Chapter 39: Be a Trendsetter
Li Huizhao caught up, "Where are you going, it's not early, I have to rush home before dinner." ”
Hu Yifei looked at the table below, "Don't worry, I'll take you to buy something first." He took her hand and walked to the e-mall not far away. Li Huizhaoqiao's face was slightly red, and she quietly broke free and stopped moving, letting him pull forward.
This is a place that sells mobile phones, and Li Huizhao has long wanted to buy them, but when she saw the price tag, she immediately retreated. His eyes swept slightly, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Which one do you prefer?" By the way, give me your bank card number. ”
"What are you doing?" Guessing what he was going to do, Li Huizhao refused with a face.
The proud little girl in her heart is the most refusal of this kind of help from boys who like it.
Hu Yifei said with a gentle face: "Don't think about it, you can also see this as a venture capital." In layman's terms, I am optimistic about your potential stock, and now I want to invest in you in advance. You, a high-achieving student at Mizuki University, will get ahead sooner or later, are you still worried that I will lose money when the time comes? ”
"Hmph~!" Li Huizhao's face looked better, and she was slightly proud in her heart. She has confidence in herself, and her rejection mentality is also a little more relaxed. "Buy it, buy it, and pay it back to you later."
"That's right." Hu Yifei observed the words and looked at the red Nokia she had been looking at for a long time, so he called the salesman and said, "That's it, please wrap it up, can you get the number?" ”
"Okay sir, a total of 4,500 yuan, we happen to be engaged in activities, you can buy a mobile phone for free, and give away 200 yuan in phone bills."
Hu Yifei swiped the card to pay and asked Li Huizhao to choose the number, and he quietly called Liu Yan.
"Brother Fei, what's the matter. We're on the skewers, are you coming back? ”
"Fatty, do you have 20,000 yuan in your hand?"
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and most likely guessed that it was the girl just now, "Yes, do you want it now?" ”
"I'll give you a number, if it's convenient for you, you can save it now." The first batch of manuscript fees in Hu Yifei's hands was left for his family, and some of the registration for the start of school was spent. The share of the manuscript fee has not yet arrived, and with the usual expenses, I don't have much money in hand now.
Liu Yan was not verbose, "Okay, the skewers are almost finished, just before the bank closes." ”
"Yes."
Li Huizhao heard that Hu Yifei gave her another 20,000 yuan, and her face was reluctant. They pouted and ignored him all the way, but they couldn't say no, they really needed the money. The taxi driver saw the little girl pouting in the rearview mirror, and was kind enough to talk, "Did the little couple quarrel?" ”
Hu Yifei smiled gently, "It's okay big brother, you drive carefully." ”
"Eh, eh~~" The driver just opened his mouth, and before he started chattering, he was shut down. Grin, turn on the car radio.
“…… Listeners and friends, welcome back to the sound of music, I am everyone's old friend Yu Chacha. The song I want to recommend for you today comes from the Internet. It is a song full of sad emotions, a song of nostalgia for youth and a declaration of no regrets, from the lyrics, you can feel the singer's seemingly ordinary immortal ambition, but the real past is actually no different from everyone in the world, as the first sentence of the lyrics says: once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, looking at the prosperity of the world, the young heart is always a little frivolous, and now you are home ...... the world"
"On the road of pursuing dreams, 'there are sad and wonderful', 'always thinking of the friends around me who are walking on the road, how many are healing'. Therefore, this is "Once You" written by cutting-edge Internet singer Hu Yifei to himself, but it is also "Once You" written to everyone in the world, every young person with ideals is lonely in the process of realizing his dreams. ”
"Once You, for everyone."
The two people in the back seat of the car glanced at each other, and their eyes instantly focused on the radio.
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, looking at the prosperity of the world, I was always a little frivolous when I was young, and now you are a family ...... all over the world"
"That's good!" After listening to a song, Li Huizhao finally spoke, "I didn't expect it to be so good after recording." Hu Yifei, then you won't be a singer in the future, but I'm still a poor student who does nothing. The mood was low again.
