutely good, so at the end of May, when he recorded the audition, he did not turn around much, plus although he was like a rainbow at that time, but it has not yet reached the point of admiration of 10,000 people, literati is a common problem, even if they know that he is very promising and talented, many old fritters can't look down or can't pull their faces to call him, a hairy boy who has not yet graduated, called a mentor, so in the end only received 8 students, and according to the regulations of the program, Each mentor has to accept 12 students and put together an "album" - of course, other mentors are also lacking, after all, the repechage is a necessary part of reality shows to create topics and make suspense, how can they be selected from the beginning.
Although Fang Xiao is disappointed with the students found by the program, for those students, it is very important whether they can be shortlisted, because programs such as "Mai Basai" and "The Strongest Voice" are all hosted by Daoxiang Records, and once the students are shortlisted, they will have to sign a very harsh long-term contract with Daoxiang, and "The Original Innovator King" is a self-made program of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, which adopts an open cooperation model, as long as the students can enter the second round, they can independently choose to go to any record company that has a cooperative relationship with the program, and under mutual competition, the contract will be much richer. The prospects for development will also be better.
The program team found a total of more than 110 songs, and the last audition 5 mentors received a total of 49 songs, and this time they received 11 songs, and they need to listen to more than 60 songs again, so it takes a long time to record, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, and recording until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Ah, I've finally found the song I want." Bai Xiaoqi tapped the button, turned the high-backed chair, selected a college girl who played and sang by herself, and said a few very sensational cutscenes, and after the director took a break for a while, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Fang Xiao, how many songs are you missing?" β
"Two songs."
"Your demands are too high."
"Yes! There aren't many people who can write songs like you do. Don't be too harsh. Zhu Qinqing picked up the drink provided by the sponsor, took a sip, and then asked, "Fang Xiao, I heard that you were going to be a student at the beginning." If you are a student, which song do you plan to sing, "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"? β
Fang Xiao smiled and said nothing.
Lin Zhujun, who was the farthest away, jumped off the high-backed chair and interjected: ""Forgotten Time", as long as I say a word, I will turn around. β
"I love 'Thank You, Mom and Dad', I think it's so beautifully written." Bai Xiaoqi clasped her hands in prayer and asked, "Fang Xiao, can I cover this song?" I want to record a single and dedicate it to my mom and dad. β
Bai Xiaoqi was a smash hit in the early 90s. Now he is in his forties, but he is well maintained, this kind of girlish action does not seem to be out of harmony, but has a mature charm, Fang Xiao made a gesture of please feel free. But he said: "Sister Xiaoqi can contact my copyright agency." β
Shu Yanxiang also paced over to Fang Xiao's side, and said with interest: "You all think badly, Fang Xiao may not be able to sing the songs he wrote before, maybe he writes and sings on the spot, just like that nameless song." β
"Brother Xiang looked up to me too highly, it was just a coincidence that day......"
After about five minutes, the audience who had gone to the convenience or went to smoke had returned and taken their seats. Under the direction of the director, several instructors sat in high-backed chairs and continued to select songs.
ββ¦β¦
At what time, this society is full of rancid smells
When, the world is full of moans of boredom
β¦β¦β
Fang Xiao only listened to the beginning, and then took a picture of the red button. turned the high-backed chair, and sure enough, this time it was Meng Fangfei and the rock band of the tattooed man yesterday - Meng Fangfei is an electric guitar, the tattooed man is a bassist, and the name of the band is very weird. It's called "The Band of the Dead".
"The Original Innovator King" was originally only allowed to participate in the competition, not the team, but later in order to pull Fang Xiao's F&Q to participate, the team was allowed to participate, because this show attaches great importance to it and has invested a lot of money, and the reality show featuring original music has no precedent to follow, the future is uncertain, the pressure of the chief director Tian Yeming is extremely high, if the ratings are not ideal, not only will the future be ruined, but the entire team will be withdrawn.
