Chapter 132 Touch my legs (two in one)
After hearing the female assistant director's suggestion, everyone thought about it in silence for a while.

"I think it's okay, it's also a good gimmick."

"Song Ziqi's status isn't high enough, I'm afraid she won't be able to make it."

"The popularity of the song 'Sunny Day' is completely enough, I don't think it will be a big problem."

"I think it's better to play it safe."

"It depends on the director's opinion."

Everyone had different opinions and chose to look at the first director who had been silent for a long time.

The director frowned and thought for a long time before finally deciding, "Let's go with this suggestion. It's also a good gimmick. We can try out the effect."

"If that's the case, we have to make sure that the draw results next time ensure that Song Ziqi and An Ruo will compete."

"Well, so when the time comes, don't make the drawing of lots too obvious, so the audience won't notice it," the director reminded.

"Don't worry about that. I'll have someone contact her agent now."

No one seemed to be surprised at all by the draw.

Although "Who is the King of Singers" has always claimed that there is no shady dealings and that all draws and votes are fair and just...

But the so-called absolute fairness is impossible. All fairness is based on the premise of making the program exciting. If manipulating the draw results can make the program more effective, the program team will naturally choose to engage in shady dealings without hesitation.

Anyway, as long as no one tells anyone, no one will know that the result of the lottery was manipulated, and they will just treat it as a coincidence.

A few days later, Song Ziqi posted an invitation letter from the "Who is the King of Singers" program team on Weibo, with the caption:

"I am very honored to receive the invitation letter from the "Who is the King of Singers" program team. I am flattered and look forward to communicating, learning and competing with several teachers on this stage. I hope everyone will support me."

Below are a bunch of comments that fans are looking forward to.

After seeing this Weibo post, Xia Anruo, who was watching a variety show with Chu Ze in front of the computer, stretched out her little foot and kicked him.

"Did I provoke you again?" Chu Ze was kicked for no reason and felt a little wronged.

"You've given me a new competitor." Xia Anruo said resentfully.

"What opponent?" Chu Ze wondered.

"See for yourself."

Xia Anruo handed over the phone, and Chu Ze saw the Weibo post posted by Song Ziqi at a glance.

"Song Ziqi is also going to be on this show? Aren't the guests of this show kept secret? How can it be announced in advance?" Chu Ze was obviously a little surprised.

"The confidentiality was something that happened before the first episode aired. There weren't such strict requirements for the replacement guests later on." Xia Anruo explained.

"Didn't the show have very high requirements for guests? Is Song Ziqi qualified now? Did I underestimate her?"

"The song you gave her is very popular now. It's not surprising that the program team would consider choosing her." Xia Anruo was not surprised. After all, even the most popular program needs to ride on the popularity.

"Let her come up, she doesn't necessarily compete with you. Even if she does, she can't threaten you." Chu Ze didn't care at all.

Not to mention that Xia Anruo has songs she wrote herself to support her performance in every episode. Even without herself, Xia Anruo should not have lost to Song Ziqi.

"Who knows if you will secretly write a song for her." Xia Anruo glanced at him.

"Am I sick? What's my purpose in secretly writing a song for her to target you?" Chu Ze rolled his eyes at her.

"It's about people." Xia Anruo smiled.

"I'm after people, but it's you. And I'm not the sneaky type. Speaking my mind without hiding anything is one of my few strengths." Chu Ze glared at her.

"Just say it straight? Do you think I believe you?" Xia Anruo glanced at him.

"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you." Chu Ze said.

"how to prove?"

Xia Anruo hugged her chest, crossed her legs and looked at him.

Chu Ze looked down at her long legs in black stockings swaying in front of him, and said bluntly:

"Touch my legs."

"..."

Xia Anruo kicked him and the chair away.

"Go to hell, pervert."

A very straightforward person.

……

After receiving the invitation letter from "Who is the King of Singers", Song Ziqi was excited and nervous.

I am excited because I can participate in such a popular variety show, which is an opportunity that I would never have had before.

He was also nervous because the strength of his competitors in this show was not to be underestimated and he had no chance of winning at all.

"Ziqi, you must seize this opportunity and try to perform better." Liu Fang was also very excited about Song Ziqi getting this opportunity and seemed even happier than Song Ziqi herself.

