the longest dream

Chapter 256 Sweeping the World
"This is FM87.8, the live music studio."

"Today, in response to the strong request of the fans, I will show you this new album again: "I Am a Girl"!"

"The production company of this record is the production company of Dujuan Records, which swept Asia in the first half of the year with numerous awards and sales records of tens of millions. The songwriter, including the arranger, are all the same person. Zhang Qing, a great talent in Huaqing recognized by the three places on both sides of the strait. .”

"The most important thing is that the singer is the girl who looks like a fairy in the MV of "Women's Flower", Zhou Yanyan!"

"Wow, it's worth mentioning that Zhou Yanyan's pictorial sold millions of copies last year!"

"Then let's listen to the title song "I'm a Girl" of this much-anticipated album! One more thing, please Dujuan Records can distribute the goods in the second and third tier markets as soon as possible, otherwise hundreds of thousands of fans call We can't bear to ask for a replay of the album..."

After the brisk and bright prelude sounded, Zhou Yanyan sang with a playful smile: "Don't look at me like this, my face will turn into a red apple, don't pester me like a koala, I don't want to be friends with you……"

On May [-]th, outside the airport hall, the car door opened, Zhang Qing leaned against the car body, listening to the singing on the radio and reading today's newspaper.

Since No. [-] "I'm a Girl" was officially launched, the twelve songs in it have swept all major music stations in China and countless campus broadcasts almost overnight.

Either the playful and lively rhythm, or the poetic lyrics, or the touching family affection, in short, the catchy melody, like a river rushing, unstoppably spread throughout the mainland, and at the same time in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and East Asian countries, caused great popularity.

In addition to "I'm a Girl", there are also "Slow Voice", "Childhood", "Lu Binghua", "Only Mother is Good in the World", "Insects Fly", "Singing and Smile", "Snail and Oriole" ", "The Little Mushroom Picking Girl", "Do You Know", "Farewell" and the Xijiang language song "Let's dance happily".

The reason why there is the last song...Let's put it this way, when "I Am a Girl" was sent to the CCTV music revolving hall, it actually encountered siege.

Warner Hemai, Sony Tengfei, and Universal Hundred Flowers are all powerful music giants with a lot of money and money, and they need resources and resources. After they learned about the release plan of Dujuan Records, the three almost unanimously tacitly monopolized The prime time of CCTV music revolving live broadcast hall.

But because of the last Uighur song, all their thoughts fell through.

[-] is a crucial year, the year of the return of the lost Hong Kong Island, the year of the rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation, and the year of national unity and common prosperity!
And this song, which represents the harmonious coexistence of the Han people, is simply the best brocade embellishment.

When the twelve songs of "I Am a Girl" were broadcast in the CCTV revolving concert hall, the songs of this album wafted everywhere in the north and south of the river, the desert and the east.

From an eighty-year-old woman to a three-year-old child, they can sing a few lines "There is only a mother in the world", which is touching.

On campus, including kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities, there are songs suitable for playing.

The momentum is surging! !
The previous wave created by the three major record companies was instantly dimmed with the release of this album.

But this album, in the mouth of music critics, is not so good.

An overly simple melody and an excessive pursuit of the beauty of the melody can easily be criticized by professionals as vulgar.

That's right, it's like a beauty, beauty is beauty, but she has no soul.

If it weren't for "Farewell" who saved the album's dignity, those music critics would definitely label it as a saliva song album.

As for Zhang Qing, the criticism of Jiang Lang's exhaustion is indispensable.

But the song "Farewell" sublimated the style of this album by more than ten levels in an instant.

This is the comment of Professor Xue Mingkai, director of the Vocal Music Department of Pingjing Conservatory of Music, on the Pingjing Morning Post.

"Boss, it's time."

Li Tie stepped forward and whispered.

Hearing this, Zhang Qing looked up, put away the newspaper, took out a bouquet of flowers from the back seat, and walked to the waiting area of ​​the airport hall.

Quite a few people looked at him sideways. A ruthless kid wearing sunglasses, actually picked up the plane with a bouquet of roses like a foreigner.

Even though this is Pingjing, it's already [-], most adults still feel a little embarrassed...

But young people obviously don't think so, especially Zhang Qing's good looks and calm demeanor, he looks like the leading actor in a TV series.

"here!"

Suddenly, Zhang Qing waved his hand vigorously and shouted at the exit.

After not seeing her for half a year, Qi Juan seemed to have changed a lot.

The short hair in high school has become long hair fluttering.

A white knee-length dress with some simple folds and a red flower at the corner of the skirt.

His eyes, which are as bright as the sun in early summer, are full of smiles, and he walks unhurriedly, pulling a suitcase, as if even the time has become much brighter...

