Chapter 34: It's hard to like him
Shao Qing smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, his eyes wandered between Yan Qing and Miao Miao, and he had no intention of continuing to speak.
"Hey, I think I'm okay here, there's nothing out of the ordinary, Weng... She's actually quite natural, and even if someone sees it one day, it's not a big problem. β
Yan Qing's expression naturally continued the topic that Shao Qing had raised, and he was thinking in his heart: "Come on, old fox, hurry up and say something I don't know..."
Shao Qing heard Yan Qing say this, and looked at Miao Miao next to him with her head bowed and her ears pricked up.
Yan Qing spread his palms, signaling that there was no need to avoid her.
"Smack!"
Shao Qing lit another cigarette before laughing:
"Brother Qing, are you really not acting abnormal?"
Shao Qing leaned out, held the cigarette between the two fingers of his left hand, and made a money counting action with his right hand that everyone on earth understands.
Shao Qing's flaming red lips spit out a string of eye circles, and he smiled playfully:
"Is it normal for insiders to agree that even if they only release a digital single, they can easily sell 9 million songs, and you can sing it to her without thinking about it?"
Yan Qing smiled and prepared to defend a few words: "It's not because..."
Shao Qing quickly spoke: "Our family's stuffy gourd is even more unnatural, you heard about her changing dances, right?" β
Seeing Yan Qing nodding, Shao Qing smiled bitterly and said:
"I told Luo Bing the truth, and she did reply, and she changed it if she wanted to. But ......"
Shao Qing frowned and bit his lip, as if he was considering how to explain the reason for Weng Huaijing's change of dance on the spot.
Yan Qing blurted out:
"The "Happy Birthday Variations" by Hetrick that follows the Serenade playlist?"
Shao Qing nodded and sighed again: "Yes, you can hide it so deeply when you say happy birthday, you can still catch it." β
Shao Qing threw the cigarette butt that only took a puff and burned out naturally into the ashtray, and said leisurely:
"I checked for a long time to figure it out, and when I asked, she turned her back on me, but I'm not stupid, Sister Qing was also young, okay?"
"You're young!"
Yan Qing flattered Shao Qing and tried to explain:
"I really didn't think about "Light Chaser" so much, I also prepared a work, and the final effect also proved that this song is more suitable for her."
"Of course it's more suitable for her, you wrote it specifically for her, can it not be suitable?"
Shao Qing had a look on his face that I understood and I knew.
"We plan to release a digital single EP in Whispering for this song, do we need to talk about licensing?"
Shao Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, and without waiting for Yan Qing to answer, he immediately continued:
"Dingxin doesn't take a cut here, and I don't take the 10% of the board I shoot. By the way, Brother Qing recommends a recording studio, I want you to supervise this song for her, as well as arrange the music. β
"Sister Shao, Brother Qing, there are regulations on the Huaguo Copyright Society's side that the lyrics, songs, and arrangers each enjoy at least 2%, 2%, and 1% of the income of the work, and the song "Liqiu" we took from Chutian is the highest 12%."
Speaking of the income related to the studio, Miao Miao is no longer silent.
"Yes, I have no opinion. We can also give at the highest 12%. β
Shao Qing took a sip of coffee, left a lip print on the wall of the white porcelain cup, and when he put down the porcelain cup, he also adjusted the order of the calf crossing by the way.
Yan Qing paid attention to Shao Qing's every move, and his mind was racing: "The old fox must know something, he looks like he will eat me, this money is hot, but he can't expose himself."
After thinking about it, Yan Qing skillfully played the image of a man who is quite attached to his ex-girlfriend:
"Little Meow, our copyright registration is finished, right? You can help me write an authorization email to Sister Shao, oh, add a document for the transfer of the right to benefit, stating that we will voluntarily transfer the right to the author's income of "The Light Chaser" to Weng Huaijing. β
Miao Miao pouted and stood up, looking aggrieved.
"Okay, Little Meow, she doesn't have much money, and strictly speaking she's a co-author of this song."
