Chapter Fifty-Seven: Copies That Can't Be Sold
"Yo, Gu Daxing is back?"
Hearing the voice, Gu Bei glanced back, only to see Deng Chao appear at the door of the dormitory with a basketball on his face.
"How are your albums selling?"
"It's okay, from the 21st to now, it's just been a week, almost 300,000 copies, but now that piracy is slowly increasing, I can't say how much it can be sold." Gu Bei replied casually, and opened the box he brought back to the dormitory, "I also brought one for you, do you want it?" ”
"Yes, you can take it to the corner of the table." Deng Chao didn't think about it, he took an album from Gu Bei's box, "I said, when are you going to write me a song?" ”
"You're not suitable for singing like me, but if you really want to, I'll write it to you when you debut."
Deng Chao slowly put down the album in his hand, looked at Gu Bei with a moved face, his two lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but he was directly blocked by Gu Bei's erected index finger.
Gu Bei looked at Deng Chao very seriously, and said very seriously: "I am a serious man, and I like girls, so don't hit my attention." ”
"Get out!" Deng Chao kicked Gu Bei in a gesture, and then said, "Lao Ye and Sister Hailu are also back, call a few of them out to wander around." ”
"They're back?" Gu Bei was really surprised, and he didn't know how the filming of these two people was doing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, celebrate the big sale of my album, but I have morning class tomorrow, drink a little less for a while, and skip class again, Director Tian should make fun of my minor qualifications." ”
"I said, what are you doing as a screenwriter? Aren't you doing quite well now? ”
"Just when Director Tian asked, I was thinking that I could learn one more course, and I didn't have to pay more tuition, and if I didn't study in vain, I didn't expect that I would be so busy at that time, but now I can't, and if I give up at this time, I will be seen as a joke."
"Who's going to laugh at you? Gu Daxing? ”
Ignoring the hippie smiling Deng Chao, he simply packed up his things, Gu Bei took a few albums and went to Qin Hailu and Liu Ye, the two of them went out on this trip, there was less of a sense of immaturity on campus, and they were more mature, and they could clearly see the tiredness in the eyes of the two, and it was inevitable that they would be too tight when filming for the first time.
The Four Musketeers are all students, and the hotels they often go to are also around the school, and the prices are also very affordable, and the restaurants near Huang Tingzi next to the college are often visited by Gu Bei, and this time they also went straight to Huang Tingzi.
"You're pretty handsome." Liu Ye looked at the cover of "Whispering" and said casually.
Qin Hailu also picked it up and looked at it, and echoed: "Is there a feeling that Jin Chengwu and Guo Fucheng are combined?" No wonder so many little girls like you. ”
Gu Bei, who came back from ordering, heard the conversation of several people, and interjected: "Sister Hailu, you don't like it, I'm always sad about this." ”
"My sister is old, what kind of little girl is she?"
Hearing this, Gu Beigang wanted to say something, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was being targeted, he subconsciously looked around, only to find a few faces that were not unfamiliar, and immediately said hello to Liu Ye and a few people, and walked over.
"Teacher Komatsu, Teacher Huang, Brother Jun, Brother Wolf, you also come here to eat?"
A few people are Gao Xiaosong, who just cooperated with Gu Bei not long ago, as well as Teacher Huang Lei from the Film Academy, Zheng Jun, who wrote two rock songs for Gu Bei, and then the old wolf, the campus male god who was so popular in the first few places, by the way, Gu Bei also just wrote a song "Moonlight Allure" to Gao Xiaosong, and wanted the old wolf to sing.
"Yo, Gu Bei, are you here to eat too?" Gao Xiaosong stood up, grabbed Gu Bei's shoulders, let Gu Bei sit down, and pointed to others to introduce, "Gu Bei, a very talented young man, this is Huang Lei, the old wolf and Zheng Jun, Zheng Jun's new album recently prepared has two songs by Gu Bei." ”
"Hello teachers." Gu Bei still seemed a little restrained, after all, these people were all elders and seniors.
After greeting for a while, Gao Xiaosong asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"They came over for dinner with my classmates, and two of them just came back from filming to pick them up and wash the dust." Gu Bei explained casually, the film academy and the drama academy are separated by a distance of five or six kilometers, and Huang Lei is a teacher at the film academy, so it is normal to meet each other.
When Huang Lei heard this, he immediately reacted and said, "Just the Four Musketeers of your Drama Academy?" ”
"Yes, just the four of us." Gu Bei couldn't smile a little bitterly, the reputation of the Four Musketeers spread really far, Beiping said that it was not small, it was not big, and the people in the film academy were in the same circle, but Gu Bei didn't think that the title of the Four Musketeers of his own people spread so quickly, it was really a good thing not to go out, and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.
"Really?" The old wolf looked to the side and proposed, "Let's call over and eat together, just get to know each other, maybe we will work together one day." ”
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Gu Bei thought for a while and refused, he just came over to say hello, really called Deng Chao and a few people over, it would only make them embarrassed and restrained, in order not to refute the old wolf's face, Gu Bei added, "I'll be the east another day, let's get acquainted with each other together, forget it today, I'll talk to them in a while, say hello together, say hello." ”
Gao Xiaosong asked Gu Bei for a cup, filled it directly, and said, "That's okay, but you sit down and talk for a while, we're talking about my movie." ”
"When the Flowers Bloomed?"
"Yes, as I spoke, I thought of those things a few years ago, and I was really comfortable at that time, but now I can't do it, everyone is busy with their own things." Huang Lei was inexplicably very touched, said a word, and looked at Gu Bei again, "What about you, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
"Mr. Komatsu helped me record an album not long ago, and I just finished the promotion, and the album is now selling."
Speaking of the album, Gao Xiaosong asked: "By the way, how are the sales?" I've heard that it's selling very well, and it's on TV and newspapers every day. ”
"It's okay, it's almost 300,000."
"Three hundred thousand?" Huang Lei smacked his lips and said, "I've never sold more than 300,000 copies of an album." ”
"Can you compare? You had one or two songs that you could listen to on an album, and people didn't like to listen to albums, records, and radio at that time, where did you get your sales? Gao Xiaosong immediately uncovered Huang Lei's scar, "I still remember that when he came to me to help him record a song, he made me angry, others sang a little tune, and he directly recited the poem to me and recited the lyrics." ”
"What does it have to do with what I sing if it doesn't sell well? At that time, the standard of living was still a little worse than it is now, and many people could not afford to buy records and albums, and even if they could, there was generally no equipment for playing at home. Huang Lei defended himself, and said very consciously, "Of course, I really don't know how to sing, let me fill in the lyrics, and I can make it up." ”
"Actually, I'm not very good at singing, Komatsu is very clear about his old time, singers like Wang Fei are basically all over again, there are few flaws, and when I record songs, I record them several times."
"Understood, but apart from the album, haven't you made any scenes lately?"
"Not long ago, I filmed "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" directed by Huo Jianqi, and also made a cameo appearance in "Western Regions Weilong" by Brother Cheng Long."
Huang Lei, who is more familiar with filming, raised his own questions: "Director Huo's movie, I heard that it has been prepared for a long time?" Why hasn't it been released yet? Haven't you done it yet? ”
"The finished film has come out, but the domestic distributors are not optimistic, so they sold two or three copies, and the attendance rate is also very low, just like if it was not released." Gu Bei also felt worthless for Huo Jianqi in his heart, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is a good movie, the story filmed is a good story, and the picture is also very beautiful, but those film buyers just can't look at it, there is no way, the copy just can't be sold.
