Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 27 Wu Lan’s Treat



After returning from Tan Songlin's office, Wu Lan still had no intention of eating. She sat on the boss's chair and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

In fact, if you want to increase Ai Tong's exposure, you don't have to only sing. For example, you can speculate on CP with a certain male star, or expose some gossip, and leak a few photos of eating with a certain male star through fans. Private photos, these are common tricks in the industry to increase celebrity topics in a short period of time and increase exposure.

Although Ai Tong himself did not object and was even prepared, from the inside, Wu Lan was a little resistant to such vulgar hype.

But now there seems to be no other way. Do we really want to take this road?

Wu Lan felt a little sad.

Suddenly she thought of someone: Yu Dongqing.

He has been attracting attention recently, writing two good songs in a row: "Knife Overture" and the explosive "The Final Countdown", which he has never done before!

Can you write a song suitable for Ai Tong to sing?

But Wu Lan also knew.

Disaster!

Whether it is the folk music type of "Knife Overture" or the rock style of "The Final Countdown", they are both niche in the market.

But what Lin Nana needs is a song that suits the public's aesthetics. Even like the rabbit dance, it is best to be a brainwashing song!

Is he okay?

Anyway, Wu Lan decided to give it a try.

But she didn't call Yu Dongqing over now. Instead, she gave him a call when it was almost time to get off work.

"Holly, don't rush home after get off work. How about having a meal together?"

Yu Dongqing was packing his briefcase and preparing to leave the office. When he received a call from Wu Lan, he immediately smiled: "Huh? Director Wu is treating me. I'm really flattered."

"Look what you said, you are still my junior high school brother, what do I want you to do?"

"Okay, but I won't go to the Liyuan Hotel. The food there makes me want to vomit." Yu Dongqing declared.

This Wu Lan sometimes treats guests to a work dinner or the like. The first is the Liyuan Hotel, which is called saving time.

"I know. Let's go to Hu Da Restaurant on Guijie Street. The spicy crayfish there is amazing! And the price is affordable."

Ah?

I didn’t expect that Wu Lan was also a foodie and knew so much.

Yu Dongqing readily agreed and said she would wait for you downstairs.

At 5:20, Yu Dongqing stood on the street opposite the company, waiting a little impatiently, and then saw Wu Lan, wearing an OL skirt, hurriedly walking out of the company door.

"Sorry, I have something to do before I leave." Wu Lan walked across the street to Yu Dongqing and apologized.

"I know you're a busy man."

"Wait a moment, I'll drive." Wu Lan said again.

"Give me the key and I'll go."

Wu Lan did not insist and handed the car key to Yu Dongqing. Yu Dongqing entered the underground garage and found the Audi Q4 driven by Wu Lan. He drove into the street and quickly disappeared into the busy traffic after Wu Lan got in the car.

Guijie Street is located inside Dongzhimen. It is brightly lit at night and filled with pedestrians. Gui refers to a food container with a round mouth and two ears in ancient China. A street is named after Gui, so it is naturally a place to eat. Spicy dishes such as spicy crayfish and spicy meat crab are the main dishes of Guijie. The spicy and spicy aroma attracts many repeat customers.

The Hu Da Restaurant that Wu Lan mentioned is one of the best.

Wu Lan ordered 40 crayfish for 6 yuan each, and ordered some cold dishes and beer, and the two of them ate.

Looking at Wu Lan with a worried face, Yu Dongqing put down the crayfish in his hand, wiped his hands and said with a smile: "Wu Lan, you came to me today for more than just eating, right? Tell me, what's the matter?"

When Wu Lan heard this, he put down the beer glass in his hand and looked at Yu Dongqing: "It's a bit urgent, and I want to ask senior to help you."

"Oh, you said?"

"Help Ai Tong write a song suitable for her. You also know that Lin Nana from Xingcan Company has been so popular recently that Ai Tong can't even breathe. The song I asked Liu Wei to write can't beat it, so I want to ask you to help."

After listening to Wu Lan's words, Yu Dongqing's tone was quite playful: "Since Liu Wei, who is so powerful, can't do anything, do you think I can do something?"

Use a dead horse as a living horse doctor

Of course Wu Lan didn't say that, but said: "I believe you!"

"Don't treat me like a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Yu Dongqing joked casually.

Wu Lan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly took a drink from the beer glass.

Yu Dongqing stopped joking, but pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "How old is Ai Tong this year?"

"26, what's wrong? It's not a good habit to ask about a girl's age." Wu Lan said with a smile.

Yu Dongqing ignored her teasing and continued: "I'm 26. I'm not young yet. Do you think it's appropriate to still be cute and jump around like a little girl?" Yu Dongqing finally asked.

"You mean, let her transform?" Wu Lan immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes! Take this opportunity to find a music style that suits her again, so that her singing career can last for a long time."

"I have also considered this issue." Wu Lan sighed: "But you also know that it is not easy for a singer with a very distinctive personal style like her to transform, and to be honest, she is not very outstanding in terms of her single voice."

"I have a song here. Let's see if she is suitable for this type of singing." After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and sent a video file to Wu Lan.

"Listen." Yu Dongqing said and picked up the beer glass on the table.

Wu Lan was dubious, took out his phone and put on his headphones, listening carefully.

It is the song "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain"!

The more Wu Lan listened, the more surprised she became. She had never heard such a type of song before, a perfect combination of pop songs and drama!

It's so novel, it may become popular in the future.

"Hey, Dongqing, who is this singing and dancing person?" Wu Lan seemed to have discovered a new world: "This voice is great, very suitable for singing this kind of songs, and she has this dancing figure. What's her name? I want to sign Got her!

"She is my mother-in-law." Yu Dongqing replied calmly.

"What?!" Wu Lan's eyes widened: "Mingrui, oh, beautiful mother? Hee hee, I didn't expect your mother-in-law to be so young and beautiful."

"We were filming for fun, Wu Lan, what do you think of this song?" Yu Dongqing asked again.

Seeing that Yu Dongqing was getting down to business, Wu Lan also stopped joking and thought about it seriously: "I personally think Ai Tong can give it a try, but I also want to ask for her personal opinion. Well, I'll ask her to come to the company tomorrow morning , how about we talk to her in person?"

"Whatever you want." Yu Dongqing leaned back lazily, unable to comment.
