The editorial office of Artist Weekly.

Zheng Guochang held the freshly washed out photo, his brows furrowed.

Sure enough, as he expected, the photo was taken of He Runqing, but it was only the back of the side, and only half of his face was exposed, but it was the man, smiling, occupying the center of the whole photo.

As for the second one, well, that's a woman's hand, and street fortune telling is useful.

He was very worried, he had already been discovered by He Runqing, and it was not impossible to follow him in the future, but the other party must be on guard, and it would not be easy to get some top-secret photos and news in advance.

And the one taken now, even if it is cropped and everyone else and background except He Runqing and the man are removed, and then used, there is really no gimmick to explode.

Both of them were standing, and they didn't hold hands and there was nothing, it was really not crooked.

To put it simply, a scrap sheet.

He wanted to throw the photo directly into the shredder, but hesitated, sighed and put it away.

At this time, I don't know who shouted, "Entertainment version, hurry up, urgent task." Many people in the editorial room looked up, and some of them asked, "What's wrong?"

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and ran out and replied: "Zhou Yan is coming back, signing with Sony, press conference in the afternoon." ”

It was quiet for about a second, and then, with a brush, the editing room exploded.

"It's been almost a year, and since before the Spring Festival, I've been talking about a comeback, a comeback, but there has been no movement, this time it seems that it's going to be played?"

During the discussion, several people stood up and were about to run to the director's office, seemingly ready to grab this task - everyone knows that as soon as the big news of Zhou Yan's comeback comes out, it will be designated to make headlines. Headlines, that means a lot of prize money, not to mention that it's a press conference. In the past, I just waited for the news to come out, and it was not a lot of effort at all.

Zheng Guochang hesitated, and subconsciously wanted to pinch his cigarette and stand up, but in the end. He stopped anyway.

Forget it, this kind of news on the side of the road, so many people grab it, don't go to join in the fun, even if you grab it, you will offend people.

Finish smoking a cigarette. Extinguishing the cigarette butt, he looked at the photo in his hand, racking his brains to imagine how to make a little use of it.

Secret Lover?

If it is true, it is really explosive news, and it is not much less sensational than Zhou Yan's comeback, because in the past ten years, He Runqing has always shown people as a jade girl, singing sweet songs, mainly relying on male fans to pay, of course, he doesn't even dare to talk about love. And it is said that He Runqing himself has indeed always been very clean.

It's just that...... It's a bit of, this photo doesn't look like it at all.

So, did you report on the opening of Li Qian's studio?

More!

After coming back, he thought about it carefully, and he had gradually figured out who Li Qian was, and naturally he knew roughly why he had opened a studio, but so many heavyweights in the circle came to congratulate him.

But it didn't work.

If you want to talk about the behind-the-scenes personnel in the music industry, can anyone be bigger than the old man Xie Jinshun? But the old man Xie has been in the domestic music scene for many years. How many times have you seen him make headlines on the news? Not to mention the headlines, as far as Zheng Guochang's understanding is concerned, this old man has written countless classic songs in his life, and the superstars he has picked up in one hand are also a handful. But his own photo should not have appeared in the newspaper for decades.

Why?

Readers don't like to read it, they don't care.

To put it simply, reporting what brand of cosmetics He Runqing uses is more attractive than the opening of Li Qian's studio.

So, okay...... After a moment's hesitation, he opened the document on his computer. wrote the title on the first line - "The first public appearance after the termination of the contract, He Runqing talked and laughed with his friends".

Well, that's it, let's start making it up!

At this time, before he could start writing the manuscript, he heard a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and he guessed that someone should have grabbed this good task that made headlines and hurried to it.

He shook his head, smiled helplessly, and began to make up stories.

But at this time, Hu Lifu walked into the editing room, and at a glance, he found Zheng Guochang sitting in front of the computer in the corner, and then strode over directly, came to his side, bent down, and whispered: "Guochang, I heard that you took a photo of the opening of Li Qian's studio?"

