Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 20
byChapter 20 Chapter 20 Shi Xingze and Yue Lin this time…
Shi Xingze was in the same group as Yue Lin this time, and the two smiled at each other when they met in the practice room.
Seeing this, Xie Jinhan joked on the side: “Why do I think you two have developed feelings through cooperation?”
Shi Xingze waved his hand and said, “This sounds a little strange, but it is indeed a pleasure to work with Brother Yue Lin.”
Yue Lin also smiled and nodded: “Me too.”
Xie Jinhan nodded, looked at the players who were arriving in the practice room one after another, and suggested: “Why don’t we discuss this song first?”
This time, Shi Xingze and his team have a total of seven players. In addition to Yue Lin and Xie Jinhan, who are A-level players, there is also an S-level player, Xie Qian. The remaining four, including Shi Xingze, are all B-level players.
Xie Qian sat cross-legged on the floor of the practice room, looked at the other people and said, “Okay, do you have any good suggestions?”
The song “The Wind Rises” is a very comprehensive song. Xie Qian also took a fancy to this, so he chose it this time.
Yue Lin looked at the other contestants and said to them: “Let’s talk about how we allocate the duration of the song first. There is a drama and a rap in this song. We can first discuss who will be responsible for this part.”
Xie Qian was the first to speak: “I’m pretty good at rap. I sang the short rap in Hot Ice during the first performance. I want to be responsible for this part.”
As soon as Xie Qian opened his mouth, the other contestants who had originally wanted to propose that he sing the rap suddenly stopped thinking.His rap is indeed good. Even if they ask to sing it themselves now, they will still lose when they compete with Xie Qian later. It is better not to speak now.
Seeing that no one objected, Xie Jinhan said to Yue Lin: “The rap part has been decided for the time being. The more troublesome part is probably the drama part. This person with no skills really can’t sing, so don’t fall for the drama part when the time comes.”
Shi Xingze knew that Yue Lin was a good singer, so he asked Yue Lin, “You are a good singer, can you sing in an opera style?”
Yue Lin was hesitant and said to Shi Xingze: “I have never practiced opera. I only sing popular songs. I’m not sure. If there is no one who can sing, I can try.”
The player next to him muttered in a low voice: “Why do you ask Yue Lin instead of us?”
Xie Jinhan frowned, spread his hands and said, “I can’t sing anyway. If you can, you can take the initiative. We don’t know if you can.”
Shi Xingze looked at the people who just spoke and asked them: “Then do you want to try it?”
The person who just spoke looked at the others and said reluctantly: “I don’t know how, so come on.”
Seeing that he was not very convinced, Shi Xingze explained calmly: “This song is not easy, and there is another group competing with us. Now we are not sure if the opponent has a contestant who can sing opera, so to be on the safe side, we have to give priority to people who can be responsible for this part.”
After speaking, Shi Xingze looked at the B-level contestants like him and said to them: “So now our two groups are competing on the shortcomings of drama. Whichever group makes a mistake in this part will face the problem of being eliminated as a whole group, and then no one’s votes will be used.”
The contestant who just spoke took a breath, and some didn’t dare to raise his head and whispered: “I didn’t think so much just now. Then I’d better listen to you and find someone who can take charge of the drama.”
His strength is not as good as the others, and he doesn’t have many fans. If he is eliminated for this reason, there will really be no such person in the entertainment industry.
Shi Xingze nodded and said to Yue Lin: “My singing skills are not as good as yours, but I know a little about opera. Then we can discuss how to sing this opera better.”
What Shi Xingze said to another contestant just now made Yue Lin unconsciously nervous. Now that he heard the words, the pressure in his heart was much less, and there was a smile on his face: “Okay, I will also learn the drama. I don’t need to be more proficient, at least I can’t make mistakes.”
Now that the drama and rap parts of the song have been tentatively decided, the parts of the five people are still undecided. Several people were discussing intensely in the practice room:
“There is a part where you are playing with a gun at the beginning of the original song. Who can do this? I have never learned this.”
“Rather than this, let’s worry about the group dance in the middle. I’m not very good at dancing. What if the group next door isn’t as neat as it is?”
“And the ending, shall we appear alone or as a group?”
Several people discussed the song. Shi Xingze and Xie Jinhan put forward some opinions from time to time. They also found the original song stage and analyzed it frame by frame. The photography brother took the behind-the-scenes shots smoothly.
Xie Qian took a few bottles of water from the side and threw one to each of them. He also opened a bottle and took a few sips: “Anyway, if you are not sure who will be responsible for which part, I would still prefer to do a solo in the afternoon. The group for my first performance was also divided in this way. After all, there are S-level players in the group next door, and our most important purpose now is to stay.”
Several B-level players were hesitant at first, but after hearing Xie Qian’s words, they still mustered up the courage: “Okay, let’s go solo in the afternoon.”
Shi Xingze was a little quieter than when he performed for the first time. Yue Lin touched him quietly and said with concern: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I didn’t see you talking much just now.”
Being sick at this juncture is a big deal. Xie Jinhan frowned and wanted to touch Shi Xingze’s forehead, but Shi Xingze subconsciously avoided it. Xie Jinhan looked at his hand and couldn’t recover for a while.
Shi Xingze looked at everyone’s eyes looking at him and shook his head with a smile: “Thank you for your concern. I’m fine. I was just thinking about the scene at the beginning.”
