Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The phone rang for a while before it was connected. The voice on the other side was very noisy, and it looked like it was at a concert.

"What did you say, Dongqing? I can't hear you clearly," Lu Ping said loudly on the phone: "Wait a minute and I'll find a quiet place and call you."

A few minutes later, Lu Ping called.

"What? Are you performing?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Yeah, there was a concert in Tianjin, so we came over." Lu Ping said with a smile on the phone: "I'm not as awesome as I am. I can make a few years of money from a tour, and we still have to travel everywhere. "

What Lu Ping said is true.

Rock music will always be a niche, and if you want to survive, you have to find ways to make money.

Yu Dongqing smiled: "Look what you said. Hey, there is a program on the Spring Festival Gala at the Royal Capital TV Tower. Would you like to be on it?"

"What? Imperial TV's Spring Festival Gala?" Lu Ping's voice was full of surprise.

"That's what happened." Yu Dongqing explained the whole process in detail.

"I think, instead of asking Mr. Jin to find another band, it would be better to find you. How about it? Are you willing to join?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Ping was silent for a moment before saying, "How about I discuss it with my buddy and get back to you tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"What? Lu Ping didn't agree?"

"He said he wanted to discuss it."

"It still doesn't save face." Luo Yunjiao said with a smile: "Being able to appear on the Royal Capital TV Spring Festival Gala means you will gain both fame and fortune. As far as I know, the appearance fee for the Royal Capital TV Spring Festival Gala actors is not low. According to my estimation, they can sing a song on the Huangdu TV. A song can earn at least 100,000 yuan.”

One hundred thousand songs may not seem too high for Yu Dongqing and others, but it is no longer a small amount for the Huabangzi Band.

"Okay. Never mind, it depends on what they want." Yu Dongqing said.

"Yeah. Let's go back to sleep."

Luo Yun actually imitated the speech of a child.

But Yu Dongqing sounds a little different?

Carrot Radio music scene in Tianjin Jinwan Square.

A small rock concert is going on. Lu Ping's Huabangzi Band has finished singing and has been singing in Tianjin for two days. Tonight, they will rush south overnight to Dezhou, Shandong. There will be a performance there tomorrow night and they will rush back after it is over. Yanjing.

They took the green leather train's hard sleeper, so they could sleep on the train overnight and be refreshed during the day tomorrow.

Of course it also saves money.

In the taxi heading to the train station, Lu Ping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the flickering lights outside the car window. He suddenly turned around and said to the three band members in the back row: "Brother, Yu Dongqing called just now and asked Are we willing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of Huangdu TV?"

"Brother Lu Ping, come on. Huangdu TV is well-known and not as stingy as CCTV. Why not come on?!" The speaker was bassist Xiaodao, who was the youngest among them.

"It's not singing our song, nor is it singing solo, it's singing a new song written by Yu Dongqing." Lu Ping repeated Yu Dongqing's words again.

Xiao Dao suddenly stopped talking.

Because he also knows that the band insists on originality and will not sing songs written by others!

In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that there was no need to be so rigid.

Unlike the other three members of the band, he joined the band at a later stage and has only been in the band for two years.

It turned out that the bassist of the band left, and Lu Ping found him.

He thought Lu Ping was a good person and the band was quite famous in Yanjing, so he agreed.

The three big brothers all treated him well, but the band was in financial difficulty.

We can't afford large-scale concerts, so we can at most hold some special live house performances, but at most we can perform in bars in various cities like tonight.

It's a bit hard.

It was certainly a good opportunity to attend the Royal Capital TV Spring Festival Gala, but he knew that now was not the time for him to speak.

When Lu Ping saw that the three of them were silent, he said, "Brother, why don't you make a statement?"

"I think I can go." The drummer, nicknamed Lao Hei, who is fat and dark, said, "We are singing a song written by Yu Dongqing, and it is a new song."

What he meant was clear.

Yu Dongqing and his band are not a rock band. Obviously this song is not left to them to sing. It is not too shameful for us to sing what our friends wrote.

Of course there is a deeper meaning.

Can make money.

"What Lao Hei said makes sense, and I agree." The next person to speak was the lead guitarist Dahai, who is also the band's second lead singer.

"Xiao Dao, what about you?" Lu Ping looked at Xiao Dao.

"Lao Hei and Brother Dahai agree."

Lu Ping sighed slightly in his heart.

But there was a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll call Yu Dongqing tomorrow."

"Brother Lu Ping, why don't you fight now? To avoid long nights and dreams." Xiao Dao couldn't wait.

"Now? I heard that Yu Dongqing and his beautiful manager are getting together. They might have sex now, so we won't disturb them."

Lu Ping smiled.

Yu Dongqing received a call from Lu Ping in the studio the next morning.

"Okay, I'll call Director Jin right away," Yu Dongqing said.

"Do you think Director Jin will agree?" Lu Ping was a little worried.

Yesterday I was thinking about not accepting it, but now I am thinking about it, but I am worried that Huangdu TV Station will not agree with it.

"I guess it's not a big problem." Yu Dongqing smiled and said.

Sure enough, Yu Dongqing called Jin Yunfeng and recommended Huabangzi Band and Sanshu to collaborate on this show, and Jin Yunfeng immediately agreed.

He had heard of the Huabangzi Band. Although it was not one of the top rock bands in the country, it still had a certain reputation.

In addition, it was recommended by Yu Dongqing.

"What, done?"

At some point, Luo Yun entered the recording studio and looked at him.

"Well, Lu Ping and the others and Director Jin all agree." Yu Dongqing replied: "Luo Yun, thank you for your hard work. You will talk to Huangdu TV on behalf of Third Uncle and the others."

"No problem, your third uncle is my third uncle. You will be satisfied with the result. Okay, go ahead and get busy." After Luo Yun said that, she turned around and left.

I don't know if it was Luo Yun's credit or the Royal TV station's deep pockets, but the two parties negotiated and signed the contract quickly.

The performance fee for the Huayin Laoqiang Art Troupe is 150,000, and free food and accommodation are provided during this period. Yu Hongguang and the others also moved from the hotel provided by CCTV to the Jianguo Hotel near Jianguomenwai Street.

This is an old hotel or a four-star hotel.

Lu Ping's Huabangzi Band immediately returned to Yanjing after completing their performance in Texas. After signing an agreement with Huangdu TV Station, they immediately started rehearsing the program.

Yu Dongqing has already produced the compiled music.

As for how the two groups of people could work together to perform the song better, Yu Dongqing didn't interfere too much. Lu Ping and the others already knew music, not to mention that the TV station's program team was there to check it, so they were free to relax.

My daughter has already gone on vacation.

You need to take good care of yourself.

It's just that Luo Yun can't come here often.

Should you tell your daughter about this?

Yu Dongqing is thinking about this issue.
