Chapter Eighty-Seven: Come Back When You've Had Enough

Seven p.m.

Outside the back door of Suncheon Film Academy, there is a street of snacks.

The sky has already darkened, and the word "string" provoked by wooden sticks reflects the whole street.

When he received Xie Mingyuan's call, Li Qian was hiding with a few classmates in the small library next to the pull-out room to play poker, and Sun Yuting was pasted with a note on her head, and she was squeaking in a hurry.

After answering the phone, Li Qian threw the card to flash people, and several people refused to let him at the same time, especially Sun Yuting, who was simply furious and strongly demanded that Li Qian should not be allowed to leave until she came back in retaliation. Seeing that Li Qian insisted on leaving, she asked him why he was going, and heard him say that he was going to the backstreet to meet a friend, so she was silent, but as soon as Li Qian went out on the front foot, before she went far, she muttered to someone, "This guy takes advantage of so many tickets, and he can come to the backstreet for a treat, and he will be killed, and we will slaughter him together another day!"

A group of people were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they applauded loudly.

Before Li Qian had gone far, someone called out to him: "Lao Sun said that he would lead us to slaughter you for a big meal!"

He laughed outside the door, and listened to Sun Yuting scolding there angrily behind him, "You are really fucked, buddy, is this helping everyone, okay? You have to tell the secret in advance, he runs a record company, not a film company, you need to be so slappy! Look at your little bit of urine!"

Everyone laughed.

"My little bit of pee, sister, I'm standing up and peeing!

"Phew, slap you again!"

…………

When he saw Xie Mingyuan from afar, Li Qian greeted him, and the two met, Xie Mingyuan saw Li Qian smiling, so he asked a little curiously: "At this time...... Are you happy?"

Li Qian smiled, waved his hand and said, "No." A group of our classmates pulled a film, it was not good-looking, a few people hid in the small library to play cards, and the game was very cool!"

Xie Mingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

From his own point of view, he obviously didn't think about it. With Li Qian's current identity, coffee position, and wealth, he can find such happiness in such a small thing.

But after a while, I don't know what to remember, and when he followed Li Qian to a small restaurant on the side of the road, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you win money?"

Li Qian smiled, found a clean table and sat down, and at the same time familiarly beckoned the boss to serve a few side dishes first, and waited for him to sit down. Cai said: "If you don't make money, sticker note, haha!"

Xie Mingyuan thought about it when he heard this, nodded, and then sighed silently.

It is said to be a small street shop, but it is really a small street shop, Lao Liu Wonton Dumpling Restaurant, with a small signboard. The things sold are also simple, but there are small stalls on this street. You can call for food on a string, so in fact, you can sit in anyone's house, and here in Lao Liu's house, Li Qian prefers his cleanliness and tidiness.

When the side dishes came up, Li Qian asked, "What do you drink?"

Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard this. Although I have been in France for many years, I was also a bottle and a two-pot head!"

When Li Qian heard this, he immediately shouted at the boss, "Boss, two bottles of Xiaoer!"

"Gotcha!"

While speaking, the proprietress had already brought two bottles of two-to-two pots. Li Qian took it and handed Xie Mingyuan a bottle, both of them unscrewed it, and they didn't eat vegetables, they touched the mouth of the bottle first, and each raised their heads and took a sip.

The wine is very spicy and goes into the throat like fire.

Li Qian is okay, although he doesn't drink much liquor and beer recently, he always has to drink it a few times a month, but Xie Mingyuan has indeed not drunk liquor for a long time, and he is so spicy that he squeezes his eyebrows.

Li Qian hurriedly touched the chopsticks, "Sandwich food!"

Xie Mingyuan took two chopsticks and put down the chopsticks, but he touched the wine bottle by himself, raised his head and took a small sip, swallowed it, and said with emotion: "Comfortable! I haven't drunk this for many years!"

Li Qian smiled and ate a few chopsticks dishes, put down the chopsticks, touched them with him again, and asked, "How is it, are you...... Are you alright?"

