Meng Yuan also told Yu Nian about this matter.
"Your fox tail is out of print. It was sold out before it even hit the shelves. Yesterday I spoke with the assistant of director Messer, and the other party also expressed that he was very surprised by your appeal."
Yu Nian was sitting in the back seat of the car, looking down at the commercial script, when he heard Meng Yuan say, he was surprised, "Hersey's fox tail? I remember one hundred and twenty thousand?"
"That's right, at this price, I don't know which rich fan bought 20 pieces in one go. Tsk, I'm really rich. I bought the same style for more than 2 million yuan, so that no one else can buy the same style."
A silhouette of a person appeared in front of Yu Nian's eyes, and soon he dismissed the idea - it shouldn't be Xie You.
Meng Yuan sighed a few words, and then said, "You had the last re-examination yesterday, are your feet okay?"
"No problem, the doctor said that the recovery is very good and there will be no sequelae." Yu Nian was afraid that Meng Yuan would be worried, so he showed him the test results that he had taken.
After reading it, Meng Yuan was relieved, and while flipping through the memo, he said, "This EP that is being prepared will contain five songs. In order to maintain the style, four of them, including the main title, are composed by Feng Ting. Ying Yang writes lyrics, the three of them are gold medal partners, and the works they have produced in the past two years are very good. I made an appointment before, and counting the time, the song will be handed in in two days. When the time comes, I will give it to you first have a look."
Meng Yuan mentioned this matter before, and Yu Nian divided his thoughts, "Okay, what about the other song? Is it written by Teacher Jiang Cheng and Teacher Jiang Bo?"
"Yes, the other party took the initiative to call and negotiate, saying that they promised in "Sounds of Nature", and they will definitely honor it."
Yu Nian wrote it down, "Well, then I'll call later to thank you."
"Okay, but they also take the initiative to ask for a song because they see that you are becoming popular. If you become popular, the songs they write will follow suit. By fulfilling their promises, they can make news. If "Sound of Nature" You will be cold after the end, and no one will talk to you at all. Everyone is very realistic, mutual benefit, and there is no need to be too grateful."
"Well, I know."
Knowing that Yu Nian was clear in his mind, Meng Yuan didn't continue. He looked at the buildings outside the window and put away the memo, "I've already driven to the west of the city, and I'm almost there. Speaking of which, last time I came with you , or go to a private restaurant to eat."
Soon, the car stopped at the destination, and a lot of dead leaves fell from the sycamore trees on both sides of the road. Yu Nian opened the door and got out of the car, turned his head, and could see the back door of his house from a distance.
Meng Yuan followed Yu Nian's gaze and said casually, "I heard from Director Messer's assistant that Messer originally preferred the Sining mansion next to him, saying that it was almost in line with his vision and the style he wanted, but it was a private house. It's not very good to go in to shoot commercials, so I had to choose this Yiyuan, which is similar in style to Sining Mansion, and it can barely catch Messer's eyes."
Yu Nian nodded. He remembered that there used to be an old gentleman living in Yiyuan, who was on crutches and often wore a gentleman's hat. Sometimes he would come to visit and play chess with his grandfather.
Later, the old man passed away, and the four children were scattered all over the world, so they simply sold the yard for cash. Now Yiyuan has been transformed into a high-end private club, and a collection jewelry exhibition was held two years ago.
Walking into the carved gate, the flowers and trees on both sides of the road are neatly trimmed, and there is no sign of decay in late autumn.
Shi Rou stood next to Yu Nian and said in a low voice, "When Yiyuan was sold, Brother Meng was keen to buy real estate investment and was very tempted, but the starting price of Yiyuan is hundreds of millions, and after buying it, it needs to be repaired, which is another huge sum of money. , Brother Meng didn't have that much money, so he secretly withdrew his hand that was about to move."
Meng Yuan glanced over from the front, "You two, what are you whispering?"
Shi Rou and Yu Nian said in unison, "No!"
Meng Yuan was amused by this reaction, "Okay, go two steps faster, we're going to be late."
Messer paid more attention to the visual beauty when making advertisements. After Yu Nian arrived, he even used a pen to draw on paper, and explained his conception of the picture to Yu Nian in detail.
"... From your eyes, what I can see is a kind of peace, with very little desire, making people feel very clean, just like the Northern Lights in the snowfields of northern Europe! I hope to dig out this temperament of yours as much as possible and show it Come out." Mess stood up, waved at Yu Nian, and motioned him to follow, "I have designed three styles for you, let's try them out first!"
