this man is not calm

Chapter 136
The three Lao Jin siblings, including the old mother Xian Guizhen, get together less often and leave more often.

These days, the penetration rate of fixed lines is not necessarily very high, let alone mobile phones.

Video calls, online communication only seen in sci-fi movies.

He grew up so big, Jin Shang has never seen him a few times, and occasionally during New Year's festivals, he would send postcards with a few photos mixed in. If it wasn't like this, he would have been so neglected for so many years that he might not even recognize him when he met.

"Walking at this time?"

In mid-July, not long after falling, it was the hottest time of the year, the sun set very late, around [-] o'clock to [-] o'clock, around [-] degrees, and the ground was still steaming with waves of heat.

"It's cool in the park! It's not good to blow the air conditioner at home for too long! Your mother is not a strong body. It's better to go out for a walk more often."

Jin Shijiang washed his oily hands, wiped them on his apron, and poured two cups of herbal tea for Jin Shang and Li Xuan.

"Is the work going well? Nan Dabiao is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground. I haven't seen him much recently."

"Okay!"

Jin Shang took a few sips of water to moisten his throat,
"Cooking, do you want help?"

"No need, just stay with Xiao Li for a while!"

That's right, when Li Xuan came here, she didn't know anyone well except Jin Shang, so it would be wrong to leave her aside.

Jin Shi returned to the kitchen and continued cooking. Jin Shang asked Li Xuan:
"Are you and Mei Fengchun familiar?"

"It's so-so! I've driven two times, and I feel that the communication is okay, but it's hard to get close."

"Be polite and not overly rude, so it's not particularly difficult to deal with..."

This is because of a good education and a well-cultivated family education, you will have the attitude of dealing with people, business affairs, courteous reciprocity, very decent, and it is very difficult to really get recognized.

As long as you don't exclude contacts, it's fine not to bring small conflicts to Jin Shang's eyes.

Some things are really too busy, so it would be nice to be able to take time to form a group and practice songs on weekends.

As the lead singer of the band, Mei Fengchun had a heavy task. Not only did she have to prepare for the concert, but she also had to record the accompaniment tapes for a few singles to be released. This was enough for her and Fang Hua to keep busy for a while.

"You don't seem to like interacting with the Mei family very much..."

Li Xuan asked in a low voice,

"Is there any prejudice? It's not good to look at people with colored glasses!"

"How long have you known each other? I have known her since we were young..."

Jin Shang shrugged and replied casually,

"Maybe it's the influence of family education. People from Lao Mei's family naturally have a tenacious temperament. To put it nicely, it's called persistence. In fact, it's just stubborn. Eight horses won't be able to pull back the right thing."

"Just look at you! It's not a bad thing to be stubborn. Successful people need this kind of indomitable spirit."

"It's too late, so it's very easy to get into a dead end. If you do it right, you have to be reasonable. If you don't do it right, you know your mistake and admit it. It's hard to correct your mistakes. You don't look back when you hit the south wall, and you don't give up when you reach the Yellow River."

"Is that an exaggeration? I think Mei Fengchun is okay, quite reasonable!"

"That's because they didn't touch the place she cares about! Just like hedgehogs, if you keep a certain distance, you will feel that they are very kind and cute. If you get too close, you will be easily hurt by the thorns..."

"Warning others, but also protecting yourself?"

"Yes! If two members of the old Mei family get too close, they will hurt each other, and it will be uncomfortable. The bigger and the more stubborn, it seems easy to get close, but in fact it is just educated reserve. Before you really get to know each other, pay attention Proper, maintain a good sense of boundaries, otherwise..."

At the stage of being a little familiar but not very familiar, it is easy to feel that Mei Fengchun has a weird temper and moody, but in fact it is because he has not controlled the distance between getting along.

It is precisely because of understanding that Jin Shang keeps a respectful attitude towards Mei Xinghong.

"The most familiar stranger, it's hard to deal with!"

Xiao Jin sighed softly, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, changed a few channels, and accidentally saw Dai Yiqin.

In this talk show, Dai Yiqin is wearing a casual T-shirt, plain jeans, and plain glasses, looking sunny, handsome and elegant.

