Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 15 Unboxing!
On August 8, Coco Lee's "Missing You 20 Days" and Jeff Chang's "Love Is Just One Word" were sung across China along with the animated film "The Lotus Lantern".

On the 24th, Liu Huan's famous song "Start Over Again" was broadcast on CCTV in the form of a public service advertisement.

At about the same time, Richie Jen released the album "Love is Like the Pacific Ocean".

Once the album is released.

Hit songs such as "Sad Pacific", "I'm a Fish", and "Look at the Girl Across the Street" quickly topped various charts across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Subsequently, many media outlets began to release news that new albums by many singers would be released soon.

For a time, the momentum of "Fairy Tale" finally slowed down.

However, in the next two weeks, "Fairy Tale" continued to hover around the top ten or even top five on various lists, and remained very strong.

As a result, Lu Jiang enjoyed the high appearance fee bonus for more than a week.

It was not until September 9rd, when the average appearance fee was reduced to 3, that Lu Jiang decisively ended his trip and ended this commercial performance trip on the grounds that school was about to start.

This was the result of his discussion with Li Chao.

On the one hand, he did have school to start.

On the other hand, this is also a common practice for rising singers.

For things like appearance fees, it's difficult to raise the price again after it's been lowered a few times.

However, this interruption will not affect future commercial performances.

In the future, Lu Jiang will still accept any offer exceeding 4.

It just means that if the company relies solely on the song "Fairy Tale", there will be fewer and fewer high-priced commercial performances in the future.

If you want to maintain the market situation, the best way at the moment is to release new albums or use other methods to maintain popularity or even increase your status.

But it is not easy to come up with a song that surpasses "Fairy Tale"!
Fortunately, this is not a problem for Lu Jiang at all.

"I already have a new song."

Lu Jiang said with a smile.

Li Chao was the first to get excited, "Really?"

"of course."

After this suspension of commercial performances.

Goldfinger also seemed to have determined that this major event had been completed.

A pile of treasure chests suddenly appeared in Lu Jiang's mind.

A white treasure chest, which is the reward for taking Fan Binbin to a commercial performance.

Three green treasure chests, one is from Gao Xixi's final assignment long-face treasure chest, and the other is the double gift reward after connecting with "Contemporary Music Scene".

Two blue treasure chests, double gift rewards from Fan Binbin after he introduced Locke Anluo and facilitated the cooperation.

A purple treasure chest, a reward from Li Chao for achieving his wish.

In addition, a song called "Jiangnan" was released earlier.

There are 8 songs in total.

If the quality of these is good, the next album will definitely be a hit.

Even if the other seven songs are bad, the foundation for the success of the next album has been laid just by "Jiangnan".

But after hearing this, Li Chao began to feel sad again: "Have you decided which company to choose?"

The two agreed that the new album would not be produced and released by Rock Anluo.

Although Li Chao had already accepted it, he couldn't help but feel regretful again when he mentioned this matter.

"Not yet. Let's talk slowly during this time."

Lu Jiang really didn't make a good choice because he didn't have time to talk about it properly.

Now that the commercial performance is over, it is a good time to consider this matter.

Next, Lu Jiang, Fan Binbin and Li Chao found a hotel and had a good meal.

While eating, Lu Jiang took the opportunity to settle Fan Binbin's salary, which was a total of 5,000 yuan for more than a month.

Compared with the more than 400,000 yuan earned from commercial performances in the past month, it is just a drop in the bucket.

After accepting it, Fan Binbin said a little embarrassedly: "I may have to cancel the lease."

The reason is very simple. The filming takes half a year, and the crew provides food and accommodation. It would be a waste to leave the house empty.

After hearing this, Lu Jiang waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with that. I'll keep it for you. You can pay the rent when you become rich!"

How can we let go of the treasure chest cow so easily?

But Fan Binbin had a different understanding after hearing this.

She curled her lips, didn't refuse, and accepted it happily: "Boss is generous!"

After dinner, Lu Jiang sent Fan Binbin downstairs to his home.

Her father is already upstairs. He arrived in Beijing in the morning. They will join the crew together in the evening. Her father will be responsible for negotiating the contract for her new drama.

Before leaving, a blue treasure chest appeared above the head of Treasure Chest Cow Fan Binbin:
Fan Binbin is reluctant to part with the host. She hopes the host can keep in touch with her and visit the crew.

【Exceeding the requirements, the treasure chest can be upgraded】

Keep in touch + visit the set.

Such a simple requirement is actually blue?
While thinking, Fan Binbin also spoke: "Lu Jiang."

"What's wrong?"

"You're fine, I'm leaving now. Go back and be careful."

Fan Binbin hesitated to speak and ultimately did not say what was in his heart.

Looking at Fan Binbin waving goodbye.

Lu Jiang suddenly realized that this treasure chest was a little hot. If he took it, he was afraid that something might happen.

After sending Fan Binbin off, Lu Jiang went straight to his new home.

It is said to be a new house, but in fact it was the property of the old Lu family.

It’s not a courtyard house, but a very simple two-bedroom, one-living room house.

After Lu Jiang sold the distribution rights, he thought about buying back the old house.

But he couldn't afford a courtyard house as it was too expensive, and Lao Lu didn't agree to take out a loan to buy a house, so he first set his sights on some small houses.

I spent 600,000 yuan to buy three sets.

One of them is the one we are going to now.

The main reason I want to move here is that I am a bit tired of the old road.

