180. Two roads
From Xicheng to Chaoyang, there are many national acacia trees.
Sijiu City has a long history of using the national acacia as a street tree, overlooking the old city, and the gray buildings are basically the national acacia green.
The locust tree is a northern tree, and the southern one is mostly a banyan tree.
The banyan tree is known as the "feng shui tree", and it can be seen in the villages in the south, at the entrance of the village and at the bridgehead.
Yaoshan Village also has it.
One is at the head of the bridge and the other is at the entrance of the village, both are old trees, and they should be seventy or eighty years old.
The one at the head of the bridge was struck by lightning, the tree was alive, and the heart of the tree was burned out and still alive, but the branches and leaves were sparse, and the popularity of enjoying the cool in summer was no longer as good as the one at the entrance of the village.
But who doesn't have a strange tree in their hometown, Meng Shi has always felt that it is very cool after being struck by thunder.
Oh, Wen Tong said that the village was going to build a pavilion by the bridge, the tree had been dug up two days ago, and Brother Nian also pulled a cart of "corpses" and threw them in the yard, ready to dry them as firewood, so it was fine.
Last night, Meng Shi and Wen Tong made a video, and she said that the persimmons next to the old house were ripe.
She took it off and divided it with the eldest and second uncles, and sent some to Brother Li's bar, and told Meng Shi to rub some white wine on the fruit pedicle with a cotton swab when she went to get it, and let it sit for a few days before eating.
Meng Shi asked her if she was still used to it in Yaoshan.
She just smiled and said that she had cleaned the cyan stone mill where the TV was placed in the yard, and Brother Nian called his uncle who was a carpenter to make a wooden shelf, and the combination was the same as new.
In the past few days, I soaked soybeans and ground tofu twice, the first trip gave points to the neighbors, and the second trip borrowed a tricycle to ride to the town to sell.
Wen Tong counted with his fingers, made fifty dollars by selling tofu after removing the cost, added another thousand yuan, bought a 20-kilogram piglet, and waited until next year to raise 300 kilograms, and then he could kill the New Year's pig.
He also said that after the Yue Opera class in the temple left, the people of the language protection group invited the puppet show to perform in the nursing home, and the master who had not performed for a long time did not fall behind, singing in his mouth, controlling the puppet in his hand, and stepping on gongs and drums on his feet.
During this time, the village was lively and popular, and Liangzai Ah Gong hummed a song when he walked.
and Liu Xia's grandmother knew that Yang Yi was Qinghua's professor, and after giving Liu Xia a "salary" of 20,000 yuan, she must send a basket of eggs to Sijiu City together with the old hen that laid eggs, and she persuaded her to go back......
Meng Shi listened to Wen Tong talk about trivial things in the village, and laughed.
It seems that she is living quite comfortably in the village, and in just a few days, not only should she know no one be left behind, but she also went to the market to buy a little pig.
Unexpectedly, when the three of them broke up, they went home to raise pigs, and finally fell on her, and the 200,000 flowers are really not a loss.
Guan Bin used his eyes to look at the quiet Meng Shi, this thing is obviously so ridiculous, but it can still give people a feeling that they can be trusted, which is very bizarre.
Thinking of Lao Qin's annoyed appearance because he couldn't find Meng Shi, Guan Bin finally couldn't bear to send him to the 'tiger's mouth', and said, "I know that a copper pot of shabu-shabu, mutton and everything is airlifted from Inner Mongolia, and the place is quiet. ”
Meng Shi came back to his senses and took out the good cat cigarette from his pocket that beat Lao Qin Nashun.
Less than one of them, nine boxes, this is the last pack.
Meng Shi lit the cigarette and said, "Let's go back to the company first." ”
Guan Bin is an old actor, as if he didn't drive the car over by himself, looked ahead, and said suspiciously, "Aren't you hiding from Lao Qin?" He is in the company today. ”
Meng Shi looked out the window and said, "I want to draw your skirt by lottery, it's not my fault, but it's not that it didn't work out, and the skirt wasn't given away, this is called an attempted crime, no, this is called suspension, and the suspension of the crime has not caused losses and should be exempted from punishment......"
"That's called a costume, no, my dress!" Guan Bin had already turned over the matter, and when he heard that this thing was brought up again, he still talked about any attempt and abort, and slapped the horn angrily, "I should ...... directly"
Meng Shi turned his head to look at him, "You really want to take revenge on me and send me to Lao Qin." ”
"What do you mean? I don't understand, I just want to take you to eat something good, what can I do when the store opens here. Guan Bin's face changed instantly, regained that puzzled expression, and said, "When I came out, Lao Qin asked me where I was going, did I see you, I said I went out to do errands, I didn't see you, his face was very ugly, did you provoke him?" ”
Meng Shi was quite satisfied with his acting skills, and said, "Do you know where Lao Qin is when he is not in the company during this time?" ”
Guan Bin glanced at the red light for 120 seconds, stopped the car and turned off the fire, and said, "It's over there in Langfang Dachang, I've been there a few times, and many variety shows are there." ”
Meng Shi pressed the window down and said, "Do you know why he is looking for me?" ”
"Lao Qin doesn't want you to participate, right? Haven't you already disbanded the band? ”
Guan Bin suddenly remembered that this product was a band before, although he had never heard of his band's name and songs, but during the filming period, the people in the rock circle who met him were very polite to him.
"The road is disbanded......"
Meng Shi flicked an old piece of cigarette ash on the palm of his hand and held it.
Guan Bin glanced at the red light time, took out a small six-pointed star-shaped ashtray from the armrest box and handed it to him, "Apart from this, do you have any other bands?" ”
Meng Shi shook his head.
