Chapter 367: I’m in love with you
“Speaking of which, are you ready for the entry? The second phase is about to start shooting.”
Xiao Zheng placed an order again Two desserts, very likely to bring down the 101 Company.
“Hey, man, a millionaires are trapped here by this little company eating matcha mousse.”
He took a big spoon and put it in his mouth , and then he was so cold that he gasped for breath.
Su Chengyi responded casually:
"A million happy beans?"
"Are you kidding? Back then, Chen Daozai could win 37 million with 20 yuan. I Winning five million with two hundred thousand is not a problem."
Xiao Zheng smiled "haha" and tapped the wall of the cup with a spoon in protest.
"I want to talk to you about business, Sir Su, has the song been written?"
Su Chengyi didn't say anything after hearing this, but just lowered his eyes, as if in deep thought.
Due to his own temperament, when he makes such an expression, he looks very deep, as if there are many indescribable emotions suppressed.
Xiao Zheng was stunned, and for a moment he secretly thought, "It's broken."
Even so-called "genius producers" and "Mr. Li's direct disciples", as long as they create music like this, they will definitely have periods of low inspiration.
Even Mr. Li fell into a creative slump for a long time. According to people familiar with the matter, during that time he often locked himself in his room for the whole day, and would break things from time to time. The voice came out.
The person in front of me has written two hit songs in a short period of time. It must be not only good luck, but also the result of overdraft of inspiration.
In this current situation, there is huge external pressure. Everyone is waiting for his work to save this dead situation, not to mention the psychological pressure on him.
After all, he is just a young man who has just turned eighteen.
When I just turned eighteen, I was still fighting wits with my teachers and parents in order to skip class and go to an Internet cafe to play World of Warcraft.
Unlike Su Chengyi, now he has to face such a difficult situation all of a sudden. It is probably the first time in his life.
Writing songs is difficult in the first place, but now it becomes even more difficult.
Xiao Zheng was a little annoyed for a while, blaming himself for not opening and picking up which pot.
"Really?"
Halfway through his apology, Su Chengyi suddenly raised his eyes again and asked with a serious face:
"Xiao Zheng, you Do you think you should follow the trend and choose a difficult R&B song, or take a risk and choose a folk style that can touch people's hearts? ”
"Uh, before I answer, let me ask first."
Xiao Zheng was a little confused. He scratched his face and then asked suspiciously:
"Are you ready? How many options are there?”
“Yes.”
Su Chengyi nodded casually.
Xiao Zheng wanted to punch himself for a moment.
It’s okay, why are you being pretentious? You’re still sympathetic. You can’t look at the person in front of you with ordinary people’s thinking.
This guy is a living bug, a cheating player on Earth Online.
"The endgame is like this, I can't make a mistake in this move."
Su Chengyi frowned slightly and sounded serious.
Xiao Zheng always felt that he saw a glimmer of coldness in his eyes. He paused and said in a lower tone:
"Maybe we can start with other contestants? However, the confidentiality behind such a program may be even greater. It’s doubly so, the possibility of knowing other players’ song selections in advance is slim.”
Yes, live competitions are extremely variable, and the importance of song selection is self-evident.
When other singers are taking the lyrical route, a passionate song selection will undoubtedly leave the deepest impression on the audience; and when other singers are showing off their skills and soaring high notes, one person A just right little fresh ballad may be more touching.
But they can think of it, and of course other teams can think of it, so before the official recording, confidentiality must be given top priority.
During the free time just now, Su Chengyi re-researched the seven contestants.
Five of them are veteran singers with excellent abilities. Many songs are the favorites of Su Zelang and Yang Liu's generation.
Not only are their singing skills impeccable, but more importantly, they will give the audience a secret - "Memory Killing".
The so-called memory killing is actually when people are at the scene, under the blessing of top-notch lighting and sound, and the atmosphere has been exaggerated to the extreme, the singer sings a song that was extremely familiar to him in his childhood or youth.
At this time, the yellowed memories will slowly unfold like a picture album, and life will play along with the melody like a revolving lantern, which makes people have the urge to cry.
This kind of song may not be people's favorite, but it must be the most missed.
Su Chengyi remembered that in his previous life, he worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning. On a cold and windy late autumn night, he was walking alone in the underground passage carrying his briefcase.
I met a wandering singer at the corner, holding a guitar and singing.
"In the blink of an eye, there have been so many joys and sorrows in the world over the years. I once aspired to be a young man in all directions and envied the geese flying south."
To be honest, Su Chengyi felt like a mummy that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly suddenly It was like seeing the sunshine before death.
For a moment, I just felt like I was looking back at my previous life, which was full of devastation.
Even a person like Su Chengyi, who has no normal human emotions, can be so moved by the scene. It can be seen that this "memory kill" move is extremely lethal. As a new singer with insufficient background, he is naturally unable to parry.
