Top entertainment industry singer Shen Xingzhi rose to overnight fame and remained popular for a decade without scandals. His aloof and indifferent demeanor, coupled with undeniable talent and look...
Chapter 60 No Name
"Like this song?"
There was a probing and subtle light in Shen Xingzhi's eyes. He still stared at Ren Limeng intently, and his tone was so gentle that Ren Limeng felt a little unfamiliar.
It was late at night, and the brain was prone to breakdown after a day of excessive work. Faced with such a scorching gaze, Ren Limeng felt that she was really amazing. She was able to keep her mind steady under the camera and hardly revealed her emotions.
"It's so emotional, I almost cried. Brother Xingzhi, what's the name of this song?"
Ren Limeng praised politely, with a hint of emotion in her tone unconsciously. Shen Xingzhi's guitar singing was really touching. His perfect technique with irresistible deep emotions had already won at the starting line, and his singing could make the emotions even more exciting.
That faint sadness seemed to fill the entire training room, and would gradually brighten as his singing tone changed. Even after the song ended, certain emotions could not be easily removed, and the unique voice still lingered in my heart.
"No name."
"ah?"
No Name???
Is Shen Xingzhi's name so abstract now?
What expression should she make?
Ren Limeng's mind was spinning rapidly, and the smile on her lips paused for a second, but she still tried to maintain a gentle and generous demeanor. Even though she was a host, it took a lot of courage and superhuman wisdom for her to praise such a strange name without being noticeable!
But I just praised the song so much, and it’s my group’s solo performance song. The atmosphere has been set to this point, so it would be impolite to express it, right?
"Hmm... This name sounds like it carries an unnamed regret, an unspoken emotion. But this nameless state is actually a kind of release and relief. The ups and downs of this emotion seem to form a subtle echo with the song title..."
Ren Limeng spoke at a steady pace, seemingly expressing her feelings with great confidence, which is commonly known as telling lies with open eyes. She tried hard to "read and understand" this outrageous song title. The more she spoke, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and she lived up to her score of 130 in the Chinese language in the college entrance examination.
Maybe Shen Xingzhi didn't think so much about her when he named it, but who told her that they were recording now? If necessary, even if Shen Xingzhi coughed lightly, she could interpret it into thousands of meanings and carve out a flower!
The next second, as if sensing Ren Limeng's inner "complaint", Shen Xingzhi actually coughed lightly, his Adam's apple sliding slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Limeng."
"Um?"
Chen Xingzhi interrupted Ren Limeng's story. Ren Limeng was just beginning to get excited about it. She looked at Chen Xingzhi with a confused look in her eyes.
"I mean the song doesn't have a name yet, it's a new song."
"New song?"
Ren Limeng was suddenly filled with surprise. Shen Xingzhi was completely playing with fire!
The solo performance competition depends largely on popularity. The audience's familiarity with the songs sung by the guests can directly determine their voting attitude. Although Chen Xingzhi is famous enough, no one can guarantee unexpected situations. "Shan Hai" is a stage where miracles can be created.
Choosing a new song is too risky. Chen Xingzhi is not a newcomer, so there is no need to take extreme measures. Thinking of this, Ren Limeng's eyes moved slightly. Could it be that... he wants to be as fair as possible?
But we are not children who are entangled in right and wrong. We have too many ups and downs in our minds. In the world of fame and fortune, there are only results.
Therefore, she didn't need to continue to worry about Shen Xingzhi's motives. No matter what Shen Xingzhi was thinking, it had nothing to do with her.
Ren Limeng's facial muscles were tense as she thought quickly in her mind, but apart from the slightly rising tone of her voice, she still maintained a perfect expression. She consciously adjusted her breathing rhythm, slightly opened her lips, and gently pressed the tip of her tongue against the roof of her mouth to prevent the surprise that was about to overflow from her throat.
"Brother Xingzhi, have you thought about it?"
When she spoke again, Ren Limeng's voice had completely returned to calm. With the solemnity of being the leader of a team, she did not say anything to persuade him. Regardless of her status, she should respect and believe in Shen Xingzhi's choice.
"certainly."
Shen Xingzhi smiled slightly, his eyes full of calmness and confidence, he suddenly said, "Li Meng, give it a name."
As if afraid of Ren Limeng misunderstanding, or perhaps trying to hide something, Chen Xingzhi explained, "I just wrote this song this week. I didn't expect it to be used right away, so I didn't have time to come up with a name. Since you're a doctoral student, you must be more knowledgeable than us. It's our team's performance song anyway, so you pick one."
There are obviously many reasons, but they all seem to be just excuses.
Sure enough, Chen Xingzhi is good at hyping up CP!
Ren Limeng stared at Shen Xingzhi's expressionless eyes, secretly admiring him in her heart. She had been busy practicing for the performance these two days, and had wanted to slowly hype up the couple step by step, but she didn't expect that before she made any move, Shen Xingzhi was almost doing something fancy.
Such an efficient work partner is so comfortable to work with! If it weren't for Shen Xingzhi's huge halo, she would have wanted to work with him for a long time!
