Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 691 The First Step to Becoming an International Star

When Xu Yien woke up the next day, she looked radiant.

Even if I see comments from haters on Weibo, I just laugh it off.

Your words are of no use to me because I am doing really well.

Especially since Dior also transferred the money.

There is nothing more joyful than making money.

If so, then continue to earn more.

Nazha just rested at Xu Yien's house.

It was ten o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining on her butt, but she was still sleeping soundly.

Xu Yien didn't disturb her and left first.

Today’s schedule – recording of songs at Warner Music in Yanjing.

"Yes or No" is Xu Yien's first step towards becoming an international star.

Today's domestic entertainment industry is well-known in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, but it is not considered international at all.

To be considered an international celebrity, you have to have influence outside of Asia.

Because Japanese Korea is originally the place where China's entertainment industry is exported.

Being able to become famous in Asia by relying on the help of domestic entertainment itself does not mean you are an international star.

To be considered an international celebrity, you have to be well-known in other regions.

The reason why Jackson is treated so well by LV and Cartier is because he has influence overseas.

The reason why Zhang Ziyi was able to clear out Cannes is also because of her overseas influence.

The same is true for Liu Yifei. Although the Disney movie "Mulan" flopped at the box office, it did not prevent her from playing the leading role in this movie in Hollywood.

Regardless of whether the performance was a flop or a hit, it was already valuable enough in terms of resume.

If you insist on saying that "Mulan" was a huge hit, there's no need to do that;
Recently, she signed a contract with Bulgari thanks to the hit drama "Dream of Red Mansions", becoming its global brand spokesperson with excellent treatment.

When it comes to high-end luxury, Liu Yifei has enough to brag about. Except for the low quality of her Tissot watch, her ready-to-wear clothes and jewelry are all very high-end.

In terms of fashion resources among the 85 flowers, besides Liu Yifei, there is Ni Ni, both of whom wear blue-blood ready-made clothes and top-level jewelry.

There is no comparison in terms of watch brands. Jaeger-LeCoultre is far from comparable to Tissot, and Ni Ni is far ahead.

Liu Cheng drove Xu Yien to Warner Music.

Sitting in the back row, Xu Yien and Shen Yujie chatted and agreed to meet tonight.

I'll just "drive" Nazha out of the house and let Xiao Shen come over.

Just find a cleaning lady to clean the room.

Huang Yu even took Yi to his ex-wife's house to have fun, and Xu Yien was having fun at his own home, what's wrong with that?

Warner still has high hopes for Xu Yien.

Although it was only a single release contract, the publicity and promotion treatment given was the highest in the industry.

After talking with the person in charge, Xu Yien didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point and started recording the song.

Xu Yien is very familiar with this song.

It's not difficult and there's no need to sing high notes, so it's naturally easy and simple.

"This ain't another love song baby
This ain't no ordinary love song, baby
It's my way of putting feelers out
It's my way of testing your feelings.
All the traffic in my head's going crazy
My mind is full of thoughts and I'm going crazy
I'm gonna trust my heart right now
Now I decide to trust my heart

......"

It's enough that the melody is pleasant. If the song is too difficult, Xu Yien can't sing it, and amateur singers can't reach the high notes either.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Due to the high requirements for the song, Xu Yien recorded it several times in a row and finally passed it.

The demo is amazing, the melody is there, and Xu Yien's voice is also very nice. There is no need to worry too much, after all, he is a man with a hit single.

The person in charge came over and talked to Xu Yien about the MV.

Actually, Xu Yien felt that it was not necessary to go through so much trouble, and it would be fine if the MV did not need to be filmed, but under strong suggestions, Xu Yien decided to film one.

Xu Yien doesn't have any particularly good ideas, and the ideas Warner gave him were all pretty tacky...

why would you say so?

Because Warner Bros. signed the down-and-out Little Pig and had the president of the Asia-Pacific region fly to Taipei in person to give him a face, it's impossible for the creative idea not to be tacky.

Warner in the Asia-Pacific region is not the same as Warner in Europe and the United States, so they cannot be generalized.

If Warner Asia Pacific was so capable, it wouldn't have prevented the downtrodden pig from releasing a single good song.

To this end, after consulting with Warner, Xu Yien sent the demo to Jackson and asked him to help with some reference.

For existing international friends, isn’t it easy to come up with MV ideas?
As for Jeon Jungkook, Seo Yien didn't ask for his opinion.

You copied someone else's song and then asked for his opinion. Isn't that just like going all out? It's inappropriate, totally inappropriate.

After more than ten minutes, Jiaer replied.

His daily life is not particularly busy and is quite relaxed. Apart from concerts and brand events, he lives a very comfortable life.

His first feeling was like hearing heavenly music and his ears were temporarily clear.

The first message Jackson sent to Xu Yien was: [Brother, is this really a song you wrote? Damn, if you keep going this way, I feel like I'm going to have trouble…]

Xu Yien saw the message he sent and laughed a little: "Okay, I'm just asking for your opinion. I'm planning to make a music video for this song. Do you have any good suggestions or creative ideas?"

Jackson sighed for a long time and kept saying how well Xu Yien wrote this song.

It took a long time to get to the point of the MV.

It's a very constructive suggestion.

The general idea is: the male and female protagonists of the MV have a conflict, and the male protagonist keeps singing this song to coax the female protagonist, and remains unmoved even if there are temptations from other girls in the middle.

