Saturday, 18 July 1992. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Ye Zi, accompanied by Wen Wen and Yutai Wenhui, drove to the Shencheng Music Bookstore, which is located near the mass square in the center of the city. As soon as he crossed Jiangnan Road, he saw the five-story Western-style building on the west side of Middle Tibetan Road in the shade of the road trees from a distance, and Ye Zi's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Founded in 1961, this largest music bookstore in China was once a music mecca for Ye Zi to linger in his previous life. When he was in Shencheng, Ye Zi would come here every few days, even if he didn't buy anything, he would go up and take a walk around to feel the unique music atmosphere and historical accumulation in the store.

The first genuine tape, "Actually, You Don't Understand My Heart" by Taihai singer An Ge, Ye Zi bought it here, and the price at that time was 11.8 yuan Huaxia coins.

The first genuine CD record, MJ's "BAD", Ye Zi also bought it here. At that time, he already had a box of pirated tape albums that he bought for 10 yuan, but out of respect for MJ, he went out of his way to buy a genuine CD and collect it. The CD was sold for as much as 180 yuan at the time, and was issued by the Huaxia Book Import and Export Company.

The first classical guitar, the Kapok brand, Ye Zi also bought it in the musical instrument department on the third floor of the music bookstore. The sound quality of this guitar is very good, Ye Zi has been using it for many years, and the price at that time was 300 yuan Huaxia coins, which is a mid-to-high-end instrument.

Even...... The first "A. film", Ye Zi was also quietly lured to buy it by a pile driving mold in a store. In the men's toilet on the second floor of the store, the piling mold secretly turned out a colorful disc with white thighs exposed from the inner pocket of his clothes and stuffed it to Ye Zi, which cost him a full 80 yuan, but when he went home, it was just a swimsuit MTV, so angry that Ye Zi scolded.

And also...... The first classical guitar score, the first time I listened to a musician's lecture for free, the first time I was exposed to HIFI speakers, the first time I was blown away by the visual sound effects of a DVD, etc., etc., so many firsts are inextricably linked here. In the first half of Ye Zi's music career, Shencheng Music Bookstore occupied an extremely important position. It wasn't until Ye Zi left Shencheng for Yanjing, and it wasn't until ten years later (2002) that Shencheng Music Bookstore had to move to a new location due to municipal projects, and Ye Zi's connection with this place slowly faded.

In Ye Zi's heart, the music bookstore after the relocation has completely lost the kind of historical precipitation that belongs to her, and is slowly similar to other music bookstores that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and only the five-story building on the west side of Zangxi Middle Road hidden in the shade of the road trees can really be called the sacred music palace in Ye Zi's mind.

This time, when discussing the location of the album signing event, Ye Zi did not hesitate to abandon the larger and more magnificent music department of Shencheng Bookstore on Jiangnan Road, as well as several other alternative stores, and directly set the location here.

In this life, Ye Zi hopes that he can be here, in this most sacred music palace in his heart, and officially begin to truly express his own voice in the Chinese music scene!

……

It's still early, there is still a full hour before the music bookstore opens at 9 o'clock, and there is still an hour and a half before Ye Zi's signing starts at 9:30, but looking out of the car window, there are already many young figures gathered at the door of the music bookstore. Some of them were talking in twos and threes, some were eating flatbread fritters bought by the way, and more of them ran to the upper curb of the road and took turns to take photos with Ye Zi's huge three-story poster behind them.

Among these young people, there were even a few middle-aged men and women, which made Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui quite surprised. The album signing of pop singers, the appearance of middle-aged people is extremely rare, and they have long passed the age of chasing stars. But now, not only did they show up, but they also came here early, waiting with the young people.

Ye Zi shook his head slightly, a little puzzled in his heart, but of course more of course it was joy.

The car made a detour and quietly parked near the back door. Wen Wen got out of the car first to inquire about the situation, but did not find the fans, so he quickly rushed into the back door with Ye Zi.

It's the height of summer, and although it's still morning, the power of the sun is already on display. In such a short period of time, after rushing into the storefront, Wen Wen was already sweating, but Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui were calm.

"Brother Wen, you have to exercise, this body ...... Not really. Ye Zi pointed to the sweat on his neck and joked casually.

Wen Wen shook his head: "It's to exercise, but ...... Xiao Yezi, it's too hot in Shencheng, right? ”

"Is there one? I think it's okay. ”

"It's hot today," said Wenhui with a smile, "I listened to the weather forecast in the morning, and today's maximum temperature may exceed 37 degrees, and this kind of weather is prone to accidents." Aven, you should keep an eye on this aspect today. ”

"Let's go, let's go upstairs."

The resting place is in the office area on the fourth floor, and the music bookstore has prepared a conference room for him, Chen Yichen, Zhang Lei and others, and the air conditioning has already been fully turned on. Not long after he sat down, there was a gentle knock on the door of the conference room, and Yuan Sujuan, the current manager of the music bookstore, walked in.

