After watching Qin Xizhen's concert that day, the weather was very cold. The lowest temperature in Nanzhou in December was four or five degrees. Everyone's nose was red, and there were crowds of people everywhere outside the Nanzhou Gymnasium. However, under such circumstances, we still met up with Liu Wenyi and others from Zhang Jing's dormitory at the agreed retreat point.
Everyone was walking outside. At this time, the traffic was congested. Looking around, some of the evacuated people gathered at the hotel building next to the stadium. There were crowds of people there.
"It is said that Qin Xizhen is staying in that hotel. Now hundreds of fans are blocking outside, hoping to see her, but usually you can't see anyone like this." Wang Xinbo's girlfriend Gao Yue is obviously more aware of the situation. Some of her classmates in the Foreign Languages College are members of the fan club and die-hard fans. Some of them even hold banners to pick her up at the airport. They also participated in post-concert activities like today and heard a lot about things in the circle.
The popularity of stars these days is very long-lasting. There is a word that can be studied: "national character". Some stars can be popular for more than ten or twenty years, such as the era of the Four Heavenly Kings, such as the song "Bai Suzhen under the Qingcheng Mountain" that everyone can hum, and now Qin Xizhen can be easily named "Little Queen". In the future, in the era of information explosion and highly developed information, various traffic diversions will gradually lose this national character, and there will be more market segments. In a few months, you will find that you don’t know the people who suddenly became popular. There are rarely any such words as "national responsibility". There are many things you like that I don’t like, and most of them are only known by the fan circle, and passers-by may not be interested.
Of course, the entertainment of the future will be diversified, which is very different from the current situation where spiritual civilization has just been developed. However, if a star can be popular for a relatively long time, it does not mean that he will always be popular. A star cannot rely on his face and the opportunity to arouse the public's nerves. More often, he still needs to polish and temper himself. Actors should focus on acting, and singers should focus on making music, so that they are likely to withstand the erosion of time.
If Qin Xizhen can calm down and make in-depth explorations in her profession and field, not only will she leave her name in the field of music that she is good at, but she may also be able to withstand the test of the times. Her new works will guide the trend, and her past works will become classics. Then this kind of popularity may not be very purple, but it will have a large base, like the winter sun, which is not scorching, but for the earth, it is in the sky, right there.
Of course, her restless heart now hopes to gain the right to establish her own school in the industry.
Cheng Ran just remembered why the text message said they would have dinner tomorrow. Now the concert was almost over at 11 o'clock. After a day of performances today, Qin Xizhen must have exhausted all his energy. He would only be free to meet his old friend tomorrow.
After leaving Nanzhou Gymnasium, if you want to get a taxi, you have to walk another three or four hundred meters to the intersection. When you pass by, you will see someone standing next to a car in the comb-like parking spaces on the side of the road, waving at Zhang Jing.
Everyone looked over. They didn't look like Zhang Jing's parents. They were dressed formally and had friendly smiles on their faces. This kind of smile can't be displayed without years of experience as a secretary in an office. Zhang Jing went over to say hello and called him Uncle Zhao. The man called Uncle Zhao smiled and took Zhang Jing in, opening the car door for her. Li Wei and Wang Xinbo had both seen it. It was a Passat with a local license plate number in the three-digit sequence. Although there were some privileged license plates in this era, and there were some rules for them, for ordinary civilian license plates, the small license plate sequence also gave them a sense of being hidden in the market. Car license plates are sometimes also a reflection of urban changes. Some license plates themselves have many rumors and history.
Zhang Jing said goodbye to everyone, got into the car, closed the door, and the driver drove away.
At this time, Lao Guo turned to Cheng Ran and said meaningfully, "Xiaojie Zhang... It seems that your family is from a prominent family. This family is either rich or noble. In my opinion, the latter is more likely."
Cheng Ran was quite interested in Old Guo Zhijun, because he had some knowledge beyond that of ordinary college students, but this guy was unkempt and wore slippers everywhere all day long, and he didn't have the temperament of a socialite.