The two know each other very well, and their work areas complement each other, so the relationship is very good. Zheng Guochang turned his head to look at him and picked up the photo on the table, "Oh, this, it's useless, I'm trying to make up a story for them!"

Hu Lifu took the photo, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the smiling young man in the center of the photo, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Okay, it's him!"

While speaking, he patted Zheng Guochang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Guochang, let me give me this photo, even if I owe you a draft, don't make it up, I'll write the draft, I will use this photo, and I will invite you to drink when I go back." ”

Zheng Guochang was worried, and immediately said: "No problem! A good meal, don't fool me with a bottle of two pots and a plate of peanuts and beans!

Hu Lifu laughed when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, as long as I pass this manuscript, don't talk about pig's head meat, I will directly invite you to eat roast lamb shank, will it be successful?"

Zheng Guochang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was a little surprised, grabbed the photo, stared at it several times, and wondered: "This is not like you, so generous?" Or is it ...... Is there a doorway in this picture that I don't see?"

Hu Lifu smiled when he heard this, snatched the photo first, and then said: "If you want to talk about the doorway, of course there is, but it's not on the photo!" He pointed to his head and said, "It's all here!"

Zheng Guochang was even more stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought about it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "Do you want to dig deep into this Li Qian?"

Hu Lifu smiled and said: "What a good buddy!" As he spoke, he said with some emotion: "Since last summer, when Liao Liao first became popular, I began to pay attention to him, but there has been very little information about him, I want to give him an interview, the editor-in-chief does not approve it, I am not afraid of your jokes, this is the first photo of him I got!"

Zheng Guochang nodded subconsciously. But he said suspiciously: "Do you want to write a press release?" or ......?"

Hu Lifu said without hesitation: "Big draft, I want to ask the editor-in-chief for a layout!"

Zheng Guochang was shocked when he heard this, and snatched the photo again in disbelief, staring seriously at the excessively young face on the photo for several seconds. Only then did he say, "He...... What is there to write about?"

Hu Lifu said with a smile: "What is there to write? Five songs praised Liao Liao, and it was directly praised as a queen, an album made Wuxing Wusu popular, and then Huage crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he used Liao Liao's new album to turn the Wuxing Wusu to the ground." Do you think, such a terrible person, such a terrible thing, there is nothing to write about? Even if I make it up, I can make up a whole page for him! What's more, you don't know yet, right? This kid has just entered his freshman year this year, what a big gimmick is this? I don't believe that no one is paying attention!"

Zheng Guochang nodded when he heard this, and after a while, he shook his head again and said, "This person, this thing." Sure, it's awesome, but ...... I think it's okay, if you really write it, no one really likes to read it! I tell you, don't think I'm splashing you with cold water, really, the editor-in-chief may not send it to you! If you want me to say, you might as well write that he is Liao Liao's boyfriend, then someone will love to read it!"

Hu Lifu paused when he heard this, but he still smiled and said, "Try it." I'll try it first, and I'll write it out first. Our registration is called "Artist Weekly", which should focus on artists, and really shouldn't be so old and looking for news ...... a few singers and actors." He shook the photo back in his hand and said, "This is the person we should really pay attention to and report! This is the artist!"

Zheng Guochang sneered and laughed, "Look, you're sick again, right? Let me tell you, if you write this manuscript like this, the editor-in-chief can give you the edition, I don't need you to invite me, I will invite you upside down!"

Hu Lifu laughed a few times when he heard this, as if he didn't know how to respond.

Zheng Guochang smiled again and said: "Do you remember what the editor-in-chief said? What readers love to read is good news, and what can increase sales is good reporting! So, you see, the headlines on the front page of the next issue are set, and Zhou Yan will make a comeback! Are you capable of passing Zhou Yan?"

When Hu Lifu heard this, he fell silent speechlessly.

…………

Sony Records Headquarters, Conference Room 1.

