Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 124 My sister's way of showing love is indeed different

Since his one-month leave was over, Cheng Xi didn't want to make it difficult for Cao Jinnan to approve more leave for him.

And I can't completely stop learning. There are still many areas that need improvement.

So Cheng Xi has been attending classes while doing his work these days.

I first spent a day of class to roughly come up with the ending song "My Only".

Cheng Xi hummed it himself, and it should be not much different from the original version.

“You are my only”

"The only one who heals me"

When Cheng Xi sang softly, the first thing that came to mind was Reba playing Li Shiqing.
I couldn't help but smile.

I wonder if she, like me, has adapted to returning to campus life these days.

"Director Cheng, what are you singing? After being a director, you want to be a singer now."

When the classmates heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Now everyone has started calling Cheng Xi Director Cheng, and Cheng Xi has quietly gotten used to it. Unexpectedly, Teacher Weng has also joined in the fun.

Most of the classmates haven't seen Cheng Xi for more than a month, and even his roommate hasn't seen him for half a month.

So everyone is very curious about how the filming of Cheng Xi's TV series "The Beginning" is going.

Cheng Xi looked at Teacher Weng on the stage who was looking at him with a teasing expression, and smiled helplessly.

Then he made a surrender gesture to her, asking for mercy.

"Don't leave after class. The teacher wants to see you."

Teacher Weng saw Cheng Xi's expression, smiled and said this and then started teaching again:

"Classmates, we just talked about the way theater chains split box office revenue. It's this unique system that sometimes puts them in opposition to the films being released. We've experienced theater chain reform."

At this time, Cheng Xi also put away the music score and slowly followed Teacher Weng's ideas to listen to the class.

At this time, the dormitory head Liu Jingbang touched Cheng Xi's arm and said:
"Hey, I say, you really won the prize. We have attended so many classes, and Miss Weng has never left us alone."

"Go to hell, our pure teacher-student relationship, don't think of it as dirty."

The three people from the other dormitories also heard the conversation and started laughing in a rather obscene manner.

Maybe it is difficult for them to hook up with the beautiful teacher, but if Cheng Xi comes, they think they still have a chance.

After all, he has become Director Cheng, and the teacher seems to have a good impression of Cheng Xi.

They even vaguely wanted to see Cheng Xi take down Teacher Weng. That scene would definitely be as beautiful as a painting.

We brothers are proud to be roommates.

After class, Cheng Xi picked up his books and followed Teacher Weng to her office obediently.

As soon as Cheng Xi entered, he smelled a faint scent of books.

As expected, female university teachers are different from other girls and are full of intellectuality.

Teacher Weng's dress is considered a bit avant-garde among teachers, but it still exudes a gentle and scholarly air.

"Cheng Xi, last time the teacher wanted to do a research on marketing, but there are so many papers on traditional film and television dramas that it's hard to start."

"Nowadays, short plays are becoming increasingly popular thanks to the internet, so I'd like to combine the two and conduct a study on short play marketing. You're a practical person in this area, so I've kept you here mainly to ask for your advice."

When Cheng Xi heard Teacher Weng ask for advice, he immediately begged for mercy:
"Teacher, please don't bother me. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

"The first step is to achieve success. I'd like to hear about the details of the marketing for 'Wan Wan'. How did you manage to tap into the emotions of young college students? And when you promoted 'Diao Si Nan Ren', you changed your approach. What were your considerations?"

It was obvious that Teacher Weng came well prepared. Perhaps she had really done a lot of research.

Cheng Xi thought for a moment and replied:
"The structure of Wan Wan is more appealing to young people. The older generation is not used to this approach, so we simply gave up on this group and focused on emotional marketing for the younger generation."

"As for 'Diaosi Men', the platform, scale and funding are all different. I also have a certain fan base and the public knows me better, so I chose a more direct and effective approach. If I use too much emotional marketing, the effect will be poor."

Teacher Weng originally wanted to find Cheng Xi with a try-it-out attitude.

I didn't expect that my student had such good insights, and many of his ideas were very practical and forward-looking.

Is this a film and television marketing genius?

The more Professor Weng listened, the more surprised she was. Many of Cheng Xi's arguments were very similar to the academic community's predictions about the future. She even wanted to invite Cheng Xi to co-author this research project with her.

The two chatted for an hour or so, and Cheng Xi also promised to compile the relevant information and send it to the teacher's email.

Finally, the two ended the conversation in a pleasant atmosphere.

In the past few days, Cheng Xi asked Jin Xiaoluo to organize the marketing materials and send them to Teacher Weng.

