HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 278 [278] Warm-up for the fourth album, concerts go international

Fan Xiaopang consulted Qi Yuan about scripts and English, showing a very serious attitude towards learning.

She even became addicted to learning and refused to leave Qi Yuan's room.

If she had been this diligent when she was in school, getting into Tsinghua University wouldn't have been a problem.

"Mr. Qi, we might be filming a bed scene in a few days. I've never filmed a bed scene before, so why don't you rehearse with me?"

Fan Xiaopang has a sweet voice.

It's rare to find such a studious actress in the crew. As the lead actor, Qi Yuan's willingness to guide and help the actress improve is also for the sake of the film and its investors.

He reluctantly agreed to Fan Xiaopang's request, because he was a responsible person towards investors.

By the way, although the sex scenes in "Bouquet" are not very explicit, there are still kissing and cheek-kissing scenes.

To avoid wasting film by reshooting mistakes, Qi Yuan and Fan Xiaopang rehearsed these scenes many times.

Finally, Qi Yuan added English, having Fan Xiaopang recite English words in English, so that rehearsals and learning English could be done at the same time.

More than an hour later.

Fan Xiaopang sat on the edge of the bed, threw a pillow at Qi Yuan, and glared at him fiercely.

"Why don't you go to America and find a real English teacher to read English words to you?"

Qi Yuan never smokes; he's a singer and needs to protect his voice.

At this moment, he had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it; he just wanted the feeling.

"You'll improve quickly by practicing a few words repeatedly. If you don't believe me, read those words again and see for yourself if they sound more standard."

Qi Yuan retorted in a serious tone.

"Also, you didn't resist when I asked you to read English words earlier. I could tell you were enjoying it."

"..."

Fan Xiaopang was both ashamed and angry, wishing he could punch Qi Yuan twice.

She recalled the audition she had just experienced. Was she not resisting? No, she couldn't resist.

She finally understood why Gao Yuanyuan liked Qi Yuan so much.

Gao Yuanyuan is very tight-lipped; she ate so well, but didn't say a word about it.

……

the next day.

Fan Xiaopang dragged his somewhat tired body to the film set to shoot.

Despite looking a little tired, she was getting into the swing of things during filming.

Especially when filming romantic scenes with Qi Yuan, their eyes, micro-expressions, and body language made it seem like they were really in love.

Li Xue has just arrived in Shanghai.

After watching several scenes between Qi Yuan and Fan Xiaopang, Li Xue was amazed.

She quickly turned around and walked outside, calling Li Bingbing: "Sister, can you find out which teacher Fan Xiaopang is learning acting from? He's improved so much."

I just arrived here and watched a few shows, and I feel that her acting skills are a notch above yours.

If necessary, you can also learn from that teacher later.

Li Bingbing: "..."

Has Fan Xiaopang's acting surpassed hers?

Has he finally figured it out?

In the acting industry, there's a saying that something can "come to your senses."

Zhang Manyu, who is currently known for her good acting skills in the film industry, is a typical example. In her early days, she was just a pretty face with no acting skills to speak of.

Later, after filming Wong Kar-wai's "As Tears Go By," he suddenly had an epiphany.

Even more incredible than unlocking one's full potential, she swept the Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Berlin International Film Festival's Best Actress awards in just a few years. Li Bingbing was a little worried.

Fan Xiaopang is already prettier than her. If she really gets the hang of it, and "The Bouquet" becomes a box office hit, and her character is well-received, will she even need to work? Won't Fan Xiaopang take all the good resources available to her?

Li Bingbing was getting anxious. Could her younger sister really win over Qi Yuan? If not, she might as well fight in her sister's place.

Fortunately, Fan Xiaopang's performance afterwards relieved Li Xue.

When Fan Xiaopang filmed the scene where she was arguing with Qi Yuan, her acting skills immediately dropped significantly, returning to her true level.

Fan Xiaopang and Qi Yuan didn't argue or have any disagreements, so they couldn't just play themselves.

Wait a minute... Fan Xiaopang and Qi Yuan's acting improved when filming affectionate scenes, but declined when filming arguing and cold war scenes. Li Xue vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Li Xue didn't have time to think too much about it; she was also very busy with work and only had time to come to Shanghai today.

Li Xue brought Qi Yuan several pieces of news.

Da Tian Tian's nursery rhymes have become somewhat popular in various parts of the country, but nursery rhymes are often more popular than the singers themselves.

Nursery rhymes are intended for children, and children don't idolize celebrities; they might not even know what the term "idol idolizing" means.

Students and adults who follow celebrities wouldn't follow an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

Uncle Lu's decision to have Da Tian Tian sing on TV doesn't really mean much; at most, some uncles, aunts, and older sisters might think Da Tian Tian is quite cute.

Qi Yuan asked Li Xue to tell Uncle Lu not to waste money on so much publicity; it's enough if the song becomes popular and leaves an impression.

Jing Tian is so young. To be honest, even if she becomes famous, there's not much she can do. She'll still have to learn dance, won't she? If she can't maintain her exposure, people will forget about her in a year or two.

Qi Yuan didn't expect to make Da Tiantian famous overnight; that's unrealistic.

First, use nursery rhymes to leave an impression on people. When Da Tian Tian grows up a bit, she can debut in some popular TV dramas.

When the audience sees her, they will naturally think of the little girl who sang nursery rhymes, and she will gradually become famous.

Once she has established herself in television and gained a certain level of national recognition, Jing Tian can then move into the film industry.

This is the right way to make Jing Tian famous.

The second piece of news brought by Li Xue.

"Hua Wuque" will be broadcast simultaneously on three satellite TV channels in Shandong, Jiangsu and Beijing on July 30.

The third piece of news is that Qi Yuan's fourth album, "As You Wish," has completed post-production. Zhou Jianhui hopes that Qi Yuan can finish filming as soon as possible and release the fourth album in Taiwan.

In addition, Warner Bros. helped Qi Yuan apply for several large venues.

Following the release of his fourth album, Qi Yuan will embark on his second large-scale solo concert tour.

This time, Qi Yuan's tour will not only cover the three regions of mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

It includes regions such as Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Thailand.

Qi Yuan himself has never promoted his work abroad, but Warner Music has helped him promote it overseas. His first three albums sold well in East Asian countries with large Chinese populations.

Award ceremonies in regions such as Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea have presented Qi Yuan with numerous trophies, which were always collected by Warner Music staff on his behalf.

This time, Qi Yuan's concert will go abroad.

Qi Yuan's second large-scale tour concert is themed "Peerless Hero".

After Li Xue told Qi Yuan about the packed schedule for the second half of the year, Qi Yuan felt a little numb.

The second half of 2000 was a period of he was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

……

Taiwan Warner.

Zhou Jianhui gave instructions to the publicity department to start promoting Qi Yuan's fourth Chinese album.

Li Xue just gave him a definite answer. It is expected that Qi Yuan will be able to finish filming by the beginning of August, and then Qi Yuan will come directly to Taiwan.

Warner Music had just started its promotional campaign when a group of record companies and singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan privately started cursing.

Not long after Zhang Shaohan and Sun Yanzi burst onto the scene, this bastard surnamed Qi is coming again. Does he not want people to live?
