885, Li Xiang's new song
PS: 6000 words big chapter
"My Douyin account?" Li Xiang received a call from Xiang Xiaoyuan.
asked Xiaoyuan about his Douyin account, and said that he wanted to send out the video of Master Dou to play.
Li Xiang: "You can just register one yourself." β
He was worried that Huang Youyi would send a private message and be seen by Xiaoyuan's mother at that time.
Wang Yinzhen came over and said it was time to go, and now she was going to the rehearsal.
Li Xiang was disturbed, didn't think much about it, hurriedly gave the account password to Xiang Xiaoyuan, and Wang Yinzhen walked out of the office, walked to the first floor, and when he passed the employee work area, he saw Xiao Zhang talking to his colleagues, and he seemed to be in a good state of mind, and he was not depressed because of Xiao Xia's departure.
While responding to everyone's greetings, he and Wang Yinzhen left the studio and drove away.
After Xiao Xia went to the United States, he was already busy, and McGraw Publishing House was already printing the first batch of "The Old Man and the Sea", with a quantity of 100,000 copies.
Originally, only 50,000 copies were planned, but the good news from Europe boosted McGraw Publishing's confidence. Since winning the Prix Goncourt, "The Old Man and the Sea" has finally opened up its popularity and opened up the European literary market, from the previous sales of 40,000 copies in half a month to an average of 12,000 copies a day.
McGraw Publishers had a good time, neither sooner nor later, and it was when "The Old Man and the Sea" stepped in. This made the French publisher Laroux a little dissatisfied, thinking that he had worked hard to help "The Old Man and the Sea" open up the market, but in the end it made McGraw cheap. Before, they also wanted to represent the business of "The Old Man and the Sea" in the Americas, but in the end, Li Xiang did not agree, and bet all the books on a publishing house, doing good and bad work on the other party, and it was easy to be restrained by the other party.
Eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Because of the good momentum, McGraw Publishing printed 100,000 copies of "The Old Man and the Sea" at one time, ready to be put on the market at one time, and at the same time, with the participation of Xiao Xia, McGraw Publishing cooperated with the media in the United States to set off a huge publicity offensive, and sent an invitation to Li Xiang, inviting him to attend the listing event of "The Old Man and the Sea" at that time.
The black Volvo Stretch sedan silently weaves through Shengjing City, rolling up dead leaves falling from the road.
The leaves are yellow or golden, with only a pointed horn, like hearts. This is poplar leaves, one of the most abundant plants on the streets of Shengjing.
Shengjing has been sunny for three days in a row, the air is fresh, the sky is very blue, the poplars on the side of the road are hanging with dense yellow leaves, which are withering day and night, and many trees next to them have become bare. These are locust trees, whose leaves have withered first, and now only the vigorous branches remain, waiting for the spring breeze to arrive next year, and the first to grow fine and dense white flowers.
Dead leaves drifted in the breeze, and the pavement, which had only been swept in the morning, soon fell in a thick layer of fallen leaves.
The sun hung obliquely in the eastern mid-air, shining through the rows of poplar and locust trees.
It was a very comfortable day.
The driver was a driver sent by the Volvo brand, including the two extended versions. Today is the day of the "Volvo Brand Night" event, and Li Xiang started preparing a month ago.
At 10 a.m., the car drove into Volvo China's headquarters. The group got the news first, and as soon as the car appeared in view, they came out of the heated hall and waited outside in the cold.
Although the weather in Shengjing is sunny and the sun is warm, the outdoor temperature is only 6 degrees.
As soon as the car stopped, the staff came and opened the door.
Li Xiang saw through the car window and immediately recognized the person in charge, who was the president of Volvo Greater China. He straightened his collar, got out of the car, smiled on his face, shook hands with the other party, and then shook hands with the others who accompanied him. Among these people are Chinese, there are also foreigners, some of whom he has come into contact with and know each other, and some of whom are meeting for the first time.
Li Xiang's image and fame are increasing day by day, especially recently in literature, which is an unexpected surprise for Volvo, which makes them pay more attention to working with him.
It was cold outside, and everyone quickly walked into the lobby, and under the guidance, they first visited Volvo's Huaxia headquarters, entered the exhibition hall, listened to the history of the brand, and then had a small luncheon.
After a short break at noon, I came to the Shengjing Opera House to participate in the rehearsal of the brand night. It is not only Li Xiang who participated in the event tonight, but also 8 other singers, including Zhang Yin. Together, they supported the scene of tonight's event.
