Miss Gu & Miss Qu: 64063
"The lighting and sound are in place."
"Host get ready. The countdown begins..."
"...three, two, one!"
………
…
The penultimate rehearsal of the program is going on in the huge studio. The dazzling lighting and stage rear projection make the whole studio look splendid. With a professional smile, he began to read the well-behaved speeches.
Although the rehearsal has been carried out for the fifth time, no group of actors will relax in the face of the fact that any show will be taken down at any time.
The total length of the show is only four hours, and no one wants their show to be scheduled after midnight, and there are really very few stars who can have solo time in the first four hours.
Gu Xizhi's songs are ranked at 23:00. After the rehearsal, although Gu Xizhi is quite satisfied with his performance, compared with the qualifications of other solo singers in the music world, She had little hope of being able to stay.
The program of the song and dance group will definitely be deleted, and she is very likely to be the one that was deleted.
Sure enough, the next day the program team sent her a notice that the program was taken down.
The mid-winter noon has become the warmest time of the day. The sun is pouring down gently, illuminating the withered branches and the dark haze. Gu Xizhi is sitting on the balcony tending the flower branches. voice, Liang Ying sat on the sofa talking on the phone.
After a phone call for half an hour, the first time Liang Ying hung up the phone, she went to the balcony aggressively and yelled at Gu Xizhi, "Why didn't you tell me that the director removed your show!"
Gu Xizhi frowned, "Aren't you talking to Bo Yiqing?"
"Sister Yiqing knows that I don't even know!" Liang Ying became even more angry.
"She is in Malaysia." Gu Xizhi wrote lightly, "I didn't tell her, and I didn't know she would know."
"Anyway, you let me down!" Liang Ying snorted heavily, turned around and went to the bedroom with the phone.
Gu Xizhi looked at her back, put down the green radish in his hand and walked down the balcony.
The fire in the kitchen was in full swing. Gu Xizhi helped to prepare the dishes after washing his hands, while Tang Yu focused on cooking all the time, and the two of them were very quiet.
After a long time, Gu Xizhi fished out the washed dishes, looked up at Tang Yu, and said belatedly, "Did you tell Bo Yiqing that the show was deleted?"
"She called me and asked me, and I told the truth."
Gu Xizhi didn't speak any more.
At noon, Liang Huan and Anda came to Gu Xizhi's new home as guests. They were full of praise for the sumptuous dishes. After lunch, Gu Xizhi went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. Anda took Liang Ying to learn about potted plants on the balcony. After finishing the call, Liang Huan entered the kitchen with her mobile phone. Seeing the guests entering the kitchen, Gu Xizhi quickly said, "It's too messy here. You go to the living room and I'll make you tea."
Liang Huan didn't move, but stood leaning against the door and looked at her, "Why don't you say that the show was taken down."
Gu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "The results just came out yesterday, and we haven't had time yet."
Liang Huan nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "I've thought about it. Going to the party will be beneficial to me but not harmful. This circle is not something that I can just let me go if I want to quit the news media. Since it's better I will accompany you."
Gu Xizhi was obviously surprised, "This is not good, you obviously don't want to participate..."
"Liang Ying and I have been arguing all afternoon, and if I don't agree to her, I'm afraid I will have a bad life this New Year." Liang Huan smiled, "Besides, I hope your good voice can be heard by more people. In the original intention of loving music."
Gu Xizhi was probably grateful, but his expression was complicated for a while.
Liang Huan said again, "I heard from Liang Ying that you are a little interested in Li Scarlett's movies. I don't know anything about movies, but she and I often play mahjong together. Next time I will call you Together."
"Sister Liang..." Gu Xizhi looked like he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, it's not easy to get ahead in this circle. I've encountered many seniors who helped me along the way. You don't have to thank me. If you can, just help newcomers when you have the ability in the future." After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, no one arranged for you to work when you just came back. I'll ask Xia Qiao to help you take care of work for the time being."
Gu Xizhi was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You guys are too kind to me."
"You deserve it." Liang Huan smiled.
