Since Eason, Sui Yuan, and Huo Ke all have excellent acting talent and experience, the short MV shooting is naturally not difficult for them. Almost all the shots are shot in one go, making the director who was hired with a high salary tsk tsk Amazing.
When a good director meets a good actor, they often collide with a spark of inspiration. Facing the three people who are extremely aura, the director burst into inspiration for a while, and temporarily deleted a few clips on his own initiative, making the whole MV look more beautiful and gorgeous , smooth, full of charm.
After the filming was over, the director, who was still a little unfulfilled, even asked for the contact information of the three of them, saying that if they stopped singing, they could become actors, and they would definitely be able to stand out.
For the director's "encouragement", the three of them thanked the director sincerely but dumbfoundedly, and the new EP has finally entered the final stage.
When Sui Yuan and Huo Ke's roles in the film crew were finalized, the release date of the new EP was also officially announced, which aroused the eager anticipation of many fans.
"When it's released, I'll buy a copy." An actor who has a good relationship with Sui Yuan in the film crew said with a smile, "Actually, I really like Eason's voice. I thought he had a bad personality, but After contacting him for a while, I feel that the rumors may not be credible—you have a good relationship with him?"
"Well, very good." Sui Yuan nodded unabashedly, his generous and sweet and dependent appearance makes people a little envious, but it doesn't generate any suspicion, "Thank you for supporting the new EP, if you have time, I invite you to eat!"
The other party responded with a smile, turned around and continued with his work.
Most of the people in the entertainment industry are old-fashioned, very familiar with the world and the world, and will not tear their faces or offend people easily. In addition, both Sui Yuan and Huo Ke are quite good at communication, so they can naturally maintain superficial warmth and friendship with most of the crew, and sometimes they can even hook up shoulder to shoulder, like close friends.
It's not that no one is jealous, there are some complaints and small actions in secret, after all, Sui Yuan and Huo Ke are both young, good-looking, and their acting skills are also exceptionally good. , to get a share of the entertainment industry, a place where there are so many monks and little meat.
It's a pity that Sui Yuan and Huo Ke themselves are very vigilant about this, together with Le Sen and the director Zheng Bin's love of talent, they guarded them with both light and darkness, and did not allow them to be slandered or framed, and ended peacefully. the whole scene.
For this kindness, Sui Yuan and Huo Ke are naturally very grateful, but they can't repay them for the time being.
After all, the roles of Sui Yuan and Huo Ke are only small supporting roles, and the new EP release is approaching and they are extremely busy, and the production crew has been rushing to make progress, so there is no wrap-up banquet for them. The two just said goodbye to the crew and left quietly.
Before leaving, Zheng Bin felt a little regretful, and blatantly encouraged them to "give up singing and start acting": "The music industry is in a downturn now. I heard that your... Fashion Mix group is not doing too well? I think you should come here Forget about acting! When I finish the next script, I will find you to audition! You need to have acting skills and appearance, and I will definitely make you popular!"
Huo Ke, who had never seen such a side of director Zheng Bin, was stunned! Is it really okay to go directly from a harsh to somewhat unkind director to an outspoken bad friend? !
In his previous life, after the disbandment of the group, Huo Ke wandered around and wandered in the showbiz for a long time before he managed to make his mark with the help of Le Sen. However, he is already considered an old man in the showbiz at the age of nearly 30, even if he was filmed by Zheng Bin. They had been in dramas, but they were not appreciated by the other party so much, so the relationship has naturally been maintained at the level of a casual acquaintance.
This is of course as it should be. A young person who is an actor for the first time is naturally more amazing than an older person who has been in the showbiz for a long time.
Huo Ke was flattered by the other party's "enthusiasm", and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but Sui Yuan didn't care about it at all, and behaved much more willfully, and even smiled and joked: "Director Zheng, this is You said it yourself, golden words! If the new EP doesn't sell well, I'll come and eat with you!"
Zheng Bin appreciates Huo Ke's composure, but also likes Sui Yuan's escape. The former makes him feel like a peer with mutual respect, while the latter is more like a worrying junior.
Patting Sui Yuan on the head, Zheng Bin scolded with a smile: "I wish you all the best for your new EP! I'm really afraid that you will make me poor!"
