Fake girlfriend is a big star

Deepbridge Records has long been the most popular and eye-catching music company in the United States. It has been in decline since the tragic death of its superstar more than ten years ago, and its situation has always been on the verge of bankruptcy.

Everyone in the industry was waiting for the day when this once behemoth would go bankrupt, and then share it with others. But in the end, Shenqiao Records survived. I don’t know where the old hat came from to acquire the company, and who knows? God jumped out of nowhere and saved this company that had not created profits for a long time.

By the time their peers recovered, Shenqiao Records was already operating normally and had even begun to get involved in the field of variety show production. Now all those people could do was the official website, and only idle media people would squat downstairs in their company. Observing the comings and goings of people, hoping to get the identity of God or predict the next move of Shenqiao Records.

However, it is difficult.

The same faces day after day, the guys who took the photos could even say hello to the employees, and they could even call them by their names. There were no so-called new people, people they had never met before.
nor.

"Someone's coming, someone different!"

In the Panda Express opposite Shenqiao Records, someone suddenly shouted and at the same time pointed a camera at the door of Shenqiao Records to take pictures.

Others followed, fearing that such first-hand revelations would be snatched away.

The identity of God has always been a mystery. Of course, the money-oriented empire will not miss such an opportunity to make money. Even if it is not God himself, the speculation caused by it can make his photos and news sell for a good price.

"A man and a woman?"

"It feels very similar." Someone said, "As we all know, God had a female voice at the beginning, and then changed to a male voice in the song "Old Town Road", so the possibility of this man and woman being God is not small."

"But I feel like I've seen their faces before?"

"Don't all Asians look like this?"

"."

After finishing the last complaint, everyone was stunned for a while. Only their eyes were moving instinctively, and their throats swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then they began to think about the issue they had just ignored, or the key -

Asian?
So many of God's songs are deeply popular. Although the identity of the singer has never been clear, how could it be Asian?

Media people have long imagined the so-called identity of God. The woman should be a bright Germanic girl with brown-blond hair and light green eyes. She is the kind of girl who makes people like her when she smiles, while the man should be Jewish. Or black people.

After all, their pronunciation is very similar.

"I wonder if you remember something?"

In Panda Express, someone suddenly said, "When it came to the song "Call me maybe," we first saw the video on YouTube, but the figure did seem to be Asian."

"So the most popular singer in America these days is actually Asian, or should I say Asian?"

"I think if this news is released, many people will not believe it."

"Now I somewhat understand why Shenqiao Records did not choose to announce the identity of God. As for race, I have to admit that racial discrimination in our country exists."

"So we just took a picture of God?"

"uncertain."

Someone had a quick mind and quick hands and feet. He opened the video of "Call me maybe" first released on YouTube and compared the photo he had just taken with the two people on the screen.

"They're not in the right shape," he said.

"After all, it happened more than half a year ago. It's not like we haven't seen out-of-shape figures before." Someone pushed up their glasses, "Do you only suspect that they are Gods? Have you thought about the identities of these two people?"

"What identity?"

"Shenqiao Records' "The Voice" has started to warm up. I heard that it plans to be broadcast on TV within a month. The two people we took the photo just now are contestants on "The Voice"."

"so."

"So, we must have stumbled upon a secret." The man who spoke pushed up his glasses, "They may be gods, but in the show they are contestants, and the two of them are very strong, so it is foreseeable. If both of them break into On the stage of the finals, if your identity is exposed."

"Holy shit, the people from Shenqiao Records know how to play!" Someone suddenly exclaimed, "God has never shown his face in the early stage, and these two people can definitely accumulate fans first, and then admit their identities at the end. These multiple factors Come down, God’s identity will be revealed directly, and their fame will reach its peak!”

"hiss--"

There was a gasp in Panda Express. How could the media people refuse such an opportunity to make money? Those who found excuses to leave immediately left. Those who did not leave were impatient. They all wanted to sell the news on the spot. Go out, as for whether the truth is right or not, they don't care, just make the money first.

Of course, Ye Ning and Gu Tianheng didn't know what these people were thinking.

