Chapter 286 Return to China for Development
"You must be very busy recently. You all look a little haggard."

"It is true that we are a bit busy, after all, we are promoting our songs every day, but hard work pays off, and we have lived up to everyone's expectations and have achieved some good results."

"It's more than good. You have won the first place in the three major TV stations. It's no exaggeration to say that you are now at the top of the Korean entertainment industry."

"Brother Xingjian, what you said is really exaggerated. How could we, the Xinghe Girls, stand at the top of Korean entertainment? You can't praise your own people like this. It's too exaggerated!"

"Hmm? Am I exaggerating? In the entertainment industry of Coria, are there any boy bands or girl bands whose songs have spread around the world like yours? You can probably count them with one hand, right? You guys are not even at the top of Korean entertainment. I guess no one has ever been to the top of Korean entertainment."

"Hahaha, Brother Xingjian, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you so good at saying such happy things?"

"..."

In their new home in Linjiang City, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were having a video call with the five girls from Xinghe Girls.

After staying in Shenzhen for nearly five days, the two of them finally returned here.

"So when do you plan to return home?" Bai Xingjian asked the girls on the computer screen.

Shu Yaqian replied: "Well... I'm not sure about this yet. There are many brands and programs inviting us. If we accept these invitations, we probably won't be back until the end of the year."

"So long?"

Bai Xingjian frowned and continued to ask: "What do you think now? Do you want to return to your country or continue to develop in Coria?"

After these words were spoken, the five girls of Galaxy Girls had different expressions.

Song Yuhan glanced at Shu Yaqian quietly, smiled and said nothing.

Tang Tang blinked but said nothing.

Because it makes no difference to her whether she returns to her home country or stays in Coria to continue her development.

The only difference might be that if I return home now, I will have more time to rest.

After all, once I return to my country, I won’t have to worry about some business cooperation with Coria.

But there are also a few girls who want to continue to develop in Corea.

The reason is actually very simple. There are so many brands and program crews inviting them now. If they accept all of them, they will definitely make a lot of money.

In the group Galaxy Girls, except Tang Tang who has a very good family background, the other girls are from ordinary families and they are still in a rather eager mentality for money.

Now that there are some opportunities to make more money, they naturally want to seize them.

"According to Sister Shuyi's plan, she wants us to take on some high-quality announcements..."

After the scene was quiet for a while, Shu Yaqian spoke slowly.

Bai Xingjian nodded as he listened.

From the current perspective, the arrangements made by Star Girls’ agent, Chen Shuyi, are quite reliable.

However, if she arranges it this way, the Galaxy Girl's subsequent schedule will still be packed, making her look like a typical worker with a hard-working life.

Perhaps it was because he had had a lot of fun these days, and when Bai Xingjian heard Shu Yaqian talking about their arrangements, he felt a little bit sorry for them.

Feng Shiqi, who was sitting next to him, would frown from time to time and asked with concern:
"Your schedule is too full. Can your body handle it?"

In response to her concern, Tang Tang put his hands on his hips and said:

"Sister Shiqi, please don't look down on me, okay? Our schedule is relatively easy for artists who want to develop in Coria. You don't know the schedules of the more popular artist groups here. They are even more special than special forces. It's the kind that makes people dizzy just by looking at it!"

"Is that so?" Feng Shiqi smiled and said nothing more.

Instead, Bai Xingjian asked, "What do you think? Yaqian, why don't you tell me your own thoughts, your true thoughts."

Hearing this, Song Yuhan suddenly laughed out loud.

Tang Tang, Ho Kwan Yu, and Lin Xuefei all looked at her oddly, as if to say, "What's so funny about this?"

Shu Yaqian, the person involved, lowered her head and said to Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi on the screen:

"If it's my own idea, I actually hope to return home earlier. After all, we have been in Coria for quite a long time. It's time to go back home. I miss my family a little bit."

The girls around her couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

Originally, the Star River Girls were supposed to return to China in October, but due to some events related to "The Voice 10" and Park Ji-jae, their plans to return were disrupted.

