There was haze in the sky, and the distance was so gray that the sun that should be hanging in the western sky was not visible.
The north wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves of the factory building, making a tinkling sound. There were several posters pasted at the door. The top ones were still new, but the ones below had become discolored and peeled off due to the wind and rain, giving it a sense of dilapidation. .
"Brother Yue, is this the recording studio you're talking about?"
Hu Liang got off the car and looked at the old factory building in front of him. There was disappointment in his tone. He thought Lin Yue would take them to the downtown business district, such as Wangfujing, Xidan, Guomao CBD, and Zhongguancun. There are clean streets, beautifully decorated shop windows, and fashionable beauties wearing short skirts even in winter. What’s the result? Coming to a place like this, except for the two sycamore trees planted in front of the door and growing well, there is nothing that can be described as "landscape"... although now they are only bare branches.
"I used to record songs here when I was leading a band. The equipment is all brand new. It is no worse than those famous recording studios. The most important thing is that it is cost-effective." Lin Yue said: "Don't look at it. It's shabby on the outside, but it's shabby on the inside. It’s very exquisite and has a large space. In addition to the recording studio, there is also a place to practice singing. There is a rest room on the second floor when you are tired, and there are simple fitness equipment and other things in the courtyard outside.”
"So good?" Hu Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this. For someone like him who has no pursuit of quality of life, the building in front allows him to practice singing, hang out, record and rest. This kind of treatment is no different from a vacation.
Since they participated in the program "Singing the Motherland" on Jilin TV Station, the Sewing Machine Band has suddenly become popular in the Northeast, with the same momentum as Daolang's instant success. In Lin Yue's words, they were able to achieve such results because, firstly, they wrote the songs well and the basic skills of the band were pretty good; secondly, they played the emotional card and the unique card at a time when they have Internet exposure, and the band has a story and is grounded. Qi, this is like sales. Some products rely on quality, some products rely on brand history, and some products rely on personality and characteristics. Now that the average cultural level of the people is getting higher and higher, they can tell a good story. , many times it is more reliable than bragging about the quality of your products. Thirdly, rock music has been declining for a long time. There is a saying that when things go to extremes, they must be reversed. When the public can't find a fresher music style, going back and trying classic models is also a good choice.
Lin Yue smiled and said nothing. He walked over and pressed the video doorbell at the door. After a while, a "Please come in" came from the speaker and the door opened.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Ding Jianguo caught up with him: "You are the one who started what happened online these days, right?"
Lin Yue knew what she was talking about. After the band Sewing Machine became popular, the conflict between Lin Yue and Hua Xia and the reasons for his resignation were posted online by the good guys. Fans of Sewing Machine began to "attack the city" and denounced Blue Band, Lei Qiaoqiao and others. The scolding caused the Blue Band's live broadcast room to be closed.
The Chinese side also hired someone to write a few soft articles to attack the Sewing Machine Band and Lin Yue, but a band from a small border town whose members have never been in a big city and have never been involved in the entertainment industry before has nothing to hide. It's just that the skills are not good, because the band disbanded due to internal divisions and did not keep the big guitar and so on.
One by one, the entire brokerage industry was brought down, because a half-hearted broker expressed his support for Lin Yue on Weibo, accusing China Xia of not respecting the rights and labor results of employees by relying on the overlord clause in the contract. For this reason, many famous musicians were selected. agent.
Lin Yue's experience does not seem to involve his own interests, but there is no guarantee that he will not encounter similar situations in the future. If he does not take a stand today, if things happen to him in the future, even the aggressive netizens will not speak for him. And Huaxia is not a big company, so some big managers expressed their sympathy for Lin Yue tactfully and called on the entertainment company to respect the efforts of its employees.
Some small agents were tied up by company contracts. They wanted to speak but dared not, so they could only secretly hand over knives to Lin Yue and report dirty information to China. Anyway, the whole circle was in chaos.
The whole thing was like an invisible pusher, constantly heating up the topic. When the public's novelty was almost over, new topics related to the Sewing Machine Band developed, continuing to stimulate the fermentation of the situation.
Lin Yue said: "No, this has nothing to do with me at all."
Ding Jianguo glanced at him: "It's weird to believe you. You have been an agent for so long, and you have done a lot of hype."
