Monday, August 23rd, morning.

When she felt the car stop in a daze, Wang Jingxue opened her eyes.

Their Wuxing Wusu combination has to take on a lot of commercial performances almost every month, this time they went to several cities in the south, a total of seven, plus in order to make a cameo appearance in a play a few vase models, and stayed there for a few days, which is two weeks in a row.

What's hateful is that the performance company is too picky, and the ticket back is actually bought in the middle of the night, which makes the sisters in the group yawn all day after getting off the plane, and they fell asleep after a short time in the company's pick-up car.

Like every time before, when they go out and come back, they always have to go to the agent Sister Wu to order first, and this time is no exception. It was just over nine o'clock, and everyone returned to the company to clean up and wash their faces, and Sister Wu had already arrived. But seeing that they are wilting one by one, they just wave their hands and take a day off.

Commercial performances are very fast, but running back and forth is really tiring.

After the disbandment, everyone quickly went their separate ways, Wang Jingxue was still at the end, cleaned up her small cabinet in the lounge, and then took the key and prepared to go to the underground garage to pick up the car and go home.

When passing by the singing room, she found that there were a bunch of people at the door who were discussing what they were watching, she knew that it must have been posted again from last week's sales list, and then she suddenly reacted, today is actually Monday.

It's just that...... She raised her wrist to look at her watch and found that it was almost ten o'clock, and she couldn't help but wonder a little in her heart: Usually at this time, the company has already finished reading, why are there still so many people around today?

She knew that there should be something abnormal on the list that was beyond everyone's imagination, so everyone would discuss it so vigorously while watching it.

Wang Jingxue was also very curious about what was going on, but she had never liked to crowd into such a lively place, and she slept poorly on the plane last night, so she felt very tired all over her body, so she wanted to stay until tomorrow morning to watch.

Downstairs to pick up the car, she carefully cheered up and drove her Great Wall trot all the way home, passing by the supermarket not far from the community, and went in to buy a few handfuls of vegetables, and when she returned home, it was almost eleven o'clock.

The house is very clean, which makes Wang Jingxue very satisfied: Erya is sometimes lazy, at home, I have talked about her a lot, but it may be that she has gradually grown up, and during the time she came to BJ, she found that Erya was a lot more diligent. At least I was away from home for half a month, and the hygiene in the house was good.

She put down the keys and handbag, put the vegetables in the refrigerator, and when she turned around, she saw the note left on the coffee table.

"Sister, I boiled millet porridge and left a bowl for you, which was heated in the rice cooker, you remember to drink it. By the way, yesterday I cooked some peanuts and pickled celery according to the method taught by my mother, and they were all mixed and in the refrigerator. It's just that when the peanuts and beans are boiled, the water is less, and it tastes a little mushy, hee hee ^-^"

Wang Jingxue smiled rarely.

Then, she saw the cD that had been placed under the note.

"Liao Liao".

The corners of Wang Jingxue's mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled again.

She knows that this is Erya reminding herself: You haven't broken the seal of this cD I gave you yet!

Putting down the note, she came to the kitchen to turn on the rice cooker, took a spoon and tasted the millet porridge, it was still warm, but not hot enough, so she turned on the power and heated it a little, feeling that it should be hot, so she turned off the power, took the bowl out, and soaked the water on the inner bowl of the rice cooker, and then took a pair of chopsticks and returned to the table next to the kitchen.

Putting down the bowl, she opened the refrigerator again and found Wang Jinglu's pickled celery peanut beans, took a small bowl and dialed the bottom of the bowl, poured some sesame oil and mixed it, and then sat down to enjoy her breakfast.

She has had a cold stomach since she was a child, and she didn't dare to eat cold, and if she ate a little more, she would not digest and have trouble with her stomach, so from childhood to adulthood, a bowl of millet porridge that nourishes her stomach every morning has never been broken.

The millet porridge is slightly hot and fragrant, and it is served with a little cold homemade pickles that have just been taken out of the refrigerator...... After going out for more than ten days, this is really a rare enjoyment for her - well, the peanut beans are indeed a little mushy, but I didn't find any burnt paste, and I think Er Ya should be picked out one by one.

