The straight man in the entertainment circle

Early the next morning, Lin Li made an appointment with Chen Qingqing and went to the recording studio with Wang Tuo.

Chen Qingqing has no singing skills or any experience, but her only advantage is that she is always happy and never gets tired of singing it no matter how many times. Lin Li is quite satisfied with the recording of this song.

This song is originally a cheerful song, and the stage of the Spring Festival Gala requires this kind of cheerful song. Chen Qingqing's singing skills are not very good, but the cheerfulness in her voice when singing is very contagious.

Lin Li is very confident about whether this song can pass the review of the Spring Festival Gala program team.

The question now is what song I want to sing. According to the regulations of the Spring Festival Gala program team, I have to submit it for program review this week at the latest.

After thinking about it all night, Lin Li finally decided what song to sing.

For the Spring Festival Gala, the songs should be cheerful and positive. There are also sad songs, but the themes are very positive, such as songs praising soldiers and songs dedicated to parents.

There are some suitable songs in Lin Li's system, and one of them is very suitable. Even if it is not Lin Li's best song, it is definitely the most suitable song for the Spring Festival Gala.

Afterwards, Lin Li recorded a demo in the recording studio and sent it to the Spring Festival Gala program team for review.

It didn't take long for the review results to come out. Both Lin Li and Chen Qingqing's repertoire were selected, and they had to go to rehearsals twice.

As long as the on-site rehearsal is not a big problem, the basic program will be retained, it just depends on the final order of performance.

If the program is not very good, it may be played after zero o'clock.

As for the Spring Festival Gala around midnight, it can be said that all the famous songs and sketches in the Spring Festival Gala are not broadcast after midnight.

Lin Li is not worried about this. He and Chen Qingqing's songs cannot be said to be the best songs in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, but compared to this time, there will be no rivals.

Lin Li still has this bit of confidence.

After finishing the Spring Festival Gala program, Lin Li had a new job.

That was the invitation sent by Zhang Dashong's "The Grandmaster" crew, hoping that Lin Li would write a theme song for "The Grandmaster".

When Zhang Dashong came forward, Lin Li naturally couldn't refuse, not to mention that this was a movie starring himself, so writing a theme song that fit the theme of the movie seemed to be the right thing to do.

Soon, Lin Li selected a song called "Virtual, Virtual and Real", recorded a demo and sent it to Zhang Dasong.

At this time, Zhang Dasong was still supervising the post-production of the film in his studio, when he suddenly received a demo from Lin Li.

Zhang Dashong smiled and said, "This Lin Li is really fast."

After speaking, Zhang Dasong walked into his office, closed the door, and opened the audio sample sent by Lin Li.

The demo is very simple, and the arrangement only has simple rhythm points, but Lin Li's voice is beautiful enough.

if i could be born again

Like Tai Chi, it was born from two rituals

Movement and stillness are like flowing clouds and flowing water

Chasing an open-minded look

Let the huge power come and hit me

It takes me four ounces to move a thousand catties

The weak can defeat the strong

Later arrivals may come first

The sky is vast and the earth is vast and profound

…………

Hearing Lin Li's confident and open-minded voice in the demo, he really sounded like a martial arts master. Zhang Dashong nodded with satisfaction. Lin Li really understood movies and music.

The songs I write are what I want.

Zhang Dashong closed his eyes and began to feel the song.

In the gathering of emptiness and reality

Keeping the truth in a false way leads to poverty in the palm of your hand

Unfazed by the oncoming force

Invincible true hero

Act as you wish

Deep down I am this kind of person

In emptiness, in reality, in reality

It's hard to love or not to love

The hurt is still so deep

the end of every road

is a person

Can't see the truth in the world

You are still so naive

…………

When Zhang Dashong heard this section, his initial satisfaction turned to admiration. The lyrics were so awesome. They not only talked about martial arts, but also about life.

The virtual and the real are the moves of martial arts and the normal state of life.

Only a martial arts master and an open-minded life can see clearly the reality and reality of this world!

This song elevates martial arts to the level of philosophy of life, and cleverly combines the two. It's really wonderful!

Zhang Dasong immediately called Lin Li.

"Hey, Lin Li, I heard your song. It's very good. We want it. I'll let the finance department pay the fee according to your worth."

Lin Lidao: "As long as Director Zhang likes it."

"I like it so much, as expected of you!"

"Director Zhang received the award. The post-production of the film should go smoothly."

"Well, it went well. The first trailer is expected to be released next week. If you cooperate with the promotion then, we will also promote your song."

"Okay, I want to see the trailer too."

A week later, the movie "The Grandmaster" released its first trailer. The quality of the trailer was very high. Every frame was beautiful. Every main actor appeared. Several actions in the movie were edited. Each and every one of the trailers was beautiful. The movements are very exciting.