In addition to these five veteran singers, the remaining two newcomers initially appear to be opponents that Chen Jinzhi needs to defeat head-on.
One is Justin, who is known as a musical talent. He returned from studying at Berklee College of Music. He has a variety of music styles, and his best is the dreamy electronic music style.
Yes, it’s the one Xingxing Entertainment spent a lot of money to sign in a high-profile manner.
Miss Chu's signing depends on her mood. Sometimes she may hear a song that she likes, so she will wave her hand and send people to ask if they have any intention to cooperate.
Whether the other party refuses or agrees, she doesn't really care.
However, as soon as the words Xingxing Entertainment came out, few people would choose to refuse.
The other one is Vivian, fair-skinned, beautiful, talented and good-looking, an original singer who just won the Best Newcomer Award.
She is also a fierce newcomer, but compared to Justin, her background is not as strong.
Su Chengyi thought for a long time and felt that none of the people in front of him were easy to deal with.
He tried to describe Chen Jinzhi's resume as objectively as possible.
Iris, a member of the 101 girl group, debuted in the C position on the show with her overwhelming popularity, and currently has two top ten solo singles.
It seems pretty good?
It's just that in a music competition of this level, everyone will subconsciously regard the status of "idol" as a natural disadvantage.
At least, the first impression left on most viewers is not as good as the two newcomers above.
And you can’t see your face, it’s such a waste.
The stage presence and perfect expression management that I have trained as an idol cannot be shown at all.
Everything planned now is even based on the premise that everyone is on the same starting line, but the reality is not.
Others have already had the popularity and audience connection accumulated in the first period, and the audience will subconsciously reject the newcomers who come to "wreak havoc".
Su Chengyi thought, it was really the beginning of hell difficulty.
But when has Chen Jinzhi not been fighting against a headwind?
"Xiao Zheng, do you know the catfish effect?"
"Catfish?"
The expression on Xiao Zheng's face was hard to describe. He felt a little disgusted when he thought of the catfish with two long whiskers.
“In the past, when Norwegian crewmen were transporting sardines, they found that the survival rate of sardines was very low due to the long voyage time and the impact of confined spaces.
So they usually transported them in a Place an extra sardine in the box A catfish that feeds on sardines.
With the presence of the natural enemy catfish, the sardines become nervous, the lifeless fish become lively again, and the mortality rate is reduced. ”
< br>Su Chengyi explains this concept.
"This is why the program team must set up a singer to kick out the show.
No one wants to see a competition program turned into a fun family carnival program. The popularity will speak for itself."
" So, as the first catfish put into the sardine pond, we must let others know what a natural enemy is."
Su Chengyi said slowly.
Xiao Zheng had not yet recovered from the concept, and stared blankly at his action of getting up.
"Let's go, I've thought about the competition track."
After arriving at the recording studio, Su Chengyi handed over the information compiled on his phone to Xiao Zheng.
“In the first episode of the show, the contestants all had the attitude of testing the waters, so they didn’t show their cards, and chose relatively mild and well-known masterpieces.”
Justin successfully ranked second in the safe upper circle. He himself did not seem surprised by this result. He is as confident and flamboyant as his music style.
Vivian is not doing so well. She ranks last in this issue, so in order to avoid being eliminated in the second issue, she will definitely use her big move.
"Oh ho, I know what she wants to sing. Just that one, woo hey~ woo hey~"
Xiao Zheng started singing as he spoke. The sound effects of the recording studio were very good, and the apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait couldn't stop singing. live.
Su Chengyi casually put the earphone next to her on her head.
"Oh, I can't sing her tune. Anyway, this is the song, high pitch."
Xiao Zhenggong made it clear that he coughed while singing, and waved his hands to beg for mercy.
Several other veteran singers lost to junior Justin, so naturally some of them felt disgraced, and they had to catch up this time.
“Yes, yes, when I was watching the show, I felt that everyone was embarrassed in public when they heard that they were ranked third, hahaha.” Xiao Zheng patted his thigh and laughed for a long time, and then sighed again. Said:
“Hey, it would be great if our artists didn’t participate. This group of scheming people on this show, this catchy editing, this turbulent comment section, oh! It would be great to watch it for fun. Ah!”
Su Chengyi laughed, tapped the tip of his pen on the table, and brought the topic back on track.
"I mean, it can be inferred from this that everyone in the next issue should be full of energy, everyone is like a wind-up toy.
It is known that the kicking singer is The last one to appear, then if we choose to relax at the last moment, we will achieve relatively better results."
"Okay, okay, you are right."
Xiao. Zheng agreed. His analysis almost turned a good entertainment program into a mystery program.
The drawings in the sketchbook look like a detective's notebook.
"Having said all that, have you decided which song to choose?"
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded and wrote the title of the song in the blank space of the draft book.
"Mercury"
Xiao Zheng repeatedly smacked it a few times, feeling that it seemed interesting.
"Mercury, Mercury, oh, it's very creative. What about the next one?"
