Listening to Xiao Ning talk about the situation of being inspired to write a song, John was at a loss.

Although before rushing to the Dragon Kingdom, the Red Bull group had learned about Xiao Ning's situation in advance.

But most of the content they know is some videos of Xiao Ning doing extreme sports before.

Like what kind of autumn mountain rappelling, bare hands climbing Jiangcheng Twin Towers and the like.

Although everyone also knows that Xiao Ning's job is actually a singer and an identity as a star artist, they are not clear about the situation that everyone in the Dragon Kingdom music circle now knows that "others write songs by inspiration, and Xiao Ning writes songs by playing with his life".

"Xiao, although I don't know what kind of inspiration you have, I don't think it's a big problem about what you said about wanting to postpone the release of this challenge short film, but about this matter, you should contact Mr. Zou to discuss."

After all, John was just an engineer sent by Red Bull to cooperate with Xiao Ning to complete this challenge, and he had no right to decide the company's affairs.

Because it was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiao Ning pondered calling Zou Yitian the next day to talk about it.

When I just decided about this matter, all the crew members had already gotten off the bus.

Qian Zhen first came up and gave Xiao Ning a big hug: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Xiao!" ”

Then Zheng Xiang and others came over to say something to Xiao Ning, and while congratulating him, Zheng Xiang also made a suggestion to Xiao Ning euphemistically.

"Xiao Ning, let's just say ......"

"If you have any challenges going on in the future, can you tell everyone beforehand?"

"I saw those people at Red Bull before, and I really thought it was just the person you found to cooperate with us in the racing footage!"

As a result, this turned out to be the case...... It's scary! ”

After Xiao Ning readily accepted Zheng Xiang's suggestion, Xie Bin walked over and patted Xiao Ning on the shoulder: "Xiao Xiao, you kid can really pretend!" ”

"How come I've never heard you say anything about it before?"

"Forget it, don't talk about this, you guy ......"

Xie Bin paused for a moment, and then said with emotion: "You are now shouldering the heavy responsibility of thriving the Dragon Kingdom racing world!" ”

These words made Xiao Ning feel uncomfortable.

The Red Bull people just asked him to join the team, and Xie Bin now made it clear that he wanted to make him a professional racing driver.

Then Xiao Ning directly said that he had no idea about this for the time being, and although Xie Bin was slightly disappointed, he felt that it was reasonable.

After all, he had been involved in the events of Qiuming Mountain, the North Ring Road Elevated, and the Jiangcheng Twin Towers before, and after hearing Xiao Ning say that he would not develop in his career, Xie Bin, who seemed to have guessed something, directly pulled Xiao Ning aside and opened his mouth mysteriously.

"Xiao Xiao, you told them that you don't want to be a professional driver because you love music and you have to be your singer, there's no problem, after all, they don't know enough about you."

"But you can't fool me."

"Tell me, you're going to die next time...... Uh, what's pushing the envelope? When are you going to open the whole day? ”

Whether it is a whole work or not, how to live a whole life, Xiao Ning doesn't count what he says now.

Although he is not very resistant to the challenge tasks given by the system now, he really doesn't know where to start if he really wants to take the initiative to do some challenge.

After all, extreme sports cover too many and too many sports.

"It's not clear yet, I'll tell you when I'm ready?"

Hearing Xiao Ning say this, Xie Bin waved his hand again and again: "Don't." ”

Xiao Ning was puzzled: "Huh? ”

"I'm old and my heart is not good, Xiao Xiao, you have to understand your uncle."

At this time, Red Bull's camera team surrounded and said that they wanted to have a brief dialogue and interview with Xiao Ning, and the "long gun and short cannon" set up Xiao Ning.

Although it is a dialogue interview, in fact, the request of Red Bull is just to let Xiao Ning express his thoughts on the successful result of tonight's extreme challenge, and this picture will be placed at the end of the final short film.

Xiao Ning looked at the starry night sky, recalling the mountain breeze that blew all the way down the mountain just now, and his account of the feeling of success in the challenge was very brief.

