Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 77 The Heroine of Shinjuku, Tang's Charm

Seeing that Jackie Chan seemed somewhat interested, Shen Gongbao continued, "We can also add talent shows, for example, showing off one's talent could earn one more penalty kick."

Or you could play a role-playing soccer game.

Everyone has their own role and abilities on the field. For example, Mr. Chen can play the role of Green Arrow. Whoever the football hits will turn green.

In short, it combines football with various mini-games, reducing the competitive aspect and increasing the fun.

This is both safe and fun, and everyone feels very involved.

Jackie Chan nodded and said, "OK, your idea is good. Let's prepare for this plan."

According to the above arrangements, the event should take place during this year's National Day holiday, and the location is estimated to be Hong Kong Island.

I've been quite busy lately. Rush Hour 3 is about to be released, and I'll be traveling around promoting it.

So please put some effort into this event and help with the planning.

Chen Guanxi was very surprised to see that Jackie Chan spoke to Shen Gongbao in a consultative tone.

He could sense that Jackie Chan treated Shen Gongbao like a friend of equal standing.

But then Jackie Chan said, "The Shinjuku Incident is scheduled to start filming in early November. Remember to schedule your time."

Everyone's saying you know feng shui now, how about you do a divination for the Shinjuku Incident and see when would be the best time to start filming?

Jackie Chan did not personally witness Shen Gongbao's fortune-telling, but the news that Wu Yusen had no descendants spread so widely that Jackie Chan also heard about it.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Gongbao said, "Let's leave the auspicious day for starting the project to a professional feng shui master. I do have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"Now that Xu Jinglei's reputation has collapsed, she definitely can't play the other female lead, Xiuxiu. It would be better to let Lin Zhiling play the role."

In their previous lives, the two female protagonists of the Shinjuku Incident were Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing.

After investing in Snow Leopard Studio, Jackie Chan increased his investment in mainland China and participated in the construction of the Yinghuang Group Building.

In addition, just like in his previous life, he founded Bona Film Group and invested in Fan Bingbing's studio together with Huayi Brothers.

Therefore, Fan Bingbing naturally got the lead role in the Shinjuku Incident.

However, Xu Jinglei's image as a talented woman has collapsed and her reputation is basically ruined, making it impossible for her to get the role of Xiuxiu again.

"Lin Chih-ling?" Jackie Chan was very surprised to hear Shen Gongbao's recommendation, and even asked directly, "When did this woman get into your bed?"

It must be said that Jackie Chan speaks very directly.

For Shen Gongbao, if he were to go to Japan to cause trouble, he would definitely need to bring along some helpers.

Lin Chih-ling is now his loyal follower, and taking her along can accomplish more.

After all, she is Kurosawa Shirei, destined to have a connection with Japan.

Jackie Chan was unaware of these things. He felt that Shen Gongbao had nothing to do with Lin Chih-ling, yet he was now fighting for resources for Lin Chih-ling, which could only mean that they had a brief affair on the set of Red Cliff.

Shen Gongbao explained, "Lin Chih-ling has the support of Japanese and Taiwanese capital, which is beneficial for us to film the Shinjuku Incident."

Xiuxiu is a mute girl who marries the boss of a Japanese yakuza gang. This role is very suitable for Lin Chih-ling, and her performance will be excellent.

As for the deeper reasons, we'll discuss them privately.

Shen Gongbao's private rhetoric still started with feng shui.

He wanted to give Jackie Chan a heads-up, telling him that the movie "Shinjuku Incident" would be very bumpy.

However, there were many people at the dinner party, and Shen Gongbao didn't want to talk too much.

Jackie Chan nodded and said, "Okay, I can make the decision. We'll talk about it later."

After everyone finished their meal, they chatted and drank tea together until 2:30 p.m., when Jackie Chan had to catch his flight and the party ended.

Shen Gongbao made plans to visit Teacher Chen on Hong Kong Island later, and then rushed to the recording studio to continue recording the song.

As soon as I got back to the recording studio, I heard Jing Tian singing.

"Plum blossoms fall, butterflies fly, orchid fingers, for whom do they pluck them? — A touch of crimson on the lips, a furrowed brow, pointing to the small bridge and the flowing water to the east —"

This is the single "Who Are You" that Zhang Yadong produced for Jing Tian.

