Chapter 320： long overdue song

“It feels like your friend has always been in trouble and has never stopped.”

Zhang Wei raised her hands in front of her and looked at the newly painted nails carefully to check if there were any flaws, and said to Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai turned his head and glanced at Zhang Wei, "There are many people who are famous, and when they are famous, they will be in trouble."

Zhang Wei is the actress who starred with Li Zhibai in "The Ballad of White Jade".

 She debuted earlier than Li Zhibai, and is now thirty years old, but she has always maintained a girlish persona and is very popular. She is an actress on the same level as Jiang Yuqian.

After starring in the fairy tale drama "White Jade Ballad" with Li Zhibai this time, because the drama was about to premiere, the two met again to promote the drama together.

Privately, Zhang Wei is a female star who is well protected by her team.

She is somewhat arrogant and arrogant.

However, Li Zhibai has also matured a lot after experiencing Mengli. He has probably seen the most annoying thing he has ever seen. Li Zhibai feels that Zhang Wei's princess disease can be tolerated.

Zhang Wei said: "Your friend is so powerful now, are you jealous?"

“What are you jealous of?”

"I'm jealous that everyone praises his acting skills." Zhang Wei said, "Your acting skills are not bad, but you just didn't act in those serious dramas like him."

Li Zhibai nodded, "Well, so I have nothing to be jealous of. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, everyone will naturally see that my acting skills are equally good."

Zhang Wei laughed twice and said, "Just wait and watch the show "The Ballad of White Jade" when it is aired. There will definitely be a lot of curses."

“You are so sure that you will be scolded when this drama is broadcast, why did you accept it in the first place?” Li Zhibai asked.

Zhang Wei shrugged her shoulders and said, "The fairy tale drama has so many people criticizing it, which proves its popularity. Anyway, it's not because I'm a bad actor. Now, as long as it's a fairy tale drama, I will be scolded."

Li Zhibai found Zhang Wei's brain circuit amazing and even incredible.

“Then can’t you take on a drama where there aren’t that many people scolding you?”

"The remuneration offered by other dramas is not as high as that of "The Ballad of White Jade"." Zhang Wei said, "It's easy to criticize, everyone knows that fairy tale dramas are prone to hits, and the basic budget is large, so the producers are also generous in remuneration. ,you do not know?"

Li Zhibai: “I haven’t seen the paycheck very much.”

"Oh, yes, your family is not short of this money." Zhang Wei responded, "Then I am still short of money. The salary is generous, so of course I am here."

At this time, someone came to invite them.

The interview room has been set up.

-

After the interview, Li Zhibai and Zhang Wei separated, got in the car, and set off to catch the next announcement.

Zhou Pingan was also in the car.

"How come you have the energy to accompany me? Don't you have to accompany Ma Zhiyuan?" Li Zhibai started to behave strangely every day when he saw Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Pingan said: "Now is your promotion period. Of course I have to focus on you. I have high hopes for "The Ballad of White Jade". This drama can allow you to gain a firm foothold in the ranks of first-line actors."

“Don’t put your hat on me, what kind of first-line actor is this? They are all idol dramas, modern puppets, ancient puppets, no matter how popular they are, they are only liked by fans.” Li Zhibai said, “He is still a first-line actor.”

Zhou Ping'an: ""Along with You to the End of the World" is an idol drama, but it also brought you very good feedback. How can it not be a fairy tale drama? Among the current first-line actresses, who has not had a fairy tale? Do you have the hit drama in hand?”

Li Zhibai curled his lips.

“Look at Lu Yanhe, wouldn’t he still be in trouble if he didn’t film idol dramas?”

"What kind of trouble is that? No one scolded him." Li Zhibai said, "No one can scold him for this."

"Huh, do you think it will be fine if the audience doesn't scold him?" Zhou Ping'an said, "A "Six People" broke up with Beijing and Taiwan, and a "Three Mountains" had such a quarrel with the Xuanfa company Sanhe. Do you think other people will see it? In this situation, wouldn’t you have any thoughts about him?”

Li Zhibai: “How come I heard that everyone is vying to cooperate with him?”

