Yu Nian made the tea well and finished drinking it, only then did he receive Xie You's reply, just one word, "Yeah."
Sitting lazily on the sofa, Yu Nian leaned against the pillow, not noticing that there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He typed a few words and was about to reply, but unexpectedly another message came in.
"nice."
Now, Yu Nian couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. He touched his lower abdomen casually, and felt that the physical training during this period was not in vain—at least he would be very confident.
After deleting the content that I wanted to go back to, Yu Nian asked instead, "Then will there be takeaway today?"
This time the reply came quickly, "Yes, there are two kinds."
Yu Nian laughed again—
Am looking forward to.
But before the special takeaway was delivered, Meng Yuan's call arrived first.
"Year after year, just now, the ratings have soared to 3.9!" Before Meng Yuan's voice fell, He Qiubai was talking next to him, "Oh, oh, why are those shows at the same time so unavailable!"
Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Director He, are you inflated? It's okay, you can swell as you like, anyway, don't forget the big red envelopes every year!" He turned to Yu Nian again, "There are still three with your name on them." Top 20 topics, top 15 search lists, more than half of "Sounds of Nature"!"
"Old Meng, you are too strict, this grade can't make me inflated?"
Yu Nian didn't interrupt, just listening to the quarrel between Meng Yuan and He Qiubai with a smile on the tail of his eyes. After the two of them had finished fighting, he said, "I'm really grateful to Director He for giving me this opportunity this time."
He Qiubai laughed, "It's all mutual, and I want to thank you too. Originally, it's risky to use a newcomer. Either the show will become popular and make a lot of money, or you will lose all your money. Fortunately, you have Xia Mingxi. My show holds up half the sky, otherwise I wouldn't be in the mood to eat barbecue and drink beer here."
Meng Yuan hummed beside him, "Old He, shouldn't you still thank me? Anyway, I pulled you in front of me!"
"Yes, yes, thank you!" The two drank beer, and He Qiubai's tone became more serious, "In this circle, there are always more and more people who are good-looking, sing well, and can dance. Few, but you are unique. Yu Nian, work hard and hang out with your Brother Meng, and you will definitely become famous in the future."
Yu Nian sincerely thanked him again, "Director He, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Nian looked at the blacked-out screen and suddenly felt that the foggy future was finally a little clearer, at least he could vaguely see the way.
While he was in a daze, the notification tone on his phone rang again.
Opening his phone, he found that it was not Xie You, but a message from Rong Yue, saying that the admission qualification for the auction had been obtained for him.
Yu Nian calculated the time, and the in-shoot time was just the second day after the movie promotion song audition, which happened to be staggered, so he replied, "I will definitely be there on time, please trouble Uncle Rong."
After replying to the news, remembering what Meng Yuan said just now, Yu Nian opened Weibo and checked again. Sure enough, "Sound of Nature" became very popular, and the sixth most searched position was Xia Mingxi.
Yu Nian clicked in, and found that 20 minutes ago, Xia Mingxi updated Weibo: "#夏明希#Qiaoqiu everyone, can you stop posting photos of my naked buttocks when I was young? I also want to face QAQ"
The comment area is a large area of neatness.
Yu Nian also forwarded it badly, "I can't.//@夏明希：#夏明希#球球Everyone, can you stop posting photos of my bare butt? I also want to face QAQ"
As soon as the transfer was over, Xia Mingxi's WeChat came over, and sent nine heartbroken emoticons in a row, and Yu Nian replied with an akimbo emoticon.
"Xia Mingxi: Are you still a brother? By the way, I just found out that I'm going to be filming the day after tomorrow. My mother even packed my suitcase!!"
Yu Nian's typing hands paused, surprised, "So fast?"
"Xia Mingxi: That's right, it's a very good crew. My mother found a friend to put me in with great difficulty. It must be in accordance with their time. I have to go there in advance to prepare, and I will leave almost the morning after tomorrow."
Yu Nian understood, and typed, "Then we'll get together when you come back."
"Xia Mingxi: It's settled, you must not forget me every year! Wait for half a month, come back and play together!"
On the morning of the eleventh, Meng Yuan drove over to pick him up.
Seeing Yu Nian abandoning his crutches, wearing the white shirt he wore when they met for the first time, his brows clear and youthful, Meng Yuan realized again that Yu Nian was only twenty-one years old. He regained his composure and smiled, "Why are you wearing this again? Didn't you go to buy some expensive clothes and shoes? I heard that AJ's sneakers seem to be a joint model again, and the new autumn models of various brands are also available."
Yu Nian got in the car and fastened his seat belt, smiled and shook his head, "I didn't buy it, as long as I have enough clothes to wear, I don't really like buying clothes."
