pain!

it hurts!

Head hurts!

The phone kept ringing.

Chen Minhao didn't remember how he got home at all.

I just remember meeting Kang Hui, Gao Dao, and Zhou Mingrui at the wine table yesterday. We drank wine, drank yellow soup, and then became confused and didn't know what the world was.

"You're not awake yet, are you?" Kang Hui's dissatisfied voice came from the phone: "I haven't answered your call for a long time."

When he heard Kang Hui's voice, Chen Minhao pinched his left arm holding the phone hard with his right hand to force himself to wake up.

Then he said in a low voice: "I'm already awake. What's wrong with Sister Kang?"

What comes to mind is still Kang Hui's heroic appearance at the wine table yesterday.

"Your drinking capacity is not bad. You will start to feel drunk when you drink 8 bottles of beer. Although you won't go crazy after drinking 13 bottles of wine, you will become unconscious. If you drink outside in the future, remember this is your bottom line."

On the one hand, Chen Minhao felt warm in his heart as he understood Kang Hui's intention of pouring wine yesterday. On the other hand, he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer this sentence.

"Please take notes on your schedule for next week."

Chen Minhao asked subconsciously: "Do I have an announcement now?"

Kang Hui chuckled and said, "It seems you haven't woken up yet."

Chen Minhao regretted it after asking. In order to avoid embarrassment, he immediately changed the subject: "Aren't the three of us training together?"

"Of course not. You only have four weeks to participate in "Artist Trainee". I can only give you the right medicine. I will give you strong medicine to make up for your shortcomings as soon as possible."

"Your main focus for the next week is to get fit."

"fitness?"

"Chen Minhao, you are really too thin."

Chen Minhao thought about it and thought that his body was indeed a little weak.

"Next week from Monday to Thursday at 10 a.m., you go to the gym on the 9th floor to find Kevin. Kevin is the fitness coach I hired specifically for you. Many crews will come to him when they need to gain muscle quickly. His classes are very effective, but they are very Expensive. After 4 weeks of training, I don’t need your biceps to burst your sleeves, but you can have tight lines and healthy sunshine. Remember, Kevin is very expensive. Asking him to come and take four classes is more than what you make in a month. A lot, so exercise hard and don’t waste the company’s investment in you.”

"Come to the recording studio on the 10th floor of the company at 10 a.m. on Friday." Kang Hui said with hidden meaning: "This is a resource that I used my personal relationship to obtain for you, but whether it succeeds in the end depends on you. To take advantage of."

"Sleep properly and remember not to eat anything spicy, smoke, or drink. Practice "Little Love Song" when you have time, but don't use your voice excessively. Remember! If you don't live up to your expectations, even Tathagata Buddha can't save you. you."

Chen Minhao immediately replied: "Sister Kang, I understand."

"I hope you don't just say nice things! Do you have any questions?"

"Does the company provide guitar training? I want to learn some guitar."

Chen Minhao didn't know much about music theory, which limited what he wanted to do.

The most intuitive impact is that because I don’t know music theory and don’t understand musical instruments, I can create an original tune without twists and turns. It can be accepted by others without complicated arrangements. But if I release “original” songs one after another, I’m an idiot. Everyone knew there was a problem.

"Guitar? You will be participating in "Artist Trainee" in four weeks. Are you sure you want to learn now?"

"Hmm, I actually taught myself guitar before I became a trainee." Chen Minhao said quickly.

Kang recalled that Chen Minhao was very good at writing "no" in the trainee report sent by He Tian, and then silently reduced He Tian's year-end bonus by another 20%. In her opinion, if Chen Minhao didn't know guitar at all, how could he create "Little Love Song"!

Without Chen Minhao's knowledge, he cheated He Tian again.

Kang Hui pondered for a moment: "Okay, let me make arrangements and contact you later."

Not five minutes after hanging up the phone, Kang Hui's call came in again.

"You go to practice room 5 on the 8th floor at 4pm on Monday. You can make an appointment with the guitar teacher yourself in the future. In addition, "Artist Trainee" may have sessions where you wear private clothes, so the company allows you to use 3,000 yuan as clothing. For the purchase fee, please bring the invoice to me for reimbursement after you buy the clothes."

Chen Minhao hesitated for a moment and said with a guilty conscience: "Sister Kang, can you give me the money directly first?"

After finishing speaking, Kang didn't hear any feedback, so he quickly added: "I will give you the invoice after buying it. Also, can I use part of the 3,000 yuan to buy a guitar?"

"Okay, no problem. I'll wait and let Wu Xiaoshuang transfer you 5,000 yuan." After finishing speaking, Kang Hui added softly: "Don't worry. Sooner or later, I will make your notices so busy that you can't finish them. Bank card The balance keeps growing. As long as you obey."

Chen Minhao's contract has not been adjusted in any way. It is still a trainee contract, but it feels like the treatment is completely different from that of a free-range trainee under He Tian. This kind of extra one-on-one guitar teaching from fitness coaches and teachers It was something I couldn't even think about before.