Zhou Ping'an: "What if one day Lu Yanhe stops being popular? This acting career has always had its ups and downs. Who can stay popular? When Lu Yanhe stops being popular, who would be willing to do trouble like him? Give him a chance at that time?"

Li Zhibai was silent.

"It's one thing to ask you to make "The Ballad of White Jade". I think this drama will be a hit. It's another thing. You have to take a look. The production company of this drama is Zefan Film and Television, one of the largest film and television production companies in this industry. First, if you don’t take this opportunity to connect with them, how can they prioritize you in their future dramas?”

Zhou Ping'an said sincerely: "I have been telling you to control your temper. Do you think I have nothing to do and I have to choke you? Don't offend a few people. No one knows when in the future, those people will be right." Your career has been affected. When you helped Lu Yanhe attack Beijing and Taiwan on the Internet, Lu Yanhe had the success of "Six People", and Beijing and Taiwan still wanted to maintain a relationship with him. How about you in the past six months? I won’t even come to you anymore, I just want to block you.”

“I don’t care, what kind of work do they have to do?” Li Zhibai curled his lips.

Zhou Ping'an: "You are good at one or two companies, but what about ten or twenty companies? If you don't control your temper, one day there will be fewer and fewer people who want to cooperate with you, and eventually there will be only a few around you. People who want to make quick money from your popularity, think about what kind of people they are at that time. "

Li Zhibai: "If I get to that point, what am I still doing in the entertainment industry? I should retire as soon as possible. You say I have a bad temper and don't control my temper. I think I'm pretty good, and no collaborators with evil intentions dare to approach me." , Only those who know my true temperament won’t mind, just let Beijing and Taiwan care about me.”

"Don't think about it, there are only eternal benefits. "Six People" is so popular, but Beijing and Taiwan have been spending money to bring Lu Yanhe back. When Lu Yanhe really comes back, you will become that clown."

"Then you just wait until Lu Yanhe goes back." Li Zhibai laughed sarcastically, "Why do you think he won't let go? I regret it. If it weren't for what I said on Weibo, he would make a public statement. He said that he would never cooperate with Jingtai in the follow-up series of "Six People". He and Jingtai may not have any room for maneuver when you started to stir up trouble here, but he refused to agree to it because he refused to slap me in the face. Go make money that you can obviously make.”

Zhou Ping'an saw what he had said, and Li Zhi was unable to make any progress, so he had no choice but to give up again.

He said: "Just be stubborn, forget it if you don't listen to me. Don't rant about "White Jade Ballad" when the time comes, saying it is a boring fairy tale drama. The fans who like you and the audiences who like fairy tale dramas are real Like, don’t provoke them.”

“Why am I provoking them? I just don’t like you. I am a kind person.”

Zhou Ping'an was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

-

Although he was a tough talker in front of Zhou Pingan, Li Zhibai immediately took out his mobile phone when Zhou Pingan got off the car and sent a message to Lu Yanhe: Will you go back to Ziyuan Bridge tonight?

Lu Yanhe said: I'm going back, but it will probably be very late. There is a big night show in the evening.

Li Zhibai: OK.

Lu Yanhe asked: Is something wrong?

Li Zhibai: It's nothing. I just saw what Sister Ziyan said on the Internet and wanted to ask you what's going on.

Lu Yanhe: It’s a small thing, it doesn’t have much impact.

Li Zhibai: This is no small matter. Many people are discussing you. Even Zhang Wei and I were promoting "The Ballad of White Jade", and she was also discussing you, saying that you are always in trouble.

Lu Yanhe: That seems to be the case to me.

Li Zhibai: Do you think this troubled image is a good one?

Lu Yanhe: If possible, I certainly don’t want to give others this impression, but it is also beyond my control. Things happen and I can only deal with them.

Li Zhibai: Well, I don’t know how to say it. I think you have gotten yourself into too much trouble. Starting from "Six People", all kinds of troubles seem to come to your door. If it weren't for "Six People" " and "Three Mountains" have done well enough. Maybe you are in a completely different situation now.

Lu Yanhe was stunned when he saw this message from Li Zhibai.

When did he have so many troubles that Li Zhibai came to worry about him?

Li Zhibai is usually the one who causes the most trouble and worries people, right?