When my grandparents were still there, the clothes of the family were all made by an old tailor. The style is simple and the material is good. One piece can be worn repeatedly for a long time, so he doesn't have the habit of buying new clothes frequently, as long as it is enough to wear.
Meng Yuan clicked his tongue, "You are really the most frugal entertainer I have ever seen. You don't smoke good cigarettes or drink good wine, you don't buy houses or watches, you don't like luxury goods or luxury cars, and you don't even like daily clothes. It’s wholesale by the dozen, and if I tell the truth, no one will believe it!”
Speaking of this, Yu Nian was curious, "What about you, Brother Meng, where do you usually spend your money?"
Meng Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "A while ago, I liked to shop for antiques. I studied them carefully for several years, but I still couldn't stand the fact that there were too many fakes! Later, I liked to invest in collectible jewelry, and later I liked to buy houses. Now I like to save money. See With a bunch of numbers, I'm in a good mood!"
"By the way, let's get down to business," Meng Yuan remembered, "you will go there in a while, and you should meet You You and He Junyu. It was reported that You You's audition was in the afternoon, but Director Xu's schedule is tight, so let's let it all go. It's morning."
Yu Nian nodded, "Brother Meng, don't worry, I've memorized the lyrics and melody. I sang and recorded it last night. After listening to it, I'm quite satisfied."
Meng Yuan was a little more confident, but he still tried to persuade him first, "If you are not selected, don't be discouraged. You have just taken the first step in your career, and there will be more opportunities in the future!"
Yu Nian knew that Meng Yuan was worried about his state of mind, "Yes, I know."
"Let's take our time, don't worry, if you hang out with your brother Meng, you will definitely eat your meat!"
The elevator went up to the 30th floor, and as soon as it stepped out of the elevator door, someone came to guide the way.
Yu Nian and the two followed in and arrived outside a recording room.
Recognizing the person standing at a glance, Meng Yuan greeted first with a smile on his face, "Director Xu, Producer Ning, long time no see!"
Xu Xianglan is in his forties or fifties, dressed casually, his whole body is only black and gray in color, the lines at the corners of his mouth are very deep, he looks a little awkward, but when he smiles, his expression is very gentle.
He shook hands with Meng Yuan, then turned his gaze to Yu Nian, "I have listened to all the songs you sang on "Tian Lai", they are very good."
Yu Nian was neither humble nor overbearing, "Thank you, Director Xu!" He smiled again and rolled his eyes, "I like watching your movies very much, and I have watched each one more than once. I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet you in person."
Xu Xianglan raised his eyebrows, and smiled at the people next to him, "Most of the films I shoot are dull literary films, I didn't expect children to like them so much!" He then asked Yu Nian in a gentle tone, "Which one do you like best? department?"
Yu Nian didn't hesitate, "I like "National Scholar" and "Survival" the most, especially "Survival". At the end, the scene where Yunlai committed suicide in the house left the deepest impression on me. I closed my eyes for several days and saw that scene."
Xu Xianglan didn't expect that Yu Nian would like the film "Survival". This is his very early work, and it is also his most satisfying work, so he asked a few more questions, "Then do you think Yunlai should commit suicide?"
Yu Nian thought about it for a few seconds, and said seriously, "There should be no reason for that. To live, one must have a breath and a mind to support it. Yun Lai just lost his breath and lost his mind."
Xu Xianglan didn't say right or wrong, and patted Yu Nian on the shoulder, "Please wait a moment, there are two more singers coming over, we will start when they are all here."
I went to the next lounge with Meng Yuan, but there was no one there, the staff brought over two cups of tea, put it down and went out.
Meng Yuan was careful, and didn't let Yu Nian drink the tea here, but handed him a thermos cup, and didn't ask Yu Nian if he really liked Xu Xianglan's movies, but only introduced, "The one next to Director Xu is the producer of this movie, Ninger is very low-key. However, the singer who chose a promotional song, the director and the producer have all come, it seems that they really attach great importance to this movie."
Yu Nian wrote down the name and person, and after chatting for a few words, he took out the lyrics list to consolidate his memory. Meng Yuan didn't bother him, and took out his mobile phone to do his own business.
Not long after, the door of the lounge opened, and You You and He Junyu arrived together. The three of them greeted politely, but they were all competitors, they had never met before, and no one was pretending to be warm, so the whole lounge fell silent.
Soon, the staff came in and took He Junyu out. Ten minutes later, Youyou also went out.
Meng Yuan looked back, and found that Yu Nian was more calm than himself, "Are you not nervous?"
