Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 62 When love is a thing of the past

In a restaurant's private room, except for Cao Jian, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, it can be said that all the people are popular stars.

Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, and the famous fifth-generation new director from the mainland, Chen Kaige.

However, at this moment, all these people's eyes were looking at the newcomer Cao Jian.

Today Chen Kaige came to find Zhang Guorong to film "Farewell My Concubine", but he didn't expect that a young man would actually say that he would help him write the theme song for the new movie?

And you came up with the song so quickly?

Don't try to fool me with just any crappy song.

Otherwise, even if you are Mei Yanfang's gigolo, I won't want you.

Mei Yanfang whispered to Cao Jian, "So soon? Why don't you go back and think about it?"

She didn't want Cao Jian to embarrass himself, after all, she had just recommended him.

"Need not."

It feels good to pretend to be cool, so keep pretending. Cao Jian decided to pretend in front of Director Chen.

Who told you to look at me in the wrong way just now?

Who made you think I'm a gigolo?

The most satisfying thing is to slap someone in the face, especially Chen Kaige. He even wants to grab the other person's clothes and beat him while cursing: "I will let you down Ni Ping, I will let you down Ni Ping"

He immediately said to Zhang Xueyou: "Brother Xueyou, you should have brought some musical notation paper, right?"

"Bring it."

Zhang Xueyou loves to sing and he also writes when inspiration strikes. Of course, he asks his assistant to carry some musical notation paper for writing songs.

"Do you really want to write now?"

Although everyone has heard Cao Jian's songs, they have never seen Cao Jian write songs.

"Ok?"

Just as Cao Jian started writing, Mei Yanfang couldn't help but express her concern.

"hehe."

Cao Jian just smiled and wrote down the music score on paper in front of everyone.

After that, he pretended to ponder for a moment before filling in the lyrics.

With this song, I can also leave a big mark in classic movies.

During the entire process, Chen Kaige only smoked two cigarettes.

"Really that fast?"

When Cao Jian finished writing the song, everyone was still shocked by its speed.

"It's done!"

Cao Jian threw the pen on the table handsomely: "Sister Mei, please give me some advice and see if there is any problem."

"it is good."

Mei Yanfang didn't hesitate and looked at it herself first. If it was good, she would give it to Chen Kaige.

"When Love Has Gone, the name is quite good, it really is a novel."

Seeing the title of the song, Mei Yanfang felt half relieved. After hearing the melody, a heavy feeling seemed to flow out from the bottom of her heart, just like a pair of lovers who had experienced setbacks and were talking to each other.

After watching the song, she once again looked at the young man she had just met today with admiration.

I wanted to help him before because he was good-looking and I had a good impression of him.

I want to help him even more now because this young man's talent has exceeded my imagination.

"It's so well written."

After reading it, Mei Yanfang sighed softly and handed the song to Zhang Guorong, then Zhang Xueyou and Li Ming.

“How well a young man can write.”

Chen Kai didn't believe it at all, and secretly thought: "That's your little white face, so you say that."

After watching it, several people couldn't believe that such a song was written in just twenty minutes in front of everyone.

People say that James Wong wrote "The Bund" quickly, but James Wong only wrote the lyrics, and the music was written by another great writer, Gu Jiahui.

Now it only took Cao Jian a while to compose the music and write the lyrics.

“Is the song good?”

Chen Kaige has been looking at everyone's expressions and found that everyone has strange eyes, as if they are sighing, as if they are in disbelief. Finally, he couldn't help but wonder, is the song really well written?
Instead of Mei Yanfang saying this on purpose to praise her pretty boy?
"Let me see."

Although everyone approves of it, Chen Kaige feels that this is the theme song of his own movie, and just because you think it's good doesn't necessarily mean it's really good.

But after reading it, he secretly uttered a sentence in his heart: "Although I don't want to admit it, this Cao Jian is indeed very talented, but no matter what, he is also a talented pretty boy!"