If others dare to dress so casually on TV, they will definitely be criticized. Dai Yiqin has a fashionable personality and is approachable.

"There are rumors that you, Luo Yang, and Jin Shang will release a new work soon. Is it true? Fans have high hopes for the 'Golden Combination' again..."

"Yes, the song is called "Persistence", and it is currently being arranged intensively. This is a very mature song that combines multiple styles. It can be regarded as a lyrical rock with a strong folk style."

"The gossip says that it will debut at the concert, is it true?"

"Your news is really well-informed. It's only been a few days since this matter was settled! If there are no accidents, it is true."

"Singing a new song at the concert, it seems that the expectations for this song are not low."

The host's question was a bit random, and he seemed to be very experienced in interviewing celebrities, and he grasped the subtext of Dai Yiqin's words very keenly.

"The quality of the song must be top-notch, otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in the concert. The tickets are so expensive, and the audience must feel that the trip is worthwhile."

"You also think it's a bit expensive? Tickets start to be sold today. There was a long queue at the sales point early in the morning. I thought it would be easy to buy tickets. Judging by the situation, it may be difficult. I have to say that the popularity is really high. There are many rich people."

"Correction, the tickets started to go on sale the night before. Most of the major cities across the country can be ordered online. Tickets can be picked up nearby, so you don't have to wait in line. It's very hot outside, especially at noon, and it's easy to suffer from heat stroke. Fans, you can consider buying online, it’s very convenient.”

"Oh, that's right, buying tickets on the Internet, the current high technology is really powerful, you can buy things without going out. I'll try it tonight..."

The host showed a funny laugh, then got down to business and asked,
"Is there anything in this song "Persistence" that particularly impresses you? I'd rather take the risk of debuting at a concert than do it. The general reason is unreasonable."

With Dai Yiqin's current reputation, not to mention releasing a new song, farting is worth money. A mistake in the release of a new song will cause at least hundreds of thousands of direct losses, and millions of indirect profits may be obtained. There are so many people who count on Dai Yiqin to make a living, it is impossible to let Dai Yiqin make his own decisions.

It doesn't matter if you are self-willed about other things, even playing big names. When it comes to buying and selling real money, Dai Yiqin can't have the final say at all.

"The songwriter Xiaojin is reasonable, and Changdi Culture is also a humane company. This song, regardless of the lyrics and music, seems to be dug out of my heart. It is so appropriate. Speaking of which, I am also in my 30s this year. I'm a father of two, I've sung half my life for fans, for fans, for advertisers, for sponsors, but I've never sung a song for myself and my family."

After a pause, Dai Yiqin added with a smile,
"Actually, when Xiao Jin showed me his music library, he was almost dazzled. In the end, I resisted the temptation and chose this one that I like the most. Of course, this good song is similar to the self-reported one. , and I hope you all like it.”

"Wait and see!"

The host praised the venue and gave affirmation, and then continued to ask,
"In other words, songwriter Jin Shang has quite a lot of 'inventory'. There are so many good songs that you are envious?"

"Yes! If it was more than a month ago, before it became popular again, I would definitely choose another one. Now, thanks to the support of fans all over the country, I have made a lot of money and solved my urgent needs. I can properly satisfy my pursuit. "

While Dai Yiqin was talking, she couldn't help laughing at herself,

"Chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, Xiaojin's words are really apt. The granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace. Now, I can sing well... right? I don't have to worry about the money for the children's cans of milk powder!"

After the episode, the host and Dai Yiqin talked about some topics that fans are interested in, such as interesting things in the creative process, private friendship, and plans for a period of time in the future.

In this regard, Dai Yiqin has rich experience, and suffered a lot of losses many years ago. After being tricked countless times, he finally understood how to deal with these media people.

Under the scrutiny of the public, Dai Yiqin's speech and behavior are almost impeccable.

"About the two newcomer singers who have risen to fame recently, Mei Shuying and Yuan Xiu, are you acquaintances? The song "Water Tune Getou When will the moon be there" that came out after a long time, was once with several well-known singers. There was a 'scandal'. As a result, a newcomer singer overwhelmed the crowd and became a singer, which was really surprising. Of course, Mei Shuying sang really well, and did not disgrace this classic. There is also Yuanxiu, although I didn't show up, but many people speculate that this is Jin Shang's stage name. I don't know what you think?"

