Chapter 21
Chapter 21
There is only one month left before the release of the album. During this last period, Gao Qiyin added another piece of pure music. It was after he left Le Zhen's house that day that he suddenly got inspiration and wrote it all night.
Le Zhen's hand gradually recovered after the thread was removed. Fortunately, he did not hurt his nerves this time. After the impact of this period, he will be able to recover as before. Of course, he will not be unable to play the guitar.
And Gao Qiyin seemed to be determined to help him protect his hands. Every week when Le Zhen went to Leyin, he would go to Le Zhen's office during his lunch break, take a jar of massage cream, and massage his hands.At first, Le Zhen naturally refused, saying that there was nothing wrong with her left hand, but Gao Qiyin insisted on not giving in, saying that she would feel sore when writing a lot, like when she felt sore after talking on the guitar for a long time, she would massage herself. When the muscles are relaxed.
Although he can't do it himself most of the time, he can only send a message to Le Zhen every day to remind him to apply the massage cream, which is more punctual than the alarm clock.
When it was lunch break, Liang Feng went to the staff cafeteria for dinner. Gao Qi wanted to massage Le Zhen's hands first, so he went up to the tenth floor with massage cream alone.
The door of Le Zhen's office was wide open. He stood at the door and took a look. Le Zhen seemed to be writing something.
He knocked on the door, Le Zhen looked up and saw that he put down the pen, said "Come in", with a calm face, turned over the paper he was scribbling on and put it in the folder beside him .
Gao Qiyin approached and glanced at the paper to reveal a gap in the folder, feeling that the other party was covering something up.
But this was just his intuition for a second, in case it was some confidential document, so he didn't ask, and moved the guest chair on the side of the desk to Le Zhen's side, repeating the habit of the past month.
Le Zhen lowered her eyes, looked at the other party's drooping bangs, and suddenly asked him: "Didn't you say to move the record player down last time, why didn't you take it?"
Although Gao Qiyin responded quickly at that time, he still held the rules in his heart and was not so rampant. If Le Zhen didn't say it, he would have forgotten it, but later he really forgot that there was such a thing.
So he maintained his massage without moving his eyes, and replied, "It's strange to take it off as the boss's personal property."
Le Zhen smiled lightly: "I was so impolite back then, but now I'm more reserved."
Gao Qiyin switched hands and said, "If you want to listen to it, I'll come up and listen to it while you're here, boss. Some music is better shared by two than by one alone."
Le Zhen stopped talking, and after Gao Qiyin finished massaging his right hand, he picked up his coat and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet, let's go down together?"
Because Gao Qi had the same plan, he squinted his eyes and said "OK".
For the next month, Gao Qiyin's main task is to promote.Le Zhen had been featured in business magazines several times before, but she did not expect to have a surprisingly good network in entertainment magazines, and she got a lot of money in the promotion of magazines before the album was released.The content of the interviews is similar, but the photos taken are different. Gao Qiyin thinks that the studio where he stayed the longest this month is probably the studio.
The promotional video has been released in the third wave, and the audition of the entire album has also been released on the official website.The LCD screen outside the nearby shopping mall will play album promotion videos every once in a while, and the places where music promotions were posted are now also pasted with promotional posters. The momentum is only worse than before, especially on Jersey Street and On the company side, a promotion can be seen every two steps, which made Gao Qiyin feel a little embarrassed looking at his face on the street.
After the publicity began, the company conducted a market survey on the expectations of the album.Judging from the survey results, the current publicity effect is similar to what was originally estimated, and the number of people who choose to buy online electronic albums or physical albums is far greater than expected. Although there will be differences between expectations and final album sales, but At present, it seems that following this momentum, the final result will be satisfactory.
At the end of August, the major music software also took the lead in releasing the school song, earning a wave of favorability.
When Fu Ning informed that he could go back to the company to get the final album, Gao Qiyin had just returned from a studio.As soon as he came back, he went to the company's bathroom to take a shower. It was obvious that the air conditioner was turned on for photography, but he changed four or five sets of clothes before and after, and he was sweating sticky.
When he came out of the shower and wiped his hair, he saw Le Zhen waiting in his studio.
It's not a working day on Monday, but Le Zhen only wears a simple T-shirt and a shirt jacket, and puts on more casual pants and shoes on her lower body. Her bangs are put down and rested softly on her forehead.
Hearing the sound, Le Zhen looked up and saw him with wet hair, got up, pushed him into the lounge beside him, pulled out the hair dryer, and said, "Dry your hair, let's go out for a while."
Gao Qiyin pushed the switch, raised his voice amidst a buzzing sound and asked, "Where are you going?"
Le Zhen leaned on the armrest of another sofa, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at him with a smile, but pretended to be mysterious and did not explain.
