In anyone's eyes, Sui Qingchi's star journey should be so smooth, there is no reason for the ups and downs, but for some reason, after gaining fame so quickly, Fu Cuo felt that Sui Qingchi Suddenly disappeared. At first, he also suspected that it was his own illusion. There hadn’t been anything related to Sui Qingchi on the homepage for a long time. He found it strange, but no one paid attention to AK and Tan Si, maybe he just cared too much.
However, Sui Qingchi did suddenly fall into silence. He was not the only one who felt this way. All Sui Qingchi's fans noticed it, and even some Xifeng fans also noticed it. His Weibo stopped updating, no works, no Announcement, no endorsement, this state lasted for more than half a year. Fans checked in on his Weibo every day to ask him to report his safety, and went to the company's Weibo to ask and protest. The company didn't reply a word, and even Liu Mei closed the comments.
Fans made a big fuss once, and made a long Weibo that suspected the company Xuezang Sui Qingchi, now finally even Tan Si and AK knew about it, once AK got drunk and scolded Sui with the smell of alcohol Qing Chi: "He deserves it, let's start a fight now! Can those capitalists take him seriously? Are you stupid?!"
Fu Cuo felt sad when he heard it, and drank without agreeing.
He followed the various evidence given by Chang Weibo to search and verify on the Internet one by one. Sui Qingchi's disappearance was too unreasonable. It is very likely that he was really hidden by the company. It's very embarrassing to say, although it's just hearsay and gossip without any evidence, but Fu Cuo still can't help but believe it. Because that was too much like what would happen to Sui Qingchi.
When the band came back from the performance, the car passed by the commercial street. Fu Cuo saw on the light box of a certain young fashion brand. Sui Qingchi was replaced by an unfamiliar male artist. It seemed that suddenly, the style of this brand became much more docile. …
AK asked him curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Fu Cuo turned his head back: "Nothing."
AK turned his head to look in his direction, and saw the half-familiar artists on the light box advertisement, not knowing why.
Fu Cuo still remembers Sui Qingchi in the light box advertisement. The dark blue denim jacket was full of holes, but it complemented each other perfectly when he wore it. Sui Qingchi pressed the head of the red hummingbird guitar with both hands, casually Leaning on the ground, that rock-and-roll rebelliousness just disappeared in this commercial street.
What happened? Who did you offend? Even if it was hidden by the company, why didn't you say anything
On second thought, did he leave for too long and forget what kind of person he is? The more wronged he is, the less he can speak. Sui Qingchi's mouth is not good at anything other than singing. He kept silent for seven or eight consecutive months, not because he could bear it, but because his self-esteem was suppressing him.
Is he at the bottom, waiting for a rebound, or is he struggling and unable to rebound
Fu Cuo returned home and sat on the sofa for a long time wondering, others can ignore Sui Qingchi, the company can hide him, how can Liu Mei ignore him? She was the one who took Sui Qingchi away from Xifeng and promised him a bright future, but now...he thought of Sui Qingchi when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, that Sui Qingchi who had finally come out of his eccentricity, almost wanted to They were beaten back to the prototype.
He opened WeChat, and wrote four words under the avatar that he hadn't contacted for more than a year: What's wrong with you
Maybe he would regret sending it out, but he did it.
However, before he had time to regret it, he immediately received a reminder that the other party refused to accept it.
He was blocked by Sui Qingchi.
Not even sure when this happened.
He stared at the profile picture but couldn't recover until a new WeChat message popped up suddenly.
It was from He Bin, and he hesitated in his voice and said, "Fu Cuo, do you have time tomorrow?"
Loki came back. Not long after taking the exam, he was diagnosed with early gastric cancer. He had been treated for almost a year. The day before yesterday, the doctor told him that the cancer cells had disappeared. The first person he wanted to notify was He Bin. He wants to reconstitute Banana Fish.
