Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 253 "While we are not too old, we have a little money and a little time."

"As you all know, my parents used to be employees of state-owned enterprises. My father was optimistic by nature and liked literature and art. Although he was only a fitter, he liked to play, play, play and sing since he was a child. , He never misses the cultural activities in the factory."

"In the mid-90s of last century, the factory's efficiency was not good, and the two of them were laid off collectively. That's when I went to high school."

"To make a living, my father rides a tricycle, and my mother sews clothes for others. To save money, I secretly went to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetables when it was dark when no one was watching."

"Although life is very difficult, my dad is still very optimistic. He goes home after being tired every day, smoking a cigarette and playing dobra for a while. I like playing bass, which is influenced by my dad."

Zhang Yang spoke slowly.

Yu Dongqing and the others listened quietly.

"Life got better later on, and my dad got older, but his hobby of literature and art has not changed. I heard from my mother that he wanted to organize a literature and art team ten years ago, and he could even travel around, but because of this That reason did not materialize, and it has become his lifelong regret."

"My mother said that my father is active in thinking, not only likes literature and art, but also likes to run around.

I want to go to Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Xiangjiang to take a look. Unfortunately, I was limited by conditions when I was young, so I can only think about it.Later, my life got better, but there were always things like this that I couldn't move forward. "

"Think about it. Anyway, I'm not too old, and my body is still strong. If I can't go this year, I will go next year. It's like this for a year, and it doesn't work out."

"A person's life is long and short, and human life is also very fragile. No one can tell when tomorrow will come. Just like my dad."

"So what I mean is, while we are not too old, we still have a little money and time to do what we want to do, so as to avoid eternal regret like my dad."

The people fell silent after hearing this.

Finally Liu Yimin broke the silence.

"I said what I wanted to do—I wanted to do a tour."

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he looked at everyone and continued: "Actually, you all know that since we organized a band to perform in class for the first time in college, I have had this idea. Let’s go on tour and let more people hear my songs—I still think so.”

"Of course it was just a dream in college. After graduating from college, the disbandment of the band made me feel hopeless. I felt that this dream would never come true. So I opened Ten Miles of Peach Blossom Tavern - it feels closer to the music I like. "

"But the regrouping of Qingmanshoes in the past two years gave me hope. Just like what Zhang Yang said just now: while we are not too old, with a little money and a little time, I want to realize this dream!"

Liu Yimin usually doesn't talk much, but today he uttered such a long paragraph at once, and he really spoke his mind.

"Just sing it. My dad couldn't finish it, I think I will do it." Zhang Yang said, his eyes were a little red.

"Okay, sing!" Du Hui spoke crisply.

All three looked at Yu Dongqing.

"Let's sing then, go to the city we want to go to, and sing the song we like!" Yu Dongqing made the final decision.

The four old men stopped fishing and discussed it in the room. It was not until dusk that everyone drove back to the city to go home.

The next morning, Yu Dongqing went out of her way to go for a run by the Rending Lake or play chess with a group of elders, but drove to Jingyuan early and came to her studio.

"Oh, it's rare to come here so early today." Luo Yun looked surprised, and the staff in the studio were also secretly surprised when they saw Yu Dongqing.

The boss has always been indifferent, sometimes Sister Luo called and urged her several times but refused to come, why is she so active today?

Yu Dongqing didn't say much, went into Luo Yun's office, and handed her a few pieces of paper.

"what is this?"

Luo Yun was a little curious, took it over and looked at it, and saw the title: "One Song in One City—Proposal for the Tour Concert of Qingmangshoe Band"!
"Holly, are you really going on tour?" Luo Yun was surprised and delighted.

"Well, this was discussed when we went fishing in Wild Duck Lake yesterday." Yu Dongqing sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "We are not too old, and we still have a little money and time to go to the city we want to go, sing about us Favorite song!"

"Okay. You decide which city you want to go to and what song to sing, and I will do the rest." Luo Yun spoke crisply.

"We have already determined the city, you can see if it works."

Luo Yun turned to the second page and glanced, suddenly the last one on the list was Chengdu!
Chengdu? !
Luo Yun suddenly thought of that beautiful girl named Chen Guoguo.

Yu Dongqing wouldn't go to Chengdu just for that girl, would he?

Not necessarily.

After all, Chengdu is a city full of literature and art.

However, who knows.

Some people say that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea.

In fact, a man's heart, especially a middle-aged man's heart, is also difficult to guess.

But this is not what Luo Yun thinks about, as an agent, how to do this well now.

"Why don't you choose a large venue like a stadium instead of a medium-sized venue like a Live House? Are you still worried that no one will buy your tickets?"

"Look at the sales of your first album, and you know that doesn't exist."

Luo Yun said.

At the beginning of April, Qingmansue Band released their first album "Wild Lily Also Has Spring". As of last week, physical sales have reached a terrifying 110 million copies, making it the album with the highest physical sales in the past ten years!
The number of digital albums on the Internet has also reached a terrifying 8100 million. Of course, there is still a gap between the popular traffic niche Cai Qingxin's 1.4 million.

The fans of the Qingmanshoe band are older, and there are fewer fans who have bought hundreds of digital albums in one go in order to hit the charts for their idols.

In fact, Yu Dongqing didn't think about this. He said after listening, "Luo Yun, to be honest, the tour we do is not for making money, but to satisfy a wish when we were young. A medium-sized Live House is enough. If we hold a large-scale concert , you have more things to do as an agent, and you are under a lot of pressure."

After all, the difficulty of work increases exponentially between a stadium with tens of thousands of people and a Live House with 2000 people.

"You don't have to worry about me." Luo Yun replied quickly: "If you don't want to choose a stadium that can accommodate 5 to [-] people like Gongti, I suggest choosing a venue that can accommodate [-] people like Wukesong Stadium is also good."

Luo Yun made her own suggestion.

Yu Dongqing thought for a while: "Okay, then do as you want."

"As for the guest singer, who do you want to invite? Wu Jingqi? I think she will definitely come."

Yu Dongqing glared at her before saying: "I don't plan to invite many guests to sing, Guo Xin, Zhang Bao, and Yawen from our studio. But in Yanjing, I will invite Lu Ping's Hua Bangzi Band."

"Okay. You're not going to waste money on outsiders, and you're increasing their popularity. That's it!" Luo Yunjiao laughed.
