The plane landed at the Imperial Capital Airport.

Du Xuancheng sent his assistant to pick up the plane, a female assistant, who looked in her thirties, ordinary in appearance, but exuded a sense of ability.

She led Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcia into an Alpha business car.

"Teacher Xiao, listen to Miss Cicada, Director Du has booked a box at the Chunmanlou Hotel, waiting for you. ”

"Okay, let's go straight to it. Xiao Chu replied.

Then Alpha went straight to the Chunmanlou Hotel.

Liu Jie sat in the co-pilot and chatted with the female assistant all the way.

Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcia sat in the second row, not talking much, Xia Tingcicada looked at the scenery outside the window, Xiao Chu occasionally looked at her, and occasionally looked at the scenery outside the window on the other side.

Xiao Ai was in the third row, she didn't dare to look at Sister Cicada or Teacher Xiao, and lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.

In fact, this signing is Xiao Chu's personal matter, it is he who signed the contract with Dong Chun, and it has nothing to do with Xia Tingciao's three daughters.

However, Xiao Chu excused himself for not knowing much about signing a contract, so in order to avoid pitfalls, he asked Liu Jie to help him.

With Xia listening to the cicada talking beside her, of course Liu Jie would not refuse.

So, Xiao Chu flew to the imperial capital with the cicada goddess openly.

The last time he came to the imperial capital, he was sneaky.

This time, you can sit together in a dignified manner, and occasionally take advantage of Liu Jie's inattention, and you can also hold Xia Tingcicada's little hand, which is wonderful.

......

When they arrived at the Chunmanlou Hotel, Du Xuancheng and Dong Chun were already waiting there.

"Teacher Xiao, Miss Tingciao, Ms. Liu, and Miss Xiao Ai, they have worked hard all the way!" Du Xuancheng poured tea for them.

At this time, he was smiling, although he was still bearded and had long hair, but after getting acquainted with it, he didn't feel so greasy and obscene.

Xiao Ai heard him call himself and remembered the last time he was a bad person, Xiao Yuan's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

After Dong Chun's previous affair with Liu Jie was revealed, he also let go at this time, becoming generous and bold.

"Teacher Xiao, do you think we will let the waiter serve the food first, and then read the contract after you pick up the wind and wash the dust, and now we will do the business first, and then eat and drink at will?" Du Xuancheng asked.

Xiao Chu said with a smile: "Director Du, Teacher Dong, let's get down to business first, after finishing it, we don't have any thoughts, and it tastes more delicious to eat and drink." ”

"Okay, listen to you, I've already asked the company to draw up the contract, you can take a look. Du Xuancheng asked the assistant to hand the printed contract to Xiao Chu and Liu Jie.

After going to the Copyright Office to register in the morning, Xiao Chu had already sent the lyrics and songs of "Jing Zhong Serving the Country" to Du Xuancheng and Dong Chun respectively.

After reading the lyrics, Du Xuancheng was very satisfied, there was not a single word that needed to be changed, it was simply the best interpretation and annotation of "The Northern Expedition of the King".

And Dong Chun tried to sing it twice in front of the score, and he was also very amazed by this song, so he called Xiao Chu at that time, expressing his love for this song and his admiration for Xiao Chu.

He debuted at the age of nineteen and has been in the music industry for more than 20 years, and he has never encountered a song that makes him so amazing.

He said from the bottom of his heart at the time that "Serving the Country with Loyalty" was the most heroic and infectious song he had encountered so far.

As a singer, he has no regrets in his life when he encounters such a song.

The signing was very smooth, and many details, before arriving in the imperial capital, Liu Jie had already come forward and communicated with Du Xuancheng and Dong Chun.

After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Xiao Chu signed a contract with Dong Chun.

Priced according to the identity of the first-class creator, in terms of copyright, like the two songs that Xiao Chu sold to Zhili before, the singing rights, network communication rights, broadcasting rights, etc., as well as the commercial authorization as the theme song of "Wang Shi's Northern Expedition".

500,000 yuan for singing rights, 500,000 yuan for commercial authorization, adding up to 1 million yuan, and it is after tax.

Dong Chun had already prepared the money and transferred it to Xiao Chu on the spot.

Then Dong Chun signed a theme song contract with Du Xuancheng, which had nothing to do with Xiao Chu.

After the three parties have completed the contract, the food will be served.

Xiao Chu, Liu Jie, Du Xuancheng, Dong Chun, and Du Xuancheng's assistants all drank a lot of wine.

Xia listened to cicadas and Xiao Ai, and drank drinks.

First, in order to protect her throat, Xia Tingcicada rarely drinks alcohol, and second, she herself is not much interested in wine.

That time she was drunk and ran to the Taoyuan community, which was the first time in her life that she was depressed and rarely drunk.

drunk once, I met Xiao Chu, and it was also fate.

After eating, it was already dark.

Du Xuancheng arranged a room for Xiao Chu and them, just upstairs in this Chunmanlou Hotel.

