Chapter 178 It’s a pity that you’re not a singer
As soon as I got my business license, the first singer I signed was asked to perform at the Spring Festival Gala by Sun Tao.
This news is indeed a bit explosive. Sun Tao wanted to keep a low profile, but Li Qinglei didn't. While everyone was resting, she had already serialized the story of being taken away by Buckingham's business car as soon as she signed the contract into a novel through text messages.
[…I saw the car at that time, and heard Huang Mao and Sun Tao say that Boss Luo asked him to come. I thought at that time, it’s over, they didn’t ask me to sit on the stage just after signing the contract, so I asked Can my agent ask Xiaoxue, Jingjing and Zhang Fei to go with me... Actually, it’s useless for them to go, so I thought about giving me courage, but my agent, Sister Qin, said that the seven-seater car can’t fit in it. So many people】
[Sister Qin also told me that the work might last until midnight today, or even stay up all night, and there would be no place to arrange it... Oh my god, I am a little girl, and as soon as I signed the contract, I would be held up until midnight or even all night long. At that time, I always envied Wang Can. Why was he so decisive? He immediately stopped signing the contract when things went wrong...】
[When I got in the car, my manager, Sister Qin, told me that there was a solo singer in the Jishi Spring Festival Gala for me to try out. I didn’t believe it at all! If I want to believe it, then I can’t do anything wrong. I am a young girl who graduated from an art school and I have no background. As soon as I signed the agreement, she arranged for me to perform as a soloist in the Spring Festival Gala. Although she said it was a selection, I still didn’t believe it. It’s not such a nonsense! ! ! 】
[Although I don’t believe it, I didn’t do anything. I’ve signed the agreement. It’s only a matter of time before I enter the entertainment industry and let people do it. It doesn’t make any difference whether I’m alone or in a group. I just bite my teeth and close my eyes and endure it and it’s over... ...Sigh, I'm afraid they are still playing tricks... It's not like I haven't read Dongre and Yiben. 】
[...Then I was a little confused when I got off the bus. Isn’t this the Workers’ Cultural Palace? I was participating in a talent show here! At this point...oh my god, I felt like what my agent said was true. Then I saw Teacher Zhang Hongxia, the honorary principal of our art school, Teacher Liu Yang, and Liao Tao...and... There are many dancers]
[Those people are here to compete for the quota of backup dancers. They are to dance with me. You know, now they have to compete to dance with me! Originally there was a competition to see who would sing solo, but in fact I was the only candidate to be the solo singer! Hahahahahahahaha... It turns out that our boss was planning to let me compete with Wang Can, but Wang Can temporarily backed down, hahaha...]
【……】
[Sisters, when you see this text message from me, I am resting at the home of Teacher Li Xiaojun, the general manager of Qingzhou Culture. Teacher Li is sleeping in the room next to me... I rehearsed all night yesterday, but I can't sleep at all now... …I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep and wake up to find it was a dream. So I just stayed up and couldn’t sleep...】
……
Li Qinglei sent the message to the sisters with whom she had the best relationship in the morning, and it was constantly reposted. A young girl who skipped classes and surfed the Internet forwarded Li Qinglei's text message to the QQ group word by word, and then the message started from Zhang. The principal's art school spread to the entire Wu'an literary and art world.
Zhang Guoqing called many people for verification. Of course, he also called Sun Tao, but Sun Tao didn't answer.
Now Sun Tao is calling him back.
"Principal Zhang, did you call me this morning? What's wrong?"
"Ah ah, yes, yes, that Brother Sun, is it true that Qinglei went to Jishi Spring Festival Gala to sing a solo? It's really a blessing that she signed a contract with your company!... She sent the news to After classmates, this morning, despite the fact that there are more than 200 people in our school, now the students are almost exploding... Every one of them seems to have been injected with chicken blood...
Hahaha, let’s not talk anymore, you can get busy, I’m at the advertising company, I want to order a publicity display board to promote Qinglei’s participation in the Spring Festival Gala...”
Sun Tao raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qinglei, who was staring at him. Li Qinglei noticed that Sun Tao was looking at her and hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up.
Sun Tao sighed inwardly. Opening champagne at halftime was a taboo!
"Principal Zhang, Principal Zhang, don't be too busy promoting it now. Jishi's editor Han Cai asked me to find someone to arrange a program. She was quite satisfied with the songs I recommended, but after all, people haven't seen the effect of the program, and she is just a party person. As the assistant director, who knows if there will be any changes? Besides, it’s not impossible for CCTV to temporarily cancel the show because someone’s performance went overtime.
Let’s not make too much noise yet. It’s not too late to celebrate after the performance is over and everything has settled. I won’t object to your entire Yangko team touring the entire county. ”
By the time Sun Tao finished calling back all the calls with names, it was already half past three.
Sun Tao would naturally not call back without a note.
The living room of 302 was as busy as a telecommunications business hall. Sun Tao was not the only one taking calls. Li Xiaojun and Qin Boya's mobile phones were also ringing non-stop.
Li Qinglei's cell phone also kept vibrating, but she didn't dare to answer it because Sun Tao was staring at her.
Sun Tao walked up to her, breathed on his middle finger and then made a strong gesture towards Li Qinglei's forehead.
Li Qinglei screamed in fright and hugged her head, but Sun Tao just gestured and didn't play it down.
"Silly girl, don't be so high-profile in the future. Not everyone expects you to be well. As for today's matter, you should wait until Han Haiyu, the editor, comes to see it, nod, and tell others if you can't hide it anymore.
< br>
Let me ask you, if someone who is very close to me suddenly pops up and can sing better than you, what will you do? Will you be dumbfounded by then? Be more discerning in the future and don't be too blind! ”
The two were very close. Li Qinglei stared blankly at Sun Tao who suddenly blinked and asked with a smile, "Is there really such a person?"
