Although Song Ci had only been on the set of "Black and White" for a week, he got along well with several of the main actors.
Everyone works together, and even if they look up or down, they will greet each other with smiles.
Therefore, several main actors helped Song Ci to repost the promotional Weibo of "Thieves of Time".
Fans of Song Ci have quite a few unexpected friends in Song Ci.
"Do Song Ci and Zheng Muyan still know each other?"
"I see, these are all from the crew of "Black and White", right? There is a Reuters online saying that they are filming in Qingcheng!"
"I heard that the role played by Song Ci this time is very cool!"
"How awesome is he? No matter how awesome he is, he is still the supporting role of our old Gong."
Song Ci was lying on the bed. When the new song was released, he checked the reviews for a while, especially giving likes to some of the good reviews.
The Rainbow Girl Group has been recording programs at Shangjing Channel for the past two days. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when everyone ended the recording. Li Siyu and his teammates were all sitting in the bus.
Then everyone started talking about the song "Thieves of Time".
"Xiao Yu, your personality is really getting better and better. This year, you first had the popular variety show "The World", and now you are singing his new song with Song Ci. Your upward momentum is really unstoppable. ah."
"Yes, Xiaoyu, won't we all be worthy of being teammates in another two months?"
"Xiao Yu, please slow down a little, don't run so fast, leave a little space for us, let us look up at you, okay?"
The teammates were talking loudly and sounded like they were carrying guns and sticks.
Li Siyu was not a fool. She looked at everyone calmly and said, "Everyone's personal qualifications are earned through their own efforts."
In fact, when the Rainbow Girl Group was first formed, the atmosphere within the group was still very good.
Because at that time, the seven girls all had the same goal, which was to become popular, become popular, and become a first-line girl group.
But now as the Rainbow Girl Group becomes more and more popular in domestic entertainment, several people naturally have different ideas.
After all, if the 7 members of the Rainbow Girl Group come out to announce together, the money they get will be divided equally among the 7 members.
But if you go out alone to make announcements, the money you earn is yours.
Human nature is like this, even the best sisters cannot withstand the beating of reality.
Li Siyu and Song Ci sang about the Thief of Time, which was quickly picked up by Orange Blossom's senior management.
Several people in charge, headed by Wu Shichuan, were very dissatisfied with this and directly went to Li Siyu and her agent to hold a video conference.
Wu Shichuan said sternly: "Xiao Yu, it's not that the company doesn't support you, haven't we already communicated the issues with you before? It's an extraordinary period recently, and the seven people in your group must advance and retreat together, otherwise At that time, public opinion was not good-looking.”
"Yes, you are also the ace girl group of our company. If I remember correctly, your contract should not expire for another three years. It's still a long time, so don't think about something that you have or don't have, okay? Let's all work together Work hard, for the Rainbow Girl Group, for the company, and of course for yourself to work hard to make money."
"Xiao Yu, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future! The seven members of the Rainbow Girl Group must advance and retreat together. If anyone wants to go solo, I will be the first to disagree."
Li Siyu listened carefully to the leaders' speeches, but felt very disdainful in his heart.
There is a reason why she is so keen to sing the song Thief of Time with Song Ci.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
It’s because this song was written with Song lyrics.
As for things like going solo and wanting to become more popular, she has never thought about it.
But even though she didn't have such thoughts herself, in the eyes of others, her actions meant she wanted to go solo.
After hanging up the video of the leaders, the manager also said earnestly:
"We are all workers. You should not reveal your inner thoughts too quickly. The capital you have now is too little. Only when you really have enough say will you be willful enough. Qualifications, do you know?”
Li Siyu's personal manager is a big sister in her 30s. She has been in the industry for many years. She has met countless little girls like Li Siyu. She was complacent and arrogant after she just debuted and achieved some results, but very soon. Soon everyone was gone.
Li Siyu took the agent's sister's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, I know. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
The manager's index finger tapped the center of her eyebrows, directly piercing Li Siyu:
"Actually, I know that in your heart you just want to sing with Song Ci, right? Look at how you are losing money. I tell you, when it comes to relationships between men and women, girls must be more reserved. You are so rushed. He won't cherish you if you get close to him. You have to have a sense of propriety. Tease him, let him fall in love with you, pursue you, and then get what you ask for, and give him a little sweetness occasionally. Only in this way will he cherish you."
The manager talked for a long time, and Li Siyu was stunned by the appearance of this person.
On the other side, after hanging up the phone from Li Siyu, the faces of several Orange Blossom managers in the office were not very pretty.
