Zhang Ziqi arrived at the capital airport on Wednesday afternoon July 10.

CCTV sent someone to pick up the plane, and Tang Lulu, the director of the column group who contacted Taomu, came over in person and sent them to the hotel where they stayed.

Most domestic programs invite stars to the stage, which are generally divided into two forms. One is that each director of the director group invites stars to participate in the show separately through their own connections and abilities. After the stars confirmed that they had a schedule to participate, the directors included the candidates in the selection list, discussed them in the director group, and screened the list and arranged the order of the show under the auspices of the chief director. The second way is to find the hottest and hottest stars at the moment, which stars are more topical and well-known, and the program team will try their best to contact their agents and invite them to the show. This is done to increase the ratings of the program and enhance the effect of the program.

A typical example is that when Happy Camp invites the popular little fresh meat to participate in the show, the ratings will generally burst. The admission ticket at the show site is hard to find, and the TV station is full of boys and girls and countless fans waiting for support, just to see the youth idol.

And if you invite some famous celebrities or ordinary people to go up, the ratings of the show will be much worse, and the on-site ticket price will be even lower.

So don't think that celebrities on shows are all to improve their popularity, TV shows also need stars to maintain their ratings.

However, with the status of CCTV, the second type is rarely adopted. Because before the Hunan Provincial TV station took power, no one could threaten their position at all. Therefore, CCTV has always been more capricious in selecting people, and generally depends on whether the star has positive energy, or has relatively old experience and qualifications, and has a relatively high status in the entertainment industry before being eligible to be on the show.

Therefore, they rarely invite the popular little fresh meat to come to the stage, but they criticize the little fresh meat more often.

Zhang Ziqi's CCTV was an accident.

Generally speaking, the least people who can be on CCTV are popular on the front line. Although Zhang Ziqi is better than second-tier stars, he is barely on the passing line of CCTV, not a big name, unless there is a noble person to lead the way, he basically misses the most popular music program on CCTV. However, she was lucky, and it just so happened that a noble person was willing to help her. This noble person is Tang Lulu, a director of the same song column group of CCTV, and the director of the same song director group usually buys the latest album and looks at the news media to study the candidates for the next episode. Tang Lulu was not in a very good mood that day, and after work, she casually took a few new albums back at a roadside video store.

One of them is Zhang Ziqi's "The First Dream", when this record was first released, the response was not very hot, even if it was heavily invested in advertising, the response was mediocre, because it took time to ferment. In addition, Zhang Ziqi's fame itself is very ordinary, and it took three days to sell 30,000 records.

You must know that New Era, as a rookie band, sells 450,000 a month. And Zhang Ziqi is a quasi-first-line star, 30,000 in three days, and only 300,000 in a month. This result can be said to be very unsatisfactory.

Basically, you can only fill the big head in a newly opened music company like Momoki, and put it in the whole country and even Asia, and it is not even a feather.

For example, Andy's "Forget Love Water" in the 90s sold 800,000 a week, which was in the 90s, and only the treasure island and the port city. When he arrived in the mainland, he broke 1 million in a month, and his popularity was so high that it couldn't be compared. If it were in the millennium, this figure could be even more exaggerated as people's living standards improved.

Although the new era is fueled by the media, coupled with the power of the Internet, it has become famous overnight. But it is undeniable that in the eyes of the public, those popular stars are the mainstream, and only when they release albums and make records can people buy and consume and are willing to pay for idols.

This is just like the online novels of later generations, god-level novels, less than a day after the book is released, the click-through rate and collection can exceed 10,000. And newcomer online writers may write millions of words, but no one cares. If the entertainment industry is measured by the standards of online articles, Zhang Ziqi is a little popular god.

Therefore, when Tang Lulu bought Zhang Ziqi's album, she really bought it because she was in a bad mood and didn't choose it carefully.

It's like winning the lottery, otherwise, according to her usual habits, she will automatically filter out those stars who are not well-known, and then directly choose the albums of popular first-line or superstar-level stars to buy and enjoy them.

.....．

.....．

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Outside the Fourth Ring Road, the elevator of Building 17 of the second phase of Mingcheng Garden stopped on the ninth floor.

906's door creaked open.

"Bang!"

Tang Lulu returned home, with a hint of resentment, and closed the door heavily.

"Toot toot."

At this time, the phone rang suddenly.

She saw the call prompt on her mobile phone, and while changing her shoes, she threw the record she had just bought on the sofa, adjusted her mood, and answered the phone: "Mom." ”

"Uh-huh, it's good, how is your dick?"

"It's okay, I'm unfortunate and miserable at work in Taili, and I can't stand the grievances. See you next time you come home for the holidays. ”

"Object? No rush, there are plenty of good options around. ”

"Go home on a blind date.... I'm busy at work right now.... How can you have time to go on a blind date, let's talk about it next time on vacation. ”

"Okay, I'll hang up first."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Lulu remembered some of the grievances she suffered in Taiwan today, but she didn't dare to tell her family, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. I thought of myself working alone in the capital, working overtime every day, and not even having anyone to talk to, and a feeling of loneliness arose.

This place is not her home.

She lay on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling, and after a long while, she got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window by the balcony, and opened the window. The house where Tang Lulu lives is decorated in a European style, the style is relatively dark, bright yellow and warm colors, and it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening when she arrives home. Outside, the lights are bright and neon, and cars are speeding past the bustling streets. Tang Lulu only turned on one table lamp, and only a small part of the whole room was lit, which was very dark. She clasped her hands on her knees, sat by the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, looked at this big city in confusion, looked at the countless high-rise buildings wrapped in steel and concrete outside, and felt no warmth.

