After escaping from the back door of the hot pot restaurant, Li Qing and Lin Xiang discussed and abandoned the car at the front door. After bidding farewell to Boss Chu, the two of them headed straight towards the less crowded street.
A few minutes later, a group of reporters yelled and expressed annoyance from behind.
"He ran so fast! He even took the back door!"
"These stars are so cunning!"
"But I got a picture of their backs, so I made a profit!"
"Brother, how about taking some photos? How about sharing them together? Price is not an issue!"
"Li Qing and Lin Xiang are dating in private. This is big news. Do you want to share it together? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Tomorrow's headline will definitely be the news that Li Qing won the "Music Star" championship. Not many people paid attention to your news! And you might want to stab Lou! A few days ago, it was reported that Li Qing was dating a beautiful female assistant.
Well, do you think anyone still dares to expose it now?"
"Pull them down, I exposed Li Qing and Lin Xiang, not the female assistant with a cool background!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Your editor-in-chief doesn't know anyway. Just make a price and we'll share it together!"
While a group of reporters were arguing over a few photos, Li Qing took Lin Xiang back to his apartment.
"Are you going to stay here for one night?"
Li Qing asked while opening the door in the bedroom.
"I do think that with you as my little hottie by my side, I'll be able to make money from the scandal! But... I have a flight tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
Lin Xiang smiled and said with a helpless smile, "I'll borrow your phone number and my agent will pick it up later."
"That's okay too!"
Li Qing shrugged, and while Lin Xiang was on the phone, he made two cups of hot tea and put them on the tea table.
After Lin Xiang finished the phone call, the two of them sat face to face on the sofa. The atmosphere of being alone between men and women was a bit strange.
Although Lin Xiang looked to be in his early twenties, he was actually about thirty years old. Although he was amazed by Li Qing's handsomeness, he had no unnecessary thoughts.
However, the relationship between the two is not yet familiar enough to be alone together, so sitting face to face at this time is still a bit awkward.
Lin Xiang thought about what he was going to say next, and unconsciously picked up the teacup.
In order to break the weird atmosphere, before Lin Xiang could speak first, Li Qing asked: "Sister Xiang, what did Director Xie ask you to tell me about?"
Lin Xiang picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, savoring the mellow fragrance lingering in his mouth. His eyes couldn't help but light up. This...is this Dahongpao?
This guy doesn’t seem to be short of money!
Lin Xiang muttered something. He was quickly calculating the next words in his heart...
In fact, how did she know that this was the tea left by Han Han...
And Li Qing didn't understand tea at all. He didn't know that the jar of tea left by Han Han was the famous No. 1 tea in the world - Dahongpao!
He just felt that the tea had a long-lasting aroma and tasted different...
Just making two cups of tea costs a thousand dollars!
If Li Qing had known that this was the Dahongpao, given his stingy character, he would have treasured it long ago and burned incense and worshiped it...
After Lin Xiang sighed at the tea leaves, he said solemnly: "That's it. I came to the capital today. First, I followed the leader to participate in the ********** organized by the Ministry of Culture. Second, it was just for you.
things."
Li Qing looked at Lin Xiang quietly, waiting for her to continue.
"After next spring, our Hunan Satellite TV will hold a large-scale singer talent show..."
Lin Xiang was always observing Li Qing's expression. Seeing Li Qing's frown, he hurriedly said: "Don't refuse yet, listen to what I have to say."
"Our program is called "Superstar". Although it is also a singing talent show, what is different from "Music Star" is that this is a national talent show, and it is a true battlefield for creating superstars!
In the audition stage, we will set up six major singing areas across the country, namely Rongcheng, Donghai, Guangdong, Xingcheng, Jingcheng, and Chang'an. The contestants who break through the audition will be selected in each major singing area.
Officially join the competition for next year's "Superstar" promotion competition."
"We expect that three to five contestants from each singing area will be successfully promoted, and the final situation will depend on the number of breakout contestants. They will compete with each major singing area for official rankings during the prime time period of Xiangnan Satellite TV every week.