The last rehearsal of the party went very smoothly. The news that Liang Huan would appear at the New Year's Eve party became the headlines of the major news media on the rehearsal night.
January 7, New Year's Eve.
The centenarians seem to glow with some thriving vitality as the new year is approaching, and the city that has been bustling for several days is even more colorful with lights and fireworks at night. The weather in midwinter can't quench people's enthusiasm, it seems that they have endured the cold for a season just to welcome the new spring.
Countless families can only be reunited at this time, and countless people are still busy at this time.
Backstage of the show studio, Liang Huan and Gu Xizhi, as guests of the show at 9:30, have already changed into costumes and put on makeup. Such a busy backstage makes any celebrity in the studio just become a name .
I don't know why, Liang Huan has countless singing experience, but she looks a little nervous when faced with this kind of scene. Although the atmosphere is really tense, Gu Xizhi's mood doesn't fluctuate too much .
"She is nervous because she loves music, and she doesn't want her performance to have any flaws. People are always more nervous about things they care about, just like you like movies. In fact, it may be better to calm down .” Facing Gu Xizhi’s question, Tang Yu answered in this way.
At that time, the cross talk actors in front of the studio were talking nonsense, and the audience's laughter spread to the backstage, but it didn't make the tense atmosphere in the backstage any less.
Through the lights of thousands of homes, most of the families are watching the same channel at this moment. Some families gather together for the New Year’s Eve dinner. one.
In the large villa on Xuanfen Road, Yin Jun invites the family to drink tea and watch TV after dinner, Qu Xizhi wears a newly stitched Burberry white cashmere coat and leans on the sofa to watch TV with his father, TV What was playing on the machine was a sketch, the quality of which was not bad, the relatives who had just finished dinner were attracted by the TV program and forgot to chat.
After the skit was over, the host appeared on the stage, and everyone in the room was still enjoying the skit just now, and they had an endless discussion. The stage scene on the TV had switched, and at this moment a little girl came out of the kitchen and said to the crowd angrily, "You are not allowed to talk, I want to watch Liang Huan sing."
The little ancestor of the family spoke, and the family quickly smoothed over each other, saying, "Do you hear me, don't talk, listen to the singing."
The little girl stared several times at the one who was still talking, and soon there was really no one in the living room talking.
Gorgeous lights and rear projections create a Chinese-style atmosphere when the prelude to the song sounds. Hundreds of LED lifting platforms present various elements in classical culture with three-dimensional images. Loud applause erupted from the TV.
Subtitles appear on the screen immediately:
"Yu Jiao Pear"
Singer: Liang Huan Gu Xizhi
Lyricist: Hua Jiu (Taiwan, China)
Composer: anda (Japan)
Because the subtitles just flashed by, many middle-aged people neither recognized the person nor saw clearly, and said, "We know Liang Huan, what is the name of the latter."
"My name is Gu Xizhi, who plays TV." "Little Ancestor" replied quickly.
"Hey, is it so similar to our little song's name?" Everyone seemed to have discovered a new world.
Sitting on the sofa drinking tea, Yin Jun cleared his throat, put down his teacup and watched Qu Xizhi, but no matter where the show went, Qu Xizhi's expression was so light that no trace of sadness or joy could be detected.
The audience didn't have to wait too long. At the beginning of the song, the close-up showed Liang Huan walking out of the lifting platform in a golden theme costume. When another voice sounded, the audience burst into applause again. , and when this person appeared in the feature, many hot spots on the Internet were taken away by her.
On the last Weibo posted by Gu Xizhi more than two years ago, a simple Weibo posting stills was forwarded and commented dozens of times per second. I asked her why she didn't update Weibo for two years and didn't show up. When the song entered the chorus, there were two more heated discussions. One was that the singing was better than before, and the other was that the song was really good.
A song lasted less than four minutes, but it left many audiences with surprises and shocks.
