Yin Chang didn't pay much attention to Shao Junling's bold words. It may be that the child has a stronger personality and cannot be provoked.
But looking at each other, Yin Chang remembered what Yao Manhuai said that day...
— If Yoon Dong asked you if you would like to go with him every time he went out to work, what would you think
—You can ask him, give him 5 million, let him record a show with you during the summer vacation, and see if he is willing.
…
Yin Chang sighed softly, but stopped talking.
He could guess that Shao Junling would definitely agree. There are very few things that children can think of. For him, it may be to go out with him and get money. There is nothing better than this. But he doesn't know how many "flood beasts" there are in the outside world, even if he explains it to him now, he still doesn't understand.
In mid-March, Yao Manhuai personally took Yin Chang to Beicheng to meet a well-known musician in the industry. She planned to release a single for Yin Chang in the first half of this year.
The musician's surname is Ye, and his name is Ye Zheng. He opened a music production company in Beicheng, gathered a lot of talents, and made songs for many popular idols in the circle, but few people can hire him. Do it yourself.
This time Yao Manhuai came to him and said that he wanted to create a song for Yin Chang, and he agreed.
Ye Zhengming looked to be in his forties, meeting Yin Chang was like an elder meeting a younger generation, and kindly greeted him to sit in his office.
Yao Manhuai originally wanted to follow in, but he drove him out with a wave of his hand: "I made songs for him, not for you, go and go, you go outside and wait."
It was the first time Yin Chang saw someone dare to treat Yao Manhuai like this, and he couldn't help being a little impressed by this person, but being able to speak like this just proved that Yao Manhuai's relationship with him was extraordinary.
Entering his office, Yin Chang saw that it was in a mess. There were scattered music scores on the table and on the floor. There was a piano by the wall, and the guitar was placed on the ground.
Ye Zhengming didn't care about how to treat guests, he lit a cigarette as soon as he sat down, and asked Yin Chang to talk about things related to himself while smoking.
Facing a stranger, Yin Chang didn't know what to say, he could only say Yin Dong. Yin Chang said that Yin Dong's departure had a great impact on him, and it was because of Yin Dong that he embarked on this path. However, he often feels at a loss recently.
Ye Zhengming asked him a few questions at first, but he didn't interrupt later, and let Yin Chang speak for himself, saying whatever came to his mind.
After listening to Yin Chang talking intermittently for more than half an hour, Ye Zheng finally said: "You haven't come out of that incident yet."
Yin Chang was startled, seeing the other party pressed the cigarette butt, and said again: "Xiao Yao shouldn't have let you enter the circle so early."
Yin Chang was thinking about the meaning of the other party's words, Ye Zhengming had put away his emotions and said: "Okay, I know how to write it, you can go back and wait, and I will send it to you after writing it."
Yin Chang added Ye Zhengming's WeChat account. At first he thought it would take a while for the other party to write a song, but he didn't expect that the next morning, the other party sent the lyrics and a demo of the score to his mobile phone. The message was also very simple, just two words: "Listen."
At that time, Yin Chang had just boarded the plane back to Haicheng with Yao Manhuai. He downloaded the song, put on headphones, and listened to the lyrics. As a result, he never stopped listening to it, and the single was repeated in the earphones over and over again. By the time the plane landed, he had already memorized the lyrics involuntarily.
Yao Manhuai fell asleep on the plane, woke up and saw Yin Chang looked sad, and asked him what was wrong.
Yin Chang took off the earphones, shook his head, and said with a faint smile, "Ms. Ye sent me the song, and I just listened to it all the way."
Yao Manhuai was surprised: "The speed is so fast? Send me and listen."
Yin Chang forwarded it to her, and Yao Manhuai listened to it once, and commented calmly: "This guy is really young, I have found the right person for him, and you will definitely explode with this song."
Yin Chang: "..."
When Yin Chang came home in the afternoon, he saw Shao Junling wearing a thin taekwondo uniform at home, with his fists clenched around his waist, running around the living room as if he was dragging a garbage truck... When he saw Yin Chang, the little guy ran quickly Come over, keep your hands in the same position, and walk in place in front of him, like a rabbit on stimulants.
Yin Chang looked at him inexplicably: "What are you doing?"
Yang Na heard the sound: "I don't know what's wrong with this child. He has been wearing this bathrobe-like clothes all day."
Yin Chang glanced at him again, and then he saw something different—Shao Junling was wearing a yellow belt around his waist.
The color of the belt is the symbol of Taekwondo level. Generally, it is white for beginners. Now Shao Junling wears yellow, which means...
