Chapter 58: Shen Pinghe
"Mom, there's been a lot of news in the newspapers these days criticizing your future student. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ye Junhua, who was in his thirties and was already a little fat, was stuck in the sofa and took a newspaper from the glass coffee table. After lifting Erlang's legs and spreading them, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly lowered the newspaper in his hand and said to the person opposite.
"I've seen Phantom City. The newspaper said too much, "Phantom City" is still a very good youth novel after all. While there are some shortcomings, those shortcomings are forgivable for a 16-year-old. ”
"Not being envied is mediocrity!" He received an unhurried answer.
He was answered by an old woman who looked to be sixty years old, wearing a pair of reading glasses, and was dressed in a plain manner. She was leisurely pruning a pot of camellias. Topping, wiping, thinning, every action is like flowing water. The scissors in her hands are like a cow to the camellia, and everything shows her skill.
This old woman is none other than Shen Pinghe.
Look at the pruned camellia to the left and to the right. Nodding in satisfaction, she put down the scissors in her hand.
"You're helping your Uncle Xia to be a lobbyist again, right? Don't talk nonsense about things that haven't been decided yet. ”
"Mom, why am I talking nonsense. With that child's song "Gardenia Blooming", he can properly beat the runner-up. ”
Ye Junhua hurriedly said anxiously.
"Talent is one thing. It is also necessary to look at the character, the basic skills, the learning ability and the comprehension ability. There's a lot to see. ”
Shen Pinghe glanced at his son, still with that unhurried attitude. She had just returned to her hometown, and she had yet to hear the story of a birthday dinner.
"That's good! They'll be there in the afternoon, so you need to take a good look. Ye Junhua stupidly covered his head with the newspaper again and continued to read. But this time he didn't hold on as long as the last time, and it didn't take long for him to hold back after a while.
Just put down the newspaper.
"Mom, let me tell you something. From the capital to Jingxing, I have been with you for almost half a month. After today, I have to go back to the capital. Although the movie on my crew's side has been filmed, there are still a lot of things to do in the future! ”
"Yes! You're a big director, a busy man. Accompanying me, a bad old woman, is really delaying your time. ”
That being said, Shen Pinghe was not at all annoyed. The son is still very filial, and since his wife is gone, he has time to accompany him. That's enough, you can't ask your son to do nothing to accompany him, he also has his own family and career.
Shen Pinghe said this in order to ask the next question: "However, according to the leave you asked, you should have gone back two days ago." Why haven't you left until today? ”
"This?"
Ye Junhua's face suddenly showed great embarrassment. If he doesn't go back after the holiday is over, he naturally has his reasons. In fact, for this reason, his mother also knew that he was beating Zhao Yiming's idea of "Gardenia Blooming".
He wanted to use the song as the theme song for his new movie.
Ye Junhua's new movie is a youth campus-themed movie. The film has already finished filming and is in post-production. He's worried about the movie's theme song.
There are already several alternative songs that are not very good. Ye Junhua is ready to be tall among the short people. Who knows, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Zhao Yiming, a student recommended to her by her mother's old friend Xia An Pingxia, has such an excellent song work.
A good theme song is just too important for a movie. Maybe years later, people don't remember the movie anymore, but the theme song is unforgettable. When the theme song is hummed, the movie will replay in your head.
And the song "Gardenia Blooming" is too much in line with the style and atmosphere of his movie. If he can get this song as the theme song of the movie, he has the idea of changing the name of the movie to "Gardenia Blossom".
If there is no mother to accept the student. Ye Junhua, who got this information, naturally contacted Zhao Yiming according to the normal procedure, expressed his will, and gave the price. The two sides then bargained over the price, and finally made a deal. A simple thing.
But when this happens, it's complicated.
If the mother refuses to accept Zhao Yiming as a student, can the movie as her son still buy songs from him? It's impossible for a normal person to think about it with his toes. If you run up, it's polite for someone to give you a big look.
Think about it the other way around, though. If his mother accepts Zhao Yiming as a student, this matter will become a great thing again. Buying a song from a mother's disciple is almost a certainty of success. Maybe I'll give a friendship discount.
Therefore, Ye Junhua, who has always maintained a neutral attitude towards his mother's acceptance of students when he returned to his hometown, couldn't sit still. Especially on the last day of the holiday, when he heard that his mother had agreed with Uncle Xia to visit two days later. He decided to stay for a few more days.
The purpose of Ye Junhua's stay is clear. just wanted to urge Zhao Yiming to successfully become his mother's student, and then proposed to Zhao Yiming to buy "Gardenia Flowers".
Of course, he didn't think of using this song as a condition to promise Zhao Yiming to help him become his mother's student.
