Chapter 52: Hidden in the City
They have been together for a while, but Huang Guolun has never asked Bai Yao such questions about the future and life planning.
Huang Guolun suddenly threw this question out, and Bai Yao didn't know how to talk to Huang Guolun, because she hadn't thought about these things seriously and systematically.
Putting down the soy milk cup, Bai Yao thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seriously thought about which university to go to. However, the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Tsinghua University should be my first choice, and the Department of Finance at Peking University is the alternative, and if HKU can provide me with a more attractive scholarship, I will also consider studying at HKU. ”
Huang Guolun secretly sighed when she heard this, Xueba is really a Xueba! Everyone else is taking the exam to a prestigious school with a sharpened head, but she is making a comfortable choice between major famous schools.
With Bai Yao's exam strength, Huang Guolun absolutely believes that it will not be too difficult for Bai Yao to be admitted to these three top universities.
"Are you interested in mathematics?" Huang Guolun asked.
Bai Yaotian smiled lightly and said, "I can't talk about interest, I just think math is easy to learn." ”
These words hit Huang Guolun even more.
I think when he was in school, math was his most difficult subject.
To this day, he still remembers that he only scored 32 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination, and the full score was 150 points.
A child who was with him in the college entrance examination was also very poor in mathematics, claiming that the papers were filled in randomly, but he scored 40 points, 8 points higher than him, which left Huang Guolun with an indelible psychological shadow for eternity.
Now as long as mathematics is mentioned, Huang Guolun will have a headache, and quickly divert the topic and ask Bai Yao: "What do you want to do in the future, have you thought about it?"
Bai Yao unconsciously tapped the desktop with her fingers, as if she was playing the piano, but in fact, she was thinking.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Yao didn't think of what she wanted to do in the future, so she had to smile and tell Huang Guolun: "I really haven't thought about this." Maybe I've been studying and become a professor at a university after a Ph.D., or maybe I'm going to do some investment-related work in the financial industry? Actually, I used to want to be an actuary in a casino. ”
"Huh?" This answer surprised Huang Guolun: "Why do you want to go to the casino?"
"It's not like going to a casino, I want to be an actuary working with numbers in the mainstream spinach groups, and I've heard that this kind of actuary earns very well. I'm not good at anything else, I'm good at working with numbers, and it might be boring, but I think I can do it. ”
Huang Guolun continued to ask: "Do you have a career that you particularly want to do?"
Bai Yao shook her head sincerely: "No, I never thought about these things. Now I just want to study hard and change my destiny with knowledge. I don't have much idea what exactly I want to do in the future. Or I don't pick at all, as long as it is a job that allows me to live a rich life, I will try to do it. ”
Bai Yao has a sentence in her heart that it is difficult to tell Huang Guolun, that is, she will never want her next generation to be from a poor background like her.
She really doesn't care what kind of work she does, as long as she earns a lot of money, is legal, and can give full play to her talents and potential, she will gladly do it.
Huang Guolun nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding what Bai Yao's situation was.
He had already told Bai Yao about the remuneration for this recording before, 10,000 yuan, and Bai Yao's little heart almost didn't jump out when he listened to it!
She didn't expect that she would make so much money by recording songs with Huang Guolun, which was much faster than when she went to a bar to sing before!
Now Huang Guolun asked her what she wanted to do in the future, and Bai Yao probably guessed Huang Guolun's purpose.
took the initiative to talk to Huang Guolun: "Teacher, I am quite interested in learning music and singing with you during this time. Although my voice is a little flawed and my voice is very ugly, I really think it's amazing that I can sing the theme song of the movie after being trained by you. If there is another opportunity to record or sing like this in the future, I hope you can still take me with me. I especially want to learn more from you. ”
Huang Guolun smiled and nodded.
Bai Yao continued very frankly: "I don't have any other hobbies right now. Aside from studying, my favorite thing to do is sing. Usually when I speak, everyone thinks my voice is so ugly, even myself think my voice is so ugly when I speak. But when I sing, whether I was in a bar or later I learned to sing with you, I found that my voice can show a different side and attract others, which makes me feel very fulfilled. If it's a naturally good voice and singing well to attract others, I don't think it's a big deal. But for a rotten voice like me, who has a fever and burns out, singing can attract others, which feels particularly inspiring, hehe, do you know what I mean?"
