Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 36 Su Yao: Se Se Is Not Allowed
Lu Xuan slightly lowered his demands.
Immediately, the actor radar gave him more options to choose from.
Then he took Li Hao to visit them one by one, explaining his intentions.
"I want to invite you to star in my new movie."
Most actors were willing to audition, and a few refused because they had prior engagements.
But among the rest, there were enough for Lu Xuan to choose the ones he wanted.
After confirming the number of people, Lu Xuan arranged for them to start auditioning tomorrow morning.
Li Hao had communicated with the crew, and the location had been vacated.
"Where are Old Xu and Sister Tan?"
Li Hao looked around, but couldn't find them.
Lu Xuan flipped through the list, not even looking up: "I told them to go back and familiarize themselves with the script. They'll also come tomorrow to participate in the audition."
"Huh? Weren't they already confirmed?"
"They still have to audition, otherwise they won't be able to convince the others."
This was a necessary process, and the actors had to use their acting skills to speak!
Showing their strength would make filming smoother later on.
Li Hao shrugged: "Okay, see you tomorrow then."
"Okay."
Lu Xuan, feeling relaxed, had just returned home when he heard the sound of a guitar.
"Boom, boom!"
He poked his head in to take a look.
Su Yao was wearing loose pajamas, leaning against the rocking chair on the balcony, holding the guitar and rocking back and forth, occasionally plucking a few guitar strings.
"Good heavens, my guitar is almost hers."
Looking at the guitar nestled in Su Yao's arms, trapped in a 'soft and fragrant' embrace, Lu Xuan smacked his lips.
Somewhat envious.
He thought for a moment, then walked over.
"You're back!"
Hearing the footsteps, Su Yao looked up in surprise.
Then she flipped over and ran to Lu Xuan.
Just as Lu Xuan thought she was going to give him a hug, Su Yao stretched out her slender hand towards him, palm open.
She asked sweetly, "Where's my song?"
Lu Xuan: "..."
So, awkwardness often stems from wishful thinking.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Yao pouted her red lips: "You're not going back on your word, are you? You promised to write me a song!"
She looked a little aggrieved, like a little girl who hadn't received her lollipop.
For a moment, Lu Xuan was a little overwhelmed!
He always felt that since the film festival, Su Yao had become more and more unrestrained.
He had never seen this kind of expression before.
Less aloofness, more playfulness.
Well, this old man likes it!
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, then took out a few sheets of paper from his bag: "The song is already written, but...it requires you to pay a little price."
Su Yao immediately crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Lu Xuan suspiciously: "What price?"
"Let me tell you, no naughty things!"
"Pfft--" Lu Xuan sprayed directly.
"What naughty things! Am I that kind of person!"
"Aren't I preparing for a new movie recently, so I need someone to help me with the background music. I was thinking of having you help me sing a few songs."
Hire a professional singer? That would cost too much money!
Besides, if Su Yao continued to practice, the effect would be about the same as a professional.
"Tsk! Is that all?"
Su Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, leave the new song for your movie to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Now, can you give it to me now?"
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the sheet music in Lu Xuan's hand.
Ever since she started singing, she had fallen in love with this feeling.
In singing, Su Yao found the same sense of accomplishment she had when she improved her acting skills.
So she asked Lu Xuan to write her a few more songs, at the highest market price.
She wanted to try another path, to appreciate a different kind of scenery.
"Here, here, here."
Lu Xuan handed her the sheet music, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Wuhu~" After receiving the sheet music, Su Yao held it like a treasure and ran upstairs with happy little steps.
"Hey! My guitar!"
"No, it's my guitar!"
Bang--
The door closed, and before long, a melodious singing voice came from inside.
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled.
He quite liked the current Su Yao.
At least she was no longer obsessed with the past, but bravely moving towards the future.
In the next few days, Lu Xuan began to busy himself with actor auditions, while Su Yao took the sheet music that Lu Xuan gave her and went to Xingzui to find Li Yaowen.
"President Li, I heard there will be a new singer talent list next month?"
"Yes, what's the matter, Miss Su, are you interested?"
Su Yao nodded: "Yes, I want to give it a try."
Li Yaowen looked at Su Yao thoughtfully.
The new singer talent list was an event jointly organized by major domestic music platforms.
The purpose was to select outstanding new singers and then cultivate them.
The rewards for the top three on the new talent list were very generous, and it could be regarded as a small-scale singer audition competition.
For new singers, being eligible to compete in this event was already proof of their strength.
If they were lucky enough to win first place, they would receive strong support from the platform!
It wouldn't be impossible to soar straight up to ninety thousand miles.
This event gave new singers a chance to soar into the sky.
Therefore, the competition between major music platforms was very fierce, both openly and secretly.
Now that Su Yao had taken the initiative to request to participate, Li Yaowen had no reason to refuse.
The previous "The Wind Rises" proved that Su Yao did have potential. With her talent, it was not impossible to get on the new talent list.
Moreover, he could take this opportunity to do Lu Xuan a favor.
Thinking of this, Li Yaowen nodded.
"Okay, then you will represent Tianqi to participate in this event."
"Thank you, President Li!"
"You're welcome. I'm a few years older than you, you can call me Brother Li like Lu Xuan."
"Okay, Brother Li."
Then, Li Yaowen gave Su Yao a detailed introduction to the event process.
One person, one song, nationwide voting, lasting one month.
The one with the highest number of votes in the end, first place.
Throughout the competition, each platform supervised each other to ensure fairness and impartiality.
If any behavior such as vote buying was discovered, the singer would be directly banned from the entire network, which was a very strong measure.
Then, Li Yaowen briefly talked about the situation of various platforms.
After hearing a certain name, Su Yao instantly became excited.
"Brother Li, are you saying that Shenghua Entertainment will also have someone participating this time?"
"Of course, or rather, the people from Shenghua are the most active in this kind of event."
Thinking of Shenghua Entertainment's 'star-making plan', Li Yaowen curled his lips in disdain.
Instead of relying on strength, they only knew how to engage in such underhanded methods.
Su Yao looked very excited: "Since they are going to participate, then I must participate too."
She was very confident in herself.
As long as there was an opportunity to compete on the same stage, Su Yao believed that she would not be weaker than anyone.
In the depths of Su Yao's beautiful eyes, a raging flame began to burn.
Nemesis, online!
Just because the opportunity for revenge had arrived!
"Thank you, Lu Xuan, for giving me this opportunity for revenge."
In Su Yao's heart, her gratitude to Lu Xuan increased by a few points.
