561 “AV Shooting Guide” 524: The missing vote

When Zou Xing said this, Qiao Qiao calmed down. Although 150,000 was a lot, it was not an astronomical sum. With her own savings plus Hai Die’s, it would not be a problem to clear this pit.

It’s nothing to lose a little money. What she’s afraid of is that things will get out of control again. Since Hai Die saw Zou Xing, everything has been derailed. She just wants to take Hai Die out of here as soon as possible.

But Zou Xing’s next sentence was: “Now is a society ruled by law. Let me do whatever you want is just an empty talk. If I maim you or injure you, you will still go to jail.”

Haidie’s voice was hoarse: “Then what do you want?”

Zou Xing smiled: “I am only interested in money, but 150,000 is the limit you can spend, right?”

Haidie’s eyes were already red: “I won’t default on the debt. If you lose, I will pay you back the money I borrowed!”

“Hey, Haidie, wake up!” Qiao Qiao raised his voice, “Are you going to pay for the rest of your life?!”

Haidie yelled: “I won’t lose!”

“That’s right.” Zou Xing spread his hands, “Then I have no reason to compete with you. Why should I throw away the 150,000 I already got for an uncertainty? The gap between you and Bai Zhe is not big. They may tie in the next game. By then, won’t I just draw water from a bamboo basket and lose everything?”

“It makes sense!” Qiao Qiao wanted to applaud Zou Xing, “So stop comparing, let’s call it a day!”

Suddenly a sweet female voice came in: “Zou Xing, let’s compete again.”

Everyone turned around and saw Shang Xue standing there. Her voice was very soft: “For my sake, let’s compete again.”

Zou Xing stared at her for a long time, and finally curled his lips: “Okay, since you opened your mouth, let’s do it again.”

Haidie nodded: “If I lose, I will compensate you 150,000 for the first two games, plus 200,000 doubled, for a total of 350,000. Isn’t that right?”

“No.” Zou Xing waved his hand, “I don’t accept credit. You can only offer 150,000 yuan now, so I only need 150,000 yuan.”

Then, he grinned: “But I have to add a condition. If you lose this game, you will withdraw from that draft.”

The bar was noisy, but the three-acre area where a few people were sitting was deathly silent.

Haidie: “What do you mean?”

Zou Xing spread his hands: “We were all doing music together back then, but you, the worst singer, were favored by the company. Isn’t it unfair?”

“The company is interested in my creative ability.” Haidie’s words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

“Yes.” Zou Xinge smiled mischievously, “Without us brothers, how could you write such a good song? Otherwise, why did you become unknown after signing with the company?”

Haidie’s face swelled from bluish-white to red.

“I’m rescuing you for the sake of our brothers.” Zou Xing said confidently, “Otherwise you wouldn’t know how much time you would waste in fantasy. It doesn’t make any difference whether you participate in the draft or not, because you have no talent in the first place and there is no way you can make your debut. You should thank me for helping you understand the facts.”

Qiao Qiao was stunned by his shamelessness, and Hai Die’s chest heaved violently. Jing Wen quickly hugged one of his arms, lest he do something irrational again.

Zou Xing held out two fingers: “How about it? You have two choices now. One is to spend 150,000 and we pay it back, and the other is to compete again on my terms. You have to think clearly.”

Qiao Qiao said calmly: “Can you give us some time to discuss?”

Zou Xing waved his hand magnanimously: “Whatever, but you’d better hurry up, otherwise I may change my mind.”

Qiao Qiao: “Thank you.”

She led Hai Die to the corner, and Jing Wen followed.

Haidie took the initiative and gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t try to persuade me, it’s useless. I must win against him!”

Qiao Qiao shook his head: “I won’t advise you. He said it for the sake of it. I, an outsider, would get angry after hearing this, let alone you? I called you here to discuss with you how to win the third game.”

Haidie breathed a sigh of relief: “I think we should stick to the same strategy as in the last game. Bai Zhe defeated me because he was able to make the scene lively. Since this is effective, I will do the same.”

“No. Although you are good at typhoon, you are not suitable for singing cheerful songs. Moreover, your opponent is very good at charming fans. When you compare with him, you are using each other’s shortcomings to attack the enemy’s strong points.”

“But I lost miserably in the first game when I sang a love song.”

“But the direction is right.” Qiao Qiao wrote a few words in his notebook, “I thought about it, you should sing this song in the third round.”

Hai Die and Jing Wen came over to take a look.

