Entertainment system: The sad queen sang and made the audience cry

After the competition, Gu Zhimiao never saw the other contestants again.

Mainly because everyone is busy.

It's been less than half a month since I last saw Rong Enxuan. Now, apart from that face, I really can't recognize him.

Her previously inch-long hair turned into short hair that reached the ears. It was curled into small wool curls and dyed a gray with a little green in it.

The outfit is even more sexy.

The purple velvet suit jacket is decorated with sequins, and underneath it is a black mesh lining that is faintly visible and extremely sexy.

She wore a skull-shaped goddess necklace around her neck, a pair of silver retro earrings with an exaggerated shape on her left ear, and ripped wide-leg pants and thick-soled black high heels.

The makeup is also special, with green and purple two-tone eyeliner, green eyeshadow, a teardrop mole at the end of the eye, and a very white base color, which further highlights the lip color.

No matter her clothes or makeup, she looks extremely charming and beautiful.

When he stretched out his hand, Gu Zhimiao saw his manicure, which was even more exaggerated, as if the three bedrooms and one living room in the house were all inlaid on his nails.

Rong Enxuan really let himself go!

"Your outfit is quite special!" Gu Zhimiao couldn't help but say it. It wasn't contempt but more like a compliment.

Anyway, she herself doesn't have the courage to dress like this.

"I think so too." Rong Enxuan nodded repeatedly.

"How about it? Are you fascinated by me?" Rong Enxuan cast a wink at her confidently and reached out to tidy up her hair.

To be honest, it's a bit oily...

"But why did you suddenly change your style? Is it because of the last game?" Gu Zhimiao asked curiously.

"I think it's more important for people to return to their true selves." Rong Enxuan blinked, "Besides, this will attract more people's attention."

"Yeah, you don't seem to be afraid of other people's strange looks." Gu Zhimiao knew him a little bit.

"Why should I be afraid? I just want to be myself, no matter what others think. I have lived under the shadow of others for so many years, and now I want to let myself go."

Rong Enxuan raised his chin with a proud look on his face, and his eyes revealed a kind of unruly and determined look.

It seems to be telling the world: I am me, the one and only me.

Gu Zhimiao suddenly felt that Rong En in this style was very suitable for a song.

That was a song by Mr. Zhang in his previous life, called "Me".

Gu Zhimiao left Nana Ayamiko alone in the recording studio to compose music, and followed Rong Enxuan to the recording studio next door.

Anyway, they have all been rented by the concert organizers a long time ago, so you just need to make a reservation in advance before using them.

Gu Zhimiao asked directly: "Rong Enxuan, I have a song here that I think is very suitable for you. Do you want it?"

"Suitable for me? I'm actually very interested. But we're competitors in the arena, so why did you suddenly write a song for me?"

Although Rong Enxuan didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Zhimiao was selling, he was still very interested in the song Gu Zhimiao was singing.

Gu Zhimiao started her forced explanation again: "I just got an inspiration when I saw your outfit."

"Yeah, I think so too. I think what I'm wearing today suits me pretty well!"

Gu Zhimiao praised Rong Enxuan, and he was not modest either, and the two of them interacted with each other, not at all like they were before.

Long Shimin stood behind him without saying a word. Like Qiu Yu, she considered herself invisible.

Anyway, it was impossible for her to help Rong En choose songs, write songs and compose music, but she couldn't stop Gu Zhimiao either.

She always felt that Gu Zhimiao was like he was completing some mission, and was working hard to write songs non-stop.

Gu Zhimiao's daily output now equals that of other creators for several days or even several months.

But I didn't want to participate in the competition. But when I thought about the fact that she had less than a year to live.

Ugh……

Long Shimin is now particularly fond of Gu Zhimiao. She lets her do whatever she wants. She will not stop her and will even help her.

Rong Enxuan said with great interest: "What song is that? Play it and listen to it."

Gu Zhimiao rubbed his hands and said, "I haven't written it yet, please wait a moment."

Long Shimin handed the tablet over, and Gu Zhimiao put on headphones and started operating it.

Rong Enxuan didn't bother her, but turned on all the lights and machines in the recording studio.

He was going to practice a collaborative piece with Gu Zhimiao later, but what he didn't know was that Gu Zhimiao hadn't even started writing the collaborative piece yet.

