This star’s style is wrong

Ding dong ding dong ding dong…

There were continuous beeps from the phone. Fang Xing picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Caiwei's message.

When I clicked on it, I saw six photos in a row, all of which were of food.

Braised fish, braised chicken, pineapple fried rice, minced meat stuffed tofu and so on are all six dishes.

Fang Xing: What? Changed your career to a chef?

Li Caiwei: Sister Hong has negotiated a replacement contract. I want to treat you to dinner and cook it myself. You order three dishes.

Fang Xing: The minced meat stuffed tofu is ready, you can do whatever you want with the rest.

Li Caiwei: Then I will choose what I am best at. Are you free tonight?

Fang Xing: It’s okay tonight.

Li Caiwei: Then we agreed, dinner will be served at six o’clock, and the address will be sent to you later.

Six p.m.

Fang Xing drove to Binjiang Huating where Li Caiwei lived, then bought a fruit basket downstairs and carried it upstairs.

Ding dong!

Fang Xing pressed the doorbell and didn't wait long.

The door opened, and Li Caiwei, wearing an apron, said, "Come in, we'll eat right away. Little bean sprouts, bring uncle the new pair of slippers."

Little Douya was wearing a princess dress with two pigtails. She smiled and ran over to open the shoe cabinet. She took out a pair of large slippers from the top layer and squatted down to put them in front of Fang Xing.

After getting the slippers, Xiao Douya shyly ran back to the kitchen and stared at it.

Fang Xing put on his slippers, put the fruit basket on the dining table, walked over and pinched the little bean sprouts' cheeks: "It seems to have grown taller."

"Children are just like this. They look the same every day. If you don't see them for a while, they feel a lot older." Li Caiwei continued to work in the kitchen, her movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that she was not a newbie in cooking.

Little Douya raised her head, raised a finger, and said in a sweet voice, "I have grown one centimeter taller. I will grow taller every day, and soon I will be as tall as my mother."

"It can't be that fast, you clingy little pimple. Mom will have to worry about you for at least twenty years." Li Caiwei said she was worried, but her tone was full of happiness.

"I will grow up soon." Xiao Douya said with determination.

"Take uncle to wash his hands," Li Caiwei ordered.

Little Bean Sprout ran out of the kitchen, ran into the bathroom door, pointed at the sink and said, "Here."

Fang Xing walked over and turned on the faucet.

Little Douya stood aside, pointed at the bottles and cans on the sink, and said: "This is for washing hands, and that is for taking a bath..."

Fang Xing squeezed a little hand sanitizer. After washing his hands, he asked, "What about you? Have you washed them?"

The little bean sprouts were not as high as the countertop of the sink. He pouted and said, "Grandma took me to wash them. Grandma is not at home today."

Fang Xing picked her up, carried her to the sink, and said, "Is this okay?"

Xiao Douya rubbed her hands carefully. After rubbing the palms and backs of her hands, she said, "I've finished washing."

Fang Xing put her down and when he walked back to the living room, the food was already on the table.

A piece of steamed sea bass, a piece of pineapple fried rice, and a pot of mushroom and chicken soup.

Li Caiwei wore heat-resistant gloves, took out a plate from the steamer, brought it over and said, "You ordered minced meat stuffed tofu and a side of stir-fried vegetables. If you're hungry, you can start."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen again, chopped garlic, and prepared to stir-fry vegetables.

What is fried is sweet potato leaves. This dish should be eaten while it is hot after frying, so it should be left to the end.

Xiao Douya came over and took Fang Xing's hand.

Fang Xing lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Dou Ya pointed at the disinfection cabinet and said in a milky voice, "I can't get it."

Fang Xing walked over, took out three sets of dishes and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet and placed them, then held Xiao Douya's armpits and carried her to sit on her child's chair.

Next, it’s time to wait for the meal.

Sweet potato leaves fry very quickly and are ready in just a few minutes.

After it was served on the table, Li Caiwei greeted: "You eat first, you don't have to wait, the dishes are all here."

As she spoke, she returned to the kitchen, turned off the range hood, then cleaned up the kitchen garbage, wiped the countertop, and then washed her hands and prepared to eat.

"Try it quickly, it's all home-cooked food. Do you want to eat first or drink the soup first?" Li Caiwei took the bowl in front of Fang Xing.

"Let's eat." Fang Xing used to eat first.

