Chapter 2 Can you imagine performing Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan songs on the same stage?

The long street, the endless rain, I pushed open one door after another, there were many people in each door, and there was no sound in each door.But still feel noisy. Yes, noise is a kind of feeling, just like the flying catkins all over the sky and the crowded streets are a kind of feeling, they do not have to be perceived through human senses, but can have independent vitality, springing from people's hearts. The philosopher said: I think, therefore I am.The same goes for noise and splendor.They exist not because of sound and color per se, but because of feeling. In the feeling, I am not myself, but just a bunch of thoughts, wandering lightly in the alleys of memory, meeting and not being close to many karma in previous lives.

Those doors are high and heavy, and I didn't push them open with strength, but with thought, and when I tried to open them, they opened, but the opening was like closing, because I could see the crowd in the door, But he couldn't hear them, so he couldn't go in.I'm just a bystander outside the door. There was a door that I couldn't open no matter what, it was heavy and wet and covered with slippery moss, and I stood outside crying, not knowing why I wanted to go in so much.All I know is that not being able to open it makes me feel alone and defeated and overwhelmed.I cry like a little girl.

At this time, the door opened, and the sun shone in, bright and fragrant. The person standing in the sun said to me: "Are you here?" Meng woke up at this time, the sun filled the window. I am surprised.I have never had the habit of going to bed at noon.Never had such a dream. In my dreams, I have seen many doors, and I often dream of those doors. There are some memories closed in each door, but no one has ever spoken to me, and no sound has ever come out of the door.But just now, they spoke to me, and said very clearly: "Are you here?" Moreover, this is the first dream with sunshine.

This puts me in a good mood for the upcoming appointment. The phone rang right at this time, and it was Xiao Li. He jokingly said that this is the time-telling service of the communication station, reminding me that it was time to meet Dynasty Company, and asked if he would take me there. I knew that he didn't want to see those two difficult female managers, and Dynasty was not far from the hotel, so I asked the way and decided to drive there by myself. The car slowly drove up to the parking lot of Dynasty Building, and a young security guard in blue uniform and white gloves trotted up to meet him, pointed out the parking space with very standard gestures, and opened the door for me.

I smiled and thanked me for getting out of the car, and I was somewhat willing to cooperate with Wang Dynasty.No matter how large a project is, it has to be built brick by brick from the foundation. The success of business negotiations sometimes depends on a small detail.I once heard a true story about a three-star hotel that lost its bid for a 100-person Indonesian tourist group just because of the dust on the chandelier in the lobby during the competition for the peak tourist season this spring.Today, just from the security service, we can already see the dynasty's management, which is a place with rules.

The automatic door opened in front of me silently. Just as I stepped into the lobby, the front desk lady greeted me with a smile on her face: "Is it Ms. Tang from Taiwan's 'Zaishengyuan'? The two managers of our company's creative department and production department are waiting in the conference room. You, please follow me." Obviously, she had seen my faxed photo before, so she could recognize me immediately, without a single interrogation. The goodwill in my heart is even more. The lobby of Dynasty is beautifully decorated, it is more like a star hotel than an office building.Mica floor, crystal ceiling, gorgeous, but not vulgar, showing off and reserved just right.The most special thing is that the decorative pictures on the two walls of the corridor are not printed versions of a famous painting, but real photos.I recognize quite a few famous women among them, and they are all popular female stars in the Mainland—this is probably one of the company's performances. Dynasty should have done a lot in their promotion and packaging. Bar?One of the women's portraits is accompanied by a famous quote from her: "Just want to be a normal person."

Just want to be a normal person?Tch, how unusual does she think she is?How many films have you acted in, won an award once or twice, divorced, and filed a lawsuit, have you become extraordinary?I really just want to be an ordinary person, and I would never yell out loudly like this, so I yell because I want to be unordinary too much. Thinking wildly all the way, I followed the front desk lady into the meeting room. When I saw the two young female managers sitting inside, I couldn't remember the picture I just saw, even the pictures of all the women I had seen before. The image no longer exists, and there are only these two women left in the world: one is noble and the other is charming; Only a men's watch; the other wears a gorgeous and complicated dress, with exaggerated large folds and iconic geometric shapes. Even the blind can see that it is the signature design of "Issey Miyake".