Le Sen on the side glanced at Sui Yuan and Zheng Bin who were laughing, the smile in his brows and eyes was a bit real, seeing that it was difficult to interrupt the two, he simply turned his head and looked at Huo Ke, feeling that he, who has always been steady, was speechless at the moment. The facial expression is also quite interesting: "Congratulations on the finale, you did a good job, and work hard for the new EP, I will support it."
Although he didn't have a good impression of Huo Ke at first, thinking that he was deep, self-restraining, and liked to plan quietly and privately, but after a period of contact, Le Sen found that the other party did not have any bad intentions, and he sat upright and gradually calmed down. He has also changed his attitude, and his attitude has improved a bit.
However, maybe he is too sensitive, Le Sen always feels that the other party's eyes look at him is not quite right, which makes him feel a little flabbergasted, so he dare not look at him, and subconsciously keeps a distance.
Hearing Le Sen talking to himself, the surprise in his heart turned into surprise in an instant, and Huo Ke couldn't help showing a smile: "Thank you, I heard that you recently received an audition invitation from Director Wilson and plan to go to Hollywood? You must If you can get this role, I will congratulate you in advance!"
"You are well-informed, and you have confidence in me?" Le Sen laughed. Naturally, he was sure of the role this time, so he allowed his agency to leak a little bit of information. Now, he is concentrating on expanding his overseas career and increasing his international reputation. If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Bin has an exceptionally good relationship with him, and he owes him favors, he would never have taken the small screen role.
Seeing that Le Sen and Huo Ke were chatting happily, Sui Yuan naturally wouldn't bother, and dragged Zheng Bin to make jokes for a while, and then left the set together with Huo Ke, who had finished the conversation. From the beginning to the end, Le Sen only found an opportunity and wished a "big sale of the new EP".
Seeing the two leave side by side, and Eason who had been waiting outside opened the door of the nanny car for them, Le Sen, who looked away, felt a little bit disappointed for some reason, and sincerely hoped that there would be a chance to cooperate with them in the future.
After all, there are few people who can not be inferior under the suppression of his acting skills. Le Sen, who has been standing in the domestic film industry for a long time, has no competitors, and is so lonely and desolate, is very happy to be able to appear One or two juniors have the ability to challenge him to not be so lonely.
"Since we are in the same circle, we will meet each other..." Le Sen said softly, sincerely hoping that they would not put all their energy on music.
"... What are you talking about?" The assistant who was bringing him water heard Le Sen's murmur with sharp ears, and his eyes widened in horror.
"What are you talking about?" Le Sen was puzzled by the words, and turned his head to look at his startled assistant who seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Who were you thinking about just now?" The assistant tried to make a natural expression, as if asking casually.
"Li Kun, and..." and Huo Ke—the last three words, Le Sen didn't have time to say it, because he heard Zheng Bin calling his name loudly.
Le Sen finally glanced at his assistant who was a little stiff even in his smile, then got up in a daze, and walked towards Zheng Bin.
Watching Le Sen leave, the assistant finally couldn't maintain the smile on his face, and his whole expression collapsed. In the next second, he hid himself in a completely safe corner, quickly took out his mobile phone, and called Lesen's manager: "Brother He! That's bad! The boss seems to have some signs of heartbeat recently!"
As an all-round agent, he not only takes charge of Le Sen's work arrangements in the entertainment industry, but also takes care of his other properties. File, just picked up the phone with his left hand, he was a little dazed: "What did you say?!"
The assistant naturally narrated what happened during this period of time truthfully. Of course, as a person with subjective tendencies, it was necessary to add a bit of imagination during the period.
"... You said, Le Sen really asked you personally, 'If you have a crush on a person you met for the first time, what's going on?'" At first I thought it was just catching rumors, but the more He Lin heard it, the more he felt something was wrong, "The filming Taking care of him all the time, when the other party finished filming and left the crew, he was extremely disappointed and hoped to meet the other party again?!"
"That's right!" The assistant who finally found the backbone nodded repeatedly.
He Lin put down his pen and rubbed the center of his eyebrows bitterly.
As a good friend, he naturally hopes that Le Sen, who has been single for a long time and has no signs of finding a partner at all, can be in a happy relationship; but as a manager, he has many things to worry about. For example, how to guide fans to accept this fact, instead of making anti-fans bigger and making things out of control, which will affect Lesen's popularity and reputation.
