Chapter 255 Climbing(1/2)
After leaving the Bund and returning to the hotel, Mi Yue was still top-heavy, as if she was stepping on cotton, and she didn't know where she was.
In order to obtain the copyright of Lin Baiyao's songs, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her life for her salary, but she was so angry that she turned against her and turned against her. Fortunately, she found her way back and regretted it, but she still walked on thin ice with trepidation.
In the following days, the uneasiness and ambiguity when getting along with Lin Baiyao all stemmed from my obsession with song copyright.
It's just that she didn't expect that what she thought would be a difficult task would actually be achieved so easily on the sultry Bund in the night breeze.
"Sister, don't be too happy. I can give you the copyright to the song, and I can continue to invest resources in the future to help you enter the entertainment industry. However, I have a condition."
Sitting on the sofa in the hotel, Lin Baiyao poured a basin of cold water on Mi Yue to calm down.
Why is it so difficult for Tang Monk to obtain Buddhist scriptures? It’s because he doesn’t know how to cherish things that are too easy to obtain.
Mi Yue's back suddenly stiffened, and she stared straight at Lin Baiyao, her two little hands clasped together uneasily, her fingertips turning slightly white.
"Your agency contract must be signed with Galaxy for five years. After five years, you can negotiate for renewal or termination."
"ah?"
Mi Yue looked hesitant. The reason why she gave up the excellent career prospects at the University of Finance and Economics and wanted to enter the entertainment industry was, on the one hand, the natural vanity of girls yearning for the glamor of stars. On the other hand, it was also the main reason.
, I want to help my aunt Bai Jie get out of the current predicament.
But by signing the management contract with Galaxy Image, the dream of becoming a star is closer, but far away from Bai Jie. It is really difficult to make a choice.
Bai Jie pushed Mi Yue and said, "Why are you standing there so stupidly? Why don't you thank Mr. Lin quickly?"
She really felt sorry for Mi Yue. Anyway, this girl had made up her mind to join the industry, and she couldn't persuade her to do anything.
Instead of starting as a newcomer in a big company and suffering all the hardships, it would be better to sign with Lin Baiyao.
After all, they are fellow disciples, and if they don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, they won't let her be bullied.
In addition, Galaxy Image's entertainment agency has just been established, and she will be a veteran when she joins. All the resources will inevitably be tilted towards her. Once she becomes famous and has the qualifications, she will be able to firmly establish herself.
Mi Yue gritted her teeth, knowing that this was her last chance. If she refused, Lin Baiyao would never consider it again. Then it would be impossible to help her aunt, nor herself.
"Well, I listen to my junior...I listen to Mr. Lin."
Lin Baiyao said with a smile: "In addition to the company, I am still called junior in other places. The president of the university said at the opening ceremony that we alumni of the University of Finance and Economics should compete within the school and cooperate with each other outside the school. This is a fine tradition."
Mi Yue suppressed her heartbeat, nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes!"
After chatting for a while, Bai Jie asked Lin Baiyao to take a rest early and said: "Tomorrow morning I will pick up Mr. Lin to visit the company... By the way, the Oriental Pearl Tower next to it will hold a citizen climbing competition on the morning of New Year's Day. If Mr. Lin has
If you are interested, we can go there first to see the excitement, and then go to the company."
"Okay, let's just watch the excitement tomorrow. When I come to the Magic City, I have to experience the local customs."
Lin Baiyao sent the two girls away with a smile. He came back to take a shower and brush his teeth, then went to bed and fell asleep.
Jiang Hai stayed in the living room outside, lying on the sofa and watching DVDs. Maybe it was because of the foreign-related hotel. There were many large-scale foreign movies in it. Jiang Hai was so scared that he changed one after another, and finally couldn't help it.
He cursed: "Damn it, foreigners are really filled with decadent capitalist ideas in their heads. What kind of thing are they filming..."
The next day, Lin Baiyao got up on time. Seeing that Jiang Hai was as sluggish as an eggplant beaten by frost, he smiled and said: "I told you to go in and sleep, but you won't go in. You have to lie on the sofa. Isn't it comfortable to sleep? You have dark circles under your eyes."
…”
Jiang Hai yawned, scratched his hair, and said sheepishly: "Mainly to criticize capitalism, I watched a few more foreign movies and slept late..."
Lin Baiyao glanced at the DVD in the TV cabinet in confusion, laughed loudly, and said: "In a place like the Magic City, where people are obsessed with life and money, why do you need to watch this? I will take you to eat meat tonight, don't waste paper."
Jiang Hai suddenly blushed and waved his hands wildly, saying: "No, no, I have to marry a wife. I have to be worthy of her..."
I have to say that men's morals are quite upright, but in this world, good men are always harmed by scumbags, and good women always encounter beastly men. I'm afraid you can't find a woman with the same upright morals.
Just after washing up, Bai Jie and Mi Yue knocked on the door and came in. The four of them went down to have a breakfast buffet, and then came to the city square in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower.
A lot of people have gathered in the square. Since 1996, this is the fourth New Year's Day climb. The method still adopts a combination of mailing, telephone and on-site registration. The impact is not great. The number of participants is not as high as the thousands later, but
Looking around, there should still be hundreds of people.
"Junior, why don't we also sign up? How can it be more fun to watch the excitement than to participate in it?"
