The straight man in the entertainment circle

As soon as the countdown ended, the lights on the stage dimmed. After a while, Lin Li came on stage.

It starts with a song.

"The Rainy Season of Seventeen".

All the audience at the scene sang along. These people who came were all loyal Imperial Guards and were very familiar with Lin Li's songs. Moreover, Lin Li discovered that all the Imperial Guards who came today had a copy of Lin Li's album.

The opening of this song also has a profound meaning, because today's birthday means that Lin Li's seventeenth birthday has become a thing of the past. This is a kind of farewell.

After the song was sung, Lin Li was about to speak when suddenly a breathy voice sounded: "Okay, thank you everyone. I know that many of the people here today are around 17 years old, so this song was sung by Lin Li to himself. , I also sing it to you, I hope you will always remember this seventeen-year-old!"

Lin Li looked around and saw that the person coming turned out to be Xu Zhe!

When the imperial guards at the scene saw Xu Zhe's appearance, they all screamed.

Xu Zhe came to be the host of Lin Li's adult ceremony!

Xu Zhe is a mainstay of Mango Channel, and he traveled all the way to be the host for Lin Li. This is really the kind of treatment only a superstar can get.

Moreover, not all superstars can hire Xu Zhe. Even superstars who don’t have such a good personal relationship with Xu Zhe may not be able to hire him.

For a newcomer like Lin Li, who has only been in the industry for half a year, it can be said to be an honor for Xu Zhe to host the birthday banquet.

Although it was not ruled out that Jiang Da and the others paid a high appearance fee, Lin Li still felt that Xu Zhe came not because of the money. With Lin Li's perception, he could clearly feel Xu Zhe's preference for him.

This preference is more of an appreciation.

Lin Li was stunned when he saw Xu Zhe appear. He had always thought that there would be no host tonight, and they had not mentioned the previous process with Jiang Da and the others.

These people are really having a hard time hiding this from themselves!

Lin Li stepped forward and hugged Xu Zhe.

"Hello, Teacher Xu, why didn't anyone tell me you would come?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "I told you, it won't be called a surprise. We have prepared a lot of surprises for you today."

The Royal Guards at the scene screamed, as if they were preparing a surprise for them.

Lin Li was a little moved and said, "Thank you everyone."

Xu Zhe hosted: "Lin Li, you are 18 years old today. What do you want to say?"

"Well... I don't have anything to say. I just think it feels good to have so many people celebrate my birthday with me!"

The scene was filled with screams, Xu Zhe said: "There will be more people to spend every birthday with you in the future, right?"

"right!!"

The scene was filled with roars and tsunamis.

"I think everyone must not be satisfied after listening to one song. Lin Li, do you have to sing one more?"

Lin Lidao: "The second song "I Feel Like a Superstar" was promised before, but now I'm not sure about your process. You haven't changed it yet."

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "No change, come on, today, you are a superstar!"

The light sticks were waved at the scene, and everyone in the audience sang "Feel Like a Superstar" in unison along with the accompaniment. This song has become the exclusive song of the Royal Guards to cheer Lin Li, and naturally everyone can sing it.

The whole audience sang loudly, and the sound enveloped everyone. It felt great!

[Ah, the atmosphere here is so good! 】

[Although Lin Li has many negative fans, the loyalty of Lin Li is really rare in the entertainment industry. 】

[If I can have such a birthday party, I would like it to be a birthday party in the future! 】

[Boss, I love you! 】

【I will definitely be included in future birthday parties! 】

…………

After singing the song "Feeling Like a Superstar", Lin Li said to the band: "I rarely have the opportunity to introduce my band to you. Today I want to introduce these friends of mine to you."

"Bandmaster Wang Tuo..."

The big screen showed a shot of the band. Wang Tuo in the band stood up and bowed to the imperial guards at the venue. The audience gave him warm applause.

"Drummer Wang Xiaoyan..."

"Guitarist Ge Yingjun..."

"Backing singer Zhang Haiyan..."

…………

Every time someone is introduced, there will be a burst of warm applause.

After introducing the band, Xu Zhe came up and said, "We all know that Wang Tuo and the others have been Lin Li's band since he won the "Super Voice" championship. You know many of them, right?"

"know!"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I heard that after they became Lin Li's royal band, their popularity increased greatly. Now most of them have nearly a million fans, right?"

Many people shouted. Lin Li had good hearing. He heard someone say two million. It seemed that the most people had two million fans. This was something Lin Li didn't notice at ordinary times.

Two million fans are comparable to ordinary singers who are not famous.