The theme song and background music have also been finalized.

Two film and television post-production companies also sent samples and quotations.

But the price is much higher than Cheng Xi expected.

First of all, the samples made by Tiangongyicai are very good and can basically meet Cheng Xi's requirements.

But the quote was 10 per episode, a total of 150 million. The package price for the entire series gave us a 8% discount, which means an overall quote of 120 million.

"Boss, we spent 1 yuan on the soundtrack for one episode, and 5 yuan on the theme song, so the total is 20 yuan."

"Then, boss, you asked us to keep another 100 million in the account as funds for the show's promotion and marketing."

"After deducting various expenses and this one million yuan, we only have 100 yuan left in the account of our "Beginning" crew. If we want Tiangong Yicai to do the post-production, the difference will be 30 yuan."

Li Wentao held the list in his hand and reported to Cheng Xi.

"Although another post-production company quoted a cheaper price of 80, the effect was not as good, and there was also a difference of 50."

Cheng Xi was in a dilemma as he listened to Li Wentao's report.

There are two ways. One is for Mr. Zeng and I to inject another part of the capital, but if we need funds again at that time, it will be too troublesome to inject capital again.

Besides, Mr. Zeng has already made great efforts in coordinating the drama, and Cheng Xi doesn't want to trouble Mr. Zeng anymore.

The second option is to recognize this part of the funds yourself, keep the investment ratio unchanged, and invest another 70 yuan yourself.

Cheng Xi felt that both methods were not very appropriate, so he said:
"Let's put it this way. Results are the most important thing. Let's discuss cooperation with Tiangong Yicai. You can finalize this tomorrow."

"Secondly, we should immediately activate the reserve fund and add 70 yuan. This will leave 30 yuan for reserve and publicity. We'll see how it's used later and then decide."

Cheng Xi rubbed his head and tried to delay first.

I have to make many decisions in the studio every day, which is indeed much more tiring than being a senior employee in a live broadcast company in my previous life.

At night, Cheng Xi was thinking about tomorrow being the weekend and preparing to ask Reba out to relax.

Cheng Xi received a call from Zhang Tianai, asking him to find her at the barbecue restaurant in front of the college.

When Cheng Xi arrived, she was already half drunk, and Jin Xiaoluo was standing beside her awkwardly.

"Let me take care of this, you go back first."

When Jin Xiaoluo heard Cheng Xi say this, she looked at her boss and then at her best friend.

Combined with what Zhang Tianai said to her today, she also roughly understood that there seemed to be something going on between her boss and her best friend.

I wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Cheng Xi's gloomy expression, I was shocked.

He just held back what he wanted to say and went back alone.

Cheng Xi had no choice but to carry the half-drunk Zhang Tianai to a nearby hotel.

If Zhang Tianai hadn't been a little sober, the hotel would probably have suspected that she had picked up a drunk cat and would have called the police.

Cheng Xi saw her and Jin Xiaoluo together, and of course he knew why she drank so much.

Plus she kept mumbling:

"The boss is partial to me and doesn't like me"

Cheng Xi must have felt a little annoyed and distressed after hearing this. After all, this was his woman, and she got drunk for him.

But come to think of it, she had a pretty fast start.

She was given a song called "Fortune Telling" when she signed the contract. She was also one of the main dancers in the following dance, but she messed up because of training.

From then on, I had basically no resources and no other works.

Now that her promotional resources have been cut off, she used to gain hundreds or even thousands of followers on Weibo every day, so at least she could see that she was making progress.

Suddenly, her fan base increased rapidly, the heroine was Reba, and the theme song was also going to be sung by someone else.

How can I feel balanced in my heart? It can even be said that my faith in Taoism is broken.

"Boss, do you only consider me as your lucky partner?"
"Boss, do you dislike me anymore? I'll cosplay Mai Shiranui for you tomorrow, okay?"

Tianai still seemed to be somewhat sober and knew that the person taking care of her was Cheng Xi.

Hearing Tianai say this, Cheng Xi was also stunned.

So I went to the bathroom, took a towel, dipped it in water, and wiped her face and forehead.

Then I asked the customer service to bring up some hot milk and slowly fed it to Tianai.

"Tian Ai, it's not that the boss doesn't like you, nor is it that the boss is cruel to you."

"It's about knowing your limits. It's better to suffer a little now than to fall flat on your face later."

I don’t know whether it was the hot milk that took effect or Cheng Xi’s comfort that took effect.

Zhang Tianai gradually stopped tossing and turning and fell asleep under the influence of alcohol.