"If you ask me what I want for the rest of my life, I still want to play music with you."
That's what Fu Cuo heard from He Bin's mouth when Loki called him.
He Bin finally left Xifeng.
Losing the lead singer again will undoubtedly make Xifeng worse, but this time Fu Cuo has been able to accept it calmly. He understood He Bin's feelings for Banana Fish, just like he felt for Xifeng.
When we came out to meet that day, he asked He Bin: "Is the band's name still called Banana Fish?"
He Bin nodded: "The name is Loki, so he can continue to use it if he wants. That guy is really, he didn't tell me when he was sick. I thought he didn't want me as a brother."
They waited in Starbucks for a while, and saw a person wearing a thick long down jacket and a hoodie push the door and walk in. Neither of them recognized at first sight that it was Loki, the handsome bassist.
Fu Cuo stood up, Loki stepped forward and hugged him, and said, "Thank you for taking care of my brother for me, sorry, I came to snatch him away."
Fu patted him on the back by mistake, and he patted him lightly, because the man's back had become too thin: "It was originally your man."
He admitted that when he watched He Bin and Loki leave, he wondered if that person might also run into trouble outside, and finally surrendered and came back.
That person could be Loki, maybe even M, but definitely not Sui Qingchi.
AK later found Fan Fan. Fan Fan reminded him of Dylan from a long time ago. They are both fans of Xifeng. Fan Fan is only one year younger than Sui Qingchi. There are also places influenced by Sui Qingchi in singing, and some endings are handled. , and the action of putting one hand in the pocket. Seeing Fan Fan singing and putting his hands into his trouser pockets, he didn't realize that the three of them were stunned for a moment, it was so embarrassing, but soon AK covered his mouth and laughed, leaning into Fu Cuo's ear, Suppressing a laugh, he said in a low voice: "He just puts it in his pocket, why are he shaking his legs, the cottage is still a cottage..."
After changing two lead singers in less than two years, Fu Cuo really had no confidence, no confidence in himself, no confidence in the band, and even less confidence in the new lead singer. Before joining the band, Fan Fan said something:
"Brother Wrong, don't worry, I'm not handsome, I'm sure no big company will poach me, and second, I've never played in a band, and I will never run away with my first love like Brother He Bin. Xifeng is My first love!"
Maybe he was really convinced by his joke. He needs these guarantees. Although he also understands that guarantees don't mean anything, it's better than nothing.
Besides, Fan Fan sang really well. Although it is not as good as Sui Qingchi, it is not lost to He Bin.
How well Sui Qingchi sang, in fact, he couldn't even remember.
Fan Fan became Xifeng's third lead singer, and naturally he was ridiculed for imitating Sui Qingchi, but perhaps because of Sui Qingchi's uncharacteristically silent, his fans now have no energy to besiege a new lead singer.
Fan Fan also curiously asked about their parting ways with Sui Qingchi. Fu Cuo even felt that part of the reason why he joined Xifeng was to find out the truth. It can be seen that he was very concerned about whether there was an online rumor between Sui Qingchi and them. deep hatred. Fu Cuo, of course, denied it:
"Different ideas, just parting ways, not so dramatic."
"I'll just say it! After all, it's a band, how can it be possible that they have no feelings for so many years?" Fan Fan asked with a reassured look, "Then why did Brother Qingchi cancel Xifeng?"
"Maybe the company asked him to cancel it." Fu Cuo said.
Fan Fan is a naive kid, basically he believes what he says.
I don’t know how long it has been like this. Once, after the band rehearsal, I went to have supper after the band rehearsal. After eating and drinking, after drinking for three rounds, when Tan Si went to the bathroom and AK and Fan Fan were punching wine, Fu Cuo suddenly heard a voice, The whole figure was struck by lightning.
The song that sounded after the piano accompaniment was charming and psychedelic, and even the breathing was just right, he felt like he hadn't heard it for a century.
