"I didn't expect Director Cheng to understand music, I really didn't notice the few points he mentioned just now, it seems that I have to study and study it well after I go back......"

Coming out of the geology and mining hotel, Lin Shan couldn't hide his joy, and took the printed music manuscript in his hand, and didn't want to put it in the file bag. After being depressed for more than half a month, he finally had a new beginning, although it was only 30,000 yuan, it was also a big incentive for Lin Shan.

"When you go back, you must practice hard and strive to perform this song perfectly."

"I understand Brother Cheng, I will definitely not let you down."

Looking at Lin Shan with an excited face, Zhou Cheng felt a trace of bitterness in his heart.

When he signed the contract with Cheng Feng just now, according to Zhou Cheng's requirements, he had to pay at least 50% of the contract amount in advance, so as to ensure his own interests when the other party broke the contract, because the cost of recording the song needed to be paid in advance by Zhou Cheng.

But Cheng Feng is only willing to make a 10% down payment, and he is very persistent. Even Zhou Cheng showed his background again and reduced the down payment to 30%, Cheng Feng was unmoved.

Seeing that Cheng Feng's eyes were no longer firm when they first met, but flashing with a hint of dissociation from time to time, Zhou Cheng realized that this girl had no money.

Zhou Cheng guessed correctly, Cheng Feng was short of money, but he couldn't fall down and kept holding on. The copyright of this feature film belongs to the film and television channel, and a total of 5 million production costs have been allocated. Cheng Feng, who is just an independent producer for the first time, did not expect that thirty episodes would require a large number of film and television materials and character interviews.

He now lives in this small hotel with a level of less than three stars, not as low-key as Zhou Cheng said, but he really can't afford to live in a five-star hotel.

Now that the post-production has not been completed, Cheng Feng has no money in his hands. He applied for the movie channel to increase the cost, but the movie channel would not fill the hole for him until the finished product was made. That's why he has to determine the ending song as soon as possible, so that he can edit out the full version of the two episodes and send them to the film and television channel for confirmation, so that he can get the money.

When Zhou Cheng objected to the contract, Lin Shan didn't think about it so much. After a simple communication with Cheng Feng about the singing of this song, Lin Shan seemed to have found a bosom friend, and directly signed his name on the contract with a 10% down payment in advance, and also ridiculed Zhou Cheng's musical literacy.

The two came to the door of a construction bank next to Huangcheng International, Zhou Cheng asked Lin Shan to wait on the side, and he withdrew 10,000 yuan through the ATM. Listening to the sound of counting money at the ATM, Zhou Cheng looked at the three-digit balance displayed on the LCD screen, and felt a sense of powerlessness again, poor!!

"Of them, 6,000 yuan is for Brother Feng, you bring it to him when you go to record a song next week, and settle the account last time. The other 4,000 plus the 3,000 yuan he just got from Director Cheng is the cost of this recording. This time they were needed to record the accompaniment, so it was a thousand more expensive. Remember to ask him to invoice this expense, and we will have to find Director Cheng to reimburse it at that time. ”

Although the last time I participated in "Super Boy", I took Chen Li's path to find Zhang Jun, but I also need Lin Shan to submit a demo to show his strength. Zhou Cheng helped Lin Shan find Feng Chong's recording studio to record, and promised to pay the fee when he came back from Quancheng, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

"Brother Cheng, or let Brother Feng put the last expense into the invoice." Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Lin Shan couldn't help but propose.

As soon as Lin Shan's words were finished, Zhou Cheng slapped him on the head: "Don't give me this crooked idea." Director Cheng's willingness to reimburse us for the production fee is already a big face, and we can't falsely report the cost anymore. ”

Zhou Cheng understands Lin Shan's character, he just likes to play such a little clever, so he challenged Chen Haoming in the last competition, thinking that he could get more exposure.

"Brother Cheng, this money is what I owe you." After receiving the 10,000 yuan, Lin Shan felt that his mood was the same as this money, and it was heavy.

"Brother settles the accounts, these should be your personal expenses, I will keep them in mind for you, and when you can make a lot of money, I will deduct them from the middle." Zhou Cheng did not directly say that it was for him as before, but was ready to follow the rules.

"Yes, you can deduct it when the time comes." For the distribution of benefits that will only occur in the future, Lin Shan has generously made a commitment.

"Okay, hurry up and go back, the small party in the province is worried." Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand to stop Lin Shan's car, and before parting, he explained through the car window: "Remember what I told you, these days I have been practicing songs honestly at home, don't think nonsense, and don't go out to make trouble, I will continue to notify you during this time." ”

Watching the taxi leave, Zhou Cheng reached out and touched his pocket, and the result of pretending to be generous was that his pocket was empty. Zhou Cheng put down the hand that was about to stop the car again, looked left and right, walked to the underground passage of Ditan Park, and prepared to squeeze Metro Line 2 to go home.

