Chapter 478: Massacre in all directions
Chen Tao chuckled, trying to hide his embarrassment, but still said:

“When you sent me the album songs before, the arrangements were already done.

Everything is ready, and it won't take much time given your singing skills.

And the release date is next month, so it won’t delay the work.”

Du Sheng finally understood. No wonder this guy still had the mood to take a break from his busy schedule.

This is because there is no clear production deadline and no sense of urgency.

Du Sheng said calmly:
"The album needs to be recorded before April 4, and then we will prepare to shoot the music video, and also do a series of promotional work."

Although this album of his is still an EP, the five songs were all hits in the previous life.

"Two Butterflies", "Autumn Will Never Come Back", "Who Will You Think of When You Are Lonely", "Wait a Minute", "Has Anyone Told You".

If you don’t take action, then don’t take action. But if you do take action, you must ensure the quality.

Chen Tao was stunned after hearing this:

"Are you crazy? Today is the 20th and we haven't recorded a single for the album yet, and we've even added a single at the last minute. It's too rushed!"

Du Sheng said calmly:
“What’s the rush? You just said that the arrangement is ready.

Recording two songs today and three songs tomorrow is no problem at all.”

"As for the single 'Blue Bird', I have already recorded it at Miracle Records. You don't need to worry about it."

The Mandarin version of the song "Blue Bird" was released at the request of fans.

Because the Japanese version was released before, fans have been asking for a Mandarin version.

Taking into account the audience's needs and the fact that there was no need to re-arrange the music, Du Sheng agreed and planned to release it for free when the time comes.

It is worth mentioning that the Neon version of "Blue Bird" has topped the Oricon chart for two consecutive weeks, with a strong momentum.

In addition, this song seems to fit the atmosphere of "Naruto" very well. The other party has recently negotiated copyright with Sony's branch and is preparing to use it as one of the theme songs of the animation series.

"You are cruel!"

After knowing that the recording had to be completed within two days, Chen Tao felt like he was on hormones.

There's no way around it. Many of his peers are jealous of the money, and if he doesn't do it, there will be plenty of people who will.

Moreover, Du Sheng's level is absolutely impeccable and the song recording is progressing smoothly.

In the evening, the two main songs "Two Butterflies" and "Autumn Will Never Come Back" were successfully completed.

At this speed, it is entirely possible to complete the album recording before the 23rd.

While he was recording, Jia Jingwen took two girls, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, to enjoy delicious food and sent them back to school.

When she came back, she saw Du Sheng still concentrating on practicing singing. She finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to take a nap.

Du Sheng returned home and learned that Gao Yuanyuan had returned to the crew.

He smiled and said nothing more, then picked up Jia Jingwen who had just woken up.

I have a social engagement tonight, so I can't relax even if I want to.

After parking the car, Du Sheng helped Jia Jingwen out of the car very gentlemanly.

The car was going too fast just now, and the girl's legs are a little weak, so she needs to calm down.

Du Sheng closed the car door and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the pair of shiny red high heels on Jia Jingwen's feet.

She had a silver anklet on her feet, which made her skin look white and delicate.
The ten toes are as crystal clear as jade, very charming, adding a bit of charm and sexiness.

One can't help but want to play with it carefully.

However, Jia Jingwen felt weak all over at this time and was a little unsteady when she walked.

Du Sheng shook his head and smiled, saying:
"Wearing high heels is beautiful, but wearing them too much is bad for your feet and makes walking difficult."

Jia Jingwen rolled her eyes at Du Sheng, but took his arm affectionately, smiling:

"I usually don't wear them, but since you're taking me out for a social event tonight, of course I have to dress up."

After Jia Jingwen said this, Du Sheng felt a little ashamed.

He has so many women that sometimes he can't afford to be everywhere at once, so they usually just get together to interact.

For example, recently, he either plays with Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, or rotates with Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing.

Although interaction and discussion among multiple people is fun, women sometimes prefer to be alone with Du Sheng.

