Chapter 61: From the Beginning to the Present (Part I)
"Twelve cities on the fifth floor?" Cao Zihuan tried to recall, but he didn't have any impression, and asked, "What is that?" ”
"Ning Qingzhou's pen name, a very successful online author under Wending, is known as the 'great god' in the online novel industry."
"Oh, what income level?"
"The manuscript fee ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 yuan per month, plus various adaptations such as games, comics, and publishing, and the income is not less than 2 million in a year." Sima Zhongda's answer was fluent.
"Two million?" Cao Zihuan was a little confused, "Two million is he content?" If he enters Jian'an, I will let him earn two million with one advertisement. ”
Sima Zhongda said with a smile: "Mr. Cao doesn't know, two million is indeed a drop in the bucket for our Jian'an, but for a little boy who came out of the town, it is a huge amount of money, at least in his eyes, he has those two million, it is enough to say 'no' to anyone, enough to provide him with sufficient capital to 'make money and things'." Sima Zhongda made a gesture and explained: "This 'wealth' is the 'wealth' of wealth." ”
Cao Zihuan nodded understandingly, and said, "Then it's no wonder, I said that there is no one who doesn't look at money now." Zhongda, tell me what you think. ”
Sima Zhongda said: "Before I talk about my thoughts, I have to introduce a small background to Mr. Cao, this 'Fifth Floor Twelve Cities' also has a pen name in Shujian, called 'Zili Rebirth', but this pen name is not famous, and the books written are not profitable. ”
"Zhou Chenghao's investment book, I know this, Ji Zhong told me."
"Well, my mind is on the book sword."
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Cao may not pay much attention to the online novel, and I also made up the relevant information for the sake of Ning Qingzhou, as far as I know, the current pattern of online literature websites belongs to the situation where Shujian is dominant, and other websites share the soup from the side, and that winning is in front of Shujian, it is not enough to see, so I think we can make some articles about Wending through Guò Shujian, and give Ning Qingzhou a salary from the bottom of the kettle."
Cao Zihuan had fully understood what Sima Zhongda meant, smiled deeply, and said, "He lost his income dependence, so his attitude should not be so resolute, right?" ”
Sima Zhongda smiled and nodded.
"But then again, he's really a talent, he can write and sing."
"yes, so I'm afraid Shujian doesn't mind being a 'black knight' for a while."
Cao Zihuan groaned for a moment and said, "I'll ask Zhou Chenghao to play golf this weekend." Oh, Zhongda, how did you find out about these things? ”
Sima Zhongda said: "It's also a coincidence, one of my nephews knows him." ”
Cao Zihuan bowed his head and said, "But this is not in a hurry, let's look at his table on the 'Voice of Shenzhou' first." ”
Just when Sima Zhongda and Cao Zihuan were discussing how to draw money from Ning Qingzhou's bottom of the kettle, the latter was now with Chen Qianfan, accompanying Jiang Jianzhong to drink in a bar next to Xinhai University.
Ning Qingzhou and Chen Qianfan thought that he didn't want to show his fragile side in front of the three girls, and he was deliberately restraining his feelings, but this kind of restraint accumulated for a long time was a potential harm to the mind, and once it collapsed one day, the consequences were unpredictable.
Therefore, Ning and Chen decided to help Ning Qingzhou open the valve in advance, so that he could release the negative energy that was accumulating deeper and deeper in his heart as soon as possible. However, to the disappointment of the two, a dozen beers were almost finished, and Jiang Jianzhong did not show any special feelings, calm as water in an ancient well, which was too weird.
When he went back, Chen Qianfan even doubted: "Is it because he talked to Sister Qin that day, so his heart has slowly let go, and it is not as complicated as we thought." ”
"Want to make a fart, if he really wants to, he'll promise us to come out for a drink on a weekday? He just deliberately said that he was normal, so he seemed abnormal. Ning Qingzhou had seen many similar examples, so he firmly believed that Jiang Jianzhong was pretending.
"So what to do, he closed himself tightly, as if he was invulnerable, and we couldn't do anything."
