Sound of Rebirth

No one expected that Zheng Yihong's first sentence would be this. An Zhixiao had been overwhelmed by the successive accidents, but Shen Yanru was slightly taken aback and then said, "Thanks to Director Zheng for his attention." , but what does it mean to shoot an advertisement?"

"You know me?" Zheng Yihong immediately became vigilant.

Although he is a very pure artist, he has devoted himself to his shooting career.But this does not mean that he is a nerd. In fact, because he has traveled too many places and read all kinds of stories, Zheng Yihong is actually very sophisticated.

So when Shen Yanru called out his identity, he immediately suspected that his home address had been leaked and attracted people to surround him.

Thinking about it this way, he naturally became somewhat wary of the appearance of Shen Yanru and An Zhizhi.The slightly eager expression on his face was put away, and he looked very polite. Obviously, if there is no reasonable explanation, this level will not be passed.

"I've seen the film made by Director Zheng, and it's very shocking." Shen Yanru said calmly, and after speaking, she introduced herself, "My name is Shen Yanru, and I'm a music producer. This is An knows that she is a singer who just debuted."

Zheng Yihong did not relax his vigilance because of this, but continued to ask, "Where did you two get the news?"

He asked vaguely. It could be understood as where he got the news that he was going to shoot an advertisement, or where he got the news that his family was here, depending on how he understood it.Moreover, Zheng Yihong was obviously deliberately vague and probing.

Shen Yanru replied impeccably, "Director Zheng misunderstood. I just came here to find inspiration. I didn't expect to meet Director Zheng. It's really fate."

This is a passable explanation, although Zheng Yihong may not believe it.However, he also knew that it was meaningless to pursue such a matter, so he just said, "I hope you two will keep it a secret so that my family will not be disturbed. Thank you very much."

"It's natural." Shen Yanru nodded.Then I asked, "What does Director Zheng mean by the advertisement just now? Are you planning to change careers?"

Zheng Yihong stared at her for a while, and then said, "Today is not the time to talk about business. If you have this intention, leave your contact information, and we can make another appointment."

An Zhixiao, who had been excluded from the conversation, immediately took out a business card of Shen Yanru and presented it.

After Zheng Yihong took it, he nodded and turned to leave.The people who were with him just now had already entered the door of Zheng's house while they were talking, and after he walked in, he closed the door conveniently, blocking the sight of the two of them.

Shen Yanru and An Zhixiao looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Today's harvest is great, but I always feel that it is completely different from what they thought.

"This...is it a success?" An Zhixiao asked a little uncertainly, then looked down at the civet cat in Shen Yanru's arms, and said vaguely, "I thought this cat belonged to Director Zheng's family just now. , He came to ask us to punish him.”

"Ahem..." Shen Yanru choked when she heard these words, "Let's go back first and see if Director Zheng will call to make an appointment."

"What he said just now shouldn't be perfunctory?" An Zhixiao asked worriedly.

Shen Yanru shook his head.It should not be perfunctory, but it is not certain whether they can decide to cooperate in the end.

Regardless, it can be argued that their original plan was a success.At least I met Director Zheng, and made an appointment for the next meeting, although the situation is indeed different from what I imagined.

She glanced back at the gate of Zheng's house and asked An Zhizhi, "Did you notice just now that the old man surrounded by those people seems familiar."

"It's Director Zheng Ming." An Zhixiao said.

Shen Yanru couldn't help but glanced at her, "Director Zheng Ming, Director Zheng Yihong, are they father and son?"

"It's possible." An Zhixiao nodded seriously.

Shen Yanru was even more sure that An Zhixiao already knew the news, but she didn't mean to ask, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't heard the news that Zheng Yihong is coming to Shanghai. Just now I saw someone reaching out to support Director Zheng Ming." , and also carrying big and small bags... Do you think Director Zheng Ming is sick?"

Thinking of the fact that director Zheng Ming died of illness a few years later and is now hospitalized, it is very possible.An Zhixiao nodded in agreement, "No wonder we waited for so many days and there was no one."

It seems that Director Zheng Ming should live here alone.

An Zhixiao thought for a while, and asked Shen Yanru, "Director Zheng has already discovered, can we come over to feed the cat in the future?"

