Freelance Artist Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Who made me the Nightless Marquis!

 The next day, the second day of the "Lishan Trip" holiday.

Not long after Lin Zhibai got up, the program team sent several staff members to carry cameras and shoot fiercely at him.

 This is what the program team agreed on in advance.

  Unless there are special circumstances, the live broadcast should not be stopped.

 Lin Zhibai doesn't care, the main thing is that there is basically nothing that cannot be photographed of him, and today is just a regular work schedule—

Go to the company's recording studio to record songs.

Although Qi Jianjia expressed his willingness to help, he didn't know how long it would take for Qin Zhou's work to be approved, so Lin Zhibai's original song release plan had to continue.

 Morning, half past eight.

 On the way to the company by car.

Lin Zhibai took a look at the popularity of his live broadcast room, which was currently 30.24 million.

At this point, all the guests of "Lishan Xing" should be on air, can your popularity reach 30 million?

　　It shows that yesterday's live broadcast song writing operation really attracted a lot of fans, just like doing this in Qinzhou Chuci before, it also had outstanding results.

　　【The richest man's live broadcast room is more popular than yesterday! 】

　　【Yesterday the highest number seemed to be 30 million? 】

　　【It's different, today it was 30 million not long after it started broadcasting!】

  【This is the popularity standard of the Four Heavenly Kings! 】

　　【Yesterday the richest man was only as good as Gu Xing! 】

　　【Today's richest man's data has reached the level of Ye Junji! 】

　　【Among the four heavenly kings, only Ye Zhen and Qi Tianwen are now higher than the richest man? 】

at the same time.

Lin Zhibai's live broadcast room reached the 30 million mark, and Gu Xing also discovered it.

　　Although Gu Xing is the least popular among the four heavenly kings, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse after all.

Yesterday, Gu Xing was surprised to find that the popularity of Lin Zhibai's live broadcast room was almost the same as his own. But he didn't expect that the popularity of Lin Zhibai's live broadcast room would be far ahead of his own today! ?

 It shouldn't be!

This guy is just a second-tier star in Qizhou. Could it be that he is a monk from outside who likes to chant sutras?

 Looking at Zhou Hanjin and other guests from Qizhou, the level of attention is obviously much lower than that of Lin Zhibai!

 It's so unscientific!

Gu Xing has never seen a star from another continent whose popularity has grown so exaggeratedly after coming to Qizhou!

 According to Lin Zhibai's development speed.

Gu Xing suspects that the other party will challenge Qizhou's status as a first-line superstar in the future!

 And the other side.

What Gu Xing discovered was actually discovered by Ye Junji earlier.

Even about Lin Zhibai writing songs in the live broadcast room yesterday, Ye Junji also learned about the situation through his agent after the live broadcast.

to be honest.

Lin Zhibai was able to develop even after arriving in Qizhou. This was not surprising to Ye Junji. No one knew the opponent's strength better than himself.

 But Lin Zhibai could rise so quickly, even Ye Junji could not imagine it.

How long has it been since then that Lin Zhibai's popularity in the live broadcast room has already reached the same level as his own?

I am not a king with average traffic like Gu Xing. Why did Lin Zhibai catch up so quickly?

Although the popularity of the live broadcast room doesn't mean anything, a large part of the audience may not be Lin Zhibai's fans. The possibility of creating such a momentum already shows the potential of the other party.

Ye Junji sighed in his heart. In fact, he no longer resented Lin Zhibai so much.

On the contrary, his good friend Eiichiro couldn't bear the pain of being forced to leave Qinzhou and insisted on not dealing with Lin Zhibai.

  Put yourself in a dilemma now.

 After all, the original source of the conflict between Eiichiro and Lin Zhibai was himself. Ye Junji felt complicated for a while.

Lin Zhibai spoke to the audience after arriving at the company: "Next we will record three songs, starting with the first song "The Crime of Not Being Romantic"."

 Finished.

Lin Zhibai entered the recording studio.

 The recording of the three songs took a whole morning.

After all the songs were recorded, Lin Zhibai explained the follow-up work to the company employees, and then said to the audience: "The next step is mastering and other work, which will be handled by a dedicated person, so I will not continue to follow up. If nothing else goes wrong, these three songs will be released at 8 o'clock tonight. I hope everyone can support me."

