How to Raise a King

The house that Jing Ye was looking for was in a good location, near the wealthy area of ​​the city, the house price was not too expensive, but it was very quiet.

There are not many residents here, and the security of the community is good. It is very suitable for public figures like Tang Yi and Jing Chen to live here.

This is a duplex house, more than 60 square meters, and the living room is as big as their previous house.

The first floor has a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, computer room and a bedroom, and the space-saving built-in shelves and cabinets under the stairs occupy an entire wall.

The wooden stairs go up along the wall, but the layout of the second floor is very simple.

As soon as you go upstairs, you can see a large sofa bed and a semi-circular sofa with low legs, and a bookshelf next to it, which is used as a place for leisure and rest.

Further inside are two bedrooms and a bathroom.The balcony is large and covered. In winter, the windows are closed to prevent the air from getting airtight, and the heating is also connected to the balcony. There are two rattan chairs and a round wooden table in the middle, surrounded by newly purchased green plants. Because of the environment Warm and vibrant.

Tang Yi likes this balcony very much. The walls and windows are all white. It is very comfortable to take a nap on the balcony in the winter afternoon, but this kind of leisure is a bit of a luxury for them who are busy.

Tang Yi and the others moved into their new home in early December, and invited Leo, Lin Mo, Cui Zhixun, Sun, Lin Jiahui, Xiaod, Song Lin, Yan Xuan, Li Xinran and Mika Chen to celebrate.Tao Kewei is preparing for pregnancy recently, and she rarely shows up on such occasions, but she still asked her husband to send her a housewarming gift.

These people are people in the circle who know the relationship between Tang Yi and Jing Chen, and have never looked at them with colored eyes. Tang Yi is very relieved of them.

Now that they have come to their new residence, it is inevitable for them to meet Jing Ye.

One Jingchen was enough to amaze them, and the addition of another handsome guy who was so beautiful was almost blinding them.

"If the two of you enter the entertainment circle together, we will have no way out." Leo joked.

However, although Jing Ye once wanted to try out the feeling of being a star, but it has been too long and the freshness has passed, and seeing Tang Yi and Jing Chen are so tired of rushing to make announcements every day, the entertainment industry has already Lost interest, but fell in love with bar management these days.

After drinking and eating, a few women chatted about skin care and gossip on the second floor. Jing Ye seemed very interested and joined them.

Jingchen and Sun were chatting on the sofa in front of the French windows on the first floor, and the rest of them were chatting in the sofa area of ​​the living room.

"By the way," Tang Yi suddenly thought of something, and turned to ask Cui Zhixun, "Didn't Xiaoxun say that he planned to take the role before, and did he go for an audition later?"

Cui Zhixun seemed unwilling to say more, so he just gave a vague "hmm".

"When did it happen?" Leo didn't hear him mention it, and asked, "Did you pass the audition?"

Choi Ji-hoon nodded.

"I can use you to audition, let me guess, is the play Guo Lei's or Liu Kai's? Or Xu Linhui's?"

Both Liu Kai and Xu Linhui are famous directors similar to Guo Lei. They have worked with countless big names. These three have many classic works in their hands. They are one of the few who are qualified to choose actors at will. A director who might say no.

"Xu Linhui's play, a martial arts movie in ancient costume."

"Is it "Battle Hymn"?" Yan Xuan, who was not very talkative, was originally silent, but suddenly interrupted at this moment.

"Yes, have you heard of it?"

Yan Xuandao: "I've seen the original work of this play, and originally wanted to contact the author about the adaptation..."

He stopped talking at this point, and his eyes dimmed.

Several people understood what was going on without him saying it. Yan Xuan, who had never had a good reputation, would suffer too much if he competed with Xu Linhui.

What's more, even if it wasn't Xu Linhui, if other directors were willing to take over, the chance would not be for Yan Xuan.

"Tell me, who has auditioned? Is the cast list down?" In order to adjust the atmosphere, Leo asked Cui Zhixun.

Cui Zhixun glanced at Tang Yi, vaguely mentioned a few names, and did not mention Luo Jingyao.

In fact, he didn't really want to premise this play with Tang Yi.

Although Tang Yi also encouraged him, acting with Luo Jingyao made him feel like betraying Tang Yi.

Even though he knew that he was thinking too much, but he cared about Tang Yi's feelings very much, but he couldn't help but think this way and couldn't extricate himself.

As if guessing something, Tang Yi looked at Cui Zhixun with a hint of clarity in his eyes.

Luo Jingyao.