Gao Qiyin thought he didn't hear, so he turned off the hair dryer and asked again.
Le Zhen still didn't answer, she just straightened up, took a step in front of him, took the hair dryer from his hand, turned it on to the maximum setting and let him blow it, and rubbed her hands on her head logically.
Gao Qi was forced to lower his head slightly, facing Le Zhen's lower abdomen in front of his face, and looking down was an unthinkable part, he closed his eyes to block his sight, and the doubts in his heart had long since dissipated a light.
It wasn't until the noise of the hair dryer stopped again that Le Zhen said, "On the mountain."
Gao Qiyin raised his head suddenly: "What are you going to do on the mountain?"
Le Zhen stopped answering directly: "You will know when you go."
Gao Qiyin didn't ask too much: "Then I'll go get the album first, Fu Ning said the finished product is out."
"I've got it, just go straight away."
After speaking, Le Zhen looked around the lounge again and asked, "Is there a coat here?"
The temperature on the mountain was lower, so Gao Qi went to get a thin coat from the cabinet in the lounge after hearing the news, and the two went down to the parking garage together.
When Le Zhen drove him before, he always drove a black, white and gray business car, which was upright. Although the logo on the front of the car showed that the price might be exaggerated, at least it was relatively low-key.
But now the car in front of Gao Qiyin is very cool at first glance, a red supercar, which is out of place in this cramped parking lot.
At this time, I saw Le Zhen's expression of "Why are you so coquettish", and Le Zhen was not in a hurry, and happily took it, and said calmly, "Get in the car".
After the two got into the car and fastened their seat belts, Gao Qiyin thought: "Are your hands okay?"
Le Zhen smiled at him, and showed him his left hand: "It is also thanks to our big singer who gives me a massage every week, and I am more flexible."
The car drove out of the garage, and the color of the car body became more and more vivid under the afternoon sun. Unfortunately, the performance of the car could not be fully displayed on the congested small road. After leaving the urban area, Le Zhen gradually accelerated, and by the way, he pressed the button to open the roof. canopy.
The sun was too glaring, Le Zhen put on sunglasses, and Gao Qi squinted at him because he looked at him from the side. He felt that this man's relaxed appearance was really special, especially handsome and eye-catching.
Le Zhen said suddenly: "There is still a pair of sunglasses in the glove box, put them on if you feel dry, and your album is also in it."
Gao Qi was already drowsy with some contentment because he was basking in the sun and feasting his eyes. Hearing this, he immediately woke up and opened the glove box. He ignored the sunglasses and took out the album directly.
The outer packaging hadn't been opened yet, so he carefully peeled off the plastic cover, and opened the album with a "click".
On the left is the photo album and lyrics book, and on the right is the CD.There are no longer just a few monotonous words on the surface of the well-designed CD.
Le Zhen said: "I once heard a saying that to test the success of an album is to listen to the album and go for a drive."
Gao Qiyin smacked this sentence in his heart, and then Le Zhen continued to say after a pause: "It's lonely to listen to it alone, so I'm here to invite you to share the music."
Gao Qi turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, and remembered that this was exactly what he said in the office that day.At the beginning, I just wanted to take the opportunity to tease the other party and make some hints, but I didn't expect the other party to really remember it.
There was a faint heat in his heart, and the warmth of the sun shining on the top of his head reminded him of the temperature of the palm of his hand every time the other party rubbed his hair.
Le Zhen glanced at him, seeing that he was in a daze, and asked, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Gao Qi regained his senses, took off the CD and pushed it into the car stereo.
The volume was increased, and the sports car, which was fully exerting its potential, was driving quickly on the empty road. Gao Qiyin couldn't help but raised his hands and shouted "wow" to the sky.
In the unclosed car, the air-conditioning had already exhausted completely. Gao Qi felt that he was already sweating, but he didn't feel as impatient as he did during the morning shooting.On the contrary, he felt extremely happy at this moment. His own music was playing on the stereo, and the people he liked were driving beside him. They were driving on the straight road, and the sun was hanging above, as if the road ahead was bright. .
Le Zhen took the time to glance at the people next to her. Gao Qiyin still put on sunglasses because he couldn't stand the sunlight, making his face look smaller, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.
After more than half an hour, the sports car slowed down and drove up the hill, and stopped beside a platform.
Fortunately, no one else was there. The two unbuckled their seat belts and got out of the car, but did not turn off the engine, and let the stereo continue to sing.They leaned against the railing, looking out from here overlooking the entire city.
Le Zhen thought of something and ran back into the car, brought over two cans of beer and Coke, Gao Qiyin laughed and said, "Music goes with fine wine." It's a pity that Le Zhen still has to drive.
