Chapter 284 Does He Understand History?
"So when will you two make it official?"

After talking about the script, Mei Jie suddenly turned her head and said something out of the blue.

She looked at Feng Shiqi and Bai Xingjian with great curiosity, thinking that if she hadn't brought up the topic, the two would have continued to live in such an unclear manner.

After hearing this, Feng Shiqi just stared at the TV without changing her expression, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

But Bai Xingjian noticed that her ears suddenly turned red.

He grinned and said, "I think it's fine anytime, right? We're not idols anyway, so whether we're in a relationship or not doesn't have much of an impact on us."

As he was talking, Bai Xingjian seemed to have thought of something and added, "And given the nature of our Phoenix Flying group, maybe an official announcement would have a better effect. After all, there is the precedent of Birds and Fishes."

The nature of the Fenghuang Yufei group is completely different from GoldenCold, where Bai Xingjian previously worked.

If it is GoldenCold, the relationship between the members of the group cannot be officially announced, because it involves many aspects of the problem.

But Fenghuang Yufei is different, they are originally a male-female combination and have a lot of CP fans.

If it is officially announced, it will not only enhance the stickiness of these CP fans, but also attract some fans who are really into the CP to come.

The profits brought are also very good.

"Let's take it easy for now."

Unexpectedly, Feng Shiqi rejected Bai Xingjian's proposal, and her white and smooth cheeks turned red.

This made Bai Xingjian feel strange. Why did it seem that Sister Qi was more shy than usual at this moment? This was totally unlike her.

Could it be because Mei Jie was also there that she felt a little uncomfortable?

"How can it be officially announced so quickly? Shouldn't it be announced after a year or two?"

Feng Shiqi gave her reasons, "It seems that our group has only been established for a little over half a year, right?"

Mei Jie curled her lips. The photo of the "kiss of the century" between the two of you is still stored in many people's mobile phones. It doesn't really matter whether it is officially announced or not, but the problem is that you two have to make it clear.

She asked like a concerned parent, "Let's not talk about the official announcement for now. Brother Xingjian, do you really like Sister Shiqi? The kind of love between a man and a woman."

Mei Jie suddenly asked Bai Xingjian.

Although Bai Xingjian was a little caught off guard, he still nodded, smiled and looked at Feng Shiqi and said solemnly:
"Of course I do."

This is affirmative, heartfelt, from the heart...

This answer made Mei Jie very satisfied, and so was Feng Shiqi.

Immediately afterwards, Mei Jie asked Feng Shiqi the same question.

Naturally, the answer was the same.

"So you two are in love now, you know?"

Mei Jie looked at them seriously and said, "You should all know what love is, right? There's no need for me to teach you two."

Really, you two have to be so quiet when you kiss, it's like you're having an affair.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sat upright and nodded, feeling as if they were being lectured.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other, and both couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing their state, Mei Jie complained in her heart:
"If I weren't there for these two people who couldn't speak, they would probably have continued to live in confusion like this."

"This family really has to break up without me!"

……

This meal on the coffee table lasted until the end of the last episode of "The Voice 2024".

Mei Jie looked at the cheering scene on TV and said with some regret: "Brother Xingjian, Sister Shiqi, why didn't you two kiss on the stage this time? The last live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" had more than million viewers at its peak!"

"If you two kiss when you win the championship, it will definitely be even more of a 'kiss of the century' than the 'kiss of the century' in 'New Era of Heavenly Group'."

Mei Jie expressed regret for not seeing Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi kissing on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024".

At this moment, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi began to ignore Mei Jie's presence, and they just sat together on the sofa.

Now that they had passively talked it out, their relationship had become much closer.

"Then let's make up for it now." Bai Xingjian said, then lowered his head and kissed Feng Shiqi in his arms.

Mei Jie, who was fed a lot of dog food, made a "6" gesture to the two of them.

……

After the show "The Voice of China 2024" ended on TV, the three of them began to clean up the mess.