He Lin's mind began to work quickly, several plans for the future came out, and then he was frightened by the assistant's next words.
"The key is... that person is a man... Although he looks cute, has a good personality, and has the talent to become popular, but... he is indeed a man!"
He Lin: "..."
No matter how Le Sen, his assistant, and He Lin made a fuss over a "misunderstanding", the perpetrator Sui Yuan himself knew nothing about it. At this time, he and his teammates are promoting the new EP, while anxiously waiting for the reaction of fans and the market.
—Of course, to be precise, the only one who was worried was Huo Ke.
Eason has always had extremely inflated self-confidence. Although he is not a male protagonist, he is more skilled, capable, and luckier than ordinary male protagonists. As for Sui Yuan, he doesn't care about the fate of the Fashion Mix group at all. The new EP sells well, which is worthy of the recent busy period.
As a result, Huo Ke felt extremely entangled between two relaxed people, and even wondered if his psychological endurance was too poor? He lived to be in his thirties in his previous life, but now he is not as calm as two young people in their early twenties, it's just a joke!
In order not to allow himself to doubt himself too much, after the promotion was over and he returned to the apartment, Huo Ke simply returned to his room, out of sight and out of mind.
As for Eason, of course he also unceremoniously dragged Sui Yuan to his room.
Being pressed on the bed and kissed so breathlessly, Sui Yuan tried his best to push Eason to show his resistance, but his strength was a little limp due to the busyness of the recent period, as if he wanted to refuse but still welcome.
Fortunately, Eason could see that he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to resist, so he kindly just tasted it.
Kissed Sui Yuan's forehead, and signaled him to catch up on sleep on his own bed, Sui Yuan naturally didn't treat him politely, took off his coat, rolled directly into the soft bed, and fell asleep in the dark as soon as he closed his eyes.
At the same time, Eason, who was in much better spirits than Sui Yuan, turned on the computer.
In the dark room, the light from the screen shone on his face, and it seemed that there was a faint coldness. Eason's slender and slender fingers danced and tapped skillfully on the keyboard, and a nasty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. .
The sales volume of the new EP on the day of its release was not bad, and it was significantly improved compared with the previous album, but it was not too amazing and achieved the blockbuster effect that the company hoped for.
In terms of quantity, most of the purchasing power is due to the support of the last batch of hard-core fans, while the percentage of passers-by who have watched the hype during this period of time is not too high.
Fans of the Fashion Mix group probably know that this EP is particularly important, and it is related to the survival or dissolution of the Fashion Mix group. In addition, the price of the new EP is not high, so it can be regarded as if your financial ability allows it. Full support was given to the group.
Some fans bought three, four, or even seven or eight EPs and distributed them to their relatives and friends, which greatly boosted sales, but these alone are not enough.
The biggest problem in the music world is the prevalence of piracy. At the beginning of the release of the album, many passers-by fans were waiting and watching, and only after confirming that the album was of good quality would they consider spending money on it. And more passer-by fans are waiting for others to upload the songs and MVs in the album to the Internet, and habitually act as free hands.
This phenomenon is a headache for everyone, but there is no good way to restrain and stop it, so they can only let it grow helplessly.
Popular singers are better. Their fan clubs are organized and disciplined. Most of them will protect the rights and interests of their idols and ask uploaders to delete resources. However, Fashion Mix does not have such a mature fan club at all.
Not long after the release of the new EP, five songs in it were posted online.
There is always a strange phenomenon among Chinese people. If they like something, they like to share it with others. The quality of the new EP, whether it is the song or the MV, is exceptionally high. Everyone who got the EP couldn't bear to love it, and couldn't wait to express their love on the Internet. In order to prove that they were right, some There are truths in pictures, truths in audio, and even truths in MVs, which came into being.
Eason, watching all the turmoil on the Internet through the computer screen, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and pressed the last enter key.
The next day, people on the Internet discovered a strange phenomenon.
The new EP of Fashion Mix group is still hotly discussed. Even if there are some discordant voices, it can't overwhelm the praise at all. However, the pictures, audio and video that were originally posted on the Internet have errors and cannot be viewed. Or play, the few fish that slipped through the net can't satisfy people's curiosity at all, and it is useless except to raise the desire to "want to see" to the highest point and discard it. What is even more insane is that after downloading the packaged resources, people found that not only the format was wrong, but also a Trojan horse virus was attached to it!