Huang Guolun smiled and said, "I understand." ”
Bai Yao chatted: "If my voice wants to become a singer in the future, I think I should be very satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment." But that's too unlikely, so I don't want to expect anything. I am content to be an amateur singer with more characteristics, to learn to sing with you all the time, and to receive this kind of paid recording work from time to time. Teacher, thank you for giving me this opportunity this time, if there is such an opportunity in the future, I will definitely work harder, and I will not give up halfway like this time. ”
Huang Guolun shook his hand and let Bai Yao relax: "We are not giving up halfway, we have completed the work relatively successfully." The next time my brother and his company make a movie of this genre and have the opportunity to make your voice appear, I will definitely help you fight for it. ”
"Thank you, teacher, thank you so much!"
Bai Yao was grateful, and remembered to bow deeply to Huang Guolun.
"Don't see me like this, if you really want to say thank you, I have to thank you for always helping me take care of Peaches. This weekend you can finally relax. ”
Because of taking care of Huang Tao, Bai Yao was almost "kidnapped" all her spare time, and she didn't even have to rest on weekends, but this week Huang Tao was picked up, and Bai Yao was finally able to take a good vacation.
On this morning, Huang Guolun took Bai Yao to Kunlun Culture to find Huang Guokun to sign a singing contract for the single and receive the payment.
This is the first time that the people of Kunlun culture have seen Bai Yao, and they initially thought that Bai Yao was a small follower of Huang Guolun.
After knowing that Bai Yao was the singer of "The Beautiful People", all the employees of Kunlun Culture were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that the bursting and hoarse female voice in "The Beautiful People" came from such a simple and beautiful girl with an avant-garde and sharp hairstyle!
The artistic director of Kunlun Culture, Yuan Zhiyu, who is 32 years old with Huang Guokun and is known as "Master Yuan", after seeing Bai Yao's real person, he half-jokingly and half-patted Huang Guolun's sycophants praised Bai Yao's promising future.
also suggested in front of Bai Yao that Huang Guokun hurry up and sign for Bai Yao, if they don't sign, such a potential newcomer will definitely be snatched away by other companies in the future.
However, Huang Guolun did not talk to Huang Guokun about this issue.
Although Bai Yao has an interest and hobby in singing, Huang Guolun feels that Bai Yao has not yet figured out what she wants to do in the future.
A genius like her, whose head has been opened, Huang Guolun doesn't want to rush her into the entertainment industry.
Perhaps she is sensitive to numbers, but she will achieve even more shocking achievements in other fields.
Entering the entertainment industry as a singer is not a very good choice for Bai Yao.
At least for now.
Moreover, Bai Yao's voice has a natural stubborn disease, and her own singing skills are not very good, so if they want to pull out the seedlings for Bai Yao at this time, it is likely to delay Bai Yao.
Just like Bai Yao herself said, Huang Guolun thinks that it is better for Bai Yao to be an amateur singer who regards music as a hobby and hobby, her main mind and energy is still to focus on learning, relying on knowledge to change her fate, this is the right way in her life.
After slowly honing her solid singing skills, and she has a clear plan for her future, let's see if she has the possibility of going in the direction of a professional singer.
It's too early to talk about that.
Although he didn't talk much about Bai Yao in Kunlun Culture, Huang Guolun told Huang Guokun and Yuan Zhiyu about another thing-
A few days ago, Tang Jing's "Fishman Music" contacted Huang Guolun and wanted to buy the copyright of the song "Born Stubborn" from Huang Guolun for the newcomers of their company to sing.
Fishman Music is a long-established record company in the mainland, and they can see Huang Guolun's song "Born Stubborn", which makes Huang Guolun quite surprised.
He himself never thought of making money by selling songs, but after Fishman Music bought the song "Born Stubborn", it would definitely be very beneficial to the promotion of this song and let more people hear this song, so Huang Guolun was willing to sell the song to Fishman Music.
But he didn't want to make music too utilitarian, and he didn't want to get involved in the buying and selling of music, so he needed Kunlun Culture's music planning department to help follow up on this matter.
He will give full authority to Kunlun Culture to act as an agent for the sale of his music copyrights, and if other companies want to buy songs from him in the future, Kunlun Culture will be responsible for the negotiation.
As for what price his works should be sold, and what type of copyright to sell, he didn't want to worry about it himself, so he was fully represented by Kunlun Culture. His only request is to keep the signature of the song, and the rest will be discussed by Kunlun Culture.
