Chapter 314
Leon looked at Ye Zheng and exclaimed: "I like many of his works, I really hope to have the opportunity to communicate with him, and I also hope that he can write a song for our old cat band." Regarding Ye Zheng's terrifying creative ability, Mr. Rondo, let me tell you a very shocking piece of news......"
"Huh? What the? Rondo wondered. Yesterday I met Henry at a bar and drank together, and this guy didn't drink too much and told me a very amazing thing. When it came to this, Leon's face still had an unbelievable look: "At the beginning, they went to Ye Zheng to compose a song with the mentality of trying it out, but they didn't inform it in advance, they only said that they were visiting." The thing that asked him to compose a song was only said after meeting Ye Zheng. Then, Ye Zheng spent less than half an hour to create that song, which made Henry and each of them feel amazing, and immediately decided to make the title song of the album. β
"Half an hour?" Rondo was also taken aback. "For half an hour, that kid patted his chest and assured me that there was no exaggeration!" Leon said, "Sounds unbelievable, right? I also find it unbelievable, even if it is a complete song score, it will take about ten minutes, right? It took half an hour to compose and write a song, and the quality reached a height that impressed Henry and the others, and this kind of thing was like a dream. β
Looking at Rondo's surprised expression, Leon felt that he probably had this expression yesterday, and continued: "Moreover, yesterday he drank too much and hummed a few verses to me. β
"Oh? What do you think? Rondo said impatiently.
Leon smiled and shrugged: "That guy is drunk, he sings indistinctly, and it sounds like a good melody, but I didn't hear a word of what he sang." I'd also like to know what this song looks like, and we'll probably hear it later. "You don't want to hear it." Rondo said, only to sigh softly after speaking.
There is only one way to hear a song in the competition at the American Music Awards, and that is when the four songs that win the best song in the four categories will be performed on the stage as a show. Therefore, as long as the singer is invited, he will prepare in advance and perform on stage after winning the award. It's an honor and a really good promotion opportunity for the song.
Only those who win awards can sing on stage, Leon means that he thinks that the Gray Sparrow Band will probably win the award, and Rondo certainly hopes that the Old Cat Band will win the award, but the news from within the judging team faintly pointed out that the winner of the best song should not be the Old Cat Band, and the song created by Ye Zheng for the Gray Sparrow Band is burdened with too many mysterious and legendary colors, which makes some people speculate that it is likely that this song will win the best song in the pop rock category.
"It's almost over, the country music awards are coming to an end, and now there's the pop rock category, and I'm really looking forward to hearing this song now." Leon is very open-minded. I have experienced this kind of award event a lot, and I don't think much about whether I win or not. Especially with an authoritative award like the American Music Awards, if your song is of good quality, it should be yours. If it's not yours, it means that the quality of your song is not as good as the one that won the award.
Everyone compares the real hard power, and it is meaningless to complain meaninglessly, it is better to relax and accept the result, and if you don't win an award, you can enjoy the performance. Of course, there are not many people who can have a calm mentality like Henry, and the Old Cats have won countless accolades and have stepped on the stage of the American Music Awards many times, so naturally they don't have to care too much. But for many people, they dream, look forward to, be nervous, and be apprehensive...... The same thing has different values in people's hearts because everyone has different identities and different mentalities. The rich would probably throw a bite of bread in the trash without caring and complain that the bread tasted impure; The homeless on the street will pick it up and eat it as if they had found it, glad they don't have to go hungry tonight.
Julia was lying flat on her bed, her assistant Jacqueline holding a tablet in front of her eyes, and the tablet was playing live from the American Music Awards. Julia is an actress who also loves to sing, and watching the American Music Awards has been a good habit she has developed since she was a student. This time in Houston, in addition to some personal things, she also plans to buy a ticket to the American Music Awards to watch it live. I didn't expect this accident to happen, and I could only watch it through the Internet.
"It's almost time for the pop-rock awards?" Giulia asked. The doctor had just done some sanitizing to her wound before Jacqueline could come over with her tablet. "Come on, there's your favorite Grey Sparrow Band here! Maybe they'll win the award! Jacqueline laughed. Hush! Be quiet, otherwise it will be miserable to be heard by someone in the company.
