Chapter 17 Invitation to Sing at the Red Orange Festival (2/2 ask for a monthly ticket)
"Teacher Yang, someone in my comment area said that you are the original singer of the popular "Goodbye"? Is that true?"
On Thursday morning, because Ouyang Cheng had to have a meeting, Yang Qian had nothing else to do, so he stayed in the office of Hecheng TV Station, reading newspapers and magazines, and enjoying the rare "retirement" time.
However, suddenly his mobile phone on the table vibrated, and he sent a WeChat message to Tiange, who seemed quite excited to ask him.
After the interview, Yang Qian and Xiang Tiange did not lose contact. They added each other on WeChat and became very good friends.
Yang Qian helped Xiang Tiange and Taili apply for the right to reprint the video. Xiang Tiange also communicated with Yang Qian. He wanted to help Yang Qian promote his music works.
It's just a pity that Yang Qian pursues perfection and is unwilling to release the recorded "First Time" in advance, while the other works have not been recorded yet, let alone when they will be released.
Yang Qian is not in a hurry to become famous, nor does he care whether the songs he releases are quickly recognized. So he asked Xiang Tiange to send the video without waiting for him.
However, Xiang Tiange did not know that "Goodbye" was sung by Yang Qian. He had viewed this song on the short video APP before, but it was all covered by Internet celebrities, and the singing was incomplete...
Unless Yang Qian himself said it, who would think of Yang Qian?
"It was me who sang it at the graduation ceremony before."
Yang Qian didn't hide anything this time, he admitted it openly.
"Wow! I said it looks a lot like you!"
"Why didn't you tell me before that you were so powerful?"
"You are more like an Internet celebrity than me!"
Xiang Tiange was a little excited and started talking one after another.
"Isn't it normal not to say anything?"
"And didn't I tell you before? I don't want to be an Internet celebrity."
"I just want to work on my music quietly. Being an Internet celebrity is too troublesome."
Yang Qian responded to his words one by one.
However, just as he finished typing the last word, the door to the office of Group 3 of their news department was opened, and Ouyang Chengkong walked in.
He just brought a thermos cup and notebook to the meeting!
Ouyang Cheng did not go back to his place, he just glanced at Yang Qian and waved to him:
"Xiao Yang, come out with me!"
"Oh, good!"
Did the teacher ask me to help move something?
Without thinking, Yang Qian stuffed his phone into the drawer and followed Ouyang Cheng out.
Xiang Tiange on the other end was still talking excitedly to Yang Qian:
"Teacher Yang, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, but I just want to make another video with you."
"My fans strongly urge me to collaborate with you once!"
He also sent a screenshot.
"I also learned the song "Goodbye" before. Can I sing it with you?"
"I wonder if Teacher Yang is free?"
"Forget it if you don't have time. I know you are quite busy with work now."
"Or should I go to the city to find you?"
However, when this sentence was sent out, it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and Yang Qian never responded.
Is it possible? There is no accurate answer...
Xiang Tiange was dumbfounded. He became entangled, not knowing what else he could say, and worried that Yang Qian would be disgusted if he said too much.
His mood at the moment was like that of a boy who sent a WeChat message to ask a girl out for the first time, worrying about gains and losses.
…
But it wasn't that Yang Qian didn't want to pay attention to him, he really didn't have time - when the teacher called him out, he didn't even have time to say a word to Xiang Tiange, and then followed the teacher into the office of Zang Yuewen, the director of the Information Department.
"Xiao Yang, let me introduce to you, this is Director Sun Guoji of the Literature and Art Department."
Ouyang Cheng introduced Yang Qian to another middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the office. Zang Yuewen didn't need to be introduced. He met him at every monthly meeting. Moreover, when Yang Qian signed for his full-time job, Ouyang Cheng also brought Yang Qian with him.
Qian went to invite Zang Yuewen to dinner, and it can be said that he was very familiar with him.
Yang Qian has also heard of the name Sun Guoji!
He is the deputy director of the Literature and Art Department, not the director.
But Sun Guoji, like Ouyang Cheng, is a relatively capable person in the Hecheng TV station, and a relatively well-established person in the circle of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles! Some large-scale cultural and artistic activities that the city has entrusted to the Hecheng TV station to organize are basically handled by Sun Guoji
director.
For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival cultural performance some time ago, Yang Qian also came to the scene as the atmosphere team. Looking at the whole show, I can't say it was very exciting, but it was still passable.
After all, it is a small-town theatrical performance. The actors are all seniors from the city's song and dance troupe, as well as some children from kindergarten. Yang Qian thinks it is good to be able to arrange it like this.
