“This is a punishment, yet you dare to set down conditions?”
“Why not.” Si Huang smiled and looked at the men and women around him, “I will release a record in the future, how many copies do you want to buy?”
Among them, Si Huang was the youngest, and her interpersonal relationship in the “The Emperor’s Path” crew had always been very good, and her popularity remained high. Not to mention women, even men couldn’t hate her. Now seeing her casual appearance that didn’t treat them as an outsider, everyone started bluntly shouting.
“Master Si actually intends to enter the music scene?”
“Buy, at least ten or a hundred copies!”
“Sing, sing, let us hear if your singing is worth buying.”
Amidst the booing of the crowd, Si Huang stood up and ordered a song, standing in the spacious hall in front of the screen and it didn’t take long for the song she ordered to appear on the screen.
There was a dilapidated city scene on the screen, then a tragic prelude sounded, and the sound of drums that shook the heart. It didn’t take long for a slender figure to appear. She was wearing an emerald green dress, her hair was naturally slightly curly and fell down to her hips. Even if the camera didn’t zoom in, it was still clear to people that this very beautiful woman had a pure and noble temperament.
“Wow, he’s actually singing Li Lisi’s “Redemption”. Even some well-known singers dare not cover this song.”
“Si Huang’s male version of “Redemption”.
Everyone was just waiting for Si Huang’s singing.
“Ah ~ if the end of the world comes;
the sound of order breaking is ringing in my ears;
* is roaring in my head; reason is struggling in my heart;
who is singing softly?”
Suddenly Si Huang’s singing sounded.
Everyone who was still curious and joking at the beginning changed their colors.
Si Huang’s voice in singing this song was a little different from her usual one, it was more magnetic and delicate, it sounded indistinguishable between male and female, and it transcended the boundaries of men and women, but it was purer and went direct to people’s hearts.
“Even if you fall into the abyss of light and shadow;
I know you are in the corner of the light;
even if the world becomes so beautiful;
I know there are countless happiness;
are you listening?”
Si Huang looked at the beautiful woman on the screen, she was so young, her eyes were bright and full of life, until the end of the song, she showed her face in the ruins where green shades seemed to be growing.
“Papa papa—”
A burst of warm applause rang out, bringing back Si Huang’s thoughts.
She turned to look at the crowd.
An Yiyuan said directly: “With this voice, what kind of actor do you want to be, why do you want to compete with your brother? You can definitely walk out a bright road in the singing industry.”
Si Huang raised a finger, “One hundred.”
“Ah?”
“Say okay.”
“Ah? Wait, what’s the deal? I didn’t agree to anything!”
Guan Li frowned, “What are you arguing about, sit down!”
An Yiyuan was stunned, and sat down unconsciously, and realized it after a second, then looking at Guan Li, he said speechlessly, “Is the Queen jealous?”
Guan Li: “A certain monkey is too noisy.”
An Yiyuan raised an eyebrow at Si Huang, “It’s about you.”
Si Huang believed that he was the person who deserved the blame.
Guan Li looked at Si Huang, “Where do you need to ask for help?”
Si Huang smiled and said, “Thank you, Sister Guan.”
Director Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at the three of them back and forth, muttering in a low voice: “When did the relationship start? Is it alright?” The words were all casual.
His eyes mainly fell on Si Huang.
Guan Li and An Yiyuan had collaborated more than once or twice. In the past, the relationship between the two was just nodding acquaintances, and they didn’t like each other, thus being neither cold nor cold towards each ither. But they got close after filming “The Emperor’s Path”. Now they joked occasionally without caring about each other’s face. The reason for the close relationship between the two was…Si Huang!
Since they had to attend the press conference tomorrow, today’s party ended in a short time. Director Liu explained that he had prepared a room for her and handed her a notebook before leaving, “Look at it tonight so that you can prepare for the questions from the press conference reporters tomorrow.”
Originally Director Liu didn’t need to worry about these matters at all, so Si Huang took the notebook over and thanked him sincerely.