And the editing is very powerful. Although it is a trailer, it looks like a complete short film.

At the beginning, Chen Qingqing stepped forward and stood in front of the martial arts gym. Opposite her was Zhang Congming. Then Chen Qingqing put on a Tai Chi move and entered the move. But when the camera turned, the person opposite Chen Qingqing became Hong Shen. , Chen Qingqing and Hong Shen fought several times, Hong Shen turned his face, and the camera immediately cut to the scene where Wen Qinglin assassinated Chen Qingqing.

These people are not in a scene at all, but when edited, the movements of several people are seamlessly connected!

The editing is very smooth, with almost no sense of disharmony.

As for the fate of the characters, such as Chen Qingqing's death, the trailer will of course not appear, but there are several scenes of Chen Qingqing and Yang Jun fighting each other. When the camera switches, it becomes Yang Jun versus Lin Li.

At the end of the trailer, the trailer freezes with the injured Lin Li rolling to the side of the stage to pick up the Eight-Zhan Dao, placing the two swords crossed on the ground with a fierce look on his face, and then two characters who look like they should appear on the screen. It was the big characters handwritten by Zhang Dashong: Grandmaster!

Lin Li watched the trailer and admired it in his heart. Zhang Dasong is still Zhang Dasong. This trailer is way ahead of other movies. It is full of momentum and a sense of high-end.

People on the Internet were also talking about it after seeing the trailer.

"It's high-end! Zhang Dasong's movies are high-end!"

"Awesome, I admire this editing!"

"Chen Qingqing's martial arts moves are so good. He's so damn good at hitting women!"

"Lin Li's last move was so cool!"

"Lin Li, come and chop me!"

"This movie will definitely explode at the box office!"

"The trailer is probably the best among the Spring Festival movies. I will definitely go to the theater to support it!"

"Have you heard, Lin Li released the theme song of the movie, it's really nice!"

""Virtual and Real" covers everything from martial arts moves to philosophy of life. He is worthy of being a perfect composition writer. Every lyric is written so exquisitely!"

…………

After finishing all the work at hand, Lin Li shot two more commercials. After that, Lin Li turned down all his work and returned to Yanda to attend classes.

Lin Li made up for the missed lessons in the past few months. He was about to have a holiday. It was unreasonable not to make up for the lessons. He wanted to take a good rest. He had not rested at all in the past year.

The classmates had not seen Lin Li for a long time and were particularly enthusiastic about him. They asked him what it was like to work with director Zhang Dasong. Many of them continued to praise "Young You".

What Lin Li didn't expect was that there were still some people who wanted to ask for [Lin's girl's] autograph through Lin Li.

In the past few months, the three-person group "Lin's Girls" has become popular all over the country. Their album has exceeded 2 million, and major TV stations are fiercely competing for it. The three people's appearance fees as a group are already sky-high. Far inferior to Lin Li, but close to the front line.

Lin Li lived in the same community as the three of them, but he hadn't seen them for so long since he came back. They were all performing in shows outside.

Seeing the three of them running around like this, Lin Li didn't know whether he should be happy for them or not.

Lin Li had just finished class that day and met Yuan Xiaodong when he walked to the door.

"Hey, Lin Li!" Yuan Xiaodong waved to Lin Li from a distance.

Lin Li was stunned and said, "Why are you here?"

"I'm fine recently. I heard that you haven't taken on any jobs recently. I guess you're fine too, so I'll come to you to learn a few tricks."

Yuan Xiaodong said a few Lin Lijiao's movements.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Don't you have a master? He doesn't care about you."

"My master went to another show, so I won't go. It's not fun to learn martial arts with you."

"You are really a martial arts idiot." Lin Li sighed.

"You don't know, since I came back from the set, I haven't been able to see you. I can't sleep every day. I don't think about food or tea. All my thoughts are..."

"Hey! Hey!! Keep your voice down so that others can hear what's coming out." Lin Li had a black line on his face.

"Haha, from today onwards, I will follow you. I will go wherever you go." Yuan Xiaodong laughed, "I will be your personal bodyguard. Your current wealth still needs a bodyguard like me to protect it." good!"

"Just you? It's really dangerous, just don't hold me back."

Lin Li and Yuan Xiaodong have been together for so long. They are like friends and masters. Now that Yuan Xiaodong has come to visit him, it is naturally impossible for him to refuse him. Lin Li knew that he did not have a house in Kyoto, so he asked, "Have you found a place to live?" without?"

"No, find me a place to stay."

Lin Li curled his lips and said, "I should have known better and wouldn't have asked."

