“Okay little brother, your sister is leaving. Call me if you need anything.”
Fan Bing Bing smiled and didn't look at Liu Xiao Li, she just made a phone call gesture with her hands before leaving.
Luo Yun Chu's face darkened. Those words were definitely intentional, deliberately making things difficult for him.
He watched the woman's departing back and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said.
“Okay, Auntie, see you later.”
Fan Bing Bing had just reached the staircase when she stumbled and almost fell, luckily she wasn't wearing high heels.
Okay, okay, in her eyes, he was just an old aunt.
But although she was called Auntie, she didn't dislike it, she actually liked this way of interacting.
It was better than those disgusting men who saw her and only thought about getting with her.
As for women.
The women in this circle were engaged in a daily power struggle, constantly trying to undermine each other.
They'd pretend to be best friends, but you never knew when they'd stab you in the back.
Not long after entering the entertainment industry.
She didn't even have a friend she could confide in, she understood that only when she was at the top would everyone around her be good people.
Therefore, she had always had an ambition, an ambition to climb to the top.
……
“Auntie, you're finally back.”
The ice on Luo Yun Chu's face melted, revealing a smile.
Liu Xiao Li's lips moved, but she didn't mention the woman in the end.
“Mm, it's your turn, go quickly.”
Luo Yun Chu nodded and walked into the audition room.
Liu Xiao Li watched him leave and suddenly felt a sense of urgency, she hadn't felt this way before.
Until that woman appeared today, she realized.
If she wasn't careful, Luo Yun Chu might be taken away by a bad woman.
……
Luo Yun Chu's audition didn't go very well, which was good news.
Just as he guessed, he was a bit too old for the protagonist, Huang Hai Bing.
He wasn't in the crew's consideration range.
The good news was that the director thought Luo Yun Chu was good, and even if he wasn't suitable for the lead, he wanted to give him a cameo role.
He wanted Luo Yun Chu to play a cold and loyal bodyguard in the drama, a cameo role.
He would only appear in a few episodes before getting eliminated.
Yes, it was a cameo role tailored for him.
The director directly invited Liu Xiao Li, who was his manager, to discuss this matter. There was no chance of him being the lead.
But he could have a cameo, they could give him more cameo scenes.
Liu Xiao Li looked at Luo Yun Chu as if asking his opinion.
“You decide, Auntie, I'm just a newcomer, I don't pick roles.”
Since it was just a cameo, Luo Yun Chu didn't have any objections, it was a simple matter.
Liu Xiao Li smiled indulgently and agreed to the cameo role.
The director and several producers were surprised, it was the first time they had seen a manager listening to their artist.
If it was a big name, a top star, it would be understandable, but Luo Yun Chu was clearly a newcomer.
But it was their business, no one would say anything.
After confirming that the contract was fine, Luo Yun Chu signed it on the spot.
Then he went home to wait for filming to begin.
……
A few days later
The people from Universal Records contacted Liu Xiao Li first. The script and location for the MV shooting were ready.
This time, her cousin also went, she was the female lead in the "晴天 (Qing Tian)" MV.
There was no other option, the actress Universal had hired was simply terrible.
As for the other MVs, several were solo MVs.
When they arrived at the company,
Liu Yi Fei was already a bit impatient, she mumbled that she wanted Luo Yun Chu to sing a few lines for her to listen to.
She hadn't heard her cousin sing before.
Mm... his speaking voice was so pleasant, his singing must be good.
No, it must be good!
……
The executives quickly made arrangements.
A small photography team took the three of them out. The location had already been decided, it was a closed park and road in a scenic area.
In fact, most MVs were recorded in a recording studio, then the singers lip-synched to the recorded track.
Filming was also relatively simple, not as meticulous as TV dramas and movies.
Luo Yun Chu had watched the "Qing Tian" MV countless times in his previous life, so he couldn't help but point out things during filming.
The MV's director was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, the guy was giving him face by calling him "director."
If he didn't give him face, it would be the photographer who wouldn't give him face.
The MV shooting took about a day.
When it was over, Liu Yi Fei was still humming the tune.
Almost half of it was filmed according to Luo Yun Chu's suggestions, and Liu Yi Fei was the happiest one during filming.
She didn't have to do anything, no lines, just had to appear and make random movements.
It was much simpler than filming a TV drama.
She also got to hear her cousin's new song, "Qing Tian" was really nice.
It was so good that she could listen to it on repeat all day.
For this reason, she specially bought an MP3 and transferred the song "Qing Tian" onto it, listening to it at night before going to bed.
It felt like her cousin was beside her, humming softly and holding her.
It was a pity that the other songs didn't need a female lead for the MV, otherwise, she could have done them all.
These days, apart from the few average songs, the remaining five songs were all scheduled to have MVs.
But as they shot more, Luo Yun Chu completely took on the role of director, he learned things much faster than others.
Plus he had seen the original MVs, so he simply filmed according to his own direction and ideas.
He only needed a team.
The other songs were easy, but "东风破 (Dong Feng Po)" was missing a classical female lead.
He initially wanted to ask his aunt to play the role.
But Liu Xiao Li firmly refused the invitation to appear, so he could only go with his backup plan.
With a hopeful heart.
He sent a message to Auntie Fan, inviting her to play the female lead in the "Dong Feng Po" MV.
Auntie Fan looked great in period costumes, but he thought his aunt's aura would be more suitable.
Notes
Auntie Fan: “You want me to be the female lead in your new song MV? Okay, little brother, I was wondering why you didn't care about the male lead. So you have this kind of confidence.”
Luo Yun Chu: “Mm, it's not that exaggerated, I just wanted to try it.”
Auntie Fan: “Ordinary people don't have the capital to try things like this, I didn't realize you were a little rich kid.”
Luo Yun Chu: “Auntie, you really think too much.”
Auntie Fan: “Call me Auntie again and I won't come.”
Luo Yun Chu: “Sister”
Auntie Fan: “Good boy, your sister will come tomorrow.”
“Pfft” Fan Bing Bing laughed at the message, he actually caved so quickly.
Little brother, you weren't like this before, you loved calling me Auntie.
She didn't think Luo Yun Chu's album would be very successful, she just wanted to take a break and tease her little brother.
If it were that easy to become famous.
She wouldn't have to work so hard to climb to the top.
The fact that he could shoot an MV and release an album meant he came from a wealthy family, her assessment of Luo Yun Chu went up a notch.
She'd go and see for herself tomorrow.