I couldn't help but gasp: This girl is wearing a Guanyin statue of Guangdong jade on her body. But she is also really worthy of "Issey Miyake". Her slender figure, lively eyebrows, and charming smile are all perfectly matched with the clothes on her body, making people look pretty but not ostentatious. The most rare thing is that the two managers are completely different in terms of dressing habits and temperament, but they are both amazingly beautiful.I can't judge which of them is more beautiful, and I can't think of a third beauty besides them.Imagination suddenly became poor, because their faces have filled all my imagination.After being shocked, he didn't know how to be polite, so he only said the most honest sentence: "Hello, I'm Tang Shi, the general manager of 'Zai Zai Yuan' Jade Ware Shop."

"Hello!" The short-haired lady raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm Song Ci, the production manager of Dynasty Advertising." Song Ci.She said her name was Song Ci.And she herself is indeed like a very clear, beautiful and unrestrained Song Ci.Is it "the great river is going east"?Or "Wild Wind and Moon on the Willow Bank"? It seems that there is a cool wind blowing from ancient times, awakening the memories sleeping deep in the lotus pond. The Song Ci in front of me is not a real person, but from the door of my dream.She has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she smiles like a flower, as if she will say at any moment: "Are you here?"

"Did you think she was joking?" Another long-haired lady obviously misunderstood my silence, and turned from the side with a smile: "It's true. Her name is really Song Ci, and I, my name is Yuan Ge , creative department manager." The two of them immediately took out their business cards and presented them to each other. As expected, they were called "Song Ci" and "Yuan Ge" respectively. No one would believe such a coincidence when it was written into a script. No wonder Xiao Li said that I was destined to be with Dynasty. Now I understand what his so-called "surprise" is.

