Chapter 100
"Good morning." Shan Jia said.
Zhou Li raised her head, somewhat afraid to look at Shan Jia. She grumbled in her throat before saying, "Good morning."
Shan Jia didn't notice any difference between her and usual, so he lowered his head and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Zhou Li scratched his hair and tried to take it easy: "It's okay."
Shan Jia glanced at her and Zhou Li's cheeks turned red.
Shan Jia lowered his head and took Zhou Li's folded quilt and pajamas that were placed on the sofa into the room. His voice came from afar: "Don't you want to eat the spicy soup downstairs? It's early today, let's go together."
Zhou Li was stunned. It turned out to be exactly like what he had dreamed about?!
She scratched her hair again.
Could it be that I had this dream because I wanted to eat spicy soup? Otherwise, why would it be so strange?
Shan Jia came out of the room and saw Zhou Li still standing there blankly. He raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Li quickly shook his head, "Nothing."
"Let's go." Shan Jia was changing her shoes in front. Zhou Li looked at her squatting on the ground and couldn't understand why he would be scared by a kiss.
She touched the corner of her lips. Shan Jia stood up and looked over. "Why aren't you moving?"
Zhou Li put his hands down and stiffened his body. "I'll be right there."
The two of them took their things and went downstairs to eat spicy soup. After breakfast, they went straight to the rehearsal room to prepare to record a song and send it to Zhou Wenhua. Since he had already asked Zhou Li to release the work yesterday, they might as well strike while the iron is hot.
Sitting in the breakfast shop, Zhu Le's phone call also drifted over along with the fragrance.
"What did you eat in the morning?" Zhu Le asked.
Zhou Li looked at the spicy soup and steamed buns he had just put down in front of him, then looked at his phone and wondered, "How did you know we were eating?"
Shan Jia had already started drinking his soup and had no time to pay attention to Zhu Le.
Zhu Lele said excitedly: "The boss said in the group that you are having breakfast and said he would bring me some."
Zhou Li didn't check his phone in the morning, so he didn't know that Shan Jia and Zhu Le had a brief chat in the group.
Zhou Li: "Oh."
"Captain, why do you look so listless? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Zhu Le asked.
Shan Jia looked over and saw that Zhou Li was indeed a little listless, but it didn't seem like he hadn't slept well, but more like he was frightened.
Zhou Li rubbed his face roughly, lowered his head, picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of spicy soup into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I slept well."
"Tsk tsk, did you and the boss talk all night? That's why you're not in high spirits, right?"
That would be nice.
Zhou Li looked across and saw Shan Jiazheng eating buns politely.
"Did you call just to talk nonsense? It's okay, I'm hanging up." Zhou Li said directly.
"No, no, no!" Zhu Le said quickly, "Hasn't our new song been popular on the Orange Hot Recommendation Chart recently? I just happened to have a job. Isn't my buddy the operations manager there? He said that on the 8th of next month, which happens to be the third anniversary of Orange Video, he wants to invite us to perform. Captain, do you want to go?"
Zhou Li thought about it and decided that the audition would be on the 10th, so the 8th would be a good time for them to practice. The new band had not appeared in public yet, so they had to strike while the song was popular.
"Go!" Zhou Li made the final decision.
"Great! I'll give my buddy an answer!"
"Okay, wait for us to go to the rehearsal room."
"Okay, don't forget to bring me breakfast!"
"You won't be missing."
Zhou Li hung up the phone. Shan Jia had almost finished eating. She asked, "What's the matter?"
"Orange Video held an event for its third anniversary and invited us to perform. I agreed. It was a good opportunity to gain some stage experience."
Shan Jia nodded, and she stood up with her phone in hand: "I'm going to buy breakfast for Zhu Le, you eat first."
Zhou Li lowered his head to eat and thought about the event invitation, completely forgetting the dream he had early in the morning.
When they arrived at the rehearsal room, Zhu Le gave his brother's contact information to Shan Jia, who learned about it in detail.
Since they are not very famous, but their songs have been very popular recently, they were arranged together with some dance bloggers.
