Chapter 22 Newspaper Covers
The early morning sun fell straight down, illuminating the billboards all over the street, and Lao Zhou hummed a little song and opened the door of the newsstand neatly.
I turned on the tape recorder and inserted a tape into the tape recorder in a box filled with various tapes next to it.
Zizi Zizi......
The tape recorder made a cracking sound, then began to spin.
Knock knock knock......
With a melodious flute, the music began to play.
[Hi Ha, Hi Ha, Hi Ha......]
【Heaven and Earth are in a hurry】
[The tide rises and falls]
[Grievances, grievances, life and death]
[How many people can see through]
……
Through the radio, Ye Qianwen's loud voice began to come out.
Since this song "Walk Away in Style" was broadcast last year as the treasure island TV series "Four Youths in Beijing", it has quickly become popular in the entire Chinese-speaking region.
Ye Qianwen also relied on this song to become the hottest female singer in the current Chinese music scene.
For a middle-aged rough man like Lao Zhou, this song "Walking in Style" is simply a divine comedy in the song, which makes him want to listen to it again and again.
Listening to the song, Lao Zhou began to move newspapers and magazines to the wooden board at the door.
Many of these newspapers and magazines have expired, but there are usually many customers who miss the day of the sale.
After neatly placing the magazines and newspapers, Lao Zhou moved a chair and lay down, waiting for the guests while waiting for today's newspaper to be delivered to the door.
As the sun in the sky gradually rose, there were gradually more people on the street, and a few guests came to the door, but they were all people who wanted the latest newspapers, and Lao Zhou didn't have them yet, so they could only leave with regret.
Finally, after sending off another customer who had bought the day's newspaper but was out of stock, the pickup truck that delivered the newspaper today was finally late.
"Why is it so late today, I have missed a lot of guests!"
Lao Zhou complained while helping to move the goods down.
"You can't blame us, it's these newspapers that are dragging their feet, and it is said that they temporarily changed the article last night!"
The delivery brother said helplessly.
Hearing this, Lao Zhou's eyes lit up, "Is there big news?" ”
Having sold newspapers for more than ten years, Lao Zhou is too familiar with the operation process of major newspapers.
In order to pursue the timeliness of the news, many newspapers print the news of the day on the same night, and then sell it to their distributors the next day.
Among them, there will also be unexpected situations, such as yesterday evening, if there is a more topical news on the spot, the newspaper will temporarily change the manuscript and print.
Although the revision is only a very simple word, its procedure is still quite troublesome.
Newspapers need to work overtime to reformat the newspaper, brush off the less attractive news and replace it with more attractive news.
Every time the newspaper is revised, it will affect the manufacturer's newspaper printing, and it will also lead to the slow arrival of the newspaper.
However, although the delivery truck will be late every time this happens, Lao Zhou likes this situation very much.
He wished that the newspaper would revise its manuscript every day.
Because it means that there is big news, if not big news, it will be more attractive news.
This kind of news tends to attract a lot of people to buy newspapers, which doubles his income for the day or two.
"I don't know if it's big news, but I heard that a new singer has debuted, and their company has made great efforts, and many newspapers have printed his news."
The delivery guy put the last stack of newspapers on the ground and said as he walked to the driver's seat.
"That's ......"
Hearing this, Lao Zhou was a little disappointed.
He also knew that the record company was buying the news column in the newspaper in order to promote the newcomer.
Among them, of course, there are also very popular newcomers, such as Aaron Kwok and Lin Zhiying last time.
He made a lot of money because of these two people that time.
But there are too few people like them who are so popular, and most of the time, the newcomers launched by these record companies are basically lost in the sea, and they don't attract too many people's attention at all.
Therefore, Lao Zhou was very disappointed, he thought that he had met this kind of newcomer who hit the street after his debut.
However, Lao Zhou's thinking changed immediately after he opened the stack of newspapers.
Because, he found that the guy named Chen Qiming seemed to be a little extraordinary.
He flipped through more than a dozen different newspapers and found that the covers of these newspapers were actually this Chen Qiming.
"Aaron Kwok Concert, Senior Brother Chen Qiming Steals the Limelight"
"A song "Princess" amazed the four seats, causing countless fans to sing together"
"A strong newcomer Chen Qiming who combines creation, singing, and handsome appearance"
Be careful! After the little whirlwind Lin Zhiying, another gust of wind is about to sweep the treasure island music scene"
Good guy, after reading these titles, Lao Zhou was shocked.
He remembered that the last time a newcomer occupied the front cover of major newspapers, it seemed to be Aaron Kwok!
Even Lin Zhiying, before his record took off, although there was news to promote him, he had never been so powerful.
"Wow! Boss, who is this person, so handsome! ”
Lao Zhou was still sighing, and suddenly a guest came.
It's a couple of little girls.
"Oh my God! So handsome! ”
"I decided, in addition to the Little Tigers and Lin Zhiying, I have added another person who is a fan, and it is this Chen Qiming."
Before Lao Zhou could react, a few little girls began to chatter, and several girls also took a newspaper in their hands, looking nymphomaniac.
"Ahem, ahem!" Seeing this, Lao Zhou's business cells suddenly began to attack, and he pointed to the handsome Chen Qiming in the newspaper and said:
"This person is amazing, he sang a song "Princess" and cried more than 10,000 people, it is said that he robbed Aaron Kwok's fans at the Aaron Kwok concert! It's amazing, I've been selling newspapers for so many years, and it's the first time I've met such a powerful person! ”
"Really?" A few of the little girls were obviously not convinced.
"It's true, see for yourselves! is handsome like this, and can sing, isn't it very worthy of your fans? ”
Lao Zhou's face was flat, and he looked like I was lying and thundering five times a day.
Then, he smiled and said, "Do you want to have more?" The photo on this is an out-of-print cover, and it won't be available in the future, so you should take this opportunity to collect a few more! ”
Lao Zhou's newsstand not only sells newspapers, but also sells record tapes, so he is too familiar with these little girls.
They will spend money for the sake of fan idols.
Let's just talk about fans of the Little Tigers.
Every day, they would come to their newspaper office to find a newspaper with a photo of the Little Tigers.
When they find it, they buy the newspaper and take it home, cut out the photo from the newspaper and stick it on their bedside.
Even, in order to find some out-of-print photos and posters, some fans can even skip class for a day and have been squatting outside his newsstand to rummage.
"Do you want it?"
"I don't care about you, I think it's too handsome anyway, I want one!"
"Me too, so handsome, I don't know if I can see him again in the future, in the future, he will be my boyfriend."
A few little girls discussed it, and then one of them bought three newspapers with different photos from Lao Zhou.
No, in Lao Zhou's eyes, this is a newspaper, but in the eyes of these little girls, this is their husband and their boyfriend.
