Song Ci's first sleep in his new home was particularly comfortable.
What is the local temperature in Xidu today?
Covered with a quilt weighing five or six kilograms, Song Ci slept until dawn.
When he woke up in the morning, Guokui had jumped to the head of his bed, patting his face gently with his little paws, as if to tell Song Ci to get up.
Song Ci opened his sleepy eyes. Gently moved Guokui's little claws away, and then whispered:
"Guokui, I finally got some rest today, please let me sleep a little longer!"
Guokui doesn't care about that much, he just jumps up and down on Song Ci's pillow.
"If you're hungry, can you wait a little longer?!"
Song Ci was still awakened by Guokui.
He got up, washed up, left the community, and ran around the nearby streets for 5 kilometers.
Although this community in Song Ci was in a bad state before, now that it is under construction, it can be regarded as one of the top high-end communities in the area.
Song Ci ate Erliang Zajiang noodles at a small noodle shop on the roadside, and then received a call from Tang Shi.
"Don't you even sleep in? It's only half past eight!" Song Ci asked.
Tang Shi smiled on the other end of the phone: "I heard you moved to a new home. Congratulations! Take me to your new home sometime!"
Song Ci said cheerfully while making a fuss: "When we separated, I asked you if you wanted to go back to Xidu together. Didn't you say you were busy? Now we are all staggered. We will wait for you to come back to Xidu when you are free. I'll invite you when the time comes...please come and have a meal together in my new home."
Tang Shi on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, she continued: "Actually, I'm in Xidu now."
After talking about Tang Shi, I sent a location to Song Ci.
Tang Shi is now at her father's house, which is only a few kilometers away from Song Ci.
Tang Shi continued: "You are not living in your new home now, are you?"
Song Ci hummed, and Tang Shi on the other end of the phone suddenly made a surprised voice, and then said:
"Are you okay today? I know where your new home is, just wait for me!"
Half an hour later, Song Ci saw Tang Shi riding a shared electric scooter, wearing a pair of sunglasses and wrapped in a white down jacket, parked on the side of the road.
"You are so stupid. You came to me when you said you came to me!" Song Ci walked up and saw Tang Shi holding a bag of food in his hand.
Song Ci glanced at it and found that it should be ribs and fish.
Tang Shi handed the bag of food to Song Ci, pushed up his sunglasses, and then said with a smile: "The pot in your new home hasn't been opened yet, right? You just have time today, so you can cook a meal for me!"
Song Ci raised his hand and tapped Tang Shi, and then led Tang Shi back to his new home.
"Oh... your decoration style is quite good, very homely." Tang Shi looked around the room and said with a smile.
It's still early now, not even 10:00 yet.
Song Ci made Tang Shi a cup of coffee.
Tang Shi came to Song Ci's study, picked up Tian Long Ba Bu and started reading.
"I've already read Chapter 5." Tang Shi said without looking up as his eyes fell on the book.
She had taken off her coat, revealing her beautiful figure.
Song Ci said: "Then do you think it looks good or not?"
Tang Shi then raised his head, glanced at Song Ci, and said:
"This Duan Yu is the protagonist, but there are too many girls appearing in the first few chapters. Your book is not a harem martial arts book, is it?"
Tang Shi said pointedly.
Song Ci was stunned, then hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "This story is not what you think...a simple boy is liked by many girls...you will know after reading below."
Tang Shi rolled her eyes: "Come on, you think I don't know that you guys always eat from the bowl and look at the pot."
The two chatted for a while, and Song Ci's phone rang again.
It was Mimi who communicated with him about work matters.
There are a few endorsements and a few scripts.
So Song Ci held the laptop and went to the side to make a video call with Mimi.
"Boss, we have made an evaluation and found that the current five endorsements... are all absolute first-tier brands in China, and they do not conflict with each other.
“It can also improve your own brand value, so we think these cooperations are all possible.
"But you can't sign for too long, because you are still on the rise, so we think it is best to sign for about two years."
Currently, Song Ci doesn't have many endorsements, so he plans to pick up some more this time.
Mimi estimated that the total endorsement fees from these five endorsement companies would exceed 40 million.
This is the endorsement price that absolutely top domestic artists can get.
Tang Shi was originally watching Tian Long Ba Bu, but when he heard Song Ci talking about his endorsement, he also listened with pricked ears.
After hearing Mimi's quotation, Tang Shi couldn't help but take a breath, and then said with emotion:
"It's really annoying to compare people to each other. I work so hard in filming and earn millions all year round. To be honest, our filming is really not as good as doing variety shows... Variety shows make money so fast."