"You are here to press the truth!"

Dai Yiqin didn't feel embarrassed at all, and replied very gracefully,

"Mei Shuying and Yuan Xiu are currently members of the same group. It is inconvenient to disclose the specific situation. It can only be said that Xiaomei is still a student, and she is not a debut singer yet. Yuan Xiu, let your imagination..."

"It seems that we can't get any more information today. Whether it's "When Will the Moon Come", "Farewell" or "Duplicity", the popularity of music radio stations has remained high recently, and it is very likely to challenge the popular songs of well-known singers , a rising star, really too fierce."

"When you say that, I also feel a lot of pressure. If I didn't take advantage of my fame, I might really be compared."

Dai Yiqin half-jokingly commented half-pertinently,

"Of course, this is a good thing. The industry has been stagnant for so many years, and more fresh blood joins in to add more vitality. It is also good news for the fans."

After seeing it, Jin Shang understood that this was probably part of the publicity plan arranged by Nan Dabiao. Tickets for the concert were officially on sale to stir up the enthusiasm, so that the sponsors could spend more money, and by the way, he made a guest appearance in the movie warm up.

At the end of this month, there will be nearly half a month before the movie "The Great Times" will be released. In the second half of the year, whether to make a lot of money, or to eat chaff, depends on this more than a month.

While Jin Shang and Li Xuan were watching TV to pass the time, suddenly, a vision came over, Jin Shang turned his head, and saw a child with thick head and thick head, staring at himself and Li Xuan.

So fascinated, I didn't even notice when a kid came running.

At this moment, the sound of the door lock closing came from behind, and a footstep came over.

"Erhui, don't run around, this is not your home, be polite...huh?"

"Aunt?"

"It's me! Ah Shang, you are so tall!"

Yan Shufan was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses, showing a smile, and affectionately grabbed the arm stretched out by Jin Shang who stood up, and then looked at Li Xuan who was smiling awkwardly.

"This is... your girlfriend?"

"Li Xuan!"

"I heard Fengchun talk about you, you are indeed a beautiful child."

After sitting down, Yan Shufan pulled Er Hui and said:

"Didn't you always look forward to meeting your cousin? Why are you so shy when you really meet?"

"It's taller and cooler than what you see on TV..."

"At a young age, I don't know where I learned the words, what is cool or not, it's a mess."

Yan Shufan pressed Erhui's shoulder, which was constantly twisting, and said to Jin Shang,

"The little guy often brags about how powerful his cousin is in front of his school friends..."

"Oh!"

Unexpectedly, Jin Shang, who still has a small fan, really doesn't know anything about this little cousin who only exists in memory.

From the photos in the past, I saw twice that the child grew up very fast, and his appearance changed a lot, and he was completely different from his original appearance.

"I'm disappointed, I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special."

When we met for the first time, Erhui was still a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Yan Shufan said kindly,
"I used to hear how talented and smart the children of Sanmei's family are. Now, seeing it is better than hearing it. They are indeed talents."

"You are overrated."

This is a person who is good at communicating. He and Mei Yingnian have been in the mall for so many years, and the business has grown bigger and bigger. It is certain that he is well-informed and has a good way of dealing with people.

Several people were talking, and then involuntarily turned their attention to the TV show. Dai Yiqin, who was very popular, even Yan Shufan, who didn't care much about the literary circle, had heard of it.

"This person, is it A Shang who made him famous? It really is good luck..."

"Dai Yiqin is a good person. Even without me, he can still become popular. I just poured oil on the fire."

"That's also very important. Who knows if he can persist until that day? Timing is very important. If you miss it, there will be a next time. No one can say."

Yan Shufan seemed to know a lot about this matter, and understood Jin Shang's key role in it.
"Fengchun, if it wasn't for your help and fame, how could she have had the chance to be on stage after a few years of hard work? It's the same in every industry. There are only so many top opportunities. If you don't seize them, you will be punished by God. .”
