two years ago
As soon as the snow melted in early spring, the Loptr band finally recovered from the intense schedule. The operator showed mercy and gave the members a week's rest. Sheng Kongzhi and Ji Sheng walked back to Qingchu stepping on the melted snow.
"Good guy, it's such a mess." Ji Sheng entered Li Tan's office and was startled by the boxes all over the floor.
But no matter how surprised he was, he couldn't stop his desire to rest, so Ji Sheng jumped over the debris on the ground two or three times, and jumped to the edge of the sofa to nest up.
"I'm about to move the company, I'm busy packing things, bear with it." Li Tan closed the door, "Kong Zhi also sits."
Sheng Kongzhi bypassed the obstacle and sat down on another sofa.
"Tsk tsk, I haven't been back for a long time, and Qingchu is about to move out." Ji Sheng sighed, "Where are you moving?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier? What a surprise." Li Tan leaned on his desk and laughed. The chairs in the office were removed, and Sheng Kong knew Ji Sheng was sitting on the only sofa, so he could only lean on the table and casually report the address.
"Central area!" Ji Sheng's eyes lit up, "You're getting rich, Brother Tan."
"You earn a lot." Li Tan smiled, "With the investment of a few big bosses, you can barely enter the central area."
Ji Sheng and Sheng Kongzhi have double contracts, one with the band's operating company and one with Qing. Most of their share in the limited group is distributed to Qing Chu by the operating company, and then Qing Chu distributes it to the two on the settlement day.
The settlement date has not yet arrived, and Ji Sheng has not even seen a Gabang now, and naturally he has no concept of earning more or less. At this moment, he heard that he and Sheng Kongzhi actually earned a building for Qing Chu in just a few months , was too pleasantly surprised.
Ji Sheng was excited for a while, and suddenly remembered the purpose of his return this time: "By the way, Brother Tan, when will we start the tour? Hemei has recently relaxed the restrictions and allowed members to take jobs alone."
Harmony Entertainment, the partner of KUZI, the operating company of the Loptr band.
"Not now." Li Tan didn't even want to say, "Let's talk about it when you come back from disbandment. Now that you are on tour, you are giving money to Harmony Entertainment."
Mentioning this, Li Tan's face became gloomy: "Hemei, a ghost who eats food, signed an agreement with Jinlai Company to allow parallel operations, and the tour revenue is fifty-five cents, and we are talking about lions, 8291 The allocation amount is ashamed to say, and it is sure that the capital will come and go to bargain."
Ji Sheng stopped talking.
He debuted for three or two months, and he realized more and more that the brilliance of the entertainment industry is only on the surface, and the invisible capital underneath is surging, and the shattered ice and debris are flying between the collisions, showing the cruelty to the fullest.
Ji Sheng doesn't want to get close to this dirty dark river, but the reality is that he is inevitably being involved step by step.
The atmosphere in the office was quite low.
The three of you all crawled out of the small rented house underground. Who knows that since then, Qing De has been obsessed with the album tour... Now his dream is within reach, but he has to stop because of the contract benefits.
Standing in place and looking forward to the beauty separated by a wall, how can I feel better.
Li Tan picked up the cigarette case on the desk, smoked one, and was reminded by Sheng Kongzhi before taking two puffs.
"Brother Tang, this is indoors."
Li Tan waved his hand to show he knew, took another puff irritably, and pinched the cigarette in the ashtray.
"One and a half years." With reddish eyes, he said ruthlessly, "You and Kazumi's contract is one and a half years, and there is less than one year left. When it is over, we will use the money we earn to go on tour. Xiaoji plays drums, Sorachi, and bass. Get those two boys Su Jing and Xie Xuanming back, and I will go up and show my ugly hands, we drove from Harbin to Hainan, and drove him for half a year and a month."
Sheng Kongzhi and Ji Sheng looked at each other, and they both saw light in each other's eyes. They nodded and said, "OK."
Sheng Kongzhi and Ji Sheng came out of Li Tan's office and bumped into Li Tan's younger brother Li Mi head-on.