Song Ci waved his hand at Tang Shi, signaling her not to speak.
But Mimi on the other end of the video was already looking at Song Ci with her ears perked up and a suspicious look on her face.
Song Ci glared at Mimi and told her not to ask about things she shouldn't ask.
Of course, Mimi understood something in her heart. She tactically picked up the water glass in front of her, took a sip of water, and then continued to tell Song Ci about the recent scripts she had received.
Three of them are scripts from the top ten domestic entertainment companies and will be produced in S-level movies next year or the year after.
However, the characters that the other party found Song Ci were all, without exception, villains similar to Song Ci's villain in "Black and White".
"Boss... According to what you mentioned before, we have basically pushed you for roles with similar positioning. But for these three scripts, I personally think that because of the investment and lineup of the other party, they are really awesome. , do you think you should think about it again?"
Mimi flexed her fingers to analyze Song Ci.
After listening to these lineups, Song Ci hesitated for a while, and finally decisively rejected these scripts:
"For the same role, I think one or two is enough. After all, life is only a few decades, and I want to try different things."
This is what Song Ci said.
In fact, the biggest reason for rejection in his heart is that he has too many stories in his mind and wants to film them himself.
After hanging up Mimi's phone, it was already past 11 o'clock.
Then Song Ci went to the kitchen to start the fire, while Tang Shi watched Song Ci cook obediently and seriously.
Half an hour later, looking at the braised fish, tomato and egg soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, and spicy and sour potato shreds placed in front of him, Tang Shi's eyebrows curled up,
She picked up the bowl of rice in front of her, took a bite happily, and then said with full praise: "It must be your craftsmanship, it's so delicious, it goes so well with the meal!"
After a while, she finished a bowl of rice, then rubbed her belly and looked at Song Ci with a distressed look on her face: "I'm going to gain a pound after today's meal. Damn it, but I don't regret it, hehe."
Tang Shi smiled brightly.
Song Ci looked at his green plum's scorching eyes and scratched his head silently.
At this time, there were countless love melodies resounding in his mind, all of which he had never heard before.
"Did something happen between you and Song Hongdou?" Tang Shi suddenly spoke directly.
But after saying this, she stood up, picked up her coat, opened the door, waved at Song Ci, showing a row of neat teeth:
"I have to catch the high-speed train at 3 o'clock later, so I won't stay here any longer. You can wash the dishes yourself!"
Song Ci stood up and wanted to go down to deliver Tang Shi, but Tang Shi pushed him into the house: "No need to send me off, I asked my assistant to wait for me outside the community."
So Song Ci had no choice but to nod.
He could see the emotion in Tang Shi's eyes.
Song Ci sighed slightly.
Guokui jumped onto the table from the side at this moment, taking small bites of the fish left by the two of them.
Song Ci went over and gave Guokui a gentle tap on the head, and then said, "Guokui, do you think I am a scumbag or not?"
Guokui meowed twice, looking at Song Ci with eyes full of contempt.
Song Ci's eyes fell on the coffee table nearby.
There is a book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" placed above.
The book just happened to turn to a page, and the title of this page is, "How can an actor fall in love with a character after playing a role, or how can he fall in love with someone when he meets someone?" 】
…
…
The elimination rounds of the Poetry Conference have begun in full swing.
Song Ci and his assistant Liao Jie were sitting backstage at CCTV.
Liao Jie brought a banana to Song Ci and asked him to replenish his strength.
Liao Jie smiled and said: "Boss, this is the first time I see nervousness on your face. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. You should be very confident in yourself!"
Song Ci took a bite of the banana and said, "This is the knockout round after all. Appropriate nervousness is a sign of respect for our competition."
At this time, a PD from the organizing committee led a cameraman in and interviewed Song Ci.
The main thing is to ask questions like, "Are you nervous, what are your expectations for your PK opponent, and do you have confidence?"
When Song Ci faced the camera, he gave some official answers.
It's all lackluster.
Song Ci and his opponent Wu Mingxi will probably appear at around 8:30 pm.
The PK of a total of 64 players was carried out over 4 days, with 16 players every day.
Song Ci and Wu Mingxi are about to start a formal showdown on this first day.
Sitting in the lounge at this moment, Song Ci could already hear the cheers from the audience from the stage a few walls away, which fully demonstrated the grand occasion of this poetry conference.
It's still some time before going on stage.
