Jiang Youbo provoked the topic of "interpretivist art" at first only because of his personal sensitivity and arrogance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a descendant of the Jiang family, he will always meet all kinds of people with impure motives in Wanwan to make friends with him and hype up things.

Gu Cheng and he had just met today, so he asked him to help his company decorate and design in the future, and he suspected that Gu Cheng was contaminated with the official and business habits of the mainland, which was understandable.

But soon, the topic became a one-sided hanging. Jiang Youbo found that the artistic understanding, which he had been proud of all his life, happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

"We don't need to cite too many examples, and we can even leave aside nine out of ten classical musicians – just Beethoven, who has more than 30 piano sonatas, more than 20 string ensembles and violin sonatas in his lifetime.

But what about our music textbooks? Most people, except for professionals, only know three or four tomes. In the field of art, the treasures left by the predecessors are enough for the vast majority of people to appreciate, but the world does not look at the achievements of the predecessors, and directly seeks innovation behind closed doors. What's even more terrifying is that many Xiaobai obviously listen to the only specious 'new songs', and they worship the contemporary creators of mixed days.

It's not really serious innovation, it's just creating for the sake of creating. In my eyes, it is much more valuable to wash the eyes of most of the whites and let them see the vastness of the existing world than to pretend to be innovative under the cloak of routines. ”

Gu Cheng drank tea and translated his views into very straightforward human words in one go.

Jiang Youbo was stunned when he heard this, and felt that what he had learned in Parsons College for several years had been thoroughly clicked by Gu Cheng in a few words.

"It's a shame for people like you to go on the Internet. Jiang Youbo's throat rang a few times, and he sighed with difficulty, "I didn't believe that there are people in the world who are born to know, but now I do." ”

"I think it's a pity that the Internet is not a standalone industry, it is just a tool that anyone can use. The Internet will not subvert and eliminate traditional industries, it will only become the eyes and ears of traditional industries, allowing those industries to improve themselves with the times. Gu Cheng didn't save face at all, and broke Jiang Youbo's high and low.

These views can no longer be talked about after decades, from "Internet +" to "+ Internet", the threshold of the Internet is getting lower and lower, and there will definitely be no content industry bigwigs who are in awe of the Internet.

However, in 2000, when the Internet was not yet developed, these words were enough to stir the deafening.

Gu Cheng continued to brainwash the other party: "For example, now all musicians will find a promotion problem: it is much more difficult to promote pure music than to promote songs. Whether this pure music is classical, pop music, or pure electronic music - it is much more difficult to spread than music with lyrics of the same tune. I don't know if you've noticed this phenomenon. ”

Jiang Youbo thought for a while: "It seems like this, I think it may be because pure music has no lyrics, and even if non-professional enthusiasts like it after hearing it, they can't go to Yahoo to describe and search for the name of this song, right?"

That's why. Gu Cheng affirmed the other party's statement, and then looked forward presumptuously, "Have you thought about it, if Baidu can search for music by humming tunes directly instead of typing and writing song titles in the future, wouldn't the promotion of pure music be ten times easier than now?

In terms of insights in this field, 40 years later, no one in the world can be more sensitive than Gu Cheng, let alone beating today's primitive people.

Jiang Youbo was so shocked by his prospect that he couldn't speak, but he didn't expect that the vague three views of "cultural interpretation is more important than blind creation" in his mind for several years were completely dissected by Gu Cheng.

That feeling is like Zuo Lengchan, who can only say that "Zuo is just thinking that the combination is strong, and the division is weak, so the Wuyue Sword Sect should be merged", and suddenly heard Yue Buqun's praise of quoting scriptures and great benevolence and righteousness, and at the same time, the inexplicable ecstasy in his heart.

I just want to bow my head directly, there is wood!

"I've never completely served a few people in my life. And the first day I got to know me, you were the first. Jiang Youbo sighed for a long time and promised, "When you rent a place, I will design it for you, and I will not charge design fees, only decoration fees." ”

When Jiang Youbo said this, he cautiously took out a business card holder from the pocket on the front of his jacket and handed one to Gu Cheng.

It's a friend.

Gu Cheng took it with both hands and glanced at it: Orange Fruit Studio, Jiang Youbo, and a mobile phone number, which is very concise.

After exchanging business cards, Jiang Youbo saw that it was not too early, so he got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something, and turned around and asked Gu Cheng: "You open a brokerage company here, do you have any difficulty recruiting people?" I still know a few friends in the circle. ”

Gu Cheng said politely: "My company here in Wanwan doesn't do much business, at most it needs people like agents and scouts, and nothing else." ”

Jiang Youbo thought about it very seriously and said, "Okay, my girlfriends are all in the modeling circle, and if you only need an agent, you will only be in the modeling circle." Remember to answer strange calls these days. Don't worry, I won't recommend it to you if it's not reliable. ”

"Then thank you. ”

……

After Gu Cheng sent Jiang Youbo away, the Long family was also impressed by him - they knew that Jiang Youbo was a person with arrogant vision and self-confidence. Gu Cheng actually made friends with the other party with a meal and a cup of tea, and this insight is not simple in the first place.

On the same day, Gu Cheng negotiated with his cousin and submitted an application for registering a brokerage company and rented two offices as the company's registered address.

In fact, Gu Cheng also thought about it before he came, and it is not necessary to open a company in Wanwan to talk about Zhou Jielun's mainland agency contract, legally speaking, it can be directly negotiated in the name of his newly registered audio-visual e-commerce company in the mainland. It's just that in that case, there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up, which involves reporting to the Guowan Office.

What is more important is that the cross-strait economic and trade cooperation in 2000 was very narrow, and non-governmental people on the mainland could not take the initiative to apply for business visas.