Huang Guokun didn't expect Huang Guolun's works to make Fishman Music fall in love, which is really a great surprise for Kunlun culture!
After learning about this, Huang Guokun wanted Huang Guolun to pay more attention to the company, and hurriedly set up the music planning department of Kunlun Culture.
But Huang Guolun has no idea of wading into the entertainment industry at present, he just wants to be a teacher in a down-to-earth manner and raise Huang Tao well.
Some people are naturally in the limelight, especially in the limelight.
There are also some people who are not born to be in the limelight, and they believe in the eternal truth that "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong".
China's current situation is like this, the more you are in the limelight, the more troubles will come with it.
Which super-rich person is willing to become the richest man in China on the Forbes wealth list? Those who are pushed up are forced to occupy this position like pins and needles.
Most of the people who are really powerful prefer to live a life of seclusion in the city.
Only those who are famous and can bring them more wealth and benefits are willing to brave all kinds of risks and troubles to become famous.
Huang Guolun is obviously not this kind of person.
The desireless personality makes him more willing to live a low-key, comfortable, leisurely, and comfortable life.
Maybe one day in the future, he will step into the music world, so that this God-given music wealth on him will be further carried forward, so that more people can enjoy the beauty of these God-given music.
But at this stage, Huang Guolun still prefers to be behind the scenes, to be a good father who is unknown and does not have too many worldly troubles.
At noon that day, Bai Yao, who had received the payment, had to invite Huang Guolun to dinner to thank Huang Guolun for his kindness to her.
Huang Guolun saw that Bai Yao was sincere, so he asked Bai Yao to invite him to have a meal of the old North fried noodles that he had been thinking about for a long time.
During the meal, Huang Guolun and Bai Yao chatted about yellow peaches.
I haven't seen each other for a day, and the two of them are still thinking about yellow peaches.
So Huang Guolun called his mother and wanted to ask if Huang Tao was naughty at home this weekend?
When he called, Mrs. Zhou was having dinner with the guests with Huang Tao.
and Huang Guolun's low-key personality has gone to two poles, Huang Tao is the kind of expressionist who loves to perform in front of people.
In front of a bunch of grandparents, uncles and aunts, Huang Tao is telling a story.
Mrs. Zhou did not interrupt Huang Tao, but put the phone next to Huang Tao and asked Huang Guolun to listen to the story that Huang Tao told everyone.
As soon as Huang Guolun heard that Huang Tao was going to tell a story in front of the guests, he directly "chuckled" in his heart, he was worried that Huang Tao was talking nonsense again.
But this time Huang Tao was okay, he didn't tell the kind of story that was too yellow and violent that even he didn't understand.
Huang Guolun turned on the speaker of his mobile phone, zoomed in on the middle of the table, and listened with Bai Yao.
I listened to the vivid voice of Huang Tao's immature voice on the mobile phone:
"It's a very old legend, a long, long time ago, there was a brother and sister, each with their own special abilities. The elder brother has a pair of clairvoyance, which can see very small things, and the younger sister has a pair of ears, which can hear extremely small sounds. They grew up together, happy together, and sad together.
In their spare time, they would always run to the hills behind them, and the elder brother would look out thousands of miles away and tell his sister about all the strange things there, and the younger sister would listen to the message of the breeze and sing to the elder brother the angelic songs from the distant church......"
Hearing this, Huang Guolun and Bai Yao glanced at each other, and they both felt that the story told by Huang Tao today was unexpectedly beautiful and normal!
Who knows, the style of the story will change immediately:
“…… Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, they fell in love with each other, and although they knew that this love was not allowed, they just couldn't control themselves, and finally they threw off all their constraints and began to enjoy this love desperately.
It's a pity that paper can't contain the fire after all, and the relationship between the two was discovered. Their father was furious, their mother was in tears, and their neighbors pointed fingers at them.
In order to prove their undying love for each other, the elder brother blinded his own eyes, and the younger sister deafed his ears. What are they doing this for? No, just because they think that if they can't get the blessing of everyone, what's the use of having this ability? Anyway, the two of them can't get a happy couple.
After a long, long time, a musician was so moved by this poignant and moving love story that he composed a heartfelt tune with mixed feelings:
Two Tigers / Two Tigers / Run Fast / Run Fast
One without eyes / one without ears
It's weird/it's weird......"
