In the evening, Yuan Datong went out to buy some barbecues and beer, and had a few drinks with Zhang Xiaohua.It may have been because of happiness or the soon to come success, but Yuan Datong felt more energetic.
He still remembered where it all began: Leaving his hometown with just a couple of small bags, and coming to the capital where everyone wanted to take root. Then, he started working hard to learn meanwhile also falling in love with music.
During his studies, he not only met Zhang Xiaohua, but also met Emma the rest of the group.
After graduating from high school, Yuan Datong gave up his studies and plunged head first into the world of music. He took up the guitar every day, sang and talked about life, and sometimes went out to bars and other entertainment venues.
During the period, he also wrote a few songs and earned some money, but only enough to pay for a few months of rent.
He used to go out to multiple music companies applying for a job. Unfortunately, no company appreciated his music.
In order to repay his life-saving grace for Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua"s father had personally invited him to work in New Century and even given him a good salary.
However, during his time at New Century, he was isolated by others every day. Many pointed at him behind his back saying that he didn"t deserve his job. And that if he did not save Zhang Xiaohua, then based on his ability, he wouldn"t even make it through the doors.
Although Yuan Datong was poor, he still had his pride. So he left, took the money he had saved up, opened a music studio and invited Emma and co to join him.
At that time, Yuan Datong was ambitious. He thought that with his talent for music and the help of several people like Emma, they could make it big. But the business never quite picked up.
It was not until Zhang Xiaohua appeared again in front of him that his fate changed dramatically.
Now, he also thoroughly understood that compared to the music that Zhang Xiaohua created, his own was simply too weak. Zhang Xiaohua let him thoroughly understand what was real music!
For Yuan Datong, this was his privilege and a turning point in his life.
.....
After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Datong was already pa.s.sed out drunk.
Looking at Yuan Datong"s chest, where the scar was, Zhang Xiaohua felt moved.
Although he did not experience the bloodiness of that time, his memory was complete enough to allow him to understand the situation at that time.
In this era of greed and schemes, it was rare to meet such a loyal person!
In Zhang Xiaohua"s opinion, this was more than money could buy!
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaohua seriously thanked Yuan Datong.
Yuan Datong murmured and waved his hand around, a smile plastered on his face.
"Cheers my, brother!" Zhang Xiaohua picked up a gla.s.s of wine and smiled. In his heart, he vowed to never mistreat the brother in front of him.
Apart from money, there were still many things in the world that were worth cheris.h.i.+ng and these things,in face of money, were invaluable.
After emptying the gla.s.s of wine, Zhang Xiaohua spent a lot of effort to carry Yuan Datong back to his bedroom.
After covering Yuan Datong with a quilt, Zhang Xiaohua left the room. Going up to the computer desk, he sat down.
Switching on the computer, he clicked on to QuoDou.com. Zhang Xiaohua saw that "Can I Hold You?" had been posted to the home page of the site. The top banner was the cover of the music video. QuoDou had also set up keywords through the music section of the site, as long as you entered any word to do with music, it would recommend the song.
Zhang Xiaohua was eager to see the amount of views, but when he clicked on the video, he was smacked with a two minute advertis.e.m.e.nt.
And the face of this QuoDou was even thicker than that of YouTube back in his world, actually putting a full two minute ad before a video.
This method of making money was so much easier than his!
After working for such a long time, desperately trying to make a living just for this, QuoDou just hoped on at the end and started leaching off them.
If there was a video uploaded next time, he planned to sign a share agreement with this QuoDou.com. He couldn"t just let all the benefits be occupied by the other party.
After the long advertis.e.m.e.nt, Zhang Xiaohua took a look at the music video carefully. The result was quite satisfactory regardless of the video and sound quality. It almost exceeded the original production level of the Sparrow Records. It was obviously optimised by the QuoDou. The resolution reached 1080p HD and the sound quality was also in perfect condition. Of course, QuoDou.com only did so to attract more advertisers.
A minute later, when he saw Ling Ming holding an umbrella and singing in the rain screen. He couldn"t help but think that she looked like a perfect black rose in her knee-length black skirt.
He could imagine all those lonely netizens drooling over themselves.
However, Zhang Xiaohua was even more entranced, admiring his ability to direct.
Being able to shape a country girl without temperament into a fairy G.o.ddess was undoubtedly a success for a director. At the same time, it also gave Zhang Xiaohua a rea.s.surance. That if they were to get involved in film and television in the future, it shouldn"t be too much of an issue.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the view count and couldn"t help but be surprised even after expecting so!
In just one day, the number of views had actually exceeded 40 million, directly smas.h.i.+ng Broken-Hearted Woman"s record to pieces.
Zhang Xiaohua clearly remembered that "Broken-Hearted Woman" had only reached 15 million in the same time frame.
Slowly sliding the mouse, Zhang Xiaohua fixed his eyes on the comments area, but he found that the number of comments has reached nearly 20 million.
Zhang Xiaohua continued to slide the mouse, and then looked at the comments of netizens. He could not help but be a little excited:
"1st"
"-_- well played"
"After taking so long, HuaXiang Entertainment truly didn"t let me down!"
"G.o.ddess Ming, can I hold you?"
"Quality song, helped me "hold" my girlfriend hahaha."
"I had a quarrel with my girlfriend a few days ago. After which we haven"t really talked. I thought we would end up break up, but just after we listened to this song, we learned to cherish each other. Now it is as good as ever, she is by my side. We would like to thank Ming"er for singing to our hearts and thanking HuaXiang Entertainment for creating such a good song!"
"I hope that Ming"er doesn"t end up like w.a.n.g Jingwen"
"Yeah, I hope that Ling Ming doesn"t follow down w.a.n.g Jingwen"s steps. Now when I hear about w.a.n.g Jingwen I feel nausea."
"Seeking for Ling Ming to release the alb.u.m as soon as possible. If all the songs on the alb.u.m are as good as this one, even if it is 10,000 yuan, I am willing to buy it!"
"Hey upstairs shut the f***, before you jinx it"
"I want New Century to just hurry up and die! We have HuaXiang Entertainment now it"s time for them to hand over the reigns!"
"Agreed +1"
"Agreed +2"
"Agreed +1000086"
"I hope that HuaXiang Entertainment will help Ming"er to release the alb.u.m. If HuaXiang Entertainment has no money, we can sponsor the event. Each person will donate a yuan. I think it should be enough?"
"Do you dare to be stingy upstairs? Ming"er is a girl who deserves two yuan!"
"The stupidity of the user upstairs is even worse than that of my dog. I will donate three yuan!"
"....."
Looking at the fans" warm hearted comments, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but laugh.
