Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

After buying the house, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was a big deal worth tens of millions. There was no room for negligence in the process of buying a house, and my nerves were always tense.

The next morning after completing the formalities, Chen Feng was finally able to sleep in. However, just as he was about to sleep until he woke up naturally, the nasty cell phone kept ringing.

It's Xu Tailang.

Chen Feng opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at the phone screen, and connected the phone with great resentment.

"Hey... what's the matter..." Chen Feng said weakly.

Xu Tailang was quite energetic, and he said in an angry voice: "It's okay, I just haven't seen you for a few days, and I want to invite you to a gathering for a meal."

"Oh... let's talk..." Chen Feng hung up the phone directly.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again.

"Hey? Chen Feng, the signal was not good just now? Why was it suddenly disconnected?" Xu Tailang said a little puzzled: "By the way, I recently found a very delicious mutton hot pot restaurant. How about we go to boil the meat together at noon?"

Chen Feng: "...I'm very tired now, I just want to sleep..."

Xu Tailang: "Ah? Chen Feng...you...did you go out last night? You...are you right about An Ruohua, you..."

Chen Feng: "You just went out to have sex, you do it every day, why don't you call it too much... I'm just a little busy recently, I just want to sleep late..."

"Hahaha, why don't you sleep late? What time is it? It's more important to eat delicious food...Well, how about it, I will drive directly to your community to pick you up...Today I treat you, so that's it... "

Crap, Xu Tailang hung up the phone.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling the urge to hit someone.

However, since Xu Tailang was about to come, Chen Feng couldn't really stay in bed, so he got up helplessly and packed up.

"Well, today's Xu Tailang is a bit abnormal, unlike his usual carefree manner... Could it be that he has something to do? Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to invite me to dinner?"

Chen Feng thought while brushing his teeth.

Sure enough, Chen Feng guessed right. At noon, Xu Tailang brought Chen Feng to a mutton hot pot restaurant. After the two of them enjoyed a few plates of mutton, they began to talk about business.

"Actually, there is no other major matter, I just want to ask you to make an appointment for a song." Xu Tailang said after pouring himself a glass of beer.

Chen Feng took a sip of tea slowly, and asked in surprise, "You? Ask me to make an appointment? What do you mean?"

Xu Tailang is a small boss who runs a recording studio, why ask him to ask him to sing?

Xu Tailang shook his head, and said, "It's me, helping others, asking you to make an appointment to sing."

"Oh..." Chen Feng responded, and asked curiously, "Who did you make the appointment for?"

"Lin Shengxue..." Xu Tailang said a name that surprised Chen Feng.

...

Lin Shengxue, a well-known love song queen in the Chinese music scene, made her debut 20 years ago. Relying on her pure appearance and sweet singing voice, she gained a large number of fans and became the pillar of the new generation of young female singers in the music scene.

She has released an album every year for ten consecutive years, and each album must have a popular work. When she was 27 years old, she also won the best female singer representing the highest award in the Chinese music scene. At that time, many people thought that , as long as she can maintain this momentum, she will definitely become the next generation of super queen.

However, unfortunately, at the age of thirty, Lin Shengxue suddenly retired, and for the next five years, she did not appear in the entertainment circle again.

Almost no one knew her whereabouts in the past five years. Gradually, her name was forgotten by the entertainment industry, and her fame was quickly exhausted.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Shengxue would never show up again, three years ago, she quietly made a comeback.

After the comeback,

She still seldom shows up in the entertainment industry, and just maintains the rhythm of releasing one or two new songs every year. However, because she has retired for too long, her new songs are not very popular after her comeback. Except for some super hardcore fans back then, Most people don't buy her anymore.

This is the cruelest part of the entertainment industry.

...

Chen Feng never expected that Xu Tailang was making an appointment to sing for Lin Shengxue.

"You... know Lin Shengxue?" Chen Feng looked curious.

Xu Tailang drank another glass of beer: "I know... Back then, we grew up in the same compound. My father was the conductor of the orchestra, and her mother was the soprano of the opera troupe."

Chen Feng was startled: "Then you two are childhood sweethearts?"

Xu Tailang smiled wryly, and sighed: "My childhood sweetheart is a fart. She has good grades in her studies since she was a child, and she ranks first in the exam every year. She is a role model for all the children in the compound. I... Hehe, I brought a bunch of scumbags every day, fighting and causing trouble everywhere. , It’s disgusting, even though we live in the same compound, we haven’t spoken a few words.”

"However, I have sneaked countless times to see her beautiful figure when she walked by the window of my house in a floral dress..." Of course, Xu Tailang was not ashamed to say this to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng nodded with a clear face: "I understand, you have a crush on him..."

