The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

"Could it be that they want our arrangement department to compose music for the TV series?" Xiao Yue guessed.

"That's possible!" Chen Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "In the past, we didn't get to compose the soundtracks and theme songs for TV series shot by Tianyu. We only got to compose the soundtracks for one or two series. We could only compose the soundtracks for cartoons."

"The president is here!" Someone shouted and everyone fell silent instantly.

Xiaoyue looked up and saw that it was the president Liu Zhonglei, followed by his assistant.

I have to say that although Liu Zhonglei is in his forties, he is still very elegant. I think Liu Wenjie must be more handsome than the president at this age.

Oh, that’s not right. Why am I thinking of Liu Wenjie again?

Xiaoyue wanted to slap herself. Why would she compare herself to Liu Wenjie whenever she saw a handsome guy?

Is it because he is the most handsome?

Well, that should be the reason.

At this time, Liu Zhonglei was already sitting in the main seat. He greeted Zhou Lei from the Film and Television Department as well as Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu, and then looked at the people sitting below.

Liu Xinran had been holding her computer and replying to emails. She closed the computer when she saw Liu Zhonglei arrive.

"The meeting begins now."

"We at Tianyu have already bought the film and television copyrights of Lou Zhongyue's "Flying Fox of Snow Mountain" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". We are now preparing the crew, because these two dramas are very important, and the requirements for the music are definitely higher than before. Minister Zhou, please tell me about the requirements of your film and television department!"

"Let me first talk about how much music is involved in "Flying Fox of Snow Mountain". At present, in addition to the theme song, we need at least six interlude songs to be interspersed in the plot. We don't want ordinary songs, they must fit the plot. There are at least 20 background musics, which will be arranged according to the scenes."

"Now our Tianyu arrangement department is full of talented people, why don't we discuss how to distribute the songs next!"

Zhou Lei looked towards the Arrangement Department after he finished speaking, met Wang Mingda's gaze, and said with a smile: "Minister Wang, this matter requires the cooperation of your Arrangement Department."

Wang Mingda looked at his three capable men: Liu Xinran, Mr. Liang, and Mr. Liu.

Liu Xinran spoke first: "We want the theme song and six interlude songs of Snow Mountain Flying Fox for three of our series, but not the others, including the songs of The Deer and the Cauldron. We won't make any money from any of our three series."

Suddenly, Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu were confused about what Liu Xinran was doing.

"You're not sure if you're going to make any money?"

"Sure." Liu Xinran answered firmly.

"Are you confident that you can do it well?" Liu Zhonglei also looked at his sister. He had never seen her so eager to grab songs, not even the interlude.

"Yeah." Liu Xinran was full of confidence.

All the dozen or so arrangers of the three parts, except Xiaoyue, were dumbfounded.

No, Sister Liu, where do you get your confidence from?

We can't do it, we cry.

Xiaoyue didn't expect that Liu Xinran trusted her so much, because Xiaoyue just sent a message to Liu Xinran, asking her to grab the theme song and six interlude songs, and she would take care of them.

"Okay, since you three are so confident, then our one will take care of the rest of the background music." Mr. Liang did not want the one to fall behind the three, so he said quickly.

Old Liu opened his mouth, but failed to grab the opponent's words from Old Liang, and glared at Old Liang angrily.

You are so good, Lao Liang, you ignore brotherhood at the critical moment.

"Look, it's all arranged." Wang Mingda looked at Zhou Lei proudly and said, "Minister Zhou, go ahead!"

Zhou Lei was really fooled by Wang Mingda's trick and could only say dryly: "Then let's talk about the theme song and interlude of The Deer and the Cauldron..."

Xiaoyue didn't continue listening, thinking that it must have been divided between Part 2 and Part 1.

Wang Mingda has never felt so refreshed as he does today. Everyone under him is rushing to work, unlike before when he couldn't even assign people to work.

"Minister Zhou, there shouldn't be anything else, right?"

"Minister, can you also help us with the ending song of our movie?" Just then a film director, who must have been getting impatient, interrupted quickly because he saw that the arrangement department was about to leave.

"And the ending song of our movie..." another young director shouted.

"And we..."

Wow, seven or eight directors stood up in a rush.

