Chapter 11: Talking, auditioning, emerging.

Cheng Yuan's talent and ability were obvious to all, yet Cheng Yuan's mentor was not very enthusiastic about the student.

Because Cheng Yuan himself has a small problem, stage fright.

Cheng Yuan, in private with his classmates to play music high to fly, the level of first-class, the tutor also gave him the opportunity to perform, but he comes with a natural goatish temperament, every time on stage, vibrato out of tune is common, even in the graduation of each graduate to be held in a personal concert, he is also the performance of the mediocre.

It's no wonder that the tutor didn't take care of Cheng Yuan.

For a teacher, it is better to close your eyes and not look at a diamond in the rough than to watch a diamond destined to be dusty and unable to shine.

Cheng Yuan himself is not a big fan of publicity, and given his family history, if Yang Baihua hadn't been around, he would have stayed behind the scenes for the rest of his life and played music.

If it was the real Cheng Yuan, he would have been so nervous that he couldn't close his eyes for half the night when he heard that he had to audition.

Chi Xiaochi calmly made herself a vegetable salad and called Cheng Jian to inform him that she had been called for an audition.

061 asked him, "Not nervous?"

"I have thick skin." Chi Xiaochi said, "Also, I come from a modeling background. You know that, right?"

061: "Uh-huh."

"It takes a lot of improvisation to be in this business," says Chi Xiaochi. Chi Xiaochi says, "When I was seventeen, I went to a runway show, the theme was fur, and I came out third in line. Some people from an animal protection organization somehow managed to get in and stop the protest. They jumped on the runway, pulled up banners, blocked the models, yelled, read poems and gave speeches, and it was a lot of fun. It was quite an inch, just in time for me to go on stage. I had just taken a few steps out on the runway when the people all rushed up."

061 asked, "And then what."

"I'm perfectly capable of turning around and rushing backstage, but if I do that, the pace of the follow-through will be all messed up and a show will fall apart all together." Chi Xiaochi picks up a small tomato with her fork, "It's great that these people have their own beliefs and ideas. But I take the organizer's money, I have to help people finish the show. It's professional ethics."

Immediately afterward, he commented on tomorrow's audition, "A small scene, not a false one."

061 Thoughts, that sounds wonderful.

After he reads to Chi Xiaochi at night, he can go to 023 and find out if there's any live footage of this.

Tonight 061 reads Chinese geography to Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi fell asleep before 061 finished naming places and rivers in China.

061 Smiley.

Chi Xiaochi is second to last in politics and first to last in geography on his report card.

The ranking proved to be very scientific, as Chi Xiaochi fell asleep ten minutes faster by naming places than by saying "matter determines consciousness".

Chi Xiaochi's sleep was still shallow, but it was enough for him.

When he wakes up, he feels that he has unlimited energy and can even go and help Cheng Yuan to open a concert.

At 7:30, Chi Xiaochi cleaned himself up and went downstairs.

Cheng Jian picks him up for an audition and leans over the side of the car to wait for him, his eyebrows jumping at the sight of him in a washed-out denim jacket that reveals clean, slender arms and neck.

Before he could snap, Chi Xiaochi rubbed her palms together and slipped into the back driver's seat, "It's cold, it's cold."

Cheng Jian spat and got into the driver's seat, "Pretty good at picking your spots, this boss."

Chi Xiaochi pushed the back of his chair, "Driver Cheng, drive."

Cheng Jian took his jacket off and flung it into the back seat, covering Chi Xiaochi's face, "Hold it for me."

Chi Xiaochi balled up her coat and used it to warm her hands with her body heat.

Cheng Jian glanced in the rearview mirror, "Are you not aware that this dress is expensive?"

Chi Xiaochi warmed her hands without moving and shamelessly said, "Just use me as a coat hanger."

Cheng Jian : "Pfft ...... cough."

He had rarely seen his brother so lively.

This is a good thing, but the thought of Yang Baihua bringing about this change makes Cheng Jian feel like he's swallowed a fly.

He doesn't mind his brother's sexuality, he minds Yang Baihua as a person.

Yes, Yang Baihua is hardworking, able to work hard, and gentle to his brother, but in his heart, each of his relatives is ranked ahead of Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Jian admitted that it was not easy for the Yang family to beg for food from the nooks and crannies of the mountains to feed Yang Baihua.

However, because of this, the Yang family is Yang Baihua's "own people", holding out a sincere Cheng Yuan, how to treat him, but also an "outsider".

If there was no conflict, it would be strange if Yang Baihua could protect Cheng Yuan when there was a conflict.

It's just that bystanders can't lend their eyes to those in authority, and Cheng Jian will inevitably get angry when he has a lot of reasoning but no one listens to him when he speaks out.