Ren Limeng's smile deepened, but her tone was very humble. "Brother Xingzhi, I don't know much about music. How about we all listen to it together this morning, and then everyone can suggest a name for you, and you can choose it yourself?"
"But I want you to take it."
Chen Xingzhi suddenly looked at Ren Limeng directly, his deep eyes filled with profound emotions that Ren Limeng could not understand. They were as sharp and determined as a cheetah locking onto its prey, revealing an unquestionable determination to win, as if piercing through everything and shooting straight into Ren Limeng's heart.
At this moment, Ren Limeng's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. She didn't know whether her momentary palpitations were due to Shen Xingzhi's words or the recorded footage. Shen Xingzhi's eyes were too intense for her to ignore, nor could she easily look away.
What on earth is Shen Xingzhi doing!!!
How should she respond? ! ! !
Why is this damn heartbeat causing trouble at this time???
Calm down! Calm down!! You must stay calm!
Ren Limeng, make your identity clear! Don't be fooled by sweet words! It's just a trick of Shen Xingzhi!
"Brother Xingzhi."
Ren Limeng spoke softly, with a bit of confusion and embarrassment in her eyes, and she seemed to be frightened by Shen Xingzhi's words. She was brewing her own words, but didn't know how to start.
"You may have forgotten, Li Meng, that you were the inspiration for the name of my first song. The sun and the moon are within my embrace, even at the tip of a hair."
Shen Xingzhi finally retracted his aggressive and burning gaze. His tone was filled with emotion and reminiscence, as if it was just because Ren Limeng was his old friend. He didn't care at all what information he revealed in his few words. His sincerity made people confused about his attitude.
Ren Limeng couldn't figure out Chen Xingzhi's attitude; she thought he was going crazy! "The End of the Autumn Hair"! Chen Xingzhi linked "The End of the Autumn Hair" to her. She couldn't imagine what would happen when it aired!
Admittedly, she had felt the same confusion and emotion as him back then, and their thoughts had resonated and collided at some point, but it had been so many years! They were just a couple that was hyped up for the show. If he continued to act so recklessly, she would not only have to take back her praise for him, but also unilaterally terminate their cooperation!
Ren Limeng lowered her head slightly. Under the camera, her hair blocked the warning in her eyes when she looked at Shen Xing. When she looked up, she still had a polite smile on her face. "Brother Xingzhi, you must have remembered it wrongly. At that time, our entire club was listening to you sing and helping you brainstorm ideas. You suddenly teased me like this, but you are going to kill me!"
Although she was complaining, Ren Limeng's tone was playful. She pointed at the camera next to her with an aggrieved look on her face, as if she was joking. But Chen Xingzhi knew that Ren Limeng was already furious. If this were in college, she would not have been sitting there quietly. She would have stared at him and shouted "Senior Xingzhi".
"It's getting late, let's practice!"
Ren Limeng was really scared and just wanted to end the battle quickly. Shen Xingzhi could do whatever he wanted, but she had to be careful with her words and actions.
"I have an idea."
Almost at the same time, Shen Xingzhi and Ren Limeng set up their banggu and looked at each other. Shen Xingzhi signaled Ren Limeng to speak first.
"Sister Chi Chi's part, it would be a bit monotonous if the two of us just played together. How about changing it up?"
Ren Limeng's tone was somewhat tentative. When learning banggu, everyone actually learned the whole set of movements, but after dividing it into parts, it was not necessarily the case.
Ren Limeng herself had no problem, but Shen Xingzhi still had to prepare for a solo performance, and other parts of "Song of Heaven and Earth" had also been adjusted. She was worried that Shen Xingzhi would not have the spare energy. "Of course, time is too tight. Maybe I took it for granted. Tomorrow is the live broadcast, and not making mistakes is the first priority."
Ren Limeng had already found a way out for Shen Xingzhi's rejection. It was rare to find a partner as caring as her. Ren Limeng thought about it, and her eyes almost couldn't hide for a moment. If she hadn't been concerned about the camera, she really wanted to kill Shen Xingzhi just now.
"No problem, I also want to adjust the banggu performance."
Xu Chichi's fall was too sudden. While preparing for his extreme solo, Shen Xingzhi used his only time to adjust the team's overall performance. Until now, he and Ren Limeng finally had time to discuss the banggu performance.
Chen Xingzhi looked at Ren Limeng and smiled lightly, saying meaningfully, "I didn't expect that we have such a tacit understanding."
Who has a tacit understanding with you!!!
Ren Limeng was roaring furiously in her heart, but she just blinked. "Of course, Senior Xingzhi, we graduated from the same school. Of course we must hold ourselves to high standards and not bring shame to our alma mater!"
No matter how fierce Shen Xingzhi's attack was, she had her own shield.
"I've consulted with my teacher. Banggu is actually used as a symbol of love and affection, and there's a tradition of men and women playing it together. However, it's a little different from regular drums."
Ren Limeng looked at Shen Xingzhi with a smile, a sly glint in her eyes, "Usually, men beat the drums and women dance. So I want you to be responsible for this performance, and I will add a dance segment on the side to interact with you. The choreography doesn't need to change, but I need Brother Xingzhi to drum the whole thing. Brother Xingzhi, what do you think?"
