The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars
Chapter 49 Don’t want to grow up
Liu Xinran was quite supportive and helped Xiaoyue find an unused office for her to store her fan letters.
Xiaoyue tried to refuse, saying it would be a waste of space. As a result, the security guard brought two boxes of fan letters, which were mailed to the company. Xiaoyue was left speechless.
After taking care of her fans, Xiaoyue can finally sit down and write songs in peace.
This time, the purpose was to write a song for the Sweetheart Girls Band. It would definitely not be appropriate for three girls who were only twelve or thirteen years old to sing about love, so Xiaoyue chose the song "Don't Want to Grow Up", which was sung by SHE in their previous life.
"Don't Want to Grow Up" has a bright mood but also a strong sense of sadness. It sings about a young girl's wish not to grow up.
The biggest feature of this song is that the three girls mixed traditional Chinese tongue twisters with Western hip-hop rhythms, following the trend of "Chinese style".
This kind of hip-hop rhythm does not exist in China at present, and I don’t know if it exists abroad. After all, some foreign countries have been severely suppressed by China, and their technological development is still lagging behind, not to mention music culture.
As for tongue twisters, they are rare in China. Never mind, let's just consider this as a first.
Xiaoyue started working happily as soon as she was told.
After lunch, free laborer Zhang Heng came. Xiaoyue asked Zhang Heng to use her office computer, and she went into the lounge with her laptop.
Xiaoyue was still thinking about the children's stories she posted last night. She opened the novel website and found that the children's stories were actually very popular, especially the number of downloads was very high. This was really a surprise.
What Xiaoyue didn’t know was that many kindergarten or primary school teachers came to download the books. Today, they told these three stories at the Children’s Day performance and explained the meaning of the stories to the children.
Xiaoyue still remembered that there were 166 stories in "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales". If she updated two stories every day, it would be enough for her to finish for three months, so she started writing.
Today I will write about "Thumbelina" and "The Little Match Girl". The stories still need to be adapted according to Blue Star, so Xiaoyue worked for an hour to adapt and sort out the stories. Then she added "Lou Zhongyue's Fairy Tales" to the Lou Zhongyue works column on the novel website. "Thumbelina" and "The Little Match Girl" became the first and second stories in the "Lou Zhongyue Fairy Tales Collection".
Although it was afternoon, many people received the notification that Lou Zhongyue had updated a new children's story and rushed to watch it.
"It looks like Lou Zhongyue is planning to write a lot of children's stories? Look, the 'Lou Zhongyue Fairy Tales Collection' has come out."
"Ahhh, I'm actually looking forward to it. Even though I'm an older child, no one can stop me from watching it."
"I have downloaded it and will read it to my children at home in the evening."
After Xiaoyue finished watching the children's stories, she went to watch the audio of "Don't Want to Grow Up" made by Zhang Heng.
In fact, Zhang Heng felt very novel about his teacher's new song. He had never known what hip-hop rhythm was, and he didn't know that tongue twisters could be incorporated into songs. This resulted in the rhythm of the audio he made not meeting Xiaoyue's requirements.
Xiaoyue explained patiently, Zhang Heng listened carefully, and then made some revisions.
At this time, Xiaoyue's phone rang. Although she didn't like being interrupted while working, she still took a look at the caller's number. It was Cheng Xingyao.
"I'm going to take a call."
Zhang Heng saw the teacher's face turn unhappy when he saw the name on the phone, but he didn't dare to say anything more and just focused on his work.
"Hey?"
"Xingyue, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?" Cheng Xingyao asked gently.
"I'm busy. If you have something to say, please speak up. If not, I'll hang up."
"Don't hang up. It's like this, Xingchen won a prize in the Youth Science and Technology Competition today, so I thought of having a meal together to celebrate for her. Also, the house will be returned to you tomorrow. I will take her away tomorrow morning and return to Shanghai." Cheng Xingyao was afraid that Xiaoyue would get angry, so he answered the phone directly and finished his words quickly.
