Chapter 11 Deceiving the Sci-Fi Succubus
Sound engineer Mr. Mo was already waiting at the entrance of Studio 5. When he saw Gu Yi coming over, he smiled and said...
"Hello, Teacher Mo!"
Gu Yi greeted him with a smile.
"Why do I feel like I've never seen you before?"
"I'm new here."
"It would be a pleasure to work with you."
Teacher Mo didn't ask any more questions and turned to start preparing for the recording.
At this moment, Gu Yi casually asked a question.
"Teacher Mo, who was that just now?"
"Xue Zhiqian. We've been renting Studio 3 for almost half a year now, and we're currently finishing up the new album, which will be released at the end of the year."
Gu Yicai belatedly realized that it was no wonder the man looked so familiar; it was him!
Teacher Mo suddenly turned around and reminded him.
"If you're planning to release a song, it's best to avoid his schedule. Several demos from his album have already gone viral in the industry, and they're destined to be hits."
That's how the music industry works. When popular singers release their albums, others either have to stagger their releases or go head-to-head with them. It's all about survival.
Unless there's a grudge, people usually just tell someone they know well, and they also spread the word among themselves.
Teacher Mo also liked Gu Yi, otherwise she wouldn't have reminded him.
"It's okay, my song will be released in December."
Gu Yi smiled.
Although Xue Zhiqian's romantic history is messy and he has been entangled with his ex-wife, his songs are still very popular.
For example, the recently released films "Weirdo", "Talent", "Dumb" and "Skyscraper" are quite good.
Instead of rushing to record the song, he went to the piano, tuned the chords, and planned to calm down and finish composing the entire piece.
"That's good, everything's fine on my end. You can begin."
Seeing this, Teacher Mo closed the soundproof door of the recording studio, sat on the control panel, put on his headphones, and prepared to start recording.
Gu Yi began to play the piano.
"You've got something!"
Teacher Mo was also taken aback when she heard the cold and melancholic piano tone flowing out first.
Time flew by, and Gu Yi worked on it until 2 p.m., by which time Teacher Mo had gone to rest.
When he felt hungry, he remembered that his takeout was still at the front desk, so he got up and went out to get it.
When they came out,
My legs went numb and I staggered.
Are you alright?
In the corridor, Xue Zhiqian was leaning against the wall talking on the phone. He hung up when he saw him come out.
"Has it been recording all this time?"
"Yeah, I was so busy I lost track of time."
Gu Yi took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Hello, Teacher Xue, I am Gu Yi."
Xue Zhiqian's eyes lit up when he shook hands with him.
"I said you look familiar. Aren't you the LOL world champion from a while ago? You're here to record a song."
He took out his phone.
"Add me on WeChat. When the song is released, send it to me so I can listen to it. If I like it, I'll help you promote it."
Gu Yi quickly unlocked his phone to scan the QR code. When the other party's profile picture popped up, he suddenly felt a little unreal.
"Thank you, Teacher Xue!"
"Just call me Lao Xue from now on!"
"Dude!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Xue Zhiqian turned around and went back to the recording studio, waving goodbye with a smile as she closed the door.
Gu Yi shook his head. Just as rumored online, he was quite supportive of newcomers in the music industry.
Half an hour later, after Gu Yi finished his meal, he received a document containing film and television project information sent by Principal Wang via WeChat.
He quickly opened the document and browsed through it; it was full of projects that were short of funding due to the downturn in the film and television industry.
Because of tax evasion and the issue of dual contracts, the capital market has blocked the film and television industry, and the financial sector has begun to avoid it.
Even Wang Changtian of Fiber Optic Media publicly stated that the industry has been severely impacted, capital has begun to withdraw in large quantities, and the film and television industry has officially entered a winter.
But this doesn't affect Gu Yi at all. He's not as successful as Bo Jun Yi Xiao, who has dozens of endorsements.
All he needs to do is perform the trick well, get 10 endorsements, collect some songs in advance, and sing a few occasionally.
That way, you can live a comfortable and carefree life.
Turn to the end,
Gu Yi's eyes lit up.
The sign read: "The Wandering Earth production team is urgently urging its partners to make payments."
He remembered a rumor from his past life: two months before the movie was released, some partners had not yet paid him.
Guo Fan had to mortgage his property and find someone to raise 900 million yuan for post-production costs.
Actually, if Wu Jing hadn't invested an additional 60 million, the project would have been gone long ago. It just goes to show how awesome Cyber Daji and Sci-Fi Succubus are.
The document also contained three other potential projects, but Gu Yi did not hesitate to dial the contact number in the document.
"Hello, are you director Guo Fan?"
"Yes, that's me. And who are you?"
Guo Fan's voice sounded tired at this moment.
"My name is Gu Yi."
Gu Yi got straight to the point.
"I learned from Mr. Wang that your production team is currently facing a funding gap, and I would like to inquire whether you would consider investing."
"Mr. Wang? Which Mr. Wang?"
Guo Fan paused for a moment, then became cautious.
"The son of the owner of Yida Group."
Gu Yi spoke slowly.
"So it was him. But why did he recommend you invest in this?"
"I am an esports player for the IG team. This year, we won the S-series world championship. He originally wanted to keep me on the team, but I want to switch careers and become an entertainer."
Gu Yi deliberately slowed down his speech.
"But it's too difficult for newcomers to find resources now, so he suggested that I should build my own team or bring my own funding to the project."
"However, I don't have much money, and I was thinking of investing a small amount to get a chance to audition in the future, so he recommended you to me."
Guo Fan was completely stunned after hearing this.
He thought Gu Yi had a very good relationship with Principal Wang!
So it turns out they're treating you like an enemy!
Otherwise, why would I have recommended you to me?
"Are you sure you didn't read that wrong? I'm making a sci-fi film. It might not even make money."
Guo Fan confirmed this again.
The Wandering Earth was in preparation for four years, but encountered multiple withdrawals of funding along the way, and the industry generally did not have a good impression of this science fiction film.
Principal Wang is clearly setting a trap, pushing Gu Yi into a fire pit so that he can quickly lose all his money and go back to playing the game honestly.
But the current shortfall of 900 million is suffocating him. Rather than mortgaging his property and taking such a risk, accepting this investment is not out of the question.
This not only solves the immediate problem but also earns Wang Sicong's favor, as Yida's cinema resources might come in handy in the future.
However, he didn't want to be used as a pawn, nor did he want Gu Yi to hate him in the future, so he wanted to make things clear first.
If we really lose money,
We can make it up to him by giving him a role later.
"No problem! Besides, I have millions of followers on Weibo, so I can help the production team promote the show on Weibo."
Gu Yi noticed the change in Guo Fan's tone and was secretly delighted. He had already succeeded halfway in using Guo Fan's influence.
Guo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. With Yida backing him and the ability to promote the drama, convincing others would be easy.
"I understand. There's a shortfall of 900 million. You can handle that?"
"Can!"
"I'll discuss it with the others and get back to you later."
"Okay, shall I add you on WeChat?"
"Okay, this is the phone number!"
Both of them laughed and hung up the phone, but Gu Yi knew that Guo Fan was probably overthinking it, but that was exactly the effect he wanted.
