Chapter 37 I Was Really Stupid Before

The interview ended successfully, and the person in charge of the outlet heard that Yang Sile could come on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so he conducted training on the spot and asked him to come to help early the next morning.

Mou Xiangfei's little calculation was in vain, he guessed that he would have to be manipulated by Chen Xu for a while, and his face was not very good.

Seeing this, Yang Sile repeated what Chen Xu had said.He originally thought that Mu Xiangfei would feel relieved when he heard about it, but after hearing it, Mu Xiangfei's complexion became even worse for no reason.

Yang Sile couldn't understand him, and didn't want to bother to understand him. After the training, he happily set foot on the way home, and announced the good news to the band members on the light rail.

Chen Nan didn't expect to be photographed by scouts while still alive, and maybe appear on TV in the future, so excited that she posted dozens of exclamation points in the group.

Xie Chen didn't reply, maybe he was busy.Lin Li replied "Damn it", it's rare that she couldn't calm down, and yelled like a pig with Chen Nan in the group.

Yang Sile felt that this matter was quite reliable, so he posted the link to the agency's official website in the group, hoping that everyone would discuss it with their parents first, so that they could chat with people at night.

Chen Nan clicked on the link and took a look: "Shock my mother and shock my whole family, then whoever belongs to this company!"

Xie Chen finally went online and asked, "Then who is who?"

Chen Nan mentioned a name that Yang Sile had a little impression of: "Isn't your village connected to the Internet yet? He has become very popular recently, and he just wrote the theme song for a popular costume drama last month. My mother, until now It is No. [-] on the Chinese list of major music players!"

Yang Sile looked up at the billboard on the light rail: "...you might not believe me, but he's standing in front of me and smiling at me right now."

Chen Nan: "!!!"

Lin Li ruthlessly exposed it: "You are on the street? I'm afraid it's not an advertising board?"

Chen Nan: "..."

"It's okay, I'll be a colleague soon, it's not a problem for the advertisement to be reflected in reality!"

"The horoscope hasn't been written yet." Lin Li didn't pour cold water this time, and Xie Chen came to pour it instead.

"By the way, what did your parents say?" Lin Li asked suddenly.

Yang Sile replied: "I haven't had time to tell my mother, she should let me make up my own mind."

Chen Nan: "My mother only told me to be careful and be careful not to be cheated out of money."

Lin Li woke up: "What should I do, my parents probably won't agree."

"Why don't you agree?! You can earn a lot of money by debuting, and you can save face by speaking out. Why don't you agree..." Chen Nan couldn't understand.

Lin Li hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "It's very simple. They think that singers and actors are all 'actors', and they are low-level. I have worked so hard to practice ballet and study for so many years, so I shouldn't be associated with this kind of work."

Chen Nan opened his eyes: "How long has New China been established? I sincerely ask."

Yang Sile knew in his heart that not everyone's parents were as open-minded as himself and Niannian's parents, he cared more about what Lin Li thought.

Lin Li answered him: "Do what you like and solve the employment problem by the way. Why not do it? There are also beautiful clothes to wear, and professional makeup artists to do makeup and hair. It completely satisfies my vanity. Of course I am one hundred happy."

"I don't want to sign this contract."

"You will be eighteen at the end of the year, and your legal guardian can't control you anymore. What are you afraid of?"

"Do you have to sign?"

"You call me a young girl in bloom, Big Sister? Chen Nan, you're gone."

Yang Sile: "Wait a minute... Xie Chen, you don't want to?"

"Ah."

"God! Brother Shen, why are you here!"

"No reason."

In the past when he spoke in the group, no matter what Lin Li was talking about at the time, he would definitely pick up his words and take care of his emotions, but this time he turned a blind eye, and Xie Chen on the other end of the phone sulked alone.

But his reluctance to sign the contract was not the result of sulking, but out of other considerations——

Once the band is commercialized, with exposure and commercial value, he does not believe that the band's creation will not be interfered and manipulated by capital, which will do him no good.

He chose to join Yang Sile in the first place, not because the band would become popular in the streets one day.If he wanted to be famous, he could spend all his time on his studies, get admitted to top universities, make friends with top musicians, create top music defined by the academic school, and win various awards at home and abroad.

In the final analysis, his only expectation for forming a band is to freely create and enjoy freely with a group of like-minded people.

Just like what he wrote on the crude registration form on the day of the club carnival: "Music plus the team includes the whole meaning of the band."

Can the team, whose hands and feet are tied by capital, really produce the good music he imagined?

