Chapter 129 Progress bar shows intimacy
When Tong Fangming first saw Bai Youlou and Long Ziqiang, he thought to himself, "I can tell from the way they stand that these two are ridiculously strong."

He was a rookie at that time, and it was like he met a max-level boss right after leaving the novice village.

It really opened my eyes!

The shock it brought to him is still impressive to this day.

Oh yes, I was also "teased" by these two hooligans.

Tong Fangming originally thought that after winning the "Tomorrow's Star Show" and officially debuting, and with the support of the signing company, he quickly established a foothold in the entertainment industry. After seeing Bai Youlou again, he would not be as stupid as he was at the beginning.

How should I put it? It's not a story about a brave man defeating a demon king, but something like: I'm standing in front of you, and you ask me how much I look like before.

Some kids, when their grades improve, can't wait to show off to their elders.

Of course, adults are more complicated and have other emotions.

So Tong Fangming ran over here after the rehearsal.

As a result, nothing seems to have changed.
It’s not that Bai Youlou’s attitude towards him was that bad. After seeing who the person was, he recognized Tong Fangming and treated him quite well.

Bai Youlou: This guy is quite interesting and a nice person. By the way, do you still drink before singing?
Yeah. It's pretty much the same as when I was backstage at "The Rising Star".

Yes, it's almost the same.

Bai Youlou's attitude remained the same, which made Tong Fangming feel a little frustrated.

He felt that no matter whether he was a greenhorn who knew nothing or an already famous original singer, in Bai Youlou's eyes, there was no difference.

Hey? What's wrong with this kid?
When he came, he was full of energy and looked expectant.

After just a few words, his spirit and energy dropped visibly.

This made Bai Youlou a little confused, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand that was pressed against Zhang Xiaorong's thigh.

He, Bai Youlou, is a good person~
What if this guy has a crush on Zhang Xiaorong? There is no grudge between them, so there is no need to provoke him, right?

It's the same if you touch it after the person leaves.

However, Tong Fangming didn't notice when he withdrew his hand. Instead, Zhang Xiaorong glanced at him.

There was a slight look of doubt in his eyes.

At first, she felt a little embarrassed and resistant to Bai Youlou's daily behavior of taking advantage of her, the kind of person who would quickly pull back when he touched her.

But she still felt embarrassed later on, but she got used to it and no longer shrinks back.

If Bai Youlou didn't find some reason to take advantage of her one day, she would feel strange.

so.
What's going on? Don't you want to touch it anymore?
Bai Youlou: No rush, touch it later.

"Brother, which one are you going to choose from the three songs we're rehearsing?" Tong Fangming suddenly asked.

Bai Youlou thought about it, "Then I have to choose the best one. Which one do you think can beat you?"

This answer made the other party scratch his head subconsciously, "Uh"

It’s not that he doesn’t want to “expose intelligence”, but mainly because Tong Fangming feels that he can’t defeat any of them.

The chorus song he brought this time was a relatively fresh and atmospheric song. Before coming to the "Singer" program, he had actually practiced it many times with his chorus female singers.

This song is certainly good on its own, but if it collides head-on with Bai Youlou on a stage in a competitive music competition, it will most likely be crushed.

However, Tong Fangming is really interesting! The more I think about it, the less likely it is, but he is still excited!
Suddenly, he showed a desperate attitude, saying things like "I will definitely give it my all", "Brother, just wait and see!", "."

Bai Youlou made me feel like the villain in an anime, while he was the protagonist.

Even though he was a complete noob, he still rushed over shouting "friendship" and "bond".

Good, you have guts!

No, this kid won't suddenly explode and let him do it today, right?

This strange thought really troubled Bai Youlou for two seconds.

Fortunately, he has always been strong inside.

Impossible, buddy himself is the protagonist.

After Tong Fangming left, Zhang Xiaorong unexpectedly took the initiative to ask, "Which song should we choose? I think he seems to be quite motivated, how about the song "A Bridge of Fate"?"

"I actually regretted bringing this song out. Every time you hit a high note, I had to follow you with my butt."

