Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 43: Brilliant Avenue, Domination Route

Xu Xiaoou angrily said, "That bitch Ding Wei! They said they're having trouble recording the song 'I Want This Kind of Happiness' and they're asking for a price increase of 300,000 yuan."

Teng Huatao lit a cigarette and said, "The review speed has been greatly improved, and the shooting cycle has been greatly shortened. It would definitely be too late to change the singer and create a new song now."

Screenwriter Qiqi said, "I've heard the demo of that song. It fits our TV show's theme perfectly. Should we discuss it further?"

Producer Xu Xiaoou angrily said, "First, she didn't answer the phone for two consecutive days, and then she contacted her assistant last night. Damn, an assistant dared to hang up on me!"

"I just called today, and the price of this ungrateful bastard has increased sixfold."

"There must be a mole inside who told the other party that our filming schedule is significantly advanced."

Executive Director Cao Dun took the initiative to interject, "Brother Xu is right. This is just ripping off the fat sheep and asking for a higher price! The worst that can happen is we can just find someone else!"

Xu Xiaoou glanced at Cao Dun and asked, "How did you sign that contract with Ding Wei? The compensation is only 3,000 yuan? Are you kidding?"

Cao Dun quickly explained: "She was introduced by Sister Na, I..."

Life Producer Chen Guang whispered to Lin Xingzhuo, "Ding Wei signed a contract with Dadi Records and wrote "Love Needs You to Be Perfect" for Na Ying. Her background is very strong."

Teng Huatao took the initiative to persuade him, "Dadi Records also contacted me, and the content of the songs is really good. It's not Lao Cao's fault."

"How about this, Lao Cao? You're pretty familiar with the musicians at the Shencheng Conservatory of Music, so I'll leave this to you."

Cao Dun secretly groaned inwardly. She was a senior from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Class of 89. How could any of her juniors dare to take on this job?

However, you have to grit your teeth and fill the hole you dug yourself.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, leave it to me."

…………

Lin Xingzhuo remembered that Brother Huo Jiu had a good relationship with Ding Wei.

In 2014, Ding Wei recommended Huo Jiuzun to participate in the CCTV music reality show "Good Song".

The original ancient style song "Rolling Pearl Curtain" sung in the program was highly praised by mentors Liu Huan, Cai Jianya and others.

Veteran actor Liu Huan was even moved to tears by the song, making Huo Jiuge the "Prince of Chinese Style" and an overnight sensation.

Lin Xingzhuo looked at Cao Dun, who had a gloomy face and was smoking fiercely.

…………

Cao Dun also obviously recalled the classical folk music appreciation meeting at the Bund Wanli KTV a few days ago.

Brother Huo Jiu, that little bastard, abruptly asked about the progress of the crew's theme song production.

At that time, I thought he came to drink some soup.

Now it seems that they are most likely here to gather intelligence.

Shit! No wonder he didn't come to me to fulfill the four roles he promised.

Look at this guy, damn!

He looks quite honest on the surface, but damn!

…………

After the meeting, Lin Xingzhuo found the executive director's office.

Chen Guang and Cao Dun were scolding Huo Jiuge.

Cao Dun was heartbroken and said, "I just felt something was wrong that day and wanted to endure it."

"Who would have thought! The flute spirit opened a bag of multicolored string candies and tied them into knots with his tongue..."

"Fuck! Any normal man would think so much after seeing this!"

Chen Guang also complained, "Director Cao, I'm even worse off. That little guzheng spirit's hands are too weird. It made me use up my mana potion prematurely!"

"Later, when we walked in, we found out that Huo Jiuge and her had been to the KTV bathroom... Damn, there was even white frost hanging on it!"

Cao Dun patted Chen Guang and comforted him, "Forget it, forget it, it's just a little bit of wind and frost."

…………

Seeing Lin Xingzhuo coming in, Cao Dun sighed, "Xingzhuo, lust is like a knife hanging over your head. There are bad people among the people!"

Lin Xingzhuo handed over a hard special panda and asked, "Director Cao, how much can I get for this theme song?"

