I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 144 142. Be kind to others and be kind to yourself
Question:

As a girl, at a subway station in the middle of the night, a handsome young man with a SLR camera in his hand invited him to an unknown place to meet a so-called musician. May I ask your correct choice:
A. Go with him.

B. Rejected him with righteous words and reported to him for sexual harassment.

C. Reject him politely and tactfully.

D. Put away the guitar and go home immediately.

But any normal person would probably not consider the first option.

but……

Looking at the face of the gentleman in front of him... a very strange smile...

She also heard the phone call just now.

Although she didn't know who the musician was, Guo Caijie first had a good impression of this gentleman from mainland China.

After all, I accidentally kicked his SLR camera just now, and he also showed a rather self-cultivated side.

And SLR cameras are expensive...

then……

For this place, he is just a "outsider", so as a native of Wanwan Province, she is actually not too shy.

After all, she belonged to a local gang.

And the other party doesn't look like a bad guy...

but……

Looking at the smile in front of her, Guo Caijie tentatively asked:

"Where... is it?"

"It's not far, just go from one side to the other, and cross two roads."

Xu Xin pointed in the direction of Jay Chou's house.

And Guo Caijie looked along and found that it was not a remote place. After thinking about it, she continued to ask:

"Can I...can I ask about this musician's information?"

"No, because this is a secret that cannot be revealed yet."

"Uh……"

Xu Xin really didn't lie.

Any news about Jay Chou's affairs would cause an uproar.So until the end of the date, it is best not to announce.

Even in today's Wanwan entertainment circle, the fact that he left his old club has become a fact.

But many people are guessing where he will go and which big company he will go to, but few people think that he will set up his own company.

The reason is that relying on an artist to support a company is a bit too tiring.

It is equivalent to one person earning money to support a family.

And if no one can share it, then it will be really, really tiring.

Because you are acting like a cow and a horse, dragging a big company forward.

But Guo Caijie didn't know this, she was just hesitating.

Rationally told myself, it is best not to go.

Not safe.

Can……

What if this is an opportunity?

You can tell what kind of company this company is by just hearing its name.

It's not big.

The resources are actually quite limited. It was created by an idol named Ye Naiwen in the ENERGY boy group that debuted in 2002.

It is said to be a creation, but in fact, in 2005, the ENERGY boy group disbanded due to lack of popularity, and the members also went their separate ways.

And I joined in as a trainee because of my ex-boyfriend...or Ye Naiwen's cousin.But now after the two broke up, her position has been very awkward.

First of all, the company is small and has few resources.Debut is nowhere in sight.

The second is... because I am the ex-girlfriend of the cousin of the boss of the company, many people are very sensitive when dealing with their relationship.If there is no intersection with myself, it will not happen, otherwise I will not live here in Danshui...

Her current financial situation is very poor.

The consumption in Taipei is too high.

So you can only commute back and forth like this.Because she can't afford such a high rent.

And she's still in college.You cannot use part-time jobs to support yourself.

This puts her in a state of extreme embarrassment now.

And now...although I met at the noodle stall in front of the MRT...but as the saying goes, you look at the details when you look at the person.First, from the camera to the clothes of the other party, and the very illusory but sensed temperament...

Doesn't seem like a bad guy.

Do you want to bet...?
The girl hesitated while holding the guitar.

Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't rush, but pointed to the noodle stall behind:
"I also want to help them take it home for supper... Well, breakfast is more suitable. So, think about it."

After speaking, he held the camera and went down the steps.

The girl was left thinking alone.

According to the share of noodles and oyster omelette for each person, he soon became a little daughter-in-law with a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right.

But when he turned his head with two pockets of supper, he found the girl was already standing by the side of the road.

He walked over.

Ignoring the mobile phone in the opponent's hand, he said:

"Let's go?"

"Okay... okay."

The girl was still holding the phone in her hand.

He looked a little nervous.

Xu Xin nodded, and took the lead to walk in the direction of Jay Chou's house. While walking, he asked:
"You signed a contract with that delivery room, is the liquidated damages high?"

"Uh...not...not bad. Because I was the first to sign the contract at the time, plus...and...the boss's younger brother is a friend, so it's not too strict."

"about how much?"

The girl hesitated and said:

"300 million Taiwan dollars."

300 million, or almost 60 million yuan.

In fact, there are many.

When Jay Chou first signed the contract with Alpha, it was actually around NT$500 million, but before the release of the album, Wu Zhongxian asked him to sign another contract, and the liquidated damages were as high as NT$[-] million.

Brokerage companies are basically this way.

