Chapter 30: The Thirtieth Cake


After Yu Nian made the tea and drank it all, he received a reply from Xie You, which was just one word, "Yeah.

Sitting lazily on the sofa, Yu Nian leaned against the pillow and didn't notice a slight smile on his lips.

He typed a few words and was about to reply, but unexpectedly another message popped up.

"nice."

At this time, Yu Nian couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

He touched his lower abdomen and felt that if his physical training during this period was not in vain, he would at least feel confident.

After deleting the content that he wanted to go back to before, Yu Nian asked instead, "Will there be takeout today?"

This time the reply came quickly, "Yes, there are two kinds."

Yu Nian laughed again Looking forward to it.

But before the special takeout was delivered, Meng Yuan's call came first.

"Every year, just now, the ratings have reached 3.9."

Before Meng Yuan could finish his voice, He Qiubai was talking next to him, "Oh my, my, why are those programs in the same time slot so unbeatable?"

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Director He, you are inflated.

OK, ok, inflate as you like.

Anyway, don't forget the big red envelope every year."

He turned to Yu Nian again, "There are three more topics with your name.

It entered the top 20, and in the top 15 of the hot search list, Tianlai related accounted for more than half."

"Lao Meng, you are too strict.

These results can't make me inflated."

Yu Nian did not interrupt, but listened to the bickering between Meng Yuan and He Qiubai with a smile in his eyes.

After the two of them finished arguing, he said, "I really want to thank Director He for giving me this opportunity this time."

He Qiubai smiled and said, "It's all mutual.

I want to thank you too.

It would be risky to use a newcomer.

Either the show will become popular and make a lot of money, or it will lose everything.

Fortunately, you and Xia Mingxi are here.

My show holds up half the sky, otherwise I wouldn’t be in the mood to eat barbecue and drink beer here.”

Meng Yuan hummed from the side, "Old He, shouldn't you thank me properly?

After all, I was the one who pulled you in front of me."

"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you."

The two finished their beers, and He Qiubai's tone became more serious, "In this circle, there are always more people who are good-looking, can sing well, and can dance. , but you are unique.

Yu Nian, work hard and play well with your brother Meng, and you will definitely become famous in the future. " Yu Nian sincerely thanked you again, "Director He, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Nian looked at the darkened screen and suddenly felt that the future, which had been so foggy before, was finally a little clearer, at least he could vaguely see the road.

He was lost in thought when the message alert on his phone rang again.

He opened his phone and found a message not from Xie You, but from Rong Yue, saying that he had obtained the qualification to enter the auction venue for him.

Yu Nian calculated the time and found that the internal shooting time was on the second day after the preview of the movie's promotional song, which happened to be offset, so he replied, "I will definitely be there on time, please trouble Uncle Rong."

After replying to the message, I remembered what Meng Yuan had just said, and Yu Nian opened Weibo and took a look.

Sure enough, Tianlai was extremely popular, and the sixth most searched position was none other than Xia Mingxi.

Yu Nian clicked in and found that 20 minutes ago, Xia Mingxi updated his Weibo: "Xia Mingxi, everyone, can you please stop posting photos of my bare butt when I was a child?

I also want to lose face qaq" The comment section is full of comments.

Yu Nian also forwarded it with bad intentions, "No.

Xia Mingxi: Xia Mingxi, everyone, can you please stop posting photos of my bare butt?

I also want to lose face, qaq."

As soon as the transfer was completed, Xia Mingxi's WeChat message came over and nine heartbroken emoticons were sent in a row.

Yu Nian replied with an emoticon with arms akimbo.

"Xia Mingxi: We're not brothers anymore, right?

I just found out that I will be filming on set the day after tomorrow.

My mother even packed my suitcase for me."

Yu Nian’s hand paused as he typed, and he was surprised, “So fast.”

"Xia Mingxi: Yes, it's a very good crew.

My mother found a friend and managed to get me in.

I have to work with their schedule.

I have to go there in advance to prepare.

I'll set off almost the day after tomorrow."

Yu Nian understood and typed, "Let's meet again when you come back."

"Xia Mingxi: We agreed, every year you must not forget to wait for me for more than half a month and play together when I come back."

On the morning of the 11th, Meng Yuan drove over to pick him up.

Seeing Yu Nian abandoning his crutches and wearing the white shirt he wore when they first met, with clear eyes and a clean and youthful air, Meng Yuan realized again that Yu Nian was only twenty-one years old.

He recovered and smiled, "Why are you wearing this again instead of buying some expensive clothes and shoes?

I heard before that AJ's sneakers seem to have a co-branded model again, and various brands have also released new autumn styles."

