Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Chapter 145 A Certain Immortal is Going to Perform on the Spring Festival Gala!

1 month 3 day.

Ye Chong arrived at the company at eight o'clock in the morning.

Shen Ze followed behind him, carrying a thermos and a schedule, his steps very light.

"Mr. Ye, your hot coffee and today's schedule are on the table."

Ye Chong nodded, casually draped his coat over the back of the chair, and waved to him.

Shen Ze acknowledged and left.

Ye Chong pulled out his executive chair and sat down. He picked up the paper and pen on the table, unscrewed the pen cap, and placed the pen tip on the paper. He hummed a melody softly and tapped his fingers on the table to the beat.

As the lyrics and music flowed from the pen onto the paper, the outline of "Invisible Wings" gradually became clear.

He wrote very quickly; in less than half an hour, the complete lyrics and music were neatly laid out on the table.

"Ugh, this is killing me!" He leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply, then picked up the lyrics and music and scanned them again.

The song has an inspiring and heartwarming tone, which perfectly matches the positive tone of the Spring Festival Gala and is also suitable for Yifei's voice.

Getting on the Spring Festival Gala stage is more effective than a hundred clarifications; the rumors circulating online will naturally fall apart.

Of course, vocal quality is one thing, but Yifei's singing skills still need improvement!

"Click"

At that moment, the office door was gently pushed open, and Chen Zhixi walked in, wearing high heels.

She placed a stack of project documents on the corner of the table, her gaze falling on the lyrics and music. "Chongdi, is this the new song you were talking about? Written specifically for Yifei?"

Ye Chong pushed the manuscript toward her: "Oh yes, Sister Xi has a sharp eye. This is the song called 'Invisible Wings.' For now, we only have the sheet music."

Chen Zhixi picked up the manuscript and scanned it. "Not bad, kid. You've opened for business again. Your three ringtone giants are still making us money."

Ye Chong leaned back in his chair, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes: "That's not enough. If we want to get into the Spring Festival Gala, having a song isn't enough. We need to find a reliable person to introduce us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a name suddenly flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Chen Zhixi looked at him, her eyebrows twitching, and asked, "What? You've figured out a way?"

"Of course," Ye Chong picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts. "You just met me a couple of days ago, Senior Brother Zhang Yang."

"and then?"

Ye Chong didn't say anything more, found Zhang Yang's number, and dialed it directly.

The phone was answered after two rings, and Zhang Yang's voice came through the receiver. "Junior Brother Ye? What's the matter?"

""

"Senior, I have something to ask you. Have you cast the male lead for your film 'Getting Home'?"

"It's settled," Zhang Yang replied with a smile. "Thanks to you, as soon as the script was finalized, I contacted Professor Ben Shan, and he agreed."

Ye Chong was overjoyed and quickly followed up, saying, "That's great, Senior Brother. I was just about to ask you for a favor. Could you introduce me to Teacher Zhao?"

Zhang Yang on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Sure, it's no big deal. Junior brother, what do you want to do?"

Ye Chong didn't hide anything and briefly told Zhang Yang about his desire to get Yi Fei on the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhang Yang already owed him a favor, and besides, he was also an investor, so this little thing shouldn't be a big problem.

Ye Chong's way of getting in touch was with Teacher Zhao Benshan, who is a regular guest on the Spring Festival Gala and has a very important position in the program.

With his help in making connections and introductions, it's much more useful than going to people at CCTV yourself.

"Sure! It's no trouble at all." Zhang Yang readily agreed. "I have a dinner appointment with Teacher Zhao tomorrow anyway."

"It's at Cuihua Tower. Just bring your people over, and I'll introduce you."

Ye Chong's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Brother! I'll be there on time tomorrow!"

After hanging up, he immediately called Yifei. The phone rang twice before she answered: "Hey? Little man, why are you calling me at this hour? Don't you have to work?"

Ye Chong leaned back in his chair, his tone full of smugness: "Sister, I've found you a way to get on the Spring Festival Gala. Whether it works or not, we'll see tomorrow."

Yifei on the other end of the phone went silent for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise after a few seconds.

"Spring Festival Gala? What does the Spring Festival Gala have to do with it? Aren't you going to release a song?"

"Releasing songs is just a means; the real goal is the Spring Festival Gala." Ye Chong sniffed, not explaining much more: "Come with me to Cuihualou tomorrow to see Teacher Zhao Benshan."

"Why are you mentioning Teacher Benshan again?"