However, several record companies that have a cooperative relationship with the show have said hello privately, try not to choose a team, the reason is very simple, signing a person and signing a group of people, the salary and training cost are very different, so during the audition, except for Lin Zhujun who chose a duet, the rest, whether it is a band or a group, are all hanged.
Fang Xiao has always been very cautious in choosing songs, and this time he turned around so quickly, which surprised the audience, and several other mentors were also surprised, expressing their confusion with body language and eyes, because this song is not outstanding in terms of quality or singing, and more importantly, the lyrics of this song are very intense, and there are foul words, which are not suitable for TV at all.
When the lead singer sang the last lyrics, Meng Fangfei carried the guitar and came to a solo solo, her electric guitar style is completely different from Lan Xiaoxi, Lan Xiaoxi's solo is very particular about the trend of the melody and the control of emotions even if the speed is fast, and Meng Fangfei doesn't care about the melody and mood at all, the music is wanton and manic, as if countless cannonballs bombarded the earth, like thousands of lightning piercing the rainy night, there is a palpitating but hysterical pleasure.
No wonder Xu Xu quarreled with her every day, but he could still endure her for half a year......
No wonder Shi Lilin had a holiday with her, but she was still willing to help her intercede......
Very strong and talented indeed.
Shu Yanxiang looked across Bai Xiaoqi and gave Fang Xiao a thumbs up. After the solo was over, Meng Fangfei bowed to the tutor's side, then took two steps back, pursed her lips and did not speak.
The lead singer of the band held the microphone and was just about to speak, Fang Xiao raised his hand and said, "I want to ask first, which of you wrote this song?" β
"We created it collectively."
"The lyrics and songs are all collectively created?" Fang Xiao didn't believe it, and asked: "Even if it is a collective creation, there is a person who is the main writer, can you tell me who it is?" β
The lead singer had long hair and dark skin, and he couldn't tell how old he was, he looked back, and then said with a slight smile: "I wrote the lyrics and songs." β
Fang Xiao sighed, and then said, "The song you sang just now is called "Pain", right? Actually, I also heard another song of yours called "No, No, No, No", who wrote that song? β
The lead singer was stunned when he heard this, Meng Fangfei pointed to the fingerprint man behind him and said, "It's written by seafood." β
"Seafood? It's an interesting name. Shu Yanxiang smiled and adjusted the atmosphere and asked, "Is it his real name or a nickname?" β
The tattooed male urn replied angrily: "It's my real name." β
Several tutors laughed, and after laughing, Fang Xiao raised his hand and said: "Actually, this "Pain" is very mediocre, the melody is very old-fashioned, even if it is placed in the 90s of the last century, there is nothing new, the lyrics are very empty, social injustice, pain, money is evil, pain, system**, pain...... What the hell are you suffering? Music is not shouting slogans, rock is not, and there is no sense of power when you sing, the higher the treble roars, the more empty the music is, like a papier-mΓ’chΓ©, unreal. β
The members of the band looked at each other when they heard this, a little overwhelmed, and the audience who were excited by the fierce music just now was even more stunned, and the director was in high spirits, directing the camera to capture various expressions.
"I turned around because I thought your bass players and guitarists were very talented, and it was a shame that they were buried like that." Fang Xiao looked at Meng Fangfei and said, "If you are willing to change "Pain" to "No, No, No, No", I can guarantee that you will enter the top six now, if you insist on using this song "Pain", you will be 100% out in the next round." β
The lead singer was obviously confused by Fang Xiao's merciless comments, and standing there in a daze, Meng Fangfei stepped forward to replace him and said, "We haven't rehearsed that song. β
"It's okay, as long as you agree to change, it's still early for the next round, and you have time to practice."
Fang Xiao admired a song that had never been sung so much, the band became famous, the show had more suspense, and the audience had something to talk about, which was originally a happy thing, but the lead singer suddenly said: "We won't change!" Just sing "Pain". β