This is Zhang Yin's first performance on stage after signing with the studio. His new song had already been recorded and ready to be uploaded to the Lefu Music website for the first time in public, but Li Xiang discussed with him and rejected the idea of appearing at the Volvo Brand Night event, and instead decided to sing it for the first time at the charity concert held by "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
After the rehearsal, there was a dinner party. Unlike the luncheon, this time it was bigger and more staffed, not only all the executives of Volvo, but also the global president of Volvo, as well as many invited media, sponsors, partners, etc.
At the dinner, Li Xiang became the focus, and wherever he went, someone went over to talk to him for the first time.
The dinner at half past five ends at half past six, and the brand night activities begin at half past seven.
There is no live TV broadcast of this event, there is a live webcast, and it can be easily searched by those who want to watch it. Li Dan's live broadcast tonight is very lazy, so he directly switches the content to the live broadcast of this event, and he just eats melons and talks on the side.
After "Tucao Conference" became popular, he still did not give up his old job, and conducted live broadcasts at a fixed time every day, but he no longer taught students to do homework live broadcasts. He has evolved into a big anchor and enjoys the tilt of the platform's resources.
Master Dou Dou sat obediently in front of the TV after dinner at home, watching his father toss the computer for a while, and the TV for a while, and he hasn't tossed out Li Elephant for a long time.
Dou Dou pulled the baby fat and asked, Dad, are you okay duck.
Li Chao wanted to connect the picture on the computer to the TV so that the whole family could see it clearly, but it was a bit complicated, and he didn't understand it after tossing for a while.
After listening to his daughter's questioning, Li Chao said that it would be fine immediately.
Dou Dou rolled up her little sleeves, got up and ran to Li Chao's feet, holding her little head high and looking in circles with concern, if it weren't for her lack of height, she really wanted to go out in person.
"You go back and sit down first, and don't go around at my feet, what if I step on you. Li Chao said.
Xiang Xiaoyuan also shouted to Dou Dou to come back, don't disturb Dad, it will only take more time.
The teacher also said to let Dou Dou give Dad another 5 minutes.
"Okay, Dad, I'll give you another five minutes. Dou Dou went back unsatisfied, and when he passed the coffee table, he quickly pinched a small red tomato in the fruit bowl and stuffed it in his mouth to eat, and his big eyes also glanced at his mother, and he was very proud to see that he was not noticed.
She saw that the master looked at her moving mouth, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, you can take it yourself." β
Teacher: "I want to see pigeons." β
The elder brother didn't come out, Li Chao couldn't handle it, and was disgusted by the little sister, mainly because Dou Dou repeatedly hit him with words.
"I want to see the pigeon~~~" the teacher shouted. If you don't show her, she might cry.
Li Chao hurriedly moved his two little sisters to the computer and asked them to stare at the computer first.
"Hah! The elephant is in there. Dou Dou excitedly pointed to the computer and showed it to Li Chaohe and Xiang Xiaoyuan.
"Look at this, let's look at this. "Xiang Xiaoyuan found a home projector. This was bought by Li Xiang before, saying that it was used to watch movies at home, but he only used it once. This time, Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it, took it out of the utility room, wiped it clean, and debugged it with Li Chao, and it was quickly done.
Xiang Xiaoyuan turned off the lights in the living room, and the screen appeared clearer.
This time the scene is big, the whole wall is a screen, the little sister doesn't have to stare at the computer, she sits back on the sofa, holds the doll, watches the elephant move around on the screen, and praises her mother for being awesome.
Li Chao was embarrassed, with a sense of frustration in his heart, and sat quietly in the corner of the sofa, when suddenly a hand reached out in the darkness and held his hand gently. His heart warmed, and he held it tightly.
Xiang Shuying, who was far away in Guangdong, had dinner with her boyfriend, and quarreled over some trivial things, and broke up unhappily. She drove home angrily, and when she was about to get home, she parked the car on the side of the road to calm herself down and not bring her emotions home, which would make her parents worried.
She and her boyfriend have quarreled not once or twice, as the relationship progresses, the quarrel has become more, almost every week, but it will be reconciled not long after the quarrel, but this time, Xiang Shuying feels that it is not so simple, the situation is a little complicated, she can't stand this endless quarrel, she feels so tired, and wants to escape.
The phone rang, and it was a call from my boyfriend. She picked up her mobile phone, hesitated to answer it, and after thinking about it, she just convinced herself that she was about to connect, but the phone didn't ring, and she had already hung up first.
She looked at the mobile phone in her hand in a daze, and finally did not call back, but opened the APP and found Li Dan's live broadcast room. This little elephant's younger brother is a joke and very funny, she often secretly watches the live broadcast to bring herself a good mood.
