Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 24

On the other side, “My Show, My Way” ended its first episode broadcast, and the ratings reached a new high.

  “After a while, maybe we can switch to prime time at nine o’clock in the evening. With that time slot, we could still compete with “Singer and Composer”.” Seeing the high ratings, the chief director was very proud. Fortunately, he immediately got rid of a few useless singers and found a fan harvester, otherwise, the show wouldn’t have had such high popularity.

  “It’s a pity that Ke Yinong did not accept the second option. He is very suitable as a clown, more suitable than this person now. His existence can set off other guests more glamorously, and bring the show to new heights.”

  Thinking of this incident, the chief director was still not happy: “A little star with no name and no ability, if you give him a chance and he doesn’t seize it, you will be disliked, does he really think he can turn himself around?”

  At this time, assistant Jiang hurried in: “Director, the third live broadcast of “I’m Really a Star” has also started.”

  “Oh, did that little star named Ke Yinong get scolded?” The chief director picked up his thermos and smiled disdainfully.

  “No, he’s on fire, and the audience is crying and begging for him to keep singing.”

  When the director of “My Show, My Way” clicked into the live broadcast, the show was already in the second half, and the gray-haired Lai Qing and the curly-haired Jin Zhe had already become marginal characters. Even if the host pulled them out, no audience members cared about them.

  Lai Qing wanted to declare bankruptcy with the idea of making the show popular. No matter how much he pretended to be a monster, it was useless. People didn’t even want to look at him, let alone scold him.

  In the following time, the show gave him several opportunities to show himself, and he deliberately made a fool of himself in an attempt to gain more attention, even if it was negative. However, the audience, who were only looking forward to Ke Yinong’s next performance, ignored him. Netizens scolded rubbish at most and discussed the song just now with great interest.

  This kind of differential treatment really made Lai Qing’s fans furious. “The program crew is disgusting! Rubbish! Our brother is not like this! They all have a script, and they deliberately bully our brother who is young, ignorant, and has no background!”

  “Then you get lost, what kind of rubbish fans match a rubbish owner? My brother is still young and doesn’t understand… Pooh, I don’t understand at the age of twenty-six.”

  “You don’t need to wink at this rubbish upstairs, scolding him will just increase his popularity. I have already captured all the pictures of Ke Yinong, who wants them?”

  “I want, I want!”

  An Yinong stood at the guest seat, watching Lai Qing’s performance on the stage.

  This was the last mercy of the program group to the guests before the curtain call of the live broadcast: Letting them change their costumes, bring out props, put on background, have a soundtrack, grab assistants, perform a piece of their best talent, and keep people’s hearts.

  But Lai Qing had already given up on himself. He wanted to play a crazy villain, but he only achieved the effect of “sudden illness”. The audience on the scene also had a row of question mark faces.

  This scene was originally performed by a new-generation male actor. Although it was a “grabbing and plundering” with unsound views, the audience was confused after watching it, loving and hating, and just wanted to hug it tightly. Here Lai Qing played, good guy, call the police.

  “If you have to say something, the original version will make you feel happy, and the reprint will make you feel better.” It was quite educational.

  After Lai Qing was Tao Ran. He chose a classic play of the best actor, which was included in the Academy of Film and Television’s textbook.

  In comparison, Tao Ran’s acting skills were still immature, but it could be seen that his emotions and state were in place, his body language and expression language were also very vivid, his lines were even better, and his words were still clear when he was emotionally broken, without subtitles.

  “He hasn’t found his own characteristics yet, but he has a bright future.” The audience who had just had their eyes scorched were very tolerant of him, and they all gave him good reviews in the barrage.

  The third person to perform was Jin Zhe, who had been a trainee abroad for many years. After returning to China, he caught a wave of trends and then switched to film and television. The play he chose this time was more flattering, a youth school play, as long as it didn’t look like a play, it was okay to be exaggerated.

  When he finished his performance, there was sparse applause from the auditorium, which was more respectable than Lai Qing’s boos before. Jin Zhe was relieved.

  Finally, it was the audience’s long-awaited Ke Yinong’s turn. He walked onto the stage, dressed in a tuxedo, and sat down beside a white piano. All the lights went out, only the lights on the stage were on. The backup dancers provided by the show stood behind them, a man and a woman back to back.

  “Will he play the piano? What song will it be, a love song?” The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were curious. They were even more curious about whether this well-prepared concert could recreate the surprise just now.

  Was “Night City” an accident or a strength?

  “What song will it be?” The general manager was also asking this question.

  He had been sitting for nearly three hours, and the plane had been changed to the evening. It was the first time that the general manager, who had to do everything according to the plan, made such an irrational behavior.

  The piano music started, it was a lyrical piece, and it was hard to tell which song it was the prelude to.

  “The moonlight soaks this night, and the evening wind takes away my thoughts. I am used to missing her at night. She who is far away has left me with countless thoughts…”

  As soon as the song came out, the audience couldn’t help shouting “It’s too steady, this breath is too steady, you can see the whole scene at a glance, his basic skills are absolutely solid.”

  “At the beginning, he used a little falsetto, and the hoarse voice quality was weakened, and the melodious singing voice and the piano music blended very well.”

  “I like the way he sings, with a sincere tenderness. This is a kind of talent, touching with emotion. Maybe he is suitable for singing soft and lyrical songs.”

  Who knew when some professional musicians appeared in the live broadcast room, mixed in with the netizens, and the painting style was out of focus?