Lu Jiang’s MV is very popular, and it broke the dilemma of newcomers who are not famous even though their songs are popular.

In addition, the neighbors were all enthusiastic, and word spread quickly, so Lu Jiang's home address and phone number were almost semi-public in Beijing. Every day, there were many people coming to see the new things, and there were also many paparazzi.

The paparazzi are easy to deal with. Lao Lu has an old classmate who is the director of the Beijing Entertainment News. Just say hello and they are all family. But there is no way to stop the enthusiastic crowds and fans.

Moreover, many of these people are still here to follow the old path.

Lao Lu used to be a playboy who spent money lavishly. Later, Lao Lu came to his senses and since he didn't have much money left, his friends stopped associating with him.

Now that Lu Jiang has become famous and the Lu family is rich again, the bad relationship has come back into play.

What made Lao Lu decide to move out was that on August 8, three little girls were squatting at the door. At that time, Lu Jiang was still doing commercial performances, and Lao Lu was at home. When he opened the door early in the morning, the three little girls rushed into the house and scared Lao Lu to death.

After sending away three crazy fans who might have been instructed by someone, Lao Lu secretly moved house that same day without telling anyone except a few relatives.

It has been more than half a month since the move, and Lao Lu's family has returned to peace.

When I got home, Lao Lu was leisurely flipping through the newspaper. I didn't need to look to know that he was definitely studying housing prices in various places.

In the old asset repurchase plan, there are still four properties in BJ that have not been recovered, and there are five or six properties in other areas that have not been recovered. The housing prices are different, and there have been increases and decreases during this period. Lao Lu recorded them one by one, just like stock trading, and he was very careful.

Lu Jiang also supported it. Since they had to buy it anyway and it was their own name on it, they might as well let Lao Lu do it.

"I am back."

Without even looking up, Lao Lu pointed at the box on the dining table and said, "Well, keep these letters on the table. Li Chao just delivered them."

Another fan letter.

Li Chao collects and delivers them once a week, and this is the fifth time.

I sorted through them and found about seventy or eighty of them, a little more than before.

I picked one at random and opened it. Wow, it was a love letter from a high school student, with a photo. The student was a little fat, but very cute.

Is it so advanced?

Lu Jiang quickly put it back.

At first, Lu Jiang was actually very happy and touched by this kind of thing. He even planned to reply to the letter and pamper his fans when he had free time.

But after seeing it so many times, I became numb to it, and it’s not easy to throw it away, otherwise if someone sees it and exposes it, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

So now I can only pile it under the bed.

But I could see that there was almost no more room under the bed.

Lu Jiang’s desire to buy a house became even more urgent.

It is said that the fairy tale king Zheng Yuanjie bought ten houses specifically for storing letters from fans.

Lu Jiang used to think he was pretending, but now he completely understands.

So, time to unbox!

Burn incense, bathe, hold your breath and concentrate.

It’s 8:18 pm, the auspicious time has arrived.

Lu Jiang called with his mind and opened the white treasure chest first.

Soon, there was a flash of white light.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the white quality MV: "Our Time"]

Zhao Lei's "Our Time"!
The first draw is a big opener!
Lu Jiang was extremely excited.

This song can be considered a divine song.

With this and the two songs "Jiangnan", the next album is a sure thing.

But this MV seems a bit casual.

It turned out to be the "2023 Happy Taihang Valley Music Festival live edited version".

It’s white, so casual!
Then continue opening, the next one is a green treasure chest.

Lu Jiang, whose heart pressure suddenly decreased, directly chose to open three in a row!

The next second, three green lights flashed, and the golden finger sounded:
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the green quality MV: "Absolutely Infatuated"]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the green quality MV: "Twilight"]

Congratulations to the host for receiving the Green Quality MV: "Let Tears Turn into Love Rain"

"!!!"

Three more hit song-level songs!

It’s been done!

Lu Jiang swung his fist in the air and almost shouted.

"Absolutely Crazy", a hit song for backup singers, ranked in the top five in 02.

"Twilight", Xiaogang's representative work, is a hit.

The MVs of both are original versions, which are similar to the slideshow stream-of-consciousness short films like "Jiangnan".

Putting aside other things about the new album, just these two songs are enough to make it a sure success.

Then read "Let Tears Turn into Love Rain".

This MV is a bit similar to "Our Time", both are edited versions.

However, it is not a concert clip, but a clip of two movies, one is "One Life, One World" starring Gao Yuanyuan and Chef Xie, and the other is "If You Are the One".

Huh?
Isn’t this the edited version I saw on Bilibili in my previous life?
But I have to say that the editing of these two movies is really suitable for this song.

The reason why it can be defined as green is probably because it has more plot, but it is too fragmented, and those who have not seen the movie can only understand it roughly.

Probably because of this, this MV failed to become blue.

Lu Jiang had a thorough understanding of the Gold Fingers grading standards, and then continued to unpack.

Next are two blue treasure chests, both from Fan Binbin.

God bless you, and please give us two more divine songs!
Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the blue quality MV: "Maple"]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the blue quality MV: "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong"]

Awesome. Wait a minute!
Lu Jiang was halfway happy when he suddenly froze.

Because he soon discovered a problem.

"Maple" is okay, the song and MV are both original, the plot is coherent and very interesting, and the song is also a divine song, which perfectly matches the quality of Blue.

Although Lu Jiang only remembers the Fenghualian version
The same goes for "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong". The MV plot is coherent and it is a complete story.

But here's the thing.

How is this the Vietnamese version of a haircut?!