This number of fans is already very large among domestic bands.

"Lin Li, you should know that this song "Feeling Like a Superstar" has become the military song of the Royal Guards, right?"

"Know."

"It seems like you actually wrote a military song, right?"

The whole audience shouted: "The red flag is flying!"

Lin Lida said: "Do you want me to sing "Red Flag Flying"?"

"Don't worry, today is your birthday party. I can't keep asking you to sing. Let's give you a surprise first."

The whole crowd cheered.

Lin Li was completely unaware of the surprise and said, "Okay, let me see what you did without telling me."

Xu Zhe said with a smile: "Actually, even if I don't tell you, you should be able to guess that someone is here to wish you a birthday."

The whole audience shouted: "Wu Ruobing!!"

Xu Zhe said: "The crowd's voice is very loud. To be honest, I haven't seen Ruobing for a long time. I really want to see her."

During the competition, Xu Zhe's favorite was Wu Ruobing, followed by Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, you didn't come to host my birthday party just to meet her, right?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said: "You have discovered all this, how awesome!"

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, now that everyone has guessed it, I think there is no need to hide it anymore. Come out, classmate Wu Ruobing!"

Wu Ruobing walked out from the backstage, and the crowd cheered.

Wu Ruobing wore a beige sweater tonight with a black pleated skirt. She was youthful and energetic, full of student spirit, with a bow tie and a girlish look. The high ponytail made her even more playful.

When Lin Li picked up his father today, he didn't see Wu Ruobing coming, so he thought she hadn't come, but he didn't expect that she still came.

Lin Li looked at Wu Ruobing and found that she seemed to be a little thinner. She must have been under a lot of academic pressure in her senior year of high school.

"when did you come?"

"I came with my uncle and my parents."

Wu Ruobing pointed to the guest seats in the audience, where Wu Yong, Zhang Li and Lin Li's parents were sitting together.

"I didn't see you."

Wu Ruobing said angrily: "You have grown taller now, so you can't see me anymore."

Lin Li was several centimeters taller than when he left Sioux City. When Wu Ruobing saw Lin Li today, she felt that he had grown taller and teased him.

"That's because you haven't grown taller. You can't blame me! Didn't you grow taller even in high school?"

Wu Ruobing's height of 1.6 meters is not considered short among Jiangnan girls, but compared with Lin Li's current height of 1.8 meters, she is indeed not tall.

Everyone laughed when they saw that Lin Li and Wu Ruobing started to hurt each other as soon as they met.

Wu Ruobing was very angry after hearing what Lin Li said. She reached out and slapped Lin Li's arm.

"Ahem, cough, cough, I'm still here..." Xu Zhe reminded.

Wu Ruobing then turned to Xu Zhe, hugged him gently, and said, "Hello, Teacher Xu."

"Why, we haven't seen each other for a few months, and I have changed from Brother Xu to Teacher Xu. Am I aging so fast?"

Everyone laughed, and Wu Ruobing said embarrassedly: "I used to call you Brother Xu, but people said I was neither old nor young, and called me a green tea bitch, which made me dare not call you anymore!"

"You have to learn more from Lin Li about what those people do."

Wu Ruobing smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Xu."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "You hugged me, but you haven't hugged today's birthday boy yet."

Wu Ruobing glanced at Lin Li and said, "Him? I don't want him."

Countless imperial guards below shouted: "We want it!"

Xu Zhe said: "Ruobing came all the way today. We are really envious of the relationship between you two. So what gift have you prepared for Lin Li's eighteenth birthday today?"

Wu Ruobing smiled sheepishly and said, "I don't know how to choose gifts, so I chose a suit for Lin Li. Everyone said that adults should also have a suit."

As Wu Ruobing said, someone came up with a gift box containing a suit.

"Put it on!"

Many fans below shouted that Lin Li had never seen him wearing a suit.

After hearing this, Wu Ruobing opened the gift box and said, "Put it on, Lin Li, everyone shouted."

After Wu Ruobing finished speaking, the guards at the venue shouted one after another, asking Lin Li to wear a suit.

Xu Zhe said: "Then let's ask Lin Li to step down and change his clothes, okay?"

"good!"

"Lin Li, go ahead and change, or do you want to change here?"

Lin Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the back and change."

Lin Li took his clothes and pants and went to the backcourt to change. On the stage, Xu Zhe and Wu Ruobing chatted for a while about interesting things about Lin Li's childhood.

"Ruobing, we all know that you and Lin Li grew up together, right?"

"Well, we have known each other for a long time."

"Then do you have any interesting stories about Lin Li that you can share with us?"

