Chapter 47: Yongchun Teahouse

Zhang Xueyou, who debuted in the mid-80s, became popular all over the country with a song "Kiss Goodbye" in 93 years, with countless cover singers, and was promoted all the way to a seven-star singer. Since then, the album has been a big hit, and it has won the world's best-selling Asian pop singer award for two consecutive years.

In '97, he participated in the planning, directing and starring of the original musical "Snow Wolf Lake" in Hong Kong for 42 consecutive performances, and the venue was full of people and received rave reviews.

Zhang Xueyou is good at a variety of music styles, such as R&B music style, jazz, etc. According to statistics, as of 2000, Zhang Xueyou's global sales of genuine records have exceeded 60 million copies, and the online version sales have reached 300 million yuan, laying the foundation for his status as a nine-star singer in one fell swoop, becoming the most famous singer in Xiangjiang.

In terms of film and television, Zhang Xueyou won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 8th Xiangjiang Film Awards for "Mong Kok Carmen" filmed in 89. This award seems to have opened the glory of his acting career, and in the following years, Zhang Xueyou's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "East Becomes West" have reached hundreds of millions of yuan at the total box office in the mainland.

You must know that this is a box office of hundreds of millions of yuan generated in the general sluggish environment of the domestic film industry!

This is an artist who can sing and act at the same time!

But what Zhang Heng admires the most is that this singer has been enthusiastic about public welfare and charity since his debut, and has also held many long public welfare concerts, and in 98 years, he was elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang, and last year he was directly selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in the world by the international media!

Such a flawless-looking superstar, such an all-round artist with a net worth of billions, would want to participate in his own movie?

Delusion, it must be an illusion!

"You're not kidding?" Zhang Heng couldn't believe his eyes.

"I'm not joking about this kind of thing, making fun of the king of heaven, do I still want to mix in the entertainment industry?" Ye Hui teased.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, his face couldn't contain the excitement.

At the beginning of writing the script of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", Zhang Heng did not consider hiring sixth-level actors or even seventh-level actors, but Zhang Heng knew that many big-name actors with seniority would never attach too much importance to the works of a rookie director. No matter how good the script is, if a third-rate director shoots it, the success rate and failure rate are not proportional, and the effect after production will inevitably be unrecognizable.

Zhang Heng is self-aware, so he didn't plan to hire high-level actors from the beginning, but now he was suddenly told the news that Zhang Xueyou joined with zero pay, how could this unexpected joy not make Zhang Heng excited?

But excitement is excitement, Zhang Heng deeply knows that there is absolutely no free lunch in this world, there is no binding of interests, and any cooperation is nonsense.

"What does he want?"

Zhang Heng thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the three words "Zhang Xueyou" and asked.

"You promised?"

Ye Hui sent an expected expression: "Of course there are requirements, but in my opinion, the conditions proposed by this Heavenly King are very simple......"

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the other party's next step.

"Writing him a song like "Kiss Goodbye" that makes him popular can make him go from nine stars that he has stopped for nearly five years to add another star, move towards the title of real god of songs, and let him step into the international stage!"

"As long as you can do it, he will definitely participate in your movie with zero pay!"

Looking at Ye Hui's answer, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this still simple?

The singer star system of KK Music Network has divided the singers of the entire music world into three, six, nine and so on.

The entertainment industry in China has always been weak on the world platform, and the highest-level singers are only nine stars, while superstars such as Michael Jackson of the United States, Celine Dion or Pava Rorti of Italy, these international superstars, have already entered the ten-star stage.

It's not that Zhang Xueyou attaches too much importance to fame and fortune. Everyone knows that the only way to reflect the star system of KK Music Network is sales, even if Zhang Xueyou consumes all his assets, it is a drop in the bucket, and it does not have much impact on the promotion of star stars. After all, at this stage from nine stars to ten stars, the sales figures of songs are calculated in billions, and the online sales volume of songs in a month does not reach one billion or even more, and all the qiē is a moon in the water.

