Chapter 34 Life Assistant
…
"Who is Xu Kai?" The people from the "Singer" program production team looked at each other in confusion.
"Could he be someone from our music circle? Even if we don't know any music producer who is somewhat famous in the music circle, we must have heard of him," said planner Zhang Lihua.
"I have some impression of the name 'Xu Kai', but I can't remember who he is," said tuner He Biao.
Seeing that no one knew Xu Kai, Hong Hai said, "Then go and ask around. I don't care what method you use, even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find this Xu Kai for me."
After hearing this, everyone went to ask their friends.
It didn't take long for director Xiong Bingbing to find out that Xu Kai might be the lead singer and lead guitarist of the Big Bird band.
Xiong Bingbing quickly reported the news she had heard to Ouyang Changlin and Hong Hai.
"Big Bird?"
Many people still looked at each other in bewilderment.
However, He Biao, after hearing what Xiong Bingbing had found out, finally remembered who Xu Kai was. He said, "Big Bird was a rock band that was a flash in the pan more than a decade ago. Their lead singer Big Bird, whose real name was Xu Kai, was a young man with great musical talent. It was said that he had absolute pitch, which was widely known in the circle at the time."
"But I don't know what happened later, Big Bird suddenly sank."
"Many rock bands have sunk in recent years. Is it strange that Big Bird sunk?"
"I'm very curious, why did the Yang sisters insist on finding Xu Kai to be Yang Xindong's music producer? Is it because Xu Kai is so good, or is there some other reason?"
"Also, why didn't the Yang sisters allow us to mention their names to Xu Kai?"
"I only care whether this big bird is the Xu Kai that the Yang sisters are looking for."
"I'll go check with Yang Xinchun now."
…
"I have confirmed that Xu Kai is the Big Bird of the Big Bird Band."
"Then can Xu Kai really be a music producer?"
"I don't know. I'm not familiar with him. But since he has absolute pitch, his musical attainments must be high, right?"
"It's hard to say. If he was really talented, Big Bird wouldn't have lost all his fame. My friend said that Big Bird has not disbanded yet and is now affiliated with a small company called Maizi Entertainment. That company and Big Bird are both half-dead now."
"No matter whether he can be a music producer or not, the most urgent thing is to sign him first, and then use him to invite Yang Xindong. As for whether he can be used and whether Yang Xindong will use him, we will decide later depending on the situation."
"That's right. Sign him first, at all costs."
"Will the other members of Big Bird sign it?"
"Sign it, so that Yang Xindong won't have any excuse to shirk responsibility later."
…
In the Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film begins shooting, there must be a start-up ceremony.
In fact, the so-called opening ceremony is to choose an auspicious day and hold a ceremony to worship the gods.
As for who we are worshipping?
In fact, there is no unified requirement that everyone should come together to worship a certain great god.
Basically, they worship whoever is in their hearts, be it Buddha, Bodhisattva, various gods, Lord Guan, God of Land...
To put it bluntly, film and television workers should mainly respect heaven, earth and their own profession, and pray that filming goes smoothly and nothing goes wrong.
After all, the crew relies on the right time, place and people for their livelihood, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. If there is a god's blessing, of course we should pray devoutly, but if not, we should just ask for peace of mind.
Linda is an old-school director who particularly believes in worshipping gods.
Wang Bin, who has placed a heavy bet on the drama "Escape", also hopes that the filming of "Escape" can be completed smoothly.
Therefore, Xu Kai and others, led by Lin Da and Wang Bin, went through a complete opening ceremony.
Then, Linda personally carried the camera and shot a set of long shots, which brought the opening ceremony to a perfect end.
Starting tomorrow, "Escape" will officially start filming.
After the opening ceremony, Song Zhigang found Xu Yun and wanted to decide with him on the extras for tomorrow's show.
After hearing this, Xu Yun quickly asked Tian Youfu to call Cui Min, Jing Guangwei, Chen Tao, Tian Haitang and a group of extras who had come to join Xu Yun in the past few days, and let Song Zhigang select the roles and special actors first.
What Xu Yun didn't expect was that Song Zhigang was surprisingly easy to talk to today. He used all the people Song Zhigang recommended who could be used, and even persuaded Xu Yun to find someone else if he couldn't use them in a nice way.
