Chapter 24: She is 20 years old (revised) "Hide your name and keep your hopes high" mission progress: 26/180. After typing the last word, Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since I got the memory plug-in, my waist and legs no longer ache, and I can save 15,000 articles every day without even breathing hard. In one word – comfortable! After typing, you may even have some time to relax and have some fun. When I opened Penguin Video, I could no longer see the big banner of "Let's Go! The Road to the Sun" on the homepage of the variety show section. The first season of this variety show has officially ended. Originally, the first season was planned to be recorded for fifteen episodes, but because of that incident in the middle, Xu Lingyue was in a completely bad state and had no intention of working at all. In addition, the traffic code "Teacher Zhou" was suppressed by other hot searches, and the popularity gradually dissipated, which indirectly led to the gradual decline in the popularity of the program. In the end, it was hastily concluded after only twelve episodes, which was somewhat anticlimactic. Although it was only a short twelve issues, it still brought many benefits to Siyuan Village.
"Now the children's meat, eggs, milk and school uniforms are all provided by the company. They also have free internet and equipment to receive online classes. The school library is also available. These conditions are much better than before." On the phone, Yang Tiezhu's voice sounded very excited. "We have also opened online sales channels for the green cakes and handmade rice cakes in the village. We should receive a lot of input subsidies every year. In addition, several TV stations have contacted us, saying that they want to come here to shoot TV dramas, and they will pay us by the day!" "Can our village actually shoot a TV series?" Zhou Hao was a little surprised. "Yes, it's from some period drama. These old buildings in our village are almost extinct outside and hard to find." There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this. There are indeed not many iconic buildings like the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Red Star Auditorium that have a strong sense of the times. "Oh, and the plums from our village are also sold out this year." Yang Tiezhu said happily, "The celebrity who was recording the show alone bought 500 kilograms." "Mr. Duo?" Zhou Hao was shocked. "She bought all 500 kilograms of green plums by herself and said she would buy 500 kilograms every year. She is really a good person." Zhou Hao asked curiously: "Which one?" "It was that girl named Xu. She kept asking me about you. If you hadn't told me in advance, I would have told her..." After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hao felt both happy and worried. Now everything in Siyuan Village seems to be thriving, but he knows very well that these things are not a fundamental solution. Most of these external "helps" are not really for charity. They spend a little money to get some popularity and exposure, which is much more useful than spending money on advertising, and can also gain a good reputation for "being philanthropic." But what happens once this wave of heat passes? God knows how long they can help? After all, artificial blood transfusion cannot replace autonomous blood production. If Siyuan Village wants to completely break free from the quagmire, it has to rely on the government's poverty alleviation policies and those children who study hard. They are the real hope. However, Xu Lingyue surprised him a little. She bought all the plums from Siyuan Village without saying a word. If other celebrities did such a good thing, they would probably want to rent a house on the hot search list and live there for ten days or half a month.
