Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 832 A spontaneous trip (Part )

The sun in July is scorching, and the temperature is guaranteed to be 30 degrees. The hot wind waves are shaking, and it becomes more obvious as you go south.

At this moment, on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway heading southwest from Shenghai, a nanny car was speeding under the scorching midday sun.

The air conditioning in the car isolated the heat from the outside world. The cool environment may have made Liu Yifei feel more comfortable in the car, so she sang a series of pleasant and baby-like songs that were not in line with the times.

"Sun, sun, bring us the seven colors of light."

"It shines upon us, the flowers of the soul, beautiful and lovely."

"Today we grow up in the sunshine, and tomorrow we will create a colorful world."

"Come on, come on..."

Liu Yifei sang the nursery rhyme "Seven Colors of Light" with great interest. When she sang "Come", she stretched out her hands and grabbed the left and right arms of Chu Xuan who was sitting opposite her. Every time she sang "Come", she pulled Chu Xuan's hands up and swung them, making the rhythm of the music and the movements perfectly match.

After discussing the matter with Wang Yuan and others for a few days, by the beginning of July, the deal was almost done. All that was left was for Liu Yi to send someone to assist Wang Yuan and others in implementing the specific matters, which would have nothing to do with the couple.

Be it Bai Yulan or Wang Yuan and the others' matters, now that these important matters are done and the rest has come to an end, I can finally relax and have fun with Chu Xuan.

She was very happy about this and was in a very good mood.

Chu Xuan was helpless and let Liu Yifei wave his hand like a child. He originally wanted to sleep all the way in the car, but his wife was too excited, so he couldn't rest and could only play with her.

"Are there any other nursery rhymes?" Liu Yifei stopped singing again, tilted her head and thought about what other songs there were. She wanted to continue singing to express her good mood.

"Stop singing, be quiet. Look, you've made Brother Lu laugh. If you want to sing, sing something appropriate for your age. Why do you always sing nursery rhymes..." Chu Xuan started laughing as he spoke. He was amused by his wife's childlike innocence.

Lu Tao was driving the car, driving the nanny car borrowed from Tang Ren Film and Television to travel with the couple. He was thinking about whether to play some music in the car to pass the time and create a relaxing atmosphere, but he didn't expect that the proprietress was in a good mood and started singing. He didn't expect that she would sing more than ten nursery rhymes along the way, which really made him laugh.

"Are children's songs good? As long as the feeling is right, singing skills are not important, so that you won't laugh at me again." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.

Seeing her righteous and slightly indignant look, she also expressed the reason that she sang nursery rhymes to cover up her poor singing skills. This immediately made Chu Xuan laugh and cry, and found it interesting.

"Hmph." Liu Yifei snorted delicately. Seeing that Chu Xuan was not cooperating with her in singing nursery rhymes, she let go of Chu Xuan's hands in a coquettish manner, turned around, picked up the mineral water and took a sip to replenish her dry mouth from singing several songs in a row.

Chu Xuan shook his head when his wife let go of his hand. After getting the marriage certificate, Liu Yifei became more and more coquettish. The closer it was to the wedding, the more obvious her coquettishness became.

It is obvious that they were becoming more and more mature during the passionate stage after living together, but it seems that their character in the stage after getting the marriage certificate and before the wedding has regressed. It is really puzzling. Women are really amazing creatures.

Liu Yifei put down the mineral water bottle and raised her hand to stroke her hair: "I found that many children's songs are theme songs in animations. They are so sentimental. When the company makes animations, it feels very interesting when I think about it."

Chu Xuan put his hands behind his head and looked at Liu Yifei, who was stroking her hair with her head down. "To make animation, you need comics first, and to have comics, you need stories first. The best way to present stories is novels, so wait, and you'll have them when the subsidiary company is developed."

Liu Yifei put her hands together, then held a handful of hair with her left hand and searched for something in her bag with her right hand: "We already have a novel website, and the digital special effects company also has Teacher Zheng Min's original painting team. The digital special effects company itself is also a special effects company. So the industrial chain of this animation has been closed, right?"

Chu Xuan said: "It is, but it still needs to wait for development, which will take time, and there is not much commercial market for the animation industry at present, so let's talk about it later."

