When Lin Qi was about to start singing, Wen Zheng's manager found him.
Wang Yuehong whispered: "Feng Xiaoyong came backstage. He said he wanted to meet you."
"Why do you act like a thief?"
Wen Zheng leaned back and frowned, "It's not a shameful thing for him to come to me? By the way, why is he backstage?"
Wang Yuehong leaned closer to him and whispered: "Viewer, you still have a little privilege. He said he would send you a message, but you didn't come back, so you had to find me. Didn't you explain it before?"
"Now?"
Wen Zheng glanced at Lin Qi on the stage reluctantly, and sighed unhappily, "Let's go then."
What happened to Ye Xiaoxue made him inexplicably owe Feng Xiaoyong a favor, and he still had to give it this face.
Even though he really wanted to see Lin Qi live.
Backstage.
Wen Zheng led Feng Xiaoyong into his lounge and turned on the TV on the wall.
In the picture, it is a close-up shot of the judges looking confused.
Feng Xiaoyong said angrily: "This judge is so shameless. It's a good competition, but he is blatantly targeting you. I almost couldn't hold it back..."
"Speak directly if you have something to say."
Wen Zheng interrupted unceremoniously, looked at him a few times, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your face? Are you being scratched for being a scumbag?"
Feng Xiaoyong chuckled and said: "In front of you, who would dare to call me a scumbag? You are a fierce man with millions of rumored girlfriends."
Seeing that Wen Zheng was speechless, he immediately changed his words and said, "I was fighting with the little dog of the rich woman sitting next to me and was scratched. You should have seen the situation clearly on the stage. Apart from your fans,
Those other bitches are making noises, and I can’t be more angry..."
Wen Zheng raised his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. As long as it's not too much, I can promise you. Don't beat around the bush." He took out a cigarette and handed one to Feng Xiaoyong.
Feng Xiaoyong took the cigarette, took out his lighter and lit it for Wen Zheng.
He hesitated and said: "The day after tomorrow is my dad's birthday. I want to ask you to surprise him. As you know, my dad likes your song "Broad Sea and Sky" very much, and he is your biggest fan."
"Just go sing a song?"
"You decide the price. My dad is not short of money."
When Wen Zheng heard this, he just smoked silently and did not agree immediately.
He doesn't like this kind of activity from the bottom of his heart.
I had accepted endorsements before, but except for cooperating with the commercials at the beginning, I declined all subsequent activities.
The reason why he is so disgusted with this kind of thing is inseparable from the fact that he was teased by his aunt on the subway. Subconsciously, he always felt that attending such activities would make him similar to a circus monkey.
It's true that he makes money based on his own skills, but due to the special nature of this profession, he still wants the respect he deserves.
In fact, whether it is in this world or in the world where he is more familiar with Blue Star, in the eyes of the big guys, celebrities are not even as good as ordinary people, because ordinary people may not be willing to give money to them, but most celebrities are.
When Feng Xiaoyong saw that Wen Zheng was silent, he put on a pitiful look and said, "Brother, you have to help me."
"You don't know the situation of my family. Although my family's business is very big, I still have an older brother, and I am just a stepmother. Ever since I became sensible, my family has told me that I will give you one million a month.
Invest and don’t cause trouble. Other than that, do whatever you like.”
Wen Zheng interrupted: "Isn't that great? This is the life that many people dream of."
Feng Xiaoyong took a long drag on his cigarette and said angrily: "We only have a bowl of porridge at home, so naturally we value this, but what if there is an imperial dining room in your home? To tell you the truth, if my father is no longer here, I will have nothing but every meal.
The fixed one million per month will not change, and you will get nothing! Moreover, for this one million, I still have to look at the face of my half-brother. What’s even worse is that he always looks down on me.”
"This... is a bit exaggerated."
Wen Zheng felt that such a thing had only been seen in movies, "Besides, it has nothing to do with me, right? I can't help you rob the family property, can I? I'm not professional."
