Chapter 139: Leave when You Want to, Come Back when You Want To
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the ten-day holiday has passed.
The results of the new songs have been gratifying since they were released online. Although the total playback volume is not as good as the songs in "Stars and Sea", the momentum is very strong, because "Arui" was just a transparent person in the music industry during the first album, but after the second album Now, he already has a certain fan base.
Especially "Not Angry", as a rare pure English work in the domestic music scene, has won the favor of a small group of "professionals" and is almost looked at under a magnifying glass, torn apart and studied.
Many music critics have given it very high praise, and even compared "Not Angry" with popular foreign songs. After all, there is no similar work in China.
For example, "Down" by a British singer is currently sweeping the global charts.
The last pass analysis was as fierce as a tiger, and actually came to the conclusion that "Not Angry" was more advanced in terms of production concept.
Of course, the music critics who came to this conclusion were quickly drowned out by the criticism.
"I admit that "Not Angry" is not bad, but when you compare it with foreign countries, you are a bit deceiving yourself. In terms of production level and aesthetic level, our country is at least 10 years behind foreign countries. We must face the gap and not deceive ourselves."
"You are imitating me. I am singing in English and competing with the British. I have drunk a few taels. Why don't you compete with the Indians? Compare your accent."
"The song upstairs is sung by Indians."
"fart!"
Although music has no borders, public knowledge and awakening people do. Even though Zhou Rui wrote this song just to ask for directions, he had no intention of competing with anyone.
But ordinary fans don't care about these, they just think it's high-end! Sounds good! Little fresh!
In addition, there are more invitations to sing.
"You don't have an agent, so many big guys come to my place, asking for songs."
Liang Liang's voice came from the phone.
Zhou Rui said while turning the pages of the book: "Really? Who is there?"
Keep your voice low so as not to disturb others.
"There are several managers in Hong Kong and Taiwan who are very familiar with me. I have asked many times in private. The doctor is the most active. He is very interested in your lyrics and music. There are also some people who want to buy the cover rights. ”
At present, the popularity and quality of the album and three singles of "Sea of Stars" have been verified, but neither "Aqian" nor "Arui" are in business.
This also gave many singers who wanted to make quick money an opportunity.
Such a highly exposed work would be a waste if it were not in business. If it were replaced by someone more diligent, even if the copyright sold was more expensive, they could make back several times the profit by flying all over the country for a year. Zhou Rui didn't go to the market to eat, they Come and eat, and if you are lucky, you can sing your own songs and leave behind a few masterpieces that will last a lifetime.
Zhou Rui does not reject the idea of someone singing covers. If these songs can be performed by powerful celebrities, he will find it quite interesting, and it will also be helpful to the sales of ring tones. However, Liang Liang mentioned a few names, and they were all second or third. A pop singer whose name I have never even heard of.
"The higher the status of the artist, the more careful they are when singing covers. It's okay for artists of the same level to borrow songs from each other."
"Then let's forget it for now. A few Kalemies using my singing may actually affect the sales of ring tones."
He can still distinguish between priorities.
Liang Liang: "What's wrong? By the way, I may go on a business trip to Shanghai this month. I'll see you then and let's get together."
The two are now friends, and Zhou Rui didn't refuse: "Come on, tell me when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone from Liang Liang, Zhou Rui continued to immerse himself in studying.
"Entry task [lucky]: current progress (57/100)"
"Entry task [Basic Mathematics]: Current progress (52/100)"
"Entry task [Basic Chemistry]: Current progress (50/100)"
All three tasks are more than halfway progressed. [Lucky] can be won in one wave after "Brother Sadness" and the others collect enough materials, but the other two tasks are still a grind.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui is already familiar with this. Whether in high school or after entering college, he can study patiently.
Unconsciously, it was already dusk when I looked up again, and the orange light outside the window seemed to set the leaves on fire.
After collecting books and giving way, Zhou Rui strolled around the campus.
Now that the temperature is gradually dropping, it feels a bit like the golden autumn of October.
The number of people on campus has increased from a few to more. It should be that some people who traveled have returned.