Yu Nian looked away from the lyrics, "It's useless to be nervous, it's better to memorize the lyrics twice."
Meng Yuan pondered: "It seems to be the reason."
After waiting for another twenty minutes, the door opened again, and the staff member said politely, "Director Xu asked me to call you."
Yu Nian said thanks.
Entering the recording studio, all sounds are isolated from the glass. Yu Nian didn't look at the expressions of the people standing outside, so he put on his earphones.
Xu Xianglan stood with Ning Ge, looked at Yu Nian standing in front of the microphone critically, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the appearance and temperament are okay?"
Ning Ge crossed his arms, "Director Xu, you are the director and I am the director? You choose your own roles. Why do you ask me?"
"Just say it if you are lazy." Xu Xianglan pondered, "I have to look again, and I will think about it myself."
Ninge nodded, and concentrated on listening to Yu Nian's singing carefully. When he waited for the interlude, he asked, "What do you think of him singing?"
Xu Xianglan didn't hesitate to ask this question, "It's much better than Youyou, much better than He Junyu."
"That's right, but he doesn't have as many fans as Youyou. Although he dominated the hot searches a while ago and his popularity exploded, his popularity foundation is still too weak and unstable." Ning Ge tapped his fingers twice on the crook of his arm, " I choose Youyou."
Xu Xianglan didn't speak right away, but said the same thing as before, "I'll think about it."
The result will not be announced on the spot, and it will take a few days before the agent is notified. After singing, Yu Nian came out of the recording studio, greeted him politely, and left with Meng Yuan.
In the elevator, Meng Yuan didn't turn the corner, "It's pretty good this time, I chatted with You You's manager, and depending on the situation, You You is quite favored."
Yu Nian's expression didn't change when he heard that, "I didn't make any mistakes in singing this time. If I didn't get selected, I will try my best."
"Do your best," Meng Yuan sighed again, "Nowadays, the pre-promotion of movies is becoming more and more important. Even if it's a big production by a famous director, it has to be popular for the box office. I've heard of Youyou's scene, and it's not as good as you. The only one What can be compared is that his fan base is stronger than yours."
Yu Nian turned to persuade Meng Yuan, "Let's take it slowly, I will be very good in the future."
The cloud in Meng Yuan's heart was dispelled, and he laughed, "Yes, yes, you will definitely be very good in the future!"
In the afternoon, Yu Nian continued to go to the company to take professional classes. His foot injury has basically recovered. In order not to affect his dancing in the future, or have various sequelae such as habitual sprains, he has to keep up with ankle strength training and the like.
After returning home at night, Yu Nian put on a mask, went to a nearby shopping mall to buy pork ribs and kelp, passed the shelves, and chose a gray thermos bucket.
After carefully handling the ingredients and stewing them, turning on a low fire, Yu Nian went to the study and turned a page of paper to settle the accounts.
The money from the contract with Xinghai, the payment from the live broadcast, plus the bonus from "Sounds of Nature" and the appearance fee from Jie, plus the theme song written for Yu Qing's movie, and the remuneration from the film studio's calls, it is worth seven figures. .
Set aside the change and put the rest in the account. Yu Nian estimated the price - as long as you don't meet the kind of bidding opponent who is not bad for money, or malicious bidding, you should be fine to buy the item back.
The pork rib soup has been simmering for almost two hours, and the aroma of food wafts out from the kitchen. Yu Nian guessed that it was almost time, and was about to enter the kitchen when he heard the doorbell.
After confirming who was coming, Yu Nian opened the door.
It was the same man in the black suit as before, and the other party handed over a boxy box with a card attached.
Yu Nian opened the card first, and what caught his eyes was some familiar handwriting, painted with silver hooks on iron, which was very beautiful, "I tasted it at dinner, it was delicious."
So want to try it for yourself
Yu Nian laughed, looked up and said, "Please wait for two minutes, I have something to trouble you to bring back."
Entering the kitchen, Yu Nian took out a new thermos bucket that had been cleaned from the cabinet, and took some pork rib soup out of the pot.
After screwing the lid on and making sure the soup wouldn't leak out, Yu Nian went to the door.
The other party took the thermos, nodded at him, turned and left.
Qu Xiaoran came out of the dinner, drove the newly bought sports car directly to Xie's house, and went into Xie You's study familiarly.
Pushing open the door, the warm light poured down, Qu Xiaoran stepped on the light-colored carpet, hooked the car key with his fingers and turned it around, raised his chin, "Xie Xiaoyou, call me twice in such a hurry, let me tonight You must come here, is there something urgent?"
Xie You inhaled lightly, and pointed to the thermos bucket that was well placed by his hand, "Would you... want to hear about its origin?"
