The famous utensil of the superstar

Chapter 54

When Qi Feng closed the folder, the sky outside the office had already completely darkened, the twilight merged, and only his room was left with lights on in the whole tall building.

His silhouette was reflected in the glass window, his face was more resolute and cold than a year ago, his sharp features showed no expression, his pupils were dark and deep, and he looked more inaccessible than before.

He picked up the photo frame on the table, stared at the man on it who was cross-legged and hugged Fat Fengfeng with his eyes curled up while smiling, counting the time silently.

One year and one month, he has been separated from his wife for so long.

Over the past year or so, too many things have happened in S City.

Qi Feng used all the connections in the Qi family to suppress all the false reports about Luo Qiubai. Every media that participated in the reporting back then publicly apologized to Luo Qiubai. In the morning, I thought I would use this news to make me popular again, but no one knew why he was found out by the police for bribing officials, organizing silver sales, and money laundering in less than three days. , his acting career was completely ruined, and after that, he was exposed again. Three days before the Luo Qiubai scandal broke out, a huge amount of money from unknown sources suddenly came into his account, and on the afternoon of the day when the huge amount of money arrived, his A "kissing photo" was sent to the mailbox.

The outside world was in an uproar. Wang Chen was desperate and cried bitterly in front of the media. He finally admitted that he had been bribed to release fake news on purpose.

The evidence was conclusive, and everyone suddenly realized that the matter between Luo Qiubai and Meng Liangchen was a well-designed bureau. If there was really such a mastermind behind the scenes, then in just two days, there would be so many fierce rumors about Luo Qiubai. Suddenly there was a reason for the material being shaken out one by one.

Coupled with Wang Chen insisting that this is "fake news", the relationship between Luo Qiubai and Meng Liangchen suddenly became complicated and confusing.

After the scandal of repeating others' opinions passed, many people also began to suspect. From the very beginning, the media and forums insisted that Luo Qiubai was a mistress and Meng Liangchen was a scumbag with two legs. The biggest scale is to feed ice cream, no matter how intimate it is.

From another point of view, it is indeed a bit too intimate between two men, but it cannot be concluded that the two must have an affair, not to mention the three parties involved, Luo Qiubai disappeared, and Meng Liangchen remained silent , the only Su Qingliu who can give an absolute answer is still dead, and the relationship between these three people is even more difficult to determine.

In the beginning, as soon as such doubts came out on the Internet, people who were extremely "anti-Sanism" would be sprayed to death, but as the evidence of the huge sum of money in Wang Chen's account and the leaking email came out, people with reverse thinking became more and more concerned. more and more.

There are so many right and wrong in the entertainment industry, how many truths can be seen through at a glance?From the beginning to the end, one party kept complaining, and none of the three parties, including Su Qingliu's family, came forward to explain. This kind of one-sided thing is too absolute, and it makes people feel a little fake.

Just when the trend of the topic began to change, Qi Feng hired a large number of cutting-edge IT personnel regardless of cost and energy. After nearly half a year, he finally found out all the people involved in the scandal, incitement, and unreasonable conduct against Luo Qiubai. The "netizens" who attacked all belonged to the same "water army" company, and even what each person said and how much they would be paid after successfully running the scandal were dug out.

Thousands of sailors, hundreds of thousands of IP addresses, compared one by one, everyone thought Qi Feng was crazy, and old man Qi even said cruelly, "You help Luo Qiubai just to slap me in the face, you Don't enter the Qi family's door if you are still stubborn!", but Qi Feng was still unmoved.

After this long list was exposed, there was another huge wave on the Internet.

This world will always be like this, spectators will not really ask the bottom line to study whether a gossip is true or not, they only need to watch the fun, once the person with the right to speak controls the direction of public opinion, it will undoubtedly be a crazy brainwashing, "Everyone" It is said that Luo Qiubai is wrong, so whoever doubts it will become a "little three party", and the eighteen generations of ancestors will be cursed by thousands of sailors. At this time, how many people will stand up and how many people will believe Luo Qiubai? Qiu Bai was the victim.