Lu Yanhe didn't know that Li Zhibai had listened to Zhou Ping'an's advice to calm down his temper and used it to persuade him.

-

Lu Yanhe didn’t finish work until one o’clock in the morning.

“Brother Dong, I’m going back to Ziyuan Bridge.”

Zou Dong nodded and responded. As soon as he started the car, he heard Lu Yanhe yawn, so he said, "Yan He, why don't you just sit in the car for a while and I'll call you when we get there."

Lu Yanhe hummed and closed his eyes.

However, probably because the night show aroused a lot of emotions just now, I am actually a little excited now. After closing my eyes, I didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Lu Yanhe opened his eyes, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the latest information.

Today is the broadcast time of "Idol Era", and there are many terms related to this program on the hot search.

This program is getting more and more popular. Qin Zhikun is indeed a master of this type of program, including topic marketing, artist competition, weekly rankings... To put it simply, Qin Zhikun just sets up a stage, and the real content is completed by the artists themselves, which is very different from previous programs. .

The stage of a top idol artist like Ma Zhiyuan looks much richer and more advanced than the stage of some ordinary artists. From the stage beauty to the choreography, the quality in all aspects is clearly different.

In order to compete for this ranking, everyone must put on a better stage.

In the words of fans of this show, the quality of the stage has been getting better and better over the past few months.

Very curled. Lu Yanhe pays attention to this program mainly because Li Zhibai, Yan Liang and Liu Zhiyin all have performances in this program.

Especially for Liu Zhiyin, her focus is almost entirely on this stage, and she will perform on one stage every two weeks on average.

Her experience in overseas girl groups finally put many of her skills to use.

As she gained more and more fans on this show, her previous "Girl Group" column in "Jump Up" magazine also had a section of text intercepted from time to time to form a certain topic and grab traffic. .

In the "Young Days" group, everyone often discusses her stage performance.

Compared to Li Zhibai and Yan Liang who have already started acting, Liu Zhiyin is serious about being an idol artist.

Lu Yanhe watched some of the more popular stages in this issue of "Idol Era" in the car.

After watching it, I have the feeling that this program is indeed getting better and better.

The stage is becoming more and more exciting.

Lu Yanhe asked Zou Dong: "Brother Dong, have you watched the program "Idol Era"?"

"I haven't watched it." Zou Dong said, "I don't like variety shows very much."

Also, at Zou Dong’s age, he doesn’t seem to be the age to like idol artists.

Zou Dong asked: “Do you want to return to the stage as an idol artist?”

Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I still know myself, I'm not suitable."

Zou Dong actually doesn’t understand why Lu Yanhe said he is not suitable. He also debuted through the idol talent show back then. Although he is not very popular, there are various factors. Now that Lu Yanhe is famous, if he wants to do stage work, there will definitely be many people willing to help him. It just depends on whether he wants to do it or not.

Lu Yanhe didn’t know what Zou Dong was thinking.

Actually, Lu Yanhe himself didn’t know what he was thinking. Why did he think that he was not suitable to be an idol so early on? He had not thought deeply about this issue. However, Lu Yanhe does not regret this decision. Since he doesn't have much excitement about the stage, nor does he feel as comfortable as in front of the camera. He often has a feeling of "like God helps", it means that he is not suitable.

-

When we returned to Ziyuan Bridge, it was already two o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yanhe simply took a shower and went to bed.

He slept deeply and didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next morning.

His schedule used to be very regular, but it was completely disrupted during filming.

By the time he came out of the room, Li Zhibai had already put his bag on his back and looked like he was about to go out.

“Yo, you’re awake.”

Lu Yanhe hummed, his eyes were as sleepy as clouds in the sky. He looked at Li Zhibai and asked, "Are you going out?"

“I made an appointment with the dance troupe to rehearse.” Li Zhibai said, “You don’t have to film today?”

"Yesterday I filmed until two o'clock in the morning. I was given a day off today. I don't have to go in the morning."

“Tsk, tsk, I’m pretty good to you.” Li Zhibai said.

“How are you going to rehearse? Isn’t “The Ballad of White Jade” about to be broadcast? No need to run for promotion?”

“I ran around all day yesterday, so I’m rarely free today.”

