Evan’s Trials in Tinseltown Chapter 6

Evan Yu followed Mason Meng and sat in the box. The flowers and trees outside the window were sparse, and the branches and leaves fell on the white walls through the light of the street lamp, leaving ink-like shadows.

Mason Meng reached out and handed a menu written with a calligraphy pen to Evan Yu, "You have been working hard in class during this period, so feel free to order whatever you want, and don't be afraid that you, Brother Meng, will be destitute."

Evan Yu took the menu and ordered one meat and two vegetables without any courtesy. Mason Meng added another meat, one vegetable and one soup, and then rang the copper bell placed by the table. Two waitresses wearing dark blue embroidered cheongsam opened the door and walked in, taking away the menus.

Mason Meng didn't intend to waste the time he was waiting for the food to be served.

"While I'm free now, I'll tell you about the four other people who will be recording the show with you tomorrow. Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll be able to fight a hundred battles with no danger."

Evan Yu took a sip of the astringent scented tea and said with a smile, "I was planning to ask this question."

Mason Meng didn't talk nonsense, ""The Sound of Heaven" has always done a good job in keeping secrets. They only spent a lot of money to promote the show in advance, but they never mentioned who would participate in the competition, nor did they inform the participating singers in advance.

Because of this, many tepid newcomers actively took advantage of the popularity, and by the way, they also created a wave of popularity for the program team. "

Evan Yu held a cup made of green bamboo and asked curiously, "Brother Meng, how did you know?"

"Isn't this simple? I got the list from Lao He openly and honestly." Mason Meng said confidently, and he laughed after saying, "I'll count with you. One is called Zhao Ruo, who sang two months ago It was the ending song of an idol drama. Her voice is sweet and her singing skills are average. "

"The second one is Xu Xuan, a member of a newly debuted girl group. She can sing and dance, and is the most popular in their group. This time she participated in "Sounds of Heaven" because she definitely wanted to rely on her strength and get another chance to win. Wave of popularity."

Mason Meng commented, "Comparing these two female singers horizontally, Zhao Ruo is much weaker. Then there are three male singers, you, Fang Huai, and Xia Mingxi."

Evan Yu answered, "I know Fang Huai. He released a single before." He added, "Sister Rourou helped me sort out the information about new singers in recent times."

"She is very attentive." Mason Meng tapped his finger on the table and continued, "But I don't really pay attention to this Fang Huai. He has the personality of a shy and warm man, and his image, temperament and strength can only be considered. In the middle, to be honest, I still don’t like Father Meng.”

Evan Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and understood, "So the finale is Xia Mingxi?"

"It's him." Mason Meng exclaimed, "He was born with a precious spoon in his mouth, and he's talking about Xia Mingxi." He continued, "Xia Mingxi's father's name is Xia Yuan, and her mother's name is Zhang Lan. The king of singers and actresses have been popular for decades. , he is an only son, and his ancestral fans are already in place, just waiting for him to make his debut. Moreover, I have met Xia Mingxi twice. He really thrives on the advantages of his parents. Just like you, it is purely relying on it. The type that makes people angry just because of their face."

Evan Yu touched his face and emphasized with a smile, "Brother Meng, I am obviously planning to rely on my talent!"

Mason Meng also laughed, "Yes, yes, you can rely on your face, but you have to rely on your talent and willfulness!"

The two drank a cup of scented tea, and Mason Meng concluded, "So the one who is eliminated in the first round is probably Zhao Ruo. What I ask of you is to take it slow and steady, so that all the viewers who watch this show will remember you." "

Evan Yu didn't say anything. He shook the bamboo cup with his lower hand and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Brother Meng, I had an idea when I was practicing dancing. I don't know if it can work."

Mason Meng raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it?"

Evan Yu simply stated his thoughts and waited for Mason Meng to express his position with some uncertainty. Mason Meng rubbed the bamboo cup and looked at Evan Yu with a smile in his eyes, "I think I can go back and prepare the draft."

Yu Qingqing coughed, a little embarrassed, "Do you think it can be done?"

menu , your idea is very good!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door. After the box door was opened from the outside, the ordered dishes were served one after another. A waitress wearing a dark blue cheongsam gently explained the cooking methods and uses of the dishes. of raw materials.

When the last two dishes were served, Mason Meng was confused, "We didn't order these two dishes. Was it the wrong one?"

The waitress smiled brightly, "This dish of braised yellow croaker with black bean sauce and fish belly soup with black bean sauce was given to you by our head chef, Fu."