This is a pretty good idea.

【Thumbs up/.】

[As expected of you, you have made some great achievements.]

【Thank you Lao Wang for your support, and you, my friend, are the real hero. 】

【Motherland.GIF】

Xu Yien sent four messages in a row.

Jackson: [We're all friends, that's the way it should be.] Xu Yien: [That's it for now. I'll go talk to him and see if it works. We'll talk later.]

Carl: [OK.]

His song "pretty please" is roughly based on this idea, the only difference is that the MV has the male protagonist pursuing the female protagonist.

Jeon Jungkook’s “Seven” MV is also of this type.

Although it has been used by many people, it is very useful.

Especially the pitiful pursuit of the heroine can arouse the feelings of female audiences.

No one can resist such a handsome and cute man.

The concepts are similar, and Xu Yien thinks it is feasible.

You can't just imitate Jay Chou's "Christmas Star" and go shopping on the street. It's too old-fashioned and doesn't fit the aesthetic of Xu Yien's new-age hexagonal warrior.

Afterwards, Xu Yien discussed this idea with the person in charge, and they finally decided on it.

The only thing to consider is the choice of the MV heroine.

Tongtong is not a good choice. We have worked together too many times and we cannot be too partial to one over the other.

The same is not possible for Coconut. We will have to do it again next time, so there is no need to shoot a MV.

Even Lao Ba couldn't do it, "She loves it so much" was a hot topic and everyone knew it.

Sister Meng is too naive and doesn’t have the temperament of a proud person.

Nazha is a bit too hot, also OUT.

think carefully.

Xu Yien let Cheng Xiao play the female lead.

She has a good figure, is beautiful, and has a proud temperament.

The overall feeling is consistent with the heroine of the song.

Don’t you think I’m not good at singing English songs?
This time I must make you feel proud.

The song is popular, so is the MV heroine afraid that she won’t be able to reap the benefits? That doesn’t make sense.

In Taiwan, those who have played the female lead in Jay Chou's MV have an advantage in acting.

For example, Liu Hana, who played the female lead Xia Zhixing in "My Lucky Star", passed the first round of interviews just because she had appeared in Jay Chou's MV.

Even so, she had never acted before.

This shows how valuable the female lead in Jay Chou’s MV is.

Because Jay Chou is so popular, the MV itself can bring a lot of attention to the heroine.

The same is true for Grandpa Wo and Miyoshi Ayaka in "Promise Not to Cry".

Han So Hee played the heroine in Jeon Jungkook's "Seven", and also gained extremely high attention and popularity.

As long as the song is popular enough, the MV heroine will definitely get bonuses.

It was decided that after the Weibo Night on the 25th, we would start filming in Shanghai.

Just communicate with Xiaoxiao later.

After everything was communicated, it was two o'clock in the afternoon and Xu Yien had lunch with the person in charge.

I was still very hungry at this time because I hadn't eaten lunch. People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel very hungry. Therefore, Xu Yien ate a lot for this meal.

When I'm not filming, I can indulge my appetite appropriately.

Although Xu Yien was not too restrained when filming.

After finishing the meal, Xu Yien said goodbye first.

Sitting in the back seat as usual, Xu Yien sent the demo to Cheng Xiao.

It’s bad, it seems like I broke my promise.

At first, he said that he would let Xiaoxiao hear it first besides the producer, but now he let Jiaer hear it first.

But it doesn’t matter, Xiaoxiao can be the first girl to hear it.

Given enough qualifiers, there will be many firsts.

The entertainment industry has always been like this.

This is especially true for domestic entertainment.

After going around in circles, there is no distinction between you and me, we are all in first place, how interesting.

After listening to it, Cheng Xiao was also surprised. The idol has musical literacy and she could tell how great this song is.

Before I even heard the ending, I saw a WeChat pop-up window. It was a message from Xu Yien: [You will be the female lead in the MV.]

Cheng Xiao was obviously surprised: [You want to shoot a music video? ]

Xu Yien: [Yes.]

Cheng Xiao: [Oh, okay, I take it back. You're too ambitious. This song is great. Where did the inspiration come from?]

Xu Yien thought about it and sent a message: [Can't you tell the lyrics? The inspiration comes from your reluctant but willing attitude during sex.]

[Hey, please don't speak so arrogantly all of a sudden, okay?]

Cheng Xiao was a little shy and even typed the wrong word.

Xu Yien continued: [Hahahahahaha, the filming in Shanghai is on the 26th, don't forget your schedule, you won't be shortchanged on the notice fee.]

Cheng Xiao: [Talking about money hurts feelings.]

Xu Yien: [It's not me who's producing it, it's Warner.]

Cheng Xiao: [Hahahaha, fine, I'll be polite if I refuse~]

Cheng Xiao didn't hesitate at all.

Although she has been releasing songs one after another, there has been no response.

What's wrong with being the heroine in the MV of a hit single this time?
All benefits and no harm!
The only possible consequence is that the marketing account will dig up the scandal and then be scolded by Yi Mi.

This is all trivial~
Anyway, I've been scolded once while filming, so what's the big deal if I get scolded again?

Cheng Xiao's thoughts were exactly the same as Xu Yien's.

Your words are of no use to me because I am doing really well.