So we stayed like this until November.

They arrived in Coria in July, which means they have been here for nearly half a year.

It was their first time going abroad and they stayed away for such a long time that the girls inevitably felt homesick.

It’s just that some girls’ desire to make money is greater than their desire to miss home.

After Shu Yaqian, girls such as Song Yuhan and Tang Tang also expressed their ideas.

Among them, two girls, Ho Kwan-yu and Lin Xuefei, said that they would rather continue to stay in Coria and follow the notice.

"Brother Xingjian, why are you asking us these questions?"

Tang Tang asked curiously, her clever eyes rolling around: "Have you already figured out how to arrange for us?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan and other girls lit up.

They are now artists under the Fenghuang Yufei Studio, so if Bai Xingjian has any arrangements for them, according to the terms of the contract, they must first follow Bai Xingjian's arrangements.

It is a semi-mandatory regulation.

Of course, for the five girls of Galaxy Girls, compared to Chen Shuyi's arrangements for them, they are actually more willing to follow Bai Xingjian's arrangements.

After all, the song "Nobody" was written by Bai Xingjian, and he also shot the MV.

It can be said that most of what the Galaxy Girl has obtained in Coria at this moment is due to Bai Xingjian.

Therefore, they were even very much looking forward to Bai Xingjian's arrangements.

"Yes."

Bai Xingjian nodded, and under the gaze of Feng Shiqi and the girls, he said, "My idea is that you should return to China first and then release the Mandarin version of "Nobody"."

When these words came out, the girls were all stunned, and then they asked in disbelief:
"What?! The Mandarin version of "Nobody"?! Brother Xingjian, you have already written this song???"

"Brother Xingjian, you are not trying to make us happy, are you?"

“Is this really written?”

Bai Xingjian rolled his eyes at the girls' questions, while Feng Shiqi smiled with her hands covering her mouth. His bright and radiant look made the girls jealous.

"No, why do you think I'm kidding you? If you don't finish writing the song, will I let you go back to your country?"

Bai Xingjian spoke to the camera speechlessly.

"So, has our boss Bai already thought about the follow-up arrangements after our Galaxy Girl returns to China?" At this moment, a crisp voice rang out, and then a mature woman wearing silver thin-framed glasses appeared on the video screen.

The person who came was Chen Shuyi.

In fact, she had been there for quite some time, but she had been listening attentively on the side and had not entered the painting, and had been waiting until now.

Looking at the familiar face that suddenly appeared on the screen, Bai Xingjian smiled and said:

"How can it be planned in advance? Shouldn't this be your job, Sister Chen? I just provided some ideas."

Having said that, Bai Xingjian expressed some of his own thoughts.

It's actually very simple.

Currently, Galaxy Girls’ song “Nobody” has become a worldwide hit, but Galaxy Girls’ status in Corea can only be regarded as a second-tier group, even though they have already won the first place on the three major TV stations.

There is nothing that can be done about this, since the rise of Galaxy Girl is so fast.

The changes in their status have not kept pace with the changes in their influence.

Therefore, the best development plan for Galaxy Girls at the moment is to return to China, raise their status first, and then go abroad.

In this way, you can earn more announcement fees.

And to put it bluntly, the money that Galaxy Girl currently earns in China is definitely more than what she earns in Coria.

After hearing what Bai Xingjian said, the older and younger girls present all looked at Bai Xingjian with strange eyes.

"Ajian, you are a little unexpected." Feng Shiqi said.

"I didn't expect you to be such a brother Xingjian!" Tang Tang said.

"Brother Xingjian, have you started to focus on 'money' now?" This is Song Yuhan.

"I feel this is pretty good. It's making money, it's not shameful." This is Shu Yaqian.

"The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, and Brother Xingjian has gradually been alienated into a capitalist." Ho Kwan Yu smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Hahahaha." Lin Xuefei grinned foolishly.

Chen Shuyi raised her eyebrows. "Boss Bai, if what you said gets out, you will definitely be criticized by netizens. But you can rest assured, we will never let such a thing happen, understand?"

