Chapter 55: The Studio
An Ning looked at the mobile phone in his hand, thinking of Huo Ziqiu's coughs, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Listening to his voice, it seems that he is in a worse state than yesterday, I don't know if it is serious or not, and will it delay the filming progress in the future......
"Ahem...... Bai Jun deliberately coughed a few times outside the door, drawing back An Ning's attention, "Is the call over, let's come out quickly after the call." ”
When An Ning opened the door and walked out, Bai Jun said narrowly: "Let your boyfriend come to visit the class, I also want to meet this 'Yuan Jia'." ”
"Huh?"
Looking at An Ning's expression of "I don't understand what you're saying", Bai Jun patted her on the shoulder and winked at her, as if to say, "I've seen through everything, don't pretend", and then flashed into the bathroom by herself.
An Ning was a little messy in the wind, just a phone call, how could Bai Jun make up so many things in his brain......
——
Shen Ping's call came in the afternoon, a calm and rich baritone, and he asked An Ning to meet in a secluded café.
For Shen Ping, An Ning has always had a subtle respect in his heart.
Twenty years ago, when Shen Ping became famous, although An Ning was only ten years old, he also remembered the grand occasion when he was so popular at that time. Shen Ping's folk songs can be heard in almost all streets and alleys.
Ten years ago, when he and Tao Hua quit the entertainment industry together, An Ning had already stepped into this circle with one foot, and he personally felt the overwhelming malice from almost all over the world.
At that time, An Ning quietly asked herself, if she changed places, could she, like Shen Ping, give up the music she loved deeply, give up her career, and bear the pressure from the whole world, but just for a love that almost no one blessed?
She barely thought about it, and the answer came to mind.
No, she can't do such a thing, she doesn't have that kind of courage.
Therefore, An Ning admired Shen Ping, and this respect made her a little inexplicably excited on the way to the café.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were almost no people in the café, An Ning pushed the door in, and only glanced at it and saw Shen Ping sitting in the corner.
She walked over to the table and asked softly, "Mr. Shen?" ”
Shen Ping raised his head and smiled peacefully: "I am." Then he pointed to the opposite seat: "Sit down." ”
An Ning still remembers the poster twenty years ago of Shen Ping, wearing a jacket and jeans, which were popular at the time, holding a guitar, and his eyes were green and uninhibited.
And the man in front of him, whether it is his face, expression, or tone of speech, is gentle and calm, and there is no uninhibited at all.
An Ning ordered herself a cappuccino.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Ziqiu called me yesterday, and I just flew here this morning." When we first met, my name was Shen Ping. ”
"Hello, my name is Meng Anning." An Ning said: "I have heard your songs, they are very good. ”
"You're so young that you've heard my songs?" Shen Ping was a little surprised: "In the past ten years, I have almost not found my songs on the market. ”
An Ning was a little embarrassed: "Even if a good song is hidden for a while, it will still be discovered after a long time." What I listened to is not genuine, it is uploaded by netizens for the second time......"
Shen Ping smiled again, this time his eyes narrowed with laughter: "I feel that our future cooperation will be very smooth." ”
He took out two contracts from the bag he was carrying and pushed them in front of An Ning: "The contract is signed for three years, and during this period, I will be your agent and fully responsible for your development." ”
Party A on the contract wrote "Shen Ping Studio", and An Ning asked: "It turns out that you already have your own studio, but why hasn't there been any news at all?" ”
"Although this studio has my name on it, the biggest investor is actually Ziqiu."
"Huo Ziqiu? Didn't Fengyun set up his own studio for him? ”
Shen Ping said slowly: "Although he is the biggest investor, all aspects of this studio have nothing to do with him. To be precise, Huo Ziqiu did not set up this studio for his own development. ”
It's not for your own development, it's for the development of others?
I don't know why, An Ning suddenly thought of Huo Ziqiu's confession incident some time ago: "Could it be ......?"
Shen Ping seemed to see what she wanted to ask, and shook his head with a smile: "He is also a very stubborn person...... Take a closer look at this contract, it's about your next three years. ”
An Ning nodded and read it word by word.
And Shen Ping sat across from her, slowly drinking coffee.
When Huo Ziqiu called him last night and said that he wanted him to fly to S City to sign a newcomer, Shen Ping felt very strange. But when he knew that the newcomer's name was Meng Anning, he felt that things were not so strange.
The girl on the other side looked at the contract seriously with her head down, her not-so-long hair falling over her shoulders. Shen Ping thought, she probably didn't know how good a name she had.
Ten years ago, Shen Ping and Tao Hua withdrew from the entertainment industry gloomily, and almost found a small city to live into.
But even so, gossip still haunts them, and they are still full of pointing fingers and strange eyes.
Later, when Huo Ziqiu found them, he asked straight to the point: "Do you plan to live a mediocre life like this?" I think you've already felt that whether you're living in the spotlight or living in a parent's life, as long as you're together, there won't be a truly peaceful life. ”
Huo Ziqiu is very good at grasping other people's weaknesses, he told Shen Ping: "If you have enough strength, no matter how ugly the judgment of the outside world is, it will not hurt you in the slightest." ”
He added: "Although you and Tao Hua have both been popular, they rely on the strength of the company, once the company decides to give up on you, you have no strength to resist at all." ”
Shen Ping had to admit that Huo Ziqiu's words poked at his heart every word. So when Huo Ziqiu proposed to set up a studio in partnership with Shen Ping, he agreed without much thought.
Building a studio sounds easy, but it's hard to actually do. Not only does it require a lot of investment money, but it also requires a wide range of contacts.
In these two aspects, Huo Ziqiu is far better than Shen Ping, so in real terms, Huo Ziqiu should be regarded as the boss of this studio.
But when registering, Huo Ziqiu insisted on not letting his name appear. After discussion, it was finally decided to name it after Shen Ping.
Shen Ping's studio was officially established three years ago, and in the past three years, Huo Ziqiu has hardly interfered in management, just providing a little high-quality resources when he is needed.