Feng Xiaoyong held the cigarette between his index finger and thumb, took the last puff, and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
He said in a deep voice: "My dad can't ask you, but I can! My brother can't ask you, but I can! I don't want much, I just want them to know that I am not a waste who only knows how to spend money. Even if
In the future, if you throw some property at random to me, I won’t look at others’ faces.”
Wen Zheng thought for a while and said: "In that case, I will sing a song, and I will never participate in other things. As for the appearance fee, forget it."
Feng Xiaoyong was also a smart man and immediately thanked him profusely.
At this time, Wen Zheng ignored him and turned up the TV sound.
"Don't ask me how high the sun is, I will tell you how true I am.
Don't ask how many stars there are, I will tell you many..."
Lin Qizheng sang these lines with an extremely sweet voice.
It’s hard for anyone to imagine that this sweet and cute girl on the stage just angered the judges?
This is clearly slander!
Feng Xiaoyong was also stunned.
He took a breath and murmured: "Am I right? This is Lin Qi? In my impression, she is just a little girl. Why did she suddenly start to be sweet? Who can withstand this?"
Wen Zheng warned: "I advise you not to make wrong decisions."
Feng Xiaoyong laughed sarcastically and hurriedly explained: "How dare you, brother, don't get me wrong."
To be honest, if Lin Qi was not protected by Wen Zheng, he would definitely flirt with her. After all, if he wants to hook up with a first-line star, he doesn't have the strength.
Wen Zheng turned to look at Feng Xiaoyong, then continued to focus on the screen.
In his memory, he often listened to this song when he was a child. However, this song left the deepest impression on him during his extremely depressing senior year in high school.
That day, there was a school sports meeting, and all senior high school students had self-study.
There was a lot of excitement outside the classroom, and people inside the classroom were restless.
Suddenly, at the opening ceremony that was being held on the playground, an unknown girl sang this song, causing the whole school to become agitated.
Especially for those struggling senior high school students who are studying in self-study, this sweet voice and innocent lyrics seem to have great magic and attraction, tempting them to rush out of the classroom.
When the corridor is crowded with young boys who have become restless in adolescence, each with his head tilted like a geese singing to the sky, the result can be imagined.
The grade director was furious!
The singing girl didn't look at her and didn't say anything. The whole grade wanted to take a temporary mock exam.
Although this incident was just a small episode in their high school career, many boys have always regretted it many years later: They almost saw their true appearance at that time.
Thinking of this, Wen Zheng couldn't help but smile.
Maybe the person who sang back then was not the little fairy they imagined, but this song will definitely make the person singing into a little fairy.
on stage.
Today, Lin Qi was specially dressed up and looked very girlish.
If she hadn't angrily criticized the judges when she came on stage, maybe the audience would have noticed her change today.
Of course, maybe Lin Qi is like the girl next door in the hearts of her fans, but this girl next door always likes to exchange trash talk with trolls, causing people to somewhat ignore her true age.
"Let me tell you gently, the stars in the sky are waiting,
Share your loneliness and your joy.
There is nothing else that cannot be said.
Let me approach you slowly, stretch out my hands and you and I,
Give you my fantasy and my blessing.
The sunshine of life is the warmest.
Don't ask me how high the sun is, I will tell you how true I am.
Don’t ask me how many stars there are…”
On the stage, Lin Qi uses her sweet voice to express the inner world of a girl in love in the lyrics to the beautiful and cheerful melody.
Amazing song, excellent performance, coupled with her sweet and girly look today.
The security force in the stadium is once again undergoing a test.
If we say that when Wen was on stage just now, the audience was abusing and booing the judges, and it was chaos.
So at this moment, there was a "wolf howling" sound in the audience.
Lin Qi, who was singing on the stage, was like an innocent and ignorant little rabbit, surrounded by big bad wolves.
The excited and agitated audience attracted the sideways glances of the five judges.
Judge No. 3 looked at the audience who chanted slogans such as "Lin Qi, I love you, my wife" and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "After many years, the Long Guo music scene finally has a serious sweet song.
This scene was something I never experienced even when I was young."
Judge No. 1 said depressedly: "Do you dare to believe that this is a song written by Wen Zheng?"