"Have you passed the trial training?" Yin Chang asked in surprise.
Shao Junling let out a "hmm" with bright eyes, and ran away excitedly.
"The weather hasn't turned warm yet, he doesn't wear socks and slippers, and his calves are bare, so he's not afraid of the cold...Xiao Chang, tell him quickly." Yang Na worried.
"He's running, he won't catch a cold, let him go." Yin Chang smiled, and checked his email with his mobile phone. Sure enough, the gymnasium sent him a message last night, telling him that Shao Junling had passed the gymnasium's account. During the training period, you have become a formal student.
Yin Chang was a little relieved, and directly paid for Shao Junling's one-year training fee online—he could survive the trial period that was called devil training, so it shouldn't be a problem if he persisted for a year.
Just after paying the money, when he looked up, he saw that Shao Junling had changed his clothes, and gave him an unhappy look.
Yin Chang: "???"
Yin Chang was still immersed in the atmosphere of that single, and didn't pay much attention to Shao Junling's reaction.
He returned to the room and seriously wrote a thank you note to Ye Zhengming: "Ms. Ye, I listened to the song and it's very nice. The lyrics express my heart, thank you."
Ye Zhengming replied in the evening: "Oh, I just woke up, and I wrote all night yesterday."
Yin Chang: "...you bothered."
After confirming the lyrics and music, Ye Zhengming immediately let the people below enter the formal arrangement and production stage.
Days move forward step by step.
Shao Junling went to his school, improved his English, practiced his Taekwondo, and had a driver pick him up and down.
Yin Chang recorded his songs, took photos of him, participated in his announcements, and often traveled between Haicheng and Beicheng.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, Yin Chang's new song has been recorded, and only the final MV is left.
But when he saw the MV script, Yin Chang was a little confused. He always thought that the lyrics of the song were related to Yin Dong, but there was a "heroine" in the MV script.
When Yin Chang raised questions, Yao Manhuai explained that although the song was written by Ye Zhengming based on his emotional experience, its lyrics are actually a prose poem, which can be interpreted in different ways. He wrote this song mainly to make Yin Chang feel more substituting when he sings, and he can also put in a lot of emotion. But in terms of production, they must not position this song as a "children's longing song for their deceased father". Once the limitation is dead, no matter how good this song is, it will not be easy to promote and sing.
The only songs that are most likely to be widely circulated are love songs. Therefore, the production company added a heroine to the MV and wrote a story about a lonely young man who was hurt by love while growing up. After the heroine left, the youth also grew up. .
Yin Chang looked at this vulgar script, although helpless, he could only accept it.
Afterwards, I struggled for a long time to choose the heroine of the MV.
At first, Yao Manhuai picked a female artist under his own company to match Yin Chang, but on the day the other party came to audition with Yin Chang, she frequently dropped the link.
There is a scene in the MV where the heroine is required to meet Yin Chang's eyes, and show a cold and unfeeling look in the process, and turn around and leave after a few seconds. But as soon as the female artist faced Yin Chang, she began to blush. No matter how hard she tried to keep her face expressionless, her eyes were still flickering, and she dared not look directly at Yin Chang.
Even such a simple shot can't be done well, let alone another scene - when the young man first met the heroine, they had a crush on each other, and the two cuddled together, and Yin Chang would even make gestures of embracing each other.
Yao Manhuai frowned and watched for half an hour before letting the female artist's manager take her back.
The filming team had no choice but to shoot all the shots of Yin Chang alone, while Yao Manhuai continued to look for someone. But it is really hard to find a suitable "heroine". First of all, this person cannot be more famous than Yin Chang. It has a certain appearance and temperament, otherwise it will probably be ridiculed by fans when it is shot.
Yao Manhuai couldn't find a suitable one in his company, so he went outside to cast a net.
Many companies heard the news and rushed to invest in New Star Entertainment. Yin Chang has been in the limelight this year. Being able to appear as the heroine in the MV of his first single is an excellent exposure opportunity.
Yao Manhuai sifted around and picked out a few more, but they were still pleasing to the eye when viewed alone, but once they stood with Yin Chang, they would be foiled without brilliance.
Seeing the days go by, the filming team became anxious, and the producer suggested: "Why don't you change the MV script, don't shoot the front, just find a girl with a good figure, and shoot with Yin Chang's back."
Lu Lingjuan asked: "Then what about the cuddling scene in 'Love Period'? Was it filmed out of place?"