"We'll find out when we get there tomorrow anyway."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Ye Chong coaxed her a couple of times before hanging up the phone.

The following day at noon, in a private room on the second floor of Cuihualou.

Exquisite cold dishes were laid out on the mahogany round table, and steam rose from the hot teapot.

Ye Chong arrived first with Yi Fei and Liu's mother, and sat near the door to wait.

Ten minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Zhang Yang walked in first, followed by Zhao Benshan.

Ye Chong and the other two immediately stood up and went to greet him: "Teacher Zhao, hello, hello, I am Ye Chong, I have long admired your name."

"My god, so Director Zhang, your junior brother is such a master!" Zhao Benshan laughed and then turned to look at Yi Fei.

"Wow, this game is going to be tough!"

Zhang Yang patted Zhao Benshan on the shoulder and introduced him, "This is my junior brother, Ye Chong, director Yinshi. And this is—um, his wife and her mother!"

Hmm? Director Zhang, what do you mean by this?

Zhao Benshan was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he understood.

This is a show of sincerity. What secrets are there in the entertainment industry's circle of friends? It's just that unspoken rules have made everyone choose to keep quiet.

If you attack me today, can't I attack you tomorrow?

Zhao Benshan then looked at the two people opposite him.

Yifei blushed, clearly acquiescing.

Ye Chong then stretched out his hand and grasped it.

"Director Ye, I've heard so much about you."

"Haha, you're too kind, Teacher Zhao."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group took their seats in turn.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere at the table became lively.

Ye Chong put down his wine glass and steered the conversation to business: "Teacher Zhao, the main reason I invited you here today is to ask you for a favor. I wrote a song for my girlfriend, Yifei, and I'd like to try it out for this year's Spring Festival Gala."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Benshan sniffed and looked at Yi Fei beside him: "I know this girl, she's like a fairy, with a good image and a lot of audience appeal. The Spring Festival Gala should have sent you an invitation, right?"

"Yes!" Yi Fei's words made Ye Chong's eyes widen.

"Wait! Sister." Ye Chong didn't care whether the address was right or wrong and quickly stopped her.

"Did they send you an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Uh—" Yifei blinked, tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It was posted before last year."

"What the hell!" Ye Chong was utterly speechless.

"I sent you an invitation, why didn't you go?"

"Do you really have to go?" Yi Fei frowned, looking Ye Chong up and down. "What kind of logic is that? Can't I refuse?"

""

Seeing this, Ye Chong reacted in a completely different way: "So all you did was get me to perform on the Spring Festival Gala? I've already refused twice!"

Don't tell! You really shouldn't tell.

Ye Chong thought about it and realized that, given his older sister's personality, she really might do such a thing.

Looking back on her past life of over twenty years, she participated in very few entertainment variety shows and Spring Festival Galas (local TV stations).

She has always been someone who disdains marketing.

"Director Ye." Zhao Benshan across from him raised his glass, and Ye Chong quickly clinked glasses with him.

"bite""

The wine glasses clinked on the table. Chen Zhixi, Liu's mother, and Zhang Yang remained silent, watching how things would unfold.

"Tsk—ha." After taking a sip of his drink, Zhao Benshan smiled and looked at the two of them: "So, Director Ye, is Yifei still going to be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

Ye Chong didn't speak, but turned to look at Yi Fei.

Yifei glanced at her little man's big, watery eyes, then turned to look at Liu's mother, who was full of expectation, and finally nodded.

"Okay." Zhao Benshan chuckled, then paused and his smile faded. "I can help, but let me make this clear from the start: the song needs to be finished quickly, the performers need to go through the audition process with the production team, and they can't miss any of the rehearsals."

Zhao Benshan knew that Yifei still had a movie to film!

Ye Chong felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders and quickly picked up his glass to stand up: "Thank you so much, Teacher Zhao! We understand the rules, and we certainly won't cause you any trouble!"

As he spoke, he tilted his head back and drank the liquor in his glass in one gulp. Yifei and Liu's mother quickly stood up to thank him.

The lively dinner party lasted for another hour before finally coming to an end.

After seeing Zhao Benshan off, Ye Chong stood at the restaurant entrance for a long time.

"Little man, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Chong glanced at Yi Fei, whose face was flushed from drinking a little wine, and shook his head.

His thinking was very simple.

We need to speed up filming and strive for awards so that we won't have to ask others for help in the future, but will instead have others come to us for help.
