49 Chapter 49
No one expected that Zheng Yihong's first sentence would be this, An knew that he had been unable to react to the successive accidents, but Shen Yanru was slightly stunned and then said, "Thank you Director Zheng for your attention, but what does it mean to shoot advertisements?" β
"You know me?" Zheng Yihong immediately became vigilant.
Although he is a very pure artist, he is devoted to his shooting career. But this doesn't mean that he is a nerd, in fact, because he has traveled too many places and read β‘β‘ stories, Zheng Yihong is actually very sophisticated.
So when he heard Shen Yanru call out his identity, he immediately suspected that his home's address had been leaked, attracting people to come and surround him.
Thinking about it like this, he naturally had a little vigilance about the appearance of Shen Yanru and An. The slightly eager expression on his face was put away, and he looked very polite, obviously without a reasonable explanation, this level could not be passed.
"I've seen Director Zheng's film, and it's very shocking." Shen Yanru said calmly, and after finishing speaking, he also introduced himself, "My name is Shen Yanru, and I am a music producer. This is An Zhizhi, she is a singer who has just debuted. β
Zheng Yihong did not let his guard down because of this, but continued to ask, "I don't know where you got the news?" β
His question was vague, which can be understood as where to get the news that he was going to shoot an advertisement, or where to get the news that his home is here, depending on how to understand it. And Zheng Yihong was obviously deliberately vague and tentative.
Shen Yanru replied without leaking, "Director Zheng misunderstood. I just came here to find inspiration, but I didn't expect to meet Director Zheng, it's really fate. β
This is a reasonable explanation, although Zheng Yihong may not believe it. However, he also knew that it was not interesting to pursue this kind of matter, so he just said, "I hope you two keep it a secret so that my family will not be disturbed." Thank you very much. β
"It's nature." Shen Yanru nodded. Then he asked, "What did Director Zheng mean by the advertisement just now?" Are you planning to change careers? β
Zheng Yihong stared at her for a while before saying, "Today is not the time to talk about business. If you have this intention, leave your contact information, and we will make another appointment. β
An Zhizhi, who had been excluded from the conversation, immediately took out a business card of Shen Yanru and presented it.
After Zheng Yihong took it, he nodded, and turned to leave. The people who had just been with him had already entered the door of the Zheng family while they were talking, and after he walked in, he closed the door with his hand, blocking the view of the two.
Shen Yanru and An Zhizhi looked at each other, and they didn't even know what to say for a while.
Today's harvest is great, but I always feel that it is completely different from what they thought.
"This ...... Is it a success? An Zhi asked with some uncertainty, and then looked down at the raccoon cat in Shen Yanru's arms, and said incoherently, "I just thought that this cat belonged to Director Zheng's family, and he came to our Xingshi to ask for guilt." β
"Ahem......" Shen Yanru choked when she heard this, "Let's go back first and see if Director Zheng will call to make an appointment." β
"What he just said shouldn't have been perfunctory, right?" An asked with some concern.
Shen Yanru shook his head. It shouldn't be perfunctory, but whether it can be decided to cooperate in the end is not necessarily.
But in any case, it can be said that their initial plan was successful. At least I met Director Zheng, and I made an appointment to meet next time, although the situation was indeed different from what I imagined.
She glanced back at the gate of the Zheng family and asked An, "Did you notice just now that the old man who was surrounded by those people in the middle seemed to be very familiar." β
"It's director Zheng Ming." An Zhizhi said.
Shen Yanru couldn't help but glance at her, "Director Zheng Ming, Director Zheng Yihong, could it be that they are father and son?" β
"Possibly." An nodded knowingly.
Shen Yanru was even more sure that An Zhizhi had already known the news, but she didn't mean to ask, thought about it, and said, "I haven't heard the news that Zheng Yihong is coming to Shanghai before. Just now, I saw someone reaching out to help Director Zheng Ming, and he was also carrying a large bag of things...... You say, could it be that Director Zheng Ming is sick? β
Thinking that director Zheng Ming died of illness a few years later, it is very possible that he is now sick and hospitalized. An Zhi nodded in agreement, "No wonder we waited for so many days and no one was there." β
It seems that Director Zheng Ming should be the only one living here.