Lin Yue said: "Okay, I'm not old, but I have a lot of thoughts."
She didn't make a fuss about it. Seeing Lin Yue's empty hands, he put the bass on his back into his arms: "I just feel that you are a little too hasty? In fact, Hu Liang, Lao Yang and Xixi never thought about it." This is how you want to be known."
Lin Yue thought that the system had given him such a task - to become famous in China. To achieve this goal, from the perspective of an insider, the fastest and most convenient way was to hype.
Hype the story of the Sewing Machine Band - Hype the new songs - Hype your own experiences - Create a topic with more depth and breadth.
Now, I'm in the recording studio to prepare for the production of my first MTV.
Lin Yue said: "You are not in a hurry, I am, and... your dad is eager to see you become famous."
"So you accepted his funding? You want to help the band film MTV?"
"Not only him, but also Ji'an Gaoliangcheng Scenic Area and several leading companies. Of course, MTV's location selection must be within Ji'an and the scenic area."
"You are truly a qualified agent."
"Are you blaming me for looking at money?"
Ding Jianguo gave him a cold look and strode forward.
"Why did you offend her?"
A person patted him from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Sun Tong.
Lin Yue shrugged, looking helpless.
"When are you going to take me to the city to play?" Sun Tong looked at him expectantly. From her point of view, she was naturally willing to see a rich second-generation girl playing tricks and doing it hard.
"I've been on a bus all the way today. Let's rest first. I'll take you with me after I finish recording the song tomorrow."
"Don't go back on what you said. I want to visit the Forbidden City, I want to go to Shichahai, and I want to go to Wangfujing to eat snacks."
People who live in BJ, who goes to Wangfujing to eat snacks?
But Lin Yue didn't speak, so as not to disturb her interest.
Today is off. I will record the first song tomorrow and the second song the day after tomorrow. I will participate in the "Music You Me Him" organized by Qiyi Video in the evening, record the third song the day after tomorrow, and then go home.
Anyway, this is the plan. If the band members are not in good condition tomorrow, they will have no choice but to feel sorry for Sun Tong.
…
The next day.
Hu Liang performed very well and completed the recording of "Choose C" in only five or six hours. In the afternoon, Lin Yue took Sun Tong and Xixi to the city.
He asked Ding Jianguo if he wanted to go with him, but was refused. It was obvious that she was still angry about the previous conversation.
Lin Yue was speechless about this and knew why she was like this.
Now it seems that Cheng Gong probably took her father's money and ran away, so the Sewing Machine Band broke up and the Ji'an Night concert was not held. She was worried that he would get into money like Cheng Gong. After all, she had been It does appear to be somewhat utilitarian.
But... there is no way, the system is forcing me to do it.
The third day after returning to BJ.
The recording of "People Without Ideals Are Not Sad" was not very smooth. It took almost 10 hours before Lin Yue felt it was enough and called it a day.
It was already evening, and there was still "Music You Me Him" organized by Qiyi Video to participate in. Even though Lao Yang and Xixi were very tired, he still asked them to hold on for a while, because this music program is very important, as long as they perform well A few can maintain the popularity of the Sewing Machine Band after participating in "Singing to the Motherland", and use BJ as a stage to promote the band's influence nationwide.
When Lao Yang, Hu Liang, Ding Jianguo and others were about to get in the car and rush to the city, Lao Zhong from the recording studio stopped Lin Yue to discuss tomorrow's recording arrangements.
Lin Yue asked them to wait in the car first, and he would come after finalizing the follow-up matters with Lao Zhong. So Lao Yang, Xixi, Hu Liang, and Ding Jianguo left the recording studio and went to the program production team, which was temporarily sent to pick them up for the show. business car in the hall.
A few people sat down and before they could say a few words, the driver in front of him suddenly started the car and drove out of the block where the recording studio was located. Hu Liang reacted and asked the driver why he didn't wait for Lin Yue. When the car stopped, the compartment door was pulled from the outside. Open, a woman gets into the car.
Ding Jianguo glanced outside. In addition to the woman who got into the car, five men wearing sunglasses got out of two jeeps not far away. Their appearance did not look good.
Highway robbery? It shouldn't be so, then...it's a kidnapping?
Oops, they're being targeted.
