Low Key Star

  Chapter 211 [211] cheating

  Zhang Wei opened the outer packaging of the album, and while walking home, he looked at the album tracks on the cover poster. Until this time, the embarrassment in the video store just a little bit faded away.

   "There is one less song than the last album."

There are eleven songs in this album, namely: "Nunchaku", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Love in BC", "Snail", "Class Two of Three Years", "Dad, I'm Back", "Simple Love", "Tornado", "Retreat "After", "Starry Sunshine", "The End of the World".

   "What are these names?"

  Zhang Wei'an secretly complained that compared to these song titles, she still prefers the album title. She actually used her father's name as the album title. I don't know how their company agreed...but Dad should be very happy, right?

   Is this another form of fulfilling Dad’s music dream?

When she got home, she went up the stairs two steps at a time, very majestic and majestic, without a key, she knocked **** the door, and soon the door opened, and the person who opened it was Zhang Shouyi, who looked into her hand. , while asking: "Have you bought it?"

  Zhang Wei had already hidden the album behind his back with his hands behind his back in advance, and said with a grin, "Of course I bought it. There are many people queuing up to buy it. Fortunately, I went early."

  While talking, he entered the house, guarding against letting Zhang Shouyi see the album cover, and asked, "Dad, guess what the name of this album is?"

  Zhang Shou thought for a moment, then smiled, "What's your name?"

   Zhang Wei knew his father's temperament, so he stopped whetting his appetite. He took out the album, held it in front of his father, and said joyfully, "Look!"

  Zhang Shouding took a closer look, and saw a half-length photo of his son on the poster, who looked quite handsome, and next to it were three bold scripts: Zhang Shouyi!

  He froze for a moment, read it again, and realized that he had taken his own name as the title of the album, and was a little confused for a while.

  Fang Qianxue came out of the bathroom, wiped her hands with a towel in her hand, and asked, "Did you buy it? What's the matter, what's it called?"

  Zhang Wei shook the album at his mother again, "Look! Use my dad's name as the album title!"

  She said a little excitedly: "In this case, the next album will use your name, and the next album should use my name, right?"

Fang Qianxue was also a little surprised, and smiled after a while: "How could this be so, your dad wanted to sing before, but you never thought about singing, why use your name? Fans always don't agree .”

  Zhang Wei pouted, ran to the TV, put the record into the player, Fang Qianxue said: "Let's eat first."

   "Eat while watching."

Zhang Yang has shot MVs for every song, which is rare in today's music scene, and each MV has a plot, not just a personal photo like many singers. Zhang Wei likes "Up", "Sunny Day" and "Thousands of Miles Away" very much. On the contrary, "You at the Same Table" in which he participated has only been watched once, so he is not very willing to watch it.

  Breakfast consisted of porridge, pancakes, and last night’s leftovers. The family of three sat around the tea table. The text description of Zhang Yang’s second album "Zhang Shouyi" first appeared on the TV, and then there was a burst of "Dang Dang Dang" accompaniment.

  The screen lights up at the same time, but there is no ostentatious figure, but an empty space on the street, and then a man in a black suit who looks a bit like a gangster appears.

  A drum set appeared in the accompaniment.

  Fang Qianxue frowned and said, "Why is it this kind of song again?"

Neither Zhang Shouyi nor Zhang Wei spoke. Fang Qianxue complained and was still staring at the TV intently. She saw her son wearing a vest and leaning against the table in a room where all the walls were covered with brush calligraphy. Looks... a bit underwhelming.

   But it's pretty cool!

  The sound of the prelude became more and more urgent, and the camera changed accordingly. The scene of Zhang Yang waving his nunchaku flashed, and the camera still returned to the street, where Zhang Yang was running while holding a girl's hand.

   "The smell of smoke in the Yanyaki shop is very strong, and the martial art museum is next door"

   "There are three stages of Mama Mulberry Tea Ceremony in the shop"

  …

  As soon as the two lines came out, Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianxue frowned even deeper, obviously they still couldn't hear this kind of song, but Zhang Wei just listened attentively, and waited until the main song was over, before saying, "Is this about Senior Brother Zhang?"

  Fang Qianxue gnawed on pancakes and said, "Zhang Hongkang's mother doesn't run a teahouse."

  Zhang Weidao: "It can't be written according to reality. Just now there was a scene where Brother Zhang was fighting. Dad, did you see it?"

