Chapter 63: The Ugly Duckling
This year's Christmas is only two words for Jiangcheng people, Jiangli.
Because Jiang Li explained that the "knot" was a knot of concentric knots before singing "Christmas Knot", I don't know who was the first to propose it, anyway, Jiangcheng's concentric knot was sold out overnight, and some people went to other places to buy it for this purpose.
Concentric knot is a traditional Chinese handicraft, an ancient and meaningful knot, because of its two knots connected characteristics, often used as a symbol of aiqing, take the meaning of "eternal knot concentric", which is a great blessing for couples who spend Christmas together, but no one paid attention to Christmas in the past, but this time it has changed because of Jiang Li's person, Jiang Li's "Christmas Knot" has given the concentric knot an unusual meaning.
With the passage of time, Jiangli became more and more famous, and this saying gradually spread, from Jiangcheng to Suzhou Province, and then to Huaxia, Asia and even shijie, zuihou has become a recognized custom of Christmas, and is accepted by all shijie people who celebrate Christmas.
On Christmas Day, the media around the country have reported Jiang Li's new song "Christmas Knot", but the focus is different, outside Su Province focuses on the song itself, Su Province focuses on Jiang Li's live singing, Jiangcheng media is more specific, and reports in detail on the grand occasion of Jiangcheng that night.
When other media uniformly said that the grand occasion was unprecedented, Jiang Li moved the whole city, a newspaper called "Silent Night Thoughts" in Jiangcheng found a different way, with a unique vision, and threw out three major news.
First of all, according to the situation that the concentric knot was sold out overnight in Jiangcheng, it is predicted that there may be a large market for the concentric knot in the future Christmas.
Secondly, through the in-depth analysis of the video footage, it was concluded that Jiang Li was singing by the seaside, because part of the MV of the record "Don't Talk" happened to be filmed at the beach, and the newspaper further boldly speculated that this time it may be nearby.
zuihou, the newspaper also pointed out an important fact, the landmark of Jiangcheng - Lianhua Commercial Building did not broadcast Jiang Li's live performance on Christmas Eve, not because he didn't want to, but because he had a gap with Jiang Li and was excluded!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, zuihou a news especially caused a strong reaction, what Li Jian was worried about really happened, someone found out about this, and dared to report it!
What made Li Jian hate the most was that the other party was just a little-known local newspaper in Jiangcheng, so he dared to point fingers at him, which made him feel teased.
At this moment, there was another bad news from the Asuka side, Jiang Li refused the invitation to meet in private, and if necessary, he could negotiate with Yue Yanming, the deputy general manager of Asuka, in person.
Li Jian was so angry that he was so angry that he was on a par with the vice president of a record company with assets of nearly 100 million yuan, and it was a shame for him to be compared with the vice president of a record company with assets of 50 million yuan.
Li Jian decided to put aside the idea of talking with Jiang Li, and instead sought other solutions, such as putting pressure on "Silent Night Thoughts", letting the other party slap himself in the face, overturning the previous conclusions, and if the other party did not listen, he would retaliate until it went out of business!
At this time, Song Jingsi, the editor-in-chief, founder, and main writer of "Silent Night Thoughts", was squatting on the boss's chair in a rented office, squinting a pair of wealthy eyes, holding a pen, counting a lot of banknotes, laughing happily, and from time to time touching a beautiful poster on the table with his hand, with a satisfied lewd look on his face, and suddenly said to himself thoughtfully: "How much does it cost to support this Liu Yachang?"
The door was pushed open suddenly, and a fat man came in angrily and said, "Boss, there is a phone, and I am looking for you by name." ”
"Oh, here we are. Song Jingsi jumped out of the chair, got out with agility like an ape, took the phone, straightened her collar, corrected her attitude, and said solemnly, "Hello, this is the editorial department of "Silent Night Thoughts", I am the editor-in-chief Song Jingsi, what is the matter with me?"
"Hello, Mr. Song, I am Ye Chen, assistant to the general manager of Flying Bird Records, our chairman read your newspaper and thought it was very interesting, I hope to meet you, I don't know if you are willing?"
Song Jingsi was stunned for a long time, he heard it right, it turned out to be a call from Flying Bird, and said that the chairman wanted to meet him, who was the chairman? Isn't it the famous Jiang Li! By the way, what kind of assistant is Ye Chen, is it that Ye Chen?
"You...... Hello, Assistant Ye Chen, I'm ...... But can you tell me......" Song Jingsi swallowed with difficulty and whispered, "Are you the Ye Chen who sang "Summer Blown by the Wind" with Jiang Li?"
Ye Chen pondered for a long time and let out a "hmm".
After a while, Song Jingsi put down the phone, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hugged the fat man who was packing things up next to her, and shouted like a pig: "We have developed our hair!"