Trainees, to them, are just commodities.Not to mention the high liquidated damages that the trainees dare to sign, even the law here does not allow such nonsense.This is like offering you a ridiculous clause of 100 million compensation for a fake one that is only worth one dollar.

Anyone with a little brain will control this liquidated damages to a reasonable value.

Trick the dog in first.

If you are capable, the company will arrange for you to debut.But before debuting, as a price for the company's resources, I will draft a new contract.

With his debut, in exchange for high liquidated damages, and more stringent terms.

Brokerage firms do this.

And the NT$300 million is nothing to Jay Chou.

So naturally I can afford it.

But Xu Xin just asked a question, and stopped talking.

Although he thinks this girl is very nice and her singing is very interesting, but after all, he is not a professional.Some things require a more professional look.

After all... no one would believe it.

If you don't sleep at night and go to the subway station to have a late-night snack, you can pick up some kind of king and queen.

It takes a lot of people to have this kind of fantasy...

And the whole time, the girl held up her mobile phone.

And the screen is upside down.

There is still a faint light.

Xu Xin didn't know who she was keeping on the phone with, but she admired this little girl... I can't say that she was a little girl, anyway, she was also in 86.

I appreciate her vigilance.

And... this little girl is pretty smart, she didn't ask any musicians or what she was doing along the way, she kept a rather subtle distance from Xu Xin, followed behind, and looked around from time to time.

Finally, the two of them came to Jay Chou's house, which seemed to be heavily guarded, black and big iron gates.

"arrive."

Xu Xin opened the big iron gate with his foot, and seeing the hesitation on Guo Caijie's face, he said directly:
"You don't need to close the door. After all, it's more convenient for you to escape later...Let's go, I'll show you to someone first. If you decide to stay, let's talk slowly. If you don't want to stay, just leave. If you want to take pictures...uh...I think You won't go. Ha~"

With a chuckle, he simply pushed the door open.

After walking in on her own, as soon as she reached the door, Sun Ting's sleepy face was revealed.

"Brother Xu..."

"Yo? Are you awake? Help me."

"Okay...uh..."

Suddenly, Sun Ting's gaze also fell on the little girl standing at the door with a guitar on her back.

Sun Ting was very curious, but she didn't ask too many questions. After taking the supper from Xu Xin's hand, Xu Xin, who was empty-handed, turned to look at Guo Caijie and waved her head:
"come in."

With that said, he went straight into the house.

The appearance of Sun Ting, who seemed "not like a bad guy", made Guo Caijie feel a little bit more relaxed.

After thinking about it, she hung up the phone and quickly sent a message:
"No. 1-017, sister, wait for my news."

After sending out, the mobile phone was put in the pocket.

Carrying the guitar on her back, she walked up the steps and opened the door.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, I heard the movement of the gentleman:

"Come down quickly, I brought someone to you... oh~ come in."

He waved to Guo Caijie who was at the door, and following his movements, Yang Mi who was sitting on the sofa also poked her head out.

Then I saw a girl with a bob head carrying a guitar, looking timidly here.

face...

general.

legs...

Also average.

OK, it's safe.

She deeply understood what her boyfriend liked, and she felt at ease.

Then, he said hello generously:

"Hello, come in and sit down."

As I said before, the architectural style of Jay Chou's old house is very Japanese.

Or to put it another way...many houses in Wanwan have a somewhat Japanese style.

From the door to the sofa where Xu Xin, Yang Mi and the others sat, there was a straight corridor.

Next to where Yang Mi was sitting was the stairs leading upstairs.

And as her voice fell, just when Guo Caijie was still lamenting how beautiful this girl looked without makeup, Jay Chou's figure with messy hair suddenly appeared on the stairs and walked down.

Guo Caijie saw Jay Chou immediately.

But dare not admit it.

I just feel... why the other party looks so familiar.

Didn't respond for a while.

And Jay Chou was taken aback...

Glancing at the girl standing at the door who didn't come in, she subconsciously said to Xu Xin:
"Did you really bring the man back?"

"Ah."

Xu Xin responded, and looked at the girl whose expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise, disbelief and other emotions at the door, and said to herself that the speed of changing her face was a seedling for acting.

It can change as soon as it is said, but it is really fast.

Then went on to explain:
"I think the song is very good, so I brought it for you to try. Don't you also have this plan."

"Well……"

After moving back and forth between the oyster omelette and the noodles and the girl’s doll’s face, Jay Chou decided to put on a boss posture and beckoned:

"Hey, come and sit down."

……

"..."

Guo Caijie's face was full of embarrassment.

Looking at the cooks in front of me who are guarding the coffee table in the living room and making meals...

