As soon as you get out of the south gate of the TV station, there is a famous cafΓ© nearby, and the location is at the mouth of an alley. More than a dozen meters away, you can smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, tempting passers-by to step into the slightly old and rough log gate.

Ye Zi and Zhang Lei sat face to face in the window seat of this cafΓ© called 1937, the order had been placed, and the coffee had not yet been delivered.

"Xiao Yezi, this time you should be the first, it's a pity!" Zhang Lei sighed with emotion.

"Is there a difference between the first and the tenth?" Ye Zi asked with a little disdain.

Zhang Lei nodded.

"That's right, it's all in the final anyway. But I originally thought that even if you couldn't get the first place, it should be that Liu Qi who got it. I've inquired, his teacher is the chairman of the judges this time, Li Huaitong you may not know much about this person, his students have always won the first place in competitions where he is a judge. ”

"It's not strange." Ye Zi said lightly: "I still know Li Huaitong, the director of the Opera and Dance Theater, who in the circle of Shencheng doesn't know Li Huaitong?" But Li Huaitong is not a fool, he is very clear. The background of this Jin Qiaozhen's origin is definitely not small, at least it exceeds the point that Li Huaitong can handle it casually, otherwise with Li Huaitong's arrogant and domineering character, where would he give up this first place so lightly! ”

"It seemsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· This should be the case you are talking about. Zhang Lei sighed: "Alas, this circle is too difficult to mix!" No one knows when a Jin Qiaozhen will pop up! ”

Ye Zi smiled slightly, and did not continue to dwell on this matter.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In fact, there are some deeper meanings, but Ye Zi didn't say it.

Li Huaitong's name, Ye Zi is not the first time to know. Ye Zi knows a lot about this giant in the Shencheng music scene and is wary.

This is a strong man who is well communicative, but also very skillful and capable, compared to Ye Zi's teachers Sun Yun and Ni Jun, Li Huaitong's thick black Cheng dΓΉ is not comparable to them.

Take today's events, for example. Li Huaitong took the initiative to send the first place to Jin Qiaozhen, firstly, to sell a face to the TV station, on the other hand, Li Huaitong had no need to compete for this ranking.

It's only the semi-finals. Just like Ye Zi said, there is no difference between the first and the tenth, except that it sounds nice, it has no substantive meaning. Even the first and fifth places in the Shencheng finals are the same, and they are just a battle for places. If there are no special changes, Ye Zi predicts that the first place in the Shencheng finals this time will be given to the TV station or other forces.

Only at the finals in Xiangjiang will this Dean Li really see the bayonet and completely show his "style".

The current concession not only completes the face of the TV station, but also wins a good reputation of fairness and justice to the outside world. And when it comes to the Xiangjiang finals, Li Huaitong will have enough chips to deal with all parties because of these two concessions.

Why not do such a good thing!

Li Huaitong's method of retreating into advance, Ye Zi had already seen it many times in his previous life!

Usually in those small competitions, Li Huaitong's arrogance and imperiousness are just the appearance of a big man like him. That kind of game is not worth Li Huaitong's waste of scheming, he can do whatever he wants.

With his status in the Shencheng music scene, it is a matter of course to say that there is no other.

"Hiss", Zhang Lei took a deep breath and sighed again: "Liu Qi is one, you are one, and now there is another Jin Qiaozhen." Alas, it seems that in this final, the chances of our people are getting smaller and smaller! ”

Ye Zi smiled: "That's not necessarily, but there are five places." ”

As he was talking, the coffee was just delivered, and Ye Zi picked up the cup with his hand: "By the way, I haven't had time to congratulate you on entering the finals, congratulations!" ”

After speaking, Ye Zi raised his glass and gestured, and then took a sip gently.

"Can you drink such bitter coffee?" Zhang Lei scratched his head, added some sugar cubes and milk, stirred it, and then took a sip of the cup.

