This director is so innocent.

Chapter 107 Dream Fulfilled

Time flew by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Jin sat in her office, holding an A4 sheet of paper in her hand. It was the list of singers submitted by Yang Qing and Wu Ershan.

It has to be said that the two of them were extremely enthusiastic about filming the music video for the Olympic theme song, so much so that they temporarily put their own movies aside.

The shooting schedule was perfect, and the content was almost exactly what he had said before, except that there were more names on the list of singers.

He previously mentioned 100 celebrities, but the two of them added 23 more.

The A4 paper was filled with writing, including celebrities and big names from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Every name I could think of was written down and categorized.

Hong Kong celebrities: Jackie Chan, Four Heavenly Kings, Five Tigers, Karen Mok, Kenji Wu, Nicholas Tse, Leung Wing-ki, Yung Tse. Taiwanese celebrities: Zhou Jiejie, Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian, Qi Qin, Richie Jen, Wang Leehom, Jolin Tsai, S.H.E.

Mainland Chinese stars: Han Hong, Liu Huan, Han Lei, Li Lianjie, Chen Daoming, the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in Chinese cinema), Tan Jing, Li Yuchun, Sun Nan, Wang Piku (a popular Chinese actor) ———

Overseas Chinese: Fei Xiang, Sun Yanzi, Lin Junjie —

After thinking for a moment, Su Jin picked up her pen and crossed out a few veteran comrades. Veteran comrades should carry forward the spirit of dedication and give more opportunities to young people. They don't need this little bit of publicity.

Then, those who were considered low-class, had wavering stances, or were suspected of having a bad track record were crossed out, such as Jolin Tsai and F.I.R.

Singers such as Liu Genghong.

Finally, I added a few more of my favorites, and of course, I had to add my own people: Sister Xia, Lu Fangsheng, Luo Jin, and Architect Jiang.

I originally wanted to add the teeth marks as well, but I figured other people wouldn't care, so I didn't.

Subtracting the crossed-out ones and adding the added ones, there are 93 left.

There are still too many people. Let's cross out 8 more, leaving 5 or 6 for the leader to cross out. Perfect.

This administrative system is really something!

You can't be too perfect; you have to give your leader a chance to perform. Otherwise, if you do something too perfect, it will make your leader seem incompetent.

Give the list to Xiaoying and ask her to organize it, then send it along with the shooting schedule to Zhong Lifang.

Then I'll start writing "The Maze Runner," which should be finished in another three or four days.

Less than an hour later, Su Jin received a call from Zhong Lilao, who said that the shooting schedule and singer list were fine and could be submitted.

In the afternoon, I drove with Xiaoying to the Olympic Building.

As for why not send an email?

There's no sincerity in sending an email in person.

Of course, emails will also be sent.

"Secretary Wang, is the boss free? I've already prepared the filming schedule and the list of singers."

"The boss is in a meeting and doesn't have time right now, give this to me first! I'll pass it on to the boss later."

"Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Wang. I'll head back now." Su Jin handed him the shooting schedule and singer list, then turned and left.

"Director Su, wait a moment," Secretary Wang called out.

Su Jin turned around and looked at Secretary Wang with a puzzled expression.

Secretary Wang looked hesitant, opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to say it, as if she had something difficult to say.

"Secretary Wang?" Su Jin said softly.

Secretary Wang sighed, took a photo from the drawer, walked up to Su Jin, and said, "Director Su, my daughter really likes you and keeps asking for your autograph. Could you please—"

Su Jin was stunned, not expecting that Secretary Wang was making things difficult for her because he wanted her autograph.

Secretary Wang is not young, he's over thirty, and it's normal for him to have a daughter. I estimate that after another year or two of training, he'll be sent out to work as a leader in a certain region.

"What's the trouble? It's just a small thing." Su Jin took the photo; it was a portrait of herself.

As he signed the autographs, he asked, "Secretary Wang, does your daughter like my novels? I have quite a few in my car."

"Thank you, Director Su."

"Secretary Wang, you're too kind. It's nothing." Su Jin told Xiao Ying to go to the car and get the novel and photo poster.

He always keeps novels, book posters, and photos in the trunk of his car, just in case something like this happens.

Seven minutes later, Xiaoying walked in carrying a pile of books.

Each novel consists of three copies, five posters, and five photos.

Seeing this, Secretary Wang sighed inwardly, thinking that Su Jin not only relied on her talent to make a living, but also knew how to conduct herself; she even considered her daughter's classmates.

Perhaps Su Jin would even consider giving the child to his colleague if his daughter didn't want it.