Zhou Cheng did not return to Yuyuantan, but returned to the place where he lived in Liuliqiao. Whether it is that world or this world, Zhou Cheng has long been accustomed to living alone.

Back in the community, it was already dark, passing by the convenience store at the entrance of the community, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the "room for rent" card hanging at the door of the small store, Zhou Cheng stopped: "Grandma Liu, take two buckets of instant noodles." ”

"It's Xiaocheng, when you're growing up, it's not okay to eat instant noodles all the time." The old lady used to say things that didn't have much nutrition in her mouth, but her eyes were staring at the banknotes that Zhou Cheng took out, and saw that he took out the new version of the 20 yuan banknote, twisted it with his hand, and then took the money from the cash box to make change, and said in pieces: "Now this new version of 10 or 20 yuan is really not easy to identify, and it is not as good as the previous great unity." ”

While waiting for change, Zhou Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Grandma Liu, how many people have come to our community to rent a house recently?" ”

"Fortunately, there are quite a few people who ask. It's just that there aren't many houses that can be rented. Many tenants here generally rent on an annual basis, and the house will be vacated at the end of the year. After Grandma Liu explained to Zhou Cheng, she then asked, "Xiaocheng, do you have a house that you want to rent?" ”

Zhou Cheng smiled: "I have three houses over there, and it's a waste for me to live alone, I'm going to rent out the square in the courtyard." Grandma Liu, you help me pay attention, the intermediary fee will not be less than yours. ”

"You leave me a phone number, and I'll post it for you tomorrow." Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Grandma Liu took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to him.

Housing rentals in old communities like this generally don't go to an intermediary company to hang out. The convenience store at the entrance of the community has become a natural intermediary place, and the residents of the community will not let them be busy in vain, and most of them will give half a month's rent as an intermediary fee after the transaction. This is also another income for these small shops.

The house on this side of Liuliqiao is the staff dormitory community of Yanjing Railway Bureau, which is the house that Zhou Cheng's grandfather got in the 80s. It is also the only inheritance left by the old man after his death. Before he died, he called all his children and grandchildren to his side, and left this house to Zhou Cheng, the only male among his grandsons.

The eldest Zhou Keming and the second Zhou Kemin are very grateful to their younger brother Zhou Kezhi for going to the countryside for them, and they have only one daughter in their own family, and they have already started a family, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. So he signed the agreement to renounce the inheritance, and transferred the house to Zhou Cheng and became his residence.

This house is not big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, only 65 square meters. The house is old-fashioned, with large rooms and small living rooms.

Because it is the first floor, there is a yard of about 30 square meters. The yard planted a bowl of thick jujube trees, which was planted by Zhou Cheng's grandfather when he was assigned to the house, and at the end of August every year, the red golden silk jujube is the favorite of Zhou Cheng's sisters and brothers during the summer vacation.

On the west side of the courtyard, a bungalow of more than ten square meters was built against the wall, which was originally used as a kitchen and dining room, and later Zhou Ya and her cousin or cousin came over and couldn't live together, so the old man changed it into a guest room, and built a small kitchen of only four or five square meters in the southeast corner.

After Zhou Cheng moved over, Chu Ran and several of them often came to stay overnight, so they repainted it and added a small bathroom using the sewage outlet of the original kitchen as a guest room. It's just that after graduation, everyone has been busy, and now it has been empty for more than half a year. Zhou Chengcheng is ready to rent out this room in exchange for some living expenses.

The two bedrooms in the house are all facing south, and the west room is blocked by the bungalow in the courtyard, and most of the sunlight is slightly shady, and there is a small door to the courtyard, which Zhou Cheng used as a study. And the one with good light to the east is the master bedroom.

Zhou Cheng did not decorate this house, mainly because he had no money. In the bedroom, the flat wooden bed left by the old man is still placed, but the futon is simply padded underneath to make it slightly elastic. The curtain is also an old-fashioned roller blind, and the drawstring next to it has been broken once, and Zhou Cheng did not replace it, but simply connected it and continued to use it.

The study room has been slightly adjusted, and all the original old furniture has been disposed of by him, and a desk, a computer, a few bookshelves have been added, plus a few pots of shade-loving orchids are placed outside the door, just like the words hanging in the study, "quiet and far-reaching".

Zhou Cheng entered the house through the small door of the courtyard, threw the convenience bag on the table of the Eight Immortals in the living room, and a Master Kong braised beef and a unified Laotan sauerkraut rolled out of the bag one after another.

Zhou Cheng put them side by side: "Don't move, when the water boils, I will pamper you." …… Pointing to the soldiers...... Kang Xiaohong today, Xiaozi, I will wronged you tomorrow ......"

Kang Xiaohong and Tong Xiaozi can only be used as expedient measures, and the most important thing for Zhou Cheng now is to make money to solve the problem of shyness in his pocket. Ten minutes later, Zhou Cheng came to the study with the enthusiastic and hot Kang Xiaohong, turned on the computer, and typed three big words on the document: "Donkey Gets Water".
