A million-subscriber UP owner from Blue Star, Xu Yanyu, transmigrated to a parallel world and became a traffic star criticized by the entire internet.
Her company wanted her to comply with a ...
Director Zeng, who was standing to the side, also looked at Xu Yanyu with curiosity. He was also very curious as to why Xu Yanyu, who had such good singing skills, could refrain from going on stage to perform.
While singers don't place as much emphasis on appearance as actors, good looks and a great voice are definitely a killer combination in the entertainment industry.
Xu Yanyu touched her nose.
That's because there's a new system, and she's not the original Xu Yanyu anymore.
Could she say that? Of course not.
She straightened her back, looked straight ahead, and said with a regretful expression, "I love acting, and Hongsen Entertainment has never helped me get any high-quality variety shows."
Even if I'm talented, it's useless without a good stage to showcase it.
Director Zeng and the recording studio owner looked at her with pity.
It wasn't easy, it really wasn't easy.
Xu Yanyu continued, "So I am especially grateful to the 'Masked Singer' program, and I thank Director Zhou and the others for giving me the opportunity to showcase my talents."
They gave me the confidence to stand boldly on stage, letting me know that even in these darkest days, there was still light shining down.
Upon hearing this, Director Zeng admired Xu Yanyu even more.
What kind of people do these people like the most?
When you come to their place, what you like and admire most are children who know how to repay kindness.
The recording studio owner comforted him, saying, "You'll make it big someday. I have a good eye for talent."
The recording studio owner's confidence stemmed from Xu Yanyu's recording of "The Ordinary Road".
With the ability to create such a great song and sing it so movingly, Xu Yanyu is fully capable of dominating the industry in the future.
"Don't act anymore. Don't go astray again," the recording studio owner reminded him.
To be honest, given Xu Yanyu's previous acting skills, she could only ever be a pretty face no matter how long she acted.
But Director Zeng, who was standing next to him, was unhappy and said, "What do you mean by going astray?"
He slapped the recording studio owner on the shoulder and shouted, "Don't you know how to use your words? Making movies is considered a wrong path?"
"Hey, Lao Zeng, what I meant was that for Yan Yu, acting was a mistake. Don't worry about it so much." The recording studio owner grimaced, clutching his shoulder; this guy was really strong.
Xu Yanyu smiled and said, "I probably won't have the chance to make movies anymore."
The recording studio owner glanced at Lao Zeng and said smugly, "Look how obedient Yan Yu is. From now on, don't make movies anymore. Let's focus on singing and releasing albums. If you have any new songs to record, come to my studio."
Director Zeng, however, was not happy about it.
How could it be a wrong path?
He stared at Xu Yanyu's face carefully. "Your face is really photogenic. Do you really like making movies?"
Xu Yanyu froze. What did Director Zeng mean by this?
How could she possibly like acting? She's never acted before.
But she's already said it, so she can't go back on her word and lie to people.
Xu Yanyu nodded somewhat stiffly, "I like it. I really like it."
"What do you mean?" The recording studio owner, who was quite familiar with the friend, sensed something unusual in his words.
Director Zeng glanced sideways at the recording studio owner, then shouted, "I just want you to know that there are no bad actors in this world, only bad directors. Acting is never a wrong path."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyu felt her knees go weak.
She quickly braced herself against the table with one hand to steady herself.
Yes, stay calm, she must stay calm.
"Hmph, are you picking on me again? How childish of you! Yan Yu is going to sing and release an album after she unmasks on 'Masked Singer,' so don't come here and interfere."
The recording studio owner couldn't help but roll his eyes repeatedly.
“I didn’t interfere at all, and I’m even more unwilling to accept your words. Yan Yu loves acting, and I admire her spirit of always throwing herself into the role and filming.”
"Yan Yu, I have a role for you, would you like to act in it?"
Director Zeng turned to Xu Yanyu and said.
Xu Yanyu braced herself on the table with her other hand; her legs had completely given way.
She cannot be too outstanding.
Look, now even Director Zeng looks at her with a filter, and has forgotten the terrible movies she used to make.
She took a deep breath before saying, "Director Zeng, I think using me will affect your reputation."
"Don't worry, I recently took on a commercial film project. It's funded by someone else, and we're still casting."
Some people also shoved a few idiots in, so one more or one less won't make a difference.
Director Zeng spoke very frankly.
The few misfits the producer sent not only had terrible acting skills, but were also less attractive than Xu Yanyu.
At the very least, Xu Yanyu can continue playing her role as a decorative vase.
Director Zeng felt more and more confident that the deal could be made, but he had another request before he dared to give the role to Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu was still considering how to handle the situation.
Director Zeng rubbed his hands together and continued, "Well... Yan Yu, don't feel bad about making things difficult for me. Could you record another song for me, and write another song for that movie while you're at it?"
"I have the instrumental version of this song now. See if you can help me record it tomorrow."
After listening to the theme song you just recorded, I feel that the end credits song I'm going to use for my movie is also lacking.
I was thinking, could you record another one for me?
Yes, after listening to the accompaniment Xu Yanyu just sang, and then thinking about the movie's end credits song...
Director Zeng really doesn't like the original ending theme song.
The recording studio owner immediately raised his head and looked at Director Zeng with disdain.
This guy just called someone "Old Deng"; he's the one who's "Old Deng."
After all that talk and circling around, it turns out he just wanted Yan Yu to help him with his work again.
Xu Yanyu was both amused and exasperated; it turned out that the reason this person was making a movie for her was because they needed something from her.
but……
No, her actual singing ability is only at the karaoke level.
Without the support of the system's music library and singing skills, her abilities would be reduced by half.
She was still thinking about how to politely decline Director Zeng's request.
Director Zeng had already pushed the recording studio owner aside and was opening a software on his computer.
“Listen… this song is the Cantonese version. If you don’t speak Cantonese, we can change it to Mandarin.”
After Director Zeng finished speaking, he selected an audio program to play.
The powerful music suddenly began, carrying a touch of ancient romance.
Hmm, this melody...
She seems to have found a song that's very similar to Director Zeng's song, but even better and more classic.
The owner of the recording studio next door listened to the song, shook his head, and said, "No wonder you, old man, wanted Yan Yu to help you re-record the song."
With such gems before us, even the humblest stones seem insignificant!
Director Zeng hummed and said smugly, "I'm just like you. I saw a hundred points, so why would I want ninety points? No, I don't even want ninety-nine points."
Yes, he was convinced that Yan Yu would sing the song again for him and it would be even better.
It's just a role in a commercial film; he could give it to the female lead if he wanted!
As long as it helps him win the award.
