Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 41 He finally shows up...?

There were balls of paper all over the floor, guitars randomly placed, charging cables tangled into pigtails, and snacks scattered all over the table...

If it weren't for the faint scent of iris perfume floating in the air, it would be hard to believe that this was a girl's room.

Agent Zhang Hong has long been numb to such scenes.

Besides, she came all the way to Linhang not to be a health committee member.

"My dear aunt, you can't continue to stay in confinement after childbirth." Zhang Hong said worriedly: "Yang Yan's EP has sold out. If you don't respond, she will really trample you under her feet!"

"It's just a brush." ​​Xu Lingyue looked disdainful.

"So what?" Zhang Hong said anxiously, "After five or ten years, people will only know that there was an EP called "Summer Flowers" that sold out in the summer of 16 and set a series of sales records. Who would care about its water content?"

"Silly girl, history is written by the victors!"

Xu Lingyue was silent for a few seconds. "But I can't write a song now, what can I do?"

"Then sing songs written by others!" Seeing that she was about to give in, Zhang Hong immediately took advantage of the situation.

"You originally planned to gradually transition and compromise. Now it's just a one-step process. There's not much difference. Just get through the painful period and you'll be fine!"

"The key now is to respond and not let her dominate the spotlight, even if it means just taking a little attention away from her."

"Our contract with East Star Records is about to expire. If you fail to deliver at this time, the contract renewal will be downgraded. You don't want to be exploited by those bastards, do you?"

Xu Lingyue gritted her teeth and pondered for a while, "Then I'll change a company to affiliate with."

Zhang Hong rolled her eyes. "You are already in your twenties, why are you still talking like a child? How can it be so easy to find a new employer?"

"With your willful and disobedient temper, few companies dare to hire you. Now you are stuck in a creative bottleneck, and your value is about to be cut in half. Are you sure you won't be ripped off if you change jobs at this time?"

Xu Lingyue fell silent again, lowering her head and saying nothing.

Zhang Hong was so angry that her breasts hurt. "My dear aunt, you won't tell me that you are still waiting for that Teacher Zhou, right?"

"Wake up! Stop dreaming! If he really wanted to come out, why would he wait until now?!"

"So without this Butcher Zhou, you can only live with pigs, right? The songs I found for you now are of good quality. If Teacher Zhou really comes out, he may not be able to write better than these!"

"And it's not like I didn't look for you. I cast a tight net!"

As if she felt that her oral explanation was not convincing enough, Zhang Hong directly took out her mobile phone.

"Look, now there are dozens or even hundreds of emails popping up in the studio mailbox almost every day, and all of them claim to be Teacher Zhou. I am almost losing all my hair just to distinguish the authenticity every day."

"Look, here comes another one. This one has learned his lesson and even brought a photo..."

Snapped!
Xu Lingyue suddenly grabbed Zhang Hong's hand, as if she had instantly transformed from a lazy cat into a fierce tiger, her eyes were so sharp and frightening, "Wait a minute, give me the phone."

Zhang Hong was startled, "What?"

"Give me!"

Xu Lingyue snatched it away and looked at it carefully.

This is a group photo taken at Siyuan Village Hope Primary School.

A few naughty kids surrounded a teacher with rustic clothes, smiling brightly.

Unfortunately, the teacher who was the center of attention had his head blurred out, making his face unrecognizable.

"Just take a look, don't take it seriously." Zhang Hong habitually reached for a cigarette, but when she thought about the fact that she was in someone else's house...

He picked up a piece of tangerine peel candy on the table, peeled it and put it into his mouth.

"It's true!" Xu Lingyue's voice seemed to tremble a little, "He finally showed up!"

When she raised her head, her face had turned red due to excessive excitement, and the brilliance radiating from her peach blossom eyes was scorching hot: "I know all these children, they are indeed from Siyuan Village."

Zhang Hong was speechless. "No, are you stupid? Nowadays, photos can be edited at will! Do you believe this?"

But seeing Xu Lingyue's burning gaze, she compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll have someone identify it, but I advise you not to hold out too much hope."

He saved the picture, searched for it in Fetion's address book for a long time, and then sent it out. "Brother Liu, please verify its authenticity." "OK"

After ten agonizing minutes, the reply came.

Brother Liu: “It should be true.”

Xu Lingyue stood up suddenly, so excited that she was even a little at a loss.

Zhang Hong was stunned. "Are you sure?"

Brother Liu: "I can't guarantee it 100%, but it's basically true. You can't see any burrs or artifacts caused by artificial synthesis. Anyway, I can't achieve this level."

"Moreover, there is no trace of HDR overlay calculation in this photo, and the exposure strategy is also very stupid, it should be from an old mobile phone."

"In addition, its image encoding format is also very old. Most new mobile phones now use new compression encoding, which can also prove that it comes from an old mobile phone. Overall, its EXIF ​​information can all match."

Looking at these replies, Zhang Hong was completely stunned.

Really?

It's actually true?!
After searching for so long with no news, he actually fell into our trap?
"What are you still standing there for?" Xu Lingyue was almost going crazy. She wanted to grab Zhang Hong's neck and shake her awake. "Hurry up and reply. I need your contact information!"

"Ah...ah? Oh oh oh." Zhang Hong suddenly came back to her senses and immediately started replying to the email.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. We have been looking for you for a long time! Can you give me your contact information to discuss in detail?"

Then, it's a long wait.

Xu Lingyue could no longer sit still. She paced back and forth in the room with an excited look on her face, without stopping for a moment, and muttered to herself.

This scene was very much like a fan meeting his idol, which made Zhang Hong speechless.

As for?
But don't let "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment"...

A few minutes later, the reply email came.

Xu Lingyue pounced over like a tiger descending from a mountain and opened the email before Zhang Hong.

"Hello, before we officially contact each other, I want to make three rules: First, I do not accept any form of offline meetings or any form of video chats. I need absolute privacy and confidentiality."

"Second, please stop asking for my information, and don't trace my whereabouts, otherwise I will disappear immediately."

"Third, please do not introduce any so-called 'clients' or 'connections' to me without my permission. I will only establish contact with you unilaterally for the time being."

"The general principle is to strictly respect and keep my privacy information confidential. If you agree, we can exchange contact information."

The excitement on Xu Lingyue's face disappeared in an instant, and disappointment was visible to the naked eye.

What? You still refuse to show up!
But Zhang Hong was not affected at all and started replying to emails immediately.

As long as you can help Xu Lingyue write songs, you can play hide-and-seek however you like!
Anyway, it’s not like we have to meet in person for an online romance, so it doesn’t matter!
A few minutes later, Zhang Hong received a reply email with a Fetion ID.

Xu Lingyue immediately searched and added the friend, and was approved almost instantly.

I looked through my personal information page... As expected, everything from my profile to my friends circle was blank.

It's obviously a new account that was just registered.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou..." He typed halfway and deleted it in one go.

Type again, then delete.

Xu Lingyue felt that this simple opening line was more difficult to write than the lyrics.

Zhang Hong almost vomited blood watching from the side.

In the end, it was Teacher Zhou who sent the message first.

"I'm going to write a charity song for Siyuan Village. Can you help me sing it?"
