Xiao Ning opened his eyes, looked at the young man who was smiling at him beside him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Senior Brother Qian." ”

The long-haired young man with an artistic style in gorgeous performance costumes is named Qian Zhen, who graduated from the same conservatory as Xiao Ning, and is two years older than him.

Xiao Ning and the other party had some intersections when they were studying in the past, but after the other party graduated, he became the most potential rookie singer under Hummingbird Entertainment, and the two had almost no contact.

Later, when Xiao Ning graduated, Qian Zhen, who debuted for two years, was already famous, and he could be regarded as a traffic singer who often had singles rushing to the charts.

Coincidentally, this time Qian Zhen also participated in the program "Strength Creator", and he is also the singer who believes that the company believes that it is the most likely to win the championship among its own artists.

At this time, Qian Zhen was already sitting on the sofa next to Xiao Ning, and several assistants pinched his shoulders and poured water for him.

"What, I saw that you seemed to have done something abnormal earlier today, and I thought that you would not only give up this opportunity to go on stage, but also that you couldn't even think about it, but I was worried that it would be bad, and I was going to come over from the set to see you, are you okay?"

Xiao Ning shook his head and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Qian Zhen smiled lightly: "I think about it, Senior Brother Xiao not only sings well, but also is quite clever, I thought so when I was still in school, according to my ideas......"

"Your play today should be a rather peculiar hype? The video seems to have more than 200,000 views now. ”

Xiao Ning didn't answer, still maintaining a shallow smile on his face.

Qian Zhen didn't react to this, and continued to smile: "I heard from the assistant that you also temporarily changed the repertoire of the competition?" Is this a song you wrote yourself? ”

"Senior brother is only two years older than Ling, and we played on the basketball court together back then, why have we never heard that you can write songs?"

"What song did you write? Hmph, one for my brother? ”

When Qian Zhen was about to continue, a person ran in outside the door of the lounge, and it was the staff member who was in the recording studio with Xiao Ning and Liu Weiwei before.

"Teacher Xiao, is Teacher Xiao here?"

After catching a glimpse of Xiao Ning on the sofa, the staff walked over quickly and handed him a piece of paper with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, you see if there is any problem with this lyrics, and you will put it on the teleprompter later." ”

"If there is no problem, since you are the first in line today, and there are still twenty minutes before the start, you can go backstage with me in advance to prepare for the show."

Xiao Ning took the paper and glanced at it, and then returned it to the other party: "No problem." ”

"What's that, Senior Brother Qian, I'll go to the waiting venue first, as for what song I'm singing, you'll know later." After politely saying goodbye to Qian Zhen, Xiao Ning followed the staff out of the lounge and walked towards the TV stage.

After the two left, Qian Zhen's expression did not change, and he still had a calm smile on his face.

In fact, the words he asked Xiao Ning just now were not too subjective and malicious.

He and Xiao Ning are in a different situation after graduation, and their status is completely different, and their mentality is completely different.

As he said, he may have regarded Xiao Ning as a friend when he was studying and playing basketball in the past, but now he, like Xiao Ning, is a small and transparent eighteen-line man, and he is no longer in his eyes at all.

It's just that I happened to meet Xiao Ning here, and I was a little curious about Xiao Ning pulling the outer wall from the assistant before, so I just asked casually.

He didn't care why Xiao Ning hyped up in such a clumsy way, and he didn't care why he suddenly changed the song.

After all, the other party was just temporarily pulled by the company to make up a round of tours, and it had nothing to do with him.

The only thing that surprised Qian Zhen a little was the staff who came in just now and called Xiao Ning "Teacher Xiao".

He also knew that person, and when he was recording a show on the TV station before, he was also responsible for things like auditions.

"It stands to reason that this guy, as an editor of the TV station, is also an old employee, what star hasn't he seen? Why is it so good to have such a transparent attitude towards Xiao Ning? ”

Qian Zhen's doubts were quickly dispelled by himself.

"Maybe people are originally good people?"

