I became a scandal heroine overnight

Chapter 660 An Idea

Liu Yuqian sat in front of Zhou Yun. It had been a long time since she had seen her. Liu Yuqian cut her hair short, turned her phone upside down on the table as soon as she sat down, and smiled at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun asked: "Sister Yuqian, what's the matter with you looking for me so anxiously?"

Liu Yuqian nodded and said, "A very urgent matter, Xiao Yun, I'm sorry, if possible, I really don't want to bother you, but I really have no other choice, I want to borrow money from you, is that okay?"

"Sister Yuqian, what happened to you?" Zhou Yun looked at Liu Yuqian in surprise, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Liu Yuqian pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I had a bet with the company before, and if I lost, I have to pay them [-] million. I have been working together for a long time, and I am still short of [-] million. I really can't make it out. Xiaoyun, I'm sorry, I feel embarrassed to tell you this, but I really can't help it."

Hearing what Liu Yuqian said, Zhou Yun immediately understood.

VAM agreements between celebrity artists and companies became popular a few years ago, and it has become less popular in the past two years, but basically famous artists back then, you can see news about their VAM agreements with companies on the Internet.

With the current benefits, who is not tempted, who doesn't want to eat into a big fat man in one go?

But in the end, few people were able to complete the bet.

Zhou Yun actually hesitated.First, five million is not a small number. Not only is it not a small number, but it is also a very large number. Of course Zhou Yun can afford the money, otherwise Liu Yuqian would not come to her, but it is one thing. Whether you want to take it out is another matter.Second, Zhou Yun and Liu Yuqian haven't gotten to know each other well enough yet. She and Liu Yuqian have a good relationship, but they have only known each other for about a year. Usually, they might meet a few times a year. What if Liu Yuqian borrows money and doesn't pay it back?Zhou Yun was not very sure about Liu Yuqian's character, not sure.

Zhou Yun asked: "Sister Yuqian, can I ask, what will happen if you don't pay the money properly?"

Liu Yuqian said: "My own company will be bought back by them, and I will lose 30% of the shares, and the exclusive acting agency relationship cannot be terminated within ten years."

Zhou Yun immediately understood.

Liu Yuqian should have taken advantage of the crazy influx of capital to set up a company by herself, and then conducted a round of betting with her original company. I don't know how the negotiation was done or what the terms were, but the two parties agreed The company provided Liu Yuqian and her company with certain things, but Liu Yuqian and her company had to complete a certain goal within a certain time limit, otherwise, Liu Yuqian would have to accept the consequences of the failure of the VAM agreement.

Liu Yuqian said, "Xiaoyun, I need your help."

Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Sister Yuqian, I will help you, but you have to promise me that you will return the money to me within two years."

"Of course." Liu Yuqian nodded, "Believe me, I will repay the money as quickly as possible."

"Okay." Zhou Yun nodded.

This is an emergency.

After Zhou Yun met Liu Yuqian, he called Zhou Lan and asked her to help investigate whether what Liu Yuqian said was true.

After confirming the facts, Zhou Yun sent the money to Liu Yuqian.

Liu Yuqian sent her a series of thanks, and finally said: Xiaoyun, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back.

Zhou Yun replied with an OK.

Zhou Yun chatted with Song Chi about it.

Song Chi said: "Well, there are many people around me who are engaged in this kind of gambling, but most of them fail. Zuo Jing also did it before. In order to speed up the development, Zuo Jing signed a contract with someone at that time. To complete a profit of 3.5 million, guess how many movies I made in those three years?"

"How many?" Zhou Yun asked.

"Excluding guest appearances and supporting roles, there are thirteen shows just for starring roles." Song Chi said, "At the same time, more than [-] shows have been recorded, and there are ten shows with permanent guests."

"So many?" Zhou Yun gasped.

"Yeah, that's why I refused to renew my contract and set up my own company, which was greatly affected by those three years." Song Chi said, "Other artists are betting against others by themselves, no matter how hard they work, the rewards are their own. Yes, but at that time I didn't have any shares in Zuo Jing, I was just an artist who got a share according to the contract, and they arranged for me to work hard for three years."

"Too perverted."

