Chapter 9 About to set sail(1/2)
Author: Fan Yitong
After the serious talk was over, the conversation between Jin Shang and Nan Dabiao became much more relaxed.
"Xiao Shang, after you graduate, do you want to go to the football club to practice? Why not come with me to try your luck? There is a lot of potential in the fields of film and television, literature and art, and media."
Competitive sports are not a pure show. They have to be judged based on their true abilities. If they are good, they are good, and if they are not good, they are not good. There are clear standards. They and the film and television industry can brag each other and cheer each other up. You can talk nonsense under the guise of art and have a certain level.
big difference.
"There is no separation between culture and sports. Lao Jin's football club is a bit inferior, but the fan base is still very good."
"It turns out that I have chosen this, so there will be no problem."
If it is popular and attracts many people, the remaining problem is how to harvest the value.
Of course, what Jin Shang cannot say to Nanda Biaoming is that his golden broom also needs a platform to exert its power. If you have golden fingers, you would be a fool not to use them.
When the time is right, Jin Shang is also willing to go with Nan Dabiao to experience the "future" entertainment industry. But it is not possible now. Whether it is making movies, TV series or being involved in the music industry, the risks are too high, the profits are not high, and there is a lot of right and wrong.
The biggest gain tonight is that Jin Shang has a deeper understanding of the use of the golden broom.
During the conversation at the wine table, whenever Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen said something that contained evil intentions, the golden broom would remind him and let Jin Shang choose whether to sweep away the evil spirit.
This malice refers to subjective malice. As long as the other party's intention is to harm Jin Shang, Jin Broom will react, regardless of whether the other party is smart but is mistaken, or has good intentions and does bad things.
Just like Niu Jiangen's intention to sell an antique that he thought was worthless but actually worth tens of millions to Jin Shang for 500,000, it would definitely be discovered. Nan Dabiao kindly invited Jin Shang to work together in the film industry, but he didn't expect it.
You will lose all your money, or even miss good opportunities, and the golden broom will not be able to identify it.
Regardless of the mind or actions, the golden broom allows the holder to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, but it cannot tell the owner what is the most beneficial thing to do.
This requires Jin Shang to have strong judgment and self-decision-making ability.
Most Jin Shang was aware of Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen's malicious deception, but a small number of them still needed Jin Broom's help to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, so that their calculations could be fully restored afterwards.
"No wonder the old Huang family is still in decline even with the ancestral golden finger. This thing is as powerful as it is strong, but it is limited by the owner's ability and knowledge. If one of them is not good, it may even have the opposite effect."
People who treat you well will hurt you the most, and it’s not just a lyric. Which one is more useful, a good person who is foolish and loyal but incompetent, or a person who has no virtue but is talented, and how to use it all depends on whether the person in charge knows people well and is responsible for their duties.
The initial ability of the golden broom is to sweep away the filth of the body and mind, and not to be contaminated by dust. Of course, it only reminds people of mistakes and omissions, and it is up to the individual to correct them or not; the "distinguishing loyalties and traitors" that comes into play this time, to be precise, should be "recognizing loyalties and traitors"
Jin Shang needs to make his own decision about the seriousness of the harm and whether to refuse or not.
The safety of the family and home depends first on the person. If the body is not upright, the trouble will be caused by the weak wall, and even a golden finger can't do anything.
"This way... it's fine. If the "Golden Broom" really takes over the world, that kind of future would be too boring."
The warm feeling from the golden broom hanging on his chest calmed down Jin Shang's somewhat vain heart.
After chatting with Nan Dabiao for a while, Jin Shang was about to leave when he suddenly heard a familiar singing voice coming from below.
"Huh?"
Nan Dabiao turned around and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"The singer at the bar is an acquaintance of mine."
The guys from the Little Mazar Band just parted ways a few days ago, and we met today on such an occasion. What a coincidence, right?
"Are you talking about those college students? They call themselves the 'Zhendian Band'. Their level is average. For the sake of being college students, they gave them a chance to perform. If they are your friends, I will ask the people below to take care of them."
"No need, we have a normal relationship and just have normal interactions."
Without Jin Shang's support, they found this place by themselves. It was considered fate.
"I can sing folk songs quite well. Maybe I will become famous in the future. How many of the popular pop stars who are now famous have also performed on overpasses, subways, and bars before?"
"Xiao Shang, you don't like singing in bars. If you really want to make a name for yourself in this industry, it's actually quite profitable. I know several young people who play underground music. They are quite popular and have a group of fixed and fanatical fans.
I don’t hesitate to spend money to support him. Several bars nearby are rushing to offer high-paying invitations. It’s easy to earn over 10,000 yuan a month. If you work hard, it’s possible to earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.”
"That...is pretty good."
Twenty years later, this level of income would be nothing. The monthly income of over 10,000 yuan in 1995 was quite an exaggeration. Even in the capital, it was not a small amount.
The level of "Zhendian Band" is obviously a bit far away from earning over 10,000 yuan a month, but...
Aren’t all veterans made it through being a rookie?
Who can be sure that these young people who parted ways with Jin Shang will really have no future?
