Chapter VII: Family
Yang Jiang slept unsteadily.
The dream was a little muddy, and the scenes of the previous life overlapped with the memories of the original owner, so that Yang Jiang, who got up from the bed the next day, had a lot of red bloodshot in his eyes.
After washing, my father had already cooked the meal.
The old mother sat down at the dinner table, glanced at Yang Jiang, and said, "Son, after eating for a while, you take a bath again, clean up and go to meet people." ”
Yang Jiang nodded.
After eating, Yang Jiang went to take a bath, and when he stood in front of the mirror and dried his hair, looking at himself in the mirror, Yang Jiang thought that the plan to lose weight and shape his body was about to be put on the agenda.
After cleaning up, in the mirror, he seems to be a very energetic guy.
Before going out, his mother Jiang Yi patted Yang Jiang on the shoulder and told him not to be stressed, nor to be nervous.
Yang Jiang was not nervous, but when he was comforted by his mother, he became a little nervous, which made Yang Jiang cry and laugh.
"Go ahead, come back early, what do you want to eat in the evening?"
In Jiang Yi's nagging, Yang Tian and Yang Jiang and his son drove away.
In the original plan, after Yang Jiang got married, Yang Tian and his wife would not live with their son and daughter-in-law and return to their hometown to live.
But now that the wedding has been cancelled, the prospective daughter-in-law has run away, and in order to take care of their son, the two have stayed for the time being.
If Yang Jiang can be recognized by Zhang Zelin and participate in "I Am a Big Star", the two of them will stay and continue to take care of their son for a period of time. If Yang Jiang fails to participate in "I Am a Big Star", the two plan to take their son home together.
This new house is not as solid as the old house.
......
......
Springs, downtown.
Yang Tian drove with Yang Jiang, and when he passed by a building along the way, Yang Tian pointed to the building and introduced Yang Jiang: "Son, this is the Hedong Provincial TV Station Building." ”
Yang Jiang followed the direction of Yang Tian's finger and looked at the building.
This area is full of high-rise buildings, and the Hedong Provincial TV station building does not stand out among a group of buildings.
Yang Jiang visually measured that it was about 30 floors high, and there was a big sign on the top floor, with several big characters written on it.
The car continued to drive for a few minutes before we arrived outside a restaurant.
The hotel booked by Zhang Zelin is not far from the TV station.
Yang Tian wore a mask and told the front desk the name of the box, and a waiter led the two to the box on the second floor.
The father and son entered the box, Zhang Zelin had not yet arrived, and sent a message to Yang Tian, on the way here.
Yang Jiang poured two cups of hot water and looked at the box.
The box is not large, there is a round table in the middle, which can seat four to six people, and the four walls are decorated with painted patterns, which looks a little elegant.
Yang Tian took a sip of tea and said to his son to prepare first, and Zhang Zelin would arrive immediately.
In less than ten minutes, footsteps could be heard outside the box.
Immediately after, the box door was opened, and a middle-aged man with sunglasses and a long figure walked in.
Seeing the person coming, Yang Jiang knew that he was Zhang Zelin, the producer of "I Am a Big Star".
Yang Tian stood up and said with a smile: "It's coming very fast." ”
Zhang Zelin laughed, stepped forward, said hello to Yang Tian, and then looked at Yang Jiang.
"Uncle Zhang." Yang Jiang shouted.
Zhang Zelin nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said, "Yang Jiang, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Yang Jiang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Zelin.
After greetings, Zhang Zelin took off his sunglasses and put them on the table.
Yang Tian and Zhang Zelin said a few words, and then went straight to the point.
Zhang Zelin has not been to Yang Tian's house, and in the past few days, the eighth season of "I Am a Big Star" has been preparing for filming, and there are too many things to be busy, so Yang Jiang got married yesterday, and Zhang Zelin did not go. This was the first time he had seen Yang Tian's son, and it was much better than he had imagined.
Zhang Zelin had seen some videos of Yang Jiang taken by other people on Douyin before, and Yang Jiang in the video was immature, jerky, and cringe, but now Yang Jiang, who was standing in front of him, was very calm and decent.
Zhang Zelin thought in his heart, those videos on the Internet were really unbelievable, "Yang Jiang, I am good friends with your father, you don't have to be nervous, you can sing how you want, you call me uncle, then I won't treat you as an outsider, just call you Xiao Yang." ”
Yang Jiang was not very nervous, in his previous life, he developed from nothing to a first-line star, and he had experienced all kinds of scenes, in comparison, this was just a small scene, but Yang Jiang accepted Zhang Zelin's kindness, he nodded with a smile, and said, "I know, Uncle Zhang." ”
Zhang Zelin smiled: "Okay, you prepare for a while, and then sing me a song, and I'll see how your singing skills are." ”
In addition to serving as the producer of "I Am a Big Star", Zhang Zelin is also a well-known musician himself, who has written many songs, but none of them are popular.