Sun Guoji obviously didn't come here to ask Yang Qian to report on the activities of their art department. There was no need for him to come forward for such a thing.
"Xiao Yang, Director Sun fell in love with your song "Seeing the Smoke Again", so he came here specially this time and said he would lend you to us."
Zang Yuewen sat sideways on the sofa, taking out a new cup and pouring tea for Yang Qian while talking.
"Sit, sit down and drink tea."
Ouyang Cheng patted Yang Qian's shoulder, smiled and sat down on the sofa on the side. Yang Qian was sitting on the chair moved from the desk.
The director poured tea, which was a good treatment. Yang Qian sat on a third of his buttocks and took it with both hands respectfully.
"We watched the news about your interviews with rural Internet celebrities. The subject matter is very novel and it has received a lot of attention online."
Sun Guoji and Yang Qian first spoke politely, and then slowly got to the point.
"Later I heard you sing the song "Seeing the Smoke Again", and I asked about it, and it was said that you wrote it yourself. When I heard it at the time, I thought it was very well written, very close to our lives, and very rustic."
"Seeing the Smoke Again" does have a bit of a rustic feel, but it cannot be considered "very", it is not that "rustic".
Of course, Yang Qian didn't refute, he listened humbly and kept nodding.
It's no secret that the song "See Smoke Again" was written by Yang Qian, because the later video production required subtitles and an introduction to the songwriter at the end. My colleagues in the production department couldn't find it online, so they asked.
Come here, so what’s written behind it is Yang Qian’s name.
Ouyang Cheng also knew about this, he even praised Yang Qian so much on Monday, which was not the same as Yourong.
However, now Sun Guoji not only had the idea of Yang Qian's song, he also thought of borrowing it from Yang Qian. Anyway, the songwriters, composers, and original singers were all from his own company, so there was no need to use it in vain...
"The 15th Heyang Red and Orange Festival will be held in Heyang County next month. We will be responsible for the singing and dancing performances at the opening ceremony. Xiao Yang, if you come here, you will be singing on behalf of our Heyang TV station singers, and "See the Smoke Again"
"This song was composed in Hecheng. It also praises the magnificent scenery of the red land of our city. It can be said that it also represents our city. It is most appropriate to sing it at the Red and Orange Festival!"
Sun Guoji made all kinds of claims, but he still had only one purpose, to prostitute Yang Qian and Yang Qian's songs for free...
Of course, it is not free prostitution in the true sense. When Yang Qian comes to his work group, there will be subsidies, bonuses, including singing appearance fees. Sun Guoji will not treat his own people badly.
It's just that the "free prostitution" mentioned here is because Yang Qian is not as famous as a famous singer, and he is not even a professional singer. They invited Yang Qian over and it didn't cost much, so they saved a lot of money.
.
You know, old artists don't accept invitations very much these days. Ordinary singers are expensive to appear on, and they don't sing well, so it's really better to use your own people.
Yang Qian didn't mind being prostituted for nothing, because the Red and Orange Festival is a major drawcard of the Dutch city. During the seventh festival, the national goddess Sister Song even came to the stage to sing.
Yang Qian watched it on TV when he was a child!
Being able to stand on the same stage and sing with your idol across time and space is a dream come true, right?
What's more, it is Yang Qian's duty to sing for the people of his hometown, and to sing for the sales of his hometown's specialties and agricultural products.
"Xiao Yang, don't have any worries. Your teacher and I have already agreed on your work. You can continue it when you come back. It won't affect you."
"Yes, go ahead. It's okay. I can do the interview alone. The key is to focus on the overall situation. The Red and Orange Festival is also an important program hosted by our Dutch TV station."
"Look, Teacher Ouyang agreed!"
Teacher Ouyang and Director Zang next to him also looked at him expectantly, as if Yang Qian sang on stage, it would be a great honor for their news department, which made it even more impossible for Yang Qian to refuse.
"No, I was just wondering if the song "Seeing the Smoke Again" is too short. However, since Director Sun approves it so much, I will definitely practice hard and I will not be able to live up to your expectations of me."
Yang Qian agreed.
In fact, he felt that his guitar-singing version of "Seeing the Smoke Again" was nice to listen to, but it lacked a bit of aura and was not as gentle and elegant as Deng Tianhou, so it was not suitable for such a big scene.
But when he carefully thought about the ten songs he already had, it seemed that none of them was more suitable than "Seeing the Smoke Again".
"The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" is not appropriate, and "Goodbye" is also about farewell. It is almost enough to be sung at the closing ceremony, but there was no performance at the closing ceremony of the Red and Orange Festival.
You can't go up and sing "The First Time", right?
Singing this song in front of a group of city leaders, the scene should not be too weird...
