Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 22 Newspaper Covers
The morning sun fell straight down, illuminating the billboards all over the street, Lao Zhou hummed a little song, and opened the door of the newsstand swiftly.

He turned on the tape recorder, touched a tape in the box next to it which was full of various tapes, and inserted it into the tape recorder.

sizzle sizzle...

The tape recorder made a crackling sound at first, and then began to rotate.

dong dong dong...

Accompanied by a melodious flute sound, the music began to sound.

【Hi ha, hi ha, hi ha...】

【Heaven and earth pass by in a hurry】

【The tide rises and falls】

【Enthusiasm, resentment, life and death, baldness】

【How many people can see through】

……

Through the radio, Ye Qianwen's loud voice began to come out.

Since the song "Let's Go Back" was broadcast last year as the TV series "Four Young Masters in Beijing", it has become popular in the entire Chinese-speaking region with lightning speed.

Ye Qianwen also relied on this song to become the hottest female singer in the current Chinese music scene.

For a middle-aged rough man like Lao Zhou, this song "Walking in a Cool Way" is simply a divine comedy in a song, which made him want to listen to it again after listening to it.

Listening to the song, Lao Zhou began to move newspapers and magazines to the wooden board at the door.

Many of these newspapers and magazines have expired, but usually there will be many customers who missed the release day to buy.

After arranging the magazines and newspapers neatly, Lao Zhou moved an armchair and lay down, waiting for the guests and today's newspapers to be delivered to his door.

As the sun in the sky gradually rose, the number of people on the street gradually increased, and a few guests came to the door, but they were all people who wanted the latest newspapers. Lao Zhou didn't have any, so they could only leave regretfully.

Finally, after sending away another customer who bought the newspaper of the day but was out of stock, today's newspaper delivery truck finally arrived late.

"Why is it so late today, I have missed a lot of guests!"

Lao Zhou complained while helping to move the goods down.

"We can't blame us. These newspapers are delaying the time. It is said that the article was temporarily changed last night!"

The delivery boy said helplessly.

Hearing this, Lao Zhou's eyes lit up, "Could it be that there is big news?"

After selling newspapers for more than ten years, Lao Zhou is too familiar with the operating procedures of major newspapers.

In order to pursue the timeliness of news, many newspaper offices publish the news of the day on the same night, and then sell it to their distributors, the newsstands, the next day.

Among them, there will also be unexpected situations. For example, if there is a topical news temporarily in the evening yesterday, the newspaper office will temporarily change the manuscript and print it.

Although draft revision is a very simple word, its procedure is quite troublesome.

It is necessary for the newspaper office to work overtime to rearrange the layout of the newspaper, brush out unattractive news and replace it with more attractive news.

Every time a newspaper office revises its manuscript, it will affect the newspaper printing of the manufacturer, and at the same time, it will also lead to a slow delivery of newspapers.

However, although the delivery truck will be late every time this happens, Lao Zhou likes this situation very much.

He can't wait for the newspaper to revise the manuscript every day.

Because this means that there is big news, even if it is not big news, it will be more attractive news.

This kind of news often attracts many people to buy newspapers, which doubles his income for the day.

"I don't know if it's big news, but I heard that a new singer has debuted. Their company has made great efforts, and many newspapers have published his news."

The delivery guy put the last stack of newspapers on the ground and said while walking towards the driver's seat.

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhou was a little disappointed.

He also knew that the record company bought the news section of the newspaper in order to promote newcomers.

Of course, very hot newcomers are indispensable, such as Aaron Kwok and Jimmy Lin last time.

That time he made a lot of money because of these two people.

But there are too few popular people like them. Most of the time, the newcomers launched by these record companies basically fail to attract much attention.

Therefore, Lao Zhou was very disappointed. He thought that he would meet this kind of newcomer who rushed to the street after his debut.

However, Lao Zhou's thinking changed immediately after he unpacked the stacks of newspapers.

Because, he found that the guy named Chen Qiming seemed to be a bit extraordinary.

He flipped through more than a dozen different newspapers, and found that the covers of these newspapers were all Chen Qiming.

"Aaron Kwok Concert, Junior Brother Chen Qiming Strongly Steals the Show"

"A piece of "Princess" amazed everyone, causing countless fans to sang in chorus"

"Chen Qiming, a strong newcomer who combines creation, singing and handsome appearance"

"careful!After the little whirlwind Jimmy Lin, another gust of wind is about to sweep the Taiwan music scene"

Good guy, Lao Zhou was shocked after reading these headlines.

He remembered that the last time a newcomer occupied the headlines and covers of major newspapers, it seemed to be Aaron Kwok!

Even Jimmy Lin, before his record started to gain momentum, although he was promoted in the news, he hadn't been this powerful yet.

"Wow! Boss, who is this man? He's so handsome!"

Lao Zhou was still sighing, when suddenly a guest came.

It's a few little girls.

"My God! So handsome!"

"I have decided that besides the Little Tigers and Jimmy Lin, I will add one more fan, and that is Chen Qiming."

Before Lao Zhou could react, a few girls began chattering, and each of the girls held a newspaper in their hands, looking nympho.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Seeing this, Lao Zhou's business cells suddenly started to explode. He pointed to the handsome Chen Qiming in the newspaper and said:
"This person is incredible. He sang "Princess" and made more than 1 people cry. It is said that he robbed all of Aaron Kwok's fans at Aaron Kwok's concert! It's really amazing. I sell newspapers like this. This is the first time I have met such a powerful person in many years!"

"Really?" The little girls obviously didn't believe it.

"It's true, see for yourself! Being so handsome and able to sing, isn't it very worthy of your fans?"

Lao Zhou's face was stern, as if I lied and hit five thunderbolts.

Afterwards, he smiled and said, "Would you like some more? The photo above is an out-of-print cover, and there won't be any in the future. You just take this opportunity to collect a few more!"

Lao Zhou's newsstand not only sells newspapers, but also records and tapes, so he is really very familiar with these little girls.

They will spend all their money in order to be fans of idols.

Let's just say Tigers fans.

They would come to their newspaper every day to browse, just to find the newspaper with the pictures of the Little Tigers.

After finding them, they would buy the newspapers and take them home, cut out the photos from the newspapers and stick them on their bedsides.

Some fans even skipped class for a day to find some out-of-print photos and posters, squatting outside his newsstand to search.

"Do you want it?"

"I don't care about you guys, anyway, I think it's too handsome, I want one!"

"Me too, so handsome, I don't know if I can see him again in the future. From now on, he will be my boyfriend."

Several little girls discussed it, and then one of them bought three newspapers with different photos from Lao Zhou.

No, in the eyes of Lao Zhou, this is a newspaper, but in the eyes of these little girls, this is their husband, their boyfriend.
