the longest dream

Chapter 53 Leaked
After chatting for half the night, Gu Zhengxiong and Xu Zhen didn't even mention a single invitation to sing, they just talked about some insiders who Zhang Qing was interested in.

Plagiarized, plagiarized, litigated, gangster-related fights, peachy, masculine, drug-related, forced to sell...

In short, it seems that all the evils in the world are not absent in that circle.

"I thought this circle was good for making money, but how can there be such a good thing?"

Qi Ping shook his head.

Gu Zhengxiong said: "They can't see at all that the vast majority of singers, even those who have released albums, live a tight life. Zhao Kaihong just bought a house in Hong Kong City three years ago, how dare you Faith? Only those at the top of the pyramid earn a lot of money. There are also some who are not well-known but sell well, which is okay. But [-]% of the singers, their lives are not as good as those who go to work. "

Qi Ping laughed at himself: "I just didn't make any money back then."

Xu Zhen shook her head and said: "In those years, the relevant departments did not allow rock and roll to show up at all. Wang Chan and his gang almost knelt down to them in order to go on stage, saying that we don't need money, just go on stage and sing. Lao Qi sat on the train with us Hard seats, sometimes it’s hard to get the travel expenses together, just like this, I still perform everywhere in the world. For what? It’s the love in my heart. Now, the business class of the dogs is too bad..."

Qi Ping said with a smile: "The times are different, let's look at it more openly, and our suffering is not suitable for young people today."

Gu Zhengxiong said: "Yes, what Lao Qi said is right. The times have changed, and it is only right and proper to rely on this to make money. So Lao Qi, when you said that Xiao Zhang's lyrics and music should all be divided, I immediately made a decision, yes! Why not Can? Those who are capable should eat meat! Mistress Xu was also worried that the people below would be jealous and gossip, so I asked him to tell those people, who can write a song like "The Big Sky", I will give him the share In front of you, offer it with both hands! The more people like this, the better!"

Qi Ping said with a smile: "Mr. Gu is still arrogant, but Zhang Qing probably really doesn't have time right now."

Gu Zhengxiong smiled and said: "I know! This is your excuse, but I also accept the excuse. And Xiao Zhang is different from others, I believe he is really not short of money. "Shooting the Condor" is now in the circle It has already exploded. This book is estimated to bring tens of millions of remuneration to Xiao Zhang. This is still the first year, and there may be more in the future. But you have earned it by your ability, and you should give it. We can't be stingy either. For the next song, the lyrics and music will count as seven points."

Xu Zhen stroked her long hair and said, "It took me twenty years to get to this point."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I really want to get it, but unfortunately I still have to take the college entrance examination. Our family is relatively backward, and my parents still believe that everything is inferior and only studies are high. If they can't get into a good university and study hard, they will be sad and angry. So Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry."

Gu Zhengxiong said with a smile: "Don't rush, don't rush for this moment. The college entrance examination is about to take place right now. If you talk about breaking the sky, you must focus on this in everything. Don't say you can earn a million by writing a book, even if you earn a thousand Wan... the son of the world's richest man is not rich, right? The son of the world's richest man also has to take the college entrance examination, so it's not a matter of money. Although we are not highly educated, we respect cultural people. I also believe that when you go to college , will write better songs!"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your understanding. I can't drink, so I will replace wine with tea. I would like to toast you, Uncle Qi, and Director Xu. I am really touched by your care for the younger generation."

Qi Ping smiled and said: "Relax, we are all on our own. I can't take care of anything, the main ones are President Gu and Niang Niang...don't think about these things now, study hard."

Xu Zhen said: "It's just...less than three months, right? Juanzi?"

Qi Juan smiled and said: "Yes. But people earn ten times more from writing books than from writing songs. Why bother? You don't write any more, but you still fool me into writing at the same table? The name of a martial arts master is comparable to that of a songwriter. Is your name more resounding?"

Xu Zhen clutched her heart and wailed, "Juanzi, you can't turn your elbow so early!"

Everyone laughed, Qi Ping looked indifferent, and Zhou Yanyan behind the bar looked at Zhang Qing while smiling.

Zhang Qing didn't say anything, but Gu Zhengxiong said seriously: "Juanzi, I believe that the person who can write "The Big Sky", "Looking at the Hometown" and "Brightness" must be a person who loves music. To make money, do more in other businesses. To put it simply, making pirated audio tapes is simply a business without capital. Especially like us, there are already channels to distribute goods. It is not easy to do it, but we do not do it Not for anything else, just for the persistence in my heart."

