Comeback [entertainment]

The fragrance of clothes, the shadows on the temples, the fans of paper and gold.

Like a butterfly, Mei Si shuttled among the guests with Yuan Shang.She was originally a European and American singer with a small reputation, so she had a lot of friends and knowledge, and she could chat with anyone in the hall.Hurricane is a record company. It started out as a film company, and then entered the music industry to sign contracts with major stars. Therefore, all the celebrities in the pop music industry came for the vinyl records.The European and American music circles are relatively mature, so the responsibilities of various responsibilities are clear. Singers are no longer the only focus in the circle, but most of these celebrities are behind the scenes.

Some of them specialize in production, some are music critics, some run orchestras, and some make arrangements and write lyrics. They occupy almost half of the pop music scene in Europe and America.In front of them, even a well-known local singer like Mei Si had to be polite, let alone Yuan Shang, who had only released one album in China. Although "Beginning" caused some splashes on the major charts, but the market is so big, so big that there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are only a few people who really know and remember him because of this album. .

Fortunately, his current title is not just a "Chinese singer". The establishment of the studio has allowed him to step into the business world with half a foot. Coupled with Mei Si's strong recommendation, these producers are still patient even though they don't know each other. To deal with him, it is a good start for Yuan Shang that the two sides can enter into a conversation.

Old Waldorf held a blond young male model on the left, and a beautiful girl with a graceful figure on the right. Holding the male model's hand, he raised a glass of champagne and sipped, obviously enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by beauties.He glanced at Qin Huo, who was expressionless beside him, and then turned his head to look at Yuanshang, who was having a good conversation with the same group of people, with a surprised expression on his face and slightly raised brows: "I feel more and more that he is amazing, I can actually chat with Barlow. Barlow is a picky guy, and although his production team is really good, I still don't like dealing with him."

Qin Huo snorted.

Old Waldorf looked at him, and his smile became more interesting: "Oh~ are you looking at Mays? She is also very good, young and famous, and what's more rare is that she has never been married. I thought you Asians are not Appreciating black skin, it doesn't seem to be the case now."

The snow-skinned and red-lipped girl beside Qin Huo became displeased, and turned her body to get closer to him: "You haven't talked to me, is it because you like Mei Si?"

The other party's warm skin and lingering perfume made Qin Huo feel unaccustomed for a while. He pushed the other party away, drank the champagne in the glass, took another glass from the tray, and drank silently.

Yuanshang glanced back slightly, before the dancing session, the people in the room were still busy socializing, although everyone was trying to politely lower their decibels, so many voices of communication gathered in the At the same time, it is still a torrent that cannot be ignored.When everyone is busy making ends meet, those characters who don't need to take the initiative to attack but just stand there and actively wait for others to come forward to make friends are so low-key and eye-catching.Qin Huo was standing in the corner, together with the host of the party, Old Waldorf, a continuous stream of people came and went around him, and the female singer in a dress beside him was so beautiful that she was radiant.

She didn't know what she was talking about, she was close to Qin Huola, and the expression on her face seemed to be coquettish.

Yuanshang still wanted to watch, but Mei Si beside him stretched out her hand and pulled him, with a little excitement in her voice: "Hey, it's started!"

What started?The melodious music at the party scene suddenly changed. Yuanshang turned around and saw a few people on the small stage that had been vacant in the middle of the venue.

When Mei Si saw them, she became happier. Even Barlow, the producer who had always been calm during the conversation, showed a smile in his eyes: "Actually, compared to the last dance, I think this is the highlight."

Mei Si echoed a few times, seeing that Yuanshang didn't know why, she quickly explained to him: "Producers are usually behind the scenes, and rarely have direct contact with singers who are not in the work plan. This kind of activity helps them discover unappreciated ideals. Newcomer. When the vinyl party first started, it was really just a screening event inside Hurricane Records.

