Chapter 156: Lack of Life

At more than 5 o'clock in the morning, Su Muying woke up from her sleep, and after a simple wash, she ran to the president's office on the second floor. It was empty, the messy manuscript paper was still stacked there, and the tea in the glass had turned crimson.

Su Muying put away the manuscript paper neatly and poured out the tea again. Looking at the neat appearance on the desk, Su Muying nodded with satisfaction. Then she walked out of the office and just caught up with Zhang Liangying, who was about to leave. The two looked at each other and smiled, and began their morning exercise of the day.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Yuan woke up on time. Remembering last night's events, he smiled widely.

One song "Sk8erBoi" and one song "AnythingButOrdinary" prove Chen Yuan's strength and confirm his identity as the original author. Despite his lame spoken English, Avril had come to believe in this eccentric fellow.

Chen Yuan initially won Avril's trust and favor, and the next thing was much easier.

At the food stall on the corner of the street, Chen Yuan and Avril sat opposite each other.

Chen Yuan asked for a wonton and a meat bun. Avril was more interested in the smooth old tofu, she added a tea egg, and ate it with two corners.

Chen Yuan said frankly: "The ultimate goal of the Super Girl National Draft is to tap a group of civilian idols and build them into international superstars. I've heard about your deeds, and I think you're a girl with a lot of potential, definitely the potential to become an international superstar, so I'd like to invite you to participate in this national draft. ”

Avril finally got rid of the tea eggs in the bowl, and she looked up. casually asked, "Is this super girl really that powerful?" ”

"We have sent invitations to 42 countries and regions. With these 42 countries and regions as sub-divisions, auditions, re-selections, top 100 competitions, top 36 competitions, top 8 competitions, and finals will be held. After the regional finals, one of the top eight players. They will participate in the finals and finally determine the champions, runners-up and runners-up of the finals. Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Avril nodded and said, "Just because it's a world-class event, is it so powerful?" However, I have never heard of such a big event in China before, so why do you think it will be successful? How many of the 42 countries and regions you mentioned agreed to participate in this event? ”

"At the moment, we have just sent out an invitation and have not yet received a response." Chen Yuan said. "The Super Girl registration and audition will be held from January to March next year. We have plenty of time to prepare for this event. Tsing Entertainment will do its best to ensure the success of this event. ”

Avril Lavigne said casually while eating old tofu: "Actually. I don't care about any of these things you said. I'm concerned about the fact that you promised to help me release an album last night. You're serious, right? ”

"Of course, of course I'm serious. However, Chen Yuan changed the topic. And he said, "But." That will be after next year's Super Girl is over. If you can get the top three, I'll do my best to create a classic record for you! ”

Avril raised her head suddenly, she blinked her big blue eyes, and asked curiously, "Why are you so confident in me?" ”

"You have to believe in my vision," Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said again, "I have always been very accurate in looking at people. I've just heard about you before, and I feel that your future is limitless. Since I saw you in person yesterday. This feeling is even stronger. Avril Lavigne, you're going to be an international superstar! ”

Listen to Chen Yuan praise himself in that broken English. Avril snorted and laughed. In fact, she never thought that she would become a so-called "international superstar" one day, she just loved singing and wanted to sing. She knew that she was different, but she didn't expect Chen Yuan to give herself such a high evaluation.

After breakfast, Avril followed Chen Yuan back to the company. She practiced the two singles she had just gotten in the studio and tried to refine and refine them.

Avril did not leave directly, but chose to stay. This made Duan Kun, Sun Li and others very curious, what method did Chen Yuan use to successfully persuade the other party?

After sending Avril to the recording studio, Chen Yuan came to the balcony on the east side of the second floor of the company, and he knew that Su Muying would usually practice speaking at this time and place. Sure enough, he saw the figure of the other party here.

