Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.
The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.
Reborn, he vowed ...
Yin Chengjue felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw the guy who had just been exuding charm on the stage.
However, before Yin Chengjue could say anything, he felt everything go black as a pair of slender hands covered his eyes.
Yin Chengjue: "..." I saw you...
However, his wife liked to play guessing games, and Yin Chengjue didn't mind playing along. "She's my Xiaoyu."
"Hehe, you guessed right~ There's a reward!" Immediately afterward, Yin Chengjue saw the hand covering his eyes move away, and a light-colored lip came up and pressed against the tip of his nose with a soft, warm "pop".
Yin Chengjue subconsciously put his arm around the other's waist and pulled him closer to himself to make it easier for him to move.
"Brother, have you been waiting here for a long time?" Rong Yu leaned into Yin Chengjue's arms.
"I just came out and ran into Mr. Xi. We chatted about the new drama." Yin Chengjue couldn't help but pinch Rong Yu's waist, his voice gentle.
Rong Yu was taken aback and looked at the man in the hoodie: "Mr. Xi?"
"Hi! Hello, Mr. Rong." The man slightly raised his head, revealing a pair of smiling, crinkled eyes, and said meaningfully, "So fierce~"
Rong Yu: "Ahem! What are you doing here, Mr. Xi?"
Fortunately, Xi Bei didn't mind Rong Yu's extremely possessive look just now, and gestured with his chin towards the recording venue: "I'm here on business and waiting for him to get off work. Mr. Rong, you don't need to be too nervous."
Yin Chengjue was somewhat puzzled: "Why is Xiaoyu so nervous?"
"It's nothing!" Rong Yu quickly said, "Have you finished your business? I'm hungry."
Yin Chengjue's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, vaguely sensing that something had just happened, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
However, since his wife said she was hungry, he should feed her first.
【Starry Night】is only broadcast after all episodes have been recorded, so all participants have signed confidentiality agreements. Anyone who violates the rules and leaks content is considered to have breached the agreement, and the program has the right to appeal. If any member of a boy group is among those who violate the agreement, then the entire boy group's scenes will be cut.
After the preliminary round, the 【Starry Journey】 allowed the boy groups that entered the semi-finals to draw the topic for the semi-finals and gave them a week to prepare. The topic drawn by the GCD boy group was ancient style, and the song they chose was the ancient style song "Ce Guan Hai".
As luck would have it, this song, "Ce Guan Hai," is the theme song for the popular summer and winter drama "Lin Tian Jue"!
It is a song that can be said to be a household name, and everyone can hum a few lines of it. The melody is magnificent and grand, and the momentum is powerful, singing out the scene of a dynasty at its peak.
In addition, this piece of music is often included in videos that describe the magnificence of mountains and rivers and tell about the rapid development of the times. People have seen and heard it so often that they can't help but feel excited when they hear this music, which has almost become a conditioned reflex.
However, it is precisely because this song is so catchy and popular that the members of the GCD boy band who drew it are in a dilemma.
The original song was so brilliant, with a strong and dazzling style and melody, that all the adaptations were like adding fuel to the fire. Instead of making people feel refreshed, they gave the feeling of ruining a pot of nourishing soup.
But if they don't change it, how are they supposed to sing and dance in time with the beat?
I don't know what [Starry Journey] was thinking. There are tons of other songs that could be adapted, why did they have to choose this one to include in the options?
The GCD boy band was in a gloomy mood. The show gave them seven days to prepare new works, but two days passed in the blink of an eye, and they still couldn't come to a good conclusion.
Yin Chengjue put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher and came out of the kitchen, where he saw Rong Yu stretching her legs on the yoga mat.
With earphones hanging in his ears, Yin Chengjue knew what music was playing even without listening.
These past few days, Rong Yu has been listening to "Strategy of Observing the Sea" so many times that she's practically worn out.
Yin Chengjue squatted down next to Rong Yu, reached out and took off one of Rong Yu's earphones, "Still can't think of how to change it?"
Rong Yu sighed and nodded, her legs naturally hooking around Yin Chengjue's waist. She tilted her head back and bent over, saying, "The original version of this song is too powerful. No matter how we change it, it doesn't have the same flavor as the original. But it's not appropriate to dance to the original version directly. It's difficult."
Rong Yu immediately began stretching in this position.
Perhaps in Rong Yu's eyes, he was earnestly performing preparatory movements for the dance, but in Yin Chengjue's eyes, this guy was simply using his long legs to hook around his waist and then twisting and turning in front of him...
Rong Yu: "...Brother, what do you think?"
Yin Chengjue didn't hear what Rong Yu said; he just watched Rong Yu twisting her waist on the yoga mat.
Rong Yu, still wearing one earphone and listening to music, didn't notice Yin Chengjue's eyes gradually darkening. She continued in a probing tone, "Brother, you know, since this song is within this scope, adapting it to another style would easily result in something incongruous. Shouldn't we try a different approach, adding some other elements to enhance the song's momentum?"
