Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Listening to what you just said, you and Guoguo are actually people from two different worlds. If you meet by chance, you will eventually leave each other."

"To use a very clichéd saying: Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. Do you think the girl's family will agree to marry their precious daughter to you?"

Yu Dongqing took a sip of beer and shook his head: "Guoguo said, his parents are state cadres and are relatively conservative. How can he let his only daughter marry a man who is more than ten years older and have a child?"

"In this case, wouldn't it be better for both parties to get together and get away? Hey, how did you sing the song "Love Song 1980"?"

"You don't belong to me and I don't own you.

Girl, no one in the world has the right to possess her.

"Since Chen Guoguo is destined not to belong to you, why bother about it? No one has the right to possess it."

Ah?

Very well said.

After what Liu Yimin said, Yu Dongqing suddenly felt much better.

"Hey, Yimin, you just said on the phone that you had something to do with me?" Yu Dongqing asked, remembering this.

"Well, someone came to me and said they saw our performance at the music festival and wanted to sign our band."

Ah?

Does anyone really think this way?

"What do you think?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"I refused. Zhang Yang and the others also meant the same thing. We want to have fun on our own. If we sign a contract with a certain company, it's not up to us. Besides, everyone has their own issues to deal with. Can we just leave?" Liu Yimin said.

yes

If it were placed ten years ago, the four of them would probably be asking for it, but now

There's no going back to the past.

"Yes! Benefit the people!" Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "If you want to have fun, let's organize it ourselves. Why should we be controlled by others? I'm even ready to resign and become a free man."

Liu Yimin laughed after hearing this.

As expected, we are old buddies, we all have the same ideas.

"Hey, Dongqing, the song you wrote for Chen Guoguo is very nice. Can you sing it again?" Liu Yimin said again.

"Did you hear it too?" Yu Dongqing remembered that when she sang this song, there were not many people around, and Liu Yimin and the others had all gone back to their tents to sleep.

"Nonsense! You are singing to a girl in the middle of the night. My tent is not far from you, how can you not hear it?" Liu Yimin laughed.

"Okay." Yu Dongqing agreed.

When the young singer on the stage finished singing a song, Liu Yimin walked over and whispered a few words, and the young singer stood up and moved out of the way.

Yu Dongqing came on stage and picked up the guitar. First he politely said to the audience that he would play a new song called "Cinderella", then he plucked the strings a few times and started singing after the intro.

How could I fall in love with you?

I'm asking myself

I can give up anything

It’s actually hard to leave today

you are not beautiful

But you are so cute

Oops Cinderella

my cinderella

As Yu Dongqing sang, she thought of her interactions with Chen Guoguo in the past two days. When the girl smiled, her crescent-like eyes seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.

In Yanjing?

Or have you already boarded the train back to Chengdu?

Or wandering in a sea of ​​people carrying a guitar and wearing that white crew-neck shirt?

Maybe you never thought that my heart would hurt

if this is a dream

I would rather stay drunk than wake up

After the song ended, the tavern burst into enthusiastic applause. Some customers shouted for him to play and sing again, but he refused.

He walked down from the singing stage to the bar, picked up his beer glass and drank it in one gulp, letting out a long sigh.

Liu Yimin knew what he was thinking, but he just said everything he needed to say.

Some things need to be solved by oneself.

At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the bar and said hello when he saw Liu Yimin.

"Mr. Ma, we have already decided not to sign a contract." Liu Yimin greeted with a smile, and then said to Yu Dongqing: "He is the deputy music director of Lijing Records who came to sign a contract with us."

Lijing Records is also one of the famous record companies in China, but unlike Jinye and Canxing, they pay more attention to the development of relatively niche songs and singers such as folk songs, rock and blues, and are unique in the record industry.

"Who is this?" Ma Bin saw Yu Dongqing drinking beer at the side, and suddenly said in surprise: "You are Yu Dongqing, Mr. Yu! The lead singer of Qingmanglu Band!"

"You are still the music editor of Jinye Records, right? I checked your information and you wrote "Learning to Meow" and "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" that are now popular on the market? Awesome, I admire you!"

"Excuse me." Yu Dongqing said lightly.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Liu, since your band doesn't want to sign a contract with our company, I have another idea. Your band's two songs "Love Song" and "Young Jinshi" and the song just now, I want our singers to Sing, don't worry, we will pay you the copyright fee, or directly purchase the copyright of these four songs."

"You have to ask him about this." Liu Yimin smiled freely, "I told you, he wrote it all."

Yu Dongqing pondered for a moment and then said: "I will not sell the copyrights of these four songs, but you can sing the first three songs and just pay me the copyright royalties. But for this song "Cinderella", I I won’t let anyone else sing.”

"Why?" Ma Bin felt strange.

"Director Ma, don't ask. If you agree, we can sign the agreement." Yu Dongqing said lightly.

Ma Bin was very puzzled, but seeing Yu Dongqing's look like this, he couldn't say much, so he just said that in this case, you can come to our company to sign the agreement at your convenience.

Then he asked for another glass of beer and took the initiative to clink glasses with Yu Dongqing and Liu Yimin: "I wish us a happy cooperation. I also hope that Mr. Yu can write better songs in the future, and I also wish my boss a prosperous business."

"Thanks."

After Ma Bin left, Liu Yimin looked at Yu Dongqing, who was still a little uninterested, and asked in a tentative tone: "Dongqing, wasn't your song "Cinderella" specially given to Chen Guoguo?

Yu Dongqing nodded slightly.

Liu Yimin wanted to say something but didn't say it. He just patted him on the shoulder.

The next morning, Yu Dongqing went to work on time, looking listless for some reason.

"Holly, are you crazy about going to the music festival?" the person sitting in front teased.

Yes, it's crazy.

The girl who smiled and bent her eyes into small crescent moons appeared in Yu Dongqing's mind again, but who could she say this to?

Yu Dongqing didn't reply.

Seeing his silent look, Luo Yun suddenly lowered her voice: "Dongqing, you met the girl you liked at the music festival, right? And then, for a moment, they spent the night together?"

Yu Dongqing was shocked, but she denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing."

"The ancients said: It's time to cut off the flowers when they are ready. Don't wait until there are no flowers to cut off the branches. Especially you men, who is not romantic? Besides, you are a very talented and handsome man." Luo Yun whispered with a smile.

Are you comforting me or hurting me?

Yu Dongqing shook his head and looked at the scenery outside. The sun was shining brightly.
