Chapter 254 Is He Crazy?

Some people...

Chasing for the spotlight.

In the applause and cheers, they gradually lost themselves and enjoyed the gift of fame.

Some people...

They are talented, and any casual writing is a hit, and any casual shooting is an actor.

And some people...

Work hard, hone their skills over and over again, and persist in doubting and suffering...

Then, he finally became famous!

But fame did not stop him. Instead, he wanted to break through himself and reach another peak!

But...

How difficult is it to break through the peak?

Ah K himself is a paranoid person.

If he was not paranoid, he would not have been wandering in Yanjing for six years, and in pain, he would have persisted in his original dream.

"In the Rain" made him famous!

He once briefly enjoyed the huge benefits that fame and fortune gave him.

But...

At the same time, there were doubts on the Internet.

They questioned whether his "In the Rain" was a product packaged by capital, questioned whether he would go downhill after leaving [Star Future], and even questioned that "In the Rain" was not created by him.

Doubts...

No matter which artist has them, this is one of the "scenery" that must be passed on the road to fame.

It is very common and normal, and there are not many netizens who question A K. After all, the real sales of "In the Rain" are there, and the fans have always been there.

But...

A K somehow got stuck in a dead end.

He has put in unimaginable energy and sweat for "In the Rain" and "Midsummer". He has suffered so much. He has tasted loneliness and despair in so many dark times!

This experience has made him more paranoid in his heart, even to the point of not allowing anyone to question him.

Of course, these can still be tolerated!

But...

When [NC Entertainment] was established, he received calls from [Shengshi Entertainment] and [Starlight Future]...

The other party was very enthusiastic at first, inviting him, talking to him about the prospects of his company, and how to package him.

When he learned that he had no intention of changing jobs, the other party's attitude began to cool down.

Advise him to face the reality!

Talk to him about capital, why "In the Rain" became popular, resources, connections...

But, never tell him how excellent his work is!

Angry!

The flame of anger was completely ignited at that moment!

These people devalued his value to an extreme, as if becoming famous overnight was a coincidence, or even a "charity".

He firmly believed in his bones that as long as the work is good enough and strong enough, it can still be a big hit even if there are very few resources!

Resources are always auxiliary!

He began to use anger as power, began to create, began to create crazily, and then wrote one song after another!

But...

It's all garbage...

He watched it over and over again, and then found that no song could surpass "In the Rain"!

The unwilling emotion continued to wrap up the anger and paranoia!

Continue to create!

But, creation is never something you can force out.

If you are eager for success, how can there be any good works?

………………………………

“Maybe, I’m really done.”

The overpass at night.

It’s still noisy.

There are still so many unknown wandering singers.

They are singing, singing hysterically, hoping that one day, they can become famous overnight like Ah K.

But…

There are never many lucky people.

The wind blows.

Ah K finally calmed down.

He lowered his head after calming down.

Despair filled his surroundings, and he even envied those wandering singers singing on the overpass.

But he couldn’t tell why he envied her, and there was no reason for it.

Maybe, he really doesn’t have any talent.

It’s also possible that he has talent, but this talent is not enough to support him to go further.

Is his upper limit, his talent here?

Maybe, his success is really the packaging of capital?

Perhaps, he can only be like countless singers, who became famous because of one or two songs, and after one or two songs, he gradually became obscure and could only survive...

Complex thoughts emerged in his mind again and again, and he became disappointed.

"Don't be pessimistic, you are just eager for success, the road is still long..."

"But I have lost that feeling, Mr. Zhang, no matter what creation needs feeling, and I no longer have that feeling..."

On the overpass.

Ah K sighed faintly.

When he sang "In the Rain", he was very humble. When he was humble, people would have many fantasies, visions, and desires for the future.

Every time he sang this song, he could integrate his soul, and then, he sang it hoarsely without worrying about anything...

When he was creating, he never thought about sales, popularity, or how popular it would be...

Later, he succeeded, and after a short period of joy, he found that his state of mind also changed.

He felt the pressure of "becoming famous"!

When he was writing the song, he was thinking about how the song would sell in the future, whether it could surpass "In the Rain", whether it could break the shackles and reach a higher level.

And whether it would fail...

With more and more messy thoughts, I began to be restrained and it was difficult to be as pure as before.

"You are eager to succeed, but are you afraid of disappointment?"

