Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 126

On April [-]th, Yu Dongqing finally embarked on a journey to Hangzhou with a backpack on her back.

He did not take a direct flight to Hangzhou, nor did he choose the high-speed rail, but chose the ordinary train soft sleeper. He likes this kind of slower-paced transportation.

Sitting by the car window, looking at the passing scenery outside, listening to the rhythmic "clang clang clang" sound, is actually a very poetic feeling.

Besides, it's spring now.

Misty rain falls to the south of the Yangtze River.

Now Yu Dongqing is sitting on the lower bunk, looking at the scenery outside, it is not misty and rainy outside, but the setting sun is like fire, and the train is still driving on the vast North China Plain.

I am in a very good mood.

However, before he left, he received a call from Wu Lan, which made him a little upset, insisting that he be the judge of this year's "Happy Girls".

"Happy Girls" is a large-scale talent show jointly launched by Huangdu TV Station and Jinye Records. It is held every year, very similar to "Super Girls" on Mango Channel in that time and space.

The whole country is divided into six constituencies. After the contestants are selected by PK in the constituencies, they enter the finals, and after a series of competitions, the top three are finally determined.

The remuneration for Yu Dongqing is not low, 20 per show, which can be said to be the remuneration for a first-line music critic.

But Yu Dongqing was not very interested.

Didn't this kind of judges or music critics have worked in the original time and space before? The contestants are competing for eyeballs, so why aren't the judges?
Sometimes there is a shady scene—in fact, it is not a shady scene, all kinds of human interactions.

The judges are not gods who don't eat fireworks in the world. They all have their own friends and friends. If something comes to you, what should you do?
It's not that there is a unified answer for the college entrance examination. You said that she sang like shit, I think it's pretty sweet.

It's really boring.

But Wu Lan is an old classmate after all, and he has a good relationship in private, and this is a talent show that Jinye Records participated in. It is considered his former employer, so it is not good to refuse directly.What's more, Jin Yunfeng of Huangdu TV Station, the other party of the competition organization, has a good relationship with him.

Face has to be given, so Yu Dongqing agreed to only participate in the final stage of the judges to score, anyway, there are not many games, Wu Lan finally agreed.

The train Yu Dongqing took departed from Yanjing at around 08:30 p.m. and arrived in Hangzhou at around [-]:[-] the next morning.

After leaving the station, Yu Dongqing saw a huge billboard on the side of the road: West Lake Music Festival, the location is the lawn of Willow Singing Orioles beside the West Lake.

Yu Dongqing knew about this a long time ago.

Just half a month ago, their Qingmanshoe band received an invitation letter from the organizing committee of the West Lake Music Festival, inviting them to participate in the music festival, but they declined.

The four of them, except Yu Dongqing, are considered members of the music circle, the other three have long since faded out, and now they are all for fun, and it is good to sing and have fun together once in a while. I didn't expect to take a career path, not to mention that each has a lot of things to do. Out of time?
In fact, this is not the first time that Yu Dongqing and the others have refused to perform, including Yu Dongqing himself, and he does not want to participate in these commercial performances.

I am not short of money now, so there is no need to run around for it.

As for showing your face to increase exposure?
There's no need for that, and I'm not a traffic star.

Yu Dongqing got out of the car, followed the navigation on her mobile phone, took the subway and changed to a bus, and went straight to her destination - Hupao Spring.

Hupao Spring is located in the south of the West Lake, in the Dinghui Temple of Daci Mountain. The spring water seeps through the quartz sandstone and flows out. It is crystal clear, sweet and mellow, and is known as "the third spring in the world".

There is a saying in Hangzhou: "Longjing tea and Hupao water", Longjing tea and Hupao water are known as "the best of both West Lake".

Of course, Yu Dongqing knew that he was not qualified to talk about Buddhism, chant scriptures, drink tea and discuss Zen with the eminent monks in the temple. He went to find a tea house called Cuncunpu, which was near Dinghui Temple.

The owner of the tea house is a friend of Zhang Yang, and he also strongly recommends him to grow tea, make tea, sell tea and tea sets, and provide one-stop service.

The first new tea that Zhang Yang brought some time ago came from this tea house.

The owner of the tea house, surnamed Yang, is Yang Yixin. He is a native of the country. He is about 40 years old and has a thin body.

He had received a call from Zhang Yang a long time ago, and when he saw Yu Dongqing coming, he smiled and led him to live in a nearby homestay. After Yu Dongqing washed up briefly, he took him back to his tea house and wanted to give him the tea in person. Make tea.

"Boss Yang, you don't have to be too polite, you are busy with your work." Yu Dongqing said hastily.

Yang Yixin didn't insist, he smiled and said that you can come to me directly if you need anything, and then left.

Yu Dongqing sat on a rattan chair in the small yard and boiled water first, but boiling water is not suitable for Longjing tea, and hot water around 80 degrees is most suitable.

Boil the water, then let it dry for three to five minutes, pour a small amount of hot water into the glass, then throw in the tea leaves, and then flush the water until it is 5% full.

Looking at the bright green tea leaves, smelling the fresh and tender aroma, Yu Dongqing was full of joy, and taking another sip of the tea, which tasted fresh and sweet, Yu Dongqing felt unreasonably satisfied.

Nothing to think about, nothing to do, just sit on the rattan chair in the small courtyard, enjoy the spring sunshine, and take a sip of green tea. There is nothing more joyful in life than this.

Stealing half a day's leisure in a floating life, life is full of joy.

That's probably what it means, right?

However, before enjoying a cup of tea, the phone rang.

It's hard to be disturbed at this time, who doesn't have eyes?
Yu Dongqing frowned and took it out to have a look, oh, it's Zhang Yang calling.

He had to answer, Yu Dongqing pressed the answer button.

"Are you at the tea house?"

"Here we are, the environment here is good, very suitable for cultivation. Zhang Yang, why don't you come and stay for two days?" Yu Dongqing asked lazily, leaning on the wicker chair with a teacup in hand.

"Forget it, I'd rather go to Maotai Town for vacation and smell the smell of wine every day than go there with you. I don't have your leisurely mood. Hey, Dongqing, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Did Wu Lan invite you to be a judge of this year's "Happy Girls"?"

It spread so quickly?Yu Dongqing was a little surprised.

"How do you know? Wu Lan told you?"

"No, I guessed it. You are a famous musician now, and your popularity is so high. Why didn't Wu Lan come to you for such a thing?"

"Okay. Don't put a high hat on me, Wu Lan is looking for me. Hey, what's the big deal?"

"It's not a big deal. I have a friend's daughter who is also participating in this year's Happy Girls Competition. It's in our Yanjing competition area. I'm asking if there are any acquaintances I know."

"Is this the case? You might as well go to Wu Lan for this matter. I only allow her to be a judge in the final stage, and she is one of the main organizers of the competition, participating from the beginning to the end." Yu Dongqing smiled road.

"It's just ordinary friends. It hasn't reached that point yet. I just ask casually."

"I see, the terms of reference and so on, I will help if I can help." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Hehe, let's see if that girl can make it to the finals. If it's really necessary, I'll tell you."

"it is good"

The two chatted for a few words and hung up the phone.

A wry smile appeared on Yu Dongqing's face.

This hasn't even started, but the favor call came?
Forget it, don't think about it, it's still comfortable to drink tea.

Yu Dongqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then turned off the phone directly.

　Thanks to mfive for the reward, and thanks to Shudan Dashen and others for the monthly pass.
