Hua Yingying stayed nervously at the elevator door, walking back and forth, mumbling something.
After a while, Bai Yuling walked out of the room in front of the passage and waved to Hua Yingying.
Seeing this, Hua Yingying hurriedly walked over. Her toes landed first without making any footsteps. When she arrived in front of Bai Yuling, Hua Yingying asked nervously: "Are you agreeing?"
Bai Yuling shook her head, "No."
Hua Yingying's face suddenly turned pale, and she said after a long time: "Does he hate me?"
"You're thinking too much." Bai Yuling tapped Hua Yingying's forehead and said with a smile: "I asked, among the episodes of "Westward Journey", the only ones with complete lyrics are "Only You" and "All in My Life"
"Love" and "Only-You" were sung by an American singer in the 1950s. In this regard, we also need to purchase the copyright of the original author's cover. As for "The Love of a Lifetime", it is naturally better to be sung by Li Qing himself.
.”
"There are only two songs?" Hua Yingying said with some regret.
Bai Yuling smiled and said: "There are also a few pure music pieces. Li Qing personally performed them, so there is no need for singers to sing them."
When Hua Yingying heard this, she looked even more disappointed.
Bai Yuling frowned and said: "Yingying, you are no longer a singer. Since you have joined Huayun, you naturally have to correct yourself as an actor. If the company promotes you as a singer, you will not be able to go far. You see,
The two movies you participated in before have good box office reputations. Believe me, as an actor, you will earn more, and maybe you will have a place in the Academy Awards next year."
Hua Yingying was stunned and speechless.
She is 10 years old this year. She used to belong to the Tianan Entertainment Agency founded by Hua De'an. When she was 17 years old, she debuted as a three-person idol group called "Lucky Girl".
After the release of their first album, the sales volume can be said to be very good, and they have accumulated a lot of fans. Just when they were smug and wanted to go further, one of the team members was suddenly exposed by major media.
This led to a significant decline in the popularity of "Lucky Girl". As a result, this three-person female idol group was beaten to pieces by this group before it even started to rise. Some radical fans even went to Tianan Entertainment Agency.
The splashing of red paint caused many artists in the company to complain.
During that period of darkness, Hua Yingying's group did not have an announcement to take over.
Soon after, the situation became worse. After careful consideration, the company decided to terminate the contract with the other two team members. Only Hua Yingying had the opportunity to stay in the company.
Hua Yingying's appearance is not actually pretty, she can only be considered above average, but she is very tall and has a good figure. Coupled with her contagious voice, she can sing songs
She is very unique, she is the vocalist in the team, and she is Hua De'an's cousin, so she was left at Tianan Entertainment Agency, hoping that she can shine in the music world when there is an opportunity in the future.
However, opportunities are not so easy to wait for.
After a two-year window period, and Hua De'an was not the only one who had the final say in the company, as he grew older, Tianan Entertainment Brokerage Company finally had the idea to trade Hua Yingying out.
So the Huayun Film and Television Company, which had been paying attention to this aspect for a long time, poached her and immediately sent her to the TVB actor training class to receive individual acting training.
After a short training, Hua Yingying prepared to debut as a movie star under the instruction of Huayun Film and Television Production Company.
Because Huayun Film and Television Production Company invested in the movie "Love Words", Hua Yingying had the opportunity to star in a small role with only two or three lines in a big production like "Love Words".
Of course, in addition to this, Huayun Film and Television Company also attaches great importance to Hua Yingying's voice. Before her debut, she was hailed as the leader among newcomers in the Hong Kong music scene, and she was able to win the Golden Melody Award for the Newcomer King.
Therefore, when the episode "Angkor Wat" in "Love Talk" came out, and it was sung by Li Qing himself, Huayun Film and Television actively created opportunities for Hua Yingying. Fortunately, Hua Yingying lived up to expectations and was lucky enough to get "Angkor Wat".
The singing rights of the song "Cave".
Hua Yingying likes the song "Angkor Wat" very much. During the recording period, she also worked hard to improve it. Combining the plot of the movie "Love Words", she tried her best to show the emotions conveyed in the story in "Angkor Wat".
In fact, the song "Angkor Wat" was indeed performed unparalleled by Hua Yingying, full of profound and rich situations, and director Wang Jiachen was full of praise after hearing it.
However, this song, which is highly anticipated by everyone, will not be released to the outside world until next summer at the earliest due to the production schedule of the movie "Love Words".
In this way, Hua Yingying's identity as a singer will be weakened and become even more bleak. This is definitely not the result Hua Yingying is willing to wait for.
From the bottom of her heart, Hua Yingying still hopes that she can become a full-time singer. Acting is not her favorite industry.