  【Must support! 】

　　【Congratulations to the richest man for his new song to be a hit! 】

　　【These three songs are sure to be popular! 】

 The entire screen was full of messages of blessing and support.

Because these three songs were composed by Lin Zhibai in variety shows, the audience who often watch him have heard them. Most people in Qizhou don't know the existence of these three songs at all, so who knows how they performed after they were released online? Not sure either.

 The response from the live broadcast room has been good.

 There are many fans in the live broadcast room.

There were many top-notch songs in the previous life that fans thought were great, but passers-by couldn't listen to them at all. Whose problem is it?

Lin Zhibai doesn't want to be trapped in an information cocoon. Whether the song will be successful or not depends on the market's response.

Because fans must have filters when listening to their own singing. Fortunately, these songs have been very popular in previous lives and have been verified by the market, so Lin Zhibai is not particularly worried. Even if they don't become popular, at least they won't become popular.

 At this time.

 Wu Xuan approached Lin Zhibai and said, "Representative, our company's big online movie, "I'm Still Here Waiting for You" needs additional investment..."

The only independent film and television project produced by Shinhwa Kunpeng Entertainment is "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official".

 Just don't forget that this company was acquired after all. Lin Zhibai didn't know how the negotiations were carried out. Anyway, some of the projects that were being promoted before were taken over by Shinhwa Kunpeng.

 The "I'm Still Waiting for You" mentioned by Wu Xuan is one of the projects of this company's predecessor.

Lin Zhibai certainly knew that there was such a movie being produced under the company's name, but he didn't care. Anyway, the total investment was less than 10 million, and he couldn't lose much.

 Can additional investment be made in this project?

Lin Zhibai frowned and said, "Is this a project that the company had completed in the middle of before? There was an error in the budget?"

 To develop the market, we need to make money from the Qizhou market.

 And if he becomes popular, the company's revenue will definitely not be bad, so he has no interest in projects other than "Nine Levels of Sesame Official".

"no."

 Wu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "The situation is quite complicated. I'll send you a report."

Lin Zhibai understood. It probably meant that he couldn't say it in front of the audience in the live broadcast room, so he nodded and said:

“The movie script will also be released together.”

Lin Zhibai is not someone who is easily fooled. If he can manage Shinhwa Publishing House in an orderly manner, he can also manage this entertainment company well.

Those who want to deceive themselves will definitely pay the price.

 “Then I'll send it to your email.”

 Wu Xuan said: “This is a youth film.”

Lin Zhibai was noncommittal and went to the office without saying a word. This attitude made Wu Xuan very nervous, and the several staff members behind her were also silent.

　　【This **** sense of oppression! 】

  【So this is the overbearing president in reality? 】

　　【The richest man who works hard is a bit handsome! 】

  【Our leader is also very domineering, but unfortunately he does not have the appearance of the richest man. 】

 Enter the office.

Lin Zhibai opened his mailbox and read the script of the movie "I'm Still Here Waiting for You".

 The plot is very simple, just an ordinary youth film.

The male protagonist and the female protagonist met and fell in love in college. However, after graduating from college, the male protagonist left the female protagonist for ten years due to some reasons...

 In the past ten years, it was the second male lead who had silently accompanied the female protagonist and made constant contributions, which finally moved her.

 The two are in love.

What I didn't expect was:

The male protagonist, who had disappeared for several years, actually came back after the female protagonist and the second male lead confirmed their relationship.

 The final plot is that the male protagonist explains his reasons for leaving and reconciles with the female protagonist.

The second male lead, who had just taken over but had never even kissed her on the lips, smiled and blessed the female lead. Using a common argument in idol dramas:

 Love someone as long as she is happy.

Of course these are just plot outlines, but they still made Lin Zhibai feel a strong sense of discomfort, as if "dead memories are attacking me."

 After all, youth movies like the past life are too common.

Not even talking about the past life, this world also has a large number of homogeneous youth movies. Otherwise Lin Zhibai would not have seen such a script, but he could not imagine this plot with no novelty. How can it attract the audience?

until…

Lin Zhibai saw a small note written by Wu Xuan at the back of the script:

"The lead male actor is Yang Yi. He was still a small-time star when he took on this film. Unexpectedly, not long after joining the cast, Yang Yi's other youth film as the male lead became a big hit. In addition, the company behind it Promoter, now the celebrity status has rushed to the third tier, or even to the second tier, and then the director is thinking about having more budget to shoot the scene better. In addition, on behalf of you after lunch, if you can go to visit the class to watch "I'm Still Waiting" It would be great to shoot "伱", because the film will probably be finished tomorrow..."