"But then again, Xiao Ning, this kid also graduated from the same school as me, and now he is so down, if I, who is a senior brother, don't pull him, I'm afraid that the outside world will spread some gossip in the future."

Thinking of these in his heart, Qian Zhen pondered in his heart while closing his eyes and recuperating.

More than ten minutes later, the two hosts of the "Strength Creator" program have appeared on the big screen in the lounge.

At this time, some of the players in the lounge who were in the front order had also been invited to the backstage by the program team to wait.

Seeing that the show was about to officially start, Qian Zhen slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the big screen in the lounge, and then casually said to an assistant beside him: "Xiao Wang, has the number of backing singers for next month's concert not been finalized?" ”

Assistant Xiao Wang replied while pinching Qian Zhen's arm: "Brother Zhen, it's not completely sure yet." ”

"Later, you can call Liu Weiwei and tell her that I can let Xiao Ning go to the concert to show her face as a backing singer."

When the assistant Xiao Wang heard this, he nodded again and again and patted his ass and said: "Brother Zhen is still kind-hearted, and he will not forget to reward his juniors when he becomes famous." ”

Qian Zhen slapped Xiao Wang's hand casually, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? Successful? ”

"Far away! Although my new song has entered the top ten of the new song list of the Internet and Yun, I will hold a concert in Jiangcheng next month, and the new album is about to come out......"

His voice grew louder to the point where the entire lounge was intrigued.

"But! Is this considered a success? Yes, I'm a little famous, but looking at the whole circle, there are fewer people than me who are famous? ”

"If you want to talk about success, you have to rely on strength, awards, popularity, and music!"

"There is nothing to do in eight words, what are you talking nonsense about? No matter when, keep a low profile, don't forget the original intention, understand? ”

Assistant Xiao Wang and the others were stunned.

Although everything Qian Zhen said was true, such a clear way of pretending to be coerced, I have to say, it was indeed a bit deliberate, but he seemed to be enjoying the feeling of pretending to be forced like this.

When everyone was still stunned, Qian Zhen spoke again.

"In addition, Xiao Ning is also our Hummingbird's contracted artist, and your little assistant also calls him by his name? What kind of meal? Who do you want to eat? Xiao Ning and I are brothers who graduated from school, do you know? Just help each other! ”

Assistant Xiao Wang was made to a beat by the moody Qian Zhen, and while feeling remorseful for the wrong sycophant, he smiled at Qian Zhen flatteringly: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhen is right, help each other." ”

The interaction between the two attracted most of the attention in the lounge, but Qian Zhen was in the limelight, whether it was other players or staff, they only glanced here, and no one dared to talk about anything here.

At this time, on the big screen in the lounge, Xiao Ning, who was wearing a simple performance costume with a microphone in his hand, had already walked to the center of the stage to introduce the opening remarks before singing.

Soon, the bright lights around the stage dimmed.

A tight cello sounds, and the drum beats are inserted.

Just like several judges who frowned at the same time on the stage, everyone in the stage waiting for the stage and everyone in the lounge, including Qian Zhen, frowned in unison.

Such a prelude to the layer-by-layer change and make the emotional expression more and more thick is not a common means in the Blue Star music circle.

Just when everyone was curious or puzzled, the prelude, which could be regarded as "excited", suddenly stopped, and at the same time that the string drums stopped, the faint piano notes were introduced, and the vocals also sounded along with the scale.

"Both."

"It's brave."

The original "excited" feeling was like being pressed the pause button, and a slowly low voice appeared, but it didn't make people feel any discomfort.

As a singer, Xiao Ning cut in quite naturally, from the feeling of excitement to low and slow, without any sense of abruptness.

Just this sentence has caused many people to have an accident.

One of the judges in front of the stage had already commented in his mind: "It's rare for the intro to cut into the main song, but it's surprisingly catchy." ”

Although Qian Zhen is arrogant, he has to say that his musical strength is still there, even if Xiao Ning only sings the previous point, he has already realized that things are not simple.

"He seems to be singing a kind of ......"

"Something new?"
