Chapter 4 Teenagers don't know the taste of money

Qiuqiu Music is the largest music platform on the Internet, although under the banner that everyone can make music and send music, but on it, you can really get recommended exposure resources, and the songs that can become popular are all star works of large companies without exception.

When Qiuqiu Music was first launched, it also held some new singer competitions, online song click competitions and so on.

It is true that a few music ghosts on the Internet have been excavated, but these people have been signed by major brokerage companies later, and there is almost no news after signing them, it seems that they have been hidden in the snow, and no spiritual works have been seen.

Since then, although many people still freely register accounts every year and publish their own music works on Qiuqiu Music.

But under the squeeze of the regular army of major record companies and star songs, these motley armies have no room for survival.

Just like the current new song list, the top three will always be the title songs of the new album just released by the king and queen.

If there is no time for the king and queen to release new songs, it will inevitably be a battlefield for several first-line stars to fight each other.

The later rankings are basically arranged according to the fame of first, second and third-tier stars, and a few newcomers who are highly praised by some companies can rush to the top ten by smashing resources for the coffee positions of third- and fourth-tier stars who have just debuted.

......

New songs released by true independent musicians are often only at the end of eighty or ninety cranes at most, and they can hardly bring up the heat at all.

Moreover, this is a good situation, many record companies will also dig up newcomers in this ranking area to contact and sign, of course, it is the kind of contract that is very pitiful.

Like "Happy Birthday" released by Xu Yan, without any promotion and exposure, it is almost impossible to be discovered and heard by listeners who use Qiuqiu music.

The only way, I'm afraid, is to search for the name of the song or the name of the singer in the search box to find his song.

Therefore, Xu Yan's judgment at the beginning was indeed correct, such a "bad song" has no resources and exposure to promote.

Even if Niuniu plays extraordinarily and sings the quality of [Excellent], it is absolutely impossible to become popular.

"Hey, hey, don't say it's on fire...... Whether 100 people have heard of it or not, I'm afraid it's all a question. ”

After checking this data, Xu Yan can actually judge by the 33.3% singing rate that there are probably no more than ten listeners who have really listened to this song.

After all, for now, Xu Yan feels ...... Only himself and Niu Niu can sing this song.

"Whew! There are still more than three days to go, once the mission fails. The system will probably admit it and transform itself into a food system or something......"

Xu Yanmei turned off the computer, and in the past few days in the hotel room, he was also a little crazy.

Moreover, when Xu Yan ran away from home, he had to be self-reliant in order to show his backbone. He even left all his credit cards and bank cards at home.

After staying in the hotel for a few days, he found that he only had a few hundred yuan left in his pocket, which was not even enough for today's 998 room rate.

So, Xu Yan decided to leave the room and planned to "defect" to his classmate Zhang Ziliang.

This Zhang Ziliang is the poor student who taught Xu Yan to make "egg fried rice", Xu Yan heard him say that their family set up a stall under the overpass to sell egg fried rice.

But......

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

In Xu Yan's opinion, isn't it simple to find someone in the capital?

Just call him!

Can......

The bad thing about this is that now mobile phones are not popularized by the whole people, similar to about 05 years on the earth, and it is still a "luxury".

Zhang Ziliang's family is not wealthy, and he usually uses a phone card to make calls, so he doesn't have a mobile phone.

In addition, Xu Yan didn't think that he would have anything to do before, and he had to go to Zhang Ziliang's house to find him, so he didn't ask his landline phone number.

What's even more helpless is ......

Xu Yan only occasionally chatted with Zhang Ziliang and knew which flyover his family was selling egg fried rice under the overpass...... He didn't ask any questions.

As a result, Xu Yan almost took a taxi and looked for vendors selling egg fried rice on the overpasses in the capital.

When I saw a family, I asked if their son's name was Zhang Ziliang.

After going around all day, instead of finding the owner, he spent almost all the few hundred dollars left in his pocket.

After all, taking a taxi in the capital is still very expensive, but in the eyes of Xu Yan, who has never lacked food and clothing since childhood, these expenses are normal "low consumption".

At nightfall, the money in Xu Yan's pocket was spent, and he was left alone on the streets of the capital.

Let the cool breeze blow on his face, but his stomach began to growl, the key is that he is still dragging such a large suitcase.

Tonight......

Where do we go from here?

I don't know when, the roadside that is relatively desolate during the day is gradually filled with night market stalls one after another.

There are those who sell small goods, those who sell antiques, and those who sell all kinds of street food......

Smelling the fragrance coming from the air, his stomach rumbled again, Xu Yan touched his two empty pockets, and then he really realized that his father Xu Chongshan's intentions were sinister.

"Hmph! Isn't it just that I'm sure I'm running out of money outside, and if I can't endure hardship, I'll die and beg to bow my head and go home to admit my mistakes!"

With a cold snort, Xu Yan was a mockery of his father Xu Chongshan, and it was also a kind of self-deprecation for his "stupid impulse".

He overestimated himself too much.

Since he was a child, he has no concept of basic money and life.

When you travel and stay in a hotel at home, at least a single room of a few thousand yuan or a suite of tens of thousands.

This made Xu Yan feel that he was already very frugal to live in a 998 express hotel.

However, just now he walked all the way, but found that the roadside was more of the kind of family hotel that 98 a night.

There are even 20 one-night bed rooms, and many people who travel to the capital or look for a job almost always prefer such a hotel to stay temporarily.

Let's talk about eating......

Xu Yan went out to eat Western steak or something before, and a meal of hundreds or thousands was really the most basic.

Is there really nothing wrong with eating food for one or two hundred or dozens of yuan?

But now there are a few dollars left in his pocket, Xu Yan bought a few pieces of pancakes called "light cakes" with a price of only 1.5 yuan on the side of the road, but they gobbled it up, not to mention how fragrant it was.

"Just simple flour with some minced meat and chives and roasted in the oven...... Why haven't I ever eaten such delicious pasta before?"

After eating, Xu Yan sat in the flower garden on the side of the road, and began to doubt his life for the past twenty years.

There is no doubt that the environment in which his parents grew up was the top.

He never felt that there was anything wrong, except for the matter of entering the entertainment industry as a star.

But now, really walking on the streets of the capital, and really being a "survivor", you have to integrate into such civilian life......

Xu Yan found that everything had become so real.

It turns out that what is really unreal is the privileged life of the second generation of stars in the past 20 years!

Enjoying the days of being the eldest young master, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear to endure when they come to eat this kind of hardship that civilians have to run for life without enough food.

It's only the third day, and Xu Yan's money was spent just a few hours ago, but Xu Yan's thoughts and concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes.

He regretted it a little, but he was even more glad.

He regretted that he really ran away from home empty-handed in a fit of anger, and he also regretted that he spent the last few hundred yuan to take a taxi to find someone in vain.

However, he was even more glad that he did.

squandered all the money with the mark of "Xu Chongshan" on his body......

And then the empty self will be a new blank paper, no matter how you want to display and paint.

Of course, the biggest gain is the above insights, a subversive thinking from luxury to frugality.

"Huh, Brother Huohuo, you are a rich second generation, why did you come here to eat all the cakes?"

Just as Xu Yan swallowed the last bite of light cake, a familiar voice came into his ears.