Lin Zhibai suddenly understood.

 No wonder the crew needs to invest more.

Wu Xuan really doesn't need to talk about this kind of industry stuff in the live broadcast room.

Fine.

This reason convinced Lin Zhibai.

Lin Zhibai knew that no matter what the quality of the film was, since the male protagonist became popular, his fans would know the truth.

 In this case, it would not be a bad thing for Shinhwa Kunpeng to invest more money to promote the film more.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai decided to approve the project.

Of course the photography teacher did not take pictures of Lin Zhibai's computer screen.

Without Lin Zhibai's permission, the photographer would only take pictures of Lin Zhibai doing his work from the back of the computer.

 As for Wu Xuan's proposal to let herself go to visit the class...

Lin Zhibai understood that Wu Xuan wanted to use her popularity in the live broadcast room to promote the online movie "I'm Still Waiting for You".

Fine.

 As the nominal representative and de facto boss of this company, I should cooperate.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai called Wu Xuan over.

"I have approved the additional investment of three million for the drama "I'm Still Here Waiting for You". In addition, we will visit the crew of "I'm Still Here Waiting for You"."

"good!"

Wu Xuan was overjoyed, and her anxious heart was finally relieved.

The audience was certainly not stupid, and they all knew Lin Zhibai's purpose for doing this, but they didn't mind and started making fun of him.

　　【What a tough propaganda! 】

　　【Haha, you deliberately said the name of the movie twice, just in case we couldn't remember it, right? 】

　　【The richest man is snagging the show crew again! 】

　　【Making a variety show and promoting my own company's movies, there's nothing wrong with that! 】

　　【It's a big online movie, right? 】

【right. 】

　　【Aren't most online movies bad? 】

　　Ninety percent of them are bad movies, but there are some high-quality ones. 】

【In recent years, online movies are not as good as before, and many big-name directors are beginning to be willing to put down their modesty and participate. 】

 The company has prepared the car.

Lin Zhibai sat in the back row and headed to the set.

Wu Xuan is still driving. She has appeared frequently with Lin Zhibai in the past two days. Now that she is debuting directly, she will probably gain some popularity. After all, the secretary herself is very beautiful.

“Representative, we are here.” About half an hour later, Wu Xuan arrived at the set with Lin Zhibai.

At this time, the crew was filming a scene. Lin Zhibai asked Wu Xuan to keep a low profile and stood aside to watch.

Lin Zhibai quickly found the corresponding scene in the script for this scene.

Probably the male protagonist came back after being away for half his life. After a lot of quarreling with the female protagonist, he decided to ask the male protagonist and the female protagonist, who had already started to fall in love, to have dinner with each other, intending to have a formal showdown and make a final push for love.

The second male smiled generously and said:

"You old friends are catching up, so I won't go. I have something to do at the company tonight."

"Then...then I won't go either..."

At this time, the heroine is still hesitating. After all, she is already the girlfriend of the second male protagonist, but she still has no lingering feelings for the male protagonist.

A trace of warmth flashed across the second male's face.

 The heroine's rejection seemed to warm him.

The male protagonist nodded bitterly and drove away.

At this moment, the second male lead saw the female lead with tears on her face, staring at the rear of the male lead's car in a daze, and suddenly made a decision, his eyes instantly became firm:

"boarding."

"What?"

 “If you like it, go for it.”

After the second man finished speaking, he took the female protagonist directly and caught up with the male protagonist's car.

It turns out that the second male lead saw that the female protagonist still had lingering feelings for the male protagonist, so he definitely asked them to have a dinner date at night, as if he wanted to make a losing bet.

　　　hiss.

Lin Zhibai's teeth ached from looking at him. The brain circuit of this second male lead is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Is there such a man in reality?

It seems that many idol dramas or youth dramas have this kind of character as the second male lead. He will do everything for the female protagonist, even including sending the female protagonist into the arms of the male protagonist. The reason is always "she just wants to be happy." .

correct.