Then the meeting started. Song Ci rang the bell and called the little girl to pour out "Biluochun". The green tea leaves floated up and down in the cup, with clear flags and guns, and the aroma was tangy. In the midst of the tea, I suddenly felt that this situation seemed familiar. Many years ago, there was such an afternoon, right?The three of us are together, tasting tea, chatting, playing jade, and even quarreling.quarrel?why? I feel dazed. Yuan Ge asked: "Miss Tang, have you read the proposal? Is it satisfactory?" It was an ordinary sentence, but when it came out of her mouth, there was a soul-stirring charm. I couldn't help laughing: "Call me by my name." While taking out the photos of jade ornaments exhibited this time, I spread them out one by one. "This time, the total value of the antique jade articles that we are going to put up for auction at the 'Zaishengyuan' Jade Shop is about 10 million yuan. For the sake of safety, I will first bring 108 pieces of jade ornaments for publicity this time, mainly 'New imitation', only a few pieces are 'really old'. The total value is about two million." I asked the two managers: "We have learned about the glorious achievements of the dynasty in the past, but what I want to know is, for What is the difference between your publicity methods and other advertising companies for the 'Rebirth' Jade Jewelry Exhibition this time?" "Dynasty is never the same as others," Yuan Ge said quickly. As expected of the manager of the creative department, he is eloquent and eloquent. "Jade culture has a history of more than 7,000 years in China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius has made a very vivid evaluation of jade, endowing it with profound moral connotation, and summed up eleven qualities such as benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, propriety, music, loyalty, morality, and Tao. Therefore, jade is not just a decoration. It is a kind of cultural taste. The focus of our publicity this time is to publicize its unique cultural charm..." Obviously, Yuan Ge had already done a lot of preparatory work before this, and now he recounted it like memorizing homework.Although the content is blunt, the posture is very beautiful, the body is slightly tilted, the left leg is pressed on the right leg, assisted by gestures, the eyes are shining, and the chatter is endless, not like a female manager in a meeting, but like a female star accepting an interview with a reporter. I smiled, not only amused by her show off, but also moved by her seriousness. There was a soft taste in her clear voice, like the fragrance of flowers in early spring, which made people ecstasy.Moreover, the way she talks in a hurry is very similar to a person, who is she like?I can't remember at the moment. Amidst the fragrance of tea, only Yuan Ge's voice echoed. "...Our preliminary plan for publicity is as follows. In addition to the normal print media advertisements, we plan to hold a large-scale jade jewelry show before the official auction. We will invite the most famous modeling agencies to perform, and the news Spread it out. This way, you won’t have to worry about media reporters not taking the initiative to come to get news and do publicity on your behalf. It saves money and has a significant effect. Ms. Tang, what do you think?" I recovered from the trance, and I had to think about it before I could clear my mind: "The overall idea is very good, but modeling performances are also very common nowadays, and various fashion shows and jewelry shows are not uncommon, unless Invite first-class international supermodels, otherwise it will be difficult to attract media attention." "That is, just go big blindly, without considering the budget cost at all." Surprisingly, Song Ci actually spoke on my side. Yuan Ge glanced at her, but when he turned to me, he immediately changed into a smile: "We have also considered this, so we mainly plan to make some gimmicks on the theme of the venue, enhance the cultural meaning of the show, and make it different from ordinary clothes show……" "How to do it?" "The specific method..." Yuan Ge changed his sitting posture to press his right leg on his left leg, hesitating slightly. "In terms of specific methods, we can come up with some new tricks." It was Song Ci who answered, "Since ancient times, beauty is like jade and sword is like rainbow. If you put martial arts performances at the same time as jade ornaments, use the masculinity of swords to set off The feminine beauty of Chuyu must have a different response." "Performing martial arts on the catwalk? I've never heard of it." Yuan Ge disdainfully pressed his left leg on his right again, "Imagine, after a group of charming models leave the stage, a few martial arts fighters suddenly appear Dancing guns and sticks, and then the gongs and drums stopped, and then some beautiful women came out and walked on the stage. 