"I'm glad to be able to take on such a challenge, and I enjoy the feeling of doing things that no one else can, but then again."

"Dangerous driving, don't imitate."

After finishing the two sentences, Xiao Ningbi gestured "OK", and directly showed the Red Bull team and the "Initial D" crew who were watching next to him confused.

Xiao Ning worked hard all the way down the mountain just now.

Normal people don't dare to play games like that......

Who can imitate this?

The next morning, after Xiao Ning called Zou Yitian, vice president of Red Bull Dragon's national headquarters, he agreed to postpone the release of a short video recording Xiao Ning's challenge in Qiu Ying Mountain.

As for Xiao Ning's proposal that he could provide a song as the soundtrack for the short film, Zou Yitian was actually full of shock.

John's group of foreigners were temporarily invited to the Dragon Kingdom from abroad, and they didn't know that Xiao Ning's situation was fine, but Zou Yitian, as the vice president of the region resident in the Dragon Kingdom, had heard about Xiao Ning's hobbies and sources of creative inspiration.

So, Zou Yitian even proposed that if Xiao Ning did this song well, please send him the song first.

Then the phone hung up.

Xiao Ning casually sent "Deja Vu" over.

Zou Yitian, who had just finished answering the phone in the underground parking lot, had just sat in the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz at this time, and found that Xiao Ning had a WeChat message, and he thought that the other party had something to add that he hadn't said on the phone just now.

But after clicking on WeChat, I found that it was an audio file.

No way?

Zou Yitian is not calm.

He had learned about Xiao Ning's situation on the Internet before, and he knew that the other party would always have music-related output after some extreme sports, and he also knew that the other party was quite efficient in making music.

But when he really encountered this situation in person, he still had to smack his tongue.

The challenge he completed in the middle of the night, he had to sleep when he went back, but it turned out that it wasn't even afternoon, and he had all the songs done?

Although he was full of shock in his heart, Zou Yitian still clicked on the audio file while connecting to the car's Bluetooth.

Zou Yitian, who started the car while hanging up the D gear, frowned just after hearing the prelude.

The melody of this song is different from any of Xiao Ning's previous songs, and it is particularly dynamic.

"From the melody part, it is indeed very suitable to be used as the soundtrack for his challenge short film."

"It's ......"

"Wouldn't it be too irritable?"

When he was thinking about this, Zou Yitian had already driven the car out of the underground parking lot.

At the same time, the sound of Berlin in a Mercedes has just entered the first chorus of "Deja Vu".

"Catch the shrimp!"

Zou Yitian frowned, and subconsciously directly pressed the paddle of the steering wheel to downshift, and directly switched the car's D gear to manual mode.

Before I knew it, the engine was dry until four or five thousand turns turned onto the main road, and the song played by the stereo entered the second chorus.

"Catch the shrimp!"

"It's not impossible to be a little irritable!" Zou Yitian silently turned on the sports mode of the Mercedes-Benz.

Half a month has passed.

October 22nd.

During this time, the filming of "Initial D" was still in progress in an intense and orderly manner.

Although Xiao Ning, who played the role of "uncle" in the movie, did not have many scenes, it was not time to shoot the "uncle" scene in the early stage.

But for the sake of the final quality of the film, he still insists on going to the set every day to provide some shooting advice to director Zheng Xiang according to the situation of the original film of "Initial D".

Because the main part of the racing scenes was completed with the cooperation of Xiao Ning and Xie Bin half a month ago, and the rest is the content of the literary drama, so according to the filming schedule, there will be three or five days for "Initial D" to be officially completed.

The literary dramas of several main actors have actually been filmed almost completely, and the filming to be carried out today is about the uncle.

stayed in the crew for half a month, and gave suggestions to the director team for half a month, and now it is finally Xiao Ning's turn to shoot his own scene.

Uncle doesn't have a full shot in the "Initial D" movie, and he doesn't even have a face.

But this character, who doesn't have a few lines in total, is a supporting role that is so important that he can even be called a "soul character".