The city is so prosperous, but I am so insignificant.

"Capital, if you don't love me anymore, I won't love you anymore." She shouted out the window, but no one answered her, except for the sound of the wind whistling outside the window, and only the sound of cars passing by on the road outside.

The capital will not fall in love with her, it will not love anyone.

Tang Lulu sat down on the ground in a daze, like a soulless walking corpse. It took a long, long time for her to get up from the cold floor, and she thought to herself: "Wash and sleep, Tang Lulu, no one loves you in this world, you can only love yourself well." I have to go to work tomorrow. ”

I walked to the door of the toilet, turned on the bathroom light, went into the bathroom and began to remove my makeup, and it took 5 minutes to make the delicate face in the mirror a little less beautiful.

I worked overtime day and night, and my skin was much worse than before.

Looking at the haggard face in the mirror, Tang Lulu suddenly felt a little strange. It has been said that everyone grows all the time, both as a child and as an adult. But Tang Lulu would rather not have this kind of change, because she knows that this kind of growth all the time is also bringing pain all the time.

It's like in the movie.

"Is life always so painful? Or is it only when I was a child? ”

"Always."

Compared with myself who did not participate in work a few years ago, I am now wearing a false mask, as false as the moon in the water.

There was a helpless smile on the corner of her mouth, and she remembered that she was ostracized by her colleagues and bosses at work today, and she was blamed and wronged for no reason. After a while, he turned around and walked out of the bathroom, came to the sofa and picked up a CD I bought today and took a look.

"The original dream?"

Tang Lulu laughed at herself: "People live to twenty-seven or eighteen, and their dreams have long been ground down, except for a pile of numb flesh and blood, where did the original dream come from." ”

She wanted to throw the CD on the couch and change it, but when she let go, she hesitated.

Dream.... A distant and unfamiliar word.

I haven't thought about it for years.

Just listen to it.

Anyway, it's not listening to anyone's songs.

Just listen to other people's dreams, have a beautiful dream that others have had, even if it is a little psychological comfort for yourself.

She walked to the door of the bathroom, where there was a small table in the hallway outside the bathroom with a black CD player on it. Tang Lulu has a habit of playing music in the shower. Many people have such a habit, not to mention that Tang Lulu is also the director of music programs.

She inserted the CD into the CD player, clicked on it, and went into the bathroom to undress.

Turn on the shower and hot water comes out.

And the music.

It also sounded at this time.

It was a bustling stream of music, like a speeding train humming along the coastline. Listening to it, it is as if you see the seaside where the train is passing by, with light, plants, and the endless sea.

The splash of water fell.

I tested the water temperature with my hands, and it was a little hot.

No matter how hot it is, it can't withstand the coldness of people's hearts.

"If pride is not coldly photographed by the sea of reality.

How can you understand that you have to work harder.

to go far away.

If the dream has not fallen off the cliff, it will be a thousand shots.

How do you know, persistent people?

Possess invisible wings. ”

Walking under the shower, the hot water soaked Tang Lulu's hair, and the water dripped down the hair. Hearing the singing, her movements involuntarily slowed down..... After hesitating for a moment, he took a little shampoo and gently rubbed it on his head.

This song seems to be a little nice.

"Plant tears in your heart.

Brave flowers will bloom.

Can be in the tired time.

Close your eyes and smell a fragrance.

It's like having a good night's sleep until dawn.

I can hum a song while walking.

With a brisk pace. ”

Her eyes were closed, and her body was enjoying the comfort of the hot water. Thick fog-like water vapor rose in the bathroom, and in my ears, listening to the melodious singing, the movements of my hands unconsciously slowed down and slowed down.

Listening to this music, the whole person seems to let go of the heavy burden and relaxes a lot. You can't help but want to dance with a brisk pace, as if you can fly.

"When you're depressed, you always feel the weight of loneliness.

I long for someone who understands to give some warmth and borrow a shoulder.

Happy along the way.

Our tacit understanding is so long.

Passed through the wind and made a detour.

The heart is still connected as usual. ”

Tang Lulu stopped her hands and stood under the shower blankly. She forgot that she still had shampoo on her head, that she continued to wash her hair, and that she was even taking a shower.

Her whole world is in this music, and she can't extricate herself.

"The original dream was in my hands.

The most wanted place to go.

How can you return halfway?

The initial dream will definitely arrive.

Achieved a true desire.

to be able to count on being past heaven. ”

The moment this climax began, Tang Lulu felt numb from her scalp to the soles of her feet. In the depths of his soul, it was as if he had been slashed by an electric current, and goosebumps all over his body.

Tears also flowed down at this time.

Count in college.

It has been adrift in the capital for ten years.

This decade.

Tired of the body.

Numb the soul.

I have long forgotten my original dream.

Then.

What are your dreams?

Yes.

I want to be a documentary filmmaker and make a great documentary.

Then I went around the world and photographed what I wanted to document.

But now.

Doing repetitive and boring work, doing what others let them do, and walking the path that others have designed for themselves. Wearing a mask and pretending to be what others want them to be, and cater to every hypocritical person with a hypocritical smile.

It's like putting on makeup every morning, from one person to another. That's what everyone wants to see themselves, and that's what others see them.

can be yourself.

Never really lived like yourself.

Like a walking corpse that has lost its soul.

"Tang Lulu."

Tang Lulu said to herself: "Do you remember your dream? ”

"Maybe you forgot."

"But here." She pointed to her heart, "It remembers." ”

"You should fulfill your dream for your heart before it dies."

"Think about what your life means."

"In this way, you will not leave any regrets in your future."

Tang Lulu said.
