At home in Jingzhou, her mother went out to work and her younger sister had not returned from school, leaving Zeng Li alone at home to review her homework.
Zeng Li took the Chinese Opera exam after she was assigned a job after graduation. She is a bit older than other candidates. Her performance in the Chinese Opera cultural class was a problem for her, and she occasionally needed help from her younger sister to assist with her homework.
Although the cultural class score of Chinese opera is not much required.
She didn't know how long she had been reading, but Zeng Li felt a little tired. She leaned back on the chair and stretched. She randomly searched for a tape on the table and inserted it into the tape recorder to play.
The cassettes in her room are all Princess's cassettes, whether they are in Cantonese or Mandarin. She is a loyal fan of Princess and really likes her songs.
Listening to Wang Fei's old songs, Zeng Li pondered the time. Wang Fei's new album "Impetuous" will be released in a month, and she still needs to wait. She has been looking forward to it for a long time.
Listening to the song, Zeng Li's mind unknowingly went back to the time when he was taking the National Theater Arts Examination, and he thought of that person again.
I only got the news that he was admitted to the Central Theater Department from Teacher Chang Li of the Central Theater Company, and then I never heard from him again, just like a kite with a broken string.
Zeng Li often felt a little regretful. If she had taken the initiative to ask for his contact information that day, it would not have been like this. After finally finding a boy of the same age that she liked, she shouldn't be so non-competitive.
But Zeng Li soon felt relieved. There are still a few months left, and we will see each other again when the school starts in September.
Soon there was a movement outside the room, and Zeng Li knew that it was his sister who had returned.
"....Loving you means loving myself, oh, yeah, loving you means loving myself..."
From a distance, he could hear his sister humming a song cheerfully, always repeating a few lines. Zeng Li frowned and thought for a moment, as if she had never heard it before.
The two sisters have a good relationship and often fight and fight, so when her sister rudely opened her door, Zeng Li was already used to it and didn't even put down the book in her hand to take a look.
Zeng Xiaomei put down the mineral water bottle in her hand and started playing the tape recorder to listen to the radio.
"If you want to listen to music, go back to your room and get it," Zeng Li said.
"I don't, hee hee." Zeng Xiaomei didn't care about her sister's words, and was playing tricks in her sister's room, relaying the broadcast on a music channel.
The host on the music channel is introducing the popular music on the radio music list along with the music. Several songs were released last year, such as Gao Feng's "Greater China", Zhang Xueyou's "A Thousand Reasons for Sadness", Princess
"I hope people will last forever", Zhang Xinzhe's "Excessive", etc.
However, the ranking of last year's songs on the list has declined compared to the original, but the good songs are still tenaciously staying on the list.
Several new good songs released this year, such as "Telepathy" by Meng Weiting, "Wild Flowers" by Tian Zhen, "Who Are You Missing" by Wu Qixian, and "The End of the Song" by Zhang Yu, have all appeared on the list.
On the list, the momentum has been rising rapidly, and it has even ranked among the top few.
Zeng Li didn't care about this. He only turned his attention when he heard songs that mentioned the princess.
"The singer we are going to mention today is incredible. Although he is a newcomer, he immediately hit the charts as soon as he released his songs. The two songs he has released now are already ranked in the top two of the charts, which is incredible...
..”
Another host added: "It's unbelievable but it's natural. He is a talented singer. I heard that he almost did all the lyrics, music, and arrangement of an album. Talented people shouldn't be buried..."
"He is a high-quality idol singer. His unique and clear pop singing voice can really attract the favor of teenagers. Many of the people who call to order his songs are young people..."
Zeng Xiaomei listened to the introduction with great interest, and soon changed the channel. While adjusting the frequency, she complained: "It's really annoying. I haven't played a song for so long."
The channel was quickly changed. When she heard the familiar prelude, Zeng Xiaomei immediately jumped for joy. She held her chin in her hands and leaned on the table with her elbows and listened quietly and carefully.
"The rain I've been in
blow the wind you blew
Closer than wind and rain
shadow of two people
in the same world
Have the same memories...."
