At nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Ru finally came on stage to sing.

At this time, Yan Xin stopped chatting and turned up the volume of the TV.

Yan's father also raised his spirits to see how this son's friend performed in the Spring Festival Gala.

Although it was only his son's friend who came to the stage, he also had a sense of honor.

This is still because he doesn't know that the song that Gu Ru sings now was written by his son, if he knew, the pride in his heart would be even stronger.

The song is well performed.

It's a good performance, it's not that the rap is good, because it's a lip-synching, as long as it's lip-syncing.

For such an important party, in order to ensure the effect of the stage, it is basically lip-synching.

Outrageous ones will even take the microphone down.

Singers are on this stage, and the main thing is to perform.

Of course, in terms of the presentation of the effect of the program, this way will be better.

Gu Ru is still the same as before, wearing the Hanfu, but it is not the Hanfu designed by the Nishang Feather Coat Online Store, but the design of the program team, which is more exquisite.

Of course, Yan Xin hopes that Gu Ru can wear the Hanfu designed by his online store, which will bring a huge advertising effect.

However, wearing the design of the program group also has a certain advertising effect, because the program group does not sell Hanfu, and now the largest Hanfu sales store in China is Nishang Yuyi.

They can also design a Hanfu with a similar style to the Spring Festival Gala, and apply for intellectual property rights.

Others look at the stage effect, but Yan Xin looks at how much business opportunity this performance can bring him.

After singing a song, Yan's father said to Yan Xin: "Your friend sings so well." ”

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, I think so too." ”

His mobile phone also rang, and he received QQ messages from Feng Chen and Xiao Shiyu, all of which were telling him how good the song Gu Ru sang, and his partners were stunned.

Yan Xin turned down the volume of the TV a little bit and began to reply to them.

Chatting with his dad again.

In this way, until midnight, both father and son got out of bed, went out with firecrackers, and set off firecrackers at the door.

The custom here is like this, setting off firecrackers at 0:00 on the first day of the new year, which is called sealing the wealth gate, which is related to fortune.

When I came out, many people had already started to put it out.

In the night sky, you can see bright fireworks in all directions.

Yan Xin first lit a long set of firecrackers, then lit a box of salutes, and then took two more fireworks out and set them off.

Dad Yan was there watching, with a happy smile on his face.

This is the most fireworks in their house.

At the moment of the fireworks, their house was the brightest one in the village.

If there is anything to regret, it is that such a bright moment is only shared by their father and son.

When the fireworks were set off, Yan Xin also glanced at the southeast of the village, and saw that there were bright fireworks rising in the area of the Feng family, needless to say, it must be the Feng family setting off fireworks.

imagined Feng Xi watching the fireworks bloom, and had an idea in her heart: "I don't know if she saw the fireworks blooming on my side at this moment." ”

At this moment, at the other end of the village, Feng Xi was also looking at the northwest direction of his home, looking at the fireworks burning in the area where Yan Xin lived, thinking to himself:

"I don't know which fireworks he set off, I don't know if he saw my fireworks at this time, and if he didn't think of me."

After the fireworks were over, Yan Xin stayed outside for a few minutes, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, which was a little uncomfortable.

After looking at the fireworks outside, he finally couldn't resist the pungent air, so he went back to the house, closed the door, and went upstairs to get ready for bed.

When I was a child, I would keep the New Year, that is, I didn't sleep at night, and I usually played cards to spend the time.

Later, there were only two people left in the family, father and son, and the relationship was still very stiff, so there was no such custom.

Once the custom is broken, it is not so easy to get it back.

It's past midnight, and he has to go back to sleep.

Before going to bed, I exchanged New Year's greetings with some QQ friends, and I also sent such blessings in several QQ groups.

At this time, there was no such thing as QQ red envelopes, which also saved Yan Xin a little money.

I didn't sleep long, at five or six o'clock, I got up before dawn, worshiped God and set off firecrackers, and was lively for a while, ate a breakfast, and then went back to sleep.

I didn't wake up until noon.

It was leftovers at noon.

Gu Ru sent a lot of messages to Yan Xin, talking about what happened after the Spring Festival Gala performance, and received invitations to record programs from several TV stations, as well as invitations to several large-scale performances.

This one is to be expected.

To her surprise, several record companies approached her and wanted to sign her.

Among them is a world-renowned record label.

They knew that Gu Ru had signed with Starlight Entertainment, but they said they were willing to pay liquidated damages and spend more money to sign Gu Ru in.

In their understanding, when Gu Ru signed into Starlight Entertainment, she was just an online singer who had just made a name for herself, and she would not be treated well, even if she breached the contract, the agreed liquidated damages would not be high.