"Haha, I would have told you even if you didn't ask. I'm thick-skinned."

"I see." Lin Li sighed, "Okay, let's go stay at my house. Anyway, I have a room at home."

Yuan Xiaodong said in surprise: "Your home? Okay, you bought a house in Kyoto!"

"I didn't buy it, the company rented it, what are you thinking!"

Yuan Xiaodong was stunned and said, "Let me talk about Lin Li, you made more than one billion from one movie, why don't you even buy a house?"

"If you have a house to live in, why should you buy a house?"

"The value has increased. If you put your money in the bank, it will lose its value within two years. Buy a house to preserve its value, especially a house in Kyoto!" Yuan Xiaodong said.

"Then why don't you buy it!" Lin Li countered.

"I...I'm poor. How can I compare with you? Besides, I'm traveling all over the world. If I buy it, I have no chance of living in it."

Lin Li was right when he thought about it. Although Yuan Xiaodong was Yuan Ping's disciple, he had not really gone to the big screen after all. His salary level was not much higher than that of ordinary people. There was still a lot of pressure to buy a house in Kyoto. He spent most of the time with Yuan Ping on the set. , and there is little opportunity to stay in Kyoto, so buying a house is not very practical.

"Okay, I have my own plans, come back with me!"

Yuan Xiaodong stopped talking, acted like a bodyguard, protected Lin Li, and followed Lin Li back home.

Song Wenjie recognized Yuan Xiaodong and happily received him and Lin Li when they came back.

After eating, Lin Li started to think about something.

That's what I thought of when I was chatting with Yuan Xiaodong before.

The box office share of "Better Days" has already been allocated. Lin Li is now a real billionaire, but how to use so much money has become a problem again.

"Mom, should we carefully consider how we spend our money?" Lin Li said.

Song Wenjie glanced at Yuan Xiaodong and said, "Why talk about this matter..."

After all, talking about one's family property in front of outsiders is an unspeakable thing. Not only Song Wenjie, but also Yuan Xiaodong also felt a little embarrassed.

"Mom, what's the matter? Xiaodong can also calculate how much money I earn. The box office is obvious. There's no need to think that the money is not in vain!" Lin Li put it bluntly.

Song Wenjie smiled awkwardly and said, "What, you want money?"

"No, I just feel that our family has so much money, we need to think about how to spend it." Lin Li said.

"Your mother, I have a plan for this, so don't worry about it. After all, your mother, I have also been a treasurer before."

Lin Lizheng didn't know how to manage so much money. Hearing Song Wenjie say that he had plans, he asked curiously: "Then what are your plans? Tell me."

Song Wenjie really thought about it and said: "I will use part of it to buy you two large villas in Kyoto and Suzhou..."

As soon as Song Wenjie opened her mouth, Lin Li interrupted her: "Buying both places? It's such a waste. We also have a place to live in Su City!"

"What do you know? After all, the price you bought will only rise and not fall. Besides, with your current status, you should have a more decent house."

Yuan Xiaodong also interjected: "Auntie is right."

With reinforcements, Song Wenjie became more confident and said, "I will leave some of it for you to marry in the future..."

Lin Li was stunned and asked, "How much do you plan to keep?"

"It must be one or two hundred million anyway." Song Wenjie said.

Lin Li opened his mouth and said, "How many wives do I have to marry to use so many?"

Song Wenjie said angrily: "You have a good idea. I saw in the news that Huang Xiao and Liu Yixian got married last year. They said they spent 200 million on it. We can't be worse than him!"

Lin Li was stunned, looked at Song Wenjie, and asked, "Mom, when did you become so willing to spend money?"

Song Wen gave Lin Li a white look, and then said quite proudly: "In the past, I had no money, so I had to plan carefully. Now that I have money, I think money is really just a number. The most important thing is that I am happy!"

Lin Li burst out laughing, but he was still very happy. As a child, it is something to be proud of if you can make your parents happy.

Yuan Xiaodong couldn't help but said: "Actually... the people I know who spend the most on weddings in the entertainment industry are not Huang Xiao and his wife. The wedding of Liu Ziqi and Wang Cheng directly booked the entire island, and invited most of the entertainment industry, as well as many foreigners. The cost of a star is said to be 500 million!"

Song Wenjie was stunned and vaguely remembered such a thing. She hesitated for a while and smiled: "I think... there is no need for us to compare... This kind of culture in the entertainment industry is not good..."

Lin Li couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, you just said that money is just a number."

Song Wenjie's face turned red and she said, "Go and wash the dishes!"

Lin Li laughed and went to wash the dishes honestly.

Lin Li hadn't decided what to do with the huge sum of money yet, but it was best to let his mother speculate for a while.