Writing a song that can sell a billion, Zhang Heng feels that this is crazy and even impossible to achieve.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Heng had to admire.

This is probably Zhang Xueyou's character, whether it is in the past life or in this life, the reason why Zhang Xueyou is Zhang Xueyou is all because of his love for music, otherwise, he would not be called the "God of Song"!

would rather accept a bad movie, destroy the hard-won acting reputation, and want to go further in the music career, such a move, I am afraid that only this singer dares to be so crazy.

But how could this god of song have so much faith in himself?

Looking at Zhang Xueyou's private contact information sent by Ye Hui on the KK, Zhang Heng's eyes flickered.

With only his four songs that have sold tens of millions of yuan on the Internet, no matter how you look at it, it seems that they are not enough to support the birth of songs with a sales volume of one billion.

……

Two days later, Zhang Heng came alone to a teahouse called Yongchun.

The setting is very quaint and the surroundings are quiet.

There is a small single courtyard outside the teahouse, which is arranged with rockeries and fountains, and in the middle is a sheep intestine path paved with bluestone slabs.

Dead leaves in late autumn are rare here, and they are obviously cleaned frequently.

Yongchun Teahouse is located on the outskirts of Yanhai, which is not well-known in the entire Yanhai, but it is widely circulated in the circle of entertainers.

It is said that the owner of the teahouse is a veteran actor who has won the Xiangjiang Academy Award, named Zhou Yongchun, who quit the showbiz 20 years ago, and runs such a teahouse to entertain himself, occasionally meeting three or five friends in the circle, drinking tea and playing chess, and chatting.

Friends came and went, and gradually got used to it, and over time, Yongchun Teahouse also became famous, and with the retirement of time, it gradually became a place for some actors and stars to meet and chat in private.

The tea leaves in Tegong here are the Maojian of the Central Plains, and the price is not very expensive, but when you get used to drinking it, you can always taste a kind of quiet and far-reaching timelessness in the taste.

There is a large living room in the teahouse, there are no tables and stools, only a coffee table, a thin futon on the floor, there is occasionally some quaint music with a sense of age, and there are many spacious wooden wings around it, which provides convenience for some guests who like to be quiet or have important periods to discuss.

When Zhang Heng came here, there were already four or five figures sitting on the ground in the hall, they looked at each other and laughed and talked, occasionally put on the chessboard, talked about two or three sons, and applauded the chess game from time to time.

And at the window of the teahouse, a girl with black hair scattered over her shoulders was sitting cross-legged on a futon, quietly looking at the book in her hand.

When I occasionally lowered my head, the sunlight outside the window reflected the eyelids through the fine hair on the girl's forehead, which was beautiful, and the whole delicate little face was like a human dream for a moment.

Zhang Heng found this unique girl after he came in, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Thick and slender eyelashes, a very clever nose, transparent and fair skin like mutton fat, light red cherry lips, a casual dark sea denim jacket, with a pair of black slim pants, plus a pair of silver running shoes, the whole person is light and reveals youthful vitality, which looks extremely eye-catching.

Coupled with Jingyi's reading state at this time, the girl's movements and stillness are combined, which causes a huge sense of conflict, making people feel as if they are in a stormy sea.

Even if Zhang Heng is a human being in his two lives and has seen many bewitching or pure women, he can't help but secretly marvel at the girl's temperament.

Sins and sins, it is a disaster for the country and the people!

While Zhang Heng sighed, he vaguely revealed a sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Strange!" Zhang Heng shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and walked into the third box of the teahouse.

When Zhang Heng entered the box, the figure disappeared into the hall, and several figures in the hall who were talking and laughing in a low voice stopped their movements in unison.

The air was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were on the girl reading a book at the window.

The girl flipped the page and shook her head slightly.

So the hall was full of hustle and bustle.
