Time quickly came to Saturday this week. It’s another recording day for a new issue of “Voice of Trend”.
But this time, it has nothing to do with Jiang Kan. After all, the previous injury required him to stay in bed and rest for a month, so Zhang Lingling had already helped him handle the withdrawal procedures.
As the organizer of the event, Shashi Satellite TV was actually very helpless, but after all, this happened on their stage, and it was 100% a work-related injury. Therefore, they not only paid Jiang Kan’s full medical expenses, but also arranged for him to stay in the hospital through some connections. Only middle- and senior-level cadres are eligible to enter the special care ward.
It is difficult for ordinary rich people and big stars to qualify for such a ward, but Shashi TV, as the leading local TV, also has very strong connections in the system, so Jiang Kan can be admitted this time, which is considered to be of high standard. Treated.
There was no need to participate in the recording of the program, so there was no need to get up early in the morning to prepare for the trip. Jiang Kan slept comfortably until almost noon before waking up. He enjoyed a special meal for patients and then continued to take out his tablet. The computer began to learn advanced knowledge about composition.
Now, he can simply compose one or two ditties that are interesting to hum with the help of the disconnected system, but he is still unable to compose an entire song.
However, he is not in a hurry for success, and will take his time. Anyway, with the systematic feeding and nurturing of a large number of excellent songs from the earth, he believes that sooner or later he will be able to produce songs of similar quality.
Because he couldn't go by himself, and it was useless for him to keep the relatives' tickets, he gave three to Zhang Yu so that their family could go to watch the evening show, and if they were lucky, they could also show their faces on the camera. , which can be regarded as a thank you for her considerate and serious care for me.
"Ding ring ring~" Just as he was watching carefully and fascinated, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and looked and found that it was Xiao Feiyan calling.
"Hello, uncle!" As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Feiyan's energetic voice came from the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Feiyan~ Good morning!" As soon as he heard her voice, Jiang Kan's face naturally showed a happy smile. This girl is really a pistachio, and she also cares about herself quite a lot. I don't know. What did she want to talk about when she called today?
"It's still morning, it's almost 12 o'clock, uncle! Did you have a long sleep today? I really envy you. You don't have to get up early in the morning to catch a plane. The airflow in the sky is so strong today that I'm shaking so much that I just sit down It’s like an old-fashioned bus back then. I’m almost getting airsick!” Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party sputtered out a long string of words, as crunchy as fried beans.
"Oh? Are you okay? Have you arrived in Shashi safely? It's a pity that I'm injured and can't go with you..." Jiang Kan heard this and asked anxiously. He had encountered strong turbulence in the air a few times before. , it was really terrifying, the whole person was falling like a free fall, and everyone on the plane started praying and making signs of the cross.
"Of course it's okay, otherwise would I be able to talk to you so easily now? By the way, uncle, I called today to tell you about the song selection today. I want to choose the song "Nunchuk" you sang. , what do you think?" Xiao Feiyan's words revealed an aura of arrogance, as if she was standing in front of Jiang Kan, with her chin raised high and a proud look on her face, and she almost said
"Come on and praise me".
"You want to sing "Nunchucks"?" Jiang Kan was stunned. Why did this little girl remember this song?
"Um, Xiao Feiyan, are you sleepy today? Why are you singing this song?" He asked curiously and incomprehensively.
"You just fell asleep, uncle. You didn't get up until noon!"
"No, can't you sing this song? Why, uncle, I have been practicing for several days, just to sing this song properly on the show, so that I can help you clear your name and increase your popularity! "Xiao Feiyan was also stunned. She originally thought that the uncle would praise her for being sensible. How did she get this answer?
"Because this song has been criticized so much before, I'm afraid you will be implicated if you sing it!" Jiang Kan clasped his chin and said with some embarrassment.
"Besides, it didn't even make it into the top twenty. Wasn't it only ranked thirty-fifth before? The rule of "Voice of Trend" is that it must be a song in the top twenty!"
"Oh? So that's what happened, haha!" Xiao Feiyan laughed on the phone and said nonchalantly as if she suddenly understood.