Even, many people began to jokingly speculate whether Fashion Mix was protected by one or several hacker gods and became the "YOU-KNOW-WHO" on the Internet. It's just that everyone is just talking casually. After all, this matter is too incredible, and hacker masters probably don't have so much energy to take care of this kind of matter.
The more heated the discussion about the new EP, the more "victims" involved, and the more their desires were not satisfied, the more they wanted to get some news from the people who started the EP, which led to more heated discussions, thus forming a A virtuous cycle.
The more discussions, the more eagerness. After the sales peak that was not bad on the first day of release, the new EP not only did not go downhill, but directly climbed to a new peak after a short period of decline, and even had Enduring posture.
Originally, the new EP only occupied a lower-middle position on the album sales list on the first day of its release, but within a few days it climbed steadily, directly overtaking the original second place, and even eyeing the championship position . At the same time, few people doubt that it will eventually win the championship and become the biggest winner in the music world during this period.
Even the company that Fashion Mix belongs to didn't expect such a turnaround at all. They worked overtime to produce a new EP, but they were still told that they were out of stock. It seemed that although the new EP had a mediocre start, it had a lot of stamina. For a while, all the previous rumors of disbanding the group disappeared, and everyone in the company's upper management was beaming with joy, congratulating them for having another 32K real gold cash cow.
"...Did you do it?" Lying on Eason's shoulder, Sui Yuan glanced at the code on the screen that was like a scripture to him, although it was a question, his tone was very firm.
"It's me." Eason smiled slightly, "I need free publicity, but I don't need the accessories of publicity."
"How did you do it? Hacking software?" Sui Yuan knew nothing about this, and his understanding of hacking was only superficial.
"Not only." Eason covered Sui Yuan's cheek with a smile, kissed the corner of his mouth, his brows and eyes were full of confidence and pride, "This is a technology that does not belong to this world. I learned it from other worlds with higher technological levels. What I have learned, since I need it, I will use it naturally.”
Sui Yuan gave Eason a very complicated look: "Doesn't it violate the rules?"
"As long as it's not discovered or exposed." Eason twitched his lips disdainfully.
"So... did you write those songs in the EP?" Sui Yuan has always been skeptical about this, thinking that Eason—or Zhao Xihe—'s character is definitely not as delicate as those songs. It's just that the relationship between him and Eason was "stiff" at the beginning, and he didn't dare to mention it. Later, after reconciliation, he was too busy and forgot to mention it. He didn't ask until now.
"No." Eason replied very frankly, "Those are all classics from the worlds I went through before, and I dug them out of my memory to recreate them. Because I can't remember the details, I tried to make up for them. Complete and perfect, so there are some discrepancies, but the effect looks good? This probably belongs to Eason's talent."
Sui Yuan looked at Eason speechlessly, he didn't know what to say to this straightforward guy who plagiarized geography. Therefore, he could only remain silent.
Just when the two were silent and Eason was about to do something to Sui Yuan, there was a knock on the door of the room.
When Eason was interrupted, his tone was naturally not very good, and the people outside the door had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment. When they opened the door and came in, they saw the two people who were tired of being together, and turned a blind eye without changing their faces: "The manager will give you Call and say that you have been shutting down, so you found me and asked me to notify you to contact him."
Eason glanced at the phone, only to realize that it had already shut down automatically because the battery was exhausted. Nodding towards Huo Ke, Eason plugged in the charger and dialed the manager's phone.
Unexpectedly, after the notification was over, Huo Ke didn't leave like before, but stood at the door hesitantly, hesitating a little bit.
Sui Yuan looked at him, and felt that something beyond the plot was about to happen—in other words, the Fashion Mix group hadn't disbanded, and the plot couldn't be more chaotic.
Eason didn't say much to the phone, just responded a few times, and then said "I see, I'll talk to them", then hung up the phone and turned to look at Huo Ke.
"Now that the new EP has come to an end and Fashion Mix's disbandment crisis has been lifted, I think it's time for us to have a good talk—about the future direction of all of us."
"Okay." Huo Ke took a deep breath and nodded slowly, as if he had made up his mind.
Even Sui Yuan, who was always out of the situation, couldn't help becoming serious and sat up straight.
