Chapter 225 – Big Sister’s Reward
Lu Chen was still in the studio when he received the call from Mu Xiaochu.
After the original live broadcast room has been renovated and arranged with new equipment, it has become his exclusive work room.
However, Lu Chen didn’t live broadcast in the evening, nor did he arrange music or write music scores. Instead, he was writing something in the computer.
He was writing a screenplay for a TV series.
As a Computer Science graduate from Jianghai University, Lu Chen was very good with computers, but he has never done such a thing as writing a story, so he felt a sense of freshness and he was still in high spirits even after midnight.
Like many of his peers, Lu Chen used to read online novels. In recent years, the development of domestic online novels has been extremely rapid, ranking first in the world in terms of the number of authors and readers.
Xuanhuan, Xianxia, Urban, Games, Military…
He had read many popular works, but it never occurred to him that he would write one himself.
But in Lu Chen’s memory, the online literature in the dream world was also flourishing, with similar subject matter and it also has a lot of classics, which were clearly engraved in his mind, without any mistakes!
Interestingly, from the memories of the three people, Mo Ran has read the most online novels.
Instead of Fang Mingyi, a freelance writer.
If Lu Chen hadn’t embarked on the road of music, he would have made a lot of money by transferring these works from the Dream World to online literature websites.
Art was interlinked, and the same was true of online literature!
The screenplay he was writing now wasn’t an existing novel. Instead, it was from a TV series he has seen in the memories. He took the plot and event of the story, added some things, and edited it.
As for the experience of writing a screenplay, it came from Fang Mingyi.
From yesterday to now, Lu Chen has written a 5,000-character story outline and 30,000 characters of the screenplay of the first two episodes!
At the beginning, his speed was very slow. He could only finish a thousand characters an hour at most.
However, after getting started, his speed accelerated. Today, he typed out more than 20,000 characters on the keyboard.
At this rate, a total of 20 episodes of the TV series would be completed in 10 days.
He had just finished encoding the second episode when his cell phone rang.
Lin Zhijie?
As soon as he saw the phone number displayed on the screen, Lu Chen immediately connected and answered it: “What instructions does Mr. Lin have?”
After a period of working together, he and this director of Flying Stone Records, Lin Zhijie, now have a very good relationship. They could make some harmless jokes with each other and could be regarded as friends.
But what came out from the cell phone was a shy female voice: “Teacher Lu, this is Xiaochu. Have you rested?”
Mu Xiaochu?
Lu Chen was stupefied for a moment, but immediately smiled and said, “Are you still working? What are you doing?”
Mu Xiaochu was obviously relieved and said, “I am in the company, Director Lin and the others are all here. He asked me to tell you that our album is selling very well. Thank you!”
Lu Chen remembered that tonight was the release day of MSN’s album “Not Yet Lovers”, and it was normal for them and the people of Flying Stone Records to watch the sales results. Yesterday, Lin Zhijie even invited him over the phone.
It was just that he was busy writing the screenplay now that he has forgotten all about it.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “Don’t mention it. I was paid to do this. I really must congratulate you!”
“Not Yet Lovers” was a big hit. With the strength of Flying Stone Records, MSN was bound to soar into the sky.
This was the advantage of being in an agency and having backers. Unlike Lu Chen, who has to rely on his own work hard to win opportunities so the he wouldn’t be easily rejected when he goes to an audition.
However, he would not regret the path he has chosen.
After chatting with Mu Xiaochu, Lu Chen hung up.
He knew very well why Lin Zhijie asked Mu Xiaochu to call him to report about the good news, which was also a good thing for him.
The better “Not Yet Lovers” sells, the higher the value of Lu Chen’s works.
In the past, he quoted more than 200,000 yuan or even 300,000 yuan for a song, which scared off many people.
Everyone thought ‘you are just a newcomer and you unexpectedly dare to offer the top price, it is simply a lion’s big mouth’.
With the exception of Light Rain Media, who has tasted sweetness, basically no one wanted to be the fool.
So, the works Lu Chen have sold was really very few.
However, the situation was completely different now. With “You Who Sat Next To Me” as the foundation, plus MSN’s hot selling “Not Yet Lovers” and Chen Fei’er’s new album, which will be released in a while.
He has created great interest in the circle and planted the banner of his own name.
The price could be opened higher, comparable to that of a big shot’s!
It wasn’t that Lu Chen was greedy, but the price represents the one’s position, which in turn determines the price.
If the two didn’t match, unless it was for other reasons such as a favor, it would be taken as a joke.
Ding-dong ~.
Just as Lu Chen put down his cell phone and was ready to encode the screenplay for the third episode, the doorbell rang.
Who could it be?
He couldn’t help being surprised. He got up and went out of his work room to open the door.
It was already past 12 o’clock. Lu Chen was alone in the studio, and no other employees were there.
