China Entertainment 1997

Just when Cao Xuan was guest-starring Cai E in "Party Founding", on October 28, the first promotional song for the new album "Xuan" was released on QQ Star website and Penguin Weibo.

When Liu Tianle (appeared in Chapters 168 and 527) saw the news, he had already been in the Internet cafe in his hometown for three days.

In 2008, he mustered up the courage to go to Hangzhou to find the goddess Wu Lanlan.

Fortunately, Wu Lanlan was single at the time.

Unfortunately, Wu Lanlan still had no interest in him.

However, Liu Tianle, who has experienced social training, is no longer the rookie in junior high school. It doesn't matter if he is not interested. A good girl is afraid of being harassed by a man.

Just lick it and that's it!

After all, they are young classmates, and the relationship between them is pretty good. Although Wu Lanlan doesn't like him, she doesn't have any bad feelings towards him, and even has some good feelings for him. This is a very good and good foundation.

Liu Tianle was not ugly, his salary was good at that time, he dressed decently, he was generous with his money, and he was willing to please Wu Lanlan in a small way.

The famous Northern Song Dynasty emotional expert Wang Powang once summed up the five tricks to pick up girls - [Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian].

Liu Tianle's comprehensive evaluation accounted for 0.5 [Pan], 0.2 [Deng], and 1.5 [Xiao], barely enough to make a beggar's version.

After a fierce pursuit, Wu Lanlan, who was still a college student at the time, was actually captured and achieved a counterattack.

However, after the counterattack, there is a very real problem.

Wu Lanlan is a graduate student at Zhejiang University, and now she is a student with no source of income. Liu Tianle can barely maintain the status of "well-matched". When people enter the society, will he, an insurance seller, still be worthy of her?

If it was just for fun, Liu Tianle wouldn't worry about this, but he really likes Wu Lanlan and wants to be together for the rest of his life.

So in 2009, Liu Tianle chose to resign and opened a restaurant with the savings he saved from his job, funds supported by his parents, and part of the loan.

Mainly focusing on the flavors of southwestern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, the target group is those people from some regions who work and live in Shanghai.

In the end, Liu Tianle borrowed more than 200,000 yuan and finally opened a restaurant.

I thought that the business would be booming. I would repay the capital in half a year, start making profits in one year, open a branch in two years, join the franchise in five years, ring the bell in ten years to go public, marry the goddess, and reach the peak of life.

But in fact, it was barely able to maintain a balance of payments for half a year, and suffered a small loss for one year. Now it has been open for almost two years, and it is only a breath away from bankruptcy.

Now let alone settling down in the Yangtze River Delta, he doesn't dare to stay at home when he goes back to his hometown for fear of running into someone who wants to pay...

"Da da da……"

The transport ship fired a barrage of fire, but not a single head was taken. Just as he was about to change bullets, his head was shot from an unknown sniper rifle.

boom!

Liu Tianle angrily slapped the mouse on the computer table. The Internet cafe owner sitting at the bar near him looked up at him in displeasure.

However, looking at Liu Tianle's unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes, he just muttered something but didn't say much.

The QQ icon hanging in the lower right corner of the computer kept flashing. Liu Tianle knew that Wu Lanlan was looking for him, but he didn't know how to face it.

He was afraid of hearing what he didn't want to hear the most, so he ran back to his hometown from Shanghai, hung up QQ, but never dared to open it and take a look.

Taking off his headphones, Liu Tianle went to the toilet. When he came back, he heard someone shouting from the Internet cafe.

"Cao Xuan's new song is out, you can read it on Weibo."

Liu Tianle was stunned, and suddenly thought that Wu Lanlan, who was a big fan of Cao Xuan, should also be listening to the song immediately at this time. He laughed at himself and started the game again.

But I don't know if I played "CrossFire" for more than half an hour intentionally. The number of heads in my hand was only single digits, but I died more than a hundred times.

"What a broken machine."

Liu Tianle slapped the keyboard angrily, and Liu Tianle skillfully deflected the blame. The Internet cafe owner raised his head in displeasure again, glared at him several times, and then lowered his head to read "Myth".

In it, Lu Su, played by Liu Tianxian, is looking lovingly and lovingly at the pale Yi Xiaochuan lying on the bed.

Liu Tianle, who couldn't play the game, fiddled with the computer aimlessly, and then unknowingly opened Weibo. The homepage was Cao Xuan's new song MV.

Liu Tianle hesitated for a moment and finally clicked on the video.

At the beginning of the MV, there was no music directly, but a noisy underground corridor.

At this time, Cao Xuan's figure appeared. Unlike most glamorous images, Cao Xuan in the MV is young and shabby.

He has slightly loose and fluffy hair. He is wearing long sleeves with a logo that was popular in the last century. The English on the logo is printed wrong. He is wearing washed white jeans. He is carrying an aluminum lunch box in his right hand and a guitar bag on his back. into a dark and cramped basement.

The basement is fairly tidy, but the environment here still looks a bit crowded and desolate.

After putting the guitar away, Cao Xuan opened the lunch box. Inside were two cold steamed buns and a few chopsticks of shredded potatoes.

Then Cao Xuan rummaged through the cabinets and found half a pack of seasoning powder left over from the instant noodles he bought last time to satisfy his craving. He made soup with hot water and made steamed buns to eat.

The entire MV took one minute to film Cao Xuan entering the room, "cooking" and eating. When Cao Xuan was on the screen, he drank all the instant noodle soup.

All the viewers felt sad.

At this time, the prelude finally sounded, and the soothing piano sound carried a touch of sadness. Cao Xuan in the video also took out his guitar and played it gently, and a low and magnetic singing voice sounded.