This time, it was not Li Dan chatting with people in the live broadcast room, but Li Xiang's activities were broadcast live. Xiang Shuying turned off the lights in the car, put the seat down, and half-lay down to make himself more comfortable. When you're in a bad mood, it's better to watch your nephew sing, which is a good way to regulate your mood.
She was ready to go home after watching the baby elephant's livestream, but before that, she sent a text message to her family so that they wouldn't worry.
Huang Youyi, who is also in Guangdong, has just returned from the training center and has officially returned to training since November. Her mother, Qiao Xiuxiu, brought out the hot meal and sat at the dining table while watching her eat and chatting.
The meals are all Huang Youyi's favorite food. After learning that her daughter would come home early tonight and have dinner at home, Qiao Xiuxiu cooked it herself and made a creamy pumpkin soup, well, only this one dish was made, and the remaining 3 dishes were all made by the nanny at home.
Qiao Xiuxiu kept recommending this creamy pumpkin soup, which made Huang Youyi drink bowl after bowl, saying that this was very replenishing her physical strength, and it also condensed her love, and she sighed that she was really painstaking.
Huang Youyi smiled and said, "Did you quarrel with your father again?"
Qiao Xiuxiu said without changing her face: "This is not called a quarrel, this is a way to mediate the backlog of contradictions, you will know when you get married in the future." β
Without waiting for Huang Youyi to continue asking, she preemptively asked, "What happened to you and Li Xiang?"
Huang Youyi hummed a song, and her pride was overflowing.
Qiao Xiuxiu immediately understood, didn't ask again, and after Huang Youyi finished eating, she asked again in front of Huang Qianhe: "Youyi, how are you and Li Xiang? When will you get married?"
Huang Qianhe looked over, his eyes full of surprise.
Huang Youyi looked at her mother helplessly, this was deliberately angry with her father, the means were too naΓ―ve.
She didn't answer the question of when she would get married, which was too far away. As soon as she thought so, she suddenly thought that Li Xiang suddenly called her some time ago and asked her to marry him, at that time she was confused, her mind was blank, and then it was an indescribable feeling.
When she thought about this, in the eyes of Huang Qianhe and Qiao Xiuxiu, she thought that she was really thinking about the topic of marriage.
Huang Qianhe said: "You are only 18 years old. β
Huang Youyi came to her senses and said, "My mother is deliberately angry with you, you guys are quarreling again." β
Huang Qianhe understood, and looked at Qiao Xiuxiu helplessly, only to see this wife's smug face. Alas, this woman is so beautiful and lovely even when she is unreasonable.
Huang Youyi didn't want to get involved in the couple's daily quarrels, her mother was very childish, and her father liked to be jealous, so the two had to quarrel almost every day from her small to big. She was tired.
The news was playing on the TV, and she thought that there was a live broadcast of the baby elephant's event tonight, so she took out her phone and found the live broadcast.
Qiao Xiuxiu leaned her head and said loudly, Li Xiang this, Li Xiang that.
Huang Qianhe sat still at all, took out his mobile phone, and found Li Xiang's live broadcast scene, knowing himself and his opponent, and he was invincible.
At the event site in Shengjing, Zhang Yin was the third to sing. He sang a rock song, "Shouting in the Drizzle".
This song was not his original song, but he liked it very much, and after asking for permission, he got the authorization of the original song, which was set to be the first sound of his career restart.
With his singing, the barrage discussion in the live broadcast room was very hot.
"Is Zhang Yin so expressive on the spot? I haven't heard much of this person before. β
"The treble is really powerful~~~ and very stable, this is not repaired!"
"It's amazing, I don't seem to be listening to a song, I'm watching a song. β
"Really, it's a song, is this an opera?"
"A man screaming in the drizzle. β
"What a man with a story. β
"No wonder my brother wants to sign this person, sure enough, heroes cherish heroes. β
"Such a strong singer, Miya Entertainment has been refrigerated for 7 years, what are they doing?"
"You can search for Zhang Yin on the Internet, he used to be really arrogant, and it took 7 years to transform into what he is now, it's not that he was so strong before. My brother is really discerning. β
Xu Shuzhi, president of Miya Entertainment, also watched the live broadcast at home. Because he heard that Zhang Yin would appear at this event, he specially watched it to see how this former first brother of the company is doing now.
When Zhang Yin was terminated, he was not yet the president. Zhang Yin was a victim of Wang Dang and Liang Baozhou's internal fighting. After he became the president, he was busy with company affairs, and he didn't think of Zhang Yin for a while, and when he remembered it and wanted to sign it back, Zhang Yin had already entered Li Xiang's account.
