Perfect Life

"Artists Weekly" editorial room.

Zheng Guochang held the photo that had just been developed and frowned.

As he expected, the photo was of He Runqing, but it was only a side view of the back, only showing a small half of his face. Instead, it was the man with a big smile, occupying the center of the whole photo.

As for the second one, well, that's a woman's hand, and street fortune-telling is useful.

He was very worried, he had already been discovered by He Runqing, and he could not follow him in the follow-up, but the other party must have been on guard, and it would not be easy to get some top-secret photos and news in advance.

As for the photo taken at the moment, even if it is cropped and the background and background of everyone except He Runqing and the man are removed, and then used again, there is really no gimmick to explode.

Both of them were standing, neither holding hands nor nothing, it was really not good to be crooked.

Simply put, a piece of junk.

He wanted to throw the photo directly into the shredder, but after hesitating, he sighed and put it away.

Just at this time, I don't know who shouted, "Entertainment version, come here quickly, urgent task." Many people in the editing room looked up and asked, "What's the matter? What task?"

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and ran out and replied, "Zhou Ai is coming back, signing a contract with Sony, and a press conference in the afternoon."

It was quiet for about a second, and then, with a swipe, the editing room immediately exploded.

"It's been almost a year. Since before the Spring Festival, there have been speculations about making a comeback and making a comeback, but there has been no movement. It seems that this time it is going to be real?"

During the discussion, several people stood up and were about to run to the director's office. It seemed that they were all ready to grab this mission. Everyone knows that Zhou Ai's comeback is such a big news. As soon as it comes out, it is designated to make headlines. . Toutiao means that the bonus is very high! What's more, it's a press conference. In the past, I just waited for the news to come out, and it didn't take much effort at all.

Zheng Guochang hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to pinch the cigarette and stand up, but in the end. He still stopped.

Forget it, there are so many people grabbing news on the side of the road, so don't join in the fun, even if you grab it, you will offend people.

Finish a cigarette. After snuffing out the **** of the cigarette, he looked at the photo in his hand, racking his brains to figure out how to make it work—

Secret meeting lover?

If it's true, it's really breaking news, and it's not much weaker than the sensation of Zhou Hao's comeback, because in the past ten years, He Runqing has always been in the image of a beautiful girl, singing sweet songs, mainly relying on male fans to pay, Of course, it's not even a love story. And it is said that He Runqing himself has always been very clean.

It's just... a bit nonsense, this photo doesn't look like it at all.

So, are you reporting the opening of Li Qian's studio?

More nonsense!

After he came back and thought about it carefully, he had gradually understood who Li Qian was, and naturally he knew roughly why his studio opened, but so many heavyweights in the circle came to congratulate him.

However, it was useless.

When it comes to the behind-the-scenes personnel in the music industry, can anyone be bigger than Mr. Xie Jinshun? But Mr. Xie has been in charge of the domestic music scene for many years. How many times have you seen his own news hit the headlines? Not to mention the headlines on the front page, as far as Zheng Guochang's understanding is concerned, the old man has created countless classic songs in his life, and he has also grabbed a lot of superstars in one hand. But his own photo should not have appeared in the newspaper for decades.

Why?

Readers do not like to see, do not care.

Simply put, reporting what brand of cosmetics He Runqing is using is more attractive than the opening of Li Qian's studio.

So, okay...hesitating for a moment, he opens the document on the computer. In the first line, the title was written - "First public appearance after the termination of the contract, He Runqing chatted and laughed with friends".

Well, that's it, let's start editing!

At this time, before he could start writing the manuscript, he heard footsteps in the corridor outside, presumably someone had grabbed the good task of making headlines and hurried away.

He shook his head, smiled helplessly, and began to make up a story.

But at this time, Hu Lifu walked into the editing room and found Zheng Guochang who was sitting in front of the computer in the corner with just one glance, and then strode over to him, bent down, and whispered, "Guochang, I heard that Have you taken photos of the opening of Li Qian's studio?"

