Charlotte is troubled.

In that world, although it is not the highest-grossing comedy movie, it is still one of the few comedy movies with a box office of more than 1 billion.

The most important thing is that the cost of this movie was only 20 million.

This cost 20 million even after hiring a series of celebrities who were already popular at the time. If we put aside the salaries of stars like Shen Teng and Yin Zheng, the cost would probably be only 15 million at most.

This is also the reason why Shao Yang chose this movie as his debut film. Of course, the biggest reason is that he happened to meet the people of Happy Twist.

Shao Yang had made movies in that world. When he first crossed over to become an actor, he also studied film knowledge for a period of time. In addition, Shao Yang had watched this movie many times. He remembered every plot and every laugh. It was very clear, so when he was writing the script, he rarely interrupted it. It was as if he copied the pictures in his mind directly in words, which was extremely smooth.

From the eighth and ninth day of the lunar month to the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Shao Yang spent these five or six days writing the script. Basically, he could write ten to twenty thousand words every day, and he quickly finished most of the plot of the movie.

The fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Shao Yang stayed in the recording studio for most of the day. It was in the afternoon that Qin Yuhan and the others came to the house, and Shao Yang came out of the recording studio.

"Happy New Year, big star~"

"Happy New Year."

It was the New Year before the first lunar month. Shaoyang quickly asked the three people to sit down and asked Xue Jiajia to make three cups of tea. Seeing that Shaoyang was still wearing headphones and holding a notebook in his hand, Cheng Tingting asked: "What are the big stars doing at home?" ?”

"I'm going to attend the Douyin Lantern Festival party tomorrow night. I wrote a new song."

"Wow."

The three girls shouted in unison, and Xue Jiajia rolled her eyes and said, "Wow, what the hell are you three doing here today?"

"Congratulations to the big stars for the New Year."

Shao Yang smiled and said: "I wish you a happy New Year, but I didn't prepare any red envelopes for you."

Xue Jiajia said hurriedly: "They are all young rich women, how could they ask for your money?"

"You can't say that."

Qin Yuhan said deliberately: "Of course we don't want the money given by others, but if it is the money Shaoyang gives us, we will not only want it, but also keep it well."

Shen Shuhua and Cheng Tingting also smirked and echoed: "That's right."

Xue Jiajia rolled her eyes at the three of them and didn't want to pay attention to them.

Shen Shuhua held the hot tea, blew it for a long time, took a sip and asked: "Jiajia, will you go to the Lantern Festival party with Shao Yang tomorrow night?"

"Of course."

"Then can I go?"

"You?" Xue Jiajia raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Shuhua said curiously: "I'm going to gain some knowledge. I haven't been to that kind of place yet."

"Then I'll go too!"

Shaoyang closed the notebook, took off his headphones and asked, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, don't you want to stay at home with your parents?"

"How can there be a Lantern Festival in Shanghai? It's not a legal holiday. Many companies don't even take holidays."

"That's right."

Shao Yang said with a smile: "We have to go to the countryside during the festival. According to the custom in my hometown, every village will have lion and dragon dances tomorrow night. It's basically the same as the Chinese New Year, with firecrackers set off all night."

"Big star, will you take the three of us with you tomorrow night?"

Shao Yang looked at Xue Jiajia, as if asking for Xue Jiajia's opinion. Qin Yuhan and the others looked at each other and stepped forward quickly. Shen Shuhua and Cheng Tingting squatted on both sides of Xue Jiajia, holding their little fists to help Xue Jiajia beat her legs. Qin Yuhan walked behind Xue Jiajia and helped squeeze her shoulders.

The three people were obviously trying to please Xue Jiajia.

"Empress, what do you think of the strength?"

"It could be a little heavier."

"What now?"

“Not bad~”

"Empress Qi, then tomorrow night..."

"This..." Xue Jiajia deliberately did not answer immediately, but pretended to 'consider' it for a long time before nodding: "Okay, then I will take you with me, but the three of you must follow me closely. If anyone asks,

Just say you are a makeup artist from Shaoyang."

"According to the decree."

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

When Yang Lan came to the house to pick up Shao Yang, Qin Yuhan and the others were already here.

Although Yang Lan met them for the first time, seeing the temperaments of Shen Shuhua and Qin Yuhan, he guessed that their family backgrounds must not be simple.

