Ling Xi, who was praised for being "smart", didn't know that An Ruifeng was following her Weibo. The reason is very simple. After he posted the last Weibo with the picture, Wu Youpeng confiscated all the devices that could connect to the Internet... In order to avoid future troubles, even the landline line at home was cut off by Wu Youpeng, because he was addicted to the Internet. The young Lingxi once desperately wanted to use the telephone line to dial up the Internet.
Computers, TVs, mobile phones, ipads... all electronic products that can be connected with modern life have been confiscated. Ling Xi guarded a guitar, a piano, a blank notebook and a pen, and fell into a deep draft hell among.
When he made his debut eight years ago, he was named a singer of "Creative School Tender Grass". Now that "Tender Grass" is no more, "Creative School" can never be lost again. This time, I wrote the ending song for "The World of Swords", which was regarded by Wu Youpeng as a good opportunity for him to turn around. Erti ordered him to hurry up and hurry up, and write songs with the creative energy that won the Grammys.
However, Ling Xi is a sheep-herding player, and he can't write it without inspiration. He has been chaotic at home for a week. Every time Wu Youpeng brings him meals, he sees him in a daze in front of the piano. He was originally a lively rutabaga , in just a few days, it became a dehydrated vegetable bag in instant noodles.
Half a month later, Wu Youpeng kicked Ling Xi's door open and woke him up, who was pretending to be holding a guitar.
"Get ready, you have an announcement on Saturday." Wu Youpeng said, "Look at your sluggish appearance. People who don't know think that my agent is abusing you."
Ling Xi scratched his messy hair: "Saturday? What day?" He didn't have a calendar at home, and his cell phone that could read the date was taken away.
"It's the day after tomorrow, I'll pick you up at ten o'clock in the morning."
"So anxious?" He stretched: "What show?"
"Sunday Live."
Ling Xi didn't stretch his waist, so he leaned over from the sofa. He hurriedly crawled back onto the sofa, unable to close his mouth in surprise. "Sunday Live" is a talk show type variety show imported from Condor Country. Generally speaking, there will be a fixed host, but each episode of "Sunday Live" will invite a different star Host, in the show, the star of the host often starred in several spoof sitcoms with the cast members of the show group, complaining about themselves and hot topics at the same time. In the gaps in the sitcom, singers will be invited to sing along.
This weekly program has lasted for more than ten years in Condor Country, and it has only been introduced to Panda Country in the last two years. Every Friday, the creative team of the program group will write stories based on the hot events of the week, which will be recorded directly in the studio on Saturday morning, and broadcast on Sunday afternoon. Because the content of the show is very time-sensitive, the big-name stars on the show dare to complain about themselves. Soon, this show has become a variety show upstart. It will line up the stars of the next season one season in advance, and every artist is proud to be on this show.
And Ling Xi, the 18th-tier singer, was never on the other party's invitation list.
"This time is really unexpected. Originally, the show was in charge of the recently popular xx band, but yesterday their band encountered a car rollover accident when they went out to record the MV, and everyone was injured. The program team contacted the rescue site. The singers are all out of schedule, and the call actually came to me... Ling Xi, have you been through the retrograde of the water recently, why are you lucky?"
"No, it's Angkor's well-connected people who helped me pick up so many good jobs!" Ling Xi waved his hand: "Let's go, let's eat some skewers!"
Ling Xi has been unable to write songs for the past few days, and has no appetite for eating. This time, a big job has fallen from the sky, and his stomach has "survived". Other singers have many taboos in order to protect their throats, but Ling Xi is fine.
Wu Youpeng accompanies him to a good meal, and the two drank heavily in the food stalls that night to celebrate the future of prosperity.