Bai Youlou was not exaggerating. Just now during the rehearsal, Zhang Xiaorong seemed a little excited and the pitch was too high, so he almost couldn't keep up.

He put on the mask of pain on the spot.

For the sake of his own "safety" in the future, Bai Youlou thought it would be better not to sing this song, as he really could not beat Zhang Xiaorong in the high notes.

"Actually, I quite like that song." Zhang Xiaorong said lightly.

Hey~
Is there a disagreement?
Lao Zhou, Long Ziqiang and the others immediately pricked up their ears. This was so rare!
Teacher Zhang actually had a disagreement with Brother Lou? !

To be honest, I have only seen this scene when Zhang Xiaorong coaxed Bai Youlou to eat in the company, but I have never seen her be so "disobedient" to Bai Youlou at other times.

And it came so suddenly that people couldn't help but want to find out more.

Bai Youlou also felt something was wrong and looked at Zhang Xiaorong, but the girl didn't look at him. Her eyes were looking elsewhere, as if she was in a daze.

Be angry secretly and let him guess the reason himself?

Girl's thoughts
Bai Youlou said that even he couldn't figure out what was wrong with Zhang Xiaorong for a while.

He could only look at Lao Zhou and others fiercely.

"Aqiang, let's go out and smoke a cigarette."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go out for a walk. It's still early before the recording starts, so let's go for a stroll."

Wu Muqun, the new guy, didn't have that strong of eyesight, but he was directly pulled away by Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang.

The lounge here is more private and there won't be any filming by the production crew. Once they left, Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong were the only ones left in the room.

The atmosphere is different from before.
Bai Youlou, who still didn't understand why Zhang Xiaorong was "angry", decided not to think about it anymore.

Break all laws with one force!

"Are your nails newly done? They look nice."

He started to act like a hooligan very skillfully, picking up the other person's little hand and placing it in his palm, as if he really wanted to observe Zhang Xiaorong's newly done manicure.

"I did this while I was putting on makeup just now. Does it look good?"

"It looks great! It suits you very well. So, which one should we choose?"

"It's all fine. If 'A Bridge of Fate' is too difficult, why don't we choose 'A Beautiful Myth'? Anyway, we'll always have a chance to sing it in the future."

Huh? !

All of a sudden, it changed back again?

They say you shouldn't try to guess what a girl is thinking, but this is a little too outrageous.
Bai Youlou was puzzled, but he vaguely felt a little bit~
So he let go of Zhang Xiaorong's hand, moved his butt, and created a little distance between him and her. "Teacher Zhang is really considerate."

This time, Zhang Xiaorong ignored him, lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.

understood!

Bai Youlou quickly moved closer and put his arms around Zhang Xiaorong's waist.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Although she was ruthlessly pushed away, the slightly red expression on Zhang Xiaorong's face said it all: You have found the switch.

Bai Youlou did not use such a big action as hugging her waist again. Instead, he slowly placed his hand on Zhang Xiaorong's leg, and then found a random topic to start chatting with her.

This time, he was not pushed away, and the other party began to respond by biting her lips.
After trying a few times, Bai Youlou found that the limit of physical contact that Zhang Xiaorong could accept at the moment was putting his hand on her leg through her skirt.

She would feel uncomfortable if Bai Youlou moved his hands a little too vigorously or tried to get under her skirt for direct skin contact.

The funniest thing is that when Bai Youlou sat next to her, she herself was quite eager to have some contact with Bai Youlou.

Otherwise, like what happened just now, you leave? Then I will be angry!
To put it in a more outrageous way, Bai Youlou felt as if there was a progress bar on this girl's head.

It shows intimacy.

You have to unlock it slowly.

At the beginning, when I touched her little hand, she would immediately pull it back.

However, the unlocking speed is indeed a bit slow. It took several months to go from touching hands to touching legs.

Is it slow?

very slow!

Interesting?
It's pretty damn fun!
Men generally find it hard to resist things like progress bars.

For example, if a man were asked to push a large rock up a hill every day, over and over again, he would probably find it boring.

But if you give him a progress bar or experience bar, every time you push the stone up, the experience bar will increase and level up.

Then pushing the stone becomes a very meaningful thing, which makes people push it very enthusiastically.