Li Mi was the trigger that led to Qingchu's disbandment back then. Li Tan used all his wealth to get him out of the loan sharks, and forced him to finish college. After graduation, he begged everywhere to find a job for his unfortunate brother Work.
It's a pity that this Li Mi is a natural waste. He complains all day long because he hates this bitterness and that tiredness. He treats his hard-won job by fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and he is fired after a while. Li Tan had no choice but to drag him out of Qingqing, give him an unimportant position, and let him hang around for fun.
Fortunately, although this brother is lazy and useless, he is still a bit talented in interpersonal communication. He has been in Qingchu for half a year, and he unexpectedly got some investment.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Li Mi's eyes lit up, and he went up to greet them enthusiastically: "Oh, two big stars, long time no see, why don't you have time to go back to your mother's house?"
"Hemei is on vacation." Sheng Kongzhi said.
"Oh, then you have to take a good rest. I read your itinerary, tsk, that's really treating people like donkeys." Li Mi said, "By the way, we are already dealing with your harassing phone calls."
Sheng Kongzhi has always been harassed by an enthusiastic fan recently. The person called in the early morning and didn't say anything. Recently, he tried to follow the car and almost hit Loptr's nanny car.
"Tsk tsk. Hemei is really not a man." Li Mi shook his head, "The matter of making money has nothing to do with Qing's work, but when we contribute, we will think of us."
"Thank you." Sheng Kongzhi smiled politely.
Just as Ji Sheng frowned, he saw Li Mi smiled and said "no hard work", then turned his head and put his shoulder on his shoulder, and asked earnestly, "By the way, Brother Ji, your birthday is coming, what are you going to do?"
Ji Sheng's birthday is in the middle of the year, and there is still a certain amount of time before "coming soon", but Hemei shows mercy not to occupy his birthday party, and gives the autonomy to him and Qingchu.
Ji Sheng struggled a few times under Li Mi's hands. He didn't like this gambler and loser, but Li Mi was Li Tan's younger brother, so he had to show some face.
What's more, what to do with birthdays is indeed a problem.
There are still more than two months until Ji Sheng's birthday, but as the traffic has exploded recently, no matter the fan marketing account or black fans, they are all staring at Ji Sheng's birthday party with wide eyes, and there is no surprise or confusion. will be let off.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the true meaning of birthdays is no longer celebrating, but whether they can be passed smoothly.
In terms of emotion and reason, birthday parties have to be well organized.
In this way, the planning time of two months even seemed a bit hasty.
"I plan to hold a small show to give back to my fans." Ji Sheng had already had an idea, "I have been running a variety show schedule for a few months since my debut, and many fans have commented on my Weibo that they want to see the stage. Many, it would be nice to rent a venue for a birthday party.”
"Okay, does Brother Ji have a promising venue?"
"The venue doesn't matter... as long as there is a place to play the drums."
"That's it." Li Mi nodded, "Then I'll go choose the venue and send you the plan when the time comes, and you can decide."
"Ok."
"Where are the guests?" Li Mi asked again, "I think other people's birthday parties will invite one or two guests. Brother Ji, do you have this idea?"
"I'm a guest." Sheng Kongzhi interrupted the conversation.
"Brother Sheng has no schedule?" Li Mi looked over and asked in surprise. Hemei's schedule for the limited band is horribly dense. After reading Loptr's schedule, Li Mi has no doubt that Sheng Kongzhi won't even be free for one night.
"I'll push it down," Sheng Kongzhi smiled, "what's more important than Xiaosheng's birthday?"
A little bit of frustration in Ji Sheng's heart disappeared with this one laugh, he lightly punched Sheng Kongzhi, and said with a low smile, "You bastard".
Li Mi knew how to look, and he said wittily: "My brother is still waiting for me, I will withdraw first, brother Ji, if you have other things, you can find me on WeChat."
After speaking, he opened the door and entered Li Tan's office.
Sheng Kongzhi and Ji Sheng walked out slowly.