An Zhizhi thought for a while and asked Shen Yanru, "I have been discovered by Director Zheng, can we still come over to feed the cat in the future?" β
Although I don't know where An Zhi got the news, Shen Yanru can easily tell that her drunkard does not mean to drink, and nodded with a smile, "Of course you can." After a pause, he added, "It's better to find the owner of the tanuki." β
The cat is weird, looks clean and pretty, and is supposed to be domestic. But he didn't wear a cat badge on his body, and he walked outside every day, and no one seemed to come out to look for him. An knew that she didn't want the owner of the tanuki cat to appear, so she could come over to feed the cat often.
But she also knew that it was impossible.
In fact, if you just want to get a cat, you can buy one or adopt one. But the edge of the eye has never been a clear thing. Ann knew that although no matter what little animals she saw, she would feel very cute and want to take a few more looks, or even touch and play, but this tanuki cat that looked like a spirit felt completely different to her.
It's a partner she can accept.
So even if I know that it already has a master and won't belong to me, I still can't help but like it.
β¦β¦
On the way back, An Zhizhi turned his head to look at Shen Yanru vigorously, as if he wanted to show her that there were many flowers. In the end, Shen Yanru asked a little unbearable, "It always depends on what I do?" β
An Zhizhi said with a smile, "Just now, Director Zheng took a fancy to Sister Zhong at a glance, right?" I suddenly felt that you went to shoot a commercial, and I gave you a soundtrack, which seems to be very good! β
Shen Yanru was also a little helpless when she thought of this, not to mention that after she went behind the scenes, even when she was a singer, Shen Yanru took only a handful of advertisements. She doesn't like this kind of work that has nothing to do with music, and she also has this strength and willfulness, which has become one of her characteristics.
never expected that one day he would be caught by the director, and it was after he retreated into the background.
But Director Zheng chose her between her and An Zhizhi at a glance, and it may be difficult to make him change his mind. If you refuse, it may not be conducive to the job of getting a soundtrack.
However, it seems that it is indeed very good to hear An Zhizhi say this. This is another form of collaboration between the two, and it may also be interesting.
These still need to be fought for by the two of them, but Shen Yanru already feels very satisfied in his heart. Working for the same thing with An Zhizhi turned out to be such a good thing, exactly the same as she imagined.
After returning home, the two began to prepare the materials they were going to bring to Zheng Yihong to see, as well as the questions they might talk about at that time. The opportunity to meet is precious, so they have to solve all the problems at once.
Time is also a kind of cost, Zheng Yihong began to prepare for this matter around September, and it has been more than two months now, but he still hasn't even decided on the protagonist. He won't have much time for them.
Maybe it was because Zheng Yihong was really anxious, so he called Shen Yanru the next day and made an appointment with her for an interview.
As an independent documentary filmmaker, Zheng Yihong is not affiliated with any company, nor does he open a studio like many people in the circle - this is one of the reasons why everyone did not know how to contact him before, although they were interested in it. So his foothold here in Shanghai is home. But apparently that is not the right place to talk about business.
Hearing that Shen Yanru had his own independent studio, Zheng Yihong immediately said that he could come over to talk.
The home team is naturally more dominant, so this second meeting was very smooth and pleasant, and when he sat down to discuss, the expression on Zheng Yihong's face relaxed a lot.
"I don't know what I proposed yesterday, how did Ms. Shen think about it?" Zheng Yihong looked at Shen Yanru and asked.
This little director, who is not good-looking, looks dark because he runs in the sun all the year round, and he can't see the style of a famous director at all, but he has a pair of very sharp eyes, and when he looks at you, you will have a feeling of being seen through.
In front of him, all lies pale and clumsy. Perhaps this is the unique temperament of documentary filmmakers, right?
Shen Yanru only pondered for a moment, and then planned to tell the truth, "Don't hide it from Director Zheng, I used to be a singer, but now I have retreated to the background and engaged in music production. So actually, I want to fight for the soundtrack work of Director Zheng's advertisement. β
Zheng Yihong turned his head to look at An Zhixiao and asked, "Is it your song or hers?" β
"Yes." Shen Yanru smiled, "I haven't released a new work for several years. β
"Sing two lines and listen to it." Zheng Yihong immediately said to An Zhizhi.
An Zhizhi was slightly stunned, they prepared an album of "Four Seasons" for Zheng Yihong to listen to, anyway, the studio is fully equipped. Unexpectedly, he found his own way and let An know about singing live.
