This top guy is crazy!

After the song list and invitation list were submitted for review, Cheng Cheng started producing songs before waiting for a reply from above.

Cheng Cheng:

Which song should I make first?

-

Xu Lin had just finished participating in a variety show, where she sang a song with a young idol who was highly praised by capital.

After the variety show, sitting in the nanny car, she felt both physically and mentally exhausted.

She has very good resources now, and music variety shows are all vying for her, especially since she performed on the Spring Festival Gala this year. This is her second consecutive year on the Gala, which shows her status in the Chinese music scene.

But how to say it.

Xu Lin feels that there is very no challenge now.

She was a little bored.

When she was knocked from the peak to the quagmire, she was thinking about making a comeback and taking back everything she had lost.

But when she became really popular and got everything, she couldn't find her goal.

Looking around, it's all the same vulgarity, which doesn't arouse any interest at all.

Especially this year's Spring Festival Gala, Xu Lin really felt that it was a waste of time to attend the Gala.

Participating in the Spring Festival Gala was largely about completing a task, requiring her to sing songs she had sung thousands of times again like a CD, without giving her any room for free expression.

And there really isn't anything worth noting after this year's release.

Not to mention the wonderful programs, there aren't even any popular memes.

There were a few last year.

For example, xxx, for example, xxxxx
Nowadays, the Spring Festival Gala has less and less influence on certain stars and singers, because many people cannot watch the entire Gala, or even just pick and choose, not to mention such a long list of singers/stars for the Gala.

I guess the people who care most about which star appears on the Spring Festival Gala are the Gala officials and the stars themselves.

After receiving the program invitation from her agent, Xu Lin took a look at it, showing some vague interest, and asked:

“Do I have to choose one?”

The agent said:

"'A Journey to the East' is a very popular travel variety show. It follows the story of the real and fake monks going to Japan to spread Buddhism. In the last episode, several celebrities became famous, such as"

"Hello, Friend is planned by Xiangjiang Satellite TV's ace variety show director Ge Sheng. It is an S-level project of Xiangjiang Satellite TV in the first half of the year. It is a sister program of Hello, Father and Hello, Mother. However, unlike Hello, Father and Hello, Mother, which focus on family affection, Hello, Friend focuses on friendship."

Xu Lin let out a bored sigh.

She is already 38 years old this year, but she still has some charm. Her skin is well maintained, tender and elastic. However, you can vaguely see some traces of time between her eyebrows and eyes. But this trace of time also adds a little charm to her.

In addition, she often does yoga and maintains a good schedule, so her figure is as slim as a girl.

She was wearing a silk shawl that covered her shoulders. She leaned her head against the chair and handed the program invitation back to her agent, saying:
"Let me think about it~"

The agent wanted to persuade him again, but the assistant said:

"Sister Lin, Director Cheng called?"

Xu Lin: "Cheng Cheng?"

The assistant said crisply, "Yes."

Xu Lin's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Give me the phone."

Assistant: “Yes.”

Xu Lin answered the phone and asked, "Cheng Cheng?"

Opposite: "It's me."

Xu Lin: "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Lin knew that Cheng Cheng would not look for her if he had nothing to do, and to be honest, she and Cheng Cheng should have been very familiar with each other, but they were really not familiar with each other.

It is said that they should have been very familiar with each other because Xu Lin participated in "Masked Singer" and was labeled as "eternal runner-up". Later, Cheng Cheng wrote six songs for Xu Lin, "A Diao", "Against the Light", "Period", "Invisible Wings" and "Angel in the Devil".

The reason why they are not really familiar with each other is that although Cheng Cheng is the chief director of "Masked Singer", he has never come to the TV station in his real identity. His "Li Huowang" in a vest is also immersed in acting crazy all day long. During the recording of the program, he and Xu Lin had almost no communication.

Even later, Cheng Cheng wrote songs for Xu Lin.

Cheng Cheng only had a brief exchange with her the first time, and later on he didn't even say anything and just threw an audio file at her.

So on the phone, Xu Lin really didn't know how to communicate with Cheng Cheng.

But fortunately, Cheng Cheng is not the kind of person who would procrastinate.

he asked:
"Have you had any time recently?"

Xu Lin looked at her agent's densely packed invitations to programs and replied, "I have time."

Cheng Cheng said:
"Okay, I'll send you a location. Come over the day after tomorrow afternoon. There's a song I need you to record together. Then, I'll have something else to discuss with you in detail."