Because there were really not many young artists at the party, Gu Xizhi's appearance became an absolute bright spot, and Gu Xizhi's appearance with Liang Huan seemed to break the rules, and in the already hyped " After the topic of "Liang Huan's comeback", I added enough follow-up, and this voice is the voice of singing "Premonition" with Liang Huan in the past. Many audiences are not unfamiliar with this voice, and the Chinese style song "Yu Jiao Pear" is enough It sounds good, so the applause off the stage has been constant.
For many ordinary people who don't understand music, judging whether a person sings well is often "whether her high pitch is high enough", because Gu Xizhi's vocal range is indeed very wide, and "Yu Jiao Li" has really played well Therefore, even the middle-aged and old people suddenly remembered the little girl who sang with Liang Huan.
There are always voices of praise from contemporary composers:
"This girl whose name is similar to our ditty song is not bad at singing."
"I've never heard of this name before, I know Liang Huan."
"It's very sweet, what's the name of this song? It's very nice."
………
…
Even Qu Xizhi's father, Qu Tingxiang, expressed his opinion, but Qu Xizhi and Yin Jun remained silent from beginning to end.
The singing of the song was very successful. After leaving the stage, Tang Yu, who was waiting in the background, immediately showed Gu Xizhi on Weibo, "There are 30,000 comments."
After two years, Gu Xizhi looked back at his Weibo, saw the number of comments, and smiled again.
The tense atmosphere backstage did not allow for celebration, so Gu Xizhi quickly sat down and continued watching the show, forgetting about the previous performance.
What she didn't expect was that after the party, the top topic on Weibo after the party was "Spring Festival Gala", the third was "Yu Jiaoli", and the top topic on Weibo on the third day of the new year was "Long-haired Gu Xizhi pk short hair Gu Xizhi".
A celebrity who hadn't appeared in front of the audience for two years suddenly appeared in front of the public with a new look in a very wide-ranging way. Forums appeared, among them there were many speculations that she suffered cold storage after losing the best actress, and some talented people compiled her acting career into catchy poems, so her name suddenly became an inspirational poem when her attention reached a peak. representative.
People are always used to sympathize with the weak. When gossip all over the sky pointed to the fact that Gu Xizhi had been refrigerated by China Entertainment International, on the one hand, her fans condemned the brokerage company verbally and pens, and on the other hand, her diehard fans Especially with young fans.
The direct consequences of this phenomenon and the effect of the New Year's Eve party are: 1. The solo version of the song "Yu Jiao Li" is so popular that people can't bear to look directly at it. Alleys will be placed. 2. Gu Xizhi's short hair style has made many barbers study **** the technique. The reason is that many long-haired beauties want to cut her hairstyle, but because the hairstyle needs special care, most people's cut results are not ideal.
The second day of the Lantern Festival.
The night before, Gu Xizhi had just flown home from a local TV station. Early in the morning, Gu Xizhi received a call from Liang Huan saying that she would play mahjong in the afternoon. Xia Qiao pushed five announcements to free up her time.
In the morning, Gu Xizhi chose a more lively style from a pile of new clothes. The new stylist and makeup artist gave her exquisite hair and makeup, and even the nails were completely new. Xia Qiao looked at her outfit for the first time. In a word: Times Media invested a lot of capital in her.
When Gu Xizhi was nominated for Best Actress in "Acorus", Tian Youlan, the EST project director of Times Media, once offered her an olive branch. At that time, Gu Xizhi never thought of leaving China Entertainment International. The heroine failed, and she didn't have the heart to go to this muddy water again. After returning to China, Gu Xizhi contacted Tian Youlan immediately. She still had the attitude she had two years ago, and the resources given to her also proved her sincerity. Even after this party, she arranged for her a private makeup artist and stylist , specially equipped with millions of RVs.
She said that a star needs to be praised to become popular, and she can give her a lot, but Li Scarlett is not sure.
One o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Huan's private house.
In the huge multi-functional entertainment hall, the heating was turned on. Gu Xizhi, who arrived early, was entangled by Liang Ying to play games together. When the doorbell rang, Gu Xizhi patted Liang Ying on the shoulder and said, "I'll open the door, don't you?" I'm playing with you." After saying that, he dropped the game and left.