"Write the next one now."
"."
Su Chengyi He laughed, turned the page, and started copying the music score by hand.
This song was called the "emo divine song" and "the voice of every unrequited lover" at the time, expressing the sad thoughts of countless people late at night.
Su Chengyi also likes it, but it is different from the empathy that most people have due to "secret love". He just feels that this song has a floating cosmic romance from the title to the lyrics and melody.
If I have to describe it, it’s like WALL-E in “Wall-E”.
Can't tell clearly, but he thinks Chen Jinzhi should understand.
After the recording of the first version of the song ended, it was already early four in the morning.
Xiao Zheng looked like he was going to faint in the next second. The afternoon coffee had no effect on him.
After sending him back to the hotel first, Chen Jinzhi and Su Chengyi wandered all the way back to her residence.
Only during a short period of time like four in the morning, the Magic City will become quiet.
In late winter, the sky was still dark and on the deserted streets, it was rare for the two of them to walk hand in hand without covering up.
"How do you search for that person who is so far away but unable to get close? How lucky do you have to be to let him realize that you are not alone?"
Chen Jinzhi hummed softly.
During the recording, she always felt that the singing of this section was not good enough, so she repeated it more than a dozen times before finally adopting one version reluctantly.
If Xiao Zheng hadn’t gone into sleepy shock soon, Su Chengyi felt that she might have been able to record it a few more times.
I was born to eat this bowl of rice, it’s so good.
“Eh, I can’t sing well.”
Chen Jinzhi sighed, his tone rarely distressed.
"I can't tell what's wrong with it."
Su Chengyi said with a smile.
He really felt that it was perfect, like a walking CD.
Chen Jinzhi turned his head to look at him and said:
“This is a song about secret love, right?”
Su Chengyi said "hmm", feeling a little guilty.
After all, he didn’t write it himself. He was afraid that Chen Jinzhi would ask him about his creative ideas.
But Chen Jinzhi seemed to notice his discomfort and did not ask such a question. Instead, he said:
“I have never had a crush on anyone, so I can’t understand that feeling. . ”
“Have you ever had a crush?”
Su Chengyi asked back.
“What if?”
Chen Jinzhi was confident.
"Then I."
"I am in love with you."
Chen Jinzhi smiled, his amber eyes reflecting the moonlight beautifully.
"And it's hard to chase you, I work very hard."
Su Chengyi was stunned by what she said, but after thinking about it, it seemed like the same was true.
"That one of yours is not a love affair, it's just for fun, fun, and teasing."
Chen Jinzhi laughed at his accusation and pursed his lips slightly.
"Teacher Su has a very strong opinion."
"It's not bad."
Su Cheng accepted his opinion and turned away.
“Really?”
“Really.”
Su Chengyi felt that Chen Jinzhi's initial approach must have been out of curiosity, and the interest and affection he showed must also have an element of acting.
But Chen Jinzhi actually didn’t think so, but she had no intention of explaining it.
How to explain it? Love at first sight is not very convincing.
But thinking about it this way, she seemed to have a little more understanding of the feelings expressed in "Mercury".
Traveling around is boring, at least I can accompany you.
Return to the apartment.
Although they didn't show it just now, after a busy day, the two of them were actually very tired.
When he was lying on the bed after taking a shower, Su Chengyi always felt like he was going to fall asleep the next second.
After Chen Jinzhi finished blow-drying his hair, he sat next to him.
Su Chengyi felt that the bed beside him was dented. He was too lazy to open his eyes and just subconsciously moved inside.
Cool fingertips gently touched his forehead, and the voice in his ear was filled with laughter.
"Teacher Su, do you still remember what you said you wanted to watch last time?"
What to watch?
What a strange question.
Did he say that?
Su Chengyi was sleepy and a little unable to think.
But the remaining faith still emerged.
He opened his eyes immediately and returned to consciousness.
Chen Jinzhi is putting the headdress on his hand back into the drawer.
“Look at the cat ears!”
This is a cry from the soul.
The sky is getting brighter.
Su Chengyi got out of bed and poured a glass of water, feeling refreshed.
I didn’t sleep, but I felt better than if I had slept.
After adjusting the water temperature to a suitable temperature, Su Chengyi placed it in Chen Jinzhi's hands.
Chen Jinzhi didn't want to talk, closed his eyes and concentrated on drinking water.
The fluffy pink cat ears are so natural on her head. She looks like Catwoman who first took form and came to the world.
Su Chengyi admired it for a while before reaching out and gently helping her take it off.
After obtaining water resources, Chen Jinzhi finally gathered enough strength, gave him a slight look, pushed the water cup away and buried his head under the quilt.
“The hungry ghost in sex.”
this evaluation.
Su Chengyi laughed, stood up again, closed the gap at the corner of the curtain, and hugged her again through the quilt.
When the city was beginning to wake up, Chen Jinzhi's gentle voice came from the quilt.
"Good night."