To be honest, although the melody of this song is a bit old, the overall quality is still okay, and it's quite catchy.

However, Jing Tian's singing level is really not good. Not only are her pitch and breath control skills lacking, but her vocal cord function is also not very good, and her voice is not very distinctive.

The song was even sung a little off-key.

Liu Yifei and Li Yitong, who were standing to the side, both had smiles on their faces after hearing Jing Tian's singing.

People's self-confidence is based on comparison.

Originally, Shen Gongbao had very strict requirements and was extremely harsh on Liu Yifei and Li Yitong, criticizing them continuously during the morning recording session.

This made both beauties lose confidence.

Now that Jing Tian has spoken, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong feel like they're in charge again!

After Jing Tian finished singing, she saw Shen Gongbao return and excitedly boasted, "How was it, Brother Dao? I sang pretty well, right?"

Look how happy Sisi and Xiaoxue are!

They must think I'm amazing and are happy for me!

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei and Li Yitong burst out laughing.

Shen Gongbao shook his head, not answering Jing Tian's question, but instead turning to question Zhang Yadong.

"Jing Tian's pitch is so obviously off-key, aren't you going to fix it for her?"

Zhang Yadong shrugged and said, "This is good. Only a pure, unadorned voice can bring out the most authentic flavor of a song. Auto-tuning would ruin the flavor."

Hearing Zhang Yadong's words, Jing Tian exclaimed, "That's right! Teacher Zhang is indeed very professional! He truly deserves to be called a top producer!"

Shen Gongbao: "————"

Shen Gongbao said, "I don't care how you record these songs, but the song I wrote for you is one of the interludes from Red Cliff, so you must practice it diligently."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yadong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He felt that Shen Gongbao was there to steal his job.

Jing Tian was in high spirits. She assured him, "Don't worry, Dao-ge, I've always been hardworking and resilient since I was little. I've been dancing for many years, and I'm very tenacious!"

Shen Gongbao nodded and wrote down "Half a Pot of Yarn" directly, teaching Jing Tian to sing it.

Both being ancient-style songs, "Half a Pot of Yarn" is much better than "Who Are You".

Jing Tian was overjoyed upon hearing this, and she said with a smile, "I love this song! The 500 million was well spent!"

"How much?" Zhang Yadong's eyes lit up when he heard Jing Tian say 500 million!

In his opinion, a self-proclaimed "high-minded" person, the song "Half a Pot of Yarn" was quite ordinary.

This lousy song sold for 500 million? How is that even possible?!

Zhang Yadong also wants to earn this money!

Jing Tian confirmed, "500 million? What's wrong?"

Zhang Yadong immediately changed his tune, even his form of address changed. He smiled and said, "Teacher Jing Tian, ​​I have many more songs here, would you like to listen to them?"

"No, didn't you say before that you only wrote two songs? The other one was written by a Japanese composer."

Jing Tian suddenly realized and said, "Oh!? I know!"

We signed a package deal with you.

"For you, three songs or five songs are all the same price, so you don't want to write more songs for me!"

Zhang Yadong:

Seeing Zhang Yadong's embarrassed expression, Shen Gongbao laughed heartily.

Jing Tian explained, "Teacher Zhang, don't overthink it. The price of 500 million was only for Dao Ge's family. He helped me get the role of the female lead in Red Cliff, and I'm especially grateful to him."

Hearing this, Zhang Yadong felt a little better.

But he was still very upset, and after staying for a while, he left under the pretext that he had something to do.

Shen Gongbao continued to watch Jing Tian practice singing.

"Ten miles of flowers in full bloom, a time for marriage~ Pearls on a phoenix coronet, tucked into her hair~"

At first, Jing Tian sang with great enthusiasm, but by 5:30, her stomach started growling.

"Brother Dao, let's call it a day. I'm starving."

Let's go eat! It's my treat for you all to hot pot!

Shen Gongbao said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say before that you were very resilient, hardworking, and willing to practice singing diligently?"

Jing Tian opened her big eyes and said innocently, "I've practiced for more than two hours, isn't that enough?"

