HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 277 [277] Shocking! Qi Yuan actually likes to be a traitor?
Qi Yuan was taken aback. The lines Fan Xiaopang had just said sounded familiar; it was as if she had heard them somewhere before.

Since Fan Xiaopang is so eager to learn, Qi Yuan is willing to teach her.

Ironically, he had never sought out a foreign teacher to learn a foreign language, yet he himself became Fan Xiaopang's foreign language teacher.

Qi Yuan looked at her seriously and said, "Listen carefully, I'll demonstrate it for you."

Qi Yuan waved to his assistant, who then brought over the guitar.

When filming the Chinese version of "Bouquet," Qi Yuan made certain modifications to the character setting of the male lead.

The Japanese version's male protagonist aspires to be a cartoonist, which might seem a bit out of place in China in 2000.

Qi Yuan changed his identity to that of a struggling songwriter, whose dream was to become a musician. However, his songs were rejected hundreds of times, and he could only enter society as a laborer.

There are scenes in the film where Qi Yuan plays the guitar and composes songs, which is why there was a guitar on set.

This guitar is Qi Yuan's personal guitar. He used it in his previous concerts, so using it as a prop is a nice little surprise.

Fan Xiaopang's eyes lit up considerably. She had never heard Qi Yuan sing an English song before, and she was quite curious.

Qi Yuan took the guitar and began to play a song.

Fingertips pluck the strings, and gentle guitar notes flow slowly, creating a faintly melancholic atmosphere.

A good piece of music can be appreciated by audiences all over the world.

Fan Xiaopang could sense the restraint and deep emotion in this prelude.

"My life is brilliant, My love is pure, I saw an angel, Of that I'm sure..."

"You're beautiful, You're beautiful it's true, I saw your face in a crowded place..."

Qi Yuan took advantage of Li Wen's English proficiency and sang an English song with ease.

With his excellent English skills and top-notch singing ability, Qi Yuan delivered a fantastic performance. He conveyed feelings of melancholy, deep emotion, regret, and helplessness, leaving Fan Xiaopang completely stunned.

She never expected that Qi Yuan could sing English songs so well.

Qi Yuan wrote this song herself; she was determined to win over this talented man.

After finishing filming the night scene, I got off work.

Fan Xiaopang seized the opportunity and made a decisive move: "There are some parts of tomorrow's scene that I don't understand. Director Chen said that since you are the screenwriter, I can ask you for help first. I would like to learn some English from President Qi. Would it be convenient for you to teach me?"

This is no longer a hint, it's an explicit statement.

Qi Yuan has never cultivated an image of an innocent, carefree young man; his signing of Fan Xiaopang was also driven by some personal motives.

In a situation like this, not refusing is beastly, refusing is even worse than beastly.

Qi Yuan chose the former without hesitation.

Upon entering Qi Yuan's hotel suite, Fan Xiaopang's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice.

"Big stars are just different. Even though we're staying at the same hotel, your room is so much better than ours."

Qi Yuan's apartment was incredibly expensive in 2000, costing over a thousand yuan a day, which was more than a month's salary for an average person.

Fan Xiaopang didn't receive such good treatment.

That's why the entertainment industry is said to be the most feudal place, with a strict hierarchy and different treatment for each level.

Qi Yuan was already being very low-key; he didn't ask the production team for any special treatment, and everything was arranged by the production team.

Years later, when Zhang Yingmou was filming "Curse of the Golden Flower," an actor requested that the crew provide a 10-meter-long luxury RV, which cost between 5000 and 20000 yuan per day to rent.

This RV was simply for the convenience of an actor to use the restroom.

Zhang Weiping was so upset that he accused the actor of openly acting like a diva and said that the crew could do either him or him. Spending an extra ten or twenty thousand yuan a day just to use the restroom is a bit outrageous; anyone would be furious in that situation. It's not like there aren't restrooms at the film studio.

"I have faith in you. If you work hard, you can stay in a better hotel suite in the future."

Qi Yuan smiled and said.

In her previous life, Fan Xiaopang was ranked number one on the Forbes list of celebrities for many years, a true rich woman, and she could live in a suite like this every day without any problem.

"It's too late later. I want to stay here now, and I want to stay here every day."

Fan Xiaopang makes no secret of his ambition.

Recently, the media has been digging into how much money Qi Yuan made from "Infernal Affairs". Fan Xiaopang bought more than a dozen newspapers to study Qi Yuan's net worth.

In conclusion, "Infernal Affairs" could bring Qi Yuan a net profit of 20 to 30 million yuan. Combined with Qi Yuan's previous income, his net worth may have reached 200 million yuan.

This doesn't even include the subsequent revenue from "Hua Wuque," and Fan Xiaopang was unaware that Qi Yuan was entitled to a share of the profits from Li Wen's globally popular English single.

Anyway, Qi Yuan's apparent wealth has already made Fan Xiaopang a little envious.

Her growing enthusiasm for Qi Yuan during this period was undoubtedly partly due to this reason.

Fan Xiaopang became increasingly frustrated.

Gao Yuanyuan is incompetent. What can she do besides have a pretty face? So what if she was lucky enough to snag Qi Yuan, a potential stock? Can she stop that bunch of vixens outside?
Given Gao Yuanyuan's personality, even if that vixen came knocking on her door with her child one day, she probably wouldn't utter a sound.

Fan Xiaopang felt that he had really worried himself sick over this family.

Yes, she came to join this family, not to break it up, that's what she told herself.

However, she should be the one to sit in the position of the main wife of the West Palace. At worst, she can appoint Gao Yuanyuan as the "Crown Princess" in the future, and then return the position to Gao Yuanyuan after she passes away. Isn't that reasonable?
With a smile in his eyes, Fan Xiaopang poured Qi Yuan a cup of hot water and then asked Qi Yuan what the lyrics of the song she sang during the day meant.

"Simply because you are too beautiful."

"what?"

Fan Xiaopang blushed slightly. Was he really that direct? She asked about the lyrics, and Qi Yuan directly complimented her beauty.

Qi Yuan could tell from the girl's expression that she was being narcissistic again, so he had no choice but to translate the lyrics line by line in a serious manner.

The male protagonist meets the beautiful female protagonist on the subway, and there is a man standing next to the woman.

The male protagonist decided to give up.

The female lead is so beautiful that the male lead feels deep regret for not being able to be with her.

The lyrics of the chorus, translated into Chinese, are: 'You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful, you are naturally beautiful, it's true, I once glimpsed your face in a crowded place, and it left me speechless.'

To sum it up in one sentence, isn't it simply 'because you're too beautiful'? It definitely wasn't because Qi Yuan accidentally showed her little chicken feet.

"Oh, I see. So you like married women, is that right?"

Fan Xiaopang's focus is quite unique.

She stared at Qi Yuan with a suspicious look, becoming even more convinced of her judgment.

Qi Yuan saw a beautiful married woman, but she was already married. Qi Yuan didn't dare to pursue her, yet he couldn't forget her. This inspired him to write this song.

She had figured out Qi Yuan's tastes quite well. She never expected that Qi Yuan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a thing in mind. He really wasn't a decent person.

"..."

Qi Yuan was speechless. The way this woman was looking at him was strange. Could she really have misunderstood him?
Is he the kind of person who would betray Cao Cao? Who is he slandering?
