The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

On the 18th floor of Tianyu, Liu Zhonglei received a call from an official source.

Next year is the year 0100 in the Chinese calendar, and it is also the th anniversary of the founding of China. In order to celebrate the th anniversary of the founding of China, the Chinese government has decided to officially fund the filming of a main-theme TV series on the life of Emperor Qian. Now, for the theme song, it has decided to publicly solicit submissions from major entertainment companies.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhonglei felt a little worried, so he invited Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu, the two Mr. Qu, to come over and told them the general situation.

"Our Tianyu is the leading company in China's entertainment industry. If we can't get the theme song, it will be embarrassing at best, but the stock price will definitely be affected. Therefore, we can only ask you two to work together on this theme song."

Liu Zhonglei looked serious and seemed to take this matter very seriously.

Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu both nodded. They couldn't let down their guard at this moment.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. This is not the first time that Lao Liu and I have worked together. We will go all out this time."

"Okay, thank you very much, elders."

The two went back to the sixth floor together, talking as they walked.

"Lao Liu, you are best at writing lyrics, so I'll leave the lyrics to you and I'll compose the music. How about that?"

Mr. Liang said to Mr. Liu.

"Yes, that's appropriate."

This matter quickly spread on the Internet, and all entertainment companies wanted to show their faces in front of the authorities so as to get official support in the future.

Cai Zekai also received a notice from his company Star Shine, asking him to participate. Although he is a first-level arranger, the level of an arranger does not mean that the song cannot be written well. It is common for low-level arrangers to suppress high-level arrangers.

In fact, Cai Zekai has been recuperating at home recently, occasionally playing the piano and listening to songs, especially Yue's songs.

Every time he listened, he would have new feelings. He seemed to have found inspiration from Yue's songs, and occasionally he would pick up a pen to write down the music or a few lyrics on paper.

He didn't pay much attention to the company's call and continued to immerse himself in songwriting.

Three days later, a song called "Twilight of the World" was born. The quality was very high. At least Cai Zekai was very satisfied with it. The audio he made for it was not computer synthesized, but his own piano playing. Nowadays, few people use musical instruments to make audio, which shows how much he values ​​this song.

November has arrived in the blink of an eye, and Xue Ying'er's "Cloudy Day" has finally been released. It has directly topped the charts and become number one, while the rest of the songs have all been ranked behind. This is the dominance of Yue Shen Ge.

Now the filming of "Avatar" has entered the final stage. The protagonist's scenes have been shot, and Xiaoyue is immersed in editing the exterior scenes shot by Group B all day long. If the shot is not good, it will have to be re-shot.

Although Zhang Zehua no longer has any roles to play, he still goes to the filming set every day, and sometimes follows Xiaoyue to watch her editing.

Sometimes he would be amazed at Xiaoyue's abilities. She was very precise in selecting shots and would explain to the special effects team what effect she wanted for each shot.

During the break, Wu Hao asked Xiao Yue: "Mr. Cheng, will we shoot Avatar 2 or 3?"

"There are also two and three. I have been thinking whether to shoot them together. That way the timeline will be longer. It will take at least half a year to shoot two and three, and at least 5 billion."

Xiaoyue thought about it and said.

"Fifty billion..." Wu Hao took a breath.

Xiao Yue smiled and said: "So, let's give everyone some time, and we can talk about the second and third things after the New Year. But we should renew the lease of the studio we rented!"

After listening to their conversation, Zhang Zehua smiled and said, "That's great. Then I don't have to act anymore."

"However, I think we can hire another director. You can't do it alone. It's too much work." Xiao Yue suggested to Wu Hao, who had a scruffy beard.

"You're right. I do have a candidate, Jiang Yu. His film, "Mech Tank," will be screened at the same time as yours, but Qixing is the largest investor and is also responsible for the film's promotion, but he is the director of Tianyu."

Xiaoyue didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns. Since he is from Tianyu, it is not easy for her to snatch him from Tianyu!

Seeing Xiaoyue's embarrassed look, Wu Hao smiled and said, "You don't have to intervene in this matter. He and I are quite familiar with each other. We used to play games together when we were in Tianyu."

