Chapter 75 The God-Making Project: Sister Meng Recommends Herself
Gu Yi was completely stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Is there any need to build a special stage? I can just use my phone to start a live stream on Douyin. I can just sing a simple song."
He agreed to the live stream only to promote the movie.
"It was Tencent's side that requested it."
"What?!!"
Li Xiang revealed the inside story.
"They want you to capitalize on this momentum and release a few new songs, including a digital mini-album, instead of waiting until mid-year."
"Qyin spent a lot of money in the copyright war a couple of years ago, so they have been trying to incubate their own signed original top-tier artists in order to lower the prices of copyright companies."
"Your recent breakthrough just happens to fit their idol-making plan, similar to how LOL heavily promoted Wuzi back then."
To put it another way, Billy's "Drop Tower" was a breakout hit, earning him over 4000 million in just a few months.
Sister He said he supported the company.
Craig Lee posted on Weibo: "As of now, I have not received any payment from Universal Music."
Because Universal Music tricked him; what was supposed to be a collaboration turned into a contracted artist agreement.
It can only be said that he was too careless.
"Weibo doesn't want you to stream on other platforms either!"
Li Xiang continued to remind him.
Gu Yi listened and chuckled helplessly.
"666, they've really messed with me."
"If you don't want to accept it, we can refuse, and they won't force you," Li Xiang asked for his opinion.
"Actually, Tencent has contacted more than just you. That internet celebrity Liu Yuning sang an OST last year and I heard she's also preparing to act."
Gu Yi then remembered that most of Liu Yuning's dramas were broadcast by Tencent, and even the production company behind "A Thought Through the Mountains" was invested by Tencent.
"I accepted it; it's not a bad thing that Weibo has traffic."
Gu Yi nodded in agreement.
Releasing the song earlier means making money sooner, which is not shameful at all!
Moreover, the quality of these songs is excellent, generating millions of dollars in revenue every month!
If his album becomes a huge hit, he could achieve the same level of success as TFBOYS or the four members who returned to China, which would guarantee his future movie box office success.
If the original "Better Days" hadn't been supported by millennial fans, it wouldn't have achieved such an exaggerated box office of over a billion yuan.
Xiao Zhan's films are also supported by his fans.
"Then I'll go prepare."
"Um!"
"Sit here for a while, then come to the M space next door."
"no problem."
After Li Xiang left, he officially announced the live stream time using Gu Yi's personal Weibo and studio accounts.
To retain viewership for the gala, the new wolf...
They also mobilized multiple marketing accounts to repost it.
The guests on stage are making jokes right now.
Stephen Chow gave Zhang Dada a performance task: "Anxiously waiting outside the delivery room." However, Zhang completely ignored the task and insisted on bringing up the "fake smile boy," leaving Stephen Chow looking embarrassed.
A large number of netizens criticized him in the live chat.
"Low emotional intelligence!"
TF then performed "I Like You" and won the "Most Influential Group Award".
Gu Yi looked at the group of artists receiving awards on stage, feeling nothing at all, and even a little bored.
"What? No prizes at all? Disappointed?"
Seeing his expressionless face, Mao Mao leaned over and teased him.
"I got trending on social media right from the start, why should I be envious?"
"Don't be a sour grapes."
"I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm off."
Gu Yi was too lazy to argue and gave a perfunctory reply.
"What's the rush?"
Deng Ziqi, who was standing nearby, chimed in with an invitation.
"Let's grab some late-night snacks together!"
"That's really unfortunate."
Gu Yi shook his head.
"I need to get ready for the live stream!"
"Do you need any help?"
"Did you learn it?"
"I still need to practice."
"Then we don't need to."
Actually, Gu Yi could have sat for a while longer.
But the Imperial Advisor looked over. He didn't want this old fellow to disrupt his plans.
If he were to actually film it, who knows how long he would take to finish? So Gu Yi decided to make a quick getaway.
"I'm leaving now, see you next time."
"Bye-Bye!"
The two waved goodbye to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi got up and walked towards the exit. Just then, the "Annual Male God Award" was being presented on stage.
Meng Ziyi had been keeping an eye on his movements. When she saw him about to leave, and remembering that she hadn't finished her task, she mustered up her courage and chased after him.
"Gu Yi!"
She shouted down the passageway.
In the backlight,
Gu Yi looked back.
On stage, Zhu Yilong and other male idols of the year held trophies, and the lights made his eyes a little moist.
Unfortunately, this scene was captured by a reporter from Big Eyes Entertainment. The two exchanged a glance and quickly communicated.
"A world-famous painting! This is exactly the same image as when Faker looked back at the championship trophy after his defeat in 2017."
"He was unwilling to stand as a lackey, so he left the scene calmly, but he harbored ambitions in his heart. Okay, that's how it is."
Afterwards, the reporter watched the awards ceremony and completely ignored Sister Meng, who was still just standing on the side of the road.
At this moment, four married male gods on stage—Luo Jin, Nie Yuan, Qin Hao, and Yu Wenle—took turns imparting their secrets to Zhu Yilong on how to find a partner.
"Film less!"
"Rely on yourself!"
"Find someone you admire!"
"I don't know why I succeeded!"
Zhu Yilong smiled shyly after hearing this.
At this moment in the passage,
Meng Ziyi has caught up with Gu Yi.
"What's up?"
Gu Yi looked at her, who was panting heavily.
Meng Ziyi's earlier sullen demeanor had vanished, replaced by a serious and apprehensive expression.
"I want to have a chat with you!"
"Let's chat!"
Gu Yi unknowingly switched to a Northeastern accent.
It's incredibly powerful!
"I received an audition invitation for 'The Crime Hunter'."
She looked up at Gu Yi and spoke bluntly.
"Then what."
"I'd like you to put in a good word for me with the director!"
"I have no connection with you."
Gu Yi was somewhat surprised that Sister Meng would be so bold.
Meng Ziyi was prepared and immediately responded.
"I found out at school that Zhou Ye already has a job."
Do you know what a coconut is?
"I don't know them, but we can get to know each other."
Why should I recommend you?
"I also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and my acting skills are pretty good."
"not enough!"
"My character Ye Hongyu already generates a lot of buzz, so joining the cast will only be a plus, and I definitely won't hold you back."
The reason she was so proactive was because the scripts Yuekai had been connecting her with recently were of mediocre quality, and she didn't like them at all.
She had finally found a good script from Gu Yi, and even if her role was small, she didn't want to miss it easily.
Since you've come to me so readily, I won't be polite. After all, fate has the best plan.
Of course, giving it away for free is out of the question.
However, it's still a good deal as a transaction.
"If this works out, you'll owe me a favor?"
"I forgive you for what just happened."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi frowned.
"That can't outweigh a favor."
Gu Yi was amused.
"Then I'll owe you a favor, but it has to be legal and compliant, and within my capabilities."
Sister Meng was very serious.
"Then I'll go and talk to them for you, but you'll be responsible if anything goes wrong."
"no problem!"
After the matter was agreed upon,
Gu Yizheng turned and left.
At this point, Sister Meng added a sentence.
"I knew you were a good person!"
Gu Yi didn't expect to receive a friend card, so he waved helplessly and went to the M space next door.
