Chapter 102

But the other person kept his head down, which made it difficult for Shen Mingzheng to see clearly. Then, music started.

Su Ning originally had no expectations for this person. He thought that one must have stage presence on stage. Before he even started singing, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. This was just a small bar. If he was on a bigger stage, wouldn't he be even more unable to adapt?

Then the person on the stage started singing.

When the accompaniment started, he heard the music and seemed less nervous. He plucked the guitar in his hand, lowered his head, and sang the first sentence.

Su Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the stage.

Just this one sentence, he thought it was sung very well, especially well.

How can this be just for the sake of numbers? This is better than the lead singer of the band who has had his voice edited. Although there are still some areas that can be adjusted in terms of technique, his voice is natural and very nice.

But just as he was about to continue listening, some people in the audience also thought the voice was good, so they looked over there. If they couldn't see the face, they would think that the boy with such a clear voice must be a good-looking boy, but when they looked up, they felt disappointed.

Not only was the man on the stage ugly, but when he lowered his head and turned his face to the side, he could see a burn scar on his face. It was very obvious, and even with long hair it couldn't be covered, and it was even more obvious under the stage lights.

Although he changed his clothes, they didn't seem to fit him well. They looked funny and even uglier on his overly thin body.

He sang very well, but the contrast was even more obvious in this situation, as if God had given him such a voice for nothing.

Some people in the audience laughed, and some even pointed at him and said something. Some people also made a fuss because he said he was the substitute in the band, but the four people in the band were all good-looking, especially the lead singer, who looked like this, it was simply disgusting.

The audience felt that he was lying, and they were already dissatisfied, and now they were even more angry.

In fact, there are not many people who really come to this place to listen to the music, they just come for the fun. After drinking a little, they become more carefree, laughing and quite unscrupulous, and some people even asked him to leave directly.

Then Su Ning heard that person only sing the beginning, and then he started to get confused, stuttering, and looking at the audience anxiously. He missed a beat at the end, and was already very nervous, so under this situation, he couldn't continue.

The song he sang after that was a mess, with all the beats wrong and he couldn't keep up, so the noise from the audience got even louder, and someone shouted for the band's main singer to sing instead.

Su Ning had been looking over there and saw him holding his guitar, stopping singing, standing there, then bowing his head to apologize to everyone, and then going downstairs in a panic.

After he left, there were still people laughing behind him. Seeing this, Su Ning frowned.

He glanced at Shen Mingzheng, who seemed to be thinking about something and didn't react immediately. After a while, he looked at where the man had gone and asked, "Is he really from that band?"

Su Ning also asked Jiang Chao at this time, and the other party replied that it was indeed true, and his name was Bai Qinghe. Then he asked him: "How do you think the singing is?"

Shen Mingzheng told the truth: "Very good."

He knew that this was the tone that Su Ning was looking for, but Su Ning sighed and said, "What a pity."

He didn't even finish the song.

It's a pity that he has such talent but fails to make good use of it.

Shen Mingzheng was thinking about other things. He had no impression of this name, but he had an impression of the person with burn scars on his face. In his previous life, there was a person in the circle who was a very famous music agent, but his name was not Bai Qinghe. His name was "Lao Ba". I don't know his real name, but everyone in the circle called him that.

That was at least ten years later, when he began to make his mark in the circle. But the scars on his face added to the old ones, making him look even more terrifying, almost disfigured. Lao Ba was frighteningly thin and looked very old. When Shen Mingzheng saw him, he thought he was in his forties or fifties, and looked so haggard that it was a little scary.

This guy has a weird temper, but he is really good at composing music.

His career was full of ups and downs. He started out as a music agent. It is said that he was betrayed several times by the singers he had managed, which led to his ending.

There are too many talented and capable people in this circle, but "Lao Ba" is different. He finally chose to join the Shen family's company, so all those who had offended him disappeared in the circle.

After he joined the Shen family, he became a different person. He was known for having no sense of contract and being able to go back on his word at any time. He was willing to do anything for profit.

But he does have the ability. In his previous life, he was responsible for the soundtrack of "The Story of Rose", which won the Thorn Award for the Shen family. He was also awarded the Best Music Award. Several songs in the movie are indeed very nice.

He is such a person with such a bad reputation, but when he finally won the award, he did not go to accept it. Instead, he suddenly reposted the music of "Living Towards Dying" on social networks. Shen Mingzheng also heard that he had secretly sponsored poor singers who could not make ends meet.

All in all, a weird person.

At that time, Shen Mingzheng was making the movie "Living Towards Death" and had originally asked his subordinates to do the job. However, because they were too busy, he changed his mind with just one sentence, and there were many more setbacks afterwards.

His behavior at that time was very contradictory. Maybe people are always complicated, but Shen Mingzheng never knew that he could sing.

By the time he knew this person, Lao Ba's voice had become very hoarse, as if it had been damaged by smoke, and he could no longer sing.

So at this moment, he looked at the burn scar on the side of his face and felt familiar, but he didn't dare to confirm it completely. The scar on the person he knew was much bigger than this one, so he must have been injured again later, which caused his throat to be damaged.

Su Ning still doesn't know what he is thinking.

He didn't finish listening to the song and felt a little regretful, so he told Jiang Chao to keep the person first.

He did not immediately ask Bai Qinghe to come back and sing again. If he were to go on stage in front of these guests again, he would still not sing well like before. It would be better to wait a while.