Looking up in disbelief, Tan Si, who came back from the bathroom, didn't know what he was looking at. There is a TV hanging in the corner of the restaurant, and a vulgar idol drama is playing in it. The male and female protagonists are so hypocritical, but the singing in the background music makes the audience feel emotional for a moment, and find the explosive point of emotion.
AK, Tan Si, or Fan Fan called him, or maybe they were laughing at him for watching an idol drama so seriously, but he pricked up his ears, facing the TV hanging in the corner, completely forgetting himself.
No one could recognize it, maybe it was because the male and female protagonists covered the singing with those crappy lines, but he recognized it. It can't be someone else, even if the flowing graininess in the sound quality is so blurred that it can hardly be heard, he can still feel the glowing grains of sand flowing by his ears when he closes his eyes, accumulating, dispersing, and accumulating again...
The overall pitch of this song is not high, but low. The songs Sui Qingchi sang are all quite high. His bass is not familiar to the public, but this song has many bass passages. When his voice slowly Sliding down, like the bow of a cello pulled from the high register to the low register, that familiar and touching feeling, that kind of narrative-like emotional interpretation, he has heard countless voices in his life, only he fits.
It's been ten months, and he found the voice that had disappeared for almost a year in an episode of an idol drama at eight o'clock, and tears filled his eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The TV series was not popular on the Internet, but the song was sung by Sui Qingchi and became popular. People found the singer of the episode in the cast list at the end of the film, and everyone from fans to passers-by was blown away. After nearly a year of silence, Sui Qingchi and this new song became trending overnight, even driving up the ratings of the TV series that night. In the early hours of the morning Sui Qingchi finally posted on Weibo, he didn't say anything, he just shared a song he was listening to, not a TV episode, but Bon Jovi's "It's my life".
The fans seemed to be having a carnival in the middle of the night. Many people asked him what was wrong on Weibo, but Sui Qingchi didn't answer, but just liked a comment.
Summer Sun: Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
After his comeback, Sui Qingchi was even more unstoppable than before Xuezang, and the popularity remained high for a long time. When asked in an interview where he had been going for the past nine months, Sui Qingchi only said that he went back to school.
AK pointed at the TV and said disdainfully, "It's a lie!"
Fu Cuo guessed that there must be some secrets that Sui Qingchi didn't want to say, but his tone of voice in the interview sounded very chic, with a look of "I don't care about anything", so chic and fearless that Fu Cuo felt uncomfortable, and said What's wrong if you don't come out.
In the entertainment industry that year, Sui Qingchi was definitely an unavoidable name. He was included in all hot topics, and he was featured on the covers of all magazines. The traffic and topics he drives, good and bad, are endless. After being popular to purple, it seems to be a kind of necessity. It starts to be entangled in right and wrong. There are more and more negative comments. Some of them are the fault of fans, but There are also some Fu Cuo who know that they will never be able to shake off the fans. However, the love given to him by fans is too terrible. He is proud of his favor and has nothing to fear. Sui Qingchi has never dissuaded those aggressive so-called maintenance and protection. Fu Cuo knows him too well, so he will not dissuade him, because he To enjoy these, to enjoy these things that he never had since childhood, had had and been deprived of.
The black, black, red and red disputes are like his background color. Wherever he appears, he will be brought there, except for one place - the stage.
At the end of the year, Sui Qingchi's name suddenly appeared in the new season of "The King of Music", and he finally stood on the stage where Tang Du was once king. Sui Qingchi's debut in "The King of Music", everyone is guessing what song he will sing in the free choice round, he did not sing his own song, but sang Coldpy's "Viva La Vida", he sang a The glory and fall of the dynasty, the song was performed as magnificent as an epic with a singing voice that was as bright as metal. When the lights on the stage were all lit up and the audience stood up, a new peak of ratings was created at that moment. There are too many audiences in "The King" who were crying because of the sad and sad singing, but this is the first time that they shed tears for a kind of passionate and uplifting.
