I left the recording studio and didn't go anywhere. I borrowed a phone from the communication room and called the Broadcasting Art Troupe next door.
That's what it means.
The call was transferred twice before it was transferred to the person I was looking for, "Lao Hou?"
"Has that prickly guy in your yangqin class been honest lately?" Laohou said before waiting for a reply, "If she's not honest yet, ask her to come to me after class. I have something to do with her."
"You're not going to teach that person, are you?"
Lao Hou's tone was really not a joke, "That's what it means."
After work in the afternoon, a furry head poked around the office door, like a dishonest gopher on the farm, which made people want to hit her with a leather mallet.
When Chinese people say that a person is "thorny", they mean that person is cunning and loves to look for trouble. Wang Xiaofang's nickname of "thorny" comes from a "feat" she performed.
This girl's parents both worked in the Jincheng Song and Dance Troupe. Like most troupe children of this era, she learned musical instruments as a cook when she was in elementary school. When she grew up, she joined the Jincheng Song and Dance Troupe to serve as a rice bowl, and later she was admitted to the Broadcasting Art Troupe.
These days, I am a hero and my children may not necessarily be heroes, but I am a regular worker and my children will definitely have an iron rice bowl.
With rich material and no worries about work, Wang Xiaofang was also involved in literary and artistic work. She was also exposed to rock music and started to learn to play drums in her spare time. The more she learned, the more her rebellious flame grew.
Wang Xiaofang's parents said that she didn't look like a girl when she played the drums. Good guy, they turned around and cut her long hair. It was shorter than the boys in the group. Now, she doesn't look like a girl even if she doesn't learn the drums.
These days, rebellious boys grow their hair long, and rebellious girls cut their hair short. All in all, vent your anger on your hair first, and then talk about anything else.
Just when the order came, Wang Xiaofang went to the Broadcasting Art Troupe to report with this thorny head, and by the way, she was nicknamed "thorny head".
Later, colleagues at the Broadcasting Art Troupe were shocked to realize that they should not say random things or use nicknames. Names are the shortest spells. Wang Xiaofang not only got tattoos on her hair, but also on other things.

Wang Xiaofang finished poking around and knocked on the door three times.
"Please come in!"
Wang Xiaofang pushed the door open and walked in. There was only a man with a beard and big glasses in the office. He had his head down reading a book, but when he heard her coming in, he raised his head and took a look at her.
"Hello, teacher!" Wang Xiaofang tentatively greeted him.
"Hello." Lao Hou nodded.
After greeting each other, the waiter asked Wang Xiaofang to sit down and started chatting. Wang Xiaofang was still reserved at first, but as soon as they talked about rock music, she became more energetic.
"I listened to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon... and also the Japanese Alie."
"Have you heard of alie?" Laohou adjusted his glasses.
"There is a band called Aris that specializes in covering Japanese songs. I am familiar with them and heard it from them." Wang Xiaofang raised her eyebrows slightly and unconsciously showed a somewhat proud expression.
These days, the biggest shortage of bands in Beijing is drummers. Wang Xiaofang can play the drums, which makes her very happy among the band members. Several bands are staring at her, trying to get her involved, but she
I'm a little excited, but I haven't decided which band to join.
When I saw this little expression, I was a little happy.
Wang Xiaofang continued, "Not only Alie, I also know that there is a guy in Japan named Offue... The Japanese are really weird. They even name their bands with English names."
"Okay." Lao Hou quickly interrupted her and brought up the business, "A few Japanese comrades came here with letters of introduction, saying that they were holding a music festival in Tokyo and came to our place to choose some lesbians who can sing rock music.
go singing."
Lao Hou asked her, "Do you want to try it?"
Wang Xiaofang was stunned. It was true that she liked rock music, but should she sing it by herself or for the Japanese?
"Okay! Just give it a try!" The girl really didn't show any timidity.
…
Although the overall situation of the music festival has been almost decided, only in terms of the invited lineup, the local ones are ready. For the overseas lineup, AE helps communicate with the European and American sides, but it is Rabbit Country that Shinichi Iwahashi specifically mentioned.
No way to start.35xs
So far, the Rabbit Country entertainment market has appeared to foreigners as a desert. How could Iwahashi Shinichi suggest searching for ungerminated seeds in this desert?
Things are stuck here, I have to either continue with my stubbornness, or give up inviting the singer from Rabbit Country.
Naturally, the simple mode is to give up directly. The rock music of the Rabbit Country itself has no influence, and women's rock is unheard of. Even if musicians from the Rabbit Country are invited to the stage, it will not add any attention to the music festival.
However, after planning and giving up, it was obviously not Shinichi Iwahashi's style.
It would be a shoddy approach to just ignore Rabbit Country because it doesn’t have any good rock music right now.
In Shinichi Iwahashi's opinion, Rabbit Country Rockers are born with shackles on them. Those shackles came with the birth of Rabbit Country Rock. These shackles cannot be taken off. They are part of Rabbit Country Rock.
