During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 16 New Album and Finalists
  At the end of December, Huang Bai's new album "For Love" was officially released. This album has only five songs and is considered an enhanced EP.

The five songs are:

"Ten Thousand Reasons"

"There is a kind of love called letting go"

"do not say you do not care for my tears"

"wait a minute"

"Seeking Buddha"

These songs are among the few popular ring tones in Wei Jin's mind, and they do not require high singing skills.

And they are typical singers. You will find that most people can hum a few lines of these songs, but very few people know who sang them. Several original singers were also found within two years. There is no such person.

According to Wei Jin's idea, he would scan a few songs on the market to complete an album. After all, he couldn't write songs for Huang Bai all the time.

However, Huang Bai's manager Zhang Xu said after seeing the songs provided by Wei Jin that the quality is more important than refinement. Instead of looking for some ordinary works to fill the number, it is better to strive for excellence to ensure reputation.

After Zhang Xu officially became Huang Bai's agent, he was very active. He really wished Huang Bai could transform into a commercial actor and work 24 hours a day without rest.

He is also the most concerned about Huang Bai's new album. In order to expand Huang Bai's influence, he also specially found someone to produce an exquisite MV to let Huang Bai show his face and increase his exposure.

After the album was released, he went to Tianyu Records every day, which annoyed several rich second-generation managers.

However, the effect is also obvious. Once "For Love" was released, it aroused unprecedented response from the market and quickly occupied the top of the major song charts. At the same time, major radio stations released it in turn, and the brainwashing effect was beyond imagination.

Suddenly, Huang Bai became the most prominent singer this winter.

Since almost all of his songs express the theme of love that cannot be achieved, Huang Bai has been hailed as the "King of Bitter Love Singers" by various media.

Not to mention, given Huang Bai's appearance, fans generally believe that what is sung in the song is Huang Bai's personal experience.

For a time, I really attracted a lot of "dog licking fans" who had the same experience.

There is also a rich woman who thinks that Huang Bai is infatuated, unable to love, hurt by love, and makes people feel heartbroken. She even makes bold promises to support Huang Bai.

Hearing the news, Huang Bai couldn't help but smile, and Wei Jin was even more gloating about the misfortune.

After New Year's Day, time enters 2004.

On this day, Huang Bai, who had finished his consecutive commercial performances, was persuaded by his girlfriend Xiao Ou to invite Bole and financial backer Wei Jin to dinner to express his gratitude. Wei Jin also happily went to the appointment and brought Zeng Li with him.

The place to eat is set at an old Beijing mutton soup pot. In winter, who can resist the mutton soup pot?
  Entering the private room, Wei Jin saw Huang Bai, who was fully armed, and couldn't help but smile:
  "Old Huang, are you acting here?"

No wonder Wei Jin was laughing. Huang Bai was dressed in a black woolen coat, a broad hat, a scarf around his neck, and a pair of sunglasses on his face. He looked exactly like the Huang leader's version of Xu Wenqiang.

"It's not my fault. You don't know how crazy the paparazzi is. They chased me to the point where I moved."

Huang Bai took off his hat and scarf while complaining, and then introduced:

"Old Wei, this is my wife, Xiao Ou."

"Xiao Ou, this is our boss and my brother, Wei Jin."

"Hello, Mr. Wei, I often hear Huang Bai mention you. Thank you for your support."

Xiao Ou is a quiet and delicate woman with a petite figure. When she is with Huang Bai, she really looks like a little bird.

"Hello sister-in-law, just call me Wei Jin or Xiao Wei. Lao Huang and I are like iron porcelain."

Wei Jin did not want to neglect, and immediately introduced Zeng Li to the two of them:

"Lao Huang, this is my sister Li, Zeng Li."

"Sister Li, this is our employee and my brother, Huang Bai."

After saying this, everyone laughed. Wei Jin's introduction was obviously plagiarized from Huang Bai's.

"Hello, Huang Bai, Xiao Ou, my name is Zeng Li and I am an actor."

