After deciding to participate in "Singer Assembly", Cheng Xi put down all unimportant jobs, invited the best teachers from the music school, and started a month-long devil training.
In fact, he has a good voice and vocal range, but he decided to become a singing and dancing singer when he debuted, so the styles of his songs are mostly hip-hop, r&b, trap, etc., and he has never had the opportunity to show off his difficult skills and singing skills.
But being a trainee for three years was not for nothing, nor was he among the top three vocalists in the monthly monthly exams. After just two days of classes, he regained some of his previous feelings.
A week passed, and he had completely picked up all the vocal music knowledge he had eaten with rice, and had a solid foundation. More than half a month later, under the guidance of the teacher, he had a new understanding of many ambiguous concepts, and in the expression of songs
I also gained a lot of insights on handling and processing.
In the last few days, the teacher and the team met together to discuss the competition tracks. In order to protect the condition of his voice, Cheng Xi listened quietly and put forward some opinions of his own from time to time.
There is a lot to pay attention to when selecting songs. Not only do you need to be compatible with the chorus, but you also need to analyze what the opponent is good at. For example, in the same competition, if two singers choose ethnic music at the same time, the audience and judges will inevitably compare them together.
The team that performs poorly will suffer greatly.
Taking out the guest list, the teacher started reading from the beginning: "Number one, Zhang Qin... No need to analyze it, right?"
"No need." Cheng Xi said calmly.
Zhang Qin is a male singer who is less than 60 years old this year. As early as the 1980s, his songs have become popular all over the country. He has been famous for longer than Cheng Xihuo. He is so prestigious that he can even be called a national treasure.
A top singer. In recent years, he has been behind the scenes and has been in semi-retirement.
In order to have strength and reputation, and to have a good reputation, the program team must have put in a lot of effort to recruit him. So there is no need to analyze, the already determined champion must be him.
Cheng Xi was convinced after losing to such an old senior.
There were thirteen guests in total. Although Zhao Xiaotao had sent the list a long time ago, he never looked at it. Cheng Xi had an impression of the next few. They were all popular pop singers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, with varying abilities.
Immediately afterwards, the teacher read another familiar name - "Meng Bai."
Cheng Xi's eyes widened slightly, he didn't expect such a coincidence.
Ever since Meng Bai posted a blog to clarify his selfie, he seemed to have disappeared from the world. I haven’t heard from him again and I don’t know if he has found a new home. The last time Cheng Xi communicated with him seemed to be on the Chinese New Year day. Meng Bai posted a lot of inexplicable messages.
I sent him a private message telling him about the existence of the box.
"This should be an acquaintance of Xiao Cheng, right?" the teacher smiled.
"Well," Cheng Xi nodded, "We collaborated on a travel variety show last year."
"I remember that he was signed to Tao Shiyan's studio, and he seemed to have a somewhat unclear relationship with Best Actor Tao. After the contract was terminated, I don't know where he went. That kid was born with good conditions, which is a pity."
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment.
If it hadn't been for the vocal teacher's words, he would have almost forgotten that Tao Shiyan had been rumored to have had an affair with Meng Bai for several years.
On the first day of recording "Journey", which was also the day he reunited with his adult brother, Zhao Xiaotao gave him some tidbits about Tao Shiyan and Meng Bai. Later, through observation, Cheng Xi discovered that Meng Bai liked Tao Shiyan at a glance.
It can be seen that Tao Shiyan seems to have no thoughts about Meng Bai other than work.
But with Tao Shiyan's character, he shouldn't put someone who likes him around to harass him. For example, for example, Ye Ruoqi, Cheng Xi once witnessed Tao Shiyan's ruthless behavior towards her.
Then why did he...leave Meng Bai in the studio for so long?
Do you want to make money from Meng Bai? But during the five years at Tao Shiyan's studio, Meng Baifa only produced very few albums, and rarely performed commercially, so he had little commercial value at all!
Other than that, I really can't find any other reason.
