Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 10 I'm truly impressed.

The film "The Legendary Fok Yuan-gap" is a work produced by Li Lianjie Studio and directed by Yu Shan.

Filming has been completed and the movie has entered the post-production stage. A trailer has already been released online, and more trailers will be released gradually until the movie is released.

The production of the movie's theme song was entrusted to Fengtai Group. This project was listed as an S-level project by Fengtai Group's music division. The exact amount is unclear, but it is certainly no less than seven figures.

You're the one, my little darling.

After making the decision, he began producing the music. This song was much more complex than "Anhe Bridge". The instruments used in the arrangement alone included a bass drum, erhu, guzheng, pipa, flute and drum kit, etc.

As he typed out the lyrics, he mentally selected suitable performers. He decided to ask Li Yan for the drum; their previous collaborations had gone well. He'd also ask his grandfather if he'd be willing to play the erhu; compared to the morin khuur, there were many options for the erhu. And the guzheng…

Xu Jinyan was still busy until after 5 p.m. when she received a message from Ms. Yan. In short, the message was that the old lady wanted to cook something delicious for her eldest grandson to celebrate the success of yesterday's competition.

Xu Jinyan stopped what she was doing and took the subway to her grandmother's house. The matter should be true, but the order should be reversed. She probably persuaded her grandmother to treat her grandson, which led to this family dinner.

……

……

6:30 p.m., Garden Building residential area.

The entire Xu family, except for her cousin who is still in high school, gathered together.

Xu Jinyan looked at her family members around her and missed them very much, after all, it had been a full seventy-two hours since she last saw them.

After everyone was seated, the old lady raised her glass first, and the others followed suit, "Congratulations to Jinyan on her great achievement in the competition, cheers everyone!"

"Cheers."

With a "bang," glasses clinked, and everyone finished their drinks.

Then everyone started eating, and Xu Jinyan poured himself another drink, raised it to toast his uncle, and said, "Uncle, thanks to you for your help this time, I'd like to toast you."

Grandpa Xu nodded, said nothing, and continued eating.

Seeing the old man nod, he poured another cup and said, "Sir, how about we cooperate again?"

Grandpa Xu didn't want to talk to him. Everyone was already eating, and he was just babbling on and on.

However, the old lady objected, putting down her chopsticks: "Wenqiang, what's wrong with you? Jinyan asked you for help!"

Xu Wenqiang reluctantly put down his chopsticks, glanced at Xu Jinyan, and said, "Speak quickly, what is it?"

Xu Jinyan stared blankly at his uncle: "Xu...Xu Wenqiang?" Then he turned to look at the old lady who was still eating. Oh, the old lady's surname wasn't Feng.

"Your grandpa's here, what's the matter?"

Xu Jinyan looked at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, you named my uncle? That's really bold."

The old lady nodded with a smile: "I told you I chose a nice name, Wenqiang and Wenqing, it sounds like someone who will amount to something."

Xu Jinyan nodded in agreement. He found that the memory fusion was too smooth, so much so that he hadn't noticed anything wrong before.

Getting back to the point, Xu Jinyan asked his uncle, "Uncle, I need to use the erhu for the finals. Could you please come with me again? Also, the arrangement is quite complex this time, so we might need to rehearse for a few more days. Don't worry, you'll still shine this time."

Xu Wenqiang: "Don't you know how to play? Your erhu is more than enough for a competition."

Xu Jinyan: "My erhu is fine, but I still have to sing, right? This time I have to sing standing up."

He can't possibly sit and play the erhu while chanting "hoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo," the image is too beautiful to imagine.

Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "Okay, send me the sheet music later."

Xu Jinyan nodded, relieved that his uncle played the erhu even better; it was better to ask him than his students. Then he said, "Uncle, we can wear the clothes from the shop then, it'll count as a 'GG' (a euphemism for a romantic encounter)."

Xu Qian nodded repeatedly: "This is good, this is good."

He currently manages the daily operations of "Xu Yunge," while Lao Xu only handles some professional issues.

Aunt Xu then asked with interest, "Jinyan, you've written a new song again? Oh my, your last song was really good."

Xu Jinyan replied with a grin, "Yes, Auntie, that song was made possible thanks to my uncle."