Li Caiwei filled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Fang Xing. Then she poured a bowl of soup for herself: "I'm used to drinking the soup first, so hurry up and eat it."

While greeting her, she peeled the chicken for her daughter, cut it into pieces with scissors, and put it into the bowl of small bean sprouts.

Fang Xing tasted a piece of minced meat stuffed tofu first, nodded and praised: "It tastes great."

Li Caiwei said with a smile: "Little Douya also likes to eat this dish, but she only eats the fillings, and grandma helps her eat the remaining tofu skin, which makes her spoiled."

Little Douya pouted and argued: "I don't have it, I eat the skin."

Li Caiwei used the scissors to cut up a piece of minced tofu and put it into the bowl of bean sprouts: "Uncle is here for dinner today. If you lose your temper, you won't be cute."

Little Douya pouted and muttered: "I didn't lose my temper."

As he spoke, he began to use a spoon to pick up the vegetables in the bowl and eat them.

Fang Xing looked at the way the little bean sprouts pursed their lips and thought it was quite cute. He picked up a ball of sweet potato leaves, tasted it with the rice, and said, "The heat is well controlled."

Stir-fried sweet potato leaves is a very homely dish.

It seems very ordinary, but it is a very common skill.

Because for this dish, the control of heat is very critical.

If cooked for a long time, the sweet potato leaves will turn black and become soft.

The heat is not enough and it is too raw.

Therefore, although this dish is simple, it is difficult for novices to master.

After finishing a bowl of rice, Fang Xing filled a bowl of soup and started talking about business: "Sister Hong, have you discussed the replacement quota?"

"Yes, we have already negotiated and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Originally we could not negotiate, but it was still up to you. You agreed to help me produce the song for the competition, so the program team agreed." Li Caiwei was very happy.

"When will you participate in the recording?" Fang Xing asked again.

Although we have negotiated for a replacement singer, if we sign the contract now, we may not be able to catch up with the next recording session.

There are still four days until the recording of the next episode of "Singing".

The singer's schedule is set one month in advance, and even if the spot is temporarily filled, it will be two weeks in advance.

The "Singing" program team will not do anything in such a hurry.

Li Caiwei replied: "I will be participating in the recording in two weeks, which will be the fifth episode."

The program "Singing" only eliminates the starting singer every two episodes, so the replacement singer can only join every two episodes.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This time is more relaxed. Do you know the song selection rules for the fifth period?"

"Not yet. The program team will notify me after the contract is signed." Li Caiwei replied.

"After I know the rules of song selection, I will consider what song to let you sing." Fang Xing said.

"Okay. Actually, my initial thought was that we could sing "Drawing Heart" in the first episode. I just didn't know if it fit the theme of the competition." Li Caiwei said.

""Painting Heart" is also possible. We will decide based on the situation when the time comes." Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

We have only recorded two episodes of "Singing" now, and there are still more than two weeks until the fifth episode.

After eating.

Xiao Dou Ya took Fang Xing and they lay on the sofa together watching TV.

What he was watching was a very young cartoon, but Fang Xing actually watched it with gusto.

Li Caiwei washed the fruits, cut them and put them on the coffee table.

The little bean sprout shouted: "Mom, watch mom sing."

"Don't you watch it every day? You won't watch it today." Li Caiwei said.

"Look, I want to watch mommy sing." Little Douya began to act coquettishly.

Li Caiwei had no choice but to open the video of "Chi Ling" and show it to her.

There is also a movie trailer for "Painted Heart", but it is a story from Liaozhai, and Li Caiwei has not shown it to her daughter.

Li Caiwei used a toothpick to insert two pieces of apple and handed it to Xiao Douya: "Eat one piece for uncle."

Xiao Douya raised her head and fed the apple into Fang Xing's mouth before eating her own piece.

After eating the fruit, Xiao Douya also performed a show, dancing to the kindergarten party's program "Fireflies".

Looking at the cute appearance of the little bean sprouts, Fang Xing was a little lost in thought.

In fact, in my previous life, I was only one step away from starting a family.

If you really got married in your previous life, you should have such a cute child, right?

It's just that meeting the right person at the wrong time is the biggest regret in my previous life.

During the relationship in her previous life, Fang Xing had also envisioned her life after marriage.

Give birth to a lovely child and live a happy life.