When she heard that the company's "Westward Journey" was about to be released during the Spring Festival, Hua Yingying became interested and has been begging Bai Yuling for help recently.
Bai Yuling agreed to this for Hua De'an's sake and because Hua Yingying's singing voice was indeed perfect.
Just as "Westward Journey" was wrapping up, Li Qing came to Hong Kong with the filming team for post-editing. Bai Yuling quickly asked Li Qing about this matter.
However, the facts disappointed Bai Yuling. She did not dare to ask Li Qing to write songs for her company's singers. After asking that there were indeed no suitable songs in the movie, she left quickly so as not to disturb Li Qing and others' work.
"Sister Yuling, can I sing the song "The Love of My Life"?"
When Bai Yuling heard Hua Yingying's words, she was angry and funny.
Just when I was about to say something, I heard a voice from behind: "You want to sing "The Love of My Life"?"
Hearing the familiar tone, Bai Yuling's legs softened. She turned around and saw Li Qing's handsome face. She hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, Qingzi, why are you out? Are you done?"
"Well, I'm done for now." After Li Qing finished speaking, he looked at Hua Yingying.
He always felt that this woman looked familiar, but after filtering through his mind, he still couldn't find any information about this woman.
"Yes, Mr. Li, I want to sing "The Love of My Life" and I really want to leave my singing voice in the movie "Westward Journey"."
Hua Yingying looked at Li Qing with bright eyes, her heart was filled with waves, and even her hands that were hanging down began to tremble, but on the surface she said with great determination: "Please give me this chance!"
At this time, Bai Yuling said with a forced smile: "Qingzi, let me introduce to you. This is Hua Yingying, an actress who has just debuted in our company. I hope you have the opportunity to pay more attention to her! As a newcomer, she doesn't understand the rules.
If she conflicts with you verbally, please don't talk about it. By the way, you must be familiar with her uncle, he is Hua De'an."
Li Qing suddenly realized what he said.
It turns out that she is Hua De'an's niece, no wonder she looks familiar. If you look carefully at Hua Yingying's appearance, she does look a bit similar to Hua De'an.
"Have you ever heard me sing "Angkor Wat"?"
Seeing that Li Qing seemed unmoved, Hua Yingying said anxiously: "Director Wang Jiachen really appreciates my singing!"
""Angkor Wat" was given to you to sing?" Li Qing was surprised.
"Yes." Hua Yingying nodded quickly.
Li Qing became a little interested: "Aren't you an actor? Why do you seem to like singing so much?"
"She used to make her debut in a three-person female singer group. Later, the group disbanded and she became an actress." Bai Yuling explained.
"Why disband?"
Li Qing looked at Hua Yingying and felt a little fond of this woman for no reason.
Because he used to be a singer in a group, but later he also suffered the fate of disbanding.
Hua Yingying was a little confused: "Because...because..."
Seeing that Hua Yingying was speechless, Bai Yuling smiled and said: "Because of the *** incident, she originally belonged to the "luk-girl" group, but because one of the girls was dating in private, she
Dozens of photos were accidentally leaked, so their group suffered a devastating blow and their reputation plummeted, but Hua Yingying herself is very clean, I can guarantee this."
***……
Li Qing said oh, thought for a moment, and then said to Hua Yingying: "Come in with me."
Um?
Bai Yuling's eyes widened.
Is there really a chance?
Hua Yingying also had a look of disbelief on her face, her face turned as red as a red apple with excitement, and she followed Li Qing into the room.
This is a studio that combines multiple functions such as editing and recording. It looks like a small recording studio. All post-production of Huayun Film and Television’s movies is completed through this small studio.
Journey to the West is no exception.
At this time, five or six staff members in the studio were busy at their respective operating desks.
Li Qing took Hua Yingying to an operator, picked up the microphone and earphones next to them, handed them to Hua Yingying, then entered a few codes on the operator, and then said to Hua Yingying: "
Come, sing a few lines and listen."
All the staff at the scene stopped moving, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Hua Yingying, their faces full of interest.
Hua Yingying was in a dazed state when a faint sound of music came from the studio.
"Is it "The Love of My Life"?" someone asked curiously.
Hua Yingying's thoughts were finally confirmed. She put on the headphones with trembling hands. When the rhythm was reached, she picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, and sang softly:
"The past, the present, the past, never come again
red, fallen leaves, long buried, in the dust
The beginning and the end are always, unchanged
You are wandering in the sky, beyond the white clouds..."
There is a kind of singer who is born to sing.
Since he knew nothing but singing, he had no choice.
Li Qing silently watched Hua Yingying start singing. Although her starting key was raised a few steps due to excitement, when she reacted, she could still show off her unique singing voice with such skillful control.