- is not a talent singer, it is unlikely to come up with a sky-high liquidated damages.

As long as the liquidated damages do not exceed one million, you will have to earn after signing.

After the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was released on the Spring Festival Gala, it can be seen from the reaction of the online platform that it is very popular, and the audience gave a very high evaluation, and even the songs she sang before were turned out to let more people know.

On the Spring Festival Gala, in less than a day, the number of CRBT downloads for this song increased by millions.

That's business value.

They made a lot of promises to Gu Ru, and the conditions offered were all the conditions that Gu Ru dreamed of.

It's just that Gu Ru still refused without any hesitation, and didn't say anything more, she only said one fact - Starlight Entertainment Company has her shares, she is not only a singer of this company, but also one of the bosses of this company.

In this way, the companies basically put out the idea of signing her over.

Everyone is one of the bosses, so how can they dig it up?

Unless the company Starlight Entertainment is acquired, people will dig it up with the company.

However, the money needed to poach a singer and buy a company is not the same, and it is not of the same magnitude at all.

Gu Ru's commercial value in their minds is not so high, and it is not worth their money.

On this Spring Festival Gala, Gu Ru's commercial value has been greatly improved, but this improvement is not unlimited, there is no such thing as singing a song on a stage and suddenly becoming a top superstar.

And her age is too old, her future potential is not very strong, in the eyes of those industry insiders, the commercial value is far less than those popular supergirls, and it is not worth investing too much money.

If he could really give a reasonable price, Yan Xin wouldn't mind selling Starlight Entertainment, as long as he kept Starlight Network.

However, he also knows that it is impossible for people to pay a high price.

If two or three years ago, someone wanted to poach her, even if she was already one of the bosses of the company, Gu Ru would choose to break the contract and run away and enter the big record company.

At that time, she still had dreams and wanted to make a difference in the music industry.

But in the past two years, the dream has gradually faded, and the age is over thirty, knowing that the upper limit is there, without the motivation to pursue the dream desperately, it is natural that he will not make that impulsive choice.

She said clearly to Yan Xin: "I'm tired now, I don't want to mix in this so-called music scene, and I don't want to blend into their circle, just exist as an outsider." I will sing songs for a year this year to earn a little pension money, and then I will completely quit the music scene, relying on the 20% shares and the money in my hands now to eat and wait for death. ”

She only became famous as an online singer last year, and she has performed everywhere throughout the year, and she is indeed quite tired.

However, I also made a lot of money, and bought two houses in Yangcheng.

Work hard for another year, eat up the dividends of those popular songs in the previous year, how can you make millions.

In the future, you don't have to work hard, you can enjoy life well.

She came up with such an idea, and a very important reason is that Yan Xin, the creator who provided her with those hit songs, has repeatedly said that he will not create any more songs.

The explanation given is that after opening a company and being the boss, I don't have that kind of mood and can't write good works.

Without good works, she is just an ordinary singer, and it is difficult to go further.

Since the ceiling is already here, it is difficult to go further, so there is no need to work harder.

Yan Xin felt some regrets that this cash cow was only going to be shaken for another year, but as a friend, he also felt that this was Gu Ru's best choice.

Running around to catch up with the performance, you can make some money, but it is really tiring.

Gu Ru has already helped him earn enough money, he should be content, and there is no need to squeeze too much.

He is a wild musician, he is not a person in the circle, and he has no resources in the circle, and he wants to make some money by relying on performances and CRBT, and in another year or two, the CRBT market will shrink, and the music business can almost be abandoned.

He also expressed his support for Gu Ru's decision.

Gu Ru originally wanted to return home to accompany her parents after singing at the Spring Festival Gala, but before she came on stage, there were more performance invitations on hand.

After the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, I received more invitations.

The price given was something she couldn't refuse.

If you refuse that price now, after this period of time, the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala will pass, and if you want to earn the same money, you will have to pay several times or even more than ten times the effort.

So she went on next.

It is unlikely that she will go home for the whole New Year, whether it is her home in Yangcheng or her parents' home.

Anyway, I haven't been home for the New Year for many years before, and it's not bad this year.

Strike while the iron is hot, and earn the money as soon as possible, so that you can retire earlier.

Yan Xin also talked to her, that is, she hoped that she would wear a hanfu with a neon raincoat in future performances - to add this condition.

The shop of Brick TV is too big, and being able to participate in the show is earning, and I dare not add my own conditions.

But when you go to perform somewhere else, you don't have to be so careful, you can sing in your own clothes.

Of course, she will not be allowed to do such a thing in vain, and the endorsement fee will still be appropriately given.

Even if it's a very good price, at least it will be given.