After a moment of silence, Judge No. 4 smiled and said, "There's something wrong with Wen Zheng. The span is too big."
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they all agreed.
One moment he is a melancholy and lovelorn son, and the next moment he has a girlish heart. If there is nothing wrong with this and it is not a split personality, who would believe it?
In the live broadcast room.
Following the outburst of barrage when Wen Zheng came on stage, the barrage army gathered again at this time, and the scale was absolutely unprecedented.
"Sugar content warning! This is the first time I discovered that a little troll can be so sweet. She is like a new goddess!"
"I'm going to give you an insulin shot."
"I fell in love after hearing the prelude. I unilaterally declare that Lin Qi is my first love!"
"This is the ceiling for sweet girls! Those artists who can only pout and act cute, and are pretentious, will be compared to nothing in front of Lin Qi."
"I'm a little afraid to look at her, but I don't want to stop looking at her. I'm probably sick."
"Lin Qi is the only little fairy in the Dragon Kingdom! No refutation will be accepted!"
"Good news, I'm in love. Bad news, she is a little fairy. Even worse news, my love rival is Wen Zheng..."
"The lyrics don't answer the question, and the preface doesn't match the postscript. However, this is a song that a macho man should listen to!"
"Brothers, her eyes are always smiling at me. Do you think she likes me?"
"She is the rumored girlfriend No. 3 of the scumbag Wen Zheng! I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Who can resist this! Damn it, Wen Zheng is indeed a scumbag!"
"The bright eyes are full of autumn water, and the skin is jade-like. It turns out that Lin Qi is so beautiful."
"Master and apprentice are not here to compete. They are clearly here to set a benchmark for the music scene in Long Country."
…
The excitement in the barrage area did not end with the end of the song, but for the on-site judges, they were a little at a loss for words.
The five judges still looked at each other.
No one wants to speak, no one knows how to speak.
On the one hand, they had already experienced Lin Qi's taunting skills, and now no one wanted to provoke him again; on the other hand, although the lyrics and music were all written by Wen Zheng, Lin Qi's singing could never be ignored.
As the only female among the judges, Judge No. 3 asked herself that if this song was sung by a young girl, it would never achieve the same effect as Lin Qi.
Overall, they can't comment.
When the host saw the judges, they just kept exchanging glances, so he had to remind: "Now let the judges comment and give scores."
In the end, Judge No. 5 stood up.
He said solemnly: "As for Lin Qi's performance, I can only use experience to describe it. Let's just give points directly. After various scoring and evaluation, I gave it ninety-nine points. One point less is because I am afraid that she will be proud."
With Judge No. 5 taking the lead, the remaining four judges didn’t waste any time and gave their scores directly.
Ninety-seven, ninety-five, ninety, ninety-three.
It can be seen that although Lin Qi asked the judges to give her the same treatment as Wen Zheng, the judges were still not as strict as Wen Zheng in giving time.
As for the highest score coming from judge No. 5, this was the result of discussion among the other four.
Anyway, for players like Wen Zheng and Lin Qi, scoring is just a formality. To put it bluntly, there is no need to be serious. They are given casually anyway. It would be good for him to regain some of the audience's favor.
However, after the judges gave all the points, Lin Qi, who got the final score of 95 points, had no intention of quitting.
She held up the microphone and asked: "I just said that if I win the big bet, I will add two points to each game unconditionally. Does this count?"
The entire audience was stunned, and their eyes once again focused on the five judges.
Judge No. 4 laughed dumbly and said: "Of course it doesn't count. Isn't that a condition given to you? You said there was no need to ask as soon as you came up, and you agreed directly. The conditions we gave you are as you wish, and they are the same as Wen Zheng
treatment."
"Depend on!"
Lin Qi subconsciously underestimated and bowed deeply to the judges and audience, "Thank you. Goodbye!"
Although her voice was very low, the microphone still transmitted her voice.
The judges didn't think anything of it. In the final analysis, they were just playing rogue, and because of the little girl's temper, she might not really be scolding them.
