Chapter 1257 1358. The midsummer of that year

The interview lasted only ten minutes. Before leaving, Wan Ting gave Nie Wei a gift, which was the guitar she used when she played in the band.

"This guitar was used when I made music with my band friends. Now I may not be able to pursue that dream of music anymore, but I hope to give you my original 'dream'. I think you can help me realize this dream and let those bands with the same dream as me stand on a bigger stage."

"Thank you, can I open it and take a look?" Nie Wei did not refuse and took the guitar case generously.

"Of course, it's just that my guitar is very ordinary." Wan Ting said a little embarrassedly.

Hearing Wan Ting's words, Nie Wei just smiled, then opened the guitar case, and what came into view was a brown classical guitar, and the brand was also the most common Martini in China.

Nie Wei took out the guitar, gently plucked the strings with his fingertips, and showed a little surprise.

Because the guitar's tone is very accurate, there is no need to adjust it at all, and the guitar has no signs of aging. It can be seen that Wan Ting has maintained this guitar very well and really cherishes it.

"You suddenly gave me such a precious guitar, and I didn't prepare any gifts. I'm a little embarrassed." Nie Wei said with a smile while holding the guitar.

Wan Ting waved her hand quickly, indicating that she didn't need to return the gift.

She gave the gift to Nie Wei, which was quite abrupt. When she took out the gift to give it to Nie Wei, the photographer and another recording colleague who followed were stunned. The photographer's hands even trembled and almost dropped the camera.

Nie Wei neither blamed her abruptness nor disliked her ordinary gift. This was perfect for Wan Ting. She had never thought about returning the gift from the beginning.

Just when Wan Ting's thoughts were flying, Nie Wei suddenly said: "It just so happens that there is such a good guitar. How about I sing a song for you as a return gift?"

Oh!

This time, even Wan Ting opened her mouth wide and looked at Nie Wei in disbelief. When she came to her senses the next second, she immediately nodded vigorously.

"This song has not been officially released yet. Remember to keep it secret after listening to it." Nie Wei smiled and reminded the three people present, then stretched his fingers slightly, and plucked the strings under the expectant eyes of the three people.

As soon as the prelude was played, Wan Ting heard that this was not rock music, because many rock music actually have a fixed pattern at the beginning. This should be a pop song.

Wan Ting was a little disappointed. She actually wanted to hear Nie Wei sing a rock song for her.

Nie Wei played very slowly, and the prelude was very soothing, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Gradually, Wan Ting also let go of the little regret in her heart and listened to Nie Wei's singing attentively.

"Just come back, come back, someone is waiting for you, this midsummer when you close your eyes."

Nie Wei opened his mouth, and the eyes of the three audience members lit up at the same time. Wan Ting looked at Nie Wei with great envy, feeling that Nie Wei's voice was really beautiful, and the clear voice was like the purest lake. The slight magnetism did not affect the clarity of the voice, but was like a ripple on the clear lake surface blown by the wind, adding a quiet charm.

For a while, Wan Ting even felt that the song "Straight to the Point" that Nie Wei sang on stage a few days ago was a waste of his voice. He should sing those love songs. With this voice, no matter how bad the love song was, it would make the girls' hearts beat wildly when it came to his mouth.

But soon, Wan Ting's attention shifted from Nie Wei's voice to the song itself.

To be precise, it was the lyrics that made her eyes gradually lose focus and lose her mind.

"That was a sigh at sunset. Yesterday has gone far away. Where should we go tomorrow? Those shining us in the photo frame, have you forgotten what happened in the summer?"

At this point, Nie Wei suddenly paused, looking at Wan Ting with a dazed look, watching her gradually come back to her senses, and then continued to sing.

"Under the old tree beside the railway, a few crows called hoarsely, but no one answered, or whistled past, passing through the loneliness and prosperity, the young people who used to be, do you miss me too?"

Wan Ting covered her mouth with her hands, afraid of crying out loud, but the tears in her eyes could not be suppressed. The photographer uncle and another reporter beside her also looked like they were immersed in memories.