Xie Chen expressed doubts about this.

Yang Sile's idea was originally very simple: one in a million opportunities to come to him, no matter what, let's give it a try first, what if the experience is good?

But after listening to Lin Li and Xie Chen's respective concerns, he realized that he was really lacking, thinking too little, too superficially.

The four chattered in the group for a long time, but no one could convince the other, no one could solve the problem, and no one could make a decision.

At this time, they didn't expect that the contradictions in the team that seemed to be the most difficult to reconcile, in fact, there was no need to worry about it, because:

"Change the lead singer?! Why?!" Yang Sile and Chen Nan asked in unison.

Xie Chen frowned, and asked the man sitting next to Chen Xu angrily, "What's wrong with our lead singer? Please give us a reason to convince us."

The person involved, Lin Li, was the calmest.

Surprised for a few seconds, and there was not much embarrassment left for nothing. She crossed her hands, crossed her legs, and looked at the agent sent by the agency with a look of "Hurry up, come on!" Representative of the Newcomer Department.

The representative of the newcomer department forgives her for being young and doesn't care about etiquette with her, and explained earnestly: "Several children, don't be so excited, the market chooses like this, and we can't help it. Think back, the few who have the largest number of fans now There is a Chinese band, which one is the female lead singer? All of them are male."

Chen Nan was puzzled: "I was thinking... Isn't this just our specialty?"

The representative of the newcomer department curled his lips and shook his head: "According to our experience, female lead singers can only bring a small wave of enthusiasm to the band. The first time she stands under the lights, the audience may feel fresh, and the second and third times How many times?"

"You guys know better than me. The most important thing in a band scene is to drive the atmosphere. It's the kind of coolness. What can the female lead singer do when she's excited? Tell me, should she take off her clothes on stage or shake her hair? A fan willing to spend money?"

"We want to take the popular route, not the underground band. We must consider the needs and acceptance of audiences of all ages. You can't just sing lyrical songs to avoid this problem, can you?"

"So my suggestion is, this little girl is a little bit wronged, and as an assistant guitarist, how about you find another male lead singer with good looks, good voice, and a good match with you, to stand at the visual center of the band? "

No one picked up on him.

He didn't care, took a sip of tea, and smiled at Lin Li: "Little girl, what I said was from the bottom of my heart, and I definitely didn't mean to look down on girls. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, I will I apologize to you here, don't take it to heart."

Lin Li shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "I'm not uncomfortable."

The representative of the Newcomer Department put down the glass with satisfaction: "Then..."

"But I don't accept your apology either."

The words "Get out of my way" hung on his lips, and Lin Li endured and endured before blurting out.

With a puff, Chen Xu, who was full of swear words, was the first to fail, and hurriedly got up to leave: "Well, I thought of something funny, I went upstairs to laugh for a while, I don't want to disturb you, you can talk slowly."

The representative of the newcomer department heard the irony in his words, turned to meet Lin Li's provocative eyes, and couldn't help being annoyed.

"You have good appearance, young age, and original ability. We really want to sign you and train you according to the T1 standard idol model." He smiled and stood up, with one hand in his trouser pocket, condescending Dao, "However, if you don't have the will, no matter how much money we spend and how much we spend on promoting it, it will be zero. Therefore, concluding a legally protected contract is an essential process."

He obviously didn't expect anything from these children, he kept pointing with his index finger, and said in a strong tone: "After signing the contract, you have to obey the arrangement in the future. If you don't sign, neither of us will have any problems." What a loss, the right to make a friend."

"It's not a difficult choice. Make up your own mind. If you have any questions, you can scan the QR code on the business card and add me on WeChat. But I'm usually very busy, so I may not be able to reply in time. Please bear with me."

After saying the last sentence, he picked up his bag and turned to leave.

The four of them folded their arms in silence tonight, and when the man finished climbing the stairs and closed the door, Chen Nan turned around suddenly, and asked the other three with bright eyes: "Am I also included in the advantage of good appearance?"

Yang Sile's heart was so heavy that he couldn't laugh, so he nodded sullenly: "Including."

Xie Chen was furious, and now he hated himself for not being able to scold others: "Let me just say, there is no place for bands to survive in the entertainment industry!"

Lin Li looked at the low table and retorted: "Wanqing's New Pants Travel Group Escape Plan is not a band? Didn't they find a balance? The soup we drink has mouse droppings in it, but it doesn't mean that all the chefs' soups have mouse droppings in them." .”

Xie Chen couldn't believe his ears: "Lin Li...I'm helping you speak and fighting for your rights."