But the audience didn't think so.
Some people think this is not a big deal, and they generally agree with the judges.
But there are still people who are more serious and feel that Lin Qi's last words and deeds were inappropriate. Just one word destroyed the image of the little fairy that he had just established.
What's more, some people think that trolls are just trolls. Although they sing very well, their words and deeds are simply flashy and unworthy of their moral integrity.
The barrage army once again turned into a mess.
For Lin Qi herself, she didn't care about these rumors at all.
If she hadn't wanted to accompany Wen Zheng through this competition experience, she would have quit studying and concentrated on reviewing. Now her life goal is just to go to college.
Backstage.
Feng Xiaoyong had already returned to the audience before the last contestant came on stage.
When Wen Zheng and others sent Ye Xiaoxue to the stage, Ye Xiaoxue called Wen Zheng aside and suddenly asked a question: "Why do you and Lin Qi always grab the headlines?"
This question is a good one.
Wen Zheng is on the headlines almost every month. This cannot be explained by a simple statement of strength.
Wen Zheng was also caught off guard by the question and didn't have a good answer for a while.
He pondered: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Ye Xiaoxue sighed: "The company asked me to use cover songs for this competition and hopes that I will enter the resurrection competition. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, tomorrow's hot search headlines should still be you, Lin Qi, or Shang Yingying."
Wen Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I can't really explain it, but your luck is indeed not very good. Well... if there is a method, I think eight words can sum it up."
"Which eight characters?"
Ye Xiaoxue showed great interest.
The company has been working hard to promote her, but unfortunately, as Wen Zheng said, her luck has always been bad. Even though Wen Zheng has been able to keep a low profile, it is still difficult for her to be trending.
If she can't get enough attention even after entering the resurrection competition, the effect of the company's subsequent arrangements will be greatly reduced.
She doesn't want to let the company down.
Love or career, she always has to occupy one.
Wen Zheng said in a deep voice: "Be independent and make a fool of yourself."
Ye Xiaoxue was a little confused.
What she couldn't deny was that although her words were unpleasant, they still made sense.
Attention, to put it bluntly, isn't it about making it stand out from the crowd? Imagine that a goat suddenly appears among the sheep. The goat must be the most eye-catching, even if the goat is disguised as a sheep with big horns.
Wen Zheng added: "Although that is the case, I have to remind you that there are certain lines that you must not touch, let alone do the opposite on purpose just to be independent."
"Okay, I generally understand."
Ye Xiaoxue nodded in understanding.
Not long after.
Ye Xiaoxue, dressed in a white dress, stood on the stage.
The judges asked that question as usual.
Ye Xiaoxue was the last contestant to appear. As everyone expected, she had already thought of the answer in the audience.
She smiled and said: "I believe in my own strength, but I will not accept this bet. Whether it is unconditional extra points or other benefits, I will not accept it. For me, there are no shortcuts to everything."
Go, all I want is to do my best to do my job within the normal rules."
She would refuse, which was beyond most people's expectations.
You know, she got ninety points in the last game, and besides, she and Wen Zheng are still in the same company. Even if her relationship with Wen Zheng is not as good as Lin Qi, it won't be much worse, right?
It stands to reason that Wen Zheng has already helped Lin Qi, so it is impossible not to help her.
On this point, she already had an advantage over the other two people who chose to refuse, so why did she refuse?
This is not like the courage that the previous champion should have.
Judge No. 1 nodded when he heard this and said: "Your answer is perfect. Being down-to-earth does not necessarily mean being cowardly. I also admire singers who are willing to be down-to-earth. After all, there are too few such people in the industry today. Many people are thinking about what to do.
You became famous overnight, ha! How naive. However, you are the champion of Shanyi, so it won’t be difficult to get more than 90 points, right?"
Ye Xiaoxue just smiled.
Judge No. 5 continued: "Judging from your performance in the opening show, you are in good condition today. If you don't accept the challenge, have you ever thought about what the fans will think?"
As always, he began to feel pressure on his heart, but Ye Xiaoxue's expression did not change at all.