The main focus is on Jay Chou.

Zhou... Jay Chou...

Zhou... Jay Chou! ! ! ! !

She was stunned.

How could it be Jay Chou?
How could it be Jay Chou? !
I actually came to Jay Chou's house and watched him eat? !

What kind of miraculous encounter is this?
She felt dizzy...

It was like being hit by a huge pie.

is so unreal.

illusory.

At this time, Xu Xin who was sitting on the single sofa spoke:

"I heard her singing at the subway station. I thought it was very good. I brought it for you to have a look. Eat quickly, watch it for a while, and continue chatting if you can. If you can't, don't delay the girl's rest time. I heard it." without?"

"..."

This person... dare to speak to Jay Chou like that?

Guo Caijie's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Unfortunately, Jay Chou, who was busy cooking, nodded immediately after hearing this:

"Sure."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and nodded to the girl who was sitting with her knees together and sitting in an extremely regular posture:

"Then after I finish eating, you can warm up your throat first."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again and continued to deal with the noodles and oyster omelette.

The others, including Yang Mi, also remained silent.

They can't talk about music.

And Guo Caijie nodded instinctively...

Then he swallowed.

A heart beat rapidly.

Her heart beat faster, and her mouth began to dry rapidly.

I swallowed again...

I'm starting to feel thirsty again...

Before she knew it, her throat had already started to tighten a little.

But she didn't notice it, because she was already immersed in that nervous emotion and couldn't extricate herself.

soon.One noodle and one oyster omelet are finished.

Jay Chou wiped his mouth, turned his head and asked directly:

"can we start?"

"But...you can!"

Guo Caijie nodded instinctively, quickly turned around and took out the guitar.

But I feel that my fingers are a little numb.

Move your fingers quickly.

And just for a while, she only felt her heart beat faster.

Jay Chou seemed to see the panic and nervousness in her eyes. A group of people ate around the coffee table. According to the principle of first come, first served, they didn't even get a seat. He could only sit on the floor between the coffee table and the TV, and he comforted:
"Don't be nervous~"

"Okay... okay."

Although I know that nervousness will make me perform abnormally, but...

How can I not be nervous in front of you?
"Well, let's get started."

Jay Chou said.

But upon hearing this, Guo Caijie could only pluck the strings twice in vain, and after thinking about it... let's sing the song "Persistence" just now.

Ding ding dong dong sounded the guitar.

Jay Chou narrowed his eyes.

Because he noticed how old the guitar was.

But with an absolute sense of pitch, he could tell that the tone of this guitar was very positive.

It shows that although it has been used for a long time, the owner's care is very careful.

So I nodded slightly...

Well, a musician who can take good care of his instrument will never be bad at singing!Anticipation slowly emerged in his heart...

The others also put down their chopsticks, wanting to see the singing ability of this underage girl.

Being stared at by these pairs of eyes, Guo Caijie seemed even more nervous.

The point that should have been cut in was directly crossed.

"...?"

Jay Chou frowned...

All the thoughts I had just now were overthrown...

This……

He frowned, and Guo Caijie panicked even more.

She thought that the other party would not see that little mistake just now...but the other party caught it.

what is it now?
Start singing quickly.

So, stuck for a beat and a half, she said:
"Come every night~~ when it's coming..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she knew...

It’s over.

My throat is too tight, and the first sentence of the song is pronounced, and air is mixed into the voice.

The sound broke.

Sure enough, after hearing the first sentence, Jay Chou instinctively turned his head and focused his gaze on Xu Xin.

Eyes full of one meaning:
"What did you show me?"

"..."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

Yang Mi, Sun Ting, and Dani looked at each other...

Obviously, the effect of this first sentence was unexpected.

And the state of several people made Guo Caijie's already restless heart instantly plunged into despair.

Anyone who studies music knows... In fact, this tight and dry state of the voice is the most likely to go out of tune.And the best way is to quickly take advantage of the interval between singing and open your voice, even if you cough a few times...

However, the first two sentences of this song "Persistence" are linked together.

The word "孤" in "Lonely is always by my side" in the second line of the lyrics has very, very low syllables.

It is very difficult for a female voice to sing, and it is easy to swallow words.

And Guo Caijie's throat tightened, coupled with the despair of seeing everyone's reaction...

When she wanted to pronounce the word "孤", because the syllable was too low, she had to lower her head and compress her vocal cords to make the low sound.

But her throat was very tight. When she lowered her head like this, there was a strange itching in her throat, and she wanted to cough.

