Chapter 291: Esslyn Solheim
The meeting with the two directors ended like this, Zheng Xudong failed to keep them after repeated attempts, and they all left in a hurry on the grounds of going back to prepare for the start of filming.
On the plane back to the capital, Teng Huatao once again thanked Zheng Xiaolong, and Zheng Xiaolong said to him earnestly: "You are not young anymore, just have fun, it's time to take care of yourself." Don't live up to your old man's expectations of you. This time, for Lao Teng's sake, I'll help you. Don't you think it's an example, you know?"
Teng Huatao was also in a cold sweat this time, "Thank you! One day I will have a treat and arrange for you and my father and brother to come out and sit." ”
"Hmm!
。。。。。。
"Zhang Zixuan and Jiang Xin, how did you meet? As far as I know, you are not a person in the circle!" Liu Yifei asked on the way back.
"I don't know any of them!" Zheng Xudong couldn't tell her that the "Hua Fei" and "Li Ke" in the later two dramas were played by these two people, and they were very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can be regarded as these two dramas that made them popular.
"Then you still choose them, what do I think there is between you?!"
Zheng Xudong smiled mysteriously and said, "This involves an issue of officialdom rules. ”
"Officialdom rules?"
"Yes, Zheng Xiaolong and Teng Huatao are our subordinates, we must believe in them, and they are doing a very good job, but we can't make them complacent and proud, so we must find some small faults in their work and always be vigilant about them. I believe that there must be their subordination in these two dramas, and even I can see that Teng Huatao cares a lot about the actresses who are replaced, and there are probably unspoken rules, if we blindly obey, they will think that we are easy to bully. So I agreed with the main male and female No. 1 and gave them enough face, but I changed the two No. 2s to beat them. Don't take the producer for a fool! Don't you see, if Zheng Xiaolong hadn't helped Teng Huatao break the siege in the end, Teng Huatao would have been guilty after he went back!"
"I didn't see that you were still so thick and black!" Liu Yifei pinched him.
"My dad studied ancient Chinese culture, so I know a little bit about these officialdom rules. ”
"Adong, your two novels "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" have been printed, and the first batch of 500,000 copies has been printed each, do you want to choose a date to go on the market?"
"No, I don't believe in that, as long as the work is good, I'm sure everyone will love it. By the way, the first part of the novel "Ghost Blows the Lantern" seems to have been updated, and it will be scheduled to be listed as soon as possible. ”
"It's still going to be delivered to the printing house, as you say. The first batch of a million copies was printed and will be printed the day after tomorrow. ”
"No, 'Ghost Blows the Lamp' will be reprinted now, at least two million copies. ”
"Are you so confident!? Many netizens have already finished reading it at the starting point, are they still willing to buy your physical book?"
"Don't worry, I'm confident in my work. Zheng Xudong thought to himself that this novel was sold out later, how could it be that he couldn't sell it here? And now he is famous, which is definitely much more popular than the original world tyrant singing.
In the evening, when he was sorting out the new songs to be released in the study, Liu Yifei came in with a plate of peeled apples cut into small pieces and placed them on his desk, and then put his arms around his neck and told him that his matter had just been broadcast on CCTV's news series, and it took a full minute. In order not to disturb his work, before leaving, he said, "It's hard for you to think of not being famous this time!", and then closed the door and left.
At this time, his phone rang, and it turned out to be Ivanka.
"Honey, what's the matter?"
"Adon, I and Jad Kuna are divorced, and he was sent to Switzerland by his father, Monsieur Kouna Sr., to recuperate. ”
"That sounds like great news! Why did you get divorced all of a sudden?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time without speaking, Zheng Xudong knew that Ivanka was actually very uncomfortable about his divorce, "The Airbus A380 incident you took when you returned to China some time ago was premeditated by Jad Kuna and his mistress. ”
Zheng Xudong was also shocked when he heard this, he had thought of this before, but he was quickly denied by himself, he always thought that even if Jia Dekuna found out about the "adultery" between him and Ivanka, this rich boy couldn't swallow this breath, and might find some thugs to "repair" him, warn him to stay away from his lover, or at most find a killer to "kill" him, and he would never be crazy enough to take a plane with 500 lives. Hearing Ivanka's words today, he was really shocked, he really didn't expect that people's hatred could reach this point.
"Honey, it's over, I'm not all right! ”
"I've always felt a little sorry for you, and I've taken such a big risk, but fortunately you're okay, otherwise I won't forgive myself for the rest of my life. As she spoke, Ivanka sobbed on the other end of the phone.
Zheng Xudong comforted her on the phone for a long time before she untied the knot in her heart.
