Walking into this street again, there were fewer people sketching and painting on the bridge.
After all, it was getting dark, and the light was not as good as during the day. Many people had left, leaving only a few painters who were reluctant to leave, enduring hunger and completing the last bit of work at hand.
Han Qi passed by on the bridge and examined their level, mentally commenting on their strengths and weaknesses.
All pretty good.
Han Qi was a little surprised at their level. If a random painting was of this level, then they must have collected their own better works, and they would probably not be worse than the works of famous artists in the gallery.
Sure enough, there are excellent painters everywhere, the only difference is the chance of becoming famous.
It's a pity that all my painting tools are stored at home, and I have no chance to take them out to install them. Otherwise, I really could have painted here for a day and listened to the exclamations of the onlookers.
The painting at home should have been done, right? I should be able to finish the oil painting when I go back this time.
It's okay for a painter who has become famous to have only one exhibited work.
The painting given to Trieste was originally kept in her house in Bergen. After learning that Han Qi's second painting was sold for more than 10 million, she was so frightened that she quickly deposited the painting in a bank safe.
He almost died laughing when he told Han Qi.
But think about it, it would be a bit dangerous if others knew about it.
So if Trisette didn't nod her head about this painting, Han Qi wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Crossing this bridge is the Dublin City Hall, a very simple red brick house with three floors. There is a door with a colonnade outside, and there is a sign of the City Hall on the pillar.
After bypassing here, I saw the city attractions the waiter mentioned.
But the Dublin Castle here is not the ancient castle that Han Qi imagined. Instead, the structure is somewhat similar to the Chinese courtyard with two courtyards. However, the structure is a structure, and the appearance is still very castle-style.
After all, it is a building with a history of nearly 800 years. This means that ancient European buildings generally use stone, otherwise these houses would have collapsed 800 years ago.
But even so, the daily maintenance costs of this ancient building will not be low.
So when Han Qi knew that it was free for tourists to visit, it was strange. It was normal for a place like this to charge twenty pounds, right?
Han Qi said before that his structure is similar to a two-in-a-siheyuan, but the area needs to be enlarged several times.
When you enter, you can see a suspension bridge and an introduction to this place.
More than a hundred years ago, this was the hub and office space for the British administration of Ireland. Later, when Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom, it became a place for Ireland to hold important state affairs and receive foreign guests, which has a strong political significance.
In this case, it is free and there is a trace to follow.
After all, this is the testimony of their independence.
Modern people don’t understand much of history clearly, and this introduction also understates the word independence. But if you think about it carefully, how difficult it is to become independent from a powerful country and become a country with its own sovereignty.
.
When Han Qi came here, it was too late and he couldn't get in. He could only look at the high walls on all sides of the castle and the suspension bridge in front.
You can enter the Royal Church, and there are people lighting candles inside.
Seeing that someone had come in, and he was a foreigner, the priest nodded to Han Qi and motioned for him to visit casually.
Han Qi also smiled politely and wandered around minding his own business.
He doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas, so he usually doesn't worship at any church or temple.
In his heart, he didn't believe in their existence, so there was no need to be pretentious. When he came to such a place, Han Qi treated it as a tourist attraction and also learned about the characteristics of European architecture.
"Father, is this church as historic as the castle next to it?"
"A castle? Of course not, but it's also very old."
The priest speaks very slowly, but he feels very friendly inexplicably.
I don’t know if this is the off-season for tourism in Ireland, but few people are visiting the huge church. There are more local people. They sit on the chairs in the church with their heads lowered in thought, which makes Han Qi who is passing by wonder if they are.
Fell asleep.
Hey, it's time to eat.
Han Qi did not call them and sat on the bench in the church.
The bench is still relatively new, but it is definitely an old item from more than twenty years ago. However, it is made of solid materials, so it still feels stable when you sit down, and there is no sound at all.
Han Qi even heard the prayers of people around him.
Sitting there, the atmosphere is extremely quiet.
Han Qi found that his mind was spinning very fast at this time, and he suddenly had the desire to work... The work Han Qi mentioned was not writing code at work, but writing travel notes.