Xia Tingcicada is one, Liu Jie and Xiao Ai are one, and Xiao Chu is one.

Xiao Chu's room, opposite Xia Tingcicada.

But nothing happened at night, because Liu Jie stayed late in Xia Tingcicada's room.

After Liu Jie left, Xiao Chu wanted to go to Zhizhi again to talk for a while, but Xia Tingcia refused and ate a closed door.

Xiao Ai, who came out of the house, covered her mouth and smiled when she saw Teacher Xiao being blocked from the door.

When Xiao Chu looked over, she quickly turned her head to look at the other side of the corridor, pretending not to see it.

Xiao Chu saw the "sensible" appearance of the round-faced little girl, touched her nose, and returned to her room with some embarrassment.

The second half of the night was honest.

Early the next morning, when the four of them were eating buffet breakfast in the hotel, Liu Jie received a strange phone call.

Although it was an unfamiliar number, Liu Jie thought about it for a while, but still connected: "Hey, hello!"

"Hello, are you Ms. Liu Jieliu? I am Zheng Xia, deputy director of the production department of CCTV Spring Festival Gala. A crisp female voice came over the phone.

"Deputy Director of the Production Department of CCTV Spring Festival Gala?" Liu Jie was a little sensitive to this title.

The woman who claimed to be Zheng Xia replied: "It's me, I'm through Dong Qianyue's assistant, and I asked for your number." ”

"That's right, the preparations for this year's Spring Festival Gala have begun, and the director team intends to invite Miss Xia Tingcia to participate, I don't know if you have this intention in this regard?"

Participating in the Spring Festival Gala?

Liu Jie raised her eyebrows, and a touch of joy appeared.

However, he took a deep breath and kept himself calm and said, "Director Zheng, I and Tingcia are now in the imperial capital, let's meet and discuss this matter in detail?"

I have to meet and confirm it first, just in case, in previous years, there were not no artists who were defrauded by scammers in the name of major TV station parties.

Moreover, the matter of the Spring Festival Gala is indeed not a trivial matter, it is not clear on the phone, and it needs to be interviewed.

"Ms. Liu and Miss Tingcia are both in the imperial capital, that's great, do you have time at ten o'clock in the morning?

"No problem, I'll come over with the cicada. ”

Liu Jie and Zheng Xia agreed to meet.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jie went to the table with a smile.

"Sister Liu, who called?" Xia Tingcia asked curiously.

It was Zheng Xia, deputy director of CCTV's production department, who said that this year's Spring Festival Gala work has been launched, and the director team intends to invite you to participate in the performance. ”

"Listen to the cicada, this is a rare opportunity!"

"I was still thinking about whether to move, but I didn't expect CCTV to take the initiative to find it!"

Sister Liu was very excited.

Although the influence of the current Spring Festival Gala cannot be compared with before, it is still the largest annual festival party in China.

Being able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is not only a manifestation of the singer's strength and popularity, but also a manifestation of status.

Every singer who appears on the Spring Festival Gala is the most popular singer of the year, or a super singer whose status has been officially recognized.

What's more, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala can often create miracles, as long as the work is good, it may become popular overnight.

And it is popular all over the north and south of the country, on both sides of the strait, and even in the Chinese-speaking circles at home and abroad.

Even when the cicada was at its most popular, he never received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

This is the first time!

Hearing Liu Jie's words, Xiao Chu and Xiao Ai were also very happy for Xia Tingcicada.

But it was herself, who behaved more indifferently.

Liu Jie continued: "Listen to the cicada, I have already made an appointment with Director Zheng Xia to meet at the Flying Bird Cafe near CCTV at ten o'clock, and after breakfast, let's go over together." ”

Xia Tingcicada looked at Xiao Chu.

Originally, on WeChat last night, I had already made an appointment with the two of them to find a chance to go out to play.

Xiao Chu smiled and said: "Miss Listen to the cicada, congratulations in advance on your ability to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, I am proud of you!"

The implication is that it is more important than going out to play.

Xia Tingcia nodded slightly, and said to Liu Jie: "Okay, I'll go up and change my clothes in a while." ”

After breakfast, Xia Tingcicada and Liu Jie went to the Flying Bird Cafe, and Xiao Ai was responsible for driving.

Xiao Chu went out for a walk alone.

He hasn't had a good visit to the imperial capital, and now he has time to take a good look at the market life in the imperial capital.

For a screenwriter, observing life is essential.

And he may also encounter the drama of writing the imperial capital in the future, since he is here, he will take a second look.

At half past twelve, Xia Tingcicada and the three girls returned to the hotel.

Xiao Chu received the news and also came back on a shared bicycle.

"How is it, have you negotiated?" Xiao Chu asked directly.

Xia Tingcia shook his head and said, "No, the director team wants me to sing together, I don't want to sing together." ”

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, only particularly big-name singers can sing solo, such as the king and queen of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Liu Huanhuan in the mainland and other bigwigs.

