silver sea

Returning to Donghe from Lingang, I immediately went to the company for a meeting.The matter would not alarm Liu Wangyu or Huang Anwei, so Alian simply asked Wen Youxia about the situation and said "I see".

Later in the day, Bai Yanhui's manager came to the door aggressively, saying between the lines: "You must apologize publicly or we will wait and see."

Ah connected to the phone, Qiu Sheng originally thought that this little girl who was trembling with fright at seeing himself and Wen Youxia quarreling would not be able to cope with a similar scene, and prepared himself for the quarrel, but he miscalculated again.

A Lian's tone was not at all aggressive: "Are you sure it's our artist who had a conflict with Mr. Bai? Do you know why? You don't know... Haha, then you should ask Mr. Bai. Our side is If you want to reconcile privately, if you refuse, then we have nothing to do, and we can make things bigger and let the public judge."

Hearing this, Wen Youxia pulled Qiu Sheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Did you record?"

"No."

Wen Youxia had a headache and couldn't understand the methods of these practitioners.

"Are you still planning to buy Hot Search? Anyway, if you buy it, we will definitely buy it. We will give you a view from both sides. It just so happens that everyone will watch the fun this weekend..." Alian still said with a smile, "Image? What about Wen Xia?" He’s not afraid if he has an image. But Teacher Bai is different, we don’t do things that we’re not sure of... Before it attracts too much attention, you delete all the online videos here, and we pay for Teacher Bai’s going to the hospital. Of course, Bian will have to pay... But everyone has been very busy recently, next time we see each other, we will ask Wen Xia to reconcile with Teacher Bai in private, what do you think?"

After calling for less than 5 minutes, A Lian put down the phone and returned it to Qiu Sheng, but looked at Wen Youxia: "Brother Wen Xia, you can't be so impulsive in the future."

Wen Youxia was surprised that the dispute was resolved with just a few words, and asked uncertainly, "Are you all right?"

"It's all right." A Lian spread his hands, "I heard the other party's tone seems to know that you beat Teacher Bai, but I don't know the reason. Since Teacher Bai didn't tell him, it means that he is not very good at telling the truth, or lying is also very bad. It's easy to be exposed... At this time, we should be tougher, and he has no idea how many cards we have, so he will usually agree to a settlement. But if there is still trouble, then other public relations methods are needed."

Lu Yining was taken aback when he heard that, "I'm ready to fight them to the death."

Alian smiled and stroked his hair: "Young man, don't think about fighting about everything... Hey, what is this? I have encountered many more difficult problems than this before, small problems."

"Sister, who did you take with you before?" Lu Yining asked.

A Lian mentioned the name of a girl group—the top traffic in the past two years, but the members were unreliable, and there were several accidents where idols were disqualified, all of which were resolved by perfect public relations methods.Even people like Wen Youxia who don't hear anything outside the window have heard about it more or less, and at this moment they are surprised that A Lian actually participated in it.

"The manager was my master at the time, and I learned a lot from him." Alian smiled, "Although I don't know much about the rules in your circle, Sister Wang said that most of them are relatively simple... as long as a few of you There is no conflict, and I can solve everything else."

Gu Qi was immediately in awe of her.

But Qiu Sheng was inexplicably unhappy. He thought that Liu Wangyu just randomly found a young girl to watch them for him, but it turned out that he was a "battle-tested" professional public relations person...

The vigilance against them is obvious.

After the reorganization, apart from the smooth performance, nothing good happened.

On the surface, the three-city tour ended perfectly, but Wen Youxia beat Bai Yanhui after a few days, and gradually no one discussed it.Golden Vision's "Please Watch the Show With Me" released a promotional lineup, the first episode was recorded in Ancheng.

At first glance, Jinshi's program looks like a hodgepodge, with bands, female pop singers, boy idol groups, and even a well-known baritone in his forties.The theme is that each group of participating guests draws lots to decide a performance venue, and then invites amateurs, stipulates the theme, and arranges the venue to complete a performance within the specified time.

Rather than talking about a variety show, it is actually recording the appearance of a performance from the beginning to the end, and different styles represent the normal state of a certain field to a certain extent, and the points of view are not the same.