"I won't live in this house anymore. I'll go back and take all my things away when I have time."
"Also, I won't be eating dinner tonight. Someone will deliver the congratulatory gift for Xingchen to the apartment."
"I'm still working, hang up."
Cheng Xingyao put away his phone, looked at Xingchen beside him, and sighed: "I knew she would be like this. However, she still remembered to congratulate you and give you a gift, which shows that she still has a family."
"Well, actually when I was a kid, my second sister and I played very well together. But when I entered elementary school and showed my talent, she distanced herself from me. I was ignorant before. She didn't come to play with me, and I didn't go to play with her, so our relationship became distant. We lived under the same roof, but didn't talk to each other for a whole year. It was my fault." Cheng Xingchen burst into tears as he spoke. He was filled with regret.
"Don't say that. I'm not a good brother." Cheng Xingyao tried hard not to let his tears fall, and said, "I am four years older than her. She was very cute when she was born. Thinking about it now, she is still the best-looking and cutest of the four of us. When she was a child, she was very attached to me and wanted to play with me. At that time, I only thought about studying and never paid attention to her. Gradually, she stopped coming to me. Later, she could have stayed in Shanghai to go to college, but she took the initiative to ask her parents to come to Beijing to go to college. In fact, at that time I realized that she didn't want this family anymore."
"Think about how proud I am every time in front of her. I guess she will just think I am showing off, right?"
"Brother, let's go back and talk to our parents about our second sister."
"it is good."
Before leaving get off work, Xiaoyue received a call from Lao Xing.
"Mr. Lou Zhongyue, I have almost finished the talks with Tianyu's film and television department these days." Old Xing was actually a little nervous because he felt that the price they negotiated was still too low.
"It's hard work. How much is Tianyu willing to pay?" Xiaoyue didn't expect the efficiency to be so fast. She thought it would take ten days or half a month.
In fact, what Xiaoyue didn’t know was that Tianyu was in a hurry. The crew had already started preparations. If the copyright of the script could not be obtained, all their work would be in vain.
"For 'Snow Mountain Flying Fox', we are talking about the TV drama copyright, which is 30 million. For 'The Deer and the Cauldron', we are talking about the movie, TV drama and online game copyright, which is 60 million. If you are not satisfied with this price, I will negotiate again..."
Xiaoyue remembered that the copyright of the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" in her previous life was 34 million. The difference of 4 million was still acceptable.
The copyright of the TV series of "The Deer and the Cauldron" in its previous life was six million. I have never seen the movie or the game, so there is no reference at all.
Xiaoyue thought about it and decided that Tianyu still had shares and other companies probably wouldn’t offer a higher price. So let it be. It wasn’t easy for Lao Xing to negotiate with her.
"acceptable."
"Do you agree?" Old Xing didn't expect that Lou Zhongyue would be so easy to talk to and actually agreed.
"Ah."
"Then are you going to sign a contract with Tianyu?" Old Xing asked uncertainly. After all, Lou Zhongyue doesn't like to see people.
"Can I ask you to sign for me? It's not convenient for me."
Xiao Yue thought, if I meet with the people from Tianyu, won't I be exposed? Especially since I made 90 million from Tianyu this time, I feel embarrassed.
"Then please write me a letter of authorization and I will sign it for you tomorrow. If it is convenient for you, you can also give me your address and I will send the signed contract to your home later."
"I'll send you the power of attorney via mobile phone later. You can leave the contract in the guard room of Pinghu Park Community. I will inform the guard in advance. Thank you!"
"You're welcome. It's my honor to serve you."
After the two hung up the phone, it took Old Xing a long time to recover from his shock.
I didn't expect that Lou Zhongyue actually lives in Pinghu Park Community, which is a villa area. I heard that the cheapest villa there costs hundreds of millions. No wonder she was unwilling to sign the contract in person. I guess this amount of money can't even buy half a villa, right?