Gu Cheng came this time to play a sideline game with a family visit sign, but the family visit sign can only be used by himself. After this company is opened, he can send invitations to other people in the mainland through the company, which is equivalent to turning his left hand into his right hand and inviting himself himself.

In this way, in the future, whether it is cousin Pan Jieying or Gu Cheng's other friends in the mainland, they can circumvent legal restrictions and come to discuss business.

rented an office, Gu Cheng didn't have a helper, so he went to the office alone to hang around, confirmed that there was no problem, and planned to send a fax to invite someone from Alfa Records to talk about business in a few days.

The office is rented in an inconspicuous office building outside the small south gate, and the house looks like it was built in the early 80s, and there is no elevator. Fortunately, the office is on the 3rd floor, and I am not afraid to climb the stairs.

Such houses can be seen everywhere in the urban area of Wanbei, because the capital pays attention to the demolition of the area is a very troublesome and troublesome thing. The economy of Wanwan started early, and the urban area of Wanbei has been completely urbanized in the 80s. After 20 years, the construction technology has advanced, and the high-rise buildings have been demolished again, and the real estate developers cannot afford the demolition fees.

The decoration in the room was abandoned by the previous company, which saved Gu Cheng a lot of trouble. He can hold on for a while, wait for Zhou Jielun's business, and then find Jiang Youbo's studio to redesign.

However, anti-theft access control and security monitoring must be replaced immediately, otherwise it is not safe.

He thought about it for a while, and called Jiang Youbo early the next morning: "Uncle You, does your studio have a cooperative decoration company to do security? I don't have to be very formal, as long as I act quickly, it is best to do the work neatly on the same day." ”

Jiang Youbo was obviously still lying in bed when he received the call, and he had a tendency to turn into a low blood pressure demon king, and after thinking about it patiently for a while, he sent a text message to Gu Cheng with a number, which was a.

After reporting the number, Jiang Youbo reacted and asked in a daze: "So, are you in the company today?" ”

"Yes, it should be. ”

"Okay, someone might come to your place today, and you can see if it works. ”

"Done. Gu Cheng agreed and hung up the phone.

Then I looked for it again according to the number given by Jiang Youbo, and there was a home decoration company opposite. Gu Chengzhi said that he needed an electrician who reinstalled security monitoring and access control, and there was no other requirement, the sooner the better.

The owner of the decoration team thought about it and said 3 days. Gu Cheng said that it was too slow, even if he added money, he would have to come on the same day.

In the end, after a little bargaining, the other party asked for a price increase of 10,000 Taiwan dollars, and they temporarily found someone to work that day.

Gu Cheng originally wanted to go out and walk around that day, but since the other party promised to send someone over immediately, and he might apply for a job from a related household introduced by Jiang Youbo, he casually found a desk, took out his laptop to browse the email, and dealt with some problems in the operation of "Legend", and waited for someone by the way.

As the boss, Gu Cheng has endless emails to deal with every day, and she can't throw them all to Pan Jieying in China, after all, her talent is not enough to be on her own.

When work enters a state of "flow", time always passes quickly. Dozens of emails have been replied to, and two hours have passed.

Seeing that there was still an hour to go before lunch, Gu Cheng was wondering whether to order a takeout and continue to wait.

At this time, a 30-year-old uncle with a mustache and a slight roe head suddenly came to the door, wearing dirty denim overalls, carrying a package on his back, holding a big electric drill in his hand, and looking in: "Hey, is it that your family is looking for Team Chen to install security monitoring? Why don't you even have a signboard?" ”

"Yes, it's our home. Gu Cheng closed the computer, stood up politely, and let the mustachioed uncle inside, "The company has only been registered for the second day, and I didn't have time to make a LOGO." ”

The uncle didn't talk nonsense with Gu Cheng, and said crisply: "A full set of Honeywell monitoring, a full set of Honeywell electronic access control, a total of 30,006, plus 10,000 yuan for urgent labor fees." Mr. Chen told me on the phone, pay it in person, I will give you a receipt, and the invoice will be sent to you in a few days. ”

"Want cash?" Gu Cheng was in a hurry, he thought he could transfer money, but he didn't expect this kind of contractor to be so informal. After thinking about it, he tried to compromise and said, "What about the RMB?"

The uncle was not unreasonable, and calculated in his heart: "It's okay, I won't hack your exchange rate, you can give 10,000, and I'll wipe it for you." ”

Gu Cheng took out the money and was about to give it to the other party, when he suddenly had a heartfelt eye, and asked the uncle: "Do you have a business card?" I don't even know who you are, and Mr. Chen didn't tell me on the phone that he wanted to pay cash. ”

When the uncle saw Gu Cheng's ink, he suddenly lost his temper: "Hey! I can't do it yet! To tell you the truth, I haven't taken this kind of work for almost half a year, if it weren't for the 10,000 yuan rush fee you gave today, I wouldn't have accepted this order! Where did I get my business card!"

Gu Cheng was even more uneasy: "Then what are you doing? If you don't tell me why, I won't pay today." ”

"Hey, you kid is messing with me? It was you who had to hurry up and Team Chen called me back. That's it, I don't ink with you. ”

The uncle seemed to have given up on the vernacular, reluctantly took out a business card, which was obviously the one he was currently engaged in, and then stuffed it to Gu Cheng with a shameful face.

"Fangwen Mountain?Alpha Music Contracted Lyricist?" Gu Cheng was dumbfounded.

The uncle didn't realize at all: "You don't have to be full-time to compose lyrics, I used to be an electrician, and when the lyrics are free, I can't take some private work to subsidize the family!"
