Relying on love in the entertainment industry

In the lobby of the airport pick-up port in City A, a handsome mixed-race young man was turning his head and talking to the slender and handsome Oriental man beside him. His handsomeness and high spirits have always made passers-by look back frequently and stare at him.

But his friend has been holding a stack of A4 printouts and reading them with a dignified demeanor, only occasionally answering a few words, without obvious perfunctory, but not enthusiastic.

Cheng Xi was panting through the revolving door and entered the hall. After looking around, she finally found a figure that matched the description on the phone, and then hurriedly ran towards him.

"Hello! You are... Teacher Fang, right?"

When he asked this question, he actually hesitated a little.Because in terms of appearance, the young man in front of him is a bit too young, and does not fit his expected character image.

The other party didn't look like a composer and music producer who had made a name for himself in KS City, but rather a newcomer who had just graduated from university and was quite curious and confused about the world.

However, the young man's reply quickly dispelled his doubts. He reached out to shake Cheng Xi's hand and said, "Hello, I'm Fang Nan."

After confirming the other party's identity, Cheng Xi immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, there was a little accident when I came here, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay." Fang Nan smiled and replied, "I didn't wait long."

Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Nan looked younger than expected, and his temper seemed to be much milder than expected.But even so, Cheng Xi didn't dare to be too presumptuous when facing him, and was still very respectful when he should be respectful.

After all, no matter how young he is, the other party is Nolan Fang who wrote "Life Express" and "The Fantasy".The former circled the Billboard charts for more than three months, while the latter was directly nominated for the Golden Oak Award for Original Songs—you know, these two awards basically represent the highest standards for SN’s domestic music and film judging , and this is enough to make Fang Nan, who has only publicly sold the copyright of two songs since his debut, the same limelight for a while.

Under such circumstances, not only Cheng Xi was surprised to be able to invite Fang Nan back to China to compose and soundtrack for the crew of "I Once", but even the director who sent the invitation was very flattered.

Afterwards, Fang Nan also introduced the identity of the man beside him to Cheng Xi.

"This is Gallo Lee. My friend is also a famous singer. He is of mixed race. This is the first time he has come to country C. He mainly wants to see his motherland and spend some time there."

Cheng Xi hadn't heard of this name much, but it didn't prevent him from being very affectionate to the other party, greeting him warmly and shaking hands vigorously.

"Hello, welcome to Country C."

Gallo was somewhat flattered by his enthusiasm.

After getting in the car, Cheng Xi asked Fang Nan: "Is it the first time for Teacher Fang to return to China? Your Chinese is very good."

Fang Nan smiled and said: "No, I have lived in China since I was a child. I immigrated to SN with my parents when I was in middle school. Speaking of which, I spent a longer life in China."

This was a piece of news that surprised Cheng Xi, and he couldn't help but continued to ask: "I don't know where your origin is...?"

Fang Nan replied, "He's from this city."

This is a very unexpected news.Cheng Xi also did his homework before coming to pick him up, but there is very little information about this new composer in front of industry insiders. Most people can at least infer from his name that he may be of Chinese or mixed race , beyond that, not even how he became the composer of "LifeExpress" and "The Fantasy."

Fang Nan didn't have any works before, but he was able to become famous overnight with two songs. This definitely has some energy that the public doesn't know.Cheng Xi was actually very curious about Fang Nan's identity and background, but unfortunately there was no way to find out.

So when he heard that the other party claimed to be from this city, Cheng Xi's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he asked: "So Mr. Fang went to a school in this city when he was in middle school? I don't know which school he attended middle school?"

This question goes a little too far.So Fang Nan didn't answer directly, but smiled at him and said, "Why do you ask such detailed questions? Xiao Cheng, are you very interested in me?"

Fang Nan's appearance tends to be ordinary, but his demeanor is very good. Coupled with a pair of charming eyes, it is easy to leave a very comfortable feeling on people.Cheng Xi has been Xie Zhisheng's assistant for more than a year, and has seen a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in the circle, but Fang Nan is still the first person he has ever seen whose obvious temperament overrides his appearance, making him unforgettable.

Cheng Xi felt a little nervous for a moment when the other party asked such a teasing question, and said, "I'm just curious."

As a result, Fang Nan was silent for a while, and then said: "... I don't remember."

Cheng Xi was taken aback for a moment.

