I’m Really a Superstar

The sky is bright.

There was a commotion in CCTV Studio 1.

"Where are the clothes? Hurry up!"

"Team Sun, the prop is broken, what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter, let Xiao Chen get it, there are still spare ones!"

"Everyone, hurry up and change your clothes and make up. The last rehearsal has begun. We are the eighth show. We are all ready to go backstage. It will be us soon!"

"Hey, don't squeeze."

"Where is the makeup artist?"

"It's the last show, we must do it well, otherwise the show may be canceled!"

"Yeah, my hands are shaking now. Even celebrities as big as Grandma Zhang and Aunt Zhang have been temporarily canceled from the show. Those of us who are not famous, but..."

"Shh, keep your voice down and don't mention this."

"Director Peng wants them to make way for young people."

The hall is very messy, with guitars, singing, and people dancing. There are too many people in the venue and it cannot accommodate so many people in a separate training space, so everyone can only find a place to practice a few more times before going on stage. You can almost see the tension and excitement on everyone’s face!

On the Spring Festival Gala!

This halo is too big!

Basically 90% of people are attending the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. Naturally, they cannot be as calm as those who are familiar with the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, even celebrities who have attended the Spring Festival Gala more than once may be surprised when they encounter this kind of scene. I will be nervous because there is too much pressure! What's more, there is the precedent of Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia. The programs determined by the program list may not be available in the end. It may be that they really get the last moment of the live broadcast before they know whether their program can be performed and compete. It's so cruel!

hall……

corridor……

rest area……

There are too many celebrities here, and no one cares about Zhang Ye, and many people don't know him.

Zhang Ye searched aimlessly, not knowing the location at all, so he had to grab a passing child and said, "Friend, wait a moment."

The little girl was only ten years old. She looked at him and immediately said in surprise: "I know you! You are Teacher Zhang Ye!" She had a hoop on her back and looked like she was performing acrobatics.

Zhang Ye said pleasantly: "It's me. Let me ask you something. Do you know where Zhang Yuanqi is? Have you seen her since you came here?"

The little girl was very honest, "I know, Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang are in the lounge. Turn right here, turn right, the innermost room on the left. I just came from there, and the door there is open. I I saw them." The place is not big, so it is easy to find someone.

"Thank you, little girl."

"You're welcome."

Zhang Ye then went to find him.

…

In a lounge.

It may also be considered a makeup artist and dressing room, because there are several mirrors on one wall over there, and there are a lot of clothes and props piled on the floor. It can be regarded as a multi-purpose room.

Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia sat and chatted.

Zhang Yuanqi smiled cheerfully, "Our place is really clean."

"Haha, we are old people who have passed away. It would be better to be cleaner." Zhang Xia is a very healthy and energetic old lady.

Her short hair was all white, but it was permed, and her eyes were bright, "But if you say I'm old, I'll admit it, but if you say Xiao Zhang, you're old, I'm involved in this. You're not over thirty." Is it also called old? And you look like you are only in your twenties."

Zhang Yuanqi said: "You are not old either. How many old ladies can sing a "Song of the Nation" without even taking a breath? We are made old by others." He looked at his watch, " The last rehearsal has begun, and there’s nothing else for us to do, so why don’t you leave?”

Zhang Xia smiled, looked around, and spoke after a long time: "I have been on this stage for too many years. Every time I am not at home during the Chinese New Year, I am always here. For me, CCTV Studio No. 1 is where I am." It’s a place to celebrate the New Year, so this year it’s the same, the show can’t be on, so I’m also celebrating the New Year here.”

Zhang Yuanqi patted Zhang Xia's hand and said, "Then I will accompany you."

Zhang Xia's words happened to be heard by Zhang Ye who had just walked to the door. In that moment, he was also hit in the heart and trembled slightly!

What kind of old man is this?

What kind of feeling is this?

This is an old lady who has the Spring Festival Gala in her bones!

"You don't have to accompany me."

"It's okay, I didn't make any announcement today."

"Isn't your team composing a new song for you? You still have a chance to participate."

"Haha, I was just rushing to the spot, it was too late. If the directing team had told me that the song was not suitable, I would have found someone to arrange the song. Now, I can't catch up."

"It's too early to give up. There is still hope. You have more respect in the entertainment industry than I do. There are so many musicians who write lyrics and music. Just ask them."

