Chapter 399 - New Years Goal! (1/2)
Inside the changing room.
It was past 11 PM.
The two of them were still speaking in whispers. As no one knew if everyone outside had completely gone, or if someone else had come in.
”Hold on.” Old Zhang said nonchalantly.
”OK.” Zhang Ye responded.
Zhang Yuanqi pulled the curtain and went out to take a look. A few seconds later, she walked back in. ”Alright, you can come out.”
Being able to see the light of day again, Zhang Ye heaved a sigh of relief. ”It's all thanks to you today. If not for you rescuing me, I would not been able to come out and would have been scratched to death.”
Zhang Yuanqi said, ”About the single, I'll get someone to talk to you about it tomorrow.”
Zhang Ye happily said, ”There's no need to talk about it. Give me any price you think is right. Then send me the contract. I'll sign it and send it back to you. You can mail it to me once you sign it too.” He still wanted to spend the rest of the new year's with his parents, so he did not want to go out to discuss matters as it was troublesome.
”Alright.” After saying that, Zhang Yuanqi opened the door and looked out. ”There's no one, so I'm leaving to you to your own devices.”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, ”Alright. Go for your celebration supper. Oh right, here's me wis.h.i.+ng you a happy new year.”
”Happy new year to you too.” Zhang Yuanqi did not speak further as she walked away in her heels.
Zhang Ye watched her leave. Upon hearing some footsteps, Zhang Ye hurriedly pretended he was walking past and walked over.
”Ha, Zhang Ye?”
”It's really Teacher Zhang!”
Three Central TV staff came. One of them did not know Zhang Ye, but the other two recognized him at a glance!
Zhang Ye laughed, ”Well-wishes for the new year.”
”Have a good year too.” A male employee said, ”'Woman Flower' was too good!”
Another female employee also said excitedly. ”That's right. This is the most touching song I heard this year! Teacher Zhang, I wish you good health. I hope you would continue bringing us even more excellent works in the coming year. I'm already looking forward to it. You might not know, but many of our female colleagues cried backstage when listening to your song!”
Zhang Ye said humbly, ”It was Sister Zhang and Grandma Zhang who sang it well.”
A few people exchanged a few words with Zhang Ye before they left to busy themselves with their own matters.
Suddenly, his cellphone rang.
The number was from his maternal grandma's house.
Zhang Ye hurriedly picked it up. ”h.e.l.lo?”
”Son!” It was Mom's voice. ”Are you still busy?”
Zhang Ye said, ”I'm done, but I won't be able to make it in time, so I probably won't be able to pa.s.s the new year with the family. Tell my grandma and granddad.”
”It's fine. Mom just wants to ask you something.” Mom asked urgently. ”The 'Woman Flower' you wrote, who is it for?”
Zhang Ye said oddly, ”It's for Sister Zhang and Zhang Xia?”
Mom did not like hearing that. ”I'm not asking who you gave it to sing.”
Dad's voice came from the phone. ”You Mom is asking you if the creative inspiration of this song was because of her. Did you write it for her.”
Ah?
What?
Zhang Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, but he immediately said, ”Yes, yes. Of course it's for Mom. All the creative inspiration came from Mom.”
Mom laughed joyfully. ”Haha, alright son. That's all.”
Before the phone hung up, Zhang Ye heard his Mom say to his family on the other side, ”Heard that!? What did I say? What did I say?”
Zhang Ye: ”...”
Mom was such a person. She loved to brag and act awesome!
Hai, let her brag then. Anyway it did not matter who it was written for. Zhang Ye would not lose a piece of flesh as a result. It was the new year, so he had to make Mom happy.
Outside.
In the lobby.
Many celebrities, who had finished their performances, were gathered here. They were watching a large screen which showed the live broadcast. It was very clear and was even better than watching television at home. There were not many big stars here. They probably had gone to the celebratory supper together with Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia. The ones left behind were mostly extras for the Spring Festival Gala or less famous people.