"Are you nervous?" On Sunday morning, Wu Youpeng drove Ling Xi to the studio building. Ling Xi's popularity has been tepid in recent years, and the number of announcements is far less than that of other artists. He really had great luck to meet the vacancy of "Sunday Live" and can come to be a singer.
Because he was too happy, when he walked from the underground garage into the elevator, he kept humming the song he was about to perform. This time he decided to sing the title song of his new album "zero" six months ago. In fact, his creative ability is very Excellent, but I can't always find the chance to become popular. I wonder if this is his chance
He was thinking about a bright future, the elevator slowly went up to the first floor, the elevator door opened, and an acquaintance he didn't expect appeared in front of him.
"...Ling Xi?" An Ruifeng looked at Ling Xi and his manager who were standing in the elevator in surprise. "It's such a coincidence that you guys also came to record the show?"
An Ruifeng is still so handsome today, Ling Xi is too lazy to think of words to describe his hair, his clothes, his temperament and the way he walks, because when he stands in front of Ling Xi, Ling Xi has lost his mind. Pay attention to the minutiae.
Wu Youpeng, who was behind Ling Xi, said politely: "Yeah, Ling Xi is lucky, and got the job as a guest singer in this issue of "Sunday Live". Originally, he has been working in seclusion at home, and now he is going to appear on the show. I'll take him out for a run."
As soon as they heard that Ling Xi was going to record "Sunday Live", An Ruifeng and Xu Zhiqiang next to him had an indescribably complex expression on their faces. Xu Zhiqiang said: "That's a great coincidence, we Ruifeng also came to participate in that show." After speaking, they walked into the elevator. No matter where An Ruifeng went, a mighty number of assistants, stylists, bodyguards, etc. followed behind them. They rushed into the elevator together and squeezed Ling Xi and An Ruifeng together.
Ling Xi was so squeezed that he was about to stick to An Ruifeng. The strong scent of men's perfume on the other side surrounded Ling Xi, as if a pair of invisible hands embraced him. Being next to a big star with a good face and many fans, Ling Xi inevitably felt a little frustrated: "I guess you are the host of this issue, right? I didn't expect you to be on a talk show."
"Well, I was surprised when I received the invitation. I didn't expect this kind of show to find me." An Ruifeng didn't talk about the matter in depth, and quickly changed the subject: "Since we said goodbye in N City last time. After that, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month, haven't we?"
"It's been so long... I've been locked at home every day. Wu Papi said that if I can't write a song, I won't be allowed to go out. I don't have any idea of a date now." He turned to look at An Ruifeng's profile, With concern, he asked: "Master, you have lost weight in the past two weeks, how much do you weigh now?"
An Ruifeng said a number and joked, "Xu Papi only let me eat cucumbers and tomatoes every day."
As an artist, complaining about an agent is definitely the magic weapon for getting closer. An Ruifeng and Ling Xi have a very common language. You describe the evil deeds of your agent in every word. The manager of the two was standing behind them, hearing their complaints, looked at each other, and shrugged helplessly.
The elevator stopped on the 13th floor, and An Ruifeng walked out first. When the staff saw him coming, they enthusiastically led him to the exclusive VIP dressing room. As for Ling Xi who was behind him... With his coffee seat, he could only share a room with others.
"I'll see you later!" Ling Xi waved happily to An Ruifeng. He was carrying his guitar behind him, and the big word Zero was written on the case—this was his foreign name and the name of the song he would sing this time. "Listen to my song seriously for a while!"
An Ruifeng nodded: "Then... see you later." He turned around and took a few steps. When he looked back, Ling Xi and Wu Youpeng had disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

When An Ruifeng walked into the special dressing room under the guidance of the staff, a camera was already pointed in his direction. An Ruifeng first politely greeted the camera crew, then quickly walked to the vanity mirror and sat down. The stylist came over to paint on his face, and the originally handsome face gradually faded. Covered in paint, it was all captured on camera.
In this show, there is no rehearsal, no NG.
All the performances of An Ruifeng and Ling Xi on camera will be faithfully presented in the program.
Next to the cameraman was a staff member, she asked An Ruifeng, "I saw Ling Xi leave just now, but you turned your head and glanced in his direction. Are you soft-hearted?"
An Ruifeng said helplessly: "It should be said that when I saw him in the elevator, my heart softened."
"It seems that your relationship with Ling Xi, Ruifeng, is as good as rumored on the Internet." The staff said with a smile, "We have all seen the photo that Ling Xi posted on Weibo, it's really eye-catching!"
An Ruifeng said with a smile: "Fans are just kidding, don't take it seriously.... But Ling Xi and I are really good friends. If I had known that he was the target of this villainy, I would never have agreed to your director's invitation unless he Double my appearance fee."
Suddenly, the dressing room burst into laughter. And Xu Zhiqiang, who was standing outside the camera, frowned slightly. He knew that what An Ruifeng said was true—not referring to the phrase "twice the increase", but if An Ruifeng knew in advance that the goal of this mission was Ling Hee's words, he really won't take this job.
Ling Xi and his agent did not know that what they received was not the big pie from "Sunday Live" at all, but the recently popular online spoof column "Scare☆surprise".
"Scare☆surprise" is an online variety show launched by xx video network. As the name suggests, each episode will send a large number of extras to perform street spoof activities, such as ghosts suddenly appearing in the corridors, and people driving on the road. Small boats, ghost babies left on the side of the road, etc... There are several episodes of this show that are very controversial, but the more controversy, the more clicks.
In several recent audience surveys, everyone said that they had seen enough of ordinary people who were spoofed and wanted to see "artists who were spoofed", so the program team spent a lot of money to invite An Ruifeng, and he came forward to spoof one. An artist, the specific method is to invite the other party to participate in "Sunday Live", and then during the performance, An Ruifeng will appear from behind him in a strange costume to startle the other party.
When taking over the job at that time, the director told An Ruifeng that the artist who was spoofed "although he cannot disclose his specific name, but he will be a friend of An Ruifeng." The stars all said hello in advance.
... But he never expected that it was Ling Xi who was invited.
An Ruifeng remembered how happy Ling Xi had just waved goodbye to him, and sighed silently in his heart.
-Ling Xi really really wanted to sing a good song on "Sunday Live". He was looking forward to this opportunity to become famous in the first battle, and even cheered for it. However, his efforts could only become "Scare" ☆surprise" audience's joke.
"Okay, the painting is over!" The special stylist who had been struggling for an hour on An Ruifeng's face made him stand up, and several staff members gathered around and helped him put on heavy special effects costumes. After spending another half an hour fixing the equipment on his body, everyone dispersed, allowing An Ruifeng dressed up to appear in front of the mirror without any cover.
In the mirror, a giant spicy crayfish with a red body showed a hideous smile at everyone with its teeth and claws.

Ling Xi, who was in the waiting room in the other direction, sneezed loudly, and the guitar in his hand played the wrong note.
Wu Youpeng made a fuss and said, "Why did you sneeze suddenly? Did you catch a cold? Oops, drink some hot water, don't suddenly drop the chain during the performance."
"It's alright," Ling Xi rubbed her nose. "It's just that I suddenly wanted to eat crayfish and lost my mind for a while."