Du Sheng rubbed Jia Jingwen's hair and said softly:
"After the socializing, we will go to Huairou Studios to relive the joy we had when we were filming The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

After hearing this, Jia Jingwen suddenly felt better and her body was no longer weak. She kissed him happily:
"That's great, my Princess Minmin is finally going to kill everyone!"

Du Sheng: “…”

Markham Restaurant, where the crew of "The Mouse Loves the Cat" wrapped up filming.

The waiters were quite familiar with the two men and took them to the reserved box without much explanation.

As soon as I entered the box, I heard some voices talking and laughing.

Sitting opposite the door was a little fat man wearing glasses.

Du Sheng recognized at a glance that the man was Ning Caishen mentioned by Wang Jinhua.

Sitting next to Ning Caishen was his wife Cheng Jiao'e, and next to Zhu Tong was his acquaintance Li Leda.

That’s right, it’s the same producer who was such a rip-off in the past film “Dragon Girl”.

Seeing Du Sheng coming in, the four of them stood up to greet him.

Ning Caishen and Cheng Jiao'e seemed a little nervous.

Especially Cheng Jiao'e, who couldn't hold back her smile after she stood up.

Du Sheng responded with a smile, but was a little indifferent to the screenwriter Ning Caishen.

Even when discussing plot and filming issues, he expressed his views and opinions directly.

Ning Caishen is indeed talented, but the mistake he made is quite serious, so Du Sheng does not intend to have a close relationship with him.

However, "Wulin Waijia" is indeed a good work worth looking forward to.

So we only collaborated on this drama and then went our separate ways.

Ning Caishen felt that Du Sheng's attitude was natural and completely in line with his status.

With the two people from Zhonglu Films present, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Ning Caishen seemed to be eager to get investment from Star Media, and he talked about his experience in coming up with the idea.

He also joked that he was so poor that he had to live in the basement, and if he didn't make any more money he would not be able to make ends meet.

Du Sheng had read the script of "Wulin Waijia" before, and currently there are only about thirty episodes.

To be on the safe side, he made a request:
“We at Star Media can invest, and even be responsible for production and distribution.

It’s just that the script is not yet complete, and I need to see the final version.” Ning Caishen initially approached Zhonglu Pictures for investment, but the company was a small studio.

Zhu Tong even said directly that the investment would be at most on par with "Daughter Dragon", and the main focus would be on stability.

He would feel more at ease if he could get Star Media to join in and let them produce and distribute the film.

You can make money while lying down.

After all, Star Media has invested in so many dramas and has never had a failure.

For Ning Caishen and his friend, being able to obtain investment and having the producer be the popular Star Media in the industry is also the most ideal result.

If there is anyone who is unhappy, it is Li Leda.

Because he wanted to be a producer.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much say here now.

According to Zhu Tong, it would be a good idea for him to be the producer of Zhonglu Pictures.

The reason why Du Sheng decided to have Star Media invest and produce the show was that he learned from a discussion just now that Li Leda did not have a deep enough understanding of the sitcom "Wulin Waijia".

According to his idea, the layout and construction were intended to be based on the ancient martial arts style of "Dragon Goddess".

He even wanted to invite Taiwanese artists Wallace Huo and Cai Yilin to play the male and female protagonists.

Putting aside the butt problem, her temperament and appearance alone are not suitable.

As for the director, Li Leda wants to ask his old partner Zhang Jun to direct.

Du Sheng shook his head at this.

The script is indeed good, but if the crew is too slack, the final product may be unsatisfactory.

Du Sheng originally planned to invest a small amount himself and let Jia Jingwen replace Yao Dazui to play Guo Furong.

But when he learned that Li Leda was going to be a producer, he couldn't hold back.

It's really unreliable to let this person lead the team. It's okay to be cheated once, but I don't want it to happen again.

It just so happened that Zhong Zhen had some free time recently, so this project was given to her to build.