In his previous life, Ye Zi liked to drink black coffee, and now he has also continued this habit. Seeing Zhang Lei's movements, Ye Zi shook his head: "You are really a tyrannical thing!" This is an authentic Colombian coffee made by hand using the traditional follicular method! Once you add these things, you won't be able to taste the true taste of Colombian coffee at all. ”

"What does that matter?" Zhang Lei smiled: "I don't care if it's a follicle or a follicle!" If you want me to drink coffee like you, it might as well be more enjoyable to drink. The coffee you drink is bitter to death, I can't stand it. ”

"Hey, hey!" Ye Zi rarely said a word of Shencheng. Originally, I wanted to despise Zhang Lei, but Ye Zi's Shencheng dialect has always been extremely non-standard, and the word "ζˆ†ε€§" sounds like "steel belly".

"You're 13 o'clock, you can't speak Shencheng well, are you still a Shencheng person?"

Zhang Lei almost squirted out the coffee, but quickly held back, swallowed the coffee, and then scolded with a smile.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."

The two drank coffee and chatted casually, and Zhang Lei led the topic to the purpose of coming here tonight.

"Xiao Yezi, no matter what the result of this competition is, you are definitely going to be popular! I've already recorded this new song of yours, and I've been listening to it just now. Didn't say it! The songs are well written and sung, it's amazing! I bet you that if this song doesn't go viral, I'll cut off your head! ”

"Hehe, come less!" Ye Zi put down the coffee cup and said with a smile: "Pour me less ** soup!" If you have any ideas, just say it. ”

"Then I'll just say it." Zhang Lei scratched his head again, and said with a smile: "When it was broadcast, Xia Ning said that this song "The Sound of the Waves" was written by yourself, and I was thinking at that time, Xiaoyezi, you are too talented!" ”

Ye Zi smiled and shook his head: "What's wrong with you today?" Going around and praising me non-stop. Have you praised enough now? If you've had enough of it, tell us what you think. You don't feel tired, I'm tired enough today, so I want to go back and rest early. ”

"Haha, I really think you wrote this song amazingly!" Zhang Lei cocked his thumb and gestured, and continued: "Okay, I'll just say it." ”

Zhang Lei put on a stern expression: "My idea is like this, that isΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Could you please write me a song as well? Hehe, that's a request. Xiaoyezi, can you help me with this? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lei immediately added: "It doesn't have to be as good as "The Sound of the Waves", just get by." Also, you don't have to be polite about the price, it should be as much as it should be, and I won't pay you back. ”

"Oh, write a new song for you? Yes, the price will be discussed later. But I'd like to ask, what is the purpose of your new song? Ye Zi replied casually, with a hint of playfulness.

"Really? That's great! Zhang Lei said happily: "Xiao Yezi, you are really a friend!" ”

"Whew!" Ye Zi leaned back in the chair: "Did you listen to what I just said?" I'm asking you, what is the purpose of your new song? A souvenir? Or is it Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·? ”

"A souvenir? Of course not! Zhang Lei's reaction was very strong: "I want to make a new song and see if there will be any chances." Isn't that what you're stimulating! ”

"It's all mine, it's not mine, I didn't say it." Ye Zi couldn't cry or laugh: "Then after you get the new song, what are you going to do?" ”

"How?" Zhang Lei hesitated slightly: "If you get a new song, you can find a place to record it, and then send it to the radio station after recording, right?" ”

"It's as simple as you say!" Ye Zi shook his head, stretched out his right hand, and put it on the table: "You listen to me and tell you about it." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"You're going to find a place to record, OK. So before recording, the new song must first find someone to be the arranger, right? Do you have such a candidate? ”

Ye Zi flexed the little finger of his right hand.

"If you want to record, you always need a sound engineer, right?"

Ye Zi flexed his ring finger.

"Recording studios are indispensable, aren't they?"

Ye Zi flexed his middle finger.

"If you need to use real instruments such as guitars and erhus in the orchestration, then the musicians also need them, right?"

Ye Zi continued to flex his index finger.

"Also, do you need a backup singer for the new song? Is there a suitable candidate? ”

Ye Zi's right hand had already clenched into a fist. Smiling, he put his left hand on the table as well.

