no ambiguity

The training intensity in the afternoon was higher than that in the morning. The company invited an experienced senior to guide the stage arrangement, so that the three members of the band could learn more from the senior.

When the band goes on stage to perform, the ranking and visual effects are often overlooked and weak points.In the minds of many musicians, technique and arrangement are the most important, coordination is also important, and ranking is dispensable. The hand is basically fixed in the original position.

It was like this before the slow train. It sounds casual. To put it bluntly, it’s too lazy to work hard. Anyway, the audience is not here to see the stage rankings, as long as the atmosphere is in place.

The company asked the three people to design the stage positions to allow more interaction and enhance the visual effect. It doesn't need to be too fancy, just a little movement is fine.

In Brother Yu's words: "Get dry, be sure to get dry!"

As a manager, he worked really hard, paying attention to the band in many ways, and also focused on beating Qi Er, so that he would not stand on the stage dryly, and had to interact with the other two teammates.

At the end of the training, Brother Yu chatted with the three of them about the recently sold copyright share and physical CD share.

"You, You" and the few songs on the new album that can splash water can make a profit from the copyright, which is not low. Now there are several partners who have paid the copyright fee, and the company will send the corresponding amount in a few days. The share of the money is transferred to their personal accounts, which must be six figures.

The physical CD is calculated on a quarterly basis. So far, the album has sold about [-], and after the hot search last night, the sales volume has been stimulated again. Considering the next few months For commercial performances and publicity, it is conservatively estimated that there will be a base of [-] in a quarter.

The retail price of the real album "Slow Train" is 120 per piece, and the overall sales are very impressive, but this is only the infinite scenery on the surface, but in fact it is so-so.Flying Culture invested a lot of money in this album, and the cost of production, song recording, and filming exceeded 30.In addition, the practical school also comes with a lot of band accessories. The visible cost of printing and pressing of the record alone exceeds 40 per sheet, and there are miscellaneous investments such as transportation and cover design. Still not to the extent of making a lot of money.

However, the original intention of Flying Culture to make an album for the slow train was not to rely on it to sell money. From the beginning, it was planned to start work with the intention of making money at a loss. It's almost enough to sell a few thousand copies.

On the whole, the band is very successful, not only did not make the company lose money, but also made a fortune, and opened up a spacious road for the next road.

Brother Yu said that after the quarterly sales are over, the amount distributed to them should not exceed 20.

The band is no better than a star, this number is not bad, not a lot.

Qinghe is very satisfied with the result, knowing that if there is no support from the flying culture, let alone [-] sales, even [-] will wake up with laughter.What's more, let the band do it by themselves, without the help of other producers and teams, how can they create an album of this quality, don't even think about it.

The band's ability to get to this point largely depends on the strong support of the flying culture. If it weren't for the company's promotion and help, it would be difficult to produce a well-produced single, let alone a small hit.

Ye Xilin was not dissatisfied either, and accepted it well.

When Qi Er heard the six-figure number and 20, he squinted his eyes, as if he had been hit on the head by a big pie that fell from the sky.

Before joining the band, he was an ordinary person with an annual income of [-] yuan, and it was only the beginning of the new year, and he still couldn't digest so many bills.

In addition to the above split issues, Brother Yu also talked about the arrangements for the next six months, performances, competitions, training... How much money you earn depends on how much you pay. The band will not be easy in the future. The schedule is full, and the Lantern Festival performance is just one of them. After that, there will be a few thousand-person livehouse tours, a performance for a company's launch ceremony, and a time to go to the Netherlands for a competition at the end of the month.

Anyway, still busy.

With such a tight plan, the band has almost no freedom of movement. What kind of party, spending time with family is just a dream.Brother Yu repeatedly told him not to go wrong, everyone had to follow the arrangement, and he had to pay high compensation for breach of contract.

After training until ten o'clock in the evening, Qing He dragged his exhausted body back to the rental house.

Wen Ning didn't come over and was still working overtime at the company.

Tomorrow is the seventh day of the lunar new year, the statutory holidays are over, and the new year brings new pressures. The boss is not as easy as the employees below.

Qinghe didn't have the energy to cook and eat, and didn't want to order takeaway when it was late at night, so he just stuffed two bags of bread and went to bed, so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

The training was too harsh, and after a day of tossing, her hands couldn't bear it, and it still hurts a little.People who play musical instruments have more or less similar problems, especially for Qing He who has been holding on to musical instruments for many years, this can be regarded as an occupational disease.