The two are very familiar and have complementary fields of work, so the relationship is very good. Zheng Guochang turned his head to look at him and picked up the photo on the table, "Hey, this is useless, I'm trying to make up a story for them!"

Hu Lifu took the photo and caught a glimpse of the smiling young man in the center of the photo. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "That's right, it's him!"

While speaking, he patted Zheng Guochang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Guochang, give me this photo, if I owe you a draft, don't make it up, I'll write the draft, I'll use this photo Now, come back and invite you to drink."

Zheng Guochang was worried, and immediately said, "No problem! A good drink, don't fool me with a bottle of Erguotou and a plate of peanut beans! At least you have to get a plate of pork head meat, right?"

Hu Lifu laughed when he heard the words, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, as long as my article is over, let alone the pork head, I will directly invite you to eat the roast leg of lamb, will it work?"

Zheng Guochang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he was immediately a little surprised. He grabbed the photo and stared at it several times, wondering: "It's not like you, so generous? Or... what's in this photo? The doorway I didn't see?"

Hu Lifu smiled when he heard the words, grabbed the photo first, and then said, "If you want to talk about doorways, of course there are, but it's not in the photo!" He pointed to his head and said, "It's all here!"

Zheng Guochang was even more stunned when he heard the words, frowned and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "Do you want to dig deeper into this Li Qian?"

Hu Lifu said with a smile: "What a good buddy!" He said with some emotion: "Since last summer, when Liao Liao first became popular, I started to follow him, but the information about him has always been very interesting. Young Master, I want to give him an exclusive interview, but the editor-in-chief doesn't approve, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this is the first photo of him I got!"

Zheng Guochang nodded subconsciously. But he said suspiciously: "Do you want to write a manuscript? Or..."

Hu Lifu said without hesitation: "Big manuscript, I want to ask the editor-in-chief for a page!"

Zheng Guochang was speechless when he heard the words, he grabbed the photo again in disbelief, and stared at the too young face in the photo for several seconds. Only then did he say, "He... what can he write about?"

Hu Lifu smiled and said: "What's there to write? Five songs made Liao Liao popular, and they were directly praised for the whole day. An album made Wuxing Wusu become popular, and then Huage crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he used Liao Liao's new song. The album turned the five elements to the ground. You think, such an awesome person, such an awesome thing, there is nothing to write about? Even if I edit it, I can compile a full page for him! What's more, You don't know yet, do you? This kid just entered freshman year this year, what a gimmick? I can't believe no one pays attention!"

Zheng Guochang nodded when he heard the words, and after a while, he shook his head again, and said, "This person, this thing. Of course it's awesome, but... I think, if you really write it, no one will like to read it! You say, don't think I'm throwing cold water on you, really, the editor-in-chief may not send it to you! If you want to tell me, you might as well just write that he is Liao Liao's boyfriend, then someone will love it!"

Hu Lifu paused when he heard the words, but still said with a smile: "Try it. I'll try it first, and then write the manuscript first. Our registration is called "Artist Weekly". We should focus on artists, but we really shouldn't. So many singers and actors looking for news..." While speaking. He shook his hand and returned to the photo in his hand, saying, "This is the person we should really pay attention to and report on! This is the artist!"

Zheng Guochang sneered and laughed, "Look, did you have a youthful illness again? Just wait for your manuscript to be executed. I tell you, if you write this manuscript like this, the editor-in-chief can make a version, and I don't need you. Please, I'll come over and invite you!"

Hu Lifu laughed a few times when he heard the words, as if he didn't know how to respond.

Zheng Guochang smiled again and said, "Remember what the editor-in-chief said? Good news is what readers love to read, and good news is what can increase sales! So, look, the front page of the next issue is set. , Zhou Ai is back! Are you capable of surpassing Zhou Ai?"

When Hu Lifu heard the words, he fell silent.

Sony Records Headquarters, Conference Room 1.

