Accompanied by sound

Going back that night, Gao Qiyin had a dream.

In the dream, he was back in the conference room of Louis Music Company, and the only person he was talking to was a man in his 40s. That man was a famous manager of Louis who was in charge of many singers, and he was clapping the contract on the table and his Said: "Mr. Gao, I think you need to recognize this problem. This is a normal behavior in the entertainment industry. No matter which company you go to, the other party will ask you so."

Gao Qiyin looked at the regulations written in black and white on the contract in front of him: Artists of Party B must abide by all activities arranged by Party A's company, including but not limited to entertainment performances, teams, variety shows, TV dramas, etc.

He was only then, and he dropped out of college not long after he entered college. Louis' scouts found him in an underground livehouse.At that time, he was even more arrogant and conceited, but he was new to the society and was ignorant of the world. He thought he had a musical talent and a dream, so he came out and ventured out. He only wanted to make music, and he even sneered at the variety shows that were based on scripts.

Originally, the two were about to reach an agreement, but when it came to the future plan, the agent wanted him to participate in a popular talent show, to show his face, and to be a talented singer-songwriter. In fact, some of the judges may be laymen at all about music, so Gao Qiyin naturally refused to do it.

Hearing the other party's angry words at this time, he was still not to be outdone: "I am a singer, and all I want to do is good music. But variety shows, film and television, these are not what I want to do."

The agent probably has never seen such a crazy one. He is already full of anger, but he is still unwilling to give up this piece of meat that is about to be obtained: "I know, you want to make music, so we are also signed singers. But you have to know, this The world is not just about doing what you want. Variety shows and groups, these are all to lay the foundation for your own popularity. When you have popularity, you will know that these roads must be passed. What do you want to do at that time? Just make music. But if you don't do that, who will know you?"

The other party took a deep breath, stabilized his tone, sat back on his seat and continued to persuade: "Besides, you see that you already have capital, why don't you take advantage of your own advantages to strive for the greatest benefit for yourself? By then, you will have fans. The basics, plus your music, and you still worry about not being popular?"

Gao Qiyin turned his head to look at the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room, his face was vaguely reflected in the windows.

At that time, he didn't cover his face too much, he showed it openly and confidently, and everyone on the walk would look back twice, causing the little girl to whisper, and he had to admit that this face made him It is also delicious in the underground livehouse.

But at this moment, he was suddenly extremely tired of this good skin.

Louis's building is also in the Shangquan District in the city center. The difference is that they occupy the upper floors of an office building, and they can overlook the whole city from the conference room.

Gao Qi looked down at the scene in the city, and the vehicles going back and forth on the road were as insignificant as ants, just as he was in front of this broker, in this company, and in this industry.

He knew that what the other party said was to gain popularity for him, but it was more because it would bring greater benefits to the company in a short period of time, but at that time, he could still be as pure as he expected. Do you want to make music you like?

In the face of interests, dreams are worthless.

Gao Qi felt helpless, but couldn't accept it.

The pride in his heart, or his self-esteem as a musician, made him unable to put down his dignity and accept Louis's conditions.He withdrew his gaze, looked at the other party, and still refused: "I'm sorry, I don't accept it."

The other party got angry and began to speak angrily: "Okay, if you don't accept it, then don't think about making any achievements in this industry, just hold your self-esteem and live in the underground livehouse for the rest of your life!"

What you can't get should be destroyed, otherwise being picked up by others will only hinder your own path.

Louis knew this very well, and it happened to have such a say in the music market, and the facts were indeed as the other party said, no company would accept such a stubborn artist.So after being there, no matter which music company Gao Qiyin went to submit his resume to, almost nothing came and went, and there was no response.And even if I was spotted by scouts at the livehouse, I was sometimes asked if I had considered expanding in the entertainment industry, such as filming a movie.

Gao Qi woke up suddenly, this dream, or the past that shouldn't be called a dream, always appeared from time to time, reminding him over and over again of his own immaturity and the resulting price.

In the past two years, although his hostility has been worn away a lot and his confidence has been continuously suppressed, he still hasn't given up.

I didn't give up my pride as a musician.

So he is ready, even if he is lucky enough to return to school in the future, find a stable and stable job, go to Jersey Street to listen to songs after work, write and write songs at home, and maybe even occasionally have the opportunity to perform on stage at the livehouse , This kind of life is not bad, at least I can make the music I want without any constraints.

But it was different now, he touched the contract on the bedside table.Maybe it was because he had just woken up, or maybe it was because he was still immersed in the past. He looked at the stack of papers in a daze for a while, but at that moment he couldn't tell whether this was the truth he had been waiting for, or it was the result of long-term search. Nanke Yimeng.

But at this moment, he took Le Zhen's business card that was on the side, looked at the company name on it, and rubbed the name with his thumb.He felt the bumps with the callus-free parts of his fingertips.

He knew he was grasping at this straw with both hands.

As for whether he can successfully climb the cliff or fall into the abyss after exhaustion, it all depends on his ability.

The next day, Gao Qiyin called Ma Pengfei and said that he was willing to sign the contract.

The other party also sounded very happy, and informed him that he would come to the company to formally sign the contract next week, and pack up and move into the company's dormitory.

For some time, he first talked with the manager of the part-time job shop about his resignation and the last day of part-time work, and told the landlord that he had signed a contract with the company and was about to move out.

On the last night before moving, he went to Huanquan Park for the first time as a tourist.