The director team arranged the chorus, but Xiao Chu understood.

Knowing that he didn't want to sing with others, of course he understood better.

Liu Jie explained: "The director team wanted to let Tingcicada sing with the new first-line male singer Deng Zhijie, but Tingcicada refused. ”

"But the matter is not completely dead, Director Zheng Xia asked the above for instructions, and asked Director Zhang, who wanted to listen to the cicada's participation, to reply, if there is a particularly suitable new song, you can also let the cicada sing solo. ”

After saying that, Liu Jie and Xiao Ai both looked at Xiao Chu with great anticipation.

Xia Tingcian also looked at Xiao Chu.

Obviously, although Zhili refused the chorus, he didn't really want to give up this opportunity.

After all, being able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala is a great honor for a singer.

And here, only Xiao Chu can write songs.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the third girl, Xiao Chu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, the song is wrapped in me." ”

Xia listened to the cicada and smiled lightly.

It's good to have him.

Every time she needed it most, he stepped up.

Xiao Ai secretly praised Xiao Chu in her heart, Teacher Xiao is not only Sister Cicada's man, but also Sister Cicada's nobleman, since she met him, Sister Cicada's career has been thriving.

Liu Jie thanked very much: "Teacher Xiao, thank you! If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know who to go to in this situation." ”

Ji Yuwei, who has cooperated twice, although he also has creative ability, is questionable whether he can write high-quality songs that can impress the director team of the Spring Festival Gala and make them agree to listen to cicada solo.

As for Xiao Chu, she has 100% confidence.

"Mo", "Dream Chaser", and "Loyal to the Country" all prove that Mr. Xiao's production must be a high-quality product, and together with Ji Yuwei, who is a musician, he also calls him Xiao Daxian.

Xiao Chu replied: "Sister Liu, when is the song going to be? I need time." ”

The main thing is that it takes time to choose, which song is most suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and as soon as it is released, the director team will not be able to refuse.

Liu Jie said: "Of course, the sooner the better, but the deadline is given, and it must be handed over to the director team within a week at the latest, otherwise you will either sing together or give up." ”

"A week, it should be enough. Xiao Chu groaned.

Hearing this, Liu Jie and Xiao Ai both laughed happily.

Xia Tingcia didn't smile, but just looked at her with bright eyes.

......

In the afternoon, Xiao Chu and the four of them flew back to the magic capital together.

Jin Cancan, the not very reliable "gold medal" assistant, came to the airport in advance to greet him this time.

The Volvo that drove Xiao Chu, her small mini, couldn't sit so many people.

Xiao Chu drove, and Xia Tingcicada sat in the co-pilot.

Liu Jie didn't feel anything about it.

Jin Cancan and Xiao Ai glanced at each other, and then looked at each other and smiled, you know I understand.

Only Sister Liu doesn't understand.

Oops, Sister Liu is so pitiful!

Jin Cancan was in his heart, and he mourned for Sister Liu for three seconds.

Xiao Ai was afraid that she would show her stuffing, so she pushed her face and asked her to turn back, don't look at Sister Liu, look out the window.

Jin Cancan didn't look out the window, looked at the front row.

Finally seized the opportunity and sat in the back of the car like Xiao Ai, she wanted to eat dog food.

Boom!

Xiao Ai knocked her and gave her a brain meltdown, just like what Sister Cicada gave her before.

Jin Cancan didn't care, there was dog food to eat, it didn't hurt.

Liu Jie thought that this was the normal play of the little sisters, so she didn't care about it, didn't think much about it, closed her eyes and rested.

Tsk, dare to close your eyes and rest, isn't this fueling the arrogance of the cicada goddess and the male god uncle to make small moves?

Boom!

Jin Cancan suffered another brain breakdown, this time it was her cicada goddess, who saw her frowning in the inner rearview mirror, knowing her thoughts, and sending a "reward".

Now the little girl with the baby's fat face felt the pain and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ai and saw that Xiao Ai was looking down and playing with her phone.

Oh, so that's the right way to eat dog food.

Xiao Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw the golden and simple appearance, and when he saw the cicada goddess with a smile on the corner of her mouth after giving the "reward".

This assistant is too stupid compared to Xiao Ai.

......

After returning to Taoyuan Community, at Jin Cancan's suggestion, everyone did it together at night, and didn't go out to eat.

Xia Tingcicada was the first to agree.

Xiao Ai did not object.

Liu Jie had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Chu, before it was his turn to speak, the matter had already been decided, and he had to pretend that he had no opinion.

Later, Liu Jie and Jin Cancan were responsible for grocery shopping, Xiao Ai served as the head chef, and Xia Tingcian served as the starter.

Xiao Chu...... Xiao Chu was kicked out of the kitchen by the cicada goddess, and he stayed cool.

Yes, Xiao Chu was forced to be an uncle and wait for the meal to start.
