Chapter 26: Embarrassment

The recording of this song lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Cheng arranged for Lin Shan to settle the recording fee to Feng Chong.

Originally, it only took two days of recording, but because of Lin Shan's personal problems, Feng Chong was delayed for one more day, and the other party also helped with post-processing and computer sound repair, which made Zhou Cheng even more embarrassed. It's just that I'm shy at the moment, so I have to write down this favor.

"Brother Feng, let's leave first, and we will make up for it later!"

"You're welcome, just bring me a box of cigarettes next time." Feng Chong personally sent them outside the gate of the factory, which made many pedestrians at the gate of the factory curious.

In addition to many former employees of the Yanjing Coking Plant, many underground singers choose to stay here. Although the location is relatively remote, it is easily accessible, with bus lines from the coking plant bus station to various areas of Yanjing City, and night buses that can run until 4 a.m.

More importantly, the rent here is cheap, and there are a large number of self-built houses for coking plant workers who can be rented out, or it doesn't cost much to rent a warehouse directly from the original factory leaders.

Every afternoon at three or four o'clock, it is also the time when these singers gather to go to work in the city.

Most of the non-mainstream people who wear leather clothes, long hair, and all kinds of tattoos on their exposed parts of their bodies play rock and roll, while those who carry guitars, T-shirts, jeans, and are slightly melancholy mostly play folk songs.

These people come from all over the country, with a love of music, living in the cheapest houses, eating the most ordinary food, and pursuing their purest dreams in the capital city of Yanjing.

Lin Shan also lived here at the beginning, but after Zhou Cheng signed a contract with him, he let him move out of here. In Zhou Cheng's view, even if he is just an eighteenth-tier artist, he must dissociate himself from the original environment. In this way, he will not find a sense of superiority in these Beipiao who are mixed at the bottom, and lose the motivation to strive upward.

But if it were Zhou Cheng now, it is estimated that he would make a completely different choice. Because Lin Shan, who moved away from here, has lost the humility and purity of music at the beginning.

In Zhou Cheng's view, Lin Shan's change certainly has the flaws of his character, and it should be more related to his lack of study and dropping out of school too early.

We sometimes think that our perception of society is mainly based on life experience, and it is not directly related to the richness of knowledge, but in fact, this is not the case.

The poorer the knowledge, the more absolute what a person believes, because he is too easy to be blinded by some small achievements in front of him, become fluttering, transform his original inferiority complex into arrogance, and then use this arrogance to arm himself, so that he dares to touch the bottom line of this society.

This is called "fearlessness of the ignorant".

Zhou Cheng has seen many players who became famous overnight through the draft and Internet celebrities who became popular by an Internet topic in another world, and many of them began to have frequent accidents after becoming famous. Playing big names, exploding foul language, sleeping with fans, tax evasion and other out-of-the-ordinary things are not unusual, which has a lot to do with the low knowledge of these stars.

Lin Shan also did so much because of this unknowing. Now seeing that he has a lot of restraint, Zhou Cheng is a lot more relieved.

The two did not choose to take a taxi when they went into the city, but chose to take a bus.

According to Zhou Cheng, it was to take Lin Shan to feel the hardships of the previous North Drift again. Actually, it's more about saving money. Zhou Cheng was about to run out of ammunition, but this embarrassment couldn't be shown in front of Lin Shan.

Came to the Geology and Mining Building next to Ditan Park and handed over the recorded Demo to Cheng Feng, and after getting the receipt, according to the contract signed at that time, the balance should be paid within two or three days. When the time comes, you can solve Zhou Cheng's urgent need.

In addition, Zhou Cheng's notice of contact with Jiahe Culture also has eyebrows, and the other party notified that there will be a performance at Wukesong Stadium the day after tomorrow, if the cooperation between the two sides is more satisfactory this time, Lin Shan will be included in the list of Jiahe outdoor performance artists in the future, and there will be a long-term performance plan.

Although the income of each game is only a few thousand yuan, it is also a lot of income for Lin Shan, and it also indicates that the careers of the two are gradually on the right track.

"Grandma Liu, come to pack a hard ......" separated from Lin Shan, Zhou Cheng also chose to take public transportation back to the community where he lived, and when he bought cigarettes at the convenience store at the door, he found that he only had a green Wu Shiyuan bill left in his wallet. Looking at the cigarette handed over by the old lady, Zhou Cheng pushed it back again: "My throat has been a little dry recently, let's change to a lighter package." Let's take a few of the buns. ”

"Young people, it's better to smoke less." The old lady was like a mirror in her heart, and she did not expose him. changed the package of 0.8 mg Zhongnanhai to Zhou Cheng, and then said to Zhou Cheng while looking for change: "Xiaocheng, are you at home tomorrow?" ”

Zhou Cheng took the change handed over by the old lady and thought for a while: "You should be at home, do you have anything to do?" ”

Grandma Liu smiled: "Someone came to look for a house this afternoon, didn't you say you wanted to rent a house last time, I took him to see your yard and pointed out the house you want to rent to him, the other party felt quite satisfied, and was ready to take a closer look at it tomorrow." I'll tell him to come over tomorrow, do you think it's okay? ”

"Who's going to rent a house?" Zhou Cheng didn't expect that no one cared about him at home for a few days, and someone came to see the house as soon as he went out today. Zhou Cheng didn't expect that the last time he mentioned renting a house, the old lady was really interested.

"It looks like a recent graduate looking for a job, in his early twenties, with short hair. A child of Sven. I recommended a few suites, all of which were a bit too expensive, so I took a fancy to your square. ”

"Well, well, I'm fine tomorrow." Zhou Cheng, who had seen some improvement in his career recently, originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the enthusiasm on the other party's face, Zhou Cheng still agreed. It's better to wait until tomorrow to see the tenant, if you are really not satisfied, it is not too late to make excuses to shirk at that time.

When you get home, turn on your computer and continue clicking on the document you saved in the morning.

Take out the pack of Zhongnanhai I just bought, blue and white cigarette box, silver tin foil, white cigarettes, compared with Chinese cigarettes, there is a faint mint fragrance, light one, the first sip is very mellow, the second puff begins to lighten, and then there is a smell of grass ash.

There is a saying that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Even when they started smoking at school, a few people smoked the delicate and mellow hard yellow hibiscus king or the thick and sweet soft blue yellow crane tower, and sometimes they would take a soft spot from Chu Ran or 1916. After graduation, in order to talk about business, most of the things Zhou Cheng carried in his bag were hard and harmonious Yuxi, and during this time, he was even more embarrassed by those who listened to the special Chinese support.

After another puff, Zhou Cheng extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray and continued to start his "creation", believing that he would be able to succeed.

The enthusiastic Grandma Liu probably also saw Zhou Cheng's embarrassment, a guy stayed at home for several days and did not go out to work, and today she is dressed so formally that she is afraid that she will go to find a job. This is to rent out the house, which should be to earn some living expenses. Everyone is a neighbor left and right, and I used to watch this child grow up, so I can help if I can.

So Grandma Liu acted very quickly, contacted the tenant that night, and then ran over to inform Zhou Cheng in person that the other party would come to see the house at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and asked him to stay at home.
