Pilot

When they returned to Beijing, Zhao Jie forced them to bring a bunch of food, and they also took Xie Hong's cat away from Shengxia's house.

Midsummer's hair is getting longer and longer.Niu Xiaojun discussed with the styling team for a long time, let Sheng Xia trim it a little, and dye it light blue again.Shi Ye didn't know about Sheng Xia's hair dyeing. He and Gao Ce went to Taiwan to receive an award in those few days.

The day he came back, Midsummer was shooting the cover of a magazine.Shi Ye didn't tell Sheng Xia that when he got there, a boy wearing glasses waited for him downstairs for a long time. When he saw someone running over to pick up Shi Ye's coat, he said politely, "Teacher Shi Ye, I'm Brother Xiao Jun The assistant I'm looking for for you, I used to be a helper...my name is Zhou Wei."

Zhou Wei briefly introduced his situation.

Niu Xiaojun mentioned this to Shi Ye.Shi Ye sized Zhou Wei up, but didn't give him his coat, and only said, "Where's he?"

"Still filming." Zhou Wei was afraid of his tone, "Ninth floor."

In a band, the lead singer often gets more attention, which is understandable.But Pilot is special. Before joining the band, Sheng Xia established a firm foothold with the ID of 'Galileo-S'. Although others ridiculed him as an Internet celebrity, everyone in the circle knew that he was really capable.And Shi Ye is a very special topic center in the rolling circle, which makes the popularity of these two people in the band almost equal. Although the fans on both sides love to quarrel, but arguing and arguing will really make them more hyped more red.

Gao Ce and Niu Xiaojun were right.Shengxia is very popular in the mainstream music market, not only the music market, but also brand companies and TV station directors, and has many endorsements.

When we arrived at the scene, as soon as Shi Ye walked over, the staff who were originally performing their duties were startled by this sudden intruder, and someone asked in a low voice: "Aren't we only shooting S? Why did Shi Ye come here? "

The person who was asked was also surprised: "I don't know."

Shi Ye also felt that as soon as he arrived, the atmosphere of the whole shooting scene became weird.He and Zhou Wei had no choice but to retreat to a corner, watching Midsummer and chatting about work.

Zhou Wei whispered to him about the work arrangement next to him: "Teacher Shi Ye, we are going to meet with sister Li Mei from XX Media tomorrow. Brother Xiao Jun said that you must have this meal tomorrow. The official start of the tour press conference is At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Midsummer is over here, we will go directly there after eating..."

Shi Ye didn't know if he heard it, he stared at Sheng Xia, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he said to Zhou Wei: "Who dyed his hair?"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment before answering, "Sister, the company's stylist."

Shi Ye glanced at it silently, and then asked, "Do you think it looks good?"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a second, and followed his gaze to understand: "It looks good! After dyeing it yesterday, I took a picture of Sheng Xia and posted it on Weibo. Fans all said it looks good."

Shi Ye stopped talking.

Sheng Xia, who was still being asked to pose in various poses, didn't know that Shi Ye was here, and he didn't wear glasses.

I didn't eat enough in the morning, Shengxia was a little hungry at the moment, and was distracted thinking about what to have for lunch.The photographer asked him to undo two buttons for a while, made him laugh for a while, and played the piano intoxicatedly with his eyes closed for a while... After all, he was not used to shooting magazines, and Sheng Xia only felt dizzy after being tossed.

In the middle of the process, he couldn't help but said that he was too hungry and wanted to eat something. Chang Zhu came over and handed over two pieces of chocolate. Midsummer couldn't bother the staff to delay the progress, so he could only eat a few bites.

After the photographer said a few words of hard work, Sheng Xia's body completely relaxed.He took off his denim jacket and took a closer look, only to see Shi Ye in front of the computer choosing photos with the staff.

Sheng Xia glanced at Zhou Wei who was standing next to him, and the latter hurriedly trotted to the rest and handed over sandwiches and milk, "Put the cushion first." Zhou Wei hesitated for a while, but said, "Mr. Shi Ye went down to buy it by himself, But didn’t ask me to say it, don’t mention it.”

Sheng Xia took the things over and smiled: "He's like this, he must tell me in the future, just say it quietly."

The period of extreme hunger was over, Sheng Xia actually didn't really want to eat, but he still opened it and ate it while laughing, quietly moved to Shi Ye's side, and poked Shi Ye's waist when no one was paying attention.

Shi Ye ignored him, handed Sheng Xia his jacket, and said to the staff, "I think the one leaning on the guitar is the best."