"I am afraid, I am very afraid, Mr. Zhang, we have left [Starlight Future], we are now fighting alone, I am the music director of [NC Entertainment], I am the person in charge of the entire project, I must make a good first shot, "In the Rain" is not high enough, and it is still far from it... If I fail, our entire music project will be paralyzed, which will seriously hit morale! Many people outside are watching me and laughing at us. I can't imagine what kind of ridicule there will be from the outside world after my new album flopped..." Ah K got excited again, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

He said a lot of things.

Zhang Sheng looked at him seriously: "Ah K, we originally had nothing. If we lose it, we will just have to start from scratch!"

"But we have had a hard time along the way. We finally have a foothold. I can't bear to lose it..."

"Take a good rest and don't think about the new album."

"I have advised myself this before, but I have been suffering from insomnia, anxiety, depression..."

"I will help you find a songwriter."

"Mr. Zhang, can I become a superstar!"

"You can!"

"Can I?"

"You can!"

Ah K stared at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng nodded, his eyes were firm, and his voice was more serious than ever!

Ah K asked several times.

Zhang Sheng also answered several times!

Then, Ah K nodded and clenched his fists!

"I can write, I can write, I have talent, I definitely have talent! I am the future superstar, the real superstar with real strength!"

Ah K said this sentence over and over again, biting his lips until they bled.

Then...

He suddenly shouted on the overpass!

I didn't know what he was shouting, but he suddenly went crazy and roared like a beast.

The eyes of passers-by were attracted by him!

After shouting, he suddenly laughed again.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, I'll ask you for a leave of absence, half a month's leave!"

He shouted loudly.

After shouting, he suddenly laughed, ripped off his clothes, and ran forward like crazy.

He ran faster and faster, and finally his back could not be seen!

But...

Zhang Sheng stood there quietly and watched.

Not long after, a group of interview cars appeared in the distance, and a group of reporters excitedly walked towards Ah K.

Zhang Sheng silently glanced at the sky.

The madness of Ah K seemed to have penetrated into his soul.

Even Zhang Sheng, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, felt a sense of creepiness coming towards him.

………………………………

The next day.

When Zhang Sheng returned to the company, he saw countless reporters outside the company.

When the reporters saw Zhang Sheng, they were so excited that they surrounded him.

They handed the microphone and asked questions about Ah K one by one.

Zhang Sheng did not respond, but walked into the company silently.

"Boss Zhang, is Ah K crazy?"

As soon as he entered the company, he saw Shen Xiaoxi walking towards Zhang Sheng with a serious face and showed Zhang Sheng the latest news.

[Famous singer Ah K ran naked on the street, suspected of encountering a bottleneck in his creation...]

[Famous singer Ah K, sleeping under the overpass, clashed with a homeless man for a pack of instant noodles! ]

[Shocked, famous singer Ah K smashed his guitar on the street! Suspected of being traumatized...]

[...]

After seeing the news, Zhang Sheng was not shocked.

"He is not crazy, and he is more normal than anyone else. He is just looking for a breakthrough channel!"

"Breakthrough?" Shen Xiaoxi looked at Zhang Sheng, then looked at the news, with a blank face.

"Yes, you go to work..."

"Okay!"

Zhang Sheng returned to the office.

Various actions of Ah K emerged in his mind.

Although the actions were crazy and even abnormal, Zhang Sheng vaguely felt that Ah K was not crazy, but more sober than ever!

He was just venting the invisible pressure in his heart in various ways!

He wanted to find the feeling of "creation"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Sheng stopped thinking.

Then, he carefully checked the progress of the movie "Seven Days to Die"...

Half an hour later...

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Mr. Zhang..."

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"

"I don't know what's going on. It seems... After we started the company, everyone is not quite right!" Shen Xiaoxi's expression was very complicated, and she looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"What happened?"

"Tang Wu, Mr. Tang seems to be crazy..."

"Why is he crazy?"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he was stunned.

"I don't know how to explain it. Um, Chen Mengting, Mr. Chen is coming here soon. Let Mr. Chen tell you. Um, Mr. Tang is here too. The two of them are arguing fiercely..." Shen Xiaoxi was about to say something when the phone rang. After answering the phone, Shen Xiaoxi became more and more exciting.

"Oh..."

Zhang Sheng nodded.

Ah K is crazy, it seems understandable, after all, he is paranoid to the bone, seeking the so-called breakthrough!

But he really can't figure it out...

Why is Tang Wu crazy too?

Is it possible that there is something wrong with the feng shui of this new company?
