Zhang Yi came on stage, wiped his tears, and said with a smile: "I'm a little lost. Although it's not the first time I've listened to "The Ordinary Road", when I listened to it just now, I couldn't help but think of myself as a practitioner. When I was born and when I first debuted, 'I once crossed mountains and seas and also passed through mountains and seas of people; I once asked the whole world and never got the answer.' These two lyrics simply hit the depths of my soul."
Chen Minhao smiled and said nothing.
When others praise you, just keep smiling. In traditional Chinese culture, when others praise you, it may be out of politeness and politeness. If you accept it all, others will think you are too arrogant. However, China is also influenced by modern Western thoughts. If others praise you, If you choose to be humble, others will think you are not confident enough.
So just keep smiling.
Zhang Yi continued:
"I have a question, and I believe the audience here also has this question. Two years ago, you quickly became popular on the Internet for a video, and then you signed a contract with the well-known Shenmeng Agency in the industry as a trainee. Then you participated in "The Artist" "Trainer" has been smooth sailing, ranking first three times."
"Although this song made several old men in the audience cry, if I hadn't seen the video of your creation process, I wouldn't have believed that this song would have been written by a nineteen-year-old boy. Because I feel that your life is completely smooth sailing, how could you have the state of mind to create "The Ordinary Road"? Are you afraid that someone will say on the Internet that you created this song to compose new lyrics to express sadness?"
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and then said with an ugly face: "I never thought that I would not consider what others think when I create."
Chen Minhao felt happy, thinking that the fish had finally taken the bait. The songs are controversial, so it’s easier for me to tell stories.
"I think a singer's creations are all based on his life experiences, at least for me. The opportunity for me to write the song "Ordinary Road" was after we played the video of my parents at the hot pot restaurant that day, someone said to me I asked a few words, 'Did you have a hard time when you were a child?' 'I saw that your parents had a hard time.'"
"The night I returned from the hot pot restaurant, I couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep all night. I was thinking about two questions the whole night: 'Are my parents very hard-working?' and 'Did I have a hard time when I was a child?' "
"When I was a child, I didn't think it was hard work. After all, in my memory, especially in elementary school and junior high school, compared with my classmates, my family background was pretty good. At least my parents would often give me I have pocket money, so I can buy snacks at the canteen every time after school."
"As for my parents, as long as I can remember, when I wake up every morning, I can't see my dad and mom, because they have to get up very early every day to steam buns. When I grew up a little bit, the conditions at home were a little better. It’s getting better, but my parents still wake up early and work late at night.”
"So, I think my father and mother have a harder time."
"But it is not difficult to see from the video of the Mid-Autumn Festival that my parents' smiles were not staged. My mother also said in the video that I am their pride, and I think they are really happy. I recall that when I was a child, my family was very poor. Even when things are hard, they are so happy. So, I think if you ask my parents if it’s hard, they will definitely say no.”
"They are not lying, because they really feel that they are not working hard. In our small town, the parents of my classmates also feel like this. They work hard or do some small business, and then support their families." Just kidding, I feel that as the young owner of a steamed bun shop, I felt very happy when I was a child."
"We work at sunrise and rest at sunset. I can only use the word ordinary to describe my parents. Although it is a bit bad to say that my parents are ordinary, they really have not done anything great."
"But, in fact, they also had their own ideals. When my mother was young, she had a dream of becoming a star, but in the end due to some objective reasons, this dream came to an end. My father's dream before getting married was to become a successful businessman. He once went to Wuhan to wholesale leather gloves and sold them back to our town. Although the leather gloves were unsaleable in the end, he still has some gloves at home. Later, my dad’s dream after getting married was to buy a villa for my mom. It cannot be said that Dad’s two dreams ended in vain, but they have still not been realized.”
"So, when I wrote this song, I was thinking about my parents' experiences, and this song was actually sung to what my parents listened to, or ordinary people like my parents who were young and who had their experiences ideal."
As the host, Zhang Yi knew very well that Chen Minhao's answer was obviously over time, but he had no intention of interrupting Chen Minhao's speech, and instead continued to ask:
"To be honest, I originally thought you would sing a song with an inspirational or youthful theme like "Sing If You Want to Sing". After all, it is more in line with the current stage. Why did you choose such a song?"
Chen Minhao thought to himself that there is a reason why Zhang Yi is famous. He has a strong ability to judge the situation and add drama to others.
"I feel that since I was a child, I have always asked for things from my parents, but never thanked them. Now that I have grown up, I have gradually understood how difficult it is for them. Although in the video, my parents always pretend to be relaxed ,, but I haven’t been home as a trainee for a long time, and I know they miss me deep in their hearts. Therefore, I hope that on the stage of "Artist Trainee", I can write a song for them. It is considered a trivial matter. of concern.”
After speaking, Chen Minhao bowed deeply towards the audience.
Backstage waiting area.
Lin Xiuzi looked sad. Chen Minhao's words reminded him of his parents, whom he had not seen for almost a year. On the other hand, he was complaining in his heart. "Mmp, I slept like a pig when I came back after eating hot pot. I also said that I couldn't sleep and had no sleep all night."
Xiao Jing's face turned pale, and there were only four words in his heart, and trouble came from his mouth.
The show hasn't aired yet, but he may have imagined that a song of the caliber of "The Ordinary Road" has such a story behind it. The popularity is definitely very high! After all, the songs and the stories behind them complement each other.
You must contact your agent immediately, block the news, and not let others know those two sentences: "Did your parents have a hard time?" and "Did you have a hard time when you were a child?" He said it, otherwise he would be nailed The song "Ordinary Road" was on the pillar of shame.

In Chen Minhao's support group, the "Chen family's little tail" looked at his group leader Da Da Da with a confused expression, "the wind is light and the clouds are calm".
She racked her brains and couldn't figure out why the group leader was crying like this today. Even if you are older and have more experience, you will feel more deeply about this song, but you won’t cry like this.
When Chen Minhao walked off the stage, he felt a little more melancholy that he couldn't explain.
However, he did not forget to remind himself, "The fourth stage performance, the second step of the battle plan was perfectly realized."
He knew his audience wanted stories, so he decided to give them stories they could talk about.
Chen Minhao only regrets that he didn't listen to more songs in his previous life, and that he didn't have hyperamnesia or didn't have a system for time travel in his previous life. After all, in that case, all the works in his previous life could be put into his mind.
He encouraged himself: He is now at the starting line compared to others, and he has many songs in his memory. I want to use this trump card to become a global superstar step by step! It’s not in vain to travel here by yourself.
Where Chen Minhao couldn't see it, the Internet had exploded.

Author's words -
I finally got a recommendation on the Qidian APP one day, and was criticized by many people. However, I also saw some cute little ones encouraging me. Thank you very much.
When doing poetry appreciation in middle school and high school, we often start with the poet’s life experience. In fact, the same goes for songs. We often analyze a song based on the background of the singer.
In this world, "The Ordinary Road" was composed by Chen Minhao, and people will naturally analyze the song from his story.
In fact, when I listened to "The Ordinary Road" for the first time, I didn't know it was sung by Pu Shu. It really reminded me of my parents. Although they didn't open a bun shop, they did a small business in a small town. But they also had dreams in their hearts when they were young.
Nonsense, I won't say much more. Many people may think that the protagonist does not need to be so "competitive".
I won’t spoil the story for now. Just take your time and read it. I can’t guarantee that you will like every choice the protagonist makes, but I can guarantee that every choice the protagonist makes is of the highest IQ level.