At this moment, Wan Ting felt that she was no longer listening to a song, but her own story in the midsummer of that year.

Graduation season is the most anticipated and saddest moment for every student. Four years ago, everyone came together from all over the world and lived together for four years. During these four years, they were the most familiar with each other. In these four years, everyone spent more time together than with their families.

And when facing graduation and separation, isn’t it just like what the song says, no one will answer you anymore.

At this moment, Wan Ting seemed to take out her phone and contact those numbers that she hadn’t dialed for a long time, asking them, do you remember what happened in those years?

She knew that those friends must remember, just like she remembered.

She remembered the band’s drummer Lao Tao, a Mingzhu native, who loved Sichuan cuisine very much, especially Mapo Tofu, and every time she ordered this dish in a restaurant, she would specifically ask the chef to add spicy and spicy flavor.

There is also keyboardist Li Li, who always claims to be the best keyboardist in the band. Wan Ting still remembers that his dream is to become a pianist like Lang Lang and want to perform a solo piano concert in Vienna's Golden Hall.

There is also another guitarist in the band, Da Mao, who is always smiling silly and thick, but bursts out the most fanatical energy on the stage. I don't know if he has succeeded in losing weight and has reached his ideal weight of 80 kilograms?

"But time is disobedient and always urges people to grow up. The journey from one stop to the next can never stop. Just forget it slowly, because you can't go back. This is the midsummer when you have everything when you close your eyes."

Nie Wei's singing continued. Wan Ting's eyes were blurred with tears and her vision gradually blurred. She couldn't see Nie Wei who was close at hand, but she seemed to see several very familiar figures. Obviously, only Nie Wei's singing sounded in her ears, but she seemed to hear familiar fighting, laughing and scolding, as well as frustrated sighs and encouraging shouts.

There were also the screams of crying and holding heads when the band announced its disbandment because they all went their separate ways after graduation. These sounds kept echoing in Wan Ting's ears, as if those old friends were still by her side.

"Sorry." Nie Wei stopped singing and took a few tissues from the table and handed them to Wan Ting, who was crying non-stop, with an embarrassed expression.

He didn't expect that his song would make Wan Ting cry.

"It's okay, I lost my composure, Mr. Nie, can I ask what the name of this song is?" Wan Ting wiped her tears with a tissue and asked anxiously with red eyes.

"It's called Midsummer, because in China, all schools have graduation seasons in midsummer." Nie Wei replied: "This song is actually a song I wrote for the Beijing Electric Graduation Ceremony this year."

"It's really a good song. Do you have any idea of ​​making it into a song?" Wan Ting asked hurriedly when she heard it.

She was really afraid that Nie Wei had no intention of producing it. After all, the record industry is not surprising nowadays. More than 80% of songs are losing money. Therefore, many singers write songs that are obviously very nice, but there are only concert versions, because these songs have never been officially produced. Only when the concert is held will the singer sing it once as a benefit to give back to the fans.

Of course, Nie Wei’s songs are not worried about losing money, but the key is that Nie Wei is busy.

He has so much work in a day, and he may forget such a song in a moment, but Wan Ting, who has heard this song, attaches great importance to it. She likes this song so much that it really seems to be brought back to the summer of graduation that year.

"Is this a formal interview?" Nie Wei asked jokingly while putting away his guitar.

Wan Ting couldn't help laughing and replied with a smile: "It's not an interview, it's my personal question, Mr. Nie, can you give me an answer? I really like this song very much."

Nie Wei stopped joking and said directly: "The song has been authorized to Beijing Electric, and a Beijing Electric graduate version will be released soon. In addition, this song will also be included in the next chapter of the group album of our company's girl group HELLOGIRLS."

Hearing this, Wan Ting couldn't help but look at her regretful expression. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Mr. Nie, won't you sing it yourself? Your voice is very suitable for this song, so contagious. When I heard you sing this song, it really seemed like I was back to the summer of graduation that year."

