"ah?"
Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu's face with tears and smile mixed together, and he was completely stunned.
"Honey, you mean you're pregnant?"
Yu Dong asked a very stupid question.
This stupid question made Cheng Yanqiu laugh out loud, "Comrade Yu Dong, you look very nervous."
Yu Dong scratched his head and said, "Wasn't I frightened by your appearance just now? I thought something bad had happened."
Cheng Yanqiu pouted and said, "Then it's my first time too."
Yu Dong hugged Cheng Yanqiu and said with a smile, "I used to think that giving birth to a child was a very big deal, and I wanted to make enough preparations and detailed plans, but now I suddenly found that I just let nature take its course, and suddenly a surprise came to me.
, which is also pretty good.”
"Well, I feel like the more I make plans, the more worried I become. But now that I'm sure I'm pregnant, I feel a lot more relaxed." Cheng Yanqiu snuggled into Yu Dong's arms and asked, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
"Is it okay if I want twins?"
Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes, "Did you think you were going to the mall to buy something? You still have something to choose from."
Yu Dong said innocently, "You asked me if I wanted a boy or a girl."
"That can't be too exaggerated."
"Then let's have a boy first and then a girl. The older brother can protect the younger sister in the future."
"If you give birth to two children, does that mean you have too many children?"
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "No, Jiangsu Province's family planning policy is that as long as both couples are only children, they can have two."
"How do you know so well?"
"Lao Feng said it before, and I remembered it. He and Teacher Wu seemed to have the idea of ​​having a second child, but the conditions were not met."
They were all born in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, there was no family planning. It was when the fertility rate was at its highest. It was very rare for a family to have just one child. Therefore, couples like Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu happened to have both.
Being an only child is quite difficult.
"Whether it is a boy or a girl, I hope that the children will learn music from an early age. Boys will learn piano, and girls will learn violin. Of course, they can choose their own minor... Occasionally, you can also teach him to write. We have so many books at home, so we must let them
They read more books...Well, if they are boys, they can also play football. No matter what they do, having a good body is the foundation..."
Hearing that Cheng Yanqiu had already started planning his children's future education, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was too far-reaching.
Also, it's too curly.
Yu Dong is not a supporter of happy education, but he doesn't worry much about his children's future education.
Teaching by words and deeds, the latter is more important. From now on, their children will see their mother playing the piano and their father writing at his desk every day at home. They will be influenced by what they hear and see, and their interest will be developed.
Yu Dong touched his wife's belly and said with a smile: "I think you should talk less about this in the future. I'm afraid the little guy inside will be scared if he hears it and won't dare to come out."
"Then I will play the piano every day and get prenatal education early."
"I can play it too."
"Forget it then. If you play it, the little guy really won't want to come out."
…
Cheng Yanqiu's pregnancy was told to her parents the next day, and four old people rushed over. Chen Yuqing and Qin Fang gathered around Cheng Yanqiu to greet her, while Cheng Liye and Yu Hansheng pulled Yu Dong to encourage her.
As the father-in-law, Cheng Liye couldn't say much, so Yu Hansheng said earnestly: "In the next period of time, you can put aside all the company matters and spend more time with Yanqiu. Don't worry about food and drink, your mother will take care of it."
It’s been arranged. Your main purpose is to keep her in a happy mood. The weather will get better soon. If you have nothing to do, take her for an outing, relax, and don’t go too far. It will be tiring if you go far.”
"Ahem, in-laws, Luoluo is not that delicate. Besides, with us as elders here, he doesn't need to be so tired."
"This kid doesn't know how to take care of others. We can't be with them 24 hours a day. He should be more careful himself."
Yu Dong could only nod his head repeatedly, "Yes, yes, dad, you are right."
…
Yu Dong could feel that the atmosphere became very different after both parents learned about the pregnancy.
Children are the bond between husband and wife and the bond between two families. This statement makes sense.
Now that the child has just been conceived, the two families have already started discussing what name they should give the child. Everyone has mentioned many names, but neither of them think they are good.
Just to choose a two-character name or a one-character name, we have to discuss it for a long time.
Yu Dong himself has a single name, but according to the genealogy, he should be from the generation of Ke, so his full name should be Yu Kedong. However, Han Sheng thought that the generation of Ke did not sound good, so he removed the word Ke.