Although I don't know where An Zhihao got the news, Shen Yanru can easily tell that her ulterior motives are not in drinking, and she nodded with a smile, "Of course." After a pause, she added, "It's best We can still find the owner of the raccoon cat."

This cat is very strange, it looks clean and beautiful, it should be domestic.But he didn't wear a cat card on his body, and he walked outside every day, and no one seemed to come out to look for it.An knew that in her heart she didn't want the owner of the raccoon cat to show up, so that she could come to feed the cat often.

But she also knew that this was impossible.

In fact, if you just want to raise a cat, you can buy one or adopt one.But things like eye margins have never been clear.An Zhi knew that no matter what small animal she saw, she would think it was cute and wanted to look at it a few more times or even touch it to play with it, but this one looked like a fine raccoon cat, and it felt completely different to her.

This is an acceptable partner for her.

So even knowing that it already has an owner and won't belong to me, I still can't help liking it.

……

On the way back, An Zhixiao kept turning her head to look at Shen Yanru, as if she wanted to show her how beautiful she was.In the end, Shen Yanru couldn't stand it and asked, "What do you always see me doing?"

An Zhixiao said with a smile, "Director Zheng just saw you at first sight, right? I suddenly felt that you were going to shoot commercials, and I would make music for you, which seemed pretty good too!"

Shen Yanru felt a little helpless when she thought of this, not to mention that after she moved behind the scenes, even when she was a singer, Shen Yanru had only a handful of commercials.She doesn't like this kind of work that has nothing to do with music. She also has this ability and willfulness, which has become a major feature of her.

He never expected that one day he would be caught by the director, and it was after he retreated behind the scenes.

But Director Zheng chose her between her and An Zhixiao at a glance, and it might be difficult to make him change his mind.If you refuse, it may not be very beneficial for the job of soundtrack.

However, listening to An Zhizhi's words, it seems that it is indeed very good.This is another form of cooperation between the two, and it may also be very interesting.

These still need two people to fight for, but Shen Yanru already feels very satisfied in her heart.Working hard for the same thing with An Zhixiao turned out to be such a good thing, exactly as she imagined.

After returning home, the two began to prepare the materials to be brought to Zheng Yihong, as well as the issues that might be discussed at that time.The opportunity to meet is precious, so they must solve all problems at once.

Time is also a kind of cost. Zheng Yihong started preparing for this event around September, and it has been more than two months now, but he still hasn't even decided on the protagonist.He won't have much time for them.

Perhaps it was because Zheng Yihong was really anxious, so he called Shen Yanru the next day and made an appointment with her for an interview.

Zheng Yihong, as an independent documentary director, is not affiliated with any company, nor has he set up a studio like many people in the circle. This is one of the reasons why everyone did not know how to contact him even though he was interested.So his foothold in Shanghai is his home.But obviously that is not a suitable place to talk about business.

Hearing that Shen Yanru has his own independent studio, Zheng Yihong immediately said that he could come and talk.

The home game is naturally more dominant, so the second meeting was very smooth and pleasant. When they sat down to discuss, the expression on Zheng Yihong's face relaxed a lot.

"I don't know about my proposal yesterday. How is Ms. Shen thinking?" Zheng Yihong looked at Shen Yanru and asked.

This unattractive little director, whose skin is dark because he has been running in the sun all year round, does not look like a famous director at all, but has a pair of very sharp eyes. When he looks at you, you will have a feeling of being seen through. a feeling of.

In front of him, all lies are pale and clumsy.Perhaps this is the unique temperament of a documentary director?

Shen Yanru only thought about it for a moment, and then planned to tell the truth, "To tell the truth, I used to be a singer, but now I have retired to work in music production. So in fact, I want to win over Zheng directing the soundtrack for this ad.”

Zheng Yihong turned his head to look at An Zhixiao, and asked, "Is it your song or her song?"

"I know." Shen Yanru smiled, "I haven't released a new work for several years."

"Sing a few lines and listen." Zheng Yihong immediately said to An Zhixiao.

An Zhixiao was taken aback for a moment. They had prepared the album "Four Seasons" for Zheng Yihong to listen to. Anyway, the studio is well-equipped.Unexpectedly, he actually found a unique way to let Ann know that he would sing live.

But of course this didn't bother her, and she stood up after realizing it, "Then I'll make a fool of myself."