Zhang Lei's face became more and more serious little by little with the question raised by Ye Zi.

"Once you've recorded it, how do you send it to the radio? Do you just go and deliver it yourself? That's definitely not going to get in. Have you figured out how to solve all these problems? ”

"Also, all of this qiΔ“ comes at a cost, are your funds ready? How many are prepared? Is it enough? ”

"OK, even if you're a qiΔ“ shun lΓ¬. So, if this new song is a success, what's next for you? What is the ultimate goal? How do I proceed? If the new song doesn't work, what do you think? Will it continue? ”

Ye Zi kept bending one finger at a time, and the questions were thrown at Zhang Lei one after another without pause.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I didn't think about it that much. Zhang Lei touched his head and smiled bitterly, a little dumbfounded.

Ye Zi nodded at Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei, these are all questions that really need you to consider!" You know you want a new song, but there's a lot going on, and it's not like having a new song will make everything go. ”

"I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I've saved 5,000 dollars, is it enough? Finding that things were not as simple as he imagined, Zhang Lei didn't want to miss this opportunity, hesitated for a while, and then asked softly carefully.

"Five thousand? That's a lot. Are you willing to use the money for a chance? Ye Zi said seemingly lightly: "There are some things I have to say in the front." I can write new songs for you, and I can guarantee the quality. However, will the new song be successful in the endΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I can't guarantee that. ”

After speaking, Ye Zi took a sip of coffee, then leaned lightly on the back of the chair and carefully observed Zhang Lei's expression.

Zhang Lei lowered his eyelids, and the small spoon in his hand unconsciously pulled the coffee in the cup, thinking devotedly. His expression still looked quite calm, but his slightly disorganized breathing could tell the turmoil in his heart.

Although Zhang Lei has been running at night for more than half a year, with a daily salary of more than 100 yuan, there should be an income of tens of thousands of yuan in a year, which is definitely a high income in the current Shencheng. However, the income of the night club is extremely unstable, and you may make thousands of dollars at once this month, and maybe you will lose a penny next month. This is determined by the nature of the night scene, and Ye Zi has a deep understanding of this. For a night singer like Zhang Lei, who is just starting to make money, it is not so easy to make such a decision to take out a few thousand yuan to fight for a chance that I don't know if I can succeed.

When Zhang Lei was thinking, Ye Zi observed Zhang Lei's reaction and made arrangements in his heart.

Zhang Lei is a good friend, since he has the desire to move forward further, and his talent is also good, Ye Zi is of course willing to help him.

But it's not an easy road!

In this world, there are too many people who sing well! And singing well is only one of the conditions for success, and it is not the main one!

Ye Zi is a human being in two lives, and his experience of this point is too profound!

In his previous life, Ye Zi was talented and talented, and he was recognized by everyone as a genius in the music world. But what about the end? Because after the release of the first album, he was unwilling to be deprived of his hard work, so he resolutely fought a copyright lawsuit with the record company he signed with. The lawsuit was won, and the ten works that were occupied for nothing were finally taken back, but the upward channel of the singing career was completely blocked by these predators, and Ye Zi could only make a living at night! If he hadn't been reborn and returned, he would have only been able to disappear into oblivion among all living beings with his full talent.

Look at Zhang Lei again. Zhang Lei's talent is not top-notch, but the treble is very good. If such a talent condition wants to fight a bloody way out of thousands of troops, it will obviously be more difficult. Without tenacious determination and firm faith, it will never work!

Ye Zi had to see Zhang Lei's determination before he could make the final decision.

If Zhang Lei just played tickets or made one or two songs speculatively, Ye Zi would also help him. But that's just to help him make a song casually, and he won't be too careful.

If Zhang Lei really has this determination and perseverance, Ye Zi's help will also change.

It is impossible for Ye Zi to hand over a new song to Zhang Lei very lightly, that is not helping him, that is harming him! And the weight of these "new songs" is also disposed of arbitrarily by Ye Zi!

A qiΔ“ depends on Zhang Lei himself!