"Chengqian Entertainment should have wanted to keep you with shares," Song Chi said.

"Then it's better to open a studio and let them invest and buy shares freely." Zhou Yun said, "To be honest, since the establishment of my own studio, He Yong has no more constraints on me. Chengqian Entertainment can only get money every year. Money, but I can no longer interfere with my work arrangements, I am going to let Xiaojing and the others sign to my studio if their contract with Chengqian Entertainment expires."

"It's not impossible, but it's hard to say. No one knows what level they will develop in a few years."

"That's right, maybe people want to start their own company by then."

"That's a good thing too." Song Chi said, "There's no need to tie everyone to yourself, as long as your friends develop well, that's fine."

"Ah."

On the day of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Zhou Yun and Song Chi met.

Song Chi looked tired.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun felt distressed.

Song Chi said: "I'm really going to be tortured to death by Zuo Hang."

Zhou Yun comforted: "Slow work and meticulous work, come on."

Song Chi sighed, and said, "It's true to work slowly and carefully, but this makes "Jianyuntai" need additional funds. My company is currently working on several projects at the same time, and the cash flow is already tight."

"Then do you have enough money in your hand? If not, I'll lend you first?" Zhou Yun said, "Anyway, I haven't spent any money in the past few years."

In the past few years, Zhou Yun has made a lot of money, but he really didn't spend much.

Living in Song Chi's house, he didn't buy his own house, but bought a car. Other than that, he didn't spend a lot of money and saved a huge sum of money.

Song Chi said: "I don't need it for now, I've already gone to urge the settlement of the final payment of "Being the Mother". Fortunately, the TV stations after "Being the Mother" have sold several rounds of airing, and it can be turned around for the time being. It is really urgent, so I can only ask You asked for help."

Zhou Yun: "Don't worry, if you have money, I will give you the bottom line."

She never thought that she would say such confident words to Song Chi Neng one day.

There is one thing to say, if Song Chi hadn't debuted early and became popular for many years, in the past two years alone, Song Chi may not have earned as much as Zhou Yun.

Song Chi has not made as many films as Zhou Yun in the past two years, and many of them are his own films, and the remuneration is directly converted into investment, and he will not get money if it is not broadcast.

"By the way, is it true that some overseas copyrights of "Being a Mother" have not been sold?" Zhou Yun suddenly remembered and asked.

Song Chi said: "I have contacted, but overseas companies are basically not interested in the subject matter of this drama. Either the price they offer is too low, or they just don't want to buy it."

"Give me a copy of the playbook, and I'll ask for it for you. I also met a lot of people in the overseas film department when I went out this time." Zhou Yun said, "Although it may not be sold at a high price. price, but if it is sold in more countries and regions, it is also a benefit.”

This is the power of channels.

Although some products do not sell much in a single market, their channels are spread over hundreds of countries all over the world, adding up to a lot.

Song Chi didn't refuse, just nodded and agreed.

If "Being a Mother" can make a fortune from overseas sales, it can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need now.

Song Chi wasn't exaggerating, several dramas were really rushed together to start filming.

He starred in the movie "Jianyuntai", a new drama starring Zhang Hongyu, and a sitcom.

Three films started filming at the same time, which puts a lot of pressure on a company's cash flow.

The two were talking about the company. Suddenly, the director of the Spring Festival Gala who was in charge of their show came to talk to them about the details of the stage.

The two had no choice but to stop talking and focus on the rehearsal first.

This director is a young girl in her twenties, wearing a pair of glasses, she looks quiet, but she works very quickly.

She is also good at expressing, and in a few words, she told Song Chi and Zhou Yun about the design of the show by the director team.

Zhou Yun said, "I only have one question."

The little girl asked, "What's the problem?"

"I'm worried that my singing will be out of tune. I really don't know how to sing." Zhou Yun said very sincerely, "If you didn't invite me, I would be really embarrassed to come. I wonder if you have heard me sing?"

The little girl was stunned.

She probably didn't expect that what Zhou Yun was going to say was out of tune.

To be honest, many celebrities sing out of tune. After all, not everyone is a singer.

But few people are so candid to expose this as a problem.

