Early Monday morning, when the fight among office workers begins.
Wang Jiashi was like a berserker charging into battle, taking heavy and powerful steps, rushing into the elevator before many competitors, and firmly occupying the best position in the middle near the door.
The poor elevator car trembled under the pressure of his weight of over 100kg, and the steel cables suspended above made a crunching sound, but it finally managed to withstand the difficult test.
It's just that the other people in the elevator were a little frightened and had some bad associations.
As soon as the white-collar man who was one step behind stepped in, the overload buzzer suddenly sounded!
Under everyone's cold gaze, he could only retreat and stare at Wang Jiashi with infinite resentment.
If this guy wasn't here, at least two people like him could squeeze in!
Wang Jiashi had already developed a face with a defense of +10, completely ignoring the glare and waiting for the elevator door to close.
After reaching the 10th floor, he was the first one to rush out.
When Wang Jiashi rushed into the company to punch in, the LCD clock hanging on the punch-in machine showed exactly 9 o'clock.
On his first day back from vacation, he was not late!
Fatty Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death.
Six months ago, the company he worked for, Xintianyi, changed its major shareholder, and the new CEO took over with three goals. He formulated very strict rules and regulations. If he was late once, his attendance bonus would be deducted, and if he was late twice, his performance bonus for the month would be deducted.
Wang Jiashi is obese and loves to sleep, and his biological clock did not adjust in time after half a month of vacation, so he overslept and almost was late. Fortunately, he was stuck and successfully swiped his card.
"Old Wang, are you back?"
"Brother Wang, is Phuket fun? You look tanned."
"Editor Wang, I have placed your worksheet on your desk. Two pieces of printing paper."
"Meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon..."
Colleagues arrived early, they all started working, and they all greeted Wang Jiashi when they saw him.
The 32-year-old Wang Jiashi is also considered a veteran employee of Xintianyi. He has a good personality and has real talents and learning, so he has a good rapport among his colleagues.
But during working hours, his colleagues only exchanged pleasantries with him. In the past, they might have gathered around him to ask him how he was doing, whether he had any romantic encounters, and where were the gifts for everyone?
Wang Jiashi answered a few words with a smile. He did not distribute the small gifts in the handbags, and got into his office before the boss appeared.
This office of about 5 square meters can barely accommodate a small computer desk, so all the available space is used. The bookcases are fixed on the wall and filled with various books.
Although the place is cramped and small, Wang Jiashi is already very satisfied.
Because as long as the door is closed, this is his independent world, and he can light up a cigarette without any problem. This is the company's special care for him, a senior employee and a long-time smoker.
Wang Jiashi is the editor of "Popular Color", a subsidiary of Xintianyi Company. "Popular Color" is a new media online magazine. The apps developed by the company have always ranked among the top three in the market share of similar software in the field of smartphones, so they are in the industry.
It's quite famous. The advertising revenue is pretty good.
"Fashion Colors" focuses on international and domestic fashion trends. It covers fashion elements such as movies, TV, music, and popular brands. The target group is mainly young people in cities.
Wang Jiashi is the editor of the popular music section. He has been engaged in the same job for ten years. His pen name "Stone Man" is well-known in the circle, and his music review articles often appear on the homepage.
Opening the window for ventilation, Wang Jiashi lit a Lanzhou cigarette out of habit, held the mouse in his right hand and skillfully opened the browser, and logged in to the official website of the Chinese original music rankings.
He wants to see the song rankings in recent weeks.
As a result, as soon as the web page was opened, Wang Jiashi saw "In Spring" at the top of the list!
The title of this song is somewhat memorable to Wang Jiashi. I remember it was on the charts before he went on vacation, but it was at the bottom of the charts and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
In just over half a month, it shot to the top of the list?
Wang Jiashi felt a little incredible. You must know that the singer Wandering Band is unknown in the pop music world and has never heard of it before. How can their new works spread so fast?
There must be something fishy about this!
Wang Jiashi bit the filter of his cigarette and turned to the rankings of the previous week.
"In Spring" is still at the top of the list!
This immediately aroused Wang Jiashi's strong interest. If there is an element of luck in being ranked first in a week, then the continuous domination of the charts must be a factor of strength. Although the fairness of the original music charts in the past two years has often been questioned, in China at present
, there is no more authoritative list than it.
He clicked on the Youshi.com link behind "In Spring".
The partners of the China Original Music Ranking include Feixun Music, Yiwang Music, Pop Radio, YouTV and other new online media, so the songs on the list have corresponding URL links.