Travel journals are very profitable, very profitable. A travel journal written as a test case brought Han Qi millions in income in just one month.
But his passion for writing was completely inferior to singing, sculpting, and riding horses.
Maybe this is the difference between profession and talent. Profession gives you all the skills and then makes you fall in love with this profession in your memory, but talent will not give you any memory, everything depends on you.
Just like the language talent, Han Qi has taken the initiative to learn Norwegian so far.
Otherwise, with the speed at which he learns one language, he only needs to study seriously for a week or two before he can use another language to communicate with foreigners on a daily basis.
What is this, bursting with inspiration?
It’s true. Han Qi knew that some authors of online novels couldn’t code well at home and had to go to milk tea shops or coffee shops. The same should be true for this church. This kind of quiet environment with a bit of white noise is really
Very suitable for text work.
Went out to eat somewhere on the street.
Han Qi discovered that there are many bars in the UK and Ireland, which is different from Northern Europe. Their bars are very hidden, and you have to register when you go to the supermarket to buy alcohol. The control is very strict, but there is no control over drinking.
The UK is pretty good, not to the level of Ireland where you can get a pub in a few steps.
Did I come to the bar street?
Dublin Nine Eyes Bridge?
He suddenly discovered a hot pot restaurant and hurriedly walked in.
The occupancy rate in the restaurant is average, and there are only a few tables of customers in the huge hall. Perhaps Irish people also know that summer is not the weather for hot pot.
After entering, Han Qi found a seat by the window. A waiter who looked obviously foreign came up and asked, "Are you Chinese? Please order."
"Yes."
Take the menu.
The menu is available in three languages, Chinese, English and Irish.
Although Irish is the first official language of Ireland, only tourists who come to Ireland will know that the common language here is actually English, and only some people in remote places can only speak Irish.
The reason for this is probably because of the British invasion. Although they have worked hard to regain their country's traditional writing and language, it is of no use at present.
"Red oil pot bottom, beef, tripe, sturgeon, squid, fish balls, pork belly, luncheon meat..." After ordering and putting down the menu, Han Qi said to the foreigner, "That's it, you'll order more after you finish."
, are you Irish? Do you speak Mandarin?"
As he recorded it, he said: "Yes, sir, I am Irish, but I don't know Mandarin. Only our boss can."
If no special preparation is needed, then Chinese hot pot is very simple.
You only need to boil hot water, add the hot pot base ingredients, and then let the guests choose the food they want. Therefore, it is easy to open a hot pot restaurant abroad. If you really can't fry the base ingredients yourself, then just spend money to buy them.
How much does the base cost?
A meal here starts at at least 40 euros, and as long as one customer comes in and orders, everything is earned back.
Ten minutes later, Han Qi almost choked on the Coke.
"Why are they all my videos?"
Whether he is on Bilibili or visiting TikTok abroad, Han Qi watches the most things related to his several professions. Music is a big category, so the chance of seeing singing videos is also very high.
But he just saw three singing videos related to himself.
All three are videos of themselves singing outside a Hobson store. Two or three hours is enough to hold a concert. Some people just cut out the songs one by one and share them on TikTok, which can also attract fans.
This kind of behavior does not constitute infringement of song copyright by Han Qi, so he was quite proud when he saw the first video, thinking that he is still so awesome, no matter how deep the water in the European and American music circles is, I can still control it.
.
But if you keep brushing until something is wrong, it requires extremely high heat.
Opening the popularity list, I saw that two of my videos were on the list, ranked third and sixth. One of them was an 'original music' that I had just obtained.
I'm shaking with anger, this is my own song, you can forget about posting other songs, my song hasn't been officially released yet.
Han Qi was surprised and proud at first. When he saw that his song was also uploaded, he was really a little angry, but he was not thinking of his own interests, but of Wang Zheng.
Damn it, luckily Wang Zheng is busy with domestic affairs and has not paid attention to me for the time being, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.
Han Qi didn't care when others scolded him, or even hung up the phone, but Wang Zheng couldn't. He really helped him a lot. Before Han Qi opened this studio, he only took the income from his song manager to take charge of Han Qi's work.