There are already many street bands around the fountain singing.When the band really wanted to sing, it was actually very noisy, and sometimes the voices of two parties overlapped together, but everyone consciously separated a few areas from each other in order to express themselves.

People pass by from time to time, some people walk slowly after dinner with their hands behind their backs, and they seem to have never heard the music around them; Disgusted by this noisy environment, he quickly walked to other quiet places.

Gao Qiyin walked quietly from one band to another solo singer, and then to another band by himself.He circled the fountain, passing in front of them one by one.

Not so long ago, he was one of them.Those who are still here may become his opponents in the future, or they may be poached by Le Zhen to be his juniors. No one can predict the future.

Thinking of this, he also distracted himself by thinking about Le Zhen, who is obviously the boss, yet he would personally pick and persuade people.At the same time, he couldn't help being curious, he guessed that Le Zhen should have played music before, but what happened made him have such loving but restrained eyes when facing the musical instrument.

He took out the business card that was in his coat pocket, and couldn't help but silently read the name: "Le Zhen..."

The next day, Gao Qiyin packed his things and prepared to move into the company's dormitory.

Although it is a dormitory, Le Xiao is rich and powerful, and he is engaged in real estate, so it is not easy to find a small building.The dormitory building is a separate eight-story single apartment named Bilingyuan.It's not far from Leyin, but only three subway stops away.With a flick of a pen, Le Zhen directly granted the room on the top floor to Gao Qiyin.

Now the only artist under Leyin is Gao Qiyin, so he was fortunate to be the first person to live in this apartment, and he also got the opportunity to rent the entire building in a short period of time, although he does not have the keys to other rooms.

This day Ma Pengfei came to help him move things, and he yelled "Mr. Gao" first when he entered the door. After hearing so many times, Gao Qiyin still got goose bumps when he heard these three words, and almost blurted out: "Trouble you!" , Mr. Ma!" The last three words seemed to be gnashing their teeth.

In fact, Gao Qi didn’t have many things, so the small room of [-] square meters that he originally rented couldn’t fit too many things. What was more troublesome was the musical instruments he bought with money from working and saving in the past few years, two guitars, a bass, and a keyboard.Fortunately, the room is on the second floor, so you don't have to walk many steps.

The rest of the clothes are only packed in a 20-inch box, and the furniture is all brought by the house, so I don’t need to worry about it right now.

The two of them carried a guitar on their backs and put it down first, and Ma Pengfei picked up the 20-inch box as well.Gao Qi wanted to shorten the distance between the two of them, and hoped that the other party would stop calling "Mr. Gao" so solemnly, so when he went downstairs, he took the initiative to find a topic, but he asked Le Zhen: "By the way, what did I say before?" I wanted to ask in the company, but it’s not easy to ask the boss himself, so I can only ask you second best. Why did the boss come out to find the singer himself? Could it be that he happened to pass by that day and listened to my singing, and the lingering lingering memory still haunts me?"

Because of this person, Gao Qi can be automatically promoted to acquaintance relationship after just two or three sentences with others, and he has a thick skin and has no scruples.

Ma Pengfei is worthy of being a person who has been with the boss for a long time. Now he just smiled politely after hearing his self-praise, and he didn't breathe too much while carrying his things, and replied calmly: "You also know the situation of our company. It is a cross-industry operation, and the administrative staff was assigned just before I found you, so where are the scouts who can go out to find singers."

When he arrived downstairs, he put the guitar and suitcase in the car, and walked back with Gao Qiyin.

"The boss has actually played music before, but all I know is that he is not a music novice. I really don't know anything else. The boss returned to China to take over the company after graduating from graduate school five years ago. At that time, I started to follow him. This Opening a music company was mentioned at that time, and he started preparing for it, so he will naturally be very concerned about it, and it makes sense for singers to personally check it out."

The two returned to the room, one was carrying the guitar and the other was moving the keyboard, and they kept talking with their hands and lips.

Although I already guessed that Le Zhen was involved in music, I was still a little shocked to hear Ma Pengfei say it himself, but Ma Pengfei said that he didn't know much, so there was nothing to ask, so I had to continue chatting: "I just think , The boss is really hard to see through." I didn't think there was anything wrong with criticizing the boss to the boss assistant.

Hearing this, Ma Pengfei only said: "Although I speak for the boss, after getting along for a long time, I will know that the boss is actually very simple."

After putting down their things, the two went back and forth again, moved some scattered items, and finally cleaned up the room, restoring it to the way it was when it was just rented.

After finishing, Ma Pengfei went back to the car first, and Gao Qiyin returned the keys to the landlord downstairs.

The landlord is a single old lady who has always taken care of him and never dislikes him playing with musical instruments.Now taking the key, she asked, "Qiyin, when will you debut?"

The old lady was a little deaf, Gao Qiyin held her hand and said loudly: "It's not decided yet, I'll tell you when I'm sure."

The other party squinted his eyes with a smile, and patted the back of his hand: "Okay, when you debut, I will also buy two to support you."

"I'll send it directly to you when the time comes, and tell you how to listen." Gao Qiyin felt warm in his heart, after all, these were words of support that he had never heard from his parents.

Leaving this room where he lived for two years and accompanied him through these years of creation, I still have some reluctance in my heart, but this is only a small change on the way to realize my dream.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Gao Qiyin got into the car and was driven to a new residence and a new distant place with a car of dream props.
