() In 2015, late spring and early summer, Yanjing, a small courtyard house in the Third Ring Road, night.

・・・・・・

"Alas, 800,000 yuan is just like this, and I have to find money again!"

In the study, Ye Zi, who had been sitting for a long time, finally sighed depressedly, muttered a few words to himself helplessly, turned on the mobile phone that had been turned off for a long time, and dialed a number to go out.

Outside the window, a drizzle drifted like a silk mist, casting a thin veil over the night. In the distance, thunder was faintly heard, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

――――――――――

"Lao Zhu, it's me."

"Your TM is finally on, I'm CAO! Why don't you die? An angry voice came from the phone.

"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Zi frowned slightly, and raised his voice slightly: "Give me a show, well・・・・・・ it's just three months, don't be too long this time." ”

"It's only been three months? Are you sick? The voice on the phone was anxious, and said angrily: "Last time Brother Huang said that he would perform for half a year, people's advertisements had already been out, and the tickets were sold out, and your old man was good, and he suddenly disappeared after only four months. ”

Ye Zi shook his head and took the phone away from his ear.

That matter, it is true that Ye Zi did not do it very authentically. Originally, it was agreed with the other party to perform for half a year, but it stopped abruptly for no reason just after half of the time, which of course made the audience dissatisfied and even angry, and similarly, of course, this will also make it difficult for Ye Zi's agent Lao Zhu. But there was a reason for it, and Ye Zi couldn't take care of it so much at that time.

Angry voices still erupted from the phone.

"Do you know that Brother Huang is going crazy? They all let out words to find someone to cut you, do you know? Yes? How many good things did I say to Brother Huang and how many wishes did I make before I passed the test? The bottle of old Moutai at home has been given away! My old man is anxious with me! That's it, I TM still have to spare the Xiaoqing sisters and give people Brother Huang Bai to play the moon. ”

"Brother Huang doesn't give the opening fee, Xiaoqing and the two of them are all paid by me!"

"You're so good, you disappeared for so many days without making a sound, and you have to put on a show as soon as you appear! It's only been lined up for three months, so don't be too long! ”

"Okay! Who are you? You TM is Brother Ye Zi! You're a big star! Big Coffee! Wherever you go, there are a bunch of SB bosses who take the money and beg you to go to the show one by one, and some of the big agents are waiting to follow behind your ass to wipe your shit and pee, my old Zhu TM is a fart! ”

"Master TM is no longer waiting, CAO!"

With a foul word, the phone clicked and hung up.

"Hehe, this old Zhu is still so quick-tempered!" Ye Zi looked at the mobile phone that had stopped talking, and couldn't help chuckling, and his depressed mood had improved a lot.

lit a cigarette and took a long puff, and after waiting for a while, Ye Zi dialed it again.

"Lao Zhu, are you done nagging? When the nagging is over, hurry up and get to work! Ye Zi chuckled softly.

On the other end of the phone, Lao Zhu said hatefully: "Master TM has said that he will not serve!" Love whoever you are! ”

Ye Zi scolded with a smile: "Isn't it just a bottle of old Moutai?" Look at the one that hurts you! I'll buy a bottle and pay it back to you another day. ”

"You TM said it lightly, that's the 86-year-old Moutai, don't you feel distressed if you change it? Also buy a bottle and return it to me. It's light to say, you TM went out to buy it! You ・・・・・・"

"That's a lot of nonsense! To do it or not to do it? Give me a good word! ”

Ye Zi knew his old partner's temper, and ignored him still talking to himself there, directly interrupting his continued nagging, and asked with a smile.

"Don't do it! Whoever loves to do it, TM does it! ”

"Hehe, Lao Zhu, if you really pick a son here, I'll call the horse monkey when I turn around, do you think the horse monkey ・・・・・・?"

"You dare!"

Before Ye Zi's words were finished, Lao Zhu hurriedly interrupted: "You TM know how to use that sycophant to force me, every time it's like this, CAO! TMD, did you owe you in your last life! ”

"I don't know if I owe it or not, but you have made a lot of money from me in the past ten years, and it must be enough to fill a small room if you buy Moutai, I know this."

Ye Zi changed his posture and said slowly.

“CAO！ No matter how much you earn, can you still earn more than you? The master showed up to pull a relationship for you, and this TM doesn't cost money? ”

"Hehe, I have to thank you for that?" Ye Zi teased.

Lao Zhu replied confidently: "Of course! Let's just say that this time, if it weren't for my Lao Zhu to stop and persuade me, Brother Huang would really find someone, and he would never lie to you. ”

"Yo yo yo, say you're fat, you're still panting!"

The voice on the phone immediately became anxious: "You TM go and inquire yourself, if this matter is not for me, ・・・・・・"

――――――――――

After talking nonsense with Lao Zhu, Ye Zi's mood was finally much easier.

Last time, it was really a last resort.

When Ye Zi had just completed four months of performing at Brother Huang's venue, the hundred-year-old wild ginseng he had asked someone to inquire about a while ago suddenly had news. For the 42-year-old Ye Zi, such news means that he finally has the third chance to hit the foundation in ten years.

Building a foundation? Yes, Ye Zi is a cultivator who is rare to see in this era of the end of the law.

――――――――――

Since the age of three, Ye Zi began to practice internal and external kung fu under the guidance of his grandfather, and after more than 20 years, he finally slowly touched the threshold of foundation building. It's just that the first two shocks in the past ten years have finally failed due to the lack of medicinal properties of the ginseng used. After summarizing, Ye Zi found that only wild ginseng that is more than 100 years old can achieve the effect.