Zeng Li was suddenly startled and turned around with a look of disbelief on her face. That voice was so familiar and haunting.
After listening to the song, Zeng Xiaomei saw Zeng Li's abnormality, but she did not guess Zeng Li's thoughts and thought that her sister liked his songs as much as she did.
He said happily: "Why, sister, you like it too, I will change it again."
Then they tuned the radio channel several times, and the two of them listened to the two songs intermittently.
At this time, the phone in the living room outside the room rang. Zeng Xiaomei quickly went to answer the phone, chatted for a few words, hurriedly hung up the phone and turned on the TV.
His music video is playing on the TV music channel.
Zeng Xiaomei focused all her attention on the MV, placing her hands in front of her and swaying rhythmically to the accompaniment.
He didn't notice Zeng Li standing in front of the door at all, slowly approaching, his eyes never leaving the TV for a moment.
The music video for "Loving You Equals Loving Myself" is from the perspective of his girlfriend, and almost all are close-ups of Liu Hao.
Wearing a gray suit with an open collar and holding a long microphone in his hand, you can clearly see the changes in the corners of Liu Hao's mouth.
There is sunshine in the youth, and the light of confidence on the pure face. A raised eyebrow, a wink, a smile, every expression is natural and provocative, but not greasy at all.
This caused Zeng Xiaomei to scream.
Zeng Li, who had quietly sat next to Zeng Xiaomei, was much more reserved and steady. When she saw the beauty of a man and a woman embracing each other under the sunset in the music video, there was a hint of fascination in her twinkling eyes.
"Ah, sister, he is so handsome. How happy it would be to be his girlfriend," Zeng Xiaomei said with a look of infatuation, "Do you think this is possible for me?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" Zeng Li immediately poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Sister, you don't know how many of my classmates are obsessed with him, but they just can't buy his records and tapes, so we agreed that if we find his music videos and commercials on TV, we'll notify each other...
.." Zeng Xiaomei still acted like a nymphomaniac and took out the copied lyrics from her schoolbag as she said, "How can he be so talented and write such a good song..."
Zeng Li suddenly saw the mineral water bottle that Zeng Xiaomei had been holding in her hand. She grabbed it and noticed Liu Hao's portrait on the bottle.
Zeng Xiaomei calmed down a little. She looked at her sister's strange appearance with a puzzled look on her face. She suddenly realized it, showed a mischievous expression, and pretended to be aggrieved: "Sister, do you also like him? If you like him, I will give it to you."
, I can’t compete with you anyway..."
"Teasing your sister again," Zeng Li patted Zeng Xiaomei's head gently, pointed at the mineral water bottle and asked for confirmation, "Why is he up here?"
"Of course he is the spokesperson of Wahaha. This is Wahaha's new mineral water. It is because of him that it is selling so well..."
Suddenly, Zeng Xiaomei thought of something and shouted, which startled Zeng Li.
"Girl, don't be so surprised..."
Zeng Xiaomei didn't listen to the advice and took Zeng Li's hand and shook it, "I heard that he will go to the Chinese Opera School soon. You have also passed the Chinese Opera exam. Are you in the same class? Have you met before?...
"
He chirped a series of words.
Zeng Li sighed and nodded.
"Ah!" Zeng Xiaomei yelled, "Sister, I am so lucky that we are classmates with him. If my classmates knew about it, they would definitely envy me..."
Then he went to his sister to please him and said, "Sister, can you ask him for an autographed record for me?" He glanced at his sister and changed his words, "As long as you sign it, that's fine. As long as you help me in the future."
Because I listen to you..."
.....
Amid a burst of cheers and screams, Liu Hao waved and then left the stage.
The meaning is still not finished.
"You performed so well." Once behind the scenes, Wang Jinghua came over and handed over an unopened bottle of Wahaha mineral water that had been prepared.
"Thank you," Liu Hao drank it all in one gulp, feeling indescribably happy.
In just a few days after the song and advertisement were released, Liu Hao could feel his popularity.
In the past few days, I have been following Wahaha's promotional performances. At first, there were only a few scattered audience members who were interested in me off the stage, but gradually the number increased, until it was full, and now the whole audience is cheering enthusiastically for me.
