Serious shooting

After Luo Xiao confirmed that it was nothing unexpected, he put his phone away and looked up at Chen Cong and Du Ziteng.

"President Du, President Chen, follow me. There is a simple lounge over there; let's go there to chat."

"Hmm."

Du Ziteng and Chen Cong nodded and followed alongside Luo Xiao.

"Did General Manager Luo just encounter some good news?"

Thinking about the smile on Luo Xiao's face when he looked at his message, Chen Cong asked curiously.

"It is indeed good news. One of the singers from our Lanpian Film and Television has had three songs added to the Ku Mao Music platform."

Luo Xiao said as he walked.

There was no need to hide such things; after all, if anyone wanted to know, they could find out with a simple search.

Besides, it was not something that needed to be kept secret.

"Oh, what songs?"

Du Ziteng became interested upon hearing this.

"They are [invisible wings], [ten years], and [later]. We have exclusively licensed them to Ku Mao Music, so they can only be heard on Ku Mao Music."

"[invisible wings], [ten years]"

Du Ziteng and Chen Cong couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this.

These two songs have been very popular recently, and they sometimes listen to them on repeat in the office.

It's just that they didn't expect these two songs to have come from Lanpian Film and Television.

This was truly beyond their expectations.

Also, they hadn't heard the song [later]. Could it be inferior to [invisible wings] and [ten years], and thus not popular?

Thinking this to themselves, the two opened Ku Mao Music and searched for [later] in the search interface.

Sure enough, a song appeared.

They clicked play.

After a while, the song ended.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in the other's eyes.

In terms of song quality, this [later] is definitely not inferior to [invisible wings] and [ten years].

But why hadn't they heard it before?

However, they soon figured it out: this [later] had just been released two days ago, so that explained it.

They only listened to songs in their own playlists and never looked for songs on the charts.

Basically, they only found out about good songs when others told them.

And this song [later] had only been released for two days, so it hadn't reached their ears yet.

"General Manager Luo, your Group is truly full of talent!"

Du Ziteng looked at General Manager Luo and sighed with emotion.

He had already gained some understanding of Mingri Group, whether it was Wei Yan and Fang Chang of Cangxue Games, Pang Tao and Xu Zhengming of Pet Park, or even the Luo Xiao and Wang Bin in front of him.

These are all talented people!

And now, there was even a singer.

"President Du, this is all thanks to the discerning eye of President Chen of the Group. Before this, we couldn't be considered talented people at all; some of us even had trouble making a living."

Luo Xiao smiled and shook his head.

Before, no one had ever called him talented, especially after he filmed two terrible movies.

The most common thing said to him was, "You're not cut out for this."

If not for the appearance of President Chen, he wouldn't know what he would be doing now.

The only thing he could be sure of was that he definitely wouldn't be doing as well as he was now.

"President Chen, huh!"

Du Ziteng's eyes carried a trace of admiration upon hearing this. As a peer, even a few years younger than them, his current status was already catching up to that of their fathers' generation.

Thinking of this, Du Ziteng's intention to befriend President Chen grew even stronger.

Three songs, huh.

Tiger Head Livestream happened to have a song request feature. Since these three songs were so good, he would go and negotiate the licensing for them.

He could benefit, and Lanpian Film and Television could also gain some profit.

It was basically a win-win situation.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a simple pergola.

Luo Xiao looked at Chen Cong and Du Ziteng.

"Since you two want to try acting, I have indeed prepared two roles with not much screen time. However, Wang Bin must have already told you the requirements, right? Even for roles with little screen time, we have strict requirements, and it's possible we will have to reshoot many times."

"Oh, Wang Bin has already mentioned that. We have no problems with it. Since we want to experience filming, naturally, the more realistic, the better. Plus, when the movie is released, it will be more satisfying to see the roles we played."

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng nodded slightly.

"Good. Since that's the case, we will film your scenes in a moment. You will also need to change your costumes."

As Luo Xiao said this, he turned and gestured to a costume assistant in the distance.

Soon, Chen Cong and Du Ziteng left with the costume assistant.

After a while, the two returned after changing their clothes.

Luo Xiao took them directly to the filming location and started the shoot immediately.

"Cut! The movement is wrong; it needs to be natural."

"Cut! Watch your eyes, pay attention to your eyes."

"Cut! The tone needs to be more serious."

"Cut! Still not working; your facial muscles are too stiff."

"…"

As filming began, it was hard to count how many "cuts" had echoed on the set.

"Cut! That's it, that one works."

It was unknown how much time had passed; Du Ziteng and Chen Cong were nearly numb. They no longer knew how many times they had filmed it.

In any case, they just kept reshooting.

Although they had expected it beforehand, they still found it hard to believe at this moment.

In their hearts, they finally understood how [demon subduing record] had succeeded.

Under such strict filming conditions, unless the script is terrible, the resulting movie simply won't be bad.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Xiao's voice suddenly came from beside them.

The two regained their senses and saw Luo Xiao standing in front of them, handing each of them a bottle of water.

Seeing this, Chen Cong didn't say anything. He took the water, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in large gulps.

Du Ziteng also took the water and drank it.

"How does it feel to film?"

Luo Xiao looked at the two and smiled.

"Not great. I'm never experiencing this again."

Chen Cong screwed the cap back on and waved his hand.

…

Mingri Group, Presidents Office. Chen Mo sat in the boss chair, his eyes fixed tightly on the computer screen, the mouse moving rapidly, while he hummed a song incessantly.

"I hold the Meteor Crescent Blade, shouting loud slogans. Who is ahead, state your name! If you're capable, don't run…"

On the computer screen, a game character was holding a glittering golden blade, constantly chasing and hacking at people in the wilderness.

After a while, feeling a bit tired of playing, he exited the game.

Since he accepted that he had two profitable games, he had downloaded them both back and would occasionally go in and play.

And this morning, he had received the second message from Zhang Lan.

The song licensing contract had been signed. Not counting the revenue sharing, the licensing fee of 8 million per song meant 24 million for the three songs.

According to the 80/20 split, he would receive 19.2 million. Of course, this was before taxes.

But this was already enough.

In a few days, he would have tens of millions in personal assets.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Mo's mouth curled up involuntarily. He was finally going to have money.
