Chapter 525
The two of them were sitting and chatting in the café, but they were not in a hurry to go back, the crew was filming tonight, and they had to rest for a day tomorrow, and then they would film during the day the day after tomorrow, so they would have a holiday tomorrow. Ye Zheng is also happy to relax, he is busy with work, but he is not a workaholic.
Sometimes when I think about it, Ye Zheng will also feel that he has pushed himself too hard and done too much, so that now all parties are busy. If you insist on doing music for a few years first, and then slowly step into the film and television industry, you may be able to relax a lot. But...... Time!
Everyone thinks that Ye Zheng's current high-speed and high-quality creation is extremely amazing and unprecedented, and most people think that this state cannot be maintained for a long time, if there are three or five years, it will be a miracle. If there are ten years, he is God. But every time Ye Zheng thinks about these things, and thinks back to the various works such as film and television songs in his mind, he will have a feeling of trepidation...... This fear comes from worry, of time.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to spread all of this stuff here. Although no one forced him, and although he was now called a miracle, there was a great and sacred sense of mission that urged him to do these things well and continue to work hard. And more to do in the future. Since a certain suspicion a few years ago, Ye Zheng thought to himself that whether he came through time, or said that there was an imaginary "past life" in his brain, these were not important. The important thing was that he had a strong desire to accomplish this task that God had given him. In his opinion, it was something he had to do.
A person's time and energy are really limited, Ye Zheng has been trying his best to do these things, just to really leave as many things as possible in this world. But people can't drive themselves crazy, a machine still needs to be maintained. What's more, Ye Zheng is still a person who yearns for a petty bourgeois and leisurely life in his bones. There is already a lot of pressure and external forces pushing him forward step by step, so don't push yourself too much, occasionally take a break and relax, he himself is also happy.
After sitting in the café for more than an hour, the two of them were about to leave, Xiao Qi smiled and said, "I'll go and tell her the book you wrote, and it's free." But do you think she's going to chase her out?" Ye Zheng said with a smile. He is not yet confident that everyone knows him, everyone knows him, and is still a fan of it. But Gu Yuerong must know about him. She would never have imagined that these two people who came here to drink coffee turned out to be Ye Zheng, right? Ye Zheng walked out of the café first, Xiao Qi came to the counter, and Gu Yuerong was already waiting with a smile.
"The book he writes now is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Xiao Qi said. "Legend of the Condor Heroes......" Gu Yuerong lowered her head and typed on the search bar of the Dragon and Phoenix website on her laptop, and just finished typing, she was about to press the ENTER key, but she was suddenly stunned. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes!" she looked up in surprise, only to find that Xiao Qi was pushing the door out, and on her counter, there was a hundred-yuan bill.
"The coffee is good, thank you for your blessings!" Xiao Qi's voice came, and he had already walked out. "Hey, hey!" Gu Yuerong hurriedly ran out, only to find that she got into a car and drove away.
"This ...... This ......" Gu Yuerong watched the car drive away blankly, and felt like she was in a cloud and fog and couldn't tell the difference. Didn't you mean that the man just now was Ye Zheng? right...... He claimed to have the surname Ye. Think about it again, although he wears sunglasses, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it Ye Zheng! The other one, after a little thought, knows that it should be Xiao Qi!
In fact, the news that Ye Zheng is now filming here in Baishui has also spread on the Internet, but Gu Yuerong didn't care much about this news, so she was able to meet Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi here, and Gu Yuerong felt that she was dreaming. Suddenly, she remembered something, walked back quickly, and took out the paper written by Ye Zheng, which was originally put in a drawer by her, but now she carefully put it in her wallet, thinking that she must hurry up and print it out tomorrow, and then carefully frame it and hang it on the wall. Well, be sure to indicate that it was written by Ye Zheng.
and the story told by Ye Zheng should also be recorded and framed. In addition, the raw materials of Irish coffee should indeed be bought more. I hope Ye Zheng can write the story of "Irish Coffee" as soon as possible, but he should announce this matter before Ye Zheng publishes it, and announce today's coincidence, so as to attract more popularity to his small shop. Thinking of these things in her heart, Gu Yuerong was very happy.
