I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

When Jingyi went to college, she worked for three days and rested for two days. The lecturers and professors in the school just turned a blind eye.

Some lecturers came to the classroom to teach, and when they saw that Lou Jingyi was not in the classroom, they were relieved. They were asked to stand on the podium and teach Jingyi below, and the pressure on them was really great.

Jingyi just came here to get a university diploma and fulfill her dream in her previous life. Now she can teach the music lecturers of the Chinese University Department of Music at a level that is high enough for her to teach them.

Her two hit singles dominated the music request stations for most of the time. Whenever you turned on the radio, you could always hear these two classic songs.

But the majority of fans were still not satisfied! The sound quality from this radio was always noisy and there was no stereo at all. How could it compare to records and tapes? So they called the commercial radio station and asked them to tell Lou Jingyi that her piano album had been out for two months, but where was her song album?

Commercial radio stations don’t have the right to release albums! The radio station’s music director could only contact Jingyi, knowing that she was not signed to a record company yet. If she wanted to release an album, she had to negotiate with a record company.

But generally record companies will not invest their limited resources in artists who are not from their own company. This album requires a lot of money and human resources in every link, from recording, production, distribution, promotion and sales.

The music director of Commercial Radio also has some connections, and Jingyi can help him if she needs him.

Jingyi originally wanted to find a way to release an album after graduating from college. But when Director Huang said that the song request station's phone was about to explode! When the listeners and fans unanimously asked her to release an album, she couldn't make up her mind for a while.

"I have enough songs to make an album, but I can't find a record company to release it." Jingyi was also at a loss.

"Didn't you collaborate with Warner Records on an album? See if you can work with them again. If not, I can ask Time Records for you."

Director Huang gave her some advice. As a musician, he also couldn't wait for the local music scene in Hong Kong to produce more popular songs.

More than two months ago, Jingyi rejected Bill the Beard's offer. Now she felt a little embarrassed to talk to him about releasing a song album.

"Then I'll go ask Director Bill."

Jingyi didn't care about these things! After saying goodbye to Director Huang, she drove her Porsche sports car to the Gateway Building in Tsim Sha Tsui, where Warner Records was located.

She took the elevator to Director Bill's office on the 16th floor. When Bill saw her knocking on the door, he thought she was here to inquire about last month's album sales and commissions.

"Last month, album sales didn't break 10 million, only over 6 million. This is normal! We will definitely be able to achieve three-diamond certification within a year. The commission from the headquarters hasn't been transferred yet, it will probably take a few days." Bill explained to her right away.

"Uncle Bill, I want to release an album of songs." Jingyi was also bold enough to use even her nickname.

"You want to join our Warner Records? I have always kept the S-level contract for you."

Bill smiled brightly when he heard this. If he could recruit Jingyi to Warner Records, it would be like bringing in a lucky cat. Her composing talent is world-class, her piano skills are world-class, and even her singing voice is unforgettable.

"I'm only sixteen years old now, still a minor. I'll have to wait until I graduate from college before signing a contract! I want to work with the company again and release a song album."

Jingyi could only use the word "delay" to perfunctorily deal with Director Bill. It was impossible to sign the contract. Besides, would the signature have any legal effect? ​​There was no guardian accompanying her.

"It's a bit difficult to release a song album! Your last one was a pure music album, and it was all handled by the headquarters. I'm afraid the artists under the company will have objections to promoting and releasing a song album!"

Bill looked embarrassed. But Jingyi saw his expression and felt that he was pretending. He just wanted to gain more benefits for the company.

"I can reduce the commission for the song album to 30%. Is that okay?" Jingyi suggested. She didn't care about things that could be solved with money.

"Twenty percent! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself in the company." Bearded Bill looked at me with sharp eyes and began to press further.

"Deal! Then I'll go back and sort out the music, and you get the band's studio ready."

Jingyi turned and left! As long as the copyright of the song was still in her hands, it didn't matter if she earned less.

Returning to her room in the middle courtyard of Lou Mansion, she entered the space and began to sort out the music scores. She selected a total of ten songs, plus the already recorded "Childhood" and "Walking on the Road of Life", which made a total of twelve songs.

