Chapter 031: One Wrong Move [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
Xu Jian saw that Zhou Hongwen was coming, so he said some epilogue words on the live broadcast platform, and introduced Jiang Xia and the comic "Your Name" again, and then closed the live broadcast room.
"I haven't heard enough of it, Brother Jian, you are soft, it's only been a few minutes, and you're going to turn off the live broadcast."
"Bored, I'll go see "Your Name". Jiang Xia's singing is very good, I don't know how the comics he drew are. ”
"I'm going to take a look, I like this Jiangxia a lot, if the comic is good, I'll give him a reward of 500 yuan."
There are a lot of local tyrants in Xu Jian's live broadcast room, and many people are happy, and it is not uncommon to throw hundreds or thousands of them out.
turned off the live broadcast, Xu Jian didn't give Zhou Hongwen a good look and said: "I'm just here now, I think if Jiang Xia doesn't perform a little more exciting, you really want to give him up, right?" ”
"What's the matter, by the way, are you still hungry, or I will invite you to eat out again?" Zhou Hongwen lowered his posture, and a pandering smile appeared on his face.
"Eat a fart meal and hang the two of us in the Lihe Hotel, do you know how ugly Jiang Xia's face is? And we just finished eating, and now we are still eating, you treat us as pigs! ”
Xu Jian's original intention was not to embarrass Zhou Hongwen, but to dispel the embarrassment of Jiang Xia and Zhou Hongwen meeting in this way, and at the same time try to dispel the resentment in Jiang Xia's heart.
Zhou Hongwen said: "Okay, my fault, but I really didn't make excuses, there was really something, so I could take the time to come over at this time." Well, since you've all eaten, why don't we find a casual place to sit and talk slowly? ”
Xu Jian accepted it when he saw it, and began to give Zhou Hongwen the steps down the stairs and said, "Brother Jiang, what do you mean?" If you don't want to, I'll let this guy fuck off now! ”
After speaking, Xu Jian was about to pull Zhou Hongwen out.
Jiang Xia said at this time: "Okay, yes, no problem." ”
"Well, let's go, then." Zhou Hongwen's hanging heart was finally able to let go.
"Let's go to the café at minus 90 degrees, that's where Jiang Xia and I met, and the environment there is very good, there is a beautiful girl in the café, and she plays the piano very well." Xu Jian proposed.
"Then listen to you." Zhou Hongwen smiled, then patted Jiang Xia's shoulder lightly with his hand, and apologized again: "Please don't be surprised by what happened before." Your talent, I've seen it, the lonely sandbar is cold, and the song just now......"
"Rice Fragrance." Jiangxia Road.
"Well, I love both of them, and you really prove that you're a talented musician." Zhou Hongwen nudged Jiang Xia, and then the three of them came to the café at minus 90 degrees.
"And a song called "Those Flowers"?" On the way, Zhou Hongwen heard that there was another song in Jiangxia, and after he didn't hear it, he suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart.
Cafe minus 90 degrees.
Qiao Chuhan, the girl in white last time, is still playing the piano in the café today. It's just that unlike last time, Qiao Chuhan's performance this time has been invested a lot, and the expression on his face is no longer so wooden, and it is full of youthful confidence.
"Yes, this little girl has improved, and she doesn't seem to hate playing the piano so much." Xu Jian commented.
"What do you need?"
When the three of them were seated, the waiter came over and asked.
Zhou Hongwen pushed the menu to Jiang Xia and asked Jiang Xia to order first. After Jiang Xia ordered Java Mocha and Xu Jian ordered a snowmelt latte, he ordered himself a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain (the most expensive).
Xu Jian disagreed, feeling that Zhou Hongwen was simply infected with literary and artistic diseases, and he was gone forever on the road of pursuing style.
After sitting down, Zhou Hongwen waited for the coffee to come up before he began to gradually get to the point.