Seeing Chen Yuan's smiling eyes, Su Muying couldn't help asking, "That Avril agreed to stay?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Avril is only staying temporarily, she will still go back." In that place, she will be of greater use. By the way, Avril said that in the early hours of last night, she suddenly heard a mess of footsteps. You can't make it, right? ”

Su Muying grinned, she took Chen Yuan's hand and said: "Last night, I found out that you were so late but you hadn't slept yet, and you were still writing lyrics in the office, I felt sorry for you, and I couldn't be angry with Avril, so when I passed by her room, I made the footsteps a little louder." What's wrong? She wouldn't be scared, would she? ”

"That's not true," Chen Yuan touched Su Muying's little head and said with a smile, "It's thanks to you." If it weren't for your footsteps, Avril might not have walked down, and she wouldn't have seen me staying up all night creating. In that case, the effect of the two songs will be greatly reduced. Maybe she'll suspect me of having someone ghostwriter. Hehe......"

It turned out that this was the case, Su Muying was happy in her heart, she inadvertently helped Chen Yuan to keep Avril. It was definitely a surprise for her. She always wanted to help Chen Yuan do something, and now she finally did it.

Most of the company's affairs have been put on track, except for the plan to rent a bookstore. Chen Yuan really couldn't find a suitable candidate. He often struggled with it. There are a lot of people interviewed every day in the company, but this is the only thing missing.

The two films that the company plans to shoot in the second half of the year have recently made new progress.

After intense and sufficient preparations, Ning Hao led the crew to hold a grand opening ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Xiamen on the morning of October 20. The main creators Ning Hao, Lu Chuan, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and others were all present. Xu Zheng, who has finished filming "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", also joined the crew. He will play the role of Daesung. Other actors such as Jiukong, Rong Xiang, Wang Shuangbao, Bado, Gao Jie, Wang Xun, etc., were selected from more than 10,000 actor materials.

In order to select these actors, Lu Chuan, as the assistant director, has put a lot of effort into it.

Ning Hao's request. First of all, don't be handsome guys and beautiful women, but look like "special" actors with personality and creativity; the second is to be able to act or have the potential to act; The third is that the main character must be able to speak a dialect, and the secondary character must be able to speak Hokkien Mandarin. These three seemingly simple requirements are definitely a big problem for Lu Chuan.

Fortunately, now that the preliminary work has been successfully completed, the next step is to enter the intense shooting work. And before that, with Chen Yuan's consent. The crew of "Crazy Racing" held a kick-off ceremony.

At present, "Crazy Stone" is still being released in major theaters, and "Crazy Racing", as its sister chapter, has naturally attracted much attention. At the opening ceremony, nearly 80 media reporters were present. These media reporters were very enthusiastic. One tricky question after another was raised. Ning Hao and others said that those Jiukong, Rong Xiang and others who had no experience in dealing with media reporters sold themselves in a few words.

Ning Hao could only smile bitterly at this. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Chen Yuan taught him with vivid and realistic examples. The importance of making good use of media opinion. "Crazy Racing" has "Crazy Stone" as a foreshadowing, and it is normal for it to be popular before it is released. But if there are media reporters who add a few more fires, then this movie will definitely get hotter and hotter, which is a great thing for the crew and the company!

On the second day of the launch conference of "Crazy Racing", the crew led by Zheng Baorui also held a grand launch conference at the Fuchunjiang Hotel in Kyoto on the morning of October 21. Zheng Baorui, Wu Ershan, Li Bing, Huang Xiaoming, Gao Hu, He Qiu and others stood on the stage and were interviewed by dozens of media reporters below.

"Midnight Taxi" is about the North Drift writers Xu Zi (played by Huang Xiaoming) and Lin Zhen (played by Li Bing) are a couple. Xu Zi had no income because the novel was rejected. So I went to look for a job with a classmate who worked as a manager in a taxi company, and I chose a taxi that had accidents with multiple taxi drivers. and got acquainted with Guo Zi (Gao Hu), an old taxi driver.

