Chen Ming woke up. To be precise, he woke up from hunger. His entire body was still sore and he was too tired.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. If it wasn't for his stomach grumbling in protest, Chen Ming would probably sleep until tomorrow morning.
He rubbed his messy hair, stretched comfortably, and got up to wash up.
Then, under the surprised gaze of the receptionist, she left the hotel. This hairstyle was too stunning. There was no way she wouldn't be surprised.
Tsk, haven't you seen a handsome guy before? Do you know what an artist is?
All artists were like this!
Alright, compared to eating, looks were more important. She didn't want to be looked at as a weirdo anymore. At least it wouldn't affect the city's appearance.
They crossed the street and entered a small barbershop.
There was no need to take care of his hair. He shaved his head and let him grow it back. His beard was also shaved clean.
Needless to say, after cutting his hair and shaving his beard, his entire person had changed.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He had double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. There was only one word for him: handsome.
This appearance was much more handsome than his previous life. Was this considered a rebirth benefit?
Other than the fact that his face was a little thin and his skin was tanned, this was normal. After wandering the streets for so long, being exposed to the sun and rain, and living in the wind and sleeping in the open, he would definitely turn pale in the future.
The Barber also sighed inwardly. He recalled Chen Ming's sloppy appearance when he came in. After a little tidying up, he had completely changed. The wretched and sloppy man had turned into a handsome man.
After bidding farewell to the hairdresser, he filled his stomach in the small restaurant.
While the bank was still open, he opened an account and got a card.
He left some cash and deposited the rest.
Walking on the street with a thick stack of cash made him feel very insecure. He looked at everyone like a thief.
Then, he went to a mobile phone store and picked around. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He bought a mobile phone that cost a few thousand yuan and a phone card. He charged a few hundred yuan for the phone bill. It was a huge loss. It hurt.
He called Sanpao, but the call went through, but it was recorded. "Hello, this is Xiao Pao. It's not convenient to answer the phone now. Please leave a message after you hear the beep.”
"I'm Chen Ming. I bought a phone. This is my number.”
After hanging up, he played with his phone in the phone shop for a while. It was no different from the phone in his previous life.
He downloaded a few commonly used software, applied for a prestige account, and sent Sanpao a friend verification.
He went to buy a baseball cap to block the little baldy. For the time being, he could not think of anything else to do. Chen Ming decided to go back to the hotel first. He would think of other things later.
When he passed by the lobby, he grinned at the front desk girl, which made the girl a little confused.
Hehe, little guy, you can't recognize me, right?
He returned to his room and turned on the computer. It was time to learn more about other information.
After browsing all kinds of news, gossip websites, and forums for nearly two hours, Chen Ming stopped and stared at the screen thoughtfully.
The technological environment was the same as Earth, but no matter if it was television dramas, movies, or music, there was not a single work from Earth here.
Moreover, their standards were not as good as those on Earth, and there were not many good works. The status of the domestic entertainment industry was similar to that of Earth in his previous life. It was not much compared to other countries.
There was no need to talk about cultural output. It had always been being output and there was not much innovation. Of course, there were also some variety shows similar to those in his previous life.
What was better than his previous life was that the copyright was very good.
There were strict laws protecting intellectual property rights. Piracy was basically non-existent. Moreover, everyone was aware of the authenticity of the copyright. This was a thousand times better than in his previous life.
Compared to the rampant pirated versions in his previous life, this was simply a paradise for creators.
Chen Ming became excited when he thought of this.
Chen Ming didn't have anything else, but all the classic works on Earth were in his head.
Due to hypermnesia, as long as it was an experience or a piece of work, it would unconsciously be deeply imprinted in his mind. Every note and every scene was extremely clear.
But now that he had brought back all his memories, it was fun. Wasn't it like cheating?
There are countless giants standing behind me now.
The original owner's abnormal talent and Chen Ming's huge memory bank perfectly merged and superimposed. Chen Ming's eyes lit up as if he saw countless small money waving at him.
Oh right, hurry up and register the copyrights to the two songs you sang last night.
He filled in his personal information, passed the verification, and logged into the copyright website. He could register the copyright there directly.
It was very convenient. Not only did Chen Ming register " Dead Heart " and " Fake Monk," he also registered dozens of familiar classic songs. There was nothing else, but there were plenty of classic songs. It would be a waste not to use them.
Once the fee was settled, Chen Ming's face was covered in tears. A hundred bills for a song, and he had lost a few thousand dollars again. But it didn't matter. He had to spend this money, and it was worth it.
By the time he was done, it was already night time.
Rubbing her dry eyes, her phone rang.