"I've asked before, but there's nothing suitable. Even if there is a suitable song, it's not that breathtakingly good. At least it can't be compared to the height of "May People Live Longer". That's why I want to sing. If there are no good songs and good lyrics, What’s the point of me going to the Spring Festival Gala? We, as artists, can’t fool the audience, right?”

"Who wrote "May You Live Longer"?"

"Zhang Ye."

"He doesn't have any similar songs anymore?"

"Writing songs is a slow and meticulous work, and it also requires inspiration. Even if the director team had told me a day earlier, I would have asked Zhang Ye, but the notification was too late, and there must be no suitable songs for Xiao Zhang."

Suddenly, Zhang Ye strode into the lounge, "Who said I didn't!"

This sound startled the two people in the lounge and they all looked over.

Zhang Xia didn't recognize him, "Who are you?"

"Xiao Zhang?" Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said, "You really don't talk about it."

Zhang Xia heard it, "Is this Zhang Ye?"

"Hello, Grandma Zhang." Zhang Ye nodded to the old man, "I wish you a happy New Year."

Zhang Xia said kindly: "Happy New Year to you, you are the one who wrote songs for Xiao Zhang, right? I'm not very familiar with the entertainment industry, and I don't know you very well, so don't mind."

Zhang Ye immediately said: "If you knew me, how honored I would be. It's okay. I'm just a small artist with no reputation." Compared with the two people in front of him, he was indeed a small artist.

Zhang Xia asked: "What did you say when you came in just now?"

Zhang Yuanqi also looked at him, "Do you have a good song?"

Zhang Ye said confidently: "Of course."

"Do you have a demo? Let me hear it?" Zhang Yuanqi asked.

"That's not true." Zhang Ye said.

"There are no lyrics or music?" Zhang Yuanqi asked.

Zhang Ye said: "It was already five or six o'clock in the morning when I was watching the news. I just found out about it, so I was not prepared. I couldn't get through when I called you, so I borrowed a friend's work ID and sneaked in. I know you need it now. When a song comes on stage, why do you need someone else to do it? Just ask me. Let other musicians improvise a song that can become popular all over the country. They may not be able to do it, but you know I can!"

Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said: "The last time I asked you to make a song and buy your copyright, you were pushing and pushing me for a long time. I was too embarrassed to ask you for a song."

Pretend!

Just pretend!

Have you ever been embarrassed?

Zhang Ye said: "It's different this time. I have always believed that art does not distinguish between old and young. Of course, I don't mean that you two are old. The behavior of the Spring Festival Gala director team made me angry. My parents were also very angry, so I met For this kind of thing, I think I have to do something. Haha, I don’t have any other great skills, but I can still write a poem or a song. I dare not say that what I write is the best in the country. It’s great, but I dare say that none of them can write as fast as me! I’ll give you whatever song you want!”

Zhang Xia couldn't laugh or cry, "Can I write whatever I want?"

Zhang Ye affirmed: "Yes."

Zhang Xia said again, "Writing lyrics and composing music?"

"Yes." Zhang Ye said matter-of-factly.

"Interesting." Zhang Xia didn't quite believe it, but was very interested. Based on her decades of experience, anyone who dared to say such lies was either a madman or a genius!

Zhang Yuanqi shook his head, "I don't know what kind of song you want. I can't hear the demo, so I can't tell whether your work is suitable."

"In that case, I will take it upon myself to think of a song for you." Zhang Ye said calmly.

"Okay." Zhang Yuanqi waited.

Zhang Xia took a look, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, you two can chat."

Zhang Yuanqi pulled the old lady and said, "You don't have to avoid her. It's okay."

The old lady smiled and said, "I really need to go to the bathroom."

Zhang Yuanqi said nothing more, Zhang Xia went out and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, Zhang Yuanqi changed back to Zhang Ye's familiar appearance. It was as if he had changed his face. His face suddenly became expressionless. If others saw this scene, they would probably be stunned and pissed, but Zhang Ye No reaction at all, I'm used to it.

Zhang Yuanqi said indifferently: "Are you sure?"

"It won't be worse than "May You Live Longer"," Zhang Ye said.

Zhang Yuanqi hummed and said coldly: "No matter how the song is, I owe you a favor."

Zhang Ye knew that because of a piece of news, he had put aside his family affairs for Zhang Yuanqi during the Chinese New Year. He went all the way to the TV station, and even used his connections to sneak into CCTV to find her and help her write songs. Zhang Yuanqi's expression showed She couldn't see anything, but she definitely appreciated it in her heart.

