The news of Su Yu investing in Zhao Xiaolu’s film spread throughout Tianxing Entertainment the next day.
While the stars, artists, and directors of the Film and Television Department felt that Su Yu was young and reckless, they also marveled at Zhao Xiaolu’s luck!
She only helped Su Yu shoot a few music videos, and she was able to get a fifty-million investment?
If they had known there was such a good opportunity, they would have shamelessly fought for it.
Furthermore, the male and female leads, Liu Ruyan and Li Enjun, were directly cast even before the film was officially approved, which made the directors in the Film and Television Department extremely envious.
Especially Hao Ren, the director who had been snubbed by Su Yu.
He was interested in the story of “jiu er” that Su Yu told and wanted to turn it into a film, but what happened?
Su Yu actually told him to write the script himself?
This made Hao Ren, a prominent director at Tianxing Entertainment, feel very embarrassed.
In Su Yu’s eyes, was he not even as good as an unknown, transparent director?
No matter what, he had put his heart and soul into directing lost in thailand; if not for his achievements, at least for his hard work!
Another person who felt offended was Ren Nanbei, the General Director of the Film and Television Department.
Because Zhao Xiaolu’s script was personally rejected by him.
Now, it was actually picked up by Su Yu, and he even planned to invest the full fifty million?
Ren Nanbei almost laughed in anger after hearing this news.
In music, novels, and even screenwriting, he felt that Su Yu was an authority.
But when it came to selecting scripts for approval, he, Ren Nanbei, was the authority, wasn’t he?
His many years of experience as the General Director of the Film and Television Department meant he rarely misjudged!
If beautiful fate had potential, he would have approved it long ago; would he have waited until Su Yu came along?
However, Ren Nanbei had no way to deal with this.
He knew that if Han Jianhua hadn’t suddenly decided to invest in this film, Su Yu would have fully funded it himself!
Even if it ended up losing money, it would have nothing to do with the Film and Television Department.
This was too willful!
But then, thinking about Su Yu’s various identities and how much wealth he had likely accumulated during this period, Ren Nanbei could only offer a bitter self-mockery.
Su Yu wasn’t afraid of investment failure! He didn’t even have any performance pressure!
On this day, when Zhao Xiaolu was shooting the music video, her state was noticeably more vibrant.
Because the company had also approached her, even arranging a free film crew for her.
As soon as she finished Su Yu’s music video work, she could immediately go prepare for the film!
This led to the final part of the fourth music video being completed in less than one morning.
And what she had to do next was to perfectly edit all four music videos before the first of the month.
However, this workload was no longer significant, thanks to her editing the day’s filmed content every day after returning homecoming from shooting!
Zhao Xiaolu believed that she could finish all the music videos in two days at the latest.
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to her deep dark circles under her eyes at this moment.
The script submission for review was handled by Tianxing Entertainment, which was the fastest way to do it.
Before Su Yu left Yanjing for Jinling on Friday, the script had already been approved, and the film was successfully greenlit.
Eighty percent of the fifty million he promised to invest had also been transferred to the company’s designated account.
Such speed and efficiency made Zhao Xiaolu feel as if she were in a dream.
And what she had to do in the next two months was to produce this film with high quality and standards.
She absolutely could not let the people in the Film and Television Department laugh at Teacher Su Yu! She wanted those people to see how good Teacher Su Yu’s vision truly was!
Su Yu and Han Jiangxue had a secret rehearsal on Friday evening.
Heaven knows what turmoil Director Qian felt after watching the rehearsal!
Director Qian had seen the rehearsals of Kong Jing, Xie Jie, and Zhang Xiaohan’s three groups before, and while he felt the same shock, it just didn’t have the powerful impact of Su Yu and Han Jiangxue’s recent stage performance.
And what was Han Jiangxue’s recent explosive performance? Was that a roar? It was too beautiful!
Coupled with the lyrics that seemed like poetry, Director Qian felt that in the first round of the guest collaboration, Wu Anjun was invincible.
Subsequently, Su Yu sang the song for his solo segment, and the result was that Director Qian, this middle-aged man, was directly hyped up.
A royal flush! Director Qian felt that both of Su Yu’s songs this time were god-tier hits of royal flush level!
“Teacher Su Yu, please also prepare a third song. If Teacher Su Yu wins The King of Singers, we hope you can complete the glorious unmasking when performing the third song!”
Director Qian spoke very subtly.
He felt that with these two songs from Su Yu, plus Wu Anjun’s original high popularity and buzz, it would be difficult to lose the finals!
Of course, if there were unexpected events or major mistakes, that would be another matter.
In fact, Xie Jie, Kong Jing, and Xiao Jingyu were all asked to prepare a third song, as the votes were always real, and this had been the case from beginning to end.
Director Qian could secretly arrange the singers’ performance order for ratings and to make the variety show more entertaining.
But changing the singers’ votes was a matter of principle and bottom line; he would not do it.
“It’s already prepared, but we won’t rehearse today; let’s keep it a surprise.” Su Yu smiled and did not sing the third song.
“OK! I still trust Teacher Su Yu’s ability! Uh, Teacher Su Yu, can I discuss something with you?”
Director Qian was acting like a General Director one second and then became shy the next.
“Ahem, Director Qian, just say what you need; if I can do it, I’ll agree.”
Su Yu felt a chill, because Director Qian’s demeanor clearly showed he was up to no good.
“This is the proposal for my new variety show; would you like to take a look?”
As he spoke, Director Qian pulled out a document bag from behind him.
As expected, Director Qian had tasted success with Who is the Singer.
That’s why he planned to continue inviting Su Yu to participate in his new variety show.
“I don’t think I’ll participate in any more song competition variety shows.” Su Yu frowned and stated his true thoughts.
In Su Yu’s opinion, participating in Who is the Singer was already enough!
Participating in too many such variety shows would not bring him much benefit.
Moreover, the variety shows’ timelines were too long, often two or three months, and Su Yu was actually a bit tired of flying back and forth every week.
“This time, it’s not for you to sing on stage, but for you to write songs as an Ace Composer for singers to perform! We plan to invite well-known gold and even Ace Composers in the industry. Each episode, netizens will vote on the song genre, and then the composers will randomly select singers to collaborate on creating songs! Moreover, this time there will be no live audience voting; instead, it will be a real competition based on download volume! The winner will be decided based on the song’s performance one week after its release!”
Listening to Director Qian describe this variety show proposal, which seemed very familiar yet was completely altered and full of tension, Su Yu was genuinely a little tempted.
“As long as Teacher Su Yu agrees to come, other composers will flock to us! Even Lin Feng and Chu Ming might come! How about it? Teacher Su Yu, don’t you want to truly compete with them?”
How clever Director Qian was! Seeing Su Yu’s slight inclination, he immediately increased his “seduction” efforts.
