Xiao Yi simply remained silent, it seemed that Luzhou being obedient like this wasn’t without a reason, moreover following director Guo, there seemed to be a lot of things which can be learned, although most of them can’t be used, but listening to how he taught actors, how to interpret the script, was also very good.
Under the sky, director Guo spoke to Xiao Yi.
“Xiao Yi ya.” Director Guo asked, “when will your song be written.”
Xiao Yi: “……”
“My my my……my song?” said Xiao Yi.
Director Guo said: “Your Chief Du, didn’t say to let you write a song for Xu Feng Yang?”
Xiao Yi dropped his chin with a *thud*.
Director Guo slowly said: “After finished writing, bring the song lyrics to me, let me take a look?”
“Al……alright.” Xiao Yi’s heartbeat almost stopped, he thought to himself that ‘why hasn’t anyone told me! Why hasn’t anyone……told me!’
Xiao Yi was completely crazy, he sat there for a while, director Guo still hadn’t discovered Xiao Yi’s abnormality, got up and left, Xiao Yi thought to himself was that right? Why didn’t he know? Did Dumei recommend him? But Dumei had never heard of his song ah! Even Xiao Yi’s singing she also hadn’t heard it, did Luzhou recommend him to Dumei?
“Xiao Yi?” Dumei’s voice resounded behind him, Xiao Yi jumped in fright, hurriedly got up, and saw Dumei had come to visit the set.
“Why are you sitting here by yourself.” asked Dumei, “where is Luzhou?”
Behind Dumei there were also two company’s assistants, Xiao Yi hurriedly said: “Brother Zhou is in the dressing room.”
“It’s like this.” Said Dumei, “yesterday we discussed……Aiya, director Guo! Hello! We’re just talking about you right now!”
Director Guo came over to shake hands with Dumei, Dumei said to Xiao Yi:” Xiao Yi, how long does it take for you to write a song?”
Xiao Yi finally calmed down, said: “Possibly will take……more than one month.”
“Can you be able to work while composing?” Asked Dumei again.
Xiao Yi hurriedly said he can, Dumei readily said: “Then okay, I’ll go over there to greet the film and television company, we also produce character song, when the moment comes we will put it in a soundtrack, then let them choose the theme song.”
Xiao Yi nervously nodded his head, Dumei and director Guo then went to one side to talk.
That night, Luzhou puzzled, said: “Oh?”
“You introduced me right! Brother Zhou!” Xiao Yi shouted crazily, “Don’t play dumb! Only you have heard me sing——”
“Scram scram!” Luzhou lifted his foot, ready to kicked fly Xiao Yi at any time, Xiao Yi sat next to him and gave him a foot massage, Luzhou then relaxed a little, said, “Let you write then write, what are you dawdling for.”
Xiao Yi sighed, said: “I’m afraid I can’t write it.”
Luzhou said: “If you can’t write it, you go and tell Chief Du, reject the job.”
Xiao Yi was a little hesitant, he was silent for a moment, he already hadn’t really written for many years, casually writing a song, he could write it, but to write a good song, it’s like shooting an explosive box office movie, seven parts depended on inspiration, three parts depended on luck, and was very difficult.
“You’re such a coward!” Luzhou immediately exploded, he stared at Xiao Yi, ablaze with anger as he said: “Do you think I was serious about what I said? You really wanted to reject this job?!”
“But.” Xiao Yi was a little afraid, said, “Ai, brother Zhou, you haven’t done this, you don’t know……”
“Nonsense——！” Luzhou indignantly replied, “Do you know why you’re a good-for-nothing? Ah? Do you know?”
Here we go again, thought Xiao Yi, knowing he would certainly scold like this.
Luzhou coldly said: “What are you afraid of? You still haven’t started composing, then what are you afraid of? Afraid you will mess up and have to pay for the damage? Afraid of letting you hold the box office? Do you need to be guaranteed for an award and only then you will compose ah? Ha? Why are you a good-for-nothing? It’s because you aren’t daring, aren’t daring to do anything, you’re just a spineless coward!”
“You’re afraid to try, afraid you’ll fall on the street, that’s why you’re a good-for-nothing.” toward later in his speech Luzhou tone alleviated a little, he seriously said: “Your son will also be a good-for-nothing, your grandson will also be good-for-nothing, your posterity will also endlessly collapse, all will be good-for-nothing like this.”
“Brother Zhou is right, my eighteenth generation ancestor also was a good-for-nothing.” Said Xiao Yi sincerely.
Luzhou really couldn’t do anything about Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi smiled, continuing to massage Luzhou’s foot, after being silent for a moment, said: “Brother Zhou, thank you.”
Luzhou was taken aback, then puzzledly said: “I didn’t recommend you, what are you thanking for. Forget it forget it, don’t talk about this anymore, when did Chief Du ask you to start composing?”
“She said as soon as possible.” Xiao Yi said, “I’ll start tomorrow.”
Luzhou said: “Is the studio ready? Where are you going to write?”
Xiao Yi vaguely said: “I’m going to write on the set.”
Luzhou said: “Are you sick ah! What can you write on the set! You are composing! Understand?! Composing! If you’re going to write at the set then don’t do it, you’ll just be collecting trash at the site!”
Xiao Yi: “……”
As a result, Xiao Yi was thrown into an audition room in the company, Lin Yao gave him a desk, a piano, as well as composition and arrangement software, plus stacks of paper.
“But I……” Xiao Yi was shutted behind bars, sorrowfully said, “Nobody will take care of you ah!”
“Scram, who needs you to take care of.” Said Luzhou whose face didn’t change color and heart didn’t jump, he simply ignored him, turned around and walked away.