The director flipped through a few scraps he had made before, touched his chin and analyzed: "Actually, when I read the script, I always felt that the action design was a bit far-fetched. Because Yin Chang looks so good-looking, if I were an audience, I would watch this MV , I can't understand why the heroine abandons the heroine... This song is about the growth process of the heroine. I can't get the kind of feeling I want, so I can only leave cruelly... "
After hearing this, the producer agreed: "Yes, this explanation is good. Let's think about it together, how to design an action to show that Yin Chang is still a child who hasn't grown up?"
Lu Lingjuan had an idea: "Let the girl hold Yin Chang's head and stroke him like a small animal?"
Yin Chang: "..."
The producer clapped his hands together, pointed at Lu Lingjuan and said, "Your idea is great!"
The director also nodded repeatedly: "In that case, you only need to pat Yin Chang's head and the girls' hands, and you don't even need to pat the girls' heads."
The producer snapped his fingers: "Perfect!"
Yao Manhuai saw that they had finished discussing, so she planned to randomly pick one of the people who were eliminated before, but just picked up the phone, she felt that this was not easy to handle, if this girl knew that she would not even have a chance to show her face in Yin Chang's MV, Do you still want to come
The director next to him has already started to redesign the shot: "Come here at random, pose with Yin Chang, and let me see if the shot is good..."
Lu Lingjuan was looking around to find a suitable girl, when Yin Chang walked up to her and said, "It's you."
Lu Lingjuan: "!?!?"
Five minutes later, Lu Lingjuan, who had dug his own grave, sat cross-legged on the ground in a kneeling posture of a beauty, resting Yin Chang's head on her lap tremblingly.
Director: "Yin Chang leans closer... girl, don't step back, hold his head... yes, don't shake your hands!"
Lu Lingjuan: "..."
Director: "Touch!... Be natural... Yes, very good! Yin Chang's closed eyes just now are very cute... just close them and don't open them..."
Yin Chang: "..."
When the two of them finished the audition, the director looked at the camera and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Not bad, so who, I think this girl is very good... Is it Yin Chang's assistant? Or she's fine, and her hands are also very beautiful , Anyway, I don’t slap my face, I think the effect is not bad.”
Lu Lingjuan: "..."
Hearing this, Yao Manhuai simply put down his phone and looked at Lu Lingjuan for a while, and seemed to think it was appropriate, so he said directly: "Go and change your clothes, and sign a contract later, and I will give you the actress' remuneration."
Lu Lingjuan looked back at Yin Chang in embarrassment, and saw that Yin Chang also nodded encouragingly to her, but there was clearly a narrow smile on his face.
On the eve of Easter, Yin Chang's single "Without Me" was quietly launched on major music platforms.
The cover of the single is a frontal photo of Yin Chang. In the photo, he has his eyes closed and his expression is a bit solemn, but the other half of his face is covered by half a silver smiley mask. The expressions on the left and right faces have a strong contrast.
At that time, there was no activity on Yin Chang's Weibo, and there was no publicity on the Internet, but the song was discovered by attentive fans immediately.
In a very short period of time, fans spontaneously spread and reposted the song wildly.
"Please listen to it, all of you! It's so good!"
"My male god is really amazing, he can do everything like that!"
"You actually hired Ye Zhengming to write the lyrics and compose the music, the resources are too awesome..."
"I thought it was the standard hip-hop for traffic stars, but I didn't expect it to be a super nice love song. It's a pleasant surprise!"
"My ears are pregnant! I want to repeat this song 10,000 times!!"
…
The next day, the official blogs of the major music platforms announced the new song, and focused on how the song entered the top of the new song list within 24 hours.
At this time, Yin Chang's Weibo belatedly released the official MV of "No Self", which feasted the eyes of the hungry fans.
The beginning of the MV is a barren grassland. Although there is sunshine, the overall tone is gray and looks very decadent.
As the piano prelude sounded, Yin Chang's deep and melodious singing voice also followed quietly: "The warm flowers under the sun are swaying the dreams in your heart... the birds flying in the sky, have you ever been to the place you want to go..."
A figure of a young man appeared in the picture, wearing a black shirt, looking aimlessly in the wasteland.
"Yesterday I was ignorant and fearless, today I have no solution and no hope... The years have no trace and no mercy, dreams have no self and no harm..."
Accompanied by these two lines of lyrics, a room full of sunlight appeared in front of my eyes. In the room, there was a woman in a white dress sitting cross-legged. She couldn't see her face, but Yin Chang was nestled in her arms with her eyes closed, and the woman was gently stroking his hair...
Immediately afterwards, the picture changed, and the barren grass just now appeared again.
The young man stands on the open space with no one around and looks around, showing his loneliness.
