14. Resonance and Past Lives
In the living room of the Sheraton Xijing Hotel, Xiao Min finally met her idol - superstar Qi Qin, as a host who has been in the industry for many years, she suppressed her inner excitement and interviewed Qi Qin in an orderly manner according to the arrangement of the director.
"Mr. Qi Qin, first of all, welcome to Xijing for a concert, and I wish you a successful performance. Can you talk about your first time in Xijing?"
"Thank you, Host Xiao, Xijing, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has left a deep impression both in urban construction and in terms of humanities. I am particularly interested in the complete combination of traditional and modern culture in Xijing, in a word, Xijing City is really outstanding. ”
"Thank you, that's a pretty high rating. Xiao Min held the microphone and asked, "May I ask if there are any special people or things that have left a deep impression on you during your time in Xijing?"
That's a good question. Qi Qin lay back, leaned back on the sofa and said slowly: "I only chose Xijing as the first stop of my continent-wide tour, completely because of two songs. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Min asked curiously, "Can you tell me which two songs?"
"If the Cloud Knows" and "Matchheaven Heaven" ............"
Xiao Min felt a sense of bosom friend when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Qi Qin, I personally like these two songs too." And I am very familiar with Gao Jian, the original singer of these two songs. ”
"Oh, that's great. Qi Qin smiled and said: "I have watched the program of your station, and the original singer Gao Jian is really good, but I am more interested in the songwriter Mr. Li Xiuqin." ”
"Mr. Li Xiuqin!" Xiao Min smiled dumbly: "Do you know? This Mr. Li Xiuqin in your mouth is just an 18-year-old high school graduate. ”
"Really? Qi Qin was obviously taken aback and said: "I didn't expect a young man who was only 18 years old to write such a sentimental and heart-warming work." ”
"Yes, when I first met Li Xiuqin, I had the same doubts............"
In front of the TV screen, Gao Lan and Cao Jinchuan glanced at each other and smiled bitterly. But Cao Xiaoqian, who was on the side, quit and shouted: "Xiao Min is too much, where is this celebrity interview, it is about to become Li Xiuqin's personal press conference." ”
"That's right. Gao Jian, who was knocking melon seeds on the coffee table, also complained: "Xiao Min is too partial, and she only mentioned one sentence of my original singer, and the whole show talked about Ah Qin." ”
Cao Jinchuan ignored the two young men, turned his head and asked Gao Lan with a smile: "How about Mr. Gao, hasn't Ah Qin agreed to be a guest singer?"
"No, but I didn't say no. Gao Lan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "He has always said that he is still a student, saying that it is not suitable to enter the entertainment industry too early, and he is worried that it will affect his future studies." ”
"Yes, what Ah Qin said also makes some sense. Cao Jinchuan lit a cigarette and said slowly: "I can't understand him now." ”
"Don't, big brother. Hearing this, Cao Xiaoqian hurriedly grabbed her brother's right arm and said coquettishly: "You can't sit idly by and ignore this, everyone knows that Ah Qin listens to you the most, as long as you are willing to come forward, you will definitely be able to help Gao Jian." ”
"Help Gao Jian, don't think I can't see through your little thoughts. Cao Jinchuan smiled and tapped her forehead and said, "It's for your own ticket, right?" ”………………
Xiao Fangfang was pleasantly surprised to find that her father was not as strict with her as before, and when she was about to ride to the No. 2 Mine Community, Xiao Dingfang just told her to "go early and return early", and then buried her head in reading the newspaper again.
When she rode to the gate of the No. 2 Mining Community, she was stopped by the porter Zhang Damiang with a smile: "Girl, are you looking for Ah Qin again? He went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet." ”
Li Xiuqin sat on the stone bench on the embankment alone, what happened during this time was too complicated and sudden, he couldn't digest it for a while, and he needed to be quiet alone......
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary teacher in Xijing City, and his wife Huang Juan worked in a supermarket. One does not have a strong family foundation, two does not have relatives who are officials, the two usually save money, the biggest wish is to buy a house in the prosperous area of Weiyang Road, here is close to the subway, there are the best schools and hospitals nearby, as long as you live here, the children and the elderly at home will have security, but the ideal is very plump reality is very skinny, when the two of them worked hard to save enough down payment, rushed to the sales department, but were told that the house price doubled, and the money in their hands was still not enough for the down payment. Dare to love has been done in vain in the past few years.
Li Xiuqin was mentally prepared and ready to meet his wife's stormy spiritual baptism. However, Huang Juan was unexpectedly calm, and when she walked out of the door of the sales department, she said to Li Xiuqin with a smile: "You have worked hard in the past few years, I usually pick you too tightly, and you don't have a few pocket money in your pocket, but I suddenly understood a truth today, money is not earned by saving, but by ability." Let's go to Shangri-La today to taste Western food. ”
"It's worth thousands of dollars for a meal there, and we can't live this day?" Li Xiuqin was startled.
"yes, but that's it!" Huang Juan let out a long sullen breath.