Xu Lin said:
"Okay, tomorrow afternoon, right? No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lin saw that her agent seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xu Lin raised her eyebrows and said:

"This is Cheng Cheng's phone number."

The agent said dejectedly: "I know I just..."

It just feels a bit weak.

-

Two days later, Xu Lin appeared under the Myth Building wearing sunglasses. She looked up at the magnificent building with a somewhat emotional look on her face.

A few years ago, this was just an ordinary office building with cheap housing prices, outdated surrounding facilities, and only available for leasing to small businesses. But now, it has been completely transformed and has become a holy place in the hearts of countless fans.

"Friends", "Those Years", and "Resident Evil" were born here.

"The Little Prince", "Journey to the West" and "The Three-Body Problem" were drafted here.

There are also "Who's the Detective", "Love Apartment", "Wulin Waijia", "The Wandering Earth", "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", etc., all of which are inextricably linked to this building, the company represented by this building, and a certain person in this building.

When Xu Lin entered the Myth Building, he saw many inexplicable explanatory signs.

For example, there is an explanation sign next to the elevator:

——This is an elevator, which is a permanent transportation device used to serve several specific floors in a building. Its car runs on at least two rows of rigid tracks that are perpendicular to the horizontal plane or inclined at an angle of less than 15° to the plumb line. Press up and the elevator will go up. Press down and the elevator will go down.

When you walk into the elevator, there is an explanation sign:

——These are Arabic numerals 1 to 7. Pressing the corresponding number will lead you to a certain floor.

——This is the door closing button
——This is the door opening button
——This is the indicator light
Xu Lin became speechless. Aren’t the employees recruited by this company all special people?
When Xu Lin arrived at the 6th floor, she saw Cheng Cheng taking Li Zhuo on a routine inspection of the company. Cheng Cheng was talking in front:
"Green plants need watering. If they are not watered, they will die of thirst. The ceiling is above, and the floor is below. When electricity is used, the switch must be opened. If the switch is not opened, there will be no electricity. People need to go to the toilet. The toilet is a place to go to the toilet."

Li Zhuo was behind, taking notes in a notebook.

Cheng Cheng said: "You don't need to remember these, you don't need to remember this."

Li Zhuo didn't listen, still taking notes seriously. Cheng Cheng saw that he couldn't stop her, so he didn't try to stop her, and continued to utter famous warnings and truths of the world, showing his amazing wisdom: "Shoes are for wearing, but hats can only be worn on the head. The sun is white, but you can't see it if you close your eyes. There is a huge curse in the 21st century. No one born in the 00s has lived to the age of 26."

After each sentence, Cheng Cheng would secretly check to see if Li Zhuo had written it down.

The reason they work so well together is because they have reconciled.

Li Zhuo was no longer angry about Cheng Cheng going to Gaza.

"Eh~"

At this time Cheng Cheng said in surprise:
"Xu Lin, are you here?"

Li Zhuo looked up at Xu Lin, then put away the notebook.

Xu Lin said: "Yes, I am here."

Cheng Cheng said: "Then come with me."

As he said this, he took Xu Lin to a recording studio. But when he was closing the door, a man walked by in the corridor and said, "I am the watch of the company. I am out of power. I need to charge it. I am the watch of the company. I am out of power. I need to charge it."

Cheng Cheng waved and stopped him:
"Stop, I'll charge you."

Then he twisted the man's left ear three times, twisted the man's right ear three times, and finally pulled out a hair from the man, twisted it, poked the man's nostrils, and said, "Okay, it's charged."

The man immediately said: "This is the company's watch, I have power, and the current time is three o'clock in the afternoon."

Having said that, the man walked away.

Cheng Cheng closed the door, turned around and saw Xu Lin's speechless look, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Lin pointed outside: "What was that just now?"

Cheng Cheng answered calmly: "That's the watch in our company." He also asked: "Don't you have watches in your company and at home? Then how do you tell time?"

Xu Lin:

"I've seen watches, but none of them are like this, none of them are human."

Cheng Cheng shook his head, looking somewhat disgusted: "That's too inhumane."

Xu Lin didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore. She felt that there was almost no normal person in this company, only monsters and demons.

She asked bluntly:

"What song do you want me to sing with you?"

Cheng Cheng took the song sheet from the table and handed it to her.

Xu Lin looked at it carefully and saw that the song was called "Let the World Be Full of Love". Judging from the chords, it was a gentle and lyrical song. The lyrics were also very interesting, "Holding your face gently and wiping away your tears", which seemed to express love, but it was more than just love.