After all, being able to appear on this variety show will at least mean a lot of exposure and traffic. If Song Ziqi can become famous through this, it will also be of great benefit to Liu Fang as her agent.

"I know, but with my strength, I can only go one round." Song Ziqi sighed.

"You can also learn from An Ruo and write original songs." Liu Fang suggested.

"I'm not a lyricist and composer as good as Sister An Ruo, how can I learn from her?" Song Ziqi shook her head.

It is not something she can learn to be so extravagant and inhumane as to release a high-quality song in each episode. Even superstars cannot do it.

"Why don't you contact Chu Ze and ask him? If he can write "Sunny Day", he should be able to write other good songs."

"I've asked before." Song Ziqi shook his head, indicating that this method would not work.

"Then I'll go ask the company and see if there are any good songs I can give you." Liu Fang had no choice but to say this upon seeing this.

After all, if participating in this variety show can increase Song Ziqi's popularity, it will also be good for the company. The company should not sit idly by and not provide any resources.

……

Friday.

The recording site of the show "Who is the King of Singers"

There is a rehearsal session before the official recording.

Xia Anruo had just arrived at the TV station by car, and the reception staff enthusiastically led her into a lounge.

"Teacher Anruo, please wait a moment. It's a pity that Teacher Youxi is rehearsing right now. You may have to wait a little longer. Please rest here first." The staff member said and left in a hurry.

Entering the lounge, Xia Anruo saw Song Ziqi sitting alone on the sofa. She had wavy hair and a sky blue dress, and looked very beautiful.

Song Ziqi arrived here before Xia Anruo. She was sitting there in a daze. She was startled to see Xia Anruo walk in. She quickly stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, and came forward to greet her respectfully:
"Hello, Sister An Ruo!"

"Ziqi came quite early." Xia Anruo walked to the sofa and sat down. She didn't expect that Song Ziqi was in the lounge.

"I just arrived too, and I didn't expect Sister An Ruo to be here right after me." Song Ziqi smiled sweetly as she stood in front of Xia An Ruo. Seeing that Song Ziqi was reluctant to sit down, Xia An Ruo pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Why are you so reserved? It's not like you're unfamiliar with each other. Sit down quickly."

"Okay." Song Ziqi sat next to Xia Anruo as she was told.

"Zi Qi's new song performed very well not long ago, and I haven't congratulated you yet." Xia Anruo smiled and brought up the topic first.

"Thanks to Sister An Ruo's recommendation, otherwise I wouldn't have such good results." Song Ziqi hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

When she released a new song before, it attracted a lot of traffic because Xia Anruo reposted it on Weibo to promote it.

"I just helped a little. It's mainly because of your good singing skills. I said before that you just lacked a good song. The song "Sunny Day" is of high quality. Coupled with your singing skills, it is natural to achieve this result." Xia Anruo waved her hand and didn't take her help seriously.

Originally, she didn't do it simply to help Song Ziqi, but more because it was Chu Ze's new song, so she forwarded it to recommend it.

"I was just lucky this time." Song Ziqi said modestly.

"Zi Qi is being modest. If we draw lots for a PK on the show this time, you'd better go easy on us." Xia Anruo said with a smile.

"Sister An Ruo, please stop making fun of me. Your original songs in every episode are no worse than my new songs. How can I compete with you, Sister An Ruo? I don't have such a great songwriter." Song Ziqi's tone was full of envy and admiration.

It took a lot of effort and luck to buy a song like "Sunny Day" by myself, but Xia Anruo can produce songs of this quality in every issue.

"Isn't the author of your new song amazing?" Xia Anruo asked knowingly.

"He's really great, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of working with me. He's even keeping his distance from me recently. I don't know why." Song Ziqi sounded a little disappointed when she said this.

Some time ago, I wanted to invite Chu Ze to dinner to express my gratitude, but he refused to come. When I wanted to ask him to sing a song, he also refused perfunctorily.

I always feel like there's a thick barrier between us, and I can't get close to her even if I want to, as if she's deliberately distancing herself from me.

After hearing this, Xia Anruo understood that Chu Ze was probably afraid that she would be jealous, so he deliberately kept his distance.

She had never asked him to do this, but she didn't expect Chu Ze to be so self-conscious.

In fact, she had no objection to Chu Ze and Song Ziqi's contact. She was not an unreasonable woman, otherwise she would not have let Chu Ze sell "Sunny Day" to Song Ziqi.