Wu Shichuan was the first to speak: "Let's talk, everyone, what should we do with this Song Ci now? His popularity is getting higher and higher, tmd I get angry when I look at this kid now. It's all money, but it has nothing to do with us. .”
"How about we join forces with several other companies to ban Song Ci?"
"How is this possible? Other companies are not fools. If we really dare to do this, wouldn't this be pushing Song Ci to the other company?"
"Actually, it's not a big problem. Judging from Song Ci's current actions, he probably wants to set up a studio of his own, free from the constraints of entertainment capital. In fact, this is the best way for us to handle him. After all, he is alone. , What kind of waves can his small studio create? Time will come to us in the future, and we can manipulate him at will."
At this time, Zhou Shu, Song Ci’s nominal manager at Orange Blossom, was also called into the conference room:
"Dear leaders, judging from my recent exchanges with Song Ci in the past few days, this person's ambitions should be quite big. He should want to make a big name in the industry."
Everyone suddenly sneered and said: "Every year, so many capitals want to squeeze into the entertainment industry to get a share of the pie, but in the end, among the 3 billion people in our country, there are only a dozen or twenty first-tier entertainment companies that are famous. not that simple."
"I am especially looking forward to the day when Song Ci Studio is established. I will have many ways to deal with him then."
Of course Song Ci didn't know at this moment that her studio had just opened and was on the right track when it was already being targeted by the senior executives of Orange Blossom Entertainment.
During this time, he continued to film on the set of "Black and White."
When he has nothing to do at night, he will write "The Storm of the Two Song Dynasties" with his laptop next to him. He has written more than 100,000 words so far.
The weather was nice and cool tonight. After Song Ci finished his filming mission, he did not leave the set for the time being and started typing in the lounge next to him.
Liao Jie brought the lunch box to Song Ci: "Boss, I think many people on the Internet are looking forward to your book. Now I see that you have written so much, but you haven't published it online yet?"
Song Ci said: "I have made an agreement with Xidu Publishing House to publish a physical book and will not publish it online. However, if we follow the contract, two weeks after the physical book is published, its electronic copyright will be released. When it comes out, I can consider putting it on some websites to increase its influence."
The two were chatting and laughing when Director Lu Song also walked in silently.
A few days ago, he knew that Song Ci was writing about the so-called storm of the two Song Dynasties.
But he never had a chance to see the specific content.
Yesterday, he took the time to browse the tens of thousands of Song Ci poems published in Huaxia Online.
I was immediately shocked.
After the filming ended today, he came to see Song Ci specifically and wanted to talk about Song Ci's story.
"Director Lu, have you had dinner?" Seeing Lu Song coming here, he moved a stool over to Lu Song with great insight and asked.
Lu Song waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry for dinner, Song Ci. I'm actually looking for you today to talk about "The Storm of Two Song Dynasties" with you."
"Ah? You still know about my book?" Lu Song's words surprised Song Ci.
Lu Song's head moved closer to Song Ci's notebook, and his eyes fell on the line of words Song Ci had just typed:
"I read the more than 70,000 words you published online, and I can see... you have a big plan! I think your pursuit is not just about describing one or two stories about the emperor and his courtiers! You should be I want to describe an era, in this changing era, facing the turbulence of the years, countless people... what choices they will make."
Lu Song's eloquent talk shocked even Song Ci.
He raised his thumb at Lu Song: "Director Lu, you are really my confidant."
Lu Song stood up laughing, patted Song Ci on the shoulder and said: "You are writing now, right? Then I have one request. After you finish writing this book, can you let me take a look at it as soon as possible? ?”
Song Ci also laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have no problem meeting your needs. You can even give me some advice when the time comes."
"When your physical book comes out, I will have to buy hundreds of copies to give away, and I will also collect them!"
At this time, Lu Song's phone rang: "Hey Sun, what are you doing? Why did you remember to call me?"
"What? How long does it take you, old boy? Three days is not enough, three days is too long! Let me think about it, it only takes three hours to fly from here to Beijing... Okay, let me ask Song Ci, I’ll give you a day and a half at most.”
This call came from Director Sun Dachuan.
He knew that Song Ci was on the set of "Black and White", but the premiere of "Shanhaiguan" was about to start in three days.
Director Sun Dachuan wanted Song Ci to go over and sing the theme song live.
He originally wanted Lu Song to give Song Ci three days off and let Song Ci sing.
But within three days, Lu Song would definitely not agree.
So he communicated his ideas with Lu Song, and finally decided that Song Ci would take one and a half days.
After singing at the premiere of "Shanhaiguan" that afternoon, Song Ci flew back immediately, so it was okay as long as the filming on the second day was not delayed.
