Chapter 318
Kyoto in July is getting hotter and hotter. Although there are occasional thunderstorms these days, it doesn’t take half a day after the heavy rain. The sun can evaporate all the coolness brought by the rain, making people feel summer again. The unique charm of the sun.

Kyoto at night is still beautiful, but it is cooler, so more people come out at night.

Holding a briefcase in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other, Zhang Wei staggered forward on the sidewalk.

Just tonight, he worked hard, worked from dawn to dusk, and finally won the appreciation of his boss, who promoted him to be a department manager.

In middle age, since he graduated from university, he has been like a little ant. No matter what obstacles are in front of him, he insists on stepping over him, letting him go, and striving hard to his goal.

During this period, the lover who had been together since college broke up with him, and the friends who used to brag and fart together became estranged. He even seldom went back to his hometown. He called his parents every year and it was over.

He thought, when he succeeds in his career and has money, he can buy a house of his own in this bustling big city, and then he can give his lover a home. He can also bring his parents to live with him, and he can stay at home with his friends. Relax and continue to brag and fart.

Now, the career has finally achieved a little success, and the down payment has been paid on the house. At this moment of celebration when he was promoted to the department manager, Zhang Wei looked back, only to find that there was nothing behind him, and there was no one to share his joy with!
After leaving the company, he came to the bar alone, ordered a glass of wine for himself, and celebrated this memorable moment for himself.

However, after a few glasses of wine, there is only a touch of bitterness in the mouth, and the heart is empty. I don't know where the so-called joy has gone?

At some point, Zhang Wei walked aimlessly on the street with drunken eyes, as if he was looking for something.

In front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, a girl is trying on a white wedding dress, and her boyfriend next to her is watching with a smile.

Zhang Wei stared blankly, the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

It was also such a night, and it was also in this store. Like the boyfriend in the store, he looked at a girl who was trying on a wedding dress with a loving face.

He remembered that he had promised that when the two got married, they would choose the wedding dress here, and he had promised——
Zhang Wei sat slumped on a chair by the side of the road, the wine bottle fell to the side, and looked at the bridal shop with dim lights.

A soothing slow song slowly sounded from a video store next to it.

"That laughter reminds me of my flowers

Open quietly for me in every corner of my life
I thought I'd be by her side forever

Today we have left in the vast sea of ​​people

Are they old? Where are they?
Luckily I have been with them to open up

la... miss her

la... is she still driving?

la... go
They have been blown away by the wind and scattered in the sky—"

Time seems to be turning back, Zhang Wei once again appeared in front of him because of work, he refused the invitations of friends many times, because he was busy, he missed the gatherings of friends many times, and because he had to work hard, he even directly refused to answer the calls of friends.Finally, after a long time, no friends came to him any more.

"Some stories haven't been told yet, so forget it.
Those feelings have been difficult to distinguish between true and false in the years
Now the grass is overgrown and there are no flowers here

Fortunately, I used to have your spring and autumn, winter and summer
Are they old? Where are they?
Luckily I have been with them to open up

la... miss her

la... is she still driving?

la... go
They have been carried away by the wind and scattered in the sky

La……"

It was also a cool night, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Zhang Wei still remembered that day, in order to work overtime and impress his boss with hard work, he once again forgot the girl’s birthday, and he even forgot their date. , Forgot the agreement with each other, forgot how deeply I loved that girl, thinking that having a girl would own the world.

It's just that in the busy day and night, under the persistence of never giving up before reaching his goal, he forgot. He only remembers the work, and only remembers the position of the manager.

The starry sky was so beautiful that day, he quietly watched the girl waving goodbye with tears streaming down his face, he wanted to explain, he wanted to keep, he wanted to make up for it, but was delayed by busy work again and again, so until now, he seems to be He found that the girl had been away for a long time, so long that when he thought of her, only the other party was pampering him and smiling in his wedding dress!

"It's like you were blown away by the wind and stuck in the sky
Are they old? Are they still driving?