Both parties had a very tacit understanding and did not discuss contract changes. Both parties knew that the level of the contract depended on Chen Minhao's ranking in "Artist Producer".

Chen Minhao is very obedient.

Work out hard every morning. Although it is really tiring, the improvement brought about by fitness is very intuitive.

I learn guitar from my guitar teacher every afternoon, and I have to admit that there is really an insurmountable gap between professional and amateur. After learning some tips, the music I play sounds much smoother and more pleasant than before.

At twelve o'clock on Friday, Chen Minhao sat in the empty recording studio, lying on the table and counting the number of floor tiles.

From around ten o'clock to now, he has been left here for almost two hours.

In addition to last Saturday Kang replied: "Come to the company's recording studio on the 10th floor on Friday morning. Sleep properly and remember not to eat anything spicy, no smoking, no drinking. Practice "Little Love Song" when you have time, but don't overdo it. Use your voice.”

After that, Chen Minhao did not receive any other instructions.

Chen Minhao was lying on the table boredly. When he heard someone push the door open and come in, Chen Minhao stood up immediately. After seeing the person clearly, he said: "Sister Kang."

Kang Hui came accompanied by a middle-aged man with a very kind face. The first thing that struck Chen Minhao was that of Maitreya Buddha.

Wu Xiaoshuang followed closely behind the two.

Chen Minhao took a few steps forward quickly, and Kang Hui showed a warm smile at the right time: "This is Teacher Wu Hongrong."

Chen Minhao said seriously: "I have admired you for a long time, and I am very happy to see you today." and prepared to step forward to shake hands.

Wu Hongrong had no intention of extending his hand, and imitated Chen Minhao's serious tone and replied: "Where have you heard of my name? How happy do you feel?"

Chen Minhao was completely stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would not follow the routine at all.

Wu Hongrong does not exist in the memory of the original owner. But seeing Kang Hui's serious attitude, he guessed that this person was not simple, so he kept his posture low. But I never expected that the other party's brain circuit was so weird.

Kang Hui saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly explained: "He Ziyang is Mr. Wu Hongrong's stage name."

When I heard it was He Ziyang, I felt like thunder.

He has been a music producer for many platinum albums, and is also the producer of many film and television hits. He secretly lamented that Kang Hui is so energetic.

Because Wu Hongrong was frank and natural, Kang Hui was worried that Chen Minhao would be too prepared and behave too deliberately, which would displease Wu Hongrong, so he didn't say anything in advance.

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world!

Wu Hongrong turned to look at Kang Hui and said, "Is this the musical prodigy you praised God for on the phone? Does it look ordinary to you?"

Wu Xiaoshuang suddenly interrupted: "Chen Minhao is super handsome. Why does he look average?"

Kang Hui smiled awkwardly but politely: "Music can't be seen just by looking at it." Then she turned her head and glared at Wu Xiaoshuang.

Wu Hongrong nodded slightly, looked at Kang Hui and said: "I want to emphasize again, I did not agree to help with the demo. I just came here to listen for your sake."

Chen Minhao was unhappy because he had waited for a long time, and the other party had such an unabashedly disgusted attitude. He was very unhappy inside. Even if the other party is a gold medal producer, so what? In his opinion, respect should be mutual.

Wu Hongrong looked at Chen Minhao, who was empty-handed, and said disdainfully: "Do you want to sing a cappella?" His eyes were narrowed into a slit, staring at Chen Minhao.

Kang Huifeng said to Chen Minhao calmly: "Teacher Wu Hongrong is indeed very strict with music." He turned to look at Wu Hongjun and said: "However, Chen Minhao is indeed weak in musical instruments. The company is also stepping up training. Today you will start with Can you listen to the a cappella version?"

Harsh about music? Chen Minhao could only discern four words from Wu Hongrong's expression - she was so bitchy.

He felt that he was really blind, so he felt that the other person looked kind at first.

I secretly warned myself: Don’t judge people by their appearance!

Chen Minhao said sincerely: "I have recently learned a little guitar. I will accompany myself on the guitar."

Chen Minhao felt unhappy, but he knew what was more important.

"It's available in the practice room No. 5 on the 8th floor. I'll get it right away." Wu Xiaoshuang unexpectedly winked this time.

"I'll go with you!" Chen Minhao imagined that the scene of three people waiting for the guitar must be very embarrassing, so it was better to leave.

Wu Xiaoshuang and Chen Minhao didn't delay and went back after getting it.

Before pushing the door open, Wu Xiaoshuang whispered: "Come on."

Chen Minhao also whispered "Yeah" in a low voice. I thought I would let him know later what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

The two of them pushed the door open together.

He has already mastered this song "Little Love Song". He hums it at the gym every morning and practices it while playing guitar in the afternoon.

So when Chen Minhao's fingers plucked the strings, he entered the state, and his voice was clean and warm.
