Chapter 161: After Fame

"It's another ordinary Sunday..."

Yan Qing, who had finished his daily vocal practice, sighed and walked out of the gate of the inner courtyard, and he planned to go to the restaurant in the inverted seat room to have breakfast as usual.

Since Zhang Yameng and Li Hanyuan moved in, Yan Qing has rarely ordered meals with Miao Miao outside, and his happiness has improved significantly.

The air in the small courtyard of the vestibule was filled with a faint smell of fireworks in the world, and Yan Qing, who had a keen sense of smell, had already smelled the fragrance of potstickers, fried and the like...

It was very pleasant, Yan Qing quickened his pace, and when he was only more than ten meters away from the door of the restaurant, a psychedelic and ethereal singing voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

『you'reastarmylove

Dear, you are a star

Youshouldn'thavetodealwiththat

You shouldn't worry about these things

I'llnevermakeyoufeellikethat

I never wanted to get you in trouble

CauseIloveme

Because I love myself.

The ear power of the monitoring level made Yan Qing still hear Li Hanyuan's proud admiration mixed in the singing and the sound of the oil pot: "I really didn't expect that my sister Jing's rhythm and blues singing can be so good..."

For the first time, Yan Qing lightened his footsteps, and he was a little confused: "Why do they suddenly listen to "me" and the song that Hum sent in New York, this... Are netizens solving the case so fast now?"

Surprised, Yan Qing quietly pricked up his ears and quietly continued to approach the restaurant, he frowned and secretly calculated: "This sound quality... Most of the sound sources are Lao Zhang's Bluetooth speakers, could it be that she dug up this song? There's no way, Weng Xiaoge's English singing voice is too recognizable!"

The singing continued in the restaurant, mixed with the discussion of whether the three girls had a match or not:

『Ilovemeenoughforthebothofus

Only by knowing self-love can we better understand how to get along with each other

That'swhyyoutrustme

That's why you trust me so much

Iknowyoubeenthroughmorethanmostofus

I know you've been through and endured far more than I have."

"Listen... Listen! Stars, self-love, trust, experiences... The lyrics are all about the two of them together..."

The eavesdropper Yan Qing heard Zhang Yameng continue to gossip: "Don't think about it, this song must be sung by Brother Qing!" ”

『Sowhatareyou?

So you're still there?

whatareyousoafraidof?

What are you afraid of?

Darlingyou,yougivebutyoucannottakelove

Beloved, please remember that love is a shared commitment and commitment of both parties.

Miao Miao seems to be holding the bilingual version of the lyrics in comparison: "Looking at the lyrics, it should be a narrative style work, the rapper's mentality has undergone some subtle changes after he became famous, and he and his girlfriend discuss their relationship with each other..."

Li Hanyuan was extremely sensitive: "That means that if the stone hammer IssacYen is Brother Qing... Will their former relationship be exposed? ”

During the discussion between the three female voices, the drum beat of the music melody increased slightly, and a male voice with a strong African slang accent began to rap:

『Yeah,Ineedtohearthatsh*t

I love hearing you tell me this

Ihatewhenyou'resubmissive

I hate you for being accommodating."

Zhang Yameng's voice was very calm: "Han Kite, you are concerned about it, there is a reason why IssacYen is known as a street poet..."

『Passiveaggressivewhenwe'retextingIfeelthedistance

The stiff text messages made me feel the distance between them

Ilookaroundthepeersthatsurroundme,theseguystripping

Looking at the peers around me, it seems that they all have bad intentions towards me

Ilikewhenmoneymakesadifference

butdon'tmakeyoudifferent

Money improves our lives, but it never distorts your heart."

"IssacYen hasn't been active for long, and the reason why he is revered as an OG by the East Coast rap scene is precisely because he has raised the depth of thought in the musical form of rap... Wait a minute..."