The audience screamed when they heard it.

Wu Ruobing thought for a while and said, "Can you tell me?"

"Okay!" Everyone in the audience answered on behalf of Xu Zhe and Lin Li.

"People won't like it if I say bad things about Lin Li." Wu Ruobing was a little afraid to say it.

"like!"

The audience shouted.

Xu Zhe laughed and said, "The Imperial Guards are really different. Everyone likes to hear Lin Li's embarrassing stories."

"Then... let me tell you one thing. I remember when I was a child, I was hungry once and wanted to go to Lin Li's house for dinner, but I was too embarrassed to say so, so I secretly asked Lin Li what delicious food my aunt had cooked for him at noon."

"Lin Li said he cooked braised pork or something, and then I said I was so envious... waiting for him to ask me to eat together..."

"In the end, Lin Li asked me if I was really envious?"

"I'm really jealous, but..."

Wu Ruobing laughed when she said this, "In the end, Lin Li came to my house and told me, don't envy my mother. You can cook braised pork for me if you want. I'll give you this chance!"

Everyone laughed after hearing this. It was indeed Lin Li, and his imagination was so strange.

Xu Zhe also smiled and said, "Why do I think Lin Li did nothing wrong?"

Everyone laughed again and chatted a few more words on the stage. After a while, Lin Li came on stage.

The suit chosen by Wu Ruobing is a black puff-sleeved suit. The neatly cut collar and irregularly designed sleeves make the overall style handsome yet casual. Coupled with Lin Li's slender body and increasingly elegant face, , Lin Li suddenly matured a lot and became more handsome and attractive.

So when the big screen showed Lin Li's appearance, everyone in the venue screamed.

Even the people in the live broadcast room were stunned.

[Wow, it’s really beautiful! 】

[Wu Ruobing is so good at choosing! 】

[Lin Li is so handsome, why didn’t I notice it before? 】

[I used to think that Lin Li was a powerful person, but now it seems that he is an idol! 】

[Lin Li is a powerful and idolized person! 】

[You can obviously rely on your face to make a living, but you rely on your talent? 】

【I really love this outfit! 】

…………

On the stage, Xu Zhe saw Lin Li dressed up and couldn't help but praise: "It looks really good. You can become a model now."

Wu Ruobing smiled and said: "He is too short to be a model."

Lin Li gestured to Wu Ruobing's head and said, "Huh? Who is talking? Why can't I see anyone?"

Wu Ruobing stood on tiptoes angrily and stared into Lin Li's eyes to vent her dissatisfaction.

The audience laughed loudly and were very envious of Lin Li and Wu Ruobing's mutually damaging interaction.

"Okay, Ruobing, I've given you the gift. Do you have anything to say to Lin Li?" Xu Zhe asked.

Wu Ruobing thought for a while and said: "I dragged him to participate in "The Voice" in the first place, but now he has become popular, and I have become a foil..."

There was another burst of laughter.

"However, I think he deserves what he has achieved today. He is a born protagonist!"

After Wu Ruobing finished speaking, she bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you everyone for not rejecting me because I am close to Lin Li, otherwise I would really have to keep a distance from him."

Lin Li said, "Ruobing, you know my temper. I won't alienate you just because of what someone says, so you should be grateful that I don't dislike you!"

Everyone laughed, this was really Lin Li's character.

Wu Ruobing was speechless by Lin Li's words and smiled bitterly: "Thank you!"

"Okay, thank you Ruobing for coming. Let Ruobing take a rest first. We gave Lin Li a surprise. Next, do you want Lin Li to surprise us?"

"Yes!!" the whole audience shouted loudly.

"We know that Lin Li has a new song today. Do you want to listen to it?"

"want!"

After Xu Zhe finished speaking, he said to Lin Li: "Lin Li, the theme of our birthday party today is called The Wind. What does it mean?"

"Actually, it's just the name of a song. I think it's pretty good. It doesn't have any special meaning."

Xu Zhe said with a smile: "Everyone knows about your literary quality. Using these three words to write songs also has a meaning. I think the wind is blowing. It is meant for the entertainment industry. It feels like a storm is coming. .”

There was a lot of noise downstairs. Xu Zhe listened to it and suddenly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I got the point wrong. The point is that everyone has never stopped playing the song "The Wind Rises". Is it a new song?"

Lin Li nodded and said, "Yes."

The whole audience cheered, Lin Li had a new song!

"Now that you've said it, it's impossible not to sing. Come on, let's enjoy Lin Li's new song "The Wind Rises"!"
