The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

"surprise..."

A large bunch of sunflowers appeared in front of Xiaoyue who had just walked out of the elevator.

"Thank you!" Xiaoyue quickly took it and then saw Zhang Zehua with dark circles under his eyes.

"Did you steal vegetables last night?"

Zhang Zehua was in high spirits. He knew Xiaoyue was joking, so he said embarrassedly, "It's mainly because I'm too happy. Do you know where my song ranked?"

Xiao Yue guessed that it should be a very good ranking, and asked tentatively: "Eighteenth?"

This was just her best guess, after all, songs in Guangnan dialect had never made it into the top 50.

"No, guess again."

Zhang Zehua still smiled, which meant he had guessed too low.

"Ninth?"

"No, first."

“First?” Xiaoyue was really surprised. She didn’t expect that a song in Guangnan dialect could take first place?

"Our song 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies' was jokingly called a dark horse by everyone, leaving the others far behind."

Zhang Zehua is usually such a gentle man, but now he is as happy as a child. He had already torn his gentleness into pieces and flushed it down the toilet.

"Congratulations then."

"No, it should be about celebrating together."

After seeing off the excited Zhang Zehua, Xiaoyue suddenly became motivated again. She must be in the top ten next month. She will definitely get the second-level arranger in six months.

Xiaoyue returned to the office, put the sunflowers in the vase, took out her cell phone and called Zhang Heng.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Heng was so excited. It turned out that the teacher still remembered me, his only disciple.

"Well, come to the company later and call Lu Ming, Xu Mengjie and Zhang Tianqi over."

"Okay, teacher."

After Zhang Heng hung up the phone, he immediately called the other three people and informed them to go to Tianyu and ask Yue Shen to summon them again.

He also sent a message in the Yue Family Army group: "Lu Ming, Xu Mengjie, Zhang Tianqi, Yue God is summoning you now, hurry up."

In the crew of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", Xue Ying'er was putting on makeup. When she saw the group message, her eyes turned red with envy.

Seeing her like that, Xiaoyu quickly reminded her, "Sister Ying'er, stay calm, there are so many people watching outside."

Xue Ying'er's expression immediately returned to normal, and she posted a GIF of a naughty kid rolling around in the group.

There are three people in the group now, "Got it, will be there soon."

Only Xue Ying'er didn't maintain formation.

The others who didn't speak were also envious, but they didn't want to talk anymore. It would be enough to have one person to represent them, so the emoticon pack of Xue Ying'er hung in the group for several days.

Half an hour later, Xiaoyue saw the four people panting.

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. The party will be fine."

The four people found that Yue Shen had lost weight and his face became smaller, but he looked more delicate.

"We dare not be late."

The four of them laughed foolishly, and Xiaoyue shook her head. These were the people she chose.

"Zhang Heng, go get the four sheets of music from the printer."

"Okay." Zhang Heng was the person who knew Xiaoyue's office best, and he immediately ran to get the music score.

The other three wanted to help, but there was no need, so they just stood there stupidly.

"Why are you standing? Sit down!"

Seeing that they had all sat down, Xiaoyue sat opposite the three of them. At this time, Zhang Heng came over with the music score, carefully sat on the sofa next to Xiaoyue, and then handed the music score to her with both hands.

When the other three saw this, they were surprised. Was Zhang Heng trying to highlight his status as the number one disciple?

Xiaoyue took it, looked at it, and after making sure there was no problem, she gave it to the four people one by one.

"This is the new song you're going to release next month. Take it home and practice it well. The audio isn't ready yet, so we'll have to wait."

"Okay, thank you, God Yue."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Okay, the three of you go back, Zhang Heng stays."

The three of them looked at the proud Zhang Heng with envy, then left with the music score.

"It's the same as last time. You will do the audio for these four songs."

Zhang Heng knew that the audio of Xue Ying'er's "Fruits of Summer" was made by the two of them together. Later, Zhang Heng saw his name in the arrangement column of the music charts. Although he was ranked behind his teacher, he was very grateful that the teacher did not deny the fruits of his labor.

"Which one do you want to sing first, teacher?"

"Your song 'Someone Like Me'."

Zhang Heng sat in Xiaoyue's seat and started to produce the audio. He didn't look at the music score carefully when he got it just now, but now that he looked at it carefully, he found that this song was so heartfelt that it almost touched his heart.

Xiaoyue returned to her lounge, took out her notebook, and began to think about what to write.

It must also be a short story. Xiaoyue has read a lot of them. The most famous fable is "Aesop's Fables", but on Blue Star it has to be renamed "Lou Zhongyue's Fables Collection".

There are a total of 357 stories in it, most of which are animal fables. The animals behave in the same way as humans. The author uses these stories to express certain ideas, moral consciousness or life experiences in a figurative way, so that readers can receive corresponding education.

These stories are short but profound in meaning. Some teach people to be honest and diligent; some advise people not to be proud and not to lie; some explain that one should follow the rules and do things within one's ability; and many others reflect that although the strong are cruel, they are often defeated by the weak, as well as various life lessons with profound meanings.