From the moment he boarded "The King of Music" and won the championship, Fu Cuo knew that nothing could stop him. The 24-year-old young man standing on the stage now, his pride and rebellion are integrated, he is the king of the new season of "Le Wang", and he will lead a new era.
After that, Xifeng also waited for the favor of fate. Fu Cuo himself did not expect that he would be able to wait for a company willing to sign with them. This time it turned out to be Hou Hai and Peng Shuai. Peng Shuai didn't say anything about Sui Qingchi's leaving the team, and the offer was still the same as before. Fu Cuo was in a very complicated mood. Peng Shuai smiled and said: "I told you that we are very sincere to bands that are serious about music. Lah." Fu Cuo said: "You told me at the time that one of the reasons why you wanted to sign Xifeng was because Sui Qingchi was very attractive..." He hadn't mentioned Sui Qingchi's name for a long time, and now that he said it, it felt solid Unfamiliar, like mentioning the name of a traffic star.
Peng Shuai waved his hand: "After Sui Qingchi left the team, I have been paying attention to you. I don't think he is the soul of Xifeng, but you are."
Fu Cuo is very grateful to him for saying this, but he is really confused in his heart. He has written so many songs, but the lead singer has gone and come and gone. There is always a sense of instability, not knowing where the direction is.
But there is no way out, Xifeng finally debuted, the band and fans are very happy, Fan Fan is also curious, asked: "Why do you seem to know handsome Peng?"
Tan Si and AK looked at each other and could only smile without saying a word.
Fan Fan didn't know that this was the second time Peng Shuai came to them. After going around, Xifeng still came to Houhai. Although no one blamed him from the beginning to the end, Fu Cuo felt very guilty. He made the wrong decision back then.
Without Sui Qingchi, the four of them suddenly had no differences at all, which made him feel sad. Each of them is like a gear, and Sui Qingchi's one has actually been unable to mesh with them, and has been reluctantly, even using its powerful kinetic energy to drive them. These gears belong to different places from the beginning, and they will definitely wear each other out after being together for a long time.
On the day of the signing celebration, AK drank wine and asked, "What do you guys want to buy when you get rich?"
"Buy a car," Tan Sisi said without thinking, "I bought a car and I will take you on a self-driving tour!"
Fan Fan threw a peanut into his mouth, thought for a while and said, "I want to buy my mother a house with an elevator, it doesn't matter if it's smaller!"
After he finished speaking, the table was silent for a while, Fu Cuo looked at Tan Si, Tan Si raised his hand and patted Fan Fan on the back, saying, "Hurry up."
"What about wrong brother?" AK asked.
Fu Cuo wanted to talk about buying a villa, but finally changed his mind: "Let's save up first."
AK raised his hand to give him a high five: "Ah, wrong brother, you are just like me! Oh, I want to make money when I have no money to make, but I don't know how to spend it when I have money..."
Fan Fan threw another peanut and said, "That means you are doomed to be poor!"
AK gave him a head, and Fan Fan was used to being hit by him, and he didn't take it seriously when he rubbed his head.
AK said with emotion: "It's only you who can bully me."
Fan Fan nodded: "That's right, I guess it's impossible for you to bully Brother Qingchi like this."
"Haven't I ever bullied him?" AK was not convinced, and asked Fu Cuo and Tan Si to testify, "I even asked him to buy water for me!"
Fan Fan raised his eyelids: "Did he buy it for you?"
AK said: "Of course! Bought me a bottle of Nongfu Spring!"
Fan Fan waved his hand: "Impossible!"
AK put down the wine glass, pulled Fan Fan over and pressed his head hard: "You stupid fan! Tell me! Are you among the fans of Sui Qingchi who scolded Xifeng on Weibo back then?!"
"No, no!" Fan Fan struggled and shouted, "How can I! I am Xifeng first, and my brother Qingchi's fan second!"
