Rebirth of the sky-high broker

The sun is shining.

It has been a month since the end of the highly anticipated draft ceremony.Entertainment topics are filled with new hot spots, and people gradually no longer mention the students who were once known to women and children in the streets and alleys. Even the advertisements on both sides of the subway have changed a round, and it is no longer the vigorous face of the rising star Luo Fei.

This is the law of the entertainment industry. Without enough topics and exposure, no one will remember you.

"That's why I have to ask Shi Dongning to make this album for me?" Luo Fei pulled down the light-blocking partition and adjusted his hair in front of the mirror on the partition.

Li Jin gave him a sideways glance—one month after the competition, although Luo Fei was runner-up, his development momentum was stronger than that of the champion.He played a good role in setting up Luo Fei's game before the end of the game.Numerous commercial performances, award presentations, charity events, and film guest appearances by major directors have kept him exposed enough.Even in this month, he released two singles, which achieved good results on the radio and online charts.

But this is not enough.

Li Jin knew very well that the success of those two songs was only due to the fact that the competition had just ended, Luo Fei's popularity had not declined, and the public still had a good impression of him. As far as the songs themselves were concerned, they were not popular enough or classic enough.But these years the record industry is in a downturn, and good songs have long been taken away by big names, so it's not the turn of a talented singer to sing.

Since you can't grab a ready-made good song, you can only start from the source and tailor it for Luo Fei.Li Jin is a person who can either do it or do it, so it is only natural that he inquired about Shi Dongning's residence and came to visit.

After the final, Shi Dongning was questioned because he gave Luo Fei a low score at a critical moment.With his temper, he didn't respond in any way, instead he hid like taking the blame, as if isolated from the world.It took Li Jin a lot of effort to find out that he actually hid in a villa on the outskirts of the city.

After leaving the city and continuing to drive for half an hour, an elegant villa area suddenly appeared in the desolate suburbs along the way.

Luo Fei sat up straight, pointed to the distance and asked, "Is that where it is?"

"That's right there." Li Jin turned the steering wheel to the right, and the car turned along the path.

Shi Dongning's villa is on the third row of 12C. Li Jin parked the car directly in front of Shi Dongning's yard, and said to Luo Fei, "Go down and knock on the door."

Luo Fei answered, obediently got out of the car and rang the doorbell.The doorbell rang three times, and the image of the video TV appeared. Shi Dongning seemed to be busy doing something, and didn't even give them a straight face. He looked down and said, "A real estate agent, right? The door is unlocked. come in."

"Teacher Shi." Luo Fei said, "We are not real estate agents."

In the room, Shi Dongning paused as if his movements were stiff, then raised his head and asked in great doubt: "Luo Fei?"

"Teacher Shi, and me." Li Jin came closer, "If the door is unlocked, we will go in directly."

The villa has a small yard, separated from the street by an iron gate.Li Jin pushed open the iron door, and Shi Dongning was already standing at the door to greet him.Seeing them, Shi Dongning was a million times surprised, but he couldn't hide that little bit of surprise, and said, "How did you find this place? Come in quickly." Turning around, he looked into the room, but frowned in embarrassment. , "The room is messy, don't mind."

Li Jin smiled, stepped through the door, and was stunned as soon as he entered the room.

The room is not messy, but the furniture is covered with white cloth, and there are a few cardboard boxes scattered in the middle of the living room, which are full of things in different categories.Reminiscent of Shi Dongning's words just now, Li Jin has already guessed a lot.

"Teacher Shi wants to sell the house?" He asked.

Shi Dongning told them to sit down, but the sofa was full of things and there was no place to sit, so he had to move some to the ground for the time being.As for the tea for entertaining guests, he couldn't find it for a while. Shi Dongning was extremely embarrassed, but he could only replace it with plain water.

"Yes," he said while pouring water, "move to the city, the transportation will be more convenient."

Li Jin got up to take the water, just smiled but didn't say much.Luo Fei, an idiot, took a sip of his drink, and echoed that yes, yes, yes, the traffic in the city is really convenient, and there is a supermarket just three steps away, so you don't have to worry about being hungry in the middle of the night and having no place to buy supper.

Shi Dongning has been dealing with Luo Fei for more than half a year, and he knew that this kid looks clever, but he is actually an idiot inside, so he didn't bother with him, and asked Li Jin: "The competition has just ended, and Luo Fei is now in the period of consolidating his popularity. Are you busy? Why are you willing to waste his time and bring him to my place?"

"Not only today, but I'm free of his schedule for the next three days." Li Jin cut to the chase, "Mr. Shi, I would like to ask you to make Luo Fei's first album by yourself."

"Me?" The water in Shi Dongning's hand shook slightly, and then an unspeakable wry smile appeared on his face, "Li Jin, are you joking? Invite me? Don't forget, if I didn't deliberately Lower Luo Fei's score, Luo Fei is now the champion."

"What's the matter with the championship, Mr. Shi, you and I know it well. Even if you don't lower the score, the program team will have other arrangements. You are just being used by others." Li Jin glanced at Luo Fei, who pouted at him.

The cause and effect were right and wrong, and Li Jin had already explained it to Luo Fei afterwards.Although Luo Fei was still a little awkward in his heart, he trusted Li Jin and believed that Li Jin would not harm him, so he adjusted himself and turned over this page.

It was Shi Dongning... Li Jin looked at the man's expression and felt that he was not as calm as Luo Fei. It had been a month, but when he mentioned this matter, his expression was still stiff, as if he was struggling to suppress his self-blame.