Regardless of his character, that man is a remarkable person in filming. It may not be a bad thing for Cui Zhixun to film with him, he will always learn something.

What's more, I haven't had contact with him for a long time. As long as I deliberately avoid it, it is very difficult to meet him in such a busy entertainment circle.

He was no longer so responsive to Luo Jingyao.

"In short, keep working hard, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, although you are already very good, but you still have a long way to go to become a god," Tang Yi said to Cui Zhixun, "let's work hard together, one day we will stand at the highest point, If I'm one step slower than you, be sure to wait for me there."

Looking at Tang Yi's gentle expression, which obviously knew something, and listening to his words of encouragement, Cui Zhixun lost his mind for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Tangtang..."

"Ok?"

Cui Zhixun opened his mouth and was about to speak when someone pressed his shoulder suddenly.

He turned his head to look at Leo beside him, who glanced at him with a smile, alarm bells were ringing in his mind, and he turned away with a complicated expression: "No, it's nothing."

Tang Yi glanced back and forth between him and Leo suspiciously, vaguely feeling that these two people seemed to be hiding something from him.

After Tang Yi moved, the landlord on Yan Xuan's side happened to have asked to withdraw the rent, so he told Tang Yi, settled the bill with the landlord, and moved to Tang Yi's place the next day.

The rent of 500 yuan per month is the same as the previous house, but the comfort of his house is far worse.

When Yan Xuan moved, Tang Yi went to help, and when he was packing, he found that he had a lot of valuable clothes and sundries, which did not seem to belong to Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan has always been simple, except for the necessary clothes, it is rare to see him using any luxury items.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, then remembered that Yan Xuan said that there was a man who was said to be one year younger than him living here,

But I didn't see it last time I came here, and I didn't show up this time when I moved. Tang Yi was a little puzzled.

I asked about that person before, but Yan Xuan seemed reluctant to talk about it. Tang Yi felt that the relationship between the two might not be good, so he didn't ask.

Days were going on step by step, and one day in mid-December, it was just eight o'clock in the evening when Tang Yi finished dealing with Sun in the studio.

Except for the nightly announcements recently, he is rarely as busy as before.

The operation of the studio has stabilized, except that occasionally Sun is too busy to come and Tang Yi and Xiao D come to help, usually there is no need for him to come back here after work every day.

Little D has gradually taken over some management matters under Sun's guidance. Sun seems to be interested in training him, and discussed with Tang Yi about hiring him an assistant.

I am used to working with Little D, although Tang Yi is reluctant to part with it, it is a good thing for Little D.

Although this kid is very content with the status quo and doesn't make much progress in self-awareness, he is extremely smart. Being an assistant all the time is a bit of a shame. Tang Yi also thinks this is the best arrangement for his future.

Although this matter has not been told to Xiao D Ming, but he is also good at observing words and deeds. When Sun continued to slowly introduce some contacts to him, he probably understood the thoughts of Sun and Tang Yi. Recently, he worked harder and harder.

Tang Yi thought that it was time to release the recruitment advertisement, so he explained it to Little D and started recruiting.

Finding an assistant also takes a period of adjustment, and Xiao D can also get used to the transformation from assistant to backbone while handing over the new assistant.

After finishing the last few things, Tang Yi stretched his waist, and said to Little D and Sun who were still busy at the side: "I'm done here, you guys should go back early."

Little D agreed.

Sun put down the mouse in his hand and stood up: "Wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you, go out and talk."

Tang Yi glanced at him, packed his things, and Sun made a cup of coffee by the way.

The two sat down at the desk outside, and Sun asked straight to the point: "Do you have any plans to make a record?"

"Records?" Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"You are an artist in all aspects, what's so strange about releasing a record?" Sun looked down at the fingers circling around the rim of the white mug.

"I mean why so suddenly?"

Although Tang Yi had this idea countless times, he felt that it was not the right time to release an album, and Sun should understand this better than him.

If we stick to it for a few more years, we will find that we will save more time and energy in this aspect. It is a bit too hasty to say this suddenly now.

"Although Mika Chen's production team is not the best in the record industry, it is also very rare. Shen Jia also expressed his willingness to write lyrics for you. As for sponsorship and investment, this is not something you need to consider. Just give me an answer. At present Do you have the energy to make a record?"

Tang Yi looked at Sun in a daze.

He had thought about so many things, making Sun's words seem so simple that it couldn't be simpler, but in fact, it was very complicated and complicated to implement what seemed to be a few words.

