no ambiguity

A phone call ended in silence and hanging up, this time Wen Ning did not accommodate her again.

From that day on, it seemed that the two of them were really disconnected, no contact, no communication, and no meeting.

The divorce agreement does not come into effect after signing, and it can be mailed to the other party, but this can only be regarded as the wife and wife have reached a consensus on the division of marriage, and it has no legal effect.The two of them had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, submit the divorce agreement, and go through the relevant procedures before everything was settled.

Qinghe is familiar with these procedures, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

She stayed alone in the rental house for two days, during which she didn't go out once, didn't surf the Internet, didn't communicate with friends, lived in a daze, didn't write new songs, didn't do anything else, just lay on the bed until the new day When the album was released, Brother Yu called her.

The release of the new album "Slow Train" went very smoothly. From song selection to production, all kinds of experiences in the middle, and then to the successful launch, there was no obstacle at all. After the album was released, the response was quite good, and it was a good start. .

"Slow Train" was first released on the Hongyun app. There are two title songs, one is the newly edited version of "Chunjiang Road Westward Journey", and the other is the never-before-seen "Xiang Sheng".

Driven by the previous edition, within two days after its release, the popularity of the newly edited version of "Chunjiang Road Westward Journey" remained high. There were many related discussions, and some professionals conducted specific analysis on the two editions. And narration, from the prelude to the chorus, each part has a corresponding contrast.

The newly edited version of "Westward Journey on Spring River Road" has changed from complicated to simple, deleted some solo parts that were too ostentatious, and added a short piece of pure instrumental music.Most listeners can't hear the difference, and don't feel deeply about it, and those who are a little bit more knowledgeable pay more attention to these changes.However, there are mixed opinions about the adapted version on the Internet. Some people think that the original bass solo is the highlight, and the original taste will be lost after the change. Some people think that the new version is better. The instrumental playing just makes up for that.

Unlike "Westward Journey on Spring River Road", which sparked heated discussions when it came out, the attention of "Xiang Sheng" has gradually increased. There were not many views on the first day of its release, but it has been rising all the way in the next few days. Even if the heat is still not as good as the former, the evaluations that can be obtained are not low.

The song "Xiang Sheng" revolves around the year 08, connecting Nancheng and the super-first-tier G City, combining the lives of ordinary people, using straightforward and simple lyrics, layered complex melodies, one by one Restore the year.

Spring Festival travel, earthquake, financial crisis...

The most essential purpose of music is to resonate with the audience and drive emotions, and "Xiang Sheng" has undoubtedly achieved this.The comments exceeded [-] within a week, the number of views continued to rise, and the ranking continued to rise.

The chaotic and troubled year of 08 left too many memory points, adding a strong touch to Nancheng, which cannot be erased to this day. The touch brought by "Xiang Sheng" is too heavy.

"The train travels six thousand miles and never returns"

Just this sentence, the meaning is too deep.

Before 08, Nancheng sent countless migrant workers to City G. After 08, this situation gradually changed.The snowstorm in the north of that year caused a major power outage, so that the trains in various places were suspended, and the railway station in City G became the most chaotic place. Countless people were stranded, and the way home was confused.

In the subsequent major earthquake, Nancheng and its surrounding areas were the hardest hit areas.

As well as a series of impacts brought about by the financial crisis, large and small factories in G City closed down, and countless families in Nancheng were struggling.

From Nancheng to G City, the round trip is [-] kilometers, a total of [-] miles.

Can't catch the train, can't go home;

Unseen relatives, separated from life and death;

The long road is long, there is no light in front, and there is no way to go back.

The reality is always accompanied by suffering and grief, and there is never a lack of hope for life. People are small ants, but they will not stop struggling until they die.

The lyrics of "Xiangsheng" are not gorgeous and do not conform to the current aesthetics of lyrics and music, but it is precisely the simplicity and realism in it that moved the audience, breaking a way in the increasingly impetuous and false prosperity.

Soon, the discussion rate of "Xiang Sheng" surpassed that of "Westward Journey on Spring River Road", and it skyrocketed all the way, rushing to the top of the new song list and hot song list of Hongyun app.