But of course, this didn't bother her, and after reacting, she stood up, "Then I'll be ugly." β
Because it was an audition, An knew that he just chose the chorus part with a more beautiful melody and sang a few words, and then stopped.
Zheng Yihong nodded, "The sound condition is good." But I was going to use pure music as the soundtrack, and if you were going to join in, you would have to rewrite the songwriting. Time is not always in time. β
He didn't plan to adopt existing songs, but to tailor the soundtrack to the commercial.
But Shen Yanru didn't give up, "Actually, I also inquired and knew that the reason why Director Zheng made this advertisement was to promote his documentary." So we also dared to make a simple plan here, hoping that Director Zheng could give us some guidance. β
She said and handed the folder at hand to Zheng Yihong and asked him to look through it.
This plan was brainstormed together after knowing that he was going to meet with Zheng Yihong, but the main person in charge was Zhou Yu. She is a planner herself, and it is easy to do this.
Zheng Yihong didn't care much about it, because he already had a lot of ideas for commercials. But when I saw the content, I read it instead.
After reading it, Zheng Yihong raised his head with a smile on his face, "It's a little interesting, and it also fits my theme." You should have some information here, I'll take a copy back and look at it, and think about it. β
"Okay." An Zhi got up and went to get the prepared materials.
Here, Zheng Yihong said to Shen Yanru, "When I saw your real person yesterday, I thought you were very suitable. Later, when I got home, I realized that I had heard your songs. I heard that your songs are all written by you? β
"Yes." Shen Yanru said, "In fact, I know that the songs I sing are also created by me. β
Zheng Yihong nodded and didn't say anything more.
When An Zhi got the information, he got it and left.
An Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what did Director Zheng say again?" β
"Say you've heard my songs." Shen Yanru was also a little puzzled, and didn't quite understand what Zheng Yihong meant.
At this point, all the efforts they can do in this matter have been made, and the next thing is to wait for Zheng Yihong's decision.
On the first day, there were no phone calls.
The next day, there was no phone.
At first, Shen Yanru could still comfort An Xiaoxiao, presumably Director Zheng hadn't made a decision yet, but on the third day, she got up early in the morning and found that there was still no phone, so she couldn't help but wonder if her mobile phone was broken or in arrears, so she deliberately recharged a few hundred yuan, and dialed herself with An Zhixiao's phone, but of course there was no problem.
When she was eating breakfast, she couldn't help but ask An, "It's been too long for me to remember." But even if you refuse, there will be a phone call, right? β
An Zhi nodded, "There will be." β
Shen Yanru couldn't help but glance at his phone again.
An Zhizhi asked her, "Sister, are you nervous?" β
Shen Yanru was stunned for a moment, and then remembered his performance during this time, his heart was impetuous and uneasy, he felt that something was wrong with everything, and it was difficult to concentrate even at work, wasn't he just nervous?
She was even more nervous than when she was nominated for the award and was about to present the award.
However, being pointed out by An Zhi did make Shen Yanru a little uncomfortable.
"This is your first heavyweight announcement, and if you can get it, it will be very good for your future development." She pressed her heart and said to Ann.
Being able to appear on the national stage, even if it is just an advertising film, has an influence that is difficult for other stations to achieve. Moreover, it will also give people the feeling that this artist is "politically correct", and there will be more invisible resources inclined to her side.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get this kind of opportunity at an early stage. So Shen Yanru has been preparing since he knew the news, and wants to win this job for An Zhizhi, but now that it's time to decide life and death, how can he not be nervous?
Although there are so many opportunities in the circle, there is another one without this, An knows that with this kind of talent and talent, sooner or later he will become popular, but it is a pity to miss it.
So how is it possible not to be nervous?
An Zhizhi held the spoon and drank porridge, and raised his eyes from time to time to peek at Shen Yanru.
I don't know why, at this moment, she felt that her face was hot, and she almost didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yanru, so she could only peek out of the corner of her eyes like this, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Even An knew that he didn't know how many times he sighed: How could there be such a good person as Shen Yanru in the world?
Or, how could there be someone like Shen Yan who was so good to her?
Sometimes An Zhi will think, if there is such a person, who understands you, loves you, loves you, takes care of you, puts everything you are in the forefront, is anxious about what you are anxious about, loves what you love, and will always only let you see the best side of the world - there is such a person, whether it is a man or a woman, age, it is difficult not to love her, right?