She just gets jealous sometimes and can't control herself, so she'll show off a little.

"It's quite normal. He treated me the same way before." After Song Ziqi said this, Xia Anruo remembered Chu Ze's attitude when she first asked him to write a song for her, and couldn't help but complain.

"Huh? Sister An Ruo also knows him?" Song Ziqi was stunned.

"Well... I meant that Potato treated me the same way back then." Xia Anruo realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly made up for it.

"Oh, in that case, how did Sister Anruo and Teacher Tudou come to collaborate? I want to learn." Song Ziqi didn't think much about it when he heard it. He looked at Xia Anruo curiously with his big eyes and asked.

Xia Anruo scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

She and Chu Ze felt a little weird.

First they rear-ended each other, then they lived together, and finally she pestered Chu Ze until he agreed to help her write songs.

She couldn't tell Song Ziqi to learn this, right?
She has no habit of self-sacrifice.

"Sincerity...right." Xia Anruo thought for a long time and could only choose a panacea.

The two chatted for a long time. Half an hour later, a staff member knocked on the door and said that Teacher Youxi had finished rehearsal, and then glanced at Song Ziqi.

Song Ziqi quickly gave way and said, "Let Sister An Ruo rehearse first."

"No need, you arrived first, first come, first served, you can rehearse first." Xia Anruo waved his hand nonchalantly.

"But Sister An Ruo is your senior, how can I let you wait here?" Song Ziqi shook her head unwillingly.

"What senior or junior? If you consider me a friend, then go and rehearse. If you don't consider me a friend, then forget it." Xia Anruo didn't like to put on airs as a senior.

"I…Okay then, I'll try to finish this as quickly as possible."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Song Ziqi had to bow and follow the staff out of the lounge.

Seeing that she was the only one left in the room, Xia Anruo took out her cell phone and called Chu Ze.

"Has Song Ziqi contacted you to invite you to sing a song?" Xia Anruo asked as soon as she came up.

"I contacted her, but I didn't agree. I rejected her directly. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her." Chu Ze was startled and quickly distanced himself from the matter.

"Why are you so nervous?" Xia Anruo found Chu Ze's panicked tone funny.

"Nonsense, every time you mention Song Ziqi, something bad is bound to happen." Chu Ze was scared by Xia Anruo.

"I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else." Xia Anruo said.

Chu Zexin said that what you women say is the most unreliable.

Whoever believes it will write it off.

"Don't worry, I won't write songs for others. Don't be suspicious all day long." Chu Ze asked Xia Anruo to relax.

Not to mention whether Xia Anruo was jealous or not, he was scared just because so many people came to him to write a song for Cheng Ran.

It's better to live a stable life. I really don't want to get involved in anything related to the entertainment industry other than Xia Anruo.

"I'm not that stingy. If you really want to write a song for Song Ziqi, I have no objection." Xia Anruo said generously.

"You want to test whether I can change my tactics. This tactic has been used by others."

"I'm telling the truth. I just think that if others are eager to give you money, it would be a waste not to make the money if you really have a song." Xia Anruo still used this theory.

"Do you really think so?" Chu Ze asked suspiciously.

"Of course." Xia Anruo said halfway, then changed the subject, "But you can't sell them songs that are too good. The good songs must be kept for me first, and I can sell them the ones I don't want anymore."

"..."

I told you that you are not that magnanimous.

"But what if I write good songs?" Chu Ze said that if I were to copy bad songs, wouldn't that tarnish my reputation as a reborn person?
"Good songs can be divided into those that are suitable for me to sing and those that I don't. If I think they are not suitable, you can just sell them." Xia Anruo thought about it.

"You're quite thoughtful..."

Help me arrange everything.

"But now that I think about it, I made so much money writing songs for you before, but now it seems like it was all wasted." Chu Ze suddenly realized something.

"What do you mean by free money?"

"Think about it, when your money comes into my hands, isn't it all our own money in the end?"

The left hand falls to the right hand, which belongs to yes.

"..."

Xia Anruo was at a loss for words for a moment.

You're not even my girlfriend yet, so you just treat it as the common property of the couple, right?
However, it seems that Chu Ze did not charge a penny for the songs he wrote for himself recently.

I didn’t seem to think about giving the song to…

It really seems like something that is natural between an old couple.
