Chapter 137 The Inside Story

Look familiar?

Hearing her say this, Lin Zhixing suddenly remembered that he took off his mask when he was playing the suona just now.

The stage lights were off, and Zheng Lili couldn't see clearly. She held the erhu in her hand and took a closer look. "Who are you? You look so familiar. I feel like you are right next to my mouth."

Is it so well-known now?

It feels good to be recognized.

Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, cleared his throat, and replied in a magnetic voice: "Lin Zhixing."

"Lin Zhixing?"

Zheng Lili pursed her lips and shook her head, "Then I may have recognized the wrong person."

"Forehead……"

The script was not like this. Lin Zhixing bowed his head and sang softly: "The sound of horse hooves rises and falls, oh yeah, oh yeah~~"

"Oh yeah brother!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zheng Lili opened her almond eyes wide, walked forward excitedly, took out her phone and clicked on the camera, "My whole family likes you very much. Recently, I've been following you on "I Am the King of Singers"! Let's take a picture!"

“Sure, sure.”

This is how the script should be, Lin Zhixing smiled, raised his scissors hand, and cooperated in taking the photo.

"I didn't expect to see you here!"

Zheng Lili grabbed his arm to prevent him from running away, and chattered excitedly, "Your symphony version of "Above the Moon" is so cool, so talented! But my favorite is your song "Hello World", the arrangement is so great, I specially transcribed the score to learn it!"

Faced with the endless praise, although Lin Zhixing was trying his best to control himself, the corners of his mouth still uncontrollably curled up to his ears.

Cool!!! "Oh yeah, can I play a piece of "The World Is Always Hello" for you on my erhu?" Zheng Lili was eager to show off her skills in front of her idol.

“Sure, sure.”

Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded.

Zheng Lili moved a chair and asked Lin Zhixing to sit down. Then she got into position and gently plucked the strings of the zither.

As the music rose and fell, she was completely immersed in it.

Lin Zhixing listened to the beautiful melody and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to beat the rhythm.

This girl played really well, and she was able to speak so boldly. She really has some talent. Both her emotions and skills were much better than the erhu player on the stage just now.

After the song, Zheng Lili put away her erhu, smiled and walked forward to ask, "How was it?"

"fine."

Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the seat where she had just sat. The red musical note-shaped light was particularly eye-catching.

"Are you a performer in this theater?"

"no."

Zheng Lili sighed and said, "I haven't attended a single performance in this year."

Lin Zhixing was very surprised after hearing this, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why? I think you played the erhu very well just now."

"well!"

Zheng Lili sighed, a trace of sadness on her face, and said, "I used to be a music student. My grandfather and father both taught musical instruments. My dream is to form an orchestra with like-minded friends and perform all over the country."

"After graduation, I formed a band as I wished. However, things were not as simple as I thought. I owed a large sum of money and the band disbanded. Being knocked down by reality again and again, my idea became that I would just be able to perform and make some money to pay off my debts."

"The first two times I came here, they showed me what it means to be perfunctory. They would only give 20% of their effort in a performance, but never 30%. I don't want to play with such people."

"This is my third time in a big city. Facing the pressure of reality, I am willing to be their dog this time. I am willing to go along with them and beg them to take me in and let me perform. If there is any educated person who wants me and wants me to be his lackey, I will accept it!"

"But, it's been almost a year, and I still haven't gotten a chance to perform on stage. Oh yeah, I really can't hold on any longer..."

Maybe it was because she had accumulated too much negative emotions. When she said this, Zheng Lili's voice choked and her eyes gradually turned red.

Even if I had two hectares of land in Luoyang, how could I be worthy of the seals of the Prime Ministers of six countries?

Lan Xing is the female version of Guo Degang? After listening to her story, Lin Zhixing understood her. Since these performers wanted to mess around and play badly, they would definitely not tolerate the emergence of strong musicians.

While she turned her back to wipe her tears, Lin Zhixing walked over to the red light and reached out to touch it.

【bite!】

[Erhu playing proficiency +5 points. ]

【Current: Erhu plays D (3/5). 】

this……

The attributes increased a lot at once, it seems that she is really very capable.

"Let's do this."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhixing said, "If you still have dreams, call your friends, form a complete band, and come to my studio. I will train you wholeheartedly and pay you well!"

I made this decision not out of pity or sympathy for her, but based on my own considerations.

