Chapter 255 I Just Like You

"The Lost Tomb" is a large-scale production that mixes period costumes with modern ones. It is also a new work that was made to make up for the loss of "Blade Runner". Naturally, Su Yun's attitude towards it is much more rigorous than when she was shooting Hong Kong commercial films before.

For the full-time film "My Three Dead Ex-Husbands", several wedding dresses were specially customized. This time, "Grave Robbers" is to be exported to the international market, so the costumes and makeup cannot be perfunctory as before. For unimportant parts, we can choose some usable second-hand goods to save budget and time.

Besides, considering Fang Mona's current mental state, it shouldn't be easy for the movie budget to be cut in half even if she reports an overstated figure...

Therefore, Su Yun directly formulated a completely new plan for the costumes and makeup this time. Apart from the ancient costumes of the protagonists, which had to be customized, which was time-consuming, costly and laborious, even the modern costumes were not made with private servers most of the time, but were all new works.

In order to "cheat" the budget, Su Yun even pulled out her two newly appointed sisters: Zhao Suwen and Zhao Suyun, one a jewelry designer and the other a clothing designer, and they already had corresponding shops under their names, so the new fashion this time could be regarded as "sponsorship".

International-level movie-style gg is not something you can easily come across, and she also has some shares in these shops. We are family and we will definitely not cheat our own family!

Su Yun coaxed and deceived Zhao Suwen and Zhao Suyun all the way, almost patting their chests and promising to cover all the jewelry and fashion for the four series of this movie...

It was also thanks to Su Yun that I met him. Otherwise, if I had sponsored him based on the reason that "family members don't cheat family members", the past incident of Zhao Rifu and his third brother being cheated to death by their second brother's confusing operation of cheating family members is still vivid in their memory!

After finishing the modern costume part, the period costume part is the most time-consuming: the design drawings have been handed over to these old masters, and the only thing left is to wait patiently for completion and shipment.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Yun first gave Keanu to Zhuang Long to hone his acting skills and rapport, and then hurriedly went into the system's small black room to quickly finish some of the special effects that could have been done in advance.

I had originally planned to take the crew to China in the middle of this month to shoot exterior scenes, but I didn’t expect that the costume part would be delayed because of changes in some materials.

With two extra days of rest time for no reason, Su Yun carried a fruit basket and visited Zhao's house as if she were a relative. Then she returned to her hilltop mansion on Barker Road and took a rest.

It’s been a while since I’ve tried to sleep in till noon. I feel like I’m full of energy after doing this!

It was a rare moment of free time. After accompanying Grandma Su for a Hong Kong-style afternoon tea that was so filling that she could hardly walk, Su Yun wanted to call her friends to go out and play.

After quickly going through the candidates in her mind, Su Yun dialed Chen Boyang's home number very skillfully: "Hello, Danny?"

"Huh? Oh... nothing, it's just that it's rare to hear you say you're busy with work and don't have time to go out and play."

Unexpectedly, Chen Baiyang, who always had a lot of time for her, actually rejected Su Yun's invitation to play with some difficulty, and said frankly that he had recently renewed his contract and had a lot more work, so he was too busy and had no time to go out and play with her for the time being.

Su Yun didn't care too much about his busy and idle working style. After wishing him good luck at work, she hung up the phone and prepared to dial the next number.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Chen Boyang sighed softly and put the receiver back in his hand.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to tell her the real reason why you are busy with work?" Seeing his distraught look, Zhang Querong couldn't help but say something.

"There's nothing much to say about this." Chen Boyang lowered his head.

"Isn't there anything to say? Did you know that your agent KK Tan almost terminated the contract with you? Such a big thing, he suddenly took the initiative..." Zhang Querong didn't know what to say to him for a moment: the gold medal agent Tan Guoxi also managed Zhang Querong before, and later Zhang Querong and Zhong Buluo, who were signed under Tan Guoxi, gradually found new ways, and this is when he gradually changed to be mainly responsible for the two "big demons" Luo Yun and Chen Baiyang.

Thinking of the new contract signed by Chen Baiyang, Zhang Querong was helpless: "Back then I said that I didn't have the resources and ability, so I signed with a big company. For someone like you who can compose, sing and have a good image, KK Tan is planning to train you as the next Luo Ji. No matter how good the conditions are, they are reluctant to terminate your contract - but you suddenly signed an eight-year contract!"

"When I signed with Huasheng, it was only for five years!" Zhang Querong was almost angry enough to scold him, and he added with a sarcastic tone, "If someone of your quality still wants to sign for eight years, then what should we do?!"

"I'm sorry, I just..." Perhaps because he had too many things on his mind, Chen Boyang didn't realize that the words were sarcasm spoken in anger, and subconsciously wanted to apologize.

But before he could finish his sentence, there was another hasty knock on the door. It sounded like it was Zhong Buluo, who had been focusing on hosting shows recently and had seen less and less of him. "Danny, I heard that you signed a new eight-year contract with Huasheng, and you have to go to the TV station regularly to do shows and film movies. What happened?"

