The leisurely life of rebirth

Yang Mi's expression did not change.

At this moment, her professionalism as an actor allows her to follow her heart.

Meeting Zhou You is the greatest opportunity in my life. Playing tricks will only hurt myself.

"Well, my confidence is slowly disappearing. One day, I will slowly grow old."

"Your novelty towards me is gradually decreasing. I know that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover." Yang Mi said with a smile.

Zhou You couldn't help but pat her buttocks.

It creates ripples.

"You will grow old, and so will I. Don't worry."

"Besides, being young has its advantages, and being old has its advantages. A middle-aged woman can still be charming. Haven't you heard of that?"

Yang Mi chuckled and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't bully me for being uneducated. I have filmed period dramas and I actually know the origin of this idiom."

This time, Zhou You was really surprised that he was actually a cultured person.

"tell me the story."

"cough cough"

"Banlao Xu Niang means a middle-aged woman who still has charm. It comes from "Southern History·Biographies of Empresses and Concubines·Xu Fei of Emperor Yuan of Liang"." Yang Mi said proudly.

"Not bad, you really know it, not bad, not bad."

Zhou You said several good things in a row, which really surprised him.

"Can you tell me the complete version?"

Yang Mi is feeling very proud. Who said she is a vase? When arranging flowers, shouldn’t she water them?

Hearing Zhou You's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's good enough to know a little, but knowing the whole thing is not that great.

He just shook his head. He first knew this when he was acting. There was some connection between this and he was indeed interested in it.

Then I wrote it down.

Zhou You couldn't help showing off: "During the Southern Dynasties, Xu Zhaopei, the concubine of Xiao Yi, the King of Xiangdong of Liang Dynasty, was not favored by her husband, so she had affairs with Zhiyuan Taoist of Yaoguang Temple in Jingzhou, He Hui, and Ji Jijiang.

Ji Jijiang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Xu Niang is still so charming and romantic even in her middle age." Xiao Yi couldn't bear it anymore and ordered her to commit suicide.

Only then did Yang Mi understand what it meant.

Oh

This story, does it touch me again?

He immediately said, “Brother You, don’t worry, you are in such good health, I can’t bear it.”

"."

"I will never get married in this life, but I have not treated the people who followed me unfairly. If you find a good place to go in the future, we can part ways in peace."

Zhou You saw that Yang Mi wanted to say something, so he reached out and covered her mouth.

"If you are destined to be together, you will be together. If you are not destined to be together, you will be apart. It is a very normal thing. Don't feel that you owe someone something. It doesn't exist."

This is also Zhou You’s truest thought.

Whether it is Yang Mi, other people in the entertainment industry, or other women, they are all treated equally.

In this life, people can’t even take care of themselves, let alone others.

Sometimes it is unrealistic and not in line with the actual situation to want to take care of all aspects.

No one can do it, Zhou You can say that for sure.

So, he made up his mind.

Just do what you can and have a clear conscience.

Yang Mi was very satisfied with today's harvest and did not demand anything else. It was too much and unrealistic.

It's just that I made a decision secretly.

Not getting married doesn't mean not having children. I'm not young anymore and it will be too late to have children.

The reason why I said this today is because I have been planning this for some time.

The answer given today can be communicated and discussed further later.

If Zhou You was more heartless, he wouldn't have told him.

Nowadays, Yang Mi no longer needs to show up in public. Whether there are paparazzi watching him every day or not, who would be willing to do such a worthless thing?

Besides, the risk of keeping an eye on her is too high now, and she has now acknowledged that she is no longer just an entertainment star.

Yang Mi would neither ask nor tell what others thought.

In a while, I will go abroad for some time. Everything is arranged and I am just waiting for the results.

The company can still operate without me and can be managed remotely, so there won’t be any big problems.

As a woman who is bold and daring enough to sign a bet agreement, she does have some courage.

Zhou You continued to stay in the capital for a few days.

I don’t want to listen to those crosstalks performed by young people anymore. They are too noisy.

Only Zang Helun's is worth listening to, which is quite interesting.

The others really can't be appreciated.

Old Yu doesn't get on stage as much as before, and Old Guo goes on and on to whitewash himself. It's a long, drawn-out speech that I don't want to listen to at all.

