Chapter 52: Qunfang Election Assembly
In the winter of 1926, Laba Festival.
Qin Di received an invitation from Du Yuesheng, inviting him, the boss of "EMI Records", to participate in the "Great World Qunfang Election Conference" and be a judge in the final session of the song.
To put it bluntly, this is a beauty contest, and most of the participants are Qinglou women, but because of the May Fourth Movement, the female *** is becoming more and more intense, and women from good families can also participate.
Qin Di was originally not interested in this matter, but Qin Yue said that he had made an appointment with Lu Xiaoman, Xu Zhimo, Zhang Hatshui, Zhuo Qingqiu and others to see the excitement, so he moved in his heart and also took Yan Xue to participate.
When he arrived at the scene, he found that there were a total of eighteen judges, in addition to five pure musicians, there were also three film company owners, heads of three major record companies, and the head of the magic capital, in addition to that. The Qingbai Party came with a local leader, the Big Red Party did not come because of its reputation, and a special person, Li Yuanhong, who stepped down from the presidency.
Li Yuanhong is only in his early sixties, but his complexion is dull and he looks a little old.
Among the judges present, one half is over fifty years old, and the rest are in their thirties and forties. Qin Di is a relatively young handsome guy.
Some people nodded at Qin Di, some looked at him and snickered, and some whispered: "Huh, isn't this guy a heavenly eunuch? How dare you come out to see the girl?"
Qin Di glared at the man, then held back his anger and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Du Yuesheng was frightened, hurriedly walked over, and said to him: "Mr. Zhang, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth, there are some people you can't afford to provoke." ”
The man's body trembled, and he quickly nodded: "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”
After waiting for a while, more and more viewers came in after buying tickets.
Yan Xue's life is too beautiful, and she is constantly accosted by others, so she is so annoyed that she covers half of her face and hides in a corner of the hall. Seeing Qin Yue come in, she walked out.
Qin Yue didn't see her, and pulled her to introduce her friend: "This is my sister, how is it? It's much more beautiful than the Oiran over there, doesn't it look like a fairy daughter?"
Those people each showed a look of envy, and some people had seen Yan Xue before, and knew that she often appeared by Qin Di's side, so they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Zhang Hatshui was amazed: "When I saw Miss Yan Xue, the heroine in my book has fallen!"
Some people even wanted to compose poems on the spot, but there was a mess around them, and they couldn't write them for a while.
Xu Zhimo looked at Qin Di on the rostrum, and he was angry, and said in his mouth: "Qin Yue, does your brother understand music?
Qin Yue said with a smile: "The invitation was originally sent to my father, but my father was afraid to come, so my brother came." ”
Everyone laughed, but they didn't know that Du Yuesheng invited Qin Di.
On the rostrum, Zhang Naijing's uncle Zhang Mofeng sat next to Qin Di and asked with a smile: "Qin Shao, I heard that you bought Baidai Company, right?"
Qin Di nodded: "Yes, I'm joking." ”
Zhang Mofeng smiled and said: "You are not young anymore, men love women, it is just an ordinary thing, and if you fancy which girl you like later, you might as well leave a name post and let Mr. Du send it to your house." ”
Qin Di shook his head slightly: "You said you were laughing." The child's skills I practiced, before I practiced it, I was not close to women. ”
Zhang Mofeng was taken aback: "Which evil skill have you practiced? The Qin family is still counting on you to pass on the ancestry!"
Someone next to him heard it and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Di.
In these years, a man can get married at sixteen or seventeen, how can he still practice Tongzi Gong at the age of twenty-six? Therefore, when Qin Di said this, it was clearly an excuse for "inhumaneness"!
Li Yuanhong coughed dryly, "haha" and said with a smile: "There is Sima Qian in the front, and Li Yannian in the back, those who can achieve great things are all strange men!"
There was a laugh of "eat and eat" on the rostrum.
Qin Di turned his head to look at Li Yuanhong, with a smile on his face, and said, "President, you have to pay attention to your body, otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't live for five years." ”
Hearing this, everyone showed surprised expressions.
Qin Di dared to say this because Li Yuanhong had been out of power for four years and had long lost his power, and since Cao Kun came to power, his life has become more and more miserable, and he was even forced to flee to Japan, and then came to the magic capital to accept Du Yuesheng's help.
Li Yuanhong was angry in his heart, and he coughed even more in his mouth.
"Hmph, not a son of man...... Don't listen to people...... I'm helping you, I can't tell the difference between good and bad!"
Du Yuesheng regretted it beside her, and said secretly: "I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have invited Mr. Qin to come." Mr. Qin's skills are profound, and he is young and rich, but he is too arrogant, and it is easy to offend people between words. ”
The people present didn't dare to look at Qin Di more, for fear that he would say again: "Your yang life is over"!
Although it is said that everyone will die, no one wants to listen to unlucky words.
Yan Xue's ears are also very sensitive, and when she heard the words of the people on the stage from afar, she couldn't help but "poof", her face was full of shame, and she laughed wildly.
The men around him were stunned!
"Oh my God, this girl is so good-looking! A smile captivates the city, and then a smile captivates the country! The ancients were honest and did not deceive me!"
Lu Xiaoman kicked Xu Zhimo twice, and finally kicked him awake.
Zhuo Qingqiu was also disgraced, but quickly regained his senses, looked around, observed the surrounding dynamics, and gathered more information.
Qin Yue reached out and pulled Yan Xue's ears: "You little girl, you are not allowed to laugh! Laugh and tear your mouth again! Why are you laughing for no reason? Don't you know that it will kill someone?"
Yan Xue covered her ears and said, "Sister Yue'er, Mr. Qin annoyed the president on stage, and he was so angry that he wanted to die!"
"Really, what the hell did he say?"
"He said that the great president will not live for five years! At such an old age, he still can't control his mouth and talk nonsense!"
"Huh, is my brother crazy, how dare you be disrespectful to the president?"
"Mr. Qin is not crazy, because the president provoked him first......"
"What did the president say?"
Yan Xue couldn't speak, her face was blushing, and she pursed her lips.
Qin Yue didn't comply, and she had to twist her ears again: "You little girl, you're getting naughty and naughty!"
At this time, the cabaret performance of the Oiran draft finally began.
Because it is the finals, there are a total of thirty contestants left, each of whom goes up to sing a song, which is scored by eighteen judges, and the scores add up to the total score.
The people on the stage were all young and beautiful women, with a pair of eyes, smiling smartly, looking at the referee, and there were a lot of eyes on Qin Di's face.
Helplessly, Qin Di's face was expressionless, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, I don't know if he was wandering out of the world, or if he was really a eunuch, and he couldn't see a woman scratching his head and making a gesture.
About two hours passed, and the game ended.
Qin Di got up and said to Du Yuesheng: "Trouble Mr. Du, notify No. 9 and No. 14 to ask for their opinions, and whether you are willing to sign a three-year agreement with Baidai Company." This matter does not have to be forced. ”
Du Yuesheng hurriedly agreed: "This is a good thing, and it can be regarded as their creation." ”
