Chapter 6: The Coffee House Changes
In addition to the recovery of the mainland music market, the lack of strong competitors in the first half of this year was also an important factor in the success of Taomu's albums.
Let's take a look at which pop albums were released in June and July 2002.
On June 1, Lin Yilun's album "Night to Burn". On June 21, Zhang Xinzhe album "From the Beginning to the Present". On June 24, Rene Liu's album "Love And The City". On July 9, Sha Baoliang's album "Falling in Love with a Fish". On July 18, Chou Dong's album "Octave Space".
The other little stars will not be listed one by one. The most influential and sales volume should be Jay Chou, but Jay Chou's "Octave Space" will not be released until July 18, and it will take some time to enter the mainland market after it is released.
followed by Zhang Xinzhe and Liu Ruoying.
But in 2002, without so much multimedia fanfare, it was a matter of course that they did not surpass "The First Dream".
Therefore, after appearing on CCTV and being reported by countless news media across the country, Zhang Ziqi took advantage of this shareholder wind to ascend to the level of a popular first-line star with almost no obstacles, and became the most famous singer that year. is in the limelight for a while, and he is also the most powerful contender for various music awards in the Chinese music scene next year.
In addition, the new album of Wen Hu, Zhao Yue and the youth boy group has also attracted much attention. Through Zhang Ziqi's appearance on CCTV this time, Taomu Company gained fame and fortune, which indirectly established the hegemony of the discourse music scene this year, and the income rose gradually.
While Taomu Company was in the limelight because of the outstanding performance of its artists, Lin Ming spent the afternoon with An Ran in the café on the bank of the Yunhe River.
Lin Ming went to Li Yi's house at about 2 o'clock at noon every day, took a two-hour class, and came to the river with An Ran after class at 4 o'clock.
After the summer vacation, he had more time to spend with Enron.
Whether it is discussing and learning together, or some whispering from childhood sweethearts, it can make these two young people who fall in love full of freshness and sweetness. When you love someone, even if you don't talk to each other and look into each other's eyes, you are full of happiness.
At this time, when the sun has not yet set, the red sun the size of a millstone hangs in the distance, reflecting the thin clouds on the horizon, exuding a faint red glow. Billowing clouds floated over the city.
Many years later, in the summer of the later generations, when the industrial environment was becoming more and more serious, there was no such sunset in Yuncheng for a long time. Half of the sky in the direction of the setting sun is burning with clouds, the air is very fresh, and you can see the green mountains on the outskirts of the northeast from a distance, and the breeze that comes slowly caresses it, bringing a cool evening breeze in the evening summer.
There is a group of frolicking teenagers on the edge of the Yunhe River, barefoot, frolicking by the river. In the distance, the aftermath of a typhoon from the south is blowing across the shore of Cuihu Lake, blowing towards the Yunhe River. The water of the Yun River still flows undisturbedly, occasionally blown by the wind to raise a trace of waves, and like slow time, there is no ripple.
Lin Ming took a sip of coffee.
Life is an ordinary life narrative, and every day has been an adventurous and exciting life for decades. Sometimes, living an ordinary life is also a very wonderful thing in life. At least for Lin Ming, having afternoon tea happily with An Ran was a good time.
"Bang! ~”
At this moment, an earth-shattering sound suddenly pierced the sky, and the entire café and hut shook as if it had been shaken by an earthquake, and countless dust and smoke were generated on the ground, and the hut collapsed directly.
Everyone was startled by the sound, and the scene was in a panic.
Lin Ming immediately protected An Ran and pulled her to a safe corner. Good thing they were in the balcony position and didn't get hurt.
After waiting for a few minutes, the dust settled, and the scene was shocking.
"Enron, it's okay."
Lin Ming hugged An Ran and held her in his arms. After the dust had passed, he looked at the café hut with shock in his eyes.
A truck transporting the muck crashed straight into the house, and the entire café hut collapsed, half of the truck was still exposed on the road, but its head slammed into the house. The structure of the coffee hut was originally a wooden house, and the truck carrying dozens of tons of muck crashed into it with a huge impact, and it could not withstand this momentum at all, and collapsed directly. The dust was flying, and the wooden planks on the roof of the building and the steel brackets that carried the second floor fell to the ground. Fortunately, although the balcony is connected to the hut, the balcony is extended by steel bars on the bank of the Yunhe River, and there are cement pillars underneath to support it, which is relatively firm, and it has not been directly impacted, so it has not been directly knocked apart by this force.
But the coffee hut has been completely destroyed beyond recognition.
Lin Ming hugged An Ran and shrank to the corner of the balcony, there were still a few customers on the balcony, almost scared to pee, they fled to the edge of the balcony, looking at all this in front of them with disgust, I don't know whether they secretly felt lucky, or they felt afraid in their heart palpitations.
"I'm fine."
An Ran was hugged by Lin Ming, feeling his crazy beating heart, knowing that Lin Ming was worried about himself, he calmed down and said calmly: "Call 110 and 120." ”
Lin Ming nodded and quickly took out the phone.
The planks kept falling from the ruins of the house over there, and the whole hut was almost buried because a large amount of muck had been dumped into it. After a few minutes of silence, there was a faint cry for help from under the buried dust, and it was clear that someone was trapped inside.
"Everybody come to help save people."
After Lin Ming finished making the phone call, when he saw this scene, he immediately rushed over to remove the debris on it.
A few people on the balcony didn't do the visitors, but came over to help.
