Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 235: Jie Lun taught me how to make music, and I taught Jie Lun how to make movies

What Cheng Xi didn't expect was that it wasn't just Reba whose popularity skyrocketed.

And himself.

The number of Weibo followers increased by 100 million in just two days.

Mr. Zuibai's policewoman flashes Q and looks back gracefully, while Juhuaxin violently stabs and grabs people.

Plus the scene of him hugging Reba in perfect harmony when they won the final game.

They were all made into a short video and have become a hot topic on Weibo.

The discussion was also very intense, of course, all about his scandal with Reba.

[Do you think Reba has something going on with Zuibai? ]

[I think it's pretty much the same as the official announcement. Haven't you noticed? Reba has been with Teacher Zuibai since she was a member of Wanwan.]

[Alas, but they are in the entertainment industry, so I guess they won’t make an official announcement!]

[Although I am a fan of Reba, I am satisfied with Zuibai as my brother-in-law! ]

Cheng Xi did not ask the company to reduce the popularity of this matter.

Just let events unfold naturally.

Her popularity among the public is not bad either, so it won’t affect Reba’s popularity.

What's more, Chinese people have always liked the character of talented men and beautiful women.

And Reba’s number of followers on Weibo officially exceeded 1000 million that night.

Even approaching 1100 million.

Zuibai Entertainment had collaborated with Weibo to host the "Young Director Support Competition", so they specifically asked about the number of new fans that had been added in the past few days.

More than 70% of fans are male.

This made Cheng Xi feel that his plan to become a top-tier celebrity was feasible.

Not only that, League of Legends has also become popular due to its second anniversary celebration.

Plus Reba’s endorsement.

There is also the League of Legends theme song "The Lone Brave" co-produced by Zuibai and Eason Chan.

A competition between stars and fans including Zuibai, Reba and Chen He.

They all rushed to the hot searches on major portals and Weibo.

Now even people who don’t play League of Legends know about this game.

The number of registrations skyrocketed.

This made Mr. Huang very happy.

The spokesperson was chosen correctly this time.

The new season has begun, and now gamers are greeted by Dilireba’s photos as soon as they open the game.

And it comes with her cute voice:

"Hello Summoner, I am Reba."

"Welcome to the League of Legends, let us compete for the top spot fearlessly together."

There are also activities such as signing in and completing tasks where Reba will give out runes, heroes, and skins.

This series of operations is mutually beneficial to both parties.

Reba used the influence of the game to capture many male fans, and male players became more loyal as a result.

The game used the influence of Reba and Zuibaixi to register many new female players.

The two also promote each other, and League of Legends can be said to have officially started the violent expansion mode.

The number of online players has also hit new highs recently.

What Cheng Xi knew was that League of Legends was even more wealthy and powerful, helping these game entries become trending searches.

First, celebrities playing games does attract a lot of attention, especially Reba.

Secondly, Zuibai Entertainment also added fuel to the fire and took the opportunity to promote its new movie "Charlotte's Troubles".

The third one is of course the Penguin Series’ determination to promote League of Legends.

It can be seen that a lot of resources have been spent on recommending it.

And it uses the powerful tool of Penguin pop-up to directly push relevant news.

This has overshadowed the popularity of Taobao's "Double 11" battle report.

Everyone knows about this game.

I also know that this exotic beauty who endorses LOL is called Reba

Even the "Best Director" Zuibai teacher likes to play.

This time, many invisible effects appeared that no one expected.

Many celebrities also became curious and started playing.

Among them are Jay Chou, JJ Lin and others.

Celebrities from the Zuibai series also started playing and learned what kind of game it was.

After all, Zuibai is not just a player, he is also a director and the boss of a company.

A lot of film and television resources.

If I could play a few games with him, even if I don’t have the chance to play together, it would be fine.

Talking about games when you meet can also increase your familiarity.

What the superior likes, the subordinates will follow.

Mr. Huang never expected this kind of effect, he thought it might have a driving effect.

But I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.

Seeing the increasing number of female players and celebrity players, Mr. Huang was already smiling from ear to ear.

He called Cheng Xi several times in a row and asked for more cooperation in the future.

Of course, Cheng Xi is willing to have a good relationship with future Penguin executives.

Xiao Qi from the marketing department, who proposed making Zuibai the spokesperson, also received internal praise and was even promoted to deputy manager.

I just wonder if he will still slack off and read novels after becoming a small leader.

As soon as the anniversary celebration is finished.

Cheng Xi and Reba immediately returned to Yanjing to continue the second phase of filming.

It mainly consists of some indoor scenes and scenes after becoming famous.

Of course, there is also the group scene at the beginning where they make a scene at the wedding.

Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Shen Teng and others saw the boss bringing Reba back.

All are warmly welcomed.

And he also gave me some flattery.

Shen Teng: "Boss, you're really good at playing games. When will you teach me?"

Yan Fei: "Boss, congratulations to you and Reba on reaching a new level of fame."

Others also greeted him warmly.

The more famous Zuibai becomes and the more famous Reba becomes, the more likely this drama is to become a hit.

This is a truth that everyone understands.

Now, everyone prospers together and suffers together.

They wish Cheng Xi and Reba would become extremely popular.

After Cheng Xi and everyone finished congratulating him, he also asked about the business:
"Let me check the shooting schedule. Where is our latest scene?"

"We've already filmed the scenes outside the school for three days, which is a bit faster than the planned two and a half months. We should be finished in two months, by early December!"

"Well, that's good. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Well, tonight, I'll personally pay for everyone to have a good meal!"

For a moment, everyone shouted, "The boss is mighty" and "The boss is handsome."

Filming is proceeding as usual these days.

It’s better to let Yan Fei and Peng Dama play some minor roles.

Cheng Xi filmed Reba, Shen Teng and Ma Li, as well as some large group scenes.

That day, Cheng Xi received a call from Li Wentao.

"Boss, Zhou Jielun replied, saying he wants to swap guest appearances with you."

"Swap? What do you mean?"

"Zhou Jielun is currently filming 'Rooftop Love' and he said he wants you to play a cool guest role."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he understood that they were planning to promote each other.

Just like when the Hong Kong film industry was in a slump, Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan made guest appearances in each other's films.

They have all become very classic supporting roles.

Later, Feng Kuazi also made a cameo appearance in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle".

When Feng Kuazi invited Stephen Chow to make a cameo appearance, Chow thought that their status was not equal and did not agree.

It directly caused Feng Kuazi to stop working with Stephen Chow.

But I don't have any concerns about this.

Of course, his status in the film industry is much higher than Zhou Jie Lun's.

But his musical achievements are beyond my reach.

Besides, I was also half a fan of Jie Lun in my previous life.

Cheng Xi hesitated for only a few seconds before agreeing to this good thing of mutual publicity over the phone.

"Okay, give me the script first and let me take a look."

If this didn't involve sensitive issues, Cheng Xi would basically agree.

After the two sides confirmed that they would swap guest appearances, their schedules coincided with each other. Finally, Cheng Xi was scheduled to make a guest appearance in Jiangcheng, the filming location of "The Rooftop."

Then Jie Lun came to the crew of "Charlotte" again.

Thinking that it was Jiangcheng, Cheng Xi took Nazha with him.

She was still thinking about the breakfast over there.

It can also be regarded as taking Nazha to reminisce.

I haven't seen her for a while, so of course I can't be too partial to Reba.

"Brother, I also want to go to Jiangcheng. I want to go to Li's chicken-comb dumplings, Xu's glutinous rice wrapped in fried dough sticks, Yan's steamed buns, and hot dry noodles."

Reba swallowed her saliva while announcing the names of the dishes.

No prospects!
You're a big star now.

"No, you have to focus on filming. This movie is very important to you. If you do well, it will help you get promoted and open up your film career in the future."

"I'm going to make a guest appearance and will be back in a few days at most."

As a director, Cheng Xi can certainly take Reba with him.

A matter of words.

But, hey hey.
I've been feeling suffocated after being with Reba for so long.

While attending the celebration, Cheng Xi wanted to win Reba again.

But Reba still disagreed with the last step.

"Brother, no, please bear with it for a while."

Because of this, Cheng Xi was almost losing his patience.

Then why not call the little cutie Nazha to come and keep her company?

Cheng Xi thought that it was not only because of desire, but also because he missed Zhan Wuzha.

Nazha was of course very happy to know that she could go back to Jiangcheng to play with her senior brother again.

The days of guest starring in "The Rooftop Love" passed quickly, but Cheng Xi had established a preliminary friendship with Zhou Jielun.

I also met the leading actress Li Xinai, producer Liu Genghong, as well as Zeng Aizi, Huang Junlang and others.

Cheng Xi had no feelings for Zeng, but he didn't show it due to social obligations and work.

After all, this is Jieren's home ground, and I am just a guest here.

Huang Junlang is of course very fond of him, and the lyrics of "In the Name of the Father" are simply a masterpiece.

As for Li Xinai, Cheng Xi had no impression of her and guessed that she became less popular later on.

"The Rooftop" can be said to be a musical, but also a nostalgic story.

Just this point alone makes Zhou Jielun very bold.

The main filming location was Jiangcheng. I wonder if it was inspired by the down-to-earth style of "Life Events".

This is also Cheng Xi’s first time working with the Baodao team.

