I am a super cop

Chapter 1565 The Neighbor Girl Without Saying Goodbye

In the hut, Gu Chen also learned some inside stories about the production of music albums from Gao Mingyang.

I feel like this is actually a waste of money.

I used to listen to songs on major music platforms, but I didn't understand the process behind the songs at all.

As for those songs with rankings, Gu Chen became more and more confused the more he listened, wondering if it was his taste that was wrong?Or is it decoupled from the taste of the music platform?

The authority of the list seems to be getting weaker and weaker.

As for a newcomer like Gao Mingyang, even if he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and produced a music album, if there is no follow-up publicity investment, it is doomed to nothing.

Especially in the current environment, the definition of an album is relatively diverse. Many singers no longer release physical records, but directly sell digital albums online.

This form saves a lot of money compared to the previous entity, but it is more serious to spend money to rank on the list.

Without the backing support of the gold master, many high-quality songs will continue to be withdrawn from the list, so the works that dominate the screen often have investment in publicity.

Seeing Gu Chen making a fuss here, Gao Mingyang smiled and said, "Nowadays, everyone doesn't have strict requirements for the tracks of the album."

"In the past, a singer released an album with at least 10 tracks, or even more."

"Nowadays singers like to release EPs of two or three songs, or mini-albums of six or seven songs, and these situations can be generalized as an album."

"There is also the issue of the quality of the album. For a high-quality album, the production process must go through the pre-determining theme concept, song collection, recording, post-production, release, and MV shooting, etc."

With a faint sigh, Gao Mingyang also said in frustration: "Of course, if it's an original singer, you can save the link of collecting songs."

"Now everyone is more concerned about the overall concept of an album, just like a patchwork record, people will not buy it."

"So in view of the above complicated reasons, the cost of a studio album is not so easy to estimate."

"If the whole process is used to save money, I think hundreds of thousands can be made."

"And if you are serious about creating an exquisite record, there is no limit to the cost, and there are albums that cost several million or tens of millions."

Seeing Gu Chen staring at him all the time, Gao Mingyang was a little puzzled, and quickly asked Gu Chen, "I've already told you about these insider procedures, why are you still looking at me like this?"

"I want to know, have you released an album?" Gu Chen actually thought about it for a long time, wondering if he should mention it?

After all, Gao Mingyang seems to be well aware of the production process of the album, as well as various quotations.

In addition, it is his dream to produce an album, and even the notebook has densely recorded numerous process quotations.

Gao Mingyang has no reason not to try it.

Seeing Gu Chen's tricky question, he hit his own weakness directly.

But when he met Gu Chen, Gao Mingyang also regarded Gu Chen as a friend, and Gu Chen was an outsider, so Gao Mingyang also said in a nutshell:

"Album? Of course, I made an album of my own right after my draft was over in those years."

"But it's a pity that this album, which only released 2000 copies, made me owe a debt of 10,000+."

"At the same time, my father, who was far away in my hometown, also passed away due to illness, which made me owe more than 30 yuan in debt."

Rubbing his face with his hands, Gao Mingyang suddenly fell silent.

The heavy reality made this originally free and easy boy suddenly have melancholy eyes, and he seemed to have no temperament to stop singing last night.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen also nodded silently, and asked him softly: "Then this year, have you been singing in bars for a living?"

"Hehe." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Gao Mingyang laughed dryly twice, and replied with a sigh:

"Actually, apart from participating in a music festival in Hubei province in the first half of the year, I haven't participated in any performances for several months."

"Then what is your main source of income these days?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

Gao Mingyang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Financial resources? I don't have any financial resources. I think I'm just... a floating one..."

After hesitating for a while, Gao Mingyang replied with a wry smile: "Ham, it's actually no different from a wandering singer."

"However, it's not that I don't have the opportunity to perform. I emerged in the draft that year and received many invitations."

"That's good. Having an invitation shows that you are valuable." Of course Gu Chen believed that Gao Mingyang actually had this strength.

The two songs last night alone showed Gao Mingyang's sincerity towards music.

Such a singer is not invited, which is unreasonable.

But Gao Mingyang shook his head helplessly, and complained, "But it's a pity, I don't like these so-called 'performances' at all."

"Why?" Gu Chen frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Gao Mingyang put his head in his hands, and suddenly fell into depression: "There is no reason, everyone is thinking, and they want to satisfy the ideal side and the reality side, but it's impossible."

"I think very few people can achieve both, very few, really very few."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Gao Mingyang also said with a haggard face: "Whether it includes those rich businessmen or those big stars, it is rare that the two can be combined to make them very happy."

"I think I'm more likely to be idealistic. Ideals are always young."

"So, for my songs, I require that they be very real and impact the soul. Sometimes I just listen to myself and listen to stories."

"Thank you, Gao Mingyang."

