The next day, Qingyou accompanied Lu Zixi to the best recording studio in the capital to record a song.
This was arranged by Little Star.
After recording, Qingyou sent the song to the club's manager.
The other party took the invitation from the organizing committee of the domestic competition and applied to have the song used as the theme song for the game.
After listening to the song, I found that both the lyrics and the rhythm were very suitable. In addition, the club manager used his connections to pull some strings, and the song passed the review.
As a theme song, it's natural to need to buy the copyright.
Because Lu Zixi is not popular right now, her songs haven't been released yet, and she doesn't have much popularity, the copyright fee offered by the organizers is not high.
But Lu Zixi didn't care; he valued the effect of making this song a hit.
He wasn't really sure if the song would be a hit, but he had great faith in Qingyou.
After the negotiations were completed, Qingyou took Lu Zixi to sign the contract.
After signing the contract, the two returned to the company in the nanny car arranged for Lu Zixi.
On the way, Qingyou received a phone call.
Director Wu called her and said that a famous director had accidentally seen her painting peonies during a live stream and became very interested.
The director's mother loves peonies and will be celebrating her 80th birthday next week. The director wants to ask Qingyou to paint a peony birthday greeting.
Qingyou agreed immediately.
Then she used her phone to look up Director Hong's information. Although he wasn't as famous as Director Wu, he was still a well-known director in China.
He is particularly good at comedy films.
Director Hung had been on sick leave and hadn't made a film for over a year.
However, it is said recently that Director Hung is interested in making a spy drama set in the Republican era.
Many people are not optimistic about this, after all, can a comedy director really make a Republican-era spy drama?
Of course, despite the complaints behind their backs, there were still quite a few people who wanted to join the crew.
However, Director Hong has not yet made a decision, and many people are now watching this matter closely.
According to Qingyou's memories of the original owner, Director Hong did indeed film this drama, and the investment was quite large.
However, just as the post-production was completed and the show was scheduled for release, but before it could air, the male lead was suddenly embroiled in a serious scandal and was banned. As a result, the show's release date was cancelled, and it ultimately went down the drain.
Although period dramas set in the Republican era are not a popular genre, good scripts and high-quality productions can easily make them hits.
Qingyou had an idea.
She turned to Lu Zixi and said, "Come with me to Director Wu's house."
The game competition starts in just over ten days, and Lu Zixi's song is sure to become a hit.
The next step, of course, is to take advantage of the buzz and arrange other work for him.
According to Qingyou's opinion, the best thing would be to take on a TV series or movie role.
And sure enough, Director Hong came knocking on our door.
Lu Zixi smiled and said, "Sure!"
He now trusts Qingyou completely, and he does whatever she tells him to do.
The two went to Director Wu's house together.
The evil aura surrounding Nie Rujun has been removed, and she has been sleeping soundly every day recently, and her health has improved a lot.
In a good mood, her friends invited her to travel abroad, so she went along and is not home right now.
Director Wu and a middle-aged man in his forties were sitting in the living room drinking tea.
Qingyou led Lu Zixi inside, and Director Wu said with a smile, "Qingyou's here, come and sit down!"
Then he introduced, "This is a pomelo, and this is Director Hong."
Qingyou greeted Director Hong with a smile, "Hello, Director Hong!"
Then Lu Zixi was introduced to the two.
Lu Zixi greeted the two respectfully, "Hello, Director Wu, hello, Director Hong!"
The two nodded to him.
Director Hong looked at Qingyou and said with a smile, "I feel that your paintings on the live stream have already reached the level of a master."
“My mother loved peonies more than anything in her life. I think your peony paintings are very artistic, so I would like to ask you to paint a peony painting for me.”
"Do you think this is okay?"
Qingyou smiled and said, "I'm honored that Director Hong thinks highly of me, so of course I have no problem with it."
Director Hong's smile deepened. "So, what kind of compensation do you want?"
Qingyou didn't beat around the bush, "I heard Director Hong wants to make a Republican-era spy drama?"
Director Hong was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "You've got your eye on it too?"
Qingyou truthfully replied, "I hadn't thought about it before, but after receiving Director Wu's call, I decided to let the people I'm leading give it a try."
Director Hong also realized why Qingyou had brought Lu Zixi with her.
He asked Qingyou, "Do you want me to be the male lead?"
Qingyou smiled and asked in return, "Do you think his image is suitable for the male lead?"
Director Hong looked at Lu Zixi; he was very handsome and had a tall, straight posture.
He thought for a moment and said truthfully, "He has a good appearance, but he's not famous, and I don't know how good his acting skills are."
In this period drama set in the Republican era, the male lead is indeed a tall, handsome, and slightly roguish young nobleman who has returned from abroad.
Lu Zixi's figure and appearance are fine, it's just that his fame and status don't match.
Qingyou said with a smile, "As long as the image is right, fame will come."
“You can test his acting skills. If he doesn’t pass, I won’t bring it up with you.”
Lu Zixi's acting skills are indeed very good. Despite being suppressed and sidelined for the past year or two, he has not lost his acting skills and has spent a lot of time studying his roles.
Director Hong chuckled, "To be honest, a painting of peonies probably wouldn't be enough to get me a leading role."
"Moreover, I already have someone in mind, and the other party is also interested in cooperating."
Qingyou looked at Director Hong and said, "Director Hong, let me tell you the truth too."
"Judging from your appearance, the person you've chosen will be a burden to you."
"If you choose him, let alone becoming a huge hit and making money, it's unlikely that you'll even get a scheduled broadcast."
"Even if you don't cast Lu Zixi as the lead, I still want to remind you, out of respect for Director Wu, that you shouldn't jump into this pit yourself."