'Roses stewed pork', what is it?" "What is 'what and what'? Martial arts performances are not necessarily dancing with guns and clubs." Song Ci argued, "In Chinese classical culture, martial arts and art have always been inseparable. Li Bai is both a poet and a swordsman, and Aunt Gongsun dances swords Adding inspiration to cursive script is a typical example of the fusion of culture and martial arts. Besides, what’s so good about a show with only women and no men?” "But this is jade jewelry, not clothing. How abrupt is it for a big man to wear jewelry? It's not a gay show." "That's why we invite them to dance swords. This is the combination of hardness and softness, which complement each other." Yuan Ge got angry and picked up the textbook again: "Confucius said, 'If you read a gentleman, you will be warm like jade'. Jade is the embodiment of a gentle gentleman, and it is a kind of gentle ornament. How can it be combined with martial arts? ?” "Then you can get a glimpse of it, and you only know one and don't know the other." Song Ci spent a lot of time, four or two thousand gold, "Jade is not just an ornament, it was also used for funerals, rituals and weapons at the earliest. It was earlier than Confucius, There was an 'era of jade soldiers' in Chinese history." "The Jade Soldier Era?" Yuan Ge was startled, and pressed his right leg on top of his left, with a bewildered expression on his face. In the discussion, I noticed two things: 1. Both Song Ci and Yuan Ge are not only beauties, but also talented women, quite rare advertising wizards; Two, the two are at odds. I can't blame Xiao Li for saying that they are difficult to deal with. When meeting such smart and sharp female managers, besides being difficult, there really is no other word to describe them. Seeing that the two of them were at war, someone knocked on the door suddenly, and the girl who brought tea came in. She looked at Song Ci Yuange and then at me, and said shyly, "Miss, is that Toyota car at the door yours?" I nodded: "It's mine, why?" "The security guard Ah Qing said that there is a truck coming, and there is not enough space for traffic at the door, so I want to ask the lady to move the truck." I thought for a while, then took out the key and handed it to her: "I'm in a meeting here, and it's not convenient to go away. Please ask Mr. Security to move it for me, okay?" Discussion continues. I explained to Yuan Ge: "Miss Song was right just now. The word 'Jade Soldier Era' comes from Yuan Kang's "Yue Jue Shu Bao Jian Pian". , is to grind jade into a ring and put it on the arm. The edge is very thin, like a blade, which can be taken off at any time for darts or chopping, as a hunting tool and a weapon against attacks. Because the texture of jade is relatively ordinary The stone is soft and decorative, so over time, even when they are not hunting, people like to wear a beautiful stone ring on their hands. Perhaps, this is the earliest jade bracelet. But this saying only exists in antiques There is no accurate textual research in the legend of the family, and it is not as popular and clear as Confucius' theory on jade, so few people know it. In people's concept, jade has gradually changed from a weapon to a ritual weapon. The so-called "a gentleman has no reason" , Jade can't leave the body', it has become a kind of ornament." "That's it..." Yuan Ge wavered, "In this way, it would be interesting to combine jade ornaments and sword dances together. We can consider letting warriors wear animal skin costumes that represent ancient times..." "Put on the mask again." Song Ci added. Yuan Ge nodded: "The mask of the Nuo Dance increases its tension and makes it more exciting." "The models' clothing should be as soft as possible, in sharp contrast to the men's animal skins." "The theme can be adjusted slightly." "It saves a lot of money." The opinions of the two finally gradually agree.While we were having a lively conversation, the little girl came in a hurry and forgot to knock on the door. She was sweating and blushing. She stood at the door staring at me gasping for breath, but was speechless for a moment. Yuan Ge was very coquettish: "What's the panic? Didn't you see that there is a meeting here?" The little girl shivered with fright, and was even more speechless. I hurried over: "Are you looking for me?" Only then did the little girl tremblingly hold back a sentence: "Miss, your car crashed, you...you should come out and have a look yourself." Song Ci was surprised: "Is there such a thing?" Yuan Ge clasped his fists in prayer: "My God, I really should ask that Ah Qing to go away, such a trivial matter can't be done well!" The meeting had to be suspended, and I walked out, and sure enough, I saw the rear of my car rubbed against the waist of a large truck, and I couldn’t move. He stepped forward in a whisper: "Miss, yes, I'm sorry, I, I will pay." "Can you afford it?" Yuan Ge said quickly, "You can't do such a small thing well, how do you work?" I felt sorry, and quickly stopped Yuan Ge: "You can't blame him, I'll call the insurance company and let them handle it." I looked at the security guard, "Your name is Ah Qing, right?" He nodded honestly, not knowing the answer. I smiled and asked again: "Do you have a driver's license?" He still just nodded.I clapped my hands easily: "That's okay. The insurance company will deal with it. It's my fault. I should have moved the car by myself, but I have to trouble you to do it for me. I'm sorry." Hearing this sentence, Ah Qing raised his head suddenly, and looked at me blankly, his eyes were full of astonishment, gratitude, and overjoyed, and all kinds of emotions were entangled, expressed so clearly and passionately, which made me feel embarrassed instead. The little girl exclaimed with joy: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Yuan Ge made fun of: "What's the matter with you here? Ah Qing is in trouble, and you need to thank you so much?" The little girl blushed, turned around and ran away. Yuan Ge smiled even more coquettishly.Song Ci looked at me and nodded lightly: "There are bandits and gentlemen, who are as sharp as they are, and they are as sharp as grinding..." This is a sentence in "The Book of Songs·Wei Feng", which describes the noble character of a gentleman, like finely ground jade.I couldn't afford such praise, so I hurriedly said, "Since it's all right, let's continue the meeting." At the same time, I suddenly thought of the