Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Han Chun was surprised when he heard this, but it made sense after thinking about it.

Chen Guoguo also likes to sing. When she was in junior high school, she was called the lark of the class. However, people only saw her excellent academic performance and ignored this.

When she was in high school, someone once suggested that Chen Guoguo apply to the Conservatory of Music to pursue the art path, but her parents were firmly opposed.

Wouldn't it be better to get into a good university and find a stable job? Why go and sing?

Look at how chaotic the entertainment industry is right now!

Chen Guoguo was an obedient child. She liked singing but did not want to be a singer. Literature was her favorite, so she applied for the School of Liberal Arts of Sichuan University and finally got her wish.

"Guoguo, I hope we can both enter the semi-finals at the same time! It's best to go to Yanjing to participate in the finals together!" Han Chun said as he walked.

Yanjing?

A handsome and gentle middle-aged man's face immediately appeared in Chen Guoguo's mind.

"Zhuangzi: The Great Master" written by Lao Zhuang said: "When the spring dries up, the fish and the fish are on the land. They are wet with each other and soaked with foam. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

At that time in Yanjing, she got out of his car gracefully and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people, thinking this sentence in her heart.

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other.

But, did he really do it?

She thinks she can do it.

But why is there still that clean white crew-neck shirt in the innermost layer of his suitcase?

Why do you always like to listen to the songs he wrote?

Does this count as forgetting?

she does not know.

"Guoguo, what's wrong with you?" Han Chun noticed his best friend's strange behavior and asked.

"No, it's nothing." Chen Guoguo shook her head hurriedly: "Let's go."

"Um"

Ever since Guoguo secretly went to Zhangjiakou to attend the music festival during her summer vacation, Han Chun found that she was sometimes like this, suddenly in a daze.

When he returned to his hometown during the holidays and was playing with her, Chen Guoguo secretly told her about this, which shocked Han Chun.

I didn’t expect that Chen Guoguo, who has always been a good girl, would be so courageous!

If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go thousands of miles away to play alone.

“Is it fun at the music festival?”

"It's fun. The atmosphere of listening to music live is great. I meet many famous bands and my favorite singers, and..."

Seeing Chen Guoguo suddenly stop, Han Chun hurriedly asked: "What else?"

"No, it's nothing. It's fun anyway."

"Then are you going to play again?"

Chen Guoguo was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "I'm not going. It's enough to experience some things once."

The two broke up at the subway station and went back to school.

Five days later, Chen Guoguo was reading a book in the library, "Afternoon Music Time with Seiji Ozawa".

In fact, she had read this book a long time ago, and she could memorize some of the classic sentences in it, but when she came to the library recently, she sometimes borrowed it and read it.

At this time, a text message came from the mobile phone placed on the desk. Chen Guoguo picked it up and saw that it was a message from the organizing committee of the "Happy Girls" competition. She had successfully passed the audition and entered the top 50 in the Chengdu competition area. Three days later, the second round of promotion competition was held at the Palace of Culture, with 50 going into 20.

Don’t you know Han Chunjin?

Chen Guoguo was just about to send a WeChat message to her friend to ask about the situation when she saw Han Chun's phone call and hurriedly answered the call.

Han Chun's loud voice came from inside:

"Guoguo, I just received the news that I have entered the top 50!" Han Chun looked very excited on the phone.

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm in the library." Chen Guoguo whispered, and some of the classmates reading around her were already casting dissatisfied looks.

She quickly left the room and went to a quiet place in the corridor before saying, "Congratulations."

"What about you? Did you receive the text message?"

"I just received it too."

"Okay, let's keep up the good work and advance to the top 20 together!"

"Yeah. Work hard." Chen Guoguo was a little perfunctory.

She was not as excited about this as Han Chun.

Of course I am happy, but it will pass quickly.

Originally, I was "forced" to be dragged in, so I'll just take it wherever I go.

But now that you’re in, you have to be prepared.

that is it.

Chen Guoguo returned to the library, put the books back on the shelves, and hurried out.

Three days later, the second round of the "Happy Girls" promotion competition was held as scheduled at the Chengdu Cultural Palace. Different from the last audition, this time singers can bring their own accompaniment tapes to sing, and Chen Guoguo still sang "Love Song 1990".

The judges were still the three from the audition. They naturally knew this beautiful female college student. When she heard her announce the song title, Liu Qing frowned slightly and asked softly:

"Classmate Chen Guoguo, why do you always sing the same song?"

"Because I like this song."

Chen Guoguo's answer was crisp and clear.

The three judges shook their heads helplessly.

What a willful girl, this will only hurt yourself.

But the other party insisted on doing so.

"let's start."

The music started, and the prelude was a burst of guitar SOLO.

Liu Qing listened carefully.

She has heard the version played by singer Huang Haiming. The intro is different from this one. The intro of the song sung by Huang Haiming does not have such a long guitar solo.

Compared with Huang Haiming's version of SOLO, which had a slightly more gorgeous intro, this version is pure but full of a touch of emotion.

Liu Qing suddenly remembered.

It seems to be very similar to the version sung by Yu Dongqing, the creator of this song. However, Yu Dongqing did not specifically release a single. The most widely circulated online was his band's performance at the Midi Music Festival.

However, the effect of this accompaniment tape is not very good. It is obviously not made by a professional organization, but seems to be made by an individual.

Liu Qing guessed correctly.

Chen Guoguo did use the version sung by Yu Dongqing, but unfortunately she couldn't find the accompaniment tape of this version online. For this reason, she specifically found a fellow from the school's music department and asked for help to remove the tape from the Internet. Naturally, the effect was not good. That's pretty good.

But it doesn't matter, she likes it.

After the prelude, Chen Guoguo sang softly.

Black eyes and your smiling face

It’s hard to forget the change in your appearance no matter what

The light old days just slipped away

When I turn around and look back, several years have passed by

Sure enough, with accompaniment, the effect is much better than singing a cappella.

Especially the long guitar solo in the middle adds to the faint lovesickness of this song.

It seems that Yu Dongqing is also a master arranger.

Liu Qing sighed in his heart.

Of course, this girl Chen Guoguo sings well, she really sings with her heart, unlike some singers who don't sing.

But showing off his skills.

After a song is sung, it’s natural to comment.

Liu Qing thought for a while and said: "Classmate Chen Guoguo, let me remind you, if you can enter the next round, please change the song. No matter how many times you sing a good song in a row, both the judges and the audience will get tired of it. It will help the judges give you a fair score, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Chen Guoguo bit her lip and said.

Next round, will there be a next round?

it is not important.