Liao Jie took out her mobile phone and clicked directly into the live broadcast room of the poetry conference, and found that the number of people watching the live broadcast now exceeded 100 million:
"Boss, the attention our competition has received is terrifying!"
Song Ci seemed very calm: "It's normal... After all, this is a grand event held every four years in our country!"
Song Ci also started reading along with Liao Jie.
The contestants came on stage one by one, and they all produced masterpieces that they had racked their brains on.
There are quite a few of them that make Song Ci couldn't help but feel emotional. They are indeed very well written.
Soon, it was finally the turn of Song Ci and Wu Mingxi to appear.
When the host started to announce the curtain, the audience was already excited and started whispering.
Because judging from the first three rounds of competition, Song Ci's superb talent on this stage has deeply impressed everyone.
So everyone is looking forward to Song Ci's showdown with Wu Mingxi in this round, and what kind of wonderful poems he will come up with.
Gu Xingchen, who was sitting in the first row, smiled and said to a few people around him:
"Song Ci and Wu Mingxi's topic seems to be bamboo, right?"
Qin Shiwen on the side said happily: "It is indeed bamboo."
When everyone said this, they all looked at Yuan Sizhi, the president of the Shangjing Poetry Association, who was sitting in the second row.
Because one of the most famous poems about bamboo in contemporary China was written by Yuan Sizhi.
He wrote it more than thirty years ago.
It was with this poem about bamboo that Yuan Sizhi became famous in the Chinese poetry world, thus establishing his status in the world.
At this moment, being watched by many eyes, Yuan Sizhi calmly nodded slightly to everyone.
Wu Mingxi was the first to appear.
He recited a five-character quatrain praising the virtue of bamboo remaining green all year round.
It immediately aroused applause from the audience.
"Yes, the writing is really good, it's really unconventional!"
"I never expected that Teacher Wu could write such an unconventional piece of work besides so many excellent bamboo chanting works. You are worthy of all of us!"
Everyone praised it.
This makes everyone look forward to the appearance of Song Ci even more.
Song Ci wore a specially made Hanfu today.
It is a long green and white gown.
His hair was also tied into a bun, and he looked exactly like an ancient scholar.
He stood on the stage and bowed 90 degrees to everyone.
Then he slowly read out his today's work, "Bamboo and Stone".
Stay firm on the green hills and never relax,
The roots were originally in the broken rock,
Still strong despite countless hardships,
The wind blows from east to west, north and south.
This poem praises the inner spirit of Jinzhu rooted in broken rocks and fully expresses Jinzhu's tenacious vitality and resolute character.
No matter the wind blows or rains, no matter how frosty or snowy it is, the lush green bamboos still stand proudly. The bamboos naturally have their tenacity and upright spirit.
As soon as this poem came out, everyone at the scene suddenly brightened up and cheered.
"Good! It's well written. It's hard work but it's still strong, no matter how wind blows from east to west, north or south! This sentence is so wonderfully written!"
"In this poem, I seem to see an arrogant old man standing on the top of the mountain trying his best to meet again. He is arrogant and impoverished, but he has his own noble sentiments!"
"If I have to choose between Song poetry and Teacher Wu's works, I would choose Song poetry. I personally like this one better!"
Everyone praised every word.
Yuan Sizhi's brows frowned slightly.
The song "Bamboo and Stone" from the Song Dynasty gave him a sense of crisis.
This poem "Bamboo and Stone" seems to shake his already recognized status as the first contemporary bamboo poem.
At the same time, in the live broadcast room, netizens were also excitedly praising it.
At this time, with the host's order, everyone began to vote.
The entire voting time is very short, only one minute.
Not long after, the final results came out, and Song Ci won the victory with more than 20 million votes.
Wu Mingxi walked up with a smile on his face, hugged Song Ci, and said with emotion: "The young people of your generation are so amazing, and we old guys are useless!"
That being said, there was no trace of anger on Wu Mingxi's face because he had lost the game.
He simply came to enjoy this competition and show off his poetry and songs.
He is already satisfied with being able to reach the top 64.
Song Ci also smiled and took a photo with this senior whose work appeared in the textbook.
At this point, Song Ci has officially entered the top 32 of the Poetry Conference.
The game starts with the top 32. We will not draw questions for everyone in advance.
Wait until the next three days when all the top 32 players are decided.
Everyone will start randomly selecting opponents during the live broadcast.
And at the same time, PK questions are also drawn.
The game is then broadcast live directly.
There is only half an hour left for the PK players to come up with their works.
This means that starting from the top 32, this game will be a very high-intensity game.