Looking at Zhang Tianai's silly expression after falling asleep, Cheng Xi couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

Alas, none of them are worry-free, you too, and Jin Chen too.

The next morning, after Tianai sobered up, she watched the boss busying himself at the table next to her.

I don't know whether to be happy or embarrassed.

When Cheng Xi saw Tianai woke up, he put down the work in his hands and had breakfast with her.

In the middle of the conversation, he also said that drinking like this is not allowed in the future, otherwise the boss will not want you anymore.

If you have any problems, you can come and talk to the boss directly, but it also follows the rules, do you understand?

Tianai nodded as if she understood, but after hearing what the boss said, her breakfast seemed to become sweeter.

It turns out that the boss didn't ignore me, he was still very worried about me.

Whenever I have work, they stay by my side because they are afraid that I might get into trouble if I drink.

Then Tian Ai thought of something and said softly:

"Boss, I've designed Mai Shiranui's clothes."

When Cheng Xi heard Tian Ai say this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It seems that all the women around him think he is a pervert. Last time, Jin Chen said dancing under the moonlight, and this time Tian Ai mentioned Mai Shiranui's clothes. Even Jin Xiaoluo thought he was going to do a wall-bang.

Why does it all look like a fight for favor?

It’s just that they have different personalities and use different methods.

Cheng Xi looked at Tian Ai's hopeful eyes and nodded:
"Okay, wait for the boss to notify you and wear it for me to see."

As he spoke, he also helped her brush the hair away from her mouth.

"You're such a grown-up, but you're still acting like a child. Don't drink like that anymore. If you want to drink, call the boss."

So Tianai finally started to smile and ate a lot more breakfast.

At noon that day, because it was the weekend, Cheng Xi came to the studio as usual after playing with Tianai.

After finishing my work for a while, I picked up my phone and saw a lot of messages.

One of them is:
"Da Cheng, are you free this afternoon?"

Cheng Xi looked at the word "Da Cheng" and knew it was a message from Li Xiaoran without even looking at the number.

Regarding such a sudden and abrupt sentence, Cheng Xi might have guessed that she had thought about it for quite a long time before sending it.

So I didn't want to go through the trouble of sending text messages back and forth, so I just called directly.

"What's wrong, Sister Da Ran?"

Li Xiaoran was obviously a little surprised that Cheng Xi would call directly.

"Oh, that's right. My friend and I opened a private club together. I thought you've been very busy lately, so I wanted to ask you to come and relax and give us some suggestions for our new shop."

This excuse is quite unique. Actually, you just want to see me.

Originally, Cheng Xi had other plans for the afternoon, but thinking that there were a lot of troubles recently, he decided to just go with his sister to relax in the afternoon.

After all, my sister can take care of people, so you can just play with her.

After all, this is Da Ran's first invitation. If you refuse her, she will be even more afraid to do it next time.

So he said:

"Well, I originally had something to do this afternoon, but I just happened to want to relax. Can you send me the address?"

"That's fine. I'll have the driver pick you up at the entrance to the academy this afternoon. What time is convenient for you?"

"Well, that's fine too, let's do three o'clock."

The big sister is the best here, she is also responsible for picking us up and dropping us off.

So at two o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Xi walked from the studio to the college gate on time.

As soon as I stood still, a nanny car stopped in front of me.

When the car door opened, it was Li Xiaoran inside waving at him.

Cheng Xi smiled, said hello, and got into the car directly.

I originally thought that only the driver came to pick me up, but I didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to come too.

As soon as Cheng Xi got in the car, Li Xiaoran opened a bottle of water for him, handed it to him and said:
"It's a bit hot, are you thirsty?"

Cheng Xi looked up at her strangely, and Li Xiaoran's face turned red.

After all, it was he who took the initiative to find the man.

She even drove to the gate of his college to pick him up. She had never dared to think about this before.

But I just wanted to meet her very badly, even though I felt that the age gap between us was too big before.

But Cheng Xi's text message completely moved her. No matter what the result was, she wanted to grasp this last feeling of youth.

Sometimes it's like that, the old house catches fire - it's too late to save it.

"Are you busy this afternoon? If not, can you stay with me for a while?"

"Busy, but you are more important."

When Li Xiaoran heard Cheng Xi's answer, she looked much happier and even her voice was a little cheerful.

"Then Lao Liu, let's go to the tailor shop first."

"Ok."

The driver didn't seem to talk much.

In the car, Cheng Xi finished drinking the water and Li Xiaoran took the water back.