She herself has served as a producer twice. As long as she follows Du Sheng's instructions and brings together the directors and actors from her previous life, "Wulin Waijia" will definitely be of above standard.

Ning Caishen got the investment promise and asked excitedly:

"Mr. Du, do you want to make a cameo appearance? I think you are a perfect match for Bai Zhantang in every way."

Du Sheng waved his hand slightly and said:
“I don’t have much schedule recently, so forget about the guest appearance.

Moreover, for this drama, we only need to choose actors who are suitable, there is no need to settle for less.

In addition, Jing Wen will play Guo Furong, and she will be the focus of traffic. "

The total investment of "Wulin Waijia" is about 1200 million yuan, jointly funded by Star Media and Zhonglu Pictures.

This amount of money is not enough to pay Du Sheng and Jia Jingwen's film remuneration.

But this is a bit discouraging, so I picked a panacea excuse.

Ning Caishen's eyes moved around, carefully examining the charming Jia Jingwen beside Du Sheng, and nodded excitedly:
"Teacher Jing Wen's temperament is so consistent with Guo Furong in my script!"

Ning Caishen did not lie. The Guo Furong in his script was a clever and smart female knight, with both beauty and wisdom.

In his previous life, when the director asked Yao Di to play Guo Furong, Ning Caishen was not very happy about it.

He thought Yao Di had a big nose, a rustic temperament, and flat facial features, but she was always different from the Guo Furong in his mind.

However, the director's words left Ning Caishen speechless.

The budget is limited, and Yao Di is the best candidate.

Ning Caishen was naturally delighted to be able to invite Jia Jingwen to play Guo Furong this time.

Jia Jingwen is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very popular.

She had been involved in several scandals with Du Sheng before, and the popularity of "The Heaven Sword and the Young Emperor" made her famous, and now she has firmly established herself as a top star.

After talking about the details of "Wulin Wai Zhuan", Du Sheng took Jia Jingwen and left.

He didn't drink a drop of alcohol tonight and drove Jia Jingwen to Huairou Film and Television City.

Jia Jingwen smiled happily and said:

"I thought you were just talking about it before, but I didn't expect you to get the role right away."

Du Sheng smiled:

“I see you’ve rested for a month, it’s time for you to get out.

You have to take this drama seriously and don't have to worry about anything.
It doesn't matter if you occasionally make a fool of yourself, as long as you bring the character of Guo Furong to life, it will become your masterpiece in the future."

After all, actors need works to prove themselves.

Even though Yao Di's popularity declined in his previous life, he still had a place in the film and television industry thanks to his works such as "Wulin Waijia", "The Disguiser" and "The Storm".

With the support of foreign resources, Yao Di is still active on the screen despite the turmoil.

Du Sheng has never appreciated people who like to do stupid things.

Naturally, he didn't want such people to continue to play these classic roles.

Jia Jingwen tilted her head and said:
“It’s actually quite nice not to be filming, I can enjoy traveling with my girlfriends in my free time.

I want to relax, and it’s so wonderful to have a handsome guy like you as my companion.

Now you suddenly arrange a play for me, no, you have to compensate me well!"

As she spoke, she took out a pair of exquisite stockings from her bag, put them on, stretched her fair and beautiful legs to the front row, and said with a smile:
"My legs have been weak all day today, so I'll punish you by having you massage my feet!"

Du Sheng: “…”

Jia Jingwen's body odor is always fresh and elegant, and there is almost no sweat smell on her feet.

Du Sheng gently held her feet and smelled a hint of fragrance.

The jade feet are lightly raised, white and slender.

It feels as smooth as cream and is very elastic.

The toenails are trimmed neatly and roundly, like gorgeous pearls, crystal clear.

Jia Jingwen shyly withdrew her foot:
"I was just kidding, you really gave me a massage, and you said you weren't a foot fetishist!"

Du Sheng parked the car in a deserted place and said with a chuckle:

"The last time we filmed the scene of being trapped in the secret room in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, the plot was obviously incomplete. Let's continue..."
