NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56 The showman is miserable and wonderful!
Off stage.
Su Yuntang and Jiang Shuo were having a lively chat, talking about the creations of young artists these days, especially how weird the songs written by trainees in the same category as Gu Huaian were...
He didn't pay attention to Gu Huaian on the stage at all.
They even laughed regardless of others.
It’s not that they don’t respect others, they just burst out laughing when they got excited and couldn’t control themselves. When they found others looking at them, they would raise their hands to make a “sorry” gesture.
Quite qualified.
But who knows...
As soon as they made the "sorry" gesture, they suddenly heard Gu Huaian singing from the speakers:
"Hypocritical people have thousands of ways to laugh."
Just at that moment!
"..."
The smiles on their faces immediately froze!
How does it feel...
Gu Huaian’s lyrics...
Are they the ones singing? !
What the hell!
then……
Their expressions were wonderful.
"puff……"
The goddess Xilin who was sitting nearby couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Not only her, but some of the audience, including Shang Zhuoyan, Pei Jingshu, and many viewers watching the show, couldn't help laughing at this moment.
perhaps.
Many people did not pay attention to Gu Huaian.
But they actually heard the laughter of Su Yuntang and Jiang Shuo.
It's true that they didn't pay much attention to Gu Huaian, but at least they would respect Gu Huaian, and at least they wouldn't whisper too loudly.
These two laughed out loud, which would make people feel a little disrespectful...
Of course, no one would say this openly. After all, those two are top-notch Jiang Shuo and actor Su Yuntang. Even if they don't respect Gu Huaian, an amateur, so what?
This is just a normal phenomenon, this world is just like the law of the jungle.
But the problem is, when everyone's attention was first attracted to Su Yuntang and Jiang Shuo, and when they felt that they were disrespectful...
Gu Huaian said directly, "Hypocritical people have thousands of ways to laugh"!
At that time...
"puff……"
Many people really almost couldn't hold back!
Isn’t this a curse?
The barrage is now going viral:
"No, is this a coincidence?"
"Gu Huaian, you idiot, are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?"
"The problem is that it doesn't sound inconsistent. It must be just a coincidence, right?"
"Hahaha... I'm laughing so hard. This guy is quite talented. Jiang Shuo and Su Yuntang looked dumbfounded, hahaha..."
…
indeed.
At this moment, Su Yuntang and Jiang Shuo looked very embarrassed. They never expected that they would be laughed at by Gu Huaian in the song.
Still in front of so many people.
The key to the problem is that they can't get angry, break their defenses, or refute!
First of all, they are the ones who are disrespectful, and they are the ones who laugh out loud.
Secondly, regardless of whether Gu Huaian changed the lyrics on the spur of the moment, the song was being sung in the middle of the song, and they just killed themselves for not changing the lyrics on the spur of the moment. It was really not intentional, so what could they do?
Therefore, the two of them suffered a complete loss because they were dumb. They couldn't express their sufferings because they were eating Coptis chinensis.
They really didn't expect that they would be tricked by Gu Huaian when Gu Huaian was performing...
"Creak..."
Jiang Shuo was okay, but Queen Su’s molar teeth were almost broken.
Because when Gu Huaian sang those lyrics just now, Xilin glanced at him and smiled.
That smile, like a mockery, deeply stimulated Su's young mind.
"Giggle..."
Shang Zhuoyan held Pei Jingshu's arm with a "Hello sisters" look, smiled like a silver bell, and said:
"Gu Huaian has a lot of trouble."
She didn't pay much attention to Gu Huaian's song, but she was really amused by what Gu Huaian said just now, "Hypocritical people have thousands of ways to laugh."
Why is it stuck at such a perfect spot!
The cold fair-skinned beauty Pei Jing Shuyu lightly covered her red lips with her hands and smiled slightly. She didn't say anything, but glanced at Gu Huaian on the stage.
This guy is indeed a straight man, but he doesn't seem to be a bloodless wimp.
Normally, he is casual and restrained, does not argue with others, ignore others' belittling, and looks indifferent to everything.
At this time, he was too lazy to notice because he was rich and wealthy, and he didn't dare to face injustice.
At this moment, Gu Huaian was the most charming in Pei Jingshu's eyes.
Some are funny and some are satirical.
Originally, some people might not even know what Gu Huaian sang, but because of the laughter of Jiang Shuo and Su Yuntang, their attention was attracted.
Then Gu Huaian's words "Hypocritical people have thousands of ways to laugh" came out, and they focused on Gu Huaian's singing.
They paid attention to Gu Huaian because of the ridicule.
Gu Huaian, who was sitting on a high chair in the center of the stage, had no expression on his face.
He was holding the guitar and still playing the gentle melody.
The sounds of box piano, electric keyboard, bass, and drums gradually invaded everyone's ears.
Gu Huaian sang:
…
"Under the gray brim..."
"Sunken cheeks."
"You rarely speak and give simple answers..."
"Where will you be tomorrow, who will care about you..."
"Even if you die on the road."
…
The song "A Diao" was obtained from the system. Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that it was written by Gu Huaian himself.
To be honest, he didn't know who the song "A Diao" was originally written about, but the song resonated with him very much.
As the lyrics say, Gu Huaian has always said very little. When people talk to him, his answers are often simple, because he knows very well that no matter how much he talks, no one will care about him, whether it is on this show or elsewhere. He has always seemed transparent.
This has nothing to do with personality, it may just be that you are not popular and no one treats you as a piece of cake.
It just so happened that tonight he was wearing a gray peaked cap.
"..."
The scene gradually became quiet.
Maybe some people subconsciously feel that starting with these lines, Gu Huaian's song becomes a little catchy.