.
The next generation of Yu Dong should be named Rang. If there is a two-character name, Rang should be added to it.
Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were sitting side by side on the sofa, listening to their parents discussing the name of their child. They seemed like two people who had nothing to do with each other.
…
The days passed slowly, and Yu Dong's life began to have a schedule. What time he got up, what time he cooked, what time he took his wife for a walk, and what time he went to work were all clearly arranged.
They have enough time to worry about the company's affairs, and there are relatively few school courses. In addition to spending time with his wife, Yu Dong also takes two hours every day to write "The Snowman".
Until April 10th, when Yu Dong was pressing juice for Cheng Yanqiu, the phone at home rang, and Cheng Yanqiu happened to be sitting next to him and answered it.
After talking to the other end of the phone for a few words, Cheng Yanqiu said happily: "Husband, husband, there is good news."
Yu Dong came over with juice in his hand, "What good news makes you so happy?"
"I just called you to say that the Baodao Golden Melody Awards has announced the shortlist. The album "Jay Chou" has been shortlisted for five awards in total: Best Album, Best Composer, Best Producer, Best Lyricist, and Best Newcomer.
."
"Oh, really? That's great."
Yu Dong is not surprised that "Jay Chou" can be shortlisted for so many awards. Let's not talk about the award-winning record of the "Jay Chou" album in the previous life. Just talk about the response after it was released in this life. It looks like it is going to win the award.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not only ordinary listeners like this album, many musicians are also shocked by its unconstrained power, although some musicians are still disappointed with this album.
There are criticisms, but most musicians in the industry fully approve of this album.
Listen to what Cheng Yanqiu just said, "Jay Chou" has basically shortlisted all the nominees. This year's Baodao Golden Melody Awards has a total of eleven awards. In addition to the five shortlisted for "Jay Chou", there is also the Best Mandarin Award.
Six awards including Male Singer, Best Mandarin Female Singer, Best Dialect Male Singer, Best Dialect Female Singer, Best Duo Group and Special.
Except for the Best Mandarin Male Singer, the other five are impossible for "Jay Chou" to be nominated.
"How many awards do you think "Jay Chou" can win this time?" Cheng Yanqiu asked with a smile.
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "I can't tell, no one can be sure about awards except the judges."
Cheng Yanqiu began to analyze: "Although I haven't said the margin, I guess this year's Best Album Award nominees are likely to include the albums of Wu Bai, Shunzi and Xin Xiaoqi, and another one, probably "Conquer", and
It might be Wang Lihong's, or Lin Xiaopei's. If I were a judge, I should still give the best album award to "Jay Chou", the best composition award to "The Clock in the Opposite Direction," and the best..."
She analyzed it all over and finally concluded that "Jay Chou" could win five awards, but only if she served as a judge.
From a rational point of view, "Jay Chou" will definitely not be able to win five awards, and it will only be able to win two at most.
The best result is that "Jay Chou" won Best Record and Best Producer. Among the five shortlisted items, these two are the most important.
Taking the next best thing, "Jay Chou" won the best album and best arrangement.
Anyway, as long as it gets the best record, it's good.
If we take a step back, I'm afraid there will only be one Best Newcomer Award.
The Best Newcomer Award is certainly not bad, but it is much inferior to the Best Album Award. Especially when Jay Chou won the Best Album Award just after his debut, it is of extraordinary significance.
"Yu Liang said that they have sent us an invitation letter. Will we go then?"
"When is the award ceremony?" Yu Dong asked.
"April 30th."
April 30th... Yu Dong counted the time. Cheng Yanqiu should have already shown her pregnancy during that time, and it would not be particularly convenient to go to Treasure Island by then.
However, seeing how interested Cheng Yanqiu was, Yu Dong still nodded: "Okay, if there is nothing else important, we will go and have a look at that time. If we go there this time, we will not be in a hurry to come back. We are on the treasure island."
Stay for a while and let you relax."
The climate and scenery in Baodao in April are quite good, so Yu Dong thought that since it was so difficult to go there, he should stay for a few more days, otherwise going back and forth in a short period of time would have a greater impact on Cheng Yanqiu's health.