Qi Ping nodded and said: "Gu always has feelings, and Zhang Qing is relatively indifferent to money. Okay, it's getting late, Zhang Qing, is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Gu and Director Xu for your attention. I am very moved and grateful to come from Shanghai all the way. Therefore, I must be honest. I have a love for music. I always thought that politics, It is used to rule the mind, and music is to nourish the mind. So I prefer to get close to music and literature, and stay away from politics. But, to be honest, it is difficult for me to be a full-time songwriter, and I don’t want to write propositional works. I yearn for freedom in the world of thought. This kind of willfulness makes me farther away from full-time songwriters. If I have works in the future and the opportunity is right, I will give priority to cooperation with Tengfei. This is the only thing I can do. thanks."

Xu Zhen smirked and said, "Zhang Qing's speech is still very decent, is he influenced by your Aunt Li?"

Qi Juan was unhappy, and said: "Miss Xu, you can't come to our house to pick trouble just because your daughter has found a foreign boyfriend."

"Hahaha!"

Gu Zhengxiong and Qi Ping laughed out loud, and Xu Niangniang was rolling with laughter, her tears were about to come out, and she said, "Juanzi, it's fine if you put a knife in my heart, why do you also put a knife in your father's heart?"

But then he said sternly: "Zhang Qing, I want to ask you something. I heard from your Uncle Qi that that girl plans to enter the music industry in the future?"

Zhang Qing glanced at Zhou Yanyan who was not far away with her ears pricked up, and said with a smile: "It's too early to say these things, let's see if she can learn anything here. Sending her in hastily is harmful and useless. Although she is also an adult, but After all, I brought it out, so I can't harm her for the rest of her life."

"At your age, it's not easy to know the word responsibility."

Gu Zhengxiong sighed again.

Qi Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Children from poor families have long known that the world is difficult."

Gu Zhengxiong dismissively said: "Old Qi, not all children from poor families are like this. Most of the children from poor families I have seen were poor when they were young, but they didn't know how to make progress. Only then did I realize the importance of learning knowledge. What's the use of reminiscing about the past, regretting it, and showing a little self-pity?

I am very puzzled, why did we all know that learning knowledge is to constantly strengthen ourselves, but they always wait until they are middle-aged and unable to recover?There is no one in a poor family with amazing talents like Xiao Zhang. "

Zhang Qing sighed: "It can't be blamed that people like us didn't know it when they were young, because most of the time, there is really no hope. Life used to be poor, and hunger and shabby made the sky of life dark."

"Then how did you survive?"

Xu Zhen asked with a smile.

Zhang Qing lowered his eyes and said, "Luck is the most important thing. In addition, my parents told me since I was a child that studying is my only way out and way out."

Looking back on the past now, it feels like a dream.

"do not talk."

Qi Juan smiled suddenly, her big bright eyes blinked a little too frequently.

Xu Zhen looked at her and then at Qi Ping, almost dying of laughter.

But Zhang Qing confessed, walked to the bar, looked at Zhou Yanyan and asked, "Are you used to it here?"

Zhou Yanyan pursed her lips, nodded and said, "It's better than being at home."

Zhang Qing said: "Live with Sister Fen?"

Zhao Fen smiled from the side: "Yanyan is very good, she has a strong temper and is capable, but she is too economical, and she is very polite."

After Zhang Qing thanked, he said to Zhou Yanyan: "People need to be self-reliant, and I am right not to be poor, but I don't have to go into a dead end. If others are willing to help us, we don't have to refuse, but we must be grateful. In the future, we will pay it back with gold. Even I owe it." There are many others. But don’t be afraid to owe others, as long as you work hard, you will always be able to pay back in the future, and you can pay back double.”

At this time, Qi Juan and Liu Shanshan came over. After hearing this sentence, Liu Shanshan turned into an onmyoji and said, "Hey, give us back, who will be with you? Yanyan and us are us!"

Zhou Yanyan giggled, Zhang Qing said: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Qi Juan was surprised and regretted, "Did we come here by accident?"

Zhang Qing smiled helplessly and said, "I invite you to eat hot pot on weekends and go to Tianyuan."

Tianyuan is the most upscale star-rated hotel among the civilian class in Jiangjing City, and it is also the place that the rich children of Jiangjing City No. [-] Middle School often talk about going to, of course, most of them go there with their parents.

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Get rich?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "After a year, the sales of "Shooting the Condors" officially exceeded one million copies."

Qi Juan was slightly surprised when she heard this, she glanced at Zhou Yanyan, and said with a smile, "Why are you suddenly so high-profile?"

Zhang Qing sighed helplessly: "Teacher Yang asked me to go to the office during recess in the afternoon, and told me that Zhao Qiang called her and asked her to tell me that my information was leaked to the media by someone. It's going to be hot soon."
