Chapter 337 That smile is warm and strong

In the CCTV No. [-] studio hall, it was quiet for several seconds before applause broke out.

Many participating singers looked at me and I looked at you, all of whom couldn't believe it, with complicated emotions.

Their generation is really a thing of the past. Even Xie Yan, the big brother in the mainland music scene, has not been able to hold the ring.

"Hey, it's the young people's world now." An older singer looked at the broadcast screen in the lounge and sighed.

Long Yelin also looked serious.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the young people in this crop are amazing.

He also failed to defend the ring today, and was taken away by Li Chengxun as the king of singers, but no matter what Li Chengxun said, he was also a generation of heavenly kings, and he would not be ashamed to lose.

But on the other hand, He Xiao is a bit powerful, even Xie Yan was dragged off his horse by him, who would dare to underestimate him?
In art, age is never the key.

The master is a teacher, and He Xiao proved that he has the qualifications to stand on this stage with his strength. Everyone applauded for a song "Song of a Hero", worthy of the word "King of Songs"!

"we won?"

"Really us?"

In the lounge, Xu Yuan and others from Xingyage rubbed their eyes in disbelief at this moment, then jumped up and danced excitedly.

They really won and won the title of singer in this issue, it was like a dream.

The lights of the indoor camera flickered, recording Xu Yuan's heartfelt smiles, which can be inserted into the feature film during post-editing.

At the front desk, He Xiao on the stage was also absent-minded for a while.

Just now when Liao Yuqing was about to announce the results, his heart was beating so hard that it was almost in his throat.

After all, what he is challenging is a well-deserved big brother figure in the mainland music scene. Facing such an existence, who can keep calm?

tension.

stimulate.

Adrenaline is secreted all the time.

It wasn't until the results were announced at this time that the tension gradually disappeared and was washed away by joy.

"Congratulations to He Xiao, you won the song king of this issue, is there anything you want to tell everyone?"

Liao Yuqing looked at him cheerfully, the more he looked the more pleasing to the eye.

Ever since he met He Xiao, this kid has given him too many surprises.

First, he sang "Because of Love" in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, showing his solid singing skills, and then played a wonderful game with the couplet master Mr. Tao at a party in the literary circle, and his literary attainments are bottomless.

Now he participated in "Singer" again, and competed with a group of old-timers in the music industry on the same stage. In the first episode, he was second, and in this episode, he rushed to the first place and won the singer king.

Such a strength, such an achievement, you can't find a second among the younger generation in the entire entertainment industry!

As long as he doesn't die young, he will be a monster again in a few years.

The camera was on He Xiao at this time, and he stepped forward with neither humbleness nor overbearing, and said in an eloquent voice: "To get the song king of this issue, first of all, I must thank Senior Xie Yan for his mercy."

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Yan.

Of course the other party didn't show mercy. He said this just to give the other party a step down, and at the same time, he could show that he was sensible and not arrogant.

Xie Yan smiled, knowing He Xiao's intentions, so he didn't say anything.

He Xiao continued: "Secondly, I would like to thank all the listeners and friends, thank you for being willing to listen to my songs, and thank you for the stage of "Singer" for giving me a chance to perform!"

"Thank you very much!"

Finally, He Xiao bowed.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

So far, the second phase of CCTV's "Singer" has officially finished recording.

The two groups of contestants ended with Li Chengxun and He Xiao winning the new song king respectively.

As for the other players, their rankings have also changed slightly compared to previous periods.

Some people plummeted, such as Yang Lan, who fell directly from fourth to seventh.

There were also people who counterattacked with their grades, and their scores improved a lot compared to the previous period.

For example, Jiao Minghui, the No.8 singer in the group, actually won the fifth place this time, advancing three places.

But no matter what, generally speaking, everyone is still under pressure.

Because the next round of competition is a little different from the previous two rounds.

The next round is the last round of the group stage, after which there will be a re-drawing, the order will be disrupted, maybe Long Yelin from the first group will go to the second group, and Xie Yan from the second group will go to the first group.

In short, after the reshuffle, the situation of the entire game has changed greatly.

Moreover, the comprehensive score of the players will be counted every three rounds, and those with the lowest ranking will be eliminated in advance, and a replacement player will be added to replace them.