Su Jin spent five or six minutes signing these items, and even thoughtfully added a "To" signature to one of the books.

"Secretary Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"Take care, Director Su!"

The photoshoot for Jeanswest's New Year's GG in Chaoyang District.

After inspecting the site, Director Li felt it was excellent, with a particularly strong sense of traditional Chinese style.

"President Su, thank you so much!"

"You're too kind, it's what I should do," Su Jin said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two went outside.

Su Jin pointed to the antique-style balcony on the second floor and said, "Director Li, you can hire someone dressed in ancient costume to play the zither, flute, or dance there every night. That should attract a lot of customers."

This idea naturally came from China Gold, where young women dance every day.

Upon hearing Su Jin's words, Director Li immediately envisioned the scene, and his expression became excited. He quickly nodded in agreement.

He thought the set design was already a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect this little surprise as well.

That 150 million yuan director and planner fee was really worth it.

"Mr. Su, would you be interested in a part-time job?"

Seeing that Su Jin was about to refuse, Director Li quickly raised his hand and said, "Don't refuse yet. Listen to my conditions. I can propose to the higher-ups that you receive an annual salary of 500,000 yuan and not have to work regular hours. However, when our company opens its own franchise stores in the future, I would appreciate it if you could provide some suggestions."

Su Jin refused outright; this plan was all borrowed, and he had no idea how to do it.

Besides, you can get by with 500,000 for a commercial performance, why bother going to work a regular job!

His current performance fee is really 500,000, I'm not bragging.

Previously, coal mine owners and real estate developers had offered him 500,000 yuan to attend their birthday parties and opening ceremonies, after tax.

He rejected them all.

That's too low-class; I don't need the money.

Half an hour later, preparations were complete, and filming began.

The next day, in the morning.

Sister Xia flew in from Hengdian.

She played Mu Nianci in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," a role with few scenes, so she could easily take time off.

She herself was very enthusiastic. She could get money and see her beloved Brother Jin. How could she not be happy?

"Brother Jin".

As soon as Liu Shishi saw Su Jin, she shouted and ran towards him, her voice filled with joy.

"Stop." Su Jin, holding the shooting schedule, raised her hand to stop her.

"Hmph, it's been so long since we last met, and you won't even give me a hug." Liu Shishi pouted, hands on her hips, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean it's been so long? It's only been half a month!"

"A day apart feels like three autumns."

"You've really made something of yourself; you can even use idioms now."

"Of course."

"Then tell me, how many years is that?"

Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment, then started counting on her fingers, but in the end, she got confused herself.

"I don't care, it's been a long time anyway."

A mediocre student is a mediocre student, even worse than someone who took shortcuts to get into university. All their talent went into their looks; they can't think straight at all.

Fifteen days multiplied by three years, that's it.

"Stop being so arrogant, go and learn some street dance moves from the instructor so you don't mess things up on stage."

"oh."

Su Jin began filming footage of Luo Jin playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football).

Luo Jin had just returned from the set of "Red Cliff" a couple of days ago. He played Guan Ping and only filmed for a week before coming back.

His promotional video clips were also very simple, and they were completed in just one hour.

Next, they filmed Su Jin turning around and kicking the football away, followed by a parkour sequence, and finally shooting an arrow at the standing drum.

This afternoon we filmed a segment featuring the blind woman.

She was originally a professional dancer with a solid foundation, and after a morning of practice, she was already able to master those street dance moves.

The filming went very smoothly.

"Brother Jin, can I wear this outfit back?"

"Can."

"Brother Jin, let's go get some late-night snacks!"

"Having a late-night snack? Aren't you rushing to catch your flight back to Hengdian?"

It's not afternoon now, it's already past nine o'clock at night.

"The flight is at 11 o'clock, there's plenty of time."

"Okay, you go first, I'll pack my things."

"I'm waiting for you."

Su Jin shook her head and smiled, gave some instructions to the assistant director, and then took Xia Jie to eat barbecue.

The food was from a roadside stall, and it attracted quite a crowd when it arrived at the location.

However, after signing autographs and taking photos with them, they dispersed.

"Brother Jin, you're so popular right now!"

"Hahaha—not bad."

"When do you think I'll ever be as popular as you?"

"tomorrow."

"A rumor?" Liu Shishi blinked her big, bright eyes as she looked at Su Jin.

"What's that little head of yours thinking about all day?"

I think about you every day!

"Get lost, eat your barbecue."

Soon, after finishing the barbecue, Su Jin took Liu Shishi to the airport.

"Brother Jin, won't you give me a hug?"

"Want me to flick you on the head?"

"want."