This girl has the ability to put together an orchestra. The price of a grassroots orchestra will not be too high, and they will be of use in the future. It will definitely not be a loss, and maybe you can even make a fortune from them.

"Really?"

Under the guidance of this musical genius, she might become famous in the future. Zheng Lili showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Can I ask what the reward is? I can mobilize people who are willing to go."

Lin Zhixing pondered for a moment and said, "It will be distributed according to work and ability. The first month's salary will be 6000 to 8000, and it will increase as you make more achievements. The minimum monthly salary is 10000 including accommodation. You can come to Beiping to find me and I will reimburse your air tickets and accommodation."

"Does 6 mean 6,000?"

Zheng Lili asked uncertainly.

She was reading a novel last night. The author said the number of new words would be between 6 and 8,000, but she only updated 4,000 words. Later she realized that it meant between 6 and 8,000 words.

Don't go there with a group of people from afar, just to meet a capitalist and get a salary of 6 to 8,000 yuan.

"certainly."

Lin Zhixing took out his phone and clicked on the WeChat business card. "Add me as a friend. Contact me anytime if you have any ideas."

"Yeah, okay."

After Zheng Lili added him as a friend and chatted for a few more minutes, Lin Zhixing left the theater.

I have done everything I can, and the rest is up to fate.

The next morning, the second episode (Part 2) of "I Am the King of Singers" was recorded live.

In the director's office.

“Boom boom boom!”

"Come in!"

The office door was pushed open, and Guo Jiahe, wearing a fancy vest and sunglasses, walked in. "Hello, Director Hong!"

"Hey, Jiahe, come and sit down."

Hong Bo closed the webpage he was browsing, stood up with a smile, pointed to the seat across the table, and pushed the fruit plate on the table over. "The competition starts tonight. I look forward to your wonderful performance. You are the guarantee of our show's ratings!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Guo Jiahe smiled and waved his hand. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he stated the purpose of his visit. "Director Hong, I want to ask, before the show started, wasn't it agreed that the host's job would take turns? Have the rules been changed?"

Hong Bo was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant. He smiled and explained, "Ah, that's how it is. Lin Zhixing did a good job as a host, so we asked him to host one more episode."

"Oh, that's it."

Guo Jiahe nodded. "He is indeed a good host. Is he the host again tonight?"

“It hasn’t been decided yet.”

When Hong Bo heard this, he realized that he wanted to host the show, so he said, "Jia He, how about you be the host tonight?"

Maybe he will direct other programs in the future, and he doesn't want to offend this popular artist. Maybe he will need to be invited to participate in future programs.

Guo Jiahe smiled and nodded, "If you haven't decided on a candidate yet, I can give it a try. I really want to see if I have the ability in this area."

He actually had no interest in being the host of a show. The reason he wanted to be one was because he felt that Lin Zhixing's lines when introducing him in the previous episode were perfunctory, as if he was deliberately targeting him.

However, Lin Zhixing did not do that. His opening remarks were all improvised, and the contestants' entrance words were all based on the program team's gimmicks.

Hong Bo decided immediately, "Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight."

Out of the director's office.

Guo Jiahe's phone rang. It was a WeChat voice call. The person calling him was "Wei Donglin", one of the special judges of the show.

"Hey, Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "It's like this. I have something to tell you in advance. I've given you the right to vote for three consecutive periods. In order to avoid suspicion, I have to vote for someone else this time."

In order to increase the popularity of its artists and give them a chance to get an invitation to the Blue Star Music Spring Festival Gala, Guo Jiahe's record company spent a lot of money to bribe the judge "Wei Donglin" with the goal of winning the championship of "I Am the King of Singers".

Guo Jiahe nodded slightly after listening, and said with understanding: "Brother Wei, you don't have to tell me about this next time. I believe in your judgment. Adding votes is not particularly important to me now. You can vote for whatever you want, but don't vote for these two."

Wei Donglin smiled and said, "My competitor Wang Jiawei, I promise I won't vote for her in this show, don't worry! Who is the other one? Is it Pan Shuai?"

Pan Shuai is very good at rapping, and he guessed that Guo Jiahe also regarded him as a rival.

"The phoenix lives in the sycamore tree."

"Oh, okay..."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Donglin pinched his ears, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

There is still one hour until the game starts.

In the lounge.