Liu Yifei found a rubber band in her bag. The ornaments wrapped around it looked like black crystals, and when they collided, they made sounds similar to those of marbles colliding in childhood.

She just spread out the five fingers of her right hand, stretched the black crystal rubber band, and with the help of her left hand grabbing a handful of hair, she quickly made a simple ponytail hairstyle for herself.

She shook her head towards Chu Xuan, and the ponytail behind her head swayed left and right. There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she was asking Chu Xuan if she looked good.

She is simple yet elegant, elegant yet charming, charming yet graceful, graceful yet dignified. A large number of relatively contradictory adjectives can be used to describe her. Her beauty is indeed difficult to describe.

However, Chu Xuan replied, "Sure, you are much faster at tying your hair now, so you don't need my help. You deserve praise."

Liu Yifei was stunned. Is this what you are focusing on?
She let out a breath, glared at Chu Xuan unhappily, and deliberately used the black crystal rubber band that Chu Xuan had just bought for her to tie her hair, and shook her head to show it to Chu Xuan, in an attempt to imply their love for each other, but now it seemed like a waste of her expression.

In the past, Chu Xuan treated her with great care and consideration, but now Chu Xuan has changed.

As expected, men are creatures who no longer take something seriously once they get used to it.

Liu Yifei complained in her heart, but didn't take it seriously. She returned to the previous topic: "The domestic animation market doesn't seem to be very good now. I haven't heard of any famous domestic animations, and the ones that are available are all from abroad."

Chu Xuan nodded: "It seems to be just "The Legend of Qin", there are still many topics on the Internet."

"The Legend of Qin?" Liu Yifei had never heard of it.

"Well, an animation with a historical theme and a martial arts style." Chu Xuan said.

In his mind, the most popular and explosively popular domestic animation is "Year Hare", but it has not been released yet and he doesn't know which company produced it, otherwise he could try to get involved.

With Xinlangchuan Media and his media experience in the Zhang Shaohan incident, in terms of publicity, he is confident that he can make this animation more popular than the original trajectory and spread the concept of patriotism more deeply and widely.

But at the moment, this was a clueless matter, and he didn't think much about it. Instead, he recalled an old incident: "Speaking of "The Legend of Qin"... Originally, Hu Yanbin created "Moonlight" for this animation, but later it became the interlude of our "Legend of Red Flame" for some reason."

"Really?" Liu Yifei didn't know about this. Chu Xuan and Hu Yanbin had met at a film and television base in Gansu, and after she finished filming her part in "Legend of Red Flame" in Hengdian, she went to New Haven for further studies. She hadn't met Hu Yanbin yet, so naturally she didn't understand some things.

"Well, Qin's Moon invited Hu Yanbin first. After Hu Yanbin created the demo for Moonlight, he sent emails to both parties."

"Then it was very dramatic. Both of us were interested in Moonlight. Qin's Moon wanted to use it as the theme song, but we only wanted it as the promotional song and interlude for Legend of Red Flame."

"at last……"

Liu Yifei understood and said, "In the end, Hu Yanbin chose us."

"Yes." Chu Xuan replied.

"It's not a loss, after The Legend of Red Flame was broadcast last year, Moonlight became popular, even more popular than the theme song Old Beauty," Liu Yifei recalled.

Chu Xuan nodded: "Hu Yanbin also won two awards, one for Best Film and Television Music and one for Most Popular Song of the Year. It also boosted the sales of his albums. His online popularity once surpassed Xu Song, and he also opened up the market for ringtones. During the Chinese New Year, he even invited Kong Sheng to dinner, but he didn't invite us because we were discussing the wedding in Wuhan at the time."

"Then he made a fortune." Liu Yifei said with a smile: "Although he is a bit narcissistic when talking about his own drama, this is equivalent to the fact that "Legend of Red Flame" made him famous. Of course, this is also due to his strong creative ability, just like Jie Lun. Talented musicians will always shine."

"Indeed, in our industry, one's own ability is the key to success." Chu Xuan nodded. "It's just that Qin's Moon seems to be getting more and more popular. If Hu Yanbin had chosen Qin's Moon, he would have gotten better. And since this animation has a sequel, his popularity may continue to grow steadily."

"If he had chosen our "Legend of Red Flame", it would have given him an early start, but if he couldn't handle the popularity it brought him, he would have been better off choosing "The Legend of Qin" because it would have given him sustainable development. It would all depend on his musical creativity in the future."

