HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 257 [257] Hong Kong Media: Shocking! A certain female star, to fulfill Qi's wish, actually...

The Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan are about to begin.

Qi Yuan's trip back to the mainland this time was quite fruitful.

He filmed two high-quality Chinese-style music videos, "Hua Tian Cuo" and "Susan Shuo," took album cover photos with Da Tian Tian, ​​and wrote three children's songs for Da Tian Tian. He earned 750,000 yuan from Da Tian Tian and Uncle Lu.

Qi Yuan discussed some details of "Bouquet" with Chen Kaige and set the start of filming in June or July.

Once the post-production is done, we can premiere it at the Tokyo International Film Festival at the end of October.

Knowing that Qi Yuan was going to enter the Japanese music scene, Chen Kaige wanted to give his die-hard fans a boost.

The allocation of film shares has changed. Qi Yuan's salary has increased too quickly, and plans can't keep up with changes, so the previous allocation scheme has been overturned.

Chen Kaige decided to redistribute the shares before filming began, because he wouldn't let Qi Yuan suffer any losses.

The male lead, Qi Yuan, had already been cast, and the female lead has now been officially confirmed as well. Qi Yuan and Chen Kaige both agreed to cast Fan Xiaopang.

Upon hearing the news, Fan Xiaopang was overjoyed and danced with delight.

When Fan Xiaopang ran into Li Bingbing at Starry Sky Film Company, who had just returned from filming "Young Justice Bao," his first words were: "How did you know I got the lead role in Director Chen's new movie?"

Li Bingbing's fists hardened.

Stop pretending! You'll regret it if you mess this up.

Unlike television series, movies magnify actors' micro-expressions and body movements on the big screen, and even minor flaws can be noticed by the audience, causing them to lose immersion in the story.

For Fan Xiaopang, this was both an opportunity and a risk.

A company is a company because it has rules.

If Fan Xiaopang messes up her performance, even if she goes to Qi Yuan's house for the New Year while heavily pregnant, she still won't be the female lead in Xingkong's next movie.

If you can't win people's hearts, you'll alienate them.

If morale is low, the team becomes difficult to manage. No boss would be that stupid, and neither would Qi Yuan.

Fan Xiaopang realized this point deeply. After showing off in front of Li Bingbing, she immediately went to Chang Jihong to discuss it.

Chang Jihong suggested that Fan Xiaopang take a break from work and find a teacher from the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama to give him some extra lessons.

She messed up her performance, and Li Bingbing really did become the top female star in the company.

……

Taiwan, Chung-Chieh Brokerage.

This is a company under Qiong Yao.

The news that Fan Xiaopang would play the female lead in "Bouquet" reached here.

It was Fan Xiaopang herself who posted it. She used to live here and suffered a lot of mistreatment. She was almost blacklisted by Qiong Yao.

Having finally stood up for herself, she was naturally going to give these people a good slap in the face.

She wanted to show those who said she would be a maid her whole life that she still retained some semblance of her former self.

She and Qi Yuan co-starred in a movie, directed by Chen Kaige, which is one of the top film resources in mainland China.

Can Zhao Yanzi get such resources? Can Lin Xinru get such resources?
Zhao Yanzi and Lin Xinru both had complicated feelings!

Poor Yao was also a little uncomfortable; in her opinion, Fan Xiaopang was provoking her!

Poor Yao said angrily, "Ungrateful! She'll always be just a lowly maid, never worth mentioning."

Poor Yao looked down on Fan Xiaopang from the bottom of his heart, but had a completely different opinion of Zhao Yanzi.

Later, Zhao Yanzi left Zhongjie. Qiong Yao praised Zhao Yanzi as her glory and said that he would still help Zhao Yanzi promote her movies after the contract expired.

“Little Swallow, you’re more famous than her now, you’ll be more famous than her in the future, and you’ll always be more famous than her. No matter how much you promote a maid, she’s still a maid. There’s an old saying that goes, some people don’t look like princes even when they wear dragon robes.” Zhao Yanzi nodded upon hearing this.