With a bowl of millet porridge in her stomach, she obviously felt that her lower abdomen was warm, and the discomfort on the plane this night seemed to have been relieved a lot.

Then, she wiped her mouth, brushed out the inner bowl of the dishes and chopsticks and the rice cooker, and then took off her clothes and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower and sitting lazily on the sofa with a bath towel, she began to think about the harvest of this trip - in fact, there is nothing to calculate, Huage is one of the top music companies in China, and it is naturally extremely strong to treat ordinary artists, and the contracts signed by the five of them when they were signed by the company are also quite harsh.

This time I went out, and the cameo appearance in that drama was purely to show my face, let alone take the money, I couldn't wait to find someone else's crew money, and the remaining commercial activities, a total of 280,000 performances, the company had to take 50% directly, and the brokerage took 10%, and the remaining four transactions were taxed for five people, and one person got 15,000 yuan.

If you want to be serious, compared with the vast majority of peers, this income is naturally quite high, but in the music circle, especially for singers, this income is basically the bottom group. What's worse is not nothing, but those singers are often still wandering around the periphery of professional circles, and they are not professional singers.

Moreover, although the agent Sister Wu did not say anything, several sisters of Wuxing Wusu can feel that their appearance fees are getting lower and lower, their treatment is getting lower and lower, and the appearance conditions are becoming more and more demanding. For example, this time, three of the seven commercial performances required them to wear tight vests and miniskirts, to put it bluntly, they were invited over in order to let the five pairs of big white legs detonate the hormones on the scene, as for what song they sang, no one paid attention.

In fact, it's not surprising at all.

It has been more than a year since they released their first record last year, and they have barely sold about 300,000 copies, and their market influence is already limited, and it is said that many people do not buy genuine copies not to listen to songs, but purely to watch the sexy dance in that mV disc. Therefore, when the company was preparing for their second album, it did not seem to be too motivated, so that the second album has only been halfway done until now.

Moreover, as one of the only two girl groups in China, their Wuxing Wusu group was originally to follow the style of Xinda Records' "Sister Tao Group", but the three sisters mainly took the cute route, and the company's development strategy when signing the five sisters was to take the sexy route.

At the moment, it is not a success.

Of course, I don't know if the Chinese people are still reluctant to accept the relationship between the singing group, that is, the first two albums of the start-up "Sister Tao Group", that is, hundreds of thousands of sales, are far from success. It is even said that now there is an idea of disbanding the group within Cinda Records.

She sighed and slumped herself on the couch in complete relaxation.

With a glance, she saw the box of cD on the coffee table again. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the cD box and gently pulled it, unwrapped the outer packaging, and took the cD out.

After signing the contract and releasing the record, the sisters finally began to have an income in addition to the pitiful monthly salary given by the company, and it was a lot more income than before, some of them bought big houses, some bought luxury cars, but Wang Jingxue did not. She still lives in a small rented apartment, and after getting her own money, in addition to spending less than 40,000 yuan to buy a second-hand Great Wall trot to travel, her biggest consumption is to buy a piano, and spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy a set of hIFI audio that is not even an entry.

Turning on the power and putting the cD in, she went back to the couch and sat down.

The music rang out, the song rang out.

I have heard Liao Liao's single before, and now I listen to her songs, even Wang Jingxue has to admit that this girl's voice and singing skills are really good and amazing! Especially there seems to be a quality in her voice, which can catch your ears and touch your heart at the first time!

In contrast, Wang Jingxue felt that although her singing skills were not lost to her, in terms of voice, she was a little at a loss - God is pitiful, in fact, in people's traditional understanding, a voice like her is the best, clear, high-pitched, penetrating, fast and slow singing, sweet and love songs! However, with Zhen Zhen's sudden popularity, it seems that people's understanding of the voice of female singers has suddenly turned, and everyone began to think that female singers' voices must be like Zhen Zhen's to be good!

Well, this is not surprising, even Wang Jingxue herself thinks so.

Zhen Zhen's voice is high-pitched and unrestrained in the treble area, like a surging river, the midrange area is full and open, like a thousand drums in unison, and the bass area is mellow and dense, like a lover's whisper...... It's just unconvincing.

