Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 6: Li Guangping and his friends' attitude changes
"It rained deeply all night"

"Silent second hand"

"Gently feel this resonance for me."

"It rained all night long"

"The stopped second hand"

……

The slightly passionate song "Second Hand" was quickly sung, and the guests in the karaoke bar not only gave Zhou Ziheng tips, but also kept cheering and asking him to continue singing.

However, this time Zhou Ziheng did not listen to them.

After thanking everyone again and again for their tips, he left the stage.

Backstage, Zhou Ziheng counted the flower baskets and wreaths.

After counting, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Eight hundred and seventy dollars!

The total amount of rewards tonight is more than 800.

After deducting the 20% fee from the karaoke bar, he could get 630 yuan.

Including the appearance fee, he can get more than 700.

This should be the night with the most money he made, or even his original self, since he became a resident singer.

I asked a few dancers who came around to help me exchange the flower baskets and garlands for cash.

Zhou Ziheng began to thank the guests who gave him large tips one by one.

This is also what Zhou Ziheng worries about most every night.

Not every customer who comes to the store has good qualities.

Especially those rich women!
Every time Zhou Ziheng went to thank them, he couldn't avoid being taken advantage of.

Many people only know that men will be unable to walk after meeting a beautiful woman, but they don’t know that it will be even more terrifying if a woman goes crazy.

Especially those rich women.

They become crazier and bolder after drinking.

Zhou Ziheng had been touched on the head before.

In fact, the original body was almost killed on the spot by a rich woman in a karaoke bar...

But as a resident singer, if guests tip you, you have to thank them.

If you don't even say a word of thanks, who will give you a reward next time?

So, after exchanging the flower baskets and other rewards, Zhou Ziheng had to bite the bullet and find a bottle of beer to go to the lobby and personally thank the guests who had given him the rewards.

The first person he thanked was Chen Ronghua, who was the first to give the reward and the one who cried loudly because of "Wandering Song".

This person may really like "Wandering Song".

As soon as Zhou Ziheng came over, he immediately pulled Zhou Ziheng aside and talked nonstop.

Finally, she took off the gold chain around her neck and said she wanted to give it to Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng naturally couldn't accept this thing.

The big gold chain looked very heavy and worth a lot of money, and the other party was now drunk.

If you really accept it, the other person will most likely regret it after he sobers up.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that Zhou Ziheng believes in making money by himself.

When he was on the stage, the tips given to him by others were earned through his singing, which can be considered as labor-intensive.

If you take something from the other party now, it would be like taking it for free.

After spending a few minutes rejecting the big gold chain and saying goodbye to the man, Zhou Ziheng went around the karaoke bar twice to thank the guests who had given him tips.

There were also people who were unreasonable during this period.

She was the woman at that table who gave a large tip of two hundred yuan.

This table is full of women.

It should be a young woman.

A few of them may have taken a fancy to Zhou Ziheng and insisted on dragging him to drink and not letting him leave.

In the end, Li Chunbo couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over to help and said he had something to do, and that's how they got rid of them.

"Brother Chunbo, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have most likely been drunk and collapsed at that table tonight."

On the way to Li Chunbo's booth, Zhou Ziheng said with lingering fear.

"It's also your fault that you are so popular with these rich ladies. Judging from their posture, they are planning to eat you tonight."

Li Chunbo said with a hint of envy, "I'm not a bad singer, why can't I have such a good experience?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng shook his head speechlessly.

As the saying goes, what is sweet to others may be poison to you.

Because of his good looks, he is never short of women.

He could switch to a different type every night if he wanted.

Because he eats too much, he has no interest in women who are not particularly good-looking.

But the opposite is true.

Although Li Chunbo had dated many women, none of them were as popular as Zhou Ziheng. Therefore, he always envied Zhou Ziheng for being entangled by women every night.

Can't wait to replace it.

……

The two of them came to the booth that Li Chunbo had reserved.

Before Zhou Ziheng could say anything, Chen Xiaoqi enthusiastically pulled him to sit next to him.

"Very good. The song 'Wandering Song' is down-to-earth and infectious. The next one is also very good. Although the lyrics are a bit explicit, the melody is very moving and has the potential to be published."

