Chapter 156: Dust to Dust, Dust to Dust
If Xu Ran was more resistant to debuting as an artist before, then after getting acquainted with Zhou Ziyu, this idea became even more firm.
In the past, Xu Ran only stayed on the surface of the star, but at that time, Xu Ran only felt that it looked very glamorous, and everything under the spotlight was so desirable.
But once there is such a star in the circle, Xu Ran feels that there is no sense of distance, but it is just an ordinary profession, and there is no fundamental difference.
I had only heard about it before, but after getting close to it, Xu Ran clearly realized what it took to pay behind this superficial gorgeousness.
Especially on the peninsula, artists are not tall and tall, nor are they as desirable as Huaguo, and the proportion of harvest and pay is much lower.
Xu Ran didn't say that he couldn't bear this hardship, but he just felt that there was no need for it. Xu Ran doesn't have any long-cherished wish to be a star, even if he has to sweat, he can also have the expected return.
However, what can debut as an artist bring to Xu Ran?
Wealth? Xu Ran doesn't think that being an artist on the peninsula can be as profitable as in China, and many artists with strong business ability here get nothing worth mentioning in comparison. What's more, Xu Ran felt that he had not lacked money since he was a child.
So, what about fame? Xu Ran was not interested, he did not have the vanity to let many people know and like him, and he had never had the ambition to become famous.
Xu Ran himself is also a person who doesn't like to be restrained, so he can't help but follow the company's arrangements and run around, like a marionette, it is obviously difficult for a strong man.
In particular, if you debut and become an artist exposed to the camera, then you must make yourself famous, which is also the common goal of every artist.
However, once he is really so famous, it is obvious that his every move will be followed by fans and the media, and he has to look forward and backward if he wants to do something, and prudence will become the daily tone, and he will be tightly bound by such invisible shackles, Xu Ran feels that he will be breathless.
In addition, Zhou Ziyu is already such a trending artist, and the attention he has received is high enough, if he really becomes a couple with Zhou Ziyu in the future, but he is also a singer, it will be too troublesome.
Although it is too early to think about these now, Xu Ran hopes that such a private thing as falling in love is only exclusive to the two of them, and there is no need for others to care about it.
In addition to its own causes, there is also the result of the remnants of past events.
Sun Chengwan also worked as an artist on the peninsula.
Although Xu Ran wants to stop missing the girl who has gone away all the time, when the thoughts are surging, he still can't help but quietly pay attention to the girl's recent situation.
Sun Chengwan has been debuting for three years and has become the lead singer of the popular girl group SM, a well-known entertainment company on the peninsula, which Xu Ran knows very well.
The fame of the girl group called Red Velvet can be compared to the most powerful girl group on the peninsula today, TWICE.
Xu Ran feels that if he really debuts as a singer, he will inevitably have to deal with other artists at work, whether it is a TV stage, a variety interview or a commercial performance.
So there is no guarantee that Xu Ran will not meet Sun Chengwan as a singer who debuted on the Peninsula at that time, and meet backstage in a certain show after the two have not been in touch for so many years.
Thinking that such a scene might appear, Xu Ran couldn't help but gasp, the embarrassment was unbearable just thinking about it.
Although Xu Ran did want to see Sun Chengwan again, he never wanted it to be in this way.
I was because she was going to be an artist, and I completely broke off the intimate relationship with her, and if I ended up being really fragrant, I would meet again in the same identity as her...
"Isn't this the one who stopped dating me because I wanted to be a singer? Why, now that I'm a singer myself? What about the backlash against debut? ”
Xu Ran was very afraid that he would be treated by Sun Chengwan in such a tone when the time came, although he felt that with Sun Chengwan's kind character, he would never say such embarrassing words, at most, he would only turn around and leave because of his original determination.
But Sun Chengwan didn't say it, Xu Ran couldn't control himself from thinking like this, and even if he was treated as air by Sun Chengwan, it was enough to make Xu Ran uncomfortable.
If you don't meet, you can lie to yourself and say that the two people don't have a chance to meet again, but if they meet, they can't even deceive themselves.
Even if it is so small that she is bumped into by herself, she did not meet Sun Chengwan in reality, but she will know the news of her debut, and there is no difference.
Being a singer, Li Zhien mentioned it to Xu Ran half-jokingly last time, plus getting along with Zhou Ziyu, Xu Ran had actually seriously considered it in private.
I thought about whether becoming an artist would be able to bring the relationship between myself and Zhou Ziyu closer, but in the end, Xu Ran got a completely opposite answer.
So today, when Zhang Shengyuan and Xu Ran mentioned this matter, Xu Ran didn't think much about it, so he gave the answer of refusal.
Zhang Shengyuan was obviously very surprised by Xu Ran's simple refusal, in his opinion, it was a pie in the sky, and Xu Ran refused without thinking, which was really unexpected to him.
In Zhang Shengyuan's opinion, Xu Ran's normal reaction should be an unbelievable surprise at first, followed by a long period of deliberation, and finally a reply with a high probability of agreement after discussing with his family.
Becoming a star is something that many young people dream of, Zhang Shengyuan originally thought that Xu Ran was the same. He took the initiative to propose it, and there was also the most powerful female solo on the peninsula like Li Zhien sitting next to him, and he believed that it would be difficult for Xu Ran to refuse.
"Uh... You don't have to be in such a hurry to give a reply, you can think about it again, and you don't have to make a decision in such a hasty hurry. Zhang Shengyuan emphasized again.
"I really don't need it, thank you Minister Nim for your kindness, I've thought it through." Xu Ran still gave the same answer.
Hearing Xu Ran's clear refusal again, the look of expectation on Li Zhien's little face, who was sitting on the side, was also gone, and he could only hide his disappointment.
Zhang Shengyuan sighed, as if he was sorry for Xu Ran's ignorance: "Maybe you don't know how rare this opportunity is, there are many trainees from the peninsula who have practiced for many years and can't see the dawn of their debut, and in the end, years of hard work have been in vain, and they can only be obscure." ”
Xu Ran shook his head: "Maybe in the eyes of Minister Nim, it is unfortunate that they can't be stars, so I think it's stupid for me to refuse like this." But I'm just sorry that they didn't realize their dreams. Ordinary, in fact, is not inferior. ”