Because it was an audition, An Zhixiao just chose the chorus part with a more beautiful melody and sang a few words, then stopped.

Zheng Yihong nodded, "The sound conditions are good. But I originally planned to use pure music as the soundtrack. If you want to join in, you have to re-write the lyrics. There may not be enough time."

He did not intend to use existing songs, but to tailor the soundtrack for the commercial.

But Shen Yanru did not give up, "Actually, I also inquired about it and found out that the reason why Director Zheng made this commercial was to promote his own documentary. So we boldly made a simple plan here, hoping that Director Zheng can give me some pointers."

As she spoke, she handed the folder in hand to Zheng Yihong and asked him to look through it.

After knowing that they were going to meet Zheng Yihong, several people brainstormed and came up with this proposal, but the main person in charge was Zhou Yu.She is a planner herself, so she can do this easily.

Zheng Yihong didn't care much at first, because he already had a lot of ideas about the commercial.But after seeing the content, he looked in instead.

After reading it, Zheng Yihong raised his head, with a half smile on his face, "It's kind of interesting, and it fits my theme well. You should have some materials here. I'll take a copy back to have a look and think about it."

"Okay." An Zhixiao got up to get the prepared materials.

Here Zheng Yihong said to Shen Yanru, "I saw you in real life yesterday, and I thought you were very suitable. I found out later that I had heard your songs before when I got home. I heard that all your songs are composed by yourself? "

"Yes." Shen Yanru said, "Actually, I wrote the songs I knew I sang."

Zheng Yihong nodded and said nothing more.

When An Zhixiao came over to get the materials, he left after getting them.

An Zhixiao couldn't help asking, "Sister, what did Director Zheng say?"

"He said he heard my song." Shen Yanru was also a little puzzled, not quite understanding what Zheng Yihong meant.

So far, they have done all the efforts they can make on this matter, and the next step is to wait for Zheng Yihong's decision.

First day, no phone calls.

The next day, there was no call.

At first, Shen Yanru was able to comfort An Zhizhi, presumably because Director Zheng hadn't made a decision yet, but on the third day, when she woke up early in the morning, she found that there was still no phone call. She couldn't help but wonder if her phone was broken or He was in arrears, so he deliberately recharged a few hundred yuan, and then called himself with An Zhizhi's phone number, but of course there was no problem at all.

While eating breakfast, she couldn't help asking An Zhizhi, "It's been too long and I don't remember. But even if I refuse, there should be a phone call, right?"

An Zhixiao nodded, "There will be."

Shen Yanru couldn't help but glanced at the phone again.

An Zhixiao asked her, "Sister, are you nervous?"

Shen Yanru was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled his performance during this period of time, his heart was restless, he felt something was wrong in everything he did, and it was difficult to concentrate even at work, could it be that he was nervous?

She was even more nervous than when she was nominated for the queen and was about to present the award.

But being pointed out by An Zhizhi made Shen Yanru a little uncomfortable.

"This is your first important announcement. If you can get it, it will be very beneficial to your future development." She suppressed her heart and told An.

To be able to appear on the national TV station, even if it is just a commercial, the influence is unmatched by other TV stations.Moreover, it will give people a feeling that this artist is "politically correct", and there will be more invisible resources tilted to her side.

Being able to get this kind of opportunity at the initial stage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.So Shen Yanru started to prepare since he knew the news, and wanted to win the job for An Zhixiao. Now that it was time to die, how could he not be nervous?

Although there are so many opportunities in the circle, if there is no one, there will be another one. An knows that with this kind of talent and talent, she will become famous sooner or later, but it is a pity to miss it.

So how can you not be nervous?

An Zhixiao drank the porridge with a spoon in her hand, and looked up at Shen Yanru from time to time.

I don't know why, but at this moment she felt that her face was hot, and she almost didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yanru, so she could only peek out of the corner of her eyes like this, her heart was as sweet as honey.

Even An knew that he didn't know that this was the first time he expressed emotion: how could there be such a good person as Shen Yanru in the world?

Or, how could there be someone like Shen Yanru who treats her so well?

Sometimes An Zhizhi thinks, if there is such a person who understands you, loves you, loves you, takes care of you, puts everything about you at the top, is anxious about what you are anxious about, loves what you love, and will always only let you see To the best side of the world—is it hard not to love someone, male or female, young or old?