The beer has just been taken out of the car refrigerator, and the taste of alcohol permeates the lungs with a coolness, which makes people feel refreshed.
It's a pity that the time is still early, Le Zhen said: "The sunset here is very beautiful, and I will come back when the weather is cooler."
Before the end of this time, he was already thinking about the next time. Gao Qiyin was already laughing in his heart, so happy that he could write a song on the spot, but he still said the word "yes" with restraint on his face.
The two chatted one after another, and mentioned the music show "The Sound of Music" that they will participate in later. Gao Qiyin said: "The show is scheduled for October [-]th. Boss, are you coming to watch it live?"
It was the National Day Golden Week, so the original one-hour program was extended to two hours, and the major video websites and TV channels broadcast live simultaneously. As planned at the time, Gao Qiyin won one of the performance seats.
Le Zhen took a sip of Coke and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the arrangement."
Le Zhen is currently working with a collaboration with the UK. When she is busy, she doesn't care if it is a statutory holiday or not. Today, she came for a drive to try out the album and took a break from her busy schedule. She has to work overtime to pay off her debts when she returns home.Gao Qiyin understood this, but if the other party really couldn't come, he would inevitably feel disappointed.
Le Zhen glanced at him, as if she could understand what he was thinking, and said jokingly: "When you have a concert, I will squeeze in the first row of the auditorium and raise my hand for you. Let's take a big look at it Do you need any help?"
Even though the matter of the concert hadn't even been written yet, Gao Qiyin instantly smiled and looked at him: "Is the boss so shameless that there are no private boxes and people are crowded in the rock and roll area?"
Le Zhen said: "There is no atmosphere in the private room, and besides, can you see me lifting in the private room?"
Gao Qiyin said, "No matter where you are, I can see it."
Then he withdrew his eyes, seemingly looking at the distant scene, but also seemed to be looking at the not-too-distant future from a distance, he said: "It's not just the boss. When the concert is really held, I will definitely remember everyone I will remember everyone’s face, those in the stands in the infield, those who can listen to my music, and those who like my music.”
The view was over, the wine was over, and the music had already been put to the third round. Gao Qiyin said, "Go back soon? Boss, you still have work."
Le Zhen nodded and said, "Wait a little longer."
Then he went back to the car and came back with something else.
Gao Qiyin complained about him: "Is your sports car Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket? Why can you take out everything."
However, they were muttering in their hearts, if they changed their identities, it would be the engagement ring that they took out under such an atmosphere, anyway, that's how it was played in TV dramas.
It's a pity that they are not, what Le Zhen handed over is a round iron box.
It can be held in one hand, but the size reminds Gao Qiyin of the eight-centimeter-diameter CD in the past, but even if that CD is given away, it is unlikely that he can play it now.
He was full of doubts, and his heart was pounding, almost overshadowing the music.He opened the tin box.
I saw that there were guitar picks neatly arranged in the iron box.
Le Zhen said with a smile: "I wish Qi Yin a great debut, it's a debut gift."
Gao Qiyin took out a piece, the name was designed into a unique font, guitar, synthesizer, he looked at Le Zhen, and asked: "You designed it?"
Le Zhen nodded: "Yes."
Gao Qiyin recalled what the other party put away when he went to Le Zhen's office that day, probably the design drawing of the pick.
He stared back at the familiar details on the pick, thinking again.
Getting to know Le Zhen was the luckiest thing in his 20 years of life.
He put the pick back into the iron box, closed the lid, and hugged Le Zhen violently.
Le Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that one hand was bound by the opponent, so he patted the opponent's back with the other.
And Gao Qiyin buried himself tightly in front of his chest, pressed his eyes, and stopped the tears that he was worried that he would not be able to hold back.
It can be gratitude, or liking, or without any reason, he just wants to hug Le Zhen.
Warm colors surround the two, accompanied by pure singing voices, with the whole city as the background board, outlining the most beautiful picture.
After a long time, Gao Qiyin let go of his hand, and quietly wiped away the overflowing tears. By the way, he looked guiltyly at whether Le Zhen's shirt was stained by himself.Fortunately, the shirt was dark in color, so I didn't see any traces.
Le Zhen raised her hand to rub his head and said, "Okay?"
Gao Qiyin let out an "um", except for some nasal sounds, his face had returned to its original appearance.
The song played on the car has reached the last section of "The Departure Station". Gao Qiyin turned to face the distant view of the city, and sang loudly against the sun——
Go ahead with all your dreams
Even if the roadblock is in the way, just smash it
Raise your hands and let's go crazy together
cut off all back roads
drive forward
On the day of the autumnal equinox, Gao Qi's first original album "Departure Station" was officially released.