"Boss, don't be developed, I'm leaving soon, you can pay off the salary you owe me for a month. ”
Song Jingsi's mouth opened wide, and he said incredulously: "Fatty, you also want to resign? When the career of the editorial department is booming? No, don't you know that tens of thousands of newspapers have been sold so far today? The situation is very good, and the phone call just now is ......?"
"Boss! Don't daydream, this achievement is not enough to see, and besides, what is the future of you writing articles in the newspaper by yourself, all the errand work is still handed over to me alone, I can't do it, I don't want too much money in the face of our love for a few months, just a few thousand yuan in your hand." ”
The fat man snatched the banknote in Song Jingsi's hand, pushed open the dilapidated and narrow door of the editorial office, and walked away.
Then, a fierce figure appeared at the door, opening his mouth and roaring, the sound was like a broken gong.
"Hey, hey, isn't this the editor-in-chief of Song? Why did you fall to the ground? Listen! The old lady warns you, if you don't pay the rent tonight, you will get out of here! This is an ultimatum from Zuihou!"
Song Jingsi was speechless, watching the other party gradually walk out of sight, and sighed.
"It's still my Ah Chang, this yellow-faced woman who has reached menopause, full of fat, and there is no place for reverie at all!
Jiang Li is indeed quite interested in this Song Jingsi, because the article written by the other party in the name of the editor-in-chief is very bright, the first news does not matter whether it will come true or not, but the latter two are undoubtedly facts, which are enough to show the other party's vision.
The two met in the box of the Hongyun Hotel, Ye Chen accompanied them, Song Jingsi restrained her usual obscene appearance, did not squint, and talked to Jiang Li seriously, but kept swallowing saliva and inhaling through her nose, until her stomach couldn't help but growl in protest.
"I'm hungry, how can I forget to eat just by talking, come, let's eat together." Jiang Li said with a smile.
Song Jingsi smiled, a little embarrassed, and immediately buried herself in gobbling it up, she really hadn't eaten a good meal in a few months, and the workload was so heavy that she couldn't bear it.
Jiang Li saw that the other party liked to eat boiled fish very much, so he ordered Ye Chen to order another one, and the breath of his breath blew on her delicate ears, making her heart pound, and she hurriedly ran away.
After this meeting, Jiang Li decided to invest 100,000 yuan to buy the newspaper "Silent Night Thoughts", he appreciated Song Jingsi's unique vision of analyzing the situation, which may be useful in the future.
Song Jingsi was ecstatic, and had already begun to fantasize about the scene of smashing that stinky woman with money and then the other party was stunned, and when she left, she secretly glanced at Ye Chen, and muttered to herself: "Beauty is beautiful, but I still prefer mature and sexy, just like Ah Chang." ”
Looking at the background of Song Jingsi's departure, Ye Chen, who was aware of the other party's previous eyes, said to Jiang Li: "I think...... Is he ...... Not very reliable?"
"Oh, yes? I think it's okay. Although he was very hungry, he held back and did not say anything, it was perseverance, when he explained to me the situation of the newspaper "Silent Night Thoughts", he did not hide the terrible situation of the present day, it was honest, it was tenacious to be able to stand up for so long under such circumstances, and although he looked at you a little obscenely, he knew the sense of proportion, and it was understandable. In fact, I am just on a whim, it doesn't matter whether I succeed or not, whether there is follow-up investment or not, it all depends on his performance. ”
After this episode, Jiang Li's life is back on track, going to school, and in addition, writing a fairy tale, "The Ugly Duckling", if you don't write Su Musha, you will come to Jiangcheng to urge the draft in person.
The story of "The Ugly Duckling" is very simple, it tells the story of an ugly duckling who has gone through a lot of hardships and many trials and turns into a white swan.
As long as you don't give up on your dreams and trample on your feet setbacks and difficulties, you have a chance to succeed, no matter how poor you once was.
This story tells people that it takes perseverance to achieve their dreams, that everyone has hope to succeed, and that people should not despise everyone who is not remarkable now, maybe one day, he will soar into the sky and become a white swan.
This famous fairy tale was written by Hans Christian Andersen, in fact, it is a true portrayal of the other party, Andersen was tormented by poverty since childhood, successively worked as an apprentice in several shops, had no formal education, and later became a small supporting role in the theater, but was fired because of a voice problem, and began to write, but the script he wrote was completely unsuitable for the performance and was not adopted by the theater.
But Andersen didn't give up and continued to study writing until he was funded by a theater director, and he was on the road to success.
In fact, today's Song Jingsi is just like Hans Christian Andersen at that time, an ugly duckling, although he appeared a little at Christmas, it is still not enough to see at all, it can arouse Jiang Li's interest, and it is also a purely accidental opportunity, Jiang Li funded Song Jingsi like the theater director who funded Hans Christian Andersen, so whether Song Jingsi can become the next white swan depends mainly on himself.
Song Jingsi, the ugly duckling, will she become a white swan?