How should I describe Xiao Meng's crosstalk? It's a bit lacking in flavor and has no personal characteristics.

He is an excellent crosstalk performer, but he has no outstanding works.

Why have I been staying here? Actually, there is another thing I want to do. I am waiting for Comrade Lao Li.

Li Zongsheng is also a big name in the music industry and the godfather of Taiwan.

He is also a romantic.

The two can chat together and exchange experiences.

At first, many people thought that Lao Li had retired from the music industry and that the era of the older generation had passed.

Who would have thought that he would take the music scene by storm at that time with the song "The Hills".

What is the meaning of being strong even when old? What is the meaning of the charm of time?
Having been able to create this song, Lao Li can really be considered retired. It can be regarded as a simple summary of most of his life.

“Face the difficulties of life with a smile”

"After crossing the hill, my head is already gray

The sorrow that I don’t give when I chatter endlessly

Not yet wished to see immortality
lose yourself first

I went over the hill and found no one was waiting for me. "

Everyone has different feelings after listening to this song, and the same is true for a person at different stages of life.

This is also the reason why Zhou You likes Lao Li, every word of the lyrics is heart-wrenching.

"Fight back without knowing your own strength until you die"

No one can explain clearly what life is. Some say it is suffering, some say it is enjoyment.

Some say it's traveling, some say it's a marathon.

What is life? Everyone has his or her own answer, and no one has an answer.

The answers are for exams, but life is not an exam and there are no standard answers.

Everyone is groping. Smart people think they have found the answer, but in the end, they discover that the so-called answer belongs to someone else, not themselves.

Zhou You was also looking for an answer. After searching for a long time and not finding a satisfactory answer, he simply gave up.

Whatever happens, the worst that can happen is that you die again, and maybe there is still an uncertain future.

What will happen after a person dies, what will exist, has never been confirmed.
So, is there reincarnation, is there an afterlife, is there another world?

Tie Sheng’s thinking is correct.

The desire for afterlife, the fear of death, perhaps a future whose truth or falsehood is unknown, is the only thing that can calm people's inner panic and anxiety.

After figuring this out, I have a different understanding of my current life.

In recent years, Lao Li has gradually faded out of the music market.
Just occasionally attend small shows.

It was thanks to Xiao Li that I was able to make an appointment with him today.

Of course, it's also to promote guitar, but I don't really make much money from it.

Li Zongsheng is running around now, and this time he came to prepare for next year's concert.

The last time I listened to music was last time.

At that time, I heard it with Gan Ying in Jinling.

I don’t feel it when I’m on stage, but I do look a little old off stage.

The meeting place was in the reception room of the Dream Chasing Company. Besides him, there were Li Ronghao and Maomao.

Maomao is just a bonus.

In the past two years, I have been working and experimenting according to my own wishes, and I have written many new songs, which have all been very popular.

He likes his current life very much. He writes songs when he has nothing to do. When he gets tired of writing and has no inspiration, he participates in some variety shows to relax, show his face and make his presence felt.

Where can I find such a day?

If I were to work for another company, I would probably have to participate in variety shows every day. Writing songs doesn't make money as quickly as participating in variety shows.

If it can package its appeal to the audience a little more, it will be able to make a living for a few years at least.

As for the future,

How many stars have a future? Times have changed, and the fast-paced era has long arrived. If you don’t use your fame after it expires, it will become useless.

Although Li Zongsheng does not appear frequently in the entertainment industry, he has always been around this circle and is quite curious about the company that has made him famous.

Li Ronghao introduced many things about his travels on the way, and also talked about his last concert.

Zhou You saw that Li Zongsheng had gray hair, wore black glasses, had a stubbled beard, and had a slight overbite.

A talented person will be charming all over.

He is not very tall, just over 1.7 meters.

"Hello, Xiao Li." Zhou You was waiting downstairs and made a little joke after meeting him.

Li Zongsheng couldn't help but laugh. This guy is really his fan:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, please stop laughing. Actually, when I was on stage, I couldn't help myself either. What can I do? I'm already Old Li."

One sentence brought the two sides closer together.

"Haha, I heard that Teacher Li is coming over, so I took the liberty to invite you to meet me, just to fulfill my personal wish." Zhou You did not hide anything and spoke the truth.

