Chapter 281 Your Voice
Time passed unknowingly during the filming of the song MV. When Tilan relaxed and finished filming, she realized that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.
"Here, eat something."
Odney came over with a small box of cake and put it in Tilan's hand. The bottom layer of the cake was a light yellow embryo, and the top layer was a thick, transparent layer of light green jelly.
It should be a T4-level food. The girl could feel a little bit of extraordinary effect, probably to replenish energy and nutrition.
The two came to the quiet and dark balcony, leaned against the railing, blew the gentle evening breeze, ate the sweet cake, and enjoyed the relaxing moment.
"The scenery here is very nice." Odney chatted with Tilan while scooping out the cake with a small fork.
"Sometimes when I'm tired from work, I just sit here for a while, and it feels good, especially at night."
"Tilan is still in school, right? How is school life? I'm busy with the singing girl and this small company, so I basically don't go to school. I study remotely at home."
"Sometimes I envy my peers who can fully experience school life." As Odney said, she looked up at the neon-lit building in the distance, and the purple and blue light slid across her face.
"I can really make a lot of friends in school." Tilan replied.
"But it's not completely without worries." She then shook her head.
"Some classmates are not easy to get along with, and ordinary children also face the pressure of taking exams or finding jobs. Only a small number of them can really live without worries and relax."
"Audney, before, I shouldn't have been exposed to too many singing girl-related things in junior high school."
"Junior high school? Let me think about it." Odney put the finished cake box aside and held up her chin.
"At that time, my parents taught me to practice sword at home, and I also learned many things passed down from my family. Although I went to school, I didn't interact much with my classmates."
"Everyone also likes to give me nicknames. In fact, the title of 'White Swan' appeared before my talent as a singer was discovered."
"I like to wear white dresses very much, and I also like the feeling of being spotless. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a fairy in mythology. Now I think it's a bit childish."
"Because my ancestor is the descendant of the Honghu lineage, I unconsciously have a good feeling for white, as if it is fate and it should be so."
"Speaking of which, haven't you decided on Tilan's title yet?" She suddenly remembered something.
"I haven't thought about it yet." The girl shook her hair slightly, then wiped the cake residue from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, blinked, and put it down after making sure it was clean.
"If we follow the convention of the title of a diva, it should be related to color or something specific. As for color, I would probably choose blue or black, but as for specific things, I don't have any particular preference."
"Well, actually, Tilan's name, 'Tilan' is the name of a flower, which already contains a certain meaning." Odney analyzed.
"'Black Tilan' and 'Blue Tilan' seem to fit Tilan's temperament very well. The only bad thing is that Tilan's name already has these names, and it feels a bit repetitive to give them such names."
"That's true." The girl and Odney sat on the horizontal chair by the balcony, their eyes wandering between the shuttles and high-rise buildings in the distance.
The girl suddenly remembered that her name was followed by Tilan, and what was followed by her sister's name.
It seemed that her mother had always called her Themisia, and never called her sister any other name, but not herself.
At school and in front of outsiders, her mother usually called her Heshia, but at home, she would call herself Tilan, as if it was more intimate and lovely.
Thoughts flowed in her mind, and the girl became curious again. Logically, if she and her sister were twins, there was no reason for her to have an extra name while her sister did not.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find anyone to ask now. Maybe she should check the files to see if her mother wrote it when she registered her birth.
"I can't think of it. It seems that I can't help Tilan with any ideas." On the other side, Odney thought about it for a while and decided to give up.
"Let's see what Tilan likes. Maybe she will have inspiration later."
The two then talked about the origins of other singers' titles. Some were things they liked, some were nicknames given by others based on the singers' personalities and performances, and so on. These titles are often related to the singers' styles. The
two talked more and more until there were cheers and vibrations coming from downstairs. Even with the excellent sound insulation layer, the two could feel the enthusiasm and surging emotions emanating from the floor not far from their feet.
"It should be a band organizing a performance." Odney explained.
"This is the 'Aglaia District' where many music and entertainment companies gather. I guess that star has reserved the venue tonight and organized a small concert."
"Compared to large concerts with tens of thousands of people, this kind of concert is not so formal. The audience and performers are more relaxed. Occasionally, they will come down to sing and let the audience sing for them. Everyone has fun together."
