Chief Player of Film and Television World

After completing sending Wang Duoyu and Zhuang Qiang to the club, and securing the signings of Amang and Dachun, Zhang Jin did not stay in the club any longer, but drove back to the villa.

Now he basically lives in a villa. He doesn't go back to the old house very much anymore. He occasionally hires housekeeping to clean it. He only goes back to have dinner with his father when he comes back from overseas.

But he has already gone to college, so even if he doesn't live back home, he won't arouse his father's suspicion.

Being a sailor is actually dangerous and hard work. Zhang Jin also persuaded his father not to be a sailor. If he really can't stay idle, he can buy a store and open a convenience store for him. This way, it's close to home and easy. Anyway, he doesn't need it at home now.

Make money from him.

My father neither agreed nor objected. He just said that he would continue to be a seaman for a few more years and that when the old captain retired, he would resign.

Zhang Jin learned from the background memory provided by the system that his father had served in the military, and that the old captain was his squad leader and had saved his life during a disaster relief operation. Therefore, this man who valued love and righteousness was once again affected by his father after retiring.

When called by the squad leader, he entrusted the child, who was under one year old, to the care of his parents, and resolutely joined the ranks of seafarers on ocean-going ships, working there for more than ten years.

Zhang Jin didn't say much. Since his father had his own plans, he respected his father's choice.

After spending New Year's Day at home with his father, Zhang Jin returned to school, and his father also embarked on a journey to sea again after two months of rest.

This flight is relatively short and we should be able to come back before the Spring Festival.

For Zhang Jin, the relatively dull 1999 years have just passed.

The millennium has arrived with the expectation of all mankind. There is no end of the world, the millennium bug has been solved, and the world is still running smoothly, just like usual.

After New Year's Day, all students have to face the final exam.

The horror level is comparable to eating instant noodles without seasoning packets, going to the toilet without toilet paper, and playing with mobile phones without Internet!

The final exams at the School of Art include instrumental music, music theory, music knowledge and composition theory.

Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya passed the exams easily in their respective majors.

“I almost made a mistake when I played Liszt’s etudes in this exam, but luckily I came around in time.”

On campus in January, there were dead branches on both sides of the road. Qiu Ya, who was wearing a white down jacket and a light-colored scarf, held Zhang Jin's arm and made a cute and happy face.

"Really, I didn't even catch it, and the teacher who took the assessment didn't seem to catch it either," Zhang Jin said with a smile.

Qiu Ya said: "How could you not hear it? Didn't you hear that the teachers said that I have excellent professional skills? Being able to turn shortcomings into advantages means that they know where I made mistakes."

"That's pretty awesome. Even if you play wrong, you can still get first place in the class."

"Hehe, right!" Qiu Ya couldn't hide the joy on her face, not because she won the first place, but because she found that she had made great progress.

In the exam, she was not the most flawless player. There were several classmates who made no mistakes when playing and played a whole piece of music perfectly. However, the scores of these students were not as high as hers, and even higher than those of several students.

Students who made one or two mistakes in their playing were even worse.

This also shows that the most important thing about music is to impress people. Mechanical repetition can only ensure that you will not be scolded, but will not be appreciated!

Qiu Ya looked up at the long-lost sunshine in the sky, feeling the warmth in the cold, and said in an expectant tone: "I am probably capable now. I can play those two pieces of music seriously to express my best emotions. You said

Let’s find a time to record those two songs sometime.”

"Whenever you say, you decide the date, but this time I hope you can record a piano album, including a total of ten songs." Zhang Jin said.

"What, there are ten more songs to be recorded for the album?" Qiu Ya looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Jin smiled and nodded: "Well, yes, including the piano versions of Missing You, May Be, Love Me and other popular songs. This is your first pure music piano album. I hope we can work together.

Get it right.”

Facing his gaze, Qiu Ya did not hesitate as before, but nodded vigorously, clenched her fists, and said with great determination: "I will work hard to perfectly present the beauty of every piece of music. Twenty

At the age of 10, I want to use my performance to knock on the door to a better future!"

"Very good, this is the ambition and confidence that young Steinway artists in the future should have."

"By the way, what do you think my first album should be called?"

Zhang Jin raised his hand to hold her little fist and said with a smile: "What do you think of the name "First Love"?"

"Ah!?" Qiu Ya felt the comfortable warmth of the other person's palm coming from her hand, and a picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

On the sunny lawn, the boy nervously confessed his love to the girl who made his heart beat. The girl turned around, with uncontrollable joy on her face, but she replied with an ambiguous word very proudly.