Yin Chengjue: "For example?" His voice was low.
Rong Yu: "For example, if we make the choreography more grand and magnificent, we can use bright red, bright yellow and bright purple as the main colors. How can we make it so grand? The style of the song itself is there. If we just change the style, it will be easy to make it incongruous. It is better to add fuel to the fire of the original style and make it sound more powerful!"
Rong Yu thought about it and it made more and more sense, and she became excited: "Yeah! How come I didn't think of that before! I'll go tell them right now... Hey! Brother!"
Rong Yu pulled her legs back and was about to reach for her phone on the sofa when Yin Chengjue grabbed one of her ankles and pulled her into his arms.
"You think you can just run away after flirting with me? Hmm?" Yin Chengjue pressed down on him, pinning him to the yoga mat.
Rong Yu had just finished stretching and his body was very flexible. Even when Yin Chengjue grabbed his ankle and pressed it against his head, Rong Yu didn't feel any pain. He just reached out and gently pushed Yin Chengjue away: "Brother, I need to finalize the plan with them today, otherwise we won't have enough time."
Yin Chengjue didn't let him off the hook. He flicked his fingertips and gently tickled the soles of his feet a few times: "Didn't you say you wanted to add some new element? Have you already thought of it?"
Rong Yu was ticklish, and when her soles were tickled, she couldn't help but squirm and try to push Yin Chengjue away. But being tickled, all her strength was gone, and she couldn't push him away at all. She could only laugh and say, "No, no! Not yet, hahaha, I was just about to discuss it with them... Brother, please spare me, stop tickling me... hahaha..."
Yin Chengjue: "Bright red, bright yellow, and bright purple—if you want to make it more festive, wouldn't it be more direct to beat drums and gongs?"
Yin Chengjue grabbed Rong Yu's foot, flipped him over so his back was to him, and slapped Rong Yu's semi-circular buttocks with his large hand! He said, "You should wear those bright white clothes, bright yellow leggings, a red belt around your waist, and a red ribbon tied around your forehead. Hold sticks in both hands and beat a drum there, like this..." Yin Chengjue said, slapping Rong Yu's hand again.
With a "snap".
It doesn't hurt, it just makes a very crisp sound!
Rong Yu blushed deeply and said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Brother!"
Yin Chengjue: "Yes, I am."
Yin Chengjue's quick agreement left Rong Yu speechless for a moment, only able to say, "Why are you like this..."
Yin Chengjue raised an eyebrow, leaned down and gently pressed against Rong Yu's back, breathing into Rong Yu's ear: "What about me?"
Rong Yu silently covered her face: "You, you've fouled!"
Yin Chengjue feigned innocence: "How did I commit a foul?"
Rong Yu snorted, "Your face is cheating! Your movements are cheating too!"
Looking at Rong Yu's bright red ears, Yin Chengjue couldn't help but reach out and pinch them. "I was clearly telling you the plan. Didn't you want to discuss this with others? I've seen how worried you've been these past few days, so I'm giving you some small suggestions. What do you think of my suggestions?"
Rong Yu: "Not good! With such a short time, where would we find the time to learn to play the drums?"
Yin Chengjue smiled slightly: "You can't play the drums?"
Rong Yu said helplessly, "Why would I learn that for no reason?"
Yin Chengjue: "Then I can teach you."
Rong Yu was surprised: "You can play the drums? Why are you learning that?"
Rong Yu turned her head and met Yin Chengjue's teasing gaze. She instantly realized that the drumming Yin Chengjue was referring to was not the drumming she was looking for, and immediately refused, "No! I don't want to learn now!"
Yin Chengjue: "No, you want to."
After saying that, Yin Chengjue held down Rong Yu, who was trying to escape, and slapped Rong Yu's butt with his free hand again, saying, "Listen, this drum skin is really loud."
Over the next few hours, Yin Chengjue used all his skills, personally and conscientiously teaching Rong Yu a hundred ways to play the drums.
Rong Yu was initially reluctant, but under Yin Chengjue's humble guidance, she patiently and earnestly began to learn from him.
Drumming sounds simple, like all you need is a drum and a drumstick, but it's not. You get different sounds by striking the drum from different angles, with different force, and hitting different places. Only by combining multiple sounds can you get a rhythmic drumbeat.
And so, that night, the sound of drums resounded.
The next day, after Rong Yu woke up, she immediately sent the message that she hadn't been able to send the night before to the GCD boy band's WeChat group, suggesting that they could play drums on stage during the rematch to create a grand atmosphere in conjunction with the song, which should have an unexpected effect.
The suggestion was immediately approved by everyone. However, in the following period, they would need to find someone to teach them to practice drumming. Even if they didn't play well, they had to develop that kind of spirit first.