"OK then!"

Jiang Yu has been very depressed recently. Although no one in Tianyu said anything about him, he has not been able to adjust his mentality.

In the evening, I received a call from Wu Hao, asking him to have a drink together.

He wanted to refuse at first, after all, Wu Hao was a hot new director and his first movie was a big hit. But when he thought about how they were still friends, he thought Wu Hao spoke very normally and it didn't sound like he was mocking or looking down on him.

The two of them met at Liu Wenjie's bar, sat in a private room, ordered a bottle of red wine, and each drank a glass before getting down to business.

“Do you want to come and film Avatar?”

"Aren't you about to finish filming?" Jiang Yu looked at Wu Hao in confusion, thinking he was joking.

"After the Chinese New Year, we will be filming Avatar 2 and Avatar 3. I can only film one by myself, and the other one will be left to you."

Jiang Yu didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him.

"Are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm joking? I came here because President Cheng agreed."

"It must be you who recommended me, right?" Jiang Yu had seen through everything.

Wu Hao said somewhat embarrassedly: "Look at you, you see the truth but don't say it out loud. Come, have a drink."

The two of them drank another glass of red wine.

"Let me tell you something. If you want to be a director in the Avatar crew, you must terminate your contract with Tianyu and sign with Yuexiang Entertainment."

Wu Hao made it clear in advance to prevent Jiang Yu from agreeing and then regretting it.

After hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded calmly and said, "It's time for me to leave Tianyu. Those people used to call me Brother Jiang, but now they call me Xiao Jiang. Really, I'm tired of those people's faces. I just failed, and I didn't lose money, I just didn't make any money..."

After drinking some wine, Jiang Yu started to talk more and said out loud everything that was in his heart.

"Come on, come on, have a drink. What happened in the past is in the past. From now on, we are a family and brothers."

Wu Hao put his arm around Jiang Yu's shoulders, picked up his glass and clinked glasses with him.

The next day, Wu Hao saw Xiao Yue, who was beaming with joy. He said, "Last night, I finally used my eloquence to pry Jiang Yu away from Tianyu, hehe..."

"Then do you have to smile so deviously? Also, ask your Ma Li to quickly gather the people needed in the company, and we will start filming after the New Year. Even if no one invests, I will invest myself."

Although Xiaoyue doesn't take care of things in the company, she doesn't completely ignore them.

"Don't worry. Our company's building is already under renovation. Your office is on the sixteenth floor. It's very large. You can live there without any worries."

Xiao Yue almost forgot that the office building was about to be completed, and said: "Let Ma Li come to see me when she is free. I have to choose what I want myself."

"it is good."

Ma Li looks rather dignified and behaves in a proper manner. She did not seem nervous at all when she saw Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue simply gave her the decoration requirements for her floor and a list of furniture to be configured, and then let her go.

Old Xing called Xiaoyue again and said, "Mr. Lou Zhongyue, the People's Library contacted me again recently, talking about the copyright of the fable collection..."

Xiaoyue remembered that it seemed to be an official library, but the contract given last time made Xiaoyue very unhappy, so this time they were cooperating with Yiwen Book Library.

In fact, the attitude of Yiwen Library was quite sincere, but the issue of giving shares was a bit petty.

"Oh? What did they say?" Xiaoyue was also very curious about the official attitude this time. Would there be any bloody plot of forced buying and selling?

Unfortunately, Xiaoyue was disappointed. She only heard Lao Xing say, "It was Lao Jin, the editor-in-chief of the People's Library, who came to see me personally. The contract is three percentage points higher than the one given by the Art and Literature Library last time. Nothing else has changed."

Xiaoyue calculated that the extra three percentage points of profit is more valuable than the shares of Art Bookstore. However, we still have to wait and see, as there may be new changes at Art Bookstore.

"Don't worry. Tell the People's Library about this to the Arts and Literature Library and see how they react."

Old Xing suddenly realized that Lou Zhongyue was very smart!

"Okay, I'll go right away..."

For some reason, Lao Xing still felt a little excited.