Seeing the surprise in Zhang Qing's eyes who came to greet him with a few strides, Qi Juan couldn't help but giggled and said, "It was Shanshan who tailored the dress for me before she left, saying that men like it the most. Qing Zi , Sure enough... oh?"

But her eyes fell on the roses held by Zhang Qing, and her smile became brighter and brighter.

After Zhang Qing handed over the flowers, she stepped forward and hugged her: "The [-] days of missing each other made the happiness of this moment reach its peak!"

Qi Juan smiled softly, stood on tiptoe slightly, rested her chin on Zhang Qing's shoulder, and said softly: "Do you dare not go to my house first, but go back to your house first?"

Zhang Qing's face was full of remorse: "You should tell your uncle and aunt that your plane arrived at night!"

Qi Juan giggled, stood up straight and said, "Okay, look at your face... are you holding back so hard?" she asked in a low voice before the last sentence.

Zhang Qing couldn't do it anymore, he said speechlessly, "What do you think?"

Qi Juan couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "Go to your house tomorrow! Let's go, take me home first, my parents are waiting!"

Zhang Qing was not happy anymore, and said: "Go back to our house first, and then go to your house in an hour, just say the plane is delayed."

Qi Juanle, as long as Zhang Qing dares, she will definitely accompany her.

It's a pity that Zhang Qing's phone rang just as soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, and when he answered it, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Auntie, I got it! Yes, let's go back and get in the car right away!"

Qi Juan laughed and asked mischievously: "Mom, I'm going to the house over the Beichizi first. Zhang Qing said that the roses in the backyard are blooming! I'll see you and Dad in the afternoon."

Li Suzhi said lightly: "No! The meal is ready and waiting, you want to turn the world upside down?"

Qi Juan insisted: "I don't care! Who told you and my father not to let me come to Pingjing early and insist on staying in Tianhong for so long? I'm in a hurry for two or three hours now?"

Li Suzhi simply sneered: "Zhang Qing?"

Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll be home in half an hour at most."

Li Suzhi said "hmm" and said with satisfaction: "You are still sensible. Aunt Gu will be here soon, and she is here to see Juanzi. Take her back early."

After Zhang Qing answered, hung up the phone, looked at Qi Juan and said, "Let's go, go home, my heart is at peace now."

Qi Juan smiled, took Zhang Qing's arm, and nodded thanks with Li Tie who came up to take over the suitcase, and then got into the car together.

"Is your level too high? No one in my mother's system is qualified to be a security officer."

After getting into the car, holding the rose in her arms, Qi Juan asked Li Tie who was driving in front of her.

Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "Accidents have happened everywhere in the past two years, and Yu Shixun's eldest son can be tied up. I go to Hong Kong Island from time to time, and I have no reliable people to save my life, so I can't sleep at night. I want to arrange two daughters for you. Anbao, don't be in a hurry to object... Usually you won't follow you closely, just around. There are many accidents with Chinese Americans, including overseas students. Not to mention your status as the heir of Tianhong Heavy Industry, you will have to take it with you sooner or later. Go to the security personnel. For things like security, don’t be afraid of [-], just in case.”

Qi Juan had a big head and said, "I'll think about it, I'll think about it again."

She has been used to being free since she was a child. Qi Ping and Li Suzhi are not as oppressive as traditional education, and they are even less able to accept being around people all the time.

But she also understood that what Zhang Qing said was the truth, and she didn't want to decline Zhang Qing's kindness, so she had to think again.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Qing and Qi Juan arrived at Qi's house.

Li Tie didn't want to bother him, and Zhang Qing didn't force him either.

Opening the door and seeing Qi Juan standing there smiling, Qi Ping was very happy, but Li Suzhi was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you dressed like this?"

The image of a delicate woman obviously doesn't fit Qi Juan's education.

Qi Juan was honest, pointed at Zhang Qing and said, "I wore it for him to see."

Li Suzhi twitched the corners of her mouth, said no more, and urged: "You two, wash your hands quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

Qi Juan not only had to wash her hands, but also went to the bathroom.

After Zhang Qing washed his hands and came out, Qi Ping at the dining table motioned him to sit down. After Zhang Qing took his seat, Qi Ping said with a smile: "Your "Album" is more popular than "Woman Flower". Yes, it is suitable for men, women and children."

Li Suzhi sat down after finishing the last dish of eight-treasure duck, and said with a smile: "Even the eldest sister of our unit has been humming "Only Mom is Good in the World" these days. I don't know where I know about our relationship. You actually asked me to ask you how many autographed pictorials you want."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "It's easy."