  Zhang Shou nodded, still frowning, obviously still trying to adapt to this style of music, the first song was played quickly, Zhang Wei praised it, but his parents gave it a bad review.

   Fortunately, the second song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" quickly regained a point. Together with the prelude, Zhang Wei said: "Wow, this song is Chinese style, you two must like it, and this MV was filmed in the Forbidden City in Jiangning!"

  Both Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianxue were very satisfied with this song, and what was even more satisfying was that Lin Yiran was actually the heroine in this MV, so he finally had the heart to discuss the plot of the MV.

  Fang Qianxue: "What is this about, is the protagonist dead?"

  Zhang Wei: "It seems so?"

  Fang Qianxue: "Make a MV, why is it still like a TV series?"

  Zhang Shouyi: "Lin still looks good in ancient costumes."

  Fang Qianxue: "You look good, you look good in anything you wear."

  Zhang Shou nodded, "Isn't Lin still not going to class? Why do you still have time to shoot the MV?"

  Fang Qianxue rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't your son also in class?"

  Zhang Shouyi said helplessly: "I'm afraid that my parents will have opinions, and I won't give them money."

  Fang Qianxue: "If you give money, they won't take it. Doesn't the company own half of Yiyi's shares?"

  Zhang Shouyi: "It's a film and television company called Yiyang Film and Television. This album is produced by a studio called Zhang Yang's Personal Music Studio. It's not the same thing."

  Fang Qianxue sighed: "They haven't divided the money themselves, so don't worry about it here."

Zhang Wei completely ignored the clamor of his parents, and listened to the song very seriously. He felt a little depressed when he listened to it. Finally, there was a person who sang so well, but he was his brother. He had no way to be an idol or a star. to like.

   It would be great if Zhang Yang was Xiaoqi’s older brother. In this case, I can still regard him as an idol and show off to my classmates. When and when did I meet Zhang Yang... Now?

   People call her "Zhang Yang's younger sister", and I'm too embarrassed to show off, it's too boring, why not Zhang Wei's brother?

These messy thoughts flashed through her mind, and several songs were played quickly. When it came to "Class Two of Three Years", the big speaker at the beginning made the whole family laugh. Fang Qianxue laughed and scolded: "How could there be Like this, boasting about myself in my own songs...but why playing table tennis?"

   Zhang Shoudao: "It should be because of the accompaniment, which has always been the sound of table tennis."

  Fang Qianxue listened, and said: "Really...why do you keep repeating this paragraph? It sounds nice..."

  After "Class Two of Three Years", as soon as the name of the next song came out, the whole family felt refreshed at the same time: "Dad, I'm back"!

Zhang Wei had already noticed this song when he was looking at the catalog, and he had been waiting for it all the time. Seeing that his parents were both surprised and relieved, he was also happy in his heart, but there was a little dissatisfaction on his face. With an expression on his face, he said angrily, "I wrote songs for Grandpa, I wrote songs for Mom, and I wrote songs for Dad. Why don't you write songs for me?"

  Zhang Shouyi said, "It's still early!"

  When I was talking, I couldn't help showing a little smile on my face. I felt that although my music dream had died, but I had a son to fulfill my dream for me, and it was even better than the best situation I had ever imagined.

  With this album and this song, this life is worth it!

Thinking like this, he naturally took this song very seriously. In his first impression, including Fang Qianxue, Zhang Wei, and countless fans, this song should be warm, sunny, inspirational, etc. .

  However, the first sound of the prelude was a muffled thunder. At the same time, the picture of dilapidated buildings shrouded in dark clouds appeared in the MV screen, which alternately flashed with Zhang Yang's gloomy face, revealing a faint sense of depression.

  Zhang Shouyi felt a "thump" in his heart, and subconsciously felt something was wrong.

   Sure enough, as soon as the singing started, this premonition was confirmed:

   "I've heard that usually wars are followed by peace"

   "Why do you see my dad keeps beating my mom"

  “He can take it out on my mom just because he was drunk”

  …

Zhang Wei widened his eyes in surprise, turned his head, as if meeting his father for the first time, looked at Zhang Shouyi with suspicion and horror, his **** and white eyes clearly revealed: "When did this happen, Why don't I know?" asked the question.

