After same-sex marriage was legal, we left [entertainment circle]

Bai Zhe's daily life is very simple, he rarely attends events and doesn't socialize much.Although the Chinese music scene is going downhill, there are many media who are rushing to invite Bai Zhe to do the show.He thinks that he has no talent for variety shows, and he doesn't know how to cooperate with the host to speak, let alone please the fans, so he rejects such invitations.

So after "Best Singer" released the news that he was invited to become one of the celebrity mentors, the industry was in an uproar. Everyone said that this program really cost money, and it actually hired Bai Zhe.

"Best Singer" is a music talent show created by domestic first-line TV stations with all their efforts, aiming to select the best new singers in contemporary China.A total of four celebrity mentors were invited to the program. The names of the first two mentors were announced early. They were heavyweight figures who were once all the rage in the music world. It took two weeks for the No. 3 mentor to be announced to the public, and Bai Zhe would be in charge.

As soon as the news came out, the social networking site exploded instantly. Bai Zhe's fans expressed that they would make a pilgrimage on time every Saturday night. The self-media accounts analyzed how this show moved Bai Zhe, and what Bai Zhe's participation in the show would bring. Celebrities such as seniors and juniors in the music industry collectively forwarded this news, saying that although the program has not been aired yet, but with Bai Zhe's support, this must be a TV program that can dominate the Chinese music scene.

To sum up, "Best Singer" is destined to have good ratings before it starts broadcasting.

As if the advertising fee was not enough, the sponsors in the backstage were trying to grab a title, and the "Best Singer" in the front stage released another blockbuster——

They invited Du Zixiao to be the last mentor.

— It exploded!Totally exploded!

Du Zixiao's fans retweeted it like swiping the screen, and related topics all made it to the top ten of the most searched list, so crowded that there were not even a list of the most popular movies released at the same time. Tickets for the first recording of "The Best Singer" were sold at sky-high prices, and some brain-dead fans cried and signed up for the competition even though they were tone deaf, expressing that they would be satisfied as long as they saw Du Zixiao from a distance.There are many things to say on social networking sites. Some people question whether Du Zixiao, who is a filmmaker, is qualified to be a mentor for music competitions. Some people ridicule "The Best Singer" to find a young meat to be a mentor is not in line with the original intention of purely making music Some people even expressed their admiration for Du Zixiao's courage to sit with the other three mentors.

When the news reached Bai Zhe's ears, Bai Zhe just smiled and said to the manager beside him, "Actually, Du Zixiao is qualified to be a mentor."

At that time, he was sitting in the recording studio listening to the demo, selecting newcomers who could be cultivated from a large number of song demos sent in.However, everyone's mentality is too impetuous, and those who flaunt themselves by making music in a down-to-earth manner only have a heart that wants to be popular in the end.But, without solid basic skills and a little bit of polishing and training, how long can you be popular just relying on the company's continuous piling up of resources?In case of a scandal, he doesn't even have the ability to stand up again.

Bai Zhe gave Du Zixiao such a high evaluation, even the sound engineer around him was a little surprised.Seeing that the recording engineer and Cheng Lin opened their mouths at the same time, he looked puzzled and explained: "Du Zixiao's composition ability is very strong. I once asked him to write a composition for me within 24 hours." The first complete song came out, and it took him less than eight hours to hand it over to me. By the way, he also raised a lot of opinions on the arrangement of this song. If he doesn’t make movies, but now makes music, he won’t die of hunger .”

Du Zixiao was trained by Bai Zhe. Even though he went halfway to make a movie, Bai Zhe still sought truth from facts and gave him a very high opinion of music.Bai Zhe is a person who always treats one thing with another. He will never completely deny a person just because of his shortcoming.

Cheng Lin didn't like to be called Bai Zhe and mentioned Du Zixiao more. When the two divorced, the quarrel was too fierce, which caused Cheng Lin to feel physically uncomfortable when she heard the word Du Zixiao now.She took the folder from the table in front of Bai Zhe, and seeing that there was no tick on the long list, she couldn't help but frowned: "You didn't list any of these?"

Bai Zhe shook his head, and replied very simply: "No."

On the list is a list of all the media that have sent invitations to Bai Zhe recently. His acceptance of the invitation of "Best Singer" made other media also see the possibility of inviting him.So variety shows, interviews, events... all kinds of invitations poured in, and some offered sky-high prices.

Cheng Lin was helpless: "Proper exposure is good for you."

Bai Zhe remained silent, lowered his head to study the demo with the sound engineer.

"And you agreed to go to "Best Singer", but rejected other media, it's very offensive."

Bai Zhe remained silent.

"I know you don't like it, but more exposure is good for the company's future development. What's more, several companies have paid sky-high notice fees. Aren't we short of money..."

"Then go and pay the ones with sky-high prices." Bai Zhe raised his head, finally willing to make some compromises for the company, "The rest is up to you."

Such a result is already very good, Cheng Lin didn't ask for more, nodded and walked out.

When Cheng Lin left the house, the sound engineer asked, "Didn't Ji Qinzhang want to invest in you, wouldn't you just take his money?"

Bai Zhe said indifferently: "You don't get paid without merit."

The sound engineer looked narrow-minded: "Come on, what can Mr. Ji ask you for in return, and what does he want?"