There were no large tables or wardrobes in the room. Before Wen Ning left, he left a bouquet of red roses on the bedside, a large handful of bright red roses.

Qinghe lay on the bed, fiddled with roses for a while, and then took out the phone to unlock the screen.Knowing that Wen Ning should still be busy, she didn't have time to send herself a message, so she didn't go online to find this person, but clicked into Moments to check.

The circle of friends of former colleagues such as Secretary Xu and the male assistant is still open to her, and she can see all the updates they post.Secretary Xu is the fan of Gao Leng Yujie. He rarely posts on Moments. The male assistant is a chatterbox. Today, he posted two consecutive posts. One was to show his friends his new bag, and the other was to lament that he had to stay up late tonight and work overtime. .

Qing He let go of the photo of the male assistant's circle of friends, read the text several times, and guessed that Wen Ning should go to the H&F magazine tonight.She liked the male assistant's circle of friends, and then quit the circle of friends.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Flying Culture held a team dinner, but instead of the whole company together, everyone was divided into groups.

The three bands signed by the company naturally had dinner together, plus their respective managers, and teachers from the recording studio.Since it was a team gathering, there must be a lot of talking and socializing. Qing He and the others were taken to the hotel by Brother Yu after training, and drank a lot of wine during the period.

Britpop and post-punk bands are still friendly to them, and they won't be hostile just because they compete in the same company.

Of course, the main reason is that the competition is not fierce enough, and it is still in a period when the cake is enough and everyone is full.Britpop and post-punk signed a full contract. Unlike the slow train, they are not as free as the three of them. The company has already started to cultivate them, and both bands have released their own singles.Among them, British Rock received a performance at the same music festival as Slow Train, but the performance fee was not that high, and the quotation was only [-].

At the dinner table, a manager deliberately mentioned the variety show Brother Yu mentioned last time, and hinted a few words in a different way.

The high-level executives of Flying Culture desperately want Slow Train to participate in this variety show, hoping to use it to open up the band's reputation and make it more popular.Those who eat crabs first can always get more benefits. This web show has been held for one season, and the bands that participated in the recording of the first season, as long as they can enter the top ten, the performance fee will increase exponentially, and some bands will even increase Ten or twenty times, a performance exploded from five figures to three 10,000+, and individual bands received many endorsements because of this, including food and beverages, cars, and even beauty and games.

The appearance of the three slow trains is too good, and they have strength. They are like ducks in water when they surf the Internet, and they will definitely not lose.

Brother Yu stands on the side of the manager, and has 1 support for this.

The company has already signed up for British rock and post-punk bands, and now they are short of slow trains, but Qinghe doesn't let go, no matter what.

Qinghe still had the same attitude, after listening to the superior, he picked up a chopstick of food, without expressing anything extra.

Obviously unwilling, there is no negotiating.

She knows the benefits of going to variety shows without brother Yu and the others listing them, but this conflicts with her plan for the band, and the difference is too great.

Before signing the contract, Qing He had seriously considered these things. Her idea was to develop while maintaining stability, not to be too impetuous, and to be solid.On the other hand, the running-in of the slow train is not enough nowadays, and it is still far from what she expected. There are few works, the foundation is weak, and there is traffic but no market.And she has plans to find another keyboard, and wants to settle down to make rock with a band style, and she doesn't plan to get too much traffic for the time being.

It may be a bit stubborn to think this way, and there is a prejudice against entertainment, but the lessons learned are there. There are still so many bands that have been popular since the [-]s, but how many are really remembered?

At the beginning, Xichao was much more popular than the slow train now, and it was touring abroad and performing at large music festivals, but what happened in the end?After breaking up with Neon, Qing He was suppressed and cleaned up by others. Do the public still remember the song of Xi Chao?Xi Chao has been forgotten by the rock circle, not to mention the public.

Qinghe has no problem with variety shows and traffic, but her cognition is sober and she can tell which is more important.

If morality is not coordinated, it will be counterattacked.The slow train has not yet had the ability to attract money on the show, it has not even finalized its own style, and it has only become popular with a few songs. Once it is separated from the flying culture, it is still nothing.

Some things are difficult to say at the dinner table. Qing He poured a glass of wine for Brother Yu and the manager, stood up and said politely: "It's time for me to toast you two. It's been hard work for a while."