We are Ameir artists, and we should support the Old Cats! Zhu Jilia smiled and said: "However, the uncles of the Old Cat Band are too vicissitudes of life and not handsome at all!" How can our captain Henry be handsome? "Even celebrities have their own idols, and Julia was a fan of the Grey Sparrow when she never debuted. And the handsome and steady Captain Henry is her idol. It just so happens that Jacqueline is also a fan of the Grey Sparrows. The two of them watched the live broadcast of the American Music Awards, in fact, they were all going to the pop rock awards, but before they arrived, they didn't say anything else.
"Have you thanked the person who saved me that day?" Giulia asked. Thinking about the events of that day, she still had palpitations, and the doctor said that as long as the knife went two centimeters deeper, she would probably never wake up. If the person who sent her late or careless touches the knife, it can also have serious consequences. It was a life-saving grace, and Julia was grateful, saying, "In any case, when I am discharged from the hospital, I must go and thank them in person." β
"This, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." Jacqueline said: "We have already thanked them, and we were going to give them 10,000 yuan, which is also hush money. But they didn't, and promised not to say anything about it. Truly thank goodness we met such a good person, an angel sent by God! But I talked to them a few words, and they seem to have come from Huaxia and will be back in a few days.
I called them when you woke up this morning and they were still in Houston. But I don't know now. "Then I'll call them tomorrow." Jugillia said. "yes, okay." Jacqueline nodded, and the two of them talked, and the awards of the American Music Awards went to the pop rock category. After the awards for Best Male Singer and Best Female Singer, it was the best band and group, and Giulilia and Jacqueline looked at the screen of the tablet and nervously muttered: "Gray sparrows, gray sparrows, my dear gray sparrows......"
"The winner of the best band and group at this American Music Awards is ......" host Emmerceline deliberately sold off, and then announced with a smile: "The Gray Sparrows!" β
"Boom!" Jacqueline waved her arm excitedly, then was stunned, and quickly pressed Julia, who was about to wave her arm in celebration: "Don't move, let's be quiet, otherwise the doctor will scold us to death." β
The Grey Sparrows happily took the stage to accept the award, and then the best album "HotelCalifornia" finally won the award! The five gray sparrows, who had just stepped off the podium, once again stepped onto the podium with applause and took home the second trophy.
Cao Cao cautiously glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Old Cai, this is not a place to talk, why don't we go home first and talk in detail!" By the way, I also informed Lord Wang and them to discuss this matter together, so that there are many people and great strength, so that they can find a way to deal with Shichang together. β
Cai Yong nodded and said appreciatively: "It's still Meng De who thinks thoughtfully, let's go home and talk first!" Then Cai Yong returned to the car, and Yun Bin looked at Cao Cao with a gloomy face, turned around and said, "Prepare to leave, follow Cao Cao, behind Lord Cao Mengde." After Cao Cao instructed to invite someone, Cao Cao approached Yun Bin with a warm smile on his face, and said cordially: "I don't know the name of the little brother Gao!" β
Yun Bin was not good at revealing his originally gloomy face, and he also pretended to be friendly, and said with a smile: "The younger brother's surname is Yun Mingbin!" Zihan of the word. The first time I came to Luoyang, I would like to ask Lord Meng De to take care of me! Hahahahaγγγ"
Cao Cao's bold size, but his eyes secretly looked at Guan Yu, patted Yun Bin's shoulder, and said: "You and I hit it off at first sight, so it's better to be called brothers in the future!" It's rusty to call me Lord Mengde! Call me Mengde, it looks kind like this, what do you think? β
Yun Bin didn't know that Cao Cao spied on Guan Yu, it seems that he has paid attention to Guan Yu, in history, Cao Cao admires and cherishes Guan Yu! Worship to the point that the beard has to be kept like Guan Yu, and cherish the hard work to get the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, but unfortunately in the end, even if he sends gold, power, and the beautiful Diao Chan, he can't keep Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, in the current history of change, Cao Cao still paid attention to Guan Yu at first sight, but ignored the mighty Zhang Fei on the side, it seems that the fate of Cao Cao and Guan Yu cannot be changed! Yun Bindao will not worry that Guan Yu will be abducted by Cao Cao, because Guan Yu is a loyal person and will not abandon himself because of Cao Cao's temptation.