Of course, Gu Ru had no objection to this, and said with a smile:

"When I retire in the future, I'll use your endorsement to make some money."

"That's not it," Yan Xin told her, "and when paid music becomes popular on the Internet in the future, you can easily make a lot of money by relying on these songs." ”

On the first day of junior high school, Brick TV also had a party, and Yan Xin still watched TV with his father in the evening.

I stayed at home all day and didn't go anywhere.

In the second year of junior high school, it was different.

I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to some relatives.

Even if there are some relatives who are more disgusting relatives in Yan Xin's previous life, there is no family affection in the back, but in order to make his father happier, he still followed.

drove the car, carrying his father, carrying gifts, and greeting the New Year one by one.

Some just meet for a New Year's greeting, drop a bag of candy, a few bottles of canned food or something, drink a cup of tea and leave.

Some will also have a meal.

Some even stay overnight.

In the past, when I went to visit the New Year, people's attitudes were quite ordinary, and some didn't even keep food, for fear that those who had a good relationship would ask them to borrow money.

It's different now, now Yan Xin is driving a car, and he knows that he is developed at a glance, even if it is a relative with a very average relationship, his attitude is quite enthusiastic, and every family is enthusiastic to keep them for dinner.

This also made Yan Xin fully feel what is called human warmth.

In his previous life, he only felt the coldness of human affection, but did not feel the warmth of human affection.

After being reborn, he changed his life against the sky, and in the eyes of his relatives, he became a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan and a house and a car, and he felt a lot of enthusiasm at once.

has long understood this truth, but really experiencing such a thing still makes him quite emotional.

On the fourth day of junior high school, Xiao Shiyu also called him, saying that a classmate's reunion was set for the fifth day of junior high school, and asked him if he had time to attend.

At this time, Yan Xin was visiting his aunt's house for the New Year, and he also had an itinerary on the fifth day of the new year, so he couldn't come out at all.

He asked if he could postpone the time for another two days, and Xiao Shiyu said that some old classmates were going to leave for work in the sixth year of junior high school, and there was no way to postpone the time.

Yan Xin actually wanted to participate in this class reunion a little bit, and he also had the psychological need to pretend to be forced.

Imagine driving a Mercedes Benz in front of those who usually look down on you and slapping them in the face, how refreshing it would be?

It's exciting to think about it.

Unfortunately, I couldn't squeeze out the time, so I had to give up this party.

I told Xiao Shiyu that the next time I want to have a class reunion, I don't want to do it after the New Year, and I will have one before the New Year.

Xiao Shiyu also agreed.

The last New Year's greeting was a relative in another town, Yan Xin's aunt and grandmother, his grandfather's sister, an old man in his seventies.

In Yan Xin's generation, he is no longer a wealthy relative, and he is not very familiar with those old watches, and he can't even correspond to their names.

It's just that for Yan's father, it is still a very close elder, although there is not much deep family affection, but as a junior, he should still go to the New Year during the New Year.

There he gave a pair of famous wine, some canned candy and nutritious food, and gave the old man a hundred yuan, had a lunch, and then went home.

On the way home, Yan's father sighed to Yan Xin: "This time I came out to pay New Year's greetings, and those people finally treated our father and son as human beings." ”

He didn't know about the estrangement of his relatives before, but the etiquette was there, and he had to go by himself, and if he didn't go, he would find more criticism.

In fact, I was still quite unhappy when I went.

No one likes to feel disliked.

This time, his son drove a Mercedes-Benz to support the scene, and there was no one who disliked him, and there were even faint signs of scolding him.

worked hard all his life, but he was always looked down upon, and finally asked his son to help him pick up the lost face.

For a few years, he didn't take Yan Xin with him to pay New Year's greetings, on the one hand, Yan Xin rejected the past, and on the other hand, he didn't want to take his son to be disliked.

This time, I wanted to take Yan Xin to visit the New Year, and I didn't have the idea of slapping them in the face with my son.

It can be regarded as raising eyebrows.

Yan Xin could feel his father's emotions, and said with a smile: "If you want them to respect you more, next year's New Year, each family will throw them a piece of Huazi, and they will have to be flattered when they see you." ”

Father Yan hurriedly said: "It's unnecessary, it's too wasteful." In fact, the gifts given this year are a little more expensive. As long as we drive in the car, even if we don't give any gifts, they can treat us as individuals. ”

In fact, he didn't have too deep feelings for those relatives, after all, there were few people who helped him during the most difficult time.

It's just that the rules have always been like this, if you don't do this, you will be scolded, and he can only do this, and give the full amount of courtesy.

He will also feel distressed about how much money his son will spend to buy their favor.

In his mind, the favor of those relatives was not so valuable.