Surrounded by Kazuichi Watanabe, general manager of Sony Records, Xie Mingyuan, music director, and Zou Wenhuai, manager Zou Wenhuai, Zhou Yan walked in from the side door of the conference room, and immediately there was a "click" camera sound in the room.

The flashing lights suddenly lit up.

Today's Zhou Yan, with a white shirt and jeans, is dressed very casually, but she is beautiful.

Before they could sit down on the rostrum, many reporters rushed to ask: "Miss Zhou Yan, why did you suddenly choose to make a comeback?"

"Miss Zhou, why did you choose to sign with Sony Records?"

Zhou Yan walked to the rostrum and sat down expressionlessly, on either side of her, Watanabe Kazuchi and Xie Mingyuan, and Zou Wenhuai grabbed an inconspicuous position next to her.

The host quickly announced the start of the press conference, and then Xie Mingyuan read the press release on behalf of Sony Records, which was nothing more than a compliment to each other, and although it was blowing in a shameless direction. The reporters who are qualified to come to this press conference are almost no pure newcomers, everyone is an old oilman, this kind of thing, I know how to write it.

Of course, insiders can still hear what they are most concerned about, for example, Zhou Yan's agency contract has only been signed for two years, and the record contract is only a 2+2 model, which means that for Zhou Yan's comeback, Sony Records doesn't care how beautiful it is, as if Zhou Yan can be invincible directly in the world as soon as she comes out, but in fact, they are still very cautious- Only sign two albums, and if the follow-up development of Zhou Yan is good, you can have the priority signing right of two records under the same conditions, so that Sony and Zhou Yan are relatively less bundled.

Then, after the announcement was read, without waiting for the host to remind them, the reporters' hands were immediately raised, and they sat on the rostrum and looked at the past.

But at this time, the host had just announced that he had entered the questioning stage, and was about to ask someone to ask questions, but Zhou Yan suddenly picked up the microphone in front of him, and suddenly, the host stopped, and all the reporters, except for many people who clicked to take pictures, most of them also put down their hands one after another, staring at Zhou Yan with blazing eyes, wanting to hear that after four years, they would return to the music scene. What would her first words be.

At this time, Zhou Yan showed a smiling face for the first time and said, "Hi, everyone." Long time no see. ”

Click!

The flashes were connected again.

This is Zhou Yan, even if she announces her retirement from the music scene, she will always be on the front page several times a year, and as soon as she announces her comeback, then she will immediately appear on the entertainment page and dominate all the entertainment pages!

Her voice. Her works and her character are so unique and distinctive, and they have become the most important and topical highlight in the domestic music scene.

But at this time, in the face of so many flashes and so many cameras, she still only smiled shyly and said, "I know that you must want to ask a lot, but I don't really want to answer your questions." So, see you on the next album!"

After finishing speaking, she simply turned off the microphone in front of her.

The scene of the press conference was quiet for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Some people applaud and laugh, but Zhou Yan is still that personality, and she has never bothered to care what the media says.

Someone couldn't help but stand up and ask: If you don't answer the question, is this press conference just an announcement?

Some people simply couldn't help but look disdainful on the spot, and said to the people they knew: Did she still think this was a few years ago? She was still the same as she was a few years ago? She just made a comeback, and she didn't know if she succeeded or not. The shelves are not small!

Zhou Yan has already put away her smile and sat firmly in the chair, without saying a word, if you stare at her carefully for a while. You will find that she has been distracted by this moment of hard work - although the scene of this press conference has become a mess.

The host was embarrassed, picked up the microphone and began to speak, trying to reassure the reporters who came today, but no one paid attention to him. They all stared at Zhou Yan and patted wildly.

Xie Mingyuan smiled helplessly, turned his head and exchanged two opinions with Watanabe Kazuichi, nodded to each other, and then he turned around and touched Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan turned his head to look at him, and asked directly: "It's none of my business, right?"

Xie Mingyuan froze for a moment, then turned on the microphone in front of him and said, "Thank you for coming today, just like my grandmother said, she is a singer, no matter how much she says it, no matter how nice she says, it's useless, so let's see you on the album!"