Xu Tailang: "...Did I say anything?"

Chen Feng: "You didn't say it, but I can see it, your plot is too bloody, you don't even need to guess, it's really boring..."

Xu Tailang: "..."

Well, Xu Tailang had nothing to say, so he could only down his third glass of wine.

Chen Feng took a sip of tea slowly.

"By the way, what did Lin Shengxue do during the years when she retired?"

Xu Tailang sighed and said: "Actually...Lin Shengxue's life was quite bitter. Her parents' relationship has always been bad. When she was young, she lived in the compound and often quarreled. Later, Lin Shengxue entered the entertainment industry and made some money. Sent her mother to live abroad... It's a pity that her father was unwilling and chased after her a few years ago... Then something happened... Lin Shengxue has been dealing with her family affairs abroad in the years since Lin Shengxue retired."

"Oh..." Chen Feng couldn't help but sighed.

He can understand this situation, because it is very similar to his family situation.

...

Chen Feng's parents have a bad relationship, and they divorced when he was very young. One of them went to Europe and the other went to Canada, and each of them formed a new family. Chen Feng followed his grandparents when he was young. grown up.

Before Chen Feng was a minor, his parents would pay him child support every year, and when he became an adult, even the child support would be cancelled.

In the end, they didn't even come back for the funeral of their grandparents. It was a few uncles from the old family who helped deal with the funeral of the old man.

Chen Feng can almost be said to have grown up alone.

However, Chen Feng received a lot of care from his grandparents. His personality was not too extreme, nor did he complain too much. Anyway, he lived a good life alone.

And after he met An Ruohua, An Ruohua became his only relative.

In this life, as long as he and An Ruohua are happy, that's enough!

...

Perhaps Xu Tailang was too immersed in the past between himself and Lin Shengxue, so he didn't notice the change in Chen Feng's expression, but Chen Feng himself quickly adjusted himself.

"So, what happened later? Why did Lin Shengxue come back again? You still came to ask me to sing for her?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Xu Tailang drank the fourth glass of wine silently.

"After Lin Shengxue's family affairs were dealt with, she herself suffered from depression... After recuperating for a long time, there was no sign of improvement. Afterwards, some of our friends in the compound discussed it and thought it would be better for her to find something to do. Just help her start singing again."

"Well, this is a good idea." Chen Feng nodded.

A gratified smile also appeared on Xu Tailang's face: "Yes, since she came back to sing, her mentality has improved a lot. Recently, she wants to make a new album, which will include those songs after her comeback. , there is still a lack of a good song that can support the entire album."

"So...you found me?" Chen Feng finally understood the emotional entanglement between Xu Tailang and Lin Shengxue, and after going around such a big circle, in fact, in the final analysis, it was Xu Tailang who wanted to help the childhood goddess he had a crush on when he was young.

"Not bad." Xu Tailang nodded: "I understand your level. You can write classic hits like "Songs of Ordinary People" and "A Man Should Be Self-improvement", and you can also write Internet songs like "Mice Love Rice". I think it shouldn't be a problem for you to write a well-regulated pop love song."

"Eh..." Chen Feng shrugged helplessly, "But...do you know...how much did I sell for my last song?"

Xu Tailang waved his hand: "Don't worry, money is not a problem. Lin Shengxue doesn't have much pursuit of money now, she just wants to sing a few more good songs..."

"Um... is it really okay? I sold a million songs last time, plus 80% of the channel copyright fee, and there is no guarantee that it will be popular..." Chen Feng blinked and said.

Xu Tailang looked confident: "Of course it's no problem, it's just a song, how expensive is it...what?"

Xu Tailang didn't realize it until he was halfway through his words, and immediately stopped talking.

"You...you...you...why don't you go grab the money?" Xu Tailang's eyes widened.

Chen Feng shook his head: "Stealing money is illegal, I won't do it!"

Xu Tailang: "What song did you sell for a million? Oh...wait, let me think...it won't be the second song "Mice Love Rice"?"

Xu Tailang worked in a recording studio, and knew a little about the things in the industry. Except for the phenomenal Internet Divine Comedy like "Mouse Loves Rice", there is no song that can sell for the price Chen Feng said.

"The guess is accurate!" Chen Feng nodded with a smile.

Xu Tailang was silent for a while, then suddenly shook his head.

"This is different... Internet Divine Comedy is something that you can't come across, and it's a one-shot deal. It's different from the orthodox entertainment and music circles. You have to know that if you help Lin Shengxue write a good song, there will be a What you get is many times more than if you write an Internet Divine Comedy!"
