Perhaps it was because Lin Yanyu was too sleepy.
Su Yu finished showering, and she was already sound asleep on the bed.
After tidying the blanket for her.
Su Yu lay down beside her.
Muzzy Lin Yanyu felt Su Yu, let out a soft hum, and leaned closer to his body.
Su Yu naturally let her rest her arm.
Looking at her sleeping face, a smile curved his lips.
"System, how much have I donated?"
[Host has donated a total of 198.5 million to charity funds.]
Unknowingly, he was about to break through two small goals.
He picked up his phone and checked his balance.
A little over 100 million from song copyright fees a few months ago, and his income increased significantly as the city competition boosted his popularity.
Last month, he was close to 200 million.
His current savings were nearly a billion.
In another two months, he should break through the ten billion mark.
This was all hard-earned money saved through frugality. Da Feng Novel Network.
This was also the money he was saving to marry his wife.
Although Lin Yanyu, the young lady of a wealthy family, had her father-in-law promise to cover the wedding and honeymoon expenses if they won the city competition, this old fox had a condition about the betrothal gift that hadn't been discussed. He would explore his stance when he had the chance.
Perhaps wealthy people didn't care about these things.
"Customize 'Most Dazzling National Style,' 'Little Apple,' and 'Always So Quiet' for me."
His mother liked to dance to square dances, so he'd customize more. He'd release more later if needed.
As for "Always So Quiet," Su Yu planned to use it as the promotional song for the preview of Chinese Paladin.
[Recommending a Film and Television Grand Gift Package for the host. The package includes storyboards with images and scripts, film and television songs and soundtracks, and accompanying script files. It can be customized for eighty million yuan.]
"There's such a thing?"
[The package is only for film and television dramas.]
"Alright, customize it for me!"
This was a great deal.
With detailed storyboards, the director just needed to follow them.
Originally, Su Yu had planned to find an experienced director to guide Gu Qianqian.
An experienced director would cost about this much.
Now, it seemed that money could be saved.
Not only that, but he also gained a lot of background music.
It was worth noting that in Chinese Paladin 1, not only the songs but also the instrumental music and soundtracks were creations of Mai Zhenhong, the father of Xianxia music.
"Mo Shi Mo Wang" written for Lin Yue Ru, "Peach Blossom Island" for Ling'er, "Xian Jian Qi Yuan" for the Wine Sword Immortal, etc., these soundtracks were extraordinarily high quality.
[Ding, successfully customized "Most Dazzling National Style," "Little Apple," and the "Chinese Paladin Film and Television Grand Gift Package" for the host. They have been automatically placed in the system warehouse. 140 million has been donated to the charity fund for the host.]
Although he had quite a bit of money now.
Donating a month's salary all at once still felt a bit painful.
Calculating it, the total amount donated to the charity fund was now 338.5 million.
He considered himself a charitable king, didn't he?
Despite the pain, Su Yu had no other thoughts. Doing good deeds was a traditional virtue.
After finishing these, Su Yu glanced at Lin Yanyu sleeping beside him, kissed her forehead, and closed his eyes to sleep.
...
Friday.
The day of the audition for the Chinese Paladin cast.
Several business cars were parked in the parking lot outside Xinghui.
Originally, there were only two front desk receptionists, but now there were over a dozen more.
The applications received this time included many A-list celebrities.
However, screenwriter Jiangnan, who met the criteria, directly had Xinghui officially reject those popular young idols after receiving the list and introductory videos.
They kept some newcomers and actors with good acting skills.
Not only that, but they initially wanted to reject Zhang Qingyun, the hottest young star in the current film and television industry, but he insisted on coming with sincerity.
These matters were only circulated within the industry.
When someone exposed them online, no one believed them.
"Now, popularity equals money. Who would be foolish enough to give up current actors and choose newcomers?"
"Moreover, Qingyun Ge is a sought-after talent by countless film crews. If he wants to play the male lead, a small company like Xinghui would be ecstatic."
"These rumors are getting more and more outrageous."