Earth-shaking changes.
My singing status on stage is also getting better and better.
The person in charge of Wahaha quickly rushed behind the scenes and talked enthusiastically with Liu Hao for a while. After leaving, Wang Jinghua began to report the situation.
"As far as I know, the launch of Wahaha mineral water has been very successful. The sales volume in various places has greatly exceeded the estimate. They are very satisfied with your performance and want to extend the endorsement contract with you..."
"That's no problem." Liu Hao nodded. The cooperation with Wahaha is a win-win situation. Liu Hao is happy to continue to cooperate with them.
Now that two of Liu Hao's songs have reached the top of the charts, Wahaha has made great efforts in publicity. After all, Wahaha is a big advertising company, and it can also be regarded as the financial backer of those TV stations. Therefore, under Wahaha's hint, those radio stations are willing to provide
some help.
Of course, the premise is that Liu Hao's songs are of high quality. After all, TV stations and radio stations nowadays still need to have some respect, and it is impossible to just promote a garbage song and push it to the rankings.
After Liu Hao's song was released, it was immediately welcomed by the majority of teenagers. It became famous and rose steadily on the charts. With the help of the icing on the cake of those radio and television stations, the song finally reached the top of the list.
But the top spot won't last long. After all, there are too many quality songs on the list. It's like a fight among gods. Being on the list is already the limit.
But this is enough, after all, this situation has exceeded Liu Hao's surprise.
What he's most excited about is the third song he's released.
Wang Jinghua continued to report: "Recently, I have received many calls from companies, wanting to invite you to perform acupuncture and advertising endorsements."
Liu Hao nodded: "You can discuss cooperation after my first album is released. You can help me choose a few suitable ones first."
Wang Jinghua recorded it and continued: "Pirated tapes of your songs have appeared on the market recently..."
Liu Hao: "???"
Wang Jinghua took out a version of the tape. Liu Hao took it and took a look. It was a platter tape.
"It's so fast," Liu Hao sighed with emotion.
"This is how popular people are," Wang Jinghua said. "There is a market only when there is demand. This is enough to prove how much the market expects your songs. In order to avoid piracy from having too much impact on your album sales, I suggest you do it as soon as possible within one month."
The first album will be released and listed."
"I understand." The recording of most of the songs for the first album has been completed, and there are still a few song MVs that have not been produced. There is no problem in releasing the first album within a month.
The premise is that he has to work overtime. After all, Liu Hao still has to obey Wahaha's commercial performance arrangements.
After reporting some other things, Wang Jinghua finally said: "Li Bingbing specially asked me to congratulate you on her behalf and express her gratitude at the same time for giving her this opportunity and greatly increasing her exposure..."
"Say thank you for me. We are all friends, so don't be so polite. She deserves this."
Wang Jinghua nodded with satisfaction, "Also, Xu Jinglei also called me and expressed a little dissatisfaction, saying that there were too few scenes in your MV, even though you filmed so many..."
"Just reply to him and say it was edited by my elder brother..." Liu Hao quickly threw the blame.
Liu Hao did this deliberately to please Gao Yuanyuan, who told her not to deal with Gao Yuanyuan.
Anyway, Wahaha paid her enough for the film, so it was her business to edit the film, and she couldn't interfere.
"By the way, help me choose a house next to the Chinese Theater. The price should be less than 400,000 yuan." Liu Hao suddenly said.
At this time, housing prices in Beijing were no longer cheap. Housing prices in the Second Ring Road, such as near the China Theater, had exceeded 3,000, and were still rising.
The earlier you buy, the more money you will make, which is equivalent to an investment. Moreover, Liu Hao also needs a house of his own now. Some time ago, he stayed up all night at Yu Feihong's place, but was criticized by his mother for a while.
Now that I am an adult, I am already qualified to move out. Although my parents are a little reluctant to let go, they will not stop me.
Wahaha's endorsement fee of 270,000 plus the hundreds of thousands she earned from acting for Wahaha during this period is definitely enough.