Various personal things.
Why don't you call and explain?
Forget it, send me a WeChat message.
He edited a message of more than 100 words and sent it to Wang Zheng. At the end of the message, Han Qi said... I know it's my problem, but I just wrote the song and didn't think about it that much. You first
Calm down, I hung up the phone, contact me in eight hours.
Then Han Qi really hung up the phone.
It's just evening here, and it's probably three o'clock in the morning back home.
Hmm... Then it will be about the same when I wake up tomorrow.
Han Qi came out of the hot pot restaurant and went directly back to the hotel. He had wanted to go to the bar before. Although he wasn't good at drinking, he could see. It would be a waste to not have such good eyes to watch dancing beauties.
After watching videos for a while, I saw that I was getting more and more popular on related videos and tiktok, and I felt more and more unhappy.
A song that is so mediocre can be released, ugh.
Wang Zheng had always been a light sleeper, and he had set special sound effects for Han Qi's message notification tone, so he woke up in a daze after receiving the message. It took him a while to realize that someone had sent him a message.
Send me a message in the middle of the night, that grandson doesn’t want to live anymore?
Anxious to wake up, he saw the WeChat message sent by Han Qi.
"Brother Wang, I had a little itchy hands when I was in the UK, so I sang a few songs here on the Thames River, but now it seems to be popular. My songs are everywhere on TikTok. I checked YouTube and my attention
The price has skyrocketed in the past two days, what should I do? By the way, there is also a new song..."
Wang Zheng's eyes grew bigger and bigger as he waited, and his heart was full of surprises.
Is this guy so popular abroad?
He got up quickly, put on some clothes and went to turn on the computer. It took him a long time to log in to the YouTube channel.
When the studio first opened, they counted Han Qi's various social accounts and found that there were only more than one million fans on YouTube, all gathered from watching Han Qi's vlogs and a few street performances.
But in the network outside the wall, there are more than one million followers, and even a little bit of buzz can’t reach it.
But now there are three million.
Is it worthy of being the modern Internet? As long as it becomes popular, its popularity will rise so quickly!
He didn’t know the name of the new song Han Qi mentioned, so he quickly called the other people in the studio. After a long time, he found out that the new song was called rhythm of the rain. After listening to it for a while, although he didn’t understand the lyrics, the melody and rhythm were very good.
.
He began to envy the handsome figure in the video again. He was so good at singing English songs. Was he a natural singer?
Listened to it twice more.
Finally, someone in the work group reminded: "It's not easy for Brother Han to become so popular abroad. We have to strike while the iron is hot. We need to let Brother Han reveal the pure version of this song as soon as possible. Although it sounds good live,
, but the reception is too bad.”
After all, it was just a simple street singing without any professional radio equipment.
"Yes, strike while the iron is hot!"
Wang Zheng's whole body felt hot in the middle of the night. If it works well, it will attract a large number of foreign fans in a short period of time, develop the foreign music circle, and then be able to promote Han Qi's international superstardom.
If you are not an international superstar in Asia, you are in the UK.
Wang Zheng didn't even think about how many songs Han Qi had in total.
With this excitement, he called Han Qi's phone twice, and both times it was turned off... His blood suddenly turned cold, thinking of Han Qi's WeChat content, and feeling the cold temperature of the night.
This shit.
It's just a song promoted in advance. We don't earn enough money at all. Why should I scold you?
Even turned off the phone!
Why didn't I realize you were such a fool before?
……………………
Han Qi was still worried about this when he first fell asleep, but he fell asleep quickly. When he woke up, he completely forgot about yesterday's unpleasantness. He was not inferior to anyone in terms of sleep quality.
I found my phone somewhere on the bed and clicked on it.
Shut down.
Memories of yesterday suddenly came flooding back.
Lao Wang won't be crazy about it, after all, he has always asked himself to give new songs, and now he has wasted a good song.
After turning on the phone, I saw a lot of incoming calls and a lot of messages on WeChat.
Before Han Qi could see what they said in WeChat, he felt his phone vibrate, and then the ringtone rang.
