Godfather above, I bow once to you.

After Jiang Feng obtained Jiang Xuerou's contact information, he called her that very night.

Jiang Xuerou happened to be in Beijing promoting "Xiao Shiyi Lang".

The two had a brief conversation on the phone and agreed on a time and place to meet.

The next afternoon, Jiang Feng met Jiang Xuerou at the same coffee shop near the Beijing Film Academy.

Jiang Xuerou is in her thirties and her looks are considered above average among ordinary people.

Of course, Jiang Feng wasn't interested in her; he wasn't that desperate.

"Hello, Sister Xue Rou."

"Hello, Jiang Feng, we meet again."

Jiang Xuerou never expected that her next meeting with Jiang Feng would be under these circumstances.

What surprised her even more was that the extra from six months ago had now become a well-known singer in the industry, and had even gained wider recognition for his role as Jian Chen in "Wind and Cloud," making him memorable to many viewers.

In fact, Jiang Xuerou had no memory of Jiang Feng for a long time. If Jiang Feng hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have remembered that Jiang Feng had played Xueying in "Xiao Shiyi Lang".

"Jiang Feng, I didn't know you could sing! Your song 'Lilac Flower' is really popular online lately..."

Jiang Xuerou wasn't just flattering her; "Lilac Flower" was indeed very popular.

Not only "Lilac Flower", but also the theme songs of "Storm Riders" such as "The Wind and Clouds" and "Forever and Ever", and the theme songs of "The New Legend of Chu Liuxiang" such as "The Flower is Too Fragrant" and "Flying Bird" have won the love of many viewers and netizens, and have also topped the music charts of some TV stations and radio stations.

With these five songs, Jiang Feng has gained a certain degree of fame in the entertainment industry.

After some mutual flattery, the two sides got down to business.

"Jiang Feng, don't bother two people at once. 'Xiao Shiyi Lang' is also missing a theme song, why don't you write it for him as well?"

Jiang Xuerou took a sip of coffee and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that you also acted in the drama 'Xiao Shiyi Lang,' so I think no one is more suitable than you."

Jiang Feng naturally had no objection to this.

Anyway, whether he herds one sheep or two, it makes no difference to him whether he writes one poem or two.

Post-production on "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is complete, and it is expected to air this month. Now, only the theme song is missing.

Wu Qilong, Zhu Yin, and Yu Bo have already started traveling around promoting their work.

Jiang Xuerou told Jiang Feng about her requirements for the theme song.

"Actually, there aren't any special requirements. As long as it's a nice and touching love song, it doesn't have to fit the theme of the TV series."

Jiang Feng asked, "So, it's okay even if the song and the TV series have absolutely nothing to do with each other?"

Jiang Xuerou nodded: "Yes, as long as it's a love song, that's fine. Of course, it would be even better if you could fit the plot of the TV series as closely as possible. It's okay if you can't do that. I know it's very difficult because I'm a lyricist myself."

Jiang Feng then learned that Jiang Xuerou was also a lyricist, and that she wrote the lyrics for "A Smile", the theme song of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Huang Haibing.

"So Xue Rou is not only a strong woman, but also a talented one!"

Jiang Feng gave a light, casual compliment.

Jiang Xuerou laughed and said, "Haha, what a load of rubbish, I'm far inferior to you."

She seemed to find the coffee a bit bitter, so she added a piece of sugar and stirred it with a spoon.

"Because 'Love Through Time' and 'Xiao Shiyi Lang' are about to premiere, we urgently need these two theme songs. Can you write them within this month?"

Jiang Feng said, "I can give it a try."

The other party's requirements were not many. They did not need to conform to the plot of the TV series. There were not many restrictions, and the creative freedom was very high.

Writing a love song was relatively easy for Jiang Feng.

Moreover, since it's a love song, it doesn't feel out of place in his album.

Jiang Xuerou frankly stated, "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. We've also looked into other musicians, and we'll use whoever's song is the best. So, it's not certain that we'll choose your song. Can you accept that?"

"I understand, people compare prices at different vendors when buying vegetables at the market."

Jiang Feng didn't care. Even if Jiang Xuerou didn't use his songs, he could still put them on his own albums. In short, it wouldn't be a waste.

After talking with Jiang Xuerou, Jiang Feng didn't go straight back to school. Instead, he bought some things and went to visit Wang Jinsong.

I heard that Wang Jinsong has been feeling unwell lately and is recuperating at home.

Although Wang Jinsong is no longer Jiang Feng's homeroom teacher, he is the vice dean of the performing arts academy, and Jiang Feng will still need his protection in the future.

One is Wang Jinsong, and the other is Yu Feihong.

With them protecting him, no one would say anything even if Jiang Feng skipped classes for a long time.

When Wang Jinsong saw Jiang Feng arrive with gifts, he naturally scolded him again and then asked him about the audition.

Wang Jinsong was very pleased to hear that Jiang Feng had passed the audition for Kunqu's new film.

"Well done, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

He asked when filming for "Kill Bill" would begin, and Jiang Feng said three months later.

"There are still three months left, that should be enough."

Wang Jinsong smiled and said, "I have a friend named Li Yang, who is a director. He is casting for his new film, and I recommended you to him. If you are interested, you can audition."

Jiang Feng was taken aback, and said awkwardly:

"Teacher Wang, there's something I haven't told you yet. Besides director Quentin Tarantino's new film, I also have to go to Hong Kong to film a crime thriller called 'The Departed,' starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung, so I'm afraid I won't have time..."

Wang Jinsong was stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, he laughed:

"Wow, you're doing well, acting alongside Andy Lau and Tony Leung!"

"In that case, you don't need to go to Director Li Yang's place. His film is just a niche art film, and it's not even certain whether it will be released. It can't compare to the big-budget films in Hong Kong."

Jiang Feng asked curiously:

"Teacher Wang, may I ask what movie it is?"

Wang Jinsong said, "It seems to be called 'Blind Shaft.' Li Yang showed me the script, and to be honest, I think that if the role is played well, it has a chance to win an international award."

"That's amazing?"

Jiang Feng looked regretful. "It's a pity I've already signed the contract, otherwise I would have gotten this role no matter what."

Wang Jinsong waved his hand, "There's nothing to regret. You always have to give up something in return. You have a long road ahead of you."

Jiang Feng thought of Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei, and said:

"Teacher Wang, I have two friends who are quite good actors and are also students at the Beijing Film Academy. Could we give them a tryout?"

"Of course! It's great that you're thinking of your friends. We Beijing Film Academy students are all about helping each other. What are the names of your two friends?"

"Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei."

"Okay, I'll tell Li Yang."

Wang Jinsong called Li Yang, and then said to Jiang Feng:

"Li Yang has already made arrangements. Just write down the audition time and address and have them go directly to the audition. That's all I can do. Whether they pass or not depends on their own abilities."

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Wang."

Back in the dormitory, Jiang Feng told Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei about it.

thump!

thump!

Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei knelt down at the same time, clasping their hands in a fist salute.

Zhang Songwen: "I have wandered for half my life, never encountering a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather."

Zhou Yiwei: "Me too!"

Zhang Songwen: "Godfather, please accept my bow."

Zhou Yiwei: "Me too!"

Zhang Songwen: "From now on, I am willing to follow my godfather by his side, serving him faithfully, holding his whip and stirring the stirrup, and going through fire and water without hesitation."

Zhou Yiwei: "Me too!"
