Chen Ming and Xu Chujing were not familiar with each other.
And judging from the house Xu Chujing rents out, she doesn't look like a rich person.
Chen Ming did not refuse immediately, but asked curiously: "Why did you want to come to me?"
Hearing the words,
Xu Chujing calmed down her mood.
"I heard your song online."
Chen Ming was not surprised at all.
If someone is willing to look it up deliberately, it is easy to find Chen Ming's experience and works.
But Chen Ming didn't want to ask this.
then,
Chen Ming changed the question: "Why do you want me to write a song for you?"
In fact,
Chen Ming's plan to write songs for Xingyu Entertainment artists has not spread.
This matter is still confidential!
Taking ten thousand steps back,
Xu Chujing is no longer an artist of Xingyu Entertainment, and songwriting has nothing to do with her at all.
Xu Chujing bit her red lips: "I can buy it with money."
"It's not about money."
"I am now an artist of Xingyu Entertainment. The ownership of my songs belongs to me, but I cannot leak them to anyone outside the company without permission."
Chen Ming's impression of Xu Chujing can only be described as either good or bad.
If Xu Chujing is still an artist of Xingyu Entertainment, then Chen Ming can seriously consider writing songs for her.
but now,
no!
Xu Chujing has been terminated.
After hearing Chen Ming's words, Xu Chujing's eyes turned red instantly, and the mist in her eyes seemed to condense into tears and drip down in the next second.
She didn't know what she had done wrong.
She just wants to sing!
Why is everyone against her?
see the situation,
Chen Ming sighed.
"You go back and plead with Director Zheng, and at the same time clear up your relationship with Fang Kai. Maybe there is room for redemption in this matter."
Zheng Rong is not a particularly ruthless person.
At least in Chen Ming's opinion, there is still a chance in this matter.
The reason why Zheng Rong was so angry that day was actually mostly because of Fang Kai.
He doesn't have much hostility towards Xu Chujing himself.
"If I become an artist of Xingyu Entertainment again, will you help me write songs?"
Xu Chujing asked anxiously.
Chen Ming replied casually: "I can give you a chance to audition."
Hearing the words,
Xu Chujing bowed deeply to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming looked away in a very gentlemanly manner.
Subsequently,
Xu Chujing left happily.
Do not know why,
Chen Ming is quite optimistic about Xu Chujing!
Because this girl is full of what he used to be like, constantly fighting for her dreams, and Chen Ming can see that she really loves singing.
If you give such a person a chance, you may gain unexpected rewards.
Chen Ming closed the courtyard door, tidied up, and prepared to go out to attend class!
During this time,
Chen Ming's frequency of taking classes has decreased a lot.
the most important reason,
Or because the short film of "The Tuner" is about to start filming.
Chen Ming was also very concerned about this matter.
free time,
In addition to practicing singing, Chen Ming and Su Rou also do one more thing, which is to train each other's acting skills.
Time flies in the blink of an eye, and another week has passed.
This week, Xu Chujing did not come to see Chen Ming again.
Chen Ming also gradually forgot about this matter.
"The Tuner" will officially start filming in one week!
On Saturday,
Chen Ming came to Xu Manke's studio.
Xu Manke was packing his luggage. When he saw Chen Ming arriving, he put down his suitcase and said with a smile, "I just wanted to inform you, but you came unexpectedly."
Chen Ming asked in confusion: "Sister Manke, where are you going?"
"The location where we officially started shooting is not in Yuncheng, but in a studio near Kyoto. There are special filming materials there, so we don't need to arrange them."
"And we are still short of a group of extras. It's easy to find them over there."
Chen Ming thought it would be filmed here.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not realistic.
There are bar scenes, street corridor scenes, and abandoned hospital scenes in "The Tuner".
so many scenes,
Naturally, it is impossible to complete the shooting in a small studio.
"How many days will it take?"
Generally speaking,
The shooting time of the micro-film will not be long, no more than a month at most.
But even a month, Chen Ming felt it was too long.
Xu Man laughed and said: "One week."
The daily rent of movie theaters near Kyoto is very expensive. According to Xu Manke's budget, it can only support one week's rent.
This also includes the food and lodging of the leading actors and the daily wages of ordinary extras.
Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
A week is not a long time!
"You two should also go back and pack your luggage. I will inform you of the meeting point in a week, and then we will set off collectively to the movie theater near Kyoto."
Chen Ming nodded.
He originally wanted to come over and ask Xu Manke to train on the changes in micro-expressions, but seeing that Xu Manke was so busy, he temporarily gave up the idea.
After leaving,
Chen Ming called Su Rou and briefly talked about going to Kyoto Cinema.
did not expect,
Su Rou looked very excited.
After hanging up the phone,
Chen Ming went straight home.
During this period, Mu Qingyun recruited a new resident singer in the bar, a male resident singer who looked much older than Chen Ming and Su Rou.
Chen Ming had a chat with the new resident singer and thought he was a good person.
no matter when,
That person had a kind smile and was very approachable.
I heard from Mu Qingyun that this man had been divorced once, and his ex-wife ran away with someone else. He had no children. He used to be a music teacher, but he lost his job because his ex-wife had trouble at work.
In this regard,
Chen Ming was somewhat sympathetic.
With a new resident singer,
Mu Qingyun does not require Chen Ming and Su Rou to come to sing every day, as long as they come occasionally when they are free.
Many old customers come here for Chen Ming!
Chen Ming didn't come to the bar, so some customers were lost.