As soon as Zhou Li heard the blogger's name, he knew that they were going to be the accompaniment band. However, this was normal. Zhou Li only had 500,000 fans, and the band was even less well-known. Although they had 500,000 fans, compared with the vast number of millions of fans on Orange Video, they were not very outstanding. They could only be regarded as a small blogger.
Zhou Li didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to give them a stage to perform.
She was very easy to talk to, which really touched the contact person. He thought Zhou Li looked cool in the video but would be difficult to deal with, so he made up his mind to get a good stage for Zhou Li.
Zhou Li finalized the song with the other party. Due to the connection between the programs, their band had to perform two songs, one was their song and the other was Orange's hit song. Zhou Li was stunned when she got the song and decided to discuss it with Shan Jia. Although she was the lead singer of "Freedom", Shan Jia was still the lead singer of the team.
Shan Jia frowned when he got the song, and looked at the corpse covered with spliced fragments with confusion in his eyes.
Can this even be called a song? What the hell are people listening to these days?!
Zhou Li could read the confusion in her eyes.
She coughed and said, "New trend, new trend."
Shan Jia said, "Can we adapt it ourselves?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, but this was also a solution. She went to communicate with the other party again, and the other party accepted it very actively.
Next, they were busy with these two songs. Time flew by. Zhou Li and the others came to rehearsal yesterday and officially started performing today. The third anniversary of Orange Video was celebrated with great fanfare, and there was a red carpet segment. Various celebrities and internet celebrities gathered together, and many people were invited. Zhou Li and the others also had to walk the red carpet, and after walking the red carpet, they waited backstage to go on stage.
It was the first time for Zhou Li to see such a grand ceremony. Although he knew that he was a performer, he still felt a little uncomfortable looking at the red carpet and all the cameras.
Zhu Le was extremely excited, but Shan Jia had no expression on his face.
The costumes of Zhou Li's band were all performance costumes prepared by Orange Video, so the three of them simply didn't change. Zhou Li and Shan Jia stood together, and the three of them walked the red carpet calmly, even mingling with other people. The host introduced them as newcomers to Orange Video. In fact, Zhou Li has been with Orange Video for three years and is a complete veteran. But looking at the internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans behind them, the three of them went on stage calmly and left the stage calmly, and no one noticed them at all.
Zhou Li was nervous at first, but burst out laughing after stepping down from the stage.
Shan Jia looked at her, and Zhou Li shook her head and smiled, "I thought it would be a big scene."
Shan Jia's eyes curved slightly, and Zhu Le clenched his fist and said, "From now on, those people in the audience will cheer for us!"
Zhou Li said with certainty: "Of course!"
The evening performance went smoothly. The director placed the band on the platform on the second floor. Dance bloggers were below the platform. Zhou Li set up a microphone in front of him, Shan Jia picked up the guitar, and Zhu Le carried the bass. The three looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Zhou Li played the drums gracefully.
I originally thought that I would be nervous seeing tens of thousands of audiences in the audience, but after walking across the red carpet, Zhou Li was strangely calm and no longer disturbed by external things. Her drumming became more and more chic. The audience, who were originally looking for their favorite blogger, were gradually attracted by the drumming and looked towards the second-floor platform, where a band was performing hard.
After three rehearsals, Zhou Li’s condition was not very good, but today’s official performance was to the fullest!
Shan Jia and Zhu Le's bodies were also moved by the sound of the drums. The originally empty stage was filled with singing, and the people in the audience went crazy together!
After performing two songs, Zhou Li still felt it was not enough. She looked at Shan Jia with bright eyes. Shan Jia also had an unsatisfied look on his face. Zhou Li stretched out her hand, and Shan Jia high-fived her with one hand.
"I've decided!" Zhou Li said, "We must stand at the top and attract the attention of all the audience! Let them cheer for us!"
"The stage and the drumming were both amazing!" Zhou Li blushed with excitement.
"We want to do our best," said Shan Jia.
"Of course!" Zhu Le also came over and grabbed their hands. The three of them said together, "See you at the top!"
They are here for the auditions!!!