"Uh……"

After the general director heard about this problem, he said, "Xiao Yun, that's right. Let's try to practice this song well. If we can't practice well, we will also record a version in advance, and we will play that version when the time comes."

Zhou Yun: "...Ah, is it lip-syncing?"

The chief director said: "We can't let audiences across the country listen to songs that are out of tune, right? This is the Spring Festival Gala."

Zhou Yun took a deep breath and said, "Oh, so I really can't participate in any singing activities."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "If Song Chi is not allowed to sing this song, I won't open my mouth?"

"Then what are you doing standing next to him?" the chief director asked.

"How about I do a martial arts performance?" Zhou Yun asked, "Actually, I'm doing movement training recently, and I'm going to play a killer soon. I think my martial arts performance must be better than singing."

The chief director looked at the young and beautiful female star in front of him speechlessly, and said, "This song we sing is about love. Do you perform martial arts in the love song performance?"

Zhou Yun sighed in embarrassment.

Song Chi knew that Zhou Yun was a little afraid of singing.

But in this matter, he has no good way.

Zhou Yun and he were called by the top to perform at the Spring Festival Gala. If they didn't sing, Zhou Yun could only recite poems or perform sketches.

But other people's sketches are honed out for half a year or a year. Whose sketch is she going to act at this time?
No matter which skit she plays, another actress is bound to be replaced.

If so, Zhou Yun would never accept it.

In the end Zhou Yun had no choice but to bite the bullet and sing this song with Song Chi.

The chief director listened to the whole scene and said: "You can sing well, you are not tone deaf."

"Don't you think I'm weak and I can't make a high note?" Zhou Yun asked.

She herself was embarrassed.

The chief director said: "It's okay, you are an actor, and the audience doesn't have such high requirements for your singing."

Zhou Yun sighed when he heard the chief director say that.

The two left the studio and went back to the lounge.

There are many staff and actors coming and going in the corridor.

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the dancers are the most numerous.

There are many dancers in every show to enhance the magnificence of the whole stage.

As soon as Zhou Yun and Song Chi walked to the door of the lounge, they heard someone crying inside.

Zhou Yun's footsteps stopped.

She glanced inside in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

There was a man lying on the table crying.

Song Chi shook his head.

Singer Zhang Huaiqiu, who also came to the rehearsal today, is also back.

Seeing the situation inside, he was a little surprised, went in immediately, and asked, "Xiaohe, what's wrong with you?"

The singer crying on the table is Guan Xiaohe, a young singer who became popular this year.

Guan Xiaohe raised her head, revealing her glowing red eyes, she looked at Zhang Huaiqiu aggrievedly, and said, "My show has been banned."

Zhou Yun and Song Chi also went in and sat down, and when they heard what Guan Xiaohe said to Zhang Huaiqiu, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

As the largest and most watched event in the country every year, there should not be too many programs that want to be on the Spring Festival Gala every year. Because of various reasons such as the length of the broadcast, program orientation, star cafes, and the proportion of different program types, many will be killed. programme.

The same goes for the rehearsal session.

Guan Xiaohe, as a young singer, was on the Spring Festival Gala this time to sing a chorus with an old senior, but it turned out that he was dying. The old senior was suddenly revealed to have an illegitimate child and cheated.

She was directly implicated and killed along with the show.

Zhou Yun and Song Chi heard that everyone explained the ins and outs of this matter clearly, and they both felt that this Guan Xiaohe was very cool.

Because of something that had nothing to do with me, the program that I worked so hard to prepare for was killed.

Not only is it hard work, but for a young singer like Guan Xiaohe who has just become popular to get a ticket for the Spring Festival Gala, she herself and the brokerage company do not know how many contacts she made to make a successful match.

Zhou Yun thought of himself again, alas, forget it, there is nothing to worry about, since the Spring Festival Gala needs her, it is her duty to go out of tune again.

Zhou Yun is not a pure artist character.

Her thinking has been influenced by "not to cause trouble for others" and "to take care of the overall situation as much as possible" since she was a child. She is hard-spoken and keeps refusing, but if others really need her, as long as she can do it, she often feels that it is her duty to do so.

"Xiaoyun." Song Chi suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, "I have an idea!"

Zhou Yun looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you think?"