"do you...love me?"

"may be."

Thinking of this, Qiu Ya couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, so cute and interesting!"

"???" Zhang Jin had a black question mark on his face. He could feel that what the other person said was not referring to the name of the album.

Sometimes he is also speechless. A girl's thoughts are too easy to associate and go astray. Even if she is talking about something, her thoughts may have already been associated with other places, and the brain waves of both parties may not be on the same channel at all.

superior.

Therefore, sometimes you are having a good conversation and don't be surprised if you find that your girlfriend suddenly becomes happy or angry. This is their normal reaction.

So guys, don’t ask why you often take the blame for something inexplicable. Who makes you unable to keep up with your girlfriend’s thinking and logic?

"It's okay, I think your suggestion is very good. Let's call the album title First Love." Qiu Ya smiled even happier than before, "By the way, I just said that I would record piano versions of other popular songs. What do you plan to choose?"

A popular song, can I participate?”

"Of course." Zhang Jin said.

He already had his own ideas about song selection, and the first singer he targeted was Ms. Liang from Malaysia.

The second Mandarin album was released in August of 2000. Ms. Liang was just a newcomer at this time. It would not cost much to get exclusive piano versions of her album songs, but the effect was amazing.

Miss Liang, known as the queen of love songs, interprets her famous songs with the unique and beautiful and delicate timbre of the piano. It is warm and healing, sweet and sour, and lingering. That is what love should be like.

He has thought about it. In addition to his first album "First Love", there will be two more albums to form a love trilogy, namely "Love Letter" and "Vow".

Of course, Miss Liang alone is not enough. Zhang Jin also plans to include several well-known songs by Miss Sun from Singapore and Miss Zhou from Taiwan.

Don't let go of songs like "Promise", "Don't Want You to Know", "Wind Chimes", "Meet" and the like!

In fact, he has quite a few famous piano pieces written down, but when separated into each album, they are not enough. Not all piano pieces exactly meet the temperament requirements of each album.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Qiu Ya happily took him and continued walking towards the school gate, preparing to take the car back to the villa to rest.

Only teachers were allowed to park on campus, and outside vehicles could only be parked outside. Moreover, no one expected students to drive to school. In this era, there were not as many wealthy students as there would be in later generations.

The conversation between the two quickly turned from album preparations to Charlotte's "Fantasy Space" released last year. It became an instant hit as soon as it was released. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and exceeded one million in two months.

It was so red that it turned purple, so purple it turned blue, and so blue it smoked!

All the media are reporting that this person has reached the pinnacle of the industry with her first album, setting a record that most of her fellow singers cannot achieve, and her results are as close as those of the kings and queens of the music industry.

What Charlotte copied was the man who represented the times. The hit songs in the two albums were combined. If you take it alone, you can produce several albums for other singers. He put them all in one album, which is not popular.

That's really what the hell happened!

"I heard that after Charlotte finished recording her first album, she started preparing for her second album not long after. He was responsible for the lyrics and music all by himself. With such an amazing creation speed, he is indeed very talented. He is probably the best in our class.

Okay." Qiu Ya said with emotion.

"Currently, I am doing the best, but I believe that others will not be worse, at least you will not be worse than him." Zhang Jin said.

"That's because I have your support, and your talent is no worse than Charlotte."

Qiu Ya smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder. She suddenly saw the figure of a running girl in front of her. She couldn't help but think of a person in her mind, so she asked curiously.

"Zhang Jin, I remember you said that you contacted Ma Dongmei to study abroad. How is she doing recently?"

"Why do you suddenly care about her?"

"Oh! I just suddenly became curious. I sat with her for a year when I was in my senior year of high school. I found that apart from being unable to keep up with her studies, she was actually quite nice, carefree, and at the same time a little considerate, so I agreed to give it to her.

Pursue Charlotte for advice.

As a result, she went out for further study right after graduation and never came back. It is said that she was absent from last year's class reunion. I really want to know how she is doing recently, is her studies going well, and is she living well in a foreign country?"

As Qiu Ya spoke, she suddenly felt a little sentimental. After going to college, she had been running unremittingly for her dreams. Although every day was fulfilling and happy, when she suddenly stopped and looked back at a certain moment, she found that she had been running for the dream all the time.

Not only did I gain a lot, but I also lost a lot.

For more than a year, she has been with the piano, either playing the piano or on the way to play the piano. She has almost no time to participate in social activities. If Zhang Jin hadn't been by her side, she felt that she might not be able to follow the piano normally.