You can't think about everything carefully. As you think about it, Cheng Xi feels a little uncomfortable.
The vocal teacher continued to analyze. Cheng Xi bit his lower lip while listening, rubbing his thumb on the screen, and finally couldn't help typing: [There is a very coincidental thing]
Tao Shiyan replied very quickly: [Say.]
orange: [Meng Bai also participated in this season of "Singer Assembly"]
Yan: [Don’t worry, he is not your opponent]
Cheng Xi: "..."
Don't worry about it!
Your analysis is quite serious!!
Cheng Xi said this because he actually wanted to test Tao Shiyan's attitude towards Meng Bai, but nothing came out, making him even more depressed than before.
"Big pig's hooves, big pig's hooves, big pig's hooves..." Cheng Xi became angrier as he thought about it, and with a fierce movement, he directly changed Tao Shiyan's remarks into a [pig head] expression.
And he closed the dialog box and made up his mind not to talk to him again during the day.
The song selection for the entire competition schedule was completed and everything was prepared. In early October, "Singer Assembly" began the first audition and rehearsal before recording.
Lianshun City, where Fanshu TV is located, is far away from Songjiang, and he needed to communicate with the program production team in real time about the arrangement. Cheng Xi didn't want to go back and forth, so he booked a hotel locally.
Before leaving, Tao Shiyan learned the lesson from the last airport pick-up and sent a message to Cheng Xi: [I will see you off]
orange:【Aren't you busy?】
[Zhutou]: [I’m not busy. I’m at your door, come out.]
Cheng Xi: "..."
You didn't even remember to notify me until you got to the fucking door, right?!
However, he was quite happy that Tao Shiyan could come to see him off. He called Zhao Xiaotao who was about to pick up the car from the garage and pulled Zhao Xiaotao into Tao Shiyan's car.
Seeing Zhao Xiaotao about to take a seat in the back row, Jin Kun in the driver's seat turned his head: "Fat boy, come and accompany me in the co-pilot."
Zhao Xiaotao waved his hand: "No, the passenger seat is too small and crowded."
"Come on," Jin Kun said, "You will regret it if you don't come."
Hearing his serious tone, Zhao Xiaotao approached him hesitantly.
The young couple in the last row didn't notice what happened between the two agents at all.
Because they were afraid of affecting their studies, they had not seen each other a few times last month. Now that they were finally together, the moment Cheng Xi sat next to Tao Shiyan, Tao Shiyan's fingers clasped his own.
Cheng Xi was still not used to showing intimacy in front of outsiders, so he hid his tightly joined hands behind his back: "You have no schedule today."
Tao Shiyan: "Yes."
Cheng Xi frowned: "Then you go back and do your work. I'm not a child, so I don't need to send you off to the airport."
Tao Shiyan squeezed his palm and said, "My trip is to deliver you safely to Lianshun City."
"......oh."
Cheng Xi lowered his head and licked his lips. The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
At this time, Tao Shiyan wanted to observe whether his boyfriend was thinner. He glanced from top to bottom and accidentally spotted something strange.
He pointed at the screen of Cheng Xi's mobile phone: "What does this note mean?"
"Uh..." Cheng Xi's smile suddenly froze.
——I just learned that Tao Shiyan was waiting outside. He was in a hurry to go out and forgot to lock his phone after reading the message. The phone is still stuck on the chat interface with Tao Shiyan.
At the top of the chat interface, there is a [pig head] emoticon hanging brightly, with big ears and small eyes. The color is pink, naive and silly, and you can't hide it even if you want to.
Damn, I got caught!
Regardless of whether Tao Shiyan and Meng Bai had an affair or not, it was all before they were together with him. Cheng Xi knew that he had no position to mind, and he was trying hard to learn not to mind.
But I still haven't learned it yet.
Or the [pig head] cannot be hung all the time.
He pretended to be calm and put away his phone, "My hands are slipping."
Tao Shiyan would not believe his nonsense: "Can you slide to change notes with a slippery hand?"