There are six songs in Cantonese and Mandarin, with "Moonlight Serenade" and "Red Dust Rolling" as the main songs.

This "Moonlight Serenade" was written by Li Keqin in 1987, and she covered the "Honeymoon Serenade" released by Xiao Ri Zi Jia in 1983. I released it a few years in advance, and I will cover her version when I want to cover it in the future.

"Red Dust" is the theme song of the movie of the same name. It was released in 1990. Why did she choose this song as the main theme song? Because she was best at singing this song in her previous life.

After finishing the music, Jingyi opened the door and hurried out. When she was at the door of the inner courtyard, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her and they almost bumped into each other. The folder in Jingyi's hand fell to the ground.

Jingyi frowned when she saw who it was. This person was Lou Jiaju, the second young master of the East Courtyard. He had a round figure and wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

"I'm sorry! I almost bumped into you, didn't I?" The second young master kept apologizing to her. He bent down with difficulty and helped Jingyi pick up the folder on the ground.

Jingyi and he had never met before. There was also a big age gap between them, and they had never even spoken to each other.

"It's okay! Be more careful next time." Since she didn't bump into him, Jingyi wasn't a petty person. She just replied calmly!

Lou Jiaju held her folder in his hand and glanced at the notes that were all over the page. He handed the folder to Jingyi with a grin and actually started talking to her.

"Cousin Jingyi, I know you like music. Tonight the German Opera Company is performing the opera The Magic Flute at the Cultural Center Grand Theater. I invite you to go and enjoy it."

Jingyi took her folder and refused him. "I'm sorry, I don't have time these days." Then she walked around him and left.

"Hey! When are you free?" Lou Jiaju kept asking from behind.

Jingyi ignored him! He came up to show his affection for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. I don't know what evil plan the family in the East Courtyard is planning.

She got in her Porsche and drove towards Tsim Sha Tsui. She wanted the band at Warner Records to get familiar with the music she had arranged as soon as possible.

After parking the car, she went into Bill's office on the 16th floor of the Gateway Building. Bearded Bill had already prepared the documents for cooperation between the two parties, and Jingyi stepped forward to sign.

Bill took the music sheet Jingyi sent him and read it one by one. It was full of arranged music sheet without any lyrics. But as a musician, Bill beat the beat with his hands and hummed the tune. The first song completely amazed him!

"This piece can be used as a piano or violin concerto! Is it adapted from one of your piano pieces?" After exclaiming in admiration, Bill looked up and asked Jingyi.

Jingyi leaned over to take a look and gave him a thumbs up. He is indeed a senior musician! The accompaniment of this Moonlight Serenade is only violin and piano. In the previous life, some piano lovers used it as a piano exercise.

There is also the song "Red Dust Rolling", which is accompanied by only a piano. It is indirectly equivalent to singing a cappella, which is a complete test of the singer's skills.

She made an appointment with Bill the Bearded Director to come back here to record the first song three days later. She drove her Porsche back to Lou Mansion.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw the cheap aunt from the east courtyard sitting in the yard. When she saw Jingyi coming back, she immediately stood up with a smile on her face.

"My niece is back! I've been waiting for you here for a long time!" Lou Yao came over and wanted to follow Jingyi into her room.

"Aunt, do you want to see me?"

Seeing her like this, Jingyi stopped and stopped trying to open the door. She turned around and asked Lou Yaoshi calmly.

"Ah? It's like this. Your second cousin heard that you like music, so he went out of his way to buy two tickets for a play. I know you girls are shy and embarrassed to agree to go with him. So your aunt came over to express her feelings, and you two can go out and play tonight."

Jingyi was almost amused by her! How could such a top-notch person be found everywhere? Were they targeting her?

"As long as my grandfather agrees, I don't care."

Jingyi didn't know what they were thinking. For the sake of a sports car, they must be asking around about her financial situation.

Now that he knows he has a lot of money, he decides to use the ugly man trick to defraud himself of his money.
