6. Overnight success

After a day off in the third year of high school, Guo Tao went to the toilet with his shoes on, and after stretching and yawning, he suddenly found that a long-haired man and Xiao Min, the host of the provincial TV station's "Weekly Song", appeared in the courtyard.

Kicking and kicking, Guo Fatzi hurriedly ran over and asked earnestly: "Are you looking for Ah Qin?" ”

"Oh, how do you know?" Xiao Min asked with a smile.

"Of course, I know you, you are the host of "Song of the Week", and now his "Father's Prose Poem" is being sung in the streets and alleys along the riverside, if you don't come again, won't it be out?" Guo Fatzi said proudly: "To tell you the truth, you are not the only one who is staring at him now." ”

"Interesting. The long-haired man smiled and said, "Since you know so clearly, you and Li Xiuqin are classmates, right?"

"Classmates, cut!" Guo Tao proudly puffed up his chest and said, "To tell you the truth, we are small." ”

"So you know him very well?" Xiao Min stepped forward and asked eagerly: "What hobbies does he have? Who is his favorite star? Who did he learn to sing?"

Damn, 100,000 why? Guo Tao still has the most basic politeness to beautiful women, he smiled and said to Xiao Min: "He is very boring, basically has no hobbies, and there is nothing else." By the way, I've never heard him sing. ”

"That's interesting, let's stop standing here, let's go find him. Xiao Min proposed.

Bang Bang Bang, there was no movement in the house, bang bang bang, the long-haired man stepped forward and pushed Guo Tao away and knocked it a few times, but there was still no sound.

"I'm sorry for the two, I guess this kid went to run by the river. Guo Tao spread his hands and said.

"It's a pity......" Xiao Min was a little disappointed.

Out of the No. 2 Mining Community, Xiao Min and the long-haired man passed by a roadside barbecue stall, the stall owner was sweating bare-chested, and several young people kept pouring beer bottles, one of them drank too much and kept humming: "In 1984, the crops have not been harvested......

"Holy. The long-haired man exclaimed: "I didn't expect this song to be so popular." ”

"Yes. Xiao Min gritted his teeth and said, "So you must find this Li Xiuqin today, otherwise you won't be able to go back to Taiwan to explain." ”

The river embankment road, go around the city, the vehicles are like shuttling, the green willows on both sides of the bank are shady, many tall buildings are hidden in the green willow shade, red and green, the scenery is particularly charming. Li Xiuqin wore sportswear and walked briskly on the riverbank for a morning jog.

"Early, I didn't expect such a coincidence. Xiao Fangfang, dressed in a white sports suit, appeared beside him.

"Early. Li Xiuqin smiled toothily and asked, "It's hard to take a day off, why don't you sleep more?"

"There are still two months to go before the college entrance examination, and the pressure is too great to sleep. Xiao Fangfang said.

"Don't worry too much about the college entrance examination, the more you care about some things, the more you ............"

Without waiting for Li Xiuqin to speak, Xiao Fangfang suddenly pointed ahead excitedly and said, "Look, Xiao Min, the host of the TV station, she seems to be greeting us." ”

"Yes, it's her. Li Xiuqin also saw Xiao Min and the long-haired man waving to this side. Huh, why did Pan Shan, the musician who bought the copyright of "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains", also come?

"She won't come to you on a special trip, will she?" Xiao Fangfang asked with a smile.

"Just ask. Li Xiuqin replied indifferently with a smile.

Seeing Li Xiuqin and Xiao Fangfang coming, Pan Shan turned around and said to Xiao Min: "Old classmate, you go to the car first, and the passers-by will recognize you later, and we can't leave if we want to." After speaking, he immediately ran to Li Xiuqin to greet him.

When the three of them met, Pan Shan said hello with a smile, and then pointed at Xiao Fangfang and asked Li Xiuqin: "Brother, this is your girlfriend, right? ”

Two red clouds flew up Xiao Fangfang's cheeks, and Li Xiuqin hurriedly explained: "Brother Pan, don't guess, she's my classmate, by the way, is there something wrong with me?"

"There is something to do, a great good thing. Pan Shan waved his long hair and said mysteriously: "My brother will take you to meet a celebrity today." ”

"It can't be Xiao Min, right?" Xiao Fangfang asked overjoyed.

