Chapter 53: Promise to write a song
"Okay, I knew you could do it!" Director Zhang said happily, looked at the people who were cheering and dancing, and said, "Are all the people here here?" We're going to have to change places in two days, so don't leave anyone out of the way. ”
“… Oops, my brain. Xiao Xiaodong patted his head lightly, and said with a little annoyance: "Director Zhang, we really missed one, and Qiao Qian was missed, I originally made an appointment with her to visit the Confucius Temple, didn't I be called by you." So she's going to be playing there alone, and I don't know what the situation is now, so I'll ask! As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Qiao Qian.
"Qiao Qian, I'm really sorry, are you planning to come back now? We're going to be busy here... Yes... What did you say? … Chen Mo? Xiao Xiaodong was a little confused.
"I met Chen Mo here, didn't Director Zhang say that he was looking for Chen Mo? Now is an opportunity, so I wondered if I could let Director Zhang and Chen Mo talk on the phone, Chen Mo didn't believe me very much. Qiao Qian said, looking at Chen Mo.
How could Chen Mo believe what she said, she said that she was an actor, and the director was looking for someone to write the theme song, and then she wanted to find herself, how could it be so coincidental.
And Xiao Xiaodong on the other end of the phone was also confused, he worked hard, begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find Chen Mo's phone, but he didn't expect Qiao Qian to meet Chen Mo when he went shopping, and he knew that he would go shopping with him.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Director Zhang and said, "Director Zhang, Qiao Qian said that she met Chen Mo himself while shopping in Confucius Temple, but Chen Mo doesn't believe that you are looking for him to write songs, I don't think she is joking, or you can tell her a few words."
"Bring it, I'll tell her!" Director Zhang put down the wine glass in his hand, stretched out his hand with a little excitement, took Xiao Xiaodong's mobile phone, and said, "Hey, Qiao Hui, you said you met Chen Mo in the Confucius Temple?" ”
"Yes, I'm with him right now, but he doesn't trust me, he won't go with me to see you, you see..."
"Hey, that's not a problem, you drag him now, I'll go find him right away!" Director Zhang said excitedly.
"Good!" Qiao Qian was a little stunned, in her heart, the director was always weird-tempered and a little unkind, but she didn't expect to deign to come to Chen Mo.
Hanging up the phone, Qiao Qian looked at Chen Mo very friendly, and said, "You don't believe me, I'm a little-known actor, but Director Zhang You should know me, right?" "Which Zhang Dao?" Chen Mo asked suspiciously.
"Director Zhang Yimou! He is one of the most famous directors! Qiao Qian said with some pride, even if she is a supporting role, it is already very good to be able to show her face in Director Zhang's movie.
"I know, who doesn't know such a famous director!" Chen Mo said very straightforwardly, simply sat down, and said, "Mengmeng, let's wait, if what she said is true, then your brother and I will make a lot of money in the future." ”
"Okay, my brother said just wait!" Xu Meng said very cutely, she was so innocent.
"Haha, Mengmeng, why are you so cute!" Qiao Qian grinned and reached over to touch her head.
"Do you have something on your mind? Anyway, it's boring to sit right now, or you can talk about it! Chen Mo said.
"You can't solve my worries, and speaking out will only add to your troubles, so let me bear it alone!"
"My grandfather will definitely be able to solve it, you name it, I'll let my grandfather help you!" Xu Meng was very cute and said very firmly.
"Hehe, your grandfather is so powerful, but don't bother his old man!" Qiao Qian said.
Then he looked at Chen Mo and found Chen Mo's interested eyes, so he continued: "Then I'll talk about it, anyway, I'm blocked in my heart, and I usually don't have anyone to talk to, so it's quite uncomfortable." ”
"I am now signed with Huaxia Media, I have been debuting for several years, I have always played a small supporting role, I have not been valued by the company, I don't help me take on some important supporting roles, I have always been a little girl and other roles, in fact, I think I can be a good actor, I don't have many requirements, as long as I give me a female third, female fourth, maybe I will be caught by that director, but I have too few opportunities to perform."
"Many of the sisters who debuted at the same time as me have become well-known stars, and now I see them all deliberately avoiding it, I sometimes want to quit the entertainment industry and find someone to marry, and my parents have been urging me to get married, and I am annoyed." "My contract is expiring soon, I don't want to renew it, I want to change companies, maybe it will give me a chance!"
"Can you leave me a phone number?" Chen Mo said calmly, he suddenly wanted to help her, and it was also a kind of fate to be able to meet in the vast sea of people.
In the entertainment industry, if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to have three points of ability, six points of luck, and one point of noble support. In fact, the ability is far greater than three points, and luck and nobility are also quite important.
If you have strong strength, but you don't encounter opportunities, you don't meet noble people to help, it is even more difficult to get ahead, this kind of scene is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, many stars are middle-aged and famous, that's because their opportunities come late, this way of becoming famous, once you meet the opportunity, and seize it, it is the eternal fire, and the identity value will continue to rise!
If you have a certain strength, but your luck is particularly good, then you need to continue to have noble people to help, once you leave the nobles, you are basically a flash in the pan, annihilating everyone, this kind of obvious is now a lot, especially some new stars, in the company's support instantly became popular, but once left the company's packaging, it will be overshadowed, this kind of star is destined not to have real value.
And Qiao Qian's strength is there, but her luck has not arrived, many people like her will not be able to hold on, and it is easy to give up, just like she said just now, she has the idea of quitting the entertainment industry, and I don't know if I can hold on until the time when the noble person appears.
