Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 148 Invitation to the Lantern Festival Party

Zhou Le also talked about this with Su Yingxia when he returned home.

"There were so many of them at the time, weren't you afraid he'd attack? If a fight really broke out, Ono wouldn't be able to help."

"A fight?" Zhou Le chuckled. "First of all, the fault must be on the side of the person who initiated the attack. I would never initiate the attack. Secondly, there are more of them. In this situation, fighting back can only be considered self-defense. Finally, those few of them also want to fight me? I punched Wu Jing and kicked the movie star's butt, okay?"

If the conflict escalated into a fight, Zhou Le felt that these people were not worth fighting without considering the consequences.

If you can let them leave upright, you are a waste.

After all, who would reason with you in a street fight?

Had a good sleep at night.

When Su Yingxia woke up the next morning, she saw that although the rhythm was still there, the crew of "Joy of Life" had already sent a message, directly announcing that Zhou Le had been confirmed to be the male lead.

The trigger was that the waiter posted a small part of what happened yesterday on Weibo after returning home in the evening. Although he did not name anyone, he clearly stated that he was maliciously pushed by the assistant of a popular artist yesterday, and the other party did not say a word of apology from beginning to end.

She didn't reveal her real name, but netizens quickly found out who that person was.

Therefore, Tencent Pictures’ public relations department responded quickly and announced the candidate for the leading male role right after the meeting ended early in the morning.

"Hahaha, what can we argue with Brother Le about? Just go away. There's no need to hype him up."

"He's not popular, but he's got a bad temper. How did the waiter get in your way? What's your mouth for? Even if he was in the way, wouldn't you say something?"

However, Zhou Le doesn't care about the rhythm on his side, after all, there is someone to help speak for him.

But the little girl didn't have it so easy.

The fans found the other party's contact number, the school they graduated from, and even called the hotel directly to complain. This was actually very difficult for the hotel, and the best way was to fire them.

After all, this is the lowest cost.

And the girl is just doing an internship here now.

Su Yingxia was going to the crew with Yu Shuxin and Tian Xiwei in the morning, and Zhou Ye came directly to take over the position of assistant.

Zhou Le worked out in the morning, and Zhou Ye also bought a membership card at the same gym.

Although the price is not affordable, it does not cause any pressure for Zhou Ye.

"Brother Le, is lunch still a fitness meal?"

"Well, just prepare it according to the list. You can order whatever you want to eat and keep the ticket later to be reimbursed according to the meal standard."

Zhou Ye then ordered some for himself, but it was also quite light overall.

While eating, Zhou Ye talked about the waiter being fired.

"She studied hotel management, no wonder she works in a hotel. But I thought she was looking for a formal job there," Zhou Le thought for a moment, "How about recruiting her to our company? The company doesn't have an administration department yet, and she's in logistics anyway, so it should be about the same."

"Brother Le, I'm not sure about this. After all, I haven't graduated yet."

Zhou Le nodded. "Then you can contact her and ask her if she's willing to come over. Our company's structure isn't very clear right now, so after she comes, in addition to doing administrative work, she might also have to work part-time in HR or at the front desk. The salary is 8,000 yuan a month, with all insurances and housing funds."

"Okay, then I'll contact her this afternoon."

We contacted him at 2pm and he arrived at 3pm.

"Brother Le."

The other party felt a little embarrassed after seeing Zhou Le.

Although Zhou Ye called her and asked her to come for an interview, she was worried that what she said last night would affect Zhou Le.

Because she didn't think too much about it at the time, she just felt that she should do something.

Zhou Le and that young lady helped me, but I didn't say a word. Wouldn't that be ungrateful?
Although she was later cyberbullied, she was also very angry and sad, and worried that someone would expose her offline.

"Don't be nervous, just conduct the interview as normal. Please introduce yourself first."

"Brother Le, my name is Yang Shu. I graduated from a second-tier university, majoring in hotel management, but I can use Office and Photoshop, which I learned on my own. I also received scholarships in school and joined the Party. I am very hardworking."

"Well, that's good. Do you know anything about administrative positions?"