…
After leaving Luyu Music Bar, Jin Shang and Li Xuan wandered around for a while before taking a taxi back to school.
As expected, the door to the dormitory was closed, so the two had to spend the night in a nearby hotel.
The great young man who was determined to cultivate his body and soul yesterday really didn't have much self-control. In front of the big sister who was full of hormones, he fell into the trap without much resistance.
This junior high school girl who is pure, good at flirting, and knows how to use her charm is really a annoying little fairy. Fortunately, Jin Shang is young and has strong recovery ability, otherwise she would really be unable to withstand it.
In the dead of night, the two of them were cuddling together. Just when Jin Shang thought Li Xuan had fallen asleep, the other party suddenly turned over and asked in his ear:
"Still not asleep, are you worried?"
"Fortunately, why are you awake?"
"I remembered some past events! Recently, I feel like you are a bit mysterious. Maybe you are hiding something from me?"
"Don't think too much. I'm just about to graduate and I'm worried about my future. I'm just an ordinary native of the capital. My father does some small business and I have a little bit of money, that's all. What kind of family friends are there? Don't listen to big and small Biao.
Praising, in this circle, there are many snobbery people who praise the superior and disdain the inferior. Don’t believe everything you say when you are bragging at the dinner table.”
"Eh? I thought you two had a good relationship, but it turns out it's nothing more than that."
"Big Biao is more loyal, but Xiao Biao is more cunning. It is true to say that the relationship is good, but it is based on no conflict of interests and sticking together for warmth. If the building is about to collapse, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter.
When the time comes, you probably can’t count on it.”
"Since you have thought so thoroughly, why can't you fall asleep?"
"A little worried, even scared..."
Jin Shang adjusted his somewhat awkward sleeping position to make himself more comfortable, and then patiently answered,
"I have some experience in dealing with people like Da Biao and Xiao Biao. After all, they are acquaintances in the same circle. They know the basics and have a minimum bottom line. However, what I want to do in the future will mostly be with Lin Jun and Niu Jiangen.
Dealing with strangers..."
When you step out of your comfort zone, you must be more vigilant.
A society of strangers follows rules full of mistakes or unspoken rules. The vast majority of people are law-abiding, but the harm caused by a very small number of bad people is also terrible.
"People like them will never follow the rules as long as they can. They will jump back and forth on the red line of the law. Even if they make strangers miserable, they will most likely not bear a high price."
The scary thing is not Manager Lin and Director Niu, they have limited moral character and are not worth mentioning. What worries Jin Shang is that there are not just one or two such people in society, and not everyone is as easy to get rid of as they are.
Adults only talk about interests, only children can distinguish right from wrong.
Jin Shang's life in his previous life followed a fixed trajectory. When he was a child, he was protected by his parents and school. When he grew up, he had a workplace to protect him from wind and rain. All he had to do was study and work step by step and live abiding by the law.
This world is different. If you don't want to live a mediocre life, you must step into the jungle full of hyenas and wolves to fight, and compete with the reckless heroes in the city made of steel forests.
These...are two completely different lives.
The memories of past lives, apart from providing necessary knowledge and insights, are no longer of much use in terms of survival philosophy; from birth to now in this life, in the eighteen years of experience, there have been very few moments where I have truly been on my own.
"Little brother, when you grow up, you have to be ready to see the world."
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but hugged Jin Shang's arm with her broad and gentle heart.
"Are you excited about the unknown world, but also a little scared?"
"No, what I'm afraid of is that my position, identity, and moral values have restricted my own hands and feet. I don't want to die even if I lose to those bastards I don't like."
The shopping mall is like a battlefield. In the competition of life, there is no room for mercy. If you tie your arms before you go into battle, how can you compete in the same field?
The Golden Broom is a powerful supplement, but the uncertainty is too high and you should not rely too much on it.
"I think, isn't this better?"
"are you serious?"
"Although I don't know much about what you are going to do and what you are going to face. However, it is normal for you to look down on those guys who have no bottom line and not want to be compared. If you are really like them, use'
Are you really happy if your dirty tricks win? The price of getting rid of the smog is that you will be stained with ashes and no longer clean and pure. Are you willing?"
The enlightening words made Jin Shang silent for a long time before he sighed and responded:
"That's right. When the two armies are facing each other, if they don't let a single car, a horse, or a cannon go, how can I show my ability, sir?"
Jin Shang entangled Li Xuan's hand, intertwined his fingers, and held it tighter.
"When I was young, my grandpa taught me that maturity means knowing the world without being worldly. When I glimpsed the shadows of the world, I thought I had the key to success. The so-called smart people who join in the same trend are weak people who have chosen to surrender; they are only accustomed to seeing things.
He who remains true to his heart despite the sunshine and rain, the joys and sorrows, is the truly great man."
As she spoke, Li Xuan involuntarily hugged Jin Shang's head, which was close to each other, and ruffled his hair lovingly.
"Your grandpa is really good at talking and he understands me. Yes, he will go to my warehouse tomorrow to send a few bottles of good wine to me."
Jin Shang, who felt a little hot, struggled a few times, but finally couldn't bear to break away from the embrace of the junior high school girl, muttering angrily.
