Ling Xi was discovered by a scout in an underground passage. At the time, he was wearing a school uniform, holding a guitar, sitting on a pony that he brought with him, and playing his original songs. The young man looks clean, his voice is clean, and his smile is clean.
The scout threw twenty dollars into the piano box in front of him, chatted up with him, and asked him if he wanted to be a star.
Ling Xi said: I think.
The scout asked him: Oh, what's your name then
Ling Xi told him his name.
The scout is curious: Ling? This surname is quite rare.
Ling Xi raised her head to look at him, her eyes were naive: how could it be, Ling Bo Li is not Ling.
Immediately, the scout decided that he must accept such a mentally retarded child.
A few days later, Ling Xi was brought by her parents to the agency to sign a contract. The three members of the Ling family have the same aura, which can be called casual innocence or indifference. Ling's father flipped through the contract. He didn't hire a professional lawyer, and he didn't raise any objections. He turned around and said to Ling Xi, "Son, sign it."
Ling Xi said, "Eh."
The scouts looked anxious and asked them if they wanted to revise some terms - although the brokerage companies generally wouldn't agree to the revisions they proposed.
Ling's mother waved her hand: "There's nothing to fix, he can't be popular anyway."
At that time, the second character of Ling Xi's name was still written as "Xi". The scout watched helplessly that the boy even spelled his own name wrong. He wrote the right half of the word "Xi" three times, and finally painted it on the contract. Got a big pimple. Ling Xi dropped the pen and asked, "Can I write Pinyin?"
Of course not.
Ling Xi reluctantly took out her ID card, looked at the word "Xi" on it for a long time, and said angrily, "When I finish signing the contract, I will change my stage name as soon as possible."
At that time, Ling Xi strongly demanded that his stage name be changed to "Xi", from "Xi" to "Xi", which was a reduction in quantity and a leap in quality. However, the brokerage company felt that the word "Xi" was not a good sign. In the end, both sides took a step back and used the word "Xi".
After changing her stage name, Ling Xi entered the intensive training. Ling Xi was 15 years old when he signed the contract, and he had just entered the first year of high school. He only had time to go to the company for training on Saturdays and Sundays and during the winter and summer vacations. After two years of protracted training, the company felt that it was almost the same, and sent him to participate in the singer contest. Tian Nanhai Bei's participated in a circle, and finally won a third place in the country in the year he graduated from high school.
The third place in the country doesn't sound like much, but for the Pheasant Brokerage Company that signed Ling Xi, it is already the most awesome award their artists have ever won.
Wu Youpeng, the scout who discovered Ling Xi at the time and who has also been his manager for the past three years, was very happy. He dragged him to eat, drink, and dance all night. Ling Xi was also very excited. He won the first award, and he can almost see himself taking the title of song king and walking to the peak of his life to marry Bai Fumei's future.
After graduating from high school, Ling Xi went to a music academy to make a name under the activities of a brokerage company. Ling Xi is quite talented in music, plus he just won the award and has this buff bonus, and the first album he released subsequently won a lot of prizes, and the title song "Ling Xi in the Heart" swept the major music rankings. list. For a while, the dollar stores, clothing stores, and hairdressers on the streets were filled with his songs.
He also got a "pet name" from Hei Hei - the King of Songs in the Two Dollar Store.
Probably because of the curse of this name, all the albums after Ling Xi sold were quite average, but they were widely found in massage parlors that engaged in special services, grocery stores selling small headbands and small brooches, and the big brothers of migrant workers. Among the power cottage mobile phones, several are regarded as divine comedies, which are deeply loved by square dance choreographers.

"Ling Xi, I took countless connections to win this opportunity for you. You must seize it, OK?" Wu Youpeng's mouth has not stopped for a moment since he got on the plane.
Instead, it was Ling Xi who had been nagging him all the way. There was no sense of tension on his face. When the flight attendant passed by him, he quickly grabbed the other party's skirt, shook the empty cup in his hand, and asked shyly: "Any more orange juice?"
Wu Youpeng rolled his eyes in anger. Ling Xi is 26 years old this year. Except for the first album that sold well, the sales after that have not been as good as the previous year, and the number of clicks on the Internet is also quite average. Fortunately, his songs have always occupied the top five downloads of color ringtones by major telecom companies. Although this income is not high, it can also block the mouths of company leaders.
It's just that there are many newcomers in the circle now, and the "tender grass" image that Ling Xi played when he first debuted has long been buried by the current "fresh meat" - look, no one can recognize Ling Xi in the economy class of the plane!
This time, Wu Youpeng lost countless old faces through old friends, and finally helped him win the opportunity to sing the ending song for a certain ancient costume fairy tale idol drama, and the screenwriter has known him for several years. He said that one of the script only appeared in a few episodes. The small role of Ling Xi can be played! This is Ling Xi's first "electrical shock", and this good news made Wu Youpeng happy for a few days without a good night's sleep.
Ling Xi, however, was able to keep his composure—or call it heartless—but he wasn't nervous at all, and he even asked the flight attendant for another lunch!
The stewardess shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, the lunch has been distributed this time, and there is nothing left."
Ling Xi looked surprised: "But I just saw a dining car pushed back from the front, and there was still a plate of lunch on the dining car that didn't move."
The stewardess said: "Sorry, that plate is not used by the first class passengers in front. The lunch in first class is different from the lunch in economy class. I can't..."
Ling Xi interrupted her: "Do you know who is sitting in front of you now?"
"…?"
Ling Xi: "I'm the king of singers in the two-yuan store - uh!"
Wu Youpeng quickly covered Ling Xi's mouth before revealing his name. This ancestor really has no idol burden at all!
The flight attendant rejected him: "I'm really sorry. But we still have a few extra breads here. I can get them if you need them."