"I'm not nervous, just be yourself!"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu, who had changed their clothes, were so nervous about their performance soon that they could not sit still and comforted each other.

In contrast to them, Song Ge and Lin Zhixing were not nervous about the competition.

The only thing that made Lin Zhixing feel strange was why the host suddenly replaced himself and let Guo Jiahe host the show.

However, it doesn't affect who hosts the competition, so he doesn't take it too seriously.

"Come on, dove, take a picture!"

Lin Zhixing turned on the camera, stretched out his hand and made a half heart shape, and Song Ge smiled and stretched out his hand to cooperate.

“Crack!”

Lin Zhixing glanced at the photo he had taken and said, "My hands are so white!"

He then used the photo as an illustration and posted a Weibo post.

[Good evening everyone, come and listen to our singing in a while! Warm reminder, prepare insulin, because the song is very sweet! ]

Singing is all about technique and no emotion, right? Tonight, I'll make all of you haters shut up! ...

Singer's waiting room.

There were still ten minutes before the competition started. All the singers were present and director Hong Bo walked in with a lottery box.

"Good evening everyone. Today we will still draw lots to determine the order of appearance."

According to the arrangement, the singers drew their performance order in turn. Lin Zhixing drew number 3, which was a pretty good performance order.

"Sister Weiwei, which number did you draw?"

Lin Zhixing showed his number to Zhao Weiwei who was sitting next to him and asked with a smile.

"Number 2."

Zhao Weiwei replied with a smile.

Lin Zhixing was about to say something else when Yu Jiang beside her said "hmm" and Zhao Weiwei turned her head away.

Lin Zhixing: “…”

Inside the surprise singer's compartment.

"Baby, who of us will push the surprise attack lever later?"

Dong Chen touched the lever in front of him and discussed with Ji Yu.

"Let's see how Xin-ge performs. If there is a mistake, whoever has the quickest hand will make the move."

Ji Yu’s goal is very clear, which is to stay one more period, and she will beat whoever is weaker.

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, with a gesture from the on-site director, the live broadcast of "I Am the King of Singers" officially began, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.

"First, the sofa!"

"Guo Jiahe, I love you, come on, come on!"

"Wife Pigeon, I come to see you again, hehe!"

"I have prepared the insulin, come and sweeten me!"

The stage lights flickered, and amid enthusiastic applause, host Guo Jiahe came to the center of the stage holding a microphone and cue card.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch..."

The audience was very surprised to see that the host had been changed.

"Oh yeah, where's brother? Why did you change people?"

"Why did he change his position? He has to read from the hand cards, but Oh Ye Ge always improvises without a script."

"I won't watch it anymore. I'll watch the highlights that I can skip next weekend. I feel sick just looking at this face."

Except for Guo Jiahe's female fans, other viewers were not very satisfied, and even the initial number of online users in the live broadcast room declined.

Director Hong Bo looked at the intuitive data and the real-time feedback barrage and curled his lips.

It seems that the host must be changed back.

"Now, please welcome Su Xin to perform the song "One Night in Peking" for everyone."

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Su Xin took the stage, and the distinctive Beijing-style accompaniment sounded, making fans dream back to his peak.

The song starts off very well, and the English verse is also very catchy.

However, the chorus of the song is in operatic tones, and he made a mistake in singing it, and his voice sounded very strange, even a bit like a eunuch.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Inside the surprise singer's compartment.

The surprise male singer in the gorilla mask, as well as Dong Chen and Ji Yu, pushed the lever almost at the same time.

On the stage, a striking red light began to flash.

"Wow, the surprise singers went after Shin this time!"

"Their hands are so fast, as soon as the letter made a slight mistake, the light came on!"

The camera was focused on the surprise singer's cubicle.

"Damn it, one step slower!"

The male singer in the gorilla mask squeezed the lever hard in annoyance.

Looking at the flashing lights in the compartment, Ji Yu and Dong Chen looked at each other, extremely excited.

The only chance to stay on the stage is here! [Ding!]

[The cumulative task is opened. If the Leap Miracle surprise attack is successful, you will be rewarded with a random song. If the surprise attack is successful and you stay on the stage, the prize pool will accumulate for each additional period. ]

I went out to do some work during the day. I will definitely finish writing the stage tomorrow. If I can't finish it, I'll chop my bird off!      (End of this chapter)