After talking about the Golden Melody Awards, Cheng Yanqiu talked about the sales of "Jay Chou" again. She smiled and said: "I heard that "Jay Chou" is selling very well in Europe and the United States?"
"Well, it's really not bad."
What Yu Dongkou said was pretty good, referring to the fact that the cumulative sales of "Jay Chou" in Europe and the United States have reached more than 900,000.
The global sales volume of "Jay Chou" has exceeded 3 million. In mainland China and Taiwan, the sales volume has exceeded 1.6 million. The remaining hundreds of thousands are sales in other countries combined.
The reason why this album quickly achieved so many sales in the United States has little to do with the music itself. After all, this is a Mandarin album, which most Europeans and Americans are not used to listening to, and there are many clever designs in the song.
I can’t understand it because I don’t understand Chinese.
However, Deep Space Company spared no effort in promoting this album.
In the music album section of Amazon.com, the album "Jay Chou" has been listed there for more than thirty days.
Anyone who clicks on Amazon's music section cannot ignore the album "Jay Chou".
In addition, the background music used in the "Resident Evil" theme level of "Lianliankan" is "Indian Old Turtle Dove" from the "Jay Chou" album.
Many gamers are brainwashed by this song every day and fall in love with it unknowingly.
Moreover, because of the duet between Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu, the song "Rooftop" also has many fans in the United States, and they are willing to buy the entire album for this song.
This is not so much a success of music as it is a success of marketing.
Or in Jimmy's words, this is not marketing, but they are cultivating music aesthetics for listeners.
Through a series of publicity, Shen Kong is telling listeners what kind of music sounds good.
Of course, if you want to do this, in addition to having strong marketing capabilities, the music itself must also have enough popular elements to make the audience willing to listen, otherwise it will be all in vain.
The marketing strategy formulated by Deep Space for "Jay Chou" is to first conquer Europe and the United States, and then follow the trend to conquer countries such as Neon and Korea.
In fact, the route of deep space star creation has not changed over the years.
As the earliest star of Deep Space, Yu Dong first became famous in China, and then was promoted to Europe and the United States and became famous all over the world.
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said: "Isn't he preparing for a concert? He can also go to the United States to hold a few concerts later."
"No problem, I'll ask Yiliang and the others to help him arrange it later."
"It would be good to hold more concerts, but I just don't know if this kid can handle it. He talks too little."
"No matter what, there has to be a first time. It's not a bad thing to perform more on stage. He performed pretty well at the last annual meeting. I think after this kid became famous, he talked a little more than before.
I’m not as shy as before.”
Cheng Yanqiu nodded: "That's true."
…
At the AOL headquarters, company founder Steven Case looked at a piece of information in his hand and showed a puzzled expression, "Deep Space Company is cashing out?"
The assistant nodded and said: "Deep Space Company has indeed been cashing out Amazon's stocks recently, but they don't seem to be in a hurry, they are just doing it slowly."
"Amazon is going to split its stock soon."
"Yes, there will be another stock split in July this year."
"Since the stock split was in July, why didn't they wait until after July to cash out? Amazon's stock split this time will definitely be like the previous two times, and the stock will rise sharply."
Regarding Steven Case's question, the assistant said nothing because he also couldn't figure out the purpose of this step in deep space.
"Johnny, do you think Deep Space is preparing to raise some money to challenge us head-on?"
The assistant nodded, "It's possible, but the question is, where are they going to invest their money? Is it their instant messaging software or Google?"
Deep Space has just raised 28 million US dollars for Google, and everyone in the industry knows that after hearing the news, AOL had an emergency response and quickly strengthened the maintenance of their company's search business.
Steven Case frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of an answer.
But no matter what the answer is, his attention will still be on Google, because he believes that Google poses a greater threat to him.
In fact, he hopes that Deep Space Company can invest all its money in that instant messaging software, because he does not think that Deep Space's instant messaging software has the ability to compete with icq.
icq not only has more and better functions, but also entered the homes of American netizens earlier than Dongdong. Its status is not easy to shake.
But Google is different. Steven Case believes that Google is a company with great potential. If they continue to develop like this, it will be difficult for AOL to do search business.