For a time, the debate about Luo Qiubai was no longer a one-sided "little three" speech. Those who were interested re-watched his journey to stardom, his parents died, he worked alone, and his reputation for hard work and dedication was well-known. His background in the same period, if he really harmed Su Qingliu's superior scheming, why did Meng Liangchen, the great film star, not help him for so many years, but only let him act in movies after Su Qingliu died for so many years, And it was "Song of the Setting Sun" filmed by Su Qingliu back then, but any couple who are in a normal relationship would never want to have anything to do with their ex-lover, right?

The scolding has gradually decreased a lot. Although the public still has doubts about Luo Qiubai because of the photos that have been exposed, everything is already moving in a good direction.

With Luo Qiubai's retirement, this scandal finally disappeared, and no one mentioned it anymore.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door, and the secretary pushed the door open.

Qi Feng recovered from the memory, put the photo frame on the table, and frowned displeasedly, "What's wrong?"

The secretary is full of curiosity about the photo frame on the boss's desk. She has seen the boss holding it and looking at it countless times, but every time she appears, the boss puts on the frame as if disturbed, showing a cold look, making her She didn't dare to take a step forward even if she wanted to see it.

"Mr. Qi, the sponsors and the conservatory in the United States have already contacted. The detailed plan and process of this competition are in this document. Please read it."

Qi Feng took the folder and glanced at it, staring at the word "United States" on it, without saying a word.

Now these two words have become his sweetest torment. It has nothing to do with this country. He has always hated any gringo stuff. It's just because there is his wife there, so he even dreams about this place. .

For a whole year, he and his wife didn't have a phone call, or even sent a text message. He thought that if he was hooked by this furnace for the first time when they met, he might have forgotten Luo Qiubai's voice.

He deliberately changed his cell phone number, and even sealed off the wedding house. He completely isolated himself from his wife's sight, and tried to stay away from him as much as possible. Even if he knew that he went to the evil America, he pretended that he never knew. Air tickets are so cheap, and they are not as free as Furonggou's days, but he has never been there once, and he can avoid the possibility of connecting flights to the United States even if he goes on a business trip.

He didn't know if his wife had practiced him on his own initiative, and he didn't dare to think about it. He was afraid that once he heard Luo Qiubai's voice, he would not be able to control himself and would catch him back and tie him with an iron chain.

Zhang Xu, who died of AIDS once, invited him to drink. When he brought up this matter, he was so surprised that he spit out a mouthful of wine, "Is there a hole in your head!? Fuck, Qi Feng, how old are you, and you still play with your wife I don't even know what to say about the game of 'I don't care who bows first!' Coax your daughter-in-law back!?"

Qi Feng looked at him coldly, "You know what the hell."

What you promise to your wife must be done, even if it is a second less, this is the bottom line of being a husband, you think everyone takes off their pants like you, no matter if they are daughters-in-law or not, they are all fuckin' nonsense! ?

At the beginning he promised to let Luo Qiu go in vain, and he couldn't easily go back on his word if he gave him freedom.If it wasn't for him not protecting his wife well, the old man's schemes would have been impossible, and Luo Qiubai would not have been ruined and scarred, and had no choice but to leave.

These are all his faults, he is reluctant to make Luo Qiubai feel uncomfortable, and he has no face to call him before his wife's scandal is resolved, sometimes he thinks, fuck it, he will buy a plane ticket to the United States now Catch him back, press him on the bed and give him a hard X, and teach him to leave without saying goodbye.

But his reason is still there. He knows that once he finds Luo Qiubai, it means that the old man has found him too. Without the power to completely trap the old man, he no longer dared to joke about his wife's safety.

A year is too long, and he counts the days to survive every day. He passed by the house where the two lived several times, and he couldn't help but go in. He sat there all night, holding his mobile phone and thinking for a long time. He didn't dial the familiar number.

At that time in Italy, he didn't remember it. Now he can recite it backwards, but he dare not hit it...

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi?"

The secretary called out in a low voice, and Qi Feng came back to his senses, with the corners of his mouth tightly tightened, "Notify the entourage, we will leave tomorrow, and you are responsible for notifying them of the air ticket and the things that need to be prepared."

This time, it was just an accident that the overseas stage of the singer contest was set in the United States.

He was only on a business trip, and he definitely wasn't going to arrest his wife, so it wasn't a violation of the agreement, and it had nothing to do with the husband's duties. His wife would have no reason to blame him for breaking his promise.