This mentality is actually not suitable for being a singer, let alone a star, but his voice is really good. Especially Jiang Chao was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so he told him those songs and arrangements, which were most likely written by Bai Qinghe.

It is still unknown whether it is true or not, which makes Su Ning pay extra attention to him and is willing to give him another chance.

At this time, Bai Qinghe walked down, sat on the steps, and exhaled slowly.

Just know what you can't do well.

He thought silently.

At this time, he heard Jiang Chao was still on the phone, his face was full of sweat, but the band still wanted to see the money before they were willing to come, and they would not listen no matter what he said.

Jiang Chao was just an ordinary worker. Even if the company treated him well, it was impossible for him to pay so much for this matter. Even if it was done, he didn't know whether the bonus he received would be enough to cover half of it.

This is simply a lion's mouth! Yan Shanting

Bai Qinghe looked at the situation, thought about it, then sat down on the steps, sighed, then secretly took the phone and sent a few messages to several members of the band.

Jiang Chao never revealed his identity as a Guangying Entertainment employee. The bosses all came here secretly, so it was impossible for him to say anything carelessly and disrupt the bosses' plans.

But to his surprise, after a while, the band suddenly changed their attitude and hurried back. It was only a few minutes before and after, as if the arrogance just now was an illusion, and they replied to him that they would be there soon, and their tone was much more respectful, even respectful.

Jiang Chao felt very strange, but the situation at the moment did not allow him to think too much. He had to come back and perform quickly so as not to delay his assignment.

In this situation, although Boss Yuan was very angry, he couldn't stop them from performing, so he snorted.

It was obvious that the four members of the band did not come back because of him. After breaking the appointment, they didn't even say a word of apology to the boss. Instead, they looked excited and nervous. The four of them huddled together as if they were going to have some good luck.

Boss Yuan spat, then looked at Bai Qinghe who was sitting on the steps and sighed: "You just..."

Bai Qinghe was still there, with his head down and not saying anything.

He seemed to have gotten used to it.

Not long after, Su Ning watched the band that came over and performed on stage with smiles on their faces, but they did not seem to be concentrating, and everyone's eyes were looking down.

Although he was very enthusiastic and even sang the famous song "Secret", which drew cheers from the audience, Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng seemed a little uninterested after listening to it.

At this moment, Shen Mingzheng, like Su Ning, was thinking about the person in front of him. He also noticed Su Ning's interest in Bai Qinghe, but he felt complicated when he recalled this person.

But at this time, he seemed very strange.

If it was really "Old Ba", was such a person really worthy of being signed to Su Ning's company? He was a little skeptical.

The band on the stage sang three songs in a row and the audience was very excited, but Su Ning was not stupid. He knew at a glance that they did this for a purpose. The news that the agency was coming must have leaked, so they behaved like this.

However, Jiang Chao didn't dare to say anything careless. Who said that?

Now that the performance was over, Su Ning called the four members of the band over, including Bai Qinghe.

This bar has private rooms, so it's quieter. Jiang Chao, sweating profusely, came over soon after. Then, the four men came in. When they saw him, they couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

They knew that someone special was coming today, but they didn't expect it was from Guangying Entertainment. Many people now recognize the face of Mr. Su Ning, and there was also Mr. Shen Mingzheng next to him, so it was even more impossible to make a mistake.

Luckily, they almost missed it.

Su Ning seemed very polite and friendly. He introduced himself and asked them to sit down. Then he asked, "How did you know we were coming here today?"

The band wanted to pretend, and laughed awkwardly a few times, saying that they didn't know. In fact, they were also surprised, but this couldn't fool Su Ning. He restrained his smile a little and said, "Please tell the truth, believe me, lying to me at this time is not a good choice."

The people in the band thought he was angry, so they immediately started to shirk responsibility and told him that it was Bai Qinghe who said that.

"Boss Su, this is none of our business. It's because his agent didn't make the arrangements properly. Our schedules conflicted and that's why this happened!"

"He also told us secretly! Really!"

It seems that if I put the blame on others, I am not at fault at all.

Su Ning frowned and looked at Bai Qinghe, who was originally standing at the back but was pushed to the front.

He was a very honest man, and said frankly: "I saw it backstage, so I guessed it. This Jiang Chao was so persistent, and it didn't seem like he was doing it for himself. I think there must be some big shot down there."

Only if you tell the band this will they come over.

Su Ning and the audience came for the band and wanted to at least meet them once, so he secretly sent the text message.

Bai Qinghe then added: "It doesn't matter even if they are wrong. They were supposed to perform here tonight. No matter what, they have to abide by the contract with Boss Yuan."

He finished this sentence slowly, and his tone was firm at this time. It was also at this time that Shen Mingzheng saw his appearance clearly and confirmed that this was the person in his impression.

Even if new scars appear on top of old ones, a person’s facial features generally won’t change, and this is what is called “old scar”.

Shen Mingzheng was surprised by such an answer.

Many years later, this man was the most uncontractual person in the circle, and many people in the music industry pointed at him and called him a cancer. But now, the young Bai Qinghe is the one who abides by contracts the most, and even abides by them in a somewhat old-fashioned way.

But in this circle, being too rigid can lead to failure, while being too persistent can lead to collapse. With his personality, if he meets the wrong person, he will be betrayed too easily.