Just like the audience of a female singer is looking forward to her performance after her comeback, the baritone has a "dimension-breaking" effect that cannot be achieved, and the idol boy group is specially invited by Jinshi to carry the ratings.In the beginning, they didn't ask for a band, it was because the folk singer who was a regular guest suddenly had an unsuitable schedule. The executives of Jinshi and Huang Anwei had always been good friends, and they grabbed Yinshan to make up for a show, and they just promoted them to increase their popularity.

The appearance of their band in this rather "mainstream" program may represent a certain curiosity-seeking mentality of the public.

The team is pretty reliable. The director assigned to Yinshan looks like he is in his 30s. He calls himself "Old Zhang", wears glasses, has a thin body, looks like a gypsy artist, and is very talkative.He introduced himself as a veteran rock fan who used to make documentaries. This time he finally got the opportunity to follow Yinshan Band and introduced his favorite band. Pull up your spirits and concentrate on perfunctory.

The first period was fairly mild, and the venues drawn were all quite satisfactory.

Silver Mountain's venue is a drive-in movie theater.

Variety shows have elements of reality shows, so no matter how unreliable the process may seem, the script is strictly set up. In order to prevent out-of-control emergencies, "accidents" have gone through the corresponding process.With several insurance blessings, Qiu Sheng doesn’t need to worry too much about the real recording. Lao Zhang’s plan is very professional. The “where to get the equipment” that made Qiu Sheng worry about it at first was actually arranged properly. Only "acting".

Borrowing equipment, negotiating venues, and even bargaining were all routines. Lu Yining was satisfied with his desire to perform and enjoyed it, while the other two helped him.As for Wen Youxia, in Lao Zhang's words, "Just stand there."

The first day of shooting got stuck on handing out flyers.

Anseong is an ancient capital, but rock music is thriving here. Many underground bands formed their own circles around Anseong, and then gradually went underground.Compared with slightly softer styles such as dream bubbles and post-rock, Ancheng local bands are more hard-core, and the audience prefers more violent music. Heavy bands are very popular here.

According to the script, they will go to the Qingshui area where the Anseong livehouse gathers to randomly catch passers-by.

The director team arranged group performances, and instead of attracting many fans of rock music, they caught many fans of pop singers.For example, a young man recognized Qiu Sheng and asked him, "What is the relationship between you and Sang Xue?"

"……what?"

"I'm a fan of Sang Xue!" He insisted, "You are the producer of the award ceremony, right? They say you are Sang Xue's boyfriend, is it true?"

Qiu Sheng is not good at dealing with this kind of situation, especially Wen Youxia is still following behind, no matter how innocent the relationship is, it is weird to be questioned in public.He was a little afraid that Wen Youxia would misunderstand, so he said hastily, "Really," and quickly avoided the man, grabbed a passing girl and stuffed the band's flyer in her hand.

The girl was probably just passing by, and was baffled by this behavior. She picked it up out of politeness, and was about to leave when she glanced at Qiu Sheng and suddenly blushed. Regardless of the flyers or conversations, she quickly put on a mask.

"Okay I'll go!"

The leaflet in Qiu Sheng's hand was taken away, and the girl ran three steps away in the next second.He turned his head to look at the director Lao Zhang in a moment of incomprehension, and the other party also looked shocked.

At the right time, Lu Yining teased sourly: "It's good to be pretty."

It's quite a program.

I started to prepare for the shooting from before dawn in the morning, and it was normal to shoot until the early hours of the morning.Because group performances were invited, the time and cost of recording performances at night increased, and the shooting sequence had to be adjusted.Lao Zhang planned well, arranged the venue first, and decided to wait until the end to make up the shots before the performance.

The venue of the drive-in theater is spacious and empty, but there is a big screen.

The sky was getting dark, the band's logo was displayed on the screen, the lighting was simple, there were grass and concrete parking areas on all sides, there were no seats, and the sound system was temporarily arranged, but there was a taste of barbaric growth.The group performers and the passers-by who came to see the excitement, holding the "invitation letter" hand-painted by Gu Qi, climbed onto the front of the car in twos and threes, or sat on the ground, waiting for the show to start.

The greeting in advance was to record a variety show, and the audience was ready to come two or three times, but Qiu Sheng didn't think so.