"As for administration," Yang Shu thought about the hotel's administration staff, "it's responsible for arranging logistical work, such as checking cleaning, purchasing office supplies, entertaining guests, buying plane tickets and booking hotels for the leaders, and also spot-checking everyone's corporate culture."

"What about manpower? Do you know anything about this?"

"As for human resources, it's recruitment and attendance."

Zhou Le nodded: "Well, that's fine, as long as I understand, but what is your expected salary?"

"Can I use 4K?"

Zhou Le: “.”

“How much did you give you in the hotel before?”

“It was only 3.5k at the time.”

Zhou Le sighed.

Yang Shuxin also became nervous. Although she felt that Zhou Le was too stingy if he thought 4 was a lot, she had not graduated yet after all, and she had never worked in administration or human resources.

"I'm planning to give you 8 yuan first, but since there aren't many people in our company right now, there's not much work to do. You might only need to do something occasionally. You should do both administration and HR first, at least until you've completed your internship. If you want to stay, you can choose one of these two. If you get other offers, you can go to the other one. Is that okay with you?"

"Ok, Ok!"

Yang Shu felt that there was no need for her to refuse.

This treatment is already very generous!

"But I personally suggest that you find a long-term job. Being a waiter is fine for a while. After all, you're still young, and it's good to gain some social experience, but you still need to develop further in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Le. I will think about it carefully, but if possible, I still want to stay with us."

"Okay, then you can pack up and come to work tomorrow."

Zhou Le handed over the subsequent matters such as signing the contract to Zhou Ye. After all, the contract was ready, so he just needed to tell the accountant when the time came.

After solving this problem.

Many of Xiao Zhan’s fans online have started to criticize New Classics again, feeling that the company doesn’t care about the artist at all.

But Xinli is also innocent.

The male lead has been decided long ago, even earlier than we got the news, so what's the point of fighting over this?

Therefore, he just found Xiao Zhan alone and told him that he would definitely not get the role. This was an internal decision made by the top management and there was no point in arguing for it. Of course, the pace could be slowed down a bit, after all, black and red are still red.

It’s a good thing that the topic is very popular, and it is also a good opportunity to further screen fans.

after that.

Zhou Le also went directly to Zhang Yibai's crew.

The preliminary preparations for the unit "Encounter" have been completed.

They need to go over the plot briefly first.

"Teacher Zhou, shall we go over the scene on the bus first?"

Ren Suxi asked.

Zhou Le nodded: "Yes, sure."

Because in this part of the plot, Zhou Le only has one line.

Most of the talking was done by Ren Suxi.

However, just as Zhou Le sat down and controlled his emotions to get into the role, he suddenly heard the long-lost voice of the system in his mind.

[Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills. When your experience points reach 9000, you will be rewarded with instrument proficiency.]

[Random musical instruments are being drawn.]

Zhou Le's heart moved. Although his eyes remained the same, his mind began to become active.

"Is this the second time you've played an instrument?"

"Last time it was a drum set. But this time, if you want something a little cooler, I'd like a guitar. If you want something a little more classical, I'd like a pipa. It's all fine. I'm not picky."

Then, just as Zhou Le hoped.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving suona proficiency.]

Zhou Le: “.”

But just when Zhou Le thought it was over.

The system voice sounded again.

[If the category is repeated, an extra song will be awarded.]

"Zhou Le is a little out of character, let's do it again." Zhang Yibai said from the side.

Zhou Le reacted immediately.

I thought I was strong enough mentally, but I was still broken down.

The system is indeed abstract, and it chose suona between pipa and guitar.

The next step is to cry for the dead, which completes the three-piece funeral procession.

However, Zhou Le was a little confused for a moment when he looked at the song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" that the system rewarded as an extra reward.

After all, you can just find someone to make the songs yourself.

Even if I can use this song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" to show that I am a talented musician, it will be useless if I can't write in the future.

You can't really be like Wang Sicong.

Be a player with a 100% winning rate?
What's more, although Ms. Cai Guoqing has made a living from "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings", this is not the only song she has.