“No.” Haidie shook her head repeatedly, “This song is too sad. Everyone comes to the bar to relax. Listening to such a sad song is so disappointing.”

“You are wrong.” Qiao Qiao smiled slightly, “The highest level of entertainment is to find resonance. The reason why Bai Zhe was able to attract votes is because he found the resonance of those boy band fans. No matter what type he sings, whether it is happy or sad, as long as this resonance point is still there, he can steadily get the votes of those fans.”

She said sternly: “So, the resonance point you are looking for must be larger and cover a wider range than what Bai Zhe found.”

She pointed to the title of the song on the paper: “The seven hardships of life are birth, old age, illness and death, resentment and hate, love and separation, and what you can’t ask for. What you want to sing is this ‘can’t ask for’.”

Haidie was stunned for a long time, then nodded: “I understand. However, I have never sung this song before, and I don’t know if I can sing it well.”

Qiao Qiao smiled: “You don’t need to sing well, and it’s best to be able to break your voice, choke, and become hoarse in the middle. There is only one technique for singing this song, and that is to abandon all techniques.”

Seeing that Hai Die was still confused, Qiao Qiao simply went straight to the point: “Do you still like her?”

“…”

“If you don’t know how to sing with true feelings, just look into her eyes and sing.”

Haidie was stunned.

“Hey, have you finished talking?” Zou Xing’s dissatisfied voice came, “Aren’t you still competing?”

“Sorry.” Qiao Qiao walked over quickly, “We agree to compete again, but there is a small condition.”

Zou Xing frowned: “What?”

“Hai Die sang first the first two times. Can Bai Zhe sing first this time? It’s fair.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Zou Xing smiled nonchalantly, “Do you think the one who comes last has an advantage? Well, in order to make you feel convinced of losing, let Bai Zhe sing first in this game.”

The bar owner announced the start of the third round, and Bai Zhe took the lead in standing on the small stage.

Qiao Qiao saw that the easy smile on his face when he took the stage the first two times disappeared and was replaced by a standard bright smile of a boy band idol. The bet had already added a stake that was related to Haidie’s life and death, and Bai Zhe seemed to be planning to give it a serious try.

The music started playing, and the song that Bai Zhe chose this time had a faster tempo and a higher tune. It seemed that he planned to carry out the cheerful route to the end.Before singing, he performed a dance to warm up. There were many very tempting and sexually suggestive moves in it, which caused the little girls in the audience to scream repeatedly. Before the song even started, the atmosphere was extremely hot.

And the most unexpected thing is that what he sang was not one song, but a medley of more than ten songs.Different styles and different singing methods are seamlessly switched. Although there are only a few lines that are actually sung, it is very enjoyable to watch. The screams below almost brought down the roof of this small bar.

After the concert, many little girls couldn’t wait to order beers and deliver them to Zou Xing’s table. Some even gave a few roses along with the beers.Bai Zhe was so proud that he put a rose in his chest and bowed to the audience, and the bar was filled with excitement.

Zou Xing turned to Haidie and raised his chin: “It’s still too late for you to withdraw from the competition.”

Haidie picked up the guitar and went straight onto the stage without even looking at him.

Zou Xing sneered: “I won’t shed tears until I see the coffin.”

At this time, the excitement caused by Bai Zhe has not passed yet. The audience was chattering and discussing the song medley just now, and no one even noticed Haidie’s appearance on the stage.Haidie was not in a hurry and sat there quietly adjusting the guitar in his hand. When the sound in the audience gradually died down and more and more people looked at him, he raised his head and gave the bar owner a look.

The boss got the signal and turned off all the light sources with a ‘pop’ sound.

“What’s going on?”

“Is there a power outage?”

“It’s so dark! Ouch, who touched me?”

The commotion only lasted a few seconds, because soon a beam of chasing light hit Haidie, and the small lights around the stage were lit up one after another like fireflies, emitting a dark blue cold light.

The bar fell completely silent. Everyone was aware of the unusual atmosphere. Even those playing dice stopped what they were doing.

His fingers gently plucked the strings, and what came out were the most basic chords. Unlike the first two eye-catching fingerpickings, Haidie completely gave up on showing off his skills.

“When that star appeared in the sky, you know I started to miss it again.

How much love can only look at each other from a distance, just like the moonlight shining on the sea.

When we were young, we thought that people who love each other can last forever.

When we believe that our love is so deep that we cannot hear the sigh in the wind.

