Chapter 19 Ghost Variety Show (1)
Zhang Kaifa was a man of some skill, always promising you some results before demanding an exorbitant price. Ying Zhisheng had heard that he had done things for people in his circle and was a bit of a celebrity.
The lights in the cramped rental house were dim, good and bad slippers were scattered on the floor, and a pile of dirty, unwashed clothes hung on the shelf.
Zhang Kaifa had moved. Helping others meant offending a lot of people, and people were looking for him everywhere, so he was used to hiding from them.
Ying Zhisheng, dressed in designer clothes, looked out of place. He took off his mask to reveal his handsome profile, and leaned against the wall, looking at people with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Ying Zhisheng didn't want to waste time, so he said directly, "I'm going out of town to record a variety show this time, which will take more than two months. I plan to bring Lou Sheng with me."
"You..." Zhang Kaifa pretended to drink Sprite. Ziha sighed and shook his head: "Now that you can see Lou Sheng, you plan to let him go free?"
Ying Zhisheng raised his eyelids impatiently: "Do you think it's possible? The world is so big, and he's still a ghost. If I let him go free, will he come back to find me?"
What's more, Lou Sheng is a sociable person who can get along with anyone. Less than two weeks after the two quarreled, Lou Sheng had a new friend around him and was willing to spend the whole night online.
Thinking of this, Ying Zhisheng had a hint of mockery on his face. Let Lou Sheng go free? I'm afraid that after he dies, Lou Sheng won't even remember him.
Zhang Kaifa understood his employer's request: "You mean, you want me to remove the restriction that trapped Lou Sheng in the house, but Lou Sheng can't leave you, right?"
"right."
"You have Lou Sheng's ashes in your hands. He can't live without you."
Ying Zhisheng felt that communication was difficult and said irritably, "I'm going to participate in a music variety show in another city this time, and I want to bring Lou Sheng with me."
Zhang Kaifa curled his lips speechlessly, "Can't you just be more patient? He's in your house anyway and he can't run away. Why do you have to bring him with you?"
Even so, Zhang Kaifa already had an idea. He knocked on the table, and the dishes and chopsticks clattered. "Get a memorial tablet for Lou Sheng. After you offer your sacrifices, carry it with you. The memorial tablet will be Lou Sheng's temporary home. That way, you can take him with you to other places."
Ying Zhisheng glanced at Zhang Kaifa and reluctantly accepted the suggestion. "I'm almost finished with the goods you gave me last time."
Zhang Kaifa opened his mouth wide while eating the cold dish, almost spitting out the food in his mouth in surprise. "It's only been a few days, and you've already used it up! I'm telling you in advance, if you use that thing too much, you'll only die early! Yin and Yang are relative, didn't you know? When Yang Qi is unbalanced, Yin Qi enters the body, making you weak and sickly and unable to live long!"
He answered word by word with a firm voice: "I understand."
…
Lou Sheng was in a very good mood.
Ying Zhisheng wants to take him to another place to participate in a program.
Lou Sheng was placed in a black cloth bag on Ying Zhisheng's lap. The ride was smooth and almost bumpless. With him there, there was no need to turn on the air conditioning in the chilly car.
The nanny van was spacious, its windows covered in one-way film, which not only prevented prying eyes but also provided sound insulation. A soothing English song played as Fuquan reviewed program preparation materials on his computer. Assistant Tao shivered.
"Brother Fuquan, it's so cold."
Fuquan didn't even look up. "This is the weather, so hot and cold. Keep warm, don't catch a cold and infect Ying Zhisheng. He has to sing on stage in a few days."
Assistant Tao said with a bitter face, "But Brother Fuquan, my phone shows that the lowest temperature today is 29 degrees Celsius. It shouldn't be so cold in the car that you're shivering."
It started again! One by one, two by two, they kept talking about ghosts and gods!
Fuquan rolled his eyes at him and didn't even bother to speak.
Ying Zhisheng clutched his bag tightly, tilting his head to inconspicuously glance at Lou Sheng, who was sitting in the back seat, unable to conceal his anticipation. His smile curved slightly, but when he noticed Lou Sheng tentatively reach out to touch the sunlight and then withdraw it in fear, his smile faded, replaced by a heavy gloom.
Before arriving at the hotel arranged by the production team, the road ahead was blocked by a bunch of fans holding cheering signs, shouting, screaming, pushing and shoving. A man with purple-black hair and sunglasses got out of the car in front. He was tall and flamboyant and didn't forget to turn around and blow kisses to everyone.
Lou Sheng glanced at Ying Zhisheng a few times. This person was Sun Qing, who was hailed as the new generation singing and dancing king. His concerts were exaggerated and bold, and his creativity had many famous scenes.
Lou Sheng compared the energetic and high-spirited Sun Qing with the lifeless, decadent and listless Ying Zhisheng, and immediately became worried about this stage competition.