The links on UTV are all MVs, so they are more enjoyable to watch.
He clicked on a video page titled [New Power of Rock and Roll, Wandering in Spring].
This video was uploaded more than a month ago and has received over 1.7 billion views!
Such an astonishing number of clicks made Wang Jiashi couldn't help but shake his head.
Today's new Internet media likes to make a big fuss about data. One click can turn into ten or even a hundred, and it is so water-filled that it leaves people speechless. It is not just Youshi.com, Feixun Music and Yiwang Music.
Streaming is no exception, with tens of millions of clicks or page views at every turn. Big data is used to increase advertising value.
In addition, there are endless means of hype and promotion by using rankings and adding points, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
This somewhat ruined Wang Jiashi's mood for listening to music, and he clicked the play button half-heartedly.
After the 15-second commercial, the mv starts.
Soon, a hoarse, powerful song began to echo in the small room.
"I still remember the spring many years ago. At that time, I had not cut off my long hair, I did not have a credit card or her, and I did not have a home with 24-hour hot water."
"But I was so happy back then, even though I only had a broken acoustic guitar, singing songs that no one cared about on the streets, under bridges, and in the fields!..."
5 minutes passed and the mv playback ended.
Wang Jiashi sat back in a chair in a daze, the cigarette in his mouth was almost burnt out, and half of the ash fell on him without even realizing it. His eyes showed a complex expression of being deeply shocked.
How come he hadn't heard such a song until now?
His lips moved a few times, and Wang Jiashi felt that he wanted to say something, and there was a kind of passion surging in his chest.
As a result, before the words came out, the cigarette fell from his mouth.
It fell right on his crotch!
"Fuck!"
A hole was immediately burned in his thin shorts, which almost burned his vital parts. Wang Jiashi suddenly woke up, jumped up suddenly, and hit his thigh heavily under the keyboard tray.
I almost overturned the computer desk.
Wang Jiashi really wanted to cry, so he quickly reached out and patted away the cigarette butts still stuck to his shorts.
After a while of fussing, he sat down again.
The music video has finished playing, and it is still a little short of causing a human tragedy, but Wang Jiashi's feelings have not been disturbed by this, and his mood is still agitated.
After living in the capital for ten years, this megacity is still unfamiliar to him. The passion and ideals he once had have long since passed away with time, and he is just struggling to survive.
Wang Jiashi does not have a house in Beijing because he cannot afford it;
He also has no girlfriend, because no good girl likes him;
The most luxurious thing he has ever experienced in his life is the half-month vacation he just spent abroad!
Now listening to the song "In Spring" and watching the story of joys and sorrows in the music video, Wang Jiashi discovered that the strength he thought he had was actually vulnerable.
He was deeply moved and moved!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Jiashi rubbed his sore eyes and lit another cigarette.
Wang Jiashi is going to write an article about this song and put it in the music recommendation of the new issue of "Popular Color". Of course, he first needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the song, such as the singer, the Wandering Band, and the songwriter.
However, Wang Jiashi soon discovered an interesting thing, that is, the Wandering Band has a total of three songs on the list. In addition to "In the Spring" at the top of the list, "Strong Reasons" at No. 7 and "Strong Reasons" at No. 12
"I Want to Have a Family" was actually written by the same person.
Lu Chen!
Wang Jiashi is very unfamiliar with this name and is definitely not a well-known songwriter in the industry.
Ordinary listeners usually don't care much about the author of the song. Just like when ordering food in a restaurant, everyone thinks a dish is delicious, so it is enough to remember the name of the dish and the name of the restaurant, and they will not ask who the chef is.
who.
But Wang Jiashi is not an ordinary person.
As the editor of the music section of "Popular Color", he is more interested in the stories hidden behind the songs. In addition to the singer Wandering Band, he also has a strong desire to explore the author Lu Chen.
What kind of person could write such an outstanding rock novel?
In Wang Jiashi's mind, a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes and firm eyes was constructed.
He wandered all over the world, he went through hardships, and he failed to find his talents. He held his guitar and sang loudly in the wind, "If one day, I leave quietly, please bury me in this spring!"
Wang Jiashi typed in the browser search bar: spring + Lu Chen.
Press Enter to confirm, and the search engine immediately searches out a large amount of relevant or irrelevant information.
The first one among them was a post in the Sky Forum.
[The title of “The Strongest Singer-Composer” is not worthy of the name, let’s find out the inside story about the elimination of Lu Chen, the author of “In Spring”!]