In fact, the staff also thinks it looks good.In the picture, Midsummer's hair is scattered, and the light blue shoulder-length hair looks very smart and special.He was wearing a white shirt, leaning on an acoustic guitar, with a strange necklace hanging around his neck, which seemed to be a pick in the middle. Apart from that, he didn't have any accessories on his body. The stylist originally wanted to wear it for him. It turned out that Sheng Xia didn't even have pierced ears.Shi Ye reckoned that Sheng Xia was still distracted when this photo was taken. He didn't smile, and his overall appearance was erratic, but it just so happened that this photo had an indescribable indifference, which caught people's attention very much.

"But... after all, S is the lead singer and keyboard player, isn't it a little bit of a photo together with the guitar?" The staff hesitated, "Teacher Shi Ye, why don't you take a look at this picture?"

Shi Ye felt that this was inexplicable: "Why can't he appear on the scene with the guitar? Just use this."

Sheng Xia quietly touched the back of Shi Ye's hand, feeling a little cold.He put on the coat in his hand for Shi Ye, smoothing things over: "Just use that one, I like that one too."

Before going out to get in the car, a few fans blocked Sheng Xia at the door, Shi Ye was wearing a mask and Zhou Wei escorted him into the car from the side door.Shi Ye was actually very unhappy, he really wanted to catch Sheng Xia and bring her back, or stand with Sheng Xia for someone to take a picture of, but the company was very taboo about this, Zhou Wei was sent to watch the two of them.Like the current situation of the pilots, Shi Ye's complicated reputation, if something is revealed, it will be really unclear.

Shi Ye watched Sheng Xia chatting with fans through the car window.He is much calmer than before, at first he was shy and had a stiff face, but now he can joke and tease others, and he is gentle and gentle every time he signs autographs and takes photos with others.

The fans are a little chirping.The fan groups of Shi Ye and Sheng Xia are a little different. It seems that there are more boys who like Shi Ye, but those who like Sheng Xia... are basically girls.

There are still many people.Sheng Xia's hands were stuffed with things in a short while, and he heard fans praise him for his good-looking hair, good-looking clothes, good-looking shoes, and good-looking skin.

Shi Ye nodded in his heart while listening, until he heard a sentence——

"Baby, if someone bullies you, you must say it! We are all on your side!" The girl said loudly, "Don't be afraid of him, it's nothing special, he's going to pass now! "

Zhou Wei sat across from Shi Ye, with a panicked expression on his face, he didn't dare to breathe out when he heard it.

Shi Ye: "..."

Sheng Xia's expression was a little helpless: "Don't say that, I've said it many times, I have a very good relationship with Teacher Shi Ye, don't think about it."

And the group of girls had the words "I understand" on their faces, and they comforted Sheng Xia: "I really wronged you. Don't worry, we will go solo after we win the Golden Melody Award!"

Shi Ye, who was sitting in the car, sneered. He simply pulled off his mask, opened the car door, and said to Sheng Xia after a few steps: "Come up."

The group of girls saw Shi Ye who showed his head inexplicably and then retracted. He was still out of his body and didn't know the situation. Sheng Xia had already handed back the signed album and pen in his hand, and hurriedly got on the car after saying goodbye. up.

After getting in the car, Sheng Xia obviously felt that Shi Ye was in a bad mood.

Shi Ye played with his mobile phone, read the short composition that Sheng Xia had sent him in the past few days, and felt a little better. When he looked up, he saw Sheng Xia looking at him with his face up.

Midsummer's make-up hadn't been removed, and his blue hair was extremely eye-catching. Seeing him smile, Shi Ye suddenly felt... blue is indeed a very warm color.

"You still came to pick me up." Sheng Xia was very happy, and Shi Ye especially liked to do this kind of happy thing of running over without saying hello, "Just go to the venue directly."

Shi Ye snorted: "I came here as soon as I got off the plane, is that your reaction?"

After Shi Ye finished speaking, he wanted to force a few words, but Sheng Xia leaned over and sat on his lap with his legs spread apart, stretched out his arms to hug Shi Ye, and said in his ear, "I have other reactions, Feel it!" After speaking, he rubbed Shi Ye's leg, and asked him in a low voice, "Brother, does my hair look good?"

Shi Ye didn't answer at first, but said something to the front row: "Play a song, turn it up louder."

Zhou Wei understood it in seconds, and played a loud rock song without looking back.

"It's okay." Shi Ye put his hand in while kissing him, "It's pretty, but it doesn't work if it's too good-looking, people keep staring at you."

