Chapter 112 The Story of Wuwei Bookstore (23)

Brother Yang, are you here to record the song again?

In several commercial buildings in the west square of the main entrance of Jiangzhou Communication University, there are many recording studios similar to WYN. After all, this is Jiangzhou Communication University, which is full of talents. Students and teachers often come to record demos and recordings. Songs, when there is demand, there will be a market, which is normal!

However, these recording studios are also of mixed quality, cheap, with poor recording effect and incomplete equipment. The WYN recording studio selected by Yang Yi is a relatively large-scale and top-notch recording studio with advanced and complete equipment. Of course, the price is not cheap!

Yang Yi had been here several times before, and the boss Wang Canghai recognized him and greeted him as soon as he came up.

Brother Wang, it turns out that the recording studio is rented for one day. Yang Yi nodded at the other party, and then began to pay. One thousand two hundred yuan, he counted twelve large bills and handed them over.

Rent for a day? So fierce? Wang Canghai used to play music, but he couldn't play it well. He chose to start a business for a living, and after getting married and having children, he smoked and drank, and now he speaks like a vicissitudes of life.

He also laughed at himself that he used to sing soft and lyrical campus ballads, but now he can only sing rock and roll. The so-called music dream, naturally, has long since given up.

Yang Yi smiled and said, It's been a long time since I came to play. Can't you just enjoy the recording?

In fact, he also took advantage of Xixi to be picked up by Murphy to live for a few days before he sneaked out to record the song he promised to write for Murphy. It seems a little too cautious, but who made him a killer in his previous life, he can ignore the law, but he must not be careless.

Wang Canghai gave him a thumbs up, then counted the stack of banknotes, took two of them, and pushed them back: The summer vacation is a big reward, you've made it for a whole day, one thousand is enough!

Yang Yi smiled indifferently. He didn't pick it up, but pointed behind Wang Canghai and said, Then change it to tea, I want your exclusive throat tea!

After speaking, Yang Yi took the key and walked straight to his recording studio.

Hey, those two hundred are too much! Wang Canghai shouted at Yang Yi's back, but Yang Yi didn't look back, so he mumbled and put it away.

Today's workload is heavy. For ten new songs, Yang Yi has to record the soundtrack and demo according to different instruments.

Since Murphy knew what his voice was like, Yang Yi had to use the professional equipment in the recording studio to repair the demo before sending it to Murphy.

Therefore, after entering the recording studio, Yang Yi turned on all kinds of equipment skillfully without saying a word, and started to work hard.

...

Near Liulichang in Beijing, an ordinary-looking old man wearing a felt hat walked into a small bookstore called Wuwei Bookstore.

Yes, this bookstore is not large, with a small facade of more than 20 square meters, you can see it from the door. Not only is it small, it should also be an old bookstore. There is no gorgeous decoration or scientific display. The old bookshelves are surrounded by a circle, and they are full, so it is difficult to turn around.

Of course, in addition to books, there are only books left!

The old man in the felt hat walked in, and habitually looked up at the plaque on the wall behind the cashier, which was also from the same era: The world is full of different expressions, and the five flavors are mixed.

This is the origin of the name of the bookstore. The old man has seen it countless times, but every time he can't help but admire it. Of course, the calligraphy on the plaque is also from his own home!

Chen Lao, are you here? A middle-aged man was taking care of the bookstore today. When he saw the old man, he respectfully greeted him.

Where's your dad? The old man called Chen Lao nodded slightly and asked.

He wasn't feeling well the first two days, so I asked my wife to take him to the hospital. The middle-aged man didn't stop working, and smiled while brushing the dust on the bookshelf with a feather duster, But it's nothing. The big problem is that the old man's stomach is not very comfortable.

Chen Lao nodded, put his mind at ease, then picked up a book and flipped through it, and asked casually, Are there any good books recently?

Before he came, it was the old shopkeeper who recommended books to him. The old shop owner is also a book lover. He opens his own shop, but he always keeps it in his hands, and is happy to recommend his favorite books to customers.

Chen Lao liked old bookstores like this. If they were like big state-owned bookstores and some chain bookstores, they only sold expensive books for profit, or if the clerks were cold, he wouldn't be willing to go to that kind of bookstore!

You're asking the right person! The middle-aged man laughed and laughed, There have been two best-selling books recently. Wait a minute, I'll get them for you!

Chen Lao frowned and said dissatisfiedly, What I want is a good book, what are you doing with the best-selling book for me?

The middle-aged man stuck his head out from the other side of the bookshelf, and he smiled and said, Old Chen, don't worry, I don't know your habits yet? Of course, I recommend good books to you!

Saying that, he brought two books over. Chen Lao took it and looked at it. One was called Soldier Assault and the other was Bright Sword.

The middle-aged man explained: Chen Lao, don't read these two books, they are very popular with young people and their sales are very high. But the author's writing is quite good, both the story and the writing are first-class, my father just read this book. Two books, I can't sleep and forget to eat, which makes my stomach uncomfortable.

Haha, of course, I didn't mean to recommend these two books to you to make you feel sick to your stomach. The middle-aged man himself found the loophole in what he said just now, and laughed.

The old store manager also liked these two books?

Chen Lao's interest picked up. He took these two books and went directly to the cashier. Dove occupied the magpie's nest.

The middle-aged man laughed when he saw Old Chen's casual look, he shook his head, didn't care, and continued to clean the dust with a feather duster.

There is indeed no other place to sit in the store except there, and as Chen Lao, the middle-aged man does not think that the other party will do anything bad.

I don't know how long it took, it was almost noon, and I was hungry, so Chen Laocai reluctantly put away the Bright Sword in his hand and stood up.

The middle-aged man stood at the door and smoked a while ago. When he saw the movement, he hurriedly picked up the cigarette and came back.

Buy these two books! Your recommendation is good, and you have the success of your father. Chen Lao rarely praised.

The middle-aged man looked for money swiftly, and smiled: Then Chen Lao, are you going to shoot the story of these two books in your next TV series?

It turns out that this old Chen is Professor Chen Fengchen of the Beijing Theater Academy, and he is also a famous TV drama director. Almost every year, CCTV broadcasts his TV dramas. He is a high-productivity but high-demanding director!

There are naturally many people who write scripts for Chen Lao, but Chen Lao himself will also dig some excellent works to adapt them into TV series. In the past, the old shop owner recommended Chen Lao a good book that was buried. As a result, Chen Lao found someone to buy the copyright. After the shooting, the next year will be CCTV's new year drama!

Although this allusion is not known to outsiders, the old shop owner still relishes it at home to this day.

Chen Lao was unsmiling. He glanced at the middle-aged man and said, Who knows?

The middle-aged man knew that Chen Lao liked to keep secrets, he smiled and said, Haha, I still want to look forward to it. To be honest, I really hope to see Li Yunlong on TV!

Everyone seems to be a bit controversial about the sales of books. Xiaohan explained that the copyright protection in this world is very good, so correspondingly, the sales of books will be very high. At the same time, because of the high sales, the unit price of a book will also be reduced, which is convenient. More readers have the financial ability to buy. Therefore, Xiaohan said that it is a bit logical to say that sales of tens of millions can be squeezed into the top 100 of the annual bestsellers, and only the top 100 of Chinese books. In the same way, the record market is also the same. The price of a single record is not high, so there will be many people willing to buy records to support the original, and the standard of platinum records will be greatly improved accordingly.