...... "I really want to know Gu Yuerong's expression now!" Xiao Qi laughed: "She must have been stunned, right?
Ye Zheng also smiled: "Maybe today's incident will be exposed by the entertainment tabloids, and tomorrow's headline will be Ye Zheng Xiao Qi's café tryst, sweet coffee." "Cut, love how. Xiao Qi said: "I wish they were telling the truth!" Ye Zheng coughed twice: "Do you want to go back to the hotel now?"
"No, it's okay tomorrow anyway, let's play more. Why are you going back to the hotel so early, you don't go to my room to play with me, it's so boring to stay by yourself. "Where are you going, and when you're full, you can't go to the bar again?"
"Don't go to the bar anymore. Hey, let's talk about warm thoughts, why don't we go back to the hotel and do something interesting?" Xiao Qi looked at Ye Zheng, suddenly approached Ye Zheng, put his left arm on Ye Zheng's body, stretched out his right hand and gently slid his finger over Ye Zheng's face, leaned on Ye Zheng's ear and said softly: "Handsome guy, the beautiful scenery of a good day, it's better to have fun in time......" Ye Zheng's face was tickled by the warm breath and hair of her words, and some weird feelings were born in his heart, and he hurriedly scolded: "Don't make trouble, drive." Xiao Qi chuckled and was about to leave, but suddenly approached Ye Zheng and kissed Ye Zheng lightly on the face.
"Nonsense!" Ye Zheng scolded. "Are you angry?" Xiao Qi chuckled, and said in Ye Zheng's ear: "Don't forget to wash your face when you go back to the hotel, I have a ...... with lip gloss today" "You sit down." Ye Zheng said with a frown, while pulling out a tissue to wipe his face. The light in the car was dim, and he couldn't see if there were any lip prints on his face.
"Obey!" Xiao Qi smiled, returned to his passenger seat and sat down, looked out of the window as if he was nothing, pressed the window again, took a deep breath, and said with satisfaction: "The air is so fresh! It is much better than Yanjing! The air here is no worse than those in Yanjing." Ye Zheng was still checking his face in the mirror, Xiao Qi looked back, and laughed: "I lied to you! Don't believe it, there is no lip gloss!" She pursed her lips and approached Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng withdrew and said, "Eldest sister, can you sit down?"
"I'm younger than you, so don't call me eldest sister. Xiao Qi said. "When expressing anger and helplessness, I like to call a woman of any age under the age of forty a big sister. Ye Zheng said, "Don't mess around!" "Where did I mess around?When did it happen?" Xiao Qi was surprised, and suddenly realized: "Oh, you said you kissed your face just now!
In this era of open thinking and culture, kissing is as simple as saying hello. Tut-tut, really, it seems that your mind is not emancipated enough, and you still need to read more of the documents issued by the Party Central Committee on emancipating your mind!" Ye Zheng was speechless, and could only return to the original topic: "Where are we going?"
"Ahead, in front!" Xiao Qi pointed to the front and said: "See, there is a stage in the square in front, it seems that someone is singing, let's go over and take a look!" Ye Zheng looked over and found that there was a small square of less than ten acres in front of him, and a stage was built on the square, and under the light, someone stood on the stage, holding a microphone in his hand as if he was singing. There were many people watching from the audience, and there were applause and lively sounds from time to time.
"There are so many people, don't go over, right?" Ye Zheng said. He feared that if he was recognized, he might be in trouble. Xiao Qi said: "Besides, you overestimate your charm too much, right? You are a star, but you are not luminous and will not shine." On this big night, everyone is watching the stage, who has time to take care of you? "Don't be too arrogant, okay? Be careful that I will deduct your salary." Ye Zheng said.