Mr. Lou Zhongyue, this girl, the more I get to know her, the more unfathomable she seems to me.
Xiaoyue would laugh to death if she knew that Lao Xing was thinking this way. In fact, she was very happy now because she finally had money and didn't have to worry about her future life anymore.
Xiaoyue, who was so happy that she just hung up the phone, received another call from the Holiday Hotel.
"Boss, I'm sorry to contact you just now." Gao Jianmin's slightly apologetic voice came from the phone.
Xiaoyue's heart was filled with alarm bells. Could it be that the 90 million that she hadn't obtained yet was going to disappear?
"Is there something?" Xiaoyue felt her voice was a little shaky.
"Boss, it's like this. When you took over the hotel, you signed a contract not to manage its operations. Therefore, we have been carrying out management reforms during this period. So there are some things I still need to explain to you..."
"Wait." Xiao Yue suddenly interrupted Gao Jianmin and tried to adjust her breathing.
Here they come, here they come, the ones asking for money are here, Xiaoyue roared in her heart.
"Not enough money for operation?"
"Uh..." Gao Jianmin was at a loss. Did he mean to ask for money just now? No?
"Boss, don't get me wrong. Our hotel has just completed its restructuring..."
"Okay, how much do you want?" Xiaoyue really didn't want to hear the explanation. She wanted to sell the hotel now, but the child couldn't afford it!
"No money, boss." Gao Jianmin was a little anxious. Was the first communication with the boss so unsuccessful?
"Huh? You don't want money? Oh, then go on." Xiaoyue felt that her depression disappeared, but the hotel still had to be sold.
"In the past month, our hotel made a net profit of 15 million. I came here just for this matter." Gao Jianmin stated his purpose directly.
"Profitable?" Xiaoyue was surprised.
"Yes, boss. We used to make 10 million in profit per month, but after the restructuring, we can make 15 million a month." Gao Jianmin was still a little proud when talking about this.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Manager Gao."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Boss, give me your account number, and the finance department will transfer the previous month's profit to you at the beginning of each month. If you have any doubts about the company's accounts, you are welcome to come and give us guidance."
Xiao Yue was so happy that her mouth was almost stretched to her ears. She pretended to be calm and said, "Trust the people you employ. Don't doubt them. Just do your job with confidence. You can increase the employees' salaries by 5% next month so that they can work hard."
When Gao Jianmin heard this, he immediately smiled. Although there were some problems in communicating with the boss at the beginning, the boss was really generous. He wanted to give him money because he thought he had suffered a loss, and now he wanted to increase his salary. He was really a good boss.
Xiaoyue happily sent the bank account number to Gao Jianmin’s mobile phone and returned to the office happily.
Just as Zhang Heng finished modifying the audio, he saw Xiaoyue happily returning to the office.
Zhang Heng was confused. He was unhappy when he went out, but very happy when he came back. What did the teacher go through?
"Teacher, it's done. Listen to the results."
"Ok."
Xiaoyue put on her headphones and listened carefully, her head swaying to the rhythm of the music. After listening, she said with satisfaction: "Good performance, keep it up."
"As long as the teacher is satisfied." Zhang Heng blushed a little when he heard the teacher's praise.
After seeing Zhang Heng off, Xiao Yue transferred a thousand yuan to his phone and said, "There will be rewards if you work hard. Reward yourself tonight."
Zhang Heng didn't expect to receive a transfer from his teacher. One thousand yuan was enough for his food expenses for half a month. The teacher must have seen his financial difficulties, so he asked him to help and then subsidize him.
Zhang Heng, this big boy, had tears in his eyes. This was the second time he cried recently.
The first time he cried was when his teacher noticed him and said he would write a song for him. He cried alone in his bed in the cheap rental apartment until midnight.
I guess many people don’t understand Zhang Heng’s psychology, but he knows that his teacher Yue has given him a bright future.