And compared to her, this Liao Liao's voice is not inferior!

In Wang Jingxue's opinion, if you have to compare the two, in the high-pitched area, the expressiveness of Liao Liao's voice should be slightly weaker, although her slight hoarseness is really very impressive, but I always feel that it is not as imposing as Zhen Zhen's general voice. As for the midrange area, the two should be able to be considered a draw, each with its own strengths and characteristics, and in the bass area, Liao Liao is a step ahead, and the feeling of telling in her voice is even stronger than Zhen Zhen!

With such a discerning voice, even Wang Jinglu felt that this Liao Liao would become popular sooner or later.

But then thinking of her current situation, Wang Jingxue couldn't help but have a headache: before going out this time, the producer had agreed with the agent Sister Wu to set a new song for them, and after getting the songbook, what others thought Wang Jingxue didn't know, but first of all, in her own heart, she almost couldn't help but run away.

The lyrics of that song, from beginning to end, are full of a kind of **naked sexual provocation!

But...... What can it be?

She rubbed her brow, forcing herself to put it aside for a moment and concentrate on listening to the song.

But to be honest, this song is not too brilliant, the only thing that stands out is probably Liao Liao's voice and singing skills. In addition, this song is a very normal urban love song - many people have sung it, many people are singing it, and there will still be many people who will release this kind of song in the future.

I don't know if this song is too unattractive, or I really didn't sleep well last night, at this time leaning on the sofa and listening to the song, Wang Jingxue actually began to nap unconsciously.

All the way up to ...... She suddenly heard that agitated and unrestrained voice!

"My hometown is not beautiful, with low thatched houses, bitter wells, and a small river that often runs dry, attached to the village. On a barren land, I harvested a meager hope, lived year after year, and lived generation after generation. ……”

Wang Jingxue opened her eyes suddenly.

This is...... Folk songs!

This word, it's so well written!

Of course, this piece is also quite good! the tune is unrestrained and tactful, free and delicate. Liao Liao's voice was effortless and easy to control.

As the saying goes, "the son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not to be poor", the poverty and barrenness of the hometown cannot make the word hometown lose its color, but makes the love and love for the hometown in the song more and more exciting!

That's what makes the lyrics!

That's what a good song is!

This level of work, when it was won during the popularity of folk songs ten years ago, is definitely the top!

…………

Soon, the song was finished, but Wang Jingxue immediately picked up the remote control and chose to go backwards, while listening to the arrangement from the beginning, she couldn't help but pick up the cD box on the coffee table, pulled out the lyrics book inside, brushed to the fourth page, and found the lyrics of the song. However, the moment she saw the lyrics, she was immediately stunned -

Next to the name of the song, there are two identical names.

Lyricist: Li Qian.

Composer: Li Qian.

Wang Jingxue's brows instantly furrowed.

This is not surprising, as early as when Erya bought this cD for herself, Wang Jingxue had already guessed that this was probably a collection of a certain song that Li Qian sold to Liao Liao, although it is really hard to determine how much it was sold, but it seems that the sale of songs can be confirmed to be true.

It's just that he shouldn't be selling this song!

How old is he? He should be the same age as Erya, that is, seventeen.

A seventeen-year-old boy...... Write this kind of song?

Not to mention anything else, take this song as an example, if you are not born in the Northwest, or are extremely familiar with the Northwest region, and have great feelings, can you write such lyrics?

But Li Qian is from Jinan!

He's only seventeen years old, and he probably hasn't left home yet!

She looked down again, and yes—

Lyricist: Li Qian.

Composer: Li Qian.

His brows furrowed and he shook his head slightly.

Soon, the song finished playing for the second time.

The next song is an ordinary urban love song again. Wang Jingxue only listened to it for the first time, then took the lyric book and flipped it back, and sure enough, the next song was called "Persistence", and the lyricist and composer were Li Qian.

When I first read the lyrics, the stubborn energy between the lines is more like Li Qian wrote than the folk song written in the northwest just now, but compared to his age, this song still seems too mature!

Just at this time, the previous song was played, and after a short interval, a guitar sounded.