"Shhh Pan Shan pointed back and said, "Do you see that white Jetta? ”

The Jetta car stopped in front of a tea house, the four of them found a private room, and after they sat down, the waiter gave a pot of Anji white tea and took it to the door.

Pan Shan pointed at Xiao Min at this time, and said to Li Xiuqin and Xiao Fangfang with a smile: "Two, she doesn't need to be introduced, right? ”

Li Xiuqin nodded at Xiao Min, and said unhurriedly: "Hello Host Xiao, my name is Li Xiuqin, an ordinary student of City No. 1 Middle School. ”

"Sister Xiao Min, it's a real pleasure to see me, my name is Xiao Fangfang, and I am also studying in the No. 1 Middle School in the city. ”

"Hello. Xiao Min nodded and said, "Classmate Li Xiuqin, the purpose of my coming today is very simple, I listened to your "Father's Prose Poem" a few days ago and felt very good, so I want to invite you to the "Weekly Song" program. ”

Wow, that's great! If you go on a TV show, you'll become a celebrity in your province, and maybe you'll become an overnight celebrity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiao Fangfang looked at Li Xiuqin happily and said, "Li Xiuqin, you can agree quickly, this is Sister Xiao giving you a chance." ”

"Fangfang, let me think about it. Li Xiuqin lowered his head and was silent, it is good to be a star on TV, but how many days can he eat his youth? His ambition is not in the entertainment industry, but in the emerging industries such as securities, real estate, IT, and the Internet that are about to flourish. Otherwise, let alone wanting to marry a beautiful wife and be filial to your grandfather, I'm afraid you won't even be able to afford a house in Yanjing.

"Brother, brother. Pan Shan's cry pulled Li Xiuqin back to reality.

"I'm sorry, I got distracted. Li Xiuqin smiled apologetically and said to Xiao Min: "I'm sorry Host Xiao, I thought about it seriously, and I still can't participate in the show." ”

"Why? It's an unthinkable opportunity for others, and you have to give it up. Xiao Min asked curiously and puzzled.

"Yes, brother, are you stupid?" Pan Shan was angry.

"There are opportunities to become famous and be a singer, but there is only one college entrance examination, so I decided to deal with this year's college entrance examination quietly and stop doing anything that affects my studies. Li Xiuqin said.

Xiao Min nodded helplessly: "It makes sense for you to say that, I can't find a reason to refute you." After a pause, he sighed and said, "Hey, it's just a pity, such a touching song." ”

"Hehe, if you're because of this, I've got the best of both worlds. Li Xiuqin said.

"Oh, I'm interested, you might as well tell me about it. Xiao Min asked.

"How about finding a singer with better singing skills than me to sing that song on the show instead of me?"

"Well, this may be a solution......" Xiao Min was moved.

Haha, Pan Shan suddenly pointed at Li Xiuqin and said with a smile: "Dude, you are better than a monkey, you actually use a TV station as a favor............"

After saying goodbye to Xiao Min and Pan Shan, Xiao Fangfang turned back and asked Li Xiuqin in confusion: "The college entrance examination is an excuse, right? I can't figure out why you want to give up this opportunity." ”

"There are two reasons for this. Li Xiuqin smiled faintly and said: "First, the copyright of this song already belongs to another person, and second, I can't bear to live up to the heart of a respectable mother who wants her son Jackie Chan." ”

Xiao Fangfang looked at Li Xiuqin in a daze, she hadn't spoken for a long time, and she slowly sent this man more and more mysterious and warm-hearted......

In 1996, the total number of computers in Huaxia was only more than 600,000, with an average of one for every 400 people. Compared with developed countries, the domestic computer penetration rate is still quite low. It is precisely because of this situation that domestic and foreign computer manufacturers are optimistic about China's computer market.

According to the memory of Li Xiuqin's previous life, the maturity period of the computer system is after 1999, and it will be the era of profiteering in the computer hardware industry, and it is too early to enter the IT industry, so it can only be regarded as its future reserve. Of course, if the funds don't get together, you can only unite with Cao Jinchuan or Gao Lan, of course, all this is just a later story.