Li Jin smiled inwardly, and then asked, "Why did Teacher Shi sell the house?"

"Oh," Shi Dongning said with a smile, having already realized it now, "Why do you ask why you know it?"

"Shu Mu promised you that as long as you intentionally lower Luo Fei's score in the final, he will give you a sum of money to fill in the hole in the studio." Li Jin put the cup in his hand on the tea table and said lightly, "You know that he just wants to use you to divert the attention of the media, and transfer the audience's hatred for him to you, but for your studio, you still agreed."

Luo Fei had never heard of this matter before, and when he heard it suddenly, he immediately straightened up. His first reaction was not that Shi Dongning compromised, but that the villain Shu Mu acted so lowly.

Shi Dongning looked at his eyes and guessed his thoughts. He felt a little relieved, but blamed himself even more: "The music studio is my painstaking effort and dream for many years. Because of this studio, I, and many others Musicians can freely create music without any worries. If the studio is gone, many people's dreams will be shattered. So I think, since Luo Fei will definitely not win the championship, then this I'll be a villain, at least it can be worth something, but I didn't expect that the feeling of being a villain is so bad..." He forced a smile at Luo Fei, "You can say that I am selfish, I accept, I am indeed - a selfish person profitable people."

"No, Teacher Shi, you..." Luo Fei hurriedly said.

"Then why are you still selling the house now?" Li Jin interrupted him, "Shu Mu doesn't need to break his promise for this matter, could it be that...he didn't give enough money?"

"Enough, but only enough to fill the loopholes in the studio." Shi Dongning said, "People say that I am a genius in music, but they don't know that I am a complete fool in other aspects. Especially financial, I don't understand, I didn't bother to care about it, and left it to the accountant to worry about. On the day the finals ended, the accountant disappeared with all the company's funds. Li Jin, you know, it's all. I'm only one step away from bankruptcy now. A little money is just a drop in the bucket, and if you don’t sell the house, what else can you do?”

Li Jin frowned slightly, and pondered: "You mean, on the day of the finals, the accountant disappeared with all your belongings...Did you call the police?"

Shi Dongning nodded.

But it's useless. In the end of this kind of case, even if the murderer is recovered, the money will probably be gone.

"It's a strange thing." Li Jin pointed, "Could it be that...someone is behind..."

"I never speculate on others randomly." Shi Dongning interrupted him decisively, "Without evidence, I will not speculate on others casually."

Li Jin made a slip of the tongue, smiled apologetically, and said, "Teacher Shi, don't worry, you will come back after all the money is gone, it should be yours, and you will return to your side sooner or later. The most important thing now is to get through this predicament." He took out a folder from his purse, opened it, and handed it to Shi Dongning, "This is the new 'Producer Cooperation Plan' launched by Yige Company, which mainly invites experienced music producers in the industry to work with us to create The album of our singer. The first co-producer, we hope to invite you."

Shi Dongning changed his sitting position and was already very interested: "How to cooperate?"

"There are many ways to cooperate, but since the studio is in trouble right now, I think that, as a partner, Yige Company can inject capital into the studio, first to help it tide over the difficulties, and then..." Li Jin suggested.

"This is not a small amount of money, did Qin Yige get rich?" Shi Dongning asked.

"Director Qin went to the United States after the competition, and hasn't come back yet. Right now, Bei Fuming is taking care of the company's affairs." Li Jin smiled, "I have discussed with him in advance, and the money should be paid by Luo Fei and Qi Yichen. We will pay the album production fee first, and I hope that Mr. Shi will not refuse, and can take more care to help our artists make a well-received and profitable debut album."

The production fee for the album is far from being able to spend so much money, and Yige Company has such a strong friendship.Shi Dongning was so affectionate, his lips trembled for a while, and then he said hoarsely: "This... I will naturally not refuse."

Li Jin glanced at Luo Fei with a smile, Luo Fei smiled even more happily, and blurted out: "That's great, Teacher Shi doesn't have to sell the house now!"

"Didn't you just say that the transportation in the city is convenient, and the supermarket is so convenient to buy supper?" Shi Dongning calmed down his emotions and teased him.

"But there is also a lot of smog in the city." Luo Fei stretched his neck and argued.

The three of them laughed, and the matter was settled.

To release an album, Luo Fei and Shi Dongning still have a lot to work on.So Li Jin left Luo Fei with Shi Dongning for three days, and told Shi Dongning to start with music theory again and make up for common sense.He took the first step and continued to return to the company for his life.

Just as he walked out of Shi Dongning's courtyard, the phone rang suddenly.

Li Jin took out his mobile phone, only saw the number, and a smile appeared on his lips like smeared with honey.

"Hello?" He pressed the answer button and said softly.

"Are you done?" The voice over there was gentle and inclusive as usual, and the familiar voice was transmitted to the ears through electromagnetic waves, making people enjoy it numbly.

Li Jin's smile deepened, and he replied, "I'm done."

"Then do you remember what we are going to do next?" The voice over there was also smiling.

"Remember." Li Jin took out the keys and said as he walked towards the car door, "We want to..."

Stopped abruptly.

He completely forgot to say the next words, and there was no need to say them.

A pure black Lexus sedan slowly stopped in front of him, the windows were lowered, revealing Li Yiheng's smiling face.

"Then you're not in the car yet?"

On the phone, within a short distance, the man held up his mobile phone and said to himself.