Sun Tao had already turned and walked away, "Well, it's true, there are more than one."
Sun Tao did not lie, but Li Yiran went to perform with the Longteng Song and Dance Troupe and was not in Wu'an; Wu Xiaoying was busy with the final exam at school and was not well informed.
Li Qinglei bit her lip bitterly, "Well, I understand, I won't tell anyone from now on."
——
Sun Tao went to the rehearsal of "Divination" again, just once and then ignored it.
Professional matters were left to professionals, and a total of nine backup dancers were finalized. Du Juan was among them, and Xu Yunyun was among them. Sun Tao didn't pay attention to anyone else.
Seven days later, Han Haiyu came again with his people and praised the entire program "Divination". After this incident, Sun Tao was already a god-like existence in the Wu'an literary and art circle, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Sun Tao gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
……
Sun Tao is busy writing novels, recording songs, and working on his Haitang website.
At four o'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, December 31, 2002, Sun Tao arrived at Wu'an Long-distance Passenger Transport Station.
Sun Tao didn't ride many long-distance buses, and he didn't know what other places were like. Anyway, the long-distance bus station in Wu'an has a waiting hall with seats, hot water, toilets, and ticket gates, which is similar to the train station. But no one will care when you exit the station. Just get off the bus and come out of the parking lot.
Sun Tao, wearing a down jacket and cotton leather shoes, stood at the exit waiting for the bus.
On a snowy day, there were not many people near the passenger terminal. Apart from those selling goods with pushcarts, there were also people who came out to ride the bus. However, you could still faintly hear in the wind: We are different, we are different, we are different...
Sun Tao muttered, "Fuck, you're going to lose money if you expect to make money from selling CDs!"
Haitang.com currently has only 2,366 registered users, with an average of more than 600 visits per day. However, there are not many people listening to music online, and the ripped tapes are playing all over the street!
Sun Tao kept bumping his feet in the snow, thinking to himself, "You shouldn't listen to Wang Yu, you should use rogue means to change the home page of your computer. Everyone who listens to pirated songs is not unjust... Fuck, I used to be like this I always listened to pirated songs... But, I was poor at that time... Oh, who the hell is not poor! Damn it, this is Boomerang!"
Just as Sun Tao was muttering, a girl came out of the station dragging a trolley suitcase. She looked at Sun Tao intently for a while, and after confirming that it was him, the girl dropped the trolley suitcase and ran over.
Sun Tao pulled the octopus-like Wu Xiaoying off his body, "Didn't I say that the official holiday is only on January 7th?"
Wu Xiaoying, whose face was red, still hugged Sun Tao tightly, "It's just one Mao Gai test, and the other classes have been finished long ago, hahaha. As a result, our Mao Gai teacher had something to do and changed the exam into a big homework..."
< br>
On a snowy day, it was too difficult to take a taxi, so the two of them could only find a rickshaw, which was a three-wheeled one with a shed, but the Wu'an people still called for riding a donkey backwards.
The rider was an old man, at least fifty or sixty, possibly seventy. He was wearing a torn cotton-padded jacket, his body was hunched over, and his hair was all gray.
Sun Tao doesn't like riding a donkey upside down, just like he doesn't like riding on a sliding pole when climbing mountains. Of course, he doesn't object to others riding on it. After all, the pedaling master and the sliding pole lifting master point to this job to support their families. Anyway, he is allowed to A young man was sitting in the car watching the old man pedaling hard. He felt uneasy.
As a result, Wu Xiaoying was alone in the car the whole time, and Sun Tao jumped up and down like a horse and monkey. If he encountered a snow bump or an uphill slope, Sun Tao would jump off and push the cart.
When settling the accounts, the old man offered to give them a discount, but Sun Tao refused and still gave them the agreed price.
……
Jianguo Community, Building 8, Unit 2, 302.
Wu Xiaoying happily entered the house, took off her down jacket and put on slippers, only to find that the second bedroom had been tidied up, and the hard bed was covered with thick mattresses...
With a slumped face, she mumbled and put the trolley suitcase in the second bedroom, then turned to look at Sun Tao, "I'm on vacation, how are you going to arrange for me?"
A pure female college student with a ponytail, a turtleneck, and jeans. Thinking of how shy she looked, Sun Tao moved his index finger. Unfortunately, the girl now looked unhappy.
Sun Tao laughed, "From now on, you will be my assistant. Help me organize the documents and manage the website. All my chores will be handled by you... Oh, don't be unhappy, I am the boss of the company now. In addition to my company, there are two female managers, three female singers, and two male singers. They often come to my place. It would be unreasonable if there were no quilts in the second bedroom.”
"I've already lived in your house. It's so interesting for you to do this. Who can you deceive?"
"Hahaha, at least I can save my face. Speaking of which, the company's funds are tight, so we should follow the authority when it comes to matters... Hey, hey, wait, don't be so hasty, I was quite cold when I first entered the house..."
< br>
A farewell is better than a wedding, Wu Xiaoying is impatient.
After playing poker, it was already past dinner time. Wu Xiaoying rested her head on Sun Tao's chest, "I have also registered on Haitang.com."
"Alas!"
"Why are you sighing?"
Sun Tao smiled bitterly and said, "You have also registered, which means there is one less real user. The number of registered users on my website is 2366, of which more than 100 accounts were created by myself, plus the accounts of singers... Every time I meet an acquaintance, if he says that he is also registered, I feel so uncomfortable!”
"Hahaha... Oh, to be honest, it's a pity that you are not a singer. Did you hear that the tapes copied on the street are all the versions you sang?"