"Our big singer is here, welcome!" Far away, Yuan Sujuan took the initiative to stretch out her hand.

Ye Zi, Yutai Wenhui and Wen Wen got up at the same time: "Sister Yuan, don't tease me anymore, where am I a big singer." ”

"Eh~~~ You're a big singer! The young man in Alashen City, if he has the ability, he has the ability, but he is not so modest. Yuan Sujuan shook hands with Ye Zi, Tai Wenhui and Wen Wen respectively: "Come on, come on, sit down and say." ”

"President Yutai, it's still early, you guys take a rest first. We have already prepared the layout of the signing venue according to your requirements, and I will arrange for someone to invite you when the time comes. ”

Yu Taiwen bowed his head lightly: "Thank you Manager Yuan for your great assistance." ”

"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." Yuan Sujuan was quite polite: "President of Tangtai, you see...... Is there anything else we need to do now? ”

For Ye Zi's album signing this time, Yuan Sujuan attaches great importance to it. Since she was appointed manager the year before last, she has made a series of changes to the business policy of the music bookstore, which has added some pro-people flavor to the overly elegant aristocratic temperament in the past, and is no longer as high as before.

The album signing of the pop singer is another attempt by Yuan Sujuan. She hopes that through Ye Zi's signing event, more pop singers can choose Shencheng Music Bookstore to promote their albums, so that the music bookstore will have more weight and influence among the growing number of pop fans in Shencheng, instead of being held down by the store department of the Book Import and Export Company in this regard.

Therefore, this time, in addition to making concessions in terms of venue fees, Yuan Sujuan also met all the requirements of Wenhui Entertainment, and the two sides cooperated quite well. In this regard, Wenhui and Shu Yi are also very satisfied.

"Manager Yuan, when we came up just now, we took a look from the first floor to the third floor, and the signing table and the layout of the store were very good, we are very satisfied with this, thank you Manager Yuan." Tai Wenhe smiled: "But...... There is also a little thing I would like to ask Manager Yuan for a favor. ”

"Please."

"I listened to the weather forecast before I went out, and there will be high temperatures today." Tantai Wenhui frowned slightly, and said seriously: "If nothing else, Ye Zi's signing will attract a large number of fans to participate, and now there are already many fans gathered outside the door, and the number of fans will definitely be more after the signing begins." This is of course a good thing, but it's easy for something unexpected to happen in such a hot weather, so ......"

"I see." Without waiting for Wenhui to finish speaking, Yuan Sujuan already understood what she meant: "President of Tangtai, do you want us to help prevent heatstroke and cool down the fans?" ”

"That's what it means." Tantai Wenhui nodded: "Our company has too few people, and we are not familiar with the surrounding environment, so we can only ask Manager Yuan to help us." Of course, we will pay for the purchase of tea and other expenses, and our employees will also work with your staff when they come later. ”

"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, and it doesn't cost much money." Yuan Sujuan smiled slightly: "You can go to the tiger stove in the alley opposite, and then we will buy some tea, and use a few large buckets to brew tea and put it there for fans to drink." Also, the book signing was held on the third floor, so I could try to arrange for the fans to come into the store, and when the time comes, I will turn on all the air conditioners in the store, and I think it should be about the same."

"Manager Yuan, is there anything like a parasol in the store, such a big sun, I'm afraid that tea may not be enough, and it is impossible to put too many fans in the store, and the order of fans must be maintained." Tantai Wenhui is still not very relieved.

Yuan Sujuan smiled: "These things are not available in the store, and they are actually not needed." The president may not have noticed that there are rows of big trees in front of our music bookstore, and fans are lining up in the shade of the trees, and there is not much sun. In addition to arranging tea for them to drink, I will prepare some heatstroke prevention medicines such as Ten Drops of Water, Rendan, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, as long as we pay more attention at any time, it should not be a big problem. Besides, I also reported to my superiors and asked the police from the mass square police station to come and help maintain order, so it would be more appropriate. ”

"That's ......" Yutai Wenhui thought back to the scene she had just seen and nodded: "Then listen to you." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll arrange these things." Yuan Sujuan took over this matter with great confidence, and then said: "But President Yutai, the manpower in our store is definitely not enough, and the employees of your company may still have to come to assist at that time." ”

Tantai Wenhui immediately said: "Of course, there is no problem, there are not many employees in our company, but there will be more than 30 backbone members of the fan club coming over today, I will ask someone to bring them over to find you, if there is anything Manager Yuan told them to do, their work today will all be arranged by you." ”

"That's good, then you guys take a rest, I'll go and arrange things first." Yuan Sujuan is also a resolute personality, and immediately got up and went out. (To be continued.) )