After all, college students’ travel is restricted by their wallets. Not many people can spend ten days at a time, and they probably don’t have enough energy.
Zhou Rui obviously felt that more and more people were walking together, and he wondered if he had gained something during the holiday.
Not envious, really.
Although I receive experience every day, I feel full of gains during the National Day.
But counting the days, there are only a few days left for the vacation. It seems that I have never left the school.
The furthest trip was to the hospital, which was about four or five kilometers away.
Suddenly I want to go out for a walk again
You don’t have to go far, why not go to Matsuura? He also left many memories of the university he studied there in his previous life, but he has not been there since he came to Shanghai in this life.
While waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, Zhou Rui was thinking about whether he should walk around in the last two days when his phone vibrated slightly and received a text message.
Tong Xin: "Zhou Rui, where are you?"
Zhou Rui looked at the information on the screen and showed a smile after a while: "On the way!"
Tong Xin: "???"
Zhou Rui raised his hand, and a taxi stopped in front of Zhou Rui, like magic.
Open the door, get in the car, and do it all in one go.
It’s not that a casual trip is unattractive to men. If you don’t want to, it may just not be attractive enough.
——————————
Tong Xin wore a black dress, and the black gauze material on the lower body made her long legs with a hint of voluptuousness slightly visible.
The camera bag slung across the body outlines a thought-provoking arc in front of the body.
At this time, she was smiling wildly on the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
I don’t know why this beautiful lady is smiling so happily.
The phone trembled slightly, and Tong Xin saw Zhou Rui's text message.
"Where are you? Send me your address?"
Tong Xin couldn't help it anymore, almost holding on to the telephone pole and laughing.
"I was watching from behind as you got into the car."
Zhou Rui: "???"
Tong Xin is at the gate of Fu University.
Just now I watched Zhou Rui walk out of the school gate, and then watched him get into the car smoothly.
Just as he was as dashing and handsome as he was in Qinghe County, when he ran away from the bus station.
Zhou Rui called directly.
"What do you mean behind me?"
Tong Xin laughed so hard that she couldn't speak: "Haha, that's literally what you did when you stopped the car."
Zhou Rui was silent for a long time, and then Tong Xin heard the other side of the phone say to the driver: "Master, it's violent. Please turn around and go back."
A minute later, I saw the taxi make a U-turn and return to the starting point.
The driver rolled his eyes, "Young man, you looked so handsome when you raised your hand. I thought you were going to the airport!"
Damn it, I'm so excited, I've adjusted the meter, it's a waste of emotion.
Zhou Rui awkwardly paid the starting fee.
It’s a trip that you can leave as soon as you want, and you can come back as soon as you want.
How embarrassing
Even the people waiting around at the traffic lights were still the same group of people just now. Many people witnessed Zhou Ruixiao getting into the car, then turning around and getting off, completing a quick trip.
Pedestrians glanced repeatedly between Zhou Rui and Tong Xin, wondering if this is the daily life of young people.
Zhou Rui walked up to Tong Xin and said speechlessly: "Why are you in Fuda?"
The smile on Tong Xin's face could not be suppressed: "I came out with my classmates and was dragged around for a day, including the Chenghuang Temple and the Bund. When I looked up again, I found that I was near the Five Star Field, so I wanted to ask What are you doing."
Tong Xin tightened her tight-fitting camera bag, which was a gift from Zhou Rui.
"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but you will know the rest."
The traffic lights finally changed, and the crowds of people began to move to their respective directions.
Only Zhou Rui and Tong Xin were left standing face to face.
One smiled with trembling flowers, while the other shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Almost at the same time, Tong Xin and Zhou Rui said together:
"Let's have a midnight snack together."
"Let's have a midnight snack together."
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
I write more than 7,000 words three times a day, which is only a few hundred million words away from being a daily writer. Why do people still say I am short?
Don’t those who are fifty centimeters have human rights? !
Woohoo!
The world is too cold.
In order to seek comfort, if anyone can vote for me now, I will give you one centimeter. It is a limited-time event, only for this day, first come first served.