"But Brother Sun—"

"Tang Yi, who do you think the Tang Dynasty studio was established for?" Sun quickly interrupted Tang Yi and said with a smile, "If you can't even meet your wishes, our team is a failure too. .”

"..." Tang Yi met Sun's sincere gaze, and pursed the corners of his lips, "I figured it out."

"Wouldn't it be better if you said it earlier?" Sun took a sip of his coffee and got up, "Okay, you should go back earlier and be careful on the road."

Tang Yi watched him go back to the office, and went to the parking lot to pick up the car in a daze. When he drove halfway, he felt that the matter Sun mentioned to him was a bit untrue.

Is a knot that has been entangled in my heart for so many years going to be untied like this?

He debuted again, and all his disciples from four years ago were completely squandered by time.

He hasn't even made half a step in the singing industry, and he has only achieved a little success in the film and television industry. Who would be willing to invest in his records?

Although he could pay for it himself, it was too extravagant for Tang Yi.

He can pay to help friends he is willing to help, such as Yan Xuan's time, but when it comes to himself, he is unwilling to do unsure things.

Although Sun said he didn't need to think about it, it was still impossible for him to think about nothing.

Just now he nodded and agreed in a feverish manner, but when he calmed down, he suddenly felt that he was a little too reckless.

He wanted to call Sun to discuss this matter again, but the other party directly refused to answer his call as if he knew in advance that he would have such thoughts.

After calling three times but being refused to answer, and then calling little D but still not answering, Tang Yi sighed and gave up.

When the car was about to arrive home, it happened that Qin Yan sent Jing Chen back. Seeing the nanny's car driving in front, Tang Yi thought about buying another car recently.

The car he drives now was given to Jing Chen by him, but since both of them have to use the car, Jing Chen has always prioritized his convenience.

Although the company provided Jingchen with a special nanny car, it was obviously not as convenient as owning a car.

Find an unannounced free time and go check out the car.

After making up his mind, the car drove to the garage door.

Jing Chen had already opened the garage door and was waiting for him at the door, and closed the door after Tang Yi came out.

"It's so late today?" Jing Chen frowned, and put his arms around Tang Yi's waist when he entered the elevator, "Have you eaten yet?"

Tang Yi pushed his hand away: "There is monitoring, how many times have I told you?"

The fox pouted, very upset, but obediently did not hug him again.

Although the monitoring can be disturbed by using the supernatural power, Tang Yi said that he can't use it at any time. He didn't want Tang Yi to worry, and he never used it since then.

"Have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

"What to eat?"

"Meat, I want to eat meat recently."

The two talked about the old couple, got off the elevator and walked towards the house.

Jingchen cooks in the kitchen, wearing a floral apron with white background and floral flowers that she gave when she bought tableware in the mall when she moved, she looks a bit like a housewife.

Tang Yi leaned against the kitchen door and watched him more and more proficiently stir-fry. He seldom cooks recently, and Jingchen almost does all the housework.

Sometimes when Jing Ye was at home, he would be curious to learn how to cook, but after learning a few dishes, he lost interest.

Compared with Tang Yi's liking, Jing Ye is always so impatient in many things.

"Ear, Brother Sun suddenly mentioned to me about making a record today." Watching Jingchen cooking, Tang Yi chatted with him about it.

"Really?" Jingchen poured a small amount of water into the pot to simmer, and went to the chopping board to cut vegetables, "What did Tangtang plan?"

"I promise—"

"Is it~"

I don't know if it was an illusion, Tang Yi suddenly felt that his tone of voice was a bit strange, but he didn't think too much, and continued: "But I thought about it again on the way back, and suddenly felt that my promise was a bit too hasty."

Jing Chen turned his head to look at him, then lowered his head and continued cutting vegetables, and asked casually, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Tang Yi looked down at the toes that were unconsciously grinding on the floor, and slowly talked about the conversation between him and Sun and the things he thought about on the way back.

"If you want to do it, of course you have to do your best. At least you need to have a seven-figure investment, which is not a small amount. As far as I am concerned, if it is a movie, it is fine, but the album is a bit... ..."

"You've been worrying about this all this time?" Without listening to him continue, Jing Chen suddenly turned around again, looked at Tang Yi helplessly, opened his mouth to say something, paused, and swallowed what he almost said Going back, he said instead, "Why don't you have some confidence in yourself? You have always been a confident person, haven't you?"

"But the problem is—"

"Are you afraid that if you pull sponsorship, investors will not have confidence in you?"

Tang Yi nodded.

Jingchen smiled wryly.