However, she didn't dare to stop, and wanted to use her control to control her voice.

then……

"Alone is always by my side~"

A singing voice that was completely out of tune began to rub against Jay Chou's eardrums.

Xu Xin...what the hell did you find for me?

Where did this wonder come from?

In the middle of the night, did he entertain me?
He was completely speechless.

Can this kind of person be a singer?
While thinking about it speechlessly, Xu Xin suddenly said:

"stop."

He shouted to stop, and Guo Caijie's eyes dimmed in an instant.

it's over...

completely over...

But after yelling to stop, Xu Xin said directly:
"Tingting, pour her a glass of water, make it warm."

"Uh... ok."

Sun Ting quickly took a glass from the coffee table, mixed a glass of warm water alternately between hot and cold, and handed it to the girl holding the guitar.

The girl took it blankly, not even saying thank you.

Because she doesn't know what to do.

But at this moment, Xu Xin pointed out the door:
"Take the water glass, go outside and open your voice, and adjust your emotions. You are too nervous now... singing shit is not good. Go, adjust your emotions, and show your best side."

"...?"

Guo Caijie was taken aback...

But immediately his eyes burst into a kind of light.

I... I still have a chance! ?
She subconsciously stood up, nodded vigorously, and walked quickly towards the outside of the house.

And after she left the room, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin speechlessly:

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"No, this girl is really good at singing, trust me."

"EMMMM... ok."

After hearing this, Jay Chou had no choice but to nod:

"I hope she can perform better next time, otherwise... I can't help it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mi asked in bewilderment:

"You mean Jay would sign her?"

"Yes, she is now... a trainee in an entertainment operating room company, and the liquidated damages are only 300 million, which is quite cheap."

"... already signed a contract with someone else?"

Jay Chou was speechless:

"Can you sign a contract at this level?"

"That's not her true level."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I really think she has potential, so I brought it back to you in the middle of the night. Otherwise... just look at your current state. Two houses, one office building, and some musical instruments are being added. It’s almost hollowed out for you. What will you do in the future? Sell albums and hold concerts to pay back, right? One person pulls the mouth of an entire company to run forward? It’s unrealistic. Didn’t you tell her before? .”

Pointing at his girlfriend, Xu Xin said:
"You said before that Hao Ledi wanted you to hold a concert and make money. It was a way of sacrificing your career. But if you want to go on like this now, you can only choose this way at present. Hold a concert , make money, feed the company. Right?"

"……Um."

Jay Chou nodded.

There is nothing to hide, because this is the optimal solution for the company to start.

It is also a necessary process.

"So, I hope you go well. But as a friend, do I have to worry about your career? What if you have to do some intensive concert to support your family, and then your voice is broken, hoarse, Then I went to get an injection... what is it called? What kind of injection?"

"...Do you open your throat?"

After Jay Chou finished speaking, he shook his head absurdly:
"Please, how could it be possible to touch that, the damage to the vocal cords is irreversible, am I crazy, I hit that?"

"So, what I'm talking about is just a possibility. But you have to be careful, right? Besides, don't you also want to sign an artist, I really think she's pretty good. She sings really well... "

"...you call that nice?"

Jay Chou was speechless.

But Xu Xin's rhetorical question made him even more speechless:
"Didn't you also make your debut after Liu Genghong begged you for a second chance to sing?"

"Uh……"

Jay Chou was taken aback, while Xu Xin shrugged:

"Be kind to others, be kind to yourself. Anyway, it's the middle of the night, and you're not short of time. You should remember how hard it is for the little people to survive. Isn't that why you want to sign contracts with talented people who have no chance? Is it the original intention of the musicians? This is called not forgetting the original intention, so as to be consistent."

"..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Jay Chou had a surprised and thoughtful expression on his face.

But Yang Mi suddenly gave a shock...

"Ah~~~~"

After getting a layer of goosebumps, she moved towards Sun Ting's direction.

In the puzzled eyes of her boyfriend, came a sentence:
"Although you two are very friendly...but you are my boyfriend...When I heard you say such nasty things to him, I got goosebumps. Vomit~ It's so nasty..."

"..."

"..."

The two men were speechless for a moment.

But for some reason, Sun Ting and Dani nodded with empathy.

That's right...

Brother Jay and Brother Xu/Brother Xu and Brother Jielun...

It's too sweet.

Jay Chou's face suddenly became very strange, but Xu Xin was more straightforward:
"Stop talking nonsense... What I'm talking about is serious, okay? It's tiring to think about raising a company by yourself. So...you, you have to look after him, you know?"

Pointing at Dani, Xu Xin said:
"Don't let him act foolishly. Don't let the newcomers fail, and you'll be ruined first. Then it's all over... It's okay, just take care of him. If he doesn't obey you, contact me and I'll teach him a lesson."