The sound of music coming from the restaurant seemed to be pressed and paused by Zhang Yameng, and she continued to analyze: "I specifically learned that the rap works on the East Coast before him were all about gangs, money, dirty words, women, drugs, alcohol, revenge and the like..."

"That's why I don't usually like to listen to rap, I think they're too pompous! I'm afraid that others won't know that I have money..."

Mixed with the sound of pots and pans, Li Hanyuan muttered: "But Brother Qing's "Lisao" is quite good. ”

"IssacYen's contribution to rap is reflected in the sublimation of the content form, there are no cars, tickets, horses, braggart and cruel words in his songs, and there is no cynicism and deviance unique to the bottom of African-Americans..."

Zhang Yameng seems to be reciting a certain music commentary according to the script: "IssacYen's works are full of humanistic care, including the yearning for love, confusion, and regret and melancholy after falling out of love, as well as reflections and criticisms of the current social situation in the United States." The lyrics full of emotion and depth, the highly recognizable Flow and the extremely low-key and mysterious image have made him more popular and sought after. ”

Miao Miao was still immersed in the sentence before Lao Zhang: "Street poet? It's so romantic..."

"Haha~ Actually, it's not romantic..."

Laughing helplessly, Zhang Yameng continued to explain: "The word street means that he was born in the Bronx neighborhood, which is one of the most chaotic areas of New York gangs, and there are still some rumors that IssacYen has a good relationship with a certain bigwig of the Blood Gang in the New York area..."

Li Hanyuan seemed to have completed the frying process, and she drew inferences and asked, "That poet, does that represent the depth of his work?" ”

"Yes, three late-day gospel raps aside, and among the five OldSchool rap songs, there are gang-themed "BloodGang", a work that reflects on violence, "AfterbeFamous", an anti-discrimination theme "SkinClour", and..."

"There's also Earthless, which calls for environmental protection."

Yan Qing replied silently in his heart through the wall, and even he couldn't help but praise Zhang Yameng's extremely solid homework.

Miao Miao was puzzled and asked: "But because of this song "After Becoming Famous", there are still people who suspect that Brother Qing'er and... Sister Jing is a couple..."

"Meow meow, why do you also pay attention to the super talk of "close to nature"!"

Zhang Yameng's voice was not in a hurry, it seemed that she handed the mobile phone to Miao Miao, and after she teased Miao Miao, she also explained: "Those are all made up by the brains of people who knock Qingjing CP, you see, this kind of opinion on Twitter is almost extinct, and it has long been officially labeled as fake news." ”

"I didn't, just look at it, it's all carried by other people..."

didn't give Zhang Yameng a chance to entangle CP Chaohua, Miao Miao's voice was a little shy, and she admitted softly: "My English is not as good as yours, and my understanding is a little slow..."

Zhang Yameng explained intimately: "This IssacYen and Sister Jing didn't appear much in New York at that time, but there were also a few times when the audience was present, and many netizens and even staff members who had watched their performances on Twitter reported that they didn't behave like a couple or anything..."

Li Hanyuan also regained her composure, she analyzed: "First of all, the most controversial issue is the timeline, and then the accent, I have heard Brother Qing speak English, and there is no such African-American slang tone at all, but... He's a top actor..."

"Hehe, that's it, our brother Qing'er has always learned what he is."

Miao Miaojiao smiled: "I still think Lao Zhang's analysis was very reasonable at the beginning, just now this song is really like singing Brother Qing'er's own story." ”

"Since "Afterbefamous", there have gradually been a large number of male and female duets of R&B singers feat rappers in the Chinese music scene, and many of the songs in it are more explicit than the lyrics of this one..."

Zhang Yameng didn't bother with the timeline, she was still explaining the lyrics to Miao Miao: "So from the perspective of the public, this is not a stone hammer... If it is confirmed that IssacYen is really Brother Qing, it can only prove that he and Sister Jing are old friends, at most the way they got along in the early stage of the show is a little suspicious..."

