Since the official announcement of Chu Qingqiu, Du Qing has never felt that any morning was as wonderful as today.
Early in the morning, she received a report from her secretary.
Overnight, the number of listens of Zijia Qiuqiu's "If There Is an Afterlife" on Penguin Music, a collaboration with Mango TV, has exceeded 10 million!
You know, it's only nine o'clock in the morning, and only about ten hours have passed since "The Strongest Voice" was broadcast.
Not only that, on the Penguin Music Soaring Chart, "If There Is an Afterlife" also achieved second place, and together with the previous "My Dream" and "Courage" were also on the list again.
Today, these two songs are at the fourth and eighth positions respectively.
This achievement can no longer be described as good, but as terrifying!
Of course, what Du Qing values is not the monetary benefits brought by these songs.
After all, compared with the money Chu Qingqiu earns from filming, these are just a drop in the bucket.
What she cares more about is the traffic harvest that comes with it. As long as there is traffic, you can make a lot of money. This is the consensus of everyone in the Internet age, otherwise there would be no such thing as a traffic star.
As for traffic monetization, Du Qing still has a lot of experience.
As for whose songs the other two songs soared into the top three, the secretary didn't say, nor did she ask, because she could guess them all.
"Stranger" came first and "Stubborn" came third.
Sure enough, when she opened Penguin Music to check the charts, the situation was exactly what she thought.
"If There Is an Afterlife" has 10 million auditions, but it can only be ranked second. How many "Strangers" should be number one?
she does not know.
She only knew that if she did not sign Zhou Ziwu to Qingmeng, she would be committing a crime!
However, although she was moved, she did not dare to act rashly. After all, the previous failures were still fresh in her mind.
She wanted to take a long-term view and formulate a contract that Zhou Ziwu would never refuse, but time waited for no one.
If we don't sign him as soon as possible, we might just watch our competitors sign him and become popular.
What's the solution?
…
Ten o'clock in the morning.
On the set of "Three Mu Sisters", it was raining heavily.
In the rain curtain, Chu Qingqiu was alone, walking forward in despair.
"Click!"
As soon as the director shouted stop, the props team also stopped "raining".
The director held a clean white towel and trotted up to Chu Qingqiu at a speed faster than Li Qi. He handed the towel over to Chu Qingqiu diligently and said, "It's over. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Chu. Hurry up and change into dry clothes."
.”
Chu Qingqiu took the towel he handed and said with a smile: "Thank you, then I will change clothes."
Watching her leave, the director sighed: "There are really too few dedicated actors like Teacher Chu nowadays."
Although his words were meant to give Chu Qingqiu a high hat, they were also true to his heart.
The city had just received a round of rain two days ago, and these two days were the time when the temperature was cooling down. Some of the older members of the crew even wore long johns.
As for this rain scene, a body double could actually be used, but Chu Qingqiu had to do it himself, shooting three or four times in a row in the cold icy rain. In total, it took almost half an hour.
This dedicated attitude is simply bizarre among a popular actor of her level.
Inside the RV.
"Buzz~"
Li Qi took the hair dryer and blew Chu Qingqiu's hair while saying distressedly: "Sister Chu, why don't you use a substitute?"
Chu Qingqiu's teeth chattered and he said matter-of-factly: "Because this is my job. Well, please stop for a moment and bring me the blue water glass on the table."
"Oh." Li Qi stopped what she was doing, handed her the thermos cup on the table, and then helped her blow her hair.
Chu Qingqiu unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, poured a capful of hot water, and drank it in small sips.
The hot water flowed all the way from her throat to her stomach, warming her body from the inside out.
This thermos cup was given to her by Zhou Ziwu to remind her to drink more hot water. At that time, she almost rolled her eyes at him.
What kind of titanium straight man would give a girl such a gift?
Of course, complaining was all she wanted, so she replaced her water glass with this one and carried it with her.
I never expected that this water cup would come in handy today.
As she drank the hot water, a blush appeared on her face.
"Deng Deng~"
Li Qi turned off the hair dryer and took Chu Qingqiu's mobile phone over. She restrained herself from looking at the caller ID and said, "Sister Chu, your phone number."
"Whose?" Chu Qingqiu asked.
Li Qi then took a look and said, "Mr. Du's."
Chu Qingqiu took the phone, looked at it doubtfully, and then answered the call, "Hello, Sister Qing?"
…
Eleven o'clock at night.
Zhou Ziwu once again took over Li Qi's job and became Chu Dahu's driver.
"Qingqiu, do you still want to go to the company to practice singing today?" Zhou Ziwu asked, looking at the road ahead.
This week's "The Strongest Voice", he wrote a new song for her. She didn't have time to film during the day, so she finished filming at night and practiced. This was also her pattern in the past two weeks.
Although he tried to persuade her to rest more, she said, "I'm not tired from singing," so he had no choice but to give up his persuasion.
"I'm not going, let's go home first."
"Okay, let's go to Qingqing first..." Halfway through, he suddenly realized, "Aren't you going to practice today?"
Chu Qingqiu said humbly: "I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep."
Only then did Zhou Ziwu notice that something was wrong with her state, and asked, "Are you really okay?"
He didn't know that she had been caught in the rain during the day, so he didn't think about anything else.
Chu Qingqiu cheered up and said with a smile: "Oh, it's okay. Maybe it's because I've been flying and filming in the past two days, so I'm a little tired. I just need a nap."
"By the way, Aunt Du called me during the day and asked me to tell you, never sign for Qingmeng."
"Which Aunt Du, Du Qing?" Zhou Ziwu said confused.
Chu Qingqiu said: "Well, just don't sign Qingmeng anyway."
Her words made him confused.
What the hell, Du Qing told me not to sign with Qingmeng?
Why did Your Majesty rebel?
It seems that she is really exhausted.
The car quickly drove to the Shengjing Temple of Heaven.
When he parked the car, Chu Qingqiu went directly upstairs.
When he came to the room, she had already gone back to the bedroom.
Originally, he was a little worried about her and wanted to see her condition, but when she entered the bedroom, he couldn't follow her, so he had to give up.
After washing up, he thought twice before coming to her bedroom door and knocking on the door, "Qingqiu, are you asleep?"
"Um."
Chu Qingqiu's voice came from the room.
"Okay, then you can go to sleep, I won't disturb you anymore."
He shook his head, it seemed that he was worrying too much.
midnight.
Zhou Ziwu was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Bang bang."
Maybe it was because he felt uneasy before going to bed, so he slept very lightly. When he heard the knock on the door, he woke up immediately.
"who?"
No one answered.
He got up, came to the door, opened the door, and a dark figure with the familiar fragrance of orchids rushed towards him.
