Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Bi Xiaoshi, unaware of what he was thinking, continued, "Wang Yuelun has an art background and a strong visual sense. This year, his film 'One-Third Ideal' for Zheng Jun won an American music video award, I think it's called VMAs. This is a very prestigious award, not many people in China have won it. In addition, he has collaborated with Yu Quan and Faye Wong, and has a very good reputation."

Song Mo picked up Wang Yuelun's portfolio and flipped through it. The images were indeed exquisite, with a cinematic feel in both composition and color.

He nodded to himself, realizing that this guy wasn't entirely without ability after all.

"The second one is Lin Bingcun." Bi Xiaoshi pointed to the next document. "He's from Taiwan. He's mainly been developing his career in mainland China these past few years. He directed the music video for Sun Nan's song 'Salvation.' The visuals are very dynamic, and he's good at shooting grand scenes."

Song Mo glanced at Lin Bingcun's work; the style was rather rugged, the visual language was very direct, and it was suitable for powerful songs.

"The third one is Jin Zhuo." Bi Xiaoshi's tone became more serious when he mentioned this name. "He's also a veteran in Taiwan. He directed many of Wang Leehom's music videos in recent years. I heard that the headquarters also asked him to help with JJ Lin's album 'Music Voyager' this time."

Upon hearing the name Jin Zhuo, Song Mo's mind stirred.

He knew this person; he was indeed a veteran director who produced delicate and high-quality films and was very good at capturing the essence of singers.

Most importantly, this person later collaborated with JJ Lin quite a bit; he directed the music video for "Jiangnan".

After Bi Xiaoshi finished his introduction, he leaned back in his chair and looked at Song Mo: "These three are the most suitable candidates at the moment. Which one do you have in mind?"

Song Mo didn't answer immediately. He flipped through the three people's information again, a few thoughts swirling in his mind.

Wang Yuelun just won a major award, which is an internationally recognized honor, but I've also seen Zheng Jun's MV, and the composition and everything else is terribly ugly.

The style is clearly not suitable for his album, and since he just won an award, he might not even be interested in a newcomer like him.

As the saying goes, these days, anything related to foreign countries can make even the smallest thing go viral.

Although Lin Bingcun has filmed music videos with large-scale scenes, there are no songs on his albums that require grand scenes.

While "Happy Worship" requires color, rhythm, and youthful energy, "Jiangnan" needs a lingering sense of time travel between the modern and the ancient, Lin Bingcun might not be the right fit.

As for Jin Zhuo, Song Mo felt that he might be more suitable. On the one hand, he has been working in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he has a good grasp of the current trends in music videos.

On the other hand, after all, he had filmed the music video for "Jiangnan" in his previous life. Although that music video was also simple, it had the right feel to it.

Thinking of this, Song Mo took out Jin Zhuo's information separately and placed it on the table.

"Let's choose him," he said.

Bi Xiaoshi glanced at it and nodded: "Jin Zhuo? He's currently in Taiwan. I need to talk to him about his schedule."

"Okay, Mr. Bi, could you contact him for me?" Song Mo said. "I want to talk to him in person and hear his understanding of these songs."

"Okay." Bi Xiaoshi put the documents away. "I'll contact them tomorrow."

Xu Yuan chimed in from the side, "Should we also make an appointment with Wang Yuelun? Just in case Jin Zhuo's schedule is unavailable, we'll have a backup option."

Song Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but Jin Zhuo is still the first choice."

The three of them chatted for a bit more about the budget and shooting schedule for the music video, and settled on a general framework.

At this moment, Xu Yuan spoke up again, "You mentioned before that you wanted to add a simple dance before 'Happy Worship'. I've already hired a dance teacher. You guys can practice together tomorrow."

Song Mo nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then let's start tomorrow. Keep the movements simple, nothing too complicated. The main thing is to coordinate with the camera and have a sense of rhythm."

Xu Yuan responded and made a note in his notebook.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Song Mo got up and went back to the recording studio.

Pushing open the door, Angela Chang was standing in front of the microphone, wearing headphones, while Guo Liang gestured something to her from behind the mixing console.

Following Guo Liang's instructions, she sang the chorus again, her voice clear and bright, much more relaxed than when she arrived in the afternoon.

After finishing the song, Guo Liang took off his headphones and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you're in good form. Let's call it a day, my voice needs a rest."

Angela Chang came out of the recording studio, saw Song Mo, and smiled: "You're done with your meeting?"

"Okay." Song Mo handed her a bottle of water. "You might have a hard time tomorrow, we need to practice dancing."

"Dance practice?" Angela Chang took the water, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and blinked. "I know, Teacher Xu mentioned it to me before we came. It's the part before 'Happy Worship,' right?"

Song Mo nodded: "The movements aren't difficult. The main thing is to coordinate with the camera and have a sense of rhythm."

Angela Chang responded, but her expression still showed a hint of nervousness. She could sing well, but she had never actually learned to dance.

Guo Liang, who was packing things up nearby, said without looking up, "It's okay. Your part doesn't involve much movement. It mainly relies on camera cuts. Just stand there and sing. Xiao Song's part involves more movement."

After they finished packing up, they left the recording studio.

In the corridor, Xu Yuan was already waiting, smiling as he said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a welcome meal. It's Angela's first time in Yanjing, we have to have a good meal."

Angela Chang quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, you're too kind."

"Of course," Xu Yuan said, leading the group outside.

The welcome dinner was at a restaurant near the company. It wasn't big, but the food was exquisite. Several cold dishes were already laid out on the round table in the private room, steaming hot.

Not long after Song Mo and Angela Zhang sat down, the door was pushed open, and Xu Yuan led a girl in.

The girl's eyes lit up the moment she saw Song Mo, and she couldn't tear herself away.

Angela Chang had to call out, "Julie, please sit down."

"Angela, I'm here!" Upon hearing this, Julie quickly ran over and sat down next to Angela Chang, but her eyes kept glancing towards Song Mo.

Angela Chang poured her a cup of tea and said softly, "Weren't you resting at the hotel? Why are you here?"

"Teacher Xu picked me up." Julie leaned close to her ear, her voice low, but the private room was small, and Song Mo still heard her. "Hanhan, is that Song Mo? He's hot. I should have stayed home and gone to the recording studio with you."

Angela Chang's ears were a little red. She tapped the back of Angela Chang's hand with her chopsticks but didn't reply.

Julie didn't mind. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then stood up naturally. She walked around half the table to Song Mo's side, raised her teacup, and said, "Brother Song Mo, hello. I'm Angela's assistant, Julie. Please take care of me from now on."

Song Mo glanced at her, smiled, raised his teacup and clinked it against hers: "Hello, thank you for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all." Julie stood next to him for a while, but seeing that Song Mo didn't seem inclined to chat much, she felt embarrassed to stand there any longer and returned to Angela Chang's side with a smile.