Four or two moves, expressing a tactful rejection in this way.

Those two didn't know how to pick it up. She was too respectful and couldn't fault it.

Ye Xilin and Qi Er helped smooth things over and also stood up to toast.

Not long after, the members of the other two bands all stood up, and everyone clinked glasses and drank.

Let's turn this matter over.

Brother Yu was not very happy, but respected them.

Brit-rock and post-punk are very happy. There is one less strong opponent in the competition, and the company can get more support. Why not do it.

The party ended at 11:30, and Qinghe took a taxi back by himself, without letting Ye Xilin see him off.The taxi only took her to the side of the street, and the rest of Ruth walked.

From a distance, Qing He saw the black Cayenne downstairs, and after a while he approached, the other party came to support him.

Wen Ning went upstairs with his arms around her, fearing that she might not be able to stand still.

The old house is not a combination lock, the door can only be opened with a key, and the key is in the pocket.

When the spirit of wine came up, Qinghe was a little dizzy, her feet were soft and her hands were soft, she forgot which pocket she put the key in, and couldn't find it after searching for a while.This is how she behaves, she can't drink and still insists, and she becomes confused when she drinks too much.

Wen Ning hugged her waist, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Don't touch it, I'll come and find it."

She didn't speak, just nodded.

The keys are in the back left pocket of the jeans.

Wen Ning first touched his clothes pocket, then his trouser pockets, and only looked for the back pocket if there was none in the front.

Maybe it's sensitive, maybe it's not sober, Qinghe's reaction is a bit overactive, and the moment the other party touches her, she grabs Wen Ning's wrist with a lot of strength.

She fell on Wen Ning's shoulders, her cheeks were a little hot, and she said softly as if playing tricks: "Don't...don't take the opportunity to touch..."

Wen Ning had no choice but to hold her waist tightly, and replied half coaxing and half explaining: "I'll take the key."

Qinghe was dull, her footsteps moved vainly, and she didn't make a sound.

Wen Ning broke free from her grip, took out the key, and opened the door.

Since there was a person in his arms and the lights were not on on the balcony, it was not easy to open the door, so he could only feel his way.

Qinghe smelled heavily of alcohol, her breath was heavy, and her breath was hot.She didn't stop much, she was always moving around, one moment she was holding Wen Ning, and the next moment she let go, and she was about to sit on the ground as soon as she lost her strength.

Wen Ning hugged her tightly, touched her face comfortingly, and continued to open the door.

After a while, the door was opened.

The two didn't go in immediately, but stood at the door hugging each other.

Wen Ning kissed Qinghe first, from the sideburns to the side of the face, and then to the chin.

Probably because he was thirsty after drinking too much, Qing He raised his fair neck, leaned back uncontrollably, and swallowed lightly.

Wen Ning put his lips on her throat again.

It was windy and cold at night.

The two of them just dawdled outside for a while, and went in within half a minute.

Because there was a drunk man, it took some effort to take off my shoes, and I had to turn on the light after entering the door.

When Wen Ning took off his shoes, Qing He fell to the ground without paying attention at all.Fortunately, there are mats on the ground, and everything is clean. You can lie down directly, but you can’t move around, otherwise you can kick over the equipment on the shelf.

The light above the head was soft and not very dazzling, but Qing He still closed her eyes and lay there straight as if unconscious.

Wen Ning closed the door, locked it, and pressed on her body, kissing her ears once and for all, with his hands constantly going up.

Qing He moaned, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "It still hurts..."

Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, stopped his hands, and only kissed the corner of her mouth, not disliking her smell of alcohol, and kissed her.

After the kiss, Qinghe said: "I want to drink water."

Wen Ning hummed: "Wait a minute."

The man stepped back and kissed her tattoo again.

The cold air made Qinghe wake up a lot in an instant. She kicked the opponent directly, her face was slightly hot, and she cursed: "Are you a pervert..."

Wen Ning didn't argue, touched her lips with her, and said in a low voice, "I'll pour some water, and I'll take a shower later before going to bed."

Only then did he get up, wash his hands in the kitchen first, and then get the cup.

Qinghe sat up, followed the man with her eyes, and pulled the hem of her clothes with one hand, covering the hyacinth tattoo on her lower abdomen.It is both afraid of the cold and inexplicably thin-skinned.