Walking out of the office building, the driver was already waiting for him.

The tall buildings standing among the landmarks of the city are shrouded in night, and the pure white neon lights at the entrance form a huge plaque: Liu Bai International Entertainment Investment Company. This is a brand new entertainment empire built by one person.

The car drove all the way, driving in the night to the nursing home on the outskirts of the city.

Qi Feng took a cup of old ginseng soup that the servant had prepared, walked in slowly, and pushed open the door of the VIP ward.

Inside lay an old man with a sallow complexion but still sharp eyes. He coughed non-stop, leaned against the head of the bed and read a newspaper, and when he saw Qi Feng walking in, his face darkened immediately.

"Grandpa." Qi Feng called out expressionlessly, walked to the chair next to him and sat down, put the soup aside, "I'll come to see you."

Old Man Qi coughed and sneered, "Look at me? You still see me as a grandfather in your eyes now? You've disappointed me so much!"

"Leave the serious business at home and deal with the filthy entertainment industry. Don't you know how disgusting the people are? Cough cough... cough... the real estate industry and the textile industry at home are all Decent work, don’t you even want the shame of being a human being in this industry!?”

"Managing Kunlun's real estate and textiles has nothing to do with me." Qi Feng said coldly, "Although I am the largest shareholder of Kunlun now, I have already resigned from the position of general manager. Who do you want to be the chairman of the board?" Just find someone, I'm just a shareholder, just get the dividends, I'm not your soldier, you have no right to order me."

"Cough...cough cough...I'm your grandpa!"

Qi Feng nodded expressionlessly, "Of course I know that you are my grandfather, otherwise I wouldn't come to fulfill my duty of support every week. Don't worry, no matter how your health is, I will always be filial to you, but I'm already thirty , I don’t need a guardian to make decisions for me, and I’m not your tool, if you want a child, I have to find one, so don’t worry so much, it’s not good for your health.”

During this year, he swallowed more than one-third of the shares in the old man's hands, plus what his father left and what he originally owned, he has completely controlled the Kunlun Consortium, and the old man's minions did not dare to reach out to him casually. , he became the No.1 of the Qi family, and he also saw through the old man's purpose.

What he wants is nothing more than an obedient tool, as long as he does not act according to his will, he will spare no effort to destroy all those who stand in his way, Luo Qiubai is like this, and so is he.

So he tried every means to swallow up half of the Qi family, holding most of the shares but never working for the old man again.The shares in the company belong to him, and the family property belongs to him. If the old man wants to find someone to inherit the pitiful little thing in his hands, it depends on whether he is willing or not.

Now Qi Feng has the final say on this family.

"Presumptuous! Cough... The Qi family has never been involved in the entertainment industry. I was made sick by Luo Qiubaicai. Now you want to leave your family because of a man who threw you away!"

Qi Feng raised the corner of his mouth, "If you do less harm to others and accumulate virtue in your mouth, I believe your health will be much better than now."

"What you are worried about now is probably not the family, but who will give you a grandson if I don't come back, and who will be your pawn. Unfortunately, I have been doing it for 30 years, and I am tired of it now. As a grandson, I only need to fulfill my duty of support." Enough is enough, the law does not stipulate that the grandson should be the puppet of the grandfather, in the future you will continue to engage in your real estate and textiles, and I will run my entertainment company.

"You——! You're going to let the Qi family die!? I didn't do anything for your own good! I really regret that I didn't treat Luo Qiubai harder and cut off your back! If I still have a son and grandson , cough cough... Do you think you can still be so arrogant!? Don't forget, I am the elder in this family!"

"But you are no longer in charge of this family." Qi Feng's face darkened completely, he stood up and stared at him unblinkingly, and said, "Grandpa, what you have done is enough for me to remember forever, if you are still obsessed with it, I won't Mind to make public all the things you have done to Luo Qiubai. When the Kunlun Consortium is over, but Liu Bai Entertainment will still be there, the money of the Qi family will be indispensable, and I am not afraid of losing my reputation, but you are a famous philanthropist ’ But if you use such dirty means to harm a junior, if you say it, you may lose your reputation for the rest of your life.”