Judge No. 3 saw this and immediately gave him some strong medicine.
She said: "How about I change the rules for you? The scoring standard is the same as Wen Zheng's. If you can score ninety points, I will unconditionally add two points to you in the next game. If you lose, it doesn't matter. You will be the third in the resurrection game."
Just come on stage. How about it?"
"No, thank you."
Ye Xiaoxue's attitude of being indifferent made the judges lose their temper.
At this time, the audience got angry and thought that she was clearly afraid of failure, so she made excuses to say she was down-to-earth.
As someone who may be a singer in the Dragon Kingdom in the future, it's really a bit embarrassing that he doesn't even dare to accept this challenge.
Just as the audience was talking about it, Ye Xiaoxue's words once again aroused a new round of heated discussion.
She held up the microphone and said: "The song I brought is "Wait a Minute"."
Anyone who has watched Wen Zheng's live broadcast knows that this song was also written by Wen Zheng. It was sung by Wang Sisi in the live broadcast room at that time, which can be regarded as a craze.
Then here comes the problem.
Since you chose to use Wen Zheng's song, why is it an old Wen Zheng song instead of a new Wen Zheng song like Lin Qi did?
I don’t have a good relationship with Wen Zheng? So I can’t get it?
So what happened to the previous scandal?
Could it be that there is indeed something between the two of them, but they have just parted ways?
So, could it be that the original song she sang in the last performance was written by Wen Zheng?
If the cover song doesn’t have its own merit, the judges won’t like it, and it might lead to the re-election competition. So is this a tactical arrangement, or is it extreme self-confidence?
Conspiracy theories floated by in the barrage area.
In fact, Ye Xiaoxue chose this song for one reason, so to speak, it was to express her true feelings to Wen Zheng again.
As for other aspects, that is what the company should consider.
Within the scope of her ability, her little calculation can only go so far.
When Wen Zheng heard that Ye Xiaoxue was about to sing "Wait a Minute", he was subconsciously startled and felt that things were not simple at all.
He thought of that night for no reason, as if the alluring aroma of wine was lingering on the tip of his nose again.
On the stage, music sounded slowly.
Ye Xiaoxue quickly got into the mood with the engaging prelude.
"If time forgets to turn,
Forgot to take something with me.
Will you still stop at the day you said you loved me..."
When Ye Xiaoxue opened her mouth, it was different from the majestic performance when she sang "Under the Sea" in the opening show. At this time, she seemed to be telling the story hidden in her heart with full of regret and sadness.
She looks pitiful in the picture, but she also has a strong sense of self-esteem, which makes people dare not give out cheap sympathy easily.
In the hearts of many people at this moment, she is just a delicate narcissus blooming in the cold spring.
Ye Xiaoxue's strength has been recognized by everyone.
What's more, they even said that because of Ye Xiaoxue's singing, they directly challenged Wang Sisi. Ye Xiaoxue's singing skills beat Wang Sisi.
Wang Sisi's fans quit and started to fight directly.
"My Sisi was just chatting casually in the live broadcast room. Who knows how long Ye Xiaoxue has been preparing for it.
Besides, where did Ye Xiaoxue get the courage to sing this song? Wang Sisi is the empress of the palace. She sounds like Wen Zheng's rumored girlfriend at best, but she is just a mistress at worst?"
Fans on both sides argued for a long time, but the result was unexpected.
Both sides agreed that Wen was a scumbag, and even those watching the fight agreed.
As a result, the style of the barrage area suddenly changed, with the word "scumbag" constantly filling the screen. Coupled with the infatuated beauty singing soulfully in the picture, it was extremely harmonious for a while.
Some viewers who just opened the live broadcast room couldn't help but said: "This picture, this BGM, I just want to know, which scumbag has the heart to hurt her? Doesn't his conscience hurt?"
At this point, Wen Zheng was added before the word "scumbag" in the barrage.
"Wen Zhengscumbag" swept the screen.
Wen Zheng, who was in a terrible situation, didn't know about this. He only felt that Ye Xiaoxue had completely sung this song into his masterpiece.