This is treating me like a child.

When he arrived at the tailor shop, Cheng Xi realized that Li Xiaoran was going to make a suit for him.

She looks like she is quite familiar with the tailor in this tailor shop.

"Da Cheng, you used to work behind the scenes, but after 'The Beginning' airs, you'll be a director. If there are any important events, you should prepare a few formal suits."

"This tailor is very good. My cheongsam and other things are all custom-made here."

Oh, cheongsam. Cheng Xi looked at Da Ran's figure and sighed that cheongsam was beautiful.

I'll have to see it next time.

After taking the measurements, the tailor said I could pick it up in a week.

Before leaving, Li Xiaoran also gave Cheng Xi two pairs of leather shoes.

Now Cheng Xidu smiled and said:
"Sister Da Ran, you are going to support me."

"Sure, if you don't want to be a director anymore, I can still support you."

Li Xiaoran said as if it was a matter of course.

Okay, this guy really treats me as a gigolo, but to be honest, Cheng Xi finds this sentence quite pleasing to the ear.

No wonder everyone likes rich women, not to mention that this rich woman is also a sexy big sister.

After spending an hour or so in the tailor shop, it was almost time for dinner.

Just when Cheng Xi was thinking about inviting Sister Da Ran to dinner to thank her for the suit and leather shoes she gave him.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran had already made arrangements and asked the driver to take them to a very low-key state banquet Chinese restaurant.

During the meal, Li Xiaoran was smiling as she picked up food and poured wine for Cheng Xisheng, all the while watching him eat.

You can't tell at all that this is a big star.

Everyone says that older sisters are caring, but I didn’t expect it to be so true.

Let Cheng Xi fully experience the feeling of having a beautiful woman.

After eating and drinking, the two came to the new club that Li Xiaoran mentioned they had opened together.

But when Cheng Xi took a look, he found that the decoration and design were obviously a club for women.

The name is also good, it is called:

Take a nap in Yunjian.

Let Cheng Xi come and experience it and give his opinion. Are you sure it will work?
It's just an excuse. The main purpose today is to corrupt Cheng Xi.

After entering the club, there were many young ladies waiting inside.

When they saw Li Xiaoran come in, they all called him boss.

"I brought my brother to experience our Yunjian service and see if there are any shortcomings."

"Let Qingqing and Manman prepare."

After giving the instructions, he was led into a private room by two young ladies.

Although it is called a private room, it is more like a room. There are two tables against the wall, with drinks and fruits placed next to them.

There is a sofa in the middle, two separate bathrooms in the upper right corner are closed by curtains, and there is a storage cabinet in the upper left corner.

The overall design is relatively low-key and elegant.

After a while, two young and beautiful uniformed staff members came in. They seemed to be Qingqing and Manman.

I don’t know if Da Ran did it on purpose, but Qingqing and Manman both have the Great Thunder Holy Body.

The feeling of breaking through the uniform.

I guess I guessed my own preferences.

The two first took out a set of casual clothes and asked Cheng Xi and Li Xiaoran to change into them in the inner room.

When I came out, the lights were dimmed.

There is a bit of an ambiguous atmosphere.

This made Cheng Xi a little surprised and wondered whether the store opened by Li Xiaoran was legitimate.

If it’s not formal, then I’ll have to apply for a card.

Then Cheng Xi finally relaxed and enjoyed himself.

Fingers, toes, scalp, every bone acupuncture point.

Even the buttocks were corroded and lifted up.

Unlike the foot massage parlors that Cheng Xi had experienced in his previous life, the prettier the girls were, the worse their business skills were, and only male technicians could provide the necessary support.

But the man is too embarrassed to look at it.

So, a dilemma!

And it seems that Qingqing is well-trained and should be the ace player here.

Every inch of the massage was done precisely, allowing Cheng Xi to relax after a long time.

Especially when Manman massaged my scalp, I put my head on her softness and smelled the faint fragrance in the room. It really gave me a unique feeling of "taking a nap in the room".

"Sister Da Ran, your place is nice, I like it."

"Well, as long as Dacheng likes it."

When Li Xiaoran heard Cheng Xi say this, she responded happily.

There is just one problem, there is one place on the body that has not been massaged.

Isn't this losing the soul?
I wonder if Da Ran and Cheng Xi have a telepathic connection.

Three quarters of an hour later, Qingqing and Manman were called out by Da Ran.

Then she locked the door and came to Cheng Xi.

Her eyes were full of water, and she bit her sexy big lips and said:
"Da Cheng, it's safe here."