"Brother Qingchi doesn't even care about you!"
"I'm the lead singer of Xifeng now, Brother Qingchi will definitely see it!"
After signing the contract, they all moved to S City, where the company is located. The most intuitive change after signing the contract was that Fu Cuo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The rehearsal, recording, song tour, and tour were all guarded by the company. Apart from passing on the news, the captain himself finally I can concentrate on writing songs.
The desire to buy a car came true soon. On that day, Fu Cuo accompanied Tan Si to buy a car. Tan Si didn't keep any money on the card. He bought a Chevrolet Cruze and bought it for his little cousin. new mobile phone. Fu Cuo originally wanted to persuade him to save some money, but in fact he could understand his thoughts. He is spending a lot of money now because he has nothing to worry about, and he no longer needs to save money to buy a house with an elevator.
According to Tan Si, his aunt and uncle divorced at the beginning of the year, and his cousin called and cried to tell him the news. Fu Cuo also knew Tan Si's little cousin, and knew that she had loved Tan Si since she was a child. Fu Cuo still remembered that when they were in junior high school, they took the little girl who had a birthday together to go out to play. At that time, Miao Jingjing was only six years old. Holding their hands with each other, they swaggered in the crowd like a little princess. In fact, Tan Si didn't have much money at that time. She bought things for foodie Miao Jingjing along the way, and spent all the money in a while. The little girl Miao Jingjing was very moved. Seeing that there was no money in Tan Si's wallet, she cried He said that he would marry Tan Si when he grew up, which made them both very happy. Miao Jingjing has always regarded herself as Mrs. Tan since elementary school. Fu Cuo's impression of her has always been that she said solemnly, "You have to call me Mrs. Tan". After entering junior high school, the little girl finally felt a little embarrassed, but she still liked this cousin very much, and always said that her future husband in her mind should be like Tan Sige.
Tan Si bought that mobile phone, showed it to him on the way back to the car, and asked, "Will high school students like this now?"
Fu Cuo actually didn't know: "She must like everything you gave her."
"Oh, you don't know," Tan Si tapped the steering wheel and shook her head, "Actually, I'm not such a self-disciplined person like you. Sometimes I want to be self-willed and play bad, maybe I was forced out by her. There was a little girl who Just adore you so much, you won't be ashamed to mess around outside."
"Very good." Fu Cuo smiled.
"What's the matter?" Tan Si said, "My dream is to travel around the world one day. It's best to go to those desolate places without any restrictions. You can have as much fun as you want, but at this stage, I can only travel to the motherland on a budget. ,” he glanced at him with a smile, “then we will be together, and bring AK and Fan Fan with us!”
"Don't you bring Miao Jingjing?"
"You can't take her with you. If you take a girl on the road, you can't let yourself go!"
Fu Cuo looked out of the car window with a smile. Tan Si's car was always driving a little wildly, just like when he was SLAP. He didn't know if Tan Siji remembered, but they had such a conversation once, when he said that he would take Xifeng and Aunt Chen to travel around the world, and now this wish was finally beginning to come true, but things were different.
The car drove towards the bridge, and the huge Ferris wheel in the distance was slowly turning in the wind. I heard that it has now become the third largest Ferris wheel in the country. I don't know if Sui Qingchi will be more disappointed if he knows it, or if he doesn't care at all.
After that, Fu Cuo went back to his hometown and came here to sing with Xifeng. Although it was not the first time to revisit the old place, he still had a lot of emotions. AK took this opportunity to go back home, and Tan Si also went to his aunt's house with a gift. That day, Fu Cuo walked alone on the street, went to the high school where he graduated, and then went to the abandoned warehouse where he had rehearsed, the bookstore Still across the street, the warehouse has been demolished and turned into a construction site, and the basketball hoop is no longer there. He walked past the tube building in his hometown, the video store he frequented, and the noodle shop that had disappeared. When night fell, he passed Xinghe In the stadium, I suddenly heard the rumbling thunder that Tan Si said.