Xie Qian heard him say that he was fine, and his frown relaxed: “Why, you seem to have an idea?”
Shi Xingze nodded: “A little bit. I know a little bit about sleight-of-hand, but I haven’t practiced it for a long time. I’m not sure if I can pick up some before the official performance, so I was hesitant to say it just now.”
Yue Lin was a little silent. The opening of Huaqiang was too uncertain. If it was played well, it would be the highlight of the whole song. If it was played poorly, it would become a weak point. He was also undecided whether to let Shi Xingze try it.
Xie Jinhan looked at his palm and spoke after a long while: “Why don’t we let him try it first? If the final result is still unstable, we will just delete the flower gun part and just start the song. What do you think?”
Shi Xingze looked at Xie Jinhan subconsciously, always feeling that the other party seemed to be particularly friendly today and even spoke for him more than once. He didn’t know what was going on in his mind.
Others felt that this method was feasible, so this group had a tentative idea of how to perform “The Wind Rises”.
After the group dispersed, Shi Xingze went to the bathroom to wash his face. The discussion just now was so intense that he didn’t notice the fine sweat on his forehead.
“This is you.”
Xie Jinhan stood behind Shi Xingze and saw Shi Xingze raising his head, making an “OK” gesture to the mirror in front of him, then putting down a few fingers and looking at Shi Xingze with a smile.
“I don’t understand.” Shi Xingze took out a tissue to wipe away the water droplets, his tone and expression were the same as usual, but Xie Jinhan refused to let him go: “Stop pretending, I won’t tell anyone.”
Xie Jinhan took back his right hand and put it in his pocket, looking at Shi Xingze with interest: “You are not like this, why did you avoid me just now? I have always been very accurate in reading people in this regard. What do you think, do you want to try it?”
Shi Xingze frowned and looked back: “Is this why you spoke for me just now?”
“Not entirely,” Xie Jinhan said nonchalantly: “Those people are chattering to death, which bothers me, but unfortunately now is not a good time to fall out. If they fall out, I will also be eliminated. Of course I can clearly distinguish the severity.”
Shi Xingze looked away, feeling that Xie Jinhan was not the same person as him. After tidying up his clothes, he walked to the door: “Please excuse me, I have to go back and rest.”
Xie Jinhan stepped aside to get out of the way and said to Shi Xingze’s back: “Friendly advice, don’t get too close to Huo Yan. People with such background and strength will only squeeze the resources of people like us in the Starlight Training Camp. Otherwise, why do you think I don’t like him?”
“Strength does not come from envy. This is also a friendly suggestion.” Shi Xingze did not look at Xie Jinhan’s expression. Strength is a player’s capital. Instead of envying others, Shi Xingze is more willing to make himself stronger.
Shi Xingze asked the prop sister of the program team to find a long stick of moderate weight from the warehouse, found an empty practice room, turned on the light and made a few gestures in the mirror, and sure enough, the long stick in his hand fell out of control.
He did not give up, and practiced slowly with a long stick, even if he could only get a good enough shape.It’s just that he hasn’t practiced for a long time and is a bit rusty. When he was turning the stick, he was accidentally hit on the back and legs with the stick. He had to stop practicing and rubbed his painful area with his teeth.
Shi Xingze looked at himself in the mirror and was a little worried. When his father liked opera, he asked him to study it for a while. Later, because the opera teacher moved there and there was no suitable teacher, he gradually put it aside. His father felt regretful every time he thought about it.
He and the long stick in his hand looked at each other in disbelief. It’s true that time is spent on skills.
When Shi Xingze was still worried, Brother Long suddenly called in. He opened his mouth to talk about the commercial: “Xingze, how is the recording over there? There is a small problem with the commercial here, and the filming may have to be postponed.”
“Extension? Didn’t you agree to go the day after tomorrow? What happened?” Shi Xingze sat up straight and asked.
Brother Long’s face sank on the other end of the phone, and he became very angry when he thought of Sun Wei’s triumphant look: “There is a small problem, someone wants to pry your resources, and I am still trying to coordinate. Don’t worry, I just told you first, so that you don’t have to go to the trip in vain the day after tomorrow. You can concentrate on recording your program, I will take care of the advertising.”
Someone wants to pry his resources?He is still a little transparent, and his only resources are Starlight Training Camp and this advertisement. Does anyone care about this?
After Brother Long told Shi Xingze, he hung up the phone and turned to call the person in charge of the advertising agency with a smile on his face: “Manager Zhao, I heard that our company’s agent Sun wants Jin Yan to shoot this advertisement? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. You have your own considerations, but…”
Brother Long changed the topic and said inadvertently: “Our Xingze has been a little busy recently. After all, the ranking has been improved again. Maybe it will be the third performance soon. If there is a chance, we can cooperate again.”
“Hey, Agent Pang, please wait a minute.” Manager Zhao on the other end of the phone seemed to cover the receiver and said something to the people around him. When he spoke again, he became polite: “We can discuss the advertising matter. When do you have time, can we come to the company and have tea together?”
Brother Long smiled honestly: “If Manager Zhao invites you, I will definitely come.”
Brother Long hung up the phone and scolded Sun Wei in his heart: Sun Wei, you still want to use new people to pry away Xingze’s resources, just dream!