On the 10th, at the audition site of "Miracle Music", countless bands came here with musical instruments. These are the contestants who passed the resume screening. Ten bands will be selected from them to participate in the program and record.
Because the drummer's instrument is difficult to move, the audition will use the drum set provided by the program team.
Shan Jia was a little worried about Zhou Li. After all, it was not his own instrument, so it would not be so easy to use.
Zhou Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let them wait a moment, I'll go in and tune the instrument first."
Shan Jia smiled as she recalled the drum set whose door was knocked apart by Zhou Li when they first met, and Zhu Le was circling back and forth beside it.
Many bands came to the audition, some of which Zhu Le was very familiar with. Thinking that he was competing with these people, he was so nervous that he couldn't stop. He put his bass bag aside and said, "I'm going to the bathroom again."
Zhou Li was helpless. She waved her hand and said, "Drink less water. You will be performing on stage soon."
Their numbers were drawn relatively early, and now all the contestants are crowded in a hall, waiting for their numbers to be called so that they can go inside for interviews and performances.
Zhu Le looked bitter and left in a hurry.
Zhou Li stroked his chin and asked Shan Jia, "Has he ever been this nervous before? The last time he was invited to perform, there were so many people in the audience, I was so nervous, but he comforted me and told me to treat the audience like cabbages. Why is he so nervous today? You must have performed hundreds of shows, right?"
Shan Jia looked ahead and said calmly, "Tang Bai and the others are here too."
Not only Tang Bai, but also keyboardist Chen Siyu and the original drummer Wang Zeyu formed a new band.
Zhou Li's expression suddenly turned serious. "Where are they?"
Shan Jia raised her chin slightly, and Zhou Li followed her gaze. Several people from the other party were sitting together, playing and joking regardless of the occasion, as if they were almost certain to enter the audition this time.
Zhu Le came back from the bathroom with a strange look on his face. He lowered his voice, asked Zhou Li and Shan Jia to come over, and whispered, "I heard there are recommended contestants in this audition."
Zhou Li and Shan Jia exchanged glances and heard Zhu Le say with suppressed anger, "Did you notice the sponsor logo next to it? That's the company run by Li Simeng's brother!"
It goes without saying who the recommended player is.
Zhou Li sighed inwardly, what a narrow road for enemies to cross.
She patted Zhu Le's head, secretly grabbed Shan Jia's hand and said firmly, "Don't be afraid! He has financial backers, and so do we! There's no way he can just brush us off like this!"
Zhu Le looked at Zhou Li worriedly.
"What do we have..." Someone came over and Zhu Le swallowed his words.
Zhou Li blinked and said, "Boss Hong."
Zhu Le was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
That's right! The producer is Boss Hong's friend! Even if Tang Bai has great power, they have people behind them!
Shan Jia knew that Zhou Li was only saying words to comfort Zhu Le, but things might not be as terrible as Zhu Le imagined.
She felt the warmth on her wrist and said lightly, "If he dares to do anything, I will take back the copyright of all my songs."
Zhu Le was stunned and his eyes turned red.
In fact, the Windmill Band has been relying on the boss for these years. In the last lawsuit between Tang Bai and the boss, it was not Tang Bai who won, but the boss who chose to settle. The copyright of the song is jointly owned by her and Tang Bai. Until now, Tang Bai is still paying the boss copyright fee. It is with this money that the boss supports the band. It's just that the other two fools don't know about it, and they happily run to the opponents, not knowing that every time they get paid for a performance, the boss will give them more, knowing that they have to support their families.
In fact, Zhu Le also knew that they were a burden, and with the boss's talent, it was enough for him to fly alone.
Zhu Le said eagerly: "Boss..."
Zhou Li didn't understand, but he could hear the destructive power of Shan Jia's words.
Shan Jia said: "He doesn't dare, so just focus on performing your own show."
Zhu Le finally sat down.
Zhou Li let go, but felt her shoulder sink. Shan Jia leaned on her shoulder with his eyes closed.
"Let me rest for a while, and then I'll put on a good show."
"Um."
Zhou Li was so obedient that he didn't dare to move. His eyes were darting around and he looked a little flustered.