Under such circumstances, Xu Yun and others almost all got the opportunities and rewards they wanted.
Until finally it was Tian Haitang's turn.
Song Zhigang smiled and said to Tian Haitang, who was hiding behind the crowd with her head down, "If you don't let me see what you look like, how can I assign a role to you?"
"Raise your head quickly so Director Song can take a good look at you so he can assign a role for you!" Tian Youfu urged.
But even with Tian Youfu urging her, Tian Haitang remained indifferent.
Tian Youfu was anxious: "What's wrong with you, kid? If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to find this store anymore. Hurry up and raise your head!"
Only Xu Kai noticed that Tian Haitang was not indifferent. At this moment, her clenched hands had turned white and her breathing began to become rapid.
Xu Kai, who is very familiar with social phobia, knows that he can't force Tian Haitang anymore at this time, otherwise her condition may worsen.
So, Xu Kai walked in front of Tian Haitang, blocked Tian Haitang behind him, and then said to Song Zhigang: "She is not an actor, she is... my life assistant."
actually--
The extras for the "Escape" crew could have been decided long ago.
It was just that Song Zhigang had always been unhappy with Xu Kai, so he had been dragging his feet on Xu Yun.
But Xu Kai can now cure Zhu Bing's strange disease, so that Zhu Bing, who has never called anyone brother before, has to call Xu Kai "Brother Yu".
Song Zhigang was very afraid that his previous actions would lead Xu Kai to instigate Zhu Bing to deal with him.
With Zhu Bing's unparalleled status and connections in the entertainment industry, he doesn't even need to issue a ban order against Song Zhigang. As long as he shows a little bit of dislike for Song Zhigang, he can get Song Zhigang out of the entertainment industry on which he depends for his survival.
Then he thought of Linda's warning to him before.
Song Zhigang didn't dare to provoke Xu Kai and others again, so as not to bring trouble upon himself.
That's why Song Zhigang is so easy to talk to today.
Now Xu Kai personally stood up to protect Tian Haitang, Song Zhigang quickly apologized and said: "I made a mistake, Brother Yu."
Seeing Xu Kai once again stand up to protect Tian Haitang, Tian Youfu was secretly happy.
I saw that Song Zhigang, who used to have his eyes on the top of his head, called Xu Kai "Brother Yu".
Then I thought of the construction team busy in front of the Xu family's house these two days and the big villa that Xu Li bought in Hengdian for nearly six million yuan.
Tian Youfu felt that he could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, Xu Kai, who had already shown his potential, might be snatched away by someone else's daughter. In that case, he, Tian Youfu, would have no chance of turning things around.
So, Tian Youfu found an opportunity, approached Xu Kai, and said with a smile on his face: "Qingyun, your career is booming now, and you really need a life assistant to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Do you think you can really let Haitang be your life assistant?"
"Haitang is good at washing clothes, cooking and doing housework. She is simple and reliable, so she is very suitable to be a life assistant."
Afraid that Xu Kai would not agree, Tian Youfu played the emotional card again: "You may have heard something. I have not been doing well these years. Haitang has suffered a lot with me. She was still young before, and it was enough for her to survive. But now she is 19 years old and a grown-up girl. She can't live like this forever. Considering that your father and I grew up together, can you give Haitang a bowl of rice?"
Xu Kai really likes Tian Haitang, and considering the relationship between Xu Yun and Tian Youfu, it's natural for him to lend a helping hand if he can.
In addition, Xu Kai can also take this opportunity to cure Tian Haitang's social phobia.
So Xu Kai said, "Uncle Tian, what are you talking about? With your relationship with my dad, as long as Haitang doesn't mind my temple being too small, you can come and help me at any time. The probation period is 5,000 a month, which is three months. As for the official salary, we'll see how it goes after three months. Do you think this is okay?"
When Tian Youfu heard that Xu Kai was going to give Tian Haitang a trial salary of 5,000 a month, and that he was going to give her a formal salary that would definitely increase after three months, he thought, "If this is true, even if Haitang can't marry Xu Kai, she will definitely find a good family in the future!"
Tian Youfu immediately thanked him profusely: "Thank you, Qingyun! You have helped Uncle Tian a lot! Uncle Tian has no way to repay you, so from now on, Haitang will work like a slave for you..."