Cheng Jian could only seize this brief opportunity to probe, "How are you and Yang Baihua doing? Did he tell his parents about you?"

Chi Xiaochi shook his head, his expression unable to hide his despondency.

Cheng Jian let out a breath, and barely managed to hold back the sentence "Holy shit".

He said, "He doesn't want his parents to know you exist, don't tell me you don't know what that means."

Chi Xiaochi sniffles and doesn't answer.

Cheng Jian does not understand: "What's so good about him?" Like Yang Baihua, who came from a humble background, Cheng Jian's company has a large number of students, although more or less have a little bit of the original family's brand, but at least they are like a man, bold and courageous.

Chi Xiaochi would like to say that I don't really understand what's so great about him either. Combined with what he did to Cheng Yuan, the only thing I can marvel at is that a pile of garbage can be piled up to a height of 1.8 meters.

However, Cheng Yuan had fallen too deeply in love before, and Chi Xiaochi couldn't collapse his persona.

So he made a gesture of deep affection and said, "There is a man who earns 10,000 dollars a month and is only willing to spend 1,000 for you; another man who earns 1,000 dollars a month but is willing to spend 999 dollars for you. Brother, if it were you, which would you choose?"

Chi Xiaochi felt the halo of the Holy Father glowing on top of his head and was perfectly capable of performing a power with love.

Silent spectator 061 shivered at the expired rancid chicken soup.

Cheng Jian taut face: "Well, he has a thousand dollars, for you to spend nine hundred and ninety-nine, the remaining one dollar, the two of you open your mouth to drink a month of the northwest wind."

Chi Xiaochi thought to himself, "This comrade surnamed Kung, although I agree with your theory, if I were Cheng Yuan, you would have already chatted to death by now.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Cheng Jian realized that his brother was not in the right mood and eased his tone, "...... Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

If it wasn't for the fear that too much chatting would affect Cheng Yuan's audition status today, Cheng Jian probably wouldn't have let go of this opportunity to brainwash his younger brother and teach him a lesson.

Chi Xiaochi's spirit wilted until he reached the downstairs of Nebula Entertainment. From a long distance, he saw two people standing in the cold wind to greet, looking at the age, clothing, never any assistant, at least the level of deputy director.

Chi Xiaochi communicates to the system, "This is not the usual treatment for audition singers."

061 said, "This is the treatment of the Cheng family's second youngest master."

Cheng Jian also opened his mouth at the right time, encouraging his brother, "Cheer up, don't be nervous."

Before Chi Xiaochi could thank Cheng Jian for his rare thoughtfulness, she heard him continue, "I've already said hello to someone. You can just sing whatever you want."

Cheng Jian was well aware of his brother's goatish demeanor in such formal occasions, so he greeted people in advance.

This fixer-upper is fed with quality and quantity, and a little bit of choking.

One can only imagine how he would feel if the real Cheng Yuan were here.

Chi Xiaochi sighed, "Mr. Six, when can we start a language arts studies class for my brother?"

061: "......????" Who's Mr. Six.

Chi Xiaochi said sadly, "He's easy to beat when he talks like that."

However, in the audition room, Chi Xiaochi's whole body stabilized.

Like Tang Huan's Yundu Entertainment, Nebula Entertainment has a vast entertainment network with countless subsidiaries involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry including music, film and television, with Flying Fox Music being one of its main signboards, and Chi Xiaochi was interviewed by two of Flying Fox's assistant directors and a music producer, which is a pretty big deal.

They started with the usual few specialized questions about music.

These are ridiculously easy questions that even a current music student who is a sophomore could answer.

Chi Xiaochi exclaimed to 061, "This is the first time I've experienced the subterfuge scene up close and personal."

061 Smiley.

This looks like a simple situation, but in the end it's Chi Xiaochi's fight.

All of the hosts he had brought with him were afraid that something would go wrong with the world line, and honestly went through the plot without even having a chance to experience the subterfuge.

Soon, it was time for the audition stage in the audition.

Cheng Jian, who was waiting outside, just a glass wall away from Chi Xiaochi, signaled the two deputy directors with a glance.

They nodded knowingly, but the producer was clearly not too keen, staring at Chi Xiaochi with a cold face and arms folded since moments before.

Flying Fox Music's head producer Su Xiulun wouldn't have made a special trip here if he hadn't heard the master tapes and been intrigued by Chi Xiaochi's sound.

But the exhortations of the two assistant directors and the childish questions he had just asked had gradually made him lose interest in Chi Xiaochi.

It's the scene that makes a singer's life.

There are too many studio singers to need another Cheng Yuan.

Chi Xiaochi sat down in front of the piano, lifted the lid, and put his fingers on the black and white keys, his heart as quiet as water.

