Chapter Seventy-Five: I Just Want to Sing
ps: The book review area has been a bit chaotic recently, some want Xu Yuexun to reunite, some want Xu Yuexun and the protagonist to die of old age, some want to be a teacher, and some don't want to be a teacher, my head is a little big. I said, can we follow the four-character policy of seeking common ground while reserving differences? After all, it is unrealistic to want to meet the wishes of every reader, so it is better to look forward to the development of the following chapters together, after all, this is Gu Yang's literary life, right? The long-lost 3000-word chapter will be sent, and don't forget the recommended tickets and collections.
Over the years, various variety shows have sprung up on TV, densely packed together, and what determines their life and death is the ratings, once the ratings are extremely low, then the death date of the show will also arrive.
And "My Name is a Singer" is a newly opened variety show, unlike other shows, this is completely a shining stage for singers.
At the beginning of the show, the program team will invite seven singers, each singer will sing a song, after singing, the audience will vote, and the person with the lowest vote rate will be eliminated after two rounds.
Rao is like this, Zhou Xing wants to be on this show, and it took a lot of effort.
"Then congratulations."
Facing the other party's surprised face, after listening to the introduction of the program "My Name is a Singer", Gu Yang was not too surprised, smiled and congratulated, said hello to Ma Yi, and then walked to the piano and tapped the keys irregularly.
Today's Qi Zhi of the two of them originally surprised him, but Zhou Xing's introduction made him completely understand, and he had almost guessed the purpose of the two in his heart, and was thinking about how to solve this matter.
Seriously, the other party was able to participate in the variety show "My Name is a Singer", which really disrupted Gu Yang's original jihua.
His original plan was to get acquainted with the other party for half a year, at that time the relationship was almost over, and the character understanding was basically in place, and he could help the other party release an album, plus the prestige of the Buddha book must have flourished at that time, and the readership will reach a new level.
And now such a bombshell is like a surprise cannonball, which shocks him a little bit and doesn't know what to do, so he can only soothe the piano for a while to calm his mood, thinking about what to do next when the other party asks for a song for him.
In the soft sound of the piano, Zhou Xing and Ma Yi glanced at each other, exchanged glances, Zhou Xing took a deep breath, walked over, stood next to the piano, and said sincerely: "Gu Yang, I have known you for many days, to be honest, I need that song very much, this show is my only hope." β
Gu Yang didn't speak immediately, gave the other party a reply, was silent for a few seconds, sorted out his thoughts, and asked: "You just said that it was actually a fluke to be on the show "I Call a Singer" this time, saying that there was a singer who was busy, so he temporarily quit the show, right?" β
Although I don't understand why Gu Yang asked this, Zhou Xing still told the process of the matter: "Actually, this matter was contacted by Brother Ma for me, about two months ago, there were rumors in the circle that this show was going to be released, but because this type is not very surprising, and there are no big-name singers to echo, and there are many variety shows, and there are few out of the water, most of them are stuffed in the water, Brother Ma is well-connected, and he has been busy for more than a month, and finally passed the test on the director's side, so that I can participate in this show, Thank you very much, Brother Ma. β
Ma Yi heard this, smiled, and said: "Don't say that, my original purpose is not pure, over the years, I have always wanted to set up an entertainment brokerage company, helping you is helping myself, I have been preparing for so long, and it will be established in another month, I have known each other for so many years, there is no need to say this thank you." β
Striking an accent on the keys, Gu Yang raised his head and looked at Zhou Xing's face full of joy: "What if, I mean if, you can only sing two songs and be eliminated?" β
Like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, extinguishing the excessively prosperous flames, Zhou Xing's expression instantly calmed down.
And Gu Yang, who raised this question, touched his nose with his fingers, rubbed it slowly, and analyzed: "Uh, I'm not pouring cold water on you, nor am I cursing you, you know, in your current state, you have no fame, no fans, no agency, you are a freelance artist, you don't have any background, and this show is an elimination system, if it is popular, there are other singers who want to add in and enhance their popularity, then among the singers who have been selected, who is likely to be the easiest to be eliminated?" β
After these words, Zhou Xing's face immediately changed, his body seemed to have lost his support, and his hand couldn't help but support the piano.
Indeed, he thought too well.
Compared with those singers, he is equivalent to a soft-footed shrimp, and he doesn't even have the scale armor to protect himself, once something really happens, he will definitely be the first to be eliminated by the program team.
No matter how glamorous the entertainment industry is on the surface, there are countless sewage and dirt hidden behind it, which he already knows, and Zhou Xing has also been in this for a while, so he naturally will not be naΓ―ve to believe that there is no insider, especially this kind of new program that urgently needs ratings.
Fairness is only a product that can be born under the same conditions.
