This star likes to die

Chapter 128 Uncle is going to speed up!

Hearing Xiao Ning say that he was inspired to write a song, John looked at a loss.

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

But what they knew were mostly some videos of Xiao Ning doing extreme sports before.

Such as rappelling from Qiuming Mountain, climbing the Twin Towers of Jiangcheng with bare hands, and so on.

Although everyone knows that Xiao Ning's job is actually a singer and a celebrity artist, but the situation in the Longguo music circle is now known to everyone, "Others write songs based on inspiration, while Xiao Ning relies on life to write songs", they is unclear.

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

After all, John is just an engineer sent by Red Bull to cooperate with Xiao Ning to complete this challenge, and he has no right to make decisions about the company's affairs.

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

When I just made up my mind about this matter, all the crew members got off the bus.

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

Then Zheng Xiang and others came over to talk to Xiao Ning, expressing their congratulations, Zheng Xiang also tactfully made a suggestion to Xiao Ning.

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

"If you have any challenges in the future, can you tell everyone in advance?"

"I saw the people from Red Bull before, and I really thought they were just the people you hired to cooperate with us in shooting the racing scenes!"

"As a result, this situation...is really scary!"

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

"The driving skills are so powerful, why have I never heard of you before?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, you guy..."

Xie Bin paused for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Now you are shouldering the important task of prospering the racing industry of Dragon Kingdom!"

These words made Xiao Ning feel uncomfortable.

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

Afterwards, Xiao Ning directly stated that he had no thoughts in this regard for the time being. Although Xie Bin was slightly disappointed, he felt that it was reasonable.

After all, he was involved in the matter of Qiuming Mountain, the North Ring Road Elevated Road, and Jiangcheng Twin Towers before. After hearing Xiao Ning's statement that he would not pursue career development, Xie Bin, who seemed to have guessed something, directly pulled Xiao Ning aside, mysteriously. Xixi opened his mouth.

"Xiao Xiao, you tell them that you don't want to be a professional driver because you love music and you have to be your singer. That's fine, after all, they don't know you well enough."

"But you can't fool me."

"Tell me, next time you will die... Uh, what is the content of challenging the limit? When are you going to start?"

How to make a living or not, it doesn't matter what Xiao Ning said now.

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

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

"I don't know yet, let me tell you when I think about it?"

Hearing Xiao Ning say this, Xie Bin waved his hands again and again: "Don't do it."

Xiao Ning was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I'm getting old and have a bad heart, Xiao Xiao, you have to understand uncle."

At this time, Red Bull's camera team gathered around and said that they would have a short interview with Xiao Ning.

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

Xiao Ning looked at the star-studded night sky, recalled the mountain wind that blew all the way down the mountain just now, and his thoughts on the success of the challenge were very brief.

"It's a pleasure to complete such a challenge. I enjoy the feeling of doing what others can't, but then again."

"Driving dangerously, please do not imitate."

After the two sentences were finished, Xiao Ning gestured "OK", directly showing the Red Bull team and the crew of "Initial D" who were watching beside him dumbfounded.

Just now Xiao Ning worked hard on the way down the mountain.

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 Long Country Headquarters, he agreed to postpone the release of the short film recording Xiao Ning's challenge in Autumn Mountain.

As for Xiao Ning's suggestion that he could provide a song as the soundtrack for the short film, Zou Yitian was actually quite shocked.

John's group of foreigners were temporarily invited to Longguo from abroad. They didn't know that Xiao Ning's situation was fine. He had heard of it.

Therefore, Zou Yitian immediately proposed that if Xiao Ning finished this song, please send him the song first.

Then the phone hangs up.

Xiao Ning casually sent "deja vu".

Zou Yitian, who had just finished answering the phone in the underground parking lot, just got into the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz and found a WeChat message from Xiao Ning. He thought it was because the other party had something to add that he didn't mention on the phone just now.

But after clicking on WeChat, it turned out to be an audio file.

No way?
Zou Yitian was not calm anymore.

He has learned about Xiao Ning's situation on the Internet before, and he knows that the other party will always have music-related output after doing some extreme sports, and he also knows that the other party's efficiency in making music is quite fast.

But when he actually encountered this situation himself, he still had to click his tongue.

He completed the challenge in the middle of the night, and he had to sleep when he went back, but it's not even afternoon yet, he finished the song?
Although his heart was full of shock, Zou Yitian clicked on the audio file while connecting to the car's Bluetooth.

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

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

"From the perspective of melody, it is really suitable as the soundtrack for his challenge short film."

"that is……"

"Would you be too irritable?"

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

At the same time, the Sound of Berlin speaker on the Mercedes-Benz has just entered the first chorus of "deja vu".

"Catch shrimp!"

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

Unknowingly, after the engine was turned to four or five thousand rpm and turned on the main road, the song played on the stereo entered the second chorus.