Seeing Mi Yue's eagerness to try, Lin Baiyao was a little funny, but also a little emotional.
People are the product of complex socialization. Just like Mi Yue, she can do whatever it takes to get the upper hand, or she can surrender to others to protect herself, but at this moment, her smile is as innocent and flawless as a girl.
No one is her, no one is her.
Lin Baiyao understands the direction of the world, but he will not understand women better because of it.
"Okay, you're all here... Why don't Mr. Bai also participate?"
Bai Jie smiled and said: "I'm old and I really can't run. You young people can go and have fun."
"Let's go, let's go."
Mi Yue took Lin Baiyao's hand and quickly ran to the registration office. She simply registered her name without paying the registration fee. She was also given a red cultural shirt provided by the sponsor of BBK with a number on the back and entered the waiting area directly.
It's a coincidence that Lin Baiyao's number is No. 520 in the men's group.
"Wow, this number is the most memorable, I want it too."
In 1998, with Fan Xiaoxuan's "Digital Love" single, the meaning of 520 representing I love you also spread throughout the country.
Since the men's and women's groups competed separately, the number of women's registrations was relatively small, with only more than 300 people, and there was no number 520.
Mi Yue spent a while with the boy who handed out the number plate. The boy wanted to help, but the whole competition was recorded on the TV station, and it was also on the news in the evening. The host reported that 538 men participated and 312 women participated. However, the camera caught you and found the post.
Is it reasonable to wear 520?
This explanation was reasonable, and Mi Yue finally received the number plate 303.
But after a while, she reached an agreement with a certain eldest sister in the women's group, exchanged 303 for the number plate of 250, and showed off and waved to Lin Baiyao across the aisle, jumping up and down like a happy retard.
At 9:30 in the morning, the starting gun sounded, and the men's team raced first. Immediately, several people rushed out like wild horses. When Lin Baiyao started, he was bumped by the uncle next to him. Thanks to the young man, he took the lead and sprinted into the first place.
echelon.
This kind of activity is said to be a competition, but it is actually a kind of fun. Run up the steps from the square and then enter the tower. If you don't reach the top few at this stage, basically forget about the rest.
The narrow and crowded stairs can only allow two people to line up and go up. Everyone is chatting and watching the scenery, which is purely for tourism.
Lin Baiyao was in the first echelon. There were five people in total, two young people, a middle-aged man, and an old and strong man.
The destination of climbing the Pearl Tower is the 259-meter fully transparent glass sightseeing corridor with a total of 1,574 steps.
From 0 to 90 meters, Lin Baiyao relied on his height and long legs to maintain a high speed with one step and two steps, firmly ranking third.
Behind him are the middle-aged man and a young man, and in front of him is another young man.
Instead, the old man ranked first.
At 90-150 meters, Lin Baiyao slowed down. The middle-aged and young people had given up the race and started chatting while walking. You could still hear their laughter behind them.
At 200 meters, the old man finally slowed down, his legs were trembling, and he was holding on to the stairs and panting heavily. He was passed by the young man and Lin Baiyao one after another.
In the last thirty meters, Lin Baiyao was about to give up.
His physical fitness is very good, but his exercise is not very systematic
, lack of staying power.
The first young man was obviously professional, his physical strength was distributed reasonably, and he showed no signs of exhaustion.
Pity.
Although I don’t care about winning or losing, I can persist until this point.
Suddenly, the young man screamed and squatted on the ground with his hands on his feet. Lin Baiyao hurried over and inquired and learned that he had sprained his foot when he stepped on the ground. It was not serious and he could barely walk, but he basically had no hope of winning the championship.
Lin Baiyao was the first to reach the finish line after picking up the medicine. The beautiful host of the Magic City TV station who had been waiting for a long time interviewed him and then awarded him a BBK Super VCD as the championship prize.
Back in the square, Mi Yue's cheers almost surpassed everyone else's. The photographer's lens decisively captured her, zoomed in on her, and gave her a two-second close-up.
This is the so-called "beautiful lens". Finding beautiful viewers is one of the photographer's responsibilities.
Then came the women's competition. Mi Yue was pushed to the back at the beginning, and the whole process focused on participation, which was equivalent to a free tour of the Pearl Tower.
This is also the original intention of most contestants.
Then came the group photo of the champions and runners-up of the men's and women's groups with the leaders, and the lively competition ended at noon.
On the way to Bai Jie's company by car, Mi Yue was still wearing a cultural shirt numbered 250. Bai Jie said angrily: "Does two hundred and five sound good?"
Mi Yue said with a smile: "You don't understand..."
How could Bai Jie not understand? She sighed silently.
The car arrived at the downstairs of Yizi Culture Agency. It was far away from the urban area and there were no office buildings around. It was more like a three-story residence in an exclusive courtyard.
The office area is mainly on the second floor, the first floor is the front desk and canteen, and the third floor is the lounge and activity area.
"The company currently has about 20 people appointed by agents. Mr. Lin also understands my situation. Now that I am unable to act alone, I am led by my agent, who runs around taking jobs and pushing as much as possible..."
After visiting the environment and meeting several so-called artists, Lin Baiyao strengthened his determination not to invest.
Because he had never heard of any of these twenty artists in his previous life.
"Mr. Bai, what do you think is Yizi's biggest problem?"
"Lack of money! As long as there is new investment, I am confident that I can bring people out..."
To be continued...