So the score in the next episode is very important. If the ranking is too low and the performance in the first two episodes is not good, it is very likely that they will be removed from the stage of "Singer".

It can be said that after the end of the second period, everyone was full of pressure, thinking about how to perform in the third period and which song to sing to keep the spot.

……

After ten o'clock in the evening.

The CCTV building has been empty.

The director's group prepared a dinner, and invited the sixteen singers present, as well as the leaders of the group, to the hotel for dinner.

Among them, several singers had to catch a plane, but they didn't make it. Only nine singers were actually present.

He Xiao performed two performances today. He was quite tired at first, and wanted to go home directly to wash and sleep, but he couldn't stand the kind invitation of Liao Yuqing, Ding Liang and others, so he had to drive along with him.

The restaurant was located near the CCTV building, and they were full of gourmet food all the way down the street, but what they ate was small hot pot, the one for each person.

It is quite a large private room, with two tables in total, and NO.15 people are seated densely.

"Brother Xie, don't look at your phone, let's go together." A famous CCTV director raised his glass and said to Xie Yan who was squinting and playing with his phone.

Hearing this, Xie Yan had no choice but to put down the phone, and explained with a smile: "Hi, my daughter sent me a message asking me when I'll be home today, I'll reply, otherwise the two of them should be worried."

This big brother in the music industry has devoted half of his life to the music industry, so he got married late and started a family in his [-]s, so don't look at him now who is almost [-] and his daughter has just started high school.

His family is in the capital, and he should have gone home early today, but whoever thought that CCTV had organized a dinner, so he had to send a message to his family to report.

After the director heard it, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Brother Xie is not only a good singer, but also a person. I'll drink it first as a respect."

He shook his thumb, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then took out the big green stick under his feet and gurgled down a glass. Seeing the helpless smile, Xie Yan had no choice but to follow along.

As soon as the two started drinking, the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became lively.

"I can't sing anymore, it's the young people's world now." Xie Yan put down his finished wine glass, sighed, and shook his head with emotion.

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious. Everyone turned their attention to He Xiao, the only young man on the wine table.

Yes, He Xiao is too young, many people at the table are from his father's generation.

Even Tang Ming, who is the youngest, is a round older than him, and he is not of the same era as him.

He Xiao hadn't spoken at the wine table before, because the generation gap was too big, and everyone didn't know how to communicate with this young singer who was about the same age as his son, so He Xiao was very deserted just now, and there was only one next to him Yang Lan, who was sitting, said a few words from time to time.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him now, many of whom were heavenly kings and queens, and became the focus of the table, He Xiao suddenly became a little shy.

Fortunately, he has worked hard in the past few years and has developed some skills. On the surface, he is still calm and calm, with a straight figure and a good manner, not making a fool of himself.

On the contrary, it made everyone secretly look up to him.

It seems that this young man is not only strong on the stage, but also has the demeanor of a big event in private, able to hold his breath.

"Senior Xie, you are too modest. Compared with you, I am far worse than you. If you hadn't been merciful, I would have lost." He Xiao picked up his wine glass and toasted Xie Yan.

"Haha, you bastard, you are slick." Xie Yan laughed, and clinked glasses with He Xiao, and He Xiao deliberately lowered his own glass.

The two of them drank a glass of wine, and the feeling of unfamiliarity was reduced a lot, and they chatted quite comfortably, during which they discussed a lot about the sharing of music creation.

At the other table, Li Chengxun looked this way twice, seeing He Xiao chatting happily with Xie Yan, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't come to make trouble, he just ate on his own.

Among the people present, except for Ding Liang and Ye Hongyan, no one knew about the grievances between He Xiao and Li Chengxun.

Li Chengxun didn't point it out, looking for that discomfort, but he didn't get in touch with He Xiao, but he secretly fought for the front. Whenever he had a chance, he would definitely not give He Xiao a chance.

He Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to Li Chengxun's thoughts, and concentrated on making good friends with these old-timers in the music industry. These network resources are incalculable wealth, and they will definitely be good for walking in the music industry in the future.

When recording the program before, he wanted to get acquainted with these seniors, but the CCTV lounge was so intimidating, one contestant was in one room, and there was no chance to communicate with each other at all.