"You—!" The old man stroked his chest angrily, coughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Qi Feng patted his chest for him, and brought him a cup of ginseng tea. After helping him calm down, he picked up his coat and stood up.

"Grandpa, don't force me to go this far. I hope you live a long life, and I hope you can do what you want."

"I'm going to fly to the United States tomorrow morning to prepare for the company's singer competition. Grandpa, I'll come and see you when I come back."

After saying this, he left the ward, and when he heard that Qi Feng was really obsessed with being involved in the entertainment industry, the old man's face was distorted with anger, but there was nothing he could do, Qi Feng was no longer what he was a year ago The Qi Feng in the past, if he still had a little childishness in the past, then he is so decisive now that no one will stop him from doing what he wants to do.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qi Feng and his company boarded the flight to California.

*****

On the second day after the exam, Luo Qiubai took Tuantuan and followed Wu Bin to his exclusive recording studio.

This is the first time he has entered a recording studio, and it is also the first time he has seen so many top-notch equipment. He has been half in class and half self-study for more than a year. Although his vocal level is still not very good compared with professional ones, but for himself But it is already a leap forward, at least now I understand some of these things, so I won't be ashamed by opening my mouth.

Wu Bin's status in the music world is transcendent, and being able to see the master's exclusive music territory, Luo Qiubai's mind is both excited and apprehensive. He was praised by the old man in a daze before, and he still hasn't recovered. Looking at his The facial expression, Mr. Wu Bin chuckled, and the wrinkles on his face piled up, which was much more cordial than in class.

"Are you wondering why I asked you to record a song?"

Luo Qiubai froze for a moment, nodded embarrassingly, "Mmm", Tuantuan moved twice in his arms, and blinked at Wu Bin twice with his big eyes, which was surprisingly consistent with his father's expression.

The old man smiled, pinched the little guy's face with his hands, then found a chair and sat down, raised a finger and said, "First, your basic knowledge is really poor, and you have no skills at all in singing." , if you are judged according to the skills taught in the lectures of the conservatory, I would be kind to you if you fail."

Luo Qiubai's scalp went numb for a while, and the old man raised a second finger under his ashamed gaze, "Second, your song writing can only be considered so-so, although the tune is catchy, it's too good to be true." Simple, even people without any background in music theory can probably make up a sentence or two by humming casually. And your lyrics, except that they rhyme, are no different from many bad street love songs. It can be said that the songs you wrote are also It's smelly and vulgar, and it doesn't reflect the professional qualities that a top student in a conservatory of music should possess."

After hearing this, Luo Qiubai's face turned red with embarrassment, and he grabbed his pants but couldn't say a word.

Although he is self-aware of his level, it is still too shocking to be criticized as useless by the godfather of the international music scene...

"Uh...Mr. Wu, are you embarrassed to scold so harshly at school, so you asked me to follow you here on purpose? I...that, I will correct it in the future, thank you."

His bewildered and somewhat dazed look made the old man unable to hold back his laughter. When he smiled, Tuantuan followed suit, although the little guy didn't know what the point of the smile was.

Wu Bin patted Luo Qiubai's shoulder, "What kind of person do you think you are, and I still need to save face for you in school?"

Luo Qiubai lowered his head in shame.

"but……"

The old man dragged his voice, and Luo Qiubai raised his head in doubt, and he heard him say, "Skills can be learned the day after tomorrow, and practice makes perfect in arranging music and composing lyrics, but only the true feelings and the appeal of the voice can't be copied, and you happened to do this Two o'clock."

"If you rate your song, it will be one point for singing, two points for composition, three points for lyrics, and one hundred points for emotion and voice. The most important thing is that although your song is not very well written, but I like."

One sentence made Luo Qiubai raise his eyebrows in surprise, "You asked me to come to the recording studio for such a small reason?"

The master's standard is too low...

Mentioning this, the old man snorted conceitedly, "The current music world is too commercialized. As long as you are not dumb and tone-deaf, you can just pack it up and release a record, but if a song doesn't even put your true feelings into it, How do you impress others?"