Liu Yifei said: "People always have to make choices. It's up to you to decide which path is right."

As she said this, she raised her hand to smooth back her ponytail. Some hair was stuck in the crack of the sofa, so she straightened her hair.

Chu Xuan's eyes followed her movements and inadvertently caught the black crystal rubber band on her hair. He said, "Is this the rubber band I bought for you? It's pretty nice."

During the days when he was discussing things with Wang Yuan, he and Liu Yifei would occasionally go shopping in the evening when the sun was not strong. In his leisure time, he also bought some small accessories and small items for Liu Yifei.

"You just realized it!" Liu Yifei put down her hair-cutting hands and said sadly, "I tied my hair like this to show this rubber band and express how much I like and love you. Just now I kept shaking my head to show you, but I didn't know that your focus was on the speed of my hair-tying. What else can I say? I'm dizzy."

Chu Xuan laughed a few times. He thought his wife was just being naughty and shaking her head because she was in a good mood. He didn't expect that she had such a hidden agenda. He grabbed his wife's hand and kissed the back of her hand to apologize: "I apologize. I didn't notice it."

Seeing that Chu Xuan understood what she was saying, Liu Yifei felt satisfied. She took Chu Xuan's hand and shook and played with it casually.

"We're here." Lu Tao's voice came.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked out the window. They had traveled all the way from Shenghai by car. After a journey of more than 100 kilometers and more than an hour, they finally arrived at their destination - Hangzhou Wetland Park.

The couple had no plans for their trip. The only thing they had in mind was to go to Hengdian to visit the classes of the two film crews and get together with friends. Apart from that, they had no plans as to where to go or how long to stay.

According to Liu Yifei, "Let's have fun all the way! Go wherever is fun!"

From Shenghai to Hengdian, you have to pass through Hangzhou, Jinhua and other places. Since you are going to travel along the way, you always have to see what fun there is in Hangzhou, the first stop, before leaving.

So the couple went to Weiyu to search for tips, and while searching, they accidentally discovered an inconspicuous news. Timely news always occupies the search box, and thus the two discovered a fun place - Hangzhou Music Festival.

Music festivals and concerts are different. They have been to Zhou Jieren's concert and have experienced it, but have never been to an offline music festival. This made the two of them very interested and they wanted to go to a music festival to see what it was like.

But how do you get to the festival? How do you buy tickets? Where exactly is it?

The couple was a little confused, but fortunately they saw an acquaintance, Hu Yanbin, on the list of performers.

Chu Xuan made a phone call, and when Hu Yanbin heard that the couple were coming to the music festival, he immediately invited the couple over, with a warm tone that everything would be covered.

"Teacher Hu, long time no see."

"Hello, Teacher Hu."

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei got out of the nanny car, and Hu Yanbin, who was waiting on the roadside at the park entrance, immediately came to greet them.

"Don't call me teacher. I don't deserve it. Just call me Binbin. Teacher Chu, Teacher Liu, long time no see."

Hu Yanbin took off his sunglasses, smiled and gave Chu Xuan a slight hug, then greeted Liu Yifei with his eyes.

"Then don't call us teachers. We are not worthy of that. Just call us by our names."

Hu Yanbin was polite and Liu Yifei responded with courtesy.

The two parties are not very familiar with each other, and it can even be said that they are not even ordinary friends, but because of the origin of "Legend of Red Flame", the relationship between the two parties is a little closer than ordinary friends. At least the two parties who have had a win-win cooperation are not embarrassed when they meet with this sentiment, but instead have a natural sense of friendliness and friendship.

"The music festival has afternoon and evening shows. The afternoon show opens at 2 o'clock. Which one are you going to? Or do you want to watch both?" Hu Yanbin took out the tickets and waited for the couple's reply.

"Let's go to the afternoon show." Liu Yifei didn't know that the music festival was divided into daytime and evening shows. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she couldn't wait to go and experience it.

Chu Xuan naturally had no objection. He took the ticket from Hu Yanbin, passed the ticket check, and walked into the park together.

There were a lot of people, all going in one direction. I guess the northeast direction was where the music festival was held.

