Chapter 201 The Wind Rises

Yang Mi has recently been frequently appearing on TV shows and roadshows with the crew of "Painted Skin 2".

The most frequently asked question was about the awkward acting.

Yang Mi has learned her lesson from the criticisms from film critics and professionals.

I followed Yang Siwei's instructions and replied in the same tone: "I clearly recognize my shortcomings."

“And I will work hard to improve my acting skills.”

Li Chen called Yang Siwei and Zhou Xun over.

Zhou Xun is rarely seen in public. Unless she has a movie, she is most likely hanging out with her boyfriend.

When he saw Yang Siwei, he asked directly, "Why did Director Li ask me to come back today?"

Yang Siwei smiled mysteriously: "That's good, you'll know when you get there. Let's go, don't keep the boss waiting too long."

Zhou Xun chuckled: "Why are you being so mysterious? Are there new dramas?"

Yang Siwei smiled and didn't answer. The two of them came to Li Chen's office.

Li Chen was talking to Tim on the phone and motioned for the two to sit down.

Zhou Xun listened and found out it was related to Warner Music, and he was puzzled.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen stood up and walked around the desk with a yellow file bag in his hand.

"This is what I promised you. Open it and take a look. You should be able to sing it."

Zhou Xun was stunned, glanced at Yang Siwei and Li Chen, picked up the file bag and smiled: "I see."

Li Chen smiled and said, "You have a solid position in the film industry now, and you have just signed a contract with Chanel. It's not a bad idea to try music."

"Warner took over the recording and distribution."

"Next month, Chen Jianshun, president of Warner Greater China, and I will hold a grand signing ceremony for you."

Zhou Xun was stunned again: "Sign with Warner?"

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "The boss is not that petty. If it's a movie, we don't have to rely on anyone."

"However, Warner still dominates the music industry."

"Brother Xun, you are the first mainland artist to sign with both Rongchen Pictures and Warner."

"The boss is very kind to you!"

Zhou Xun was touched. She thought Director Li had long forgotten his promise.

She has no regrets about joining Rongchen Pictures. The only regret she has is that she gave up music.

Unexpectedly, today, the company gave her a huge surprise.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Although you are the first one, there will be a second one soon."

Yang Siwei asked curiously, "Who is it? Boss, why haven't I heard of you before?"

Li Chen drank a sip of tea and said, "Tim also heard it from Warner's people."

"Next month, Warner Bros. and Huayi Entertainment will also sign Xu Ruoxuan from The Legend of the Condor Heroes at the same time."

Yang Siwei immediately understood: "Boss, don't worry."

"I guarantee that Brother Xun's signing ceremony will not be any worse than Huayi's."

Li Chen nodded: "Just go ahead and do it. I won't set a budget limit for you."

“Whether it’s the outfit or the venue, don’t be afraid to spend money!”

Yang Siwei laughed: "I understand now that the boss has said this."

Yang Siwei and Zhou Xun blinked.

Zhou Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Director Li, it's not that I have Daqi, but you have Yifei."

"You're really a boyfriend that's hard not to be attracted to!"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking about these useless things, and record this single in a week."

“We strive to make it seamless before Painted Skin 2 is released.”

“If the effect is good, there will be a second and third song soon after.”

"Warner will also have to see the results, after all, the album sales are declining."

Zhou Xun nodded: "I understand, Director Li, I won't say thank you."

Li Chen waved his hand, and Zhou Xun and Yang Siwei stood up and left. He changed the lyrics of "The Wind Rises", replacing all the words "Nagano's sky" with the place names of Yanjing.

Returned to Yang Siwei's office.

"With the boss's special power, I will make your signing ceremony unprecedented this time."

Zhou Xun didn't say much and didn't ask many questions.

She would not object to the company's actions, but she always felt that they were too extravagant.

Zhou Xun never expected that the signing ceremony prepared by Yang Siwei and Warner would cost 50 million yuan.

A Harry Winston crown alone is worth around $2000 million.

Tian Zhuangzhuang won the Best Director Award at the Shanghai Film Festival for his film "Wu Qingyuan", and his apprentice Li Chen presented the award to him, which became a popular story.

At the end of the month, Warner Music and Rongchen Pictures held a joint press conference.

Announcement of Zhou Xun's re-entry into the music scene.

At the same time, a signing ceremony will be held for Zhou Xun at the Crowne Plaza Wuzhou Hotel on the 16th of next month.

Zhou Xun's first single "The Wind Rises" was composed by Li Chen and arranged by Warner's gold medal production team.

With the success of "Those Years", both the media and fans are looking forward to "The Wind Rises".

"Leo has conquered all the worlds with this move, but I don't know if this move can help Zhou Xun gain a firm foothold in the music industry."

"Leo is really great with his artists, but has he forgotten who his girlfriend is?"

"Yes, he thinks he is a saint, selfless? He gives Zhou Xun a single, but doesn't write one for Tianxian?"

"Does Leo also think that the celestial being is inferior to Zhou Xun? Why is he responding in this way?"

Li Chen had already anticipated these discussions on the Internet.

So I calmly responded to netizens on my blog.

"She recorded the song for Tian Xian three years ago. It's the theme song for Draw the Bow, Daddy. Just wait patiently!"

"You are right. I am not a saint. I do not claim to be selfless. I just want to have a clear conscience."

In the evening, Miss Liu called.

"I reposted your blog and my fans said they forgave you."

Li Chen said with a smile: "Your fans often pull me out and give me a beating."

"It's like I'm going to be Chen Shimei at any moment!"

Miss Liu laughed melodiously: "You are Chen Shimei, but I am not a wife!"

"Have you ever seen a pretty girl like me?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's right, I should say you are a princess, the Crystal Princess."

"At the end of next month, we'll take a break. My eldest brother wants to promote his Peaky Blinders 3." Liu Yifei sounded a little discouraged.

Big stars have this privilege, and the crew has to revolve around them.

Li Chen also knew about this: "He wants to promote Peak of Six 3, and you also want to promote Thieves Gate, so this is called not delaying both."

Xu Zheng is very efficient. He changed the name of "Lost in Hong Kong" to "Hong Kong Journey". It is indeed very Xu Zheng.

The media interviewed Xu Zheng whether "Hong Kong Journey" is a sequel to "Lost in Thailand".

Xu Zheng immediately denied it, saying that "Hong Kong Journey" was a new story and had nothing to do with "Lost in Thailand".

But it will still maintain the comedy style of "Lost in Thailand".

I heard that in addition to Guangxian, other investors include China Film Group and Yinghuang.

But the loss of Rongchen Pictures surprised the media.

Since his debut, Li Chen has promoted many directors.

Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Wu Bin, Xue Xiaolu, and the new guy from Liu Dehua.

Ning Hao has already announced the news of "Crazy Racing", and one of the investors is Rongchen Pictures.

But when Xu Zheng arrived, there was no sign of Rongchen Pictures.

Xu Zheng and Rongchen Pictures said that Rongchen Pictures' investment budget this year has exceeded its budget.

But when I tell it to you, no one believes it.