I really don't know what to say about him.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have confidence in Sun and your team. From Sun to Lin Xiaoman, which one is not a powerful character, asking them to get some sponsorship is not to kill them."

"You're talking too much..."

"Ah, is the pot burnt?"

Hearing what he said, Tang Yi hurriedly turned off the fire, but swallowed back what he was about to say when he interrupted her.

"Don't think too much, just do what you want. This is why Sun opened a studio for you, isn't it?"

Tang Yi looked up at Jingchen's side face with his head lowered and earnestly chopping vegetables. He stood and thought for a while, and finally walked over and put his arms around the fox's waist, and buried his head on his back.

"You all are like this..."

"how?"

"You and Brother Sun," Tang Yi put his chin on his spine and pushed hard, "I put my priority in everything. If I get used to this, you will feel better in the future."

"So what?" Jingchen chuckled, "Tangtang deserves the best."

Tang Yi sighed with emotion.

After talking about this matter with Jing Chen, Tang Yi also figured it out, and did not say no to Sun again.

After that, I asked Shen Jia and Mika Chen to meet in the studio, and had a meeting with others.

After negotiation before and after, it was finally decided that Tang Yi's album will have a total of 10 songs, Shen Jia will make four songs for him, and Mika Chen will be responsible for the remaining six songs.

Mika Chen had all kinds of recording equipment, and it was not a problem to record the song after it came out. The only thing to consider was the investment, but within two days Sun told Tang Yi that the matter had been settled.

Thinking this was a bit too fast, I asked who Sun's investor was, and the other party mentioned a manufacturer that Tang Yi had never heard of.

At that time, Tang Yi only thought that small companies were willing to invest in such risky things, but he didn't think about other things.

This matter was decided in this way, Shen Jia and Mika Chen concentrated on writing songs, and Tang Yi began to pay attention to the box office of "Roots".

The box office during the pre-sale period was unsatisfactory. After the Christmas release, the box office of "Roots" in the words of the media properly expressed the fans' positioning of Yan Xuan's movies. Even a strong star cast could not save him.

The media even predicted the possible box office situation of this movie, and said that although the filming of the power supply was successfully completed this time, it will probably lose everything in the end.

Some small newspapers even made very ugly words, even Tang Yi, who has always been reluctant to care about these things, wished to find the people who wrote these reports and tear their nonsense mouths.

However, after the previous week's release, "Roots", which had a poor box office, gradually became popular in the second week.

Many people kept calling it impossible, but Tang Yi, who had been following the dynamics on the Internet, understood what was going on.

In the past few days, when he has nothing to do, he browses the website related to the movie. At first, a few sporadic people who watched the movie recommended "Roots". Many people said that it could not be as good as they said. Went to the cinema to watch a movie.

However, they dismissed those people's praise and changed their previous attitude after watching the movie.

Sometimes the power of netizens is very powerful.

People who believed it would naturally buy a ticket to go to the cinema, and those who didn't believe it would go to the cinema with the mentality of going to see if it was worth the hype that those people said.

From the second week until mid-January, the box office of "Roots" has surpassed everyone's imagination, successfully topped the box office, and occupied the fourth place in the box office of movies in the same period.

Although there are still three movies on the list, I don't think it is any better than "Roots" after watching it in person, but for Tang Yi, Yan Xuan, and Leo, it is already a very good result.

When the fourth-ranked box office statistics came out, Yan Xuan was so excited that he didn't care that it was already early in the morning, so he called Tang Yi immediately.

He was so excited that he spoke incoherently on the phone, and Tang Yi heard a faint choked voice.

Tang Yi was in the same mood as him, but much calmer than him.

This kind of scene has been experienced too much, and there are always some unexpected things in the entertainment circle.

Half an hour had passed by the time Yan Xuan calmed down. Realizing that he had woken Tang Yi up from sleep, he exchanged a few words of embarrassment and hung up the phone.

He calmed down a lot, but Tang Yi, who turned off his phone and went back to his room, directly woke up Jing Chen who was still sleeping.

After holding Jingchen and sharing the good news with him, the fox woke up from the state of pouting and complaining that he didn't get enough sleep, threw Tang Yi on the bed and wagged his tail for sex.

The excited Tang Yi naturally let him succeed, the satiated fox ate up Tangtang from the inside out,

On January 20th, the Wanhua Awards were held. Yan Xuan's "Root" was unexpectedly shortlisted for two awards. Of course, he did not defend the title in the end, but it gave Yan Xuan confidence.

He even began to look forward to the day when the Golden Dragon Award that he was worried about would arrive.