After Qiong Yao left, Zhao Yanzi took out her phone and called Huang Xiaoming.

"Xiaoming, you and Qiyuan will be graduating in July, right? They should be going back to school for the graduation ceremony, right?"

After starting filming, Zhao Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming, and Qi Yuan rarely returned to the Beijing Film Academy for classes. They would only go back to take exams at the end of the semester, and passing was all that mattered.

In this respect, the Beijing Film Academy is much more lenient than the Central Academy of Drama.

They were classmates, and Zhao Yanzi got a head start, receiving the role in "The Wild Princess's Search for Her Father" in her second year of university.

At that time, Zhao Yanzi was a bit arrogant, feeling that her classmates were no longer on the same level as her.

Surprisingly, the one who fared the best wasn't her, but Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan is now a new pop king in Asia, has started his own company and become a boss, and has one foot in the capital circle.

Therefore, maintaining the relationship is necessary. She has no choice but to cultivate a good relationship, because maybe she can collaborate with Qi Yuan on a movie in the future.

Didn't Huang Xiaoming recently get a role in a Hong Kong film alongside Qi Yuan? It was a Hong Kong film that was said to have an investment of 40 million, I think it was called "Infernal Affairs".

……

During the week or so that Qi Yuan returned to the mainland to film a music video, Zhang Shaohan's debut album, "Zhang Shaohan," was released.

The quality of this album is so high that it has left musicians in the industry speechless.

"Say I Love You," "The Main Song of Love," "That's Me," "Watch Me Change 72 Times," "The First Dream," and "True or False"—every song is a masterpiece.

The other four songs Warner helped collect were above average, half dance and half pop.

On the day of its release, the album sold 51200 copies in mainland China, 9731 copies in Hong Kong, and 30031 copies in Taiwan.

For a newcomer, this is a very encouraging achievement.

It's worth noting that the record market this year is even more challenging than last year; many people have stopped buying records and are now listening to music on MP3 players instead.

Upon receiving the battle report, Warner immediately ordered the factory to increase production.

Warner Music's marketing department made a prediction that the album could sell 150 million to 200 million copies during its sales period.

Zhang Shaohan officially became famous with this album.

These days, many places in Taiwan are playing Zhang Shaohan's songs, and you can hear "You are my big brother pig" everywhere.

Qi Yuan has once again proven that even if he focuses on working behind the scenes, he is still a top-notch producer.

[With the genius of Qi Yuan behind the scenes, Zhang Shaohan has transformed, debuting at number one on the weekly album sales chart]

From an unknown clothing store worker to a vibrant dancing girl! How did Qi Yuan take a liking to Zhang Shaohan, and how did he rewrite this young woman's destiny?

After gaining fame, Zhang Shaohan appeared on many programs and was interviewed by many media reporters. She expressed her gratitude to Qi Yuan on many occasions in public.

Zhang Shaohan also shared some behind-the-scenes stories of the creative process, intending to tell everyone that she worked very hard and that Qi Yuan put her heart into it.

"Mr. Qi is very strict with music. He won't accept anything even slightly off. During the time I was recording songs in Hong Kong, I was under so much pressure that I had an endocrine disorder! Fortunately, I did not disappoint Mr. Qi, nor did I disappoint the fans and the record company."

What was originally a very positive statement took on a completely different meaning after being reported by the Hong Kong media.

[Shocking! Zhang Shaohan almost stopped menstruating to fulfill Qi Yuan's wish!]

[Secret Rumor! Qi Yuan's 'hobby' caused Zhang Shaohan great torment]

Those readers who thought there was breaking news bought the newspaper and immediately started cursing!
Damn! You can't even do clickbait like this.

Qi Yuan, who had just returned to Taiwan, was completely bewildered: "???"