Not wanting the other party to think that he was stingy, Cheng Xi didn't want to admit it, so he just had to bite the bullet and said, "It's just that my hands are slippery, believe it or not."
Hey, after studying for a month, I don’t know if my singing skills are strong or not, but my cheating skills have improved dramatically. Tao Shiyan laughed angrily at him and nodded: "Okay, okay, I believe it."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and tapped it a few times with his fingers.
Thinking on his heels, Cheng Xi knew that the other party was changing his notes, and for revenge, the changes were definitely not good.
Cheng Xi felt itchy and wanted to know what image he had in Tao Shiyan's mind. He poked his head in as if unintentionally...
Tao Shiyan strung the string for half a meter in the opposite direction.
Not seeing the content, Cheng Xi was unwilling to give in and moved closer to Tao Shiyan little by little.
Tao Shiyan simply turned around and faced Cheng Xi with his back.
Cheng Xi: "???"
It seems that some violent measures will be taken.
He had already cheated once. He put on a posture like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He supported the car seat with his left knee and stretched his hands from Tao Shiyan's neck to the front, intending to grab it directly.
With the weight of a big boy on his body, Tao Shiyan bent forward, subconsciously turned around, and the tip of his nose brushed Cheng Xi's lips.
"Hey, you're so anxious to ask for a kiss," Tao Shiyan raised his eyebrows, "Do you miss me?"
"...You hit me in the mouth yourself! Show me your phone quickly."
"I won't show it unless you say something nice."
Cheng Xi was curious: "What sounds good?"
"For example... call me husband."
"..." Call you a big-headed ghost!!!
Cheng Xi's cheeks suddenly turned red. Tao Shiyan paused and added, "You can also call me brother."
Compared with "husband", "brother" is just childish, not to mention that he has been called that before. Cheng Xi accepted it very well. He looked around and shouted in a low voice: "Brother."
Tao Shiyan said "hmm" and raised his head: "Kiss brother again."
He screamed, it seemed too bad to give up halfway, Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and pressed his lips against Tao Shiyan's.
But they couldn't be separated.
Tao Shiyan held his face and deepened the kiss.
By the time Cheng Xi realized that he had been tricked again, Tao Shiyan had already eaten up the child and wiped it clean, and he was very satisfied.
He threw the phone to Cheng Xi, "Let's take a look."
Having suffered all the losses, Cheng Xi raised his phone with a stern face.
Then I suddenly discovered that Tao Shiyan had one and only one person pinned to the top of his chat, and the picture of the Lion King pinned to the top looked very familiar - it was none other than him, King Cheng.
No wonder [Zhutou] replies instantly every time he sends a message.
Cheng Xi felt a little guilty. All the chat groups he pinned were company and team chat groups without Tao Shiyan. When he finally got his wish and saw the note Tao Shiyan had just set for him, he couldn't understand: "Why do you call me 'Xiaobaicai'?"
'?"
Tao Shiyan spread his hands: "There is an old saying in our country that good cabbage is eaten by pigs."
"..." It's all the same!
Cheng Xi held it in for a few seconds, but finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Then the smile got bigger and bigger...
Finally making him happy, Tao Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to put his arms around Cheng Xi's waist and squeezed the boy's tight waistline: "Xiao Baicai, tell me why you changed my note."
"No reason, I just want to change."
"Let's change the question, have you thought about me?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to at all."
"Really? I miss you very much."
"Okay, then I also thought about you, but only a little bit, a little bit about the size of a sesame seed..."
The two childish ghosts were negotiating in full swing. Zhao Xiaotao, the co-pilot, had his hands folded and his expression was numb. He didn't look like he was on the way to record a variety show with the highest ratings in the country, but as if he was on his way to the slaughterhouse.
"How's it going?" Jin Kun asked while turning the steering wheel, "Sit in front as I say, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's right!" Zhao Xiaotao nodded with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Brother Kun."
The back compartment is too unfriendly to single dogs, ugh!!!