The hot coffee in the cup emitted a faint white mist, Zhou Hongwen gently stirred it in the cup with a spoon, and after taking a slight sip, he began to say: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that in addition to your outstanding musical talent, you are still a cartoonist?" ”
"Well, new manga is being serialized right now." Jiang Xia said truthfully.
After listening to Jiang Xia's answer, Zhou Hongwen nodded quietly, and then pretended to ask casually: "Then between music and comics, which profession would you prefer to pursue?" ”
"You know, when a celebrity looks idle on the surface, but in fact he has to participate in a lot of activities every day, how do you arrange this?" Zhou Hongwen asked.
"My drawing speed is very fast, and it is not difficult to complete a story in a week by taking half an hour to an hour every day."
"So, if you become an artist in our company, you're going to continue drawing comics?"
"If you have time, you can do it as a hobby. My new comic is a short comic and it was done very quickly. When I'm done, I can think of comics as a hobby, not a job. ”
"I see." Zhou Hongwen nodded and smiled, and continued to take a sip of coffee. When the strong coffee melted in his mouth, his face also showed a little enjoyment.
"Uncle Jiang!" After the piano on the stage was played, the girl on the stage waved vigorously towards Jiang Xia. Probably for fear of disturbing the surrounding guests, she called out in a very soft voice, probably only she could hear clearly.
"It's the girl from last time." Xu Jian noticed Qiao Chuhan, and then gently touched Jiang Xia's arm with his hand.
Zhou Hongwen said: "Mr. Jiang, I really want to hear the previous "Those Flowers", I don't know if Mr. Jiang can play it again?" ”
"That's a good idea, that song is really great, didn't you sing one on it last time? It's okay to sing it again this time, and let our Director Zhou Da take a look at your live expressiveness! Xu Jian quickly agreed with the idea.
Xu Jian pushed Jiang Xia onto the stage.
"Uncle Jiang, I haven't seen you for a few days." Qiao Chuhan said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, how did I play the piano today?" ”
Jiang Xia was ashamed of Qiao Chuhan's piano skills, and said with a smile: "Very good, not only has the technique improved, but it can also be seen that you no longer refuse to play the piano." ”
"It was Uncle Jiang who inspired me, and I often go to the park to play the piano these days, and I also feel the joy of the piano. I used to find it boring because no one would respond to my playing, even in a café. But in the park it was different, and I was really happy to see everyone looking at me with envy and admiration. ”
The pianist in the café is easy to overlook, but in the park, if you are playing erhu and chess in the pavilion, you will also attract a lot of onlookers, and this is the difference.
"It's good to be happy, then I have done a good deed?" Jiang Xia was also happy about Qiao Chuhan's transformation.
Xu Jian said at this time: "Little sister, do you want to listen to your Uncle Jiang sing a song again?" ”
"Is that okay?" Qiao Chuhan still likes Jiang Xia's singing very much, although Jiang Xia's piano skills are very watery.
"Of course, and this is also an opportunity for your Uncle Jiang, because there are people in the audience watching." Xu Jian's eyes glanced at Zhou Hongwen, and Qiao Chuhan, who was smart, also quickly understood.
"Uncle Jiang, you can definitely do it, and you can surprise people!" Qiao Chuhan made an exaggerated expression, and then gave up his position to Jiang Xia.
"Lalala, la, lala, lalalala......"
Jiang Xia is still singing this song with ease, and Qiao Chuhan really liked this song all of a sudden, and he thought it was very good.
The customers in the café, after Jiang Xia's singing, some people also applauded and expressed their appreciation for Jiang Xia's singing.
Xu Jian sat next to Zhou Hongwen, his eyebrows fluttering: "How is it, do you feel a little more profound on the spot than watching the live video?" ”
Zhou Hongwen smiled slightly, tasted the coffee and nodded: "It is indeed very talented." ”
"So, you decided to sign?" Xu Jian asked proudly.
"yes." Zhou Hongwen responded.
Xu Jian was so proud that he felt that he had introduced a super talented person to Zhou Hongwen: "After the matter is done, remember to invite me to dinner alone!" ”
Jiang Xia returned to his seat.