When Zeng Li met Wei Jin's friends for the first time, he also behaved politely and generously.

After a few people finished greetings and formally sat down, Zeng Li said curiously:
  "Brother Bo, you just said you were forced to move. What happened?"

Huang Bai then explained that since the new album became popular, entertainment reporters have often followed him and stayed near the house he rented, trying to dig up big news.

As a last resort, Huang Bai brought Xiao Ou to the capital and bought a house on the way. At the moment, housing prices in Beijing are not high, with the average price being less than 8000, and the price in good locations not exceeding . It’s a good time to buy one.

"I told you not to be in the MV. If you become famous, you have to bear these consequences."

Wei Jin did not comment on Huang Bai's complaints, and Zeng Li was not surprised either.

"By the way, the price of commercial performances has increased a lot recently. Please hurry up and do more commercial performances before the end of the year. Your boss and I also want to buy a house."

"Is it humane? Your sister-in-law has just arrived in the capital, so I don't have to spend more time with her?"

Hearing Wei Jin's teasing, Huang Bai was not to be outdone, and then said excitedly:

"Brother, he is so famous now, and the performance fee for a commercial performance is 20."

"Hey, good guy, have you caught up with grandson? Are you so popular?"

03-04 At this time, Sun Nan's appearance fee is less than 20, and the boss Liu Huan only has 30.

The price of Huangbai is indeed a bit exaggerated. It is equivalent to an album, which has skyrocketed from the ground up.

"You haven't paid attention to this yourself. Now the streets and alleys are filled with Boge's songs."

Zeng Li usually likes to listen to music, and also has a woman's natural tendency to gossip. She understands these things better and interjected.

"It's all Lao Wei's songs that are well written, and I just take advantage of them. Miss Zeng is overly praised."

Huang Bai said modestly:
  "That is to say, the album is becoming popular. It is estimated that when the popularity subsides, the price will be adjusted back."

I don’t know if it’s a common problem among men. Whether it’s Wei Jin or Huang Bai, they have to be much more polite when facing their brothers and women.

"Well, then you take advantage of this wave of heat and run more."

Wei Jin looked at Xiao Ou as he spoke and added:
  "Just run around the capital. I'll tell Zhang Xu when I get back."

"Then thank you boss for your kindness."

Huang Bai started to make jokes again.

"I'm afraid you'll scold me Wei Bapi behind my back."

Wei Jin laughed and cursed:
  A few people chatted and laughed, and after a while, the two women were chatting together.

Zeng Li heard that Xiao Ou and Huang Bai had been in love for almost 10 years, so she humbly learned from Xiao Ou.

Xiao Ou did not hesitate to share, and the two women whispered to each other, talking about how to hold the man tightly.

"There is a kind of love called letting go. Giving up for love lasts forever~~"

Wei Jin's cell phone rang.

"Hey, Teacher Jiang, um, are you serious? We are all happy together, and thank the school for its strong support. Okay, I will notify you right away. Okay, see you later in the year. Well, goodbye Teacher Jiang."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin was slightly excited. He saw several people staring at him and said:

"The film has been officially shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and the organizer has informed me to attend the opening ceremony in February."

"Congratulations, Old Wei."

"Congratulations, Mr. Wei."

"Xiao Jin, you are awesome."

Huang Bai and his wife hurriedly congratulated each other, and Zeng Li even kissed him with excitement on his face.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, Wei and Jin movies were shortlisted, Huang Bai's album became a hit, what could be more worthy of celebration than this?

The two men exchanged cups, and the two women also smiled. For a while, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

After the meal, Wei Jin, slightly tipsy, called Qin Hao to inform him of the shortlist and reminded him to set off from the capital together later in the year.

When Qin Hao heard this, he felt as if he had won the lottery and was so happy that he could not speak coherently.

On the way home, Zeng Li was driving, and Wei Jin opened half of the window. The biting cold wind made Wei Jin wake up for a moment. He knew that the first shot in the entertainment industry had been fired.

　Thank you all for your support. I have signed the contract. Three updates today.