He usually called Lin Li "Senior Sister", or he didn't use the address, and always followed her with his eyes to show that he was talking to her.This was the first time he called Lin Li by her name directly in front of her.

Lin Li seemed unmoved, still staring at the table without looking sideways, and replied in a businesslike tone: "Thank you. I just don't agree with what you just said."

Xie Chen was pierced by her indifference, clenched his fists secretly, and asked, "Is that why you want to enter the entertainment circle, are you so reluctant to part with beautiful clothes, are you so...vain?"

Lin Li was also crossed by his malicious speculation, and finally she was willing to face him squarely, and nodded in a broken way: "Yes, didn't I make it clear enough in the group this morning? I'm just a girl with a lot of vanity I have been holding back my mouth for so many years, I can’t wait to eat a catty and spit three catties, just to look good in clothes, just to seduce boys to like me, just to marry into a wealthy family. I can’t live without beautiful clothes, and I will be crazy without men , are you satisfied? Is it disgusting?"

Yang Sile saw that her words became more and more outrageous, and Xie Chen's expression became more and more ferocious, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lin Li! That's enough, stop talking! We all know you are not this kind of person."

Lin Li shook her head sadly: "No... Xie Chen doesn't know, Xie Chen thinks I am this kind of person."

Xie Chen's fists by his legs were all blue and white, he gritted his teeth and said, "You said it yourself."

Lin Li felt the pain, but was able to laugh instead: "Look, he still can't tell what is the necessary condition and what is the icing on the cake in what I said this morning."

Xie Chen was furious, and the violent factors hidden under reason and self-cultivation for a long time escaped from his body, causing him to stand up, turn around and kick over the chair without warning, and roared viciously: "I can't tell the difference! I can't even tell the difference! Why are you sometimes enthusiastic about me, and sometimes you don’t even know why you just ignore me? You expect me to be able to analyze your true psychology through a few words? Do you think you are some kind of world famous book, a must-read textbook? I Why do I have to understand you word for word, why can't I not understand you? Who do you think you are?"

Lin Li had never seen Xie Chen like this.

Although he didn't swear a single word of swearing, all these civilized words were like a series of slaps on her face, enough to embarrass her to the extreme.

"You're right, I'm nothing." She suddenly put away her redundant expression, and said in a flat voice, "I'm useless, with a bad temper and a poisonous mouth. Most importantly, I'm still a fucking woman."

"It's hypocritical for me to control my weight for many years to dance ballet. I want to look beautiful. It's an act. I think it's vanity for more people to hear our songs. I want to make some achievements. One day, my parents Admitting that singing is not bad, it's my fault."

Water mist gathered in Lin Li's eyes.The pressure of not being accepted by classmates and not being recognized by parents for a long time made this mist quickly condense into a rain, which fell on the dry dry soil with a clatter.

But she didn't show much sadness, and she quickly wiped away the only tear before it flowed down her chin.

Thinking of Shi Nian, Yang Sile felt even more uncomfortable.

He dug out the toilet paper from his jacket pocket, passed it to Lin Li over Xie Chen, but Lin Li didn't answer it, claiming: "It was just a physical reaction, I can't control it. I won't cry."

Xie Chen passed the rage period, and said concisely: "Lie."

Lin Li sneered: "You understand me again?"

Fearing that she would cry, Xie Chen leaned over and picked up the chair, stopped responding, walked alone to the corner of the basement and leaned against the wall, lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly, so as not to be engulfed in anger again and make more irreversible actions.

The scene was stalemate for a while.

Yang Sile, one head and two big, silently poked Chen Nan behind him with his elbow, signaling him to quickly find a way to mediate.

After receiving instructions from the captain, Chen Nan cleared her throat, and tentatively suggested: "Sister, otherwise... you try to be a guitarist? You can sign a contract, stay in the band, and bypass your parents' pressure." Minefield, do you want to..."

Lin Li refused firmly: "No."

Yang Sile was also not very willing: "Why should we compromise? What's wrong with the female lead singer? Don't listen to that person's nonsense."

Chen Nan scratched the back of her head: "Isn't this the best of both worlds, no, the best of three..."

"I haven't finished talking just now." The red around Lin Li's eyes receded, and his pupils shone with a non-negotiable, unusually firm light.

"You don't have to make things difficult, I can quit tonight." She looked straight at Yang Sile's face, "Chen Nan will get better and better in the future, I'm not bad as a guitar player, you can go to the school's vocal music department to find a suitable male lead singer, Grab a handful of those who meet the conditions."