Song Ci said: "That's what we have agreed on, Director Lu. Thank you for letting me go."
Lu Song gently held Song Ci's shoulders, with no expression on his face:
"If it were someone else like this, I would definitely not let him go. But what you said... one is that I have a good relationship with Lao Sun, and the second one is that you have been very good at shooting recently, so you actually saved us a lot of money. Less time.”
"It must be Director Lu who directs the play well, so I can get into the role so quickly."
"Okay, stop praising me. I can still distinguish between a good actor and an average actor! Let me tell you that I met the most terrible actor in the past two years. Do you know what happened? I was I performed it three times for him, but he still looked confused."
So after Song Ci filmed with the crew for another two days, he was ready to pack up and leave for Shangjing to attend the premiere of "Shanhaiguan".
This scene fell into the eyes of the male lead Gong Yusheng, and his eyes looked very dissatisfied.
He folded his hands in front of his chest and said to Si Kou Xue: "Does Director Lu have a little double standard? When I asked him for leave last month, he refused to agree. How long has it been since Song Ci came here? He left the group again! He made so many people wait for him again, right?"
Si Kou Xue looked at the backs of Song Ci and his assistant, shook her head gently and said:
"I can't answer what you said... I'm not a roundworm in the director's stomach, but I have asked for leave once, and the director also agreed. If you haven't been approved, it must be yours. The reason is not sufficient.”
Gong Yusheng's face became even more ugly:
"Fart, I think this is a double standard! Xiaoxue, there are only two of us here now, and we are all old classmates. Tell me, I won't ask you about Song Shi and I's acting skills. Just talk about the two of us. Who is more popular?"
Si Kou Xue couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard this and said:
"Of course it's because of your popularity. You have 30 million Weibo followers, while Song Ci only has over 5 million."
"Hey, you even know that Song Ci has more than 5 million fans on Weibo. You care about Song Ci so much. Do you have a crush on him?"
Si Kouxue kicked Gong Yusheng's calf: "You are really brainless sometimes."
…
Song Ci and his assistant quickly landed in Shangjing by plane.
A special car sent by the crew of "Shanhaiguan" took Song Ci directly to the premiere ceremony.
Generally speaking, only movies have so-called premieres.
However, the drama "Shanhaiguan" has been officially scheduled for prime time on CCTV.
So the standards of this premiere ceremony are quite high.
It was performed at a local theater.
And at the premiere, in addition to the main creators of the crew, there should be more than a hundred media present.
I even heard that a deputy director of CCTV would also be present.
The standards of the entire premiere were actually very high.
So a week ago, when director Sun Dachuan called Song Ci and asked him if he could come to the premiere.
Of course Song Ci wanted to participate very much.
But he was still limited by the work of the Black and White crew, so he told director Sun Dachuan to see if he could contact director Lu Song and ask him to come to the premiere.
Wei Weijiang, Song Ci's old classmate, was already standing at the door with a smile on his face. When he saw Song Ci, he immediately walked over with a smile: "My brother, your clothes are a bit too casual today, hurry up and get there." Go backstage and change into a suit."
Song Ci's face was full of apologies: "I came in a hurry. I've prepared my formal clothes. I'll change right away."
Song Ci changed into a black suit, and Liao Jie tied his tie carefully, her face a little red: "Boss, you are so handsome."
Song Ci said: "You girl, don't boast. This scene today is a bit big. This is my first time experiencing it."
Liao Jie pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at your ignorant look. I've seen this kind of scene many times before."
Song Ci couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
At this time, Wei Weijiang waved to Song Ci from a distance.
Several actors were already surrounding him, including director Sun Dachuan.
It seems that he should be the main creator of the drama "Shanhaiguan".
Song Ci hurriedly greeted him, and Wei Weijiang took Song Ci to introduce him to several actors.
Shanhaiguan is a patriotic TV series with ancient themes.
Its starring name is Wu Hao, who is a tough guy.
Wu Hao has been filming martial arts scenes for so many years.
Overall, it was an achievement.
However, actors in this genre are basically called capable actors, and it is usually difficult to see how popular they are.
Song Ci shook hands with Wu Hao seriously and said, "Teacher Wu, I especially like your movie "The Fist of the Dragon and the Tiger. Your martial arts scene in it was so cool, it really touched my heart."
Song Ci is not stingy with its words of praise.
Wu Hao is almost 40 this year. He smiled and a little wrinkle could be seen in the corner of his eyes:
"My daughter really likes to listen to your songs. She has been giving me your music every day recently, and I have almost been brainwashed. You must work hard to write more good music for all of us to listen to."
