Life is like a spinning top.

Xiao Fei sat at the banquet of a small-scale gathering in Hexi Province, and such a sentence popped up in his mind inexplicably.

Others are reborn, they are all light songs and dances, and when they make a fortune, they become famous, and they are as beautiful as a cloud, what about themselves? It's like rushing to the scene.

Today is the 18th of January, and it is also the tenth day of the first month of the old calendar year, as the saying goes, after Laba is the year, the Spring Festival of 1997 is coming.

Xiao Fei has received several calls from his brother Xiao Yang and brother-in-law Qian Guangwen in the past few days, asking when he will be back.

They were all in a hurry.

The twentieth day of January is the day of the scheduled opening of Feiyang Supermarket, and on the opening day, Qian Guangwen believes that Xiao Fei will come forward no matter what.

Because, when sending invitations to those heads and brains in the county, they were all sent in the name of Xiao Fei, and when it opened, Xiao Fei still had to do the work of receiving VIPs.

Xiao Fei hurried to catch up, and the work of Hanmo Company came to an end.

He decided that he had to go back on the 18th anyway.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yi heard that he was leaving, so he called him, saying that Xiao Fei was leaving, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to come a year ago, so let's get together in advance.

Zhang arranged this small-scale gathering in the Hexi circle. The people invited are all well-known figures in the Hexi literary world, of course, Yuan Yan was not invited.

Xiao Fei can't shirk this invitation.

He also wants to build a good relationship with these people. Maintain a good popularity.

There was no choice but to stay and attend this party.

Not only did he attend, but he also generously sponsored the gathering. The Writers' Association is a poor unit. Even the Provincial Writers' Association is poor and white, and Xiao Fei's sponsorship has won praise from the writers.

"Hah! Recently, this singer called 'Xiao Long' is really popular, the newspaper publishes his news almost every day, and many people are speculating about his identity, but no one knows who Xiao Long is, and no one has seen his true face in Lushan! ”

Wine table. A writer suddenly led the topic to Xiao Long.

This has sparked a heated discussion among many people.

Writers are also the group of people who pay the most attention to current affairs, and they like to read a newspaper to find writing materials or something.

And. They read the newspaper very carefully, and they can study an event that interests them for a long time.

Recently, there has been too much news about that mysterious Xiao Long in the newspapers. For no other reason, one is that the two most popular songs "Jing Zhong Serving the Country" and "Chinese" are sung by him.

The other is because. Xiao Long sang two popular songs, but he never appeared in public.

Even, even the CCTV Spring Festival Gala sent him an invitation, but Xiao Long bluntly refused.

The reason for the refusal was clumsy: unwell!

This makes many people in the entertainment industry crazy with jealousy, how many people sharpen their heads and desperately drill the camp, they can't even go to the last Spring Festival Gala!

The crew of the Spring Festival Gala sent him an invitation, but he refused.

Who is this Xiao Long?

For a while, rumors about Xiao Long were spreading, and many rumors were getting more and more evil.

Xiao Fei'an sat quietly at the table, listening to these writers gossip about themselves. Just laughing and not saying a word.

He felt a little bitter in his heart.

I seem to have played big this time.

The name Xiao Long has been so popular recently, and in Ren Gangyi's words, the alias Xiao Fei used is now popular all over the country.

The album that Xiao Fei recorded in the recording studio. More than 700,000 cassettes have now been sold, and CDs have sold more than 100,000.

And it's still on sale.

Looking at this trend, there will definitely be a sales peak around the Spring Festival, and it should be easy for album sales to exceed one million.

You know, by the end of the 90s, it was becoming more and more difficult to achieve million-level album sales.

Even a very famous singer can't sell a million just by releasing an album.

This one. It is said that it is inseparable from the rampant piracy. There is another reason, and that is the popularity of television. The diversification of entertainment methods has had a considerable impact on the sales of singers' albums.

In fact, the above factors, compared with the impact of the Internet on music in later generations, are all trivial.

Under the impact of the Internet, even the record industry is about to disappear in China!

If the album sells one million, then the album can be called a platinum record, and in this country, there are only a handful of singers who can achieve platinum sales!

Ren Gangyi told Xiao Fei that when the song "Chinese" rushed to the top of the pop gold song list, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team called him and asked him to tell Mr. Xiao Long that the Spring Festival Gala sincerely hoped that Xiao Long could sing at the party.

This is because the song "Chinese" is so appropriate.

On the occasion of Hong Kong's imminent return to the motherland in 1997, if singers from the two sides of the strait and four places sang the song "Chinese" at this year's Spring Festival evening, how commemorative it would be!

But Xiao Fei refused without thinking about it.

Later, the Spring Festival Gala program team contacted Ren Gangyi, saying that he wanted to use the song "Chinese", and Ren Gangyi asked Xiao Fei's opinion, and Xiao Fei naturally agreed.

If you don't go to the Spring Festival Gala and sing it, let others sing it, it's nothing.

Xiao Fei really doesn't want to be a singer anymore, and he doesn't want public opinion about Xiao Long to become more and more fierce. He was worried that he would be found out.

Therefore, at this party, listening to the writers discussing Xiao Long's affairs, Xiao Fei sat on the side, but felt very embarrassed.

It's a strange feeling to sit and listen to others talk about you.

At this moment, Xiao Fei's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Xiao Fei got up and went to the corridor outside the house to pick up the phone, but he didn't expect that the call turned out to be from Ren Gangyi.

"Xiao Fei, I'm in the Central Plains, what are you doing now?" Ren Gangyi asked.

"I'm having dinner with a bunch of friends, at the Garden Hotel, why didn't you come over without saying hello? So where are you now? Xiao Fei was surprised.

This Ren Gangyi actually ran away quietly, and only called himself after arriving in the Central Plains.

This sudden attack is really good enough.

"I'm at the Hexi Hotel, can you come to me later, let's talk?" Ren Gangyi said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Fei asked.

"It's a distressing good thing, I really don't know what to do, so I can only come over and discuss it with you." Ren Gangyi said with a wry smile.

"Okay then, I'll be over in a moment." Xiao Fei said.

Since the meeting was held at noon, it was not delayed much, and it ended at about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Fei said hello to Liu Zelai, and drove to the Hexi Hotel by himself. As soon as he saw Ren Gangyi, he said with a frantic face: "Xiao Fei, you say, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do? What the hell is going on? Xiao Fei's face was inexplicable.

"The Spring Festival Gala program team sent an assistant director to Hangzhou to find me and begged me to let Xiao Long accept the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala no matter what." Ren Gangyi said.

"Why don't you just refuse it? What are you still struggling with? It's not like I haven't refused before. Xiao Fei said with a smile.

Ren Gangyi pulled his hair and said bitterly: "The key is that the assistant director is my good friend and buddy who grew up playing with me since I was a child, and it is too difficult to reject him." ”

"I don't care about this, anyway, I will never appear at the Spring Festival Gala!" Xiao Fei said very resolutely.

"Help!" Ren Gangyi said pitifully.

"Nope! It's a matter of principle! Xiao Fei had no intention of compromising. Just kidding! If you appear at the Spring Festival Gala, it is estimated that it will not be long before your identity will be completely revealed, right?

Xiao Fei would never allow this kind of thing to happen! (To be continued)