At that time, he told Zhou Ni about this, and Zhou Ni comforted him, Zhang Yin may not be the same Zhang Yin as before, there is no need to regret a person who is no longer a company, not to mention that this person has fallen for 7 years, no one knows if he can get up, 99% of them can't get up.
Now watching Zhang Yin's scene, Xu Shuzhi suddenly felt a huge regret, feeling that he had missed a general, just with this kind of singing skills and expressiveness on the scene, there are really not many singers who can be compared in the Chinese music scene.
Tonight's scene is like Zhang Yin's first trial cry. Although this is not an official concert scene, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this stage.
Xu Shuzhi heard Zhou Ni say that Li Xiang had already written a new song for Zhang Yin, and when the time comes, I am afraid it will be the time for Zhang Yin to soar into the sky.
The mobile phone at hand vibrated for a moment, and it was Zhou Ni who came to text the message. He opened it and saw that it read: We missed another good singer.
Xu Shuzhi couldn't help but sigh. At home, there is no need to pretend to be strong, he is really overwhelmed by the current situation of Miya Entertainment.
Originally, after "Today's Star" last year, he thought that the time had come for Miya Entertainment to rise strongly, but he didn't expect it to be just a flash in the pan. And within Miya Entertainment, there are no people who carry the current situation, the champions of this year's "Today's Star" men's and women's events are not very good, and in last year's show, I am afraid that it is only barely the strength to enter the top 9, and it is a pity to eat tastelessly and abandon it.
After Zhang Yin sang, he returned to the backstage, and other singers and staff waiting for him to come on the stage greeted him and congratulated him.
Zhang Yin responded to everyone one by one, his heart was extremely happy, the cells of his whole body seemed to be jumping, and he re-entered the stage. He didn't leave, but went back to the lounge, watched the TV in the room, and waited for Li Xiang to sing. However, Lee wanted to play until the end, and he was the finale.
Tonight's event was not a concert, but a brand night, and after the five singers took the stage to sing, the brand began to launch three new cars. After the promotion ended, the singers continued, and just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Li Xiang finally appeared in the finale. There were 10,000 people at the scene, and the Shengjing Opera Theater was just full. The crowd who had been waiting all night cheered, waved the glow sticks in their hands, and roared a tsunami.
In Xiao Li's house, Li Chao had already prepared two glow sticks for Master Dou Dou. Dou Dou also found the little snake he had hidden, hung it around his neck, and also found the small snail number that Li Dan had given her.
The little snail horn, blowing toot, blowing for a long time, Dou Dou's face was red, and he didn't make a sound, asking his father for help.
Dad looked at it and said that this one can't make a sound, the inside is solid, closed, and can't be blown, but can only be seen and used for ornamentation.
Dou Dou was furious, shouting that he wanted to settle accounts with Hei Dandan, and he actually deceived Sister Xiaotu!
She was about to call Black Dandan, but suddenly she saw that her elephant was already singing on the screen, and she held back, and the little fart who had just gotten up sat back again, staying with her teacher, holding her little head high, like two little penguins.
What Li Xiang brought was a brand new song, specially prepared for car brands. When he signed a contract with Volvo, there was such a clause, two months before the event, Li Xiang got the news that there would be a brand night at this time, and he needed to write an original song at that time.
Although it is nominally a song written for the brand, the song actually has nothing to do with the other party, and all the copyrights are in Li Xiang, which is just released in the name of Brand Night.
Li Xiang stood on the stage, under a spotlight, and waved to the audience. The lights in the theater had been extinguished, as if they had been completely sucked away, and then they were cast on the stage and sprinkled on him. He could only see the glow sticks waving quietly, but he couldn't see people's faces, and there were some small, dense and noisy whispers reaching his ears.
Two lines of words appear projected on the big screen:
Song: "All the Way North"
Lyrics: Li Xiang
Original singer: Li Xiang
The sound of an engine accelerating...... The sound of the scene first rose for a while, and then fell completely silent.
People quietly listened to the new song brought by Li Xiang. The prelude to the song is very special, and it is really related to cars.
The prelude was a little long, and after more than ten seconds, Li Xiang hadn't started singing, Dou Dou couldn't wait, and he sang at home, and then his little mouth was covered by his teacher.
The master covered Dou Dou's mouth, but his big eyes still fell on the wall, where her elephant brother had not yet sung, and it was not until more than ten seconds later that she heard him sing:
"The world in the rearview mirror
Farewells farther and farther away
You turn your back
The side face is still beautiful
I chase it with my eyes
I hear your tears
Wandering outside the car window
It's the opportunity I missed
The direction in which you are standing
There were tears between me
Street View keeps receding
Your collapse is piecemeal outside the window
I went all the way north
Leave the season with you