Xu Zi only worked the day shift, but found that there was always an extra 200 kilometers of mileage the next morning. He suspected that someone was secretly pulling alive with his car at night and decided to catch the man. The result was several times without results. Xu Zi went to the taxi company to inquire and got the information of the driver of the car who had been involved in accidents before, but still found nothing.

Guo Zi was confiscated because he couldn't pay the money, and borrowed a car from Xu Zi at night to work, but died unexpectedly. Xu Zi decided to take his own taxi to find out the truth, and after a few attempts, he became acquainted with the night shift driver (ghost) Lao Xie, who said that he thought he was not dead, Xu Zi told Lao Xie that he was dead, and Lao Xie disappeared.

Xu Zi decided to take care of Lao Xie's wife who suffered from brain tumors and his daughter, who suffered from depression. But from Lao Xie's daughter, she learned that no one else could see Lin Zhen. After returning home, Xu Zi could no longer find Lin Zhen. He learned the truth from the newspaper on the wall, and it turned out that Lin Zhen was raped and killed a year ago.

At the end of the movie, the novel "Midnight Taxi" was written by Xu Zi and became a big hit, and a woman named Lin Zhen (played by Li Bing) asked Xu Zi for an autograph, and then got into a taxi driven by Guo Zi and left.

This movie is defined as a romance horror film, and as the name suggests, it is a combination of romance and horror films.

The first three movies filmed by Qingyun Entertainment, "Nightclub", "Crazy Stone", and "Crazy Racing" all belong to comedies. Comedy is always one of the most popular genres. Qingyun Entertainment also won a good start with the previous two comedies, but now it suddenly took out a romantic horror film to shoot? This aroused strong interest among the journalists attending the meeting.

Zheng Baorui was very excited, this is the first time he has officially served as the director of a film, rather than an assistant director like before. For the filming of the romantic horror film "Midnight Taxi", he will have a greater say.

He is already eager to make this film well to prove his ability, so that he hopes to be like Guan Hu and Ning Hao, from a small director who is not in the stream, to one of the well-known directors in China.

His excitement was shown on his face, which naturally attracted the attention of media reporters. Media reporters kept asking him all kinds of tricky questions. Zheng Baorui did not refuse. During the entire press conference, he answered the most questions, even far more than the sum of Wu Ershan, Li Bing and others.

The next day. The launch press conference of "Midnight Taxi" appeared in the newspaper.

Qingyun Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd., Chen Yuan held the new issue of Yangcheng Evening News, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. This Zheng Baorui doesn't care about his image at all. The questions answered were gibble and undisciplined.

Zheng Baorui still needs to be honed, and in the face of media reporters, he doesn't know how to be restrained. This will have a very bad impact on the outside world, and this bad impact will be directly related to the company's reputation. Ye Yun said seriously, "That Urshan's performance is quite remarkable. Why don't we switch the roles of the two people? ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "Changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers. Besides, a director has a directorial style. Zheng Baorui has a strong ability to tell horror stories, and I believe he can tell this story well. ”

Ye Yun saw that Chen Yuan insisted. And I won't say anything more. If it weren't for her impression of Zheng Baorui, it would be really bad. Maybe she wouldn't have said anything before.

Now that Li Bing has joined Zheng Baorui's crew, Ye Yun is the only one left in the company, and her work has become unprecedentedly heavy. The affairs that were originally shared with Li Bing are now all pressed on her.

Suddenly, Ye Yun thought of one more thing, and she said to Chen Yuan: "Chen Xiaojuan has returned to Taiwan and accepted Zhang Shaohan's training task. Yesterday she made a phone call and said that a good seedling had been dug up in Hsinchu, Taipei. ”

Oh? Chen Yuan suddenly became interested. He asked, "What good seedling?" ”

Chen Xiaojuan introduced that her name is Wang Junru and she graduated from Taipei Huagang Art School. He is 18 years old. The talent for singing is very good, and it is suitable for the cute route. The only drawback may be that the mouth is a bit big......" Ye Yun said.