Xiaoyue was very satisfied and decided to upload three articles a day from now on. This would be enough for nearly four months, and by then she would be almost finished with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Xiaoyue was deeply impressed by this fable, as she had often listened to it as a child in her previous life. She typed three versions, slightly modified the story content, and uploaded them to the short story section.

In fact, she didn't spend much time before going out to see how Zhang Heng was doing with the audio.

"Are you having any difficulties?" Xiao Yue asked as she brought Zhang Heng a cup of tea.

Zhang Heng quickly said, "Thank you, teacher. I will pour myself some tea when I am thirsty in the future. I haven't done it yet. I think this song is perfect for me. When I finish it, you can listen to it first."

"Okay, keep going." Xiao Yue was also happy to have some free time, so she walked out of the office and met Wu Hao head-on.

"Has it passed the trial?"

"Passed, Director Cheng." Wu Hao couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Well, come with me to the 13th floor to see Minister Zhou and see how to arrange the theater line."

"it is good."

The two went directly to the 13th floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, someone recognized Xiaoyue, who was wearing a mask. Seeing her walking towards the minister's office, they quickly called Zhou Lei to inform her.

Zhou Lei received the call and hurried out.

"Hello, Director Cheng. What brings you here?"

Xiao Yue was a little confused by his enthusiasm. Are they familiar with each other? And he called her the director? He is the department director!

Xiao Yue saw many people stopping to look over here. How strange it was that the minister personally came to greet them. She quickly said, "Minister Zhou, you are too polite. How about we find a place to talk?"

"Okay, okay, this way please."

Wu Hao found that he felt very honored to go out with Xiao Yue. He was from the film and television department, and usually no one paid attention to him. But just now, several familiar people actually nodded and greeted him.

The two followed Zhou Lei into his office and sat down. Zhou Lei's office was not as luxurious as Xiaoyue's.

"It's like this, Minister Zhou. Our movie has been approved, and I want to ask the theaters how to arrange it."

Xiaoyue goes straight to the point and doesn't like to beat around the bush.

"It was finished and approved so quickly?" Zhou Lei had a lot of things to do all day, and with so many low-budget movies being filmed at the same time, he had never paid attention to the movies Xiaoyue had made.

"Yes, I just received the review notice."

Zhou Lei never thought it would be so fast. Some other film crews have just started shooting, and even if they have already started shooting, it will take at least two or three months to finish!

"Can I see the finished film?" Zhou Lei thought for a moment and asked. He wanted to make sure the quality was up to standard.

"Of course you can. Director Wu, please send a copy of the finished film to Minister Zhou."

"Okay." Wu Hao left in a hurry.

Xiaoyue told Zhou Lei about the filming experience and editing process of the movie "Phone Booth". She could see that Zhou Lei really didn't understand anything.

Zhou Lei was silent after hearing this. The equipment was not from the company? It was bought for 36 million? The filming cost about 30 million, but the company only gave 10 million. So, can the profit sharing of this drama still be carried out according to the contract?

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

Zhou Lei went out to pee and called Liu Zhonglei to report the situation to him.

Liu Zhonglei knew that Xiaoyue had finished filming, and he didn't expect that it cost so much money. He knew that Xiaoyue bought the equipment herself, but it was more than 10 million, and this girl paid for it out of her own pocket.

"Minister Zhou, please revise the contract so that we split it into three and she splits it into seven. It's not appropriate for me, an elder, to take advantage of the younger."

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

Xiaoyue found that Minister Zhou was not in good health. He went to the bathroom for so long that Wu Hao came back after sending the email.

"Hehe, sorry, something delayed me."

Zhou Lei sat down and continued, "I just received a call from the president. He said that the contract for your film needs to be changed. Excluding the theaters, the rest will be 30% for the company and 70% for you. We can't let you suffer any loss."

Xiaoyue immediately understood that Minister Zhou was a wonderful person. He must have gone to report to the president just now, which was why he said that. However, this was in line with the president's style of doing things.

"Thank you, President and Minister Zhou."

The two of them signed the contract again, and then the three of them watched a movie together.

Two hours later, Zhou Lei couldn't sit still anymore and said excitedly, "This movie has a great market. I will discuss it with the theater chain first, and then confirm the cooperation partner after they watch the movie. Director Cheng, what do you think?"

"no problem."

Xiaoyue quickly agreed that there was no problem with this process.

It was almost lunch time, so Xiaoyue quickly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the sixth floor.

What she didn't know was that Zhou Lei pulled Wu Hao aside to chat for a long time and even had dinner together. He completely figured out the reason why the filming progress was so fast, and she couldn't help but admire him.

He had watched the movie, and the shots were very exciting. They didn't look like they were shot by a newcomer, nor did they look like they could be shot and edited by Wu Hao.

For such a good film, he must find a few good theaters to release it. Now he dare not say outside that it is a low-budget film. Not only will it lower the theaters' opinion of the film, but more importantly, it is impossible to make such a good film with a low budget.

He called and said that the film was made with an investment of 70 million yuan and was of very good quality.
