HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 94 [094] What? Chen Kaige was the director of photography for "Jiangnan" and "Dongfeng Po"?
Hong Kong, June 5.

The movie "Young and Dangerous: The Prequel," starring Nicholas Tse, was released, and Shu Qi and Wu Zhenyu helped boost his popularity.

However, the series' reputation had already been ruined by the previous sequels, and the Hong Kong film market was in a slump due to the financial crisis.

The movie flopped at the box office as soon as it was released.

If the box office is bad, they'll praise his acting talent. Yinghuang is also heavily promoting the songs that Nicholas Tse sang for the movie.

The labels of acting genius and musical prodigy have been attached to Nicholas Tse by countless media outlets.

For a time, Nicholas Tse became the most watched person in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

But the tide soon turned. News of Qi Yuan winning three Golden Melody Awards spread throughout Hong Kong with the help of Warner Music, instantly stealing the spotlight from Nicholas Tse.

You could only win the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards, and you even shared it with Qi Yuan.

Aren't you as famous as Qi Yuan?
Qi Yuan has already dominated the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. If you're so capable, why don't you go and try your luck at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and see if any major awards outside of Hong Kong will even acknowledge you?

Is the heiress offering betrothal gifts to marry a younger man?

The incident of Chen Huilin giving Qi Yuan an expensive watch has been exposed.

Celebrity gossip and scandals are often the most attractive.

The protagonist of Hong Kong newspapers has quietly changed to Qi Yuan.

"Fengzai, let's not be discouraged. Qi Yuan is too popular right now. Let's continue to avoid his sharp edge. Everything will be alright once your Mandarin album and next new movie are released," Huo Wenxi comforted her.

"Mani, tell me the truth, will my avoidance of Qi Yuan last a lifetime?" Xie Tingfeng was on the verge of collapse!

……

Mainland China.

The news of Chi Yuan winning three Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan was widely reported by the media and even appeared on television news.

Several television stations, including Guangdong TV and Beijing TV, reported on Qi Yuan's award in their social news programs, praising him as a leading figure and a source of pride for the mainland music scene.

Nayoung was frustrated. Hadn't her record company told her that there were no strong competitors releasing new albums recently, and no one could steal her thunder?
What's wrong with Qi Yuan? Why does he keep stealing her thunder every now and then?

The press release announcing her album sales surpassing one million was mercilessly overshadowed by Qi Yuan's three Golden Melody Awards.

With the help of television stations and media, several songs from Qi Yuan's debut album once again entered the hot song charts, knocking Na Ying's "No Matter How Bitter" and "Dream Awakened" out of the top ten.

You should know that those songs were released at the end of last year.

at the same time.

Qi Yuan returned to Shenzhen with her MV shooting team, and Fan Xiaopang was also on the team.

Qi Yuan informed Qiong Yao, and Qiong Yao agreed to release the person.

After arriving in Shenzhen, Qi Yuan and Xiao Maju had a meal together, and the filming of the music video for "Romantic Love" began.

Qi Yuan asked Little Pony and his team to get several computers with a beta version of OICQ installed.

The current OICQ is not mature enough and has some bugs, but it is sufficient for shooting music videos.

The music video opens with Fan Xiaopang sitting in front of a computer at an internet cafe, the screen displaying an OICQ chat window. Fan Xiaopang is sending several messages to someone with the screen name 'Star Wish'. One of the messages is: 'Why aren't you replying?'

We used to be in Class 2, Grade 3 together.

We are classmates.

Xingyuan Yuqi replied, "You might have added the wrong number. I don't know you."

The story of the music video begins with adding the wrong account.

Fan Xiaopang thought Qi Yuan was her high school classmate and had added the wrong person.

As they chatted, they got along quite well, and Fan Xiaopang started sending Qi Yuan some selfies from her daily life.

Every time Qi Yuan turned on her computer and saw the message from Fan Xiaopang, the corners of her mouth would turn up in a smile.

Then the two met in person.

Qi Yuan: "You're polite?"

Fan Xiaopang: "I know, you must be Xingyuan Yuqi."

The two began a sweet romance, holding hands by the river, strolling through amusement parks, and riding bicycles together...

In short, this is a music video that's sweet from beginning to end.

Qi Yuan slightly modified the opening scene of the music video.

The original version begins with a Hong Kong girl calling to ask why he doesn't want her, giving the impression that the male lead is a sucker.

Qi Yuan made a slight change, making it seem like the woman had added the wrong number, thus making the online romance even more perfect.

The male online friend is Qi Yuan, and the female online friend is a youthful version of Fan Xiaopang.

Qi Yuan couldn't even imagine how many people would feel the urge to download OICQ and start an online romance after watching this music video.

Then... he met Little Pony, a brooding guy pretending to be a female online friend.

After staying in Shenzhen for three days and finishing filming the music video for "Romantic Love," Qi Yuan sent Fan Xiaopang back to Taiwan and then led the team north to Jiangsu Province.

Before setting off, Qi Yuan received a call from Chen Hong.

"Sister Hong."

“Ah Yuan, I saw in the news that you’ve returned to the mainland and are going to shoot two music videos showcasing the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. Lao Chen and I are at the Qin Palace in Hengdian, Zhejiang Province. Why don’t you come here to film? Lao Chen would like to meet you. He said he can give your filming team some pointers.”

Qi Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Chen Kaige personally served as the director of photography? Then his films "Dong Feng Po" and "Jiang Nan" must have been terrible.

Chen Kaige's shortcomings have always been his plots; people criticize his scripts, but no one has ever criticized his cinematography, visuals, or color palette.

Fortunately, the music video didn't require any plot, which put Chen Kaige in his comfort zone.

The MV director who came from Taiwan was also shocked when he found out. He was just a MV director, how could he possibly get on-site guidance from a top director like Chen Kaige?

With Chen Hong's phone call, Qi Yuan didn't need to think anymore and immediately took his team to board a plane to Zhejiang Province.
