Chapter 102: Night Talk (I)
"Well, they thanked me for ventilating the news early and avoiding the embarrassment of being squeezed dry by the Orientals at one time, and a group of people discussed and gave each of them a big yellow croaker as a thank you." The rhetoric is already prepared on the road.
Although the old man is very kind to himself, in order to avoid his suspicion and trouble, the Kelly formula and the Nash equilibrium must not be let know.
This is not the same as writing a few new openings, this body has also learned to play lyrics for seven or eight years, and has accumulated a lot of performance experience following the old man to the rivers and lakes, writing some new words, new songs and even creating a new singing voice is not a particularly exaggerated thing, his master, Qian Xunzhi's master Xu Yunzhi created Xu Tune at the age of 19. But it would be appalling to say that a person with no formal post-secondary professional training could deduce a Fields Medal-level mathematical formula without his family noticing. After all, Ramanujan had only one person, and it was only under the discovery of his British mentor that he burst into dazzling light. It's better to keep a low profile if you're going it alone.
Therefore, Qian Dingzhang asked Bei Hongde to help buy Great Wall stocks, and another important factor was to hide part of his income first. As far as he is concerned, at present, in addition to looking for Pei Dashao to manage money on his behalf, he really can't find a particularly good storage channel.
Originally, according to his idea, he took the time to go to large banks such as Bank of China and China Construction Bank to open an account and deposit. It's just that at this time, banks no longer accept physical deposits of gold, and if you want to save money, you can first exchange gold for fiat currency before depositing. And once the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the currency depreciation was rapid, and now it was stored in a small bungalow, and when it was taken out, it would buy a few packs of big front doors, as a traverser of the subsequent inflation and hyper-inflation is still fresh in memory, if this pit can't be avoided, you can really jump the Huangpu River.
So after thinking about it, it is the most appropriate to entrust it to Bei Hongde in public, and the fifteen gold bars given in front of everyone's eyes, Pei Dashao will not pay you back a few packs of cigarettes under the pretext of depreciation, the family's prestige and reputation are there, if you dare to mess around like this, don't mix in the circle in the future.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the Bei family is completely finished, resulting in a complete failure of their investment. This point is also under consideration, and Qian Dingzhang has the impression that this family is still relatively stable until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
"I got fifteen this time, counting the two that Sheng Ze got, I can probably take into account the French Concession to take a look. I can't afford a big bungalow, but a small bungalow of Mr. Lu's size can still be bought. After speaking, he ran to the bed, dragged out a large suitcase with a lock from under the bed, wrapped the gold bars into the clothes respectively, and carefully locked them before pushing them under the bed.
With the previous experience, at this moment, Qian Dingzhang looked at these gold bars and gave birth to a mood that was not good, and there was a world of difference from the appearance that he couldn't wait to put down in his arms when he saw the gold shining.
"This is probably growth," Qian Dingzhang muttered.
Seeing that the time was still there, Qian Dingzhang poured himself a glass of water and began to continue the topic with Qian Xunzhi in the previous days.
The father and son agreed that it would not be a way to continue like this, and it would not be starving to death if they sang like this in the big world every day, and the salary of twenty oceans per month was fair in all fairness, but it was far from the goal of becoming a loud file.
Seeing that Lu Zuixian was constantly invited, managers from radio stations and bookstores came one after another, and there were even invitations from various churches. In the flowery world of Shencheng, it is bitter for artists to die if they are not famous, but after they become famous, their lives are not necessarily very comfortable, according to Lu Zuixian's words, "the eyes are open and the eyes are closed, the rooster crows and sings to the ghost, and there is no Sunday."
Now that science is developed and the economy is developed, a large number of private radio stations have suddenly poured out in Shencheng, saying that the radio station is usually a shikumen with broadcasting equipment on the shelf, and then go to the government where to file and get a license to open for broadcasting, and sometimes the audience can also hear the "live broadcast" of husband and wife quarrels and brothers on the airwaves.
Radio stations make the bulk of their income from various advertisements, and insert various advertisements into their normal programs. Advertising is not stupid, the same money, of course, pick a popular one to listen to many radio stations, so the competition between the forced radio stations has reached a white heat, and everyone has rushed to make an appointment.
And the most popular program on the radio is the "air bookstore" with various singing and commenting. There are talking and singing, gimmicks and crying, interspersed with various gimmick jokes in the long serialization with a strong story, both Zhuang and harmonious, and the performance method is simple, two people can start the performance with a three-string and a pipa, which is simply a music program born for the radio.
In comparison, other opera arts are not so suitable for the needs of the radio station, Peking Opera Kunqu Opera, although it is good to listen to and look good, but there are at least two or three actors when singing, and there are Jinghu, Jingerhu, drums, etc., generally small radio stations do not have so much recording space, and the microphone placement of the radio is also troublesome, and all sound sources must be taken into account.
Therefore, most of the operas broadcast on the radio are records, but where are the records live broadcast fun, especially the various "flower arrangements" and "small sales" of the lyricists, which are time-sensitive and social, and the news that just came out in the morning can appear in the lyrics at noon, and everyone likes to listen to fresh ones.
There are other small music arts, either not entertaining enough, or the audience is small, in short, the relationship between the critics and the radio in this period is a match made in heaven.
When Lu Zuixian was the most popular, he had to catch up with eight radio stations a day, and he took out three bookstores, known as the majestic three pools reflecting the moon on all sides. She's not a person who plays with her life to make money, she can't help herself, behind these radio stations are all kinds of white-colored people and hooligans, now talk well and beg you to go, and everyone is happy with each other when they promise. If you don't have a face to face, then I'm sorry, it's light to be thrown on the road and stool... In particular, female artists are in a difficult situation.
Fortunately, this time he brought back Chen Bui's Mobao from Shengze, and Qian Xunzhi's idea did work, and after a group of fellow sisters saw it, they were all envious, and then it spread in the entire Danci and even the entertainment circle.
Where did Ding Mocun dare to continue to break his mind, and even specially found a circle of Chinese people to come to the door to greet him with four-color gifts, which means that there were many misunderstandings before, and please bear with Yunyun.
Seeing that the spy leaders all admit it, other large and small forces in Shencheng have to stop, in this way, Lu Zuixian's life is much better, and then there is a radio invitation to come to the door, she has the right to pick and choose, don't go if the silver is less, don't go if the road is too far, don't go if the equipment is too poor, and don't go to sing in the middle of the night. Well, as a city that never sleeps in the Far East, there were all kinds of midnight broadcasts in that era, and it usually didn't end until 12 o'clock.
The workload has decreased, but the income is not less, after all, it is a big noise, and reducing the performance and lyrics will inevitably mean that the value will rise. Now that Shuangshu has more free time to spare, they are cleaning themselves, rehearsing or pondering new tunes at home, and occasionally going out shopping.
