long live rebirth

"Like a drizzle falling in my heart, tears rippled

I asked Yu softly, where are you? Why haven't you replied to my letter for so long?

Thinking of your eyes, bright and resolute, the rain is miserable, watering my heart..."

Tao Yingying sang a cappella in front of Chen Luobin and Zhou Xingxing. Her singing voice was playful, with a hint of sadness and nostalgia, as if the singing voice was aged over the years and expressed from Tao Yingying's mouth.

At the end of the song, Chen Luobin clapped her hands. Tao Yingying's voice was really beautiful, and Chen Luobin found that it was a song that was made with all her heart. Chen Luobin vaguely guessed that there might be some sad story hidden in Tao Yingying's body.

Facing Chen Luobin's applause, Tao Yingying bowed and said: "Thank you."

Chen Luobin observed that there were tears falling on Tao Yingying's cheeks.

"Director Chen, how are you? Can you sign a contract?" Zhou Xingxing was also surprised by Tao Yingying's performance this time. Tao Yingying had sung in front of him once, but it was not this song.

"Yes." Chen Luobin nodded solemnly, and then took out a contract from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Tao Yingying: "Please take a look at this contract first. If you have no objection, please check the position of the declarant on pages 9, 12 and

Sign your name and date."

Tao Yingying took it, and Chen Luobin said again: "Old Zhou, let's go to the studio first. Tao Yingying, come over after you finish signing."

Tao Yingying nodded silently, seemingly still immersed in her own singing.

Chen Luobin gave her an encouraging look, and then walked out with Zhou Xingxing

In the office, Tao Yingying saw the two of them going out, and quietly took out her wallet from the pocket of her school uniform. She saw an old gray photo in the wallet. Tao Yingying looked at the middle-aged man with heavy makeup in the photo.

The woman smiled and said: "Mom, your daughter can be a star. Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely fulfill your dream."

After Tao Yingying finished speaking, her eyes turned to the window, but her heart drifted to more than ten years ago...

It was a cold rainy night, a certain wine shop in Luobei City

"Ms. Tao, please stop drinking and go home. I'll buy you the wine! There's no need to perform tonight, and today's wages will still be paid." A middle-aged woman in a black evening dress kept numbing her soul with alcohol, while beside her

But the wine manager hurriedly advised

The middle-aged woman glared at him: "Why... don't you sing? I don't need your pity!"

After saying that, the middle-aged woman staggered onto the stage. Under the neon lights, the middle-aged woman picked up the microphone. When the audience saw her coming on stage, bursts of applause burst out.

Like a drizzle falling in my heart, tears rippled

I asked Yu softly, where are you? Why haven't you replied to my letter for so long...

"It's great! It's this song "Dry Rain"! I listened to it several times, but I still feel so profound," one audience member said to another

"Did she write this song "Dry Rain" herself? Now this song is being circulated in wine in various cities," another audience member echoed.

The middle-aged woman's singing voice was sad and beautiful. No one knew that behind the stage, there was a 7-year-old girl who was secretly looking at the middle-aged woman's back behind the curtain, and said with a cheerful smile on her little face.

: "Mom, come on!"

The little girl's voice seems to be heard only by herself, but the little girl is very happy. Every time she watches her mother perform on the stage, she longs for when she can stand on such a stage.

Maybe soon I can be like my mother and become a star in everyone's eyes? The little girl thought so, holding the lollipop her mother bought for her in her mouth. Today is the little girl's birthday, and her mother specially bought her her favorite

sweetheart lollipop

"When you disappear, it's like a drizzle, going with the wind, leaving no trace, taking away my heart..." The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered, but the middle-aged woman on the stage seemed to be immersed in the sad tune.

Unable to extricate myself, I looked at the neon lights on the stage with misty eyes and walked toward the front in disorder, as if I wanted to catch something.

"Ah!!" As they advanced, screams rang out in the wine room, and the middle-aged woman stepped on the air and landed on her head, falling from the three-meter-high stage.

The little girl was so shocked that she threw away the lollipop in her mouth and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"

But the shocking blood stains quietly took away the life of the little girl's mother. The little girl's cries lingered in the wine again and again, becoming the most desolate note in the wine that night...

Tao Yingying was holding the pen, as if she had woken up from a dream. Her pretty face was now covered with cold sweat. Tao Yingying tremblingly signed her name and date on the contract.

Yes! She is the little girl in the story above! After the mother of a drunken singer’s illegitimate daughter passed away, Tao Yingying was adopted by a family who claimed to be her mother’s high school friends. Fast forward more than ten years, and the hurt and pain have not disappeared.

It was buried with the passage of time, but it was deeply hidden in Tao Yingying's heart. Every year that passed, the pain became clearer. Every time she walked down the street and saw a sweet lollipop, Tao Yingying would

Thinking of my mother and my former home

After signing the contract, Tao Yingying gently put down her pen. She was alone for a while, then opened the door and walked out.