Stopping and looking back, what glowed in the night was not lightning, but a huge building that was closing the dome.
Sui Qingchi was there.
How many years ago did you first watch a LOTUS concert? He didn't think of it for a moment, he just felt that it seemed to be a long, long time ago. At that time, they were still underage, and their pockets were limited, so they could only buy the cheapest grandstand tickets, and stood on the top of the mountain to look at the superstar in the center of the stage, which was so far away from them. Who would have thought that Sui Qingchi would be standing there today, the man-made starry sky that once made him look up in amazement was no longer the exclusive privilege of LOTUS, and finally belonged to him. Belongs to him alone.
It turns out that this is called a world away.
It has been almost three years since Sui Qingchi left. In the past three years, Xifeng has changed two lead singers. When the second lead singer is settled, they finally have the opportunity to sign a contract and make their debut. As a band that has been established for almost seven years, these With ups and downs over the years, it gradually became known in the underground rock circle and independent music circle, but compared to Sui Qingchi's hurricane-like popularity, Xifeng is still like a snail. Everyone knows that the two lead singers who have changed are not comparable to Sui Qingchi. Although the fans don't say it on the surface, they often talk about Sui Qingchi as the best lead singer of Xifeng in private. In order to take care of He Bin and Fan Fan's vocal range and singing skills, Fu Cuo can no longer write songs as he pleases, but it's no big deal when he thinks about it. When he didn't know Sui Qingchi, he was also writing songs with shackles. A singer in the world, talented Talented people like Sui Qingchi are rare in the first place. Which composer is not writing songs in shackles? He just... just met Sui Qingchi and enjoyed the freedom of being released from the shackles for a moment.
He thought that he would never have another intersection with Sui Qingchi's life in this lifetime, until one time the rehearsal was over, Tan Si called out to everyone:
"Stay here, everyone, I have something to tell you."
After Tan Si finished speaking, he sat down on the floor in the rehearsal room. The three of them looked at each other and walked over to sit down. Tan Si opened the phone page and handed it to them.
Fu Cuo took the phone and saw that it was the official registration page for an online talent competition called "Band Frenzy".
AK opened his eyes wide: "You don't know, you want Xifeng to participate in this?"
Fan Fan took the phone over, swiped and pulled it twice, and said, "This organizer has done that idol group audition before, it's super hot!"
Tan Si looked at them and said seriously: "I want to give Xifeng a bigger stage."
Fan Fan looked at his phone and said, "Okay! I agree!" Then his voice suddenly rose an octave, "Wow?! Brother Qingchi is among the celebrity judges!!"
As soon as he finished talking about Fu Cuo, he was stunned, and AK was also stunned. Fan Fan happily handed them the phone. Fu Cuo looked at Sui Qingchi on the page, feeling indescribable for a moment.
As slow as Fan Fan, he also noticed something, and thought he had found an explanation: "Oh, don't be shy, although we are separated, but the friendship is still there!" After finishing speaking, he returned the phone to Tan Si and said, "Brother Tan , I think it will work! Maybe Brother Qingchi will give us some water because we were teammates before?"
Tan Si smiled: "I don't think about crooked ways, and Xifeng doesn't need someone to release water."
AK was a little hesitant, looked left and right, and said: "Brother Tan, you really want to participate, Sui Qingchi is inside, will people outside say anything..."
"You don't care what other people say," Fan Fan interrupted him, "as long as you meet the entry requirements, we don't go through the back door! Wrong brother, listen to me for your analysis, this show has brother Qingchi, and the ratings are absolutely absolute Not low, I think this is a great opportunity!"
Fu Cuo looked up at Tan Si. Tan Si's expression was very calm. He obviously knew that Sui Qingchi was the guest judge of "Band Frenzy", but he didn't know what Tan Si was thinking.