But he has no ability to guarantee that Zhao Yiming will become his mother's student. And if it doesn't work out, and he accepts other people's songs, once this incident happens and his mother knows, he Ye Junhua won't be able to eat and go around. This kind of thing that is particularly self-defeating is not dared to be done.
Therefore, he only tried to say more good things about Zhao Yiming in front of his mother in the past two days.
"Can you have some faith in that kid? In the past two days, I have also read a little bit of that child's fairy tales, poems, and novels. It's all good stuff. Just by looking at his work, you should have faith in his character. ”
Shen Ping and a sixty-year-old lady, what world has not seen? If she was puzzled at first that her son suddenly cared about her accepting students, as long as she looked at his words and deeds, she knew her son's mind clearly.
It's impossible to say that you don't want to help your son. The old cow still has the love of licking the calf, let alone people.
The reason why he didn't agree to him for a long time stemmed from Shen Pinghe's principle of teaching and educating people all his life, as well as her love and protection for her reputation.
Shen Ping and accepting students, in the final analysis, there are only two conditions. The first is to have good talent and high understanding, and the second is to have good character.
Music, to a large extent, depends on talent. With talent, coupled with hard work, you can make good works. If you don't have talent, it's useless to try hard. An iron pestle can be sharpened into a needle, but a wooden pestle can only be sharpened into a toothpick.
And Shen Ping and herself are musical geniuses, and they are also used to facing students with outstanding talents. I can't teach students with bad talents, and I can't teach them well. When she met such students, she often persuaded them to change to other things, so as not to waste their youth.
Students should be of good character, which is her second requirement for students. This is also the reason why she can enjoy high prestige in the music industry. When people get old, they take more care of their wings. Shen Ping and herself didn't realize that over the years, she has become more and more demanding of the character of the students she has accepted.
"Mom, that's what you said. I'm very confident in him, but I'm afraid of what if. ”
was exposed by his mother, and Ye Junhua finally managed to contain his embarrassment.
"Don't worry, if the gap between the two children is too big, don't say it. But if the gap is small or there is no gap, I will choose him. ”
Shen Pinghe finally gave his son a comfort.
Of course, she also said first: "However, if the two children can't do it, I won't accept any of them." ”
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
Zhao Yiming stood in the courtyard of Shen Pinghe's house, his face was not good-looking. Because he saw a face that made him unhappy - Zhuo Mingjie.
Zhuo Mingjie's face was even worse. If he hadn't been mentally prepared, if it wasn't for his mother Qian Wei pulling on the side, he wouldn't be able to help but provoke Zhao Yiming.
And Xia Anping, who accompanied Zhao Yiming, was also very surprised to see these two. How did this mother and son end up here? Shen Pinghe didn't mention it to him. But he quickly figured out the situation and exchanged pleasantries with the other party. After all, Qian Wei and her daughter are "good friends", and everyone is still amicable on the surface.
After greetings, Qian Wei asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Editor-in-Chief Xia, I heard that the "Phantom City" on "Youth Weekly" has been criticized badly in the past few days, and it has no impact on the magazine, right?" ”
Mom, you're mighty.
Hearing Qian Wei say this, Zhuo Mingjie immediately looked at Zhao Yiming. This sentence was ostensibly said to Xia Anping, but it was actually mocking Zhao Yiming. Zhuo Mingjie was eager to see what his expression was now.
What expressions, of course, are no expressions.
"Phantom City" was slandered, and neither Zhao Yiming nor Xia Anping took it to heart. Zhao Yiming is because he is not afraid of slander. Xia Anping saw the fame in it.
As a veteran of the magazine, Xia Anping can easily distinguish whether the slander is the dissatisfaction of readers or the work of people with intentions. Of course, in most cases, it is intentional and the reader really feels bad at first glance, which will have an impact on the work.
And now, the reader has not reacted. This person with a heart has obviously shown a lack of follow-up. The slanderous article was stopped after only two or three days, which is too unprofessional.
Qian Wei is naturally not a professional, but it is not that no professional has reminded her when she is looking for someone to post an article. But her main purpose is to cause some influence on Shen Ping and recruiting students in the past few days. Some women always have a little bit of a stinginess, and they don't want to spend more money on things that they think are useless. So there was such a situation that Zhao Yiming and Xia Anping's eyelids didn't move.
Of course, Xia Anping heard what she meant, but how to answer her made him a little embarrassed. Directly say that the slander of "Phantom City" in the past few days is just an itch?
It's not a big deal, okay! Although it is true, but is it not too arrogant and conceited? Qian Wei probably didn't believe it either.
But the answer is too light, and I feel a little weak.
Just as he was thinking about the wording, the door of Shen Pinghe's house opened. Ye Junhua interrupted Xia Anping's thoughts: "Uncle Xia, you are here so early. By the way, this is Zhao Yiming, what a handsome guy......"