"Those people who criticize you are fools who don't understand music! They can't write good songs themselves, and their voices can't support them in becoming singers. They can only rely on a pen to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. Today's review This one, tomorrow you will belittle that one, use this one to attract people’s attention and make a pitiful meal!”
"Besides, uncle, have you not looked at the rankings for at least two days? Your song "Nunchaku" has already reached the top twenty! Will you go and check it out yourself later?"
"What? Already rushed to the top twenty?" Jiang Kan's ears stood up when he heard this, and then he frowned again, with a black question mark face on his face.
In the past two days, he had been discussing the synthetic sound source company with Zhao Junping, and he was busy talking on the phone with other aunts and uncles who cared about him. In fact, he did not check this month's new song rankings. .
Picking up the tablet on the bedside, he clicked on the Feixing Music Network website. Sure enough, he saw on the homepage of the website that on the latest ranking list, his "Nunchaku" had reached the seventeenth place. name!
"Oh? Why did the ranking suddenly rise so much? I saw it was only thirty-five two days ago!" He asked in confusion, and Xiao Feiyan on the other end of the phone quickly gave the answer. he answered.
"Ha, Uncle Kan, you haven't read much news online recently, have you? Several music critics who are close to your Feiyang Entertainment have published articles in the past few days, praising your song from various angles. You dare to be ahead of the times and are willing to be the first pioneer to improve Xia’s domestic rap songs!”
"Although there are still many people trying their best to hack you, these articles still seem to have exerted a good power. At least in just two days, there were more than 90,000 downloads, helping you to reach the 17th place. It’s famous!” Jiang Kan looked at the number of downloads and found that it had indeed reached times, which made him take a breath of cold air.
"However, there are so many people who are hating you on the Internet. I guess the things written by Feiyang's few imperial literati may only have some temporary effect. But it doesn't matter. I am also a big anchor with hundreds of thousands of fans. ! I will sing this song tonight to add another fire to your popularity, hehe!" The little girl's words were like a big fire rising in the cold wilderness in winter, giving Jiang Kan's heart felt hot.
"Ha, that's fine...then just sing, but be careful not to arrange some too intense stage moves, and don't buy a nunchuck to play on stage accidentally. If you hit yourself, the shame is secondary. If you hit you all blue and purple, you will feel uncomfortable!" Jiang Kan smiled and shook his head. He couldn't hit the opponent's sincere heart at that moment. She is here to play with tickets anyway, so let her like it.
"Hey, don't worry, uncle, no, how could my little Feiyan be such a reckless person? Don't you think so?" Xiao Feiyan on the other end of the phone stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and moved the one who was not holding the phone. The nunchaku that was still spinning in his hand stopped and was put aside. He looked at the small bump on his head in the mirror next to him, with a look on his face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
... Chatting with Xiao Feiyan is always so pleasant. Half an hour has passed before I know it. The sun outside the window has risen directly above my head. Countless cicadas are singing in the yellow jujube tree that almost covers most of the courtyard. Singing loudly, contributing more summer memories to this sultry summer afternoon.
However, the special care unit where Jiang Kan lived had central air conditioning. The cool and fresh air was blocked by the large and thick glass windows. The difference between late autumn and midsummer was completely different inside and outside the room.
"Ding ding ding ding~" He just put down the phone and rubbed his ears, which were a little hot and red from being on the phone for too long, when the phone rang rapidly again.
"Hello? Xiao Wang, ha, have you arrived at Shashi?" Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be Wang Yuchang. Jiang Kan picked up the phone in a good mood and said hello.
"I've been here a long time ago. I got up at 7 o'clock today, and it wasn't even 11 o'clock when I arrived in Shashi... It's really hot today. I even forgot that Shashi is one of the hottest stoves in the country. It's almost killing me. It's baked into salted fish!" Wang Yuchang's voice on the phone was a little urgent, and he was panting slightly. He was probably in a hurry on some road.
"It's good to be here. How are you preparing for the song you're going to sing today? By the way, why do you want to see me?" The sun was so bright, and this kid was chatting with me while he was on his way, so there must be something wrong.
"What about that, Master, I have an idea that I would like to ask you for advice..." A melancholy voice came from the phone.
