Chapter 168 The Singer Whose Career Was Delayed by His Main Profession
"Brother Shen, Lin Heping has gotten you another job."
"Just accept it, what is it this time?"
Feng Xu was already feeling uneasy, and seeing Gu Yishen's nonchalant attitude, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"He wants you to go to that 'Singer Whose Talent Was Wasted on His Main Career'..."
"Music competition?" Gu Yishen raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise.
“Yes…” Feng Xu had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
"Brother Shen, what do you think Lin Hecheng is thinking?! I told him to go on a music variety show, it's just because he's bored and wants you to ruin your image! But he just won't listen to my advice, he insists that you go!"
"Oh, then I'll go."
Gu Yishen said it lightly, without showing any of the tension that Feng Xu did.
Feng Xu stared wide-eyed, initially thinking that perhaps his brother Shen was an all-rounder with extraordinary musical talent, but was actually just hiding his abilities?
So Feng Xu excitedly asked Gu Yishen if he was the kind of hidden big shot who didn't show off.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yishen told Feng Xu in a very serious tone that he couldn't sing at all...
Feng Xu was instantly on the verge of tears.
I thought his brother Shen would give him some big surprise, but it seems there was no surprise, but there was definitely a bit of a shock.
Gu Yishen couldn't help but find it amusing to see Feng Xu's worried expression.
"Why are you sighing like that? I'm not washed up yet."
Feng Xu glanced at Gu Yishen with a resentful look: "Brother Shen, I think you're nearing the end of your career..."
Gu Yishen was too lazy to tease Feng Xu, so he told Feng Xu about Lin Hecheng's ulterior motives.
After hearing Gu Yishen's words, Feng Xu suddenly realized what was going on.
Ah! So Lin Heicheng wasn't just bored and arranging activities to prank their Shen-ge; he actually had this kind of wishful thinking up his sleeve.
He really is an old fox, cunning and shrewd!
What stupid things has his daughter Lin Manxi done that he still has the nerve to shamelessly ask his brother Shen to salvage Sega's image by selling bromance!
but……
It's obvious that Lin Heisei's actions are the kind of shady things that Shen Ge usually finds most offensive, but this time Shen Ge actually accepted them without any resistance.
And he was looking at Gu Yishen...
How come it seems like they're actually enjoying it?
Is it true that "love" makes people blind...?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. With such a great opportunity to "date" at public expense and even get paid, I doubt anyone would refuse.
In this way, Sega could be said to have tacitly approved of Gu Yishen and Luo Jia's "relationship".
Otherwise, given Lin Heicheng's consistent nature, he would have already used all sorts of public relations tactics to refute Gu Yishen's rumors from every angle.
Thinking of this, Feng Xu suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
Their son, Shen, has finally made it through the tough times...
...
This show is relatively relaxed, with no regular guests. Each guest will only appear on one episode.
Therefore, celebrities who participate in the show are very willing to take on these one-off gigs.
Moreover, the guests invited to "Singers Whose Careers Were Delayed" are not professional singers at all; they come from all walks of life.
Those who are more famous include actors, hosts, athletes, and the like.
For those without fame, it's not impossible that they might just hire an ordinary person.
In short, it's impossible for any of these people to be professional singers.
Moreover, when the show first aired, its main selling point was authenticity.
We will absolutely not use any lip-syncing, post-production dubbing, or sound mixing techniques on our guests; we will completely restore their most authentic singing level.
So the show's ratings are quite good, because you can often see some very interesting plot twists on the show.
For example, a famous movie actress is tone-deaf and sings off-key, but she is very confident and sings with great passion. Her serious expression makes the audience laugh.
For example, a certain comedian is the kind of actor who is naturally funny just by standing on stage, even if he doesn't do anything.
Who knew that when they opened their mouths with a smile, it turned out to be a song with an extremely high difficulty level, and one that was very easy to sing wrong.
As it turned out, she handled the whole thing with ease and control, and her level of skill and singing ability was even comparable to some professional singers, which greatly shocked all the audience.
Because the guests are all outsiders, and everyone knows it's just an entertainment program, the audience is very tolerant of the guests. For celebrities who dare to show their most authentic selves on the show, they also gain a little bit of goodwill from the program.
Therefore, Gu Yishen felt that he could go on "The Singer Whose Career Was Delayed" because he wouldn't lose out no matter what.
Although he knows his own level, with the previous "off-key actress" as a benchmark, he estimates that even if he doesn't perform well, he won't be criticized too harshly.
Compared to the show itself, Gu Yishen was more looking forward to Luo Jia appearing in that episode.
Since his confrontation with Luo Jia at the Jinjiang Hotel, where he "revealed his feelings," Luo Jia has said he would "give himself a chance," but they haven't had any contact privately lately.
To be honest, Gu Yishen was a bit shy. Whenever he opened his phone and chatted with Luo Jia, he would type and delete repeatedly, not knowing what to say to her at all.
He was worried that if he were too eager to bother Luo Jia, it would cause her trouble.
Because not everyone can accept the fact that they are gay, and he himself went through a long period of back and forth and internal struggle before finally figuring out his own thoughts.
He didn't want to put Luo Jia in a difficult position because of himself, and he was even more afraid that Luo Jia was just saying that to avoid making him feel so embarrassed at the time, or out of a "friends-to-be" mentality.
Heaven knows that Gu Yishen may have appeared calm and collected on the surface recently, but in reality, he has been suffering terribly inside.
So, Lin Heisei's actions at this time were actually quite good for Gu Yishen.
If he has the chance, he should take the opportunity during the show to have a good talk with Luo Jia about their relationship.
Gu Yishen used to take it lightly, but now he finally understands that love is truly a torturous thing.