We went our separate ways—”

At night in Kyoto, Zhang Wei suddenly cried loudly, crying like a child. Passers-by passed by with different eyes, secretly guessing the reason for this man's sadness, and talking to each other about the cruelty of this society——
Ning Sheng's new song "Those Flowers" is like a flower of memory, floating with Zhang Wei, watching friends leave, lovers leave, time goes away——
"Friends from the audience, here is the music push for the evening in Kyoto. Today we bring you a new song "Those Flowers" by the musical genius Ning Sheng. It is said that this is the saddest song in Ning Sheng's third album. Song, I think many people should have heard it. I cried when I listened to it for the first time. Let's enjoy the first single of Ning Sheng's new album "Those Flowers" together!" The taxi driver was listening to the singer on the radio while driving.

That laugh reminds me of my flowers
Open quietly for me in every corner of my life
I thought I'd be by her side forever—
Ning Sheng's song "Those Flowers" is like a flower falling with the wind, gently passing through people's hearts, making people's tears drip silently, taking old photos and taking notes one by one, It was turned out in the singing.

"Ning Sheng's new album's first single "Those Flowers" became popular all over the country as soon as it was released, sweeping all major domestic music charts and becoming the hottest hit single at the moment!" --- Huaxia Music News.

"Ning Cheng's new single "Those Flowers" sang and cried countless fans. It is rumored that many fans burst into tears after listening to it. Countless people on the Internet called this single the most sensational and touching song of the year. Golden song! This is a very soothing slow song, but with the simplest melody and the softest lyrics, people are all hit by memories and lost in their past feelings!" --- Huaxia New Song Review.

"Ning Sheng's first single "Those Flowers" has exceeded 24 million downloads in 100 hours!" --- Huaxia Entertainment News.

"Ning Sheng's single "Those Flowers" has been downloaded more than 48 million times at the age of 500!"

""Those Flowers" exceeded 1000 million downloads in the first week! It became the fastest single to exceed [-] million downloads!"

After the first single became popular, Ning Sheng's third Mandarin album "My Sky" was officially released a week after the single "Those Flowers".

It's mid-July. After the college entrance examination, the senior three students ushered in the craziest and most relaxing holiday.

For high school graduates, although they are no different than college graduates, they are destined to choose different lives because of the results of the college entrance examination.

The students ate the last break-up meal together and sang the last KTV together. At this time, among the students, the most popular songs were no longer the old campus songs, but a few songs from Ning Sheng's new album. song.

"My Sky", "Dream Chaser", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", and "Those Flowers" have become the most popular songs, even though many KTVs don't have these songs, but for For students who want to vent their emotions, these are not important.

In the KTV, there was no need for a microphone, no need to order songs, and the computer directly played Ning Sheng's original song, and then everyone vented their voices together.

Because Ning Sheng's movie "Swordsman" is about to be released, Ning Sheng has no time to do promotion. However, Ning Sheng is simply a representative of classics in the hearts of fans. With the good reputation of the work, the album sales are still dominating Asia. In the first week, it airborne the album sales champion in the music charts of various countries in Asia.

Therefore, Ning Sheng didn't pay any more attention to the album, because as time came to the end of July, Wang Jing's "Eternal Sword and Dragon Slaying: The Demon Sect Leader" was released a week earlier than "Swordsman", and the reputation was good, and the Douban score basically remained at It fluctuates around 7.5 points, and the box office results are also very good. In the first weekend, it won [-] million in three days. This result was still affected by Wang Jing's last film "Tianshan Child Elder", otherwise, everyone expected it to break [-] billion.

However, because this movie has a good reputation on the Internet, especially among young audiences, the media predicts that this work directed by Wang Jing will hopefully break through 20 billion and set a new box office record for him. As for Ning No one mentioned the record of Sheng Sheng's "Dragon Inn".

Wang Jing led the actors to promote it everywhere. Because of the wide acclaim among young people, the promotional plan in the future also focuses on targeting young people, hoping that young people will contribute more box office to the film next week.