After the car disappeared on the road, Hao Qian, who shared a dormitory with Zhang Jing, turned around and said to everyone, "You all don't know, but Zhang Jing's father is the district leader of the South District. In the "one center, multiple cores, and two wings" layout created by Nanzhou, the two wings emphasized are the South District and the East District, accelerating the leapfrog development of the two districts. With the economic development of Nanzhou in the future, her father's career prospects are limitless."
Seeing the stunned expressions of Li Wei and others in Cheng Ran's dormitory, Liu Wenyi also said, "It's just that she never showed off because she was the child of a leading cadre. She usually works hard and relies on herself to fight for the student union. Sometimes the student union activities end very late, and she has to go to the study room to read to make up for the time. She is also very enthusiastic about her roommates' affairs, which is why our dormitory has a good relationship with Zhang Jing. But it is indeed very enviable. She has such a good family, is an excellent person, and most importantly, looks very good. But there is one thing, that is, she had a relationship in high school and was deeply hurt."
Everyone immediately became curious.
Cheng Ran also looked over, and Liu Wenyi said, "It's not that she can't talk about it. Everyone talked about it not long ago, but she definitely won't talk about it every day... There was a boy in her high school before. At first, the boy pursued her and was very enthusiastic. At that time, she was under a lot of pressure in the third year of high school and loved to fantasize, so she agreed at that time. As a result, the boy pursued her, and probably his enthusiasm faded, and he became cold towards her. You know, girls, when they were in a relationship at that time, they definitely hoped that their boyfriends would treat them better in various ways. As a result, the boy was not only distant, but later he even said that she had too many demands and was very troublesome. Zhang Jing felt very aggrieved about this. This first love ended just like that. In the final analysis, it was because the boy was not so sincere, but it hurt Zhang Jing a lot, which led to her not wanting to fall in love in college. The most important thing was that she was afraid of meeting an insincere person like her first love."
Lao Guo looked over and asked, "Does she still have feelings for that boy, or does she still have a grudge against him?"
"More or less," Liu Wenyi said, "It's inevitable that there will be some obstacles. I will consider whether I am not good enough and reflect on my actions. But in the end, it is because the other party is not sincere enough. But the best way to forget a relationship is to start another one. There are a lot of people who want to pursue her in school, but she is actually very afraid of the shadow of the first time. As her roommates, we have to be a check. We must really like her..."
"So what's the situation of that man now? Do you know?"
"It is said that... he is in Tsinghua University or Peking University..."
The group chatted with each other, took a taxi, and returned to HKUST in batches. Wang Xinbo sent Gao Yue home.
Cheng Ran returned to the dormitory and sent a few text messages to Qin Xizhen. One of them was to evaluate her concert performance, saying that the overall effect was very good, and of course, he also made some suggestions. Qin Xizhen replied, "Okay, do you know that you look a lot like my dad now?"
"I'm very tired today. Go to bed early. See you tomorrow."
The next day, Qin Xizhen sent an address, which was called Jingxian Pavilion, a private restaurant in a private club. Needless to say, it must be a high-end place in Nanzhou. Cheng Ran was a little surprised. Since when did a meal for two people need to be so formal? More importantly... so generous
As expected, this private restaurant is hidden in a small private world in the central section of Nanzhou. When Cheng Ran entered the private room, he was certainly not the only one being entertained... There were about ten people, speaking in different accents.
Qin Xizhen was wearing a well-fitting long dress, sitting there, giving off a sense of tranquility, elegance, as well as a subtle temperament and majesty.
Perhaps the people present still had some questions about the young Cheng Ran. Qin Xizhen answered them first. This was his younger brother who was studying in Nanzhou.
Everyone was relieved.
Sit down.
Cheng Ran looked at the people sitting at the table in front of Qin Xizhen in the screen box in front of him.
Currently, probably half of the leaders of China's record industry are all here.