As soon as Liao Liao's voice came out, there was a stubborn feeling in the laziness, which shocked Wang Jinglu at once!

Then, her eyes widened in surprise...... It's a soft rock song!

Still, it's a good sound!

In a trance, she suddenly remembered the scene she saw before leaving the company in the morning, and her heart suddenly came back to her heart: Liao Liao's album must have been a big hit!

Another female singer, on the rise!

Taking a deep breath, she flipped to the next page of her lyric book.

Wild flower.

Lyricist: Li Qian.

Composer: Li Qian.

…………

She turned another page—

Cheers, friend.

Lyricist: Li Qian.

Composer: Li Qian.

…………

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jinglu came back from school.

When she entered the house and saw her sister's high heels, she quickly changed her slippers and entered the house, and saw that her sister was busy in the kitchen, and she didn't even bother to put down her satchel, so she jumped to the kitchen door first, and said, "Sister, sister, have you drunk the millet porridge I left for you?" Are celery peanuts and beans delicious?

Wang Jingxue turned off the heat, and said lightly while serving the dishes: "Well, it's almost, it's just a little more mushy." ”

Wang Jinglu laughed twice, turned around and put the bag.

Two minutes later, she ran over again and looked at Wang Jingxue's back with a look of surprise, "Sister, sister, did you listen to that cD?

Wang Jingxue nodded, turned around and asked her to serve the food, while serving the rice herself, and said, "Well, listen, it's not bad." Liao Liao's singing skills are great!"

After a pause, she finished the rice, looked back and saw Wang Jinglu still staring at her, and suddenly smiled and said, "Li Qian's songs are also good! Well, maybe he really sold 400,000 yuan, and my sister took back those words before." ”

"Yay!"

If it weren't for a plate of vegetables in her hand, Wang Jinglu would have been able to jump up this time.

But soon, she couldn't be happy again, stared at Wang Jingxue's eyes carefully, and said worriedly: "Sister, why are your eyes so red? You didn't sleep well last night? You didn't sleep for a while when you got home?"

Wang Jingxue smiled and said, "Eat first." ”

As a result, sitting at the dinner table, Wang Jingxue obviously wanted to speak several times, and in the end, Wang Jinglu simply stopped her chopsticks and looked at her sister, and asked, "Sister, is there something wrong with you?"

Wang Jingxue looked up at her, barely showed a smile, shook her head, and said, "It's okay." ”

"Oh. Hearing this, Wang Jinglu continued to bow her head to eat.

But soon, Wang Jingxue stopped her chopsticks and asked, "Your training class is almost over?"

Wang Jinglu nodded and said, "There are still two days of class." After thinking about it, she said again: "Sister, when the course is over, I want to go home again, I miss my mother again." ”

Wang Jingxue nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go back." ”

Wang Jinglu asked, "Then ...... Will you go back with me?"

Wang Jingxue thought about it, shook her head slowly, and said: "Recently, I was rehearsing a new song, and I went to the company first when I came back in the morning, and the agent said that before leaving, the new song had been choreographed by the choreographer, and you also knew that the next step was to start rehearsing the dance." ”

Although Wang Jinglu was helpless when she heard this, she had no choice but to nod.

After the sisters finished eating, Wang Jinglu took the initiative to wash the dishes very obediently, and Wang Jingxue only helped clean up the dining table, and then returned to the sofa to sit down and rest.

Through the sliding door of the glass, she watched Erya busy there, listening to the sound of rushing water, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the cD box and the lyric book on the coffee table.

She picked up the lyric book and tried to open it, but eventually put it back in the cD box.

Got up and put cD on the small bookshelf, looking at the words "Liao Liao", she couldn't help but sigh softly.

***

Anyway, when I first released the book, I didn't know if anyone read what I wrote, and I was worried about it every day, and I always felt that what I wrote here was not good there, so I wrote very slowly. The strange thing is that at that time, most of the book review area was all kinds of contempt, all kinds of contempt, all kinds of scorn, all kinds of slow pace and ran away, but no one said that I was slow to update. But recently, I've been around 4,506,000 a day, which is faster than the two chapters in three days at that time, but the entire book review area is complaining that it's too slow, alas......