"If you can come and sing this song in person, it will be the most perfect interpretation of this song."

Wan Ting asked very seriously, but Nie Wei still shook his head and told her that he had no plans to release the song, which made Wan Ting lower her head again in disappointment.

"You have such a good voice, it's a pity if you don't become a singer."

"What's a pity?" Nie Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw Wan Ting's aggrieved look, and then explained: "When I started to be an actor, I don't know how many bosses of modeling companies saw me and told me that it would be a pity not to be a model with my appearance, figure and temperament. If I were a model, they would definitely make me an international supermodel."

"But in fact, I am also very successful without being a model. My acting career is very successful, my directing career is also very successful, and my business is very successful."

"In fact, you can also be a model, and you can also be a singer. You will definitely be very successful." Wan Ting raised her little fist, cheered Nie Wei and encouraged him to become a singer.

Such childish behavior, the two colleagues couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands and moved away from Wan Ting. They really couldn't stand it. For a song, it was necessary to do this?

And it was to fool Nie Wei?

If the superiors in the station knew about this, Wan Ting would probably lose 80% of her bonus this month, and maybe everyone would be implicated. Thinking of this, the two looked at each other silently and unanimously decided that this matter must be kept secret.

Nie Wei seemed to have known that Wan Ting would say this, and smiled and replied: "But haven't you noticed that I will do everything very dedicatedly."

"Being an actor is like this. After I became a director, I gradually let go of my identity as an actor. But I haven't given up the idea of ​​being a director, let alone the idea of ​​becoming a singer, so I'm sorry."

Nie Wei clearly rejected Wan Ting.

Wan Ting did not persuade him any more. She actually knew that she was wasting her breath. Nie Wei was such a big shot. How could he change his mind just because of her two words? But she still felt it was a pity. Such a good song, whether it was the group of graduates or HELLO GIRLS, would definitely not be as good as Nie Wei's interpretation.

But Nie Wei didn't want to eat, and she had no choice. She knew that persuading him any more would be annoying. She did not show regretful expression or sigh in front of Nie Wei again. Instead, she generously extended her hand and shook hands with Nie Wei, and once again praised Nie Wei's song just now, saying that this was the best gift she had received.

If her eyes were still a little red because of the tears just now, this would definitely be a very perfect ending.

Nie Wei's secretary sent the group downstairs. After the three of them got into the interview car, the oldest photographer couldn't help but say, "Wan Ting, your performance just now was a little inappropriate."

"I know, it's mainly because the song sung by Nie Wei brought back my memories. I won't do it again next time." Wan Ting apologized sincerely. She knew that she had lost her composure during the last time she was in Nie Wei's office.

But she didn't regret it at all. Instead, she was glad that she had the courage to give the guitar and got a good song.

Wan Ting admitted her mistake so readily that the photographer couldn't scold her anymore. He just told her to pay more attention in the future and started the car.

The car drove smoothly to the TV station. Wan Ting, who was sitting in the back seat, closed her eyes. If someone approached, they would hear her humming a melody.

"Come back, come back, this midsummer where you have everything when you close your eyes..."

The interview with Nie Wei was officially released on the Pearl News column in the evening of the second day. The full five minutes were the greatest sincerity given by the Pearl TV.

Because they have already acquired the copyright of the program for 250 million.

This price even exceeds the copyright fee of the second season of The Rap of China, which already has a popular base. You should know that the price of the second season of The Rap of China, Fanxing, was only 180 million.

However, Mingzhu TV did not lose money. As soon as they acquired the copyright, they spread the word that many big brands wanted to come and compete for the title sponsorship, and the price was also steadily rising.

This is also the main reason why Mingzhu TV has been cooperating with Fanxing in recent years. Fanxing's variety shows have not made Mingzhu TV lose money so far. Thinking that these variety shows have high ratings and do not require the TV station to trouble its own people, this cooperative relationship has been maintained.

Until now, it has even become dependent on Fanxing's schedule to a certain extent.