So the whole morning was spent trying on clothes, accessories, makeup and hairstyles for the rest of the year. Messer was extremely picky, and from time to time, he would argue with the stylist. After finally finalizing it, Messer pulled the costumer to the side to discuss and modify some small details.
At 12:30, Yu Nian changed into his own clothes, and was finally able to relax for a while. Just as he was about to ask Shi Rou what he had for lunch, he found Meng Yuan walking in with a strange expression on his face.
"Brother Meng?"
Meng Yuan made sure there were no outsiders, so he pretended to cough twice, "Well... Mr. Qu said that you worked too hard to shoot commercials, so he specially brought food over. There was a big table full. There might be more than a dozen dishes, just three of you. It’s impossible to finish it.”
Yu Nian laughed as soon as he heard it. Yesterday he read Xie You's Weibo, and he was still wondering why the takeaway didn't come, but he didn't expect it to be until today.
Seeing that Yu Nian was actually laughing, Meng Yuan lowered his voice, "Mr. Qu...what does it mean? Even if you are optimistic that you will become the company's cash cow in the future, you will not be so courteous!"
Seeing a lot, Shi Rou also frowned, worried, "Brother Meng, what do you mean, Mr. Qu has... that kind of thought?"
Meng Yuan pondered, then shook his head again, "It's not like that, although Mr. Qu is not determined and loves to play, he is not bad. He has a lot of ex-girlfriends, but they all broke up after holding hands for a week. It's quite principled." , Young Master Qu is still staring at him. The point is, I haven’t heard that he is a double!"
Listening to the discussion between Meng Yuan and Shi Rou, Yu Nian felt that if he told the truth, saying that these were sent by Xie You—it would be more incomprehensible than Qu Xiaoran, right
Thinking of Xia Mingxi's "sulphuric acid and bombs", Yu Nian still didn't tell the truth, and said, "Maybe Mr. Qu thinks I'm more pleasing to the eye, and he sent them all. It's a pity not to eat them. There are so many dishes, let's eat together." .”
The advertisement of Fei Leng Cui took four full days to shoot. Yu Nian was in Xu Xianglan's crew, and he was used to shooting a scene six or seven times over and over again. This time, he met Messer, who was strict and inspired to reshoot from time to time, so he was very patient. When the filming was finally over, Messer opened his arms, hugged Yu Nian, and laughed, "I am very happy to work with you! Believe me, this commercial is absolutely perfect!"
Yu Nian smiled and said, "Thank you, I am looking forward to it too!"
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we left Yiyuan. In late autumn, it gets dark very early. Yu Nian has been working continuously for the past few days. Once his nerves relax, he can't hold on anymore and dozes off against the pillow.
Meng Yuan helped him cover the quilt, closed the car window, and told him in a low voice, "Sleep at ease, go to bed early when you get back, and sleep late tomorrow to make up for it."
Yu Nian could barely hear what Meng Yuan was saying, responded, tilted his head and fell asleep.
But before eight o'clock the next morning, Meng Yuan called, "Although I know it will disturb your sleep, but now there is good news and bad news, which one do you listen to first?"
"Good morning, Brother Meng," Yu Nian said in a hoarse voice, "Let's hear the bad news first."
"You open Weibo to see the trending searches."
"Hot search?" Yu Nian kept on the call, switched to the Weibo page, and saw the number one hot search at a glance. His words were full of surprise, "Feng Ting and Zhao Yan were arrested for taking drugs?"
Meng Yuan sighed, "I'm worried that my hair is about to fall out! Together with Luo Yingyang, they handed in a total of seven songs, four of which were selected out of seven, and the quality is not bad. Five songs were selected in the primary selection, waiting for you to choose five songs." Once the four decisions are made, the production can start, who knew that something like this would happen!"
Yu Nian sat up, folded the quilt, squinted his eyes under the sunlight outside the window, and said calmly, "Then what's the specific situation now?"
"The overall style of the small album has been set before, and Feng Ting, Zhao Yan, and Luo Yingyang also wrote songs according to this style. Now the preparations are complete, and when the song is finalized, we will start recording and put it into production."
Meng Yuan took a breath, "So the problem now, if we don't want Feng Ting and Zhao Yan's songs, losing money is a trivial matter. The most troublesome thing is that the pre-production time will be infinitely prolonged. Moreover, the quality and quantity of songwriters are not good enough. Many, you are still a newcomer now, you can find a songwriter with quality, schedule, high price, and can write the style of the album, you can only hope for luck!"
Yu Nian grabbed the corner of the quilt with his fingers, "Otherwise the EP will have to be postponed for an indeterminate time, and all plans will have to be overthrown and restarted, right?"