An outlier. Open Shopee Music and enter the search term "Xu Lingyue". In chronological order, the first song is her debut single "Grandma's Bridge", which also comes with a video version. The content of the video is not some fancy MV, it is just the singer Xu Lingyue herself sitting on a lift chair and playing the guitar and singing. At the age of 20, she still has some baby fat on her face, with thick bangs, a pair of bulky wide-rimmed glasses, and a cartoon casual suit. She looks very cute. But the moment she picked up the guitar, her aura changed instantly, as if she was a swordsman drawing his sword. The song is not complicated, there is no showy arrangement, it is just a simple guitar solo with some drum beats as an aid. The whole song is like a girl telling a childhood story, calmly and eloquently. It's warm and plain, but it seems to have a catchy magic that makes people want to play it on repeat. good song. Complementing the quality of the song itself is Xu Lingyue’s amazing singing skills. The simpler the ingredients, the more they test the chef's skills, and the same goes for songs. And Xu Lingyue's voice is also very distinctive, ethereal and a little lazy, which makes people unconsciously immersed in it and imagine the pictures in the lyrics... Scrolling down, I saw that there were more than 50,000 comments in the comment section of this song. "I must listen to it every night before going to bed, Yueyue, I love you!" "Where the dream begins, the divine song of cleansing the ears!" “This isn’t a song, this is a musical prose poem!” "Wife, I'm here to listen to your songs again~" After re-arranging the comments in reverse chronological order, several interesting comments immediately appeared. "I came up to show off. I received a gift from Yueyue yesterday. It was a box of plums. Hahahahaha——" "Ah? I thought my wife only gave me one, but you got one too?" "I received a box too, but they're still green inside, so I guess I need to take care of them." "She actually went to the fan club to draw prizes and give out gifts. It made me cry." "Where did Yueyue get so many plums? Did she switch to plantation business?" "No matter what, you haven't received it. This is Yueyue's dowry!" "Whose mental hospital is the one upstairs from? Come over and claim him?" …… It turns out that she bought 500 kilograms of plums and gave them all as benefits to her fans? Pretty good at playing.
Exit and return to the song list, and there is a complete album below the single. There are a total of eight songs, all of which were written and composed by himself, and six of them were arranged by Lu Junfeng. The album is priced at 28 yuan, just scan the QR code to pay. After going through the whole process, Zhou Hao felt that the 28 yuan was well spent. The styles of the eight songs are relatively unified, with folk songs as the base, mixed with some pop and light rock elements. They are simple yet restrainedly brilliant, and are very enjoyable to listen to. A good singer indeed. I decided to buy all her albums at once and listened to them one by one. I was enjoying the first part, but when I got to the end I felt like... something was not right. Just when I was about to listen carefully again, a chat box suddenly popped up in the lower right corner. Zhijianyan: "Congratulations, your book has officially been accepted by Shanhai!" Zhou Hao sent a smiling emoticon, feeling calm. If this script fails, then he will be "surprised". Zhijianyan: "Are you free to come to Mingzhu City recently? Because the copyright is in your hands, you need to be present when signing the agreement with Shanhai." Zhou Hao immediately replied: "When?" Finger Smoke: "If possible, do it as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unexpected events." "Then I'll come over tomorrow?" Zhijianyan: "Okay, I'll leave you a phone number so it's convenient for us to contact you later." "it is good." "Congratulations! You are the first author in our group nine to have a successful IP. You have made us proud!" "Happy with joy..." After some pleasantries, Zhou Hao ended the chat and started packing his luggage. Just then, Li Guiqin came in with a bowl of mung bean paste. "What are you doing?" "I'm going to Mingzhu City tomorrow." Zhou Hao said while he was busy. "On a business trip?" “…I guess so.” "You novel writers, do you really need to go on business trips?" Li Guiqin looked puzzled. Zhou Hao folded his clothes and explained with a smile: "My novel is going to be adapted into a TV series. I have to go there to sign the copyright contract tomorrow." Li Guiqin was stunned for a while, "What did you just say?"
"The novel your son and I wrote is going to be made into a TV show!" Li Guiqin dropped the porcelain bowl and grabbed her son's arm, "Really?!" "of course." "Oh! That's great, that's great!" Li Guiqin clapped her hands on her thighs and ran out excitedly, "I have to quickly offer some good things to thank the Bodhisattva..." Zhou Hao: “…………” Even through the wall, one could clearly hear Li Guiqin's murmuring prayers. "... Bodhisattva, may our family be safe and sound, and may everything go well for Yuan Yuan, and may he turn misfortune into good fortune when he goes out..." "... Pray that he can marry a good wife as soon as possible and give birth to a healthy and fat boy. God bless him, God bless him..." Zhou Hao burst out laughing when he heard this. Ms. Li Guiqin, you really want a grandson so much that you actually made such a wish to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Your major is not related to this field. Do you think people will pay attention to you? (End of this chapter)