Liang Ying glanced at the villain who died in the game, then rolled her eyes at her back, "We value profits over friends!"
Liang Huan was preparing tea for the guests. Seeing that Gu Xizhi went to open the door, she did not stop what she was doing. Gu Xizhi opened the door and saw Li Scarlett without any surprise. When she saw the person walking with Li Scarlett, she delayed for two seconds before saying, "Sister Jia, please come in."
Although the cooperation with her was not finally finalized because of Xiao Ji, the two of them had some friendship at that time, and people who knew her well would call her Sister Jia.
Scarlett Li had already heard Liang Huan introduce the mahjong player, so it was not surprising to see her appear, but after all, she hadn't seen her for many years, and when she saw the real person again, she still seemed more enthusiastic, "Little Gu, it's been a long time since I saw her. So thin now."
"It's okay not to be thin. Sister Liang said that if you lose ten catties, your lung capacity will not meet the standard." He smiled and led the two into the door, and then looked at the woman next to Li Scarlett. "Sister Jia, can you introduce me?"
Scarlet Li probably remembered that the two of them didn't know each other, and said, "This is Jessicaara, her Chinese name is Zhong Linshan. She is still very famous in the fashion circle. Many famous fashion designers know her. She I also have a clothing brand." After speaking, she said to Zhong Linshan, "ara, this is Gu Xizhi, she is very popular recently and I often hear her name, you should recognize her."
Zhong Linshan has a net height of 1.77 meters, so wearing high heels does not feel a little oppressive, but her golden face and professional smile alone make her extremely friendly.
"Of course I know, Xizhi."
Li Scarlett seemed to be reminded by the word "Xi Zhi", and immediately said, "I forgot about these two people."
After preparing the tea, Liang Huan, the owner, saw that the person had arrived, and greeted, "Mahjong is ready, come quickly."
Originally today's theme is mahjong, and everything else becomes superfluous.
It has long been known from the data that Li Scarlett loves to play mahjong, and Gu Xizhi has also learned it for a while, and his skills are in a state of not winning money but always losing money.
Hands inevitably become the focus when playing mahjong. Li Sijiali sat at the next table and saw Gu Xizhi's fingers when playing the first card and said, "Your fingers are more beautiful than many hand models, and your nails are also very well done. Pretty."
Gu Xizhi smiled, "I usually don't have anything to do, so I left some nails to paint."
"I'm envious of you little girls." Liang Huan took the words and played a card, and said, "I used to be unable to grow long nails when I played musical instruments, and now Liang Ying pesters me all day to give her I haven’t had beautiful nails for decades.”
"You're beautiful enough without your nails." Li Sijiali smiled and played.
At this time, it happened to be Zhong Linshan's turn to take the cards. Liang Huan looked at Zhong Linshan's fingers, as if she had suddenly discovered some new land, and asked, "Ara, you don't play musical instruments or cook, why don't you grow long like other girls?" Nails?"
The eyes of the people at the table all focused on Zhong Linshan's neatly cut nails. Zhong Linshan seemed to be blocked by her question, but it was Li Scarlett who said, "Huanhuan, you are stupid, the reason for not keeping nails is not necessarily because you don't have nails. Musical instruments don’t cook.”
"What else?" Liang Huan still didn't know what to do.
Gu Xizhi glanced at Zhong Linshan's nails, then lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes.
"Ahem!" Liang Ying who was playing games couldn't help but raised her head and said, "Mom, you are a fool, I despise you for little Aqu."
Liang Huan still didn't understand at first, but after seeing everyone's embarrassment, she thought of Liang Ying's words, her face turned red, and she stopped talking.
The whole mahjong game seemed to go wrong from the beginning, and then Gu Xizhi often made mistakes.
When mahjong was over, everyone found that even those who played mahjong for the first time might not be able to achieve this state: Gu Xizhi lost from the beginning to the end.