Surrounded by Sony Records general manager Watanabe Kazuichi, music director Xie Mingyuan and manager Zou Wenhuai, Zhou Ai walked in from the side door of the conference room, and there was a "click" camera sound in the room.

The flash suddenly turned on.

Today's Zhou Ai, white shirt, jeans, dressed very casually, but incomparably beautiful.

Before they could sit down on the rostrum, many reporters rushed to ask, "Miss Zhou, why did you suddenly choose to come back?"

"Miss Zhou, why did you choose to sign with Sony Records?"

Zhou Hao walked to the rostrum with a blank expression and sat down. On either side of her, were Watanabe and Yi and Xie Mingyuan, and Zou Wenhuai took a less conspicuous position next to her.

The host quickly announced the start of the press conference, and then Xie Mingyuan read the draft on behalf of Sony Records. There are almost no pure newcomers who are qualified to rush over to attend this press conference, and everyone is a veteran. They know how to write about this kind of thing.

Of course, people in the know can still hear what they are most concerned about. For example, Zhou Ai's brokerage contract has only been signed for two years, and the record contract is only 22. This means that Sony Records don't care about Zhou Ai's comeback. It's more pleasant to listen to, as if Zhou Hao will be invincible as soon as he comes out, but in fact, they are still very cautious - they only sign two albums. If Zhou Hao's development is good in the future, they can have two albums under the same conditions. In this way, it can be regarded as a relatively less bundled method for Sony and Zhou Ai.

Then, after the announcement was finished, the reporters raised their hands one after another without waiting for the host to remind them. They sat on the rostrum and looked over.

But at this time, the host had just announced that he had entered the questioning stage, and was about to ask someone to ask questions, but Zhou Ai suddenly picked up the microphone in front of him. Suddenly, the host stopped. All the reporters, except for a lot of people, took pictures. In addition, most of the people also put down their hands one after another, staring at Zhou Ai with bright eyes, wanting to hear about returning to the music world after a lapse of four years. What would her first words be.

At this time, Zhou Ai showed a smile for the first time and said, "Hi, everyone. Long time no see."

Ka Ka Ka!

The flash lights up again.

This is Zhou Ai, even if she announces her retirement from the music scene, she will make headlines several times a year, and as soon as she announces her comeback, she will immediately appear on all entertainment pages!

her voice. Her works, her character, are so unique and so distinct, they have become the most important highlight of the domestic music scene, the most topical, and the most popular among readers.

But at this time, in the face of so many flashes and so many cameras, she still just smiled shyly and said, "I know you all want to ask a lot, but I don't really want to answer your questions. So, see you on the next album!"

After speaking, she simply turned off the microphone in front of her.

The scene of the press conference was quiet for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Some people applauded and laughed, but Zhou Ai was still the same personality and never bothered to pay attention to what the media said.

Someone couldn't help standing up and asked: If you don't answer the question, is this press conference just an announcement?

Someone couldn't help but look disdainful on the spot, and said to someone she knew: Did she think this was a few years ago? Is she the same she was a few years ago? She just made a comeback, I don't know if she is successful or not. The shelf is not small!

Zhou Ai has already put away her smile and sits steadily on the chair without saying a word, if you stare at her carefully for a while. You will find that in this moment, she has lost her mind - even though the scene of the press conference has become a mess.

The host was embarrassed, picked up the microphone and started talking, trying to appease the reporters who came today, but no one paid him any attention. They all stared at Zhou Hao madly.

Xie Mingyuan smiled helplessly, turned his head to exchange two comments with Kazuichi Watanabe, nodded to each other, and then he turned around to touch Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao turned his head to look at him, and asked directly, "No one from me. Is something wrong? Can I go now?"

Xie Mingyuan stuck for a moment, then turned on the microphone in front of him, and said, "Thank you for coming today. Just like what Mummy said, she's a singer, no matter how much or how nice it sounds, it's useless, so see you on our album!"