"Oh, never mind. We'll talk about it later."

"Oh, sorry, let's do it again."

Zhou Le was very into the role the second time.

Everyone applauded after the performance.

"It's a good performance. Let's just act like this. We planned to shoot it in one month, but if everything goes well, we can probably finish it in half a month at most." Zhang Yibai said.

Given that the acting skills of the two leading actors are fine.

So Zhang Yibai directly announced that filming will start tomorrow.

Shoot the interior first.

That is the part in the laboratory.

Zhou Ye followed Zhou Le and watched Zhou Le's acting skills on the set, feeling extremely envious.

I envy Zhou Le for being able to participate in such a production, and I also envy Zhou Le's acting skills.

But as she watched, she remembered what Zhou Le had said to her in the restaurant that day, that she was more suitable to play a bad woman.

"Do I really want to go down this path in the future?" Zhou Ye wasn't sure. "If I play the villainous role well, my acting range will definitely narrow. But if I follow Xiao Meng's previous path, I'll have to rely on the company's resources."

Adaptations are very popular nowadays.

If I only follow this route, I can actually shoot a lot of roles, but then my acting range will not be that wide either.

"Forget it, opportunity is more important."

The early indoor work was divided into three parts: the first was in the laboratory, the second was in the office, and the third was in the hospital.

But in the laboratory, Zhang Yibai is mainly fine-tuning the details, not only adjusting how the actors perform, but also the settings of costumes and props.

So this part alone took five days to shoot.

But perhaps because of the depth of the subject matter and Zhou Le's acting skills, every time he shows off his acting skills, his experience points soar rapidly.

The subsequent filming in the hospital and office took two days in total.

After the indoor scenes were shot, Zhang Yibai arranged for the assistant director to go out and contact the extras who had been selected earlier.

But when there are too many people, things tend to go wrong, so this part was also shot for three days.

And it happened during these three days.

Zhou Le received a call from Zhu Feng, one of the directors of "National Treasure".

"Zhou Le, do you remember what I told you last year?"

Zhou Le: "Last year, Teacher Zhu, I can't quite remember."

"Haha, last year I told you to go to the party, and now it's confirmed."

Zhou Le: “!!!”

"Really, Mr. Zhu? What kind of program will I be performing on the Spring Festival Gala? Do I have to start preparing for the program review right now?"

Zhu Feng: "Have you really forgotten? It's not the Spring Festival Gala, it's the Lantern Festival Gala. And don't underestimate this gala. This is the first Lantern Festival Gala since the establishment of CCTV, so it will attract a lot of attention."

Zhou Le suddenly realized, he remembered that this was what Zhu Feng said at that time.

"Then I will attend this Lantern Festival Gala."

"Singing. Most artists on the show only sing and do skits, but skits at the Lantern Festival Gala don't mean much, so I've arranged for you to sing. The tentative plan is for you to sing a song with Zhang Yixing."

Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhu, can I apply to sing by myself?"

It’s not because Zhou Le dislikes it.

But there is a difference between solo singing and chorus singing at a party.

Anyway, now that I have the opportunity to go, it doesn’t hurt to ask one more question. It’s no big deal.

"You're quite ambitious. Zhang Yixing is a top star, so you're taking advantage of her. But if you want to sing solo, that's not impossible. You'll have to come up with your own songs, whether you hire someone else to compose them or you compose them yourself, they must be unreleased.

At the same time, the meaning must be good. At that time, we have to go for the national style route, so you must choose a song that revolves around traditional culture. But this is just a chance. If the song is not good, the probability of being eliminated is still very high. "

As a result, the other party said this.

Zhou Le suddenly thought of the song that the system rewarded him with.

Although next year's Lantern Festival will be the Year of the Pig, there's no rule that prohibits singing about dragons, right?
"Then Teacher Zhu, can I ask what is the name of the song that Zhang Yixing and I sang?" Zhou Le asked again.

Zhu Feng: "Mapo tofu."

Zhou Le: "Then I'd better give it a try myself. I think I should be able to do it."

"Okay, when you're done, send it to me and I'll show it to my boss first."