As far as their contemptuous words about Ye Zheng just now, Xiao Qi still felt that they almost didn't know themselves as a "little person"! The four of them came to the hotel where Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi lived, and Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin had just arrived in Baishui City, so they simply opened a room in this hotel. Ye Zheng saw that they had opened two rooms, and only then did he realize that they were not a husband and wife.
At the dinner table, Ye Zheng listened to their slow narration, and realized that they had released an album a few years ago, which was a cover album produced by Lu Chunyang and Wang Siqin. It has received excellent reviews and has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. But after all, because of the difference in philosophy, they did not sign a contract with a music company and followed the route of popular singers. "We hope to use music to express the oriental civilization and show the great ideological and cultural heritage that the oriental civilization has nurtured for thousands of years, not just some emotions. Lu Chunyang said: "In fact, in our opinion, whether it is touching love, tear-jerking family affection, or heart-warming friendship. These things are shallow. What we want to elaborate and convey is not just a simple feeling, but culture and inheritance.
The applause rang out, and most of the applause was young people. Among them, the girl who had just received the award was the most enthusiastic and obviously very excited. In fact, this is also a psychological behavior, she just answered the first question and got the prize, and subconsciously related the singer who will appear next on stage to herself, probably subconsciously feeling that she is their most loyal fan.
A handsome boy who looked to be in his early twenties and a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old walked to the stage, and the boy said something "It's not easy to be a singer, thank you for the support of your hometown fathers", and then said: "In order to thank my hometown parents for their support, today Ah Qiao and I will sing two of my latest original songs!" This is a new song, Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi have naturally never heard it, originally Ye Zheng didn't take the two of them to heart, but after listening to a few words, his eyes lit up.
This is a very fresh and natural song, with a cheerful and bright rhythm, and the duet between men and women is playful and lively, without the slightest twist. Many of today's original songs will still focus on love, love, breakup pain, etc., and many songs have a feeling of moaning without illness. But this song, no. And when singing, the two singers are also a little strange in the use of their voices, which is very distinctive.
A song has not been sung yet, Ye Zheng already knows that such a song is definitely an excellent Internet song. Maybe compared to those big songs, the singing skills of this song are not comparable to the span of any vocal range, and if it comes to the use of vocal music, it is definitely not as good. But such songs are easily accepted and loved by the general public and widely disseminated.
So Ye Zheng remembered a good Internet singer in his previous life...... Xu Liang. This Zhang Liang's singing style is quite similar to him!"How is it?" Ye Zheng asked Xiao Qi. "Yes, it's good. Xiao Qi looked at Ye Zheng: "What? want to sign them?" "What's going on with that online singer selection contest?" Ye Zheng frowned and said: "Why didn't I know there was such a selection? Since he won the third place in this competition, he must have been signed by the music company involved in this competition." If you want to sign them, you have to get them to terminate the contract first!"
"What's so difficult about this, just cancel the contract. Xiao Qi said indifferently: "Can they still play time and space music and stay in a small company?" "What if it's Shenlong or Baina?" Ye Zheng said. "Hmm...... That might not be easy. But if we pay a sufficient price, they will definitely agree. Hey, I said you have so many songs, it doesn't hurt to give them a few!" Xiao Qi smiled: "In the current music industry, who can resist the temptation of the songs you compose!"
"It depends. Ye Zheng said: "Go back and let Zhou Ke contact them, in recent years, online singers have developed rapidly, and we must also pay more attention to this aspect." Among young people, there are many talented people, and once discovered, they may be king-level stars. We don't want to miss it for the rest of our lives. Xiao Qi pointed to the two singers on the stage and said, "Do you think they will be king-level stars?" Ye Zheng shook his head: "That's not it." Internet songs are highly disseminated and loved, but they are often popular and then decline. For example, these songs sound good and are easy to sing, but if you listen to them too many times, you will feel that there is no depth and connotation. Such a song is popular for a while, but it can't be popular for a lifetime. If you don't have a classic, you can't become a star. ”
Xiao Qi nodded: "Let's go, it's not fun here, let's go to the mall and go back to the hotel!" They were about to leave, but Ye Zheng overheard a sigh from beside him, and a woman's voice sighed softly: "Now, is it only such a song that can be popular?" Ye Zheng looked over and found that it was a woman who looked to be about thirty years old, and beside her was a slightly older man. Both of them looked a little tired, and their clothes also gave people a feeling of being dusty.
