"It doesn't sound like a singer's downfall, but rather a singer's wayward path. Normally, being a star requires exposure. So once there are no more works, they have to find ways to maintain exposure through other means.
Whether it's participating in variety shows, interviews, various activities, scandals, or even so-called street shots that are bought out from time to time, as long as there is constant exposure and the star's name continues to appear in the public eye, it's fine.
Since fame is positively correlated with a star's income, having a production isn't crucial; consistently appearing in headlines is crucial. This has led many stars to cultivate their own personas. As long as their persona is established, exposure is a given.
Chen Yan smiled as he waited for the food to be served, while continuing, "Take the so-called Rain God for example. I heard that to create this character, his team would specifically research where it would rain, and then go to places where it was predicted to rain. By forcibly tying celebrities and rain together, rain has become a label for him.
Whenever it rains anywhere, someone will joke about him arriving, which has really helped his popularity. And that so-called "half of the singing world" also forcibly ties himself to "not grabbing headlines," right? Why don't you do something like that? It shouldn't be difficult, right? For you."
Although he was chatting with Duan Mengqi, his attention was not actually on Duan Mengqi.
Because he was not full at all from the previous meal.
Because the elderly were not in good health, the so-called family dinner lasted only two hours.
Although the elders took his appetite into consideration and added a lot of meat to the dinner menu specifically for him, he kept drinking and drank almost three kilograms of white wine in just two hours. This meant that he was almost constantly toasting, so how could he have much time to eat?
Anyway, after the meal, let alone having a full stomach, he felt that being able to eat half full was already good enough.
But even so, he was still the biggest eater at the table.
The amount of food he ate was definitely much more than all the other people combined.
However, I eat too much, and the food I have is not enough to cover the dried fruits. Now that I have entered this private restaurant, I will naturally look to see what dishes are going to be served.
However, considering that there were only three of them coming over in the evening, including two girls, they probably couldn't order many dishes.
After he finishes eating, he has to order some more. Not to say he is completely full, but at least he can eat about 70% or 80% of it.
There's no reason to make yourself suffer when eating out.
"It's not difficult, but I don't really care whether I'm out of fashion or not. I just feel very melancholy because I don't have any good songs to sing. If I really became like those celebrities, constantly making news and maintaining my exposure, my family would definitely be unhappy."
Duan Mengqi smiled brightly and continued, "If I become famous with my work, even if my family still looks down on me, at least they won't think I'm not doing my job properly. But if I start hyping myself up, my family will probably think I'm doing something crooked."
While they were talking, waiters from the private restaurant came in one after another carrying plates of dishes.
Not to mention, the waitresses here are all well-dressed and pretty girls. Their looks can't be compared with Duan Mengqi and Chu Yinyin, but they all look very young, probably in their early twenties.
While they have pretty looks, they also have a hint of youthfulness and charm.
In plain words, it's the face of first love.
Noticing that Chen Yan's gaze lingered on the waiters for a while, Chu Yinyin couldn't help but ask, "What? Have you picked someone you like? If you like any of them, you can tell Meng Qi and ask her to help you ask if they're willing to go with you.
However, the waiters here are all decent waiters. The reason why they choose beautiful girls is just to make it easier for Meng Qi to avoid any embarrassing situations when eating here. So don't think about doing anything bad, at least you have to fall in love. "
"cough……"
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Yinyin and said helplessly: "What does this have to do with falling in love? I'm just appreciating beautiful things."
"Beautiful things? Am I not beautiful? Or is Meng Qi not beautiful? Why don't you appreciate both of us?"
Chu Yinyin asked persistently.
Such a reaction surprised Duan Mengqi, and she couldn't help but look at Chu Yinyin twice more.
"You are beautiful, and Meng Qi is beautiful too. But no matter how beautiful you are, you can't prevent others from being beautiful, right? There are so many beautiful things in this world, and we need to have eyes that are good at discovering beauty."
While Chen Yan was speaking, he had already launched an attack on the dishes on the table with full force.
What made him satisfied was that Duan Mengqi did not order too little, and the portions of food in this private restaurant were not too small either.
The focus is not on the inexplicable plating, but almost entirely on the taste of the dishes, so that even though the dishes served are mainly home-cooked meals, they are still very satisfying to eat.
"Oh, I suddenly thought of something. Mengqi has been troubled for the past two years because she doesn't have any good songs. Even though she found some well-known composers and lyricists to write songs, the finished products still don't satisfy Mengqi. This matter...can you help me?"
Chu Yinyin looked at Chen Yan with sharp eyes and asked.
Chen Yan pointed at himself and said in astonishment, "Me? How can I help? I can't even read musical notation, and I've never studied vocal music. You're simply asking a blind man for advice, aren't you?"
Chu Yinyin stuck out her tongue cutely and said, "Think of a solution? Before today, I wouldn't have thought you could do it. But after today, I feel like nothing in this world can stump you.
No matter what happens, no matter how difficult it is, as long as it's on you, you'll definitely find a way to solve it! I have absolute confidence in you now. Think about it, give us a surprise, okay?
Chen Yan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "For this kind of highly specialized work, if you can't do it, then you can't do it. What does this have to do with surprises?"
Chu Yinyin said coquettishly: "It may not matter to others, but it must matter to you. If you help Meng Qi, how about I let you into my room tonight?"
"Good boy, is this a direct honey trap?"
Chen Yan had to admit that he was moved.
The main thing was that he suddenly thought that although he didn't understand musical notation, the database of "Hope" contained a complete collection of golden songs for the next hundred years!