Hearing the names of these two dishes, Evan Yu noticed the last two dishes that were served. He was stunned and hesitated, "Excuse me...is the chef's surname Shen?"

The waitress smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Mason Meng understood clearly, "Someone you know?"

Evan Yu nodded, "Yeah, someone I know."

When the waitress closed the door and went out, Mason Meng was still a little surprised, "I have eaten here several times. Master Shen has a very bad temper. He is impatient to see many gourmets who want to meet him. You can cook according to your mood. If you are not in a good mood, Okay, no matter how much money you give, I won’t do it.”

He looked at the two extra dishes and estimated, "I must have seen you coming and wanted to see you, but I didn't want to interrupt you rashly. I might as well send you two dishes to explore the way. I think that if there is no deep hatred, You can go meet me after dinner. Maybe in the future, I can take advantage of you and enjoy Master Shen's cooking every time I come over."

Evan Yu smiled slightly, "Well, then, Brother Meng, wait for me after dinner."

After the meal, Evan Yu followed the waitress and turned left and right into the kitchen.

Shen Wei's eyes turned red when he saw Evan Yu.

Evan Yu was funny but helpless, "Uncle Shen, if you cry, I will laugh at you."

Chen Wei wiped the wet corners of his eyes when he heard this, and looked Evan Yu up and down several times, "Young Master, are you okay?"

Evan Yu used the data to reassure the other party, "I'm fine. I'm a few centimeters taller than three years ago, and I'm also a lot heavier."

Shen Wei was worried, "After the old lady passed away, I shouldn't have listened to your words and left. If I stayed, I could cook you two meals a day." He has been a cook in the Yu family for thirty years. Watching Evan Yu grow up.

After listening to his words, Evan Yu was dazed for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled, "I am the only one left at home. I was in college before and lived in the school, so I didn't have the chance for you to show off. And I myself Now I can cook, so I won’t lose weight.”

Shen Wei frowned, "How can I let you, young master, cook by yourself? I ------"

"Uncle Shen," Evan Yu interrupted him, his voice softer, "I have to learn to live alone. I have grown up."

Shen Wei didn't say any more, sighed, and turned the topic to the food, "You have loved eating yellow croaker with black bean sauce and fish belly soup since you were a child. I haven't made it for a long time, and I don't know if it suits your taste." "

Evan Yu deliberately widened his eyes and said exaggeratedly, "How could it not be to my taste? I finished two plates of food by myself and almost ate them all!"

Shen Wei smiled with gentleness in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, "The young master still likes to make me happy just like he did when he was a child."

The two chatted for a few more words. Evan Yu didn't want to keep Mason Meng waiting any longer, so he prepared to go back without staying any longer. Before leaving, I remembered what Mason Meng said and said, "The friend who came with me likes to eat your cooking."

The smile lines on Shen Wei's face deepened, "Young master's friends are my honored guests."

Evan Yu smiled sheepishly, with a bit of a boyish look on his face, "Thank you, Uncle Shen. Next time I'm hungry, I'll come to you to fry some small yellow croaker."

After coming out of the back kitchen, Evan Yu walked back along the original road alone. The night breeze is cool and carries the faint smell of vegetation. A lot of memories were brought back to him. He was anxious to move out before, but now he suddenly felt homesick.

But in that home, he was the only one left.

Xavier Xie originally couldn't stand the noise made by Qu Xiaoran while playing games, so he went out for a walk. He didn't expect to meet Evan Yu again.

Coincidentally.

After standing quietly for a while, he found that Evan Yu seemed to be in a daze. He hesitated and approached, "Evan Yu."

Hearing someone calling his name, Evan Yu came back to his senses, saw it was Xavier Xie, and said with a smile, "Are you out for a walk?"

"Yeah." Xavier Xie said carefully, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Evan Yu shook his head, "No, I just remembered some things from the past." He smiled again, "I'm going to record the first episode of "The Sound of Heaven" tomorrow. To be honest, I'm still a little nervous."

"Don't be nervous." You must be first.

But to be on the safe side, Xavier Xie was already planning in his mind how to exclusively fund the show.

Evan Yu did not continue talking. Although he had met Xavier Xie a few times, he was not familiar with him. He probably did not have the time to listen to his mood.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xavier Xie again, smiled and said goodbye, "My agent is still inside, so I'll go back first."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a touch of light pink. Evan Yu raised his hand and brushed away a few rose petals that had fallen on his shoulders.

Xavier Xie regretfully retracted his hand before he could make any move.