Zhang Shouyi was also a little dazed, turned his head and looked at his wife blankly, he couldn't remember when he had ever fought against her, even if it was the occasional quarrel in his memory, he had never quarreled in front of his son and daughter, and the quarrel ended soon Make up!

  Fang Qianxue blinked her eyes, seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and then finally confirmed, and handed her husband a blank expression: "When did I not know?"

   "From childhood to adulthood, only the warmth of my mother"

   "Why is my dad so fierce"

   "If I really have a pair of wings, two pairs of wings"

   "Leave anytime, secretly"

   "I will definitely take my mother away"

  …

  The singing and the plot continued, the family of three in the living room was silent for a while, Zhang Wei observed the expressions of his parents, and asked cautiously: "Dad, have you ever hit my mother?"

  Zhang Shouyi was full of grievances, and widened his eyes and said: "Your mother beat me, so I dare not fight your mother!" Fang Qianxue said with a little amusement, "When did I hit you?"

  Zhang Shouyi said a little depressed: "I'm describing the status of the two of us in the family."

  Zhang Wei burst into laughter, nodded and said, "I think so too."

  Zhang Shouyi seemed to have thought of something, he didn't care about listening to the song, and turned to Zhang Wei: "When you said you bought the album, were there many people?"

  Zhang Wei nodded seriously: "When I went, there were already more than 20 people waiting in line before the door opened."

  Zhang Shouyi froze, then stood up and walked to the study, Fang Qianxue asked, "Why are you going?"

   Zhang Shou said without looking back: "Call your son and ask him what he's writing! I can't suffer such injustice!"

Both Fang Qianxue and Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing. Zhang Shouyi quickly found his mobile phone, and while calling Zhang Yang, he returned to the sofa. The phone rang twice and was quickly connected. Zhang Yang said "Hello" With one sound, he called out, "Dad."

  Although Zhang Shouyi had something to do, he was not in a hurry to say it, and asked first: "Zhang Yang, have you eaten yet?"

  Because the album was released today, Lin still deliberately didn’t eat breakfast at home, so he came to eat with him, and watched the MV while eating. One minute before receiving the call, the two had just finished watching "Dad, I'm Back".

Because Zhang Yang wrote songs with a real background, Lin Yiran also misunderstood it at first. After Zhang Yang explained to her, she finally understood. Speaking of the scene outside his community where he saw his parents holding hands and returning home from shopping, it was really true. There is no way to imagine that such a loving couple would have domestic violence.

   Then she talked about her parents spreading dog food all day long. Before she got to the point, Zhang Shouyi called.

   Zhang Yang picked up the phone, and she leaned over to look at the caller ID, and smiled gloatingly: "I told you to write nonsense, uncle came to settle accounts with you, right?"

   When Zhang Yang answered the phone, she paused the TV and listened to Zhang Yang's call.

   Zhang listened to his father asking himself if he had eaten first, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yiran proudly, Lin Yiran gave him an angry look.

   Zhang Yang said: "It's eating, have you eaten?"

   "Your mother, I, and Weiwei just finished eating."

"Oh fine."

  Before Zhang Shouyi got down to business, Zhang Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted into the phone from a long distance away, "Zhang Yang, why did you wrong Dad, Dad wants to settle accounts with you!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's voice, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Dad, that's not about you, it's against domestic violence. It's so hard to find a good man, husband, and father like you, so domestic violence still exists. This song expresses itself, not about you."

Only then did Zhang Shouyi feel relieved, and nodded his head with an "oh". He was always good-tempered. After hearing his son's explanation, he suddenly felt that the song had a profound and important meaning, and he was very proud of his son. It sounds good, your mother, my sister and I were listening to it just now, and your sister also said that when the store opened before the album was bought, there was a large crowd of people waiting in line to buy it."

   "Really? Oh, no way, you have good genes."

Zhang Yang chatted with Zhang Shouyi for a while, Zhang Shouyi quickly gave the phone to Fang Qianxue, Fang Qianxue thought more comprehensively, and said: "You write like this, many people really think that your father is drunk all day long and domestic violence , what should I do?"

   Zhang Yang has actually thought about this issue, but it is easy to clarify this matter, and he is not too worried. He said with a smile: "Acquaintances definitely won't. When I go back to interview, I will explain it, so it will be fine."

  Fang Qianxue thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so she comforted her son a few words, telling him not to care too much about sales, and then hung up the phone.