As soon as the boss opened his mouth like this, the host immediately understood that the press conference was really coming to an end, so he quickly announced the end, and then thanked all the reporters for coming.

There are a lot of people in the audience who are dissatisfied, and they come all the way over, thinking that there is big news, but in fact, of course, it is big news, and the headlines are certain, but the problem is, you just bragging about it from beginning to end, how should we write our manuscript? Besides, you are going to make a comeback, big sister, do you have to accept the next interview?

But at this time, as soon as the host announced the end of the press conference, Zhou Yan immediately got up and stood up, and then walked to the side door without hesitation.

When everyone saw that Zhou Yan really said to leave, and she really didn't plan to say anything, they were all a little dumbfounded. However, even if I only started doing this business in the last few years, if I think about the statements and evaluations of Zhou Yan in the circle, I have to hold back my anger - she is such a person, what can you do with her?

On the other hand, don't look at people who are singers, release albums and the like, it seems that they need to use the power of various media to do publicity, but since their debut, people have never asked the media, and it has always been the media to chase her on the pole to report - you say you don't want to, you can't get used to her? Okay, you can not report it, anyway, some people rush to report!

Just like now, at the so-called press conference, people don't answer a single question, and just leave the next sentence "see you on the album", so are you reporting or not reporting?

Don't even think about it, not only do you have to report it, but you have to make headlines on the front page!

…………

Out of the conference room, Zhou Yan's steps seemed very brisk.

Zou Wenhuai chased after her, with a bitter expression, "I said aunt, your temper is really ...... Now it's all right, and the designation will offend a large piece again!"

Zhou Yan stood down, turned around, smiled, and said, "Find me a room, I want to call, I don't want to be overheard." ”

Zou Wenhuai pouted, yes, there is no need to complain about the rest, anyway, I'm used to helping her deal with these messy things over the years, isn't it?

So, he took Zhou Yan forward, went to the No. 5 lounge, pushed open the door, and said, "In the future, this room will be yours, and you will have no problem sleeping here." After a pause, he didn't wait for Zhou Yan to catch up, so he said: "Reporters, I still have to help you get some trouble, you can call!" After speaking, he closed the door and hurriedly ran back.

When he left, Zhou Yan sat down on the sofa, comfortable, and suddenly felt that everything was smooth.

She pulled out her phone and dialed it.

After about ten seconds, the other end was connected, and it was a slightly younger, but very magnetic voice, "Hey?"

"It's me. She said.

The other party laughed, "I know it's you, why didn't you answer my phone yesterday?" ”

"Well, yesterday...... I can't pick it up. She said.

The other party laughed again, "Then why can you call me again today?"

Zhou Yan also smiled, "It's okay today! I signed a contract with Sony and signed two albums, you know?"

The other party paused and said, "I heard about it, it's good." And then what?"

Zhou Yan smiled, "Then, I feel that everything is right! I can call you." After a pause, without waiting for Li Qian to reply, she said, "Hey, I also know who you are, my agent told me!"

The other side said "um" and said, "Actually, I didn't want to hide it, I just couldn't remember to say it." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, also "um", and said, "There is no need to say." So now...... I'm alright, you can invite me to drink!"

On the other end of the phone, he laughed again, "I'm sorry, you're all back, you're a professional singer, so, quit bars!"

"Oh. ”

Zhou Yan thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, do you also think it's good for me to do this?"

"Well, that's good, I just said it! You don't have to explain anything, I understand what you mean, we're good friends in private, we don't have to have any interests involved and considered, just play our own music, right?"

When Zhou Yan heard this, she smiled sweetly at that time.

…………

As soon as she hung up the phone, she threw it out.

"Yay!"

Like a little girl, she jumped up from the couch and spun around.

"It's good, he's the same as I thought. She thought.

After a moment, she nodded affirmatively, "Well, it's the same. ”
