Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Chapter 84 "It's quite lucky to be your friend."

"You're leaving?!"

Cai Fu finally came to his senses and, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, slowly frowned.

The biggest difference between Jiangxi Heng and the other contestants is that he has actually worked in the entertainment industry for ten years, and he exudes a composure that is different from that of the younger contestants.

Logically, he should be more knowledgeable about the intricacies of the entertainment industry, but this time, Jiangxi Heng really left Cai Fu dumbfounded.

He asked, "Why did you withdraw from the competition?"

Jiangxi Heng calmly stated, "I'm an actor, I need to go and film."

Cai Fu bluntly exposed, "As far as I know, starting from the age of 13, you filmed four dramas over five consecutive years, and the ratings dropped from 6 points to 3 points. Before you even entered the camp, no one was offering you any acting roles."

Jiangxi Heng glanced helplessly at Cai Fu: "That's how it is."

Cai Fusong relaxed his brow and advised, "So you still want to continue down this path that's not right for you? Xiaoheng, the higher-ups have already recognized your value. As long as you perform normally from now on and avoid your weaknesses in the finals, you'll have a place in the debut lineup!"

Jiangxi Heng paused for a moment, then tapped his knee rhythmically with his fingers as he listed the names: "Zhou Lehui from Huancai should be the lead singer, and Qin Yushan from Lingxi, you won't let him go, so the dual lead singer slots are already filled."

Cai Fu was taken aback but did not react, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Jiangxi Heng continued, "Yinlang Media has one spot, and they're choosing one from Zhao Zeyang, Kong Sui, and Xu Yanqing. I guess Yinlang is pushing Zhao Zeyang, while the producer probably favors Kong Sui, since he's the only rapper?"

Cai Fu's face instantly turned a mix of colors: "How did you know?"

Jiangxi Heng twitched the corner of his mouth, without mentioning that he had seen Zhao Zeyang and Kong Sui's rankings in advance.

He added, "The team needs a pillar, an ACE, and you chose Gu Zhoubai; you gave up Yang Tianhang and pushed me up because you wanted to have a creator in the team, so that the team could be labeled as a 'creative team' and could also produce and sell their own content."

Cai Fu saw that Jiangxi Heng was in the camp, yet he could guess the decisions made by his superiors so accurately. His eyes narrowed, and he seemed to realize something.

"Did you bring something with you?"

Jiangxi Heng blinked innocently and didn't say anything.

Cai Fu snorted: "You're smart to have found me!" Otherwise, the news could have spread at any time, and Jiangxi Heng's reputation would have been tarnished.

Jiangxi Heng then smiled and said, "I like dealing with people like Director Cai; they're sincere and genuine."

Cai Fu rolled his eyes: "Then you can stay and continue dealing with me, honestly debut as an idol, use your face and your creative value to attract a wave of fans, and after you become famous, you can switch careers to become an actor, and fans will still support you..."

Jiangxi Heng's smile faded, and he slowly shook his head: "Thank you for considering my situation, but my goal is to become the best actor in the world, to work with the best film and television works, and to present them to the audience."

Cai Fu's expression was strange. He thought to himself, "You've been through five years of setbacks, and you're still so arrogant? The world's best actors have all come out? The best films and television shows, how could you possibly get access to them?"

But seeing the smile in Jiangxi Heng's eyes, Cai Fu was speechless.

Before the camp started, when interviewing these contestants, the words Cai Fu heard most often were "I love the stage" and "I love music".

In reality, most of these statements were made by these people to gain points, and Cai Fu didn't remember a single one of them despite hearing so many.

I was particularly impressed by the different opinions of a few of them.

Ling Wushuang's "accompanying a friend", Xie Xingyan's "wanting to make money".

One was all smiles, seemingly without desires; the other was expressionless, his face etched with ambition.

The word "dream" carries too little weight in the entertainment industry; it has become an ordinary word that everyone can mention.

But now, Cai Fu felt the weight of this word in Jiangxi Heng's gaze.

"Ah, you really are..." Cai Fu touched his neck, noticing a layer of sweat on it despite the winter weather. He turned the air conditioning down a bit before saying, "If you've really thought it through, then I'll talk to Director Song and the producer?"

Jiangxi Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I've thought it over. But Director Cai, could I meet with the producer?"

Cai Fu raised an eyebrow, almost misinterpreting the situation: "Our producer may be young, but she's still more than ten years older than you, and she's always only interested in work, not men..."

Jiangxi Heng was taken aback, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but he was relieved.

The boy band that debuted from "Cosmic Star-Making Camp" will be under the management of this producer. It's always better to prioritize profit than lust.

"Here's the thing, my good friend wrote five songs before I joined the camp. I've written lyrics for two of them, and for the remaining three, I'd like to make a deal with this producer."

Cai Fu's expression turned serious.

An immediate meeting was arranged between Jiangxi Heng and Song Zhiyue. After a two-hour conversation, Jiangxi Heng left the office with the contract in his hands.

Song Zhiyue stopped him and sat motionless in her chair: "Mr. Jiang, there's something I don't quite understand."

Jiangxi Heng stopped and turned to look at her: "You think I'm interfering with your program?"

"No, no, no," Song Zhiyue waved her hand and said, "Judging from the voting results, your proposal only brought everything back on track. I'm just a little curious. Of the three songs you promised, one was for Xie Xingyan and another for Gu Zhoubai, but you allowed Xie Xingyan to perform this song during the camp, while Gu Zhoubai's song was only allowed to be performed after the group was formed."

Jiangxi Heng stroked the contract in his hand and replied, "I tricked Gu Zhoubai before, this song is compensation; as for Ayan, I remember his company has never bought song copyrights for him, right?"

Song Zhiyue nodded. The stingiest small company in the Chinese entertainment industry was none other than Suoran Entertainment, where Xie Xingyan worked.

Jiangxi Heng laughed and said, "In the finals, everyone has a new song, and my friends should too."

Of course, there was also a selfish reason: he didn't allow Gu Zhoubai to perform the songs he provided in the camp, thus avoiding the awkward situation of the two songs competing against each other.

Song Zhiyue looked at Jiangxi Heng and clapped her hands: "It's very lucky to be your friend."

Upon hearing this, Jiangxi Heng bowed slightly and said, "Then your platform will be very fortunate. I hope to see you again in three months."

Three months later, he will be looking for a broadcasting platform for his first drama.

Tomato Video is the top choice.

This was also written into the contract. Although Song Zhiyue, like Cai Fu, did not believe that an actor who was once called a useless child star could have such a rapid improvement in acting skills, or that a company that had already gone bankrupt could obtain such good resources.

But shrewd people in the Chinese entertainment industry don't make definitive statements; leaving themselves a way out is the right choice.

Song Zhiyue nodded: "I'll have Cai Fu take you to settle your payment."

This payment wasn't for the three unreleased new songs, but rather for Song Zhiyue's purchase of "Tomorrow's Coordinates" as one of the debut songs for her new boy group.

[500000 yuan received in bank account]

One second his pockets were emptier than his face, the next he'd be rolling in 50.

Jiangxi Heng asked the system to hold back the money so it wouldn't be automatically repaid to the bank. He still needed the money to prepare for the film crew's setup after leaving the camp.
