The four of them sat in the cramped living room, with different expressions.

Father Li said: "Let's introduce ourselves." ”

"My name is Ye Ziwei, and I am the editor-in-charge of "Breaking the Waves" magazine."

Tang Yu glanced at the woman beside him suspiciously, and said, "My name is Tang Yu, I played in a band before, and I served as the lead guitarist in the band. ”

"Then tell me about your purpose." Father Li was in complete control of the situation.

"I'm here to find Hua Manlou, I asked you before and you didn't answer, but I think, you are Mr. Hua Manlou." Ye Ziwei looked at Father Li and said with a smile.

Father Li smiled but did not speak.

Tang Yu pointed to Li Qing, who was speechless, and said, "I'm here to find him, and I want to form a band with him." ”

Hearing the band, Li Qing's expression changed slightly.

Father Li said, "I probably know your needs. ”

He looked at Ye Ziwei: "I'm sorry, I'm not Mr. Hua Manlou as you said." ”

"You're not?" Ye Ziwei obviously didn't believe it, thinking that the other party had guessed the purpose of her trip and wanted to refuse her, she hurriedly said, "Our magazine is very sincere, as long as Mr. Hua Manlou and you sign a contract with our magazine, we can give you a price of 1000 thousand words, which is higher than that of many veteran authors." ”

Father Li smiled and shook his head: "I'm really not." ”

"But on the signing contract, it's obviously your photo, although the photo is much younger, but that person must be you." Ye Ziwei said, "You won't tell me that you have a younger brother who is very similar to you, right?" ”

"Eh......" Li's father directly named, "The younger brother doesn't have one, but the son has one." ”

"Him?" Ye Ziwei looked at Li Qing.

"That's right, my son is the real Hua Manlou, I'm sorry I used my ID card to sign the contract before, the main thing is that my son is still young, I was worried that he would be deceived, so I ......"

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"No kidding." Father Li's face was serious.

"Okay, no matter which of the two of you is the real Hua Manlou, I'm right to ask you about the contract, right?"

"That's right, he signed with my consent."

"And what do you think of that proposal I just made?"

"What proposal?"

"1000 words in a thousand words."

"So tall?" Father Li couldn't believe it, "Is he worth the price?" ”

"Worth, of course." As soon as she said this, Ye Ziwei entered a state of excitement, "Don't you know, "Phantom City" is rated so high on the Internet, it is about to be praised to the sky, and Hua Manlou was once praised as a new star in the literary world comparable to Han Dong and Wang Mao. ”

"Wait, who are Han Dong and Wang Mao?"

"Well, you don't know?"

"Is it famous? I'm sorry, I don't pay much attention to the literary world, I only know Qiao Gang Master and Xiang Shuai. ”

Ye Ziwei sweated for a moment: "Both of them are masters of writing martial arts, but they have been sealed for many years. ”

"Have you closed the pen, no wonder I haven't seen their works for a long time, I think back then, when I was a student......"

Ye Ziwei interrupted him: "Is the topic off track?" ”

"Uh, excuse me, let's continue, where are we?"

"Speaking of "Phantom City", it is very popular, and it is definitely worth the price of 1,000 words per thousand."

"Since you say it's worth it."

"What does Mr. Li think of the price?"

"That's good."

Ye Ziwei said happily: "Then we will sign the contract now?" ”

After saying that, she was about to open her bag and take out the contract.

"Don't rush yet."

"Huh?" Ye Ziwei stopped her movements, puzzled.

"I don't have a problem, but it depends on my son's wishes."

"But...... Are you responsible for him to sign the contract? ”

"That's right, he can't sign without my consent. But if he doesn't want to, I won't force him. ”

Ye Ziwei felt that she had been tricked, the kind of trick that she played between her palms.

"Qingzai, do you want to sign a contract with the magazine? 1000 words in 1,000 words. Father Li said to Li Qing.

Li Qing is indeed a little excited, but he doesn't value money so much, the last time he wrote a novel and submitted it was just to earn money to buy a birthday gift, and the manuscript fee has not yet arrived.