This is the hardest singing practice I've ever had!

Shen Gongbao: "————"

Shen Gongbao had actually believed Jing Tian's words that she was willing to practice singing properly.

The main reason is that, regardless of his past or present life, Shen Gongbao's classmates and colleagues were all very ambitious, and the celebrities he met in the entertainment industry were also very driven.

Even Liu Yifei is quite hardworking; although she cried out in pain while practicing boxing, she could grit her teeth and persevere.

Even if some people say they're giving up, they're still working hard. If they don't work hard, they'll still experience anxiety and internal conflict.

Shen Gongbao had never met someone as lazy, relaxed, and with such a good attitude as Jing Tian before.

But upon closer reflection, Jing Tian's actions are in line with human nature.

It's unrealistic to expect a girl from a wealthy and pampered family to work hard and endure hardship without effort.

In Jing Tian's opinion, the fact that she was able to move out and live alone shows that she is independent and very resilient.

Seeing that Shen Gongbao remained silent, Jing Tian assumed he disagreed, so she said in a coquettish tone, "Oh dear~ Brother Dao, don't be in such a hurry~~"

We can practice singing slowly, but delicious food waits for no one!

I know a really good hot pot restaurant, but if you go too late, there won't be any seats left!

It's really delicious!

Jing Tian swallowed hard at the thought of hot pot.

She's a die-hard hot pot lover, the kind who can eat it all afternoon without stopping.

Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "Alright, let's go eat first."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian immediately cheered, jumped up and down twice, and then rushed out of the recording studio to change her clothes.

Li Yitong asked warily, "Honey, you don't have feelings for Jing Tian, ​​do you?"

Why do you say that?

"You're pretty strict with us. If I told Qianqian and me we were going out to eat, you'd definitely scold us," Li Yitong said sourly. "But Jingtian just casually begged, and you agreed. That's not right, that's really not right!"

Shen Gongbao patted Li Yitong's head and said with a smile, "Jing Tian is hopeless, I'm too lazy to scold her, but you guys still have room for improvement."

Hearing this, Li Yitong felt much better.

But this was not what Shen Gongbao truly thought.

Instead, seeing Jing Tian's relaxed and lazy demeanor reminded him of his first goal after his rebirth: to enjoy life and not get overworked to the point of sudden death.

I didn't have much work in August, so I should have rested and had some fun.

As a result, I still managed to fill my schedule with work.

This doesn't seem right.

Liu Yifei walked to Shen Gongbao's side and whispered, "Master, can I withdraw our previous plan and cancel this mission?"

Shen Gongbao asked in surprise, "Why?"

Liu Yifei explained, "I think Tian Tian is a very nice person. Although she is a bit simple-minded, she is very sincere and not scheming."

Such a fool—well—there aren't many people this naive anymore, I don't want to lie to her.

Hearing this, Li Yitong was indignant and questioned, "Then why have you been lying to me and bullying me all this time?"

Liu Yifei retorted confidently, "Are you stupid?"

Li Yitong was speechless. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Liu Yifei was praising her or scolding her.

Shen Gongbao, however, found it very interesting.

Although Jing Tian was a bit naive, after only one day of contact, she changed Shen Gongbao's mind and aroused Liu Yifei's "compassion".

In this complex society, everyone prefers to be friends with simple and innocent people.

Is this the charm of Little Tangren?

So it seems that Jing Tian's statement that she was very cute since childhood and was very pampered at home is true!

Just as Shen Gongbao was about to persuade Liu Yifei to continue the mission, it would also be a good thing for Jing Tian.

But then Jing Tian came back after changing her clothes, spun around twice, and said smugly, "How is it? Isn't this dress pretty?"

Sisi, even though you're a big star, you should learn from my fashion sense. Your clothes are just too ugly!

Look at that khaki T-shirt you're wearing, my goodness, I really don't know how you managed to wear that!

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao and Li Yitong both burst into laughter.

Liu Yifei's fashion sense is indeed hard to describe; her fashion sense relies entirely on her looks.

Liu Yifei didn't respond to Jing Tian, ​​but instead whispered through gritted teeth in Shen Gongbao's ear, "I take back what I just said, continue the mission!"