Seeing Gao Mingyang expressing his emotions there and telling Gu Chen what was in his heart, Gu Chen also expressed his gratitude to him.

But Gao Mingyang stared blankly, and asked with some surprise: "You...what are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for allowing us to calm down and listen to other people's stories, and then think about our own in this era of material flow and money." Gu Chen said.

Gao Mingyang snorted and laughed, "Perhaps there are too few people like you who can understand me."

"Little young people just know how to hum the tune. What kind of real and spiritual ones will they think it is?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head, and said truthfully, "At least, I'm the one who heard your song at the scene."

"This is the only state I've ever heard where you're really just listening to a song quietly without any interaction. You're really Qingliu."

"Also, what I like is your authenticity, sincerity and uncompromising attitude towards reality."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "As you said yourself, you tend to be idealistic, so you can stick to yourself. Walking hard, I feel sorry for a singer like you."

"And in this chaotic and complicated world, it is really rare to be able to stick to the purity of the heart."

"Brother Gu Chen, you...you praise me too much." Few people praised Gao Mingyang like this.

When Gu Chen told himself what was deep in his heart in words, Gao Mingyang discovered for the first time that there are people who understand the depth of his heart.

Gu Chen looked around at this shabby room for a few times, and also complained, "You haven't married yet, have you?"

"What kind of family is it? Wasn't there a girl from the southwest living in the small courtyard before? I fell in love with her, but unfortunately, she left without saying goodbye."

"I originally thought that she was also interesting to me, but she..."

In the middle of speaking, Gao Mingyang, who had always been rebellious, suddenly choked up.

With a heavy sigh, Gao Mingyang was also helpless and a little irritable.

"But she didn't say goodbye to you, did she just leave in such a hurry?" Gu Chen asked.

Gao Mingyang leaned on the table and nodded fiercely: "That's right, the two of us have been very happy getting along here before, and she often comes to my room to listen to me playing the guitar and singing."

"One night, the two of us sang and drank in the room and ended up sleeping together."

"Hmm?" Gu Chen stared at Gao Mingyang when he was sleeping together.

Gao Mingyang was afraid that Gu Chen might misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Brother Gu Chen, don't get me wrong, she has always been a pure existence in my mind, and the two of us are actually more like buddies."

"After getting drunk that day, we talked about ideals and the future together, and then we got tired in a daze, and then fell asleep."

"But when the two of us woke up, we both found each other sleeping in the same bed, but nothing happened to us, we were just too tired."

"After all, can you imagine it? We can talk about our ideals for one night, and even talk about getting married and having children in the future, and how to enter retirement life in old age."

After a pause, Gao Mingyang looked out the window with a confused face, and laughed at himself wryly:

"It's a pity, if I knew I would leave the other party with a sense of mystery, I just told her everything about myself, so that she knew exactly what kind of person I would become in the future. "

"Then from now on, the relationship between the two of you..."

"It's much better." Before Gu Chen could finish his question, Gao Mingyang replied directly: "After talking with her all night, our relationship has become a step closer."

"She's a girl with a lot of ideas, and I'm also a singer who pursues music dreams. It seems that after that night, we both opened our hearts to each other."

"However, 10 days later, after I finished singing in the bar that day, I took the roses I bought on the street and prepared to confess to her."

"I found that the door of her room was closed, and no matter how I called her, she didn't respond."

"She left?" Gu Chen asked.

Gao Mingyang nodded silently: "That's right, he walked away quietly that night, and didn't even take all his things with him."

"I thought she had gone to live with a fellow countryman, but it wasn't until the landlord came to clean up the house that I found out that she had left here that night."

"Have you returned to your hometown?" Gu Chen asked.

Gao Mingyang shook his head: "I... I don't know, and she didn't tell anyone where she was going. In short, she just disappeared in my world."

"And because of her leaving, I became distraught all day long, and even became more and more angry."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Gao Mingyang also said truthfully: "Actually, I was in a bad mood yesterday. A large part of the reason was because I saw a famous woman in the audience who looked like her, but after a closer look, it wasn't."

"They were noisy there, which made me very irritable. Originally, when I sang the song I wrote for her, I was supposed to listen quietly, but at that time, it was so noisy that after I finished singing, I went on strike and left .”

"So that's the case?" After hearing Gao Mingyang's narration, Gu Chen finally realized that Gao Mingyang's departure from the show was largely due to the departure of the Southwestern girl.

Quietly, without even saying hello, and the two of them are very good friends, and even talked about their ideal plans all night, and even shared the same bed.

With such an emotion, according to Bao Chen's understanding, Gao Mingyang should be with her, and the two will fight together in the future.

But who would have thought?Who would have thought?This southwestern woman unexpectedly left without saying goodbye, and disappeared from Gao Mingyang's world ever since.

No wonder Gao Mingyang was so depressed.