"Fans can only look at me, you can't touch me like this." Sheng Xia coaxed him softly, blushing a little after being touched, "I have something else for you to see. It's on the waist, touch it down."

Shi Ye paused, feeling that something was wrong, and lifted up Sheng Xia's clothes, and then he saw a tattoo on Sheng Xia's left waist, which was the team logo of the pilot, and inside the wing of the little man in the middle was Shi Ye's name acronym for .

Sheng Xia thought to himself, Shi Ye would probably be angry nine times out of ten.

But he didn't expect that Shi Ye looked at Sheng Xia for a long time with a very complicated expression, and said, "Are you good at reading minds?"

Midsummer is unclear, so: "Huh?"

Shi Ye didn't answer, and unbuttoned his shirts one by one.When the clothes were lifted, Shengxia saw a tattoo similar to her own under Shi Ye's collarbone, but the difference was that surrounding the villain was a row of curly English-midsummer.

It was Shi Ye who got it after finishing his work in Taiwan.After finishing the phone call with Sheng Xia that night, the other party sent a demo after hanging up.Originally, Shi Ye was still at the banquet, and it was time to go back and continue greeting, but he still finished listening to the song in a secluded place.

It sounds nice, like a black hole, and a little hallucinogenic.

Shi Ye returned to the wine table in a trance, and the tattoo artist sitting next to him suddenly pointed to the tattoo on Shi Ye's ring finger while eating and said, "Master Shi, why don't you come to my shop later? Do you make up for color?"

He was quiet for a while before replying: "I don't want to mend it anymore, I just wait for someone to wear a ring to cover it up. Otherwise...you can make me a new one?"

When tattooing that pattern, Shi Ye had been listening to the song sent by Sheng Xia.He didn't let the tattoo artist use anesthesia, feeling the sting while holding the phone in the other hand, and he probably finished writing the song.

This tattoo is actually a preparation for the next trip.Shi Ye didn't know what Sheng Xia was thinking, maybe at a certain moment when they didn't know, their souls trembled and they received a message from the same channel.Together, they will face the most important moment of their careers so far, and take another path that others may not understand.For Shi Ye, it was a turning point when he was full of glory and let go gently.

Shi Ye lightly touched the still red tattoo on Sheng Xia's waist.

"If these two tattoos are photographed, we don't have to clarify any discord." Sheng Xia smiled, "It's a tacit understanding, brother."

"When I got the photo, I said the tattoo was a band, and it has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Xia lightly touched the floral midsummer with his fingertips, and said softly, "My tattoo is not the band, it's you. This logo actually depicts you." He paused, then said, "It's also me."

Shi Ye looked at Sheng Xia and suddenly smiled: "Suddenly thought of a beautiful word."

"I also have a beautiful sentence." Sheng Xia unbuttoned Shi Ye's remaining buttons, lowered her head to kiss the tattoo, "I looked at your heart, and I saw a sun."

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I can't hold back the arguing. Zhou Wei, who was driving in the front seat, still heard a few gasps amid the loud rock music, and then Shi Ye's voice came and said: "Zhou Wei, Please stop, you go down and smoke a cigarette."

Zhou Wei stopped talking in the front seat for the rest of the day, and reminded him once before getting out of the car: "Teacher Shi Ye, we are going to be there at one o'clock."

No one paid any attention to him, so Zhou Wei could only get out of the car silently.

After eating, they went to the conference site.

After the band documentary aired, the response was very good.On the day Shi Ye and Sheng Xia returned to Beijing, the official promotional video of the tour was broadcast. After a period of discussion, the official concept conference was held today.

Niu Xiaojun picked them up at the door, and after receiving them, he non-stop urged Shiye to change clothes, and let Shengxia go over the process.It's not as formal as a celebrity press conference, but the people present are all people from the music media, and it's a courtesy if you don't come.

What Gao Ce said, giving everyone a satisfactory answer is a result of marketizing this somewhat utopian tour model.

The theme of this tour is 'Aviator Embraces You - 666 Wishes of the World'

In fact, Shi Ye complained many times that the name of this theme looks so earthy, but since everyone agreed that it was very simple, Shi Ye could only accept it with a dull heart.

The company's final decision is to complete the tour in a relay manner.The largest themed tour will be held in 666 cities across the country, and it will be organized jointly with the cultural communication department.As the first baton of the relay, the pilots spread out along the railway line with the heart of Beijing as the center, and toured to 666 cities across the country.The venue will be jointly selected by the cultural department and the company. The venue may be open-air, in a movie theater, in a youth cultural center, or in a small livehouse...