To this day, the scale of the vinyl party is getting bigger and bigger, and the specifications are getting more and more solemn. New singers can no longer come in without an invitation letter, but this tradition is still preserved, but the meaning is different.Being able to be on stage is more like a privilege than a job for the singers present. The sound source will be intercepted and made into vinyl for all the guests present during the whole process, and the video will also be broadcast on the TV station. CAA Oh, this is a big TV station, being on it is more effective than doing a hundred commercials.I'm holding a concert recently, so I really need this kind of exposure. "

The people on the stage began to move the equipment, and almost all the singers present were ready to move. Mei Si grabbed Yuanshang's arm and made no secret of her desire: "I want to go up!"

Yuan subconsciously broke free, but failed to do so, so he could only helplessly look at Barlow, shook his head and smiled wryly.Barlow had a very happy chat with him just now, and now he is in a good mood, and he even showed a rare smile: "Why don't you go up and try?"

He knew from the conversation just now that Yuan Shang was a singer, but he really didn’t know anything about his works. The European and American music circles are already very large and mature, with good works and good singers emerging one after another, and he still can’t listen to his own music. , Many Europeans and Americans have no energy or interest to pay attention to foreign language songs.Presumably most of the guests at the party were the same as him, because until now no one has taken the initiative to discuss his music with Yuan Shang.Either they have never heard of it at all, or they disdain this Chinese musician. In short, apart from the recognizable Mei Si around him, Yuanshang looks almost transparent.

Barlow actually didn't really want to chat with this transparent person just now, but Yuanshang's demeanor really makes people feel like a spring breeze. The other party has a lot of knowledge and witty conversation, so he was brought into the conversation unconsciously.It’s just one thing to have a good chat. Being friends is different from doing business. When Yuan Fang mentioned that he wanted to introduce newcomers from domestic studios to the market, Barlow still sounded quite disapproving.

To be honest, how many people in the music circle don't know the chaos in the Chinese music scene?Earlier, the music of this country was still competitive, but in the past ten years, that short-lived scenery has visibly disappeared.As a well-known producer, he has made many singers popular in the European and American circles. Every year, singer teams from Chinese-speaking regions come to seek cooperation, but he is not prejudiced, and there are not many reliable ones.The focus of these teams is not on making music at all, they just want to be popular and have a place, so that they can return to China to improve their status and make money.

He didn't know Yuanshang's strength, but if he could get the best album of Kensunati, he probably wouldn't be so bad, but the limitations and influence of Chinese music were still an insurmountable flaw.Talking about cooperation, Barlow couldn't bear to directly reject the other party's almost naive idea, so he could only euphemistically say that he needed to think about it.

In fact, even if the other party doesn't say anything, Yuanshang can feel it. He is not surprised. In the circle of serious music, even businessmen are different from ordinary businessmen.In addition to money, they will pursue many things at the same time, such as beliefs, such as persistence in market quality.He and Mei Si got to know a lot of producers that night, but few of them gave a direct answer to his proposed cooperation. The impression of Chinese music on them was too deep-rooted. Even a giant company like the Four Seas Group had to rely on Hurricane Music Influence can be accepted by the market.

This situation made him a little tired, but he was indescribably unwilling.

Those skeptical eyes and noncommittal smiles seemed to have an invisible weight, weighing heavily on his heart.

Mei Si dragged him to the side of the stage to sign up. The place was already full of singers with the same purpose. There were too many monks and few meat, and the places were limited. Not everyone could get on the stage of the vinyl party. Not the most competitive wave either.

Yuanshang saw old Waldorf and Qin Huo inside, there were a lot of people, so he couldn't help pushing and shoving, he and Mei Si separated in the crowd, and were pushed to Qin Huo's side.After the plane landed, the two of them had hardly spoken, but at this moment they suddenly approached, Yuanshang raised his head slightly to look at Qin Huo's face, and was speechless for a moment.There was a faint smell on Qin Huo's dress, which belonged to him alone, and was so unique among countless noisy voices.The other party also looked at him in silence, his head drooped slightly, his hair was fixed, and his temperament was more rigid than the previous scattered appearance. Qin Huo's lips were slightly pursed, and under the slightly lowered brow bone, the deep eyes seemed to be able to see heart.

Someone squeezed from behind, Yuanshang staggered in a daze, and directly stuck to Qin Huo's body.