In order to play the uncle who has a few lines, Xiao Ning has actually put in some effort in the past half a month, frantically watching the corresponding clips of the original film of "Initial D" repeatedly.

After really entering the filming, because he has been watching everyone filming and acting every day these days, Xiao Ning is not nervous.

In the part of the scene where the uncle first appeared at the beginning, he played the uncle in a Mercedes-Benz, driving very steadily, and he was completely in line with the actor of Natsuki Motegi next to him.

I can't say how good he is in these shots, but at least it's above the level.

Then it was the last shot of the uncle with a few lines.

Xiao Ning, who had already figured out the script and this movie to every punctuation mark, even had a flash of inspiration and added some scenes on the spot.

The original content of this part of the play was that Takumi Fujiwara called Natsuki Motegi in a public phone booth, saying that he was looking for her.

Then Natsuki Motegi said that he was at the station and would go back to the countryside for a few days and would be back soon.

After the phone is hung up, the screen cuts directly to the hotel.

At this time, her uncle said a few words to her in the next room-

"Natsuki, I'm glad I had you with me during these two weeks."

"Thank you."

"Did you get enough money last time?"

Then, Natsuki said, "Don't come back to her after tonight."

However, Xiao Ning feels that the performance of the original film seems to be a little too conservative.

So, under the discussion between him and the director team, the play was changed to be more realistic.

Natsuki Motegi answered the phone instead of sitting at the dressing table in the room next to his uncle to the bed in his uncle's room.

And the timing of answering the phone has also been changed from after taking a bath towel on his body to before.

Before Takumi Fujiwara's call to Natsuki Motegi was connected, he added another line to his uncle.

"Natsuki, hold on, uncle is going to speed up."

After such a change was made, the effect was really good.

The already obvious contradictory structure has been further deepened, making it easier for the audience to substitute for that emotion.

The director team thinks it's good.

Xiao Ning thinks it's good.

Natsuki Motegi's actor thinks it's good.

Only Fujiwara Takumi's actor Qian Zhen is eccentric.

It was originally a Minotaur plot!

Why do you want to sublimate this by one level?

It's so green that it's glowing!

When something was not quite right in his heart, Qian Zhen thought about it, and suddenly felt that all this was indeed reasonable.

"I just now!"

"This is definitely completely substituted for Fujiwara Takumi to feel uncomfortable!"

This shows that Senior Brother Xiao's drama has changed very well! Very good! That's why I'm going to get in! ”

"It is worthy of Senior Brother Xiao! It's such a dick to change the drama casually! ”

……

The next few days.

The filming of "Initial D" entered the finishing touches and lasted until October 27, when the film was officially completed.

Due to force majeure reasons such as the weather, "Initial D", which took almost a whole month to film, took a little longer than the crew expected.

But fortunately, the final shooting quality also exceeded the expectations of the director team.

Xiao Ning, who put forward various constructive suggestions, naturally contributed a lot.

After the finale banquet on the day of the finale, "Initial D" was put into the final post-production process.

For post-production, the most difficult part of the film was that the scenes related to the racing required a lot of processing.

But because Xiao Ning and Xie Bin cooperated well enough before, most of the main shots didn't need to be processed at all, and they could be used directly with a little editing, so the post-production parts that originally had a lot of work were actually processed very quickly.

In addition, Xiao Ning promised to pack the soundtrack of the entire movie before the filming started, and indeed threw more than a dozen audio files directly to the director team on the second day of completion, so the work efficiency of the post-production of the film is very high.

But even so, the post-processing of the film still takes ten days.

And for Xiao Ning, the first ten days can be said to be calm, but in the next few days, some things happened that he didn't expect and could be thought about and reasonable.

First of all, on October 31st, the competition for the October list of the Lefu New Talent List officially came to an end.

The final ranking is just like the opening of the rankings.

"All the Way North", "Bicycle", and "Sunset Boulevard" ranked first, second and third respectively.

When Lefu.com celebrated Xiao Ning's achievement with a front-page headline announcement, most of the people in the music department of Hummingbird Entertainment were also beating gongs and drums and smiling.

