HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 84 [084] The performance can't stop until the director yells "Cut!"
Ordinary citizens in Taiwan made impulsive purchases because of this eye-catching headline.

They couldn't help but complain that the singer named Qi Yuan was too open-minded. Isn't it said that mainlanders are more conservative than Hong Kong and Taiwan people?

Look at Qi Yuan, how is she conservative? She's spending more money than Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities.

She had an affair with her new lover right there in a dark alley, and even enlisted the help of muscular men and young lads.

When the citizens unfolded the bottom half of the newspaper, they were completely bewildered.

By North!

Hey editor, so "new love" refers to a motorcycle, right? The muscular guy and the young man are pushing the motorcycle's rear end.

It's just two friends teaching Qi Yuan how to ride a motorcycle, right? The title makes it sound like a story that can't be written.

……

alpha.

Wen Lan bought the same newspaper and showed it to Zhou Jielun and Liu Genghong. The three of them laughed until their stomachs were sore.

Liu Genghong and Zhou Jielun never imagined that they would one day make the news in this way.

"What's making you so happy?"

Wu Zhongxian seemed to be in a good mood today and walked over to the three of them.

"Brother Xian".

The three greeted Wu Zhongxian with smiles as they saw him.

“We’re watching Qi Yuan’s news. Jie Lun and Geng Hong are both on the news because of Qi Yuan,” Wen Lan replied with a smile.

Wu Zhongxian picked up the newspaper and thought to himself, "This is unbelievable! A top star in the music industry is actually hanging out with two nobodys from my company."

Wu Zhongxian glanced at Zhou Jielun and said, "Warner Music contacted me and asked you and Wenshan to come over. They said they want you two to write a song for Qi Yuan."

Wu Zhongxian initially found the whole thing quite strange.

Upon seeing this news, Wu Zhongxian finally understood.

It seems that Jay Chou and Qi Yuan have a good relationship.

"Jielun, you need to focus on writing music. The opportunity to collaborate with Qi Yuan is rare," Wu Zhongxian said in a deep voice.

"I understand, Brother Xian."

Chou Chi-lun understood that Chi-Yuan's album was a great platform for exposure, which could bring him a lot of exposure.

Maybe if people hear the songs Qi Yuan wrote on his album and think they're good, he can convince Wu Zhongxian to help him release an album.

However, Qi Yuan's decision to have Fang Wenshan partner with him was something he found hard to accept.

They weren't very good at dealing with each other in the early days.

Fang Wenshan felt that Zhou Jielun was overestimating herself by wanting to become a producer at such a young age.

Zhou Jielun felt that Fang Wenshan was from the countryside, looked rustic, and didn't seem like a lyricist.

Zhou Jielun didn't understand why Qi Yuan would seek out Fang Wenshan.

Fang Wenshan thought the same thing; he also couldn't understand why Qi Yuan wanted to find Zhou Jielun.

The two traveled together to Warner, which wasn't far from Alpha, and barely exchanged a few words along the way.

Upon arriving at Warner's recording studio, Jay Chou couldn't help but marvel at the million-dollar equipment.

Big companies are indeed big companies.

Alfa is more like a small family workshop. Although it is a record company, Wu Zhongxian's Alfa-branded records don't sell very well.

Qi Yuan made his request to the two of them: "Wen Shan, I've read the lyric book you sent last time. You're better at writing lyrics in the ancient style. Could you and Jie Lun team up, one of you composing the music and the other writing the lyrics, to create an ancient style song for me?"

Qi Yuan doesn't talk about "Chinese style" because the concept of "Chinese style" doesn't exist in the current Chinese music scene; "ancient style" is easier to understand.

Fang Wenshan was somewhat agitated; Qi Yuan truly understood him.

His lyric book has been seen by many people at Alfa, including Jay Chou.

People's opinion is that it's too profound and not straightforward enough; the lyrics don't need to be poetic.

Both of them put in their best effort when they received Qi Yuan's task, determined to write an exceptional piece that would showcase their talent to the world.

Two people who usually don't get along at Alpha were forced to communicate for the sake of creating something.

"How about I try playing it to get a feel for it?"

Jay Chou played and played for a long time, but he was still not satisfied. However, each time he played, he played better than the last.

Fang Wenshan's opinion of the young man improved slightly; he thought the young man did have some talent. There weren't many examples of Chinese-style songs in the current Chinese music scene, so it was normal that Zhou Jielun and Fang Wenshan couldn't come up with anything for the time being.

Qi Yuan told them to go back and think it over carefully, since the album wouldn't be released until the second half of the year, giving them plenty of time to create.

……

It's almost the end of April.

Qi Yuan has already recorded several songs, and the music video is also in the planning stages.

On this day, Gao Yuanyuan flew from Beijing to Taipei to play the role of White Rose in the music video for "Love Me or Him".

The red rose, of course, refers to Lin Chih-ling, whose value has increased several times over.

The story in the music video was written by Qi Yuan himself.

Zhang Hao was the first person to read the script, and he was stunned.

"This music video is based on your real experience, right? You had a white rose in Beijing, then met a red rose while working in Taipei, and then you started to have two relationships at the same time and got caught in an emotional whirlpool."

Zhang Hao really did have a huge eye on his butt after being stabbed with a small knife.

This is the first time I've seen a singer make a music video about their story.

He even doubted that Qi Yuan needed any acting skills to appear in this music video; he could just play himself.

After Zhang Hao said that, Qi Yuan felt that it was somewhat similar.

Gao Yuanyuan is from Beijing, and Lin Zhiling is from Taipei, but the order is slightly different.

He first met Lin Chih-ling while working in Taiwan, and then met Kao Yuan-yuan while shooting commercials in Beijing.

……

night.

Qi Yuan's new home near Warner.

This house was rented by Qi Yuanxin. Warner's dormitory apartment was no longer habitable and had become a daily spot for paparazzi.

Anyway, Qi Yuan doesn't lack money for rent.

Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat indignant after reading the script for "Love Me or Him": "Red Rose has a kissing scene with you, so why can't I play Red Rose?"

?

Qi Yuan was stunned for a full few seconds.

Honestly, if Gao Yuanyuan were to play the role of Red Rose, her acting skills would definitely improve tenfold.

However, Qi Yuan still rejected Gao Yuanyuan: "No, your appearance and temperament are not suitable for playing the red rose. You are more suited to playing the white rose."

Think about it, if you play the role of Red Rose, will anyone still ask you to play innocent roles in the future?

However, if you want to act, I can act it out with you at home.

After saying that, Qi Yuan pulled Gao Yuanyuan to go over the lines with him.

At first, Gao Yuanyuan was resistant, but she gradually got into character.

She imagined that Qi Yuan already had a white rose by his side, and she would take advantage of the situation. This plot was actually a little exciting!

"You want to play, but you're also afraid."

"I can't play well."

……

The ordinary scenes have been rehearsed.

Of course, the explosive ending is indispensable.

Qi Yuan pulled Gao Yuanyuan up from the stool, pushed her to the counter, and then kissed her.

This rehearsal is so realistic, it's almost too realistic.

Qi Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan couldn't control themselves and ended up filming the scene that couldn't be broadcast for an hour after their kiss.

Afterwards, exhausted Gao Yuanyuan complained, "Didn't we agree to only rehearse the lines?"

Qi Yuanyi stated righteously, "No director yelled 'cut' either."

The performance can't stop until the director yells "cut," isn't that common sense?
He took classes at the Beijing Film Academy, how could he not know?