Immediately, an arm as hard as steel bound his back. Qin Huo embraced him, took him back a few steps, and glanced at his back unkindly, as if trying to find out who pushed him so carelessly. to people.

This posture allows Yuanshang to easily see Qin Huo's shoulders. Qin Huo is taller than him, and his frame is also a bit bigger. The upper body is outlined by the well-cut dress. sense of security.Maybe it was because of the setback in seeking cooperation just now, or maybe it was watching that glamorous beauty who was inseparable from each other all night, a crack suddenly opened in Yuan Shang's heart that he thought was hard, and endless grievances gushed out.

He lowered his head and rested his forehead on Qin Huo's shoulder. With one hand, he reached up, grabbed the collar of the other party's dress, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Qin Huo was startled by the dull aura that he had never felt before on the other party, his face changed slightly, even the depression of seeing him and Mei Si together was dispelled, and his chest was filled with deep worry .What's going on here?Didn't you just have fun chatting and laughing with people?Yuan Shang's fluffy hair scratched his neck and side face, soft and prickly, with the aroma of shampoo and styling fluid.Qin Huo glanced at the surrounding crowd. The old Waldorf directly filled in the name of the female singer he brought with him. He was looking at him with an ambiguous smile at this time. He must be extremely uncomfortable as usual. At this time But I can't give birth to any special feelings.

He lowered his head to see Yuanshang's face, but in vain he could only stare at the back of his furry head, moved his fingers slightly, and finally couldn't help covering it.

"What's the matter?" The voice was so gentle that even he felt strange, Qin Huo felt that he was immersed in a kind of slightly sour sugar water at this moment, and Yuanshang's hand holding his collar was pressed against his chest, as if he could Feeling the burning heat of skin contact, hating himself for not being able to read people's hearts, Qin Huo rubbed his face against Yuanshang's hair, coaxing him, "Where did you get hit? Are you still unhappy? Is the venue too boring? Shall we go out to get some air?"

"Old Qin..." Yuanshang felt his big hands gently rubbing the back of his head, and the intimacy could not be hidden. The tiredness and anxiety that had been suppressed all this time seemed to have found an outlet, and rushed out recklessly. .With the other party's ambiguous attitude, and the chaotic and lackluster status of the music world, he tightened his grip on Qin Huo's collar, and yelled over and over again in a low voice: "Old Qin...Old Qin..."

"Huh? I'm here. I'm here." He called once, and Qin Huo agreed, his eyes became softer, bewildered and flattered.Qin Huo can't remember the last time he was so close to someone, he just feels that Yuanshang is like a self-contained and independent cat at this time, and the occasional weakness makes people want to stop.

Yuanshang felt a strong sense of comfort in this atmosphere. He changed his angle, tilted his head slightly, and maintained the movement of leaning on Qin Huo's shoulder, showing his face.Qin Huo's gaze never left. At this time, he met his gaze. From this different angle, it was the first time that Yuanshang saw his gentle and undisguised appearance.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, the atmosphere was soft and not intimate, so clean that no trace of desire could be found, but so intimate that they almost merged into one at this moment.

The sudden depression was dispelled so suddenly, Yuanshang didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with such an intimate hug between him and Qin Huo, he grabbed Qin Huo's collar, Qin Huo held his waist, his eyes were entangled, Like parasitic vines and branches, two buds on the same pedicle.

There were noisy noises all around, and some people were attracted by them to look over, but there was no room for extra people in the world, Qin Huo stared at Yuanshang's trembling eyelashes and high nose bridge, couldn't help looking I lowered my head a little bit...

"Why!? How could you do this!"

The sudden sound that appeared not far away was like a sharp knife piercing into the temple, which made people tremble. Yuanshang reacted suddenly, and turned around, and sure enough, he saw Mei Si arguing with someone, and the person looked familiar, it was the whole party The blonde beauty who followed Qin Huo.

Yuanshang knew her, the newcomer Samantha Veblen who was highly praised by Hurricane Records, during the sales period of "Start", her album was in the top three on the list, and she was very popular in the European and American music circles, ranking higher than Mays .