Xie Mingyuan smiled, took a sip of the second pot first, and then said, "It doesn't matter if it's good or not." In the past few days, I will deal with the things at hand that can be handled, and explain clearly what I can't handle, and then I will leave. ”

Li Qian nodded, and asked again, "Where are you going?"

When Xie Mingyuan heard this, he glanced up at Li Qian, and then slowly picked up the vegetables.

In his opinion, Li Qian's question should be more or less paving the way for the next sentence: both of them are prominent figures in the music industry, and in terms of the work of music producers, they are among the best in the work, before Li Qian did not make such a big career, he once invited Li Qian to join Sony, and now, the Minghu culture founded by Li Qian is already a predator in the industry, but he resigned from Sony and recovered his free body.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he blocked Li Qian's words, "I'm not going anywhere, when the children are on summer vacation, our grandfather will go out and take them to France, and their mother misses them a lot." ”

Li Qian nodded, and asked again: "Are you going back to France to settle down?"

This time, Xie Mingyuan thought about it for a while before replying: "I'm not sure, but I miss my life in France back then." ”

Li Qian nodded again, then raised the wine bottle, the two touched it again, each took a sip, put down the wine bottle, Li Qian asked while picking up the vegetables: "Sister-in-law is in France, okay? Now that you have regained your freedom, go to France, and just remarry your sister-in-law!"

Xie Mingyuan looked up at him and smiled, "This little thing between the two of us has really spread all over the world!" After speaking, he ate a mouthful of food, put down his chopsticks, and said, "It's late...... She's married. ”

Li Qian was stunned, and after a moment, he said, "I'm sorry." ”

Xie Mingyuan waved his hand, raised the wine bottle, and touched it with Li Qian again, this time he poured it down, so hot that he frowned, put down the wine bottle, he sighed, and said: "That's France, it's different from our country." Our domestic ...... Hey, that's a long way off. ”

Li Qian smiled and said: "I don't know how many times the feminist movement in European and American countries has been carried out, but in our country, at least more than half of the girls recognize polygamy in their hearts." At least more than eighty percent of girls, including countless women with higher education, recognize the concept from the bottom of their hearts. If someone does a survey. I think it is estimated that more than 90% of people, both men and women, will feel that 'divorce' is a shameful thing. ”

Xie Mingyuan smiled, lowered his head slightly depressedly, and stopped talking.

Thereupon. Li Qian raised the wine bottle, and the two touched it again, drinking.

After taking a sip of wine, Xie Mingyuan was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly said: "I lost! And it was cooked cleanly, and I lost the whole Sony!"

Li Qian didn't say a word, just looked up at him.

He said slowly: "I'm a person, I don't have other skills, and I know myself." It's a little bit now. Making music, I am first-class, although I can't compare to you, but in our country, the top five is not a big problem. The grasp of the situation can be regarded as second-rate, at least not like Huang Dazhong's idiot! But in management, personnel, finance, and overall planning. I'm not even third-rate, I've been at Sony all these years. To be honest, it is also barely supported. At the beginning, I always felt that I was going to come back to take the helm, and I was going to use the big platform of Sony to do something. It's been a few years now, and it's been a good thing. I also did a little bit, but in the end, I still couldn't fight and couldn't keep the little belongings left by the older generation......"

Li Qian pursed his lips and didn't speak.

There was a pause. Xie Mingyuan said solemnly to Li Qian: "Watanabe, don't look at the fact that there has been no movement in the circle in the past few years, but he is actually extremely smart. In the future, you will play chess with him, you have to be careful!"

Li Qian smiled, but still didn't speak.

After a moment, he held up the bottle, "Come, drink!"

So they drank.

When there is more wine, there is more talk. Unconsciously, the two chatted more and more, and many topics were pulled in.

But fortunately, neither of them came to buy drunk, so they drank relatively restrainedly, and although they kept drinking, neither of them overdosed, and they always remained sober.

When it came to the details of Sony's internal changes, Li Qian didn't ask, and Xie Mingyuan didn't mention anything.

The topics of conversation between the two are all about Li Qian's life in film school, Xie Mingyuan's children's academic performance, and the production details and interesting facts of Zhou Yan's album.