Zhang Zelin is also a little puzzled now, some of the rumors he heard about Yang Tian's son before are all tiger fathers and dogs, although he saw Yang Jiang this time, this child's calmness surprised him a little, but he still didn't believe that Yang Jiang could have good singing skills.
You must know that being able to sing and having singing skills are two levels.
People who can sing don't necessarily have singing skills, after all, there are too many people who can sing, and KTV grabs a bunch of them.
But those who have singing skills will definitely sing!
"I Am a Big Star" is a music talent show, and the ratings are relatively high, not comparable to those third-rate small programs, and the requirements for the contestants are also relatively high, and the contestants must have certain singing skills, which is the basic requirement.
Of course, this certain singing skill is not very demanding, and most people can applaud if they can basically sing in KTV, even if it is up to standard.
Yang Jiang didn't support it, although he had made preparations before, but now he still chose to prepare again.
His head lowered slightly, his eyes were slightly empty, and the song he was going to sing to Zhang Zelin today appeared in his mind.
This song is quite famous in China, it is the main theme song, praising the motherland, such a song is generally a test of singing skills.
Yang Jiang also wants to impress Zhang Zelin in one fell swoop through this song, so that Zhang Zelin can recognize his ability to sing, so as to enter the stage of "I Am a Big Star".
As long as he is on the stage, Yang Jiang believes that with those classic songs in his mind, he must be the most beautiful boy on the stage.
Three minutes later, Yang Jiang felt that he was fully prepared, looked up at Zhang Zelin, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'm ready." ”
Zhang Zelin smiled lightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, do you still need accompaniment?" ”
Yang Jiang shook his head, "No need, I'll sing a cappella, what I want to sing is "The Infinite Beauty of the Motherland". ”
Yang Jiang's purpose is not to sing, but to prove his singing skills to Zhang Zelin, and the effect of a cappella is better.
Hearing that Yang Jiang was going to sing "The Infinite Beauty of the Motherland", Zhang Zelin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, and said, "Okay." ”
He also knows that the song "The Infinite Beauty of the Motherland" is a test of singing skills, it is not easy to sing, and it is more difficult to sing a cappella, of course, if the singing skills are good, people can easily listen to it.
Next to him, Yang Tian pinched a handful of sweat for Yang Jiang.
This song is not easy to sing.
Yang Jiang took a light breath, adjusted his state, and began to sing the song "Infinite Beauty of the Motherland".
"Thousands of miles of rivers and rivers are murmuring,"
"The culture of the four seas will be passed on forever,"
"Kyushu relatives work together,"
"Build the motherland and return home,"
“......”
Yang Jiang didn't finish singing them all, but sang two of them selectively, as long as he proved his singing skills to Zhang Zelin.
This song is what Yang Jiang knows from the memory of the original owner, the well-known songs in this world are not songs from the earth, so the loss of the blessing of the title of "original song" makes people pay more attention to their singing skills.
Obviously, Yang Jiang's singing skills have been recognized by Zhang Zelin.
Zhang Zelin's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Yang Jiang with surprise and stunned.
Even if Yang Jiang is not very adaptable because he suddenly changed his body, compared with his previous life, his singing skills have been greatly reduced, but he was a first-line powerful singer in his previous life, even if his singing skills have been greatly discounted, he is far beyond ordinary third-rate singers.
This one really shocked Zhang Zelin.
After Yang Jiang finished singing, Zhang Zelin looked at Yang Jiang, suddenly laughed, and then couldn't help but applaud.
Originally, Zhang Zelin didn't have much confidence in his friend Yang Tian recommending his own son, but he never expected that he would actually harvest a treasure.
As for Yang Jiang's singing skills just now, among the players who stood out from the audition and entered the knockout round, they were all able to rank in the forefront.
"Lao Yang, you're not right." Zhang Zelin looked at Yang Tian and complained a little, "Your son's singing skills are so good, you are still hiding with me, if it weren't for the sudden accident of the show, I'm afraid you still have Xiao Yang." ”
Yang Tian grinned, he was both happy and bitter at Zhang Zelin's complaints, happy that his son's singing skills were so good, the song that his son sang yesterday, although he could hear that there was singing skills, but that song was not like the song "The Infinite Beauty of the Motherland" sung today. Yang Tian's understanding of his son's singing skills has reached a higher level.