　　I think this plot and this scene could be paired with a very sad BGM.

Um?

Isn't this the area you are good at?

Lin Zhibai was thinking wildly. After filming this part, the director started to change scenes to shoot another part.

 The second part of filming happened just after the plot and emotion of the previous part. It was after the second male lead sent the female lead into the male lead's car.

his car was parked on the side of the road, and he was sitting on the ground alone.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 eaten.

 It started to rain.

Of course it was artificial rain created by the crew, but the second male lead acted very well, and his emotions were expressed very well. His expression was obviously very restrained, but he burst into tension with an indescribable emotion. It turned out that he was not as good as he appeared on the surface. It's generous, but when the heroine sheds tears when she looks at the rear of the hero's car, she has already lost. The melon that is forced is not sweet.

 Okay, although but...

Lin Zhibai can somewhat understand some of the brain circuits of the second male lead.

It's not that I approve of the character or even the values ​​​​of the second male lead, it's just that the actor who played the second male lead performed very well, and his emotional expressiveness was a bit infectious to Lin Zhibai, as if the instinctive empathy of human beings was touched.

"what is his name?"

Wu Xuan was stunned and said: "Pan Yu."

"I mean the actor." Lin Zhibai had a good memory. He had read the script before coming here, and of course he knew that the second male lead's character was called Pan Yu.

 “Qu Zhe.”

 Wu Xuan named the actor.

Lin Zhibai nodded and said, "Which company does Qu Zhe belong to?"

Wu Xuan said with a smile: "His contract is still with our company, but it will expire after filming this movie."

 “Renew the contract with him.”

Lin Zhibai feels that Qu Zhe has great potential. He is already quite good at acting at such a young age. Although he is not particularly handsome, at least not as good as the male lead Yang Yi.

 Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned the second male role.

And he is also such a super licking male lead.

"OK."

 Wu Xuan nodded.

"I will review the terms of the renewal contract when the time comes." Lin Zhibai felt that Qu Zhe could be trained by himself in the future, so the terms of the renewal contract would be slightly more generous.

Of course, the liquidated damages will be very scary.

Because Lin Zhibai knows very well how strong his ability to promote people is. If the other party is promoted by him, the company must have sufficient deterrence and binding force to ensure that the artist will not become too stiff and want to fly freely.

 After all, Lin Zhibai did not open a charity.

"clear."

Wu Xuan nodded again, feeling a little surprised. The representative seemed to be quite optimistic about Qu Zhe.

After the filming of this scene, Yang Yi, who played the male lead, entered his nanny car with a somewhat unhappy expression.

“Director, thank you for your hard work.”

 Wu Xuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Our representative Lin is here to visit the class."

 “Representative Lin?”

The director was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Lin Zhibai, and the entire crew became lively in an instant.

 “Welcome Representative Lin!”

Lin Zhibai is, after all, the representative of the Shinhwa Kunpeng Company.

 This drama was invested and filmed by Shinhwa Kunpeng Company.

The actor Qu Zhe, who played the second male lead in the play, Pan Yu, also stepped forward very flexibly, took the initiative to reach out to Lin Zhibai, bent down slightly and said:

 “Hello boss, I'm Qu Zhe!”

 Everyone else calls him the representative, but this guy calls him the boss. Lin Zhibai laughs a little, reaches out his hand and shakes the other person's hand.

"Hello."

After speaking, Lin Zhibai praised: "Your acting skills are very good. Our company needs talents like you."

 “Thank you boss for your appreciation!”

Lin Zhibai discovered that Qu Zhe, who played the second male lead in this drama, had more or less his true character.

Facing himself, his posture was very low, even a bit humble, but Lin Zhibai didn't dislike this kind of person.

　　Everyone has his own way of living. Just because you are noble, you cannot look down on those who are humble in front of the leader. As long as the other person does not hurt others, he can just lick him.

Perhaps someone will lick it till the end to get everything?

After all, this guy is quite scheming. He deliberately calls himself boss just to appear different from others, so that he can be remembered.

 “Boss, are you live broadcasting?”

I thought that was enough, but I never thought about Qu Zhe. He didn't want to end the communication, so he talked to Lin Zhibai enthusiastically.

"yes."