However, in this building, there were many people in other companies working overtime until midnight, and there were even a lot of employees living in offices.
Perhaps some neighbor came by to borrow a bag of coffee.
But when Lu Chen opened the door, he was dumbfounded by the person who appeared in front of him.
“Sister Fei?”
Although the other party was in disguise and was wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, Lu Chen recognized her at a glance.
It was actually Chen Fei’er!
Chen Fei’er was carrying a big bag in her hand. She smiled and took off her glasses, and asked, “Am I not welcome?”
“Welcome, warmly welcome!”
Lu Chen immediately became excited and said hurriedly, “it’s just that it so late…”
What did she come to his studio for?
Chen Fei’er shook the bag in her hand and said, “I know you’re going to stay up late, so I brought you midnight snacks.”
Lu Chen’s heart was overwhelmed by a warm feeling.
From being unfamiliar to familiar and then to being close, the relationship between the two was getting closer and closer, and they were in constant contact with each other.
The two had just chatted in QQ, so Chen Fei’er knew that he was working overtime alone in the studio.
What Lu Chen didn’t expect was that she actually brought the midnight snacks herself.
He was really moved!
Chen Fei’er said with a smile, “Are you just going to stand there looking silly? Are you not going to ask me to go in and sit down?”
“Come in quickly…”
Lu Chen hurriedly took the bag in her hand and led her in before closing the door.
Chen Fei’er didn’t look like an outsider as she followed Lu Chen to his work room.
This wasn’t the first time that Chen Fei’er has been to Lu Chen’s studio.
She saw the document displayed on the computer screen at a glance, and her eyes lit up: “Are you still writing the screenplay?”
“Yes…”
Lu Chen put the bag down, then brought a chair and asked her to sit down: “I just finished the second episode.”
Chen Fei’er asked, “Can you print it out for me to see?”
This was of course not a problem. The studio was equipped with a laser printer. Lu Chen printed out the outline of the story that he has already written, together with the screenplay of the first two episodes for Chen Fei’er to see.
Chen Fei’er took the newly printed paper and said, “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Her eyes fell on the black characters on the white paper, and there was a look of curiosity in her eyes.
Two days ago, she heard Lu Chen said that he would write his own screenplay and play the leading role himself. Chen Fei’er thought he was angry and impulsive because he was rejected from the audition and didn’t take it too seriously.
However, this thick stack of paper showed that Lu Chen was serious!
This made Chen Fei’er felt very curious. What kind of story would Lu Chen write?
She had never known that Lu Chen had this talent in this area.
But his lyrics have always been very good.
There was a lot going on in her mind but Chen Feier’s attention was still focused on the manuscript paper.
The first thing she saw was the title of the TV series, which was called Autumn in My Heart.
This name was a bit unusual!
When Chen Fei’er began to read the outline of the story, Lu Chen was dealing with the midnight snacks she brought.
Two McDonald’s beef Big Macs, a large cup of strong coffee, and a box of fruit salad were enough for two average people to share, which, eaten at this point in the evening, would likely to turn into a lot of fat.
But Lu Chen was different. He exercised a lot every day. All these calories would be exhausted tomorrow morning. So, there was no need to worry about anything. He ate quickly while it was hot.
Lu Chen wiped out the entire midnight snack in only 10 minutes, and then he went to the bathroom to clean his mouth with mouthwash.
When he returned to his room, he found that Chen Fei’er’s expression wasn’t right.
Lu Chen was startled and asked, “Sister Fei, what’s the matter?”
Chen Fei’er’s eyes were red. She shook the paper in her hand and said, “This story is very good…”
She had finished reading the outline and knew what the plot of the story was about.
“I like it very much!”
Chen Fei’er stood up, stared at Lu Chen and said seriously, “if we start shooting. I want to play Yoon Eun-suh!”
“Ah?”
Lu Chen said with a wry smile, “Yoon Eun-suh?”
Yin Enxi was the female lead and the male lead’s younger sister!
Chen Fei’er said angrily, “Why not? Is it because I’m too old to play the part?”
Lu Chen immediately raised his hand in surrender: “No problem, you’re all that I could wish for!”
Age aside, Chen Feier’s face was young enough, and with proper makeup, there was no problem playing the role.
And if she could join this TV series, the publicity could save tens of millions!
The most important thing was being able to act together with Chen Fei’er…
Lu Chen felt that if he didn’t agree, he would become the world’s No.1 fool.
Hearing him agree, Chen Fei’er showed an intoxicating smile, and she whispered: “Close your eyes…”
What’s this?
Lu Chen closed his eyes obediently.
The next moment, he smelled an orchid-like fragrance, and then something soft and slightly wet touched his left cheek.
Then he heard Chen Fei’er chuckle in his ear and said, “This is big sister’s reward for you.”
Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel hot in his heart. He immediately opened his eyes and stretched out his arms and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him tightly in his arms!
He couldn’t bear it anymore!1
