Huo Yiyi smiled and asked, subconsciously thinking that Sun Quan was joking.
but……
Sun Quan: "Keep it secret for now. Just wait. When I'm ready, I'll go to you to discuss it in detail. By the way, you have money to invest, right? Haha."
Huo Yiyi laughed, "It depends on how the project you mentioned goes. If the project is good, even if I don't have much money, I still have a dad!"
Sun Quan: "..."
These words were domineering, and he was impressed by how awesome he was to have such an awesome dad.
"Okay, then just wait!"
"Okay, don't shake me!"
"No! Don't worry, I keep my word!"
…
A few days later, the new episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, and the ratings indeed increased a lot. By then, Sun Quan had returned to Hangzhou.
The day after this program aired, he heard from Xue Zihan that the ratings were 4.68.
This number gave him a lot of room for imagination. He felt that it would not be that difficult for the ratings to break 5 during the semi-finals and finals.
He also watched this episode of the program. Liang Boxin sang an original song. Although the response was not as good as the previous episode's "Boy", it was not bad.
He also heard that Liang Bo had signed a contract with a music company, which had sent a special music producer to Hangzhou to help Liang Bo prepare songs for the semi-finals and finals.
That evening, Xue Zihan entertained guests.
This time I didn't call Tao Yujuan, just her and Sun Quan.
Originally, they got acquainted because of Tao Yujuan. Now, when Xue Zihan entertained guests, he had skipped Tao Yujuan as the introducer. This should explain something.
For example: Is her relationship with Sun Quan getting closer?
This should be certain.
Sun Quan could feel it himself. The longer they knew each other and the longer they cooperated, Xue Zihan seemed to gradually treat him as a younger brother.
That evening, the place where Xue Zihan entertained guests was a Western restaurant.
Sun Quan didn't eat it often before, and he only ate it twice occasionally with Yuan Shuiqing.
But he is very clear about Western food etiquette.
Because when I was studying cooking in school, they had a Western cuisine class one semester.
In fact, you can't learn much in one semester. The teacher teaches in general, and they also learn in general. According to the teacher, Western food is very simple and there is nothing to learn.
Therefore, after studying for one semester, many students, including Sun Quan, felt that they really had not learned anything.
Just remember basil leaves, butter and so on.
When he was in school, every time he watched the teacher teach them how to cook Western food, he always felt that it was very low. There were not many big pots and there were a lot of messy tableware. It felt like there was not enough time to prepare the dishes.
long.
Especially every time he saw the teacher working there for a long time just to melt a piece of butter, he felt anxious for the teacher.
Of course, this does not affect the fact that Western food is very expensive.
To be honest, most of the Western food knowledge he learned in school was returned to the teacher, but he still remembered the Western food etiquette.
So when eating Western food with Xue Zihan, he didn't make any jokes like the male protagonists in some novels.
The two of them were cutting steaks with knives and forks. Xue Zihan chatted while cutting, "It's almost the semi-finals and finals. Have you ever thought about writing a song or two for which contestant?"
I'm so busy!
Sun Quan answered this in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I have exhausted my talent and can no longer write, so I won't show off my shame."
Xue Zihan looked up at him amusedly, "Is it true that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talent?"
Sun Quan: "Well, if you think this word is not accurate enough, I don't have any objection if you change it to Sun Lang Cai Jin."
"whispering sound"
Xue Zihan smiled scornfully and retorted casually, "If you are a real cheat, then why are you still serializing your novel every day?"
Sun Quan: "I wrote it blindly."
This answer was a bit strong. Xue Zihan couldn't refute it for a while. She was silent and suddenly said: "In this case, I can refuse Deputy Director Lin. Alas! What a pity. I originally thought that I could have a meal with Lin tomorrow night.
Where's the deputy director's meal? What a pity..."
"Deputy Director Lin? What do you mean? He also wants me to help him write songs?"
Sun Quan stopped the knife and fork in his hand, raised his head and asked doubtfully.
Xue Zihan shook his head, "No! He is the deputy director of the station and not a singer. Why does he want you to write a song? From what he meant, it seems that he wants to ask if you are interested in cooperating with our station on another program! How about it?
?Are you interested? If you are not interested, I will tell him the truth so as not to waste your mutual time, what do you think?"
Deputy Director Lin and Sun Quan have been to Blueberry Station every now and then, and I have met him twice.
Previously, Tao Yujuan told him privately that Deputy Director Lin was mainly responsible for Blueberry Channel's variety shows.
Sun Quan didn't expect that Deputy Director Lin wanted to invite him to dinner in person.
If in the era of WeChat Moments, you could take a few photos of eating with Deputy Director Lin and send them to Moments, you should be able to show off, right?
Why did such an inexplicable idea suddenly pop up in my mind?
Sun Quan shook his head and drove this thought out of his mind.