Because the burial location is relatively shallow, there is only a layer of muck and some collapsed wooden planks, which can be easily removed. So in a few moments, the people rescued the people from the buried ground. It was the owner of the café, the handsome old man who had returned from Treasure Island, who had a tray at hand, and was about to go to the balcony after the kitchen was ready, so he was lucky to escape and not be hit directly by the muck truck. But his breathing was weak, his body was full of muck, there were abrasions and bumps everywhere, there was a cut on his head, the wound was very deep, and he was bleeding all the time, and the situation was very bad.
"You have to rush to the hospital, otherwise you will bleed too much soon." Lin Ming looked at the critical situation, glanced around and asked, "Who has the car?" ”
"I have."
A middle-aged uncle hurriedly said: "It's parked on the road outside, but how do you get there?" ”
The entire café was blocked by the big truck, and it was impossible to pass through the pile of ruins unless you jumped off the balcony. And there is still half of the house on the side of the café near the balcony that has not collapsed, who knows if it will collapse again.
"This."
Lin Ming anxiously looked around, the balcony was very high from the river bank below, three or four meters high, jumping from here, if he didn't fall to his death, he would definitely break a leg.
And the road through the café was blocked, and it would definitely not work, so you had to climb over the collapsed beams.
Lin Ming gritted his teeth: "I'll take the old man to climb over." ”
An Ran hurriedly said: "No, what if it collapses again?" ”
"I can't care so much." Lin Ming squatted down and said, "Help put the old man on my back, and if I don't go to the hospital for treatment, the old man's life is in danger." ”
Everyone was amazed by Lin Ming's courage, and they all worked hard to help the old man carry Lin Ming's back.
The old man is thin and thin, probably less than 90 pounds, much lighter than expected. His strength was so great that the house was now half collapsed, and he didn't have to climb up, just like walking up a slope.
Lin Ming stepped on the first plank, pressed it hard, and found that it could bear the weight, so he stood up. Everyone's hearts were pinched, and An Ran looked at him worriedly, but his eyes were full of relief.
This man with courage and responsibility, but he is the person he likes.
By the time I stepped in the middle, I had already climbed a third of the way, and in front of me was a huge gap that separated the two sides of the house. That side is collapsed, and this side is left in half. The car that caused the accident was an old wide box truck from many years ago, with a protruding front and a hood like a small car. Because the car was carrying muck, a large amount of dirt was lifted by the huge impact force, causing the entire body to be buried under the dust, and the windshield was covered by a thick layer of dust, and the driver who caused the accident could not see the situation at present.
But Lin Ming couldn't care so much, because when he stepped on the next plank, the plank suddenly collapsed. What followed was like a domino effect, and the whole house collapsed in an instant, and the dust flew up, making everyone exclaim.
An Ran was startled and shouted Lin Ming's name loudly, but when he didn't respond, he was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he wanted to drill into the ruins. But at this time, Lin Ming said loudly: "I'm fine." ”
When the dust fell, I saw him lying on the windshield of the truck, and it turned out that just at the critical moment, Lin Ming jumped up and jumped steadily onto the hood of the truck.
The old man was shocked a little, his breathing became weaker, and the blood kept flowing down, soaking Lin Ming's white short sleeves.
At this time, the outside was already full of people, and police cars were whizzing in the distance, and the sirens of ambulances were also buzzing, speeding in this direction. Everyone saw that the house that had collapsed suddenly collapsed again, and after the dust flew, a young man with the injured on his back lay on the glass of the truck.
Lin Ming's fingernails were almost opened, ten fingers connected to his heart, although he jumped on the hood of the front of the truck just now. But because he was carrying the old man on his back, his body was unstable, and he fell directly to the windshield of the truck. Protecting the old man with both hands, the whole person ate a mouthful of ashes.
After stabilizing himself, he responded to Enron's shouts and climbed towards the front of the truck with both hands. But in the process of climbing, my fingers scratched the iron frame above, and I scratched the blood directly with too much force.
Lin Ming, who was in pain at that moment, gritted his teeth, and his heart was about to stop. His face was sweating profusely, but he still had to protect the old man while trying to climb up.
Thereupon.
Watching the lively people outside, I saw a teenager who was struggling desperately, moving to the roof of the car step by step. He was very struggling, his face was bruised, it could be seen that he looked very painful, many people at the scene wanted to go up to help, but on the right was the riverbank cliff, and the front entrance was blocked by the butt of the car, and no one could get over it in the first place.
However, there were still some righteous youths who climbed up the butt of the car, trying to come to their aid. And the crowd outside quietly watched Lin Ming move up step by step, the scene was silent, everyone's mood was "pinched", and they didn't even dare to breathe.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Come on, young man, you can do it, come on." ”
The scene was like a barrel of dynamite being ignited.
Countless passers-by were united at this time, shouting: "Come on, come on." ”
One after another, the shouts broke through the sky.
"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, Lin Ming you can do it."
Lin Ming felt that he was trembling all over, and Lin Ming, who had almost fainted because of the pain in his fingers, heard the cheers outside, and his spirits perked up, and he desperately encouraged himself to climb harder. The windshield was very slippery with the dirt, and he struggled to move upwards, and soon gradually reached the roof of the car.
At this time, the hot-blooded young men also climbed into the compartment of the muck truck, stepped on the board covering it, and moved in the direction of the front of the car. Time passed minute by minute, and everyone was full of tension.
After two or three minutes, several young people finally came to the top of the truck, and they all reached over to help Lin Ming lift the old man up.
With their help, Lin Ming finally climbed onto the front of the truck.
After coming up, an instant feeling of powerlessness came up, dizziness, and the eyes went black, and he fell.
Before he fell, all he heard was the cacophony of shouts around him and the sound of sirens whistling from far and near.
Saved!
It was his last thought after he passed out.