Since everyone thought the song was good, the next question was who should sing it. Although Cao Jian was young, after writing this song, no one present, including Zhang Xueyou, could underestimate him.

He then held up the music and said, "Sister Mei, this song can be sung solo or in duet. I'll leave the solo to Brother Guorong as it will be the theme song for the movie. As for the duet, the female vocals will be up to you."

After saying that, he added: "Today is the first time we meet, so this song is my gift to you."

This is our boss Cao. His consistent principle is that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child, and you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your wife.
I can't leave my wife.

However, there are plenty of songs.

Hearing Cao Jian's words, Chen Kaige was stunned for a moment: "First time meeting? Not a gigolo?"

But then he thought, "Such a good song, and he gave it away just like that. It seems he did it to please Mei Yanfang. He really has the potential to be a gigolo."

In fact, I have been extremely jealous for a long time.

Mei Yanfang didn't expect Cao Jian to say that. She was very happy and said with a smile, "Since my brother has already sung solo, why don't we sing together?"

"Then I'll try. I hope Sister Mei can give me some guidance."

"Easy to say."

Mei Yanfang was even happier. This young man, Cao Jian, was quite likable.

As for the licensing fee for this song to "Farewell My Concubine", Cao Jian finally asked for 100,000.

And promised to donate the money to the East China flood relief.

As a result, Chen Kaige felt that Cao Jian's offer was a bit high and was a little reluctant.

However, he never expressed any intention to donate money from beginning to end.

After dinner, Cao Jian, Li Ming and others prepared to return to the company.

Mei Yanfang saw Cao Jian was about to take Zhang Xueyou's car, so she said, "Ajian, how about I give you a ride?"

"Okay, thank you Sister Mei."

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

After a while, a silver Porsche 911 stopped next to Cao Jian.

“Nice car!”

This was the first time Cao Jian had seen such a nice car since his rebirth. He said goodbye to everyone and sat directly in the passenger seat.

"Bah! Pretty boy!"

As Chen Kaige was about to return to the hotel, he spat at the sports car that was whizzing away.

In the car, Mei Yanfang held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a pack of cigarettes: "Want to smoke?"

"Have one."

Although it was a ladies' cigarette, Cao Jian was not polite and took out one and just lit it. Unexpectedly, Mei Yanfang took the lit cigarette from Cao Jian's mouth and put it in her own mouth without any hesitation.

"call"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Mei Yanfang smiled and said, "I'm driving, it's not easy to light up."

The two actually just met today, and this action made people have to make associations.

"Are you really going to let me be a gigolo?"

Cao Jian lit another cigarette for himself, feeling a little skeptical.

It also reminds him of Zhao Wenzhuo
However, if I can really establish a good relationship with Mei Yanfang, it might be easier for me to set up an entertainment company in the future.

After all, Anita Mui was able to call on more than 200 artists from across Hong Kong to participate in charity performances, so one can imagine her status.

And here I really need someone to rely on.

Just build good relationships.
Should I take it slow or be a gigolo?
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Mei Yanfang say, "Ajian, can you drive?"

"I can drive in the mainland, but here we drive on the left. I don't have a driver's license yet, but I'm preparing to get one."

"Oh."

Mei Yanfang then asked, "You look like you have a good figure. Have you ever practiced Kung Fu before?"

Cao Jian didn't know why he was asked this, but he answered honestly: "I learned a little, just for fun."

He had practiced Changquan, Paochui and other martial arts routines before, but they were all fancy moves.

"Very powerful ah."

But Mei Yanfang couldn't help but praise it.

He is good-looking and talented, and I didn't expect he also knows martial arts. It would be strange if he doesn't develop well in Hong Kong.

She immediately said, "Come on, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, I'll take you somewhere."

"I am fine."

Cao Jian thought something was going to happen, but what he didn't expect was that the sports car came directly to a movie set.