"I'll write the lyrics first and you can read them."

"Um."

Zhang Ye found out a pen and paper and started writing.

After he finished writing, he cleared his throat and started singing.

One minute……

three minutes……

After listening, Zhang Yuanqi didn't say a word.

Zhang Ye blinked and looked at her, "How are you doing, Sister Zhang?"

Zhang Yuanqi stared at him, "How did you do it?"

"That's it." Zhang Ye said evasively.

Over there, Zhang Xia also opened the door and came in, "What's wrong? You haven't started writing lyrics yet? It's okay, take your time."

"It's already written." Zhang Yuanqi's expression suddenly changed again, and he smiled and said: "Not only is the lyrics finished, but the music is also out." As he said that, he showed the lyrics to Zhang Xia.

Zhang Xia took it and said, "Did you listen? How do you feel?"

Zhang Yuanqi smiled lightly and said: "I have never doubted Xiao Zhang's writing skills. I am very relieved when he writes lyrics. But in the past, I always felt that the composition of "May People Live Forever" was a fluke and happened by chance. But Today I discovered that it was no accident at all, Xiao Zhang is a top musician in China!"

Zhang Xia was stunned and said: "You rarely have such a high opinion of people. Are you so good?"

"Look at the lyrics and I'll sing it to you again." Zhang Yuanqi was able to sing after listening to it once.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Ye was convinced. With this voice, this musical quality, and this song, it would really be a thunderbolt if Zhang Yuanqi didn't sing this song. Although Zhang Yuanqi's voice was lost in some places, after all, she was the only one who could sing this song. After listening to it again, even though there was no band or accompaniment around, Zhang Ye still felt so amazing that he got goosebumps when she sang this classic song! The melody of this song actually kept playing in Zhang Ye's mind on the way here. He couldn't get it out of his head. He wanted to give it to Zhang Yuanqi to try, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing!

Who said Lao Zhang can't continue on his music career?

With such talent, such a voice, and such singing experience, this person is definitely indispensable in the music industry! It’s just bad luck that I haven’t had any good songs in the past few years!

Zhang Yuanqi finished singing.

Zhang Xia also finished listening. The old lady took a breath and stared into Zhang Ye's eyes. "Is this really the song you wrote just a few minutes ago?"

Zhang Ye nodded.

Zhang Xia suppressed the shock in her heart and forced herself to regulate her breathing rhythm, "Xiao Zhang, if I didn't know the music circle too well, I have dealt with all the new and old people in it, just with this song, If you tell me that you are the best musician in China, I will believe you!" Then he said to Zhang Yuanqi: "Hurry up and compose the music, get the accompaniment tape, you will definitely be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala again. If you can't even perform this kind of song, then The Spring Festival Gala has no value anymore, Yuanqi, and Xiao Zhang. I also like this song to the core. Let’s talk about it when we have a chance after the Spring Festival Gala. I also want to cover it. I’ll pay royalties or cooperate. Let’s talk again. ”

Zhang Yuanqi suddenly said: "I have a suggestion, let's sing together!"

Zhang Xia waved her hands flatly and said: "That won't work. This is a song given to you by Xiao Zhang, and as a diva, there is no reason why you can sing a chorus instead of singing solo."

Zhang Ye first said: "You decide, I have no objection." Then after thinking about it, he said: "Grandma Zhang, I actually think that it would be better for you two to sing this song together."

Zhang Yuanqi smiled and said, "That's settled."

Zhang Xia was still hesitating, "Isn't it appropriate?"

Zhang Yuanqi said calmly: "Many people in the directing team and the media say that we are old and outdated. I don't know what you think. Anyway, I don't really like to hear it. Let us show it to them this time. , we are not old yet, we can still sing. Ten years from now, twenty years from now, we will stand on this stage... and we will still be the most beautiful women! We will still be the most bright and dazzling flower. !”

Zhang Xia smiled, smiling as if she didn't think of an old man at all, "...Okay! We two will fight side by side today! Show them!"

Zhang Yuanqi immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call. When he found that there was no signal, he quickly walked outside the room and called his team, "Hey, Lao Wang, I have a song here temporarily. I need the soundtrack and record the accompaniment tape." , you guys prepare over there, I’ll go over right away, get everyone here and work overtime, I’ll treat everyone to dinner later, haha.” Then she left CCTV to work on the soundtrack!