In addition, his voice has suddenly been abandoned in the past few days, and his mood is terrible, how can he be interested in doing this.

Just as he was about to shake his head and refuse, Li's father said again: "Your throat problem has to be seen in a big hospital, and I am afraid it will take a lot of money to cure it." ”

"Dad, are you saying my throat can still be saved?" As soon as Li Qing's voice came out, Tang Yu and Ye Ziwei both trembled in their hearts, they had no idea that this kind of voice came from the mouth of a teenager.

Although Tang Yu had heard Li Qing's singing outside the door before, he couldn't hear it very clearly through a door, and second, there was still some difference between a person's voice and the voice of singing.

For a singer, the condition of the voice is very important, and hearing that Li Qing's voice is so bad, Tang Yu immediately ruled out the idea of letting him be the lead singer.

Maybe the position of lead guitarist would suit him.

Tang Yu has watched the video of Li Qing playing the guitar and knows that Li Qing is definitely qualified for this position that requires very high improvisation ability.

"Of course there is salvation, now that medicine is very developed, it can definitely cure your throat, but the premise is that you have enough money."

"How much does that cost......"

"This ......," Father Li thought for a moment, "maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, maybe tens of millions." ”

Li Qing was taken aback: "Do you want so much?" ”

"That's for sure, but don't count on me, my money is all stuffed into your room, and I can't get a penny, you can earn your own money now, you can figure it out yourself."

Li Qing suddenly made a decision in his heart: "I ......"

"Wait." Tang Yu hurriedly stopped him from continuing.

"You should listen to my advice first."

"What do you suggest?" Father Li asked helpfully.

"I don't think being a writer is as much money as being a star."

"Who said that writers don't earn less than celebrities, if you write well, one million a year is not a problem, and if you can sell the copyright, tens of millions will be easy." Ye Ziwei immediately retorted that she couldn't let her beaked duck fly.

"There are very few writers who can get that number." Tang Yu has just come out of college, and he still knows a little about the literary circle.

Ye Ziwei was a little unconfident: "I believe that with the level of flowers full of buildings, sooner or later one day we will be able to reach that height." ”

"I don't know how many years from now." Tang Yu said with a smile, "The entertainment industry is different, as long as a work becomes popular and famous, the money can roll in, isn't it much better than the money you earn from staying up late to write?" ”

Saying that, no matter how angry Ye Ziwei was, her chest was about to explode, and she turned her head to Li Qing in a seductive voice and said, "I am going to form a band and enter the music world, I want to invite you to join me." Believe me, with our talents, we will definitely be able to break into the music world, and when the time comes, fame, money, and women will not be a problem. ”

Li Qing is very excited, he prefers music to writing, if he can only choose one of the two in his future life, he will definitely choose the latter.

However, he is still in school.

The difference between singing and writing is that singing can be done everywhere, and writing can be done at home.

Choosing to write, he can find time to write outside of class.

And if he chooses to sing, he will have to give up his studies.

Li Qing was in a dilemma for a while.

Tang Yu saw where Li Qing's doubts were: "Are you worried that after forming a band with me, you won't be able to go to school." ”

Li Qing nodded.

"Actually, I don't think it's a problem at all, you can't learn much in ordinary schools, it's better to go with me, and when you have money in the future, you can invite a lot of teachers to give you special tutoring."

These words are very reasonable, Li Qing has completely accepted Tang Yu's statement in his heart, but the decision is not with him.

"What decisions you have to make, Dad fully supports you." Father Li said.

Li Qing was very moved, and was about to make a decision, but Ye Ziwei couldn't help but jump out.

She couldn't watch the duck fly to her beak, she glared at Tang Yu, although the other party had an absolute advantage, she was not without opportunities, such as ......

"Well, I think, playing music doesn't affect writing, the two are not in conflict, you can write novels when you're tired of singing, or you can sing and sing after you're tired of writing, so that your brain can rest."

Well, Ye Ziwei had no choice but to resort to a "win-win" trick in the end.

This proposal is quite good, Li Qing thought about it seriously, and finally decided to agree to the two of them.

Music, literature, I want it.