Zhou Hongwen clapped his hands and said: "It's a very good song, I like it very much, if I want to release it, this song should be popular." ”
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, I heard that you also have a daughter, if you join our company, how do you want to settle it? After becoming a singer, you have to run north and south every day, and you may not be able to take care of your daughter. Zhou Hongwen asked.
Speaking of Jiang Weiyu, Jiang Xia also hesitated a little.
Jiang Weiyu's mother is also a busy person, and she definitely can't take care of Jiang Weiyu, if he is also working outside, it is indeed a little inconvenient.
Just when Jiang Xia was thinking about it, Zhou Hongwen said: "Mr. Jiang, if you don't make a decision, I have a suggestion." It's better like this, Mr. Jiang, how about you sign a song with our company? This way your daughter can take care of it and the comics can continue. ”
"And to be honest, the most important thing in your thirties and forties is family. Of course, if you want to become an artist in our company, I am still very welcome, but it is really hard to go south and north at the age of thirty or forty, so you have to consider it carefully. Zhou Hongwen tried to speak calmly, and then took a sip of coffee quietly, his hands trembling slightly.
"What do you mean...... Before Jiang Xia could speak, Xu Jian's face became ugly.
It turned out that Zhou Hongwen came over in a hurry, not because he wanted to sign Jiang Xia as a company artist, but because he wanted to sign Jiang Xia as a songwriter and sing the songs he wrote to others......
"I'm just thinking about Mr. Jiang, I don't mean anything else, if Mr. Jiang wants to sign an artist, I'm still very welcome." Zhou Hongwen smiled, but the smile gave people a very insincere feeling.
"Let's go, Jiangxia."
Xu Jianneng understands Zhou Hongwen's reason for doing this, indeed, Jiang Xia does have many factors that restrict him from becoming a star, but he has been teased again and again, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Xu Jian felt a hot stinging pain on his face, and the most embarrassing person on the scene was not Jiang Xia or Zhou Hongwen, but him, the middleman!
Xu Jian pulled Jiang Xia to stand up.
"Wait, I'm just a suggestion!" Zhou Hongwen failed in the temptation and quickly changed his words.
"I hate it when people go back on their word over and over again!" Xu Jiandao: "Zhou Hongwen, do you think that Jiang Xia can't get mixed in the entertainment industry without you?" ”
"Let me tell you, with Jiang Xia's talent, even if he doesn't have any company's support, he can become popular!" Xu Jian was very angry and disappointed: "A cartoonist with extremely talented musical talents, you have to give up such a good gimmick!" Zhou Hongwen, you deserve to be a first-line star! ”
Xu Jian wanted to pull Jiang Xia away.
Zhou Hongwen grabbed Jiang Xia and said: "Mr. Jiang, I really don't mean anything else, don't worry, sign with our company, I guarantee that you will definitely be a second-tier star in the future!" ”
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Director Zhou, you reminded me that if I sign a contract with your company, it will be really difficult for my daughter to arrange it." ”
"Then sign up for our company's lyrics, a song, if you can maintain high quality, I can give you 50,000!" Zhou Hongwen said immediately.
"I have no plans to sell lyrics and songs for the time being."
"That, a song, 100,000 lines? For example, "Those Flowers", I paid 100,000 yuan to buy it out! ”
"I'm sorry, Director Zhou, I'm not short of money, thank you for your appreciation."
Jiang Xia said to Xu Jian: "Let's go." ”
Xu Jiandao: "It doesn't matter, it's not that it's not uncommon to make music by yourself now, I remember that there was a singer before, who made music by himself, and now he is a stable first-line singer in China." ”
Xu Jian glared at Zhou Hongwen, and then said: "Jiang Xia's comic talent is very strong, I heard that the comics are about to be adapted to IP, once the adaptation is successful, there will definitely be a lot of fame, and then come and sing, with Jiang Xia's talent, not to mention anything else, it is more popular than those stars under you, there is absolutely no problem!" ”
Xu Jian pulled Jiang Xia away.