As soon as the boss opened his mouth like this, the host immediately understood that the press conference was really coming to an end, so he quickly announced the end, and then thanked all the reporters for coming.

There were many people in the audience who were dissatisfied, and they came all the way, thinking that there was big news, but in fact, of course, it was big news, the headlines were for sure, but the problem is, you just have a press release that is bragging from beginning to end, How should our manuscript be written? Besides, you are going to make a comeback, big sister, do you have to accept the interview anyway?

But at this time, as soon as the host announced the end of the press conference, Zhou Ai immediately got up and stood up, and then walked to the side door without hesitation. Although her manager Zou Wenhuai had a big head, she quickly followed.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw that Zhou Hao really said she was going to leave, and she really didn't plan to say anything. However, even if he has only started doing this in the last few years, if he thinks back carefully about the comments and evaluations of Zhou Ai in the circle, he is full of anger and has to hold back. She is such a person, what can you do with her?

On the other hand, don't look at people as singers, release albums, etc., it seems that they need to use the power of various media for publicity, but since their debut, people have never asked the media, it has always been the media. The pole went after her to report—you said you didn’t want to, and didn’t like her? Well, you don't have to report it, anyway, some people are rushing to report it!

Just like now, in the so-called press conference, people don't answer a question, they just say "See you on the album", so do you report or not?

Don't even think about it, not only have to report, but also the front page headlines!

…………

After leaving the conference room, Zhou Ai's footsteps seemed very brisk.

Zou Wenhuai chased after her with a bitter look on her face, "I said, auntie, you have such a bad temper... Now it's all set, and the designation is to offend a lot of people again!"

Zhou Hao stood down, turned around, smiled, and said, "Find me a room, I want to call, I don't want to be overheard."

Zou Wenhuai pouted, yes, there's no need to complain about the rest. Anyway, I've gotten used to helping her deal with these bad things all these years, isn't it?

So, he took Zhou Ai forward, went to the No. 5 lounge, pushed open the door, and said, "This room will be yours from now on, you can sleep here." After a while, he didn't wait for Zhou Ai. After rushing people, he said: "I have to go and help you with the reporters, you can call!" After he finished speaking, he closed the door and hurried back.

After he left, Zhou Ai sat down on the sofa, feeling comfortable, and suddenly felt that everything went smoothly.

She took out her phone and dialed.

After about ten seconds, the other end was connected, and it was a slightly young but magnetic voice, "Hello?"

"It's me," she said.

The other party laughed, "I know it's you, why didn't you answer my call yesterday? I want to invite you to a drink."

"Well, yesterday... I couldn't pick it up," she said.

The other party laughed again, "Then why did you call me again today?"

Zhou Ai also smiled, "That's it for today! I signed a contract with Sony and signed two albums, you know?"

The other party paused and said, "I heard that, it's good. Then what?"

Zhou Ai smiled, "Then, I think everything is right! I can call you." After a pause, before Li Qian could answer, she said, "Hey, I also know who you are. Yes, my agent told me!"

The opposite side gave a "um" and said, "Actually, I didn't want to hide it, but I just can't remember to say it."

Zhou Ai smiled and said, "Well," and said, "There is no need to say. Then now... I'm fine, you can invite me to drink!"

On the other end of the phone, he laughed again, "I'm sorry, you've all come back, you're a professional singer, so quit the bar!"

"Oh."

Zhou Hao thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, do you think it's good for me to do this too?"

"Well, it's good, I said it just now! You don't need to explain anything, I understand what you mean, we are good friends in private, and we don't have to have any interests or considerations, we just play our own music. Right?"

When Zhou Hao heard this, she smiled sweetly at that time.

…………

As soon as she hung up the phone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ she threw the phone out.

"yeah!"

Like a little girl, she jumped up from the sofa and walked around in a circle.

"Good, he thinks the same as I do," she thought.

After a while, she nodded affirmatively again, "Well, it's the same."