In the past, I might have been a little reserved, embarrassed, and worried about what others would say.

It doesn't matter now.

Li Zongsheng didn't expect to be spoken so directly, and felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, I'm really flattered if you say that. It's just writing a few songs, it's no big deal."

This is actually his true words. He only wrote a few songs, not a dozen or even dozens of classic songs.

Li Ronghao and Maomao could hardly raise their heads as they listened at the side.

Isn’t it true that the bigger you are, the more humble you are.

What's going on? Excessive humility is pride.

"Okay, let's talk while we walk. Actually, I know Teacher Li is always busy, so I'm sorry to bother you. This is just a coincidence."

Li Zongsheng nodded. He had actually experienced many such scenes.

There are many people who like my songs, all kinds of people.

"Mr. Zhou, when I first saw you, I was actually a little confused. I didn't believe you liked my songs. You are too young."

How old is Li Zongsheng? He was born in 58 and is 60 this year. His songs were most popular in the s and s. Zhou You was still a child at that time.

Many people have this doubt: Zhou You doesn’t seem like someone who likes songs of this era at all.

Facing his doubts, Zhou You smiled and explained: "We live in a rural area. If a song becomes popular in our area, it will take a long time for it to become popular."

After hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

At that time, fashion did not spread so quickly. It took a long time to spread from south to north.

Li Zongsheng could understand a little: "My songs are also very popular now."

"Haha, that's right, we can't even get tickets for the concert." Zhou You didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was just telling the truth. What was there to be embarrassed about?

"It's okay. Next time I'll save a few for Mr. Zhou. Other people's concerts are always full of jumping and dancing, very lively, but my concerts are very quiet and sometimes boring." Li Zongsheng shook his shoulders.

"It's not just quiet, many people will cry." Zhou You said suddenly.

Now Li Ronghao and Maomao couldn't hold it in anymore.

Under the influence of the concert environment, many people will do some irrational things and have more emotional emotions.

"Maomao, you can also hold a concert. Do you want to try it?" Zhou You turned his head and said.

This person has gained weight now. It’s not good to have a life that is too good. He has less inspiration.

"Ah, no, I don't have enough songs and the performance time is not long enough." Maomao was suddenly called out and was a little confused, so he said subconsciously.

Zhou You glanced at Li Ronghao and continued, "How many songs have you written recently? Are you short of inspiration?"

Maomao understood that this was a sign of disgust towards herself.
He used to treat me like a treasure, but now that I don’t release any songs, he’s turning against me.

"Brother You, I'm writing right now, and a lot of it is being polished. Teacher Li is here today, so it's a good opportunity to ask for his advice. It will be enough for the concert in the second half of the year." Maomao said hurriedly.

This is a temporary reason.

It is true that we have been a bit slack. Besides, nowadays people only release singles. Who would release albums? They won't sell anyway.

Li Zongsheng thought that since he was already here, it would be okay to give some pointers.

But Zhou You refused: "No, I invited Teacher Li today. I will invite him separately next time."

Really, I finally have the chance to chat with you and I can even do business for you.

In fact, it is difficult for two strangers to simply chat smoothly.

But this is Zhou You’s strong point, talking about hobbies and the like.

After chatting for a while, they sent Li Ronghao away: "Go help Maomao look at the songs first, my brother and I will chat here for a while."

"Oh, I'm so annoyed. No one writes songs properly. Now there are no good songs. I don't know what's going on. Teacher Li won't continue to compose?"

"I'm old now. Most of the things I wrote about before were about love and affection. They were all personal experiences and unforgettable. But now I can't do that anymore. I'm old and can't express that feeling in writing." Li Zongsheng suddenly felt a little lonely.

Who can enjoy glory all their life? I have enjoyed glory for most of my life, so I am very satisfied.

"Alas, I have supported a lot of music funds, but there are very few songs that catch my eye." Zhou You was a little distressed.

"It's almost the same. Even if times change, people will become tired of their aesthetics. There weren't so many songs before, and people hadn't been exposed to them, so there are many classics that are passed down."

“Later, as more and more people came in, it became more difficult to write something new.”

Different people have different opinions.

This was a refreshing answer for Zhou You. (End of this chapter)
