The straight man in the entertainment circle

The interior of the bar is lined with trees. I have seen it in many TV movies. I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs running around.

Because it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the bar seemed livelier than other stores, and there were quite a few people inside.

Lin Li found a seat with dimmed lights and sat down. The waiter brought the wine list and asked Lin Li to order a drink.

Lin Li didn't drink much. He only drank some beer with his classmates after graduating from high school. It was only during the Chinese New Year this year that he started drinking two glasses of liquor with his father. But since they were all in the bar, naturally they couldn't drink nothing.

Lin Li took a look at the wine list. There was a series of English wine names on it. Although Lin Li had excellent memory and intelligence and had memorized all the English he had learned before, he could only understand a small part of the wine names.

Since he had never drank any wine, Lin Li casually ordered several types of wine recommended by their bar.

Lin Li came here not to drink, but to experience the atmosphere in the bar.

Not long after, the waiter brought several glasses of wine and a fruit plate.

Lin Li picked up a glass of wine that looked good and took a sip. It tasted okay, but Lin Li always felt that there was no food to go with the wine, which was a bit regretful.

The environment of this bar is not bad, it is not as dirty as I imagined. Most people are very quiet. There is a small stage half a person high in the bar, and a band is singing on it.

But after all, he was not a professional singer, and his singing was very average. After sitting for a while, Lin Li felt a little bored. He was going to sit for a while and then go out. At this time, the band on the stage finished singing, packed up their instruments and got off the stage.

The owner or manager of the bar walked onto the stage.

"Good evening everyone, welcome to our Encounter Bar. I hope you all have a good time and drink here! Now let's talk about something else. I want to ask you a question. You should have watched "The Masked Singer" ?”

Many people below shouted: "I've seen it!"

"Hey, okay, as long as everyone has watched it, everyone must be deeply impressed by Bai Wuchang in the show. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that guy to be Lin Li. It's hard for us to hear Bai Wuchang sing anymore, but it doesn't matter. Who told us here is At the Encounter Bar, we have Bai Wuchang here tonight, and she will sing some of the songs sung by Bai Wuchang from "The Masked Singer" here, so let's have an encounter with Bai Wuchang!"

After the man finished speaking, there were cheers and whistles in the bar, and it finally looked like a bar.

Lin Li on the side suppressed his thoughts of leaving and sat down.

Lin Li thought to himself that his black and white influence was indeed great enough, and even here he began to use his own banner to please customers.

Bai Wuchang, who was about 1.67 meters tall, slowly walked up to the bar stage. The audience saw that her Bai Wuchang dress was very realistic. She indeed had the charm of Bai Wuchang in "The Masked Singer". Thunderous applause.

Lin Li was a little surprised when he saw this person, because he felt that this figure was very familiar. He took a closer look at Bai Wuchang's facial features in the stands. Although she tried her best to look like Bai Wuchang, her makeup skills were not as good as Lin Li's. Can see some of the original colors.

Lin Li glanced twice, and a familiar yet slightly distant figure appeared in his mind.

Bai Wuchang on the stage did not speak, he just bowed to the crowd and then started singing.

La la la la...

La la la la...

She sang "Drawing Heart".

As soon as Bai Wuchang spoke on the stage, Lin Li confirmed that she was really Li Mengfei!

That Li Mengfei who was in the same class as me and almost took away her first place!

That Li Mengfei who mysteriously disappeared for more than half a year!

Obviously, only Lin Li recognized Bai Wuchang on the stage as Li Mengfei, and no one else had any reaction.

This is not surprising, Lin Li's perception is much stronger than ordinary people, and he is also familiar with Li Mengfei.

Li Mengfei disappeared for more than half a year, and everyone's impression of her began to be blurred. Plus she was wearing this makeup, so it was normal for no one to recognize her.

Lin Li could tell that Li Mengfei's singing skills were better than during the competition. The most obvious thing is that her voice now has more emotion and story than before, which is something that many singers find difficult to achieve.

Lin Li thought that maybe these half a year of training might not be a bad thing for her.

Li Mengfei sang a section of "Drawing Heart" and it was very contagious, no worse than her own. If she had advanced singing skills before, then at least Li Mengfei's singing skills are at the top level now.

The song "Painting the Heart" not only tests your singing skills, but also your emotion in singing. The heart-wrenching part of the song requires you to sing with tears in your eyes. Most people can't sing it at all. Either they have already sung it, or they don't have any emotion at all. not enough.

But to Lin Li's surprise, Li Mengfei sang just right.

For a moment, Lin Li felt that the sadness in Li Mengfei's song was more real than what she sang. She seemed to have mixed her own sadness into the song.

