Chapter 77 Birthday
"Take a photo of me?" Lin Chiran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right." Han Ruoming nodded. It would be easy for her to invite Wax&Wane. All she had to do was to come and shoot a cover photo.
Lin Chiran looked puzzled, as if wondering why this request was made.
Han Ruoming did not force it: "If Producer Lin doesn't want to, forget it."
With Wax&Wane's popularity, they will be on "Diao Luan" sooner or later. Han Ruo dreamed of taking the photo, so she was not in a hurry. However, she was a little disappointed that she failed to take the photo of Lin Chi Ran again...
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a positive answer.
"I'm looking forward to our cooperation." Lin Chiran said with a smile. Although he didn't know why Han Ruoming suddenly made this request, he could accept it.
Han Ruoming was a little surprised by the straightforward answer: "I thought you would refuse again..."
"Again?" Lin Chiran looked confused.
Han Ruoming was silent for a moment, then said, "Didn't you reject last year's invitation?"
Lin Chiran frowned slightly: "Last year...when was it?"
Han Ruoming looked at him, also puzzled: "Just before your new album was released, at the end of July."
"At the end of July last year..." Lin Chiran murmured. That was when SLANT hadn't graduated yet. He understood immediately: "Did Director Han contact someone who was in SLANT's team at the time?"
"I contacted my agent." Han Ruoming nodded, and then she remembered something: "No way..."
Lin Chiran smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I never heard from my agent that the team had some problems last year."
It's no secret that SLANT's former manager Fang Yao and former member Chen Zhou left last year right after they graduated, and they also had a disagreement over the demo incident.
Chen Zhou was even hidden from the public for a while because of this, and only reappeared in front of the public not long ago.
After hearing Lin Chiran's explanation, Han Ruoming believed that he was not lying, but felt a little helpless: "What a pity."
Lin Chi Ran didn't dwell on the past too much, and continued with a smile: "I'll have to trouble Director Han with the time arrangement. I hope Wax & Wane can be scheduled before mid-May."
Han Ruoming recalled her schedule: "April is already fully booked. I'm going to go to Country B in early May. I think the time for the two issues after I come back will be fine."
Lin Chiran looked at the time. It was before the release date of Wax&Wane’s second single, which was a suitable promotional period, so he said there was no problem.
The two of them successfully finalized the deal and were both very satisfied with the arrangement and looked forward to working together next time.
At the same time, the cover and disc art design of the second single "Eye Line" was completed.
The cover of "Eye Line" uses the members' makeup photos. The eyes in the photos are superimposed, and the resulting "eyes" are used as the single cover.
The design of the dial is very gorgeous, with gradient multi-colored radial lines from the inside to the outside, which means "sight".
After the printing proofs and design are finalized, they will be taken together with the master tape and lyrics by a dedicated person to apply for a physical distribution number.
The members of Wax&Wane are preparing for tonight's ANC Radio. At the end of the show, they will announce the news of their new single, and the five of them are ready to go.
At 9 o'clock on Sunday night, the ANC Radio opening music sounded on time.
"It's been a week since we last met. Good evening, everyone~" An Juesui was already familiar with the procedure, and everyone introduced themselves together.
Considering today's special arrangements, we chatted for a while about interesting things in our recent lives, and then officially entered the regular letter-reading segment of the program.
Seeing the pile of letters on the table, Shen Xun remembered the letter directed to An Juesui and felt a little worried. He looked up and met Ji Qifeng who was also concerned about An Juesui's condition.
Ji Qifeng nodded imperceptibly, signaling with his eyes that Shen Xun was fine.
"Listeners, it's a coincidence, everyone from Wax&Wane, good evening." An Juesui said in a steady tone.
Jingxing and Jiang Hechu responded.
"Good evening!"
"Good evening."
An Jue Sui continued to read the listener's letter attentively: "My recent trouble is that I have a disagreement and a conflict with a very important friend. I bought something my friend likes as a gift, and the relationship has eased. But I still care about the thing that caused our disagreement. My friend's behavior is completely incomprehensible to me. If I don't resolve it, it will always be a knot in my heart. What should I do?"
"This listener's question is indeed difficult to deal with." An Juesui rarely had conflicts with his friends on important issues, so he asked other members for their opinions first.
Jingxing thought for a while and said, "Well... I think the most important thing between friends is sincerity. It's a coincidence that this listener is willing to send a gift to make peace after the conflict between the two of them. He must value this friend very much.
"And your friend is willing to accept the gift, so he must have this listener in his heart. Perhaps what you need is a chance to sit down and have a good talk, try to understand each other, and reach a unified understanding?"
Jingxing's answer was very reasonable, and the other members also discussed in this direction, believing that two people who could become friends would definitely be able to find an answer that both of them agreed to. Only Jiang Hechu put forward a different point of view.
"Do friends have to agree on everything to be friends?" Jiang Hechu's idea is completely different.
Jingxing thought about it and said as a matter of course: "At least we need to understand each other or have common interests."
"I don't think so." Jiang Hechu spoke casually, but his words were serious: "There are as many ideas as there are people in the world. It is impossible for two people to be exactly the same. Even if they have the same views and goals at a certain stage, it is impossible to guarantee that they will be on the same track for their entire lives. Are they not friends?"