Now on the wine table, after two or three glasses of wine, it's easy to talk about everything, and they left business cards and phone calls with each other.

Among them, He Xiao felt that Xie Yan, Zong Shaohong, and Yang Lan should be the three most worthy of friendship, apart from Ye Hongyan and Ding Liang, who he had known in the morning.

They are all serious about making music, nothing too fancy.

As for the others, they are not so good. They are more or less immersed in their former glory, enjoying the luxury of the entertainment industry, and their pursuit of music is not as pure as before.

The same is true for Long Yelin, this fellow is too elegant, like a jade-faced scholar, he can't see through, always feels that the city is very deep, and he is not a good stubble.

He Xiao blushed from drinking on the surface, but he was actually very sober, seeing these people clearly.

The banquet lasted until after twelve o'clock in the evening.

Everyone drank too much and helped each other to go out.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate of the hotel, the cold wind blew in with snowflakes, and everyone immediately felt refreshed.

"Then Director Liao, let's go first."

The two contestants in one group said shoulder to shoulder, they are a group that swept the Mainland ten years ago and won many honors.

"Success, tell the driver to drive slowly. Also, our next recording is three days later, don't forget." Liao Yuqing waved to them and said.

Almost every singer present had a special car and a driver to drive them back to the hotel or home. Only He Xiao was different. He put a sledgehammer home for the New Year, and usually drove himself to record shows.

But today, he drank alcohol and was not suitable for driving. When everyone left in a hurry, he looked at his Mercedes-Benz GLC and felt worried.

Do you want to call a driver?

Or throw the car away and take a taxi back?
When He Xiao was thinking about what to do, Yang Lan, who hadn't left yet, glanced over and asked, "Xiao He, do you need my help?"

"Ah?" He Xiao was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "No need for Sister Yang Lan, I will call a substitute driver and go back. Now that the technology is so advanced, it is also convenient."

"Farewell, you are a big star, it is not appropriate to call a driver in the middle of the night, if you trust me, I will take you back." Yang Lan smiled, took the key from He Xiao directly, and signaled He Xiao to get on the car.

"This... okay." He Xiao was stunned, and finally had no choice but to nod.

The white GLC started, and after warming up for a while, I stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the direction of He Xiao Community.

"Don't look at my sister as a female driver, this skill is still possible."

Yang Lan skillfully manipulated the gears of the Mercedes-Benz, whether it was braking or steering, she joked with a smile.

"Sister Lan usually drives by herself?"

He Xiao glanced sideways at Yang Lan. People in their 40s are as well maintained as those in their early thirties. The skin is so delicate that no wrinkles can be seen.

Could this be the legendary reverse growth?
Seeing Yang Lan laughing at this moment: "When I was young, I ran a taxi. Do you think my skills are not good?"

"Ah? Running for a taxi?" He Xiao was taken aback.

He never imagined that this once popular singer would have such down-to-earth work experience.

At this time, after careful recollection, it just occurred to me that Yang Lan's debut was indeed very late, and she seemed to become famous only in her late thirties, so she must have done a lot of other jobs before that.

"Hey, when my sister was young, I did everything, restaurant waiter, taxi driver, anyway, as long as it is a job that can make money, I will do it." There are traffic lights in front, and she stepped on the brake, Yang Lan recalled road:
"Don't laugh at me. At that time, something happened at home, and my father was sick. If I don't resist, no one will be able to resist."

Yang Lan spoke plainly in a few words, but He Xiao could hear the bitter story inside.

A generation of queens, a former celebrity in the music scene, had such an unimaginable experience back then, which was no different from the vast majority of sentient beings.

No need for Yang Lan to say much, He Xiao can imagine how hopeless Yang Lan's life was at that time.

She was originally a lady, but her family was in trouble, her father was sick, and in order to raise money for medical treatment, she had to drop out of school to work... How much pressure did she bear?
He Xiao knew that those days must have been bitter.

"So, sometimes I really envy your generation. The conditions are good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you can sing well. You must work hard." Yang Lan shifted gears and parked the car in He Xiao. At the gate of the residential complex, he smiled while unfastening his seat belt.

That smile, strong and warm.
