Chapter 598 Prejudice
The Asian Championship qualifiers were held in the island country.
The knockout rounds are held in Kimchi Country.
The semi-finals are held in India.
The finals will be held in the Magic City of China.
The reason why the organizer, namely Character Jump, invited Shao Yang to be a guest in the Asian competition is precisely because Shao Yang now lives in Shanghai, and when it comes to which artist is the most popular in Shanghai, Shao Yang is the undisputed number one.
After the national competition at the end of April, Zhou Qian and Hu Qi went to the island country with their managers.
The country has also entered the Labor Day holiday, and the school Niuniu attended suddenly had a five-day holiday, so she didn't have to take time off to make up classes like office workers.
Liu Hongyu, who had not seen her granddaughter for a long time, came to pick up Niuniu on the morning of May 1st, saying that she was going to take Niuniu to the amusement park. When Shaoyang heard that her mother-in-law wanted to take Niuniu to the amusement park alone, Shaoyang quickly asked Xue Jiajia to accompany her.
go.
There were already a lot of people outside on May Day, and with an old man and a young child outside, Shaoyang was really not at ease.
Xue Jiajia knew Shao Yang's concerns, so she called Qin Yuhan and Xu Liang, who had nothing to do at home.
Shaoyang himself was not idle at home. He first went to the company with the script of "The Wandering Earth 2" and asked the technicians of Qingmeng Vision to draw many props in the movie according to his imagination...
Upgraded versions of moss, mechanical dogs, quantum computers, digital life cards, predator drones, delivery vehicles, etc.
After getting the pictures of these props, Shao Yang sent them directly to Zhang Sizhe.
Zhang Sizhe held a meeting in the company soon after receiving the pictures. He displayed all the photos sent by Shao Yang on the projector and said with some excitement: "These are our tasks for the next period of time."
"Boss, what are these? They look weird."
"Props in "The Wandering Earth 2"."
"ah?"
People in the conference room looked at each other.
How does our company get involved with "The Wandering Earth 2"?
"So everyone has to keep the tasks for the next period of time secret. What we have to do is to program these props. As for the hardware, I will talk to other companies. Let's start with MOSS."
"This is simple, just implant a chatgpt directly, and then set a fixed dialogue according to the lines."
"Well, then you will be responsible for this. Xiao Zhang and Xiaoqiang, you two will cooperate."
"no problem."
"Boss, let me ask you a question, how did you get this job?"
Zhang Sizhe smiled and said: "My daughter and Shaoyang's daughter are classmates and deskmates."
"So that's it."
Zhang Sizhe attaches great importance to Shao Yang's cooperation this time. If he can cooperate with Shao Yang to complete "The Wandering Earth 2" this time, the company's reputation in the industry will definitely increase after the movie is released.
In addition, Shaoyang is definitely not the kind of person who would let others help him for nothing. Not to mention the money, if he can satisfy Shaoyang, he can also make Shaoyang owe him a favor.
Once we collaborate, there will be a second time. Maybe there will be "The Wandering Earth 3", "The Wandering Earth 4" or other series of science fiction movies.
the other side.
After Shao Yang got these props, he asked someone to help him contact a heavy industry company called Xugong Group that Zhang Sizhe mentioned to him last time.
Shaoyang also searched on the Internet and found out that this company called XCMG Group is not simple at all. In terms of mechanical equipment, it ranks third in the world and even cooperates with relevant national aerospace departments.
The relevant person in charge of XCMG Group was also very puzzled when they heard that Shaoyang was looking for him.
You, an entertainment agency, are asking me, a company that manufactures machinery, to do what?
Although he couldn't understand it, the person in charge still called Shao Yang back. After learning that Shaoyang wanted to customize a batch of heavy machinery to be used in "The Wandering Earth 2", the person in charge simply thought about it and directly
He agreed and invited Shaoyang to visit the company.
It is normal for the person in charge to agree so readily. After all, the first part of "The Wandering Earth" has already caused a sensation in China. If he can cooperate with "The Wandering Earth 2", it will be equivalent to a free advertisement, not to mention Shaoyang
He also said he would give me money.
There is no reason not to do this kind of thing that makes you rich and famous.
After taking care of the movie props, all that remains is the casting of actors.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is the prequel of "The Wandering Earth 1". Except for Liu Peiqiang, basically the main cast has been changed. If it were someone else, casting might be a difficult problem, but for Shao Yang, this is all
It's nothing.
At least 90% of these domestic actors can join the cast the next day with just a phone call.
This is Shaoyang's confidence in himself.
Shao Yang, the other character, didn't worry too much and just made a phone call to Liu Ronghua in advance.
Liu Ronghua, who was already semi-retired, saw the call from Shaoyang and answered the call immediately.
"Hey, Brother Hua."
"Shaoyang."
"Brother Hua, I won't beat around the bush. I have reserved a leading role for you in "The Wandering Earth 2". The film will either start shooting in September or October, or it will start shooting next spring. Do you think you are free?"
Liu Ronghua particularly likes "The Wandering Earth 1". When he heard this, he repeatedly agreed: "Yes, of course, I will make time even if I don't have time."
"Then it's settled. I'll give you a call when the crew is ready."
"No problem, I've been watching the [World Singing Competition]. The World Competition is next month. You try to get a good ranking and bring glory to us Chinese singers."
Shao Yang also laughed and said: "Haha, I can only say try my best."
The two exchanged pleasantries, said goodbye and hung up the phone.
…
The preliminaries of the [World Singing Competition] were held smoothly in the island country.
Three rounds down.
Four of the fifteen singers promoted by Huaxia were eliminated. Three of the four singers were old singers with strong local characteristics. No matter what folk songs they sang, there were still people at home to support them, but when they went abroad, they
Not many people support singing this style of song.
Both Zhou Qian and Hu Huqi stayed, and Zhou Qian's points in the qualifying rounds were particularly high, ranking second, only a few thousand votes behind first place.
Even many netizens from island countries commented online that Zhou Qian's voice is simply the sound of nature.
In the last round of the preliminaries, he sang the Chinese and Japanese versions of "The Wind Rises" together, which also attracted countless fans.
Netizens from island countries are quite objective in this regard, unlike netizens from kimchi countries.
Anyway, no matter how well you sing, as long as there are Kimchi singers around, they will always be the best singers in the world.
This can also be regarded as the ‘feature’ of Kimchi Country.
…
May 10th.
On the plane from the island country to Kimchi Country.
Hu Qi looked out the window and murmured: "I feel like it will be difficult for me to advance to the knockout rounds."
Zhou Qian said: "Not necessarily."
"I'm in the lower zone, and my ranking is very low. People in the upper zone will definitely rush to make me their opponent."
"Well."
Hu Qi said: "What's more, the main venue is in Kimchi Country. There was a Kimchi Country singer who plagiarized my song before, and the company filed a lawsuit with him. This matter was quite big. I feel that the audience here will be dissatisfied with it."
I'm biased."
"Sister Ziqi, don't think too much. The programs are all live broadcast anyway, and it's not just netizens from Kimchi Country who can vote. Just sing your own song well."
"Well, it's not easy to reach the national level."
Chapter completed!
