Chapter 28

After the termination of the contract, Longxing immediately released its official Weibo, saying that the two parties had terminated the contract peacefully for some reasons.

There was a lot of discussion online for a while, and most of Xia Xiai's fans applauded:

[Finally terminated the contract with this blood-sucking company! ! ! Celebrate all day! ! ! Forward this Weibo to draw three YSLs! ! ]

[After signing for more than a year, I didn’t even send him an album. Every day I let him run for business performances, and his talents were buried! Now my cub can finally write songs with peace of mind! ]

[After living for a long time, you can wait for anything! Baby, your next company must keep your eyes open and don't be fooled again! Or open your own studio! ]

Passers-by are speculating about what this "some reason" refers to, and which company can grab the most popular rookie singer.

Xia Xiai occupied the hot search for a week in a row, making Xu Tong happy.

"I'm really discerning, and I'm holding the right thigh. In the past two days, various companies are about to blow up my mobile phone. A little assistant of mine suddenly has the experience of being an agent, which can make me worse."

Xia Xiai didn't answer, she focused on reading the piano score for a while, put her ten fingers on the piano keys, and pressed them down one note at a time.

"Wow, brother, I didn't hit you. Are you really going to perform piano solo at the Huaqu Awards? You can't learn the piano overnight." Xu Tong worried.

In three weeks, it will be the annual Chinese Opera Awards Ceremony in the music world. Xia Xiai was invited to attend and will serve as a guest for the halftime performance. For a rookie singer like him, who has not debuted for a long time, it is an honor, and it is not an honor. Surprisingly, this year's Best Newcomer Award is 100% his.

If he can get his wish, this will be the most important award he has won since his debut.

"Yeah, I know." Xia Xiai stared at the piano score, "The boss taught me when I was singing in the bar before, and I also performed. It's a little basic, and I should be able to pick it up after practicing."

"Xiai..." Xu Tong leaned over and asked cautiously, "We've been in trouble now, can you tell us something about your past? In case someone picks it up, I'm fine too. Prepare for PR in advance.”

"Didn't Long Jie tell you?"

"How can a little assistant of mine know these secrets!"

"It's not a secret." Xia Xiai flipped a page and said casually, "After my grandfather passed away, a distant relative adopted me and took me to the city to study and live for the few acres of fields in the countryside that might be demolished. ."

"and after?"

"My relatives' children disliked me, slandered me, and said bad things about me in school, and I was pushed out. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and beat him up. After graduating, I dropped out of school and went to work.”

His tone was light and airy, as if he was stating a sparse and ordinary old story. But Xu Tong knew that things were not that simple, otherwise, with his character, he would never have done such a thing that hurt others and himself, and he would never have given up his studies.

How desperate must a diligent artist who does not take breaks to study piano even during the holidays drop out of school and run away from home?

Her heart ached: "Then... and then later? How could you..." How could you live on the streets.

This is an almost open secret of Longxing. At the beginning, the company wanted to select internal artists to participate in the new generation singer draft, and the selected ones were all mediocre. One day, Longjing suddenly brought back a strange boy from nowhere, saying that he was on the street. Picked up.

At that time, Xia Xiai was severely malnourished, with a thin body and few flesh on her face. Her cold and sharp black eyes were full of alertness, but she could still see her extremely handsome and delicate face. It was finalized by Zhao Jianhua as one of the shortlists for selection.

Fans can tell the story later. The 19-year-old Xia Xiai, with her outstanding appearance and extraordinary strength among a bunch of strong competitors, has been going all the way to the top, from unknown to the end of the draft. 10 million fans in just three months.

The media were naturally curious about this popular teenage singer and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Long Jing's skill was so good and her management was in place that she just kept his past hidden. Only the orphan was guessed by fans, because in the finals, all the contestants received their parents cheering vcr, while the vcr for Xia Xiai came from other artists in the company.

"The bar where I work is not a serious bar." Xia Xiai still lowered her head and looked at the position of the piano keys, "The boss is not a serious boss. I thought he was really treating me well. Although he didn't get paid, he taught me how to play the piano. As long as I have food, clothing, housing, and transportation, I can live a good life. It wasn't until the day I turned 18 that I found out that he was taking drugs, and he treated me... Forget it, don't talk about it, don't listen to this as a girl. "

"I want to hear it!" Xu Tong pleaded, "You may feel better if you say it, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it..."

"Actually it's nothing. He plotted against me. I didn't let him succeed. I smashed his head with a wine bottle and ran away. He didn't care about taking anything. Otherwise I would have been caught long ago."

Xia Xiai stopped, looked out the window and recalled for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Thinking about it, my 18th birthday was pretty cool."

Despite being poor for more than a year after his birthday. With only a junior high school education, he can't find a decent job, so he can only study hard in the library in the morning, and work as a dishwasher in the restaurant in the afternoon and evening. Passers-by will be attracted by his singing to throw some money for the songs he made up, but the stingy beggars have never given them to him. If there is something, he can make more money than beggars when he works hard to wash dishes for a day.

But he never stopped singing, nor did he regret dropping out of school or running away from a bar. He is not afraid of poverty, nor is he afraid of hardship, but he is only afraid of being trapped in a cage and unable to gain freedom.

How could a free soul who grew up in the vast field be willing to be imprisoned in the cramped corner of the city?

Xu Tong was about to say two words of comfort when the phone on the piano suddenly vibrated.

Xia Xiai glanced at the name displayed, her face twisted again, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she connected the video call.

"What's up?"

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Jiang Liushen on the other end was wearing a baggy bathrobe, exposing his large chest muscles, holding a glass of red wine, smiling frivolously, "The big boss wants the little star to report her recent work, and take a look at the little star. Are celebrities slacking off?"

Xia Xiai was expressionless: "The little star is studying hard, the big boss is spending time and money, and the report is over."

Jiang Liushen almost choked on a sip of red wine.

Come on, the little star is too cute.

Xu Tong also laughed out loud, and Jiang Liushen was suddenly alert: "Who? Who are you with? You know that idols can't fall in love?"

Xu Tong hurriedly said: "Brother Shen! It's me! Then I'll go first, and you can talk slowly."

After she left, Jiang Liushen said again: "Even if you are an assistant, you have to avoid suspicion, otherwise fans will be jealous. You must be conscious of being an idol and assign you a male assistant another day."

"No, I'm not an idol, don't use that trick to control me."

"I don't want to accept it before I sign it? You are so embarrassed to say that you are not an idol?"

"If you want to say that, then you're not too—" Xia Xiai stopped halfway.

But Jiang Liushen had already reacted and asked deliberately, "What is it? Do you think my brother is handsome enough to be an idol? Don't be ashamed to say it."

Xia Xiai didn't answer: "What's the matter with you? I'll hang up."

"Wait, I have something to do." Jiang Liushen approached the screen, "I came to the film festival this time, I met the director of my first movie, and it happened that I liked his new script and story, so it was finalized, and it will be almost as soon as I come back. Let's start shooting."

"So soon? So am I going to start writing songs?"

"You're not in a hurry, the shooting time will take two or three months, and there will be nearly a year before the release."

Xia Xiai breathed a sigh of relief, and then wondered: "Then why did you tell me this?"

Jiang Liushen smiled mysteriously, and said something that made Xia Xiai instantly dumbfounded:

"There is a role in it, I think it suits you very well, just relying on personal relationships, the shady is given to you, is the big boss powerful? Are the little stars moved?"