After Chen Yuan heard this, his heart moved, isn't Wang Junru Wang Xinling? Wang Junru should be her real name, and Wang Xinling is the name she changed after entering the entertainment industry. No wonder Mei Jiu couldn't find her when she traveled all over Hsinchu County. It's all the wrong names, how can you find them?

Ye Yun said again: "When the shift changes next week, Chen Xiaojuan will bring the girl named Wang Junru to the company. By the way, I recently contacted a classmate from university, and there is a student who is studying management abroad and is interested in the plan to rent a bookstore. But she hasn't graduated yet......"

"The plan to rent a bookstore can't wait," Chen Yuan thought about it seriously and said, "If this classmate of yours is really interested in this plan, let him come back and talk about it." If that doesn't work, we'll have to hire someone else. At worst, I'll take care of it. The bookstore rental program really can't be put off any longer! ”

The age of the Internet is coming, and renting bookstores will soon be replaced by fiction websites. If the plan to rent a bookstore is put on hold for a year or two, there is no need to implement it. It is based on this consideration that Chen Yuan feels that time is pressing. In his plan, the bookstore will be seamlessly linked to the novel website. In order to cultivate a large number of genuine readers, prosperous domestic genuine cultural market!

It was a bit thankless, but Chen Yuan didn't care. He had already devised a huge plan, and to realize that plan, it was necessary to have an active and thriving entertainment and cultural market as the foundation. At present, the domestic entertainment and cultural market does not have this.

After finishing the morning's work, Chen Yuan came to the recording studio. He beckoned to Huang Yunling, Huang Yunling asked Su Muying and the two to continue practicing, and she came to Chen Yuan's side.

Chen Yuan asked Huang Yunling about Su Muying's situation.

Huang Yunling said: "Since Zhang Liangying joined, Mu Ying's enthusiasm for learning has been greatly improved. She worked harder than ever, using almost all the time she could. She was the hardest student I've ever met. But to be honest, I don't think that's a good thing. ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuan asked.

"The way of civil and martial arts, one by one. Su Muying is still a child, so she shouldn't have stretched herself so tightly. Huang Yunling said, "The basic skills I taught them are all necessary for singers." But it doesn't mean that if you master these basic skills, you can become a second-tier or first-tier singer. Mu Ying worked hard to learn these basic skills, although she could lay a solid foundation, but it was very detrimental to her whole growth. ”

"Teacher Huang means to ask Mu Ying to pay attention to rest?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Rest is only one aspect," Huang Yunling said, "mechanical learning and training can only cultivate second-tier singers and first-line groups, but it can't train them to a higher level!" Singers can't do without life, because only life can give people the fullest feelings. She needs a richer life. ”

Now, Chen Yuan finally understood. Huang Yunling went back to continue teaching. Chen Yuan stood in place and thought seriously.

He found that it was far from easy to train a person to become a superstar. He once used Korean trainees to give Su Muying an example, but from the Korean trainees, how can there be any super first-line singers? First-line singers are rare!

Su Muying does lack life, and she also lacks some feelings. After all, she was too young. If she is allowed to train like this, maybe she will eventually become a skilled singer, but she will never reach the level she wants.

What to do? That can only give her life and enrich her experience!

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan made a decision. He stepped forward and beckoned to Su Muying, Zhang Liangying, and Avril Lavigne, who was playing the guitar alone.

Soon, all three of them came over.

Chen Yuan said: "Tomorrow is the weekend, everyone should be tired from studying for so long. I've decided to give you a day off, and tomorrow morning, we'll go fishing and have a barbecue together! ”

β€œwhat?” Avril couldn't understand Chinese and her face was full of doubts.

Chen Yuan could only explain again in English: "Tomorrow we will go fishing and barbecue!" ”

Avril cheered. In fact, she hates this kind of boring training session very much. She prefers something new, interesting, and free. Fishing and barbecue are her favorites.

As for Su Muying, her mind had already run to tomorrow's barbecue dinner...... (To be continued.) )
