Chapter 55: Thoughts

Lin Shan is quite satisfied with his recent development.

Since Zhou Cheng introduced him to Jiahe Advertising Agency, his announcements have basically not stopped. And at this time, it was in the summer, and there were continuous activities in major shopping malls, parks and playgrounds, and Lin Shan participated in seven performances in more than half a month.

Moreover, Mr. He of Jiahe Advertising also appreciated his performance after all, and the performance fee was also increased from the original 4,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan per performance. And without waiting for Zhou Cheng's urging, he summed it up and hit the account of Xingcheng Culture Company.

"Zhou Cheng settled the performance fee to me, and I earned a total of 24,000 yuan in the past half a month." Zhou Cheng did not delay Lin Shan's money, and when he received the notice from the account accountant, he arranged to send Lin Shan's money to him, and gave him an extra 4,000 yuan to buy a few clothes.

"More than 20,000 yuan?" Fang Qianqian was shocked when she heard this number: "Did Brother Cheng miscalculate?" We can't let Brother Cheng suffer. ”

"Don't worry, he won't suffer." Lin Shan looked at Fang Qianqian with a little dissatisfaction: "I participated in all the performances, and he didn't show up except for the first one." ”

"Brother Cheng should be contacting you for other notices." Fang Qianqian was afraid that Lin Shan and Zhou Cheng would have another quarrel, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "I won't work overtime tonight, I'll cook something delicious for you." ”

"Otherwise, let's go eat outside, haven't you been talking about the Japanese restaurant next to the Agricultural Exhibition Hall several times."

"That house is so expensive, we ......" Fang Qianqian originally wanted to refuse, but then looked at Lin Shan's excited appearance, and didn't want to spoil his interest. The decision to have a big meal with him can be regarded as a celebration.

"Don't worry, I will make more money in the future, and I will definitely let you live a good life......"

It's a good feeling to be able to make money. After having an income, Lin Shan felt that his waist was much straighter in front of his girlfriend Fang Qianqian.

In the dead of night, looking at his girlfriend who was sleeping quietly next to him, Lin Shan felt that it was good like this. Work hard to perform, save money for two years, strive to buy a house of your own in the suburbs of Yanjing, marry Qianqian, have a beautiful daughter, and live a peaceful and happy life.

It's just that whenever such a thought arises, it is suppressed by another unwillingness in his heart.

Lin Shan has shown a certain talent for singing since he was a child, and has always been the top singer in the school's theatrical performances in elementary school, middle school, and high school.

"If this kid learns music from an early age, he will definitely become an excellent singer. Only now, it's a pity ......"

This is Lin Shan's evaluation of his music teacher in high school, which also made him unwilling to choose to apply for the Yenching Conservatory of Music in the college entrance examination, and finally fell off the list unexpectedly. After repeating for a year, I also failed the art exam.

After failing to make the list again, he carried his guitar on his back and began his life in Beipiao. Only here did he know that he could only be regarded as an ordinary member of the group of underground singers in Yanjing.

I was silent for a while, worked as a waiter, and entered an electronics factory. Later, with the encouragement of his girlfriend, he picked up the guitar again. After two years of exploration and study, he was finally able to become a resident singer in a bar, and he also had some fame among these underground singers.

After meeting Zhou Cheng, Lin Shan didn't think that this was his chance, but felt that he could agree to be an artist like him as a rookie agent, which was a great face-saving for his friend.

The defeat of the "National Young Singer Championship", Lin Shan did not think that his own strength was insufficient, but made him think that he was just lacking professional knowledge.

"Super Boy" was his most glorious period, but it still failed in the end. Lin Shan also didn't think it was his own problem, but Zhou Cheng's own strength was insufficient.

Lin Shan doesn't think he is worse than Chen Hao, who has now entered the quarterfinals of "Super Boy". Is it because the other party's agency Maihe Records is a partner of Mango Channel, and the other party's boss is always one of the three judges of "Super Boy".

If your own broker is also ......

Lin Shan just gave up when he had such an idea.

Although Lin Shan thinks that Zhou Cheng's professional ability is not enough, but now Zhou Cheng still treats him as a friend, and when he sang in the bar, Chu Ran and Zhou Cheng once helped him out, and he Lin Shan can't be sorry for his friend.

"Lin Shan, come to Brother Feng tomorrow, I have a new song for you."

Song?