She obviously looked down on Mess, and she didn't even give her a straight look. She stood beside the old Waldorf, leaning against the big tree, with a relaxed expression and slightly drawn red lips. She was shockingly beautiful and dignified.On the other hand, Mei Si's face was black and purple with anger, her fists were clenched tightly, her eyes were sharp, and she looked aggressive.

Yuan Shang subconsciously felt that Mei Si had suffered a loss, and wanted to go over to check, but who knew that just as he stepped forward, he was pulled back by a powerful force on his waist.He slammed back into Qin Huo's arms again, and subconsciously hugged the other's waist with both hands, raised his head to meet Qin Huo's downcast gaze, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.The gentleness on the other party's face that was so thick that it could melt into water just now has disappeared, and his face is as calm as ever. With those eyes, seeing the turbulent currents under the calm sea, the old man blushed and his heart softened.

Under the palm of the other party's waist is really thin and flexible, hard, and the hip line is high, and the end of the palm can feel the slight bulge.Enduring the desire to move down and pinch, Yuanshang noticed a comforting message from the other party's silence, and couldn't help evoking a meaningful smile.

"Bichi!" Mei Si's voice sounded again, "Say it! Why do you cross out other people's names?"

There was a little more helplessness in Yuanshang's smile, and he looked at Qin Huo silently. Qin Huo looked at him with a bit of disappointment in his eyes, but he let go of his hand little by little. Where countless pairs of eyes gather, it is impossible for any outrageous behavior to occur.

"What's the matter?" Yuanshang came out from the corner and walked towards Mess, his eyes fell on Samantha who was still calm, who was leaning on the old Waldorf, and his smart eyes looked over, scanning up and down, The arc of the corner of the mouth became more and more mocking.

Mei Si grabbed Yuan Shang and stared at Samantha fiercely: "I signed up for you, but she crossed it out!"

She pointed at the page of paper on the table, and when she took a look, she saw two crooked Chinese characters sandwiched between a pile of swashbuckling English. The two characters were written so that they were almost scattered Come, but the strokes are very hard, one can imagine how serious Mei Si wrote.

Now these two ugly Chinese characters have been crossed with several horizontal lines, and a row of letters has been filled in the extra blank space beside them - "Samantha Veblen"

Yuanshang looked at Samantha, who held the wine glass with an innocent face: "There are only ten places."

She said it confidently, and the old Waldorf behind her was also smiling, and she couldn't tell what position she was taking. Mei Si had an old grudge with her for a long time, and she couldn't wait to go up and fight directly: "Since you know that there are only ten places, you can go earlier Come sign up! Why did you cross out Yuanshang's name?!"

Samantha has competed with her for so many years, and it's no secret that the internal and external discord is not a secret. I thought to myself that I want to cross out your name, if it's not because I'm afraid that the trouble will be too big and I will settle for the next best thing?She didn't mean to target Yuanshang, but she didn't take him seriously. Old Waldorf didn't say a word when she wrote her name just now. With such a big mountain behind her, she wasn't afraid of Meiss, and she didn't need to worry about it. Chinese singer?

Yuan Shang picked up the piece of paper on the table, Meiss even wrote his name on her own, there is no such thing as the last one, Samantha deliberately picked out her own and crossed it out, her disdainful attitude was too much too obvious.

He was a little upset today because the cooperation was not going well, but at this moment he smiled angrily, pulled his eyes away from the paper, and looked at the other party fixedly: "What do you mean?"

Samantha's original attention was all on Meiss, but now she really looked at him, and her arrogance was first suppressed by the oncoming anger, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately became angry.

Those beautiful eyes scanned Yuanshang's body, she couldn't believe it, Mei Si was fine, Yuanshang dared to have an opinion?Does he not know who he is?Don't you know who is behind you?

The quarrel here is in full swing, which naturally attracts many spectators. Every year, in order to be on the commemorative version of vinyl, the singers will fight openly and secretly. Most of the tearing forces end in person.Apparently there were quite a few people present who thought similarly to Samantha. Samantha was famous and powerful, arrogant and measured. She didn't choose the more difficult Meiss to attack, not to mention the cheerful old Waldorf standing behind her.

