Chapter 4: Chihiro

The first time Xia Yidong saw He Qianlan three years ago, it was a completely different situation from his encounter with Qiusheng five years ago, but the first encounter produced the same feelings in his heart. That's right, it's a sentiment called admiration, which grows through the gravel that has been silent for a long time.

"The World...... The style of Qianlan's new song...... asked her to switch from lyricism to rock and roll, and the company really worked the change. Xia Yidong flipped through He Qianlan's new album "Ambiguous", looking down at the lyrics of the title song, the cover was a rock goblin, leather pants and a gold-colored tight top, metal copper lock stud earrings and a snap necklace that was thrown away. The album has sold more than 100,000 copies just three days after its release, which seems to be a good start.

He Qianlan debuted two years ago, and the S brokerage company she signed at the beginning, although she debuted later than Xia Yidong, she was his predecessor in the company. The business ability of S brokerage company is more than two grades stronger than the one signed by Xia Yidong before, and when he transferred a week ago, the person in charge was still hesitating. happened to meet He Qianlan in the company to handle the finishing work of the new album, and that was also the first time Xia Yidong met Qianlan herself.

She looks even smaller and more delicate than in the photo, with an apple face, pink lips full and sexy, deep eye sockets like Europeans, and the contours of her eyebrows and eyes that extend to the temples but are very powerful. Xia Yidong was standing about two meters away from her at that time, Qianlan was dressed in casual clothes and canvas shoes, half a head shorter than him. She knew Xia Yidong and had heard a few of his songs before.

"We don't have a singer-songwriter like you in our company, but based on your previous record results, you need to reposition yourself to the next level. Your previous songs were a little soft, not fast enough, not explosive enough. To put it bluntly, the vicissitudes of life are not enough vicissitudes, and gentleness lacks gentleness...... "The person in charge is full of thorns, just want to mention two more points in the division of the signed contract, and Xia Yidong is also weighing the depth of the benefits.

Qianlan came over: "Ah Sir, I said you, poisonous spider, your mouth is poisonous!" Tititi, the demo of my new album's title track hurry up and listen to it, and I'll record it when it's set for the last time! After He Qianlan finished speaking, she slapped Sir a few times, turned around and threw a meaningful look at Xia Yidong, and with her urging, Sir signed Xia Yidong with a pen.

It's not that He Qianlan has a big name in S Company, sometimes it takes a small accident to break the scale. A Sir is the company's top agent, and Qianlan, who has been in S company for two years, naturally understands his temperament. The first time she saw He Qianlan, she gave him a great favor, and Xia Yidong remembered it in her heart.

"Qiusheng, which one do you think is the best in her new album?"

"Huh? Who is it? "Qiusheng has just finished writing the schedule memo for next week, and it is already two o'clock in the morning, and he is a little sleepy at the moment. Rubbing his eyes and looking at Xia Yidong, he was just in the right mood.

Sure enough, it's a night owl, Qiusheng reacted that he was talking about Qianlan's album.

"I don't really like rock 'n' roll songs...... If you don't understand it, you won't evaluate it!

"What's your relationship with Qianlan's assistant? She probably has been busy flying around promoting the new album in the past few months, right? ”

"I joined the company later than you, what does it matter......" Qiusheng muttered in his heart, if it really has anything to do with it, it is only related to the night owl in front of him.

"Why don't you ask her assistant tomorrow, so that if there is a schedule in the same city, I can also help her publicize it." Xia Yidong remembered Qianlan's first favor, thinking about finding an opportunity to repay.

"If I'm not mistaken, Qianlan is more popular than you, right? Ahaha, do you help her promote or do she help you publicize, or do you want to pull some lace scandals? ”

"I ......" Qiusheng's basin of cold water was poured thoroughly, and Xia Yidong suddenly felt that his qualifications were still shallow, and he had to be in the same frame as He Qianlan and others would not dislike it.

"Alright! We are journalists, we are always more realistic and sober than you are singers, I'll go back! Qiusheng packed up and prepared to get off work, in order to cooperate with Xia Yidong, she even had to work jet lag, it was only a week's work, and she was about to become a night cat.

"Reality...... For singers, making good music is the most realistic, what is the reality of journalists? ”

Qiusheng stepped on his shoulder bag, straightened his trouser legs, and left the office. Before leaving, she told Xia Yidong that the reality of reporters is to do their best to understand the truth, and always pretend to be justice, the people, and the main right and wrong, and preferably the original intention.

Qiusheng's answer made Xia Yidong a little admired, it seems that the reporter is different from the paparazzi.

After Qiusheng left, Xia Yidong sat alone in the office and felt a little cold, and he opened Weibo to see that it was all unread messages. From his debut to the present, several fans have left him messages on Weibo every day, and occasionally he will open their space to see the lives of fans. He didn't reply to a message today, for some reason, what Qiusheng said tonight made Xia Yidong feel unspeakably sad. He wants to help Qianlan so simply, but in the eyes of others, maybe it is to pull the scandal to get out of the position, or rather, Xia Yidong is secretly looking down on his incompetence tonight, and he feels inferior because he can't get close to Qianlan.

Xia Yidong looked at the avatars of those fans and laughed at himself lightly: "You can also look at me, treat me as a male god and a baby." After closing Weibo, he began to play the keyboard, which is another song to be completed. For those who love him, countless days at three o'clock in the morning, Xia Yidong has been insisting on creating.

If for journalists, the truth is the only thing, then for singers, dreams are the most precious. Putting limited youth into endless dreams is often pale, funny, and meaningless, right? But Xia Yidong had to pick up these pale, funny, and senseless ones, put them into his ballads, and sing them to those who still have endless dreams.

If singers also have original intentions, this is the original intention of summer and winter. Because he is a person who has experienced too many vicissitudes, he stayed in his hometown since he was a child and couldn't see his parents twice a year. The guitar was self-taught, and it was only after entering the industry that he had the conditions to learn piano. Along the way, it relied on luck and talent, but Xia Yidong thought that there was still the seed in his heart that had not yet bloomed. Because it didn't bloom, it still sang all kinds of helplessness in life.

Xia Yidong played and wrote, and accidentally began to think about Qianlan again, the melody of her title song, and the lyrics of her new album...... By the time he finished writing the song, a white glow of fish belly had already appeared in the sky. Xia Yidong was content to wear headphones, listen to the whole demo, and gradually fell asleep......

Before falling asleep, he also thought of a name for this freshly baked song, which was called "Chihiro".