"Hey~~~~~~~~"

When Xu Xin deliberately said it was very nasty, the three women unanimously made a voice of disgust.

Well, for some reason, Yang Mi's smile is a bit lustful...

"Please, can you stop talking like this...you are gay~"

Even Jay Chou couldn't bear it.

And just as a few people were chatting and laughing, the door opened.

Guo Caijie walked in with an empty water glass.

"I... I can do it."

"Well, let's get started and behave well."

Xu Xin nodded.

But this time, whether it was mental state or other things, the girl who was much better than before sat down on the chair again and picked up the guitar.

Fiddled twice, and with the sound of the piano, a clean little girl's voice, which was far different from before, resounded in the living room:
"When every night comes~"

"Lonely~Lonely is always by my side..."

Although there was still some trembling that could be heard, it was countless times stronger than the previous broken and out-of-tune voice.

After Jay Chou sang the first line, his face became more serious.

This strand is formal one for careful listening.

The second is...he understood what his friend wanted.

And don't intend to disappoint.

Listen carefully, judge carefully, examine carefully, and even... think carefully about where this girl's future path should lead.

"... hugging you OH MY BABY~"

"You saw me crying~"

"Whether I love you or not makes me sad~"

"Break my heart~~eh~~"

"Holding you OH MY BABY~"

"But you know I can't back down~"

"Whether I love you breaks my heart~"

"Scarred~~~~~"

After singing "Perseverance", which was popular last year, the girl let out a sigh of relief.

first reaction.

Instead of looking at Jay Chou, he looked at Xu Xin.

Eyes full of gratitude:

"Thank you Xiansen!"

Xu Xin nodded and looked at Jay Chou.

And Jay Chou hardly hesitated, and continued:

"One more song."

In a word, all the expressions in Guo Caijie's eyes were instantly lit up.

She nodded vigorously, thought for a while, plucked the strings, and began to sing:
"My ~ my ~ small ~ time ~"

"When you are noisy and willful~"

"My grandma always sings to coax me~"

Sun Yanzi's extremely popular song "The Sky Is Black" sounded.

But Jay Chou's mouth twitched.

Then... the singing stopped.

Guo Caijie seemed to have thought of something, and quickly got up to apologize:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'll change it..."

"Pfft... goose goose~"

Yang Mi also suddenly let out a goose cry.

"...?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, and subconsciously looked at his girlfriend who was smiling so happily for some reason.

"What's wrong? Why are you smiling so much?"

"..."

Yang Mi was taken aback, seeing that her boyfriend didn't seem to understand, she subconsciously asked:
"You do not know?"

"Hey, honey..."

Jay Chou was speechless.

But Yang Mi pointed at Jay Chou with a smile:

"Do you know how many years he debuted?"

"The year 2000."

"What's the name of the first album?"

"JAY, self-titled album, what's wrong?"

Xu Xin asked under Jay Chou's dumbfounding and Guo Caijie's increasingly embarrassed gazes.

Then I heard another sentence from my girlfriend:
"Then do you know who was the best newcomer at the Golden Melody Awards in 2000?"

"It must be him..."

"..."

Jay Chou was also speechless.

Please, do you have to expose people's scars like this?

Then, Yang Mi laughed and shook her head:
"Hahahaha, no, it's not him, hahahahaha..."

"...?"

When Xu Xin was still puzzled, it was Dani who explained:
"Brother Xu... the best newcomer award, not Brother JAY, but Sun Yanzi. The song in her first album of the same name "Sun Yanzi", the most popular song, is her..."

Pointing to the girl who was so embarrassed that her face was blushing.

"Her song "The Sky Is Dark"..."

"sorry Sorry!"

The girl had no choice but to apologize again.

And Jay Chou looked embarrassed.

Yang Mi smiled and lay on Sun Ting's body and couldn't stop laughing.

Only Xu Xin...

"Is that so..."

He nodded:

"Let me just say, this song sounds much better than his broken songs."

"Pfft... goose goose goose goose goose goose goose..."

Amidst the hooting of geese that filled the room, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin and gritted his teeth in dismay:

"Ah Xin!!! What are you doing~~~~~~"

　The old rule asks for a monthly pass for [-]! !I will try my best to build the company of Zhenggong Empress (Dawu) into a company that is making money every day, instead of letting our Zhenggong Empress ruin her voice in order to generate income for the company in the first few years like now... Novel, make up Sorry, less of those imperfections.And as his old fan, that concert in Nanning was really a pain in my heart.