Chen Shuyi looked at the five girls from the Star River Girls and said the last words.

The girls naturally agreed.

Looking at this scene, Feng Shiqi also smiled and narrowed his eyes.

……

Beijing.

In a conference room of Yehua Entertainment's Film and Television Department.

The main creative team of "The Great Qin Dynasty" gathered here to discuss the final matters of the film.

"So what's the situation now? Our theme song hasn't been decided yet?"

A middle-aged man sitting in the first seat, wearing small black round-frame glasses and looking quite elegant and easy-going, asked.

His name is Liu Ansheng, and he is one of the main persons in charge of the film and television department of Yehua Entertainment.

As the film with the largest investment currently by Yehua Entertainment, "The Great Qin Dynasty" will naturally have many relevant personnel following up.

Liu Ansheng is one of them.

"Not yet, Brother Ansheng, you know that we have high expectations for the movie "The Qin Dynasty", and we have to strive for perfection in many aspects, so for an important choice like the theme song, we naturally have to be very careful!"

He Xiang, the chief director of "The Great Qin Dynasty", said with a smile.

He Xiang is 53 years old this year. He is considered to be the fifth generation director in China. He has experience in directing many blockbuster films. He is also a top ten member of China's 3 billion box office club, and two of the films he directed have grossed more than 3 billion.

It is no exaggeration to call He Xiang one of the top directors in the country.

"It's just a theme song. Don't be too picky."

Unlike He Xiang, who had a relaxed expression, Liu Ansheng was quite serious. "I heard from Zong Nan before that Bai Xingjian wrote the theme song for your movie. How come even the song he wrote is not to your liking?"

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the conference room became interesting.

Liu Ansheng was confused by what he saw.

Under his puzzled gaze, Wang Hongwei, the producer of The Qin Dynasty, spoke up: "It is indeed not to our liking, because Bai Xingjian did not show us the songs he wrote."

"what?"

Liu Ansheng's expression became even more confused. "It seems like almost half a month has passed. Why hasn't Bai Xingjian finished writing this song yet? It's totally unlike his style."

He is half a fan of Fenghuang Yufei, and he quite likes the songs sung by Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi in the early days.

So Liu Ansheng naturally knew a thing or two about Bai Xingjian's talent.

Didn’t this guy always come up with a new song every two or three days before?
How come it’s been almost half a month since the release of “The Great Qin Dynasty” and they still haven’t released this song?
Not normal, totally abnormal.

"Who knows? Anyway, neither I nor Director He received any emails from Bai Xingjian, and they didn't make any notifications."

"So there is only one possibility, that is, Bai Xingjian has not finished writing the theme song, or maybe he simply can't write it."

Wang Hongwei looked quite impatient. "Fortunately, we didn't put all our hopes on him, otherwise we would have waited in vain."

Liu Ansheng smiled and waved his hand: "You can't say that. Isn't it the deadline yet? Bai Xingjian hasn't written it yet, which means he is really stumped by you. Slow work produces fine work. Wait a few more days. Maybe Bai Xingjian will have a new song ready in a few days."

Liu Ansheng was quite patient with Bai Xingjian, and he also believed in Bai Xingjian's talent.

It’s just that he is him and others are others, and not everyone shares the same idea as Liu Ansheng.

"I'm afraid Bai Xingjian doesn't take our song seriously at all."

"Who says he isn't? After all, he is also an artist in our music club."

"Maybe it's just like what producer Wang said, Bai Xingjian can't write this kind of song, so we don't have to have too high expectations of him."

Everyone at the conference table was talking at once.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about Bai Xingjian anymore."

Wang Hongwei interrupted the discussion and looked at Liu Ansheng:

"Brother Ansheng, although the theme song of "The Qin Dynasty" has not yet been determined, the song sent by Shengchuan Entertainment yesterday still makes me feel pretty good."

"Brother Ansheng, do you want to listen to it? The song is called "Eternal"."