"No." Yang Sile was more determined, "We've been together for half a year, and I wrote the melody imagining your voice. What's the matter with changing someone somehow? It's a big deal not to sign, who cares about their company? Ah. We are busy doing our own work, planning the concert tour of the sales department of the nursing home, the kindergarten, the Binjiang Plaza Shopping Center, and we can still have a good time, not bad for them."

Lin Li looked at Chen Nan: "Xiao Nannan, do you want to debut? Yes, or not, choose one answer."

"Again!" Yang Sile stared, "Your set of questions doesn't apply to this situation!"

Chen Nan said pitifully, "Can I say that I really miss it?"

Lin Li was open-minded: "Of course I can. I personally don't accept the philosophy and attitude of this company, but it doesn't mean you can't accept and yearn for it. Sign, sign fuck! Do it if you want to do it. Don't wait to lose this rare opportunity. Only regret it. Come on, captain, make a statement quickly."

"No! OK!" Xie Chen in the corner raised his face, and Yang Sile made his statement first.

Chen Nan originally thought that senior sister Xie Shenwei was just looking forward to it, and he would never go to the right when the theory said to go to the left. Who would have thought that he would be so stubborn on this issue.

"Brother Shen, it's just that the personnel has changed, you can't do it..."

"Just? You said just?" Xie Chen stopped him, "Now we can write any song we want, we can produce a song as often as we want, we can arrange music however we want , are you sure we can still do this after signing the contract?"

Chen Nan tried to persuade him with emotion and reason, using various advantages such as being able to record in a professional recording studio and having the opportunity to receive guidance from industry insiders.However, Xie Chen became determined after eating the weight, and never changed his mind.

In the end, he even went out of his usual way and became eloquent: "Is that man interested in our music? No, he is interested in our appearance and wants us to sell our skins to him to make money." "If you insist on If you insist on swallowing your anger and earning this ignorant money, well, I will quit the band from today onwards, you guys go out and make your debut."

Chen Nan kept his breath in a low voice for a long time, but he was still so reckless and aggressive, and his patience was completely exhausted.

He looked away, his eyes fell on the ground in the distance, and he said with a half-smile: "Exit, you two said it so easily, and you look like you are still awesome without tonight--well, I admit, You and senior sister are gone tonight is still awesome - what about me?"

He laughed at himself: "The grades are mediocre, he is unknown in school, the college entrance examination basically has no chance for Yangyin, and there is a high probability that he will not have the opportunity to further study in the future. What kind of intersection did the flute masters have?"

"I practice guitar day and night, and I don't dare to slacken my hands. Do you really think I love guitar? How much I love rock and roll?" He smiled and looked up at Xie Chen, "Brother Shen, I just know What am I? Without Tonight, I’m just an ordinary high school student with nothing to offer.”

"Debut and entering the entertainment industry, to be honest, I never dreamed about it before. When I told my parents in the morning, guess what their reaction was?" Chen Nan paused and smiled, "They almost thought What kind of MLM organization did I join?"

"Well, it took me a long time to convince them, and they started to worry again, from whether I should take a break from school, to whether I should invite my relatives to dinner on the day of my debut, where to eat, what cuisine to eat, and how to arrange for me clear and direct."

"Brother Shen, can you understand my mood?" Chen Nan saw him passively resisting with silence, and clicked his tongue, "If you understand, just nod."

Xie Chen nodded awkwardly, still refusing to change his mind: "Being a debut doesn't mean you're going to be successful, you can study hard and practice the guitar to the peak, and you'll be really promising."

Chen Nan had nothing to say.

"God of learning, I've failed your expectations. I'm just a mortal. I'm sorry, I just want to have a sense of accomplishment, and I just want to make money and be famous to make my parents look good, and let everyone know how amazing I am. .”

"It's because I'm not qualified, it's because I can't understand the consciousness of learning God, it's because I don't deserve to learn God's level of thinking, I quit."

Chen Nan tried the power of these two words, and it was nothing special.

"It turned out that it was so simple to say it, but I felt quite hurt just now."

He turned his head to seek Yang Sile's opinion: "Why don't we disband on the spot, lest we continue to quarrel and become enemies and choke each other's necks."

"It's getting late, let's go back to each house and find our mothers." He pointed to Lin Li, "You dance your ballet," pointed to Xie Chen, "you write your Yangchun Baixue," and finally pointed to himself and Yang Sile, "We will continue to play our broken flute."

"Brother Yang, as long as you give an order, any problem will no longer be a problem, everyone will be happy and happy."