"This kid, do you think I don't know anything? There are plenty of people who can play the morin khuur, but I've never seen anyone play a piece like yours. Don't try to flatter your grandpa."

Xu Jinyan quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you can't say that. Without my uncle, I wouldn't know who to ask to accompany me. This kind of instrument is relatively niche."

Leaving that topic aside, everyone threw themselves back into their cooking. Strangely enough, the more they ate, the better the food his grandmother made seemed to taste. Did she also have a system?

After attending two family dinners, Xu Jinyan began to enjoy the atmosphere. The family sat around a round table. Although there wasn't much conversation, the two husbands would serve food to their mother and daughter-in-law. The old lady was happy to see her children eating so well. No one would change their attitude just because Xu Jinyan had become famous; they would only feel proud.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the family sat together and chatted.

Xu Qian glanced at his phone, exclaimed "Wow!" and said, "Brother, your song is really popular! It's only been a day, and it's already over 100,000 downloads."

Everyone else looked over, but Xu's mother, Yan Zhi, was particularly interested. She asked her nephew, "Qian'er, calculate how much this costs?"

Xu Qian said, "Second Aunt, it's not easy to calculate. If we only consider download revenue, it's easy. After taxes, it should be around 100,000 yuan. But the rules for playback revenue are more complicated. This is just the Zhiyin platform. If short videos or streaming media use this song, they will also have to pay according to the number of plays. At this download speed, Jin Yan can earn several million yuan a month."

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't stop smiling. Her eldest son had been lucky in his early years; the house he bought was demolished and redeveloped, and now he owns all the shops. His wife is also capable, and the business is doing well. He will be well-off for the rest of his life. Her second son is now an associate professor, and the family is also doing well. Now her grandson has become a famous singer, which makes her very happy. She kept praising him, saying, "My grandson is really promising."

Xu Jinyan's gaze sharpened. Once, an old man had said something similar to him.

At this moment, Yan Zhi's eyes lit up as she said to Xu Wenqing, "Let's sell the house we prepared for our son."

Xu Jinyan: "..."

My emotions suddenly became disjointed.

Xu Wenqing frowned in thought. Indeed, his son was earning a lot of money now, and they didn't need his filial piety. They could live very well on their own. Selling that house would greatly increase the frequency and scope of their travels. There was no problem with that. So he slowly nodded.

Xu Jinyan: I'm truly impressed.

……

……

"I'm speechless. Is this what you call a 'just okay' song?"

Inside the familiar private room, Hua Chenyu looked speechlessly at Wang Yiming sitting opposite her. Was this kid making fun of him back then?

Wang Yiming opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Could he say that he did that despicable thing for you?

If I were to say it out loud, I'd be disliked by both sides.

Oh, you didn't tell me before you did it, and now that you've lost, you're telling me? What's the meaning of this?

Wang Yizhen tried to smooth things over, saying, "He's not a music student, how would he know if a song is good or bad?" Little did he know, he was the one who thought it was the most ridiculous. Why did he have to do this? If it had been Xu Jinyan's original song, the outcome would have been uncertain.

He was suffering inside, but he couldn't say it.

The three-person team regrouped a day after the semi-finals.

Wang Yizhen looked at Hua Chenyu and said, "It seems that you only have a chance to turn things around if you produce a better original song in the finals. Are you confident?"

Hua Chenyu said solemnly, "Even if we're not confident, we have to go for it. With the current competition format, originality is encouraged. If it were the final today, there would be absolutely no hope. With originality, there's still a sliver of a chance."

"Holy crap!" Wang Yiming exclaimed, "Look at 'The Soulmate'!"

Wang Yizhen and Hua Chenyu both took out their phones, and saw "Anhe Bridge" appearing in the scrolling recommendation bar of the Zhiyin APP.

This is the recommendation section! Currently, Xu Jinyan's song is only circulating in a small area. If you don't enter the name in the search bar, who can find it?

As a result, now that this is being pushed out, everyone who opens the app can see it, which is a huge amount of traffic exposure.

How can you even compare four ordinary people to one celebrity?

Hua Chenyu felt somewhat desperate, but then hope rose again. It was easy to imagine that the final on Sunday would receive a lot of attention. If I could defeat him, then all of this would become my stepping stone.

Xu Jinyan, I admit you're my rival now. See you on Sunday!