They took a passage with security cordons that was different from the audience, probably to avoid any trouble that might be caused by the star effect.

On the way, Hu Yanbin said, "It's a good thing you're here. I have a question to ask you."

"What?" Chu Xuan was puzzled.

"Are your company and Mango TV planning to organize a singing and dancing variety show?" Hu Yanbin asked.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. At present, this variety show is still a long way off. They didn't expect Hu Yanbin to know about this, and he raised this matter in front of them and seemed to have doubts. They thought there must be something interesting here.

Chu Xuan asked excitedly, "Looking for you to be my mentor?"

"Sure enough!" Hu Yanbin clapped his hands and smiled.

Chu Xuan's words hit the nail on the head, confirming what he had expected in his heart that Brilliant Times was behind this show.

After all, Mango TV and Brilliant Times have collaborated on "I Am an Actor" before, and now they are going to organize another large-scale variety show before the show "I Am an Actor" has finished. It would be difficult to do this without support in terms of financial, human and material resources.

He guessed that this variety show was still a collaboration between Mango TV and Brilliant Times. Now that Chu Xuan admitted it, he felt that he had asked the right person some of the questions in his mind.

"Because it is a traditional Chinese singing and dancing variety show, I happen to have a lot of traditional Chinese songs. Long Danni thinks that my ability in arranging music is good, so she wants me to be a music mentor who focuses on arranging music, and to arrange music for each group of contestants or give suggestions for each stage."

"Of course, I guess Long Danni only contacted me because he saw that I am quite popular now. This is also thanks to your "Legend of Red Flame". Thank you very much."

Hu Yanbin clasped his fists and behaved very politely.

Chu Xuan waved his hand: "Don't say that, we are mutually accomplished."

"That's right, Binbin, you have a superb musical talent, and your music has also brought a lot of success to our "Legend of Red Flame". We achieve mutual success." Liu Yifei said.

Given the couple's status in the circle, they were so polite and courteous that Hu Yanbin felt very comfortable.

Hu Yanbin stopped dwelling on this topic and changed the subject: "I'm still considering it now. The main reason is that Mango TV has not made a decision yet and has not specified when the show will start."

"Yes, it's still a long way from recording." Chu Xuan said, "I don't know the details, but it should be next year."

Hu Yanbin nodded: "Yes, they still have a lot of preparation work to do. It will take a lot of time just to find new singers and dancers. There are not many newcomers and amateurs like this in our country, so finding contestants is a headache."

"It must be a headache." Chu Xuan said: "This program is not like "Super Girl" and "Fast Boy" that start with amateur auditions. Since it is to present a traditional Chinese singing and dancing stage, it must ensure that every contestant has at least basic singing and dancing skills, otherwise this program is likely to fail. But how many amateurs or trainees have basic singing and dancing skills? It's enough to give them a headache, so I said that the recording will be next year."

"Yeah." Hu Yanbin nodded slightly. "There's one more thing. I don't know if Long Danni is tempting me. She said that she will invite Zhou Jielun to be the initiator of the national style, Cai Yilin to be the dance instructor, Lin Junjie to be the vocal instructor, Long Danni himself to be the stage instructor, and I will be the arrangement instructor. In addition, you two will be the hosts. Is it true or false?"

Liu Yifei blinked in a silly way. Invite Zhou Jielun? Cai Yilin? Lin Junjie? Also invite her and Chu Xuan?

"She wishes." Chu Xuan blurted out.

Concubine Liu Yi laughed out loud. This Long Danni was really wishful thinking.

“I knew it!” Hu Yanbin smiled bitterly: “This Long Danni must be fooling me. If she really wants to invite you guys to take charge… Damn, then she’s awesome.”

“Who can’t say that? Whether she can be invited or not depends on her ability.” Chu Xuan said so, but he actually felt funny in his heart.

He and Liu Yifei didn't get any news, but Long Danni included them both. Did he really think that he could be so casual just because his company has a cooperative relationship with Mango TV?

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "Take a look. My suggestion is that this kind of music-related program that gives you the role of composer is quite suitable for you. Moreover, such talent shows often have the best reputation in the first season. You can take a look at it."

"Okay, I'll take another look." Hu Yanbin nodded. Although Chu Xuan didn't say much, his suggestions were worth referring to. After all, you see different things depending on where you stand.