"Catch shrimp!"

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

Half a month passed.

10 month 22 number.

During this period of time, the filming of "Initial D" is still going on intensely and orderly.

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

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

Because the main part of the racing shots was completed half a month ago with the cooperation of Xiao Ning and Xie Bin, and the rest is all literary content, so according to the shooting progress, "Initial D" can be officially released in three to five days. wrap up.

In fact, the filming of the main actors' dramas is almost finished. Today's filming is about uncle.

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

Uncle didn't have a complete shot in the "Initial D" movie, and he didn't even show his face.

But this character with few lines in total is a supporting role so important that he can even be called a "soul character".

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

After the actual filming, Xiao Ning was not nervous because he was watching everyone filming and acting every day these days.

In the first part of the scene where the uncle just appeared, he, who played the role of the uncle, was driving a Mercedes-Benz, and the driving was very stable, and he completely caught up with the actor Natsuki Motegi next to him.

I can't say how good his performance in these shots is, but at least it is above the standard.

Then it went to the last shot where the uncle had a few lines.

Xiao Ning, who had thought about every punctuation mark in the script and the movie, even had a flash of inspiration and added some scenes on the spot.

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

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

After hanging up the phone, the screen cut directly to the hotel.

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

"Xia Shu, it's lucky to have you with me during the two-week vacation."

"thank you."

"Is the money I gave you last time enough?"

Then, Natsuki said "don't come to her again after tonight".

However, Xiao Ning felt that the performance of the original movie seemed a bit too conservative.

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

The place where Mogi Natsuki answered the phone changed from sitting in front of the dressing table in the room next to his uncle to the bed in the room where his uncle was.

And the timing of answering the phone was changed from after taking a bath with a bath towel on to before.

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

"Xia Shu, hurry up, uncle is going to speed up."

After such a modification, the effect is really very good.

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

The director team thought it was good.

Xiao Ning felt good.

The actor of Natsuki Mogi thinks it is good.

Only Qian Zhen, the actor of Fujiwara Takumi, has a weird heart.

It was originally a tauren plot!

Does this need to be sublimated?
It's so green that it glows!

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

"I just!"

"This is definitely because Fujiwara Takumi is completely substituted, so I feel uncomfortable!"

"This shows that Junior Brother Xiao's adaptation of the play is very good! Very good! That's why I will substitute it in!"

"As expected of Junior Brother Xiao! You're such a dick if you want to change the play!"

……

the next few days.

The filming of "Initial D" has entered the finishing work and lasted until October 10th, when the film was officially completed.

Due to weather and other force majeure reasons, "Initial D" was filmed for almost a whole month, which was 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 finale day, "Initial D" went into the final post-production process.

For the later stage, the most difficult part of this film is that the shots related to racing need a lot of processing.

But because the cooperation between Xiao Ning and Xie Bin was good enough before, most of the main shots did not need any processing at all, and could be used directly with a little editing, so the post-production part, which was originally a lot of work, was actually processed very quickly.

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

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

And for Xiao Ning these ten days, the first few days could be said to be peaceful, but in the next few days, some things happened that were beyond his expectation but were reasonable after careful consideration.

First of all, on October 10, the competition for the October list of the Yuefu New Talent List officially came to an end.

The final ranking situation is just like when the list was opened.

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

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

After all, in this month's competition for the cutting-edge list, they completely beat Xuanji Entertainment away!
Although Xuanji Entertainment also has three songs in the top ten of this issue of the Yuefu New Talent List.

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

There are also three songs, but because of Xiao Ning, Hummingbird has won the top one, two and three!
This kind of elation is naturally worthy of celebration by the people in the Hummingbird Music Department.

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

For example, Sun Ye.

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

Xiao Ning won first, second and third places this time, and the bonuses he got from Yuefu.com were 100 million, 50, and 30, totaling 180 million. According to the previous promise, Hummingbird also had to give Xiao Ning 180 million bonuses.

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

And the reason why he felt apprehensive was very simple.

Recently, the leader's opinion on Xiao Ning is getting bigger and bigger day by day. He is worried that the higher up will turn his back on him and won't approve the matter that Hummingbird promised Xiao Ning a month ago.

Before Xiao Ning did not sign an endorsement with Lightning, the leader knew about it. After all, Lightning was the hummingbird he was in direct contact with at the time.

If the matter with Lightning came to fruition, then Xiao Ning was undoubtedly generating income for Hummingbird, but this matter failed in the end, and the root cause of the failure of the cooperation was entirely because of Xiao Ning.

After learning about this situation that day, the rich second-generation leader surnamed Lu who inherited his father's business from Hummingbird was already very angry. Later, Sun Ye went up and proposed to give Xiao Ning a raise and treatment, and even change the contract share. Not only did Hummingbird not earn Xiao Ning's money, but he had to coax Xiao Ning. The leader surnamed Lu became furious on the spot and kicked Sun Ye out of the office.