After Li Mengfei finished singing, the bar burst into warm applause and screams.

Li Mengfei then sang "Finger Moon on the Left Hand" and "High Song", but they were lowered by one key. It was still difficult for Li Mengfei to sing the high notes. After lowering the key, she completed it very well, and the bar scene was also very popular. Many people were singing along, but it was too unpleasant. Some people left their seats and went to the bottom of the stage and started waving and shouting at Li Mengfei.

Finally, it looked a bit like Lin Shi's stereotype of the bar.

These three songs were very tiring. Li Mengfei sang three songs in a row. Her voice was a little tired, so she bowed to the audience and prepared to leave the stage.

Lin Li couldn't help but walk off the stage.

At this time, the people in the bar were still unfinished. Seeing that Li Mengfei was about to leave, they all shouted "Sing one more song"!

Li Mengfei bowed and walked down the stage. Apparently she had agreed with the bar to sing three songs.

As soon as Li Mengfei got off the stage, several drunk people rushed over, and one of them even hugged Li Mengfei.

Li Mengfei was so frightened that she screamed loudly, but everyone else was laughing.

When Lin Li saw this, he walked up quickly, grabbed the drunk man's wrist, and flicked it lightly. The drunk man knelt on the ground in pain, and Lin Li kicked him out.

Lin Li's set of movements was so smooth that he was a little surprised, but he immediately realized that his [Strength] attribute was almost full now, which was much stronger than ordinary people, and he also had [Tai Chi] At the elementary level, this set of movements is completely subconsciously based on the practical skills of [Tai Chi].

Lin Li secretly praised in his heart that the Tai Chi provided by this system was indeed not the health-preserving Tai Chi in the park. It was so powerful at the elementary level.

The drunk man fell to the ground and yelled. He and four or five companions rushed over with a loud scream. Lin Li didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly spent more than one million reputations to upgrade his [Tai Chi]. To the special level.

After reaching the special level, Lin Li suddenly felt different. In Lin Li's opinion, these people were full of flaws, and one blow could make them lose their resistance instantly.

However, Lin Li didn't want to make things worse, he just wanted to teach them a lesson, so he took action very lightly.

Those few people were a little drunk and their center of gravity was unstable. They rushed up and didn't touch Lin Li, but were put down to the ground by Lin Li's seemingly simple hands.

Lin Li was wearing makeup, so no one recognized him, but everyone knew he was a young guy at first sight. He was able to fight one against several, with cool movements and smooth movements, which made the onlookers feel as if they were watching a movie clip. Everyone in the bar screamed.

This was louder than the cheers when Li Mengfei sang just now.

The bar owner was afraid that things would get serious and affect his business. At this time, he rushed over, apologized to the group of people who were beaten, and begged Lin Li for mercy on their behalf. The group of people couldn't beat Lin Li, so they naturally scolded the boss.

The boss finally calmed down their anger by giving them a free order.

This kind of scene of being rescued had happened to Li Mengfei once before, but that time she was unconscious and didn't really feel it.

But this time, she saw it with her own eyes.

This situation made Li Mengfei forget the fright just now for a moment, and couldn't help but think of that person again.

Li Mengfei thought and suddenly smiled bitterly. In the flash of lightning just now, she also saw that this person's face was not the person she thought.

I don't know why, but after more than half a year, I remember his cool face more and more clearly.

At this moment, Li Mengfei was standing behind Lin Li. She stared at Lin Li's back, feeling a little dazed.

It's indeed not that face, but this person... looks like him!

Li Mengfei stared at Lin Li's back with some confusion. Lin Li turned to look at her. The two looked at each other, both of them momentarily distracted.

Li Mengfei's heart skipped a beat when she saw the look in the man's eyes. It really looked like him!

But then Li Mengfei was a little disappointed, after all, it wasn't him.

Neither of them were their true colors. Lin Li recognized Li Mengfei, but Li Mengfei did not recognize Lin Li.

Before the two of them could speak, Lin Li saw someone rushing over, and he knew this person.

That was Li Mengfei's manager during the competition, Liu Yue.

After Li Mengfei signed with Tianyun, Liu Yue should have also signed with Tianyun and became her official manager, and has been taking care of Li Mengfei.

"Are you OK?"

Liu Yue seemed to care about Li Mengfei.

Li Mengfei shook her head at Liu Yue, then looked at Lin Li and said, "Thank you."

Lin Li smiled: "It's easy."

Li Mengfei trembled all over and raised her eyes to look at Lin Li, as if she wanted to see through him. After looking at him for a while, Li Mengfei couldn't help but ask: "Do we... know each other?"