What does he get after upgrading? He can push bigger rocks up the hill!

This is just playing online games!
Bai Youlou now feels like he is playing a game in the real world. Although Zhang Xiaorong's progress bar is rising slowly, it is indeed increasing visibly to the naked eye.

This wonderful feeling, like leveling up by defeating monsters, can make an old pervert like Bai Youlou patiently put down that little bit of "strategy" instead of just forcing others to do it all at once.

Girls are indeed very strange creatures.

There is someone like Zhang Xiaorong who is reserved, but she will give Bai Youlou obvious progress, allowing him to work hard to "conquer" her.

There is also a huge contrast like Jiang Yuanchu, where the inside and outside of the RV are completely two different people.

Oh yes, by the way, we can add An Luning. Bai Youlou still hasn’t figured out which category she belongs to.

But she is very brave!

Another person I have had more contact with recently is Liu Manli.

This big sister Bai Youlou feels like there is a progress bar above her head, which makes her have a lot of fun.

Of course, this is considered the "female protagonist" with a plot in the "online game". For other girls, Bai Youlou usually turns on the one-click speed pass mode.

Anyway, after Lao Zhou and others came back from hanging out outside for a long time, they found that the two men had "reconciled as before."

The sour smell of love is so choking that it makes people breathless.

"Where did Aqiang go?"

"He bought a bottle of wine and said he was sending it to his little brother Tong Fangming."

"Then he has to buy Erguotou, that's what the guy likes."

“Erguotou?”

Seeing Zhang Xiaorong's curious look, Bai Youlou shared with them the story of Tong Fangming "driving recklessly while drunk".

Plus, this little guy actually won the championship in the end, and the story suddenly became three-dimensional.

Long Ziqiang seems rough, but he is actually a relatively delicate person.

When they met their old friend again, he didn't buy any expensive gifts, but just took a small bottle of Erguotou from the convenience store outside the TV station.

He strolled over and delivered it to Tong Fangming.

After opening the door, she stuffed it into his arms and said, "Come on! Don't be too stressed. If it doesn't work, we can just have a bite."

Receiving a bottle of Erguotou as a gift may seem a little strange.

But Tong Fangming felt warmed.

Of course, he definitely can't drink alcohol. He is no longer the newbie who needed to drink to give himself courage to go on stage.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You should prepare yourself and we can drink together later. Brother Lou has a cabinet full of good wines. If you go, you will definitely be able to open several bottles."

Bai Youlou and Lao Zhou rarely attacked Long Ziqiang for helping his opponent boost morale before the game.

He even gave Zhang Xiaorong a lesson on this matter.

"You can watch more of this guy's live performances later. He is a typical emotional singer. He tells a strong story as soon as he opens his mouth."

If this kind of singer becomes popular, it would be really amazing, but he also has innate limitations.

If there was no chorus today and Tong Fangming went on stage alone, it would be hard to say what place he would have ranked after the competition.

"Brother Lou, what about me? What type of singer am I?" Long Ziqiang couldn't help but ask.

"You? You're a bar singer, you smell like a prostitute. By the way, when I finish filming the movie and release an album for Jiang Yuanchu, you can also sing and dance a few songs. I really want to see you jumping on the stage and playing a record."

Although this was just a joke, Long Ziqiang was really moved.

Unlike Zhang Xiaorong who specializes in singing, Long Ziqiang wants to get involved in everything in the entertainment industry.

From singer to actor, now he is even eyeing singing and dancing.
However, his appearance is still too limiting. If he really wants to sing and dance, not to mention that he is not as pleasing to the eye as Jiang Yuanchu, he is still an eyesore!
After several hours of waiting, the recording is finally about to begin.

Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong finally decided to sing the song "Beautiful Myth".

After all, this is a competition, a contest. Although "Because of Love" is also very good, it lacks a bit of momentum.

This song is more suitable for some evening party stages
As for "A Bridge of Fate", Bai Youlou felt that he might as well keep it hidden for a while, or find some unlucky guy to sell it to, and let him go and sing with his butt tucked between his legs.