Just as Li Xiuqin was thinking wildly, the horn outside the door sounded again.

For the sake of this son, Gao Lan really let go, and did not hesitate to put down his body and sit in Mercedes-Benz to pick up Li Xiuqin every day.

Gao Lan found that his son had really changed, he usually didn't even listen to his own words, but now he actually bowed his head to Li Xiuqin and treated him with courtesy, and he obeyed Li Xiuqin's advice wherever his voice was strong, his voice was weak, and his voice should be used. She looked happy in her heart, so she spared no expense to rent the most professional music production studio in the city for her son, although Li Xiuqin has always objected, saying that it is not necessary, but Gao Lan still insists that the money is worth it.

"Brother Li is here. Gao Jian put down his guitar and greeted him warmly.

This kid is too unreliable, he called Li Xiuqin Brother Li when they met for the first time, he was obviously a few years older than himself, he could actually call it. Although Li Xiuqin corrected it several times, this kid was still the same, and since there was no way, Li Xiuqin had no choice but to follow him.

"Well, how was your practice today?" asked Li Xiuqin.

"It's not good, it always feels a little tight, and it doesn't have the narrative sense you said. Gao Jian swept his long hair and said truthfully.

"Hehe, having this feeling means that you have improved. Then, Li Xiuqin pointed to his long hair and said, "Actually, this has something to do with appearance, even I feel a little impatient when I see your long hair." ”

"Oh, I said what's going on?" Gao Jian slapped his head and suddenly realized: "It turned out that it was the one who made the mistake, and I clicked it." With that, he ran out the door.

"Hey, I said, don't push a bald head. Li Xiuqin shouted out the door.

"Okay......"

Looking at this scene, Gao Lan was so happy, his stupid son was too easy to fool. It turned out that she was worried about her son's long hair, and begged Li Xiuqin in the car to let her son cut off his hair, thinking that it was a big deal, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got out of the car, Li Xiuqin would get this matter done in minutes.

Time passed quickly, and at the end of May, Gao Jian received a recording notice from the TV station.

On June 8, 1996, at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, it was time for the audience to broadcast more "Song of the Week".

Pan Shan and several colleagues from other places in the industry had dinner at the food stalls, and when Xiao Min appeared on the TV screen to introduce the songs and singers, one of the colleagues asked: "Strange, how have you heard of this singer from the end?

"Yes, 'Father's Prose Poems?' how dare you play a new song?" said another.

"Hey, hey. The two of them are a little restless, and it is not too late to give their opinions after listening to the song first. Pan Shan blinked and pretended to smile deeply.

Gao Jian appeared on the screen in a white shirt, black trousers, and a guitar on his back, with a thick bookish air on his body.

"Huh? Is this going to be played and sung by yourself? It's kind of interesting. ”

"Well, the singer's outfit is very natural, and it gives people a sense of intimacy. ”……

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Colleagues from other provinces immediately whispered.

Gao Jian was elegantly on the round stool, and the piano accompaniment beside him slowly sounded, "1984,........................ My father was as old as a shadow...... This is the text from my father's diary...... The chords of the prose poem ...... left for me sounded, pushing the song to a climax, and the diners at the food stalls couldn't help but clap their hands and hum along............

The colleagues from other provinces didn't speak for a long time, and finally one of them couldn't hold back and got up and asked Pan Shan: "Pan Zi, your female classmate Xiao Min's vision is really good, I want to get to know this singer and songwriter, can you give me a line? ”

"Dude, don't eat alone, everyone is fair and competent. The others stood up in disagreement.

"Hey, hey. Pan Shan smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the original singer and songwriter were the first to be discovered by buddies, and Xiao Min knew him through buddies." ”

"Great, the original singer and songwriter can't be alone, right?"

"You guessed it. Pan Shan said with a smile.

"This person has too much potential for development, Panzi, you must help everyone introduce you. ”

"Panzi, what's this person's name, and where is he now?"

"Hehe, he's a high school student, his name is Li Xiuqin......" Pan Shan said slowly.

Gao Lan used a whole box of tissues and cried directly into tears, these tears contained touching, gratification, and of course, gratitude to Li Xiuqin in his heart.