The wry smile is that his father is really unqualified, and his son's singing skills are so good, he doesn't know it.
Thick accumulation can thin hair, and quantitative change accumulation is deep enough to cause qualitative change.
It is conceivable that in the past few years, I have always thought that Mu Ne's son must have suffered and worked hard in private to have such singing skills now.
Yang Tian took a deep breath, suppressed the sour emotion in his heart, looked at Zhang Zelin, and said loudly: "Old Zhang, Yang Jiang is okay?" Are you qualified enough to participate in the show? ”
Now, his son behaved well and earned enough face for him, and Yang Tian suddenly had enough confidence.
Zhang Zelin nodded hurriedly and said, "Qualified enough, I'll arrange for Xiao Yang to enter the knockout round when I go back, hahaha." I knew I wouldn't have set the time at noon, but if it was evening, I would have to have a drink with you two. ”
The things he had been worried about in the past few days were finally resolved, and Zhang Zelin also fell into a big stone in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel good.
The waiters brought the food one after another.
The three of them had a good meal.
During this period, Zhang Zelin also exchanged contact information with Yang Jiang.
Zhang Zelin is very optimistic about Yang Jiang, he heard that Zhou Guangquan's girl threw Yang Jiang away at the wedding scene, and muttered in his heart that the girl must be blind, Xiao Yang is so good, he can't even look down on it.
To have a family background.
You must have the ability to sing.
And after some contact, those remarks on the Internet that Yang Jiangmu is timid and timid are all rumors, where is this stupid, this is clearly a little fox who does not leak, just like his father.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zelin glanced at Yang Tian.
Yes, these two people are father and son, they are in the same lineage, and they are very good at disguise.
Outsiders don't know Yang Tian, they all say that Yang Tian is uneducated and a fool, but that is all deceived by Yang Tian on the surface, Yang Tian is not stupid, he is very smart, Zhang Zelin sometimes complains to his daughter-in-law that Yang Tian is an old fox.
Sure enough, there is a father and a son, the old fox and the little fox.
After eating a meal, Zhang Zelin has a high opinion of Yang Jiang, and he is looking forward to his next performance on the stage of "I Am a Big Star".
......
......
After eating, Zhang Zelin went back to work at the TV station, and Yang Tian and Yang Jiang went home.
When I returned home, before I changed my shoes, my mother Jiang Yi began to ask about the situation.
When Yang Tian told her that after her son sang to conquer Zhang Zelin and entered the knockout round of "I Am a Big Star", Jiang Yi's happy face was full of joy.
Holding his son's arm, he praised his son and asked what he wanted to eat at night.
looked at the mother in front of him who cared about himself and was proud of himself; Although he didn't talk much, his father, who was silently paving the way for himself, Yang Jiang suddenly had a sour nose.
In his previous life, even if he won the trophy representing the "Best Actor" and the album sales exceeded that of the king singer, there were no relatives around him who were happy for him, and no relatives cooked his favorite meals for him.
In his previous life, he was withdrawn, rarely had deep friendships with people, his personality became more and more lonely, more and more cold, and even became selfish, he felt that he was already very strong alone and did not need relatives.
But when he really had the love of his relatives around him, he suddenly found that the so-called words of not needing relatives in his previous life were just a comfort to the emptiness of his soul.
He forgot how many years he hadn't cried.
And at this moment, he had the urge to cry.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you can just cook a dish, whatever you do, I love to eat." ”
Listening to her son's words, Jiang Yi was overjoyed, crossed her hands on her waist, and said, "Okay, son, just say this to you, your mother and I will cook tonight." ”
Next to him, the corners of Yang Tian's mouth, who had been silent, twitched slightly.
......
......
After talking to his parents, Yang Jiang went back to the bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, I calmed down a little impetuous.
In his previous life, he often had a thought that life was really boring. Standing on the bridge, he thought about jumping; Standing beside the tracks, he wondered if he should lie down; Standing on the roof of the building, he wondered if this way of dying would be too ugly;
He often thinks about death, because there seems to be nothing in this world that is worthy of his nostalgia and concern.
Maybe it was because he still wanted to become a more dazzling star that kept him from going to the point of no return, but no one knew the loneliness in his heart.
And now, Yang Jiang suddenly feels that life is so beautiful.
He was glad for the first time that the crossing was so good.
Yang Jiang turned his head to look out the window, the dazzling sunlight was so bright, shining directly into the depths of his heart, dispelling the darkness and dissolving the cold.
The beauty of life makes Yang Jiang also full of motivation for life.