Mahjong played until eight o'clock in the evening. When the game ended, it began to rain again. Gu Xizhi was about to call his assistant to come pick him up. After hanging up, Zhong Linshan said to Li Scarlett, "Xiaoqu is upstairs Wait for me, don't bother the driver, let's go together."
Scarlet Li nodded, and said to Gu Xizhi out of politeness, "Xiao Gu, let's go together, there will be traffic jams in this kind of weather, it's still early for the driver to come."
Gu Xizhi wanted to refuse at first, but seeing Liang Huan's wink, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trouble Ara then."
"No trouble." A polite smile.
The winter rain is mixed with the north wind, which makes it very cold in the dark night.
Gu Xizhi walked downstairs wearing a tweed coat, and in the dark, he saw Qu Xizhi getting out of the car under an umbrella.
She is still wearing high heels, black windbreaker and umbrella, making it difficult to notice her in such darkness, but when she takes off the umbrella to reveal her face, the bright red lips and fair skin bring The blazing contrast is still surprising.
When she came in front of the three of them, she obviously noticed her, but she just gave her a second of sight out of politeness, and said to Li Scarlett, "Sister Jia gets in the car first."
Li Scarlett seemed quite used to this kind of priority, and just followed her into the car after being polite.
A minute later the car was already on the road.
The heavy rain hit the car windows and formed raindrops, which were quickly cleaned by the wipers. Gu Xizhi and Zhong Linshan did not speak after getting into the car, but Li Scarlett and Qu Xizhi kept chatting.
"Xiao Qu, do you want to act in a movie recently?"
Qu Xizhi has been driving, and heard the words, "The scripts have been received all the time, but they are not particularly suitable." After a pause, "I heard that Sister Jia is going to shoot a new work?"
"Yeah, the script hasn't been selected yet, I plan to finish the script selection in March before picking the protagonist." It seemed to be joking, "If you want to invest, you can come over and be the producer."
Qu Xizhi also said in a joking tone, "If Sister Jia is not afraid of messing up the movie, of course I can."
A truck was approaching from the front. Although the sight distance was limited and it was easy to avoid it, it was not particularly dangerous. However, Qu Xizhi almost didn't hit the brakes because of the chatter.
After the car came to a complete stop, the people in the car were in lingering fear. It was not until the truck on the opposite side adjusted its direction and left Zhong Linshan that he said to Qu Xizhi, "What happened just now?"
"It's okay, it's not good to drive in high heels." Turning his head to the back seat of the car, "I'm sorry to surprise you."
Li Scarlett obviously didn't care, "It's okay, be more careful next time, don't wear high heels while driving."
"Sister Jia, you really believe her." Zhong Linshan said, "Her ankle has an old injury, and it hurts whenever it's rainy." After finishing speaking, she complained to Qu Xizhi, "I told you not to wear high heels on rainy days , why don't you listen to me."
"I left in a hurry and forgot to change." Qu Xizhi didn't show any expression, he put his long hair behind his ears and restarted the accelerator.
Li Scarlett heard this and said again, "Xiao Qu, when did you get the injury on your foot? I know an orthopedic doctor who can help you ask about the situation and see if it can be cured."
Qu Xizhi wrote lightly, "I accidentally fell down the stairs wearing high heels two years ago."
"Young and young are so careless." A regretful voice.
Gu Xizhi, who remained silent all this time, raised his head to look at her profile, and then at her hand holding the steering wheel. Seeing that her nails were clean and tidy, he adjusted his eyes and looked out of the window quietly.
Because of the short distance, Gu Xizhi was the first to get off. There was lightning and thunder outside the car, probably out of etiquette, Qu Xizhi said before she got out of the car, "Shall I take you up?"
Gu Xizhi looked up at her, smiled, "No need, someone is here to pick me up." After a pause, "Thank you." He opened the car window, bid farewell to the three of them, and walked downstairs in the rain.
The car turned around quickly after she left, and the rear of the car gave off a dim light when reversing. Qu Xizhi adjusted the car position, and looked at the man holding an umbrella in the shadow of the tall building in the rearview mirror. Accelerated out of the community.