It’s just that life is very realistic.

The two families are not so well matched.

Fang Xing finally chose to join the musical troupe, hoping to make achievements quickly.

However, there was not enough time.

After all, I could only get through that period of working as a juggler in a musical troupe alone.

By the time I finally got a role in the Cantonese version of the musical "Midnight Diner" and my career started to pick up, the relationship had changed.

No matter how successful he is in the musical theater circle after that.

The past has passed after all.

The happy life that I once longed for no longer belongs to me.

From then on, I no longer dared to imagine raising a baby at home.

The beauty that existed only in dreams in the past has become a regret forever.

Watching the little bean sprouts lively dancing the cute "Firefly" in front of him, Fang Xing was thinking about the theme of the next "Singing" competition, and also thought about what song to sing.

A song that tells a heartfelt story with its verse.

This song is very strange. When I listened to it, I thought it was not difficult to sing, but when I sang it, I realized that it was not difficult to sing.

The lyrics are very realistic and use concise words to tell a profound story.

This is a song that gets better and better the more you sing it, and the more you listen to it, the more heart-wrenching it becomes.

After leaving Li Caiwei's house, Fang Xing returned to his residence and began to compose music. Late at night, he played the guitar and sang the song to himself.

…

the next day.

Fang Xing received a WeChat message from his agent Qiao Yinghong, saying that he had a work meeting and wanted to go to the company.

Normally, Fang Xing would not go to the company without notice.

I needed to attend the work meeting today, so I arrived at the company early in the morning.

The management team of the personal studio has been formed. The studio now has six employees, responsible for operations, business negotiations, and performance planning of the studio's artists.

After Fang Xing arrived, the meeting started directly.

Qiao Yinghong announced something: "Boss, you said to reduce endorsements and advertising shootings as much as possible, but we have to accept the endorsement of this brand, the international big-name men's wear Boboli.

“I am negotiating with the Asia general agent of Burberry for endorsement, but the talks have not been finalized yet.

“Because we have two or three competitors, plus the boss is currently only broadcasting one program.

"If we talk about this endorsement after "The Voice" is aired, I am absolutely sure to get it.

“Right now, the competition is very strong.

“One of the strongest competitors, which the boss also knows, is Liu Hongsheng.

"Currently, Baoboli is more inclined to find Liu Hongsheng as its spokesperson. I feel that the boss's qualifications are a little bit low."

Ever since he opened his personal studio, the employees in the studio all called Fang Xing boss.

At the beginning, Fang Xing was a little uncomfortable with it.

Only Guo Keda is still called "Brother Fang".

The current management team of the studio is led by Guo Keda.

His name is "Brother Fang", and he can indeed establish prestige in front of other employees.

After listening to Qiao Yinghong's story, Fang Xing roughly knew what was going on.

Baoboli is indeed a big international brand, not only making men's clothing, but also women's clothing and bags.

Baoboli has a great influence internationally.

It can even be said that endorsing Baobo Li can even improve the celebrity's personality.

Fang Xing said strangely: "In my impression, Bao Boli has always adopted a mature and steady style. I obviously don't meet their requirements."

Although it has become a top-rated show, only one program, "Tomorrow's Star", has been aired so far.

And this show is still a men's team talent show.

In terms of quality, it's not quite enough.

Therefore, from the perspective of qualifications, it is indeed not in line with Bao Boli's style.

Qiao Yinghong nodded and said: "Indeed, Baoboli has always been in a mature and stable style. However, at this year's International Fashion Week, the new series launched by Baoboli is in a youthful style.

“This is related to the new chief designer hired by Baoboli. The new designer’s design style is more avant-garde.

“It also makes this year’s new series of Burberry more youth-oriented.

“This also means that Burberry needs to open up new markets for this new designer.

“So, the endorsement fees dropped are much higher than in previous years.

“Since the new series tends to be more youthful and avant-garde, top celebrity endorsements are also within their consideration.

"It's just that there has been no major change in the top management of Baoboli, and the ideas for promotion and endorsements have not changed. It is still uncertain what kind of spokesperson will be chosen in the end."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "In that case, let's try our best to get this endorsement. If you can get this endorsement, take it. If you can't get it, it doesn't matter."

Fang Xing was not in a hurry, one bite would not make him fat.

As long as the singer can find his way step by step, if he can't get endorsements from big names now, big names will take the initiative to come to him in the future.