Bai Xingjian cleaned up the things on the coffee table, while Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie continued to pack their unpacked luggage.

They were busy like this until one o'clock in the morning, when the three of them returned to their respective bedrooms, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

……

Beijing.

An office in the film and television department of Yehua Entertainment.

Two middle-aged men sat opposite each other at the tea table. A row of quaint green porcelain cups were neatly arranged, emitting steam and bringing with them a scent of tea.

It was the producer of "The Great Qin Dynasty" Wang Hongwei and the director of the film and television department Chen Ke who were discussing matters related to this film.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Li also brought Bai Xingjian in. This young man has also started preparing the theme song for your movie."

Chen Ke raised his teacup and took a sip, with a look of admiration on his face: "Our music department really found a treasure this year. A new group won the championship of two programs in a row. With the help of Fenghuang Yufei, I think Ji Qiu can even have a seat at the table for dinner at this year's annual meeting."

Wang Hongwei took a sip of tea and was quite surprised by these words.

He frowned and asked, "Bai Xingjian? The Bai Xingjian who is like a flying phoenix?"

"Yes, that's him."

Chen Ke smiled maliciously, "How is it? Do you feel a little flustered?"

It is naturally impossible for everyone in Yehua Entertainment to be united and think in the same direction.

Regarding the soundtrack of the movie "The Great Qin Dynasty", the reason why Yehua Entertainment's music department was not allowed to participate was that the current music department did not have many talents, and secondly, there were some conflicts between Wang Hongwei and Ji Qiu. At the planning meeting of the movie "The Great Qin Dynasty", Wang Hongwei mocked Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu was not the type to suffer bullying, so he stood up from his seat and started arguing with Wang Hongwei.

The scene was so lively and noisy.

But these are all planning meetings for "The Great Qin Dynasty", and the protagonist is naturally the person in charge of "The Great Qin Dynasty".

Before the quarrel was over, Ji Qiu was asked to leave.

It wasn't long before the film "The Great Qin Dynasty" was cut from the music department.

Everyone in the music department is used to this kind of situation.

Ever since several talented producers, composers and lyricists were poached by other companies, Yehua Entertainment has basically left the music department alone.

Previously, Ji Qiu had to beg for the production of the theme song for the movie "Jiang Hu Feng Yun" after much pleading.

As a result, there wasn't a single capable person in their music department. They wrote more than a dozen songs, but none of them were accepted.

In the end, this important task fell on Bai Xingjian.

And then he completed it brilliantly.

The credit naturally goes to the music department.

Now it seemed that the same situation had happened again, so Chen Ke asked Wang Hongwei if he was panicking.

After all, Wang Hongwei and Ji Qiu don't get along. If Bai Xingjian can successfully complete the task this time, then wouldn't Wang Hongwei be slapped in the face?

“Just a little bit.”

Wang Hongwei continued to drink his tea. "After all, the theme song of Jianghu Fengyun was written for this guy. He must have some skills."

After saying this, Wang Hongwei grinned and said, "But our film The Qin Dynasty is not something that can be compared to films adapted from martial arts novels like Jianghu Fengyun. Bai Xingjian may have his own unique understanding of the martial arts world in the novel, but as a young man in his early twenties, how can he understand the real history?"

What he meant was that Bai Xingjian would never be able to write a theme song suitable for "The Qin Dynasty".

After all, things related to the word "history" are not something that can be understood solely through personal understanding.

What’s more, Bai Xingjian’s major was not history.
Can he understand the First Emperor?
Even the songs written by those producers who were well-versed in history were rejected by their team, not to mention the young man Bai Xingjian.

"That's right. Your requirements are so high this time. I'm afraid Bai Xingjian will fail."

Chen Ke smiled and continued, "What if you don't find a theme song that suits you in the end? Admit the best candidates?"

"Naturally."

Wang Hongwei nodded, "The most important thing for a movie is the content. The theme song is just a bonus. How many movies in our film and television industry are well-known to the public because of their theme songs? Apart from those few 'bad movies with great songs', there are only a handful of movies whose theme songs can have a positive impact on the movie."