Those 500 audience judges seem perfectly fair, but who knows where they came from? Is the verdict on each singer fair? Even if it's fair, who knows if the staff will do something about it?
The more I thought about it, the more hopeless I felt.
Zhou Xing felt that his eyes were dark, even permeating the entire shijie, so dark that he couldn't see anything in his sight. After being quiet for a while, there was a fire in his heart.
It was a question that had been asked to myself countless times in the middle of the night, a question that had been repeated countless times without an answer.
I'm going to be a singer?
yes, I'm going to be a singer?
These words spread wildly in his mind, occupying all his thoughts, until the moment he occupied all his thoughts, Zhou Xing suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, and returned to the original state in front of his eyes, and saw the young man who had been looking at him.
Then, he smiled.
It's a shallow and confident smile.
"I just want to sing."
Zhou Xing said.
swept away years of decadence and helplessness, washed away the vain ecstasy that he had just learned about "I Called a Singer", and his heart really precipitated.
After being silent for a few seconds, he said to Gu Yang: "Ten days ago, you once asked me a question, hoping that I would give you a reason, I didn't answer it at the time, and now, I can answer you, that is, I want to sing, I just want to sing." β
Yes, just want to sing.
Putting aside the obsession with the stage career when he was young and frivolous, and forgetting the powerful temptation of money and fame, after many years of lonely life, he really picked up his own heart, just wanted to simply sing and sing to the people he wanted to hear.
Now he has no agency, no agent, no band, no songs, nothing.
But in another sense, such a singer is the purest.
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Gu Yang raised his eyebrows and nodded, "This is a very good reason." β
After a pause, he added, "However, I still can't give you that song." β

Before Zhou Xing could speak, Ma Yi next to him hurriedly spoke, "In this case, I need Gu Caizi's song even more, listen to Zhou Xing, your song is really good, I believe in his vision, say, how much is it, I came out." β
Gu Yang smiled meaningfully and said, "Boss Ma, sometimes, it's not a matter of money. β
"I mean, that song is not suitable for you to sing, if you sing it, the effect will be weakened a lot, I want to send you another song, please bring paper and pen, I will write the score and lyrics to you."
After hearing this, Ma Yi realized that he had misunderstood the other party, and asked the shopping guide to hand over a pen and paper with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's me who is cheesy." β
After saying "It's okay, I can understand", pressing the blank paper on the counter, Gu Yang began to memorize the tune and lyrics silently.
For him, this kind of thing is actually not difficult, it is simply easy, of course, in order to make other people feel normal, he has to cross some notes and words on the blank paper from time to time, showing that he is reciting. And the song was already determined when I first contacted Zhou Xing, so I don't have to worry about it now.
After about fifteen minutes, the whole song was written, and he added the name of the song at the top of the paper and handed it to Zhou Xing: "Okay, this is it, you can take a look." β
Zhou Xing took the paper, tilted his head to look at the song on it, and was silent for more than ten seconds, his fingers couldn't help but beat the notes on it, Zuihou stomped his foot suddenly, and the floor trembled.
"What's wrong with you, Zhou Xing?"
Seeing his friend make strange movements, Ma Yi said with concern.
Zhou Xing's breathing became heavy, and his mood was a little unstable: "Brother Ma, I'm fine, Gu Yang, do you really plan to give me this song?" β
The pen in his hand turned between his fingers, and Gu Yang nodded: "Well, this song is very suitable for you now, I think you can sing it well, I hope that when you sing it, you can release this song after you finish it." β
Zhou Xing's eyes were faintly moist, and he took the paper and gave him a hug: "Brother, really xiexie you!" β
Only people in the circle understand how important a suitable song is to a singer, and in some cases, it can even be worth tens of millions of publicity costs. And from his point of view, this song is really suitable to the extreme, it is simply tailor-made!
"Don't be so busy thanking me."
The smile on Gu Yang's face was still the same, calm and calm, "I think you should practice this song first before you talk about it, and this song is more passionate, it's better to make up a song and sing it again, it's easier to shock people." β
Zhou Xinghaha nodded with a smile, his face full of sunshine: "Don't worry, I've learned something after so many years of idleness, and I still know how to arrange music, especially this kind of passionate music." β
"Well, by the way, when will the "My Name Be a Singer" show be broadcast?"
In response, Gu Yang suddenly remembered something and asked out loud.
"Oh, it's probably three weeks later, because it's a recorded show, and I have to prepare some things in advance, and I'll call you when the time comes."
"Well, I know, when the time comes, I wish you a helping hand, I wrote a book on the Internet, called "Buddha is the Way", almost 100,000 collections, and I will help you advertise when the time comes, it depends on your own play."
"What !?"