Now, here's your chance.

Such an opportunity, Ye Zi could not miss it no matter what!

Hurrying back to Yanjing, Ye Zi poured everything he had, and auctioned a 120-year-old piece of wild ginseng at a high price of 800,000 yuan at the auction house, and then immediately retreated and began to prepare.

Providence makes people!

Although the medicinal properties of the 120-year-old wild ginseng met the requirements of Ye Zi, this third impact on the foundation building still failed in a millimeter!

Ye Zi still hasn't really set foot on the road of cultivation!

This is just like his acting career, which has gone through twists and turns, a hundred turns! Ye Zikong has a talent for songwriting and beautiful singing, but because of a copyright lawsuit 20 years ago, he has been suppressed and rejected by major companies led by Company X for the past 20 years, and he has not been able to get ahead, and finally can only find a place to live in the night market. If it weren't for the rise of online music in recent years, which has made his personal music studio useful, his situation would be even worse!

This time, Ye Zi fell down again at the most critical time in the cultivation that had always been the fulcrum of his life! All kinds of negative emotions such as frustration, chagrin, remorse, confusion, unwillingness, etc., lingered in Ye Zi's heart. For three days, he was like a walking corpse, lifeless.

It wasn't until tonight that the chaotic and lost mood gradually cleaned up, and the whole person had a little spirit. Ye Zi is ready to reorganize the rivers and mountains and start to accumulate strength for another impact in the future!

Preparing funds is of course the first step.

――――――――――

"Okay, okay, I know that your old Zhu has a big energy and a wide face, and you are the number one agent in the northern night club! I'll thank you when we meet, okay? Tell me, where are you going this time? ”

"Ji Province is definitely not good, Brother Huang is not angry yet, let's not mess with him."

Lao Zhu had obviously thought about it a long time ago: "Why don't you go to Gan Province this time." A few days ago, Mr. Zhou of the Lancheng Jiahao Grand Stage asked about your schedule, so I contacted him. But Xiaoyezi, isn't three months a little shorter? Can't it be any longer? ”

"Just three months!" Ye Zi vigorously snuffed out the cigarette butt, took a sip of water and affirmed: "I have other things to do in three months." If it matters, don't ask, and I won't tell you if I do. If you are a qiē shun lì, after this period, you can queue for as long as you want. ”

"Really? That's what you said! Lao Zhu said nervously: "Xiao Yezi, Brother Ye Zi!" Don't fool me! ”

Ye Zi smiled: "Really, Lao Zhu, it's fine after this period." ”

In his heart, Ye Zi silently prayed: I hope so!

After a little hesitation, Ye Zi continued: "Lao Zhu, Brother Huang was tired last time, so let's do it, I'll take 7 this time, and you can do the rest!" ”

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Lao Zhu hesitated.

"Yes." Ye Zi smiled freely: "Don't you know me after so many years?" Which time did I make you suffer Lao Zhu? That's it! Notify me when it's arranged. ”

"Hehehe, that's good!"

Lao Zhu was no longer polite, hung up the phone happily, and hurried to contact the business.

Originally, Lao Zhu's brokerage fee share was 15%, and after Ye Zi gave up the profits, he could get double the income, and he could earn an extra 1,500 yuan per performance. After three months, this money is also a lot, and of course he is very happy.

――――――――――

After arranging the next performance, Ye Zi threw his mobile phone aside, turned on the computer, called up the Sam music production platform software that he was most accustomed to, turned on the monitor speakers, connected the monitor headphones, and began to make the later stage of his new work.

Since this rush was unsuccessful, Ye Zi still has to turn his attention back to music, which is the field he relies on for his livelihood to make money. In the next period of time, Ye Zi will attack separately in the night scene and the music system and try to save money. No one knows when the next opportunity will come or how much money will be needed!

Three months later? Maybe.

Cultivating this path, once you set foot on it, it is too difficult to turn back!

――――――――――

An hour later, Ye Zi lit a cigarette again, put on the headphones DT880PRO Beyer Power that he had used for more than ten years, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and carefully listened to the work he had just finished from the headphones.

This is a very popular ancient style song in recent years, and Ye Zi was invited to compose the theme song for an online game. The lyrics are simple and bold, the melody is simple and catchy, Ye Zi's singing is deliberately improvised without embellishment, and after listening to the whole song, a heroic blood and a touch of sadness and loneliness come to the face.

Ye Zi was quite satisfied with this work, and the online game operator was full of praise after hearing the sample, and immediately made a decision. In a few days, it will be the day when the work will be delivered, but fortunately, Ye Zi has already finished recording the singing part before the retreat, and today he is ready to complete the later part of this work.

"Well, it's not bad overall. During the interlude, the cello on the left can be moved a little further to the middle, and the volume can be increased by 2~3 decibels, so that the echo will be more prominent. Would it be better to draw an auto control line with a gradual increase in volume? You can try it later. ”

While listening, Ye Zi considered perfecting the entire layout of the work, took a pen in his hand, and wrote down the main points of his thinking on the work memorandum one by one.

"I've got too many teeth, let it go a little more. The reverberation is a little louder, which affects the clarity of the sound, but the position of the sound is okay. Send and receive a little, and the delay can be a little more. Well? I didn't expect that this time the 8000hz was raised by 2.5 decibels, and the effect was so good, and the texture of the sound came out completely, which is really a bit of Dave/Pensado. Well, yes, yes, I can learn from it when I mix it in the future・・・・・・"

Ye Zi is completely immersed in the world of music.

Outside the window, a bright bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky.

On the horizon, thunder is rolling.