He wants to be the pride of his parents, so that his mother will continue to be proud of him and cook celebratory meals for him.
Well, so that I can eat celebratory meals often, I have to cheer myself.
Hehe.
If someone Yang Jiang knew in his previous life saw this scene, it is estimated that his jaw would drop in shock.
The man who was said to not even laugh is laughing so stupidly now.
......
......
In the evening, Yang Jiang ate the food cooked by his mother.
The Coke chicken wings were late in juicing, and the chicken wings were browned.
The shredded potatoes are boiled in water for a while before they are fried, and finally the shredded potatoes become starch lumps.
However, the pickles mixed by my mother are still quite delicious.
Well, it's Daddy's mix.
"Mom, if I go from the knockout round to the semi-finals, will you cook me another dish?" Yang Jiang looked at his mother and said.
And the mother was falling into self-blame at the moment because she messed up the chicken wings and shredded potatoes, and when she heard her son's words, her eyes lit up, "Son, are you still willing to eat the dishes made by your mother?" ”
Yang Jiang smiled lightly and snorted.
The old mother slapped the table, looked at Yang Tian, pointed at Yang Jiang and said, "Look, look, it is the old lady's own son, and he doesn't dislike the food I make is unpalatable." ”
Yang Tian looked at the dark dishes on the table, and then at his son, he really didn't know what his son thought.
The old mother said: "Okay, son, my mother promised you, if you can enter the semi-finals, your mother will cook a table of dishes for you, and tomorrow your mother will learn to cook." ”
Yang Jiang sandwiched a piece of chicken wings, took a bite of the unscorched place, and whispered: "Don't do so much, you will do it often in the future, as long as you don't bother." ”
Jiang Yi didn't hear what her son said clearly, and asked, "Son, what did you say?" ”
Yang Jiang shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
......
......
After eating, Yang Jiang did not go back to the bedroom, but changed his clothes and went downstairs to exercise and run.
The original owner's body is estimated to have not exercised for a long time, and after running for less than three kilometers, he sweats all over his body.
Yang Jiang walked briskly for a while, and then slowly rested and walked.
At the same time, I am also reviewing what happened during the day today in my mind.
Review is a boring thing, but it can make people keep improving.
Yang Jiang can endure this boredom.
However, thinking about Zhang Zelin's reaction after listening to his singing during the day, Yang Jiang couldn't help but smile.
Being recognized by Zhang Zelin is only his first step.
After that, the spacious stage is where he really wants to shine!
What he couldn't do in his previous life, he wants to achieve on the stage of this world!
"I'm a big star" is his starting point in this world, and he wants to take it slowly and surprise everyone!
While taking a walk, I was doing a review in my mind.
After the review, Yang Jiang sat down on a bench by the artificial lake.
Picked up the phone, opened Douyin and looked at it, wanting to learn about the network.
It's just that Yang Jiang turned on Douyin for a while, and he had already swiped two or three videos about his marriage.
"Tut-tut, what a miserable man, the bride's wedding scene escaped, this must be the shadow of Yang Jiang's life, right?"
"Sooner or later, what kind of man is looking for what kind of woman, Yang Jiang is not worthy of Zhou Yue at all."
"Indeed, I have seen the video of Yang Jiang taken by the villagers before, like a fool, I don't understand why Zhou Yue married him, is it really the money of the Yang family?"
"Don't be kidding, Zhou Yue can make money by himself, not much less than Yang Tian's income, will he sell himself for the Yang family's money?"
"It's really miserable and pitiful, but poor people must have something to hate, Yang Jiang is a typical person who can't find his own position, and he doesn't pee and see, can he be worthy of Zhou Yue, who is fair-skinned and beautiful?"
"What I want to ask is, why did Zhou Yue run away from marriage? What exactly is written on that letter? I guess it may not be a marriage escape, but someone is robbing the marriage. ”
"Obviously, it is a marriage robbery, and Zhou Yue chose another man, Yang Jiang is the one who was abandoned, humbly licking the dog, and not being able to house."
“......”
Yang Jiang turned off his mobile phone expressionlessly, he couldn't stand it anymore.
If family is his driving force, then Zhou Yue's escape from marriage is a bad thing he has to face.
The key is to run away from marriage, and he doesn't have to be tied up by marriage after crossing, but Nima is well known on the Internet, making him the center of public opinion and bearing criticism.
Unconsciously, Yang Jiang's hands clenched into fists.
......
......
Following
Zhang Zelin came with news that Yang Jiang's information had been entered into the database of "I Am a Big Star" and officially became one of the contestants of the show.