It's been three days.

It took the people at Shenqiao Records three days to complete the arrangement. During this period, both of them felt like their days were like a year. One wanted to see what the song sounded like, while the other couldn't wait to start singing.

However, the accompaniment has only been completed now.

Listening to the exciting electronic music playing in the recording studio, Ye Ning and Gu Tianheng shook their heads to the rhythm. It was not difficult to tell from their expressions——

They love it.

George was also happy with their reaction. He smiled and praised, "The guys in the music department have been busy these days. They have made many versions, but I think this version of the arrangement is the best. "

Ye Ning nodded in admiration.

She had already seen the files on her computer. The folder labeled "Phoneix" was full of audio files of different sizes. She could foresee the efforts of this group of people.

This made her feel a little emotional.

Before she became a superstar, her songwriting days seemed to be like this. She was looking forward to lyrics and music, and then thinking about composing over and over again. Even in auditions, she had to sing many times, and then revise the arrangement over and over again. , and finally presented a good enough work to the audience.

But she has been a little numb in the past few years. All the songs and accompaniments are like products on the assembly line, without any soul or polish. In short, it only sounds like something that is in line with the market tone. As for practice?
It's okay if the singer can't sing well and can't fix his voice, they are all just selling their faces anyway.

But now, the scene of the whole company doing the same thing in full swing really scared her. Of course she knew that the bosses of this company were Lu Yang and Gu Qinghan, but the couple rarely showed up, and these people were so fanatical They looked like demon cultists, which made Ye Ning wonder if the two of them had brainwashed these people.

"Do you like this arrangement?" George looked at Ye Ning.

"It's great." Ye Ning nodded, "It's exactly what I wanted."

George smiled perfunctorily and opened the door to the recording studio. Wearing a well-tailored black suit, he bent down and made a welcoming gesture. In this posture, he looked like someone inviting people into his dance party. A gentleman, or a butler who welcomes guests to a party for his master.

"Then let's start recording directly. I'm looking forward to the scene when this new song comes out." George said. "Um."

Ye Ning nodded and stepped into the recording studio. She put on her headphones and saw George exhaling softly. She also saw the bustling staff outside. At this moment, she felt like a monkey in the zoo, accepting everyone. of onlookers.

"Are all the scenes recorded by our company that big?"

Gu Tianheng didn't expect the incident to develop so quickly, so he turned around and asked.

"No." George shook his head, "The main reason is that our company's music department has been idle for too long. We haven't seen such a scene for a long time."

"Didn't we have a few songs before?" Gu Tianheng said subconsciously.

But as soon as he said these words, he wanted to take them back. The previous songs of Shenqiao Records were all recorded in China, or they were recorded directly by Lu Yang after completing the accompaniment and then released. It seems to have nothing to do with these people. .

Perhaps seeing what Gu Tianheng was thinking, George smiled and explained, "I can't help it. The boss is so awesome that people in the music department of our company are afraid of being laid off. After all, he can arrange music, write lyrics, and mix music by himself." Boss, who wouldn’t be scared to see it? It’s obviously a well-established music company, but every time a song comes out, the only ones that have any value seem to be a few departments responsible for publicity.”

"Didn't you say you want human rights?" Gu Tianheng was stunned for a moment, "I remember that people in the United States have been shouting for the hateful title of capitalist all day long. Your attitude is very strange."

"No surprise, no surprise." George shook his head.

He explained: "Everyone in our company has been studying Eastern culture during this period, and you have also seen the posters posted on the walls of the company."

He pointed at the wall of the company, and Gu Tianheng followed his hand and pointed towards it. This was indeed a place that he had not noticed. There were things with a strong Chinese style posted on the wall everywhere, but the ones hanging were not landscape ink paintings, nor " Words that the nouveau riche like to hang, such as "The best is like water", "The sea embraces all rivers", "Harmony brings wealth", etc., are instead Chinese Pinyin and...
Explanations of idioms and proverbs with translations.

"Bull." Gu Tianheng gave a thumbs up.

