Chapter 84 begins the process of making money and writing an album for the "Jade Girl".
He Xi turned around in surprise, only to find that Zhou Huimin had returned at some point and was standing behind her, clapping excitedly.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him without blinking, as if tears were about to spill from them!
Vivian Chow has always admired talented people.
Now, He Xi's musical talent is on par with that of outstanding music creators.
This made her even more satisfied.
At first, just as the magazine "yes!" said, she really was just using He Xi as a shield.
But after last night's experience, she really fell in love with this boy who was seven years younger than her, and even planned to use all her connections and resources to create a persona of a talented man for him.
When she faced media questions during the day, she said that He Xi would write songs and make movies, and that was the idea behind it.
Regardless of whether He Xi has talent or not, she is determined to mold him into one.
Big deal.
She writes songs herself, or commissions others to write songs, and then credits He Xi.
No matter what, we must elevate him to the status of a talented scholar.
But now she realizes that all her considerations were unnecessary.
He Xi is incredibly talented; his talent is almost overflowing.
"Last night you lied to me, saying that the poem 'Good Hearted Breakup' was written by one of your friends from mainland China."
"I was wondering, how could a mainland songwriter write a Cantonese song?"
"Now you've been exposed!"
"You sang that song just now, it was really beautiful, the lyrics and music were excellent, did you just write it today?"
"By the way, you signed an actor management contract with Xu Ke Studio, but you haven't signed with a record company yet, right?"
"Would you like me to introduce you to PolyGram Records?"
"Qinzi just switched to Starlight Records. The company is looking to recruit new talent, especially someone with songwriting abilities like you!"
Zhou Huimin said hopefully, He Xi neither agreed nor refused directly.
Join a record company, release records, hold concerts, and make money from fans.
This is a path that Hong Kong film stars inevitably take after achieving fame.
Almost every top-tier movie star you can name has released a record.
He Xi had long harbored the idea of developing both film and television and singing careers.
However, joining PolyGram now is not a good choice for him.
Zhou Huimin just said he sang very well, but He Xi knows that was just a compliment.
Or perhaps it's a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, a manifestation of loving someone because of their love for them.
In reality, He Xi's voice is only average; she can't reach high notes or low notes.
This is something that technology cannot compensate for.
He can't release an album consisting entirely of songs like "The Past You" and "Gardenia Blossoms," which have a narrow vocal range and lack technical skill.
Or, you could become a songwriter and write songs for others.
He Xi is also ambitious.
In the film industry, he has already made his debut as a villainous supporting actor.
Once he enters the music industry, he aims to make a name for himself.
So, let's wait a little longer.
When he falls asleep... cough, he encounters an opportunity that can change his voice, allowing him to amaze everyone the moment he opens his mouth.
Based on his current career trajectory and the prevailing trends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
That day shouldn't be too far away.
"Vivian, let's forget about signing with a record company for now, especially not the same company as you."
"That would easily make people think that I'm using your relationship again."
"Although I don't care what others say, I don't want you to continue being caught in the vortex of public opinion."
"So, please give me some time, okay?"
"Ah Xi, you're such a kind person!"
Zhou Huimin stepped forward emotionally, put her arm around He Xi's waist, and wanted to give him a loving hug.
He Xi, however, does not believe that love is something that is embraced, but rather...
"Wait, wait a minute, I have something else to tell you... um..."
It was two and a half hours later when the two of them finally came down.
"Ah... Ah Xi, are you... born in the Year of the Ox...?"
He Xi shook her head.
"I was born in 74, the Year of the Tiger."
Zhou Huimin immediately pouted.
"Am I referring to the Chinese zodiac? And also...?"
When two people are together, they can't talk about age, because it will only bring up painful memories.
After all, Vivian Chow is a full seven years older than He Xi, which is something the media likes to make a fuss about.
They say she's an old cow eating young grass, and that He Xi wants to climb the social ladder by relying on women.
The entertainment industry is really strange.
No one says anything about older men and younger women; it's even considered normal.
When a couple with an older woman and a younger man occasionally appears, they are often criticized, suspected, speculated about without reason, or even slandered.
If He Xi weren't so handsome, if we hadn't misunderstood and asked him to buy coffee, if the wind hadn't been so noisy that day...
Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.
Now that Zhou Huimin has experienced the giant chicken, it's impossible for her to separate from He Xi.
"Hmph, I'll teach you to talk nonsense again!"
After laughing and joking for a while, Vivian Chow suddenly spoke again.
"Ah Xi, can you write an album for me? I don't have high requirements, just that every song is at the level of 'A Good Breakup'."
He Xi rolled her eyes at her in return.
That's not asking for much. A song like "Good Hearted Breakup" is good enough to be the title track on any album!
However, after thinking about it, He Xi decided to agree.
He has recently been studying U.S. tax laws and has also consulted a lawyer specifically on this matter.
It was discovered that by doing certain things, such as engaging in charity work, a lot of taxes could be avoided.
Therefore, he no longer has the mindset he had at the beginning, which was to avoid making money for fear of being taxed globally.
It's important to become famous early, as it's not just about your status in the industry.
More importantly, it's about making small amounts of money!
If He Xi had tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in her hands right now.
He doesn't need to use Zhou Huimin's name or Yuan Jieying's money; he can just invest in making films himself.
There are so many examples of low-budget, high-return films in later generations that he can copy. Even if the timing is different and it will have an impact, if two or three out of ten films become hits, it will be enough for him to make a fortune.
So now, there's only one problem left.
Which songs should I write (or copy) for Vivian Chow?
As he was thinking about it, Vivian Chow assumed he was unwilling and added something.
"I'll personally go to the boss and I'll definitely increase your copyright revenue share to the maximum."
"Whether I sing these songs or someone else covers them, you'll receive a steady income!"
"At worst, I'll do it next time..."
He Xi raised an eyebrow.
"Why wait until next time?"