Several other main actors also exchanged pleasantries with Song Ci.
Sun Dachuan put his arm around Song Ci's shoulders, with a vague smile on his face: "You don't know, right? Our teacher Song Ci is very popular now. Recently, he is cooperating with Director Lu Song on a new play. I heard He’s still male number 2, right?”
Song Ci smiled sheepishly, but others praised him.
Wu Hao said: "Director Lu Song has very high requirements. I never thought that Song Ci's acting skills could conquer Director Lu Song. I admire him."
"I always thought Teacher Song Ci was just a singer, but I never expected to be able to act! Being able to be the second male lead directed by Lu Song, compared to Teacher Song's acting skills, it must be remarkable. When the movie is released, I will definitely Go and see.”
"Wow! Teacher Song Ci is so amazing. I have never worked with Director Lu. If you have a chance, could you introduce me to Director Lu Song?"
"You kid, do you think that I, Sun Dachuan, am dead? Are you saying that you want to cooperate with Lu Song in front of me?"
Everyone burst out laughing, and there was a happy atmosphere here
The premiere ceremony began soon.
The host has already started the warm-up session on the stage.
Song Ci and the actors stood beside the stage waiting to appear at any time.
But as a singer who sings the theme song, he is here to be a green leaf today.
The main creators were all standing on the stage at this moment, and the media began to question the issue with both guns and sticks.
Some asked about the plot, some asked about how it felt during filming, and some asked what everyone’s expectations were for the ratings.
Soon, today's special guest, the deputy director of CCTV, also arrived.
After he made a speech on stage, nearly an hour had passed since the premiere.
Finally, under the host's loud call, Song Ci stood on the stage, and the audience suddenly burst into warm applause.
The reporters seemed quite excited about Song Ci's presence.
The music of "Serve the Country with Loyalty" has started to play.
Song Ci held up the microphone and spoke: "Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost, and the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River..."
The reporters held up their cameras and took pictures of Song Ci, and they all praised her.
"Wow, this theme song is very nice."
"I didn't expect that Song Ci's performance was so dedicated! I feel like I could have participated in a singing competition."
"Wow, this song is so explosive! I didn't expect it to be sung by Song Ci!"
"If I remember correctly, Song Ci was composed entirely of his own lyrics and music, right? He is indeed an all-rounder."
After singing the song lyrics, there was warm applause from both the stage and the audience.
At this time, he stood on the stage with the main creators, facing the media's continued questioning.
Then a reporter asked Song Ci, what do you think of the TV series "Shanhaiguan"?
Song Ci held up the microphone and answered honestly that he probably only knew that it was a patriotic TV series, but in fact he had never even read the script.
This very honest answer immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Sun Dachuan also smoothed things over for Song Ci and said:
"Indeed... I have never shown our script to Song Ci. I don't know if you know that there is a joke on the Internet that there are 5 difficult problems on the Galaxy website that no musician has been able to solve for a long time."
Wu Hao immediately answered: "One of them is the theme song of our "Shanhaiguan", right?"
Sun Dachuan: "Yes, so you may not know how much the song Song Ci fits our plot! But as long as you watch our TV series, you will definitely know that this song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" belongs to us in Shanhaiguan It’s from a TV series! This song was born for our TV series.”
The entire premiere lasted for more than two hours.
It was almost 6:00 in the evening when it ended.
Sun Dachuan and others took Song Ci and made sure to let Song Ci have dinner with everyone.
But Song Ci had no choice. He had to rush back to the crew, so he had no choice but to refuse everyone's dinner invitation.
"Director Sun, teachers, I'm really sorry. Time is too tight. If there is a chance next time, we must have a good get-together."
So Song Ci flew back to the Black and White crew overnight.
On the second day, I continued to devote myself to the filming of this drama, without delaying the progress of the crew at all.
The time soon came to the end of August.
The crew had already arrived in a small town in Qingzhou for filming.
After the filming ended that day, Song Ci was stopped by Sikouxue: "Old Song, an old classmate of ours is coming to visit the class tonight. Why don't you come and have a meal together."
Song Ci frowned and asked, "Old classmate? Which old classmate is coming to visit the class? I don't even know."
Shi Si Kou Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Our old classmates, think about who else is there? And they can come to visit the class."
The figure of Tang poetry suddenly appeared in Song Ci's mind.
In the evening, Song Ci followed Sikouxue to a private restaurant, and as expected, the other party was Tang Shi.
Tang Shi wore a bun, a sky blue jacket, and a pair of off-white jeans. Her legs looked long and straight, and she looked particularly good-looking.