It is difficult for a normal person to live calmly after being hit like this.

What's more, Gao Mingyang is still a folk singer, living a life without a bar performance every day.

It seems ironic to have to keep reminding yourself that you are a singer.

Gu Chen let out a long sigh, and patted Gao Mingyang's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Then he continued to ask him: "What are your plans for the future? Continue to wander?"

"I don't know either." Gao Mingyang shook his head, but also looked worried: "I'm very anxious now, I don't know whether to stick to original songs and continue wandering around the world, or to stabilize and create with peace of mind."

"My suggestion is the latter." Hearing what Gao Mingyang said, Gu Chen also gave a suggestion: "I suggest you find a job singing in a bar first, earn some living expenses, at least you won't let yourself starve to death."

"Secondly, if you really want to stick to your music dream, I suggest you use your spare time to polish your works. I believe that one day, there will be a suitable opportunity for you."

"At the same time, I can also help you ask friends in the TV station to see if there is a job in a music production company or a commercial performance. Take your time, it will be faster, and we are not in a hurry."

"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Gao Mingyang suddenly realized, and agreed, "I really should take my time, so it's faster."

"I used to be impatient, but now I have to restrain myself. After all, there are no relatives to worry about at home."

"Your father passed away, so you still have your mother?" Gu Chen said.

Gao Mingyang shook his head: "Not long after I was born, my mother ran away. It is my father who has been working hard to bring me up."

"Now that my father has passed away, I have nothing to worry about. Except that I can sing and write songs more than those Sanhe masters, I feel that I really don't have many bright spots."

Just as Gao Mingyang finished speaking, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that it was his father Gu Baichuan calling, Gu Chen pressed the answer button directly: "Hello, Dad."

"Gu Chen, have you sent the person home yet?" Gu Baichuan's question came from the phone.

Gu Chen smiled and said: "It has been delivered, and I am chatting with him."

"Oh, that's pretty good. Come back quickly after you deliver the person. I've already bought all the vegetables. Come back quickly and help your mother make dumplings together."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Gu Chen hung up the phone and turned to look at Gao Mingyang: "Then what, why don't you come to my house for lunch?"

"Hehe, why are you so embarrassed?" Hearing Gu Chen's kind invitation, Gao Mingyang instinctively rejected Gu Chen.

Gu Chen did not answer the call, but walked to the small refrigerator, opened the upper and lower floors of the refrigerator, and after confirming that there were no ingredients, he replied:
"Look, there's nothing in your refrigerator, just a few pieces of bread and milk, why don't you go to my house for lunch, just an extra pair of chopsticks."

"This……"

Seeing that Gao Mingyang was still hesitating, Gu Chen didn't wait for him to react, he grabbed Gao Mingyang's arm and reminded: "It's really just an extra pair of chopsticks, don't say anything, come to my place for lunch today .”

Being dragged out of the door by Gu Chen, unable to bear Gu Chen's enthusiasm, Gao Mingyang could only nod in agreement: "Then... that's fine, how about I go outside and buy something for your parents?"

"What else do you want to buy? Just go." Gu Chen continued to hold Gao Mingyang, walking all the way on the road he just came from.

In Osmanthus Alley, when he came here just now, Gao Mingyang was stumbling and he hadn't recovered from his drunken state.

Now he dragged Gao Mingyang out of Osmanthus Alley, Gao Mingyang was clearly awake, and after washing his face, his whole body's energy and energy improved a lot.

On the way, Gao Mingyang, who was led by Gu Chen, also asked curiously: "By the way, Gu Chen, what do you do?"

"I'm a policeman." Gu Chen turned his head and said.

"Police?" Hearing about Gu Chen's profession, Gao Mingyang immediately admired him a little more, and his favorability increased instantly.

So he continued to ask: "You must have just returned home not long ago, right?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently, and smiled teasingly: "I just came back from a mission abroad, and I haven't contacted my family for a few days."

"So at noon today, the family will cook a lot of delicious food. Just in time for you to go there, there will be more excitement with more people."

"This...how embarrassing." Although he was a little embarrassed, Gao Mingyang was actually looking forward to it.

After all, there was no rice in the house, so if Gu Chen called him over to eat, at least he would not have to cook.

As a musician, with such an appearance, Gao Mingyang was actually quite embarrassed in front of Gu Chen.

He didn't know how long he followed Gu Chen, but Gao Mingyang discovered that Gu Chen's family lived in Happy Garden.

He led Gao Mingyang up the stairs and opened the door with the key.

At this time, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang were wearing aprons, sitting at the dining table making dumplings.

Seeing Gu Chen coming home, he brought a strange long-haired man with him.

Xiao Xiaofang frowned immediately, and asked weakly, "Son, who is he?"

"An original singer is also my guest." Gu Chen said.
