219: Chapter 219 Director Liu, what are you doing? Why such a grand gesture?!

"Director Liu, what are you doing? Why such a grand gesture?!"

A moment later, Qin Xun saw a group of people climbing up the slope.

A middle-aged man with a big belly led the charge, though he wasn't walking very fast.

The people behind him looked excited and were shouting enthusiastically, but they didn't dare to overtake him.

He looked up at Qin Xun and said with a chuckle, "I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"

"It's hard to get a glimpse even after hearing so much; Mr. Qin, you look even more handsome in person than on video!"

He was fat and physically weak, so he was panting from the climb, and said with effort, "I've had such a hard time finding you!"

Feeling embarrassed to keep standing there, Qin Xun hurried down and asked, "Sir, is there something you need from me?"

The middle-aged man climbed up with effort and said, gasping for air, "I am the director of the movie 'qingyun xing', my name is Director Liu Ming."

"Our movie wraps up today, but we haven't prepared a promotional song yet."

"I would like to invite you to customize a promotional song for the movie, would that be possible?"

Director Liu Ming was a director of a large production team and held a certain status in the industry.

Under normal circumstances, he would be surrounded by people fawning over him; there was no reason for him to rush out to greet someone.

But to show his sincerity, he insisted on walking all the way from over there.

Suddenly!

Just two meters away from Qin Xun, Director Liu Ming slipped and fell to the ground, letting out a painful cry of "Ouch!"

The surroundings fell silent immediately.

The people following him stopped in their tracks, looking at the director who was kneeling on all fours, hesitating for a moment.

Those who could stay by his side were all sharp people.

They didn't know if he was intentionally putting on a show or if he had really fallen.

They didn't dare to rush up to help him up.

Director Liu Ming knelt on the ground for a while, his face looking somewhat embarrassed.

Dammit, why isn't anyone coming to help me up today?

Aren't they usually quite sharp?

My old face... forget it, it's not too embarrassing!

The mountain is steep and the road is slippery, it's understandable.

Seeing this, Qin Xun couldn't help but quicken his pace to walk down, crouched in front of Director Liu Ming, and held his shoulders with both hands, saying, "Director Liu, why go to such lengths!"

"Why do you have to do this?"

"Why such a grand gesture!"

"Isn't it just a song?"

"I'll consider it, isn't that enough?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Liu Ming suddenly looked up, an extremely embarrassed expression appearing on his face.

The people following him lowered their heads one after another, holding back their laughter, not daring to let others see.

This is too awkward!

It was already quite awkward, but now that Qin Xun said that, why does it feel so funny?

If this gets out, Director Liu would lose face completely!

How could a big director kneel on the ground to beg you for a song?

Director Liu Ming smiled awkwardly, stood up from the ground, looked at Qin Xun, and then looked down at his own hands covered in yellow mud.

"Um... Mr. Qin."

"My hands are dirty, so I won't shake your hand, but I heard what you said just now."

"You said you would write a song for me, a promotional song."

"Let's have a good chat later; I want a customized ancient-style song."

"Something like a peaceful melody that can embody that gentle water town feeling."

Qin Xun was stunned.

Did I agree?

I only said I would consider it!

This guy's skin is thicker than mine?

If kneeling to me could get a song, wouldn't the people lining up to kowtow stretch from the Nantian Gate to Penglai East Road?

Qin Xun looked at Director Liu Ming, his expression somewhat troubled.

"Director Liu, I need to think about it. How many months can you give me?"

Director Liu Ming had long seen the news online about Qin Xun writing "wishing we last forever" in 6 minutes.

If Qin Xun was truly willing, why would he need so much time?

At this moment, he saw Qin Xun hesitantly saying, "Director Liu, don't think it's too slow."

"It's mainly because I'm about to film a commercial, but I haven't found a filming team yet. I have things on my mind and I'm so worried I can't sleep all night."

"I have no inspiration."

Director Liu Ming was a sharp person; how could he not understand what that meant?

Ye Lan had already sent word that Qin Xun wanted to rent his photography team at a low price.