"Yes." Meng Yuan asked Yu Nian, "So, do we still want this song?"
"No." When asked this question, Yu Nian's tone was firm, "Drug use is a matter of principle, you can't do it." He sat up, stretched his waist and said with a smile, "Brother Meng, how about... I will write the lyrics and music Bar."
Meng Yuan was silent for a few seconds, "You write... you wait, I'll discuss it!"
After Yu Nian made himself a simple fried rice meal and finished watering the flowers, Meng Yuan called.
"If you write your own songs for your first album, some people will be fans of your talents, but correspondingly, it will be easier to be ridiculed and scolded. This is your first music work, and we must ensure the quality, so it's not that we don't trust you, but You must be cautious, you must be on the safe side, do you understand?"
Yu Nian: "Understood, so give me three days, I'll write the song for you to listen to first, and then make a decision, is that okay?"
Meng Yuan responded, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Realizing that Meng Yuan was about to hang up the phone, Yu Nian said, "Wait, Brother Meng, what about the good news?"
"Look at my memory!" Meng Yuan laughed to himself, "The good news is that a popular variety show has been signed, and you will be a guest. But you should write songs seriously first. There is no rush for this matter. I will tell you in detail in a few days .”
For the next three days, Yu Nian didn't go out. During this period, Shi Rou bought some ingredients and fruits to send home, while he devoted himself to writing songs.
On the third night, Meng Yuan, who hadn't heard from Yu Nian, called worriedly, "Niannian, are you okay? It doesn't matter if you can't write it, just postpone it!"
Yu Nian yawned, and smiled wearily, "The four capitals have already been written, and I also composed a song by the way, and sang it with the accompaniment. The audio has been sent to your mailbox."
"So fast?" Meng Yuan was surprised, and hurriedly said, "Okay, then you rest, I'll go and listen!"
Yu Nian was so sleepy that he hung up the phone and fell asleep on the bed. I don't know how long I slept, but Meng Yuan heard back, "Fuck, if I knew you were so good at writing, what song should we make an appointment for?"
Yu Nianban opened his eyes, with a smile in his voice, "Can that work?"
"Of course! It's completely slapping Feng Ting and Zhao Yan! It can also be promoted to singer-songwriters, not bad!" Meng Yuan's voice was excited, "You continue to sleep, the result of the demo confirmation should not come out so soon, anyway. I'll let you know the result right away."
The phone was hung up, Yu Nian tried it with his eyes closed, and found that the drowsiness had disappeared, so he simply sat up, took a can of yogurt from the refrigerator, turned on the TV, and drank the yogurt while watching the rebroadcast of the financial news in the early morning.
"...A few days ago, I received news that an executive surnamed Wang from Huanyu Investment fled abroad and was brought back by the police..."
Huanyu Investment? Yu Nian paused holding the yogurt, he remembered what Xu Xianglan had mentioned before, standing behind Huanyu was a director surnamed Ding from the Xie family, and now something happened to Huanyu...
At this moment, the phone rang, and Yu Nian turned it on, only to find that it was a message from Xie You, with only a few words, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
After reading these three words over and over several times, Yu Nian got up suddenly, took a gray coat from the bedroom and put it on, put the keys in his pocket, put on a black peaked cap, and went out the door.
really.
Looking at the strange black SUV parked on the side of the road, Yu Nian walked over quickly, and when he approached, the window glass lowered a little—it was Xie You.
Exhaling into his hands on purpose, Yu Nian smiled and said, "It's so cold outside."
Xie You looked at Yu Nian standing on the side of the street, and couldn't recover, thinking that he was hallucinating. After hearing Yu Nian's coldness, he reacted suddenly and opened the car door.
Sitting in the back seat, the temperature in the compartment is much higher, and the air is filled with a faint aroma of cedar.
"Good evening," Yu Nian said lightly, "If you don't ask, how did I know you're here?"
With focused eyes, Xie You asked, "How do you know?"
Yu Nian smiled and said, "It's very simple. It's 1:30 in the morning. You won't post messages like 'I'm still awake' for no reason. I didn't post on Moments or Weibo, but you know I'm still up , it is very likely that you found the lights in my living room lit up."
Xie You's voice became gentle, "Then... what if I'm not here?"
"Just take a walk." Yu Nian smiled like water in his eyes, his eyelashes filled with the warm light from the street lamp outside the car window, "But you are here, I guessed it right, didn't you?"
Xie You nodded slightly, "Yes."
I rewarded myself with taking a peek at your window, not expecting a pleasant surprise.
saw you.