After a period of precipitation,
The number of customers in the bar slowly stabilized again.
Although the daily turnover is not as good as when Chen Ming was there, it is still profitable.
Regarding the filming of the micro-movie, Chen Ming also mentioned it to Mu Qingyun and told her that he might not be able to come to the bar for a week.
Mu Qingyun didn't pay too much attention, and just asked Chen Ming to tell her when it was released and she would go to the cinema to increase the box office.
No more pressure from resident singing,
Chen Ming has more free time.
and,
Su Rou came to Chen Ming's house every day, just like going back to her own home.
Whether it is practicing singing or practicing Biao's acting skills, it is more convenient.
The days passed day by day.
The day before Chen Ming and Su Rou left for Kyoto Cinema, Xu Chujing came.
"What did Director Zheng say?"
Chen Ming welcomed Xu Chujing into the house politely and poured her a glass of hot water.
Xu Chujing's eyes were complicated and she spoke slowly: "Director Zheng did let me go, but my rank was lowered and I became a trainee."
Trainee.
The most indispensable thing for every entertainment company is trainees and ordinary artists.
The biggest difference between trainees and ordinary artists is that trainees need to pay practice fees to the company every month.
That is to say,
As a trainee, before you become famous, not only do you have no money to make, but you also have to give money to the company.
In contrast,
Generally, artists are happier.
Hearing the words,
Chen Ming understood Zheng Rong's thoughts.
After all,
Xu Chujing does have to bear part of the responsibility for Fang Kai being able to enter the company.
Xu Chujing asked in a low voice with some fear: "I'm just a trainee, will you still help me write songs?"
Su Rou heard the word "writing songs" and looked over.
Chen Ming smiled and said: "I told you, I can give you a chance to audition."
"But you have to pay for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chujing looked even more nervous.
"If it's too expensive, can I pay in installments..."
Chen Ming was stunned.
Even Su Rou couldn't help laughing.
secretly,
Su Rou pulled Chen Ming's sleeve and gave him a look.
Chen Ming understood instantly and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I can rent this house because I actually took advantage of you."
"I can pay in installments. If the song is finally released, I will take a 1% download fee from a single download. Can you accept it?"
Downloading a song costs one dollar.
And one percent is one penny!
This is actually equivalent to no strings attached.
Hearing the words,
Xu Chujing stood up excitedly and kept bowing to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was a little uncomfortable and said hurriedly: "Don't be too happy too early. If you fail the audition, I won't be able to write a song for you."
After calming down,
Xu Chujing asked eagerly: "Can I audition tomorrow?"
.......
no.
Chen Ming shook his head: "I'm going on a long trip and will be back in about a week. You can wait for me at the company in a week."
A week is so long!
Xu Chujing wanted to audition immediately, and then Chen Ming started writing songs for her.
But at present,
I can only temporarily suppress my excitement.
After sending Xu Chujing away,
Chen Ming looked at Su Rou and said with a smile: "Miss Su, it's getting late, you should go home."
"How can you be a host chasing away guests~"
"My feet are too tired and I can't move."
After saying that,
Su Rou pretended to be exhausted and lay motionless on the sofa.
see the situation,
Chen Ming sat on the floor naturally and massaged Su Rou's calves.
"Yes, be stronger."
Su Rou closed her eyes and ordered.
Ten minutes later,
Chen Ming scratched the soles of Su Rou's feet: "If you don't get up again, I will call Mr. Su."
for a moment,
Su Rou couldn't help but smile and sat up.
"I know~"
Although Su Chuanxiong knew about the ambiguous relationship between Chen Ming and Su Rou, he would never allow Su Rou to stay out overnight. Even this filming trip required Su Chuanxiong's consent.
Su Chuanxiong only has one granddaughter, Su Rou, so he must protect her better!
Chen Ming put on Su Rou's shoes and said softly: "Go back and pack your things quickly. I will pick you up at your home tomorrow."
"Okay~"
"Compare your heart~"
Before leaving,
Su Rou also made a playful gesture of love, which made Chen Ming laugh out loud.
A one-week shooting trip is neither long nor short.
Chen Ming only brought a few changes of clothes.
On the evening of the second day,
Chen Ming took a taxi and went to Lishui Community to pick up Su Rou.
All the main actors gathered at Yuncheng Airport!
"Is everyone here?"
Xu Manke is wearing a pair of fashionable sunglasses, and her pretty cheeks are hidden under a wide scarf. If you don't look carefully, you won't recognize her as Xu Manke at all.
After counting the number of people,
Xu Man can distribute their respective tickets to everyone.
"When we go to Kyoto Studios this time, we only have one week to shoot, so everyone's rest time will be very short."
"When the filming is completed, I will reward everyone!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Having said this,
Xu Manke led a group of people into Yuncheng Airport.
Half an hour later,
A bright white plane flew across the sky, then gradually disappeared into the sky above Yuncheng.
Chen Ming looked at the scenery outside the plane window and was quite excited.
On the contrary, Su Rou,
Not long after the plane took off, he leaned on Chen Ming's shoulder and fell asleep.
Chen Ming covered Su Rou with his coat and concentrated on reading the script in his hand.
This script,
He is extremely familiar!
But I don’t know why,
As soon as he was free, he wanted to take it out and take a look at it more.
The good or bad filming of "The Tuner" will come to an end at Kyoto Studios.
And this period,
Chen Ming wanted to make the painting as perfect as possible.
