The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Xiaoyue finally got off work on time today because she needed to go home to prepare her luggage for tomorrow's trip to Jinshi.

Xiaoyue has never traveled far since coming to this world, and knows nothing except what she has read in books.

In the evening, Xiaoyue finished updating the books and looked at the map of China. She found that Jinshi was actually a coastal city with a well-developed tourism industry, making it a tourist destination.

This time we go to Jinshi to check out the local scene, Xiaoyue is already thinking about a place to live in her retirement.

The next morning, Master Li sent Xiaoyue to Tianyu.

Xiaoyue, pulling her suitcase, saw from afar that there were three buses parked in Tianyu’s parking lot. Many people had already boarded the buses, and some were still parking their suitcases.

"Director Cheng, this way."

Then, whether it was the people on the bus or the people outside the bus, they all looked in Xiaoyue's direction.

This is the first time that the chief producer of this movie has made an appearance. How can we not be curious?

The girl in a beige knee-length skirt, a ponytail, a slim figure, and a mask, who looks like a college student, is actually the chief producer of a movie?

While everyone was stunned, Xiaoyue had already walked to the front of the bus.

Wu Hao said cheerfully: "Director Cheng, do you need me to help you put your suitcase away?"

"Need not."

Xiaoyue picked up the suitcase, put it away easily, then got on the bus and sat next to Wu Hao.

At this time, people on the bus greeted Xiaoyue one after another.

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"Well, hello everyone." Xiaoyue was very polite and responded to everyone one by one.

Jinshi is about 200 kilometers away from Beijing, and it takes about two hours by bus to reach the hotel where we were going to stay in Jinshi.

The hotel is not big and was booked directly by the crew.

The hotel's location is also very good, facing the sea, with luxurious interior decoration and sea views from every room.

Everyone was very satisfied with the hotel they stayed in. Some even said that they had never stayed in such a high-end hotel before.

Liu Wenjie is reliable. He actually let his restaurant employees rent the hotel's kitchen. All meals in the hotel will be provided by them in the future. The hotel is very happy to get this business. Not only does it bring in extra income, but it also reduces kitchen expenses and they can eat free meals every day. Such good customers are really rare.

Lunch was a big banquet with a variety of dishes, which made the entire crew feel that the trip was worth it.

Xiaoyue did not eat with everyone. Her meal was prepared by a special chef.

After lunch, Wu Hao brought the two young men to see Xiaoyue.

Wu Hao pulled a young man in camouflage and introduced him, "Director Cheng, let me introduce you to my childhood friend Ma Teng. We have entrusted the photography to his team this time."

"Hello, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"Hello, Director Cheng, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

Wu Hao pointed to another thin and handsome young man and introduced him, "Zhang Zehua, the leading actor of our movie."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang."

"Director Cheng, you are too polite. I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The four of them sat down and talked about tomorrow's shooting plan.

Xiaoyue didn't say anything, but just listened to Wu Hao talking about the arrangement of the scene and the preparations that needed to be made.

"If everyone is okay with this, I'll send someone to set up the scene and prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony."

No one has an opinion.

Although Xiaoyue has read a lot of books about directing recently, she has no practical experience, so she follows Wu Hao to learn.

In the evening, Xiaoyue started to pack red envelopes according to the number of people in the crew. There were more than a hundred people, and it took Xiaoyue more than an hour to finish.

Early the next morning, regardless of whether they had a film to film that day or not, everyone wore T-shirts printed with the crew of "Phone Booth" and took a bus to the old neighborhood where the telephone booth was.

The opening ceremony was hosted by Wu Hao, and Xiaoyue was only responsible for distributing red envelopes, one to each person.

When Xiaoyue gave the last red envelope to Wu Hao, he took it and opened it, and found that there was a bank card inside.

"Director Cheng, this..."

"The password is a good day to turn on the computer. Don't refuse. It's not much, but I'll have to trouble you in the future."

"Thank you."

Wu Hao felt a little sad. He could feel Xiaoyue's trust in him, so he secretly vowed to make the movie that Director Cheng wanted.

The first scene of the movie is Li Tu walking on a dilapidated street, answering the phone non-stop. Every word he says is the truth, showing his deception to the fullest.

This is a real test of Zhang Zehua's ability in delivering lines. It is not enough to just memorize them, he also has to coordinate them with some frivolous movements, which is a real test of his acting skills.