Liu Yue was startled and looked at Lin Li for a while, but obviously did not recognize Lin Li. Before Lin Li could speak, she quickly pulled Li Mengfei aside.

"You are crazy, don't say your identity here." Liu Yue warned cautiously.

Li Mengfei glanced at Lin Li in the distance and said impatiently: "I know."

There was a new singer on the stage, and everyone's attention was attracted. The episode just now seemed to be forgotten by them.

Liu Yue looked around and pulled Li Mengfei to a far corner. Thinking that no one would hear their conversation, Liu Yue took out a wad of money and gave it to Li Mengfei and said, "It's only one thousand and five for you tonight." , I’m five hundred.”

But Liu Yue didn't know that Lin Li's hearing was already beyond ordinary people at this moment. He could still hear the conversation between the two clearly if he sat far away and listened carefully.

Li Mengfei took the money and put it away without counting: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Liu. This bar is very good. It is unlikely that the company will find out. Let's keep singing here from now on."

After hearing this, Liu Yue looked at the place where the drunkards were making trouble, and said with some sadness: "Mengfei, you said, you have such a good condition, why did you let the fans take your money for an unrelated brat? You took a live video with your mobile phone, and finally let your fans post it online. The company didn't know about it at the time, but it found out not long after your competition. You are not responsible for the tour, the variety show is not for you, and the New Year's Day and Spring Festival Gala are still without you. My share has really been hidden for more than half a year. I can only do private work in such a shabby place without telling the company, and now it’s reduced to a lot of imitations!”

Liu Yue became angrier as he talked, but Li Mengfei said calmly: "Sister Liu, I think this is pretty good."

Lin Li listened from a distance, and his heart surged. After he withdrew from "The Voice", Tianyun maliciously edited the program later in the program, cutting his exit into being eliminated, in order to calm the impact of Lin Li's exit.

Later, Lin Li and Jiang Da tore up Tianyun together, and soon there was a live video, which proved that Lin Li had indeed withdrawn from the competition by himself during the recording.

Lin Li was curious at the time. The video was not posted online by him or Jiang Da. During the recording of the show, it was impossible for the audience to bring their mobile phones in, so the video could only have been taken by the program team or the contestants on site.

Later, Lin Li asked Tao Yaoyao to investigate and found out that the person who posted the video was the leader of Li Mengfei's fan group. Lin Li had always suspected that Li Mengfei was the instigator, but there was no evidence. This matter has been bothering him until today. Lin Licai got the answer from Liu Yue.

It turned out that it was really Li Mengfei who did it. As for why Li Mengfei wanted to help him, Lin Li thought it was probably because she still had some sense of right and wrong in her heart and was unwilling to help others.

After hearing Li Mengfei say that she is doing well now, Liu Yue was a little speechless: "What's good? Look at Lin Li. Forget it, let's not talk about Lin Li. Look at Wen Xin, are you worse than her? How beautiful she is now, you Now you should be performing on major TV stations, not in places like this, where your appearance fee starts at least four to five hundred thousand, instead of singing three songs for only one thousand and fifty, and you give me five hundred!"

Li Mengfei said: "Sister Wen Xin is better than me, maybe I am destined not to be popular."

Liu Yue said displeasedly: "Since when did you believe in fate? It all depends on people. Do you know that for so long, I have been shaving my head and picking my own hair, running around for you, and you have not taken the initiative to change the current situation?" situation."

Li Mengfei sighed and said, "If they want to hide it in the snow, I can hide it in the snow. Do I still have to beg them?"

"Please don't embarrass them!" Liu Yue said, "It's been so long since the incident, and most of the hatred of the leaders has faded. At this time, if you make a miserable show of loyalty, they might still be willing to give you a Opportunity."

Li Mengfei sneered and said: "Sister Liu, haven't I compromised before? I went to the wine shop with you. Those old men tried to take advantage of me before I even opened my mouth. I went to beg them. Why not?" Go to hell."

Liu Yue was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "What can I do? Why don't you have a backer? If you had a backer, or behaved like Wen Xin, people wouldn't dare to do anything to you. In fact... There are a lot of things like this in the industry..."

There was a hint of persuasion in Liu Yue's tone.

"Sister Liu, stop talking. I have my bottom line." Li Mengfei interrupted Liu Yue.

Liu Yue opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. After a moment of silence, she sighed: "I don't know when you became so stubborn."

Li Mengfei turned her head, looked at her reflection in the bar glass, and smiled bitterly: "Maybe... I learned it from someone."
