Chapter 429: Chapter 252 After the New Year, Suddenly Beca Viral, in the Midst of Making Plans for Poaching_3
Xu Qingyan was oblivious to what was happening until six or seven days after the New Year had passed.
In the morning, it was still the usual hustle and bustle of daily work.
The director’s team had created a special project group for the Qin Opera “painted-face” actors to research and discuss how to design the General’s face paint. By coincidence, Xu Qingyan was also pulled into it to study and learn together.
He had been following the work on the actor’s costu, make-up, and props for the past couple of days, not only having to learn on the job but also to provide constructive feedback. After toiling for two nights and days, he was considerably worn out but finally understood the intricacies involved.
In this state, the dance director, Xiao Shujun, suddenly sent him an inexplicable ssage.
“Xu Qingyan, you’ve beco famous.”
His first reaction was a shock, secretly fearing that sothing had been exposed. The ti he took action, he rembered there were no caras around, and wondered if Xiao Shujun hadn’t taken care of the aftermath at all.
But then he thought it seed unlikely, judging by her tone, it seed like it was so good news.
“Famous?”
Silently, a voice ssage ca through.
“Yes, the three songs you wrote, “Blue and White Porcelain,” “Wind’s Rising,” and “Big Fish,” are being hotly contested between Xiangnan Station and Jing Station.” Xiao Shujun sounded sowhat displeased, “Why didn’t you ever ntion it?”
“No, Sister Jun.” Xu Qingyan also sent a voice ssage, “I’m just a songwriter, how would I know which song will beco a hit? It’s not like I can write one and then shout it from a gaphone to the whole world.”
On the phone, Xiao Shujun almost found his words reasonable upon hearing them.
“You sly one, which of your songs hasn’t been a hit?”
“There is one, have you heard of “Love in the Rain”?” Xu Qingyan replied swiftly.
“No, did you write it?”
“Yeah.”
Xiao Shujun: “……”
For a mont, she didn’t know what to say; his sophistry was truly abundant. If she wasn’t careful, she’d find herself trapped by his argunts. Just because she hadn’t heard of “Love in the Rain” didn’t an it wasn’t popular, just not popular enough.
“Sister Jun, what do you an by ‘hotly contested’?”
“The hype, don’t you go online yourself? Jing Station and Xiangnan Station are each promoting their New Year’s Eve songs.” Xiao Shujun was rather speechless, “And in doing so, they’ve managed to push the three songs you wrote to the top.”
“Ah?” Xu Qingyan was baffled, “I’ve been pulling all-nighters these past few days, so I’ve had little spare ti.”
He didn’t even have the ti to reply to the little diva’s ssages, let alone browse the net!
Xu Qingyan had never been this tense, even during college entrance exams, absorbing everything like a sponge, insisting on learning while working, believing the world was a huge, makeshift band and with enough courage, one could venture to any extre.
After two or three days of nocturnal suffering, he finally managed to scrape by. Not only did he get to grips with the Qin Opera costu and make-up, but he also offered two groundbreaking suggestions, leaving no one suspecting that he was a novice just two days prior.
The world is like that; if you dare to take the plunge, you’ll find that everyone’s level is more or less the sa. Of course, this only applies to specific circumstances. If it’s about technology… or coding for that matter, then even a skilled woman can’t cook without rice, as there’s no cramming possible.
“Anyway, just know this is good news for you, and I estimate in a couple of days you will get an opportunity for an exclusive interview.” Xiao Shujun said, “The main station is working on promotions, but even if it’s fild, it’s not certain it will be aired.”
“Alright, I’ve got it.” Xu Qingyan didn’t react much.
Xiao Shujun knew what he was thinking; he probably felt that an interview was neither here nor there, not as good as so tangible benefits.
“With your qualifications, there’s no need to worry about finding soone to be your director as we talked about before.” Xiao Shujun replied, “In three or four days, after the big rehearsal, I’ll send you a ssage.”
“Have you finished the script?” she asked.
Xu Qingyan had only written a bit, he answered.
“It’s all finished.”