People communicated.

When she was in high school, she was a popular girl and a popular figure in the school. Interpersonal communication had always been something she was good at. But in order to improve her piano playing, her interpersonal skills seemed to be declining.

After a moment of negative hesitation, Qiu Ya quickly cheered up. In this world, there are gains and losses. It is impossible to have everything, maybe only in dreams.

For the sake of your dreams, don’t lose some less important things!

Zhang Jin, who was standing aside, looked at the expression on Qiu Ya's face that suddenly fell down and suddenly felt uplifted. He felt baffled in his heart. People who engage in art must have such rich and sentimental hearts.

The two drove back to the villa in Mid-Levels Manor.

Qiu Ya ran to take a bath first, to wash away all the stress and fatigue accumulated during the day of exams.

Zhang Jin originally wanted to join us, but was interrupted by a burst of ringing on his cell phone. After he had no choice but to answer the call, he found that it was Mr. Lai calling.

"Mr. Zhang, it's me. Didn't you ask me to communicate with the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards before? I used a relationship to talk to their person in charge, and they agreed to let Miss Qiu perform a song on stage at the Golden Melody Awards.

, but the time shall not exceed five minutes.”

"Where is the time and place?" Once Zhang Jin heard that what he brought was good news, he no longer blamed the other party for ruining his good deeds.

"The time is February 28th, starting at seven o'clock in the evening, and the location is the Magic City."

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, as it should be, it's just a matter of being loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jin told Qiu Ya the good news, and there was a burst of surprise shouts from the bathroom!

"It's great that I can actually perform on stage at the Golden Melody Awards! I have seen this award with my mother since I was a child, and I must tell her about it!"

What they are going to participate in is the 23rd Golden Melody Awards, which are usually awarded within the first month after the Chinese New Year to select outstanding songs, singers, etc. in the Chinese music scene of the previous year.

In 1998, Charlotte won two awards at the 21st Golden Melody Awards: Most Potential Newcomer and Best Original Song.

Although Charlotte didn't have time to release her first album in 1998, she still won the Golden Melody Award for Best Original Song again with her single "The One I Love".

And in 1999, Charlotte, who officially released her first album and whose sales quickly reached platinum records, will definitely become the darling of the 23rd Golden Melody Awards.

The three of them were afraid that they would run into each other at the Golden Melody Awards.

According to Xia Luo's character, Zhang Jin knew without guessing that as long as the other party saw Qiu Ya, something would happen on the spot, and he might even pursue Qiu Ya on the scene.

Zhang Jin can't stop Xia Luo from doing things, but he won't let him do things. If he wants to pursue Qiu Ya, he must first pass his own level!

The year 2000 was a relatively important year for Zhang Jin.

During this year, he will help Qiu Ya record her first album. At the same time, in March, the Daxiang team will officially start their first match in the C-League. He will also ask Mr. Yin and Mr. Lai to contact Xiao Ma Ge to invest in Penguin and Yumede to purchase "Legend"

》.

In addition to these domestic plans, Zhang Jin has not forgotten the two potential foreign stocks - Apple and Google. They are almost every time traveler or reborn person a must-have investment value-added stock.

Why is it said to be a sacred stock? Because you don’t need to know much about financial stocks, you just need to buy, buy, buy, and then wait for appreciation. This is good news for all novices or lazy people.

After experiencing the trough of the 1990s, Apple welcomed back Joe as its boss in 1997, and in 2001 achieved great success with its digital music player, starting its road to revival and reaching the top.

Google was founded in 1998 and launched the Google search website in 1999. Although it was officially listed on the American Stock Exchange in August 2004, this did not prevent Zhang Jin from making venture capital investment in it.

In addition to these two, Zhang Jin also invested in Yahoo stocks while studying abroad. Although Yahoo had been listed for three years and entered a period of vigorous growth, the return on investment was not that great. But before the Internet bubble subsided, he still

Can make a small profit.

Beginning in 2000, the Internet bubble in the United States reached its peak and began to burst on March 10.

The Nasdaq index of the entire Internet industry plummeted wildly, and high-tech leaders Cisco, Microsoft and Dell also suffered considerable losses, not to mention ordinary Internet companies.

This year alone, countless Internet companies went bankrupt, and countless venture capital companies suffered heavy losses.

During the Internet bubble, approximately US$5 trillion in market value of technology companies was wiped out, and investors lost confidence and enthusiasm for investing in Internet companies. This gave Zhang Jin an opportunity!