That's what most musicians call...recognition? Highlight?
Music these days pays attention to a memory point. Some songs are like me meowing and meowing together. The crazy memory point attack makes you automatically repeat it in your mind after listening to it once, and you can't forget it even if you want to forget it.
There are also some songs with ridiculously fast tempos. I wish I could just repeat the chorus to you three or five times so that you can remember the song quickly.
Such works have no connotation or profound meaning, let alone any theme. They are praised by people who call them garbage, and they quickly disappear after being popular for a while.
But the key to the problem is that as long as they are catchy, recognizable, bright, and memorable, then these songs will have traffic, popularity, and people will listen to them!
Then those musicians who write this kind of garbage will get money and a living!
This leads to more and more garbage like this!
Some people always wonder why there are no such good works in this era as before?
Is it because people who write songs have become trash?
No……
It’s because people who listen to music have become rubbish!
In the past few years of male and female group auditions, the fandom culture has become increasingly powerful. The bad songs that the idols of male and female groups shout out and shout about are embarrassing and can be thrown abroad, but they can be at the top of the new songs and hot song lists of major domestic music apps!
However, good works are squeezed out by this bunch of rubbish and have no living space, and even worse, they can't even eat.
What did previous listeners listen to?
Listen to the melody, read the lyrics, and taste the connotation.
What do listeners listen to today?
You have to give me some recognition within half a minute to keep me, otherwise you will cut the next song immediately!
Their pace is so fast!
They couldn't tolerate any foreshadowing and just wanted to get it over with quickly.
Even if the quality of Gu Huaian's "A Diao" is not bad, the one who really appreciates the flavor of this song is the actor Su Yuntang.
How ironic!
Inner fish, if this continues, it will be a pill.
At this moment, the actor Su stared blankly at Gu Huaian. To be honest, he really felt that Gu Huaian's song was connotative, deep and meaningful now that he heard it.
It's definitely better than those crappy songs on the street, and it's not just average as Jiang Shuo said. It's definitely better than the crappy song that Jiang Shuo just made for no reason.
But he was very depressed. Could such a work really be written by a newcomer like Gu Huaian?
This kid... hides his secrets, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger?
The rest of the people were also deeply impressed, and for a moment, they all looked towards Gu Huaian again.
Only this time, Gu Huaian did not benefit from Zhuo Yan's favor, but relied solely on himself.
…
"A Diao..."
"Can I have a full meal tomorrow?"
"You get used to it. Hunger is a religion."
…
Gu Huaian said that this song was written about himself.
indeed.
The life of being a trainee is very hard. Not every company's trainee's basic salary is very high. Gu Huaian's company's trainee salary is more than 3,000 yuan.
Three thousand, even if you work as a waiter outside, your salary is more than three thousand. This amount of money is not necessarily enough to spend in Kyoto and Shanghai, where land is at a premium, even in ordinary third- and fourth-tier cities.
The key is that this small amount of money also covers your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Artists need to take care of themselves. Image management costs a lot of money.
(It’s no exaggeration, three thousand is considered too much.)
Therefore, during the two and a half years as a trainee, Gu Huaian's life was not good, and he was even a little embarrassed. Sometimes he had to go to a friend's bar to sing and make some extra money.
Sometimes the end of the month has not come yet for wages, the bar is full of people, the money has been spent, and I am too embarrassed to take care of my family, so I am afraid that my family will worry. Although it will not mean that I will not be able to eat a full meal, the psychological torture is the most grueling. For humans, that feeling is almost the same as not being able to have a full meal.
Some people say that Gu Huaian's village spirit is a result of acting, but this is not true. He has never lived the kind of life where a big star spends tens of millions on luxury goods.
At most, I have fantasized about it.
…
"A Diao..."
"The edges will not be smoothed by reality!"
"You are not from this world..."
"There's no need to care about the truth."
…
In fact, to be honest, Gu Huaian didn't know how he had managed to survive the past few years.
When I first entered this industry, I had a very good idea. I wanted to be a trainee and survive for a few years. After a few years, I would show up in the draft and perform well. I didn’t want to be a super first-tier player, but just a third- or fourth-tier player. Just be an artist.
You can make a lot of money as an artist!
Even if you are a small third- or fourth-tier artist, you can start with a few hundred thousand for any announcement.
If you have a work that you can go offline to perform at commercials, music festivals, etc., you can make money in a few years that others cannot make in a lifetime.
Even if you become obsolete by then, the worst case scenario is that you will quit the industry and do something else. Anyway, you will earn almost enough as an artist, and the remaining money will be enough to throw into the bank and earn interest.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
The reality is that the men's and women's teams were collectively killed in the draft, and the bright future that Gu Huaian imagined turned into a bubble and disappeared into nothing.
After two and a half years of hard work without any announcement, no one knows where they will find a way out for remnants of the past era in the entertainment industry.
They have been eliminated and abandoned by the entertainment industry.
People around me have terminated their contracts and left one after another, and fewer and fewer people have refused to give up. The original edges and corners have gradually been smoothed away by the cruel reality.
If there was no system, this job would probably be Gu Huaian's only and last appearance in this circle, and that would be the end of it.
Precisely because these things are Gu Huaian's personal experience, it will be very touching to sing this song from his perspective.
In fact, whether it is writing, singing, performing or anything else, you must try your best to use your own personal experience to interpret it, otherwise what you present to everyone in the end will always be lacking in something.
Maybe a soul?
Or maybe it's the taste.
Anyway, that's pretty much it.
It is precisely because Gu Huaian has the experience and experience that matches this song, so when he sang this song "A Diao", even if no one knew his past, the appeal of the scene deeply attracted everyone. one person.