While Xu Lin was watching, Cheng Cheng was still mumbling, seemingly dissatisfied with being interrupted on the topic of "watch":

"AI is becoming more and more popular now. It is almost everywhere. We can see AI and machines replacing human jobs everywhere. Why is it wrong to let humans replace AI and machines? You have seen people lose their jobs due to technological advances, but have you seen machines lose their jobs?"

Xu Lin was confused and pretended not to hear it.

But Cheng Cheng became more and more addicted and excited as he talked:
"Also, what's wrong with people nowadays? They make a fuss when they see a human-shaped watch, and they keep exaggerating the role of AI! As if they can replace all of us, but is it possible? Do you know the difference between the rice cooked by an automatic fried rice machine and that cooked by a chef? The soul! It's the soul! Isn't that right, Xu Lin? Are you listening, Xu Lin?"

Xu Lin turned around and looked at him.

If Cheng Cheng hadn't helped her, she would have spit on him.

Xu Lin said:
“AI may replace many people, but it will never replace you.”

In terms of neural aspects, AI will never be able to defeat Cheng Cheng. He is the last moat of mankind.

Cheng Cheng thought Xu Lin was praising him, and he was very happy.

After a while, Xu Lin finally finished reading the music sheet. She asked, "This seems to be a charity song, right? Why did you come up with a charity song?"

Xu Lin is quite satisfied with the quality of this song. The song has a clear structure and concise lyrics. Although the melody is relatively simple, it better reflects the simplicity of simplicity and ingenuity, which is in line with Cheng Cheng's consistent level.

Cheng Cheng said: "You should practice first, the others haven't arrived yet."

Xu Lin: "Are there others?"

Cheng Cheng: "Don't worry, they are all your old friends."

Half an hour later, Xi Xiang arrived.

Seeing Xu Lin, he smiled happily: "You are here too, were you also tricked by Cheng Cheng?"

Xu Lin: "Did you trick me into coming here?"

Xi Xiang: "Before coming here, they just said they were here to sing, but didn't say what song it was. They also said they had something important to discuss, but in the end they didn't say anything. Don't you think this is just a scam?"

Xu Lin nodded: "That's true if you put it that way."

Xi Xiang looked at her with curiosity: "How long have you been here?"

Xu Lin: "I've been here for an hour."

Xi Xiang leaned forward and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Xu Lin shook her head, handed the music sheet in her hand to Xi Xiang, and said, "No, Cheng Cheng just gave me this music sheet and asked me to practice it first."

"A public welfare song?" After a while, Xi Xiang also came to the same conclusion. He was indeed a veteran superstar from the golden age of film islands. He could tell the difference after only watching it once.

Then, he stroked his chin and thought:
"Charity song? Is Cheng Cheng planning to organize a charity event? Ask us to record a song to raise donations? Or shoot a promotional video? It can't be a TV show or variety show, right?"

"He invited you and me, so he must be a big shot. Could he be from CCTV?"

After a while, four or five more singers squeezed into the recording studio: Yu Chun, Yin Shu, Huang Zheng, and Li Baona.

Even Han Shi came.

The small recording studio suddenly became lively.

Xi Xiang was more and more surprised.

What on earth is Cheng Cheng planning to do?
They actually invited half of the singers from the first King of Masked Singer, and even the guest Han Shi was invited.

After a while, Cheng Cheng finally appeared.

But the first thing he did was to lock the door of the recording studio, then he sat down with a smile and said:
"Actually, there is nothing big about inviting you all here. There are only two things. One is that I would like to invite you all to record a song together called "Let the World Be Full of Love". The other is that I am going to hold a concert in Gaza and I hope to invite some of you here to be my guests."

Xi Xiang stood up with a thud, then walked to the door and twisted the handle vigorously, as if to say:
Break the door! Open it for me!
Cheng Cheng said, "Give up. Once the door is locked, it cannot be opened without a key. I often do this when I force myself to practice singing."

Xi Xiang: You’re crazy!

He turned to look at the others, only to find that they were all unusually calm.

Xi Xiang really wanted to ask:
No, didn't you hear what he said?

Go to Gaza!

Let’s hold a concert!
crazy?

Xu Lin looked at Cheng Cheng seriously: "I want to listen carefully."

Li Baona's eyes were filled with restlessness, and she also said:
"I want to listen too!" (End of this chapter)