Li Guangping didn't say anything, but directly handed Zhou Ziheng a bottle of wine. His attitude changed 180 degrees from before.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng felt relieved.

It seems that Chen Xiaoqi and Li Guangping recognized him.

Because the karaoke bar is not a suitable place for negotiations, the few people did not discuss business here, but just drank and chatted about daily life.

At around ten o'clock, Chen Xiaoqi and Li Guangping left.

Before leaving, Chen Xiaoqi gave Zhou Ziheng an address and a business card and asked him to go and have a chat the next day.

"Brother Chunbo, how is your conversation with Xiaofang going?"

After Chen Xiaoqi and the other person left, Zhou Ziheng and Li Chunbo did not stay in the karaoke bar any longer.

The two returned to the dormitory building together.

In Zhou Ziheng's room, Zhou Ziheng poured a glass of water for Li Chunbo, and then asked Li Chunbo about the publication and distribution of "Xiao Fang".

Hearing his question, Li Chunbo felt a little worried.

“Brother Xiaoqi and Brother Guangping are very optimistic about my tape and promised to find a way to distribute it for me.

But the planning department seems to have different opinions on this tape, and Xiao Qi asked me to wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but frown.

He was quite excited at first, because both Chen Xiaoqi and Li Guangping seemed to attach great importance to his "Wandering Song".

But after hearing what Li Chunbo said, he suddenly felt that the distribution of "Wandering Song" might encounter setbacks again.

"Wandering Song" and "Xiao Fang" are both songs with simple melodies and lyrics, which are considered rustic by most musicians.

If the other people at China Records don't even want to publish "Xiao Fang", then "Wandering Song" is probably in jeopardy too.

"In fact, we don't need to worry too much. Brother Xiao Qi said that he would find a way to convince others. With his connections and reputation, we don't need to worry too much."

Perhaps thinking that his words would undermine Zhou Ziheng's confidence, Li Chunbo comforted him again.

Zhou Ziheng nodded.

There's no point worrying about that now.

He has already let the people in the record company see his songs and abilities.

If the other party still doesn't want to sign the publishing contract, then there's nothing he can do no matter how hard he tries.

At worst, I can just find a way to get a visa and go to Hong Kong to develop my career.

Anyway, he had considered this option before.

And just when Zhou Ziheng and Li Chunbo were talking.

On the road, a Lexus LS is driving fast.

The whistling night wind blew into the car, sobering up the drunk Li Guangping.

He rubbed his head and said with a troubled look:

"Old Wang and his team didn't want to publish Xiao Fang in the first place, and now we've brought back a similar song, Wandering Song. I'm afraid this ideological work will be even more difficult!"

"It's very difficult!" Chen Xiaoqi was driving with a cigarette in his mouth.

He spit out the cigarette, and it drew an arc in the air and flew out of the window.

"So, I don't plan to sign Zhou Ziheng to the Planning Department!"

Hearing this, Li Guangping frowned immediately, "Then why did you ask him to meet tomorrow?"

"You know Liu Zhiwen from Pacific Audio and Video, right?" Chen Xiaoqi asked.

"I know! It seems he was promoted to vice president last year!" Li Guangping nodded.

"He is quite familiar with me. I plan to recommend Zhou Ziheng there!" Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Guangping fell silent.

Although several major record companies in Guangzhou are state-owned enterprises, their respective businesses are independent.

He felt a little uncomfortable watching Chen Xiaoqi send the talents who should have belonged to his side to that side.

But there was nothing he could do.

He knew that even if Chen Xiaoqi did not recommend Zhou Ziheng to Pacific, the planning department would not be able to sign him and Li Chunbo at the same time.

The Planning Department must choose between the two.

He and Chen Xiaoqi can only publish one person's record.

The other person can only give up temporarily.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoqi's decision to recommend Zhou Ziheng to Pacific Audio and Video was actually the right approach.

"Don't worry, your name will be in the recommender column. If Zhou Ziheng makes achievements there, you and I will also have achievements."

As if seeing through Li Guangping's thoughts, Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.
