Chapter 12 The storm starts with our team, so let’s hype up their CP.
"By the way, I bought a crystal ball that can drop star fragments when turned upside down."
Chen Xing threw the garbage into the trash can.
"You brought it here?" Xia Huanming also threw away the garbage and closed the lid of the trash can.
Chen Xing stared at the [Other Trash] next to him and recalled: "I forgot to bring it with me when I went to college, and it was thrown away by my cousin."
Xia Huanming frowned unhappily: "How old is your brother? Why did he throw your things?"
Chen Xing sighed softly: "There's nothing I can do, that's his home."
His home? Xia Huanming noticed this word and Chen Xing's slightly sad tone.
I always feel that I need to comfort Chen Xing at this time.
Xia Huanming was about to reach out and pat his shoulder when he heard Chen Xing muttering in a low voice: "After I found out, I took apart all of his racing wheels and waist buckle handles and brought them back to school. He cried and apologized to me and then compensated me with a new one. Haha, it was so cool."
Xia Huanming: “…”
When Chen Xing finished enjoying himself, he looked up and found Xia Huanming's hand hanging on his shoulder. He blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xia Huanming put his hands away and put them in his trouser pockets. "I was just about to comfort you, but I realized that you didn't need any comfort at all. You felt that you wouldn't let yourself suffer any loss."
Chen Xing shrugged regretfully: "If I had known this would happen, I would have said that I cried secretly."
The two walked to the door. Xia Huanming opened the door and motioned Chen Xing to go in first. Then he asked him, "Why?"
Chen Xing stood in the light of the entrance, smiling happily, with her dimples slightly shrouded in shadow: "Because I want to know how you will comfort me."
Xia Huanming looked Chen Xing up and down without saying a word.
After dealing with dinner and deciding on the time to go to the practice room tomorrow, everyone started to move freely.
Chen Xing was so engrossed in trying out his instrument that when he looked up, he discovered that originally there was only Zheng Peiya in the audience, but now there were also Xue Si Nian and Zhao Xingyu.
Opposite Chen Xing’s instrument area is the rest area.
These three people did not sit on the soft sofas. Instead, they liked to sit on the floor, one of them using a flower-shaped cushion as a cushion, like kindergarten children sitting cross-legged and listening to class.
After listening to Chen Xing's electronic piano solo, several people couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Xiaozhu, you are like a different person when you play music, so elegant!"
Chen Xing enthusiastically invited them to join in: "What do you want to listen to? Just order the songs and I'll play them."
The three of them had not expected such a great gift, and they immediately sat up straight, lowered their heads and began to discuss in whispers, with serious expressions, as if they were discussing some important meeting.
In comparison, Chen Xing was much calmer. He hummed "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and pressed the piano keys with two fingers. He then used the switch key to switch to the guitar and played a simple 5323.
Half a minute later, Zheng Peiya gave a speech: "Can you play "Carousel of Life"? The song from "Howl's Moving Castle", walking in the air, is so romantic."
"I know! Let me transcribe the music score. But the sound quality of this electronic keyboard is not that good, it can't achieve that effect." Chen Xing gave them a heads-up first.
Chen Xing opened his phone and searched for the piano version of the video. He listened to it once, and then began to play it based on his own sense of pitch.
When Chen Xing plays the piano, his posture is upright, he is focused and comfortable. Because he is not tense at all, people who listen to him also feel relaxed.
At first it was melodious, slow and gentle.
As soon as the most important part came out, Zheng Peiya got goosebumps all over her body. How could she not act well? It was exactly the same as the original.
Especially the compactness of the left hand when playing the light and light accents, which immediately reminds me of that plot.
The song is over.
Chen Xing took his hands off the piano keys. The three of them looked at each other, then stood up and walked to Chen Xing to applaud.
"Xiao Zhu, you are amazing. You can play the whole song after listening to it twice!" Zhao Xingyu directly kneaded Chen Xing's face, "Were you the first in your major in college?"
Chen Xing's face was covered by a big hand, and his voice was a little unclear: "No, I am the second in the music production department."
"Second place is also amazing, what is this, super musical sense, right?" Zheng Peiya became excited, her face turned red again, "When I heard this, inspiration came to me instantly."
Xue Si Nian was calmer in comparison, and stated the fact in a weak voice: "But this song may not be broadcast because we don't have the copyright. It's a pity that only the three of us heard it, and the people upstairs didn't hear it either."
Now the photography guys are gone, only a few cameras are left.
"Then let Chen Xing perform his own song."
A familiar and pleasant voice came from the escalator.
The four of them looked over and saw Xia Huanming, who was wearing pajamas, walking towards them.
Although Xia Huanming was dressed casually, his posture was very good. He didn't hunch his back or lean his neck forward. He looked like a dandy young master from an ancient wealthy family who was out for a night tour. Lian Ye spoke slowly and leisurely: "Let the program team buy your copyright, and you can make money."
"Yes, this is a good idea. It can also increase clicks on your song." Zhao Xingyu nodded and lifted Chen Xing's head upwards. There was a clear curve on the Adam's apple of his neck.
Xue Si Nian asked Xia Huan Ming: "Captain, did you hear it too? How was Xiao Zhu's playing? Wasn't it good?"
