Chapter 402: Dreams
Monday, December 17, the eighth day of the 11th lunar month.
After breakfast that day, Feng Xi went to school, while Yan Xin went to the airport - he bought a ticket to Flying Star City that morning.
If he hadn't driven back to his hometown, he would have flown back to Yangcheng directly.
Now the car is still parked in the city, he has to fly to Star City first, then take the train back to the city, and then drive his Mercedes Benz back to Yangcheng.
Although there are some troubles, at least it saves a little time compared to taking the train back, but it is just a little more money.
It's too slow to take the train back.
At this time, he was extremely looking forward to the appearance of high-speed rail.
It's a pity that it will take some time for the high-speed rail of this line to open to traffic, and now we can only accept such inconvenience.
By the time he got back into his Mercedes, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
It's a lot faster than taking the train.
Then I got on the highway and drove in the direction of Yangcheng.
On the way, you have to pass through Star City once.
It's something that can't be helped.
The car drove until more than eight o'clock in the evening, did not drive, parked in a service area, and slept there for a night.
I also sent a message to Arily, telling her that she would be there tomorrow at noon, and asking her to get lunch ready.
The next day, Alili didn't go to work, so she stayed at home and made a hearty lunch to wash Yan Xin's dust.
When Yan Xin arrived home, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and Alili was busy in the kitchen at this time.
He wanted to go over to help, but was pushed away by Arily:
"You've been driving hard, go to bed and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you're eating."
Yan Xin thought, after not seeing each other for so long, the two of them may have a dry firewood fire at that time, and they need to recuperate.
- Arily is empty there these days, but he is not idle, it is not good to take a good rest, I am afraid that he will not be able to do even the most basic communication.
Although it can be pushed to be tired and in a bad state after driving all the way, it is a shame for a man to prevaricate with such an excuse.
It's better to take a break.
So he didn't insist and went back to the bedroom to rest.
Before going to bed, I secretly took out a box of wolfberries from the depths of the closet, grabbed a handful and swallowed it.
While doing this, the bedroom door was closed, and he was careful to keep an eye on the movement outside to make sure no one would notice.
After eating, he hid the box of wolfberries again, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.
By the time he woke up, it was past 12 noon.
It wasn't Alili who told him to get up and eat, but Gu Ru.
- During this time, Gu Ru lived here with Alili, and during the day, Alili went to work, and she went to the recording studio to record songs.
Sometimes the two of them would eat together at noon, and sometimes she would have a boxed lunch at the studio.
Dinner is eaten together every day, and we live together, and after eating, we take a walk, and then go home to take a shower and sleep.
With a companion this way, it won't be so lonely.
Madoka also eats with them in the evening, but after eating, she goes to the show.
Sometimes when you have a performance opportunity in another place, you can't be together.
When she was in Yangcheng, she usually didn't go home until one or two o'clock in the morning at night, for fear of making them sleep, so she didn't live with them.
Gu Ru has rested for such a long time, her schedule and rest are already normal, and she won't sleep until the middle of the night.
This time Yan Xin came back, and Alili not only called Gu Ru over for dinner, but also called Xiaoyuan and Chen Li over.
They are all friends, they all live in a community, and it is a little more lively for a few more people to eat together.
When the meal was ready, Gu Ru came over to wake up Yan Xin.
When he entered the bedroom, Yan Xin was still sleeping.
He was lying on his back on the bed, snoring through his nose.
It's not very loud, but it's also very clear.
"In broad daylight, this guy can sleep."
Gu Rudi muttered, walked to the side of the bed, lifted the quilt directly, and said, "The meal is ready, it's time to get up and eat!"
The quilt was lifted, and Yan Xin inside was wearing pajamas and pajamas.
Gu Ru was so disappointed, thinking to herself, "Sleeping in his own house with his clothes on, this guy is so perverted!"
I despise this person very much, and he is not frank enough at all.
However, when his eyes moved down, he saw a big bulging lump, and he couldn't help blinking, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Pondering: "If you are worthy of being a capitalist, you will have capital at a glance."
Seeing that Yan Xin hadn't woken up yet, he slapped Yan Xin again and raised his voice:
"Yan Xin, stop dreaming, hurry up and eat."
This slap woke Yan Xin up, startled him, and sat up from the bed all of a sudden: "Who? Why?"
Then I saw Gu Ru standing beside the bed, and I was puzzled:
"Sister Ru, why are you here?"
Gu Ru said, "Your wife has prepared a meal and asked you to come over for dinner."
Yan Xin sighed and said, "Okay, wait for me for two minutes, change your clothes."
Then he glanced at Gu Ru again.
Gu Ru walked outside, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, are you still shy? Afraid I'll peek at you?"
Yan Xin hurriedly said, "I don't mean that, I know Sister Ru, you're not that kind of person."
Gu Ru turned around and laughed, "You have a very accurate eye for seeing people!"
Walk out of the room and close the door.
Chen Li asked in the restaurant, "Are you awake?"
