Chapter 155: A Mother's Vinegar
"Thirty thousand. ”
Xia Houzhi's voice was as pleasantly surprised as his mother.
"So much? just one night? to sing your song?"
Tang Xiaowan still couldn't believe it. She is tired of taking classes in college for a month, and she has to take graduate students and doctoral students, which adds up to less than 20,000 yuan a month!
"That's right, just sing a song, I only have one song now, don't worry, Mom, I'll make more money after I record a few more songs in the future!"
Xiahou Zhi was full of confidence.
"Son, it's a lot. Mom is so proud of you. By the way, you take this money home, does your teacher know?"
Tang Xiaowan suddenly remembered that her son was now a person with an employer, and this money should not be paid to the company, and it would be bad if he took it home.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu has settled the bill with the performance company tonight, and the total performance fee is 70,000 yuan after tax. The 30,000 is my part. The company's commission is no longer here. ”
Xiahou Zhi explained to Tang Xiaowan.
"My mother, there are so many, the entertainment industry is so profitable now?"
Tang Xiaowan's eyes also opened, and there seemed to be a flash of jealousy.
"Look at you, your eyes light up when you see money. ”
Xiahou Qing couldn't even look at it from the sidelines.
"It's not just money, it's a manifestation of my son's ability to make money, and besides, my son can beat you for a month a night now. Son, come on, mom is proud of you, but remember not to work too hard, our family is not short of money, you are still a student, you should study harder, study, you know, when you are stronger, there are more opportunities to make money. ”
Tang Xiaowan woke up from her pride in time.
"Got it, Mom. ”
Xiahou Zhi said obediently to the present.
"Well, tomorrow my mother will help you save it tomorrow and buy a house when you grow up. ”
Tang Xiaowan, like all mothers, plans ahead and thinks long-term.
"No, Mom, this money is the first money I have earned, and I want to give it to you and Dad for a week of travel, as a gift for you to raise me for so many years!"
"Son?"
Tang Xiaowan suddenly felt a wetness welling up in her eyes.
"Okay, Mom, I'm going to sleep, you and Dad should discuss where to travel, remember to have fun?"
Xiahou Zhi went back to the room after speaking, he was tired after a day of running around today.
But at the moment, he felt extremely happy.
He felt like a man at last, who could make money, raise his family, and .........
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, there were several news items in the entertainment section of some websites that the famous male singer Mei Zi'an was beaten up in the backstage of the concert at the Kyoto University Town Gymnasium last night.
Tyumen Hao was one of the perpetrators, and some people who were at the scene at the time also posted photos and short videos.
But there is no picture of Tyumen Hao beating people in the video.
Perhaps because Mei Zi'an is indeed outdated, such a thrilling entertainment news event is only a few news reports the size of French fries, and because of the low attention, it was quickly drowned in the trivial news of countless popular stars.
This is the reality of the entertainment industry.
When you're popular, you're a fart, and everyone follows the trend and smells it.
When you're not popular, no one will look at you even if you're a corpse on the street.
Maggie noticed it too, but her mood was a little heavy, he didn't want to blame Tyumen Hao for his impulsiveness or anything, but she had already figured out how to explain it to someone.
And, what's more, the songs from Maggie's new album are almost finished.
This album will be divided into two versions in Chinese and Cantonese, released simultaneously in the mainland and Hong Kong Island, the songs in these two albums have overlapping parts, such as "Vulnerable Woman", "Red Bean", "Moonlight in the City", etc., the Chinese Cantonese version is only different in lyrics, but the arrangements are the same, but there are also some songs in the Chinese and Cantonese versions are completely different songs, the lyrics are different. For example, Maggie's original theme song in the movie "Kabuki" is included in the Chinese version of the album, while the Cantonese version is not collected.
Maggie's album will be the first attempt in the pop music scene, a groundbreaking innovation, and of course, an extremely courageous decision, not every singer dares to release the same album in Chinese and Cantonese versions, market acceptance is unpredictable, a little careless, may be lost.
This is extremely demanding for songwriters, because as we all know, the songwriting of Chinese Cantonese, especially the creation of lyrics, is almost two different language habits and rules, and even involves some regional appreciation habits.
Fortunately, Cantonese was originally the mother tongue of Qiu Minghao in his previous life, so he has no problem grasping Cantonese, especially for the selection of some classic Cantonese songs, he has a unique vision.
For Maggie's album, whether it is Chinese songs or Cantonese songs, he strives for classics. Although the Chinese songs and Cantonese songs in that world became more and more difficult to develop later, fortunately, there were many Chinese and Cantonese classic songs accumulated in the previous decades.
But Rao is like this, and it is still a lot of work to choose songs that are suitable for Maggie's voice and performance.
“Maggie?”
When Tyumen and Maggie were quietly listening to the songs that had been recorded so far, they suddenly looked up and asked Maggie.
"What's wrong, Minghao?"
Maggie came back to her senses from the song.
"I have one more idea for this album. ”
Tyumenho's eyes were glowing.
"You say. ”
Maggie knew that Tyumeho, who looked like this, would definitely have another genius idea that was about to pop up.
"I want to record two duet songs in this album of yours, one in Chinese and one in Cantonese. What do you think of this idea?"
Tyumen Hao looked at Maggie, in fact, he was a little nervous at the moment.
"Well, it's good, it's just that duet songs are not easy to shine, there are very few good songs, you see that there have not been a few highly sung works in the pop music scene for so many years. ”
Maggie was also very helpless about this.
"Don't worry about this, I've written two duet songs in the past few days, do you want to take a look?"
Tyumenho's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Okay. ”
Maggie has always been extremely confident in Qiu Minghao's move, and at this moment, when he heard that he was ready for everything and only owed Dongfeng, he knew that this matter should be done.
"Well, these are the lyrics of two songs. ”
Tyumen handed Maggie two sheets of A4 paper, densely packed with lyrics and some simple notes.
"Because of Love?"
Maggie asked, looking at the title of the song on the first sheet of paper.
"Well, this is the Chinese version. ”
Tyumen Hao said with a smile.
"I'll look at the song before I tell you. ”
It was a good ten minutes before Maggie looked up.