The man shook his head and sighed: "In the red dust, the heart is not quiet, how many people are willing to listen to our quiet songs? Now, rock and pop music are the mainstream, commercial music models, and people don't pay attention to real music, how can they pay attention to our works?"
"How do you know?" Ye Zheng said in surprise, but Xiao Qi just pursed his lips and smiled. Because the meaning of cappuccino is to wait with a faithful heart, without changing your heart, looking forward to the arrival of sweet love. The girl smiled, and then turned and sat down at a nearby table, a book in her hand, and looked through it carefully.
"I see. Ye Zheng was stunned. "Cappuccino. Xiao Qi took a sip of coffee and said, "One-third espresso, one-third steam milk, one-third foamy milk." The first sip is sweet and soft, and the second sip is a little bitter and mellow. The taste of milk and coffee beans is like a sweet and bitter dream. It's sad and intoxicating. Ye Zheng smiled and said, "It's rare that you can say so literary." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it makes the big writer laugh. Xiao Qi said: "What is the story you are talking about Irish coffee? I know what cappuccino means, but I don't know what Irish coffee means. Ye Zheng noticed that the girl who was reading the book also put down the book, looked at them curiously, and when she saw Ye Zheng looking over, the girl was a little embarrassed and said, "Excuse me?" I'm just curious about what Irish coffee represents. ”
Ye Zheng smiled: "It's okay, if you're curious, you can listen to this story together...... But you don't know the meaning of Irish coffee?" the girl shook her head: "No, no one has mentioned the meaning of Irish coffee. There aren't many people who drink Irish coffee on a regular basis. So today you ordered Irish coffee, and I was quite surprised. Actually, I prefer to drink Irish coffee, and I often make it myself. ”
"Well, since there is no story or meaning, then this story starts with me. Ye Zheng smiled: "You can treat this as a myth that doesn't exist." "Tell me quickly!" Xiao Qi said. Ye Zheng spoke: "Legend has it that the inventor of Irish coffee was a bartender at Dublin Airport, and he fell in love with a flight attendant who often came to the bar, so he hoped to meet her. However, every time the flight attendant came to the bar, she only drank coffee and did not drink alcohol. But the bartender is good at making cocktails. So, he came up with a solution......"
"Combine whiskey and coffee?" the girl seemed to understand. "Yes. Ye Zheng nodded: "Later, the flight attendant finally discovered this coffee and ordered it......" "It's a simple story, but it's okay." Xiao Qi said: "So, the meaning of Irish coffee is similar to that of cappuccino, long-awaited love, finally love, or what?" "This is not a romantic story, I haven't finished telling it yet." Ye Zheng said, "Do you know what is the difference between the first cup of Irish coffee?" "What?" the girl asked curiously.
"Don't be appetizing, speak quickly. Xiao Qi said. "Do you know how long it took from the bartender inventing Irish coffee to the time this stewardess ordered it? So when the bartender made coffee for her for the first time, she was excited and cried. Then afraid of being seen by her, the bartender wiped away his tears with his fingers and drew a circle on the mouth of the coffee cup......" Ye Zheng picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "So the first sip of Irish coffee, with the taste of fermentation after being suppressed for a long time." In addition, the story is not finished yet, so don't rush. ”
The bartender got acquainted with the stewardess, and the bartender taught her how to make Irish coffee. But one day the flight attendant told him that she was going back to her home in San Francisco and told the bartender Farewell. "Farewell?" "Goodbye, no goodbye." Ye Zheng sighed and said: "After the stewardess left, she wanted to drink Irish coffee, but she searched all the cafes and didn't find it, and later realized that the Irish coffee was specially made for her by the bartender." Later, flight attendants also opened cafes, and Irish coffee spread. "Is the story finished?" Xiao Qi asked.