"Ah!" Liu Shishi rubbed her head and pouted, "Brother Jin, why did you actually play it!"

"Wasn't this what you asked for yourself, idol?"

"I was just saying it casually, who knew you would actually take it seriously."

"Stop talking nonsense, get off the bus quickly, or you'll miss your flight."

Goodbye, Brother Jin.

Three days later, GG finished filming.

Su Jin brought the promotional video materials to Yu Xi's studio, ready to hand them over for production.

"Lao Yu, how far along are you in the post-production of 'W: Two Worlds'?"

"Boss, it's only been a month."

"Can it be done by mid-October?"

"able."

Su Jin nodded and then handed him the promotional video materials.

"This is a promotional video for Jeanswest's GG brand. Please do some post-production work."

"OK." Yu Xi took the hard drive and then connected it to the computer.

A moment later, he looked at the screen with a look of shock on his face.

He turned to look at Su Jin and asked, "What style is this?"

Having been in the industry for several years, he had never seen a promotional video of this style before. It was beautiful and had a classical Chinese feel to it.

"Chinese style, isn't that awesome!"

"Awesome, absolutely gorgeous."

Xu Cheng smiled and explained some editing tips to Yu Xi before returning to the company.

"The Maze Runner" is done, and the Jeanswest promotional video is done too. Now all that's left is the recording and music video for "Welcome to Beijing".

The.

Once I've sorted out these two things, I can join the cast of "Nightclub".

The scene for "Nightclub" is also done. It's very simple, just a 200-square-meter supermarket, and there's no other place.

It was all done in just over two weeks, and now we're just waiting for the actors to arrive.

The next day, in the morning.

Su Jin received a call from Secretary Wang, who said that the shooting schedule and singer list had been approved by the leadership and there were no problems, and a few names had been deleted.

Wu'ershan was sent over to assist Secretary Wang in inviting the singer.

If he were to try to get those celebrities to come on his own, he would have to use a lot of persuasion, and there's no guarantee he would even be able to.

The official approach is different. Once they play the card of assisting in the recording of the Olympic theme song, it doesn't matter if you're attending an event or holding a concert.

If you don't come, we'll label you.

I despise you from my moral high ground.

After three days of invitations and much persuasion, most of the celebrities on the list agreed.

Aside from a few Hong Kong and Taiwanese artists, they're incredibly awesome.

He said he was too busy to hold a concert.

Li Lianjie also refused, stubbornly refusing to come, saying she couldn't sing, that her voice was bad, and that she wouldn't come.

In contrast, Fang Shilong was very patriotic. Upon hearing the matter, he agreed without hesitation.

All four Heavenly Kings came, but the God of Songs was reluctant and didn't really want to come. Later, Su Jin asked Old Yang to persuade him to come.

With others offering such assistance, Su Jin also chimed in and added his company's Twins to the group.

Rong Zuer doesn't need help; she's already on the list.

Old Yang reciprocated by sending abalone from afar, fulfilling his dream of having a dragon and two phoenixes.

Jay Chou also came.

He hasn't written "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" yet, and he agreed quite readily.

These people are here to film a music video. There will also be a live version at the Temple of Heaven, which is part of the 100-day countdown gala for the Olympics.

Actually, the news of recording the Olympic theme song had already spread when they were calling celebrities.

Celebrities who didn't answer the phone all wanted to ride the wave of his popularity, and both those who called him personally and those who tried to pull strings annoyed him to no end.

Later, he shifted all the blame to the song selection office, saying he couldn't make the decision, and changed his phone number, which made things much better.

By the way, I also finished recording those five songs during this time. I haven't filmed the music videos yet because I don't have time. I'll film them later.

This week, I almost got yelled at to death by Xiao Ke.

He wasn't a professional to begin with, and before he'd even sung two lines, he was criticized for things like the key being wrong, the pitch being too high, the pitch being too low, and the emotion being off.

In short, he was very unprofessional. If the song hadn't been so good and Su Jin hadn't been so sincere, Xiao Ke wouldn't have wanted to be the producer.

Actually, it's not that Su Jin is too bad, but that Xiao Ke's expectations are too high.

His requirement was that he at least reached Sun Nan's level.

But Su Jin is only at the level of a pop singer.

What level is a pop singer?

That means reaching the passing grade, a level of 60 or 70 points.

Sun Nan's level is at least 80 points, while Tan Jing's level is above 9000 points, and they can easily handle various musical styles.

When Tan Jing, the "Great Demon King," participated in "I Am a Singer," he easily defeated a group of people. After participating for five episodes, he found it boring and withdrew from the competition.