Otherwise Xue Jiajia would not have brought them home.

Shao Yang happened to change his clothes and came downstairs. When he saw Yang Lan coming, he explained: "The three of them are Jiajia's best friends. They want to go to the Lantern Festival Gala with me tonight. There should be no problem."

Yang Lan nodded and said: "No problem, no problem, but after I sent your new song to the contact person on Douyin this morning, they changed your show to the finale."

"The finale?"

Qin Yuhan said in surprise: "Will the big star be the last one to go on stage?"

Yang Lan smiled and shook her head, and then explained: "In our industry, the penultimate program is called the finale, and the penultimate program is called the press. Generally, the finale is for singers with high traffic, and the ones who press the stage are seniority."

A singer with a high seniority, I heard that the headliner of Douyin’s Lantern Festival Gala this year is Liu Ronghua.”

"Liu Ronghua! Liu Ronghua, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Xiangjiang?!" The three girls were all shocked.

"Yes, that's him."

Shao Yang also knows him. The environments in the two worlds are generally similar. Although the film and television music works are different, there are many stars in the two worlds whose resumes are very similar. For example, there are four heavenly kings in that world, and there are also in this world. This is Liu Ronghua.

One of the four kings in this world, and her nickname in the circle is Hua Zai. She was a very popular artist in the 1990s.

The three songs "Perfume", "Neon Lights" and "Dance" are his masterpieces and are still widely sung today. Later, he crossed over and became an actor, starring in a series of police and robber films like "The Wire", and also

Having gained a large number of fans, Liu Ronghua is definitely one of the most successful artists in the entertainment industry.

Qin Yuhan immediately said: "Shao Yang, if you can help me find Brother Hua to get an autograph or a photo, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"Me too."

"And me."

Shao Yang smiled and said: "If I can meet him, I will try my best, but there are a lot of people backstage. Tonight, there are only three of you. Follow Sister Lan and Jiajia closely, and don't wander around."

"I know."

"Sister Lan, let's go then."

"Um."

Fortunately, Yang Lan drove a nanny car, otherwise she wouldn't be able to fit in even one car.

I left home at 4:30 and arrived at the Mercedes-Benz Arena at around 6 o'clock. This is also one of the venues where concerts in the Magic City are often held. Because it was built the latest, this venue looks much more fashionable, but

The rent for one night costs six figures, and renting for one day during this time period is estimated to cost millions, but Douyin is rich, so this little money is nothing.

After Yang Lan met with the staff, a group of people came to a lounge backstage under the leadership of the staff.

For large parties like this, generally speaking, bigger celebrities will bring their own hairstylists and makeup artists, while less famous celebrities will use makeup artists temporarily hired by Douyin.

When A-list artists attend events, they will be surrounded by five or six people, including managers, executive managers, assistants, publicists, makeup artists, etc.

Second-tier artists may bring three people with them. In addition to their managers and assistants, they are makeup artists.

Third-tier artists, including artists below the third-tier, basically only have their managers around them.

The makeup artist is also very important in the team. For some artists who rely on their faces for a living, the makeup artist will take half of the credit. After all, the current makeup technology can achieve the effect of "changing the head".

Especially female celebrities, some have completely different faces in front of the camera and in real life.

Now the traffic in Shaoyang has increased, and the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala has not passed yet. With so many people around, no one will find it strange.

Qin Yuhan looked at the environment in the lounge, sat on the sofa and said, "The backstage is no different from what I imagined."

"Jiajia, when Shao Yang comes on stage later, can we see his performance on stage?"

Xue Jiajia rolled her eyes and said: "The party will be broadcast live on Douyin. With a delay of up to one minute, you can watch it with your mobile phone."

"That's it~" Cheng Tingting said with a smile: "I wonder why there is no TV in here."

Shao Yang glanced at the time, stood up and said, "I'm going to see if Brother Hua is here. If he is, I'll go say hello to him."

Yang Lan nodded and agreed with Shao Yang's idea.

No matter how big an artist is, it is better to keep a low profile or try to be as low-key as possible. If you are too arrogant, you will easily be noticed and may cause problems. It is better to make friends with more people in the entertainment industry than to offend some people.

Shao Yang just got up and walked to the door.

"Dong dong~"

There was a knock on the door.