young man I saw in the courtyard in the morning, "There are gangsters, they are as sharp as they are, and they are as sharp as grinding." " These few words are not bad to describe him. Discussions come to the final and most important stage. "Which modeling agency should I hire? Who is the top one?" "Is the sword dance performance looking for a martial arts team or a dance team? Are there any special requirements for the venue?" "What style is the background music in?" "How to notify the media? Do you want to co-organize with a TV station?" Song Ci and Yuan Ge quarreled again. They would have disagreements in almost every link, and I often had to participate in my opinions to come up with an answer. At first I couldn't figure out why the company dared to send two people to receive customers at the same time when they were so at odds.But gradually, I guessed the beauty of this: because the opinions of two people are often at odds, if you disagree with this, you will definitely agree with the other.And each has a good reason and a complete plan to convince customers to cooperate with the company.In this way, no matter which of the two wins, the company benefits equally.The boss of the dynasty does have a plan to rule a dynasty. During the dispute, Song Ci suddenly trembled with one hand, pulling at the neckline from time to time.A jade bi was jumping out from the neckline. I accidentally saw it, and was suddenly dumbfounded. After a while, I stuttered and asked, "Miss Song, can I see your jade?" "Of course." Song Ci readily took the jade pendant from his neck. I immediately held it tightly in my hand, as if I was holding my own life, and my heart almost stopped beating. This is an extremely perfect dragon-patterned jade bi, at a glance, it can be seen that it is an unearthed ancient jade, because the case has a lustrous luster, it was buried in the ground for many years, after it was stained with dyeing, it was treasured with popularity, and the jade was slowly counted ten years of achievement.The whole body is emerald green, and the bottom end suddenly turns white, with a hint of blue-black. The jade craftsman adapted to local conditions and carved the emerald part into a dragon, but on the jade part, he carved clouds and clouds along the natural lines. The knife is exquisite and delicate. Like a strand of hair, it rises above the clouds like a dragon and a dragon, and it is so ingeniously crafted.Having not seen the sun for many years has not damaged its vigor, on the contrary, it has given it a gentle and subtle beauty. The most beautiful jade emits the softest light.This is an out-and-out gem. I raised my head, and a thick layer of sweat broke out on my forehead: "Where did you get this piece of jade?" Seeing me staring at Yubi intently, Song Ci was a little proud, but his tone was deliberately flat: "Someone asked my dad to do something, and gave it to my dad as a gift. It is said that the ancestor of that person was a tomb robber. Once he stole an ancient tomb. I found hundreds of pieces of good jade in the tomb, and then I developed a business. I opened a shop in Liulichang, and it was brilliant for several generations, but then I became poor again for some reason, so I almost didn’t go to rob the tomb again... I think this piece of jade is so cute. I just asked for it from my dad, I don’t know what year it is, Miss Tang, you are an expert, let’s estimate the price.” When I played with Long Bi, I felt infinite bitterness welling up from the bottom of my heart, and the familiar feeling of intimacy surfaced again.I swear, I have seen this jade bi before, and there have been many stories around it, but I accidentally forgot.I seem to have forgotten a lot of things that shouldn't be forgotten, what is it? Song Ci gently urged: "Miss Tang..." I calmed down and explained slowly: "This is an unearthed ancient jade. It is difficult to judge the real age at once. If you look at the carving technology alone, it looks like an ancient relic of the Han Dynasty. Usually unearthed ancient jade will have color, which is difficult to remove. Sometimes the shell is peeled off with great effort, and the jade will be destroyed. The only way is to raise it by popularity. It is to wear the jade close to the body, and rub it slowly with your hands when you have time. After a year or five years, the rusticity on the surface may be removed, and the color of bacon jelly will appear. After 30 to 50 years, the color ooze will be completely eliminated. But after the color ooze is removed, the precious light can be regenerated. In the past hundred years, the skill is not enough. Moreover, it is even rarer to restore the luster and texture so well without damaging the jade. Since the tomb robber was able to find hundreds of pieces of jade in a tomb, it shows that the owner of the tomb is either a king or a prime minister. Because the ancient royal family had a tradition of burying jade with jade. King Zhou of Shang Dynasty failed in the decisive battle with King Wu of Zhou in Muye. He wrapped 5,000 pieces of jade around his body and set himself on fire on the deer platform. He died with the jade. Therefore, it can be judged that the jade The original owner should be an ancient nobleman. And the price of this piece of jade is at least hundreds of thousands..." "Oh, then I've made a fortune?" Song Ci laughed. Yuan Ge was somewhat jealous and impatient: "Let's continue talking about the venue..." "There's no need to talk about it." I handed back the jade bi, and I had already made a decision at this moment, "It won't be too late to talk about the details after signing the contract tomorrow, let's sign the contract first."