Having said this, Wang Hongwei also laughed.

"Indeed it is."

Chen Ke quite agreed with this view. As if he had thought of something, he said with some interest:
"By the way, isn't Lu Tao's Painted Skin going to be released in a few days? If I remember correctly, the theme song of their movie was also written by Bai Xingjian. Maybe you can go and listen to it on the day of the release, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"Lu Tao, you are talking about his work "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin"."

As the producer of the same film, Wang Hongwei and Lu Tao had a pretty good relationship. However, when Wang Hongwei thought about the fantasy theme of the film, he lost interest:
"There's no need for that. They're not on the same track. Even if you listen to them, you won't understand what they mean."

Chen Ke laughed teasingly and said, "Their theme song was sung by Lin Qingying."

"what?!"

Wang Hongwei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise and astonishment: "Lin Qingying sang it? How come I didn't know about it?"

……

On October 10, "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin" began to be shown in major theaters across the country.

Since this movie brings together several movie stars and some of the top young actors in the entertainment industry, its popularity is extremely high.

Although all major cinemas are doing their best to schedule screenings, tickets for this movie still have to be grabbed in time.

This situation also led to a booming secondary market for movie tickets for this film, shocking many passers-by.

"No, now there is a secondary market for movie tickets? Am I still asleep or has the world turned upside down?"

"I've seen people selling celebrity concert tickets, but I've never seen people selling movie tickets. This really broadens my horizons."

"How good is this movie? Why are so many people rushing to buy tickets?"

"Damn, I checked on Huangyu. The original ticket price was 49.9, but the scalper raised it to 99.9. If anyone wants to buy it, just go ahead and buy it."

"666, you really don't cheat the poor!"

"I'm really annoyed by these people. They can even use movie tickets to recycle."

Bai Xingjian also posted a Weibo on that day, but it wasn’t really a post, as he reposted Lin Qingying’s video Weibo.

The content of the video is naturally the song "Hua Xin" and related clips from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin".

However, the style of the comment section on Bai Xingjian’s Weibo is a bit outrageous, and everyone’s discussion is not about this song at all.

[Received a notification that Bai Xingjian posted a Weibo! Clicked in to see that it was a reposted Weibo... Bai Xingjian, you can't play with your fans like this. You haven't posted a Weibo for so long and this is all you're going to show me?]
[Are you and Sister Shiqi on your honeymoon? Neither of you has posted on Weibo for a long time.]
[…No, are our fans of Fenghuang Yufei so fanatical now? Didn’t Xing Jian and Shi Qi not post on Weibo for three days? Why are you guys so anxious like little babies who want to drink milk? Although I am also anxious]
[The main thing is that I don’t know what the follow-up arrangements are for Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi. I feel like ants are crawling all over my body after not seeing them sing for a week.]
[It really made me laugh. I think Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have spoiled you fans by often singing new songs on TV shows.]
[So is the rumor from a few days ago true? Is Xing Jian going to write a movie script related to the song "Beautiful Myth"?]
[Huh? What? Is this true?]
[I can’t stop laughing. How can such a stupid rumor be true? Different professions are like different worlds, understand? Bai Xingjian can write movie scripts, I will eat it up!]
[Don’t come here to get free food and drinks. I’ve seen a lot of people like you!]
Bai Xingjian’s fans kept discussing in the comment section.

Looking at these comments, Bai Xingjian was also a little amused.

But he didn't say anything and continued to lurk on Weibo.

Then I found that some entries related to their Phoenix Flying were still on the hot search list, and they were all related to the two songs they sang on the finals stage.

[Interpretation of the script of "Beautiful Myth"]

[Love the way you lie, a song with the theme of "domestic violence"]

The previous entry was fine, but Bai Xingjian had no idea where the rumors about the "script" of this song came from.

As for the second one...

Are netizens going to make up their own values ​​about the theme of this song and discuss it in an escalating way?