"Not now, doesn't mean not in the future." Bai Zhe glanced at him, and took a demo from the side.

The sound engineer stopped the demo in his hand halfway, he winked and smiled connotatively: "Then what does he want, can you just give it to him?"

Bai Zhe was speechless. With a shake of his hand, he took the demo out of the opponent's hand and said angrily, "Then I can't ask for his money."

After the lineup was announced, the "Best Singer" program group gathered four instructors at a very fast speed to hold a press conference.Apart from Bai Zhe and Du Zixiao, the other two mentors are a man and a woman.The female tutor is Mo Xiwen, from Taiwan. She became popular with guava music, and her actual voice is ever-changing. Bai Zhe once tailored a British rock song for her, and the effect of her interpretation is amazing; the male tutor is Gao Hengfeng, He is the oldest of the four tutors. He has excellent singing skills, but his singing skills are a little outdated. Bai Zhe's manager secretly inquired about the news. It is said that Gao Hengfeng has not been financially well-off in recent years, so he wants to use the show to become popular again and spend the rest of his life. financial crisis.

Although Bai Zhe has high demands on himself, he doesn't ask others to do the same.What's more, if you don't have a profit, you can't afford it early. After all, no one really comes here to waste three months purely for music.Everyone here has their own purpose, it's just tacit understanding.

The press conference was held in a grand manner, and almost all the media that could be ranked in the circle came to the scene.The program team carefully designed many links for interaction, and invited many famous film and television stars with good relationships to join in the show.Among them, there is a hot female artist who has been very ambiguous with Du Zixiao recently, and the paparazzi openly released the news that they are going to stare at the two of them, so they came here without avoiding suspicion.How could the live host let the two of them go?Sure enough, he made fun of Du Zixiao and the female artist, and asked the female artist to predict who would be the final champion mentor.The female artist Jiao Didi praised every tutor, but finally when she mentioned Du Zixiao, she handed over the bouquet in her hand.

The audience booed, Du Zixiao looked shy while holding the flowers, but he couldn't help but cast a glance at Bai Zhe from the corner of his eye.

In the interview session after the press conference, there were naturally many questions about Du Zixiao's personal relationship.Du Zixiao's answers were always ambiguous, and he told everyone to guess. The reporter asked too much, so the program team came out to stop him and asked everyone to ask more questions related to the program.The four instructors sat in a row, and the questions were almost all focused on Du Zixiao. The reporters cooperated with the program group and asked the other instructors a few questions, and the questioners turned back to Du Zixiao.

A reporter did not know where to get the inside information, and asked Du Zixiao, originally he wanted to refuse to come to "The Best Singer" as a mentor, why did he agree later?

Du Zixiao said a lot of polite words, such as the sincerity of the program group moved him, he really thinks this program is very meaningful and so on.When he answered, he couldn't help glancing at Bai Zhe from the corner of his eye. Bai Zhe was sitting across from him, unscrewing the cap of the mineral water to drink water. come out.

Obviously, such a vain and stereotyped answer will not satisfy the experienced journalists.As soon as he finished speaking, another reporter stepped forward, and this time the question was much sharper.

"Mr. Du Zixiao, you debuted as a singer at the beginning. At that time, you studied music with Mr. Bai Zhe. Mr. Bai Zhe also praised you as his favorite student many times. But later you joined the film and television industry. Teacher Bai Zhe made a lot of trouble. So you will be under a lot of pressure when you share the stage with Teacher Bai Zhe this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhe, who was drinking water quietly, instantly raised his head and looked at the reporter who asked the question.

Du Zixiao's head suddenly became dizzy, and he remembered the words that Xiaogui often said - Mr. Bai really has a good temper, but it's terrible if a person with a good temper gets angry!

This reporter friend, you are so bold, you can just come at me with such a question with ulterior motives to sow discord, why do you provoke Bai Zhe?

Du Zixiao knew Bai Zhe was upset when he saw Bai Zhe's expression, but Bai Zhe is a god, how could he get angry in public?He quickly picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "First of all, I have to clarify that I have never been unhappy with Mr. Bai. Before, now, and never in the future. In my heart, I have always regarded Mr. Bai as my closest person , no matter what I am doing now, I will always be Teacher Bai’s student, and this will not change.” He turned his head and smiled softly at Bai Zhe, “As for the pressure, there will definitely be. But it’s not only from Teacher Bai , also from Teacher Gao Hengfeng and Teacher Mo Xiwen. The three instructors are my seniors, and their musical attainments are higher than mine. To be on the same stage with them, to be honest, I am under a lot of pressure. But pressure is also motivation, I will not Backing down because of the pressure, the pressure makes me fight harder."

Du Zixiao has always been good at talking. Bai Zhe had only heard about it before, but this was the first time he experienced it on the spot.This passage of his speech was impeccable, clarifying the rumors of discord between the two, and also praised the other two mentors.Bai Zhe thought that he might not have the same ability as him in another ten years, so he couldn't help but glance at him approvingly.

It just so happened that Du Zixiao looked over as if asking for credit, and the two looked at each other briefly in front of countless flashing lights and cameras, and looked away from each other to conceal it.

After the press conference, Du Zixiao entered Bai Zhe's lounge openly.