"We'll try to perform it well once we say it's a performance, so let's treat it like a performance." He tuned the strings and warned Lu Yining, who was looking around, "Little Lu, don't be fooled, this is not a real documentary."

Lu Yining was a little upset when he was named and criticized: "Got it."

Qiu Sheng saw that he was frowning, and said softly, "When we start touring, we must make a documentary, not just take pictures with a camera like before."

In the past, Lu Yining and Lu Yining always fought against each other, but now that they are both mature, they have begun to coexist peacefully.

The weather is beautiful, and Ancheng welcomes this ingenious performance with a clear night.

The lighting and sound have been adjusted in advance, and the atmosphere of the scene is good. Qiu Sheng is in a good mood and sang to his heart's content, so he added a few more songs.At first, there were only a small number of audiences who were accustomed to the band and swayed slightly with the rhythm. Most of the young people sang "Respect for Freedom" later, and unexpectedly got a chorus in the chorus.

For this unexpected "accident", Lao Zhang didn't know what to say, and kept murmuring "too suitable" and "too exciting"——if it wasn't like this, Qiu Sheng would have to ask "Did you arrange childcare?" up".

Be prepared to record all night, because it exceeded expectations, and it all ended at one o'clock in the morning.After completing all the shots, the staff cooperated and began to do logistics. The modified parts of the drive-in movie theater must be restored as soon as possible so as not to affect the normal operation of the next day.

Some of the people who drove to see the performance did not leave immediately, just wandering around the edge of the recording site, taking pictures of Reuters with their mobile phones from time to time.Lao Zhang and the other teams passed the air and found that he was the fastest to complete the task, so he was very proud and didn't care about it.

Recording a reality show was much more tiring than expected. Qiu Sheng was dazzled by the camera all day and didn't eat. Now he was free to eat two steamed buns and looked at the person who dismantled the stereo on the scaffolding.

Wen Youxia stood beside him, thoughtful.

Qiu Sheng bit the bottle: "I thought you would be particularly resistant to recording programs. After all, you were very opposed to it before...going to commercial performances when you don't have any works, to make money, or something."

"I haven't really experienced lack of money before." Wen Youxia sat down on the edge with him, "One person is full and the whole family is not hungry, and I don't care too much about whether there is a meal. It is different after going to Nanqiao. Dong... the house, medical expenses, and tuition fees are all on my shoulders."

"I thought you'd go."

"I always think that one of them is old and the other is still young, so let's wait a few more years." Wen Youxia rubbed the callus of his left hand repeatedly, "Time passes slowly, life is stable and regular, and maybe they will gradually settle down. The status quo. But occasionally I see a child passing by the road carrying a guitar, and I think, do I want to live like this for the rest of my life?"

Qiu Sheng raised his hand to wrap Wen Youxia's back, but he only patted him on the shoulder in relief.

"It's okay, those 'family members' don't want it anyway."

He regards himself as a lone ranger who has no family or friends. The former is because his family has long disliked him, while the latter, Qiu Sheng thinks, friends will always have their own destination in the end. It is impossible for him to pin all his hopes on on them.

Wen Youxia didn't say anything about this sentence, he quietly watched the dim big screen with Qiu Sheng, and suddenly said: "Do you remember that we went to a similar drive-in theater before, in Donghe."

"That's right, it's over there by the sea."

"If you don't have a car, you can't get in, so you can only stand outside and look at it... It seems like Gone with the Wind. Others think we are so pitiful, but I feel so happy when I see you. Later, I passed by South Bridge many times. It was only when the movie theater remembered that we all seemed to have watched that movie together."

Qiu Sheng remained silent, busy around, no one cared about their secret corner.He turned his head, tentatively leaned on Wen Youxia's shoulder, and silently told him in this way: I am also with you now.

"I told Teacher Wen that I won't pay back whatever I owe them. I've been circling around them for the past few years, and now I still want to live for myself."

It was what Qiu Sheng wanted to hear four years ago, but now he seemed somewhat dull, so Qiu Sheng didn't know what to say. After a long time, he just leaned on Wen Youxia's shoulder and said softly, "I'm a little sleepy."

"Then sleep for a while, I'll call you if you're leaving."

Qiu Sheng said yes, just relying on Wen Youxia so attached, feeling that they rarely let go of the past and only talk about the short time of the future.