So I really don't blame her for having thoughts that Shen Yanru shouldn't have.
Shen Yanru has gone through a bigger battle than this, she has even held a world tour, and she is actually nervous because of such a trivial matter, nothing more than herself.
Because I think very seriously of myself in my heart, I don't allow the slightest flaw.
In fact, every time he speculated on Shen Yanru's mind like this, An Zhizhi inevitably felt that he seemed to be too narcissistic. seems to have decided that she is the most important one for Shen Yanru, she will definitely take herself to heart, and all the considerations are for herself.
She didn't really know where she came from.
But Ann knew that none of this was her guess. This kind of unprovoked determination and sense of security is what she feels from Shen Yanru.
Although Shen Yanru had never said such things to her, she rarely expressed her feelings. But from her words and deeds, many clues can still be seen. After all, she's not very good at hiding these things.
So An Zhizhi is like a little hamster hiding in the shadows, quietly collecting this bit by bit, and then piecing together an incomplete truth in his heart.
Ann knew that she had never known that she would be such a timid person.
If it were according to her character, I am afraid that she should have spread out the matter in front of Shen Yanru a long time ago and talked to each other, leaving no room for speculation and uneasiness.
But no.
Maybe it's because it's too good, it's too good...... So I can't give it up at all.
I am reluctant to change a little, I am reluctant to let this beautiful feeling be frightened, I am reluctant to let it change even a little bit.
Because that's all it would be nice to do.
β¦β¦
At noon, Shen Yanru's mobile phone finally rang.
The call was from Zheng Yihong. ββIn order to avoid the oolong of answering the wrong phone, Shen Yanru set a separate ringtone for Zheng Yihong in advance, so that he would not suffer from gains and losses because of every ringing. Because you don't need to see the name, listen to the music to know if it's not.
An knew that he saw all this in his eyes, and the more he came into contact with it, the more he would find that this kind of small habits and actions were completely inconsistent with Shen Yanru's personality. For An Xiaoxiao, exploring such a little secret is also one of the pleasures of her relationship with Shen Yanru.
There is no doubt that Zheng Yihong gave a positive answer. However, there was still a little surprise, because he invited Shen Yanru to participate in the advertising shoot with An Zhizhi, and also agreed to use An Zhizhi's "Four Seasons" as the soundtrack.
Without waiting for Shen Yanru to hang up the phone, An Xiaoxiao could see the result from her expression.
She immediately seized the opportunity to walk in front of Shen Yanru. Sure enough, after Shen Yanru put down the phone, he immediately announced with a little surprise, "It's successful!" β
"Really?!" An Zhizhi immediately showed a surprised expression, and stepped forward and hugged Shen Yanru.
Because he was driven by the happy mood, Shen Yanru didn't feel strange, and hugged An Zhi for a while, and then began to repeat the content on the phone, "Director Zheng not only agreed to use your "Four Seasons" as the soundtrack, but also invited us to participate in the advertising shoot together. β
An Zhi reluctantly let go of his hand, "So, Director Zheng adopted our plan?" β
"I think so." Shen Yanru quickly restrained his expression of surprise. She was very happy about it, but she wasn't really used to being angry. This is due to both character and the result of years of honing in circles.
Emotions are free, which is the most basic professional quality for public figures. After all, you can't be happy every day, but when you face fans, when you participate in a show, or even when you record a song, you can't bring these emotions into it.
So whether it was Shen Yanru or An Zhizhi, they quickly calmed down.
Shen Yanru picked up the phone and called Zhou Yu and Xuan Zihang to report the good news, after all, the two of them also made a lot of efforts in this matter, and they should naturally share the joy if they succeeded.
As for An Zhixiao, he couldn't help but hold his mobile phone and swiped Weibo. She felt sorry that this kind of good news could not be reported, but when she thought that she was about to cooperate with Shen Yanru to shoot an advertisement, An Zhizhi was in a good mood.
This is a collaboration between her and Shen Yanru outside of music, and for An Xiaoxiao, it is like invading the unknown territory that belongs to Shen Yanru, beyond the boundaries they have set for each other.
And this kind of thing of crossing the line, once born and twice cooked, with the first time, there will naturally be five, six, seven or eight times later.
One day, she will flood Shen Yanru's entire world.