"Of course." Among the friends Jingxing made through music, there are a few who are his best friends in life even if we put aside their interests and hobbies. Thinking of this, he seemed to understand what Jiang Hechu meant.
"So, this listener, maybe you don't need to dwell on this issue." Jiang Hechu read the listener's name word by word, and after giving the conclusion, he continued: "Even if you and this friend can never understand each other on certain issues, it doesn't mean that you are no longer friends."
"As long as the original intention when you chose to become friends is still there, this friendship can continue. There is no need to add too much trouble to yourself. Just like I like raw chocolate, you also like raw chocolate; but I like coriander, but you may not like coriander." Jiang Hechu said frankly.
An Juesui nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, just the coriander will make half of the people's choices completely different."
"Why did the topic return to coriander again?" Shen Xun was helpless. He couldn't get around this hurdle.
An Juesui smiled awkwardly: "Okay, then this is the advice given by everyone at Wax&Wane on this issue. I hope that the audience can solve their troubles as soon as possible and reconcile with their friends..."

In the airport lounge, the broadcast sounded and a boy in black took off his headphones.
"Dear passengers, please note that your flight CN080 is now boarding. Please take your belongings with you..."
The boy packed his luggage, listened to the submission, turned off the ANC Radio app on his phone, and walked towards the boarding gate.
The flight to Country B is about to taxi for takeoff, and the flight attendant is reminding passengers to switch their phones to flight mode.
The boy received a message one second before he clicked on the flight mode.
[Perfect luck is neither perfect nor coincidental?] 】
The boy had a smile on his face. He apologized to the stewardess, typed a reply quickly, and then turned off his phone.

At the ANC radio station, during a break, everyone was drinking some water and flipping through the script at the back. Jiang Hechu was very rarely looking at his phone, and he kept swiping the screen.
Shen Xun, who was sitting next to him, accidentally dropped the pen. When he bent over to pick it up, he inadvertently saw the contents on it.
It was a photo of two people. One of them looked to be Jiang Hechu who was younger than he is now, and the other one was wearing all black with a cool smile. The two of them looked very close together, and the background seemed to be at some foreign airport.
Jiang Hechu opened the chat box, on which was still the message "Guess..." from the other party. 】
He sent the photo, then turned off the screen and stopped looking at his phone.
ANC Radio has entered the second half, and the project this time is a passionate singing. Each member makes up a line of lyrics and sings in a chain with a simple melody. The person behind has to perfectly repeat the part sung by the person in front.
After singing some strange songs like "Coriander Song" and "Vacation Song", the order changed to the other four singing first, with Jingxing being the last to sing.
Jingxing was quietly beating the beat, trying to memorize the melody and lyrics of the previous few people's performances, when the lights in the studio suddenly dimmed. Worried that there might be a power outage, he wanted to get up and ask the staff outside.
But Ji Qifeng pushed him down on his seat, and then he heard a song that was very familiar to him, or rather, he had just heard it from his family this morning, and Jingxing opened his eyes wide.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~" An Juesui sang the birthday song happily, and Ji Qifeng also followed with a smile.
"Happy birthday Dear Jingxing~" Jiang Hechu sang and clapped with the two of them.
"Happy birthday to you~" Shen Xun also joined in, and the four of them sang the birthday song in unison and applauded loudly.
ANC radio staff also opened their mini fireworks outside the studio, which was separated only by a glass wall: "Happy birthday, Jingxing!"
At the same time, Lin Chiran and Wu Wen came in pushing a cart with a cake and a small lamp on it.
"Wow, the cake is so beautiful." Jingxing's eyes sparkled with joy, and he swept his gaze over everyone: "Thank you everyone!"
There is a Q version of Jingxing painted on the cake, and various mini musical instruments are dotted around it, which is exquisite and cute.
An Juesui's tone was full of envy: "This is what the captain drew specially for you. It looks exactly like you, doesn't it?"
Chen Xun smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Jingxing."
"I like it very much!" Jingxing nodded repeatedly, and then he remembered the abnormality of several people a few days ago, and suddenly realized: "Were you whispering about this a few days ago?"
"I told them you discovered it, but they didn't believe it." Jiang Hechu joked.
Ji Qifeng said: "The effect is still very good."
Jingxing's tone was a little tangled, and he couldn't help but say: "No one has said anything all day, I thought you forgot..."
“How could that be!” An Juesui looked at Lin Chiran who had just entered the studio: “When Brother Lin was planning, he was thinking about how to celebrate for you. The singing session was designed for this purpose, right!”
Lin Chiran looked at Jingxing's expectant eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you guys seemed to be having a lot of fun too."
Jingxing's face flushed slightly. He had been quite devoted and serious in the singing session just now. Thinking that this was a special plan arranged for his birthday, the emotions in his heart became even more difficult to suppress.
Seeing his excited expression, Lin Chiran said with a smile: "I haven't made a birthday wish yet."
Jingxing leaned over to the microphone, took a deep breath and spoke: "I love everyone at Wax&Wane the most! My birthday wish is that Wax&Wane can last forever, and we can all keep going together!"
Listening to this sincere wish, everyone's eyes were filled with a sense of belonging to Wax&Wane. At this moment, this wish carried the wishes of everyone present and blessed their future.
When the lights came on again, Lin Chiran and Wu Wen left the studio.
The members continued the show with pure hearts, and the next news was what fans had been waiting for for a long time.