After all, this month's cutting-edge list competition, they have completely beaten Xuanji Entertainment!

Although Xuanji Entertainment also has three songs in the top ten of the new list of Yuefu in this issue.

But their strongest song in this issue, Xu Minghao's "Just Because", is only ranked sixth!

It's all three songs, but the hummingbird is here because Xiao Ning has won the top one, two, and three!

This kind of high-profile thing is naturally worth celebrating with the people of the Hummingbird Music Department.

However, even if most people are happy, there are still a few people who are not so happy, or not happy at all.

Let's say Sun Ye.

As the head of the music division, he previously promised that if Xiao Ning won the top three on the new list, Hummingbird would give Xiao Ning an extra bonus according to the bonus given by Yuefu.com.

Xiao Ning won the first, second and third places this time, and the bonuses obtained from Lefu.com were 1 million, 500,000, and 300,000 for a total of 1.8 million, and according to the previous promise, Hummingbird also had to give Xiao Ning a bonus of 1.8 million.

Just after learning the final results of the Yuefu New Talent List, Sun Ye, who had this in mind, went to the leader with apprehension.

And the reason why he is apprehensive is also very simple.

Recently, the leader's opinion on Xiao Ning is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and he is worried that he will turn his face and will not approve this thing that the hummingbird promised Xiao Ning a month ago.

Xiao Ning didn't sign an endorsement with Lightning before, and the leader knew about it, after all, Lightning was a hummingbird who was in direct contact at that time.

If the matter with lightning is done, then Xiao Ning is undoubtedly generating income for the hummingbird, but this thing did not work out in the end, and the fundamental reason for the failure of the cooperation is entirely because of Xiao Ning.

After knowing this situation that day, the rich second-generation leader surnamed Lu, who inherited his father's business, was already very angry, and then Sun Ye went up and proposed to give Xiao Ning a salary increase and even change the contract share, so that the hummingbird not only did not earn Xiao Ning's money, but also had to coax Xiao Ning, so the leader surnamed Lu was directly angry on the spot and drove Sun Ye out of the office.

In addition to this incident, Xiao Ning's recent filming with Qian Zhen is also known to the leader surnamed Lu.

However, Hummingbird only signed a music artist agency contract with Xiao Ning, so he can't control whether he makes movies or anything.

Originally, Xiao Ning deliberately messed up the endorsement before, and it was even very likely that he had reached some private cooperation with Red Bull of Austria, which had already made the leader surnamed Lu very dissatisfied with Xiao Ning, an artist, and now he even went out to film by himself, so he never considered cooperating with the Hummingbird Film and Television Department.

Therefore, the leader surnamed Lu has actually reached the peak of Xiao Ning's disdain, because he found that Xiao Ning, an artist, is now gradually getting out of the control of the hummingbird.

Although Xiao Ning's recent songs have indeed brought a lot of income to the hummingbird, this person ......

He's disobedient!

Disobedient artists, the leader surnamed Lu really didn't intend to give the other party a good look.

A few days ago, he had casually asked everyone about Xiao Ning's handling opinions at a regular meeting.

There are indeed fools at the top of Hummingbird, but there are still many normal people, otherwise the company would not be able to maintain its position in the industry during the old land period.

When most of the leaders unexpectedly unanimously expressed similar thoughts to Sun Ye, pondering to use various interests, resources, and even hummingbirds to work for nothing to keep Xiao Ning behind the hummingbirds.

The leader surnamed Lu directly dropped the teacup.

Not to mention that Xiao Ning is still just an artist who has no status in the music world and has just become famous.

Even if Xiao Ning is really a first-line star.

With the size of a hummingbird, that's really nothing.

As the current head of Hummingbird Entertainment and the boss in the real sense, he can't tolerate the existence of such an artist who doesn't take the company in his eyes and doesn't listen to him when he just takes the momentum.

Therefore, after Sun Ye, who had just learned the results of the new list, came to the door nervously and asked about the "bonus", even if the leader surnamed Lu did agree to this matter when Sun Ye reported last month, this time he directly said that he had "amnesia" and did not sign at all.