Yun Bin naturally took Cao Cao's hand and said with a smile: "Why not?" Brother Cao, little brother is polite! Hahahahaγγγ" Cao Cao also grabbed Yun Bin's hand and said kindly: "It's been hard along the way, dare to ask Zihan why he came to Luoyang?" Why are you still with Cai Lao? Tell me about it. β
If other people meet such an enthusiastic Cao Cao, they must feel deeply away from home and relatives, I am afraid that the eighteenth generation of the ancestors will turn it out and tell Cao Cao, but unfortunately Cao Cao met Yun Bin, who is young on the outside but an old monster on the inside! Yun Bin said unhurriedly: "I came to Luoyang to get a fame, and I happened to meet Cai Lao on the road, so I came to Luoyang together." β
Cao Cao glanced at Yun Bin in surprise, although Yun Bin's words were simple, but it showed that Yun Bin's artistic realm of speaking was very high, and he did not reveal any information that was beneficial to Cao Cao, and the whole paragraph did not leak, so that Cao Cao could not ask what happened! Cao Cao said secretly: "This young man is not simple! It's not like it's calm, what kind of teenager is this? It's just an old man. β
Cao Cao turned around and said to Mo Yuan and the others: "Thank you for your hard work, I will arrange a few tables of wine and food in the inn to treat you later." Mo Yuan and the others were overjoyed, in the past few days, they have eaten and slept in the open air, and they have eaten dry food, and their mouths have long faded out of the birds, and they all shouted excitedly when they heard Cao Cao's reward. Yun Bin secretly sneered: "Cao Cao, don't think that you can buy my brothers with a small meal, they are all good friends and good brothers who I grew up with, how can those ordinary subordinates be compared." β
Yun Bin pretended to be grateful and said, "Then I will represent my brothers, thank you Brother Cao for your hospitality!" Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Little meaning, what is there to thank you for!" I don't know if this strong man saw that Cao Cao finally paid attention to Zhang Fei, Yun Bin smiled and said: "This is my second brother Zhang Fei, the word Yide!" Second brother, Brother Cao wants to get to know you! β
Zhang Fei's leopard eyes and tiger whiskers trembled, and he looked fierce and vicious, and said nonchalantly: "This is to know me!" It is really hypocritical to want to know the eldest brother, but to make such a big turn. Hum! Cao Cao didn't show any embarrassment, and said naturally and calmly: "Zhang Zhuangshi is right, Meng De has fallen down!" Meng De really wanted to get to know Senior Brother Yun, lest he be too reckless and anxious, and it would be bad to attract the dissatisfaction of Senior Brother Yun! Since Zhang Zhuangshi has pointed it out, I also happened to take this opportunity to get to know Elder Brother Xiayun, can I? β
Guan Yu didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a mind, and now that he is in someone else's territory, Guan Yu is not easy to show a dissatisfied look, and said calmly: "Yes!" However, Guan is now guilty, and it is not good for fear of causing trouble to adults, my brother has always been straight, and he doesn't know how to measure, so please don't be surprised by adults. β
Cao Cao took Guan Yu's hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yun has an extraordinary temperament, I don't think he is a person who does evil, there must be something hidden to be like this!" Although my official position Cao Mengde is not very big, it should be able to help Elder Brother Yun clear his name. As for Brother Ling, a bold and righteous man, he is the person I deserve to get acquainted, how can I be surprised? It's only because I'm in the middle of the court that I have developed this hypocritical appearance, and I have no choice but to do so! Please also ask Zhang Zhuangshi not to be strange. β
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Zhang Fei, who was originally disgusted and disdainful of Cao Cao, suddenly made a 360-degree change to Cao Cao, and his expression eased, and said, "I didn't expect you to be involuntarily!" I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly! Hahahahaγγγ"
Yun Bin had to admire Cao Cao's ability! not only resolved the embarrassment, but also perfectly won Zhang Fei's favor, and by the way, he narrowed the distance between him and Guan Yu. How many of these skills can be found in the Three Kingdoms? Historically, the alliance of the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, because the people's hearts were like scattered sand, no one obeyed anyone, or Cao Cao alone balanced the alliance army, so that the alliance army could continue to maintain, although the alliance army was dispersed in the end, but Cao Cao can not be blamed, only Yuan Shao's incompetence can be blamed, which led to the alliance army that was finally balanced, and the situation that Dong Zhuo was not completely defeated, collapsed and finally, under the leadership of Cao Cao, came to Cai Yong's house unhindered, only to see that the scale of this house is okay, although it is not very large, and the decoration is relatively simple, But it is quaint and full of serenity and serenity. Entering the house, the furnishings inside are also very simple and idle, which shows Cai Yong's honest style.
