Chapter 856 Combing Hair
What he signed was not only his name, but also his entire future in this era. After the signing ceremony, Amin jumped up and down excitedly holding the contract: "See, I said that 'Xinghui Records' is reliable! Their recording studio is the best in Hong Kong." However, when Lin Xiao really walked into the company, he found that everything was far from glamorous. The narrow corridor was covered with posters of popular singers. The photo of Wang Qiang wearing sunglasses and smiling occupied the most conspicuous position, and the trophy of "Most Popular Male Singer of the Year" was hung next to it. In the vocal training room, the sound of piano and noisy discussions were intertwined. As soon as Lin Xiao put the sheet music on the music stand, a shrill sneer came from behind him. Wang Qiang leaned against the door frame, holding a cigarette, and the smoke rings slowly floated to the ceiling: "Hey, isn't this the one who sang 'Songs No One Has Heard of'?" He deliberately dragged out the tail sound, attracting the attention of the surrounding trainees. Lin Xiao clenched the metronome in his hand, his knuckles turned white. "What advice do you have, Senior Wang?" "Not really an advice." Wang Qiang flicked the ash off his cigarette, and the butt landed precisely at Lin Xiao's feet. "I just want to remind some people that you can't gain a foothold in the music industry by taking shortcuts." When he got closer, Lin Xiao smelled the strong scent of cologne mixed with alcohol on him. "I heard that the company is going to release an album for you? Don't ruin its reputation and embarrass us old guys."
He didn't know how he had traveled through time, nor did he know if he could go back. He was filled with anxiety and fear. Just then, the door creaked open, and a fashionable young girl walked in. She was wearing loose jeans with her trouser legs rolled up to reveal her slender ankles. She was wearing a T-shirt with an exaggerated pattern on it. The pattern was a colorful rock bear, baring its teeth and claws as if it was about to jump out of the clothes. Her slightly curly long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the ends of her hair were dyed a light yellow, which gave off a soft luster under the light. She had delicate light makeup on her face and bright lipstick on, and she exuded youthful vitality. When the girl saw Lin Xiao, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Ah Xiao, what's wrong with you? You seem strange." She walked quickly to the bedside, reached out and touched Lin Xiao's forehead, and then looked at his face carefully, "You don't have a fever, are you too tired from rehearsing last night?" Lin Xiao's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said: "I... I have a headache, maybe I was confused because of sleep. Who are you?" As soon as he said it, he regretted it. This question was too abrupt, and he hoped it would not arouse suspicion. The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You didn't forget me after sleeping, did you? I'm Amin, your agent." She sat down on the chair beside the bed, picked up a comb from the table, and said while combing her hair, "To be honest, Ah Xiao, you have been under too much pressure recently, and you have started to talk nonsense. But it's no wonder, this performance is too important to you." "Agent?" Lin Xiao's heart moved, did he travel through time and become a star? But he knew nothing about the original owner of this body, what if he was exposed? Before he could ask in detail, Amin continued, "There is an important performance tonight, on a big stage in the city center, and many big names in the circle will be there. You have to prepare well, this is a good opportunity to make your name known. If you perform well, you won't have to worry about resources in the future." Lin Xiao looked at Amin's serious expression and could only nod his head. He thought frantically in his heart that although he was a singer in modern times, his music style was completely different from that in the 90s, and he was not clear about the singing skills of this body. If he made a fool of himself on the stage, it would not only ruin the future of the "original owner", but also what consequences would be caused. Amin didn't seem to notice Lin Xiao's anxiety, and stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "I'm telling you, I have arranged the process of this performance. Go to the sound check at one o'clock in the afternoon, put on makeup at three o'clock, and go on stage at five o'clock. You should eat something now to replenish your energy." She walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the sun instantly filled the room, "I'll go buy you breakfast, remember to sing the new song you learned yesterday." After Amin left, Lin Xiao sighed deeply. He looked around the room, trying to learn more about the original owner of this body. On the bookshelf were several music textbooks and sheet music, as well as some yellowed performance photos. The "self" in the photos was wearing gorgeous performance costumes and standing on the stage radiantly. On the back of the photo were some dates and places, which seemed to be records of past performances. He opened a sheet music, which was densely filled with annotations. The handwriting was neat and powerful, showing the original owner's love and dedication to music. Lin Xiao closed his eyes and tried to search for the memory of the original owner in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything except a headache. Time passed by minute by minute, and Lin Xiao forced himself to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to panic. Since he had traveled here, he could only find a way to survive, and live a wonderful life. He stood up, walked to the mirror, and looked at the strange yet familiar face in the mirror. This face was somewhat similar to his modern face, but it also had the youthfulness and vitality unique to the 90s. "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it." Lin Xiao said to himself in the mirror, his eyes gradually becoming firmer. He decided to start with tonight's performance. Since the original owner was a singer, he would use his knowledge of modern music to see if he could make a name for himself in this era. Just as he was thinking about it, Amin came back with breakfast. The plastic bag was filled with steaming buns and soy milk, and the aroma was fragrant. "Eat quickly, and get ready after eating." Amin put the breakfast on the table and took out a performance schedule from his bag, "Take a look and familiarize yourself with the process. By the way, you said last night that you wanted to change your singing style. What did you think?" Lin Xiao's heart tightened. The original owner actually planned to change his singing style? He thought quickly and said, "I think we can add some more affectionate elements to make the song more infectious." This answer was ambiguous, hoping to get away with it. Amin's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea! I always say you have new ideas. OK, let's discuss it with the band during the sound check this afternoon." She looked at the watch, "It's getting late, you should eat quickly, and I'll go to the karaoke room with you after you finish eating." Lin Xiao picked up the bun and took a bite. The familiar taste made him feel warm, as if he had finally found a little comfort in this strange era. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he was ready to write his own legend in this 90s.