After Chen Baiyang stood up, opened the door and brought the person in, he didn't have time to explain. Zhong Buluo, relying on his eloquence as a host, spoke first: "Is it because of the first Golden Melody Awards? That's not right. I've seen the records. With the popularity of "Take Care Tonight", it must have one of the top ten nominations this year..."

"As for winning an award, although this kind of award ceremony will definitely give priority to its own people, but with the popularity of you and your songs, it is not impossible to win an award." The more Zhong Bu Luo spoke, the more confused he became. "And even if it is to exchange the contract for an award, according to your current worth, the most you can sign is another two years..."

"He didn't want to exchange the contract for a prize, he just wanted to exchange the contract for money." Zhang Querong added coldly.

"Change money? What money?" Zhong Buluo was quite puzzled.

"Let him talk to you himself. You'll be angry again because of what I said!" Zhang Querong was so angry that he stood up and went to pour tea.

"What happened? You shouldn't be short of money, right?" Zhong Buluo was really confused. Although the three of them were once collectively known as the "Three Princes of Central" because of their good family conditions, compared to Zhang Querong who was always fighting with his biological father, and himself whose family background was relatively poor among the three and whose family was not very harmonious, Chen Baiyang, who was particularly loved by the whole family openly or secretly, had always been the one with the most financial resources among the three of them.

Just look at him and Zhang Querong who are busy working to earn a living, while this guy often refuses job offers and then squeezes out time to travel around the world...

"To be precise, it's a change of opportunity." Chen Boyang sighed, and then told Su Yun and Zhao Liying about his previous trip to Zhao's Cinema with them.

The emotional and dream cards alone were not enough to convince Zhao Rifu to give up the idea of ​​cooperating with Jianing - even without Zhao Film Company, Zhao Rifu still had the TV station and record company under his control. Not only could he still make money, but he could also sell Zhao, which had been losing money for years, in exchange for rising real estate.

If Zhao Rifu is to be persistent in making movies and give Su Yun a chance to make a new movie to make up for the previous losses, he must see a considerable amount of profit coming in.

For a new artist like him who doesn't need the company to spend time and resources to buy songs, but can compose and write his own songs and his performance has always been very stable, it would be a good bait to give the biggest benefit to Huasheng, which already has scarce young singers and song resources.

He is not good at filming and his salary is not much... This is the only aspect that he can help Su Yun a little.

"How could you be so stupid?" Zhong Buluo was stunned. "Eight years, eight years for a young idol - and you just gave it away without saying anything, and you didn't even plan to tell her?"

"This is my own decision. There is no need to cause trouble to others." Chen Boyang lowered his eyes.

"You...I really don't know what to say to you!" Zhong Bu Luo sat aside angrily, took the cup of tea from Zhang Querong's hand and took a big sip.

"Don't be too angry. Look at me. I'm already angry." Zhang Querong drank his tea and poured another cup for Chen Boyang. He asked tentatively, "Do you really like her?"

There is no need to specify the "she" in the words.

Chen Boyang took the teacup and nodded with a slightly red face: "Or, right——"

That day, in the afterglow of the sunset at Zhao's Cinema, he looked at Su Yun's delicate profile from afar, and seemed to have returned to that warm winter when the bauhinia flowers were in full bloom.

It was the look of her constantly working hard and concentrating on achieving her goal that made him, a man who had no plans for his future and just lived day by day, feel a strange throbbing in his heart.

Afterwards, that heart that seemed to pay little attention to everything left an indelible shadow, and with its swaying, it jumped like a boat encountering turbulent waves - although I knew that this was very likely to have no future and no hope, I couldn't help but follow this fierceness that seemed to shake the heaven and earth, and acted like a moth to a flame or a mantis trying to stop a chariot...

Perhaps this is what people call and write about in books as "great love," starting with joyful appreciation, then developing into a youthful emotion that breeds jealousy and possessiveness, and ending with the present of giving without asking for anything in return.

In a flash, he suddenly grabbed the phone book and ballpoint pen on the coffee table next to him and quickly wrote down a string of numbers "176553211".

Zhang Querong and Zhong Bu Luo were curious, but they saw him frown suddenly, and then changed "176553211" to "176553221".

"This is..." Zhong Bu Luo was about to ask a question, but Zhang Querong held him down and explained softly, "This is a score of his new song. Zheng Sir just wrote the lyrics."

"This line should be 'Why do I love you?'..." Zhang Querong looked at the lyrics that Chen Boyang had written under the numbers, and sang them softly as he recalled the past.

"But if we change it like this, wouldn't the tone of the lyrics and the accompaniment not match?" Although Zhong Buluo's main focus now is hosting, he has studied music theory and pitch knowledge before, so of course he quickly saw the key problem after the modification.

Before Zhong Bu Luo finished speaking, Chen Boyang quickly changed the last few words with the pen in his hand.

"Why do I like you..."

After singing a line softly following the modified tune and lyrics, Zhang Querong immediately exchanged glances with Zhong Buluo next to him: This song will definitely be a hit!