"Love songs, love songs, there are love songs first, I don't know why you wrote this song, but you let me feel the warmth, and the yearning for family and lover, which is very precious." Said Here Wu Bin smiled, and suddenly blinked at Luo Qiubai like an old urchin, "Actually, what I want to ask more is, are you missing his mother when you sing with your son? Hmm... She sings so emotionally, she must be a beautiful woman, right?"

Luo Qiubai choked for a moment, looked down at Tuantuan, who had similar eyebrows and eyes to Qi Feng, and looked up at the sky, "Uh...he is quite beautiful."

The first time I met someone, I felt that someone was a big beauty... Although the big bird of the big beauty blinded his eyes at the time, it couldn't hide the big bird monster's face, which was very suitable for him.

Thinking of the first encounter between the two of them, Luo Qiubai couldn't hold back a muffled laugh.

Wu Bin glanced at him, and said mockingly, "When you mention your wife, you just have this expression, young man, do you want me to let you and your son go outside to talk on the phone with his wife for an hour, and then come back to record songs?"

If he could really get in touch, it wouldn't be a matter of an hour, his wife would just kill him directly.

Luo Qiubai rubbed his nose and smiled, Tuantuan in his arms whined, yawned, and looked unhappy because he didn't get enough sleep, it was so fucking like.

After staying in Mr. Wu's recording studio for a whole morning, I finally finished recording this song. Originally, Luo Qiubai didn't want to record Tuantuan's voice, but I always felt that once the song was made, the voice of the child babbling in between would be very awkward. Not serious.

However, the old man strongly opposed it, and must add the sound of Tuantuan, so that the little guy who hadn’t slept enough, when he heard his father singing, he became energetic and busy, and fell asleep when he sang, and he was unhappy after going back and forth several times Now, with a pitifully bulging bun face, he looked at his father eagerly, as if he was complaining about something, which made Luo Qiubai and the old man laugh non-stop.

The feeling of entering the recording studio for the first time was very fresh. Luo Qiubai didn't get used to it at first, but later found it very interesting. After the old man's guidance, he sang better and better. After the finished product came out, he still felt a little unsatisfied.

The old man listened to the finished product from beginning to end, especially the part where Luo Qiubai interacts with Tuantuan, which reveals a strong father-son relationship. Almost as long as he hears the song, he can imagine a happy family and a father waiting for his lover.

"Qiu Bai, I want to put this song on my music homepage. It is full of satisfactory student works I have guided. Usually, many fans like to come here to search for songs, and I can help you with this song. Do you want to promote the song, would you like to?" Luo Qiubai was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated.

Wu Bin looked at his expression, smiled and waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, after all, you are the real owner of this song, but I like your song very much, and I can let you record it for me specially. It’s not bad for me to hide it secretly.”

"No, it's not that I don't want to. I'm happy that you like this song, I just..."

I no longer dare to sign the words "Luo Qiubai" in public.

For the whole year, he didn't think about or watch anything in the domestic entertainment industry. Ye Cheng also understood his feelings and never mentioned it to him, so he didn't know what his reputation was like now. If Putting the three words "Luo Qiubai" together with the godfather of music is tantamount to losing the face of this mentor and bringing him back to the sight of others.

The peace he had finally found, what if he was interrupted again?

He hesitated for a while, looked at Wu Bin's sincere eyes, and felt that he couldn't say the reason why he was ashamed to speak, so he could only smile and nod, "I don't know how many people I would envy to be linked to Teacher Wu's music homepage." , I'll be cheeky and disrespectful, but can I not sign the name Luo Qiubai?"

Wu Bin saw at a glance that he had something to hide, so he didn't ask much, and said with a smile, "Then what do you want to change it to? Is your English name Kevin?"

Luo Qiubai scratched his hair and thought for a while, "Well... it's called WhiteHill, or it can be abbreviated as WH directly, just take the meaning of the name."

"WH?"

Qi Feng, who had just set foot on the land of California, paused for a moment and frowned, "This is a real-name competition. Why didn't this person sign his real name? Didn't this person submit detailed information?"

Sitting in the front row, the secretary flipped through the hundreds of pages of application materials, shook his head and turned around and said, "This song was recommended by the teacher of the music school. There is no more detailed information. The singer's full name is White Hill. It is said that the entry is still A Chinese song."

"White Hill?" Qi Feng repeated.

White... hills?