"Ask for instructions? Haha, what do you need to ask for... Well, tell me, let me listen to it?" Jiang Kan couldn't help but be speechless. The two of them said that they had a master-student relationship, but in fact, as a teacher, he gave them a few lessons a week. In every class, there is nothing like the ancient masters and apprentices who even taught life philosophy and academic homework together, and there is no need for the other party to respect themselves so much.
"Ha, that's it. This week, I want to sing the song "Nunchaku" that you just released. Can you think of it?" Jiang Kan was slightly startled by his words and raised his eyebrows!
Why does this guy want to sing this song too? Did they make an appointment? Not like that.
"You can sing if you want. I remember that the program team has signed contracts with major entertainment companies to automatically sign the top twenty songs. They have the copyright, and anyone can sing if they want!"
"Master, that's not what I mean. What I mean is... I want to perform this song well with your singing style, and then let my fans also like this song, and then help you increase your voice." and persuasiveness!”
"Okay, here's another one who wants to stand up for me... Okay, you go ahead and sing, haha, sing better, don't get your tongue knotted when you sing!" Jiang Kan
"Pfft" Yi Le felt warm in his heart when he heard that classmate Xiao Wang cared so much for him and protected him.
"Okay, Master, look at it, I will definitely not embarrass you!" Wang Yuchang's voice suddenly rose in tone, as happy as a child who got permission from his parents to play in the swimming pool.
"Also, don't play with the nunchucks when walking. I can hear the whirring sound when you wave it, and there are also the sounds of hitting your body a few times, right? You have to concentrate on walking!" After hanging up the phone, Jiang Kan couldn't help but tell the other party.
When we were talking just now, there were no less than seven or eight sounds of sticks hitting hard objects on the phone. Xiao Wang's body was definitely covered in blue and purple and he couldn't run away.
"Hey, you heard all this..." Wang Yuchang put away the nunchuck held in his other hand angrily and inserted it into his butt pocket.
In the past few days, there have been an obvious increase in children and young people holding nunchucks in the streets and alleys. They performed several classic stick-holding movements while chanting in their mouths
"Hmph haha" has become an increasingly popular saying on the streets.
"Beautiful" scenery. Of course, these people will have some bruises or even a few big bumps on their heads, shoulders or arms, but the pain and frustration still do not make them put down the toy in their hands and play with it. What a joy.
Because of this song, the sales of nunchakus that were gathering dust on the counters and warehouses of sporting goods stores suddenly increased countless times, helping them clear their inventory.
There is even a factory in an eastern coastal province that specializes in the production of sporting goods and has adopted "Nunchucks" as their factory song, and has threatened to invest a million dollars to help Jiang Kan promote his song!
It has to be said that the ability to bring goods brought by pop culture is really not just a boast. ...Next, Jiang Kan received a few more calls, but this time it was not other people reporting to him that they wanted to sing nunchucks, but some friends who called to comfort him because they were afraid that he would feel lost after withdrawing from the competition. .
Zhao Yu, Liu Yiliang and Pang Guan from far away in Shanghai also called, very skillfully testing whether he was really no longer worried about not being able to participate.
Mr. Zhang Kuanhou, who was far away in Yanjing, even called him personally to confirm his recovery. His words were full of deep concern for him, which made Jiang Kan feel very moved.
During this period, he also received a special phone call from the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away.
"Huh? What number is this?" A long list of digits that were obviously not Xia Guo's phone number was displayed on the screen of his mobile phone. For a moment, he wondered if this was a scam call, so he pressed mute and waited for it to ring. .
But after a while, it rang stubbornly again, with the same weird number.
"Who is this? So persistent!" Jiang Kan answered the phone impatiently.
"Hi, Jiang, I heard that you broke your leg while dancing on stage? Oh my God, are you okay?" The voice on the phone was from a mature woman in her thirties with a very pleasant voice, and Xia Xia spoke with a translator's accent. The Chinese language puzzled Jiang Kan for a long time when he first picked up the phone.
After thinking for a long time, I remembered that this must be Janice. When she left Xia Country and went back, they exchanged phone numbers, but in a hurry, she forgot to enter them into her address book.
Did she travel thousands of miles to make an overseas phone call this time just to inquire about her health?