  “No, no, I feel a power from it, it was only temporarily suppressed. This calmness is like the surface of the sea. You don’t know what monster is hiding under the sea, and you don’t know when it will erupt.” A musician expressed disagreement.

  “That day when I knew we were leaving, I refused to speak. I looked at her and walked into the night alone. How do I convey my thoughts? How do I tell her? I always miss her…”

  Starting from there, the singing increased not all at once, but instead layer by layer, and his breath was not disturbed at all.

  “Damn it, he sang straight up! It sounded so easy and he kept a very steady state!”

  “The lonely rain didn’t stop, and she was always there in my dreams. The two of us looked at each other without leaving a word. The rain that night took away the spark in my heart, and she, who was far away, took away the home in my memory…”

  The piano stopped, and the two accompanying dancers also stopped, and the story entered its final chapter, with a bit of loneliness, evoking a feeling that the world was not satisfactory.

  “Close your eyes, throw away all elements other than sound, and you’ll be immersed in, without a doubt, a very successful live performance.”

  “I believe this song is a story, a story that is told well. Showing off skills is nothing, it takes skill to bring people into the artistic conception of the song, and the singer is very capable.”

  Netizens didn’t know what was going on, they didn’t understand professional reviews, and they just thought this song was good. The singer’s just-right vibrato expressed the pain and sadness of losing a lover to the fullest. But the way he expressed it softly makes the emotion restrained.

  “This song is indeed a sad love song, but it is not lovelorn, but a lost lover, so its emotion is sad, but it is also full of pure love.” A bullet screen was sent to the live broadcast room.

  “From the context of the lyrics, the singer has bid farewell to the initial stage of anger, pain, and disbelief. But the longing and love have not diminished.”

  “This is the most painful thing. The sweeter the memory, the bleaker the reality.”

  “From now on, I can’t see the rain at night again, and I miss every inch of rain and every inch of love.”

  This year’s netizens were really excellent, and all of them were talented in writing. There have been several excellent comments in the comment section of the live broadcast. However, some people wondered: “Why can’t I find this song?”

  “Me too, who is the original singer?”

  The host also asked the same question.

  “She’s Far Away, an original song, the music, and the lyrics are all created independently.” An Yinong replied.

  “Huh?” The host was really surprised, “Did you create it?”

  “Yes.”

  The audience was stunned.

  Relying on the fact that no one else could see it, the system stood on An Yinong’s shoulders and raised its head proudly with hands on hips: “What’s the matter? As my host, can you not even know how to write songs?” It really forgot that its shocked expression at the beginning was even more exaggerated than the host.

  “If you really can’t sing, writing songs for others is also a way out.” An Yinong said calmly, “I think so.”

  “Not bad.” The industry insider couldn’t help but pat the table. This answer could be a textbook response.

  After showing one’s own strength, showing weakness properly can arouse the public’s sympathy and make it easier to be accepted. And this was also a signal to colleagues: I am not here to divide the cake, I am here to make the cake bigger.

  If he was just an excellent singer, he may be suppressed by other singers, but if this singer could still create, then the singer circle would be more willing to show a friendly side. Knowing how to create this matter gave him a lot of points.

  “This answer, and this gesture, are so flattering.”

  From the amazing opening chorus to the ending of the original song at the curtain call, An Yinong could be said to have scored a perfect score for this variety show. He showed his own advantages, his good looks, special voice, solid skills, and creative ability.

  He was the biggest winner of this variety show.

  “Obviously he was exiled to the controversial network, but in the end, he made a comeback against the wind. This will become a classic case for many brokers’ desks. If all of this is Ke Yinong’s own arrangement, then his thoughts are stronger than ours. What I thought before was even more complicated.” Zhang Ruojun’s manager sighed.

  Zhang Ruojun sat there, staring at the phone screen without saying a word. He has kept this action for ten minutes.

  “I have been his assistant for more than a year…I thought I was the one who knew him best.” But he had never seen such a ‘Ke Yinong’.

  “What happened in the past year? I thought he had been trying to heal his throat.” But from the performance of “Ke Yinong” on stage, he never put down his music.

  Zhang Ruojun’s heart was pounding, he thought he had completely suppressed ‘Ke Yinong’, so he stopped paying attention to him all the time. But today ‘Ke Yinong’ slapped him across the face. Especially thinking of the conversation between the two of them that day, Zhang Ruojun’s heart ached like being eaten by insects and ants.

  “Am I wrong?… No, I’m not wrong.”

  “People change, especially after a crisis.” The agent sat down, “Give up on the previous plan. I will convince the top management.”

  Rengui had self-knowledge, no matter what the comparison, Zhang Ruojun was a complete failure. His popularity was higher than Ke Yinong, but he was very false. Before he was taking advantage of Ke Yinong, now he had to stop the loss in time. In the future, Ke Yinong would enter the singer circle, Zhang Ruojun would mix in the actor circle, and the well water would not violate the river water. Wasn’t that good?

  “No.” Zhang Ruojun raised his head, “I want to try.”

  “What are you trying, ancestor, why do eggs always want to hit a rock? I know this is not a good thing to say, but judging from the strength Ke Yinong has shown, you really can’t beat him.” The manager was really tired.

  But Zhang Ruojun still held himself back. He didn’t know what he was thinking about Ke Yinong now, whether it was jealousy, hatred, or what he wanted but couldn’t get. But he knew that once Ke Yinong went up, he would never have a chance to catch him again in his life. He would once again be high above, untouchable, let alone possessed.

  “No!” Zhang Ruojun’s voice was so sharp that it broke, “I won’t allow it!”