"As long as this Jiangnan isn't an idiot, he wouldn't do something so absurd."
Su Yu's villa.
Gu Qianqian and her best friend Qin Xiaorou were waiting outside early in the morning.
When she saw Su Yu come out.
She quickly went to greet him.
"Xiao Yu, you told me on the phone to film it alone, that's not true, is it?" Gu Qianqian was stunned when she heard this news.
"Don't worry, I have very detailed storyboards with images. You just need to follow them, and I'll have a director guide you in the early stages."
The director Su Yu mentioned was Zhang Li, who was incredibly lucky. Su Yu had suitable songs for his two previous films.
The first song, "Later," directly propelled his directing career, allowing him to join the ranks of famous directors.
The second song, "Father," gave him a certain status in the industry.
Actually, Su Yu initially wanted him to direct. However, his approach was very conservative; he didn't want to film television dramas and chose to continue making movies. Su Yu didn't force him.
This person was quite good. Knowing that Su Yu was going to film a television drama, he called proactively to show concern. Upon hearing that Su Yu was using a rookie director who hadn't even graduated yet, he offered to help guide her for a while.
Su Yu thought about it, and having someone to guide her was good, so he agreed.
"That's good, you scared me to death. This is an investment of over a billion. If I ruin it, how can I possibly compensate..." Gu Qianqian patted her chest.
"I say, sister, don't worry. You won't have to compensate even if it's ruined," Su Yu said with a wry smile, helpless.
At this moment, Qin Xiaorou beside them greeted him, "Su Yu, my idol, it's you again. Thank you for your help last time."
Before, her Weibo was flooded with trolls. Su Yu not only followed her Weibo but also posted a "shush" emoji, powerfully shutting down those trolls. Qin Xiaorou was very grateful to him.
"Those people also targeted you because you recommended songs for me. This is what I should do," Su Yu smiled.
However, he noticed that although Qin Xiaorou's face was smiling, her condition seemed a little off, and he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"Su Yu, the audition is about to start, let's go," Gu Qianqian reminded him.
"Alright, let's go," Su Yu nodded.
...
Downstairs at Xinghui Entertainment.
Quite a few people were already gathered.
Most of them were girls, forming a circle, their gazes fixed in the distance, seemingly waiting for someone.
A luxury car stopped.
Immediately after, another business car followed.
A young man in his early twenties stepped out of the luxury car, dressed in a casual suit with shiny leather shoes.
His hair was styled in a somewhat fluffy pompadour, and his hands were in his pockets.
"Ahhh! It's Qingyun Ge!"
"So handsome!"
"Ah, I'm dying! I finally get to see him in person, I'm so happy!"
"Did you see? Did you see? Qingyun Ge glanced at me, he glanced at me!"
That's right, the person who stepped out of the car was Zhang Qingyun, the most popular young actor at the moment.
Most of the people present, aside from onlookers, were Zhang Qingyun's fans. They knew he was coming for an audition and had been waiting downstairs at Xinghui early.
Upon seeing Zhang Qingyun, these fans screamed frantically with excitement.
They all swarmed forward.
At this moment, a group of bodyguards stepped out of the business car behind.
They surrounded Zhang Qingyun.
Protecting him as he walked into Xinghui.
After a few steps, Zhang Qingyun looked at a girl wearing headphones beside him.
He pointed to the phone in the girl's hand, "Could you please not listen to music with your phone?"
The girl was stunned, "I... I didn't have the volume very loud..."
Zhang Qingyun said, "But this thing is bothering my eyes."
The girl looked flustered, "Ah, this..."
Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a music purist. I believe that listening to music with anything less than a 5.1 Dolby Surround sound system is like pouring garbage into your ears, do you understand?"
"I... I understand." The girl quickly took off her headphones.
Zhang Qingyun nodded with satisfaction and walked into the Xinghui entrance.
Behind him, screams erupted again.
"So handsome!! Qingyun Ge has so much personality!!"
"He has great musical taste!!"
"So, Qingyun Ge not only acts well but also knows so much about music!!"