Ling Xi nodded in frustration: "Bread is fine, but you have to give me two boxes of butter."
Wu Youpeng's nose is crooked, and Ling Xi is naturally thin, so she can't get fat no matter what. In the entertainment circle where thinness is the beauty, his physique is really enough to make people jealous. He is very greedy, and regardless of the quality of the food, he can eat as long as he can. No matter how big things he encounters, it will not affect his appetite. He is so anxious about Ling Xi's interview now that Ling Xi should eat and drink, and he is not in a hurry at all.
As the saying goes, extreme joy leads to sadness. Ling Xi drank cold drinks and ate bread. After a while, he felt his stomach growl. He quickly stood up and ran straight to the toilet. But the two toilets on the front and back of the plane were full, and the queue was super long. Ling Xi still wanted to make fun of himself at this time: If he pulls his pants on the plane, can he make headlines? ... Alas, it is estimated that the entertainment version of Toutiao won't be his turn in this life, but the social version can fight for it.
Ling Xi was fair and handsome, and a flight attendant moved with pity and told him secretly: There is a dedicated bathroom in the first class cabin, if he is in a hurry, he can take him there. Ling Xile blossomed, and the "good sister" kept calling.
The flight attendant praised his sweet mouth with a smile, and after leading him to the curtain of the first class cabin, opened a small entrance for him. "Come on, there's a star on this plane, don't take pictures."
Ling Xi agreed readily, and thought with disdain: The star is right in front of you.
Ling Xi had a clear goal, and as soon as he got to the first class cabin, he went straight to the toilet. The first-class cabin was very empty, Ling Xi saw a man wearing a mask and sunglasses sitting in the other aisle, and there were people sitting on the front, back, left and right of him. Ling Xi had never eaten pork, but had seen pigs run countless times. With a beeping of radar on his head, he was sure that those people were the escorts, managers, and assistants of the man with sunglasses.
The toilets in first class are much more spacious than those in economy class. The toilet seat is covered with a plastic film that automatically covers it. The toilet seat is not only hot, but there is a small nozzle that sticks out to wash the buttocks after pooping. Ling Xi wanted to fight quickly, but the small nozzle for washing his buttocks was too comfortable. The water flow was neither slow nor slow, and the water temperature was neither too cold nor too hot. It took him five minutes to poop and ten minutes to wash his buttocks.
He really likes this kind of smart toilet seat so much, if there is no socket reserved next to the toilet in his house, he will definitely install one at home.
He was about to get up when he suddenly heard the voices of two men outside the door.
"Brother Xu, I just use the bathroom. It's just a few steps, so there's no need to follow me, right?" The voice of the first man to speak was very nice, and Ling Xi felt a little familiar.
"How about that? You have tomato and cucumbers every day these days. I have to watch you every step of the way. What if you suddenly fainted in the bathroom?" in the thirties.
"Don't let me go on a diet if I'm going to faint." The first man smiled wryly: "Look at the movie you gave me, this character was poor and emaciated in the early days, I was half-starved every day, so the director was not satisfied. ."
Ling Xi understood, it was estimated that the mysterious "Brother Sunglasses" and his manager were outside the door. Brother Sunglasses was losing weight recently for the role. The manager was afraid that he would starve to death, and even followed him when he went to the toilet, for fear that he would take a bath. Shit will die.
Ling Xi pricked up her ears and listened carefully, hoping that the two of them would reveal the true identity of the sunglasses brother when they had a conversation. There is always no shortage of gossip in the entertainment industry. He absorbs more nutrients and goes back to Wu Youpeng.
"By the way, what did that kid do in the first class cabin just now?" asked the manager of Brother Sunglasses.
"The flight attendant came over just now to apologize and said that the guest brought him in if he wanted to use the bathroom." Brother Sunglasses replied.
"What kind of apology!" The agent snorted disdainfully: "Those flight attendants obviously took the opportunity to come over to have a few more words with you... You are so good at talking, you agree to sign autographs and take photos... , don't stare at me, you are right to the people, I'll shut up, okay?"
Brother Sunglasses hummed softly.
Ling Xi was very envious on the toilet, when would he be able to communicate with Wu Youpeng so stubbornly? Wu Youpeng is obviously his manager, but he is stricter than his father. Often Wu Youpeng stares at him, so he can only do things obediently.
The agent outside the door asked again, "But why didn't you see that kid leave?"
Brother Sunglasses replied: "It is estimated that he left during the group photo just now. There are so many people that we can't notice it."
Ling Xi snickered silently: These two people were so stupid, he hid in the first-class toilet, and he overheard their conversation completely, didn't they realize that the toilet door was locked from the inside , the door also shows a red locked...
What the hell!
It turned out that the stupid one was Ling Xi! He was in a hurry to go to the toilet just now, and he didn't lock the door at all after entering. It is estimated that the state outside the toilet is unmanned, so the guy in sunglasses and his manager are chatting at the door, and they are not afraid of being eavesdropped.
Brother Sunglasses is still talking: "Okay, you go back, if I haven't come out of the bathroom for too long, you can come to me again."
Can't let him in! He wants to carry his idol baggage for a while longer! Helpless, the toilet in first class was twice as big as in economy class. Ling Xi sat on the toilet and stretched her arms out to reach the latch of the door, and someone outside the door was about to walk in...
Ling Xi didn't do it for a while, and without even bothering to lift his pants, he threw himself at the latch. Unfortunately, at that very moment, the plane suddenly bumped heavily in the airflow, and the folding toilet door was impacted. Without anyone touching it, it popped open with a bang. …
Brother Sunglasses: "… "
Brother Sunglasses' agent: "..."
Ling Xi, who was naked and pouted: "… Hi?"
