Huaxing.
"Arong, you are here. Please sit down. I have three things to tell you." When Cheng Shufen saw Zhang Guorong coming in, she asked Zhang Guorong to sit down and she stood up to pour water for Zhang Guorong.
"What's the matter? Is it a letter from the stars and the sea?" Zhang Guorong took the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking about, and asked with his eyes slightly shining.
“Yes, I wrote two albums of songs for you.
One of them is an album entirely in Mandarin, and the other is a foreign language album with ten songs in ten languages. Cheng Shufen nodded, but her face was not happy, and she seemed a little worried.
“Xingchen Haihai is so talented that he can actually write songs in ten foreign languages.
"Sister Fen, please show me the songs written by Xingchen Dahai first." Zhang Guorong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. In the music world, it's rare to find someone who can transcend language boundaries and create multilingual songs, and Xingchen Dahai has clearly demonstrated extraordinary talent in this regard.
"I have no regrets about coming to China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life." Zhang Guorong first looked at the Mandarin songs. After seeing this quote from the album, he couldn't help but feel a strong resonance and pride in his heart, which shook his head and made his scalp numb.
Although this sentence is short, it not only expresses the voice of countless Chinese people, but also deeply touches Zhang Guorong's soul as a Chinese.
This made him full of expectations for the content of the songs he wrote for Starry Sea.
He continued to flip through the lyrics of the Mandarin album. Each song was full of stories and images. The words revealed his love for the motherland, his longing for his Chinese family, and his deep understanding of the various aspects of life.
Every song is very motivational and inspiring.
He then turned to foreign-language albums.
Although these songs are in different languages, each one is equally brilliant, showing Xingchen Haihai's deep understanding and superb control of different cultures.
In general, the tunes of these ten foreign language songs are very exciting and inspiring, and it seems as if you can experience exotic cultures through the songs.
Zhang Guorong was surprised, but when he looked up at Cheng Shufen, he found that she was still frowning, as if she had something to hide.
"Sister Fen, what's wrong? Isn't Starry Sea's work excellent? Why are you still so worried?" Zhang Guorong asked in confusion.
Cheng Shufen sighed and said slowly, "Arong, you don't know. While Starry Sea's work is truly stunning, the style of this album is very different from previous releases, especially the foreign-language album, which challenges the audience's acceptance. I'm worried that the market response will not meet expectations and will have a negative impact on your career."
There are also Mandarin songs, all sung in Mandarin, each one is inspiring and patriotic. I want to be in Hong Kong... but I'm afraid someone with bad intentions will cause trouble, and then it will be troublesome."
“Sister Fen, I believe in Xingchen Haihai’s talent, and I also believe in my own choices.
Regardless of the outcome of this work, I am willing to take the risk and look forward to bringing new surprises to the music world together with Star Ocean.
As a Chinese citizen, I feel that we have the responsibility to convey positive energy through music and inspire everyone's patriotism.
Sister Fen, although I grew up in Hong Kong, my hometown is Meixian, Guangdong. Many people in Hong Kong, like me, have roots in the mainland.
I have no regrets about coming to China in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life." Zhang Guorong's words were so powerful that Cheng Shufen couldn't help but be moved.
She looked at the young man in front of her with a determined and passionate look, and felt inexplicably moved and relieved.
"Arong, you are right. As Chinese people, no matter where we are, we must not forget our roots and soul.
Ah Rong, since you've made up your mind, I'll support you with all my strength. Let's face the challenges ahead together." Cheng Shufen looked at the determined light in Zhang Guorong's eyes, and a surge of excitement welled up in her heart.
“Next thing, Stars and Oceans now wants five percent of the profits from every album you release.
"One thing is that director Zhang Yimou of Haikuotiankong Films has invited you to play the male lead in the film adaptation of the novel of the same name, 'A Chinese Ghost Story.'" Cheng Shufen glanced at Zhang Guorong and told him the next important thing.
"Starry Sea should have done this a long time ago. Sister Fen, go talk to PolyGram about giving Starry Sea a 5% share of the album's profits. If PolyGram doesn't agree, I'll pay for it.
As for Hai Kuo Tian Kong Films inviting me to play the male lead in "A Chinese Ghost Story"? How is it going? Sister Fen, do you think I can take on this role? "Since his debut, Zhang Guorong has not taken on any film or television production, so he was particularly cautious in choosing his first film.
"I think she can take it. Director Zhang wrote the script for Mr. Vampire and asked her company to shoot it. After half a month of release, the box office has exceeded 8 million. The momentum is very strong. I estimate that the box office will exceed 10 million, becoming the second film in Hong Kong to exceed 10 million.
In addition, their company is also shooting two horror films of the same type, both of which are based on scripts written by Director Zhang.
Director Zhang adapted "A Chinese Ghost Story" from her novel of the same name, and I personally think it's going to be a hit. Cheng Shufen, a professional with a penchant for accurate analysis of the film market, felt she could take on the role.
"Since Sister Fen is so optimistic about it, and if the schedule is not a problem, I'll take the role."
"Let's not rush to agree to it. Here's the script, you can take it back and take a look.
Let's talk about your salary first. The leading actress hasn't been decided yet, so who will she be? " Cheng Shufen said, and then she took out a draft of the script from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Guorong.
Zhang Guorong took the script and the four big words "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the cover caught his eye. He gently opened it and read it carefully, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was very interested in the story.