The shackles restrict many things, but the fact that you have to do rock and roll while wearing shackles is very rock and roll in itself. When the rockers from the Rabbit Country dance, the jingling sound made when the shackles collide can become an accompaniment
.
The more you dance under the sword, the better you become.
Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi never believed that the rock music of the Rabbit Country was "unusable". Instead, he believed that the rock music of the Rabbit Country had their own unique charm.
With his efforts, Watanabe created two people, one each from Warner Pioneer and AE, and went to Rabbit Country to select candidates.
Watanabe Productions sent the backbone of the company, and Warner Vanguard sent Hiroshi Nakajima, the staff member who followed Chen Meiling to the capital of Rabbit Country last year to participate in the Soong Ching Ling Foundation benefit performance.
In 1976, Chen Meiling quit the music scene because she wanted to go abroad to study in college. After graduating from college, people from Watanabe Productions found her again and signed her back.
After quitting the music scene for several years, the Japanese entertainment industry was changing so quickly. When she came back, her position was no longer there. From this period, Chen Meiling began to focus on international work in addition to being a singer, especially
She is passionate about charity. The more she is like this, the more her popularity picks up and she becomes famous again.
Her manager Jin Jinli was indispensable in helping her develop this route. Then, the manager who was indispensable was in bringing his singer home as his wife just last year.
Look at the grass gnawing around the nest.
It is a taboo in the industry for a manager to marry his own artist, which is against professional ethics. From the outside world, if the manager can develop a relationship with the artist that goes beyond work, fans will have a sense of distrust towards the artist.
For example, if you go to a restaurant to eat and find that the cook will fry and taste while cooking, can you still eat it? Even if you can eat it, can you not help but think in your heart, what you are eating now
Has this been tasted by the cook?
But even so, ever since the system of the entertainment industry was established, it is inevitable that artists who have been taken advantage of by others will fall in love over time, especially for female artists. Her managers will surround her every day and put her first.
One person advises her, and it would be even more dangerous if the other person happens to have some qualities such as gentleness.
In addition, another important reason is that Japanese women have a high probability of returning to their families after marriage.
If a female artist marries a male star in the same industry, or is an outsider in some career, there is a high probability that she will retire. Even if she does not quit completely, her exposure will gradually decrease. For female artists with strong ambitions, this is obviously different from their own.
Their outlook on life is inconsistent.
If your agent is a like-minded partner with you, and if you marry the agent, the situation will be much better. Therefore, even though you know it is a taboo, there are still endless incidents of chewing on the edges of your nest.
It is difficult for people who go to restaurants to enter the kitchen, so unless they are exposed, almost no guests will know that the cook is cooking and tasting. The same is true for falling in love with an agent. Unless a decisive photo is taken by a magazine, otherwise
No one outside will know, but often, it is difficult for two people who can fall in love nearby to take decisive photos.
Therefore, if you fall in love with an agent, it will either end silently before you are discovered, or when you are not prepared, Pia will throw out a marriage announcement and let you know that the dish you ordered was eaten by the chef.
It's over. By then it will be too late.
Money back!
That's impossible. Have you ever seen a monkey get a banana out of its hand?
But as a "sacrifice", in this case, the agent will often choose to resign to calm the anger of the firm.
Chen Meiling was no exception. As their engagement was agreed, they both quit the office and opened a mom-and-pop shop. Otherwise, Shinichi Iwahashi might still be able to see her in the office.
However, even though she left Watanabe Productions, her record contract is still with Warner Vanguard, so it is so amazing that her staff at the record company are still working for Watanabe Productions.
The "circle" characteristics of the entertainment industry are clearly revealed here.
As for the staff of AE, they had nothing to do here. It was the president Yokichi Ohato, who was also somewhat interested in the mysterious entertainment market of Rabbit Country, and took the initiative to send a staff member to help.
Watanabe Productions is happy to have friendly exchanges with AE, and there is no reason to disagree.
Shinichi Iwahashi was the one who proposed to invite singers from the Rabbit Country for exchanges. However, this time he was not sent to the Rabbit Country for a business trip to personally select the singers. As the backbone of the music festival, he cannot be left behind anywhere now.
Therefore, he only knew from the staff who came back from the business trip to report on the affairs. After receiving the letters of introduction, they followed the guide around and went to places where bands performed.
During this period, I was also allowed to go to the art troupe to select talents, but the bosses of the art troupe were not only not interested in rock music, but also a bit taboo. In the end, with the support of a certain composer named Hou and the deputy director of the art troupe, Wang Xiaofang was selected.
Xiao Nan and four others.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn't recognize any of the people on the selected list, so he just glanced at them.
Although the people have been selected, it is not easy to come out of the Rabbit Country these days. In addition, they are out to perform, which is different from personal activities such as studying abroad. Several girls also work in the troupe, and some