He picked up the phone. It was Sanpao. Before Chen Ming could speak, Sanpao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Chen Ming. No, I should call you Brother Legend now.”
"What? Brother Legend?"
" You still don't know? You're really popular right now. The video of you singing last night was posted to all your fans. It's been forwarded tens of thousands of times, if not thousands. Now, the netizens are calling you Brother Legend."
" Sigh, it's hard to explain over the phone. You can look it up on the Internet yourself. You can find it by searching for Brother Legend. I'm just done with work. I'll go to the hotel to look for you. Wait for me. Let's eat together and I'll tell you slowly.”
"Okay, call me when you arrive so I can go down.”Chen Ming replied and hung up.
What? This bro has become an internet celebrity? After hanging up the phone, he opened the webpage and searched for " Brother Legend ". As expected, there was a lot of information.
" The most awesome beggar in history, conquering the audience on a crazy rock night."
"Beggar or God of Songs?" Mama Asked Me Why I Kneel and Watch the Video
He's a beggar? I don't believe it!"
" Don't be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend."
" Don't ask me who he is. I only know that he's called Brother Legend."
..
The source was all a short video from a certain blogger. He clicked on it and laughed foolishly. His style that night was really stunning.
The comments below the video were basically all positive. There were good praises, domineering looks, and some asking for the Almighty's identity and background.
Of course, there were also some doubts that were created to create hype. They were deliberately hired to create effects for the show. Chen Ming naturally blocked these.
He had really become an internet celebrity. Although many internet celebrities were one-time-use, there were many new things that no one cared about once the topic passed.
However, now that it was popular, it would be unreasonable if he did not use it to attract some fans.
He applied for a Weibo account, put on a cap, took a selfie, and changed it to his profile picture.
Then, he posted his first Weibo post." Hello, everyone. I'm Chen Ming, the legendary brother.”
Five minutes later…There was no reaction…
Ten minutes later…There was still no reaction…
Should I be shouting at a certain blog,'I am Brother Legend'? It was too high-profile and inappropriate.
twenty minutes later
His phone rang. It should be Sanpao. He picked up the call.
"Hello, San Pao bro? Alright, I'll be right down."
It was more important to eat first.
After exiting the elevator, she saw Sanpao sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, smoking a cigarette and playing with his phone.
After changing his appearance, Chen Ming wanted to play a prank on him. He walked over and sat next to Sanpao.
Sanpao looked up at Chen Ming but didn't recognize him. He lowered his head and continued playing with his phone.
Haha, as expected, I didn't recognize him.
Chen Ming didn't say anything, just quietly sitting next to Sanpao, secretly happy in his heart.
Sanpao was playing with his phone, looking up from time to time to see if anyone was coming down from the elevator. Five minutes later, he finally couldn't wait any longer and called Chen Ming again.
A few seconds later, the call went through, but a crisp ringtone sounded beside him.
Chen Ming couldn't hold it in anymore. He patted Sanpao's shoulder and burst out laughing. Haha.
So you're already down and sitting beside me? I actually didn't notice it?
San Pao was shocked. He took off Chen Ming's cap and said," F * ck, so you're so handsome. No way?" Was it fake? Are you lying to me?"
Stunned, she pressed Chen Ming down and started touching his bald head.“
"You're really a young hunk? Last night, I thought you were trying to trick me.”
"Handsome, right? I saw that you were engrossed in playing with your phone and didn't want to interrupt you.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Ming said.
Brother Sanpao said happily," I'm watching a certain Weibo. After your video was posted, I gained a lot of fans. They're all asking about your Brother Legend. You don't know, but my private messages on a certain Weibo account exploded. They're all asking about you. They didn't annoy me to death. Right,"
Sanpao grabbed Chen Ming's shoulder and raised his phone.
"What?"
"Hey, face the camera and take a short video. Let's start at 123!”
"Hello, everyone. I'm Little Pao Pao. The handsome man sitting next to me is the Brother Legend you're looking for. Don't ask me. I just found out that Brother Legend is so handsome after shaving his beard."
"Come, Brother Legend, greet everyone."
"Uh, hello everyone, I'm Chen Ming.”
"We're going to eat now. I'll try to get Brother Legend drunk and get more information.”
Chen Ming was speechless.
After snapping a few more photos, Sanpao finally stopped." Done. You can apply to add me to a certain account."”
Chen Ming picked up his phone and said,"I've applied. Please scan the code."”
"This is Brother Legend. The Weibo account he just applied for has also revealed the news to you.”
After tagging Chen Ming, Sanpao posted the video and photos.
"Alright, let's eat first."