"I look up at the sky and see the clouds and clouds, waiting for you to come back to me... I look through the autumn waters and see Xiao Xiao Luo Mu, guarding the tender thoughts in my heart..."
Then, the scene returned to the room just now, and this time it was the scene of the woman in the white skirt leaving Yin Chang in his sleep.
When Yin Chang woke up from his dream, his beloved was gone.
"Yesterday I was ignorant and fearless, today I have no solution and no hope... The years have no trace and no mercy, dreams have no self and no harm..."
He started to run in the wilderness, which was real and which was a dream, and he couldn't tell the difference.
Until the end of the MV, the young man did not find the girl again, but he picked up a dirty, smiling mask on the ground, he wiped off the dirt on it, and slowly put it on his face. The cover of was echoed.
Fans were blown up after watching this MV.
"What kind of peerless sad song is this! My old lady cried!"
"The filming is too miserable, right? I can't find it no matter how hard I look, I can feel the despair 5555..."
"Is there any sister who can interpret it, what does the mask wearing mean? It means that Yin Chang is actually not happy right now, but just forcing a smile?"
"It's just a pat MV. I wouldn't believe that someone would abandon Yin Chang in reality!"
"Why don't you just... hey, I don't want to mention this matter, I'm sad."
"To be honest, when I watched the MV, I was thinking about Yin Dong leaving him, Asuka, etc., it has the implication of a plane crash..."
"This is Yin Chang's song! This is Yin Chang's Weibo! Can some people stop mentioning Yin Dong here, it's really annoying to mention it every time!"
"Can anyone tell me who the heroine in this MV is? I want to send her a blade!"
"I read it three times and didn't see the signature. The young lady has a strong desire to survive. [Smiling]"
…
Although this is just a popular song, from the cover to the lyrics to the MV, there is a distinctive sense of high force.
In the next day, "Without Me" rushed to the top of the new song charts on all major platforms under the strong support of fans and fans, and the popularity of playing and downloading far surpassed the second-placed song.
Just as Yao Manhuai expected, the song was a hit, and it exploded without any suspense.
It was already the end of April, and Yao Manhuai mentioned to Yin Chang about the parent-child variety show on Xingyao TV.
Mr. Xu from Xingyaotai didn't give up, and asked her to ask Yin Chang's wishes. Now two of the five pairs of guests have been confirmed, namely the 14-year-old twin sons of the famous table tennis player Lang Yangxu, and the son of the ex-husband and the daughter of the current husband of Hong Kong movie star Meng Qing.
There are still two places, Mr. Xu has not yet decided, just want to reserve for Yin Chang and Shao Junling, I hope Yin Chang can think about it again.
The final reply deadline is before May 10, because the program team will start producing the theme song in mid-May.
Yin Chang has not made it clear that Yao Manhuai will return to that variety show, and it is indeed because he has wavered in his heart. He admitted that Yao Manhuai was right. The Xingyao Terrace invited him and Shao Junling instead of him. No matter what, he should ask Shao Junling what he thought.
On the weekend at the beginning of May, Yin Chang managed to get a day off. He returned home early on Saturday afternoon and decided to muster up the courage to talk to Shao Junling. By the way, he took advantage of Sunday’s rest to cultivate brotherhood with the little guy—this is a short period of time. He was so busy with the single, he went out early and returned late every day, and didn't care much about Shao Junling's condition.
But when they got home, Shao Junling was nowhere to be seen. Yin Chang casually asked, "Yang Na, where is Shao Junling?"
"He went to the Taekwondo gym," Yang Na replied. "Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, he has to go to practice. On Saturdays, he goes early, and usually leaves at two or three in the afternoon. He will be back for dinner later."
"Oh..." Yin Chang glanced at the calendar and remembered that every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday were the trial training period. Why did that guy go so regularly after he became a formal student? It seems to be really quite persistent.
It was almost six o'clock when Shao Junling came back.
The weather has turned warm recently, and he is still wearing his Taoist uniform. Yin Chang is surprised to find that the belt around the little guy's waist has turned green in just two months!
Yin Chang was about to praise him, but he saw the boy squinting at him, and he wanted to pass him into the bedroom without saying hello.
"???" This kid still doesn't care about him as a brother
"Stop," Yin Chang called to him, staring at him and said, "You won't bark if you see me?"
Shao Junling even twisted his neck and let out a "hum".
Just as Yang Na came out of the kitchen with hot soup, she saw Yin Chang and Shao Junling standing there staring at each other, and hurriedly said, "That's fine, what's going on, it's rare for the two brothers to get together for a meal, so hurry up and sit down." Down!"