Cao Dun looked at Lin Xingzhuo and asked doubtfully, "Do you know how to compose music?"

Lin Xingzhuo's voice is good, but music creation is different from filming. You can't just throw it into a collective production and fill in the gaps. Music creation is a completely personal endeavor, truly requiring talent and professional ability.

Lin Xingzhuo said, "I thought of a song during the meeting."

Cao Dun said in disbelief: "You already have a song? This is no joke."

"Director Teng and producer Xu Xiaoou requested that this theme song be on par with the theme songs for films like 'A Dream of Red Mansions' from two years ago, and the previous 'Wish Upon a Star' and 'Beautiful Myth'."

Life producer Chen Guang didn't dare to say a word. This coal-based artist exuded a weird aura. Who knows if he would do another big thing.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo hummed a few lines of "Xiaochou".

Cao Dun was petrified on the spot: "Fuck, if you have this ability, why don't you become a singer?"

Lin Xingzhuo recalled the benefits he had received since becoming an actor.

Thirty wooden boxes of Bordeaux Left Bank Gautier 2009, a Paradise on Earth Platinum Card animal collection, an unlimited artist contract, and a first-generation Tiffany Keys kaleidoscope key...

A large amount of Bitcoin, Dayi Olympic commemorative Pu'er tea cakes, rubbings of the Twenty-Five Masterpieces of Longmen, and Song Dynasty rubbings of the Emperor and Empress Worshiping Buddha...

I flirted with Li Zhen and Hai Qing, and learned a musical instrument from the pipa master who was once a representative of the top ten outstanding students at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music...

He also acted arrogantly in the crew, getting along well with the chief director, producer, and executive director. He also took in Wen Zhang, the top acting star of the Mesozoic generation in the 2010s, as his younger brother.

In my previous life, I worked like a slave all my life, but I never got as much as I have in these few short months as an actor in the entertainment industry. I earn more and enjoy more... not to mention the satisfaction brought by this kind of emotion.

Fuck! No wonder those illiterate, mentally retarded, idiots who can only stare, and scumbags with corrupt values ​​are all scrambling to make a living from this.

It smells so good!

If these people can eat it, then of course I can eat it too.

And according to the person behind my sister-in-law, she will be able to eat more and more in the next few years, and her diet will get better and better...

Lin Xingzhuo sighed truthfully: "I can't bear to let go..."

Cao Dun understood immediately and realized that he was too narrow-minded.

If you are good at acting, you can sing.

This Lin Xingzhuo wants to emulate the four kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars of the past and walk the glorious road to dominance!

He was reluctant to stray from this path to stardom, so he followed the example of Andy Lau and Lai Ming, who had been dormant at TVB, and devoted himself to studying acting, starting with the difficult and then moving on to the easy...

........................

In the afternoon, the crew began filming the breakup scene between Xiaobei and Haizao.

When Xiaobei called Haizao, it was Song Siming who answered the phone.

Silly Xiao Bei heard the man's voice on the phone and thought he had dialed the wrong number, so he said, "Sorry, wrong number."

Song Siming deliberately said, "Who are you? Are you looking for Haizao? Haizao is taking a bath."

Xiaobei was immediately defeated, and then followed and caught Haizao and Song Siming's secret meeting on the spot.

After that, Haizao promised to cut off her relationship with Song Siming on the surface, but she still kept in touch with him secretly.

Xiaobei finally found the text message sent by Song Siming: "Hai Zao, come back, don't get married."

The two broke up completely...

…………

Li Xun, who plays Guo Haizao.

These days, with the tireless explanations of the director, screenwriter and producer, and the constant guidance of the late bloomer Zhang Jiayi, his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Even though Wen Zhang's emotional transformation from repression to roaring was extremely impactful in the breakup scene, Li Xian was not afraid at all and was able to take it on. He even counterattacked, causing Wen Zhang to NG twice.

Wen Zhang was also confused. When did he offend this sister?

…………

Li Xian was thinking, I let you bully my number one fan last time, and he looked at Lin Xingzhuo with pride.

Unfortunately, Lin Xingzhuo didn't pay any attention at all.