"Wait a minute, Lao Zhang, Sister Qing is calling back..."

Li Hanyuan interrupted Zhang Yameng's continued unfolding, and she calmly answered Shao Qing's phone: "Sister Qing... Well... We were just about to have breakfast here, and Brother Qing hadn't arrived yet... Hmm..."

"Why doesn't Kite turn on the speaker..."

Except for Li Hanyuan's intermittent voice, the restaurant was very quiet, and Yan Qing, who was in a hurry, didn't have a tailwind after all, so he couldn't get into the phone and listen to what Shao Qing said.

Li Hankite's tone was subdued and frustrated, with a girlish voice: "Don't you have to stare at the preparation of the kick-off meeting?" I'm still going to go to the studio later, okay, I'll tell Brother Qing later, Sister Jing won't go tomorrow..."

"The kick-off meeting... Oh, it should be a joint venture to set up a film company, well, we're both hands-off, that's good! Hurry up and get to the point, kite!"

Yan Qing, who was eavesdropping on the root of the wall, couldn't wait to urge Li Hanyuan to get to the point quickly.

However, Shao Qing on the phone was very good, she seemed to bring the topic to the end that Yan Qing wanted to hear, Li Han echoed in a swallowish voice: "Haha, we have all seen... Sister Qing, is that street poet Brother Qing or not? Did Sister Jing say it herself... Haha, that's no different from admitting it in person! ”

"With her buzzing temperament, she probably didn't bother to respond, so Shao Qing concluded based on the silence behind her back?"

Yan Qing, who is as careful as a hair, can only analyze the situation on Shao Qing's side through what Li Hanyuan said.

Li Hanyuan suddenly lowered his voice: "We have been analyzing it just now, Brother Qing must not know that this matter has spread, his vocal practice should be over, and he will come over soon..."

"If it weren't for "me", if it weren't for hearing you singing, I really didn't know that the incident would happen so soon..."

Yan Qing replied to Li Hanyuan's words in his heart.

"Got it, I'm not going to respond... Well, what! Ah, okay! Is this what Sister Jing meant? Okay, okay, it's what Sister Qing means, I understand, I understand... Rest well, bye-bye. ”

The last call was a little startled, and after Li Hanyuan hung up the phone, she spoke in a very excited voice: "It's true, Sister Qing said that the street poet is Brother Qing..."

Miao Miao immediately complained softly and glutinously in her highly recognizable voice: "No wonder I came to the imperial capital to find him at that time... Brother Qing'er left me in the boarding school after changing hands, it turned out to be a two-line operation, and I was in a hurry to fly to fall in love, not at all because I thought I was in a bad mood to relax..."

"Whispering rumors..."

Zhang Yameng asked Li Hanyuan with a smile: "Sister Qing, how do you respond?" ”

Li Hankite didn't sell Guan Zi either: "Let me ask Brother Qing and see what he means to respond..."

Tucao complained, Miao Miao seemed to be placing chopsticks and bowls, she was worried: "What's the matter today, why hasn't Brother Qing come yet, the soy milk and potstickers will be cold for a while..."

"It's almost, I can't listen to the corners anymore..."

Yan Qing retreated a few meters, then recoiled to the stone road in the small courtyard of the vestibule, and walked to the restaurant casually, humming softly in his mouth: "How hypocritical do you have to laugh to be able to blend into this world."

"Street poet?"

As soon as he entered the door, the three female voices brushed Yan Qing in unison.

“???”

Yan Qing naturally showed a blank expression.

Miao Miao gritted her teeth and scolded, "Don't pretend, IssacYen!" ”

Li Hanyuan waved his mobile phone and smiled coquettishly: "Brother Qing, you are exposed!" ”

Zhang Yameng didn't speak, just looked at Yan Qing and smiled.

"Okay, after the broadcast of "Moonlight Sultry", I knew that I would definitely not be able to hide it from you... It's just that I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon..."