"Hurry up and disband, my saliva is dry."

Yang Sile had a constant headache, a real headache in the physical sense.

A good thing was disturbed by that man's irresponsible words into what it is now, everyone broke up unhappy, and there has been a gap since then, who would have thought that?

He tried his best to persuade them one by one not to be impulsive, to go home and calm down, and to persuade them not to speak indiscriminately or leave no room for mercy.

No one listened.

It seems that I have to say a few harsh words, I have to use words to stimulate others, I have to pretend not to care about the things I have put my heart and soul into, I have to make everything broken, so that I can appear to be a high school student in the rainy season, why bother... …

Yang Sile's brain, which had only slept for four hours, stopped thinking about the answer to this question.Regardless of whether the band debuts or disbands, he has to go to work in the study room.

The plan to save money for commercial performances in the past two months has been completely ruined, and the band naturally doesn't have to bite the bullet and rehearse.Sitting on the bus, he rubbed his head and comforted himself: Lin Li was just able to concentrate on the college entrance examination, Xie Chen was able to prepare for the half-term homework, and Chen Nan was just able to rest, so he didn't have to squeeze time to practice guitar every day.

He can also spend the whole weekend working part-time.

Qian has no prejudice, Qian will not open his mouth to say the word "quit", Qian will never abandon him, and will not let him fall into such a situation where he is in a dilemma, draws his sword and looks around at a loss.

What's the use of loving music, what's the good of loving playing with friends, what's so great about loving ideals, tolerance, and restraint?It is better to love money.

At least the money would allow him to cross mountains and ridges to see Shi Nian.

Due to special circumstances today, Yang Sile arrived at the store two hours early to hand over his shift.

In the evening, there were few guests and there was nothing to do. He sat alone at the front desk in a daze, vaguely remembering that he hadn't eaten "breakfast".But he has no appetite, and it seems unnecessary to get up from the stool to heat the meal he brought.

Simply sit like this all the time.

At 29:[-], the mobile phone next to the computer vibrated suddenly, interrupting his unique self-healing process.The set alarm clock reminded him that it was time to call Shi Nian.

The study room must be kept quiet, so he took out his mobile phone and sneaked away, and walked to the smoking room on the other side of the office building.

Drop, drop, drop.

Sure enough, Niannian would answer the phone on the fourth ring.This unchanging law gave Yang Sile some crucial comfort.

He slowly squatted down beside the trash can full of cigarette butts, and after listening to Shi Nian's steady breathing for a while, he felt better again.

Shi Nian didn't hear him for a long time, thinking it was a bad signal, he said "Hello" twice in doubt.

Yang Sile lowered his head, quietly listening to him auditioning thousands of miles away, and suddenly felt uncomfortable again, even worse than when he left the hotpot restaurant.

Shi Nian pricked up his ears: "I heard the sound of your clothes rubbing against each other, why didn't you speak?"

Yang Sile smiled bitterly: "Because I don't know what to say."

He should have greeted Shi Nian briefly according to the procedure, and then shared with him what happened today.But what happened today was not pleasant, he couldn't say it, for fear of polluting Shi Nian's mood.

Shi Nian was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "If you don't know what to say, just hang up."

Yang Sile didn't stop him, and neither did Shi Nian.

He conceded: "What's the matter? If you don't talk about it, I'm really dead."

Yang Sile replied softly, "It would be great if you were here."

Shi Nian didn't answer.

Yang Sile knew that his words had crossed the boundaries that brothers and sisters should have, and continued: "There is nothing worth remembering today, it's okay to forget. I'll call back tomorrow, good night."

Ever since Shi Nian forgot about "Yang Sile" and was repeatedly taught by Fu Yi that the brother Yangyang he had no impression of was this Yang Sile who he had only met once in the dormitory, he became more and more presumptuous in private. Give him some sympathy.

"You don't care if I remember."

Yang Sile had a headache and his eyes hurt: "Niannian, can't you just talk to your brother?"

Shi Nian has always resisted this title: "Don't call me that, I'm not a child anymore, we're only a few months away."

Yang Sile thinks that he is full of kindness to everyone around him, and never takes the lead in communicating with others, but what will he repay him?

He didn't have the strength to hide it anymore, so he sincerely asked Shi Nian for advice: "Okay, Shi Nian, teach me too, teach me how to say such things, I will tell you next time, we will be sad together."

What money can't do is difficult, but he only needs to lower the bottom line a little bit, and there is nothing easier in the world.

"It's better than being sad by myself. I was so stupid before."