Flying Culture secretly pushed it two days ago, and then let it grow freely, temporarily stopped the original publicity and marketing strategy, intending to see what kind of results the slow train can achieve without the promotion of external forces .After all, the traffic and publicity brought by "Xiangsheng" have far exceeded the company's expectations. Unless there are sunspots and opponents who make troubles, Flying Culture still understands the truth that too much is too late. There is no rush to gain fame at this time, and it will take a long time in the future develop.

Brother Yu told Qinghe that the company is already preparing for the physical album, and the relevant personnel will work overtime for a while, and it will be released at the latest during the Chinese New Year.This matter is urgent and requires the cooperation of the band members. When the popularity of the album rises, it will definitely not be a problem to sell well.

Now that we have come to this point, the flying culture has paid a lot for the slow trains, and all the efforts have been made. After investing so much capital, it can finally be reaped, and it will definitely not be soft in the future.In business talk business, this is agreed in the contract. Starting a company is not doing charity, and you have to eat after work.

Brother Yu said it tactfully, to the effect that they will be busy for a while, so they should try their best to obey the company's arrangement, and don't make any mistakes.

Qinghe still understands this rule, she sat on the edge of the bed, hummed, and said: "Yes, don't worry."

Brother Yu heard that something was wrong with her, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked doubtfully: "Why is your throat hoarse, is it because you have a cold or are you feeling unwell?"

Qinghe pinched his throat with his index finger and thumb, rubbed it, and argued: "I haven't had a good rest these two days, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Brother Yu was a little worried and insisted on coming over to take a look.

Qinghe didn't like this very much, and felt that it was too much to make a big deal out of a molehill, so she suppressed the discomfort and wanted to refuse, but she couldn't hold back the other party.

In fact, Brother Yu's worries are not unreasonable. He came here just to be on the safe side, and he might get annoyed if something happened.

For a singer, the voice is the most precious thing, especially in these times recently, everyone in the flight culture is looking forward to the band's rush again and again. There are still many activities waiting for them in recent days. If there is something wrong with the voice, that is Really can't afford it.

When someone came to the door, it was rare for Qinghe to tidy herself up, but she still didn't wear makeup, not as delicate as before, she only washed her face and changed into a clean outfit.

Brother Yu bought throat lozenges and some things to moisten his throat, for fear that Qinghe's throat would not be good.

This was the first time he came here, and he thought he had found the wrong place when he walked downstairs according to the address. He couldn't believe that Qinghe actually lived in such a poor place.When he first took over the band, Qing He was wearing a lot of big-name clothes, genuine products, and the musical instruments he used were not cheap. He thought she should be quite rich, but who knew that Qing He actually lived here.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the so-called rented house was only a little bit bigger than the snail house Jingfei. Brother Yu was even more surprised, and couldn't hold back and asked: "Didn't I call you the copyright fee before? Why do you live here? It's remote and far away. , I went around a few times before finding it."

Qinghe didn't explain, just said: "I will live here temporarily, and I will move later."

The room was fairly clean, so she poured Brother Yu a glass of water and found a stool for him to sit on.

There is a pile of equipment in the room, and it is difficult to turn around.Brother Yu took the cup, but not the stool, saying that he didn't want to sit down, but just stand.He asked about Qinghe's condition, and he had to take his temperature to make sure that Qinghe was not sick before he was relieved.

Brother Yu asked concerned: "Are you short of money? If money is too tight, I can lend you some."

Qing He denied: "No, there is no shortage of money."

"Why are you being polite to me," Brother Yu said, "You can live comfortably and work hard, and I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Qinghe said: "You're welcome, there is really no shortage, I don't need it for the time being, and I will find you when it is useful."

Brother Yu only thought that she was thin-skinned and embarrassed, insisting on borrowing money, and first revealed to her that she might be shooting for a magazine.

Qinghe didn't care at all, but when he heard the word "magazine", he was stunned immediately, a little unexpected.

The bands that can be featured in magazines are generally powerful and popular bands, at least well-known, and the slow train just popped up, how could it be so fast, and besides... She pursed her lips, taking it for granted that it was the band from the magazine. Side opened the back door.

However, Brother Yu said in the next moment: "It's not necessarily true, it's just that there is such an idea. It seems that the top ten newcomer bands in China are to be selected. The key is to look at the results. And even if it is going to be filmed, it will probably be after the new year. It's still early." .”

Qing He asked: "Which magazine?"