Sun Qing became a pop star thanks to his immense stage presence. Yet, Ying Zhisheng's title as a music king has been denied by many haters for years.
Fuquan's expression grew serious. "Sun Qing is quite capable. He's had several hit songs over the years."
Ying Zhisheng had seen the list in advance and wasn't surprised. Hearing Lou Sheng praise the purple-black-haired guy for being cool and handsome, he lowered his hat brim to shade his eyes and suddenly mentioned, "My look on the cover of last June's magazine was similar to his."
"Oh! Do you mean that netizens will compare you with Sun Qing? Don't worry, it's not scary if the styles are similar. Whoever is ugly will be embarrassed!" Fu Quan slapped his thigh. He didn't want to cause so many disputes and grievances before the show started.
Ying Zhisheng closed his eyes, lost in the darkness, and said, "What I mean is, I'm better looking than Sun Qing. If you don't believe me, you can find photos online for comparison." Then he felt a cold air rush over his hair, which had been crushed by his hat. It was Lou Sheng approaching.
Fuquan looked up in disbelief. "Ying Zhisheng, are you so narcissistic now? Don't be so complacent. The entertainment industry is so big and beauty is in everyone's eye. Maybe someone just thinks Sun Qing is more handsome than you with the same outfit."
At this time, a comparison picture of Ying Zhisheng and Sun Qing's similar looks was posted on the Internet, triggering heated discussions and fights among fans of both sides.
Meanwhile, the official Weibo account for the music competition variety show "Music Summit" announced the eight invited guests: @Ying Zhisheng @Sun Qing @Crazy Band Lin Wang @Crazy Band Lin Chi @Zhang Xingset @Qingyue Media-Qi Chang @Jiang Huoda @I'm the Bravest^Jian Qian [fist [fist]] Xiaofeng welcomes everyone and will not let you down! These are all big names this time! Whose performance are you most looking forward to? [Think] [Think] Come and vote! ! #MusicSummit
As soon as the list was released, it caused an uproar.
Ying Zhisheng's participation was completely unexpected to everyone, even his fans were completely unaware of it.
Anonymous user 7763: They actually invited Ying Zhisheng. Is this Ying Zhisheng's first variety show?
[The Whole World is My Dog: Wow wow wow wow! What a lineup that will rock the music scene! Woo woo woo Sister Zhang Xing, I love you! You’re the best!]
[Anonymous User 96: This is hilarious! Jian Qian can even compete on the same stage with Ying Zhisheng and Zhang Xing. They just sing silly little sweet songs.]
[I'm Your Daddy Daddy D: I'm participating in a variety show after having a baby! But anyone with a discerning eye can see that I've been feeling down about having a baby lately, and I can't really muster up any energy...]
Anonymous user 563 replied to "I am your father...": Indeed, our fan group was discussing this a while ago. If your condition is too bad, it's better not to participate. Sigh, I don't know what Fuquan General Manager is going to do!
Anonymous User 007: "No one's paying attention to our band, Crazy Man? This is truly youth. Young people all say Ying Zhisheng is youth, and I really want to laugh. Ying Zhisheng just graduated from college not long ago, right?"
[Hohohahey: Ying Zhisheng is young, but he became famous early. He was famous at the age of 15 and his songs became hits. Who hasn't heard Ying Zhisheng's songs in the past 8 or 9 years? What's wrong with youth?! ]
…
There was a huge quarrel.
Ying Zhisheng scrolled through the comments on his phone. He usually scanned them quickly, but this time he read them slowly. There was nothing he could do; there was someone around him who just loved reading every comment.
Lou Sheng frowned. "Ying Zhisheng, click on it and let me see what other stupid things this anonymous user 007 said! These days, even pigs have learned to rant on the internet!"
"It's nothing to worry about." Ying Zhisheng said this, and still clicked on 007's cross-dressing remarks that were fanning the flames everywhere.
"This shameless hater! He even spread rumors about you having plastic surgery, saying you had double eyelids! Can't he see that you have double eyelids?"
Ying Zhisheng felt like laughing.
Lou Sheng hurriedly urged, "Quick, open this hater's homepage and let me see! I want to see who he is and which obscure celebrity he's a fan of!"
Ying Zhisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head and clicked on Anonymous 007's homepage to browse. It was undoubtedly full of vicious insults and terrifying curses directed at him. At this moment, the car suddenly braked slamming on the brakes -
"Hey, what's going on!" Assistant Tao shouted fiercely.
"Jiang Huoda arrived, and his fans rushed over without caring about their lives, almost crashing into him."
After the driver finished explaining, Ying Zhisheng looked outside the car and saw a messy scene. Jiang Huoda was waving his hands to refuse an autograph while talking to the fans who had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, Ying Zhisheng." Lou Sheng called him.
Ying Zhisheng turned around and heard another voice say, "You just braked and accidentally liked Anonymous 007's comment! It just happened to be the one that spread the rumor that you're 169cm tall!"