It's just that what makes Xie Mingyuan a little puzzled is that from the beginning to the end of this meal, Li Qian didn't even say a word to solicit him. Of course, if Li Qian doesn't mention it, he naturally won't take the initiative to mention it.

For an hour, the two of them chatted while eating, each drank a bottle of two or two pots, and drank the third bottle separately, Li Qian asked for two bowls of dumplings, and one person came to a bowl, even if the wine and food were full. As soon as I checked out, it was only forty-eight yuan.

It is estimated that no one will believe it, the two top figures in the dignified pop music world, one is frustrated, the other is treated, the two of them sat together and chatted for an hour, even eating and drinking, and it only cost so much money!

However, one old and one young, wiped their mouths after eating, and were leisurely.

Li Qian settled the account, and the two walked slowly towards the mouth of the alley.

Xie Mingyuan said suddenly: "Watanabe digs Zhen Zhen, and the profit is not big, but you be careful of Li Xinru, that girl will become more and more popular, because her personality and her music style will become more and more in line with the appetite of young people today!"

Li Qian laughed and said, "Capricious, rebellious, self-sufficient." ”

Xie Mingyuan nodded, "Yes." ”

Li Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, I can pick up someone and beat her at any time!"

When Xie Mingyuan heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Qian in surprise.

Li Qian looked at him calmly.

After a moment, Xie Mingyuan shook his head silently and laughed.

"That's right!" he said, "Speaking of which, there is really no one in the country who can compare with you, and I can't! Moreover, it is estimated that you are the only one who has the confidence to dig no one, and you are still not afraid of this kind of big battle!"

Li Qian was noncommittal when he heard this, but just laughed.

Turning his head and seeing a commissary at the mouth of the alley, Xie Mingyuan patted his pocket, and then asked Li Qian, "Do you have any money?" ”

Li Qian touched his pocket, he didn't bring a wallet, but he had a hundred yuan of change, so he handed it to Xie Mingyuan, Xie Mingyuan took it, walked into the commissary, and after a while, he actually bought a pack of cigarettes and a cheap lighter.

Returning the rest of the money to Li Qian, he tore open the package and took out one, lit it with a lighter, took a deep puff, turned his head to look at Li Qian, handed over the cigarette in his hand, and asked, "Get one?"

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand to pull out one.

Xie Mingyuan took a lighter and lit it for him, and the two of them stood on the side of the road at the mouth of the alley. While watching the passing cars and the neon lights in the distance, I smoked slowly.

Xie Mingyuan took a puff of cigarette, spit it out, and said: "Cigarettes and alcohol are the natural enemies of music! Especially the natural enemies of singers! But the top musicians, especially the creators." But there are many of them who don't drink and don't like it, and they smoke even more!"

Li Qian also took a sip, nodded, and said, "Yes!"

After a while, Xie Mingyuan said again: "Qi Jie is a talent, you have taken the right step in Southeast Asia, spend one to two years and come up with some money." If you do a good job in the layout of Southeast Asia, you will have a stable rear, and you will have more confidence when you fight with Sony in the future. ”

Li Qian nodded, "Southeast Asia...... It's not enough. ”

Xie Mingyuan sighed when he heard this, "It would be nice if we could bring our Chinese music into Japan." After a pause, he added, "If you can break into Europe and the United States...... Even if it's a niche market, it's good. The market in Europe and the United States is so big. If you sell a little, that's a few million copies!"

Li Qian nodded again. said: "I'm afraid that before we can go out, people will come in." ”

Xie Mingyuan turned his head and glanced at Li Qian deeply, did not speak, turned around, and smoked calmly.

After a while, he said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Watanabe's thoughts. You will definitely be able to see through this move on the Japanese side. He sighed and said, "Yes, I'm afraid that our side is still fighting among themselves, and people are already surging!"

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Li Qian. Smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "However, I don't have anything to do here, and then, it's up to you!

Li Qian smiled and turned his head to look at him, "If you lose, you're going to be an immortal?"

Xie Mingyuan's eyes narrowed, and after a while, he said, "You can't throw it away...... Hehe, let's do it for now!"

As he spoke, he finished smoking a cigarette, he threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it, and said, "Let's go!"