What's more special is that in order to reduce the pressure on the band, Haydn Music Records publicly recruited bands to carry out this project together, and welcomes bands of different types and ages from all over the country to sign up and join the pilots for this tour.For example, in Chongqing, Haydn Records welcomes local local bands and pilots to tour together. All the itineraries are transparent and open. Participating bands can contact the company at any time, whether they are famous or unknown bands, just contact , send the work over, and after being reviewed by a professional team, you will have the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the pilot.

All proceeds from the performance will be donated to charity.

But in fact, Gao Ce confessed to them: "I am still a businessman after all. Although this tour seems unprofitable, I am sure the band and the company will gain more added value. If it goes well, those who will Bring more commercial value to your future. I think this model is feasible.”

Shi Ye agreed.In order to compromise with the company, he agreed to be a special guest on a talk show, and Shengxia also accepted several brand advertisements.In the process of gradually making peace with himself, Shi Ye also began to slowly learn to forgive idiots and learn to be soft to reality.

The promotional video had only been released for less than half an hour that day, and it had already been retweeted 666 times.All the marketing accounts inside and outside the circle are reposting, and the fans are blown up. They are all surprised why "Color" won the best arrangement award. When the momentum is just right, they make such a show that looks like a joke. , but it is a very meaningful tour plan when you think about it carefully.A well-spoken media person commented when reposting: Shi Ye returned after four years of silence, first made a romantic album full of humanistic meaning, and now it will set off a revolution soon.Look, he's going to turn those [-] cities into a carnival of music.The transition was unexpected, I respect.

Shi Ye insisted that Niu Xiaojun reserve a seat for Xie Hong's cat named Mi La at the scene, and that someone would take care of it beside him.

Zhong Zheng and Xiao Xiang were already waiting in the background.Gao Ce is still dressed casually today, he doesn't look like a boss, he is still too ordinary.Niu Xiaojun was discussing the details with the host, and came over when he saw Shi Ye's appearance, and began to talk about the process.

After the start, the four members of the band sat next to the screen and listened to the host's chattering introduction.The documentary about the pilot was playing later, Sheng Xia looked at Shi Ye's face in the screen, and felt a feeling of power filling his whole body after a long absence.

Gao Ce was most worried about the questioning session.Originally, he wanted Sheng Xia to accept questions. After all, the media was much more tolerant of him. Sheng Xia was better at speaking than Shi Ye, and his brain circuits often made others laugh. Everyone liked interviewing Sheng Xia.

As a result, in the question and answer session, the first question was: "I want to ask the band, isn't this tour plan afraid of being called a show?"

Shi Ye was already agitated by the flashing light, he glanced at the middle-aged man who asked the question, and raised his eyebrows to stand up.

Gao Ce's heart tightened as he watched from the audience, but Sheng Xia jumped up first, picked up the microphone and stood in the center of the stage.

"We know that many people think this way, but the original intention of doing this is also very simple, that is, everyone wants to go out and see, walk around."

Sheng Xia smiled, "You may not know that I'm from a small place. I've been in Beijing all these years, and I'm still not very used to the rhythm of Beijing. If it wasn't for music, because I like it, I wouldn't be able to come to Beijing. Now I’m a bit tired of staying here, so I want to go to other places to see. We all regard this tour as a special trip, so it’s a bit unreasonable to do a show or something... Sigh, reporter friend, interview I'm fine, shoot me, I'm the spokesperson today, don't keep staring at our guitarist, he's not feeling well today."

Shi Ye looked in his pocket expressionlessly on the side, and sure enough, he found a bag of plums that Sheng Xia stuffed into his pocket at some point.He didn't bother to look down the stage, so he took apart the plums, and on the stage, the old god started to eat the plums.

The media asked a lot of impolite questions one after another, and Sheng Xia kept answering them in a good-tempered manner.The atmosphere gradually became better until Shi Ye ate the eighth one.

"Is the pilot positioning himself as an artist or a band?" asked an older man, "Actually, in our opinion, the topic of band members has far exceeded the popularity of the work itself. Including this tour , what we see is also strong financial support, and it is also biased towards the nature of performing arts... Does Pilot have ambitions to broaden the band model and inject new vitality into the music market? On the Asian list last month, the song "Color" The topic of the album has far surpassed..."

In fact, the other party's tone was very objective and polite, but he also gave some examples of singers after speaking.He was fine at first, but when he heard a few people whose names Shi Ye had never heard of, he asked Xiao Xiang next to him, "Who are they?"

Xiao wanted to whisper back to him: "It's the kind you didn't like before."

Shi Ye finally couldn't sit still, and he was very, very concerned about this.

