Entering April, spring seems to have just arrived in the Northeast. It is cool in the morning and evening and warm at noon. You can take off your still thick coat and wear a sweater or sweater.
In the classroom, Yao Yuemin is teaching his classmates.
"Just a young boy who was a classmate, he was in his prime; he was a scholar, and he scolded Fang Qiu. He pointed out the country and inspired writing, and the filth of thousands of households was..."
“If you want to understand a poem, you must first understand the background of its writing.
In the late autumn of 1925, the teacher left Shaoshan to run a peasant movement training center in Guangzhou. He passed through Changsha and wrote the song "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" when he revisited Juzizhou.
The teacher is very fond of Changsha. He studied in Changsha and the early revolutionary movements were all in Changsha. These are called prosperous years. When we were young, several classmates were in high spirits together. Facing the beautiful scenery of thousands of mountains and mountains, they admired the magnificence of the splendid rivers and mountains.
, and also sad and angry at the fall of the great mountains and rivers..."
"This is sublime beauty, worried about the world, and full of heroic spirit!"
The students really enjoyed attending Yao Yuemin’s class.
He taught on his behalf and immersed himself in it. He talked about Lu Xun's regretful tears, about Li Bai's wantonness and unrestrainedness, about the Three Kingdoms scolding the old thief Sima, and about the tenderness and gentleness of the Red Mansion...
The same thing happened to the lecturer this time, and the class passed in the blink of an eye.
Yao Yuemin enters the scene quickly and withdraws quickly. The bell is like some kind of switch. When it rings, he becomes sanctimonious and human.
Ignoring the students who were still unfinished, I flashed back to the office with my books in my arms.
He has senior qualifications and strong professional ability, but sometimes he is too involved and often talks about sensitive topics in class, which makes him unable to become the leader of the Chinese teaching and research team.
I don't care either. I'm popular in school, my salary is decent, there's social security within the system, my son is successful, and I can make ends meet just by having a daughter-in-law.
"Old Yao, I heard that we went to the world of two last night and had barbecue? And I brought flowers!"
As soon as he walked in, his colleagues teased him, saying: "What's wrong with eating barbecue or getting flowers? Life can be simple, but it can't be rough. Do you understand?"
"Hey, look at Teacher Yao's state of mind, no wonder the couple has such a good relationship. The one in my family didn't even buy me green onions."
"My children are also promising. Hey, Lao Yao, when will a big car pick you up and take you to the capital?"
Yao Yuan drove a shabby Accord back and took a trip during the Spring Festival, and the whole family knew about it.
It has become a fixed meme in the office. He makes jokes whenever he has nothing to do. Yao Yuemin has a good attitude and accepts it happily. Of course, he also feels a little contempt in his heart.
Do you know what my son does?
Do you know that your family fortune is at least tens of millions?!
Even with a big car, my private money has now increased to 305 yuan! I can buy 61 packs of Honghe!
Anyone who has been to the teacher's office will know that it is not as serious as imagined. It is very lively and chats all the time. If any student is unfortunately called to lecture, it is fun for the whole room.
All the teachers were eavesdropping, but they were gossiping.
As they were talking, someone suddenly said: "Hey, Teacher Yao, have you ever heard of Daolang's song?"
"I heard it, what happened?"
"Do you know who he is?"
"Um??"
Yao Yuemin was stunned. He didn't know since when, only two songs were played in the streets and alleys of the small town, one was "The First Snow in 2002" and the other was "The Punishment of Impulse".
Can't even escape.
Yuan Liping can hum a few lines even if she doesn't like listening to music.
When asked, he said curiously: "Yes, I just know that his name is Daolang, but I don't know anything else."
"Let's just say, I wanted to buy an album yesterday but I couldn't buy it. My boss said he didn't know about it. He didn't even know what it looked like."
"Hehe, it's quite mysterious."
It's such a small topic, but no one takes it to heart, and no one will check why these two songs have become popular unknowingly.
Yao Yuemin didn't take it seriously. He took two more Chinese classes in the afternoon and waited to get off work. When the time came, he rode out of the way on his bicycle and did not wait for Yuan Liping.
Yuan Liping is the leader of the mathematics teaching and research team, the head teacher, and the backbone of the business. Parents are rushing to find her to make up lessons. She often takes up evening self-study, and she even knows a secret trick:
The art of disappearing physical education teachers!
But Yao Yuemin didn't go home either. He went to a bookstore in front of the post office, selling books, newspapers, CDs and the like.
He went in and directly looked for relevant newspapers and periodicals on the Internet to see if there were any reports about his son. If there were any, he would buy them. When he went home, he would carefully cut them out and make newspaper clippings.
Newspaper clippings, this thing is so far away from now, even children have never heard of it.
Popular in the 1980s and 1990s, make a big book, cut out valuable words and pictures you see in newspapers, and paste them on it, accumulating one book after another.
It's still valuable, it's all historical information.
Well, my son is engaged in the Internet, and my father is engaged in newspaper clipping. Times have changed...
He found two newspapers and a magazine, which mentioned Yao Yuan or 99's properties. When he took them to pay, he casually asked: "Is there any song by Dao Lang?"
"..."
The boss glanced at him depressedly and said, "There is no album, do you want a single?"
"Single single??"
"Let me tell you, I don't know who Sha Qian Dao came up with such a good song and it is so popular, eh, I will get you two songs.
At first there were no two songs, just one song.
It seems that after the Spring Festival, "The First Snow in 2002" came out from somewhere. Anyway, it became popular. After it became popular, another song "Punishment of Impulse" came out.
There are no photos, no information, and the publishers don’t know who to look for. It’s all folklore. Even pirated copies can’t be made. You say it’s an album, and when someone buys it and listens to it, it’s just two songs. It’s good if I don’t beat you up!
I know it’s called Daolang, who the hell is Daolang?!”
"It's not that, it's not that, isn't it just singing?"
"That's all money! Even Shen Cheng is playing his songs, but he can't find anyone to sell them to, and we can't sell them. It's such a scam."
…………
Beijing.
Bian Gang was drinking with some buddies.
He is in his forties and is an audio-visual distributor. He started working in the 1990s and moved from Guangzhou to Beijing. He has a small fortune.
From the birth of commercial songs during the reform and opening up to the early 1990s, music distribution has always been an official activity, with a unit called the "Audio and Video Publishing House".
It was the best time to make money. People needed music. The money earned by Pacific Records in Guangzhou in a year could build a building. Printing albums was like printing RMB.
Later, the policy was liberalized and private companies were able to engage in distribution, so countless publishers, large and small, sprang up overnight.
The environment at that time was: sales meetings were held every year, and publishers from all over the country gathered in Guangzhou to listen to the album live. If they thought the album was good, they would order it immediately. If they thought it didn't sound good, they would order less.
These publishers then take the albums to all parts of the country, subcontract them layer by layer, and distribute them to villages and towns.
In the 1990s, the mainland music scene was on the rise, there were countless singers, and piracy was rampant. Even if piracy was rampant, you could still make money. For example, a box of tapes costs 10 yuan, the record company gets 80-1 yuan, and the retailer gets 1.5 yuan.
The rest belongs to the publisher.
But it's not easy to make money now. One is that the record industry is in collective depression, and the other is that major record companies have their own distribution departments, and competition is fierce.
Guangzhou was once the base of southern music. Nowadays, there are only bars and nightclubs left in the area, and the music is becoming more and more in decline.
So Bian Gang came to the capital to hang out and earn as much as possible before he couldn't do anything anymore.