It's not that there is also a band, it's Lao Qin and a few of their "old guys" who have the intention of letting him join the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan" as the lead singer.
This idea originally came from Jia Shudao and Zhang Renpei's speculation about his motives when Meng Shi was about to go to the Bird's Nest.
They think that Cui Jianjun came forward to say hello, and Lao Qin's Qingxue Media was the promoter in the back, in order to send Meng Shi to the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan" who had just lost Lou San as the lead singer, so as to win part of the right to speak in the series of concerts of "Dream Back to Qinchuan, Soul to Return to Hometown".
This is Lao Jia's speculation, Meng Shi does not have this idea.
However, after that concert, Lou San's girlfriend Li Jiangshan took out the guitar left by Lou San and gave it to Meng Shi, although Meng Shi confiscated it, things still changed differently.
After knowing this, Lao Qin and the others began to wonder if it would be a good attempt to let Meng Shi join "Qin Chuan" as the lead singer, after all, except for him, no one can get this kind of recognition.
Lao Qin and Meng Shi talked about this topic when they were discussing the production process and what they wanted to achieve.
This was the case.
Lao Qin said, "I don't think you want to see it, 'Qin Chuan' is gone with Lou San, and the fifth ......."
Before his words landed, Meng Shi picked up a cigarette on the table and ran away.
The thief of this goods ran fast, Lao Qin reacted, and the person was gone.
……
Guan Bin started the car, drove to the shabu shop, and said, "Since you don't have a band, why is Lao Qin looking for you." ”
He said, glancing at Meng Shi's cigarette, "It can't be because you stole his cigarettes." ”
Meng Shi poured the cigarette ash in his hand into the ashtray he handed over, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it on his ear, and said, "Lao Qin wants me to cooperate with Lao Wu and them again, as the opening of the first issue." ”
As the guitarist of Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, Lao Wu is very famous in the circle, but Guan Bin doesn't know about these, and he doesn't know Lao Wu. ”
"It's not that I'm good, it's that I'm suitable." Meng Shixiao, "Before the start of recording this show, I asked Lao Qin a question, do you want to do a pure commercial project, make some money at the same time, let the underground band have another place to make money outside of bars and livehouses, and live a better life, or do you want to discover good bands, give the band an independent stage, and even promote the development of rock and roll." ”
Now most of the bands in China can't support themselves simply by singing, they need a lot of work to do together, which has something in common with the current circle of actors, Guan Bin can understand, what makes him puzzled is, "Aren't the two compatible?" ”
Can't make money and push rock 'n' roll? Isn't that stinking?
Meng Shixiao, this plan was taken out by him, this is a commercial project, an entertainment program with entertainment and confrontation, if it is necessary to say, we discover good musicians, we promote development, this is self-deception, "Let's say so, does the prelude party know?" ”
Guan Bin nodded, "Anyway, I listened to the song and watched the video, and it didn't arouse interest in twenty or thirty seconds, so I cut it." ”
Meng Shi said, "That's the truth, now many musicians will put the climax in front of them to sing, and first give you a very clear memory point.
And if we look for the previous songs, you will find that the intro is very long, slowly bringing people in,
These are two different paths,
The former is a variety show,
An entertainment program in which a band participates, find a few stars, everyone goes up together to have fun, table tennis comes through, and everyone looks at the excitement.
The latter is documentary,
Every band that is picked to the front of the stage will have independent time, from their living conditions, to the motivation for creating songs, to finally showing their independent thoughts with their works.
It's a process that comes in slowly and requires patience to operate. ”
Guan Bin understood a little, "So you and Lao Qin have a disagreement on whether to make it a 'variety show' or a 'documentary'?" ”
Meng Shi extinguished the cigarette, "Sort of, we want different things." ”
Whether to go to "Qin Chuan" as the lead singer or not, this is a question between him and Lao Wu, Lao Qin They say a thousand things and ten thousand are useless.
And the direction is Lao Qin's problem, Meng Shi just proposed to reject the first pure business plan, and instead dig deeper to explore some different things, how Lao Qin and Zhang Renpei operate is their business.
"I really can't see which direction are you supporting?" The two chatted and arrived at the place, and Guan Bin parked the car.
He and Meng Shi have been together for a long time, so he knows very well, don't think about it yourself, ask directly, "Also, since you don't agree on it, why does Lao Qin still want you to do the opening?" ”
"I said it, let me cooperate with Lao Wu again, because we are suitable, Lao Qin and Lao Cui will personally end the stage, it seems too grand, and it is not appropriate to let one of the bands participating in the show do it, I came to the Bird's Nest for a while, it is a bit famous, Lao Wu They have prestige, we don't participate, a combination on both sides, just right."
Meng Shi looked at Guan Bin and said, "As for my thoughts, you have also seen that what I do is slow-paced things, and I hope not to be impetuous......"
"You can do all this kind of thing like pulling skirts, aren't you impetuous?" Guan Bin felt that this dog thing was really shameless.
Meng Shi stared at him.
Guan Bin was furious by him, and he was stunned, "I can't talk to Lao Qin, otherwise I will help you persuade him." ”
"That's not what it meant." Meng Shi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I want to say, Lao Qin and their 'old guys' have kept up with the times, and they want to do fast variety shows and invite celebrities, should I learn from them and take a bigger step?" ”
"Don't talk about pumping skirts and increasing fans! There's no way I'm going to say yes! ”
"Why do you keep worrying about your torn dress? Is it sick? ”
"I ...... What do you mean? ”
"I mean, you just follow me."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the filming location of the talk, go directly, leave now."