Cai Yan was sent back to the boudoir by the servants who were waiting early, but Cai Yong took Cao Cao Yunbin into the study, while Guan Yu and the others were left in the living room and served with tea. When I entered the study, the first impression was the book, the second impression was the aroma of the book, and the third impression was elegant! The three simple impressions summed up everything in the study, the mountains of books, and the plum blossom branches sticking out of the study window, simple and clear to the extreme, Yun Bin couldn't help but think a little evilly: "This old guy doesn't hide his treasure anywhere, he carries a candle to count the money every night!" β
"Mengde, tell me, what happened? Why did the imperial court move the decree to establish a city tax? At this time, Cai Yong sat on the main seat and said majestically.
Cao Cao also seemed to be shocked by Cai Yong's might, bowed his head slightly and said: "The emperor thinks that the leopard room is not spacious enough to enjoy it, so he wants Zhang Rang to find a way to expand the leopard room!" And Zhang let the guy know that the treasury had no money, so he instigated the emperor to set up this entry tax to increase the revenue of the treasury. β
"Smack!" Cai Yong was furious, slapped the table made of unknown wood, and scolded: "This damn eunuch! Knowing that the country is now in turmoil, and still come up with such a way to destroy the foundation of the country, it's really a bastard, no, the emperor must change his mind, otherwise the people will be even more disappointed in the imperial court because of this entry tax, and when the time comes, the imperial court will lose the hearts of the people, and things will be dangerous! β
When Cao Cao was about to say something, he looked at Yun Bin with embarrassed eyes and looked at Cai Yong hintly. Cai Yong suddenly understood what Cao Cao meant, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Zihan has great wisdom in his chest, maybe he can help us come up with ideas, Meng De, you just say it's okay Cao Cao looked at Yun Bin apologetically, and said: "Don't be surprised, Brother Yun, this matter is very important, and it will bring ruin to ordinary people, so I have to be cautious." β
Yun Bin said indifferently: "It's okay! Brother Cao also did this for the sake of the overall situation, even if it were me, he would also be afraid of an outsider. Cao Cao saw that Yun Bin was not the slightest dissatisfied, and suddenly Yun Bin's impression was even deeper, and then said to Cai Yong: "Cai Lao doesn't know, not long ago, Lord Wang and his party knelt in the palace for a day and a night, and finally had to retreat because of physical exhaustion!" It is precisely because of this time that the emperor has ordered that if anyone dares to stop him, no matter who he is, he will be killed. β
"Ahγγγ" Cai Yong exclaimed in shock, and said sadly: "The Han Dynasty is in crisis, and the emperor is still indulging in pleasure, is there really no way to get rid of Zhang They?" When will the Han Dynasty be able to restore its former glory and peace? The poor old man has a white head! Cao Cao said coldly: "Old Cai, Meng De has a plan, but this plan is very dangerous, and it may lead to Luoyang falling into chaos, I am very embarrassed, and I ask Cai Lao to decide." β
Cai Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "What is the plan?" Come on. As long as you can get rid of the Ten Constants and pay a big price, it will be worth it for the Han Dynasty Cao Cao did not say it immediately, but turned to Yun Bin and said solemnly: "Brother Yun, this plan is very important, you had better quit, you can avoid unnecessary disasters!" If Brother Yun insists on listening, he will definitely fall into the big quagmire of the imperial court and will not be able to extricate himself! And there's a good chance of death, you have to think about it! β
If an ordinary teenager listens to Cao Cao's words, he must choose to listen to it with enthusiasm, who wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head? This is a humiliating act, especially in an era like ancient times, when reputation was taken seriously. But Yun Bin still chose to listen, because Yun Bin knew that since he entered the study, he had already been on Cai Yong's thief ship, and if he quit, I am afraid that Cai Yong would immediately kill himself, because he knew that Cai Yong and they had to deal with the Ten Constants, although the two factions often fought each other, but this time the situation was special, even the Ten Constants who often fought would be cautious. Another reason is to let Cao Cao underestimate himself, under such a choice, Cao Cao will think that he is an inexperienced hot-blooded teenager, although he is smart, but he has not grown up, and he is not a big threat.
