Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

In the end, Xie Xingyan sought help from Huang Yingying to resolve this foolish matter. Huang Yingying contacted the organizing committee and managed to suppress the erroneous decision made by some of the higher-ups at Huancai.

As a result, Huancai officially split into three factions. Xie Xingyan and Wen Qing and Wen Qiyue became enemies, and the two factions were at odds.

These two groups correspond to the veteran singers of Fantasy Colors and the new singers who have joined in recent years.

There is another faction that belongs to the middle, neither influencing nor being influenced by either side. Zhou Lehui belongs to the middle faction.

The Olympics proceeded as scheduled. During the Olympics, the top management of Huancai dared not make any rash moves, but they certainly regarded Xie Xingyan as a disobedient thorn in their side.

The nails naturally need to be dealt with; either they should be pulled out or broken.

Huan Cai's coercion of Xie Xingyan is different from Dong Siming's coercion of Gu Zhoubai. The latter was to squeeze the other party's commercial value dry in the short term, while the former was more like ignoring everything and not caring about anything. However, according to the contract, the money Xie Xingyan earned still had to be shared with the company.

He seems to have been "shelved," but then again, he may not have.

"I'm negotiating with the leadership. I signed a five-year contract with Huancai, from 2027 to 2031," Xie Xingyan smiled at Ling Wushuang, who had returned to China, and said that this was a five-year plan. But who knew that plans could not keep up with changes? Several S-level original songs appeared in succession, making him a hot commodity in the music industry.

"The money from the album has already been distributed. I told my boss that I will write new songs in the second half of the year and release a new album next year. If I can earn 30 billion for the company within a year, I hope to change the contract term to three years. If not, I am willing to extend the contract term to ten years."

Ling Wushuang asked in surprise, "You signed a betting agreement with Huancai?"

He was amazed by the young man's boldness.

Xie Xingyan shrugged: "There's no way around it. If artists want to gain a voice, they always have to do something earth-shattering."

Ling Wushuang frowned: "Your first album was a great success because of perfect timing, location, and people. What are your plans for the second album? Will you continue to collaborate with Lin Sen and the others? That Mr. Jin provided twenty songs last time, I'm afraid this time..."

Although Ling Wushuang had never met Elias King, she had obtained his international contact number. After several calls, they discussed copyright fees, and she could sense that he was a man of few words and quiet nature.

Even the most talented person can only write twenty songs a year, right?

Take Xie Xingyan, for example. Didn't he progress from having one high-quality song a year to having two or three high-quality songs a year?

Xie Xingyan pursed her lips and sent over five new songs she had written in the past six months.

These songs were almost all born on that rainy night.

So… “All love songs?” Ling Wushuang looked at the lyrics, her expression indescribable.

Xie Xingyan dared not speak.

His creative inspiration doesn't come from nowhere; it comes from the people around him. The more emotional feedback someone gives him, the more inspiration he captures.

Faced with Ling Wushuang's teasing gaze, Xie Xingyan retorted stubbornly, "If I don't write cheesy love songs when I'm young, am I supposed to wait until I'm seventy or eighty to write them?"

Ling Wushuang stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"That seems true, but... why did Xiheng only make one romance film and then stop making romance films? And his new movie, it's supposed to be a European film, but it's still using an obscure subject..."

Xie Xingyan was completely confused.

"Has he finished writing the script for his new movie? What's the subject matter?"

Ling Wushuang nodded: "The legal trial film is called 'Mock Trial'."

……

These days, it's not easy to write scripts that require a high level of expertise.

However, these kinds of movies are much easier to make compared to movies with constantly changing scenes.

In order to reduce the pressure on Lin Tang and other crew members, Jiangxi Heng thought long and hard and chose a film subject that is very niche in the history of film.

"President Jiang, as you instructed, I took the entire crew to watch a legal trial film from seventy years ago. I think the script you provided is even more brilliant! We're sure we can make an even better film!"

Lin Tang seemed to have returned to the time when he joined Universe and filmed his first movie, "New Life," and was extremely excited.

Jiangxi Heng glanced at him and said, "Seventy years ago, world cinema was just starting out. These kinds of films were basically shot in one location, so if the scene didn't change, the audience would easily get bored. You need to learn to make some shots interesting, instead of just presenting the content in the script."

That's something any ordinary director can do; if the script and storyboards are detailed enough, even a new director can do it.

After all, wasn't Lin Tang's first film completed with detailed storyboards for "New Life"?

A truly great director can keep the audience glued to the screen even if they spend two hours presenting the content of just one room.

Lin Tang exclaimed, "President Jiang, you also know how to direct!"

Jiangxi Heng casually remarked, "Isn't it normal for actors to become directors?"

Lin Tang touched his hair: "That's true."

Wait a minute, is President Jiang praising his own acting skills? He really is… right!

"This film needs twelve main characters in an ensemble cast. Go and contact suitable actors," Jiangxi Heng waved his hand. "There aren't many actors in China willing to go abroad to film. You can choose from Chinese actors who have already gone abroad."

Lin Tang agreed, as assembling a production crew is not something that can be done overnight, especially for a large-scale production.

Late August is fast approaching, which means the results of the major domestic film and television awards have been announced.

Jiangxi Hengren is not in China and is unaware that this year's Silver Camellia Award has caused a fight between "Breaking Illusions", "Qin Xiaodong's Troubles", and "Running"!

Of these three films, the first two were high-grossing films during the Lunar New Year season, while the latter was a hugely popular film during the summer vacation, boasting high reputation, high ratings, and high box office returns.

Giving the Best Picture award to any of them would seem like a disservice to the other two.

After much discussion, the organizing committee finally contacted the organizers of the Golden Peony and Bronze Begonia Awards, which are also held in August.

The Bronze Begonia Awards stated, "Jiang Xiheng already won Best Actor last year for 'Pity,' and although 'Running' is a sports film, it is still somewhat different from a true art film, so it will not be included this year."

The Golden Peony Award is backed by the state, and its judges are all bigwigs, making it very aloof.

If "Running Man" hadn't become associated with the Olympics, they wouldn't have broken the rules and "exchanged resources" with the Silver Camellia Award.

"The higher-ups still have high hopes for 'Running Man'..." came the vague answer.

The organizers of the Silver Camellia Award said they "understood".

"Then let's award Best Picture to 'Qin Xiaodong's Troubles.' The two leads in this film are still a bit inexperienced; let them hone their skills for a few more years. In that case, how about this year's Silver Camellia Award for Best Actor goes to Jiangxi Heng, who plays Cang Ling in 'Breaking Illusions'?"
