the longest dream

Chapter 95 The New Home (First Order)

The climate in the capital city is much drier than that in Jiangjing city.

Even though the weather in mid-June is equally hot, at least it's not so stuffy or humid.

You won't get sticky just sitting there.

In the capital city, it is cool in a shady place, unlike in Jiangjing city, where you are in a steamer, and it is sultry day and night.

By the stone table under the vine trellis in the backyard, a mosquito lamp has been lit before it gets dark.

Flower Butterfly looked at the fish swimming happily in the pool next to the rockery not far away. There were only three or five green lotuses, and two emerald green frogs were taking a nap on the lotus leaves.

It is because of the fish and frogs that there is no mosquito trap in the backyard.

"Hu Quan really enjoys it."

Hua Die sighed and laughed, and secretly sighed in her heart, as a singer, Hu Quan can manage such a property, but she doesn't even have a place to stay.

She is in her early thirties, not only failed to be a good wife, mother, and even her daughter, but also made her elderly parents take care of her two children...

On the other side, Zhang Qing and Zhao Qiang were discussing many matters of the company.

"The recording studio must be built, and it is best to be able to put it in place at one time."

Zhang Qing took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Qiang and said.

Zhao Qiang smiled wryly and said: "It's not that easy. As soon as the signboard is hung, there will be various expenses. It's okay now, just pay the rent, two front desks, two clerks, and four issuers. These people's wages are not high, but Once the recording studio is built, the decoration alone is a huge sum. Zhang Qing, don't underestimate these expenses. Even if you have a base salary, if you spread too much, you will have to worry about nothing. I just want to discuss something with you. What do you think we repaired the recording studio to the No. [-] courtyard next door?"

"Fix the house?"

Zhang Qing was startled when he heard this.

Zhao Qiang said: "You don't live in the No. [-] courtyard for the time being, so you can save a lot of money by repairing your home. Moreover, if you rent someone else's building, in case something happens, you will have to pay for the decoration. You know that installing a silent recording studio requires a lot of money. How much? The money saved is enough for you to go to Shanghai to buy a bungalow!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he was only thinking about the courtyards in Pingjing, but he forgot about the old houses in Shanghai: "Sister Zhao, what you said makes sense."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Qiang laughed, her boss is actually interested in these antiques.

The comfort of the old bungalows in Shanghai is similar to the courtyard houses in Pingjing, and there are not many people who like them right now.

At Zhang Qing's age, he prefers old houses, so he has to say something different.

Just as he was talking, he saw Zhang Lan walking staggeringly carrying a bucket.

Zhang Qing rushed to take over, and saw that there was half a bucket of water in the bucket, and there was actually a big watermelon in the water.

Zhang Qing was pleasantly surprised: "Watermelon? Where did you get it?"

Zhang Lan said happily: "I bought it from the alley!"

"..."

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "You're progressing too fast, right? I didn't even know where there was a watermelon shop, so you just touched it... You just came here for a day, and you went all the way to the entrance of the alley?"

Zhang Lan is reasonable: "Of course! There is no rice or vegetables at home, so I can't cook?"

Zhao Qiang laughed and said, "Qingzi, your sister is good, she has a good personality, she is straightforward and not shy."

Generally, people from poor families are naturally shy.

People like Zhang Lan are indeed rare.

Zhang Lan was really flustered, and said happily: "I'll buy some steel bars in two days, weld a grill, and I'll give you kebabs to eat!"

Huadie laughed loudly, and Zhang Qing said with a black line on his forehead: "See if you can do it, you can also weld?"

Zhang Lan said, "When I first came here, I just saw a window maker in the north. He has electric welding. Give him three yuan, and he will be sure to do it. It doesn't cost much welding rods. When I was at home , Xiong Lili took me to see her electric welding shop."

Zhao Qiang frightened her: "There are many bad people in big cities, you are such a beautiful girl, the traffickers will catch you and run away, how dare you run around?"

Zhang Lan was still shocked, but she knew how to look at people's faces. Seeing her brother and Hua Die laughing, she knew it was a joke. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Everywhere is still cracking down on crime, and the bad guys have all escaped." , or hide it, I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Qiang gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, great. More social than your brother!"

Zhang Lan laughed and ran away, went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife to kill melons.

Butterfly raised her head slightly, and through the lush vines, looked at the sun that had been slanting to the west, and the spots fell on her face, feeling indescribably comfortable.

How long has it been since you basked in the sun so leisurely?

"Sister Zhao, Sister Hua is an old man in the music industry. She has recorded many songs and released records. At least she is more familiar with the various processes than we are. I think that when the company was first established, she would also come to take up a position in the company. You guys The two cooperate to take care of the company's affairs."

When the knife arrived, Zhang Qing killed the watermelon and everyone shared it. After eating, he looked at Zhao Qiang and said.

Zhao Qiang squinted at him and said, "Then what are you doing?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I am in charge of writing songs. The first album we released to Sister Hua must be a hit! An album has twelve songs, and I strive to make every song the title song. After it became a hit, Not only is Sister Hua different from now on, but Sister Zhao, you will not be so tired running the company anymore."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "However, you are right."