The moment she walked out of the door, Tao Yingying glanced back at the office and gently left a message: "Chen Luobin, you are a good man, thank you."

"Sneeze!" In the studio, Chen Luobin sneezed. Who mentioned my name in broad daylight? Chen Luobin looked at his watch and briefly told the production staff the lyrics and tunes he had written.

fan

The production staff admired Chen Luobin's creative talent, but what surprised them was that Director Chen was actually a singer who couldn't even write musical notation.

In fact, Chen Luobin is indeed a person without any musical skills, but Chen Luobin borrowed the memories of his previous life and added music with Chinese style such as "East Wind Break", "Nocturne", "Qili Xiang", "Grandpa's Tea", etc.

The album also includes the singles "Quiet", "Thousands of Miles Away", and "Hair Like Snow". Chen Luobin's first album has seven songs.

As for the title song, Chen Luobin hesitated and chose "Thousands of Miles Away". After all, he was about to leave Luobei and go to Longjing to attend college. Chen Luobin felt deeply attached to his hometown.

"Director Chen, record the MV first. This time I specially invited director Li Mincai from South Korea who used to produce the MV for the hot group. He is waiting in the reception room now," Zhou Xingxing said.

"Is there enough time?" Chen Luobin asked

"It will take a month to record 5 of the MVs, plus production, which is probably quite stressful, but if everything goes well, I can barely finish it," Zhou Xingxing said after calculation.

"At the very least, we have to work overtime at night to record the songs, so the CD should be the first to come out," Zhou Xingxing added, sticking out his tongue.

Chen Luobin nodded solemnly. He knew the urgency of time. He would also be filming a martial arts movie "The Swordsman Without a Sha" in September. If it was delayed until then, there would definitely be a conflict in the schedule.

"Invite Director Li over, I'll wait for him in the studio," Chen Luobin said

"Okay" Zhou Xingxing hurriedly went to the reception room to ask for Director Li.

While he was going out, Tao Yingying walked in.

"The contract is signed," Tao Yingying walked to Chen Luobin and whispered. Chen Luobin found that Tao Yingying looked a little sad today. She was a lively and cheerful girl, what happened today? Chen Luobin was wondering in his heart, but he was smiling on his face.

Say: "Miss Tao, welcome"

Tao Yingying nodded silently, and Chen Luobin said: "Lao Zhou went to call the director. We will listen to his arrangements later."

"Okay" Tao Yingying lowered her head and said only one word.

After a while, Zhou Xingxing led Director Li into the studio

"Director Li is our Director Chen," Zhou Xingxing said with a smile.

Director Li glanced at Chen Luobin and said in stiff Chinese dialect: "Hello, Director Chen!"

Chen Luobin shook hands with Director Li, and Director Li said: "Director Chen, your "Thousands of Miles Away" is very beautiful, the lyrics are beautiful, and it is very good!"

Director Li's jerky Chinese dialect made Chen Luobin amused. Chen Luobin smiled and said: "It's best if Director Li appreciates nature. Director Li, let me introduce to you. This is the heroine of this MV, Miss Tao Yingying."

Director Li's eyes stayed on Tao Yingying's face for a moment, and then said: "Innocent little beauty, good!"

Director Li's words made Chen Luobin stunned. Then Chen Luobin turned around and saw Tao Yingying's shy look. He laughed and said: "Okay, Director Li, let's confirm the shooting plan and schedule."

Director Li nodded. Zhou Xingxing led them to sit down on the sofa. Chen Luobin discussed with Director Li the specific matters related to the title album.

Finally, they agreed to go to Shanghai to shoot the first set of scenes tomorrow morning.

After bidding farewell to Director Li, Chen Luobin stood up and said to Zhou Xingxing: "Old Zhou, go and book your flight tickets first, and by the way, book a hotel in Shanghai for Director Li and the relevant film crew."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Chen," Zhou Xingxing nodded vigorously.

Chen Luobin turned to look at Tao Yingying and said: "It's time to go back after get off work."

Tao Yingying looked at Chen Luobin and asked weakly: "I just worked at your house for three hours today."

Chen Luobin smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it today, but starting from tomorrow, you have to work in the hotel."

"What!" Tao Yingying looked at Chen Luobin with wide eyes: "You won't ask me to go to the hotel and be your nanny."

"Haha, that's what it says in the contract, you have to read it carefully!" Chen Luobin was amused.

"Then we can't live in the same room," Tao Yingying said, biting her teeth.

"If you can't live here, then you can live there." Chen Luobin stretched out and then winked at Tao Yingying and said with a smirk, "See you at the airport tomorrow!"

Looking at Chen Luobin's leaving figure, Tao Yingying glared at him and said, "My impression of you has changed, but I didn't expect you to still be so bad!"
