Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

When Wu Wei arrived at the filming location of Group A, he indeed found them having a late-night snack.

After scanning the area, I quickly spotted Jackie Chan in the main actors' rest area.

He was still wearing that tattered costume, with makeup on his face, sitting on a folding chair, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, eating with relish.

Li Lianjie and Li Bingbing were sitting next to them, eating and chatting casually.

Wu Wei took a deep breath and strode over.

"Hello, teachers. Hello, Jackie Chan."

He walked up to them and greeted them politely.

Jackie Chan looked up at him, somewhat puzzled. "Is there something you need?"

"I'm Wu Wei, a stuntman from Group B."

Wu Wei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I have written two songs for you, and I would like you to take a look at them."

"Oh? You wrote a song for me?"

Jackie Chan raised an eyebrow, immediately showing interest.

He put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked, "What song?"

Wu Wei unfolded the two folded papers in his hand and handed them over: "One is called 'The Path of Justice,' and the other is called 'The Nation.' Please take a look."

Jackie Chan took the paper and glanced at it.

The sheet music and lyrics were written on it, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful.

Li Lianjie and Li Bingbing, who were standing nearby, also curiously came over.

It's quite a novel thing for a stuntman to come and sing a song for Jackie Chan.

They all wanted to see what the song was like.

After glancing at the song title, Jackie Chan began to read the lyrics.

"Covered in wounds, I braved the wind and rain alone, oblivious to the recklessness of youth as time flowed by..."

Jackie Chan's gaze lingered on the words "covered in injuries" for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly.

He didn't say anything and continued reading.

"The light of righteousness shines upon the earth, illuminating every dark place..."

Li Lianjie was the first to finish reading it, and nodded thoughtfully: "These lyrics are quite powerful."

Li Bingbing chimed in, "Yes, it's very inspiring."

Jackie Chan didn't rush to comment. After silently reading the lyrics of the entire song, he opened the second sheet of paper.

The song title is "The Nation".

"A piece of jade represents China, a tile forms a home. Everyone says the country is vast, but in reality, it's just one family..."

Jackie Chan unconsciously read it aloud, and when he read "The family is the smallest country, and the country is made up of millions of families," his voice was noticeably raised by half an octave.

He read the entire lyrics in one go, then looked up at Wu Wei, his eyes full of surprise: "You wrote both of these songs?"

"right."

Wu Wei nodded, his expression unchanged.

"How come someone like you, a stuntman, can write songs?"

Jackie Chan looked him up and down, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I just really love music."

Wu Wei smiled and casually explained, "I used to watch your movies a lot when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to be in the same film crew this time, so I thought I'd write a couple of songs for you."

"So that's how it is! The lyrics are really well written!"

Jackie Chan nodded approvingly at him, then said, "Then sing these two songs for me."

"it is good."

Wu Wei was already prepared, so he cleared his throat and started singing.

"Covered in wounds, I braved the wind and rain alone..."

His singing skills have now surpassed the average level of singers. Although he is not top-notch, he is good enough to perform a song quite well.

Not to mention he also has a great voice that has been optimized by the system.

The melody of the first verse is deep and powerful, carrying a spirit of never giving up.

When he sang the chorus, his voice suddenly soared, displaying tremendous power.

"The light of the righteous path shines upon the earth, illuminating every dark place!"

Many staff members around were attracted by the singing and turned to look.

Jackie Chan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, his fingers tapped on his knees, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Li Lianjie leaned back in his chair, listening intently, his eyes unblinking.

Li Bingbing's mouth was slightly open, and she looked surprised.

After the song ended, there was a moment of silence around us.

"good!"

Jackie Chan was the first to applaud, his expression revealing his undisguised delight: "This song is great! The lyrics are beautiful, and the melody is wonderful! Especially the line 'covered in wounds,' it really touched my heart!"

He patted his arm as he spoke, his tone tinged with emotion: "After so many years of acting, there's not a single part of my body that's unscathed. You could say I'm 'covered in injuries,' wouldn't you say?"

Seeing Jackie Chan's excited expression, Wu Wei knew that he was truly moved.

I thought to myself that this should be a sure thing now.

"Sing that song 'The Nation' again," Jackie Chan urged hastily.

Wu Wei nodded, took a deep breath, and began singing the second song.

"A piece of jade speaks of China, a tile roof forms a home..."

The melody of this song is more soothing than "The Light of the Right Path," but the lyrics are more weighty.

"Every inch of the country's land, every footprint of the home, the country and the home are linked together, creating the miracle of the earth..."

As Wu Wei sang, his voice gradually softened towards the end, but his emotions became even more intense.

After the song ended, the venue became even quieter than before.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Lianjie slowly said, "This song... has a grand scope."

Li Bingbing went directly to Jackie Chan and said, "Brother, these two songs are better than the last, let's take them both."

Jackie Chan did not speak immediately.

He looked down at the two pieces of paper in his hand, reading them over and over again before finally looking up.

"Wu Wei, right? I really like these two songs, and I want to buy them both."

He looked at Wu Wei and said seriously, "Fifty thousand for one song, what do you think?"

fifty thousand!

This number stirred something within Wu Wei.

Although he wasn't in the music industry, he knew that as a newcomer, the market price for a song was at most ten thousand yuan.

Fifty thousand is already an astronomical price.

It's obvious that Jackie Chan is taking care of him.

However, Wu Wei shook his head.

"Brother, I'm not selling these two songs."

Jackie Chan was stunned for a moment.

Wu Wei continued, "I wrote these two songs especially for you. I don't want any money; I'll give them to you to sing, as long as you retain the copyright to my lyrics and music."

Jackie Chan stared at him blankly for a while before he reacted.

"You don't want money?"

"don't want."

Wu Wei smiled and said sincerely, "It's my honor that you can sing my songs, brother. Money isn't important."

Wu Wei knew very well that what's free is often the most expensive.

Fifty thousand yuan is nothing!

He's been reborn, does he really need this little bit of money?

Jackie Chan's personal connections and relationships are truly priceless!

Jackie Chan looked at the young man in front of him with even more admiration in his eyes.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could he not see through Wu Wei's little schemes?

However, he also admired his style of doing things and his talent.

"You're an interesting kid."

Jackie Chan patted him on the shoulder: "But I never take other people's things for free, especially good things."

He paused for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll take these two songs. I'll have my assistant give you a big red envelope later, I promise you won't lose out."

Having said that, Wu Wei could no longer refuse.

He nodded and smiled, "Then thank you, brother."

"What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you."

Jackie Chan carefully folded the two pieces of paper and handed them to his assistant, instructing him to keep them safe and to find someone to draft a contract for buying the songs the next day.

"Come and sign the contract tomorrow afternoon."

After instructing his assistant, Jackie Chan turned to Wu Wei and said, "Also, get the demos for these two songs ready for me as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll record it tomorrow."

After chatting with Jackie Chan for a few more minutes, Wu Wei took his leave.

After turning around and taking a few steps, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

He knew that from this moment on, he and Jackie Chan were now connected.

He used two songs to gain a powerful backer.

Moreover, one of these two songs is actually Jackie Chan's own song.

He simply wrote it down in advance and gave it to him.

This deal was incredibly profitable!

From now on, it won't be so easy for Liu Xiaoli to mess with him on set.

Wu Wei was in a great mood, humming a tune as he walked briskly towards his dormitory.