Yu Nian got into the car and fastened his seat belt.

He smiled and shook his head, "I haven't bought any.

I just need enough clothes to wear.

I don't really like buying clothes."

In the past, when my grandparents were still alive, the family's clothes were all made by an old tailor.

The style is simple and the material is good.

One piece can be worn again and again for a long time, so he doesn't have the habit of buying new clothes frequently.

They just have enough to wear. menu They are wholesaled by the dozen.

If I tell them, no one will believe me."

Speaking of this, Yu Nian was curious, "What about you, Brother Meng?

Where do you usually spend your money?"

Meng Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Some time ago, I liked hunting for antiques.

I studied it seriously for a few years, but I still couldn't stand it.

There were too many fakes.

Later, I liked investing in collectible jewelry.

Then I liked buying houses.

Now I like saving money.

Watching A bunch of numbers make me feel good.”

"By the way, let's get down to business," Meng Yuan remembered, "You should go over there in a moment and you should meet up with You You and He Junyu.

Previous news said that You You's audition was in the afternoon, but Director Xu's schedule was tight, so I just let it all go.

It’s morning.”

Yu Nian nodded, "Brother Meng, don't worry.

I've memorized the lyrics and music.

I even sang and recorded it last night.

After listening to it, I'm quite satisfied."

Meng Yuan was a little more confident, but he still advised him first, "Don't be discouraged if you are not selected.

You have just taken the first successful step in your career.

There will be many opportunities in the future."

Yu Nian knew that Meng Yuan was worried about his mentality, "Yes, I know."

"Let's take it slow.

Don't worry.

If I follow you, Brother Meng, I will definitely have to eat your flesh."

The elevator went up to the 30th floor, and as soon as I stepped out of the elevator door, someone came to guide me.

Yu Nian and the two followed him inside and arrived outside a recording studio.

Recognizing the person standing at a glance, Meng Yuan greeted him with a smile on his face, "Director Xu, Producer Ning, long time no see."

Xu Xianglan is in his forties or fifties, dressed casually, with only black and gray colors all over his body.

The lines at the corners of his mouth are very deep, which makes him look a little awkward, but when he smiles, his expression is very gentle.

He shook hands with Meng Yuan, and then turned his attention to Yu Nian, "I listened to all the songs you sang on Tianlai, and they were very good."

Yu Nian was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Thank you, Director Xu."

He smiled and rolled his eyes again, "I like watching your movies very much.

I have watched every one of them more than once.

I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet you in person."

Xu Xianglan raised his eyebrows and smiled at the person next to him, "Most of the films I made are dull literary and artistic films.

I didn't expect that some children would like them so much."

He asked Yu Nian in a gentle tone, "Which one do you like best?

"

Yu Nian did not hesitate, "I like the National Scholars and Survival the most, especially Survival.

The scene where Yun Lai committed suicide in the house at the end impressed me the most.

I closed my eyes for several days and that was the scene."

Xu Xianglan didn't expect that Yu Nian would like Survival.

It was his very early work and the one he was personally most satisfied with, so he asked a few more questions, "Then do you think Yun Lai should commit suicide?"

Yu Nian thought for a few seconds and said seriously, "There is no right or wrong.

When a person is alive, he must have a breath and a thought to support him.

Yunlai means that the breath is gone and the thought is gone."

Xu Xianglan didn't say he was right or wrong.

He patted Yu Nian's shoulder and said, "Please wait a moment.

There are two more singers coming.

We will start again when they are all here."

I went to the lounge next to me with Meng Yuan.

There was no one inside.

The staff brought two cups of tea, put them down and went out.

Meng Yuan was careful and didn't let Yu Nian drink the tea here.

He handed him a thermos cup.

He didn't ask if Yu Nian really liked Xu Xianglan's movies.

He only introduced, "The guy next to Director Xu is the producer of this movie.

Ning Ge is very low-key, but he chose a singer for the promotional song, and the director and producer are here.

It seems that they really take the movie seriously."

Yu Nian wrote down the names and numbers of the people.

After chatting for a few words, he took out the lyrics sheet to consolidate his memory.

Meng Yuan didn't bother him and took out his cell phone to do his own business.

Not long after, the door to the lounge opened, and You You and He Junyu arrived together.

The three people greeted each other politely, but they were all competitors and had never met before.

No one pretended to be warm, and the entire lounge fell silent.

Soon, the staff came in and took He Junyu out.

Ten minutes later, Youyou also went out.

Meng Yuan looked away and found that Yu Nian was calmer than him, "Don't be nervous."

Yu Nian looked away from the lyrics, "It's useless to be nervous.