When the name of Shenqiao Records is mentioned outside, it is a resounding sign, and it sounds like it is qualified and looks like an industry giant. However, the internal decoration of the company is like a kindergarten, but the students are not small children. Children, but a group of foreigners who are generally in their 30s and above, with blond hair and blue eyes.

"There's nothing awesome about this." George smiled, "It's all learning. The main thing is that we like Chinese culture. With thousands of years of history, there are so many things we can learn, and we have benefited a lot from many things."

"for example?"

"For example, 996 overtime."

Gu Tianheng: ".Bull!"

Lu Yang and Gu Qinghan still don't know what happened there.

The delivery date was approaching, and seeing Gu Qinghan's belly getting bigger and bigger, every time Lu Yang touched her belly, there was always an indescribable feeling, as if his own blood was circulating in her belly, and the two made him feel uncomfortable. The guy who has been a monk for more than half a year has been nesting inside, and now he is about to burst out.

"It's okay." Gu Qinghan smiled at Lu Yang, who was pacing back and forth. "The way you are walking around, if you don't know, you might think you are a man outside the delivery room. I haven't started giving birth yet, so you should start studying." Did you take action?"

"I'm hurting you, I can't explain." Lu Yang waved his hand and continued to pace back and forth.

At the end, he spread his hands and said, "I just didn't expect that I could become a father so soon. I had just found a girlfriend at this time last year, but now in the blink of an eye, I have two children ready to call me dad."

"What do you think I gave birth to?" Gu Qinghan looked at him angrily, "How could I call him daddy when I was born?"

"Almost, almost, you know what I mean." Lu Yang smiled, "Anyway, I'm just not ready."

"Who did it well?" Gu Qinghan shrugged, "I didn't expect things to develop so fast."

After the couple sighed, Lu Yang touched Gu Qinghan's belly and said, "You two little guys, remember to pick a good day to come out, not when I'm on stage to perform, otherwise I won't be able to see you for the first time. It's a big loss." went."

"Hiss—" Gu Qinghan took a breath, "They kicked me."

"It means they heard it."

Gu Qinghan: "."

The two talked over and over again on the topic of their children. The last thing that interrupted the couple's conversation was a video call from Gu Tianheng.

"what's up?"

Gu Qinghan looked at Gu Tianheng angrily. This guy should be in Shenqiao Records, but his hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he hadn't slept in a few days.

"Your company is tired, so damn tired." Gu Tianheng complained on the phone, "We recorded songs for a whole day and night. If we weren't well prepared, Ye Ning's voice would probably be hoarse."

"What's going on?" Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"The requirements are too high." Gu Tianheng complained, "Originally I thought I could pass it a few times, but George and a bunch of guys said this won't work, that won't work, and asked us to record it again, and said that the quality was not good to God. Works, do Westerners like God so much, do they control God so broadly? Are they starting to control music?"

Gu Qinghan: "."

Lu Yang: "."

The two said in unison, "Is it possible that the God George mentioned refers to the two of us?"

Gu Tianheng: "."

This time it was Gu Tianheng's turn to be silent. He waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about it. I just want to tell you that the song has been recorded, and the later editing and mixing have been done. George and the others are also very good. Satisfied, but still have to pass the final hurdle.”

"what?"

"I want to show you."

In the video, Gu Tianheng shrugged helplessly, "I'm talking about Lu Yang, do you think the people at Shenqiao Records have been brainwashed by you and Gu Qinghan? These guys are like dead people who have been saving it for 800 years without rotting. You are like a piece of wood, always mentioning you no matter what, and saying, "What the boss says is correct" is too evil!"

Lu Yang and Gu Qinghan were silent and looked at each other. They didn't expect that their prestige in Shenqiao Records was so high.

"Come on, come on." In the video, Gu Tianheng waved his hand, "Master, I'm going to bed. I stayed up for 24 hours and my scalp is numb from sleep. I'll send the song to you later. If you think it's okay, just nod to George and the others. Explain it, if it doesn’t work, let us continue to change it.”

"Good."

The call was hung up, and Lu Yang and Gu Qinghan looked at the files on their phones.

From Gu Tianheng, also from Ye Ning——