"it is good."

After Zhou Le hung up the phone, he immediately asked Zhou Ye to take the song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" to the agency to register the copyright.

It’s not just about registering music copyright.

In addition, the 45 categories of trademarks, the sub-categories below, and all places where copyrights can be registered must also be registered. Although it will cost tens of thousands of dollars more, it can also avoid trouble and arguments in the future.

But, during this period of time.

Su Yingxia sent another message asking Zhou Le if he was willing to attend the BC dinner.

"What is the BC Dinner?"

Zhou Le now only knows about the Chanel dinner.

"It's a luxury dinner abroad, with a fashion show before it. If you build good relationships with the people there, you'll never lack fashion resources in the future."

"Does a foreign dinner mean going abroad for dinner?"

"That's not necessary. This year it's being held in Shanghai, and it's of a very high standard. You just need to socialize with people when you get there."

"Are there any of my acquaintances going?"

"If you're talking about acquaintances, you might be more familiar with Yuan Hong and his wife."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Le immediately refused: "Then I won't go. I don't know anyone particularly well, so it would be boring to go. Anyway, I'm too lazy to socialize with those foreign brands, and I can't even go up to them and flatter them. Even if I go, the most I can do is give them face and go over to eat for free."

"Okay, then I won't look for anyone."

"Do I still need to find connections?"

"Yeah, if you don't have connections, you can only be invited like Zhang Ziyi and Liu Tao."

"Then I won't go. I'd rather use the money to replace our employees' phones."

Su Yingxia laughed on the other end of the phone: "Didn't you forget that we just replaced their phones with Xiaomi phones?"

"Oh, yeah. Then let's buy each of them a tablet. They'll probably be able to use it."

"Really buy it?"

"I really want to buy them. I can't really be a capitalist, right? Oh, and I'll give them out at the annual meeting. Then they can draw a lottery and give everyone a prize. Just to tease them."

"Haha, okay, I'll arrange it then."

However, less than half an hour after Su Yingxia hung up the phone, Su Yingxia called again.

"Brother Le, I just received another call. You're invited to the B station's New Year's Eve party."

"Bilibili New Year's Eve Party? How did they find me?"

"Hey, Brother Le, do you really not know which artist has the most ghost videos on Bilibili right now?"

"Could it be me?"

"Of course it's you. Cai Xukun is also very popular this year. His basketball meme is almost going viral, but you are still the most popular. They originally wanted to invite you and Cai Xukun to perform together, but Cai Xukun didn't go."

"I go."

"Okay, then Brother Le, what show are you planning to perform?"

"If they have plans, I'll follow their lead. If they don't, I'll just sing. I'll think about what to sing later."

"it is good."

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Le got a few more jobs, which meant he had money coming in.

Although these companies give very little now, money is never unpleasant.

"Alas, I'm getting carried away now. I'm starting to think a few hundred thousand is too little. No, I can't think like that."

Zhou Le quickly adjusted his mentality.

In the following days, Zhou Le finished filming the encounter section of "My Motherland and Me", and the total filming time was only eleven days.

After the filming, the first thing Zhou Le did was to go for a free meal.

Just think of it as a reward for yourself.

After all, Zhou Le had not yet promised to share his meals with many people. In just three days, Zhou Le's weight went from 135 catties to 140 catties.

Zhou Le was stunned when he stepped on the scale.

"Haven't I pooped in the past few days? How come I'm so fat?"

After much thought, Zhou Le went to the hospital for another physical examination.

Zhou Le finally felt relieved when he saw that all the indicators in the physical examination report were normal.

Afterwards, Zhou Le returned to the crew of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice".

This place has completely stopped.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the snow to fall.

Although it can be achieved through post-production and the use of technical means, this is not what Jiang Wen wants. He would rather wait a few more months and finish filming the movie in real life.

At worst, I can go back and ask Yang Shoucheng for money.

Just when Zhou Le was concentrating on his lines and preparing to film "I Am a Singer", Yu Shuxin called him.

"Brother Le, do you have time these days? My parents want to come to our company to take a look."