It's better to memorize the lyrics twice more."

Meng Yuan thought: "This seems to be the truth."

After waiting for almost twenty minutes, the door opened again, and the staff politely said, "Director Xu asked me to call you."

Yu Nian thanked him.

Entering the recording studio, all sounds are isolated outside the glass.

Yu Nian put on his headphones without looking at the expressions of the people standing outside.

Xu Xianglan stood with Ning Ge, looking at Yu Nian standing in front of the microphone with a critical eye, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the appearance and temperament are good?"

Ning Ge crossed his arms and said, "Director Xu, after all, you are the director and I am the director.

You choose your own roles.

Why do you ask me?"

"Just say it if you are too lazy to use your brain."

Xu Xianglan pondered, "I have to take another look and think about it myself."

Ning Ge nodded and concentrated on listening to Yu Nian's singing.

When he was waiting for the interlude, he asked, "What do you think of his singing?"

Xu Xianglan did not hesitate to ask this question, "Much better than You You, much better than He Junyu."

"That's true, but he doesn't have as many fans as Youyou.

Although he dominated the hot searches some time ago and his popularity has exploded, the foundation of his popularity is still too weak and unstable."

Ninge tapped his fingers twice on his arm, " I choose Youyou.”

Xu Xianglan didn't speak immediately, but still said what he said before, "I'll think about it more."

The results will not be available on the spot and will take a few days to notify the agent.

After singing, Yu Nian came out of the recording studio, said hello politely, and then left with Meng Yuan.

In the elevator, Meng Yuan did not turn a corner, "This time, I had a few chats with You You's agent.

Judging from the situation, You You is quite favored."

Yu Nian's expression did not change when he heard this, "I made no mistakes in singing this time.

If I didn't get selected, I tried my best."

"It's all over the people," Meng Yuan sighed again, "Nowadays, the pre-publicity of a movie is becoming more and more important.

Even if it's a big production by a famous director, it has to be popular for the sake of box office.

I've heard You You's live performance, but it can't compare to you, the only one What can be compared is that his fan base is stronger than yours.”

Yu Nian went over to persuade Meng Yuan, "Let's take it slow.

I will be very good in the future."

The dark clouds in Meng Yuan's heart were cleared and he laughed, "Yes, yes, you will definitely be very powerful in the future."

In the afternoon, Yu Nian continued to go to the company to take professional classes.

His foot injury had basically recovered.

In order not to affect his future dancing or suffer from various sequelae such as habitual sprains, he had to keep up with ankle strength training and the like.

After returning home in the evening, Yu Nian put on a mask and went to a nearby mall to buy ribs and kelp.

After passing by the shelves, he chose a gray thermal bucket.

After carefully handling the ingredients and stewing them, turning on a low fire, Yu Nian went to the study to flip a page and settle the accounts.

The money from the contract with Xinghai, the payment from the live broadcast, plus Tianlai's bonus and Yue's appearance fee, plus the theme song written for Yu Qing's movie, the remuneration from the film studio totaled seven figures.

Set aside the change and put the rest in the account.

Yu Nian had estimated the price, and as long as he didn't encounter a bidding rival that was not short of money, or a malicious bid, it should be no problem to buy the thing back.

The pork ribs soup had been simmering for almost two hours, and the aroma of food emanated from the kitchen.

Yu Nian estimated that it was almost time and was about to enter the kitchen when he suddenly heard the doorbell.

After confirming who was coming, Yu Nian opened the door.

It was the same man in a black suit as before.

The other person handed over a small boxy box with a card attached.

Yu Nian opened the card first, and what he saw was some familiar handwriting, with iron drawings and silver hooks.

It was very beautiful, "I tasted it during dinner.

It was delicious."

So you just want to try it for yourself?

Yu Nian laughed, raised his head and said to the visitor, "Please wait for two minutes, I have something I want you to take back."

Entering the kitchen, Yu Nian took out a new, cleaned thermos bucket from the cabinet, and took some pork rib soup from the pot.

After tightening the lid and making sure that the soup would not leak out, Yu Nian raised it to the door.

The other party took the thermos bucket, nodded to him, turned and left.

Qu Xiaoran came out of the dinner party, drove his newly bought sports car directly to Xie's house, and entered Xie You's study by familiar routes.

Opening the door, warm lights poured in, Qu Xiaoran stepped on the light carpet, turned her finger around the car key, and raised her chin, "Xie Xiaoyou, you called me twice in such a hurry to ask me to I must come here, have you encountered something important?"

Xie You inhaled gently and pointed to the thermos bucket placed at hand, "Do you want to hear its origin?"