Brother Yu took a sip of water and asked, "Who else can it be? Do you even need to think about it?"

Qing He muttered, thinking too much.

Brother Yu put down his glass, "It must be Hua Sha, could it be H&F magazine? Don't think so beautifully. Although the boss over there is always friends with us, but what level does he have, next year there will be a lot of luxury and luxury. Big stars are at the top of the list, how can we just free up a piece of land for us, don’t even think about it.”

Qinghe stood still, her head was too straight, she didn't turn the corner.She thought differently from Brother Yu. When she heard the last sentence, she thought it was H&F Magazine.

Brother Yu said: "Huasha's business sector is relatively complicated, rock and roll, and it is barely related to fashion trends. It is best to show up, and the road will be more open in the future. Our country is not as good as abroad. Playing bands abroad can To get rich is to make a fortune, and we would be worse off. Even Japan and South Korea can’t compare. It’s useless to stand out. You have to stand tall and let others see your value. What kind of endorsement or copyright will you do in the future? , all of them are here."

He was a little excited, and when he thought that the popularity of the album was not bad, he started to talk non-stop, halfway through the talk, he was thinking about it, and he just talked about something and nothing.

"You and Xilin have good looks and have that strength. The current situation is only temporary, and what will happen in the future is uncertain. The year before last, a band had a small popularity in China. After that, it went abroad to develop. Last year, it went to Bonnaroo Music in the United States. Festival performances, now it’s really a mess.”

"Your band is not bad, practice more, and develop in the direction of internationalization in the future, maybe it will be even better."

"Our domestic environment is not good, the scale is too tight, and the censorship of lyrics alone can block a lot of bands, which is quite boring."

……

Talking farther and farther, full of laughter.

Qinghe's mind was not on this, he touched the phone to unlock it, turned to the call log and looked at it.

The last call was still the same as last time, and lasted less than 2 minutes.

People are always contradicting themselves. When making decisions, they think they are rational enough, but once they calm down, they can't turn the page.

Feeling empty in my heart, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, as if something is missing.

Brother Yu wanted to invite her to dinner, but she didn't want to go, but she was dragged out in the end.

She was not the only one invited to this meal, Ye Xilin and Qi Er's family were also there, everyone treated it as a reunion, lively and lively.

As the New Year approached, the deserted Xihe Street was busier than usual. Pedestrians were coming and going, shops on both sides of the street were open, and the places to eat were filled with white smoke.

On festive days, red lanterns are hung on the lampposts, all the trees are wrapped with red silk, and workers clean the streets over and over again every day.

The smell of fireworks hits the face, which is different from staying alone in a rental house.

Qinghe didn't quite get used to it, and couldn't blend in.Everyone was happily eating hot pot, chatting, cooking, and talking about the new album, but she couldn't get in. Sometimes she wanted to say something, but her mouth remained silent.

Ye Xilin used the serving chopsticks to pick up the food twice, and then ignored her.

Qi Er could tell that she had something on her mind, but he didn't want to ask too many questions in front of a table of people, he pretended not to notice, he was smiling and greeting people from the beginning to the end, serving his wife and daughter to eat and drink.

At the dinner table, Brother Yu repeated what he had told her in the morning, as a way of informing everyone, and mentioned: "The company is negotiating with a variety show, and about the band, a total of two places have been obtained. I will ask you If you want to go, then let you go first, if you don’t want to go, don’t force it.”

Ye Xilin asked: "What variety show?"

Brother Yu said: "On the Internet, it is said that it is to promote some band culture, and the intention is quite lofty."

After all, let’s introduce them in detail.

Flying Culture must want to take the slow train to the competition, otherwise Brother Yu would not come to reveal the news. It is rumored that the investment in this variety show is quite large, and if he can show his face, let the audience remember that the resources for the coming year will not have to worry .

But the slow train is operated independently, and whether you are willing to go or not depends on the wishes of the band members, and the company cannot forcibly interfere.

Brother Yu pretended to be profound, and mentioned the truth, and the meaning behind the words was to let go.

Ye Xilin and Qi Er were silent, Qing He finally spoke, and replied directly: "No."

Brother Yu poured her a drink, and said earnestly: "Don't rush to make a decision, think about it later when you get back. I understand that you reject this, but participating in variety shows is not all bad. After this busy period, let's have a meeting together , Let me talk about it in detail, whether it is good or bad will be seen later.”