But this is not important. We have all participated in the "All-Round Creator" international competition, so we are all relatively clear about when Gu Zhimiao wrote the songs.

If you want to talk about speed, it can be done within five minutes.

If you say it's slow, it won't exceed twenty minutes at most.

After the competition, everyone's relationship seemed less hostile than at the beginning of the competition.

Because during the competition everyone saw each other's abilities and indirectly understood each other's character.

You can hear it by listening to the song.

A person's work can really tell a lot about his character.

So after the game, everyone became friends but not enemies, with the attitude of "I know you very well".

But it is not certain how good the real relationship is.

The only two people who truly achieved pure friendship in this game were probably Katyusha and Gu Zhimiao.

However, Rong Enxuan and Nana Ayamiko really admire Gu Zhimiao.

The strength is there! Too strong! There is no other way but to turn jealousy into admiration.

Jealousy means that you may still be able to surpass her and you can win by creating some conditions.

But, worship means that this person is standing high up, you can’t surpass him, you can only look up to him.

Gu Zhimiao handed the tablet to Rong Enxuan, "This song is called "I", take a look at the lyrics first."

Rong Enxuan took the tablet and read it carefully.

【I am what I am】

【I will always love myself like this】

【Happiness is that there is more than one way to be happy】

[The greatest honor is that everyone is the glory of the Creator]

……

Every word in the lyrics touched his heart deeply, as if telling what he had been thinking all along.

It's like this song was tailor-made for him.

"This song is great!"

Rong Enxuan raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "I can't wait to sing it out!"

"The lyrics are absolutely amazing. Gu Zhimiao, you understand me so well!" Rong Enxuan's words were quick and frequent, showing how excited he was.

Gu Zhimiao lowered his head to compose music, while Long Shimin sat beside him to help.

She was slapped in the face again. As long as Gu Zhimiao looked at her eagerly, she couldn't bear it.

There is an impulse of "giving her your life" as in the novels about domineering CEOs.

Rong Enxuan immersed himself in the lyrics and read them over and over again.

The lyrics perfectly showcase the themes of self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-persistence, all of which are an inner expression of "me".

Not only does it make the audience feel a sense of reality and purity, but even the singers will be immersed in it.

[I am who I am, a firework of different colors]

[The sky and the sea are vast, we must be the strongest bubble]

[I like myself, let the rose bloom with a kind of fruit]

[In the lonely desert, nakedness still blooms]

Rong Enxuan was about to cry as she watched.

He is not someone who cries easily. Even after losing the game, he did not cry.

Tears were too useless to him.

In their country, stars, singers, and dancers are all tools and there is no human rights to speak of.

You have to package yourself and live your life according to the wishes of the company, sponsors, and fans. Your own personal wishes and ideas are bullshit.

He used to be dressed very formally, and he felt that the feeling of being restrained both physically and mentally was really frustrating.

Originally, he let himself go in the last game, and the company was sure to punish him. However, after finding out that he was more popular this way, the company increased his clothing allowance.

Rong Enxuan felt that this world was really like a joke.

However, he was moved by Gu Zhimiao's song.

No wonder he is number one!

Gu Zhimiao took off his headphones and said, "Are you familiar with the lyrics? Go in and give it a try."

Rong Enxuan nodded and went in with the lyrics.

When Rong Enxuan was ready, she turned on the accompaniment and Rong Enxuan's voice sounded. He fully understood the song, so his singing was full of emotion and power.

In the previous life, the reason why the song "I" was so popular was not only because of the author and singer of the song, but more importantly, perhaps because the emotions expressed in the song were not superficial, but had depth and breadth, and were able to resonate with people.

During the recording process of "Me", Rong Enxuan immersed himself in the song wholeheartedly.

He threw himself into the singing, releasing his emotions without reservation. He was so moved by the singing that tears rolled down his eyes and he suddenly felt a sense of beauty.

Long Shimin and Gu Zhimiao, who were standing by, listened quietly and were moved by his singing.

As the last note fell, Rong Enxuan let out a long breath, a satisfied smile on his face.

He looked outside and made an "OK" gesture to Gu Zhimiao.

Gu Zhimiao gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, Rong En chose it!"