Zhang Zehua listened carefully to Wu Hao's explanation of the scene, while the crew was also planning the direction of the camera positions for filming.

Xiaoyue took a closer look at the scene. Although it was not as dirty and messy as in her previous life, it was almost the same. For today's China, it was already very dilapidated.

Seeing the extras in place, Wu Hao started to clap the board and began shooting the first scene.

Zhang Zehua was wearing a sophisticated suit, giving him the air of a gentleman but after he took a few steps, his whole temperament changed, like a second-rate guy on the street. He started answering the phone, and his eyes and voice tone were impeccable. Xiaoyue was stunned by what she saw. He is indeed a movie emperor, he can act in any role well.

"Click."

With Wu Hao's shout, the filming of the first scene ended, and everyone gathered around to watch the playback.

Xiao Yue also watched it carefully, thinking back to the movies she had watched before, and thought it was okay, so she said to Wu Hao, "I feel OK."

"Well, after the first act, we're off to a good start."

Everyone followed suit and shouted: "Good luck in opening the door."

The success of the first scene gave everyone great confidence, and the subsequent filming went surprisingly smoothly. Xiaoyue would only occasionally make some suggestions, such as which direction was best for the camera to shoot from. These were suggestions based on movies they had watched before.

At first, Wu Hao and Ma Teng didn't pay much attention to Xiaoyue's suggestions, but they still shot the video according to what she said. However, when they played it back, they found that Director Cheng's suggestions seemed good, and his sense of camera was much better than before.

As Xiaoyue made more and more suggestions, everyone took her suggestions very seriously. If one time is just a coincidence, then more times means it is strength.

"Director Cheng, why do you have so many reasonable suggestions?" Ma Teng is a professional photographer, and he knows best the importance of Xiaoyue's suggestions.

“Because I’ve played this movie in my head so many times, I know the perspective I want.”

Xiaoyue's words were a bit pretentious, but it was impossible to refute them, because she was the screenwriter of this movie and she knew the plot requirements and the desired effects best.

The filming of "No Phone Booth" went very smoothly and the atmosphere of the entire crew was very harmonious.

Although Xiaoyue is busy every day, she feels that she has gained a lot. She has learned a lot from the crew, which is an area she has never been exposed to before.

The July song rankings have been on for several days, and just as expected, Xiaoyue's eight new songs have been selling like crazy, firmly occupying the first eight places. The ninth place is actually a song by Long Piaopiao. In other words, Tianyu has dominated the rankings this time with a crushing momentum, leaving no chance for others.

Anyone who has listened to these eight songs will dislike Yue's works, because there is always a song that suits your taste.

And Yue, the newly promoted third-level arranger, is firmly above other composers and arrangers.

As expected, it’s Yue. Isn’t she the moon in the sky?

So Yue Shen is not the Moon God!

The most unexpected thing is that several groups launched by Tianyu in July are extremely popular, especially the Sweetheart Girls Group and the Beyoungboy Boys Group, which are popular among both young and old, and the songs of Lan Yu Legend have been included in the playlists of the elderly for square dancing.

Sandra Wong has become the dream lover of many men.

Xiao Ruyuan has become a template for many women looking for boyfriends.

From the day they were on the list, they received continuous announcements and there was even competition for them.

Tianyu CEO Liu Zhonglei was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The king of singers from Star Shine also participated in this music chart, but he was very smart. Even though the fan club was disbanded, he did not go to Tianyu. This was also a signal of cooperation that Star Shine sent to Tianyu.

"If you can't beat them, join them." This is what Wei Moyao from Qixing said.

In the music rankings in July, Qixing also put out two songs, but they were just sung by two second-level arrangers and unknown singers. It seemed that they had no chance of competing with Tianyu at all, which made Gu Changhui admire Wei Moyao.

This guy has been cooperating with Tianyu for a long time, and now he is probably on even better terms with Tianyu.

In fact, Gu Changhui was not wrong in his guess. Tianyu's talent show auditions in the whole of China had already begun, and Qixing was able to join in halfway. This put Gu Changhui in a passive position, as he also wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Gu Changhui used up almost all of his connections before he was able to collaborate with Tianyu on a project, which was the production of the animated film "Snow White".

After the first cooperation, there will be a second one. Gu Changhui believes that as long as he is willing to suffer losses, there will be no cooperation project that he cannot get.
