Chapter 76: I've Taken the Wrong Path
Chapter 76: I've Taken the Wrong Path
Watching Gu Yi's departing figure,
Meng Ziyi was in a great mood. She kept praising herself in her heart, and then skipped and hopped all the way back to her seat.
Chen Duling and Li Yitong, who were standing beside them, watched the whole thing.
What's wrong with you?
"Did you find some money? You're smiling so happily."
Li Yitong joked with a smile.
Meng Ziyi's smile was impossible to hide.
"I'm happier than if I found money."
"Details?"
Dudu immediately pressed for more details.
Meng Ziyi got straight to the point.
"Gu Yi promised to help me get an audition for a TV series."
Li Yitong paused for a moment, then frowned.
"Did he tell you on his own initiative?"
I'm not afraid of my sisters doing well.
I'm afraid my sisters will do better than me.
"No, I volunteered."
Meng Ziyi was a little shy.
Li Yitong had a headache after hearing that.
A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. So here's the question: Sister Meng has both a beautiful appearance and an interesting soul.
What can she do?
We can only spoil them!
Li Yitong sighed helplessly.
"My goodness, Sister Meng! You're overthinking it! There are so many female celebrities in the entertainment industry; their own companies don't even have enough resources for them, how could they possibly leave any for you!"
"Yes, and fiber optic resources aren't easy to obtain. He was probably just giving you a perfunctory answer."
Dudu also didn't think much of it and kindly reminded her in a low voice.
"And since you took the initiative to come to him, he's bound to overthink things. If he's lusting after you, he might give you the opportunity to sleep with you."
Meng Ziyi, however, looked completely indifferent.
"It's okay. If I pass the audition, I'll hire a bodyguard when I join the crew. If he dares to come up to me, I'll kick him."
Seeing her innocent and confident expression, Chen Duling and Li Yitong both shook their heads helplessly and said nothing more.
"Hmph, I promised to owe him a favor. I'll have to figure out how to pay him back after this becomes a hot topic," Sister Meng muttered to herself.
Actually, she wasn't stupid, but the opportunity was rare, and Gu Yi had donated so much money; he didn't seem like a bad person at all.
It can only be said that she still wants things to be simple.
Often, the difference between great good and great evil lies in a single thought.
-----------------
At the same time, a report titled "Gu Yi looks back at the stage of the annual male god award, regrets leaving but his ambition cannot be hidden" suddenly appeared on Weibo.
Gu Yi had already arrived in M space.
This is a small, independent performance and live streaming venue, completely separated from the Weibo Night venue.
The entire venue is 2,400 square meters with a ceiling height of 10 meters. There are no pillars obstructing the view inside.
The central stage is 17 meters long, 8 meters deep, and 1.5 meters above the ground. Lighting, LEDs, and sound equipment are all in place.
The venue is equipped with 78 professional hoisting points, which can be used to set up a complete stage at any time. It also has dressing rooms, private dressing rooms and backstage access.
The venue can accommodate nearly 2000 spectators; using it for a personal live stream is really overkill.
When Li Xiang saw Gu Yi, he ran off the stage.
"I just received a call from Chris's agent. He's inviting you to his private villa."
"Did I hear that right?"
Gu Yi was stunned.
"No!"
"What's there for me to talk about with him?"
Li Xiang continued to add.
"He asked you to tailor-make a few new songs for him. After that, he'll help you get a partnership with LV as a brand ambassador."
Gu Yi scoffed.
"He's crazy, ignore him."
I also suggest refusing outright.
Li Xiang looked solemn.
"However, people in the industry say he is narrow-minded. If we don't give him face, he will probably take action to suppress us."
"Let's see how things go first. I'm not without support; he shouldn't be that brainless."
Gu Yi waved his hand.
He then walked to the center of the stage to test the microphone.
"Then you can do a simple rehearsal to adapt to the equipment first."
Li Xiang then changed the subject.
"Hello! Hello! Hello!"
Gu Yi raised his hand to test the microphone volume and began to give instructions.
"Let Xiaoxiao bring her fans over. It'll be a good opportunity for them to see a live performance up close, so their trip won't be in vain."
OK.
Li Xiang made a hand gesture.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao had just finished dinner with more than a dozen fans and even arranged vehicles to send everyone home.
Suddenly, she received a notification from Li Xiang that she could go to the venue to watch Gu Yi sing, and she immediately told everyone.
"Brother Yi said you can go to the live show to see him sing."
"Can we really go in?"
Lin Zhixia, who was feeling a bit tired, instantly perked up.
"Will this bother him?"
Some fans are worried.
"As long as you don't cause trouble, it's fine."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
"How lucky!"
"I thought the event was over for tonight."
"My best friend is also a fan of Gu Yi, and she's at the Weibo Night event. Can I ask her to come over?"
Lin Zhixia raised her hand to ask a question.
"Can."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
It's just one more person entering the venue, it's not a violation, and it's one of their own fans, so there's no need to be harsh on them.
-----------------
at the same time,
After receiving the "Weibo Director of the Year" award, Zhang Yimou returned to his seat, looked around but couldn't find Gu Yi, so he grabbed Wang Changtian instead.
"Mr. Wang, where is Gu Yiren?"
Wang Changtian turned around and saw that Gu Yi's seat in the second row was empty. He quickly took out his phone to make a call.
The call was quickly connected, and Gu Yi's voice came through.
"Mr. Wang, is there something you need?"
"Where did you go?"
Wang Changtian's tone carried a hint of helplessness.
"I'm going to prepare for the live stream."
"Director Zhang is looking for you."
"Mr. Wang, I have my own plans. You wouldn't want the movie 'Make a Name for Yourself' to have poor box office performance during the summer vacation, would you?"
"Okay, okay, is this how you want to play?"
Wang Changtian laughed in exasperation.
Zhang Yimou extended his hand.
"I'll talk to him."
Wang Changtian handed over the phone.
"Gu Yi, let's talk."
Gu Yi paused for a moment.
"Director Zhang, this really won't work."
"I want to know why you're so against adapting it into a movie? It's such a great story; it would be a waste not to make it."
Zhang Yimou is very serious.
"If it were made into a movie, maybe only tens of millions of people would see it. But if it were made into a short video, it could be seen by billions or even two billion people! And didn't you see the title is in English?"
Gu Yi countered with a question.
"Then why do you use English?"
"Because I can spread my message more effectively overseas using English, I want more than just my own fame."
Gu Yi explained.
"Aren't you afraid I won't approve of her playing the role?"
"I just wanted to find someone with a dance background to make it easier to film action sequences and opera scenes. Actually, it would be fine to find someone else."
"Sorry, I have something to do."
Zhang Yimou looked at his phone, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Mr. Wang, is this his usual attitude?"
"He's new to the industry and doesn't know any better."
Wang Changtian sighed helplessly.
Tell him, "I'll make short films too."
Zhang Yimou suddenly said.
"Should I try to persuade him again?"
Wang Changtian said.
"Need not."
Zhang Yimou shook his head.
"He's absolutely right."
"The more people see it, the better; I've narrowed my own path."
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll go talk to him."
Wang Changtian nodded.
