Magic City, the athletics training ground of the Youth Sports School.

"Ready—Start!"

As soon as the words fell, an emaciated teenager suddenly stepped forward, kicked his legs on the ground, and the whole person galloped like a wild horse.

Unlike ordinary athletics training, the teenager has one hurdle after another in front of him.

Each of these hurdles is more than a meter high, and ordinary people will be afraid to move forward when they see it.

However, these challenges are not worth mentioning in front of the teenager.

With a big stride and a high kick, the boy stepped over the railing with grace and strength as if he were dancing a ballet.

"13.56 ......"

A kind middle-aged coach pressed the stopwatch, which is the result of the teenager's hurdle training.

After hearing this result, the young man bit his lip unwillingly, obviously not satisfied with this result.

"Coach again!"

Faced with the teenager's request, the coach frowned and waved his hand to stop the other party.

"Liu Xiang, you've been practicing long enough today, you need to rest well."

"It's okay, I can continue."

Liu Xiang jumped a few times, wanting to prove that he still had plenty of physical strength.

"That's enough, if you keep practicing so hard, you're likely to get hurt."

The coach also understood Liu Xiang's feelings, and comforted him: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it doesn't matter if you lost the last game, as long as you keep training steadily, sooner or later you will win the championship one day."

At the National Athletics Grand Prix a week ago, 16-year-old Liu Xiang did not perform well, finishing fourth in 14.19 seconds.

The young and vigorous Liu Xiang is angry about the loss in this competition, and he has been holding his breath to prove himself.

After the coach left, Liu Xiang secretly stayed in the track and field to train for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened, and he reluctantly left.

Back in the dormitory, Liu Xiang took a shower first, and then lay on the bed listlessly in a daze.

Seeing him like this, the other roommates in the dormitory had long been accustomed to it, and they were doing their own things.

"Wang Qiang, you can play a song and listen to it."

"What song do you want to hear?"

"It's better to rock and roll if you want to be more passionate."

"You're pretty picky, I just bought a new cassette tape and put it on for you to hear."

For today's students, there are simply too few recreational activities in the dormitory.

Playing poker, reading novels, and listening to music are the three most popular entertainment activities among students, and it can be said that they have influenced their entire youth.

"Life is like a big river, sometimes quiet and sometimes crazy."

"Reality is like a shackle that binds me and I can't break free."

"This mysterious life is as sharp as a knife, and it has seriously injured me again and again."

"I know the kind of happiness I want is in that higher sky."

Liu Xiang, who was originally in a daze, suddenly felt a sour nose after hearing these lyrics.

When I was a teenager, I was always sad, and a loss in an important game could make you sad by yourself for a long time.

"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher."

"Dance like a storm, break free from your embrace."

"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher."

"The wings roll up the storm, and the heart howls."

The straightforward, simple and heroic lyrics touched Liu Xiang's heart at once and made him unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, Liu Xiang felt that he was walking in a vast wilderness, with an eagle soaring in the sky overhead, and there was an emotion in his heart that could not be stopped.

"Brother Qiang, what's the name of this song?"

Liu Xiang's sudden voice made Wang Qiang a little surprised.

"Liu Xiang, don't you like to listen to rock 'n' roll?"

"Uh...... The song feels different. ”

Liu Xiang scratched his ears and thought for a while, and said: "I listened to rock and roll in the past, but this song is different, the tone sounds very comfortable, and the lyrics are well written." ”

"yes, I think so too."

Another roommate on the side interjected: "This song is really good, it sounds very passionate, and there is a feeling of blood boiling." ”

"Hehe, the hero sees the same thing."

Wang Qiang raised his head proudly and said: "This song is called "Fly Higher", it was sung by Xu Wei, his album and 0 tapes are now popular, and I finally bought it." ”

"Fly higher? Good name I like! ”

Liu Xiang thought to himself silently - I was too hypocritical before, and failing once is nothing, and standing up again is a real man.

In the future, I want to run faster and fly higher!

…………

Looking back on the whole of April, the hottest event in the entertainment industry was the broadcast of "Huanzhu Gege 2".

On the premise that the first part is on fire, the second part is on fire, and it is red and purple.

The leading actors of "Huanzhu Gege" have officially become top-notch Xiaosheng and Xiaohua, from stickers to basins, they are everywhere.

I have to say that Qiong Yao's TV series is really good at supporting actresses, and as the fourth and fifth female concubines and Qing'er in the play, their actors Liu Shan and Wang Yan immediately became popular actresses.

However, starring in Qiong Yao's drama also comes at a price, because the character image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the actors of "Huanzhu Gege" are basically stereotyped.

Affected by this, the later acting career of these actors became very difficult, and they wanted to get rid of the image shackles of "Huanzhu Gege" all their lives.

In addition to "Huanzhu Gege 2", there is another thing that is also very popular in April, that is, the album "Blue Lotus" released by Xu Wei.

As soon as the album was released, it was widely popular across the country, with more than 600,000 copies sold in the month, and the honorary title of platinum album can be said to be just around the corner.

For Fang Yan, the popularity of the album also proves his creative ability.

The five songs "Blue Lotus", "Free as the Wind", "Once You", "Born Like a Summer Flower", and "Fly Higher" each entered the music pop chart of the month.

It's funny that the most popular song on the album is not the eponymous "Blue Lotus", but the song "Fly Higher".

The lyrics of "Fly Higher" are simple and easy to understand, and have a unique earthy taste, which is especially loved by people in small cities in the third and fourth tiers.

During this period of time, the most widely sung song of the major evening events is "Fly Higher", which makes people's ears annoyed.

With its strong influence, "Fly Higher" directly rushed to the top of the music pop charts.

Music Pop Chart Data for the Month:

1st place - "Fly Higher".

2nd place - "Blue Lotus".

Fifth place - "Born Like a Summer Flower".

Sixth place - "Once You Was".

8th place - "Free as the Wind".

In the top ten positions, the songs written by Fang Yan directly accounted for half, but it was said that half of the Chinese music scene that month.

According to the previous VAM agreement, Fang Yan's bonus this month will be 450,000!

This bonus may seem like a lot at first glance, but it is completely unworthy compared to the album's profits.

Did Fang Yan lose?

On the surface, Fang Yan is indeed a bit of a loss, the songs were written by him, and the singers were made popular by him, but he didn't get much money.

But on the other hand, Fang Yan also earned, he showed his value through this album and made a name for himself in the music industry.

The album "Blue Lotus" is the brick that Fang Yan threw bricks to attract jade.

Next, it depends on what kind of jade this brick attracts.