"Minister Zhou, what's going on?" Liu Zhonglei looked at Zhou Lei in confusion, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Boss Liu, didn't we talk about asking them to make some low-budget movies in the last meeting? I told them that, and then they selected the script and prepared to start filming. Because it was agreed that the funds given to them included the money for the ending song, but as soon as these bastards heard that there was a meeting with the arrangement department today and they could get the songs for free, they all came here," Zhou Lei explained.

"Minister Zhou, this is where you're wrong. The money you gave must be too little, right?" Old Liu said.

"That's right. Our arrangement department is not a place where you can get things for free." Mr. Liang followed up.

"Our third department is very busy and we don't have enough staff." Liu Xinran said quietly.

"Look, Minister Zhou, please don't make things difficult for our arrangement department!" Wang Mingda smiled brightly. It was the first time today that he saw his three subordinates so united.

"Minister Zhou, I told you to make low-budget movies, but I didn't say you can fleece the arrangement department, right? Also, the most important thing for a low-budget movie is the content, so you have to strictly control it!" Liu Zhonglei couldn't stand it anymore. This Zhou Lei was messing around.

The group of young directors were also anxious. They looked at Zhou Lei and said, "Minister, did you promise to help us solve the ending song today?"

Zhou Lei was sold out in just one sentence.

Zhou Lei was so angry that he slapped the young director who was talking and cursed: "You idiot!"

The young director cried out in pain after being beaten.

Now there’s an internal conflict!

Liu Zhonglei turned around and left angrily, and then the others also left in a swarm.

In the end, only the people in the Film and Television Department were left looking at each other.

Back at the office on the sixth floor, it was almost time to get off work. Xiaoyue was about to pack up and leave, but Liu Xinran pulled her into her office.

"You girl, you have so many songs to write, why do you take on so many of them? If it weren't for your ability, I would have thought you were crazy." Liu Xinran pressed Xiaoyue on the sofa and went to make her a cup of tea.

"I have so many lice that I don't have to worry about feeding them. If things really don't work out, I'll just hire an assistant for myself." Xiaoyue was absolutely serious about the second half of her sentence. She was too busy and couldn't take care of everything.

"We'll talk about the assistant later. As for this job, I'll give it to you, but you have to do it within your ability." Liu Xinran handed the tea to Xiaoyue and persuaded her.

"Aunt, I know what I'm doing. Now that I've done it, I'll definitely do it well." Xiaoyue was a little moved, and Liu Xinran had nothing to say to her.

After taking a few sips, Xiao Yue sighed: "Aunt is the best at making tea. I am just a cow chewing peony when drinking tea."

"By the way, have you checked out the newcomer list for June?"

"No, isn't it already first?" Xiaoyue took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.

"You're going to be a level three arranger soon, congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Xinran took a file bag from the table and handed it to Xiaoyue, saying: "I almost forgot, the administrative department wants to promote you to the third-level arranger. Here is the contract. Just sign it after you check it out."

"Aunt, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get the third-level arranger certificate?" Xiaoyue said jokingly.

Liu Xinran smiled and said, "If you can't get it, no one can get it."

Xiaoyue flipped through the contract and signed her name.

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Xiaoyue wrote the fairy tale and uploaded it.

Two articles a day, no more, no less.

What Xiaoyue didn’t know was that the fairy tales she posted had spread throughout kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in the past few days.

Nowadays, the bedtime stories for kindergarten children have become "Thumbelina" and "The Little Match Girl".

The students were also recommended by their teacher to read Fairy Tale of the Moon in the Building, and their evening homework was to write a review of the book.

A student was writing a review while mumbling: "Lou, I hate you."

At this moment, Xiaoyue was also in trouble sitting in front of the computer. She also had homework to do, which was to write a poem.

Xiaoyue searched the Internet to see if there are many poems about lotus. If she really can't write one, she can just find one that's similar.

This search really gave me a shock. There are quite a few poems online, but none of them are very good.

Finally, I decided to change an ancient poem, and Xiaoyue's poem was born.

Lotus viewing in Pinghu

After all, Pinghu is in June.

The scenery is not the same as the four seasons.

Take the sky lotus leaves infinitely green,

The lotus in the sun is differently red.
