Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Xiangjiang wants me to attend the "Top Ten Golden Song Awards" ceremony party?"

Yu Dongqing was surprised to receive a call from Luo Yun at noon that day.

"Yes. Dongqing, this "Top Ten Golden Song Awards" ceremony party in Xiangjiang has never invited mainland musicians, and you are the first one."

"Okay, I understand the invitation to attend the award ceremony. What the hell is Lixing Company inviting me to do for exchanges?"

Lixing Company is famous in Hong Kong in this time and space, a bit like Polygram in Hong Kong in the 1990s.

However, Yu Dongqing has never had any contact with them.

"Li Xing Company wants to represent the distribution rights of your album in Hong Kong. Also, have you forgotten? Wu Jingqi is the number one singer under Li Xing Company," Yu Dongqing reminded.

oh.

I forgot about this.

"Li Xing Company also called. The meaning is very clear. They want you to help Wu Jingqi write songs and expand the mainland market. I saw that you are coming to Hong Kong to attend the ceremony this time, so I took this opportunity to invite you to formally discuss the matter, so as not to worry about your schedule. There is no such plan." Luo Yun explained on the phone.

"But the timing is unlucky. On April 15th, I was planning to go to the West Lake Zhangyang Tea House to taste tea. It's already late this year, and the tea before tomorrow will be almost gone." Yu Dongqing said.

"Oh my God. Being double invited to the Jinge Golden Melody Awards Ceremony and Li Xing Company is not as important as your tea tasting? Look at which mainland musicians have been publicly invited by both the Golden Melody Awards and Li Jing Company?!"

Are you honored to be invited?

Yu Dongqing didn't feel this way.

Seeing that Yu Dongqing didn't speak on the other end of the phone, Luo Yun was a little annoyed: "Okay, you like Longjing tea, right? I'll help you find it! It's definitely Ming and Qing tea. I'll get you as much as you want! I'll fly there myself. Let’s go to Hangzhou and buy it for you!”

You don’t understand.

Drinking tea is a state of mind.

Sitting under the White Crane Peak in Hangzhou in April, drinking the water from Hupao Spring, smelling the fragrance of tea floating in the air, and seeing the graceful figures of the tea-picking girls working hard in the tea gardens, that is called enjoyment.

Forget it, let’s not talk about it, I guess it won’t work if I don’t go.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree.

"Are you going? As a manager, you want to discuss album publishing with Li Xing, right? By the way, are you going to visit your husband?" Yu Dongqing asked.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yun was silent on the other side of the phone for a moment before saying: "I won't go. I'll ask people from Lixing Company to come to Yanjing to discuss the album publishing. I'll ask Yang Liu or Li Wei to accompany you there and take care of you."

"They don't speak Cantonese, and they have never been to Hong Kong. What's the use of running away and looking in the dark?" Yu Dongqing refused: "I want you to take care of both public and private matters. Didn't you say that your husband is often in Hong Kong?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this. It's okay if you don't want Yang Liu or Li Wei to go. In this way, I can contact the local people in Xiangjiang so that she can take care of you conveniently."

"No, I know Xiangjiang well."

"Are you familiar? Do you go there often?"

Oops, I spilled the beans.

In the original time and space, Yu Dongqing often went to Xiangjiang, several times a year, but in this time and space, she has never been there once.

"I mean I understand Cantonese, so I'm not afraid." Yu Dongqing quickly added: "Besides, wasn't it invited by Lixing Company? They must have someone to arrange my accommodation, right?"

"That's true. Maybe Wu Jingqi will accompany you on a tour of Xiangjiang."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a big singer, do you have this kind of free time?" Yu Dongqing said.

"It depends on who goes."

"Okay, no more talking, I'll hang up the phone if it's okay." Yu Dongqing hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Since going to Xiangjiang is also a big event, I have to tell my family about it. Yu Dongqing told her about this when she went to her mother-in-law's house in Houhai to pick up her daughter Yu Tongtong in the evening.

"Dad, I want to go to Hong Kong and Disneyland too!" my daughter shouted immediately.

"Tongtong, don't you want to go to school?" Grandma looked serious.

Yu Tongtong suddenly curled her lips and became unhappy.

Seeing her daughter like this, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to say: "Tongtong, when the summer vacation comes, can daddy take you to Hong Kong Disneyland?"

"Okay, okay, Dad, you have to keep your word!"

Of course, Yu Dongqing would not forget to explain the situation to his buddies, and naturally gained everyone's support. The night before leaving, several people specially ate hot pot at Yudefu Lao Yanjing on Dongzhimen Inner Street, saying it was to give him Farewell.

"Dongqing, this time you go to Xiangjiang and kill those gangsters! You actually look down on our mainland music scene, bastard! I don't understand the language of birds, so why don't you go over and spray them to death!"

After drinking some wine, Zhang Yang also spoke vulgarly.

Musicians in Hong Kong look down on mainland musicians, and this is not just for a day or two. Although things have changed in recent years, in the minds of Hong Kong people, the mainland music scene is relatively low.

This reminded Yu Dongqing of the original situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Hong Kong Bay is full of stars, but the mainland has little to offer in terms of music or singers.

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "I didn't go there to quarrel. After attending the award ceremony, I went to Lixing for a walk and then came back quickly. I also want to go to Hangzhou."

"I said Dongqing, you have to be prepared. You don't want to cause trouble, and some people want to laugh at you." Liu Yimin reminded him with a kind-hearted nature.

"Don't worry about Dongqing, I have a confidante over there." Du Hui, who was slowly eating mutton, suddenly said.

"Haha, that's right, I almost forgot, Wu Jingqi!" The three people laughed.

"Brother, please stop talking nonsense, okay?" Yu Dongqing was a little helpless.

Apart from sending messages to greet each other during holidays, he and Wu Jingqi rarely communicate with each other. Where did he get this kind of confidante?

"Hey, that's what the Internet says. You can't admit it. Dongqing, when Lixing Company invites you this time, are you doing it for Wu Jingqi?"

For a group of old friends, Yu Dongqing had nothing to hide and nodded.

"That's right. You came to Xiangjiang to write songs for this beautiful woman. You two have nothing to do with each other?!"

Damn it!

Was it Lixing who invited me first?

Yu Dongqing was speechless.

On the afternoon of April 14, Yu Dongqing carried her suitcase and embarked on a journey to Xiangjiang.

In the evening, the plane landed steadily at Xiangjiang International Airport. Yu Dongqing carried the suitcase and walked out of the security check channel. According to the communication between the two parties, someone came to the airport to pick up the plane today.

In the terminal, he looked around, looking for someone to hold a sign with his name on it, but was a little disappointed.

There are indeed quite a few pick-up brands, but none of them have their own names.

Yu Dongqing didn't care so much. Anyway, he already knew the hotel where he was going to stay before leaving, so he might as well take the airport bus there alone.

Before he had walked a few steps, he saw a beautiful girl walking towards him with a smile on her face. She was wearing a very ordinary T-shirt and jeans. Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be Wu Jingqi.