At this time, the secretary Xiao Liu hurriedly came in and said to Gao Lan: "Mr. Gao, go and take a look, the phone is about to be blown up, all of them are from major TV stations and record companies to ask Gao Jian to sign a contract or perform commercially." ”

"Oh, have you written them all down? I'll call them back one by one later, you know? Although Gao Jian is on fire now, we can't offend any of these people. After speaking, Gao Lan picked up his bag and walked out, turning back as he walked and instructed: "Xiao Liu, if Gao Jian comes back and asks about me, he will say that I will go to the No. 2 Mining Community." ”

The lights in the small courtyard were on, the door was hidden, and Gao Lan pushed the door, but saw the scene in front of him.

Gao Jian and Li Xiuqin sat across from each other, with a few stacks of brand-new renminbi on the coffee table in the middle.

"Brother Li, you take this money, otherwise I really don't want to go. Brother, I can have today, all thanks to Brother Li's support. Gao Jian was very excited.

"You are wrong, the reason why you can be where you are today, your mother has paid the most, she is the person you should be most grateful for, without her hard work, I would not give you that song......"

Hearing this, Gao Lan quietly retreated, and when she came to the courtyard, she had already burst into tears......

When Gao Jian returned home, he found his mother sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, with a bank card on the coffee table.

"Mom, haven't you slept yet?"

"Well, I'm waiting for you. ”

"Mom, actually, I ............ just now"

"Don't say anything, there are 200,000 in this card, find a suitable machine to give it to Ah Qin. Gao Lan said lightly.

"Wow, two hundred thousand! Gao Jian exclaimed.

"Is it much? I don't think it's much at all. Gao Lan smiled slightly and said: "Ah Qin is kind-hearted, I am very relieved that you and Ah Qin are together, besides, do you want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry with one song? Mom also hopes that he will write more songs for you." ”…………

Vice President Wen suddenly received a notice from the Education Bureau that a reporter from the provincial TV station was coming for an interview.

Principal Zheng Zhilong hurriedly presided over the convening of the school committee and arranged arrangements for the interview.

"Vice President Wen, you are responsible for the school's text report, Director Chang, you are responsible for environmental sanitation, and Director Sun is responsible for organizing the ............ of teachers and students."

At this moment, Officer Ding of the Education Bureau pushed the door and broke in, panting and said, "Principal Zheng, everyone is disturbed, I'm sorry, the situation has changed again." ”

"It's okay Xiao Ding, sit down and talk slowly. Principal Zheng smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"I just received a notice that the reporter has become Xiao Min, and the content of the interview has also changed to promote campus culture. Xiao Ding said.

"Oh, is there any interview on the TV station?" asked Vice President Wen.

"Yes. Xiao Ding took a sip of hot tea and said, "There are three candidates for the preliminary stage, namely Li Xiuqin, Xiao Fangfang and Hao Yuanhong from the first class of the third year of high school. ”

Hao Yuanhong, hehe, it must be the result of Director Hao's efforts to coordinate, Wen Dechao smiled to himself.

"Is Director Hao participating?" asked President Zheng.

"The director said that he was not coming, and the interviewer had his son, so it was inconvenient for him to show up. Ding smiled.

"In this case, this matter will be left to Vice President Wen to deal with, and if there is nothing else to do, then the meeting will be dismissed. Principal Zheng finally made a decision.

This interview opportunity was won by Xiao Min with all his might, "Father's Prose Poems" received a high evaluation in the circle, and his peers were full of curiosity about this mysterious songwriter, so Xiao Min suggested that the station leaders strike while the iron was hot and release another follow-up program, and after the station leaders carefully analyzed the form, they readily agreed.

Cao Xiaoqian has not had a good face for Li Xiuqin these days, she really can't figure it out, Li Xiuqin actually casually gave up the opportunity to be famous to Gao Jian, a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. What's even more incomprehensible is that he didn't take a penny. Gao Jian became famous overnight, which made her a little inexplicably unwilling and jealous, after all, Cao Xiaoqian also loves music very much.

Of course, Li Xiuqin didn't know anything about this, and he still went to school, got out of school, ate and slept normally every day as if nothing happened.