Xue Zihan, who was sitting opposite him, saw him shaking his head and frowning slightly, "You really want me to reject him directly? No, Ah Quan, you are making it difficult for me! Deputy Director Lin has given the task of dating you
I, I made a deal with him, but you don’t give me any face at all?”
Sun Quan laughed.
"Did you get a guarantee?"
Xue Zihan: "Well, yes!"
Sun Quan: "Haha, I think it is necessary to let you understand a truth."
Xue Zihan frowned, his eyes confused, "What's the point?"
Sun Quan lowered his head, cut a small piece of steak, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and said with a smile: "Don't just blame others for nothing."
Xue Zihan's face darkened and she stared at him with evil eyes.
Making Sun Quan laugh, he quickly waved his hand, "Ha, sister, I'm teasing you! Don't be so serious! How can you be so incapable of taking a joke? Right? You're just going to eat! Okay, I'll give you this face, you
You can go back to your business, is that okay with the head office?"
Xue Zihan rolled her eyes at him angrily, "That's pretty much it!"
…
That night, Sun Quan sat on the wicker chair on the balcony of the hotel room, looking at the night scene outside, squinting and smoking a cigar.
I'm thinking about tomorrow's meeting with Deputy Director Lin.
Xue Zihan had already told him about Deputy Director Lin's intention to meet tomorrow. He rarely had free time at this time, so naturally he had to think about it.
After cooperating with Blueberry Channel on "The Voice of China", what's the next step?
Xue Zihan once asked him this question, and his wife Yuan Shuiqing also asked him.
Both times he said he hadn't decided yet.
This is a fact, he really hadn't thought about it before.
"The Voice of China" was a stepping stone that he threw to Blueberry TV. His goal was not to do variety shows. He wanted to make online dramas and serious TV series. He also wanted to have the opportunity to direct TV series or movies adapted from his own novels in the future.
.
In this life, if a person has achieved financial freedom and no longer has to worry about the food, clothing, housing and transportation for himself and his family, and has to work hard to earn money, he will naturally want to do something that he wants to do in his heart.
In the past, what he wanted to do most was write online articles.
I dream that one day I can write a work that is hailed as a classic by countless people.
For this reason, even if he had been on the street for more than ten years and was in poverty, unable to afford a house, a car, or a wife, he would not change his ambition. He only temporarily changed the direction of his writing.
Compromise to the market, try to cater to readers' tastes, and write some words that can earn a little more royalties.
And now...
He has written several profitable online articles, and has won a lot of reputation and honors. Although in this field, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
But he has one more dream.
I think that one day in the future, I can be the director myself, take the words and stories I write, choose some actors that I am satisfied with, film them, and present them to more audiences in the form of movies or TV series.
This road is not easy to walk.
He already felt it.
He has put so much effort into integrating into the film and television industry, but he still feels like he is on the fringes of the film and television industry.
There will definitely be many bumps in the road ahead.
But, he didn't want to give up so easily.
Think about how much hardship you endured, how many sins you endured, and how many eyes and ridicules you received when you embarked on the path of writing. Is the path of writing easy?
In other industries, there is usually a master who will guide you through the door, but in the writing industry, there is a master like Mao?
At least in the first few years when he entered the industry, there was no master to speak of in the nascent Internet literary world.
Because at that time, everyone was crossing the river by feeling for stones, and the same goes for great masters. The stories they wrote were popular, and if they could be sold for money, they could continue to eat this bowl of rice. If they earned enough, they could go further and write better.
The more popular it is with readers, the greater its reputation will be, and one day, it may become a god.
And what about his Sun Quan?
Perhaps he entered this field too early. He entered this field early when his own cultural level was not enough and his mind was not yet mature. Then he still had a literary problem and always wanted to write something profound.
Something touching, the result...
Maybe he was the only one who was touched, his head was bruised and he was so hungry... All the great gods became fat, but he, Sun Quan, had maintained a thin figure for more than ten years.
Someone once asked him how he maintains his figure.
Every time he shared some experiences with the other party.
But in fact, only he knows it. He has no intention of maintaining... He doesn't earn much and doesn't have enough nutrition, so how can he gain weight?
It's like if you want to fatten a pig, is it okay if you don't feed it enough?
Thinking back then, the path of writing was so difficult, and I have already gone through it. Now, although it is also difficult to get into the film and television industry, is it difficult to overcome the path of online writing?
He's not sure.
But he is willing to continue to persevere, and he looks forward to the day when he can personally make his stories into movies and TV series for book fans and non-book fans.
Those stories are his hard work. He doesn't want to leave them to other directors to direct. He wants to try his best to make them the way he wants them most.
Late at night, he was sitting in the deck chair on the balcony, holding a cigar in his hand, squinting at the night outside, and he was really reminded of a suitable variety show.
A variety show that may allow him to quickly integrate into the film and television industry.