The two of them came to a small restaurant and sat down to order food.
The Weibo post that had just been posted exploded in an instant.
"No way! Is this Brother Legend?"
"It should be true. Brother San Pao is the host of Rock Night. I might not believe it if others say it.”
"Wow, so he's so handsome. Oh my god.”
"I don't believe it, unless he sings 'Dead Heart'."
"I'll pay attention to the legend first.”
"Boring hype. I told you that I hired a singer to pretend to be a beggar. How can his voice be reduced to that of a beggar?”
"Idiot, I was there that night. I definitely didn't pretend to be a beggar for the show.”
The netizens expressed their opinions.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Sanpao was also constantly looking at it, replying to comments from time to time.
"Even I became popular. Look, my fans have increased by a few thousand.”Sanpao said happily.
"Look at how happy you are." Chen Ming replied.
San Pao took Chen Ming's phone and opened a Weibo account, saying,"Let me see your fans. There should be a lot of people following you.”
"F * ck! How long had it been? It had already exceeded 100,000?”Sanpao exclaimed.
"It's really infuriating to compare people. It's so hard to gather some followers. Chen Ming just opened Weibo and it exploded instantly.
"There are so many messages. Aren't you going to reply?”Sanpao said.
When Chen Ming saw that the dishes were served, he took the phone and said,"Let's eat first.”
Sanpao took a bite of the food and smiled bitterly,"People with real talent are really different. Even if they have nothing, they can easily make a name for themselves.
"Unlike me, I've worked so hard for so many years, but I haven't been able to make a name for myself.
"When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a big star. When I was 18, I left my hometown and came to Beijing alone.
"I sold songs on the streets, worked as a resident singer in a bar for a while, and later participated in some singing talent competitions, but I was rejected in all the auditions. At that time, I always felt that I was a thousand-li horse, but I didn't meet a talent.
"I've been fooling around for a few years. I've been in the small circle in the north for a long time, and I've seen many people.
"Later on, I realized that I really wasn't cut out for it. There were many young people who could sing and look better than me, but there weren't many who could succeed.
" So, I gave up on my dream and switched to being a DJ in a bar. I took on some small activities like hosting small stage commercial performances in supermarkets. That's how I stabilized myself. After so many years, I finally made a name for myself in this area, but that's it. Now that ten years have passed and I'm about to reach thirty, it's time to wake up from my dream.
"All these years, I haven't earned any money, and I still can't afford a house or a car.
"I'm still single. My old mother at home urges me every day.
"I'm thinking about running more places while it's stable. It's good to get more."
Brother Sanpao was a chatterbox. He couldn't stop talking about the past. The plot from last night repeated itself, and Chen Ming calmly ate.
It was not easy to drift north. It was the same in his previous life, and it was the same here. In his previous life, all the artistes who had drifted to the north with dreams would cry when they recalled the past after becoming famous.
These were the ones who made a name for themselves later on, those who failed and went home dejectedly. There were even more who didn't even have the chance to share it with others many years later.
She could only silently reminisce about the bitterness she had suffered.
"Don't just listen to me. Tell me about it too. You said that you were born tall, rich, and handsome. You don't even sing and talk like an ordinary person.”Sanpao raised his glass and toasted Chen Ming.
Chen Ming didn't hesitate either. He swallowed his food and said," I don't have any family members. I'm all alone now."
"When I was young, my family background was pretty good. I learned music and basically knew all kinds of instruments. Maybe it was because I learned everything quickly when I was young. I was a little autistic since I was young and didn't like to talk to people.
" Later, I was admitted to Shanghai Music Academy, but I didn't expect my parents to…" Chen Ming slowly told his own story, of course, it was his own story in this world.
Sanpao sighed after hearing this.
"Let the past be the past." Sanpao advised.
"In the past, I fell down in a daze. Now that I'm awake, of course, I'm thinking about how to get up.
"I plan to find a place to stay first and then look for something to do. I have to survive. I should go into acting. After all, that's all I know.”As he spoke, Chen Ming refilled his beer and clinked glasses with Sanpao.
Brother Sanpao said," With your standard, there's definitely no problem. If you want to stay, my land is not bad. There's an empty house next door. I'll call you later to ask."
"There are all young people like me who came from other places to work in the north. We can all chat together and take care of each other when we get together.”
Chen Ming agreed." Sure, as long as we have a place to stay now. Thank you for making a friend like you."”
"Hey, why are you talking about this? Come, come, let's drink. I'll contact you tomorrow and move in directly.”
They chatted and chatted for two hours during the meal before they went back to their respective rooms. They drank quite a bit.