If the focus of the conflict is on her and Meiss, the two sides are still evenly matched, and many people will hesitate a bit when standing in line.

But now Mei Si has not been substantially affected. Samantha just snatched the spot of a little Chinese singer who is not very famous. Waldorf's face is really a little ignorant.A lot of people accused her one by one -

"Mess, forget it, why make such an ugly scene?"

"Take it as a face for Mr. Waldorf."

"Yeah, why are you having trouble with Samantha over a boyfriend?"

"Hurry up and get ready, be careful not to look good on stage with too much makeup.

These people talked non-stop around Meiss, but even their eyes were stingy to share a share with Yuan Shang. Although they didn't say anything excessive, they showed the same naked contempt as Samantha.

The original face was calm, looking at Samantha's smiling face, his back suddenly felt hot, and it was pressed against his generous and hot chest.

Qin Huo's cold voice sounded above his head: "Waldorf."

Waldorf, who had been smiling while holding the wine glass, had a more subtle expression. He cast a slightly triumphant look at Qin Huo, and said silently, "You like him."

Qin Huo looked at him blankly, his face was written all over: "Yes, so what?"

His broad and powerful palms pressed Yuanshang's shoulders, instantly shattering all the hardships of fighting alone on Yuanshang. He pressed the back of Qin Huo's hands, raised his head, and for the first time faced his parents and people other than Yu Shuimiao so openly. Make such a willful and natural request: "I want to go up."

Qin Huo looked down at him with a slightly reassuring look, then looked threateningly at old Waldorf.

Old Waldorf seemed to have completed a wicked game, and was finally willing to put down the cup in his hand. He took Samantha's wrist with wrinkled hands like orange peel, and pulled the girl who realized something was wrong into his arms. The hoarse voice was soft and slow: "It's getting late, you should go."

"Waldorf?" Samantha thought she had a chance to win, but she looked at him helplessly, "What do you mean?"

"Send her back." Waldorf didn't even look at her, and gave instructions to the male model at hand. The other party immediately understood, politely stood between Samantha and Waldorf, and gestured "please" to the latter. gesture.

There was no sound, Samantha looked at him fixedly, facing the countless complicated gazes around her, she couldn't hide her shame immediately, her eyes turned red instantly.

Watching the two tugging figures leave, Waldorf laughed heartily, as if nothing had happened, and stepped forward to give Yuan Shang a hug.

"I'm really sorry." In front of Qin Huo, he didn't dare to hold him for too long. After a little feeling of the perfect body shape of the other party, his attitude became more and more pleasant, "I'm old and confused, I probably caused you trouble, I hope You can understand."

The other party pretended to be deaf and dumb just now, and came forward because of Qin Huo's pressure. Yuanshang was not happy with his apology, but the eyes of the guests around him changed immediately.No one knows the virtues of the old Waldorf better than them. He does whatever he wants, and he never looks at the reason. It is more difficult to make him subdue. Now he is apologizing to Yuanshang, but he still doesn’t eat tofu by the way. He is respectful and well-behaved. The posture is almost different from normal.

What is the original origin?

Barlow stood outside the crowd, playing with the wine glass in his hand, thinking of the cooperation invitation he had just proposed before, and fell into deep thought.

After Mei Si got angry, she couldn't help being afraid when she thought of how she yelled in front of the old Waldorf just now, and pulled Yuanshang to the corner of the stage: "What is the relationship between you and the old Waldorf? Why did he speak for you?" ?”

Yuanshang shook his head, and looked deeply at Qin Huo, who was saying something to Waldorf with a stern face in the distance, his heart was a little soft, and he was a little unconvinced.

He was never underestimated when he was in China, and if he was so inferior outside the country, what about other singers?Wouldn't it be more difficult?He questioned himself like this, but he knew in his heart that if the Chinese music scene could not fight against these people, it would not be treated fairly.

Such a unique experience, once is enough.