He thought to himself, "Cheng Yuan, I've done it for you, now it's your turn.

A myriad of emotions flooded into Chi Xiaochi's mind.

And before being completely gripped by that emotion, Chi Xiaochi spoke up, "061, use the 'Single Skill Enhancement' card."

061 Slightly surprised: "There's no need ......"

Chi Xiaochi puts both hands on the piano: "Su Xiulun is in."

"Who?"

"Flying Fox Music's Gold Producer, Cheng Yuan is just what he needs right now. So Cheng Yuan has to be the best."

This was a sensible and cold statement, but 061 noted that Chi Xiaochi said "Cheng Yuan", not "I".

...... It is Cheng Yuan who needs it, not him Chi Xiaochi.

He knows very well that this talent, this honor, does not belong to him Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi said, "I'm going to show Cheng Yuan how good his life can be if he uses the cards he's been dealt well."

061's mind moved slightly, "Understood."

He opened the warehouse, selected the skill card Chi Xiaochi was going to use, and clicked Use.

Name: Single Skill Enhancement (Experience Edition)

Duration: 10 minutes

Number of pieces: 1

Quality: Excellent

Type: Single-use product

Introduction: Doubling the original master's original level of advantageous play, like adding tender tofu to the head of the fish, a thousand rolls, complement each other, before the fresh flavor.

Chi Xiaochi : "...... "The copy made him suddenly want to eat fish head.

Collecting himself, Chi Xiaochi played the first chord.

He sang "Words Between Hearts". One of Cheng Yuan's favorites, and one whose name was even copied on the cover of Tang Huan's CD.

"I would like to be a pillow book, to be read by you in detail ......"

As soon as Cheng Yuan opened his mouth, Su Xiulun instantly sat up straight.

The look on the faces of those two deputy superintendents gradually changed.

One of them listened for a moment and looked in surprise at Cheng Jian, who was outside the glass wall, only to realize that he was as jaw-dropped as he was.

Cheng Yuan has great control over his voice, and his vocal cords are as if they have been blessed by a miracle, so he doesn't have to spend time on controlling his pitch and tone, and is more able to express the emotions he wants to express.

Not to mention the fact that his voice was already a well-colored instrument.

Chi Xiaochi leaves the playing in Cheng Yuan's capable hands, while he expresses all the emotions on the outside.

The latter is Chi Xiaochi's specialty.

Without any rehearsal, Cheng Yuan improvised the three songs together, adapting many of the melodies on the spot. With "Heart to Heart," "Love You," and "Autumn Thoughts," Cheng Yuan's three styles progressively merge to tell the tragic story of a young man obsessed with love and lust.

At the end of the song, Chi Xiaochi closes the piano lid, looks up at the glass wall, and smiles tearfully at Cheng Jian.

Cheng Jian does not understand music, but by the brother of this bitter smile caused inexplicable pain in the heart.

Chi Xiaochi came out of the scene quickly, but in a few blinks he got his emotions under control and stood up from the piano, "Thank you, teachers."

When Chi Xiaochi came out of the music room, Cheng Jian embraced him without saying a word and gave him a firm hug.

He didn't know why he did it, he just felt as if he owed him such a hug, as if ...... if he didn't do it before it was too late, chances were he wouldn't be able to hug him for the rest of his life.

The intimate gesture was fairly normal for a brother, but 061 noticed that upon being embraced, Chi Xiaochi's muscles instantly stiffened, his body temperature rose abruptly, and his breathing appeared to be slightly labored, as if he was resisting the contact to a fault.

Luckily, Cheng Jian only gave him a hug, and Chi Xiaochi, who was let go, quickly returned to normal.

Su Xiulun was so excited that he couldn't sit still and pulled Chi Xiaochi to discuss his profession with him, while the two directors, knowing that they had picked up a big treasure, almost smiled into a flower and said to Cheng Jian, "Mr. Cheng, you are too modest."

Cheng Jian tried to turn the corners of his mouth down.

...... are happy, but have to pretend they don't care.

He said with reserved modesty, "Cheng Yuan played okay this time."

In the middle of the conversation, the cell phone that Cheng Yuan had put in Cheng Jian's pocket before he went in buzzed and vibrated.

He took out his cell phone, and the word "Lao Yang" jumped out in front of the screen in capital letters.

Cheng Jian looked up at his brother, who was chatting animatedly with Su Xiulun.

Cheng Jian snapped and hung up the phone.

For Cheng Yuan, this is not the right time to take Yang Baihua's call.

On the other side, Yang Baihua was holding the busy cell phone, his face was extremely ugly.

He dropped off his mom, dad, third sister and nephew, and made a special call to ask Cheng Yuan when he was moving back.

...... But how dare he hang up on himself?