Even with her experience, she could completely guess what would happen tomorrow and knew how to deal with it.
….
“The Emperor’s Path” press conference was held at Beixing Hotel.
Today, Si Huang was full of energy, her complexion was rosy, and Yu Ling was handed over the costume styling. When she arrived at the backstage of the press conference at 1:30 in the afternoon, everyone was already being busy.
The official starting time of the press conference was 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and reporters outside were already arriving one after another to take their seats.
Director Liu, who was also wearing a formal suit today, walked to Si Huang’s side, “Did you go over it yesterday? Is it okay?”
Si Huang nodded.
Director Liu was relieved to see that there was no tension on her face.
As time passed, Guan Li and An Yiyuan arrived one after another, followed by Yu Lianyun, the assistant director and other staff.
From 2:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., the press conference for the premiere of “The Emperor’s Path” officially began.
The process of the press conference was similar, until Si Huang and the others entered the arena smoothly, the flash lights continued to light up, accompanied by the sound of the camera shutter button.
Facing such a situation, Si Huang had a perfect and decent smile on her face, so calm that people who saw her for the first time were amazed: this aura was not like a newcomer who just entered the circle at all!
Questions from the reporters also came one after another, and most of them were answered by Director Liu, until the tricky question they guessed came—”
“Now there are rumors on the Internet that An Yiyuan and Si Huang have a complicated relationship. What do you two think about this?”
An Yiyuan first smiled evilly at the camera and said, “Our relationship is definitely not simple.” He paused intentionally, and then put an arm around Si Huang’s shoulder who was sitting next to him, “He is my friend. The junior brother I like, although he doesn’t know how to respect his seniors, he is still very cute in other respects, and I don’t mind his little faults because I’ve always been magnanimous.”
Si Huang calmly grabbed his arm and put it on the table, “Although Brother An is an excellent actor, I can’t accept his usual personality. It’s not a simple relationship, don’t worry.”
An Yiyuan smiled more coquettishly, his peach blossom eyes sparked wildly, and he said slowly: “Brother Si Huang, how many times do you want me to say that your brother’s sexuality is normal.”
Si Huang raised his eyebrows, “Oh, thank you so much.”
“Pfft——” A burst of laughter sounded.
Director Liu also said at the right time, “It’s not too late for them to meet… probably!” Shrugging helplessly, “Anyway, they get along and have a good relationship… probably.”
This humorous tone made everyone laugh again. The atmosphere of the press conference was also quite good.
Until the end of the night, Si Huang was stopped by Director Liu on the way back to the room, and whispered in her ear: “Be careful at the dinner party, I will introduce you to Du Xiaoguang, this time he will be choosing two actors from “The Emperor’s Path” to go to the “Infinite Collapse” reality show. Originally, you would not have been selected based on your qualifications, but Du Xiaoguang never chooses people based only on qualifications, but also on the topicality and variety of the characters. So, you have a good chance.”
After saying this, Director Liu let Si Huang go without waiting for her answer.
Outsiders didn’t know what they talked about.
Si Huang couldn’t laugh or cry.
She was very grateful to Director Liu for taking care of her. However, tonight was also the time for the Huaxing Art School’s New Year’s Day party. She originally planned to show her face at the dinner here, and if she had nothing to do, she would run away and immediately fly back to City H. Who knew that this would happen midway.
The author has something to say:
Qin Liangliang who was stripped of his vest: You have always wanted to see me being stripped, but now that you have seen it, for the protagonist of my sad story, should I have a monthly pass? Guan (xing) heart (zai) security (le) comfort (huo)!
T/N: Some people are confused about QF’s ID and why it is important, so let me explain: An Indus tree is also known as a Parasol tree and phoenixes (from SH’s name) are said to rest on parasol trees according to Chinese mythology, so QF’s ID basically means that he is the home waiting for SH always and since he always helped her in her past life, he actually fulfilled the promise of his ID.