Yan Qing didn't go to perform again and resisted.

Miao Miao gently and considerately inserted the straw for Yan Qing and set up the chopsticks: "Brother Qing'er, come and eat." ”

"Meow, wait..."

Li Hanyuan stretched out his hand to protect the food: "Brother Qing, you have to come for a while before you can eat!" ”

Yan Qing was naturally prepared: "Which one?" ”

Zhang Yameng rushed: "Of course it's "Afterbefamous""

"Then a little bit..."

Mobilizing his voice, Yan Qing imitated the African accent and sang a cappella in a cappella style to perform a verse of "Afterbefamous":

『IsearchforsomethingI'mmissinganddisappearwhenI'mbored

I used to seek solace when I was lonely, and I used to leave when I got bored

Butgirl,whatqualitieswasIlookingforbefore?,

But baby, I've never found the perfect partner like you,

WhoyousettlingforWhobetterforyouthantheboy,hah?

Who would you entrust yourself to? No one knows you better than I do.

"The line skills of top actors can still be used like this..."Zhang Yameng smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, our Brother Qing's accent is really an old voice changer!" Li Hankite announced that he had passed the test.

Miao Miao had already put the potstickers neatly and evenly sprinkled with a thin layer of chili oil before beckoning Yan Qing to sit down.

While eating breakfast, Yan Qing also explained his attitude towards the exposure of his identity to Li Hanyuan and Zhang Yameng: "Don't admit it, don't deny it, don't respond... If there is anything that needs to be cooperated with by Huai Jing, let's cooperate and speak out. ”

"What a coincidence, Sister Jing, oh no, Sister Qing also means the same over there, and..."

Li Hankite suddenly burst out with a huge thunder: "They asked you to contact that Puerto Rican man, you don't have to transfer the copyright income to Sister Jing's account every year, and the money will be directly handed over to our Meow Meow Foundation in the future!" ”

"What did you say, kite?"

Miao Miao, who was lying on the gun inexplicably, was surprised: "Why leave it to me." ”

"Meow meow... Sister Qing said that the money, we receive it regularly at the end of March every year..."

Zhang Yameng, who knew all the income of the studio, quickly reacted: "It turns out that the income of the Kapok Healthy Growth Fund that has been maintained before is the copyright income of the eight songs of Brother Qing and Sister Jing!" ”

"No wonder Brother Qing'er never told me where this money came from..."Miao Miao suddenly realized.

"Sister Jing has never touched this money, and it will be transferred to the foundation account before the holiday."

Li Hanyuan continued to Miao Miao in a soft voice: "It just so happens that the two of us are going on a business trip with Bi Wei..."

"Ah! I knew that the money should be half for one person, but the question was how to contact the Puerto Rican man, I didn't even have a buzzing mobile phone number..."

Yan Qing, who seemed to be calm, was in a mess in his heart, and he could only change the topic: "Don't worry, there is still half a year to go, you have to go on a business trip on National Day, and it's too hard for you..."

On the raw frying and pot stickers, the four of them continued to discuss the arrangements for the National Day holiday, the live broadcast of the program and the preparations of the film company, and the girls arranged them very properly, so that Yan Qing, the shopkeeper, could rest assured that he would focus his work on the follow-up Weng Huaijing independent film project.

After eating, Miao Miao and Zhang Yameng took Li Hanyuan, who had vacated the itinerary, out to go shopping.

And Yan Qing went back to the film room with great self-discipline, pulling the film in the morning and catching up with the script in the afternoon, and he had already arranged his vacation to the full.

"Looking at the plot introduction, this black swan seems to be completely different from the suspenseful lily ballet movie directed by Darren Aronofsky in the previous life..."

Suppressing the expectation in his heart, Yan Qing skillfully manipulated the projector, and as the film disc slowly turned, a subtitle soon appeared on the screen of the pulling room:

——

BLACKSWAN (black swan)