But this weekend, Ning Sheng's "Swordsman" was released on time, and the young audience was inevitably diverted.

Ning Sheng's new version of "Swordsman" is more refined than the original version, and the story is more complete, especially when it was revealed that Leslie Cheung and Ti Lung will be guest stars in the movie, so it attracted fans of the two superstars to support.

The box office of the first day will be announced in the afternoon of the second day.

"Swordsman" won the single-day box office champion with a new record of 2.7 million in a single day, while "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Leader" ranked second with a single-day record of 1.1 million. In the third place is the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 4".

Next, very soon, after the first three days, a new weekly champion was born. "Swordsman" won this week's championship with a score of 8.6 million in the first three days. 7.2 million, 14.2 billion accumulated in two weeks, and the third "Transformers 4" accumulated 5 million in the first three days.

This time, Ning Chen's "Swordsman" and Wang Jing's "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Cult Leader" are not much different in word-of-mouth. The former one scored 7.8 points, and the latter one scored 7.5 points, both of which are good scores.

The action scenes of the two movies are very exciting, and the stories are also good. The reason why the box office of "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Cult Leader" in the previous life is not good is related to the audience's preferences at that time, and the time of appearance is not suitable.But in this life, the timing of the appearance is obviously not a problem, and the audience likes it very much.

However, "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Cult Leader" is more like a happy action movie, and even the modern vocabulary of Wang Jing's characteristic line "combat power index" has emerged.

And "Swordsman" is an old-fashioned traditional martial arts film. Some people like both, and even many people like both movies, so the box office results of the two are not easy to separate too much.

However, one month later, when the summer box office ended, "Swordsman" still won the championship with a four-week score of 32.5 billion, while "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon: The Demon Leader" ranked second with 27.6 billion.

Many people often look for the reason, thinking that the wonderful scene of Leslie Cheung and Ti Lung's guest appearance in the movie has boosted the box office of "Swordsman", and the movie's theme song "A Laugh from the Sea" is the finishing touch, becoming the two movies. Biggest point of difference.It is also one of the main reasons why Wang Jing's movie lost the box office championship. Many movie fans and fans paid for the box office several times for this song and his brother's role.

And during the summer film competition, the weather in Kyoto in August has become hot.

Since the news of the Huaxia Music Audition was officially announced, the audition venues in various regions of the country are full of singers who have signed up for the competition. Except for a few elderly people, most of them are young people who just come to play.

In order to attract more people to participate in the competition, the organizers have exposed the plan of the Asian Music Competition from the very beginning to let everyone know that the champion of this China Music Selection Competition will participate in next year's more advanced music competition, and when the time comes They will have the chance to compete with famous singers!
In addition to this huge fame, many record companies have announced that they will give record contracts to the singers they fancy based on the situation of the singers in the competition. Create a new record for a talent show.

Of course, for many powerful young people in some professional colleges, what they value more is the place to participate in the Asian Music Competition next year. As long as they are not stupid, everyone knows that they can perform on the stage of the Asian competition, which means The huge exposure and the very likely rapid rise in popularity will naturally bring them more income in the end.

Therefore, it is no surprise that young people across the country are crazy about it.

In particular, when Japan and South Korea successively launched programs similar to the Huaxia Music Selection Competition in China to select candidates for next year's Asian Music Competition, the media were excited, the contestants were excited, and the entire industry cheered like a new year .

Ning Sheng had previously prepared a few songs for the three girls, and then asked them to go to the record company to rehearse by themselves, while he himself was busy with movie promotion and had no time to pay attention to their training.However, when the summer holidays are over and the national competition has not yet started, the three of Ning Tong will directly participate in the competition as a rookie group from Huijie Records. Therefore, Ning Sheng still has a lot of time. He can personally guide these three in the official competition. little girl

Since the three of Ning Tong knew that they were going to make their debut this year, the three little girls jumped up and down excitedly. Even between rehearsals and dances, the three of them laughed happily. A bunch!It wasn't until the race was about to start that they felt a little nervous.