"I've woken up, and I'm going to change my clothes." Gu Ru said.
Arily and Madoka were bringing all the food in the kitchen, one of the two lazy people was sitting at the table and waiting, and the other went to wake Yan Xin up.
Within two minutes, Yan Xin changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom, and said to them:
"I'm sorry, I drove from my hometown, and I was a little tired when I came back, and I slept too hard to accompany you."
"It's okay, we're already lively enough together, it's almost the same with you or not." Gu Ru said.
"When you say that, I feel a little lost."
Yan Xin sat down.
Then he asked Chen Li next to him, "How are you now?" Is it still well written?"
He hadn't discussed anything with Chen Li in a while.
The outline is almost done, and the characters are all there, and there is not much he can help with.
He has also seen Chen Li's, he is becoming more and more proficient, and he is already a mature author, so he doesn't need to stare at it every day like before.
"It's quite smoothly written, and the follow-up hasn't been dropped." Chen Lidao.
Speaking of which, he is quite proud.
Now he also feels that he has grown up, although he still needs Yan Xin's creativity, but at least he is not as dependent as before.
"Yes," Yan Xin said, "I don't have a computer in my hometown these days, so I can't watch you, but I watched it a while ago, and it's really getting more and more exciting."
Gu Ru interjected: "That must be exciting, I still expect him to pay me back when the manuscript fee comes down."
"You don't have to worry about this, as soon as the royalties are settled next month, there will be absolutely no problem in repaying your money." Yan Xin made a guarantee for Chen Li.
asked Gu Ru how the recording was going.
"Almost, there are two songs I want to try again to see if I can get better, anyway, I just don't delay the release at the end of the year." Gu Ru said.
said and sighed: "When the record is recorded, I will work hard for a month or two, and by the way, I will brush up on my sense of existence and promote the record, and then I will have to quit the rivers and lakes."
"That's a big loss for the music world!" Chen Li patted his ass.
"There is no shortage of people like me in the music world," Gu Ru was very sober, "It's the same with me or not, me."
It's not as good as those young and beautiful, the strength is not enough, the appearance is not enough, and then the development is just like that, there is no need, I am too tired all these years."
"It's time for you to rest," Yan Xin said, "Your story has been written, you have left your mark on the music world, and you have reached a height that many people can't reach, and you should enjoy life next."
Madoka came out with a plate of food and said, "I want to work hard for another two years and enjoy life to the fullest."
"You're still young, and you can roam for another ten years." Gu Ru said with a smile.
Now Xiaoyuan is twenty years old, and he is only thirty years old after ten years of wandering, which is not as old as Gu Ru now.
Xiaoyuan shook his head: "I don't want to fight for so long, I will work for another three years at most, and then I won't do it, and I will be my charter wife."
She is now making money by buying a house, buying a house and then renting it out, using the rent to pay off the mortgage, and waiting for the house to appreciate.
At a young age, she is already a little rich woman, and she became it by her own efforts.
In this regard, she is already better than most of her peers.
Sometimes Arily admires her, and thinks that this small body contains a lot of energy.
Gu Ru also likes her more.
Not only because she can make sycophants, but also because she works hard enough, works hard to make money, and works hard to improve her singing skills.
When Madoka first signed into the company, she actually didn't have any singing skills at all, and she wasn't even so good at simple scores.
Later, I lived with Gu Ru, asked her for advice when I was free, studied with her, and slowly improved my singing skills and musical literacy a lot.
At the same time, she is also working hard to earn money by singing.
Later, Gu Ru was away from home for a long time, and she enrolled in a vocal training class by herself and worked hard to improve herself.
Tired is indeed much more tired than the average person.
What she has now, she deserves.
Anyway, Gu Ru thinks so.
She also told Yan Xin a few times in private that she could write a few more songs for this little girl, so that this little girl could take a step forward in her career and become a real singer, not an Internet singer.
Yan Xin really wanted to help this little girl, but he couldn't say it because he was bitter - not that he didn't want to, but that he really didn't have that ability, and all the songs he remembered had been taken out as early as last year.
At that time, I wanted to make quick money, and I didn't have time to stock up, so I naturally took out what I remembered.
Now I want to again, but I can't make it up.
If it's okay to just have one or two sentences, then you can still find a batch.
But just relying on these two lines of lyrics and songs to make a whole song, he really doesn't have that ability.
I can only tell the truth - I really don't have the ability to create.
However, in order to make Gu Ru feel more comfortable, he still promised - if he has the ability to create again, he will definitely give priority to creating a few songs for Xiaoyuan.
That being said, he knew that promise would never be kept.
How many pounds and taels you have, don't you know yourself?
Xiaoyuan has discovered a solo album belonging to her this year, which contains a few songs written by Yan Xin for her, and a few songs that were fished out of the Starlight Network Music Forum, all of which are popular songs voted by netizens.
That solo album was sold online, and more than 10,000 copies were sold in half a year, and the results were not very good, but Madoka was already quite satisfied.
