Become a star after debuting from a romance show

Xu Rui and Yan Ran didn't stay too long. After all, Peng Hai and Tang Xi still had to work. Before leaving, the two parties politely added WeChat and made a verbal appointment for a dinner. It was uncertain whether it would come true.

On the way back, seeing Yan Ran looking like she had gained a lot, Xu Rui asked, "Is this trip worth it?"

"Of course!" Yan Ran told him enthusiastically: "Unlike the tutors in the school, what Director Tang Xi shared with me was not shooting techniques and professional knowledge, but more about reminding me of some details that are easy to overlook. And the skills of communicating with actors are very practical! ”

After saying that, she asked curiously: "What are you and Peng Hai talking about?"

"Wen Zhaodong, do you have any impression?" Xu Rui asked.

"No..." Yan Ran was about to deny it, but suddenly remembered, "No, I have an impression. It's Wen Zhaodong who played "The Confused Detective"?"

"Yes." Xu Rui asked Lu Ziliang in front of him again, "Brother Liang, where are you?"

Lu Ziliang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember."

Xu Rui didn't believe it: "That's not right. You are older than us, and you are from that era."

"What do you mean, you say I'm old?" Lu Ziliang was speechless, "You must not have seen it before!"

"Forget it." Xu Rui stopped chatting with him and continued talking to Yan Ran, "I liked this show very much at first. It was very interesting. Many young talents, including the actors, were criticized for their poor acting skills. The most criticized thing was their expressions. Iceberg face, dry eyes, etc., but Wen Zhaodong is different. His facial expressions are particularly rich, and he is often said to be exaggerated in his acting skills. However, when he participated in the drama "Confused Detective", his criticized shortcomings actually created a sense of humor. Unexpected effect, don’t you think he has a talent for comedy? He makes people want to laugh just standing there.”

Yan Ran recalled carefully and nodded: "Yes, the detective he played was very funny, but then he suddenly faded away. What happened?"

"I don't know, Peng Hai didn't tell me." Xu Rui shook his head, "I think if you want to film "The Truman Show", you can ask him to act. He should be very cheap now. Of course, you have to ask him clearly. Why did you withdraw from the circle before? Don’t be a big smear, and we got rid of it.”

Yan Ran thought for a while: "Peng Hai dares to use him, so that's not the case."

Xu Rui shook his head: "He is barely a supporting character in "Dang Jiuzhou", not much different from a passerby. Peng Hai may have given him a role due to previous favors or other reasons. If there is a problem, just cut it out. Let's But if you want him to play the leading role, you can’t be fooled.”

Lu Ziliang, who had been silent for the whole time, said: "Xu Rui is right, there are many deep waters and pits in this circle, so there is no harm in being careful."

"Yeah." Yan Ran accepted the two people's opinions with a smile, "But I haven't even finished the movie yet. If I really want to shoot it, I have to get the funds back first."

Xu Rui also understands that money is a big issue. The cost of "The Night the Comet Came" was only 700,000, which was within the reach of the two of them. But "The Truman Show" is different. If we keep improving, the cost may be close to 100 million. Without capital injection, it will be difficult to achieve at this stage.

"When will the broadcast platform settle the income sharing?" Xu Rui asked.

Yan Ran looked at him: "Didn't I tell you, settlement is based on quarterly basis."

Xu Rui sighed: "That's it, we can only think about it in the long term."

Lu Ziliang looked at him: "If the album sells well, it will not be difficult to make money if you work harder and get more notices."

Xu Rui was shocked: "Brother Liang, can you say this in front of your girlfriend?"

Lu Ziliang: "Huh?"

"Why can't you say it in front of me?" Yan Ran gave Xu Rui a funny look, "What do you mean? Tell me clearly!"

Xu Rui immediately said: "Aren't I afraid that you think I'm not motivated enough if I don't take on any work?"

Yan Ran hummed softly: "That's what I said, how could I be willing to work so hard for you!"

Lu Ziliang, who originally thought that he had inadvertently stirred up trouble and was going to eat the melon secretly, clearly felt that what he was eating was a sugar melon that would stick to his teeth!

Fortunately, the driver had good concentration and drove the car very steadily without being shaken by the actions of Xu Rui and Yan Ran.

After returning home, Xu Rui continued to work on the album. It’s not like Yan Ran won’t shoot her next movie unless it’s "The Truman Show". She has been in contact with investors who have contacted her. What if she meets a conscientious capital and a compatible partner? .

Because his father was too busy, the matter of bringing Yan Ran home was postponed until the Chinese New Year. Xu Rui went to Weibo's year-end ceremony and received the "Most Popular New Singer of the Year" award, and then went to the Kumiao platform to wrap up the event. I received the "Most Influential Young Male Singer of the Year" award, which sounds very impressive, but actually has little gold content.

However, his new album has had a great response within Shenghua Entertainment.

Xu Rui's studio is owned by Shenghua Entertainment. The album's production costs and future distribution will all depend on the company's resources. The company did not participate in the song selection, but it still has the right to audition.

The production efficiency of the album was much higher than expected. By the end of the year, a few songs from the album were recorded. If the company was satisfied with the audition, the final mastering project could be started and sent to the factory for pressing.

Gu Qiming prides himself on being a person with great taste in music. How could he miss such a thing as auditioning.

When he came to the listening room, he was accompanied by several executives and the album production team, but Xu Rui was not seen.

"Mr. Gu." Zhang Xiyun, the album's producer, came to Gu Qiming.

Gu Qiming asked doubtfully: "Where is Xu Rui?"

Zhang Xiyun explained: "I have a magazine shoot in the morning, but I haven't come yet. He said I don't have to wait for him."

"How is this album?" Gu Qiming asked curiously.

Zhang Xiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know once you hear it."

Who is Gu Qiming? When he saw this meaning, he knew that Zhang Xiyun was very optimistic about this album, which made him look forward to it even more. However, he still complained a little: "Oh, he is young and energetic, but he just doesn't listen to the company, as if we are harming him." Similarly, you think based on his performance in "Original New Generation", it's not good to focus on the feelings of family and country, but he has to write about love and love, I don't understand!"

Zhang Xiyun smiled but did not answer, took out his mobile phone and checked the time: "Mr. Gu, everyone is here, let's start?"

"Let's begin." Gu Qiming nodded in agreement.

So the new song listening session officially started, and the album was played in order. The first song "Those Years" made Gu Qiming laugh as soon as he heard it. He was indeed a young man. It was standard pop music, the melody was very pleasant, and the lyrics were also quite catchy. When people grow up, they regret the love they have missed, and it is easy for people to think of memories of campus events.

"The quality of the song is good." Gu Qiming commented in his mind, but compared with the songs in "Original New Generation", this song did not meet his expectations.

However, the next song "With You in My Life" made him vaguely aware of the idea of ​​​​making this song, so he patiently continued to listen to the following songs. Sure enough, the songs in the album were divided according to age groups, depicting Two different love routes.