…

Who knows what love is?A brief encounter but never forgotten.

I spent my whole life learning not to forget.”

Haidie’s voice echoed in the bar. He didn’t look at the audience in the audience or the guitar in his hand. Instead, he looked far away and fell on Shang Xue next to Zou Xing, crying while singing.

There is no exaggerated singing, no hot dancing, everything is the expression of true feelings. From Haidie’s singing, you can truly feel his pain, which is the best resonance point in the world.

Some audience members silently wiped away tears from their eyes, while others sang along with Haidie’s song. Everyone thought of what they had been begging for but could not get. Haidie’s song was like a pebble thrown into the water. Pain and sadness were resonating and spreading among the crowd. It was unimaginable that just a few minutes ago, this place was noisy.

“When I was in a trance, I seemed to see you in a sea of people.

You appeared vaguely, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye…”

Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, he was sure to win.

At this time, she felt someone pat her shoulder. It turned out to be Jing Wen.

Jing Wen raised his chin in Zou Xing’s direction, gesturing for her to look over there.

Qiao Qiao looked over strangely and found that Zou Xing was on the phone, and as if he was afraid of being overheard, he held the phone with his hand and said something into the phone while staring at Haidie fiercely.

What does he want to do?

The last note disappeared into the air, and Haidie finished singing.

No one in the audience applauded, and the audience seemed to have not yet come out of the afterglow of the singing. Everyone lowered their heads and savored the moment. This unprecedented scene forced the bar owner to stand on the stage again and remind everyone that they can vote now.

However, before he finished speaking, a large number of people suddenly poured into the door.

Qiao Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, and when he turned to look at Zou Xing, the latter once again had a confident expression on his face. It was obvious that these people who suddenly appeared were related to the phone call he just made.

“Sorry, the restaurant is full.” The bar owner was also panicking. These new customers were all young people in their twenties, and they were all new faces. The bar owner couldn’t help but not think too much.

“We don’t want seats, just drinks.” The leader said carelessly, “Beer, Carlsberg, delivered to Brother Zou’s table.”

The bar owner wiped his sweat and said: “I’m sorry, the Carlsberg beer in our store is now used as a vote counting prop. Otherwise, why don’t I replace it with more expensive beer for you for free?”

“What’s wrong? Voting is closed? Why can’t we vote?” the young man shouted dissatisfied.

“This…”

Haidie suddenly stood up, walked to Zou Xing’s desk, and said coldly: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Zou Xing smiled playfully: “Zhang Fan, we don’t stipulate that the audience must listen to two rounds before they are eligible to vote? Everyone who comes is a guest, and anyone who is a guest can vote. If you think it’s unfair, you can also call someone else.”

Qiao Qiao saw Hai Die’s eyes were red, and he had been aroused to the edge of rage by Zou Xing’s abusive tactics. He quickly grabbed him and shook his head at him.

In order to calm the matter, the bar owner had to acquiesce that the votes of this group of people were valid.

The two tables of Qiao Qiao and Zou Xing were quickly filled with two kinds of beer. Zou Xing originally had about ten bottles of beer on his table. On the surface, he had the advantage. However, Qiao Qiao’s side grew very fast. In just a few minutes, it caught up with the advantage created by Bai Zhe, and there were faint signs of surpassing it.

Because one person, one vote needs to be checked slowly, Qiao Qiao felt particularly tortured during those ten minutes. When the other side added a bottle, her heart sank a little. When she added a bottle here, her heart felt a little lighter.

After the counting was completed, it was finally time to count. Qiao Qiao’s heart was beating like a motor, and Hai Die kept moving nervously.

“Page, 35 votes.”

Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened and he thought it was over. There were forty or fifty people in the bar, and Bai Zhe alone took up 35 votes!

Unexpectedly, the bar owner shouted again: “Hai Die, 35 votes.”

A draw!It was actually a draw!

Qiao Qiao almost jumped out of his chair with excitement. What does the draw mean?Except for the little girls who voted for Bai Zhe at the beginning and the last group of young people who arrived, almost all other viewers voted for Haidie!

Haidie was also very excited. He secretly made a fist-clenching motion, turned around and hugged Jing Wen fiercely.

The bar owner smoothed things over: “Since it’s a draw, let’s forget it.”

This result is the best. Just as Qiao Qiao was about to express his agreement, he heard Zou Xing lazily say: “Wait a minute, there’s someone else here who hasn’t voted yet.”

Shang Xue slowly raised his hand: “Me.”