Zhang Lan suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are you tired of recording songs?"

Seeing the three of them watching together, Zhang Lan hurriedly explained: "It's not me, it's Yanyan. She heard sister Qi Juan say that recording is very tiring, more tiring than farming, she doesn't really believe it."

Zhang Qing said: "We can only ask Sister Hua about this matter."

Hua Die said: "That depends on the level of the producer."

Zhao Qiang said: "We have limited funds, so Qingzi must be the producer of the first album. Lyrics, music, arrangement, and production, he is responsible for it all. Costumes, photography, etc., I will come first...I will be with Sister Hua. "

Huadie looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "You may not know that young people are in perfect pitch. He is the producer, and an album of twelve songs, I guess I have to sing them thousands of times to finish the recording. It’s not very likely within a month. If a teenager has a bad temper, it’s possible to get angry and swear. As far as I know, not to mention mainland China, even Bay Bay and Hong Kong Island, those famous gold medal producers basically have The nickname of the devil is very strict. To record a song, there are hundreds of notes, and it is impossible to sing every one of them accurately, and you have to record repeatedly. The most difficult thing is the emotion... She will know this when she records the song herself .”

Zhang Lan couldn't figure it out: "We don't understand what's wrong. It doesn't matter if we're wrong, right?"

Zhao Qiang still understood, and said: "Most people don't understand, but music critics definitely understand, and insiders understand. There is a numbered musical notation on the cover of the cassette, and people read it while listening to it, and they hear a wrong sound. , is a great event.”

Hua Die said: "The main thing is that the more than [-] radio stations will post the recorded songs to the market, and send some tea money..."

Zhang Lan said "ah" and said, "Do you want to give them money?"

Hua Die smiled and said: "Otherwise, who will help you promote it? Nowadays, most ordinary people get in touch with new songs from the radio broadcasts. The major music companies try to deal with them as much as possible. Ordinary companies do not dare to recruit so many singers , I can’t afford to support the radio station alone.”

Zhang Qing asked Zhao Qiang, "How about our release?"

Zhao Qiang said with a smile: "These things sound mysterious, but when we actually do it, it's just like that. It's nothing more than eating, drinking, making phone calls and running errands. The four publishers are all over thirty-five years old, so they know how to do it." This business. But other big companies, how can there be no such people? Knowing that we will release new songs after taking over, they are very happy."

Zhang Qing said: "It's better to leave this matter to Sister Hua, there are a lot of tricks in it, Sister Hua should know better."

Hua Die nodded and smiled: "Cheating and concealing, secretly deducting, reporting more and giving less, even being bought by a rival company, disturbing Huang Xuanfa has happened."

After hearing this, Zhao Qiang frowned and said, "If this is the case, we must still recruit new people and train them ourselves."

But Hua Die shook her head and said: "Newcomers may not be more reliable than old people. Let's see how the old people are. If you have a lot of pressure on the family, you will be more at ease. Newcomers have never seen the world and are easy to be bribed. Of course, recruiting newcomers If it is necessary, four people will definitely be too busy."

Zhao Qiang nodded and said, "That's fine, Sister Hua will take care of it. I heard Qingzi said about your situation. There are two children in the family. I'm afraid it's not enough for commercial performances. Then sit in Zhenping Headquarters in Beijing, manage the company. When the album comes out and you buy a house, the elderly and children can come to the capital without any delay.”

When Hua Die heard this, her lips trembled, and she smiled again: "I made you laugh, I don't even dare to think, I can also buy a house in Pingjing?"

Zhao Qiang said unconvinced: "What dare not think about it? Look at the songs written by Qingzi, which one did not lead to big sales? Although we are a new company, we must have absolute confidence in Qingzi! Right now it is just a record , When we have the strength, we can enter the film and television industry! Sister Hua, you have lived a hard life, and that is because you have never had the opportunity to soar into the sky. Now that you have such an opportunity, you must seize it. What is it? Lucky? If you meet the right person, you must be lucky!"

Huadie's face was moved, she pursed her lips tightly, and asked, "Is there any wine?"

After speaking, he immediately explained to Zhang Qing: "Drink it for the last time, and I won't drink it again, and the same goes for cigarettes."

Naturally, Zhang Qing would not be harsh, and said with a smile, "You can handle it yourself."

Zhao Qiang took the money from the bag, handed Zhang Lan two fifty-fifty bills, and said, "Xiao Lan, go and buy two bottles of Erguotou for my sister, and four bottles of Red Star beer. The rest will be used as errand money for you."

Hua Die was a little embarrassed, and she also started to search her pockets, but she was really shy...

Zhang Lan said with a big smile, "I don't want it, I have money. Our family is moving today, so I'll treat you!"

After all, he turned around and went out.

When I was in Jiangjing City, I rented a house and didn't have that sense of belonging.

But now it is different, now Zhang Qing bought the house, it is the house of the family, it is home.