Hu Yifei was speechless, "There is no shadow, there are many doors here." I haven't figured out what the future holds. ”
The driver heard something unusual, "What are you talking about, you sang this song." ”
"Yes, it's my friend who sang it, uncle, is it good?" Li Huizhao immediately became interested again and spoke enthusiastically. This change of mood is the rain of June.
"Ouch, that's a big deal. I didn't expect to carry a singer. ……”
The two of them opened the chatterbox, and they chatted as if Hu Yifei didn't exist. He also heard something unusual, as if it was not the first time that the radio broadcast had pushed his song, "How is it possible, the radio station is so enthusiastic about being a Bole in recent years?" ”
With doubts, after sending Li Huizhao home, he returned directly to the Taihe wheat field.
Half an hour later, "So, Taihe Wheat Field is really boosting the song?" ”
Song Ke said with a smile: "It's not specifically to promote songs, it's just incidental for the time being." Ah Fei, I don't know what concerns you have, and you refuse to sign the contract for a long time. Maybe you are very optimistic about digital music, but the singers who have become popular on the Internet are not the right way after all, and they will eventually return to the physical one. You must have seen the heart of our wheat field. Even if you have a talent for writing, doesn't it affect singing? As the saying goes, it's better to be famous than ever. I think it makes a lot of sense. Momentary fame is nothing. Being able to sustain it for a long time is the way to survive. ”
Hu Yifei silently discussed, digital music began to be born this year, and suddenly exploded next year. With the popularization of the Internet, traditional record culture has also been degraded. Those best-selling singers in the past, now the so-called platinum sales, are simply a joke. New technologies have changed communication and sales channels, and the change of channels has also changed the consumer base of music.
The rise of digital music is inevitable, and the reason why online music, MP3, CRBT and other forms have brought such a big impact to China's traditional record industry is also inseparable from rampant piracy.
Therefore, while digital music brings convenience to people, it also brings infinite troubles to music; It is not only a great opportunity for the record industry, but also a ruin. "The record is dead" was the most nagging phrase by many musicians in those years. I have to say that Song Ke's vision is still very accurate, and the traditional record industry has finally risen. And those superstars with distinct personalities, such as Zhou Capricorn, etc., are still popular by selling records.
So what role did he play in this great wave of musical change?
Back to that old topic, what is he here to do when he is reborn?
There is a good saying: if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it; If you don't do it, you will suffer it!
The copyist has done it, so why bother to be a saint.
"Okay, then Mr. Song will draft a contract."
"Ah~!" Song Ke was stunned, and then overjoyed, "Ah Fei, did you agree to sign the contract?" ”
"Yes, but I have a few conditions......"
Song Ke was slightly stunned when he heard this, after all, he was the boss, and quickly suppressed his mood fluctuations, and coughed dryly: "Let's talk about it." ”
"First, the contract is limited to the singer contract, and I will do a lot of things in the future, and it will only become more and more popular. Second, the contract period should not exceed five years, and there should be holidays and loose free time. Third, I want to participate in the planning of my own singer positioning, and the company needs to try to focus on me and cooperate with my plan. I promise that only I know myself best and is what suits me best. Fourth, I need the company to hire a dance teacher and music teacher for me, and I will regularly take time to study every week in the future. Fifth...... Fifth ......"
He ignored Song Ke's stunned expression and continued:
"Since this great wave of digital music revolution is about to begin, since God has brought me to this era, let me completely detonate it and be a trendsetter who leads the times."
"Whether it's online release or album production, I don't need the company to prepare my future songs for me, I will be responsible for myself. I hope that the company will use this concept as the theme to make a preliminary announcement: on the first day of every month in the future, I will regularly release a new song on the Internet. There is no limit to the subject matter and style, and of course, it will definitely be handed over to the company before it is released. ”
"One song a month?" Song Ke had already opened his mouth completely.