   Soon, I found that everyone underestimated the influence of this song and the truth of "bad things spread thousands of miles".

The first person to receive the feedback was Zhang Wei. She listened to all the songs and was about to ask Tang Yanqi for a question. Tang Yanqi sent her a message first, so she went back to her room and told Tang Yanqi Kei made a voice call.

Chatting a few words about the song, Zhang Wei didn't even have time to say "Love in BC" that she likes the most, Tang Yanqi asked hesitantly: "Wei Wei, I'm asking you something, don't you agree?" Angry."

"What's up?"

   "Is what your brother wrote true?"

   Probably felt that Zhang Wei had never told him about this, so he must have suffered a lot of psychological trauma. Tang Yanqi's tone was very careful, "Ms. Zhang really beats Mr. Fang often?"

Zhang Wei couldn't hold it back, burst out laughing again, and explained: "How can it be, this is my brother's nonsense, my dad just called my brother to settle the score, my brother said it was anti-domestic violence , he said that this kind of thing still exists in other families."

  Tang Yanqi seemed to be greatly relieved, and said: "I was scared to death, let me just say, Mr. Zhang is such a nice person, how could he be such a person..."

Zhang Wei chatted with Tang Yanqi for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he found that there were two unread messages, one from a junior high school classmate, one from a junior high school alumnus, and a high school classmate, and the content of the messages was basically the same: "Zhang Wei, your brother Is it true? Did your dad really drink and beat people?"

  Zhang Wei responded to the message with a smile to clarify, but soon stopped laughing.

As of this evening, she had received a total of forty-six confirmation messages from private chats and class groups, so she finally had to simply send a circle of friends: "Thank you for your concern, but please don't ask me about my dad Do you often drink and beat people! Zhang Yang's new song "Dad, I'm Back" is anti-domestic violence, not about my family's situation! My parents have a very good relationship. My dad doesn't drink or smoke, and there is no domestic violence. Instead, he is a bit of a wife Yan... When Zhang Yang comes home, my dad will settle the score with him [cute]”

   But things didn't stop because of her circle of friends. In the evening, Zhou Qihang called. He had known Zhang Shouyi for many years, so naturally he would not suspect that Zhang Shouyi had domestic violence tendencies, but just confirmed what was going on.

  However, some teachers in the school did call Fang Qianxue, asking and comforting her side-by-side.

  At this time, Zhang Shouyi was a little suspicious that it was a big deal to lightly expose the matter to his son. Afterwards, he quickly confirmed that he was indeed too good-tempered.

During dinner, the family of three were eating and chatting, discussing the joke about the song "Dad, I'm Back" and the possible achievements of Zhang Yang's album. He scolded his head and covered his face.

  The old man has been one-sided for decades, and it is easier to talk in front of his daughter-in-law, Fang Qianxue to be precise. Zhang Shou wanted to explain a few times, but the old man scolded him back in a more severe tone.

  Finally, Fang Qianxue couldn't take it anymore, so she called and explained clearly for her husband, repeating Zhang Yang's words.

   Only then did the old man realize that he had scolded him wrongly, he said "Oh", and said, "Then tell him, I scolded him wrongly, okay, then it's fine, I'll hang up."

Zhang Shouyi was reprimanded for five or six minutes, but in the end he didn't even hear his father's "wrong scolding" clearly, so the old man hung up the phone directly. Depressed, he really wanted to do the same thing, called Zhang Yang, and scolded him involuntarily. G.

   As a result, I called and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

   Zhang Yang, who was having dinner with Lin Yiran, said as usual: "I'm eating now."

   "Oh, your mother, Wei Wei and I are eating too."

   "Well, what did you eat?"

   "That's it, how is your album selling? Okay?"

"Uh...it should be pretty good. The digital album hasn't been launched yet, so I don't know. But I just received news that almost all of the first batch of one million copies have been sold...but it's the shipments, that is, all It was bought by the store, and it should not be sold out so quickly."

   Zhang Shouyi didn't quite understand what this meant for a while, Fang Qianxue asked next to him: "Is it better or worse than the last album?"

  Lin still wanted to say something next to him: "It must be good!"

   But I didn’t dare.

   Zhang Yang glanced at her and said, "It must be good. The company said that this album will sell at least two million copies, hundreds of thousands more than the last album."

  Zhang Wei asked next to him: "Money?"

   "Uh... the money should be more than that."