Fang Nan said: "I don't remember many things about the past in China." He had a smile on his face, and it was difficult to tell the truth from what he said, "My memory has been getting worse and worse recently. , I almost don’t remember anything when I was still in China. It seems that the school I attended at that time was either No. [-] Middle School, No. [-] Middle School, or No. [-] Middle School..."

Cheng Xi was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't know whether what Fang Nan said was serious or just joking, whether it was No. [-] middle school, No. [-] middle school or No. [-] middle school. Could it be possible that he misremembered that it was No. [-] middle school, No. [-] middle school and No. [-] middle school?

But in any case, through these two sentences of dialogue, he was keenly aware that Fang Nan didn't like others asking about his private information, even if it was just the past in his early years.So Cheng Xi quickly changed the subject and stopped entangled in Fang Nan's personal affairs, but asked: "The hotel has been booked, just in front of Crescent Bay, Suo Dalunsi Star Hotel. The scenery there is very beautiful Well, I think it will make Teacher Fang have a good time for you."

"The crew is still filming, so it will take some time before the first version of the sample will appear. Director Xie means that Mr. Fang, you can join the crew in the post-editing stage, but if you want to visit the filming process now, we are very welcome. "Cheng Xi's expression was cheerful and sincere, and he said with a slight smile, "Although I don't know how to compose and write lyrics, I also think that if I can get in touch with the crew more deeply and understand the actors and the shooting process, the teacher's creation will be helpful. help."

Fang Nan nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I will remember to go to the set for a couple of laps—maybe there will be some inspiration."

After hearing this, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something, reached out to pick up a bag placed under the passenger seat, took out a folder from it, handed it to Fang Nan, and said, "By the way, this is The script. Teacher Fang, please put it away."

Fang Nan reached out to take it, turned to the first page, and saw the title on the cover.

"I used to love you like life".

Jia Luo sat next to Fang Nan, but he also stretched out his head to look, and then read out those eight characters.

"Strange topic," he commented.

Fang Nan smiled and did not make any comments on this.He closed the outer page of the folder again and said, "I'll read it after I get to the hotel."

Cheng Xi replied: "Okay." Then he paused and said, "Originally, Director Xie planned to hold a reception banquet for you after you arrived, and by the way, I would also like to introduce you to the current main actors and jobs of the crew. However, considering that you just got off the plane, you might prefer to take a good rest, so the welcome banquet has been moved to tomorrow."

"Thank you Director for your thoughtfulness." Fang Nan listened, and also smiled and agreed, "I don't feel tired, but I still have to thank him for his careful arrangements."

His gentle attitude and deep dark eyes made Cheng Xi somewhat at a loss as to how to answer.

Then he suddenly found that Fang Nan's gaze froze in a certain direction.

Cheng Xi followed the other party's line of sight, and saw a huge billboard passing through the car window.

It was a series of very conspicuous billboards. On the billboards appeared two extremely elite male stars. One was tall and straight, with a cold expression, and was dressed in a black suit; while the other was thin and handsome, He was wearing a silver-gray tuxedo.

They complement each other into brilliance.

Cheng Xi looked at Fang Nan's sudden silence and frozen eyes, and thought that Fang Nan was interested in this advertisement, so he said, "This is the new product of 'Mendaz' this season, and it is specially launched in the Eastern market. As you know, the physiques of the Eastern and Western races are different, so the suitable styles and fits are also different..."

But Fang Nan asked: "The two in the advertisement... Are they models? Or movie stars?"

Cheng Xi was taken aback for a moment before answering: "Mr. Fang, don't you know him? The one on the left of the two models should have been a famous singer six or seven years ago, but now he is an Antarctic singer." The head of the Light Entertainment Group——Chu Xiting King Chu."

"...What about the one on the right?"

Although Cheng Xi didn't know why Fang Nan asked about the model on the billboard, he still answered: "That one is a newcomer under Nanjiguang who has just debuted for two years, and his name is Cao Mai."

After Fang Nan heard the name, she smiled softly.

Cheng Xi was a little strange, and asked, "Teacher Fang is interested in him? But he's just an actor, not a singer." But he paused, and continued, "However, Director Xie and Nanjiguang still have a lot of work. If Mr. Fang wants to get to know Cao Mai, Director Xie should be able to help introduce him."

"Thank you." Fang Nan said, "But there is no need. I just think he is a bit like someone I used to know."