How do you define a pilot?People inside and outside the circle may feel that this band is very embarrassing.They came from underground, but under the operation of the company, they have released albums that sold off the charts and won countless awards. You can say that they are stars. All make their entertainment more and more powerful.

Some people say that they are an idol group, not a rock band. Their songs in the later period have been catering to the mainstream market, and they have become more and more popular. They are already in the money jar and cannot write good works.Everyone seems to agree that it is wrong for you to fit the market as a pilot. If you shoot so many advertisements and do so many things, you are neither fish nor fowl.The band market at home and abroad is not the same, and some things are too difficult to change.

Shi Ye has a clear conscience and has been doing what he likes. He hated being in variety shows to shoot commercials. He just wanted to sing and play the piano quietly. It's just that the company depends on them to make money. Who doesn't like money?There are many things that he can't just say he doesn't want to do.When the band was pushed farther and farther, many things got out of control. When Shi Ye examined himself, he gradually saw this.

He is not a qualified public figure, he is just a qualified musician.Nothing is as convincing as a work. If too many irrelevant things invade his life, it will really violate the original intention.

Shi Ye spat out the fruit core in his mouth, stood beside Sheng Xia, and motioned him to go back.

He folded his hands, looked at the media person, and asked, "Do you know the difference between us and the people you mentioned?"

The opponent shook his head.

Shi Ye chuckled lightly with the microphone: "The difference is that our works will be remembered and will be forever remembered by some people. And the songs you used as examples to me need to be charted, reviewed and operated, but we No. I never said I'm a star, I'm just a guitar player, you gave me the label of a star, and I've always been annoyed by it. Just listen to the music, what's the whole thing? I'm taking Does this face eat? I am a craftsman."

There was a silence in the audience, and then there was a burst of knowing laughter.

Seeing Shi Ye's side face gently playing with the microphone, Sheng Xia also smiled.

The media person who asked the question has always been very polite, and even made a joke when he heard the words: "Even if our Master Shi doesn't play the guitar, he will debut as a star when he debuts."

Shi Ye rolled up his sleeves before answering, "I'm really annoyed at what you call me, am I that old? It sounds like the leader of some organization."

Everyone in the audience was a little surprised that Shi Ye would joke around.Before the man put down the microphone, he said one last thing, "I'm used to it."

Shi Ye shrugged, his expression still calm: "Bad habits need to be changed."

Originally, everyone wanted to ask Shi Ye more, but when they really walked to the middle of the stage with their hands folded, they were silent for a long time and no one dared to stand up and ask.

Shi Ye waited a little impatiently.He stood idly, his black shirt and black overcoat set off his stern complexion, and he felt indifferent and indifferent.

The picture is more pleasing to the eye, Sheng Xia is very happy watching from the side, smiled and thought to Xiao: "How can there be such a handsome man as Teacher Shi Ye in this world?"

Xiao wanted to give him a supercilious look: "...I think you're a little bit obsessed, you're so obsessed."

Sheng Xia nodded his head of blue hair, and still smiled happily: "Yes, the color makes you dizzy."

After waiting for a long time, a musician who was a little familiar with Shi Ye stood up and asked, "Shi Ye, when you say you're recruiting a band, aren't you afraid that no one will come? If you're the only band, run 666 In this city, you may have gray hair like me in two years."

After Shi Ye listened, he held the microphone and thought for a while.

He finally said, still with contempt in his tone: "So what? Whether love comes or not. The pilot should fly to another place to see, this is my ideal. I use my future to do this, it is A fresh start for me on this path, and I don't care if any bands agree or even what you guys think."

Shi Ye paused after speaking, and beckoned to the fat orange cat who was looking at him beside Zhou Wei in the first row.

Mi Layou especially listened to Shi Ye's words.It was held back by Zhou Wei on the seat for a long time. When Shi Ye greeted him, he immediately raised his fat body and rushed up to the stage in a few steps.

The media in the audience was silent for a while, very surprised that a cat came out of nowhere.

Shi Ye squatted down and picked up Xiaomi La.After stroking two cats, his brows relaxed a bit, and he took the microphone and asked casually: "Will our 666 wishes come true?"

No one had time to respond to him, because Shi Ye brought the microphone to Xiaomi's mouth.Everyone felt a little cute in this weird and confusing atmosphere, after all, it was a serious occasion...

Then they heard the cat open its mouth and speak into the microphone: "Meow——"...

Shi Ye nodded approvingly, and finally said to the bewildered crowd below the stage: "You heard it. It said it, and it will come true."