"It's probably entertainment with people who are familiar with each other. Most of the audience present are colleagues, friends, acquaintances, or friends of friends."
"Do you want to go and see it, Tilan? Anyway, the MV has been shot now, and the next step is their editing and tuning."
Tilan was slightly interested in such an invitation, so she nodded.
The two walked out of the room, said hello to the other people in the company, and went down the elevator to the floor where they heard the shouts and vibrations just now.
From a distance, the two could hear the passionate bass sound coming from the end of the corridor, as well as the accompanying instruments and the shouts of the audience.
"So it's the 'Hammer Band'." Odney saw the sign at the end of the floor and recognized who was in it at once.
"Are they famous?" Tilan felt that she had never heard of them.
"Well, they are quite famous among the older generation in Feiyu Star Region. My dad likes their songs very much. The average age of the members of this band is around 50. They rarely have activities now. I don't want to get together again today. I guess the audience below is also very happy."
"Let's go and take a look." Odney took Tilan's hand and walked towards the hall at the end of the corridor.
Although the lights inside were dim and the colored lights were rotating, the air was not stuffy, and the number of people on the scene was not crowded. It was estimated that they were all temporary.
On the stage, the lead singer was not tall. He was wearing slippers and beach shorts, with one foot on the speaker, and his whole body was bathed in the powerful blower beside the stage.
The violent airflow distorted his voice a little, and the red scarf on his neck was blown up, and the long silk scarf fluttered in the air. The wrinkled forehead opened and closed from time to time with the movement of the chest and mouth, as if every word of the lyrics was roared from the chest, with an inexplicable tension.
On the other side, some of the other members of the band wore suits, some were dressed at home, and some were wearing aprons, as if they had just got off work or rushed from home. They were very casual, and the audience below didn't care about this. Instead, they felt nostalgic and cordial. From time to time, they followed the lead singer to sing a few sections, especially the rhythmic beats, and would stomp their feet and shake the floor.
"The name of the 'Hammer Band' means stomping the ground with your feet. Most of their songs have a strong sense of rhythm."
Odney introduced Tilan, and the two of them also walked into the performance hall, feeling more and more the stubbornness and unyielding spirit in the performance, the state of mind of still shouting and singing even when old, which moved many people present.
Because the indoor environment was dim, the audience in the hall were all looking at the stage, and no one noticed the two singers walking in.
The shadows swayed, sweat soaked their backs and chests, the high-pitched bass, the bass drum that hit again and again, the guitar that kept spinning, and the keyboard that served as the perfect accompaniment, the rotating and high-pitched singing swayed in the colorful lights, as if to bring everyone back to that distant and crazy era, that youthful and willful era.
Even without the talent of the singers, these musicians still moved the audience with their enthusiasm, and this shout and throbbing from life made people jump together.
Time passed, and when the performance ended and everything gradually stopped, everyone gradually realized that an hour had passed.
Perhaps because they had had enough fun, or perhaps because they were no longer physically fit, the band announced to everyone that the band was done for the day, then jumped off the stage and high-fived the audience, then picked up a cold drink to replenish their energy, and rested on the sofa.
The audience and colleagues present had long been accustomed to such familiar and lifelike actions, and everyone responded with a smile, and some sat next to them, talking about the past and the present.
The stage was vacant, and some people came on stage one after another. This is the "Aglaia District", where many people can play music, and many of the audience below are people in related fields, with a high level of professionalism.
A relaxed and pleasant atmosphere enveloped the hall, and from time to time some people came after work, and some people said goodbye and went home after having fun.
As they came and went, the two girls sitting in the corner were finally noticed.
"Audrey, you are here today too." The person who spoke was a woman wearing sunglasses.
After seeing Audrey, she took off her sunglasses and walked over. She had a graceful figure and looked about 30-40 years old, but she was well maintained.
"Aunt Julianna." Odney stood up. This person was an acquaintance of her mother and a well-known agent in the Feather Star Region.
"Oh, who is this?" When she approached, she saw the black-haired girl next to her and was surprised.
"Hello, I'm Heshia, Odney's friend." The girl took the initiative to introduce herself.
"I see..." She looked at Odney, and then at Heshia.
"Odney, you never told me about this friend before. You didn't tell me about such a good child." She said jokingly, and then walked towards the two of them.
