"Anran, if you want to study in the UK, what will Liu Wenqin do?" After the birthday party, the adults continued to chat, and Ma Tian asked Li Anran.
"He said he wanted to go to the UK with me, and he also said he would make himself better and make me proud of him." Li Anran explained, "However, it costs a lot of money to study in the UK, and I'm worried that he can't afford it, and I don’t know how to help him.”
Martin nodded.
Studying in the UK costs at least 100,000 yuan a year. The average annual income of ordinary working-class people is only 15,000. Therefore, studying abroad was only an option for a few people at that time.
"If he doesn't go, then I won't go either." Li Anran added.
"Do you think it's worth it for him?" Martin asked doubtfully.
"What about you, do you want to go abroad?" Li Anran asked.
The shadow of Zhu Weijiao flashed quickly in Ma Tian's mind, and then he sighed, "I don't know either."
"Then let's all think about it carefully." Seeing this, Li Anran comforted him.
…
September has passed quickly, and the National Day has arrived.
Xiang Nan made an appointment with Li Anran to play out early in the morning.
"Brother Qin, tell the truth. Did you write the song you recorded for me yourself?" Li Anran asked straight to the point when they met.
"It's thiophene. What's wrong? It doesn't sound good?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Of course not, I don't know how nice it sounds. Brother Qin, you are really talented." Li Anran waved his hand quickly.
"What kind of talent is that? It's all just nonsense. You can listen to it if you like." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"You are too modest, Brother Qin. I don't think Jay Chou is even capable of you." Li Anran said with a smile.
"You are exaggerating. How can I be so good?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go play~"
During the seven-day National Day holiday, Xiang Nan had a good time with Li Anran.
Famous scenic spots such as Ciqikou, Fairy Mountain, Peach Blossom Spring, Dazu Rock Carvings, etc. were visited one by one. For this reason, I didn't go out to set up a stall for several days.
"Brother Qin, you are always with me, what about business?" Li Anran felt very sorry and asked with concern.
"It doesn't matter. I'll lose a few days of money, but no one will die." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Anran, you waited for me for a year, this is what I owe you."
In fact, although he had not done business for a few days and made thousands of dollars less, Xiang Nan didn't care.
He has now made fifty thousand yuan. A small half was earned from barbecue, a large half was earned from stock trading, and a few thousand dollars was earned from writing articles.
With 50,000 yuan in capital, he can now earn two to three thousand yuan a day as long as he chooses stocks. In addition, the money earned from writing is not much less than that from a barbecue stall.
Moreover, barbecue stalls not only produce a lot of fumes, which are harmful to the body, but also require at least ten hours of work to purchase raw materials, prepare ingredients, and grill meat skewers. You can earn up to 1,000 yuan, which is not very cost-effective.
After Xiang Nan made his first pot of gold from a barbecue stall, he no longer wants to continue doing it.
Seeing him say this, Li Anran was very moved.
In fact, no matter whether a woman is poor or rich, she always wants someone to accompany her and someone to coax her.
…
"An Ran, I have thought of how to help Liu Wenqin." After the National Day holiday, when An Ran returned to school, Ma Tian said to her.
"How can I help?" Li Anran asked immediately after hearing this.
"Isn't Internet music very popular now?" Martin explained, "If we post his songs on the Internet, maybe a record company will notice him. By then, he may also become a popular Internet singer.
Just like those singers who sang "Mouse Loves Rice", "Lilacs", "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" and "The First Snow in 2002". "
"Hey, that's an idea." Li Anran's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
After returning home in the evening, she uploaded Xiang Nan's songs to popular websites at the time, such as Tianya, Maopu, Xici, Under the Banyan Tree, Shuimu Tsinghua BBS, etc.
Two days later, Li Anran received many private messages. Several people who claimed to be talent scouts expressed interest in these songs and hoped that Li Anran could sell these songs to them.
After Li Anran received the news, he was very happy and immediately called Xiang Nan.
After Xiang Nan made his first pot of gold, he bought himself a mobile phone, Nokia 7610, the most classic model of the year. Not only does it have a megapixel camera, but it can also install some programs, such as mobile QQ.
After Xiang Nan learned about this, he was not as optimistic as Li Anran.
He knows that there are many scammers on the Internet, and those who claim to be talent scouts may not necessarily be talent scouts. It could also be a scammer trying to defraud him of his authorization.
After all, Xiang Nan knows the value of good songs like "Ordinary Road", "Lake Baikal", "Want to See You", and "Exclusive Memory". And if a song becomes popular, it is easy to make millions or even tens of millions.
For example, Yang Chengang made a net profit of 170 million yuan with his song "Mouse Loves Rice"; Zhao Lei was in poverty before releasing "Chengdu". After the song became famous, the appearance fee immediately rose to hundreds of thousands of yuan... …
And, to be honest, Xiang Nan has no intention of becoming an online singer.
After all, he has so many ways to make money that he really can't afford to make a living by singing.
However, having said that, Li Anran was so enthusiastic about helping him, and he couldn't refuse this kindness.
So Xiang Nan then contacted several "talent scouts".
…
After contacting them, as Xiang Nan expected, they were basically all scammers.
When they saw that Li Anran posted the song online instead of sending it to the record company, they knew that she was an outsider.
When I further inquired and found out that both she and Xiang Nan were under twenty years old and were still children, I became even more convinced that they were young and naive and had never seen the world, so they were a little careless in their deceptions. Xiang Nan saw through it in just a few words. .
For example, a talent scout promised in every possible way that Xiang Nan would be popular. The premise is that Xiang Nan first signs a letter of authorization and then gives him tens of thousands of dollars so that he can help Xiang Nan;
There are also talent scouts who suppress Xiang Nan, saying that he is not a handsome guy in the traditional sense, so he has no chance of becoming famous. Let him just sell the song and create with peace of mind behind the scenes.
These people thought Xiang Nan was as innocent as Li Anran and could be fooled by casual coaxing. Little did they know that Xiang Nan had lived for hundreds of years, and that he was much more picky than they were when it came to saying that people are old and treacherous and horses are slippery.
What's more, Xiang Nan is the boss of a media company in real life, and his understanding of the entertainment industry is even far better than these people.
Therefore, after just a few words of conversation, Xiang Nan had already seen through their tricks and would not fall for their evil tricks.
But gold always shines. At the end of October, someone from the record company contacted Xiang Nan, hoping to talk to him about the song.
At that time, online songs became popular, such as "Mouse Loves Rice", "Lonely Northern Hemisphere", "Song of Pigs", etc. The album sales were not high, but the number of downloads of ring tones hit new highs repeatedly, becoming a new profit growth point.
Several of Xiang Nan's songs are quite popular, so they are willing to discuss cooperation with him.