Especially the Taiwanese girl’s Taiwan accent is really addictive.

Cheng Xi was thinking about bringing some Taiwanese girls to play with someday.

This time, Cheng Xi not only made a guest appearance, but also participated in the creation of the theme song of "The Rooftop".

After Zhou Jielun returned from the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, he specifically asked his team to collect some information about Cheng Xi.

I found that this young director is almost omnipotent.

Especially the theme songs of movies and TV shows along the way, almost all of them were composed by myself.

He also listened to the recent hit song "The Lone Hero" which has been all over the internet.

Very exciting.

I have watched the movie "Life Events" carefully many times.

Since he was also filming in Jiangcheng, he was of course more interested.

So during the filming, while asking Cheng Xi about the movie, I also discussed the theme song with Cheng Xi.

He also showed Cheng Xi the initial idea and score of the song.

Cheng Xi had originally forgotten about the movie "The Rooftop Love".

I just remember the bright colors inside, and a neo-retro feel.

To be honest, the use of colors is even a bit similar to the later "Fang Hua", but of course not as good.

It has that feeling of feasting and revelry, and at the same time carries a sense of nostalgia.

To a certain extent, it restores the urban culture of Taiwan.

It can be seen that Jie Lun also put a lot of thought into making this movie.

After seeing the music score, Cheng Xi immediately realized that this was the song "You Are Everywhere".

So the two of them collaborated.

"Oh~ Go ahead

Follow the right hand melody
Forget the grievances of my left hand

You can continue even without accompaniment
Go forward and find new memories and air
Clear up, wait for the rain to give up
In the rain of tears

哪里都是你

If I wipe it dry, I won’t be able to see you anymore.”

The two of them sang and revised the song, and finally finished it after spending an entire night doing it.

When both of them had bloodshot eyes but were looking at each other excitedly.

Zhou Jielun said:
"Director Cheng, you should make music."

"Brother Jielun, you should make a movie."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

This is a kind of flattery between the two.

"Let's go. It's too early. I miss this place in Jiangcheng so much. I'll call Nazha to come with us."

"Okay, then I'll call Xin Ai to come along too!"

"Then hurry up, while it's still dark."

The two of them looked at each other knowingly again.

Early in the morning, Cheng Xi skillfully led the three of them to their old place, Shanhaiguan Road.

As soon as Nazha arrived here, she ran happily.

Go straight to my favorite Li Ji Chicken Dumplings.

Although it was still dark at this time, everyone still wore a hat.

A little bit of disguise.

Otherwise, if I get recognized, I won’t be able to eat this breakfast.

"Boss, four servings of chicken comb dumplings with beef filling, please."

In the end, the four of them stopped and bought things along the way and returned home with a lot of stuff.

So we sat at the small table outside and started eating.

"Wow, Director Cheng, this is a great place you found. Everything is delicious."

"You've been here for so long, and you've never come here too early?"

"I shoot night scenes every day and wake up very late. How could I dare to come here when there are so many people?"

Yes, "The Rooftop" is basically night scenes.

If you come during the day, the whole street will be blocked due to Zhou Jie Lun's fame.

"I want to play League of Legends too. I see you and Reba having so much fun."

"No problem, I'll take you after the movie is finished."

Nazha: "Brother, I want to play too. I recently registered an account."

"No problem, I'll fight you and Reba by myself then."

When Jie Lun heard this, he almost choked on the steamed buns in his mouth.

"You're thinking wrongly, this is a normal PK!"

It would have been better if Cheng Xi hadn't said this.

As soon as they heard this, Jie Lun and Li Xinai laughed even more.

Nazha blushed and buried her head in eating the chicken comb dumplings.

Senior brother must want to PK both of us.

Thinking of that scene, Nazha's face turned even redder.

At this time, Jie Lun glanced at Cheng Xi, then at Nazha who was hiding her head shyly, and suddenly said:
"Hey, Director Cheng, I think Nazha is pretty good. Can she make a cameo appearance in my movie?"

Cheng Xi naturally knew that this was a face-giving act for him.

There are many actors who want to make a cameo appearance in Jielun’s movies.

Because the three words "Zhou Jie Lun" represent traffic and exposure.

Cheng Xi thought that Nazha didn’t seem to have much exposure recently.

I was originally planning to find her a likable guest role in "Charlotte's Troubles".

Now there was an extra surprise, so of course I agreed.

"No problem, I won't charge you for the song's arrangement!"

"You're such a weird person, you want to charge me for it. I'm teaching you how to compose music."

"I'll even teach you how to make a movie."

When Nazha and Li Xinai saw the two of them, they started to complain like old friends.

They all had auntie smiles on their faces.