Rong Enxuan walked out and looked at Gu Zhimiao gratefully: "Thank you, Gu Zhimiao. This song made me feel that I had found a sense of identity and a sense of self-awareness."

Gu Zhimiao smiled and said, "Well, in fact, everyone can find their own value in this song. It also conveys the idea of ​​correctly understanding, no, correctly identifying oneself."

Rong Enxuan nodded: "This song will definitely be liked by many people, and...more people will understand me and themselves."

Someone once said: People should understand themselves, and understanding oneself is also the most difficult subject in the world.

Domesticated by family, society and other rules, many people are unable to truly understand themselves or reconcile with their true selves.

Rong Enxuan continued, "I plan to sing this song at the concert! Gu Zhimiao, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay. Just pay the copyright fee. I'll ask my assistant to send you the contract later." Gu Zhimiao waved his hand and said with a smile.

"What!" Rong Enxuan had never thought about this.

"I thought you gave me this song?!"

Gu Zhimiao folded her arms across her chest and leaned back in her chair. Qiuyu behind her took a step forward, looking particularly "forceful"!

Compared with Qiuyu, Rong Enxuan is like a little chick, weak, pitiful and helpless!

He asked weakly, "Your fee won't be very high, right?"

"The price is fair, no cheating, and the larger the quantity, the better!"

When Rong Enxuan heard the words "large quantity, better discount", his eyes lit up.

"Bigger quantity, better discount?! Really?! Can you write a few more songs?"

Gu Zhimiao rubbed his temple and said, "Rong Enxuan, you are a creator after all. Don't rely on my works. You should sing more of your own songs."

Rong Enxuan thought for a few seconds and changed his train of thought.

"Can I learn from you?"

Gu Zhimiao sat up straight, even more puzzled: "Learn from me? I can't teach you anything."

Before Rong Enxuan started to speak, Gu Zhimiao continued, "I am an inspirational and life-oriented person. I can write when I have inspiration. When I encounter something in life and have inspiration, I can write it down. I really can't teach you anything."

"And will your company agree to let you come to China to study with me? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to tell others about it?"

Gu Zhimiao really tried hard to dissuade Rong En from choosing the option.

Rong Enxuan leaned against the door, playing with his manicure, and said leisurely: "No one in my company can control me now. My contract will expire soon. I can go wherever I want at that time, even settle down in China."

Gu Zhimiao felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Gu Zhimiao's schedule is very busy and he doesn't have time to take on an apprentice." Long Shimin said.

Gu Zhimiao turned around and gave Long Shimin a very grateful look.

Rong Enxuan seemed not to notice Gu Zhimiao's refusal, or perhaps he was pretending not to see it.

He continued, "It's okay. I can wait. It won't be too late to teach me when you have time."

There was a determination in his eyes.

Why didn’t I see that he was such a persistent person during previous competitions?

Gu Zhimiao felt a little helpless.

How can she, who relies on the system to release songs, teach others?

Besides, she only had less than a year left and didn't have the time or energy to teach others.

"Rong Enxuan, your music style is different from mine. You should believe in yourself and explore and develop your potential. In fact, the songs you created in your own language are also very good."

Rong Enxuan frowned slightly, picking at his nails while thinking about Gu Zhimiao's words.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but I still have my own insistence. I want to sign with your company."

"what?!"

Gu Zhimiao and Long Shimin were both surprised!

Why do you think one thing after another? !

This is really impossible to refuse. If Zhou Ting and Mr. Jiang knew that I was coming to attend a concert, they would have brought two international creators into the company...

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?

Gu Zhimiao bared his teeth and forced a smile: "Of course, I'll give you the contact information of our company."

Long Shimin took out Yang Wen’s business card from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zhimiao, who then handed it to Rong Enxuan.

Although Rong Enxuan did not take Gu Zhimiao as his master, he decided to take advantage of his proximity and enter Gu Zhimiao's company first.

The future of music is still long, and Rong Enxuan will not give up easily in pursuing his musical dream.

What's more, he has now changed his track.

Gu Zhimiao said: "Okay, next, let's sing some collaborative songs together?"

"it is good!"

Rong Enxuan was eager to try, very excited.

This is my first time working with Gu Zhimiao, and it’s a duet between a man and a woman. I wonder what kind of sparks we can create!

And this seems to be Gu Zhimiao's first male-female duet, right? !