Li Qian nodded, "Have fun!"

…………

When Li Qian returned home, Qi Jie was also there, sitting on the sofa and chatting with Liao Liao for some reason.

Hearing the knock on the door, Liao Liao stood up and greeted him, seeing that Li Qian was conscious and didn't seem to have drunk too much, he was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "Why is it over so soon?" I thought you two would have to talk until midnight!"

Li Qian smiled, "No, it's very simple for the two of us to talk, and because of this, there is not much to say." ”

Liao Liao pursed his lips when he heard this, and while picking up Li Qian's shoes and putting them in the shoe cabinet, he said, "Is this praising yourself for being smart?"

Li Qian smiled, turned his head and asked Qi Jie, "Why are you over so soon?"

Qi Jie was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and when she saw Li Qian coming over and sitting down, she naturally lifted the kettle, tested the temperature with her hand, poured a glass of warm boiled water for Li Qian, and then said: "What's the point of seeing that people are proud of the spring breeze! Of course I came back after taking a look, but I left Meimei behind." ”

Li Qian nodded, picked up the cup and drank water.

At this time, Liao Liao put down his shoes and walked over, and said, "I heard Xiaojie say that Sony's cocktail party was very big this time, and many people from government departments came. In the record companies of Suncheonfu, most of them sent heavyweights to the scene, which was very face-saving. ”

Qi Jie responded: "Sony's battle is so big, of course everyone is afraid!"

"Battle?" Li Qian turned his head to look at Qi Jie, and said slowly: "I think that Sony's real big battle hasn't been put out yet!"

As soon as he said this, Liao Liao and Qi Jie both looked at him in surprise, and Liao Liao first asked, "What else can they dig again?"

Li Qian bowed his head for a moment, and said slowly: "Digging people, just to knock out part of the domestic resistance ability first, in the final analysis, Sony is a global large enterprise, in their eyes, they will not only stare at these few people in China, if I am not mistaken, what they want should be the domestic market." ”

Liao Liao frowned when he heard this, slightly puzzled. Qi Jie seemed to suddenly remember something, and nodded slowly.

But at this time, Li Qian had already stood up and said, "Don't talk about it, I still have something big to do!" After that, he took out his mobile phone and began to look for the number, and while looking for it, he walked to the piano room next to him.

Qi Jie asked behind him, "Did you ask Xie Mingyuan?" Would he like to come over?"

Li Qian waved his hand, "I didn't ask." The time is right, I'll ask, but not now. It's useless to ask now!"

As he spoke, he had already entered the piano room and closed the door.

Qi Jie leaned over and asked Liao Liao in a low voice, "Who did he call?

Liao Liao pursed his lips and turned his head to glance at Qi Jie.

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, and then understood in seconds.

…………

"Where are you?"

"Ying Tianfu. In the hotel. ”

"When is the propaganda going to end? It's been more than two weeks. ”

"I didn't advertise it, I went to Yuhuatai today, went shopping in the afternoon, and bought you a pair of shoes. ”

Li Qian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who gave you the idea?" Brother Zou?"

Zhou Yan said: "No, we didn't know that this would happen, when I first arranged the publicity trip, I told Lao Zou that it was okay, arrange a little less, and when the time is free, I want to go around and have fun." ”

Li Qian said "um", and then said, "Brother Zou called Qi Jie and told you about Sony and Xinda giving you an offer, what do you think?"

After a while, Zhou Yan didn't answer and asked, "Then what do you think?"

There was a moment of silence on both sides.

Then Zhou Yan suddenly spoke, but asked, "Why don't you dig me?"

Li Qian was stunned, "Why should I dig you? You were originally my person!"

"Then I'll go to Sony, and you won't stop me?"

"You're playful, and you're so petty, so you should go there to play for two years!"

Zhou Yan sighed and said solemnly: "You want to dig me!"

Li Qian shook his head, "I won't dig you!"

After a pause, he said, "If you haven't played enough, keep playing, and come back when you've had enough." I don't force you!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Then, Zhou Yan spoke again, her voice low.

She said, "Oh, I see. ”