, in Li Qing’s opinion, it is absolutely impossible to achieve without profound singing skills.
"The sea of suffering stirs up love and hate
In this world, it is difficult to escape fate
Blind date, unexpectedly inaccessible
Or I should, believe, it is fate..."
There is a kind of singing that makes people fall down and worship.
It seemed that the staff at the scene saw Hua Yingying for the first time and heard Hua Yingying's singing for the first time.
So when the singing came to their ears, the staff who were familiar with "Westward Journey" felt a little sad for a moment.
"If I don't wear the gold hoop, I can't save her. If I wear the gold hoop, I can't love her."
"Ten thousand years is too long. Seize the day and night. Along the way, you realize that nothing is immortal."
"We finally understand that once we miss someone who was once a step away from us, even if we transform into a hero, wear golden armor, step on colorful auspicious clouds, and leap thousands of miles, we may not be able to catch up with him.
"
"Don't wait until you lose it to learn how to cherish it."
Countless movie scenes passed through their minds.
As if reliving "Westward Journey" again, one of the editors' eyes turned red and he lowered his head sadly...
When the short song ended, Li Qing pressed the end button on the console, and then clicked replay.
In an instant, the song that had just ended reappeared in the entire studio through the speakers in the room.
Hua Yingying took off her headphones and looked at Li Qing with an empty head, waiting for the final judgment.
After a while.
"good."
Li Qing laughed and looked Hua Yingying up and down: "Are you Brother Hua's niece?"
"She's my niece." Hua Yingying corrected, seeming to care about this very much.
"Brother Hua always has a good eye for people. I'm very surprised why he let you go."
When Li Qing's words came out, everyone suddenly looked at Hua Yingying.
Even Bai Yuling's gaze towards Hua Yingying flashed with a hint of surprise.
Obviously, no one expected that Hua Yingying could receive such high praise from Li Qing.
"It's not that my cousin doesn't want me, it's that the people in their company think I'm a burden because I'm burdened with scandals."
Hua Yingying looked gloomy: "They all said that I have no room for improvement, so I might as well quit the music scene early, find a job as an office worker, and live the rest of my life."
Li Qing nodded silently, and then said to Bai Yuling: "Mr. Bai, congratulations, you have made a lot of money for being able to discover such a singer."
Bai Yuling was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a sweet smile: "Oh, look what you said, I don't know about Yingying's talent? I was just worried that she would be proud, so I kept it secret from her. I never thought that you would take this thing.
The matter has been exposed. That's it. Once the things at hand are finished, I will ask someone to arrange Yingying's schedule and try to help her release her first album this morning."
When Hua Yingying heard this, she said excitedly and gratefully: "Really? Sister Yuling, please don't lie to me."
"Of course not." Bai Yuling said with a smile: "And with Mr. Li here to witness, how can I break my promise?"
Li Qing smiled noncommittally, and then said to Hua Yingying: "Since you want to sing "The Love of a Lifetime", then I'll leave it to you. You can record the song "The Love of a Lifetime" as soon as possible in the next two days.
Come out and put it in the promotional video."
After finishing speaking, he patted the keyboard of the staff member sitting next to him: "Acheng, cut the promotional video as soon as possible."
"And Sister Yuling, in a few days you can contact the TV station and release the promotional video. You'd better contact the theater chain in advance. I want to get the theater chain's advertising one month before the Spring Festival."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded quickly.
Hua Yingying was so excited that she was speechless.
"Oh, there's more."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he was about to leave. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and said to Bai Yuling: "There is also the network, Sister Yuling. I am responsible for the mainland side, but you need to show your power on Hong Kong and Taiwan."
"No problem!" Bai Yuling agreed readily, but she was still a little confused.
After Li Qing flew back to Hong Kong two days ago, he immediately held the closing banquet.
While drinking and drinking, Li Qing found Bai Yuling and told her the publicity plan.
In addition to traditional publicity methods, Li Qing actually wants to spread advertisements throughout the entire online world?
This puzzled Bai Yuling.
Although there are some groups in the online world, they are definitely not the mainstream. Of the 700,000 people in Hong Kong, there are probably not even 10,000 people who have time to surf the Internet. Just to please these 10,000 people, do you have to work hard to dominate online public opinion?
But after all, Li Qing is the big boss in this project. The other party is willing to spend money, so she is naturally unambiguous.
However, even she did not expect that precisely because of this move that she disapproved of, it would completely change the original box office fate of "Westward Journey"!
Thanks to Zheng Jiaerlang and other brothers for the reward, please give me monthly votes for recommendation! 8)