Yan Qing did not dwell on the right to earn, and after coaxing Miao Miao, he continued to say to Shao Qing:
"It's okay to arrange the music, but it's really not necessary to be in the prison shed, and she understands that song better than me."
Shao Qing covered her mouth and smiled: "I have agreed to arrange the music, how big can it be to supervise the shed, Brother Qing'er, it won't be because I am afraid of our family." β
Yan Qing had no choice but to reluctantly do it: "Okay, tomorrow I plan to make "Lisao", then morning... Meet at nine o'clock at the Caochangdi Art Village in the North Fifth Ring Road, Shining Star Recording Studio. β
"I know Shining Star, I met their manager Deng Wenbin once, and he is not bad."
"Sister Shao, you came to the door today just for this, a phone call."
Yan Qing was thinking about how to set Shao Qing's words.
Shao Qing glanced at Miao Miao, who was lying at the desk to make authorization documents, and said to Yan Qing:
"In August 2015, when we were considering whether to sign an agency contract with Weng Huaijing, she had just been invited back from New York to teach by President Deng of the Imperial Capital Dance Academy."
Yan Qing's secret drama meat finally came, and his body naturally adjusted into a posture of attentive listening.
"She just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in February of that year, and it was far more than just Dingxin's agency that extended an olive branch to her, and her three-point request almost scared people away."
Shao Qing stretched out three fingers as he spoke.
"First, the focus of her work will be on the teaching work of the Imperial Capital Dance Academy, and she will only consider taking on ballet solo performances in the surrounding areas.
Second, the movie has to let her pick the script and read the storyboard script first, and the shooting cycle must not conflict with her teaching task.
Third, she has to make her own ideas about commercial activities and product endorsements. β
Yan Qing bowed his head lightly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really yours, it's worthy of Weng Huaijing."
"At that time, in fact, the management thought that this was a loss-making transaction, and finally tossed it to September, and at my insistence, I signed her only after making a guarantee to the company, and specially arranged for Liang Youtang, who specializes in classical artist brokerage affairs, to manage her brokerage contract."
Shao Qing looked at the Led digital clock on the wall:
"In the past four years, the ballet has been performed 34 times, and the movie has never been filmed at all, but fortunately, Mark Jagbus, the chief designer of "Lu", has always favored her cold image. β
Yan Qing remembered the old flower messenger bag she was carrying when she first met Weng Huaijing in the imperial capital.
"Weng Huaijing's image is really suitable for LV, but fortunately, he was not called a donkey brand in this life."
Shao Qing's tone was a little happy:
The contract she signed in New York as the image spokesperson of the Asia-Pacific region of the "Lu" full line of products supported her resources and reputation in the fashion circle, and I helped her negotiate the renewal of the contract later, so that Dingxin's executives did not have the opportunity to turn over old accounts with me.
The contract period in the past four years has been quite smooth, and there was only one incident in Huhai, but if it wasn't for Liang Youtang who took the notice by mistake, I would never have known that she had a story with you. β
Shao Qing revealed some true feelings, and lit the third cigarette:
"I've always loved cherishing her, and there's a lot of what I looked like when I was younger."
Shao Qing closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing about something.
"I also know very well how she has endured it in the past four years."
Shao Qing's pronunciation of the word "forbearance" is very heavy.
"I don't know what happened between you, and I don't care what happens to you two in the future."
Shao Qing's eyebrows and eyes, which were always smiling with affection, were extremely sharp towards Yan Qing at this moment, and she gritted her silver teeth and said very domineeringly:
"But I hope she doesn't suffer any more harm!"
Yan Qing had been listening to Shao Qing very quietly, but he didn't expect a "scumbag" hat to fly on his head like this, and he didn't wait for him to defend himself.
Miao Miao slapped the two authorization documents on the coffee table with a "snap", and glared at Shao Qing fiercely with red eyes:
"Mr. Shao, I'm afraid you have forgotten, the injured person is our brother Qing."
Seeing this, Yan Qing quickly got up and supported Miao Miao, who was trembling with anger.