He had done a favor and offered a low price of 200,000 per day, which had already been conveyed to Qin Xun through Ye Lan.

Wasn't Qin Xun here today for this very reason?

The fact that he was bringing up so-called inspiration now was nothing more than wanting to use this song to negotiate the price.

Director Liu Ming looked at Qin Xun and smiled.

Qin Xun also looked at Director Liu Ming and smiled; the two understood each other without speaking.

Qin Xun needed this photography team.

He knew that an excellent film production team was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive.

200,000 a day?

And this was a discounted price?

Why don't you just go rob someone!

He wanted to carefully polish an advertisement, which would take at least 7 days.

That's 1.4 million!

Where is there such a thing as spending one's own money to do someone else's work?

As someone who loves a free ride, this made no sense!

The two remained silent for a while.

Director Liu Ming lost his patience first and asked a rhetorical question, "Then may I ask, Mr. Qin, what help do you need from me?"

Qin Xun said: "I heard from Ye Lan that Director Liu's team is top-notch."

Director Liu Ming laughed and said, "That goes without saying."

"And I actually started out shooting commercials, so I have extensive experience as a commercial director."

Hearing this, Qin Xun's expression became somewhat awkward, and he said, "I, uh... need an assistant director."

"A cinematography and lighting crew."

"A script supervisor."

"An art, props, and costume crew."

"A makeup crew."

"And also some temporary actors."

Hearing Qin Xun list everything out, Director Liu Ming nodded, knowing that he was knowledgeable.

Director Liu Ming smiled and patted his chest, leaving a muddy palm print on it.

"No problem! No problem!"

"Everything is no problem!"

"These are all minor matters..."

Suddenly.

He realized something was wrong, looked at Qin Xun, and was somewhat surprised.

"You don't need a director?"

Qin Xun looked at Director Liu Ming's awkward expression and felt a bit awkward himself, saying in a low voice, "Um... the director... is yours truly."

Director Liu Ming looked at Qin Xun silently, unable to save face, and gave two dry laughs.

"Then I will consider it some more!"

"I fell and my brain is a bit dazed, I can't think clearly."

Qin Xun understood that Director Liu Ming was trying to negotiate the price again.

After all, taking his entire photography team but specifically excluding him was a bit embarrassing if word got out.

Qin Xun looked at Director Liu Ming with a smile.

"This is a big matter, it does need consideration. Let me sing you a song to refresh your mind!"

He looked up at the mountains and water in the distance and began to sing softly.

"Blue bricks accompany the tile lacquer"

"White horses tread on new mud"

"Mountain flowers and banana leaves, twilight dyes the red kerchief"

"Raindrops fall from the eaves"

"Smoke rises in wisps"

"Where are you, who I've missed and turned for?"

...

The surroundings fell silent immediately.

Within Qin Xun's melodious singing, one could only hear the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves.

The chirping of insects.

The singing of birds.

And the sound of the stream flowing in the distance.

The singing drifted with the wind.

Not far away.

The nearly one hundred extras gathered together also turned their heads.

"Who is singing?!"

"It sounds so good, someone must be playing music on their phone here!"

"Look, there's someone singing over there by those big stars!"

"Wow, it sounds so good! How is it so stable, just like it's being played from a phone?"

"This is such an open space!"

"Do you guys know who that person is?"

"The one next to Ye Lan? Holy crap, it's Qin Xun!"

"The expert who marketed Ye Lan from a first-line star to a super first-line star!"

"He's the one who wrote 'wishing we last forever'!"

"Is that the fruit guy who sold apples, the one who triggered the trending topic, 'Where is Qin Xun, singers in the music scene miss you very much'?"

"Then let's go ask him for an autograph later, shall we?"

"Don't go! The assistant director just came over and warned us not to disturb Qin Xun!"

"Whoever disturbs Qin Xun won't get a chicken leg in their lunch box today!"

...

After the song finished.

Qin Xun looked down at the shocked Director Liu Ming.

"Director Liu, have you thought it over clearly?"