She said the troubles that had been piling up in her heart for a long time, she felt a lot more comfortable, and gave her mobile phone number to Chen Mo, she didn't think that Chen Mo could help her anything, just because Chen Mo was the person she was looking for, and if she asked for someone, she would naturally not refuse.
Because in her opinion, Chen Mo is a singer, and he basically doesn't have much to do with actors, but it doesn't prevent him from making friends.
"How long do you have left for your contract to expire?" Chen Mo asked casually.
"More than a month." "If you want to sign a new company, can you say hello to me, I'll see if I can help you then," Chen Mo said seriously.
Qiao Qian was a little surprised, and a little unconvinced, because Chen Mo was a newcomer who had just debuted, and it was impossible to know a powerful entertainment company bigwig, but seeing Chen Mo's serious expression, she still said very seriously: "Okay, I'll tell you when I'm about to expire." ”
"By the way, aren't you supposed to be in the capital? How did you get here? She's your sister? Qiao Qian said.
The two kept chatting, Xu Meng interjected from time to time, Qiao Qian took snacks from her bag for her to eat, she was still happy to eat, and asked some strange things about the entertainment industry.
Time passed slowly, Xu Meng was actually quite tired, after all, he walked for a day today, and he said that he was not tired because he was accompanied by Chen Mo.
Half an hour later, Director Zhang finally came, accompanied by Xiao Xiaodong, they left the hotel in a hurry, and they didn't tell anyone where they were going, which confused the actors and crew.
Seeing Qiao Qian chatting with a man and a woman here, Director Zhang knew that this boy was Chen Mo.
"You're Chen Mo, right? Hello, hello! I'm Zhang Yimou! Director Zhang politely stretched out his hand.
Chen Mo recognized this famous director at a glance, after all, such a famous director, Chen Mo's predecessor still has a very deep memory, I thought it was difficult to contact, very indifferent, but I didn't expect to be so friendly.
"Director Zhang, hello, I'm Chen Mo!" Chen Mo politely stretched out his hand over.
"Hehe, hello, I'm Chen Mo's sister! My name is Xu Meng, you can call me Mengmeng! Xu Meng saw Chen Mo shaking hands with Director Zhang, and she also stood up and reached out. Director Zhang glanced at it, stretched out his hand with a smile, and said, "Little sister is so cute." ”
"Hee-hee, you're cute too!" Xu Meng said with a smile, very cute.
“… Well, it's all cute! "Director Zhang was confused by this sentence that you are very cute, he is so old, but he has nothing to do with cuteness.
"Director Zhang, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" Chen Mo said, he now believed what Qiao Qian said, thinking that he was really lucky.
"Brother, I'm hungry." Xu Meng pouted beside him.
"It just so happens that I'm hungry too, why don't we go find a restaurant, I know there's a nice restaurant nearby, it's delicious." Director Zhang followed Xu Meng and said, since she is Chen Mo's sister, then coax her, and more than half of Chen Mo will be coaxed.
A few people chatted while walking, and they didn't drive when the hotel was close, although Director Zhang and Xiao Xiaodong had just come out at the celebration party, and they were not hungry at all, but they had to pretend to be very hungry for Chen Mo and his little sister.
came to a high-end restaurant, ordered, served, Director Zhang took the initiative to hand the menu to Xu Meng, Xu Meng ordered a few dishes he usually eats, and then handed the menu to Chen Mo, Chen Mo casually ordered two dishes and handed the menu back to Director Zhang, Director Zhang ordered a few more dishes and called the service yuan out.
However, Director Zhang looked at the few dishes ordered by Xu Meng and was a little surprised, you know, it is normal for them to order expensive dishes at their status, but it is not normal for Xu Meng, a teenage girl, to order such expensive dishes, if you don't want to kill him, then you usually eat it often, and the family affairs should be very good.
"Chen Mo, I won't beat around the bush, I'm more direct." Director Zhang saw that Chen Mo and Xu Meng had almost eaten, and said.
Director Zhang took a sip of his drink and continued: "Qiao Qian should have told you before, we are currently making a movie and are looking for a theme song, I have listened to a few of your songs and think it is very suitable for our film temperament, so I want to make an appointment with you about a song, and I want you to use your style to help us write a theme song?" ”
Chen Mo didn't speak, but was thinking, and after a while, he said, "Which one do you fancie?" ”
"We want you to write a song based on our movie, I can show you our script, there's no rush on this, I have brought the script, and you can write a song based on our movie after you watch it. That's for the best. Director Zhang said, took the script from Xiao Xiaodong and handed it to Chen Mo
"I am very honored to work with Director Zhang." Chen Mo took the script and said to Director Zhang.
"Then I'll look at the script first, if the script fits my style very well, I can give it to you for free, but I have a small request." Chen Mo added.
"Oh! You said! ”
"You know, I'm a singer, maybe I have to shoot a MV for any song when I look back, Director Zhang, as a famous director, must have no problem shooting a small MV, so can you ask Director Zhang to do me a favor at that time." Chen Mo looked at Director Zhang and said.
Chen Mo did not charge Director Zhang, but exchanged with Director Zhang by shooting MVs, without making money transactions, so that the two people could have more contact, and they could also become friends who could reach out when they needed help from each other, which could increase the friendship between the two and establish a certain friendly relationship.
With such a big-name director, Chen Mo knows that he will face a great dilemma in the future, and he has to hold his thighs tightly!
"Okay, feel free to contact me when you need my help shooting!" Director Zhang said very cheerfully.
"Thank you, Director Zhang, then it's decided, I'll take a good look at the script when I go back, and tailor a theme song!" Chen Mo said happily.