“It’s so rare that you have free time, and you didn’t take a break, and even took the initiative to arrange rehearsals. What are you...” Lu Yanhe was so frightened that he became more energetic. His eyes were brightly written with the words “Did you get snatched away by something?”.

Li Zhibai: “…”

"The show "The Age of Idols" is so complicated. What can I do? Could it be that my stage performance is worse than that of Ma Zhiyuan? I can't afford to lose face."

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but want to laugh.

When I said this, I felt relieved again.

Li Zhibai is a person who is afraid of being tired and embarrassed. They are in conflict with each other. When you are tired, it doesn't matter whether you are embarrassed or not, just lie down. But when you are really embarrassed, you will get up and work hard, swearing.

Li Zhibai asked: "Have you considered playing "Idol Era"?"

“I don’t have time to prepare the stage. Besides, I don’t have that much desire to be on stage. It’s okay for me to sing a song, but just singing doesn’t fit the tone of “Idol Era”.

Li Zhibai: “Don’t forget the song you promised to write for me.”

“It’s already written.” Lu Yanhe said.

“What?” Li Zhibai paused, showing surprise.

Lu Yanhe said: "The songs for you and Yan Liang have been written. I will give them to you when I find someone to record the demo."

Li Zhibai made a continuous sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak -" in disbelief, "When did you write it?"

“I wrote it while the crew was waiting for the play.” Lu Yanhe smiled, “I kept saying that I wanted to write it, but I never finished it. It took me a long time to finish it.”

“Bring it out quickly and let us hear it.”

“I told you that I still need to find someone to make a demo.”

“What kind of demo are you doing? Just show us the score.” Li Zhibai said, “It’s not like we can’t understand the score.”

Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "What are you in a hurry? Go and rehearse quickly. I'm not even awake yet."

Li Zhibai glanced at him sideways, as if impatient, wanting to see it right away, but finally held back, "Okay, hurry up, I'm going to slap Ma Zhiyuan hard in the face."

Lu Yanhe said "I understand" and then yawned.

Li Zhibai is gone.

After Lu Yanhe washed his face and brushed his teeth, he returned to his room, opened his laptop, and found the two songs he had created during this period.

In fact, he didn’t have to spend so long writing the song, but he had to find a song that was suitable for the two of them to perform on stage, which was quite confusing.

Finally, Lu Yanhe found a song for Li Zhibai called "Bewitched". The singer was called Deng Dian, who was not very famous. But when Lu Yanhe was in high school, this song was popular in the school because of a music variety show. It's quite popular and has been played many times on the school radio station.

Lu Yanhe feels that this song suits Li Zhibai’s “tough” temperament. The song itself has a strong electronic and rhythmic feel, which is suitable for Li Zhibai to adapt for the stage.

The song Lu Yanhe found for Yan Liang was one that would be known by more people and be more popular at the public level: "Young Battlefield" by Zhang Jie. This song, in the time and space before Lu Yanhe traveled through it, belonged to the "college entrance examination battle song". There are still about three months left before the college entrance examination, which is just a good time for Yan Liang to polish a stage, and the program will be broadcast before the college entrance examination in June.

The songs are all OK, just the lyrics... Lu Yanhe only remembered some fields, and he had to make up many places by himself and fill them in.

He carefully reviewed the lyrics of the two songs and asked Chen Siqi: Are you still interested in helping me arrange the music?

Chen Siqi:? Are you going to sing again?

Chen Siqi: You have a lot of work.

Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry, and said: I don’t sing, I wrote it for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

Chen Siqi: Let me tell you, I thought you were going to return to being a singer again.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: It’s okay to sing occasionally, but I won’t go the professional route.

Chen Siqi: OK, send it over.

-

In fact, if Lu Yanhe wanted to find one, he wouldn't be able to find a professional arranger. However, probably because of the song "Remember", Lu Yanhe suddenly had an idea. Maybe there are many, many more songs behind one song. There are two arranged versions, but the first arranged version must be Chen Siqi’s version.

This inexplicable thought just popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind.

Lu Yanhe didn’t tell Chen Siqi, and he didn’t know how many more songs he would come up with in the future, but if there were any more, the first arrangement would be left to Chen Siqi.

He thought so and subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. (End of chapter)