Li Suzhi said: "There is one thing to remind you, don't use Yanyan's life experience to hype her up, it is very bad for her. Even a strong girl will miss her mother in her heart."

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Of course not. In fact, if Yanyan hadn't requested to write two songs about missing her mother, I wouldn't have the heart to let her sing them. When recording, she almost passed out from crying when she sang emotionally. I have hesitated whether to take these two songs, but Yanyan firmly refused, saying that this is the best gift she reported to her mother."

Li Suzhi and Qi Ping both sighed, Qi Juan washed her hands and came out, looked at the faces of the three, and said with a smile: "What kind of deep topic are you talking about behind my back? Don't you want to marry me casually? I am a modern An excellent independent woman...but after all, it is the order of my parents, so I can't be unfilial, I can only obey."

Qi Ping stared: "It's beautiful!!"

Qi Juan laughed, and Zhang Qing felt that she changed the subject and explained: "It's about Yanyan's album."

Qi Juan didn't care much at the moment, but questioned Li Suzhi: "Didn't you say that Aunt Gu is coming? Coax us?"

Li Suzhi said calmly: "There are temporary foreign affairs, so she will change it and come here at night."

Qi Juan turned her face and shouted: "That can't be done! I have to go to see the roses tonight!"

Li Suzhi sneered, and didn't even bother to answer.

Qi Ping hehe said: "You like roses so much, let Zhang Qing dig them up and keep them at home."

After the joint suppression, Qi Ping continued to talk about the album: "Recently, several insiders sat in the bar and said that your Dujuan record is unreasonable and too fierce. Either you don't release the film, and once it is released, it will be swept away. Others will click on it." There is no way to survive. There are also those who envy your surroundings, selling like crazy. There are several small record company bosses who used to be singers. They have some friendship and asked if they can follow your surroundings. "

Zhang Qingdao: "Of course it's okay to have good works, but to be honest, I don't recommend it. For us, because we have confidence in the works, the investment cost is relatively high, and the peripherals we make are relatively sophisticated. The more we sell, the more we earn. But ordinary works... may not be able to recoup the cost, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Qi Juan had a better understanding of the economy, and said with a smile, "Why don't you help them with distribution, isn't it more profitable to collect distribution fees?"

Zhang Qing said: "It's not in a hurry. The company is still in the initial stage, far from mature, and is not in a hurry to expand its business. Moreover, pirates have always been a serious problem. Many local toy factories have not obtained authorization at all, and they have begun to imitate ours. Toys, we have nothing to do, the domestic market is far from mature." The Copyright Law is still worthless.

Qi Ping frowned and said, "Then what should we do? In the future, as soon as your products come out, they will copy them and sell them cheaper. Even if the quality is poor, they will definitely be better than yours. Let bad money drive out good money?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "For at least [-] years, the long-term sales of the peripherals will still depend on overseas. We have registered copyrights in Hong Kong Island, blocking their way to export. And the officials went to Director Wang of Jiangjing City for this, Let's give them a way to survive, don't force them to death and call us too selfish."

Li Suzhi asked: "Then how do you respond?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "Of course I don't care about it. These people are used to eating ready-made ones. This year's financial bad debts have reached an astonishing level, and most of them are used to support them. That is a bottomless pit. I can't be the savior. I can't completely nirvana. Back, can not be reborn."

Li Suzhi smiled and didn't ask further about this aspect, she said: "This album is so successful, it will be of great help to Yanyan, right?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Yes. But I feel that Uncle Ruolin complained to me over there. If I had known that Yanyan would release such an album, I would not have asked her to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. Little Dragon Girl would be as cold as ice and snow, unparalleled in beauty. But Yanyan Yan's album gives people a cheerful and bright feeling, and it is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will definitely make the audience play."

Qi Ping said: "You will get used to it after watching a few more episodes. Zhang Qing, I heard many people say that you don't even go to the music critic awards ceremony? This time when the new album is released, so many music critics are criticizing you. The meaning inside and out is that you don't know how to be a human being. How come you don't show your face when people are rushing to present you awards?"

Zhang Qing scratched his head and said, "I really don't know what to say, it's embarrassing."

Qi Ping wanted to persuade him again, but Li Suzhi said calmly: "Forget it. Zhang Qing said earlier that works can enter this circle, but people can't. He doesn't want to deal with those people, and he doesn't have to force it. Overseas revenue, Should it be bigger than domestic ones?”

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "It's far greater. The sales volume of CDs and music VCDs is almost ten times that of mainland China, and the gap will become bigger and bigger in the future."

Qi Juan looked left and right, and after a long while reminded her parents: "Dare to ask the elders, who is the protagonist today?"

I've traveled thousands of miles to return to my country, so it's over if I show my face? !