So it's really no wonder that she has unreasonable thoughts about Shen Yanru.

Shen Yanru has experienced more battles than this one. She has even held a world tour concert, and she is actually nervous because of such a trivial matter. It is only because of herself.

Because I regard myself very seriously in my heart, so I don't allow a little flaw.

In fact, every time he guessed Shen Yanru's thoughts like this, An Zhixiao would inevitably feel that he seemed a little too narcissistic.It seems that she has determined that she is the most important one to Shen Yanru, she will definitely take herself into consideration, and all considerations are for herself.

She didn't know where she got her confidence.

But An Zhi knew that all this was not her guess.This unreasonable sense of certainty and security was what she felt from Shen Yanru.

Although Shen Yanru had never said such words to her, and seldom expressed her feelings.But from her words and deeds, many clues can still be seen.After all, she is not good at disguising these things.

So An Zhixiao was like a little hamster hiding in the dark, quietly collecting the differences, and then pieced together an incomplete truth in his heart.

An Zhixiao didn't know before that he would be such a timid person.

According to her personality, I am afraid that she should have spread the matter in front of Shen Yanru long ago, and talked to each other without leaving any room for speculation and anxiety.

But can't.

Maybe it's because it's too good, too good, too good... so I can't bear it at all.

I can't bear to make a little change, I can't bear to be surprised by this beautiful feeling, I can't bear to let it change even a little bit.

Because that's all it takes.

……

At noon, Shen Yanru's cell phone finally rang.

The call was from Zheng Yihong. ——In order to avoid oolongs such as wrong calls, Shen Yanru set a separate ringtone for Zheng Yihong in advance, so that he would not worry about gains and losses because of every ringtone.Because you don't need to see the name, you can tell if you listen to the music.

An Zhizhi saw all of this in his eyes, and the more he got in touch with, the more he would discover such little habits and actions that were completely inconsistent with Shen Yanru's personality.For An Zhixiao, exploring such little secrets was also one of the joys of getting along with Shen Yanru.

There is no doubt that Zheng Yihong gave an affirmative answer.But it was still a bit of a surprise, because he invited Shen Yanru and An Zhixiao to participate in the commercial shooting, and at the same time agreed to use An Zhizhi's "Four Seasons" as the soundtrack.

Before Shen Yanru hung up the phone, An Zhixiao could see the result from her expression.

She immediately seized the opportunity to walk up to Shen Yanru.Sure enough, after Shen Yanru put down the phone, she immediately announced with some surprise, "Successful!"

"Really?!" An Zhixiao immediately showed a surprised expression, and stepped forward, hugging Shen Yanru.

Driven by the happy mood, Shen Yanru didn't find it strange, and hugged An Xiaoxiao back, and then began to repeat the content on the phone, "Director Zheng not only agreed to use your "Four Seasons" as the soundtrack, but also invited Let’s take part in a commercial shoot together.”

An Zhixiao reluctantly let go, "So, Director Zheng accepted our plan?"

"I think so." Shen Yanru quickly restrained her surprised expression.She was indeed very happy about this incident, but she was actually not very used to expressing anger and emotion.This is not only the reason of character, but also the result of years of honing in the circle.

Emotional control is the most basic professional quality for public figures.After all, it is impossible to be happy every day, but when facing fans, when participating in shows, or even when recording songs, you can't bring these emotions into it.

So both Shen Yanru and An Zhixiao calmed down quickly.

Shen Yanru picked up the phone and called Zhou Yu and Xuan Zihang to announce the good news. After all, the two of them had contributed a lot to this matter, so naturally they should share the joy of success.

As for An Zhixiao, he couldn't help but hold his phone and scroll through Weibo.She felt very sorry that this kind of good news could not be communicated, but when she thought that she was about to cooperate with Shen Yanru in filming an advertisement, An Zhizhi was in a good mood.

This is a collaboration between her and Shen Yanru outside of music. For An Zhizhi, it's like invading Shen Yanru's unknown territory, exceeding the boundaries they set for each other.

As for things like crossing the boundary, once you are born and you are familiar with it twice, once you have the first time, there will naturally be five, six, seven or eight times in the future.

One day, she will fill Shen Yanru's entire world.