Accept the national popularity test and eventually the top 30 and top 10 in the country will be selected!"
"As for the championship bonus..."
Lin Xiang looked at Li Qing and said with a smile: "This is kept secret first... It must be much better than "Music Star". If we finally sign a contract with our Taiwanese economic company, we promise to give the winner to the winner after the competition."
Tailor-made a platinum album! And as long as they break through the audition, each contestant will receive a performance fee of 1,000 yuan provided by our station for each "Superstar" recording, and then the appearance fees for the top ten will be doubled.
, the appearance fee for the top three will be increased six times!”
Li Qing was really moved when he heard this.
This is much more generous than "Music Star"!
However, now that the constraints of his contract have been released, if you want him to go to the talent show and work hard, to be honest, he is still a little unwilling in his heart.
In his plan, after the sales share of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" is settled, he is going to officially open the studio, then select a few classic songs, find Ma Xuyi or other companies to obtain venture capital, and release them
's first album.
Or, you can raise your own money and release an ep single first!
Although there is no distribution channel, he can choose to cooperate with other companies!
For example, COSCO Pictures, Starlight, and Warner!
Li Qing himself knows quite well how high the quality of his album is.
Coupled with the success of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom", he is confident that these record companies with distribution capabilities will be interested!
So, I can release records independently, why do I have to go to talent shows to do thankless things?
Li Qing thought about it slowly.
If your guess is right, after experiencing the excitement of this year's "Music Star"'s super high ratings, next year will be the climax of the talent show's explosion.
In addition to Hunan Satellite TV's "Superstar", combined with the words of Meng Lianqiu from Donghai TV whom I just met in the lounge, Donghai TV will probably take action in this regard next year.
Although various talent shows have flourished, the rules of survival of the fittest have not changed at all.
If they knew that the giant Xiangnan Satellite TV would also be participating, and that it would be a nationwide audition, trying to catch all the country's outstanding singers, I'm afraid many satellite TV stations would give up the idea of holding a talent show.
No one can think that they can compare with Shonan Satellite TV.
As the first satellite TV under CCTV, the ratings of Xiangnan Satellite TV almost crush all other satellite TVs.
Even Donghai Satellite TV, whose ratings have been getting better and better in recent years, is not profitable.
Competing with the tiger for food is just asking for death!
But nowadays, Li Qing already looks down on these talent shows.
He wants to go it alone!
Even though Lin Xiang persuaded him repeatedly, his mind did not waver at all.
Especially after learning that "Superstar" will select outstanding contestants from the six major singing areas, they will conduct professional training under the tracking of cameras, and produce a variety show for broadcast, Li Qing became even more reluctant!
That's such a waste of time!
There will be cameras following him every day, which will put Li Qing under a lot of psychological pressure.
Therefore, after waiting for the agent's car, Lin Xiang finally left disappointed.
Li Qing was not idle either. After sending Lin Xiang away, he opened the refrigerator and hastily heated up dinner.
After eating, he went back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and continued writing "Looking for Qin".
If the situation is good, "Looking for Qin" will be completed in a month or two!
Someone from the Hong Kong Cultural Publishing Company also called him not long ago to inform him that the first three volumes of "Looking for Qin" with a total of 200,000 words have almost been printed.
On the first day of the new year, they will put the first three volumes of the traditional Chinese version of "Xun Qin Ji" on the sales shelves of major bookstores in Hong Kong!
The first printing was half a million copies!
This number is definitely at the level of a first-line writer!
This also makes Li Qing quite excited. What does this mean?
It means that his 10% royalties will be paid soon!
With such passion, after Li Qing stayed up late and wrote 20,000 words, he finally couldn't bear the surging fatigue in his body. He couldn't even open his eyelids and didn't even have time to close the computer. He lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
past.
The computer screen in the bedroom was flashing with bright white light.
In a distant dream, Li Qing dreamed of the girl who had always been by his side, and she... came back again.
Waves of singing came to my ears, "Is happiness too light and too heavy..." (To be continued.)