Therefore, Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

However, Qiao Yinghong was anxious.

As an agent, her job goal is to monetize the artist's popularity.

It's been almost three months since "Stars of Tomorrow" ended.

Now is the end of the popularity of "Star of Tomorrow". If you want to get big-name endorsements, now is the last chance.

Qiao Yinghong continued: "One more thing. Xu Liren, the music director of Puxiang Records, made an appointment for a dinner, hoping that the boss would appreciate it."

"Puxiang Records? Is it about "Painting Heart"?" Fang Xing was a little confused.

I had dealt with Puxiang Records once before, and that time they were bidding for the theme song of "Liao Zhai: Painted Skin".

Later, Puxiang Records lost the contract, so that time of dealing with Puxiang Records was probably not a pleasant experience for Puxiang Records.

Of course, it’s normal for record companies to compete.

Under normal circumstances, a record company wouldn't start a feud just because it couldn't get a contract for a movie or TV theme song.

Qiao Yinghong shook her head and said, "Has the boss forgotten? King Liu Hongsheng's company cooperates with Puxiang Records."

Liu Hongsheng's Hongsheng Entertainment is just a company responsible for operating Liu Hongsheng's personal performing arts resources.

Hongsheng Entertainment itself has no music production capabilities.

Therefore, Liu Hongsheng has always been affiliated with Puxiang Records, and all albums are produced by Puxiang Records.

In a sense, Liu Hongsheng can be regarded as the singer of Puxiang Records.

"Uh, I didn't think about it for a moment. What did Puxiang Records want to talk about when they invited us to dinner?" Fang Xing was a little curious.

"Maybe it has something to do with the endorsement of Baoboli. After all, if there are too many competitors, once they reach the stage of lowering each other's prices, it will not be good for anyone." Qiao Yinghong said.

"What do you mean?" Fang Xing asked.

"I suggest you meet Xu Liren from Puxiang Records. Although we won the last order for "Painting Heart" based on our strength, politely, we should still give them a face. The circle is so big, so keep your head up. If you don’t see me, it’s better to walk a wider road.” Qiao Yinghong explained.

"Then let's go have a meal." Fang Xing agreed.

…

Six p.m.

Cloisonne Hotel.

Fang Xing and Qiao Yinghong arrived at the hotel private room together.

As soon as Qiao Yinghong entered the door, she greeted the people from Puxiang Records warmly.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more energetic."

"Mr. Qiao, it's the same. He's been promoted recently."

After complimenting each other a few words, we each sat down.

After tasting the food and wine, Qiao Yinghong began to ask about the business: "Mr. Xu warmly invited me this time. I wonder what the purpose is? It doesn't seem to be about Bao Boli? I haven't seen the agent of Hongsheng Company."

Xu Liren laughed and said, "Mr. Qiao is too impatient. We are not here to discuss business today, but to keep in touch with each other."

Qiao Yinghong smiled and said: "Mr. Xu is a very busy man. If there is no business, how can he have time to treat us to dinner?"

Xu Liren continued to smile and said: "It's really not about business, it's about connecting with each other. By the way, I want to ask Teacher Fang, are you ready for the songs in the next issue of "Singing"?"

Fang Xing replied casually: "Almost."

Xu Liren picked up the wine bottle, poured Fang Xing a glass of wine himself, and said, "Are you still sure to win first place in the next issue?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but there should still be a chance."

Xu Liren continued: "In the next issue, we Puxiang gave Liu Tianwang a popular love song all over the country, re-arranged it and produced a new version. The goal is to win the first place, and the King still deserves to be the first. Bar?"

Qiao Yinghong smiled and answered: "Of course, of course, who doesn't know Liu Tianwang's strength and popularity?"

Xu Liren continued: "As for the endorsement, actually Liu Tianwang thinks we can still talk about it and give young people more opportunities."

Qiao Yinghong and Xu Liren, you and I do Tai Chi every sentence.

Fang Xing felt a little bored and couldn't eat much anymore, so he came out to take a breath.

Half an hour later.

Qiao Yinghong came out after the conversation and translated Xu Liren's words: "What Liu Hongsheng means is that he hopes that we can restrain our sharpness in "Song". If the fight is too fierce, it will not look good. If we are willing to give in, Bao Bo Li will Over there, you don’t have to lower our prices.”