"I know he's great," Xia Huanming said as he sat on the sofa and looked into Chen Xing's eyes. "I've never denied his talent."
Chen Xing's mouth curled up when he heard this and asked, "Captain, what song do you want to listen to?"
Speaking of Chen Xing's songs, the most famous one is "Zhan Zhao Yuan". He was ready to talk about "Zhan Zhao Yuan". But Xia Huanming said, "I want to listen to "Yi Fei"."
"Yi Fei" is Chen Xing's second most clicked song. It was made when he was a freshman in college and currently has only 110,000 total clicks.
Xia Huanming really knew a lot of his less popular songs.
Chen Xing was touched and asked, "Captain, are you also bored when you are resting?"
Xia Huanming was obviously stunned. His hand, which was about to take the apple, paused in the air: "?"
Chen Xing: "Otherwise why would you listen to my songs?"
Xia Huanming: “…”
Under Xia Huanming's speechless gaze, Chen Xing played "Yi Fei".
The tune of "Yi Fei" has a more Jianghu feel. If there is someone here who can play the recorder, it would be better to cooperate with them.
However, Chen Xing's solo was still good. The three of them added the song to their collection on the spot, exclaiming how could they have missed such a good song.
The camera on the first floor continued filming until nine o'clock, when the photographers came over to shut down the equipment.
Finally, several people left here and returned to their rooms.
Chen Xing thought, Xia Huanming had helped him so many times today, he should also share some of the pressure with the captain!
So as soon as he entered the room, he opened his bag, took out his "Variety Show Notes", and held it to find Xia Huanming who was sitting on the bed reading a book.
The book Xia Huanming was reading was "1984" which he took from the bookshelf on the first floor. Chen Xing took a quick look at the content - it was actually the original English version.
Seeing this, Chen Xing, whose first language is Mandarin and second language is Changsha dialect, began to mutter in his heart: When can I pretend like this? If I pretend like this, I will have it in my whole life.
And there was no camera in the bedroom, which meant that Xia Huanming was not pretending to be cool, he was really watching.
Xia Huanming asked without even looking up: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xing held the notebook and answered quietly, "Something happened."
Xia Huanming then raised his head and glanced at the red book in Chen Xing's arms: "What's this in your hand?"
"My notes record my experience in variety shows," Chen Xing patted the heavy cover of the book. "Captain, didn't they say that the ratings of the practice room are also crucial?"
Every time he participates in a variety show recording, he will take notes to record his thoughts and feelings to prevent himself from not performing well next time. Lu Qing once said that if he had this ambition, he could succeed in anything, but after reading the content, Lu Qing said she wanted to take back what she said.
Chen Xing didn't know why, maybe he felt that what he did was too detailed and was afraid that he would become a variety show star in the future?
"I compared this note with the current situation and came up with a way to increase the ratings." Chen Xing said confidently.
Although Xia Huanming didn't trust the notebook very much, he still agreed because Chen Xing was so determined: "Okay, tell me."
Chen Xing solemnly shook Xia Huanming's hand and said seriously: "After my investigation, most of the people who watch our show are young people, so——"
Xia Huanming: "Well, so?"
Chen Xing: "So our team can hype up CP."
Xia Huanming: “?”
"Our whole team is having a great time, and the ratings are soaring. Hey! Take this—"
Before Chen Xing finished talking about his blueprint, Xia Huanming had already snatched the notebook he had tucked under his armpit.
Xia Huanming turned a page and his face darkened.
One page is devoted to how to create a character; another page is devoted to how to ride on the popularity; and finally, another page is devoted to how to create a CP.
Especially the page about CP speculation.
[cp1, straightforward x dark, ratings increased by 12%
Cp2, Princess x Knight, ratings increased by 11%
Cp3, Big Brother x Rival, ratings increased by 9%
Cp4, venomous tongue x natural, ratings increased by 7%
……】
There is even a note at the bottom:
[The key to creating a CP is to find someone you like and then cling to him/her. Eat together, do tasks together, go to the bathroom outside, be together whenever you have time, and be together wherever you can see each other.
The way of CP, the one who takes the initiative first wins! 】
Xia Huanming: “…”
Let's not talk about who is poisoning him. Is this hyping up a couple? Is this a ghost? Who is going to the bathroom together?
Chen Xing saw Xia Huanming's face turn pale. He returned the notebook to him and said in a serious tone, "I don't want it."
Chen Xing: "Captain, does he have a girlfriend?"
Xia Huanming shook his head: "No."
Chen Xing understood again.
Because Xia Huanming is a pure straight man, he naturally can't stand being in a relationship with a man.
Chen Xing patted Xia Huanming on the shoulder with an "I understand" expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, it's better to be fake! When the CP is fake, everyone thinks it's real; when the CP is real, everyone thinks the interaction is fake, so we can draw the conclusion——"
Xia Huanming now had a psychological trauma about the word "so". Although he had a bad feeling, he still asked, "What?"
Chen Xing, who had been thinking for a long time, stared at him with an extremely serious expression: "The faker the CP is, the more real the CP is."
Xia Huanming: “?”