It's been a long time since Sheng Kongzhi and Ji Sheng walked side by side like this. After their debut, they always looked hurried, and even eye contact became a luxurious intimacy.
At this moment, the two were walking quietly in the narrow space. Sheng Kongzhi was a little distracted. He tentatively reached out to hook Jisheng's fingertips, but he suddenly said, "Say, will Xiao Xie accept the invitation?"
Sheng Kongzhi paused, and put his hands back into his pockets: "Birthday party?"
"Ok."
"It's more difficult." Sheng Kongzhi said, "He is very busy, filming or something."
"That's true..." Ji Sheng said.
He hadn't seen Xie Xuanming for a long time. Xie Xuanming's presence on the set was as if he had evaporated from the world.
But Ji Sheng still wanted to invite him to the birthday party.
"And he has signed a company, right? Will Xiaoxie's company allow him to participate in other company's activities for nothing? And... your fans seem to have conflicts with Xiaoxie's fans. Will they want to see Xiaoxie on your birthday?"
Sheng Kong knew everything was in order, and finally asked,
"Do you still want to ask Xiaoxie?"
Ji Sheng was silent, he walked forward slowly, silent for a while and said: "Let's have a look again."
In the evening, Ji Sheng sat on the drum stool in the underground practice room, practicing the basic snare drum almost venting.
He kept on beating, and the drum beats hit the soundproof wall intensively, making people breathless.
After beating for an unknown amount of time, Ji Sheng got a little hot. He stopped beating, tore off his shirt two or three times, and threw it on the ground casually.
The little assistant who was videotaping next to him gasped, his face turned red, and he glanced around.
Ji Sheng hit the finishing touch hard, took a sip from the water bottle on the ground, and said angrily, "Why are you so blushing?"
"My man also thinks you are sexy, brother Ji!" The little assistant was confident.
Ji Sheng was too lazy to talk to him, so he swallowed his water and raised his chin: "Is the recording finished?"
The business regulations specified by Harmony Entertainment for Loptr members, how many Weibo fans to post, the amount of small video selfies... are all required.
Even vacations are no exception.
Ji Sheng hates this kind of hard task, but the assistant has to work, and the fans really want to see the idol, so his dislike is insignificant.
So the little assistant is permanently stationed in his practice room.
At this moment, the little assistant had already shot enough material, gestured an OK gesture, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji is so handsome, this post will increase his fans again."
"Okay, okay." Ji Sheng waved his hand, "Stop bragging, and take a rest after filming, it's late."
The little assistant packed up his things with a smile, and asked, "Won't Brother Ji come with me?"
"I'll stay a little longer, you go first."
The little assistant left.
Ji Sheng took another two sips, threw the empty water bottle into the trash can, and lay down on the spot.
He looked at the ceiling, and his naked skin couldn't help but get goosebumps from the cold concrete floor.
Ji Sheng lay motionless on the ground, covered his face with a towel, his chest rose and fell steadily with his breathing.
He lay down for a while, then jumped up suddenly, picked up the phone on the table as if deciding something, and made a call.
The call went on for a long time, Ji Sheng waited impatiently, and when he was about to hang up automatically, he finally got through.
"Hello." Ji Sheng heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, and lay down again, looking at the ceiling lights, "Good evening."
"Good evening." Xie Xuanming said.
"Is the filming going well?"
"It went well."
"Oh, that's good."
After the dry greeting, there was an awkward silence.
Ji Sheng rubbed his face and took a deep breath.
"It's my birthday in two months, and I'm going to hold a small meet-and-greet with drumming and singing..." He mumbled in one breath, feeling confused.
"Ok."
"Are you coming?" After speaking, Ji Sheng waited a little nervously.
There was silence for two seconds: "Do you want me to come?"
"Of course." Ji Sheng didn't hesitate.
"..."
"Where and when?"
Ji Sheng was stunned for a second, and the corners of his lips parted uncontrollably, revealing his first genuine smile today. He turned over, sat up on his knees, and briskly said, "It's still not decided yet, I'll give you news when the time comes."
"it is good."