Sure enough, hearing that Yun Bin chose the latter, Cao Cao's eyes became dull from the original attention, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, it's still a teenager!" If I give him some more time to grow, maybe I will look up to him, he is a young man with great potential, and his achievements in the future should not be small. β
On the contrary, in the face of such a choice, Cao Cao must not hesitate to choose the former, because without strength, Cao Cao will not play with his own life. In history, Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, and was killed by Ma Chao when he fled to Tongguan, which shows that Cao Cao values life far more than image and reputation, and it is precisely because of this different thinking that Cao Cao will become the biggest hero of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Bei is because he cares too much about his benevolent reputation, so he often loses battles, even if he fights Lu Xun in the last battle, it is because of his reputation, and he underestimates Lu Xun, who is not very famous, which will lead to Liu Beijun being defeated by Lu Xun's fire attack in the end! And he, Liu Bei, fell in reputation because of this battle, and died of anger and hatred. And Sun Quan, although he has the assets of the emperor, but he does not have the courage of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although he has ambitions, he does not have enough courage to implement it, and he will only protect himself, so he will not show much reputation during the Three Kingdoms period.
"Bo Jiaoγγγ you are finally back, at this time, an angry old voice came from outside the study. Cai Yong was overjoyed, got up and opened the door, looked at the comer, and said happily: "Zishi, Wenxian, Zigan, and Fengshang are here!" Come on in. Yun Bin looked curiously at the four elders who came in, and the first one to come in was Prince Wang Yun, whose body was quite tall, his face was majestic and extraordinary, and his temperament was a little arrogant. Then there is Yang Biao and Yang Wenxian, who is a little fat in size, but with an amiable atmosphere. The third is Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan, who is tall and thin, but he looks capable and extraordinary, which should not be underestimated. The last one is today's national uncle Dong Cheng Dong fashion! He is of average stature, but he is the youngest among the senators, perhaps because of maintenance.
Seeing the four people who came, Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off at all, hurriedly greeted him, and respectfully saluted: "Elder Wang, Elder Yang, Elder Lu, Elder Dong!" Looking at the respectful Cao Cao, the four of them nodded with satisfaction, Wang Yun raised his head slightly, and praised arrogantly: "Yes, Meng De!" Now that you're in an important position, you can't be proud of it! Dong Cheng frowned and said, "Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business, let's talk about business first!" β
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they all entered the study and sat down, Yang Biao looked at Cai Yong and sighed: "Alas! I'll take it upon myself to preside over this meeting! Ten times to be chaotic to listen to the saints, do you have any high opinions or plans? While everyone is around, don't hide it, and say whatever comes to mind. Wang Yun saw that everyone didn't mean to speak first, and when he was about to say something, he finally found Yun Bin who was standing on the side indifferently, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you?" β
Yun Bin was stunned for a moment, and scolded secretly: "Damn, Lao Tzu plans to make sculptures and don't give them to him, the bad luck of the real mother!" Thinking about it, Yun Bin was still expressionless, and said: "Back to the adult, the little one is just a nobody." β