"And one more thing, and that's that next weekend, there's a high-end private party that you might want to visit. Let me introduce you to some of the celebrities of American high society. Ivanka said after stabilizing her mood.
"Is it important? Must go?" Zheng Xudong really doesn't want to go to the United States secretly now, so he can push the things in the United States now.
"Yes, this gathering was initiated by the wife of Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation, who is from China and whose name is Wendi Deng, and she invited a lot of big names in the entertainment industry and some politicians in the Senate and House of Representatives on Capitol Hill. So I thought you'd better get acquainted. ”
Hearing Ivanka on the phone say that he took it so seriously, Zheng Xudong knew that it seemed that he had to go, so he said on the phone: "Okay, dear, I will definitely go then." ”
"Remember, it's August 7 at 7 p.m. in New York, so you'd better come early so I can dress you for your attendance. ”
"Okay, I'll try to come to you a day early, meet you, and then go to the party together, by the way, we will attend together and you won't be said by others, right?"
"Of course not, I also had my social freedom before the divorce, and now that I'm divorced now, I'm free, who cares about me!" said the female president very domineeringly.
The two complained to each other about the pain of lovesickness after parting, and hung up the phone. Then Zheng Xudong continued to sort out the new song he was going to release, this time he planned to release the song "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", this song was written and sung by Bruno Mars, this name may not be familiar to everyone, but to mention his nickname, it is like thunder - Brother Mars. This Martian song is not ordinary, it has won awards at the Grammy Awards for 7 consecutive years, this is simply a rebellious character, no one has ever won so many awards at the Grammys in a row like him.
Just as he was writing the lyrics and composing the music, the phone rang again. An unfamiliar phone number came in, and the area code for the switch was +47, where was that? He picked up the phone and asked in English, "Hello! Who are you?"
"Are you Mr. Anton?" a somewhat hoarse and sexy voice came from the other side of the phone, but the English was a little lame.
Zheng Xudong didn't expect the woman on the other side of the phone to call him by his stage name directly, "I'm Anton, may I ask if you are... ”
"I'm Iselin Solheim. ”
Zheng Xudong remembered that this is the Norwegian female singer who sang his "FADED", then this +47 should be the area code of Norway's IDD, "Hi! Hello, Solheim, I really didn't expect you to call, which surprised me." ”
Solheim on the other side of the phone was obviously happy to hear that he could think of her, and said: "This is the phone number I asked for from Gustna, and this call is to thank you for letting me sing such a beautiful song, it really surprised me, we don't know each other after all." In addition to saying thank you on the phone, I also want to thank you in person, but your country is too far away. ”
"I'm going to New York next weekend, and if you have time, you can meet me there, but if you come to thank you, you don't have to, I've already received your thanks. Zheng Xudong happened to be worried about what song to release, just when she called, he remembered that Alan Walker also had a single sung by her, and it was very famous, called "ALONE", if she went to New York this time, he wouldn't mind giving her this song as well, as for whether she went or not, it would be up to her.
I heard the phone call, "Really, great, I'll go to see you in New York, I saw your news on the Internet, you're so handsome, you're so talented, I'm going to go." That's the time to call you, right?"
"Yes, just make that call. Zheng Xudong said.
"See you on the weekend!" he hung up on the other side of the phone.
Now that he thought of the song "ALONE", he opened the time lock and looked at its results, this song is his third single released by Alan Walker in December 2016, although it did not rank first on the electronic music chart, but this music video is there. YOUTUBE HAS 410 MILLION VIEWS, WHICH IS A NUMBER OF VIEWS THAT MANY SONGS CAN'T REACH, BUT THIS IS SUCH AN ELECTRONIC SINGLE.
JUST TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY TODAY, HE MADE A DEMO OF THIS SINGLE (SAMPLE, CALLED A SAMPLE IN THE MUSIC CIRCLE) AND SENT IT TO GUST, SO THAT HE COULD FIND A PROFESSIONAL TO MAKE IT IN THE UNITED STATES FIRST, PLUS HIS SONG "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE".
Picking up the plate where the apples were placed, he took the lyrics of the two songs he had written and walked towards the special workshop on the third floor of his villa.
When I passed by the bedroom, I saw Yifei reading his novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Go listen to the new song I wrote?"
"There's a new song again, great, I'm coming. As he spoke, he threw the novel on the bed and ran over in cartoon slippers.
"You go get a camera and come to the studio, I'll be waiting for you there. With that, Zheng Xudong went upstairs to tune the piano first.
Liu Yifei took out the JVC high-definition home camera from the bedside table, and thought that there was a video of the two of them doing embarrassing things, and her face turned red.
"Scoundrel, see if I don't clean him up tonight. "I picked up the camera and walked to the studio on the third floor.