After the recording officially started, the idlers like Lao Zhou in the shooting lounge had to move to the audience seats.

On the one hand, they look a bit ugly to the audience, and on the other hand, it seems like a joke to have so many people sitting in the lounge.

In the end, there were only Bai Youlou, Zhang Xiaorong, and the singer's agent He Shanshan.

It can be seen that Xiao He is quite nervous. In fact, she and Zhang Xiaorong have a very good relationship.

But it is impossible not to be nervous when facing Bai Youlou, a legendary figure who created so many legends in a short period of time.

Especially this gentleman, he really dares to open his mouth!
That review is really...
Yu Zhan went on stage to continue to be the guest host. Bai Youlou said, "This big brother hasn't been eliminated yet. Is it just to keep him as the host? This host is not that good."

He Shanshan: I don’t dare to answer.

Big sister Li Ying went on stage to sing, and Bai Youlou "praised" her.

"As expected of a senior, your strength is quite impressive!"

"Does Teacher Bai think highly of Sister Ying?" He Shanshan asked after she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, with her temper and behavior, she can't survive without such strong strength."

He Shanshan: Blanch!
It is said that Big Sister Li Ying is outspoken and says whatever she wants to say. Today, when I met this gentleman, I was really enlightened!

However, thinking about what Bai Youlou had done on the variety show stage before, I felt that he should restrain himself.

After Tong Fangming came on stage, Bai Youlou was even more ruthless towards his "acquaintance": "This kid didn't drink this time, so he can only perform at 80% of his ability. He needs to take a couple of sips to get into the perfect state. But the song he chose is average, huh? He wrote it himself? It's still pretty average."

He Shanshan: Brother, how about we keep quiet for a while?

It can be seen that this guy really holds a grudge!

Bai Youlou returned all the "comments" that Zhang Xiaorong had suffered on this show in one breath today.

Even super doubled!

However, it is time to quiet down because Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong are about to go on stage.

"Dream person, familiar face"

"You are the tenderness I am waiting for"

"."

"Love is the only eternal myth in the world"

"Ebbs and flows never regret the appointment of true love"

"Several painful entanglements, many dark nights of struggle"

"Hold your hands tightly so that I and you will never be separated again"

"."

This song is the theme song of the movie "The Myth". There are actually two versions. One version is sung by two powerful professional singers, and the other version is sung by the male and female protagonists.

However, the former was unexpectedly defeated by the latter, even though he was far superior to the other in singing skills and strength.

Because it’s a love song.

Feelings are more important than skills.

Moreover, the former does not sound like a love song, but rather like two masters fighting in a ring.
Another similar song is "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", which directly broke the voice because it started at a high pitch. But also because of this broken voice, the feeling of struggling in despair and gritting teeth to move forward came out.

Later I heard a singer with better skills singing up the pitch, but it didn't have any flavor at all.

So if Bai Youlou gave a love song like "Beautiful Myth" to Zhang Xiaorong and asked her to collaborate with other people.

The biggest problem of this girl in singing the song is probably about to be ruthlessly exposed.
The only one left is Bai Youlou.

A singer in the backstage joked about the truth: "Xiao Rong's performance today was the one that had the most WeChat steps in all the episodes of Singer! She was like a butterfly, circling around Bai Youlou."

"Her dancing skills are so strong. It didn't seem like she did any big moves, but her beauty still came out all at once."

"It really does look like dancing, so graceful and beautiful. The stage effect is amazing!"

"Treasure it! This is a special edition. We can't see it if Bai Youlou isn't here."

Since Bai Youlou can make fun of others, others can naturally make fun of him as well.

You always have to pay for what you did.
At this time, Lao Zhou and others who were acting as the atmosphere group in the audience were cheering crazily, but the new little brother Wu Mugun suddenly asked a very strange question.

"Brother Qiang, Director Bai is so famous in the film industry, and he's also the winner of the Cannes Film Festival. Shouldn't he try to participate in fewer variety shows and maintain his mystery and status?"

Good question.

Long Ziqiang applauded without even turning his head, and said casually: "Because he is Bai Youlou~ He can do whatever he wants, how can he be constrained by his identity as a director."