During the whole meal, Huang Juan didn't say a word, just tasted the delicacies and red wine very carefully, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly surged into Li Xiuqin's heart.
Out of Shangri-La, Huang Juan calmly said to Li Xiuqin: "Ah Qin, break up, if we continue like this, we will both go crazy sooner or later......"
Li Xiuqin didn't say a word of retention, because he understood that Huang Juan was right.
That night, Li Xiuqin was drunk and unconscious at the food stall. Finally, he was sent to the emergency center of the Provincial People's Hospital......
Smack, Li Xiuqin slapped himself hard, and muttered and scolded: "Li Xiuqin, you are really fucking useless." ”
"What are you doing, are you crazy?" Xiao Fangfang suddenly grabbed his hand from behind.
A tear slipped out of his eyes, and Li Xiuqin suddenly had an urge to hug her in his arms when he faced Xiao Fangfang's concerned eyes.
"Ahem. Li Xiuqin coughed embarrassedly twice, and said with a smile: "Ignore me, I was nervous just now, Fangfang, can you have a glass of wine with me? I suddenly want to drink two glasses today." ”
"Okay, I'll be with you today. Xiao Fangfang nodded heavily.
Xiao Min and Fang Taohong (Qi Qin's economist) drove a white Peugeot towards the riverside.
In the car, Xiao Min dialed Guo Tao's mobile phone: "Hey, Guo Tao, hello, I'm Xiao Min, is Ah Qin at home?"
"Hello Sister Xiao, Ah Qin went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. ”
"Oh, well, I know where to find him, hang up, bye-bye. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Min said to the driver: "Master, go directly to the food stall by the Second Ring Bridge." ”
When the car arrived at the second ring bridge, Xiao Min quickly entered the food stall and found that Li Xiuqin was not inside, and asked the boss, and the boss also said that he had not come for several days, Xiao Min was suddenly a little anxious.
How did Ah Qin do it, when the chain fell at a critical time, Xiao Min turned around and smiled apologetically at Fang Taohong, and said, "Sister Fang, don't worry, let's go to the embankment and take a look." ”
"It doesn't matter, if you come, you will be safe, but I want to meet this Mr. Li Xiuqin more and more. Fang Taohong smiled.
On the riverside embankment, Li Xiuqin sang affectionately to the beer bottle: "What makes me shed tears, not only last night's wine, but also your tenderness, how long will I go, you hold my hand, what makes me feel embarrassed is the freedom of struggle, they are always in September, memories are the sorrow of missing, the weeping willows of late autumn are green, kissing my forehead, in that rainy town, I have never forgotten you............"
Zhao Lei's "Chengdu" created in 2014 resonated with many fans as soon as it came out. When he created the song "Chengdu", Zhao Lei wanted to express his record and nostalgia for the city of Chengdu and his first girlfriend.
It is unbelievable that an 18-year-old high school graduate can have such rich and delicate feelings, and a few seemingly casual strokes portray the rainy town and the inseparable emotions vividly, directly impacting the most sensitive places in people's hearts.
Tears of joy and emotion swirled in Xiao Fangfang's eyes, Fang Taohong couldn't control it anymore, and couldn't help but applaud softly, she hadn't heard such a picture-sensitive, fresh and refined masterpiece for a long time.
Li Xiuqin looked back at Xiao Min, and immediately smiled sincerely: "Sister Xiao, you are here." ”
"It's so hard to find you. Xiao Min spread his hands and said, "Let me introduce you, Sister Fang Taohong, Qi Qin's performance economist." ”
"Disrespectful, disrespectful. Li Xiuqin stretched out his right hand and said, "Welcome Sister Fang to Binhe." ”
Xiao Fangfang was shocked again, the economist of today's best singer actually drove dozens of miles to visit a little-known high school student, even in the novel, there will be no such plot.
"Hello. Fang Taohong held Li Xiuqin's right hand and said: "Mr. Li Xiuqin, you surprised me very much, I have to say that you are the author of the most changeable genre I have ever seen since I started my career, but every song can be deeply moving, if you don't mind, I want to talk to you about signing a contract." ”
A strong woman, she is really a person who knows the goods, and in a song ten years later, she can see the potential in it, and she is really a master. However, with the rapid development of the Internet in the future, the existing record and cD hair industry will gradually decline, and the living space of singers will gradually tilt towards commercial performances and advertising endorsements, which will be presented in the near five or six years.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Li Xiuqin touched his nose and said, "I don't have much interest in these record companies at the moment, I prefer to promote my works through the Internet." ”
"So, do you think the Internet will replace the current record distribution model?" asked Fang Taohong with a smile.
"Hehe, Sister Fang, it will not replace but will definitely replace the current business model of record companies, and the distribution model of songs will be networked and digitized in the future, and the traditional record industry will definitely experience severe pains. Li Xiuqin said confidently.
Fang Tao's red hand shook, the problem she had been entangled for a long time was finally broken by the young man in front of her, and it was so direct and ruthless, although she couldn't accept it emotionally for a while, but her intuition told her that everything Li Xiuqin said today was correct.