"A good person like me should have lived a brilliant life

Why is it that after more than twenty years, I am still floating in the sea of ​​people?

A smart person like me has long said goodbye to simplicity

Why did it take a relationship to exchange for scars?

…”

As if a sharp arrow had penetrated his chest, Liu Tianle stared blankly at the video. Cao Xuan's singing came to his ears, but all he thought about was himself.

When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was very high-spirited. Even if his college entrance examination results were not satisfactory, he still felt that he could break out of a new world based on his ability and overtake others in corners.

In his last year of college, when an internship opportunity came, he thought that if he could work hard, he would get a promotion and a salary increase.

However, no one told him that the internship arranged for him by the school was to go to a factory to tighten screws. It was a confusing day in and day out, which was boring and boring, and almost wore away all his ambitions.

After finding a job in insurance and struggling to make a living, and having a goddess partner, he was full of confidence, trying to start a business and achieve a class jump.

He failed and his business was a mess.

He also succeeded and successfully jumped from the proletariat to the negative proletarian class.

He thought he was the son of destiny, but in fact he was the grandson of heaven.

Taking out Baijiang from his pocket, Liu Tianle lit the cigarette with an expressionless face. The smoke was lingering and his eye circles were slightly red. He didn't know if it was from the smoke.

In the video, the MV has changed again. Cao Xuan walked out of the basement, sang for others, went to the studio to perform as an extra, and after a day of hard work, he finally got two crumpled banknotes.

Holding money in his hand, Cao Xuan wandered in front of a braised meat shop for a long time. Finally, he reluctantly moved away from the roasted chicken and braised pork and bought a pack of the cheapest instant noodles.

Returning to the basement, he happily ate up all the noodles. Looking at the remaining soup, he took out another cold steamed bun and dipped it in.

Finally, after finishing all the food, Cao Xuan carefully put away the remaining half packet of condiments and sat on the bed, playing the piano and singing.

"People like me are confused, people like me are looking for

How many people have you seen who are doing nothing like me?

A vulgar person like me never likes to pretend to be serious

Why do I suddenly panic when I hear old songs?

…”

When Liu Tianle saw this scene, he suddenly felt some sympathy. In fact, when he was a child, he liked to eat instant noodles the most.

However, instant noodles were a good thing at that time. A pack of Master Kong’s products cost 1 yuan. It was a rare luxury for rural children. The adults at home would not buy them.

They can eat small brands from their hometown, which cost 50 cents a pack or three packs for 1 yuan. Occasionally, when the adults are happy, or when they are sick, they can get what they want.

When Liu Tianle was a child, he had a wish that he could eat instant noodles until he was full. He would eat instant noodles three times a day.

However, when he could really do this, he couldn't find the feeling he had when he was a child.

Even because the economy has been poor in the past two years, he often eats instant noodles to satisfy his hunger, which makes him want to vomit when he sees instant noodles now.

From then on, he knew that growing up was not a good thing, just as he now understood that he was just an ordinary person among all living beings.

And when you understand these principles, it is often very painful.

"A person like me who refuses to be ordinary

how many people are there in the world

A weird person like me

Will anyone feel sorry for you?

…”

Liu Tianle smoked cigarettes one by one and listened to the song "People Like Me" over and over again. His eye circles were red and red, and his heart was throbbing.

Finally, he closed Weibo and opened the QQ chat page that he had avoided before.

[Lele, are you there? 】

[Lele, send me a message]

[Why didn’t you answer the phone when I called you?]

[Are you okay? I called the police.]

[I’m in the magic city, where are you? 】

[I know about the hotel, it’s not a big deal, we can face it together]

[I asked people if the items in your store would be worth something if I exchanged them. I finally calculated that I owed about 200,000 for miscellaneous items. I will graduate from graduate school next year, and a company in Magic City wanted to recruit me, with a monthly salary of 6,000. , mentioned 8,000 in half a year, if you find another job, you can earn 4,000 to 5,000, and the two of us will be able to pay it back in two years...]

[We are still young, we can’t stay in the devil’s capital, the worst we can do is go back to our hometown]

[Liu Tianle, don’t pretend to be dead for me. You were so shameless about chasing me back then. Speak.]

【……】

Starting three days ago, Wu Lanlan sent hundreds of messages, which made Liu Tianle cry and laugh, and finally lay on the keyboard and howled.

Several people playing games next to him looked at him in surprise. The owner of the Internet cafe also pulled away from the TV plot and wiped away his tears because of Lu Su's death.

After clicking pause, the boss stood up and came to Liu Tianle's side, patted his shoulder and persuaded him gently.

"Brother, I've noticed something wrong with you these past two days. Have you been cheated on? I've been through this before. I'll give you a piece of advice. There is no obstacle in the world that you can't overcome. These days, good women can only be found in TV dramas..."

………

After the song "Someone Like Me" was posted on Weibo, in just twelve hours, it had 7 million plays, 450,000 retweets, and 100,000+ comments.

[What a bad song, I cried like a dog in the morning]

[Good song, just Feiyan]

[25 years old, unemployed, lovelorn, accomplishing nothing, dreams shattered, the most painful thing in the world is not that you are an ordinary person, but that you can only live as an ordinary person despite all your efforts]

[Four words, each word is heart-breaking]

[Everyone of us is like this, from being pretentious to accepting ourselves as ordinary]

[Facts have proven that only Cao Xuan can surpass Cao Xuan]

[Boss has many inspirational songs, but I prefer these ones that go straight to the soul]

[This song is like a knife, peeling out the pain in people's hearts]

[The last song that made me cry was "Old Boy\