"Would you like to drink something? I'll treat you. It's been a long time since I last talked to Odney. How are you doing recently?" She was very busy with her business and didn't have much time to come back here.
"I've recently prepared an album, which includes several songs that I'm very satisfied with." Odney talked about recent events.
After that, the two talked about other things in their lives. During this time, Julianna also asked Heshia about some simple things from time to time, so as not to make the girl feel cold.
"Come to think of it, Heshia is also a very talented child. Have you considered going to the music industry or the entertainment industry?" Experienced hunters often don't show their claws at the first time, and this one is the same. It was not until now that he asked the most crucial question.
"Not yet, because I have school things to do." The girl shook her head slightly.
"Well, this doesn't take up that much time. You just need to participate in some activities on the weekend." Juliana is familiar with such situations.
"For example, participating in a small program on the weekend, or making a guest appearance in a large film and television drama. The work content is very small and there is no need to deliberately prepare."
"You can also learn more about the situation in the professional circle as early as possible. If you develop in this direction in the future, it will undoubtedly be much easier. Even if you don't like it, you can stop early after understanding it, and it won't delay your future studies." As an agent, she knows what young people care about.
"And the income will not be small, and you can easily contact many familiar big stars. Even if you don't develop in this direction in the future, having friends who are popular and know can easily help you develop your career in the future."
"Is that so..." Tilan tilted her head slightly. She was thinking about how to politely refuse the person in front of her.
If it was more than a year ago, she would probably be tempted, because at that time she was indeed confused about the future and was short of money, but now... there are too many important things waiting for her to complete.
Seeing this scene, Odney laughed secretly. This experienced aunt who has always been victorious also suffered losses and defeats.
But it is not her fault. After all, people with the talent of a singing girl are too rare. In her early years, when she had not awakened, this aunt wanted to let her join her company, but she later became a singing girl, so the other party gave up, because the federal government clearly stipulated that no company could sign an employment contract with a singing girl. If there was one before, it would be automatically invalidated after the singing girl's talent awakened and her identity was confirmed.
Such regulations are for protection, to prevent singing girls from becoming pawns of certain companies and forces, and to force them to maintain their independent identities. In addition, the signed commercial cooperation agreement also has many restrictions, and clauses cannot be added at will.
"Actually, Heshia is helping me finish my album recently, and we even sang a song together, so she probably doesn't have time to attend the event that Aunt Juliana mentioned." Finally, Odney came out to help Heshia explain.
"Oh, is that so?" Although Juliana agreed, she was a little skeptical. She knew Odney's identity. This girl who had grown up with her was now one of the famous singers in Feiyu Star Domain. How could she just randomly find someone to perform in her album?
As a group that the federal government pays special attention to and is loved by the whole people, the albums released by singers have always been the highest standards in the industry. Even the miscellaneous staff are experienced professionals with many achievements.
Odney's company may not have many people, but each of them is an industry elite with a deep background, otherwise they would not be able to get in. Behind each singer is a huge power group supporting them. For example, Juliana knows that the well-known giant companies in Feiyu Star Domain, "Fiery Red Lotus", "Meteoric Shield" and "United Silver Star", have all sponsored Odney and designed and produced joint products specifically for this girl. They are not ordinary people.
"In that case..." She wanted to give up, but then a question came from the stage in the hall.
"Is there anyone else going on stage? This is the last show tonight. On such a beautiful night, is there anything you want to express and sing to everyone? Life is not just about the decadence and helplessness in front of you, but also about the unattainable dream that is as precious as waste paper and gold!"
"Come on, you can sing any words. This is the vibration of the steel in your heart, and it is burning like fire to make a loud sound!"
Such childish but sincere words made the whole venue boil, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted.
"I see it! The girl in my dream sitting in the corner, the fairy tale princess in my dream, the snow-white swan princess, Her Highness Odney——" Amid the strange calls, everyone's eyes finally gathered on this corner. "
Ah, really?" Someone was incredible.
"That's Odney, she's sitting here, and I haven't noticed it yet?"
"Why did I see it only now?" Someone regretted and stamped his feet.
Seeing a pair of eyes looking at this side expectantly, Odney couldn't avoid it at this time. She stood up and looked at Heshia beside her.
"It seems like we have to go on stage."
"Want to come together, Tilan?"
Calling her companion's name softly, and then the two of them walked slowly onto the stage hand in hand.