After all, it was her first solo album.
Many people record records, but they can't sell a single one, so they can only give it away, and they have to beg someone to listen to it.
She was able to sell more than 10,000 copies, which means that more than 10,000 people have recognized her identity as a singer, which is a huge success for her.
The income brought to her by this record is negligible, and for the company, after deducting various costs, it is even a loss of money.
But now the physical record industry is like this, there are a lot of people who listen to songs, and the number of people who are willing to consume is actually quite a lot, but piracy is too rampant, so that genuine records are basically losing money.
Even some head singers don't make money making records.
But this is the promise that Starlight Entertainment made to those signed artists at the beginning, to release a solo album for them, so even if they lose money, they have to do it.
Fortunately, it has its own online sales channels and its own online publicity channels, and there is no additional money spent on publicity, and it is not much to lose money.
During the meal, when talking about this, Gu Ru said that he didn't have much hope for the sales of his record.
She is now more famous than Madoka, and Yan Xin has written more than a dozen songs for her, each of which is highly sung, so if she makes an album, the sales should be much higher than that of Madoka.
In addition, in terms of publicity, the company's efforts will be greater.
The passing mark she drew for herself was to sell 50,000 copies.
100,000 for excellence.
If she can achieve such a result, she feels that her life is worth it, and she has not come to the music scene in vain.
When she said this, everyone disagreed.
Alili said: "Sister Ru, you are my favorite female singer, there is no one in my heart, your record sales must be more than 100,000 copies."
Madoka nodded vigorously: "I think I have to have at least 200,000 to make a foundation, and it is possible to break through to 500,000."
"Who do you look down on?" Chen Li waved his hand, "Who is Sister Ru?" The new diva of the music world! And these songs of hers are all created by our best songwriter Sanjin, they are really a strong combination, the two together, I will say one number, one million!"
Gu Ru laughed happily: "You guys just blow it! Genuine records, even the king and queen can't reach that kind of sales now!"
It's true that there are records that sell millions, but they don't necessarily appear once a year.
appeared, and it was all phenomenal.
The combination of offline pirated records and free resources online has forced the physical record industry to death.
In this era, it is a bit whimsical to want to have millions of sales.
Yan Xin also smiled and joined in the fun: "One million, that's still underestimating our Sister Ru, I think it can be comparable to Daolang's album of "The First Snow in 2002".
"Be bold and surpass him!" Chen Lidao.
Gu Ru smiled even more happily: "Don't say surpass him, if you can reach one-tenth of that record, I invite a few of you to travel abroad!"
"Then it's settled!" Chen Lidao.
That's what I said, but no one took it seriously.
Because they know in their hearts that a tenth is impossible to achieve.
That's what the hell the genuine record looks like, there's no way.
After eating, everyone didn't disperse, so they stayed at Yan Xin's house and chatted, until dinner time, and they didn't bother to cook by themselves, so they went out to eat together.
During this period, they also got up to say goodbye, but they were all sincerely retained by Yan Xin.
The main reason is that Yan Xin feels that he is not very satisfied with his physical recovery, and it is necessary to recuperate his spirit.
Today, Ellilie took leave and didn't go to work, and if they all left, it might be a fierce battle.
He felt that he had not fully recovered his fitness, so he had to stall.
For dinner, Gu Ru was a treat, and he specially ordered two dishes that were said to be very replenishing to cheer himself up.
Arily kept a smile on her face most of the time, but occasionally looked at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
In such a situation, Yan Xin could only avoid her gaze and not look at her.
After eating, everyone walked all the way home.
Only Madoka did not follow them, but hurriedly took a taxi after eating, preparing for the performance.
This time, Gu Ru was very interesting, until they met again after a long absence, and did not follow Yan
Xin lived in the family, but went back to his own home.
At this time, if Yan Xin wants to keep her, he can also keep her.
Keep the words as a light bulb to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
However, after delaying for so long, Yan Xin felt that he could do it again, so he didn't keep it.
It was only that night that he understood how terrible it was for an adult woman who was suffering from lovesickness to see her lover.
He thought he could do it, but he still couldn't.
It's not that he can't do it, it's that Arily is too good.
In the middle of the night, it can be regarded as the real silence.
At that time, Yan Xin felt that his waist was about to break.
He said to Arily, "I'm going to sign up for a fitness class in two days and exercise well, but I still feel a little unhealthy."
"You're in great shape." Ellily said seriously.
"But I think I could have been better." Yan Xin said.
If there was only Alili alone, and the two of them stayed together for a long time, Yan Xin felt that he could handle it, and it was more than enough.
But there is also a Feng Xi.
Then he will suffer a little physically.
The three of them are not together, but even so.
If the three of them are together one day, with his current physical fitness, I am afraid that he will become medicine residue every two years.
Although the possibility of being together is very small, he still feels that he needs to prepare for it and make his physical fitness better.
What if?
What if one day the dream comes true?