Tang Shi and Si Kouxue hugged each other excitedly, and then she set her sights on Song Ci: "We haven't seen each other for a few weeks, why do I feel that you have gone through a lot of vicissitudes?"
Song Ci said: "My appearance is just for our drama. Please don't slander me."
Si Kouxue sat down while pulling Tang Shi: "Come on, let's start eating quickly, we are very hungry."
Song Ci took a bite of the food and then asked, "Why didn't you call Lao Gong here today? Aren't we all old classmates?"
Si Kouxue glanced at Song Ci and explained lightly: "If he has something to do, he won't come to get together with us."
Tang Shi said seriously: "I'm here to see Xiaoxue, and I'm just asking you to have dinner by the way, you know."
Song Ci chuckled and didn't care about Tang Shi's words at all, and started eating.
The three of them chatted about interesting things about filming while eating.
About half an hour later, Si Kou Xue said to go to the toilet. Only Song Ci and Tang Shi were left here.
Tang Shi took a deep breath and asked, "Director Lu Song has very strict requirements. You won't be scolded by Director Lu often on the set, right?"
Song Ci chuckled: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Director Lu Song and I cooperate quite well. If you don't believe Si Kou Xue will come back later, you can ask her."
At this time, Tang Shi took out a gift box from his bag and handed it to Song Ci: "I brought you a gift."
Song Ci put it away, played with it twice, and said thank you. But I didn’t open the gift directly.
Tang Shi said it wasn't anything valuable, I just bought it for you while passing by.
It was quite a pleasant meal.
But Tang Shi just passed by here on the way to catch the announcement.
So after finishing her meal, she hurried to the high-speed rail station to take the high-speed rail.
Song Ci continued filming the next day.
The scene to be filmed today is quite special. It is a scene specially designed by Lu Song for Song Ci.
This was designed by Lu Song with reference to the previous scene where Song Ci smoked backwards during the audition in front of him.
He felt that this scene was so good that it must be captured in the official shots of the movie.
So today I designed a separate scene for Song Ci... an inner monologue scene where he stays at home alone.
At this time, the character played by Song Ci has actually committed a murder case.
Moreover, he has been interrogated by the police several times, but no trace of himself has been revealed.
So at this time, there is a trace of fear in the heart of this character. It is the fear of being discovered by the police, but more of it is a kind of self-confidence and confidence in the awesomeness of his own skills.
At this moment, there is no light on in the room.
Song Ci paced back and forth in the room alone.
Then he took out the cigarette, turned it over, pulled out the filter, and lit the cigarette directly.
He squinted his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, with a hint of enjoyment flashing across his face.
With such a short performance, Song Ci lasted for more than a minute.
There were more than 10 staff at the scene, including Sikou Xue, Gong Yusheng and others who were watching Song Ci's performance. Everyone looked at Song Ci in silence.
Everyone's face had an expression of... shock at being frightened by Song Ci.
It's as if Song Ci is not an actor.
The murderer named Lao Liu standing in front of everyone at this moment is as if he is really alive in front of everyone.
Liao Jie stood at the back of the crowd.
Her pupils were also trembling slightly.
Song Ci at this moment was not her amiable boss at all.
Song Ci at this moment seems to be a character wandering in a dark corner, a murderer hiding in the opposite corner of human nature.
There was no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed incomparable ferocity, a kind of indifference towards human life.
Gong Yu watched Song Ci's performance intently.
His mouth was slightly open, and his lips trembled slightly.
He was imagining how he would handle the performance of Song Ci...
Putting aside everything else, Song Ci's reverse smoking operation really showed him off.
Sikouxue shook her head slightly. She was also shocked by Song Ci's performance.
This extremely natural performance, like flowing water on a small bridge, can be said to be deeply imprinted in her mind, and it will be unforgettable for her many years later.
"Okay, cut!" With the voice of Director Lu Song, the frozen atmosphere of the scene was finally pierced by this voice, and the stiff expressions on everyone's faces were released at this moment.
Song Ci rubbed his face.
I don’t know who applauded at the scene.
Then there was a series of applause.
"Awesome, Teacher Song Ci, your performance really scared me."
"Teacher Song Ci, just tell me the truth. You don't really want to hide anything from everyone, do you? Hahahaha."
"Oh my god, the reverse smoking operation designed by the teacher is really amazing. It immediately established the image of Lao Liu as a villain. It's really awesome."
"Brothers, I still have goosebumps all over my body. I'm really shaking all over."
Lu Song also raised two thumbs up at Song Ci, his eyes full of approval.