Miao Miao burst into tears and continued to look at Shao Qing:
"Could it be that Brother Qing has had a good life in the past four years, often in a daze all day long, away from the Internet, self-exile, and even the piano he loved to play before, he rarely touches it again."
Looking at Miao Miao's gaffe, Shao Qing's red lips were buzzing, as if she wanted to say something, and finally only sighed.
"Little Meow, it's okay, those are really in the past, now I play the piano every morning, and I've come out."
found that the plot did not go according to his plan at all, Yan Qing first chose Miao Miao, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Finding that Miao Miao calmed down a little, Yan Qingcai turned to Shao Qing and said:
"Sister Shao, I understand your concern for Weng Huaijing, the story between us is very complicated, but it is indeed in the past, I can't promise you anything..."
The muscles on Yan Qing's face tugged at the thin lips and smiled bitterly:
"I don't have the idea of hurting anyone, including what happened in Huhai last time, I am very peaceful and have no grudges against her."
Yan Qing apologized to Shao Qing:
"Why don't you do it today, I'll send you out, little meow, you have a good rest."
Shao Qing silently put away the two authorization documents, got up and prepared to leave.
Miao Miao wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, gently pushed away Yan Qing, who was still holding one of her arms, and bowed slightly to Shao Qing:
"I'm sorry, Sister Shao, I lost my temper just now."
Shao Qing waved his hand to signal that it was okay.
Miao Miao bowed to Yan Qing again:
"Brother Qing, you better let me go and send Sister Shao, otherwise it will be too rude."
Yan Qing thought about it and glanced at Shao Qing.
Shao Qing replied with a reassuring look in seconds.
"Okay, then don't cry, we'll have business to do in a while."
Yan Qing pointed to the computer on the desk and reminded Miao Miao of the draft.
Miao Miao led Shao Qing out of the house.
When the two walked through the vestibule courtyard and into the porch, Shao Qing stopped, turned around and whispered to Miao Miao, who had a look of wanting to speak and stopping:
"Silly girl, like him, it's hard."
Shao Qing lightly said ten words, Miao Miao was like hearing Huang Zhong Dalu, the whole person was stunned, first shook his head, and then nodded, and the tears that had been stopped were falling again.
Shao Qing stretched out his arms and hugged the petite Miao Miao into his arms, and gently patted Miao Miao's back with his right hand.
"He doesn't know your mind yet, he treats you as a treasure like a sister, and Sister Qing also loved a man like this back then, and buried it for many years."
Miao Miao whimpered: "Sister Qing, I'm sorry, I can't help it every time I see Brother Qing'er sad." That's why I'm so out of shape, I've always been hiding well..."
Shao Qing didn't wait for Miao Miao to continue to say the next words, took out a silk scarf of the same brand from his lock bag, held Miao Miao's face distressedly, wiped Miao Miao's face with a silk scarf, and comforted softly:
"Don't worry, he didn't see it, Sister Qing wiped your face clean, go back quickly, men are very wooden about little girls.
Sister Qing has liked that person for sixteen years, and every time he introduces me to others, he still says:
Look, this is my most proud protΓ©gΓ©, Shao Qing, this little girl is amazing. β
Shao Qing imitated the man's tone very vividly.
Miao Miao was amused by her and laughed, and hugged Shao Qing slightly.
"Then I'll go up, Sister Qing, I'll call you Sister Qing in the future.
After seeing you for the first time, Brother Qing'er told me at the door, I feel that Xiao Meow will be as chic as an old fox when he grows up, and I will try to be a little fox in the future. β
Shao Qing let go of his hand, put away the silk scarf, waved his hand and turned around and walked out of the house, maintaining an elegant and dignified posture all the way.
It wasn't until she got into the car she parked outside the alley, kicked off her high heels, and changed into the flat shoes she was driving that Shao Qing pressed her head with her hand, rubbed her temples heavily, and sighed deeply halfway:
"The person they like is at least alive and healthy in this world, and I, until that person died suddenly, I never showed my heart, but accepted a gift from him before he died."
Ignite, pull down the handbrake, and hit the oil with a bang.
Shao Qing drove this behemoth-like navigator all the way away in the dust.