Lin Shan thought about it, and it seemed that he didn't have any new songs for a year. Last time, I finally had a song "Like Water", and it was the ending song for a feature film. Before this feature film was released, he had no right to sing this song to the outside world.

""Trying to Live"?" Lin Shan looked at Zhou Cheng and Feng Chong with some puzzlement.

"Yes, that's the song." Zhou Cheng then said to Lin Shan: "I will help you stop the performance over there in Jiahe Advertising, and give you ten days to practice this song." ”

"Jiahe's show stopped? Why don't you let me know? ”

Just when he had just earned a little money that could give Lin Shan some satisfaction, Zhou Cheng actually stopped his income, which made Lin Shan surprisingly angry. It's just that after experiencing some events, he matured a lot, and he didn't have a seizure on the spot.

Zhou Cheng was also very satisfied with Lin Shan's ability to restrain his anger, in Zhou Cheng's opinion, if a person can't even control his emotions, then the upper limit of this person will not be too high.

"I signed up for "Avenue of Stars" for you, and it was recorded on July 26, leaving you only ten days to practice this song."

Lin Shan was waiting for Zhou Cheng to explain to him, but he didn't expect Zhou Cheng to tell him such good news.

This is "Avenue of Stars", a national singing program regularly broadcast on CCTV Variety Channel. If you can stand out on this show, will you become famous and become a well-known singer in one fell swoop?

""Avenue of Stars" has a total of four parts, and the first song at the beginning is to choose a song that everyone is familiar with and can show your professional skills. I asked Brother Feng to find Mr. Lao Wolf for secondary creation, and adapted the song "You at the Same Table", which will definitely suit you. ”

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Lin Shan looked at Feng Chong, he never thought that Feng Chong would be familiar with the old wolf, and he could also ask the other party to help adapt his famous work.

It's just that Lin Shan didn't expect that this was all due to Zhou Cheng. Moreover, Zhou Cheng asked Feng Chong to train Lin Shan for ten days, and it also cost nearly 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to Zhou Cheng's share from Lin Shan's recent performance, and smashed all of it into him, and also took Wang Yang's favor.

Zhou Cheng didn't explain, but continued to introduce Lin Shan: "The second link is to sing your own work, "Distant Mountains in Summer". You have sung this song on 'Super Boy', and you also have a certain degree of popularity. The third link is 'Hometown Beauty', I am going to let you sing Pu Shu's "White Birch Forest", your hometown is Yanbian, this song is the most suitable. ”

"Isn't there a new song?" Lin Shan is most concerned about the new song, which is also the purpose of his coming here today.

"The new song is this "Live Hard"." Zhou Cheng handed the song to Lin Shan: "This is prepared for the last link 'Beyond Dreams', and it is also your hope to win the championship." I hope you will practice well with Brother Feng during this time, and don't let this opportunity go to waste. ”

Lin Shan never thought that CCTV's "Avenue of Stars" would have an inside story, and Zhou Cheng did not tell him that he had already set a weekly champion for him, but told Lin Shan to calm down and practice singing.

In Zhou Cheng's view, even if he goes through the back door, he must be able to stuff the reason for winning the championship to several judges. After the show was broadcast, countless viewers complained on the Internet that it was not worthy of the name.

Whether it is "You at the Same Table" or "White Birch Forest", although Feng Chong has some adaptations of the song, it is very familiar to Lin Shan and it is very easy to master. It's just that the more troublesome thing for Lin Shan is this new song "Live Hard", this song is different from the folk songs that Lin Shan has been performing, it is a pop song.

"We're all trying to live......"

In Feng Chong's opinion, this song doesn't have much feeling, but he just thinks it's an Internet song. But for Lin Shan, he has a deep experience. He seems to feel that these lyrics are written in his heart, and this is how he has woken up and drunk in the ups and downs, and despite the loss, he still maintains his persistence in his dreams.

"Lin Shan, this is a pop song, not a ballad, if you can't adapt to it, I'll help you adjust the rhythm." Feng Chong saw that Lin Shan was holding the lyrics for a long time and did not make a sound, and took the initiative to guide him.

"Thank you, Brother Feng. I'm just brewing emotions. Lin Shan explained to Feng Chong outside the recording room through the walkie-talkie.

"Okay, this song needs you to be a little further back in your voice so that you can show the vicissitudes of life."

"I see."
