1v1. The female lead is a talented actress, and the male lead is a tsundere CEO who has never been in love. This is not a consistently lighthearted, "feel-good" story.
It's quite ...
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise behind the director, and the folders in Sister Chen's hands fell to the ground. Her face looked very ugly, which made him wake up as if from a dream. He stood up quickly and wanted to explain in a panic.
"That's all right."
Sister Chen calmed herself down, suppressed her anger, and thought for a while, then a surge of malice surged in her heart.
"We agreed to work with you, the director. No matter what kind of cooperation opportunity it is, we will cherish it."
Sister Chen's smile was stiff, but her eyes seemed thoughtful: "Don't worry, as for the investor's request, we will definitely comply with it."
After the director breathed a sigh of relief, Sister Chen was unwilling to do business at a loss, so she took the opportunity to stuff several of her artists into the movie.
"You don't need me to act anymore?"
Dai Shutao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Let me sing?"
"Yes, that's right." Sister Chen also made an embarrassed expression in front of Dai Shutao.
"This is the investor's requirement, and we've already signed the contract. If you want to breach the contract, you'll still have to pay the money."
Money, money, money again. Dai Shutao rolled her eyes almost to the sky, but Sister Chen's words were very much to her liking. After a little thought, she realized who helped with this matter.
Dai Shutao pretended to hesitate for a long time before nodding helplessly under Sister Chen's pressing gaze.
"Well, Sister Chen, since you've said that, there shouldn't be any other solution. Does the investor have any other requirements?"
Originally, the director's request was just for Dai Shutao to sing the song, but when Sister Chen said it, it took on a new meaning.
"The investors want you to be responsible for both the lyrics and the music. Haven't you always wanted to be an independent songwriter and thought you had talent for it? Now there's an opportunity for you. You can see if you have what it takes."
Only a blind person could not see the sarcasm on Sister Chen's face. Dai Shutao looked at her with a half-smile, sneering in his heart.
Want to see her make a fool of herself and fall flat on her face in front of everyone? I'm afraid she'll disappoint Sister Chen.
"OK."
Dai Shutao's voice was brisk, as if coated with honey, and it flowed slowly past Sister Chen's ears.
"Of course I agree to the investor's request, and I will also provide the theme song as soon as possible. But before that, I won't have any other work arrangements, right?"
Sister Chen panicked for a moment, frowned subconsciously, and took a long time to give an answer.
"Don't worry, the company isn't that inhumane. You can create as much as you want during these few days. A week is enough, right?"
The timeline given by Sister Chen is very strict. It will take at least two months to produce a high-quality song.
Sister Chen not only compressed the time a lot, but also acted as if she was righteous. If any independent musician heard this, they would probably throw the music score in their hand directly at Sister Chen's face.
If Dai Shutao still couldn't realize that Sister Chen was deliberately making things difficult for her, then she really was brainless.
After thinking about it carefully, Dai Shutao realized that only what happened last night was worthy of Sister Chen's anger. She shrugged indifferently and didn't take Sister Chen's anger seriously at all.
The director felt very guilty about the sudden change in cooperation, so he pulled Dai Shutao to his side and promised her that if there was a play in the future, he would find Dai Shutao first and make her the only female lead.
Dai Shutao forced a smile, and after the director left, she turned around and left without a second thought.
The only female lead? Never mind, she just wanted to be the sole creator.
…
Feedback came from the set soon. Hu Ke hung up the phone and walked straight towards Qin Guican.
The man stood in front of the French window with his back to the door, his eyes indifferently gazing at the scenery outside until Hu Ke spoke: "The director has been finalized. The theme song for the next micro-film will be produced by Miss Dai. But Mr. Qin, isn't it a bit too risky to give her such an opportunity without a contract?"
As soon as he said this, Hu Ke wanted to slap himself a few times. Even if he took more risks, it would not be as risky as what Qin Guican did yesterday.
Fifty million, he thought it was just a casual remark by Qin Guican, but he didn't expect that he really donated fifty million in the name of Dai Shutao. The white banknotes flashed before his eyes, and Hu Ke felt heartbroken when he thought about it.
In the end, the 50 million yuan did not even earn Dai Shutao a guarantee that he would sign the contract.
“After the song is produced, it will be sent to me for review before I decide whether to send it out.”
The man's voice was calm, without any fluctuation, and he explained the matter in a few simple words.
"Also, Zhao Weige's album can be prepared for release. As for the producer, use Mu Tao's name."
Hu Ke nodded respectfully, feeling surprised. It seemed that Qin Guican had already made up his mind to use Zhao Weige's reputation as the Little King to build momentum for Dai Shutao.
The long-awaited personal EP of the little superstar and the mysterious and talented composer, the two together will definitely catch people's attention.
Hu Ke didn't even dare to imagine what kind of storm would be set off on the Internet when Dai Shutao's identity was exposed in the future, which made Hu Ke eager to try it out.
With Qin Guican's instructions, Hu Ke immediately arranged the things at hand and devoted himself to Zhao Weige's personal EP.
Under Zhao Weige's threat, Dai Shutao reluctantly sent him the complete version of the lyrics and music that had been prepared long ago, and then concentrated on preparing the theme song of the micro-film.
On the set, Dai Shutao already had a rough melody in his mind, and now with some detailed ideas, the work quickly took shape.
Just when Dai Shutao was fully devoted to his creation, an accident happened to Sister Chen.
Although Sister Chen verbally promised Dai Shutao that she would not arrange other work for her, she continued to seek external resources in Dai Shutao's name in private.
According to the original plan, everything was going very smoothly. Unexpectedly, we encountered a stubborn person who refused to use other artists arranged by Sister Chen and specifically requested Dai Shutao to appear, otherwise he would sue the company for fraud.
The other party did not delay at all and directly found a lawyer and handed the lawyer's letter to Sister Chen.
Looking at the defendant's name and the amount of compensation, Sister Chen couldn't breathe and fainted on the ground.
When Dai Shutao got the news, Sister Chen had already been admitted to the hospital. It was only after she contacted the company that she found out which ward Sister Chen was in.
As for the whole story, Dai Shutao also heard most of it from other people.
Pushing open the ward door with a complicated expression, Dai Shutao walked to Sister Chen's bedside and looked at the woman lying on the bed. She had lost her former toughness and competence. Her pale face and bloodless lips were enough to prove how weak she was now.
When Dai Shutao asked further, she found out that Sister Chen had taken on many activities in her name without her knowledge, and the remuneration naturally went into her and the company's pockets.
If it weren't for the sudden accident, it wouldn't be long before the popularity Qin Guican had accumulated for Dai Shutao would collapse in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
