88: Chapter 88 The Legend of the Vermilion Bird
"The silent waves deeply drown the night, overflowing the corners at the end of the sky"
When Zhou Bule's high-pitched, ethereal voice echoed in the screening room, Chen Shaoping felt as if he was pulled by the song and suddenly woke up.
Zhang Ying rubbed her sore shoulders, her expression unchanged, and listened carefully to the song.
Many audience members had already stood up to leave, but the moment this line of the song came out, they sat back down.
Even more so, several people who had already reached the exit turned around and walked back.
The children also stopped their mischief.
They were all quietly listening to this shocking, goosebump-inducing song.
"Watching the sea and sky merge, listening to the wind rise and rain fall, holding hands to disperse the vast mist. The big fish's wings are already too vast, I release the ropes of time.
Watching you fly far away, watching you leave me. You were born to belong to the sky. Every tear flows towards you, flowing back to our first encounter.
Ah... ah... ah... ah..."
Chen Shaoping had heard this song many times, but each time he was deeply moved.
Especially that chanting part—this must be the sound of nature.
Chen Shaoping and Zhang Ying walked out of the cinema, and a gentle breeze finally brought a hint of coolness.
"Someone said they'd treat me to a movie, but ended up sleeping through the whole thing," Zhang Ying complained.
Chen Shaoping felt a bit embarrassed, "Sister Ying, don't worry. When our company's movie is released, I promise to watch it with you from beginning to end."
"Who's watching a movie with you? My shoulder is still sore."
"Come, Sister Ying, I'll rub it for you!"
"Go away, take your hand off."
"It tickles, it tickles so much!"
...
When he returned to the 6th floor of Building 8, Lingnan Mansion, Chen Shaoping originally wanted to go to Room 61 to sit for a while.
He was still rejected by Zhang Ying.
When he finished washing up and lay in bed, the intelligence refreshed, and the rewards were received simultaneously.
[Host completed one piece of intelligence, gaining 4 paparazzi points.]
[Host has paparazzi points: 39 points.]
That's it?
Chen Shaoping was stunned and complained, "System, you haven't given the rewards for the two four-star intel yet, did you forget?"
[Today's Intelligence 1 (★★★): Pianist Li Li is about to go abroad to participate in an international piano competition, but she has been struggling with the competition piece, trying various options but always feeling something is missing.
Today, she will be a guest performer on a CCTV program. Li Li's phone: 185]
[Today's Intelligence 2 (★★★): New singer Xiao Qi caught his girlfriend cheating with his company's leader. In a fit of rage, he beat up the leader and was subsequently blacklisted. His contract still has three years left, with a penalty of 300,000 yuan.
Tonight at 23:11, he will appear at the 'Seven Degrees Space Bar' on Shuanglong Road in Kyoto to drown his sorrows, staying until 2:25 the next day. Xiao Qi's phone: 139]
...
After broadcasting the intelligence, the system fell silent.
It showed no intention of answering him.
Chen Shaoping was a bit frantic.
However, the intelligence information clearly reminded him.
Today, the second episode of the CCTV program, the singer & songwriter, began.
He, Wang Bo, and Zhou Bule had to set off for Kyoto again.
Morning.
Although Chen Shaoping went to bed late, he still woke up relatively early.
He arrived at the company early.
Before going to Kyoto, he needed to discuss some company matters.
After seeing Intelligence 2 last night, he estimated he would have to stay in Kyoto for some extra time.
Tongxing Entertainment Company.
A group of people almost filled Chen Shaoping's office, making it very lively.
"Hua Lin, Zheng Yi, your combination can no longer be called 'Huoku Combination'; it needs to be changed."
"How about 'Zhuque Legend'? It's grand."
Chen Shaoping smiled at the two, but it didn't seem like a joke.
Hua Lin and Zheng Yi exchanged glances.
Actually, the name didn't matter to them, as long as it was their combination.
"We'll follow the company's arrangements," Hua Lin replied.
"Da Ping, are you serious? Zhuque Legend? This name..." Li Qian was unwilling, thinking it didn't sound good.
"Sister Qian, of course I'm serious. I think this name sounds great."
Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Chen Shaoping kicked him and glared at him.
The surrounding gloating people had to turn their backs and laugh secretly.
"Sister Qian, I will send you the songs for the Zhuque Legend combination, Fei Er Combination, and Wang Xinning later. Please record and release them as soon as possible."
"Okay."
The singers were overjoyed to hear Chen Shaoping's words, their faces filled with happiness.
They hummed little tunes as they left.
Only Li Qian, Zhang Ying, Wang Bo, and Chen Shaoping remained in the office.
Chen Shaoping spent 4 paparazzi points directly in the system store to exchange for the songs "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," "Above the Moon," "The First Person I Loved," and "Lydia."
He immediately sent them to Li Qian.
[Host has paparazzi points: 35 points]
"Sister Qian, the songs have been sent to you. The rest is up to your arrangements."
Li Qian glanced at her phone, confirmed she had received the songs, and replied happily.
"Okay, CEO Chen."
She then asked, "Jiaxing Media asked us which two roles we want to recommend people for in 'three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms'?"
"They are already preparing to start filming this script."
Chen Shaoping glanced at Zhang Ying, who was listening intently to their conversation, and asked, "Sister Ying, are you really not planning to act?"
Zhang Ying didn't expect it to involve her, and she decisively shook her head, "No acting."
Since she was unwilling, Chen Shaoping didn't force her.
"Sister Qian, then let's go with Yang Mengmeng and Wang Bo."
"Send the script to Yang Mengmeng and let her choose a supporting role with more screen time. She can try out for several, no problem."
"As for Wang Bo, we will try to secure the role of 'Emperor Donghua' for him."
Initially, Chen Shaoping wanted Wang Bo to play 'Siming,' but that role required a bit of a sly cunning, which he might not be able to pull off.
'Emperor Donghua' has a cold exterior, which would be easier for him to get into.
Wang Bo was incredibly excited, his legs almost giving out, almost kowtowing to Chen Shaoping.
He's truly a brother, always thinking of him in everything.
"Da Ping, Brother Ping. I knew you loved me."
After speaking, his lips curled up high.
Li Qian rolled her eyes at him and said grumpily, "How about you two go, and I'll leave?"
Chen Shaoping also cursed, "Scram."
Wang Bo stood aside, giggling foolishly, not daring to speak anymore.
"By the way, how's 'crazy stone' filming going?"
"Everything is progressing smoothly; it should be ready for the National Day holiday release."
"That's good, we'll stop here."
"The three of us need to leave."
Chen Shaoping felt that everything had been said and prepared to head to the airport.
"Okay, I'll make a call and then send you off," Li Qian said.
Zhang Ying finally managed to interject, "Qian, you arrange things at the company; I'll send them off."
"Okay."
As they walked out of the office, Li Qian seemed to hesitate, as if wanting to say something.
Seeing this, Chen Shaoping teased, "Sister Qian, aren't you worried about Wang Bo? I'll keep an eye on him, don't worry."
"He wouldn't dare. I wanted to ask if 'Zhuque Legend' really isn't changing?" Li Qian spoke her mind.
"No change," Chen Shaoping prepared to explain, and at the same time finally remembered one more thing he hadn't finished saying.
"'Zhuque' is the king of all birds, with a grand vision; 'Legend' signifies our goal.
This name alone is worthy of the songs I've prepared for them, which will sweep across the nation!"
"Sister Qian, after Zhuque Legend releases their songs, immediately arrange for people to choreograph several sets of square dances suitable for middle-aged and elderly people based on these two songs."
"We're going to start selling square dance CDs and videos."