In the chairman's office at this time.

The leader surnamed Lu is getting angry.

"Sun Ye! As the head of the music department, you have the responsibility and obligation to manage the people in your music department! ”

"This Xiao Ning, he doesn't take the company seriously at all now, you know?"

"It's not good to make music all day long, clean up those sensational things, and be on the hot search every three or five times! Do you know what we hummingbirds do in the eyes of some people? It's not an entertainment company engaged in music, film and television! It's a special sports company! It's a special climbing company! ”

"A few days ago, there was even a special developer who repaired high-rise buildings contacted our business people, saying that they wanted to find Xiao Ning to climb their new real estate and hype up their new building!"

"It's all thanks to Xiao Ning!"

Although Sun Ye could hear that the leader surnamed Lu was very angry, he still added: "Dong Lu, should I say it or not, Xiao Ning has released more new songs in the past two months than other artists in a year, and the results are ...... On the major charts, Xiao Ning's songs are all unshakable existences, you say nothing else, you say that he didn't do music well, this is inevitably biased, right? ”

Lu Dong directly threw a teacup in front of Sun Ye: "Biased? Do you think such an artist is conscientious? Is his presence a good thing for us hummingbirds? ”

"Then let's not talk about the negative impact he brought to our hummingbirds, let's talk about the rest, let's just talk about the exclusive endorsement with Lightning a month ago, people rushed to the door to send money, and he refused it."

"This month, Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen went outside to make a movie, and he didn't pay attention to the endorsement and business arranged by the company, and he didn't see all the things that the company conveyed to him."

"Such an artist, what is the use of him to us hummingbirds? What is the value of us cultivating him? ”

Sun Ye pursed his lips, glanced at the crumbs of the teacup on the ground, and said embarrassedly: "I understand everything, Lu Dong." ”

"But not to mention the rest, Xiao Ning alone accounts for 20% of the online payment income of our music division this month, although online payment is not the main source of revenue for our music department at present, but through this ratio, we can also know how high the quality of Xiao Ning's songs is and how high his potential value is."

"You have to say he's worthless, isn't that authentic?"

When Lu Dong heard these words, he snorted coldly, and then said, "You are going to give him money?" Don't ask me. ”

"Okay, I still have something to do, I'll talk about this Xiao Ning matter later, what should you do."

Hearing these words, the humble gesture of a migrant worker licking the dog that Sun Ye had been making suddenly disappeared.

His brow twitched, then his facial muscles twitched.

He struggled to control his emotions, and soon his expression returned to normal.

He slowly turned towards the door of the chairman's office.

Two syllables sounded softly in the office.

“S。”

“B。”

Sun Ye walked out as he spoke, and Lu Dong's angry voice came from behind him.

"The surname is Sun! Stop! What did you just say? Don't think I didn't hear it! I already knew! I heard someone say a few days ago that you have a private opinion about me! Scolding in private is over! Now you dare to put it on the bright side? Do you still want to do it? ”

"The surname is Sun! Do you have the ability to scold again? ”

Sun Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he, who was a stone's throw away from the office door, slowly turned around, with a look on his face that seemed to be looking at a neuropathy.

"I've never heard such a bizarre request."

"Lu Jianming!"

"You're a fool, aren't you?"

"You bully and bully others, engage in those female celebrities, and play all kinds of messy unspoken rules."

"You don't think I'm going to be able to get along without the hummingbird, do you? Threaten me? ”

"When Lao Lu was here, I had the final say in this music department!"

"You don't think I'm going to have a hard time if I'm not working with you hummingbird, right?"

"Lao Tzu stayed in the hummingbird, it was to give Lao Lu face, and to remember that Lao Lu appreciated my love back then!"

"You loser, sooner or later, you will give Huo Huo Huo Lao Lu's hard work!"

"Didn't you want me to scold you?"

"Then I'll scold one more time."

"Stupid thing!"

The atmosphere in the office was instantly dead silent after Sun Ye slammed the door and walked out.

After a long time, a series of sounds of glass and porcelain shattering sounded.