"There's always a way." Ning Qingzhou said.
……
On May 10th, the day when he won the publication fee, Ning Qingzhou took nearly one million in the manuscript fee and royalties, and in the evening he invited everyone to have a big meal with his index fingers.
Because of Jiang Jianzhong and Cao Yuqin's matter, the atmosphere of the Penglai six-member group has been a little strange recently, when they mix together, they are not as presumptuous as before, which makes everyone feel slightly awkward, but this kind of love is really an antelope hanging horns, there is no trace, Jiang Jianzhong's appearance is good, he should eat and drink, and he did not deliberately put on his face to affect the mood of others, you said that he has feelings in his heart, but people are willing to hold back, you can't persuade people to "cry out".
"This is what I'm most afraid of, what I'm most afraid of, Zhouzhou, you must find a way to help me get it."
Halfway through the meal, Cao Yuqin couldn't stand this awkwardness and secretly sent a text message to Ning Qingzhou.
Ning Qingzhou glanced at it quietly, and was about to reply, when Cao Yuqin's second text message came: "I said before that I am not afraid of hardship, tiredness, poverty, or getting old, and I am afraid that a few of us will break up inexplicably one day." ”
Ning Qingzhou thought for a moment and replied, "Sister Qin, don't worry, I can handle it." ”
The next day, the Stray Cats received a notice from the Voice of China program team that the three recordings they had sent had been reviewed by the Guò program team, and they would rush to Beijing before May 15 to participate in the blind audition of mentors.
This year's four mentors, except for Cai Wenji, who replaced Gan Qian, the other three mentors are the same as the previous two seasons: Kong Wenju, the lead singer of the former legendary band Seven Sons Band, Yang Dezu, a famous musician in Jian'an, and Zuo Zhengping, a godfather-level music producer in Xiangcheng.
Two days later, Ning Qingzhou and the Stray Cat Band went to Beijing to participate in the recording of the blind audition of the mentor of "The Voice of China", Jiang Hanxue, Cao Yuqin, Huang Li, Chen Qianfan and Jiang Jianzhong also went to Beijing together, and they will participate in the live recording as Ning Qingzhou's family and friend group.
The recording time of the Stray Cat Band is at ten o'clock in the morning on May 16th, the audience starts to enter at eight o'clock, and the admission is completed at half past eight, and then the on-site director will conduct a simple training for the audience, in addition to talking about the basic system, mainly to agree on some interactive gestures, such as how to cheer, how to applaud, how to coax, in addition to the instructor when telling jokes, try to cooperate with laughter and so on.
At ten o'clock, the show officially began, and after the host's opening remarks, the mentors appeared one after another to greet the audience, and then turned around, and the blind audition began immediately.
The third season of "The Voice of China" compared with the first two seasons, still made some small adjustments, among which the biggest impact on the mentor is that their students will change from the previous 14 to 12, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the four mentors to turn around, the most direct response is that in yesterday's one-day recording, only three students got the mentor's turn.
Today's scene is equally cruel, the first five players on the stage all returned home, and the chairs of the mentors seem to have been immobilized by Sun Wukong.
The Stray Cats Band appeared for the sixth time, because they had a little fame on the Internet before, and when they appeared, there was a burst of cheers from the scene, and the four mentors were also curious, or pretended to be curious, and exchanged glances with each other.
Ning Qingzhou's relatives and friends led by Jiang Hanxue were apprehensive, and now they were extremely nervous, Chen Qianfan said: "Wait for the mentor to turn around, we will go over and pull them over." ”
At this time, Ning Qingzhou had already stood in front of the microphone and said, "From the beginning to the present" is for everyone. ”
The four mentors whispered, "What song?" Is it original? ”
The melodious piano prelude sounds, and the contestant begins to sing:
If this is the final ending
Why can't I forget you?
Time has changed, and we have said goodbye to innocence
……
As soon as these three sentences were sung, Kong Wenju, Yang Dezu and Cai Wenji slapped the turn button almost at the same time.