The atmosphere in the venue quickly returned to harmony after the quarrel, as if the little episode just now had no effect, and the singers who came on stage one after another finished singing, they would also receive enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Yuanshang took the stage amidst the indistinguishable applause, his eyes swept across the venue, except for Qin Huo, he couldn't let go of any extra people in his sight.

The appearance of a Chinese face on the stage was really very abrupt. The guests on the stage pretended to be expecting, but their eyes were flying wildly, secretly guessing and asking about his details about the matter just now.

The slender fingers landed on the keys, and the smooth melody of the piano interrupted their absent-minded communication for a moment.

Yuanshang lowered his head to look at the piano keys, and now he raised his head sideways, passed through the crowd, and met Qin Huo's fixed gaze.

The clear and silky voice flows wonderfully through the speakers at the top of the venue——

"Anywhere you are, I am near (no matter where you go, I will follow)"

The combination of pure qin and pure human voice, the beautiful singing is as ethereal as a picture scroll that is slowly being opened, breaking the barrier of language, and many people present who have never heard Yuanshang’s Chinese album are lying together in their hearts There was a trough, and the slightly noisy noise disappeared in an instant. Barlow, who was drinking, also stopped his movements in an instant, and looked at the man who was fixedly looking at the audience in one direction while playing. Young man looking at piano keys.

"When it's love you say them outloud (When it's love you say them outloud)"

Yuanshang's singing skills are long and skillful, full of emotions, and because of the vigorous training, the timbre played on the spot is even more touching than that in the recording studio.Qin Huo looked at him, because his feet were fluttering during this song, but Yuanshang didn't hide it at all, his eyes were pure and enthusiastic.The lyrics seem to have something to say, and it seems that they are just singing. The melody is not so complicated, but the shocking feeling brought to people is no less than the exciting rock accompaniment of the previous singer.

Mei Si held her heart in both hands, her eyes were gratified and intoxicated. She had listened to Yuanshang's Chinese song, and she had already had a lot of feelings at that time. Now, when she switched to the language she was familiar with, she felt that all her emotions were uncontrollably sinking into this song. in the music.

When the love is strong, speak boldly.

Her upper body swayed from side to side with the singing, and when she heard the slightly changed lyrics, she felt a surge of love uncontrollably coming out of the lines, her heart moved, and she opened her eyes slightly.

Yuanshang didn't look at the piano, his eyes fell on the end of the guest group that she couldn't see from this angle, motionless, with deep eyes.

At the end of the song, Yuan Shang did not bow, looking very indifferent, got up and left the stage.

His undisguised anger caused many guests in the audience who were quieted down by the music to feel inexplicably embarrassed. They looked at each other, but their eyes were no longer the inquiring questions at the beginning, but inexplicably more. A little ashamed.

Regardless of whether there is a backstage or not, whether he is a famous singer or not, his live singing skills are enough to make those who turned a blind eye to the difficulties he suffered feel guilty.

During the dance, men and women began to form pairs like flowers and butterflies.Qin Huo was a little confused because of that song, so he avoided the suggestive gazes of many ladies and got into the open-air balcony next to the hall.

The balcony is full of green plants, lush and lush, and the swaying dance music flows out from the exit everywhere, and gets into Qin Huo's ears. In the corner, you can see the long skirt fluttering on the dance floor, and every man except him obeys. The rules invite their own dance partners.

Is Yuan Shang dancing with Mei Si?

What does that song mean?The original words are not like this. What do you mean when you are in a strong mood, you have to speak out boldly?

His thoughts were mixed, looking at the moonlight, heaved a long sigh.

All kinds of uncertain guesses are in a mess, and they can't figure out the clues, so they can only be stuffed in the corner in groups.

With steady footsteps and a sigh, Yuanshang's clear voice sounded from behind.

"Don't you dance?" Qin Huo turned his head. Under the moonlight, the other party's handsome face was brighter than the Milky Way, with a playful smile on his face, "It's my fault that I forgot that your girlfriend has left , why don't I play a song with you?"

The author has something to say:

In addition, this song is not sung by Yuan Shangyuan, it is called "whatarewords", it is quite nice, and I recommend it (I dare not copy the translation, I flip it by myself, the words may be inaccurate, forgive me)