After listening to Yang Na's words, Shao Junling no longer cared about Yin Chang, and went directly to the study to put his schoolbag.
Yin Chang was left there, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, circling around anxiously, and Yang Na was winking at him desperately, which made him really angry.
Afterwards, the three had a meal in an awkward atmosphere. Yang Na racked her brains to smooth things over at the dinner table, but she couldn't see the two brothers giving each other any good looks.
After the meal, Yin Chang went back to the bedroom with a livid face. Shao Junling had been playing in the living room and didn't go in, as if deliberately avoiding Yin Chang.
Yang Na quietly went over to persuade him to talk to Yin Chang proactively, but Shao Junling ignored him, wondering what he was being stubborn about.
After procrastinating and procrastinating until it was time to sleep, Shao Junling walked back in small steps.
Yin Chang had finished washing and was leaning on the bed in a silk nightgown. Seeing Shao Junling come back, he put down the ipad he was holding just now, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Do you still know how to come back to sleep? I still think you are going to sleep It's the living room."
With his head down, Shao Junling silently went to the bathroom to take a bath. After washing, he walked to the door, but saw Yin Chang standing there with a sullen face, holding his arms to prevent him from going out.
— Yin Chang couldn't let him go to sleep without asking what kind of nerves this kid committed.
"what's wrong with you!?"
"Did you learn Taekwondo, so your eyes grow on top of your head?"
"You think you're great, don't you?"
The anger that he hadn't let out just now, now has an outlet, and Yin Chang poured it out all at once.
Yin Chang even wanted to laugh a little, because he thought about taking this kid on that variety show for a moment today... It's crazy, the two of them will probably be laughed at by the audience all over the country if they go on TV like this!
Shao Junling kept his head down and did not reply, but the two fists beside him were clenched tightly.
Yin Chang saw it and sneered: "Yo, do you still want to fight with me?"
After hearing this, Shao Junling suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and red, and he looked extremely fierce.
Yin Chang was startled, but Shao Junling really wanted to fight him, so he was not afraid. This kid has only learned Taekwondo for a few days, can he be knocked down
He was ready to use force to subdue the opponent, but Shao Junling stared and suddenly burst into tears in front of him.
Yin Chang: "???"
The more Shao Junling cried, the more sad he became, his shoulders twitched, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Yin Chang was confused by the opponent's unreasonable response: "You, why are you crying!"
Shao Junling wiped his tears and snot with both hands in embarrassment, and yelled at him in a childish voice: "You are the one who ignored me first!"
Yin Chang: "..."
Yin Chang: "When did I... ignore you?"
Shao Junling roared: "Always!" Then he burst into tears, still mumbled: "Always! Ignore me!"
Seeing him crying like this, Yin Chang dared to have any temper.
He thought about when did he let Shao Junling misunderstand that he was ignoring him. After thinking about it for a long time, he only thought that maybe he was too busy with work during this time to care about this guy... But there is no way to do it, he didn't mean it of.
"I..." Yin Chang squatted down, comforting him at a loss, "Don't cry... I'm crying like a cat, it's so ugly."
Shao Junling paused, stared at him in disbelief, turned his back, and cried even more fiercely.
Yin Chang saw that he was wailing so loudly that he wished the whole house could hear him, and he was afraid that he would attract Yang Na. At that time, Yang Na might think that she was bullying him... So he hugged him quickly and held him Covering his mouth, with one arm around his waist, he hugged him and coaxed anxiously: "Okay, let's not talk about you! It's not ugly! Don't cry my little ancestor!"
Shao Junling sobbed in Yin Chang's arms for half a minute, and finally calmed down slowly.
Yin Chang secretly sighed in his heart: He really owed this kid in his previous life!
The author has something to say: [Interlude]
Lu Lingjuan (suggestion): "Hold his head and pet him like a small animal!"
Yin Chang: "???" You are awesome, come here, come and hug my head, I will give you this chance.
Lu Lingjuan: "..." QAQ
———
Shao Junling passed the trial training, wore Taoist clothes all day, and ran all over the room in the cold, waiting for his brother to come back to show him off and for him to praise himself.
As a result, his brother didn't respond and ignored him.
Shao Junling: Fugu becomes a puffer fish.
After that, Yin Chang went out early and returned late to prepare for the single.
Shao Junling: I have been angry for two months, and I am about to explode!
———
[Remarks] Yin Chang's song refers to Shang Dongfeng's "No Bone, No Flower, No Me, No Other". When I wrote it, I also had this melody in my mind. I recommend listening to it.