“He's the owner of “Travel to Lishan Mountain”. My favorite show to watch is “Travel to Lishan Mountain”…”

 “Then say hello to the audience.”

Lin Zhibai decided to give Qu Zhe more shots.

 But the next moment, Lin Zhibai couldn't help laughing.

After Qu Zhe said hello, he faced the photographer's lens directly, flipped two backflips, and then did a few very interesting dance moves that seemed to be leaning against an iron mountain, and finally said to He looked at the camera and bowed: "Hello everyone, I am Qu Zhe, who has been in the industry for two and a half years. I am currently a contract artist with Shinhwa Kunpeng Company. The richest man is my boss!"

 Good guy.

 You are quite formal.

 Being able to call out "The Richest Man" means that the other person has at least watched "Travel to the Lishan Mountain", otherwise he would not know Lin Zhibai's nickname in the show.

  【What a magical dance! 】

　　【Haha, this guy is quite funny. 】

　　【Are you an artist from the Richest Company? 】

　　【Are the artists under the richest man so down-to-earth? 】

　　【A very interesting man. 】

  【Looks a bit handsome. 】

Qu Zhe can enter the entertainment industry and play the second male lead, so his appearance is definitely no problem, but he can only be regarded as a handsome boy.

 Perhaps equivalent to the level of Bancao or something like that?

  In any case, the appearance is obviously far behind Lin Zhibai.

However, there is one thing about Qu Zhe that Lin Zhibai does not have, and that is a very special affinity, which gives people the impression that he is one of his more handsome friends, without any sense of distance.

 In fact, this is also the reason why Lin Zhibai wants to renew his contract with Qu Zhe.

 Handsome guys in the entertainment industry can be packaged, and many top celebrities may not necessarily be the most handsome.

 But this kind of affinity, or innate temperament, cannot be packaged by capital.

 That's why some stars are so good that they can't even find any substitutes, just like the beauties from the golden generation of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in previous lives.

the other side.

 In the nanny's car.

Yang Yi is taking a rest with his eyes squinted.

The agent shouted: "Brother Yang, please come out, the representative of Shinhwa Kunpeng is here."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　int

Yang Yi frowned. He was almost depressed. His drama became a hit just after signing the contract.

 This mythical Kunpeng Company has taken a huge advantage!

So it was very difficult for Yang Yi to shoot this movie, so he just wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

 With his current worth, there are plenty of scripts with higher pay and better scripts out there waiting for him.

As for the leader of this mythical Kunpeng coming to visit the class?

Yang Yi was not interested in welcoming him.

The agent said helplessly: "The representative of Shinhwa Kunpeng is also an artist, Lin Zhibai from "Travel to Lishan Mountain". He is currently broadcasting live. There is no harm in you going out and showing your face. Just say a few polite words to him."

 “Traveling to Lishan? Lin Zhibai?”

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. He still knew Lin Zhibai, who was much more popular than him.

 In the program "Travel to Lishan Mountain", even the Four Heavenly Kings were bullied by him!

Thinking of this.

Yang Yi quickly got out of the car and was ready to say hello.

However, Lin Zhibai had already finished his visit and left by car.

Wu Xuan, who was driving the car, asked for a topic: "What does the boss think of this drama?"

"generally."

Lin Zhibai said casually.

Wu Xuan coughed, does that mean he forgot that this was a live broadcast?

 How can anyone talk about his company's investment in a live broadcast room?

Lin Zhibai commented more and more casually: "When I say average, I mean the script, but Qu Zhe's performance was pretty good. For his performance just now, I had to write a song for his character. In addition, I wasn't very happy with the way the ending of the script was handled.”

 You are really complaining!

 Wu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Then I asked the screenwriter teacher to change the ending..."

"No."

Lin Zhibai said: "Let me write the ending. I happen to have a pretty interesting idea."

 The end of the movie.

 The second male lead, played by Qu Zhe, sent the heroine into the hero's car for the last time one night.

　　The hero takes the heroine and leaves the city.

 The second man smiled and blessed them, but broke down in tears after the car left.

Lin Zhibai always feels that the emotional stimulation is not strong enough, but since the script has almost been shot, there is not much he can adjust, so he might as well leave some special impression on the audience at the end -

　Who made me a nightless marquis?