In addition to this incident, the leader surnamed Lu also knew about Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen's filming outside recently.

But what Hummingbird signed with Xiao Ning was only a music artist management contract, so Hummingbird can't control him making movies or anything.

Originally, Xiao Ning deliberately messed up the endorsement before, and even reached a private cooperation with the Austrian Red Bull, which already made the leader surnamed Lu very dissatisfied with Xiao Ning, an artist, and now he even went outside by himself When filming, I never considered cooperating with the Hummingbird Film and Television Department.

Therefore, Lu's dislike of Xiao Ning has actually reached its peak, because he discovered that Xiao Ning, an artist, is now gradually breaking away from Hummingbird's control.

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

He is disobedient!
For a disobedient artist, the leader surnamed Lu really didn't intend to give him a good look.

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

There are indeed idiots in the top management of Hummingbird, but most of them are normal people, otherwise the company would not be able to maintain its industry status in the old Lu period.

When most of the leaders unanimously expressed thoughts similar to Sun Ye's, thinking about using various interests, resources, and even the form of hummingbirds to work for others to keep Xiao Ning behind Hummingbird.

The leader surnamed Lu dropped the teacup directly.

Don't say that Xiao Ning is still just an artist who is not well-known in the music scene and has just become famous.

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

With the size of a hummingbird, this is actually nothing.

As the current head of Hummingbird Entertainment, the real boss, he couldn't tolerate the existence of such an artist who didn't pay attention to the company and didn't listen to him when he just started.

Therefore, after Sun Ye, who had just learned of the results of the new star list, came to the door anxiously and asked about the "bonus". , do not sign at all.

In the chairman's office at this time.

The leader surnamed Lu is losing his temper.

"Sun Ye! As the head of the music department, you have the responsibility to take good care of the people in your music department!"

"This Xiao Ning doesn't take the company seriously now, do you know that?"

"I don't make music all day long, I clean up those sensational things, and they are frequently searched! Do you know what we hummingbirds do in the eyes of some people? It's not an entertainment company that engages in music and film! It's a fucking sports company! Yes What a climbing company!"

"A few days ago, a developer who repaired high-rise buildings even contacted our business people, saying that they wanted to find Xiao Ning to visit their new real estate, and to hype 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 a sentence: "Director Lu, should I say it or not, Xiao Ning's new songs released in the past two months are already better than other artists in a year." There are too many, and in terms of performance... On the major rankings, Xiao Ning's songs are unshakable. You can say nothing else. You say that he didn't make music well, which is biased. ?”

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

"Then let's not talk about the negative impact he brought to us Hummingbird, let's talk about other things, let's just talk about signing an exclusive endorsement with Lightning a month ago, he refused when people rushed to give money. "

"This month, Xiao Ning and that bastard Qian Zhen went outside to shoot a movie. He ignored the company's arrangement of endorsements and business affairs. He pushed it as he wanted. He pretended he hadn't seen anything the company conveyed to him."

"What's the use of such an artist to us hummingbirds? What's the value of cultivating him?"

Sun Ye pursed his lips, glanced at the crumbs of the teacup on the ground, and said awkwardly, "I understand the truth, Director Lu."

"But let's not talk about other things. Xiao Ning alone accounted for [-]% of the online payment revenue of our music business department this month. Although online payment is not the main source of revenue for our music department at present, through this ratio, it is also You can know how high the quality of Xiao Ning's songs are, and how high his potential value is."

"You insist on saying that he is worthless, isn't that authentic?"

When Director Lu heard these words, he snorted coldly, and then said, "Are you really going to give him money? Don't ask me for it."

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

Hearing these words, Sun Ye's humble gesture of beating the worker and licking the dog suddenly disappeared.

He frowned first, then his facial muscles twitched.

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

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

Two syllables sounded softly in the office.

"S."

"B."

Sun Ye walked out while talking, and Dong Lu's furious voice came from behind him.

"Sun! Stop me! What did you just say? Don't think that I didn't hear you because of the low voice! I knew it a long time ago! I heard someone say that you have a problem with me in private! In private It's over for cursing and cursing! How dare you put it on the bright side now? Do you still want to do it?"

"Sun! Are you capable of scolding me?"

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

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

"Lu Jianming!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"It's fine if you bully and bully others, play with those female stars, and play with some messy unspoken rules."

"You don't think I can't get along without Hummingbird, do you? Threatening me?"

"When Lao Lu was here, I was in charge of the music department!"

"You don't think that if I don't work with you hummingbird, I will have a hard time?"

"I'm staying in Hummingbird, it's for Lao Lu's face, and it's to remember that Lao Lu appreciated me back then!"

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

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

"Then I will curse again."

"Stupid stuff!"

The atmosphere in the office became dead silent after Sun Ye slammed the door out.

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