The hot pot meal didn't end until after three o'clock in the afternoon. At the end, Qi Er went to see Brother Yu off, and Ye Xilin followed Qing He.

Qi Er's daughter is fine, the little girl is cute and lovable, while her father is away, she rushes to Qing He and hugs her.The little girl was a few years old, not as tall as Qinghe's legs, and couldn't hug her waist, so she could only hold her by the corner of her clothes, secretly stuffed two candies into Qinghe, and then ran away shyly.

Even children can see that she is in a bad mood and has emotional problems.

Qinghe had mixed feelings in her heart, and couldn't tell what she was feeling.

Later, she went to the hospital again, thinking that she would be very busy after a while and might not have time to come.

Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, so it's time to buy some gifts for the Meng family, otherwise it won't make sense.

In the hospital, a lot of people from the Meng family came, the cousin from last time was there, and there were a lot of relatives.She came at the wrong time, just in time for the relatives of the Meng family to form a team.

Only a few of these relatives are familiar faces, and they don't know the others, and they have never seen each other.Likewise, relatives did not know who she was.When someone asked, Meng Zhi's cousin helped to introduce: "This is Aunt Qing's daughter, Zhizhi's older sister."

The relatives were not good at talking, so they asked, "Which Aunt Qing?"

The cousin explained: "Second uncle's wife."

Relatives oh oh twice.

Sitting by the hospital bed, Qing He peeled Meng Zhi's apples, and heard the distant relatives of the Meng family discussing in low voices, "remarried", "not relative", "dead"...all these words came to her ears .

She didn't react too much, as if she couldn't hear it.

The cousin was a little embarrassed, with a perplexed look on his face, wondering if he should interrupt the conversation of his relatives.

Meng Zhi had a bad temper, his pale face sank, and he opened his mouth: "Are you annoying? You just blah, blah, blah. What's the noise in the ward?"

There was a sudden silence in the ward, and it was silent for a moment.

The relatives were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

My cousin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up to smooth things over, and said with a smile that Meng Zhicai had quarreled with him and was in a bad mood, so let everyone not care about it.As a patient, he is emotionally unstable, and it is normal to lose his temper occasionally.

Qing He lowered her head and did not interfere, cut the apple open with a knife, handed it to Meng Zhi, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Eat, don't interrupt when adults are talking."

I don't know if he was angry with his cousin or what, Meng Zhi's eyes were all red, he stared straight at Qing He, but he didn't raise his hand to pick up the things, for a long while, he pushed the apple away, and said in a crying voice: "Who? Let you come to see me, I want you to take care of..."

Qing He stuffed the apple into her hand, not bothering with the little one, it went in one ear and out the other.

Come here, in front of the relatives of the Meng family, there are some things that cannot be overdone.

Later, when my cousin asked to have dinner together, she followed, even though she had no appetite.

It was ten o'clock in the evening when I left the hospital and returned to the rental house. The old street was dimly lit, and I couldn't see clearly. I had to turn on the flashlight to go upstairs.

After entering the house, she didn't even bother to take a shower. She turned off the light and went to bed after rinsing her mouth and face. She didn't look at her phone or listen to music.

No matter what the current life is like, if one night passes, tomorrow will have to turn over.

The band, the company, the busy work is a heavy mountain, and it will be pressed down at any time.

Jiang Ting.

The light in the study room of the villa was still on, and the door was not closed. Standing at the door, one could see the slender figure in front of the desk.

At the end of the year, all kinds of work are backlogged together, and there are many things to deal with.

Wen Ning hadn't gotten up since sitting at the table. He had been here since the afternoon, and he didn't even eat dinner.At this time, there are still assistants coming to deliver materials, and it seems that the work will continue.

Uncle Yang left, and no one came up to care.The aunt at home came twice and asked if she wanted dinner and supper, but Wen Ning said no, so they didn't come in to bother her again.

Time passed by one minute and one second, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock... two o'clock in the morning.

He was really tired, so he rubbed the space between his brows twice and put down his work.

The cold coffee was bitter and astringent, but she picked it up and took a sip, rested for a while, and went back to her room after working for half an hour.

On the bedside table in the room, there was a courier package there. It had been opened, and the divorce agreement was inside.

Next to the express, there is a signature pen.