"That's it. "What a beautiful and sad story. The girl's expression looked impressed: "So, what is the meaning of Irish coffee?" "I miss no one in this life...... the girl seemed to be tasting the meaning of this sentence, and Ye Zheng continued: "Actually, there is another story related to Irish coffee, but it is relatively long, so I won't tell it." The girl's face showed pity, and Xiao Qi said, "You must write it down when you have time." ”
"Yes. I posted it on the site in retrospect. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "In that case, I guess Irish coffee will be a big hit!" Xiao Qi smiled. "You write books?" the girl asked curiously. "Writing books is one of my professions. Ye Zheng said. "Oooh. The girl nodded, smiled again, and said, "You guys talk, I won't bother." Also, I love your story. Can I write this story down and print it out and frame it and hang it on the wall?"
"Absolutely. Ye Zheng smiled: "In addition, I suggest that you can frame another sentence next to it." That's perfect. ”
"What?" the girl asked curiously. “Castacoldeye,Onlife,onDeath,Horseman,passby。 Ye Zheng said. "A cold glance, life and death, riders on the road?" the girl translated. "That's pretty much it. Ye Zheng said: "But I prefer to translate it as ...... Cast a cold eye, look at life, look at death, knight, forward. "You must be a good writer. The girl's eyes flashed with praise: "I also like this sentence very much, and I will definitely record it...... Well, by the way, could you please write that down?"
Ye Zheng was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay." "Thank you!" The girl happily brought a piece of clean pink paper and a doodle pen, Ye Zheng asked as she wrote, "You opened this coffee shop?" "That's right! I opened this coffee shop without going to college after graduating from high school." The girl said, "By the way, my name is Gu Yuerong." "My surname is Ye. Ye Zheng said. "Mr. Ye. Gu Yuerong put away the pen and paper, and said gratefully: "Thank you." And, actually, I'm kind of a book writer. ”
"Oh?" "Do you know about Longfeng Network?" Gu Yuerong asked, "I'll be serialized on that website." Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi both laughed, Ye Zheng said: "I know, how are yours? The girl said, "You also write a book on Longfeng Chinese Network?"
"Hmm. "What is the name of the book you wrote?" Gu Yuerong said excitedly: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet someone who wrote a book on the same website here, it's really fate!" "The book I wrote is kept secret. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "Is it because of bad grades?" Gu Yuerong said: "It's okay, my grades are not good, have you signed a contract and put it on the shelf?"
"The contract is on the shelves, and there are already 500,000 words. Ye Zheng said that since the opening of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he has basically maintained an update of about 10,000 words per day, and has updated 500,000 words so far. "Step by Step" has also been updated with about 100,000 words, but Jiaojiao has to study and go to school after all, and her daily time is limited, and it is impossible to carry it directly from her brain like Ye Zheng. Therefore, the daily update speed is only two or three thousand words, which makes many readers cry out. However, the plot of "Step by Step" has gradually unfolded, and many readers have said that it looks good, and readers who are faithful about the situation also know that Jiaojiao is still a high school student, so they are also complaining while understanding and looking forward to it.
So Ye Zheng smiled and asked: "Over there on the girls' network, there is a new book called "Step by Step", do you know?" "Of course I know!" Ye Zheng made an outline, and his cousin wrote a book, which one doesn't know about this on the Internet, authors and bookworms?" Gu Yuerong smiled: "I'm also chasing that book, but its update speed is a little slower, and it's on par with mine." But the quality of the content and the grades are certainly much better than my book. Why, are you reading that book too?
