Chapter 786
: The title was quickly determined.
Gu Cheng first looked around Jinli's surroundings.
Seeing that she lived in an apartment she bought off-campus, he first asked, "Didn't you go out to do any gigs today?"
Today is Saturday. As usual, she would attend brand events nearby on weekends, not far from Beijing.
Jinli smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is recently? The exam is next week. Sister Fang is worried that my grades will not keep up, so she specially canceled all her announcements so that I can concentrate on preparing for the exam."
Gu Cheng reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows, a look of fatigue crossing his face.
"Ever since the New Year's Eve party, when the March Sky group made a limited comeback, Guang Ge has been pushing our schedules to the limit, without caring that I'm a student."
I ran so fast I was dizzy and forgot that final exams were approaching and I had to go back to school for them.
He said this with a hint of resentment.
When Gu Cheng first became a student at Tsinghua or Peking University, Zhang Guang was quite hesitant, after all, they were the prestigious Tsinghua and Peking University.
Celebrities only need to have a good face, but getting into Tsinghua and Peking University isn't just about having a good face.
However, after studying at Tsinghua and Peking University for three years, Zhang Guang also learned about the situation of Gu Cheng's major. In addition, Gu Cheng went out to film and took a long leave of absence for several months. After returning to school, he was able to keep up.
Therefore, in Zhang Guang's eyes, Gu Cheng is the type who is very adept at directing.
Besides, isn't the point of directing to go out and shoot a lot?
So Zhang Guang didn't hesitate to take Gu Cheng to run around doing promotional appearances, so that he could learn more from the directors on various film sets.
Gu Cheng did put up a fight.
He specifically sought out Brother Guang to solemnly declare the importance of studying at school and that the professor would no longer give him leave so easily.
As a result, Guang Ge casually uttered a sentence that immediately knocked him out.
Guang said slowly, "Professor? Don't worry, I've already spoken with all the professors in your department before I dragged you out to do these gigs. They'll give you a special leave slip and allow you to come out."
Gu Cheng was taken aback by these words and subconsciously asked, "How did you do that?"
He didn't believe that Zhang Guang could get leave so easily.
Guang smiled slightly: "Your professors hope to invite more well-known directors to give lectures in the directing department. I said I could help them make connections, so they allowed you to take leave."
Gu Cheng: ...
"I'd rather die than you, my friend. He was betrayed by the professor."
So he had to start his busy schedule of running around for gigs from New Year's Day, losing track of time.
Jinli's words reminded Gu Cheng, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief, smiling as he said:
"I was just thinking of taking a few days off, and now I have an excuse. The professor can grant me leave so I don't have to go to school, but he can't possibly exempt me from the exams too."
Gu Cheng wasn't this lazy before, but after being with Jin Li, he suddenly felt that the pace of life didn't have to be so fast.
Going slower is fine too.
Jinli smiled brightly at him: "Then don't tell Zhang Guang that I reminded you."
Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Am I that kind of person?"
He seemed to have thought of something, and changed the subject: "But what you said carries a lot of weight with Brother Guang. He'd rather believe you than us."
His voice suddenly turned pitiful, "Why don't you put in a good word for us with Brother Guang, so we won't be treated like cattle?"
Jinli said, word by word, "No, you have to solve your own problems."
After the two joked around for a while, Gu Cheng finally brought up what Jin Li wanted to know.
He deliberately chatted with Jinli for so long before getting to the point. After all, couples don't usually get together, so if they talk in such a businesslike manner, how can their relationship grow?
Talking more about daily life, even small things like cooking and household chores, can give each other a sense of security and comfort.
So whenever Gu Cheng had the chance, he would chat with Jin Li about everyday things. They could talk about anything, as long as they could communicate.
Gu Cheng asked curiously, "Why did you ask about whether any of the celebrities who participated in the Spring Festival Gala were injured?"
Jinli didn't hide anything from him: "My agent told me that she received a call from the director of the Spring Festival Gala, inviting me to participate in the Spring Festival Gala."
But it's already early January, and the Spring Festival is on February 5th. The time is too tight; there's no way to cut in line like this. I'm not some kind of person with connections who can pull strings everywhere.
"This..." Gu Cheng also felt something was amiss, "It's really not right."
"Although March Sky also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala is very secretive. Our rehearsals were recorded separately, and we did not know about the other programs."
However, I suspect some celebrities have also received invitations to the Spring Festival Gala. I'll try to find out for you.
Upon hearing this, Jinli couldn't help but ask, "Since the secrecy is so strict, there won't be any problems if you help me find out, will there?"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "No, we were just talking privately. We were just asking if any of the celebrities who were invited to the Spring Festival Gala had been injured and had to withdraw. We weren't asking about the content of their performances. It's okay."
Time flew by and it was Sunday the next day.
Before Gu Cheng could find out any information, Jin Li had to go to a certain stage location to talk to the Spring Festival Gala's director about the program.
Because time is tight, everything needs to be accelerated.
Sui Lingfang had spoken to Jinli in advance, and it was estimated that Jinli's performance program would be finalized today.
Jinli thought to herself: If her performance program can be finalized in just one day, this speed is incredibly fast, even compared to other galas.
However, putting it on a large and grand event like the Spring Festival Gala is a bit too frivolous.
Well, the world is just a giant makeshift operation.
Used to it.
Jinli arrived at the stage location, where the director was already waiting.
The director had a serious expression and was very capable of keeping the scene under control.
Upon meeting Jinli, he first politely thanked her for taking time out of her busy schedule to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
Jinli immediately made some polite remarks, saying that she was grateful to the director for giving her the opportunity to come to the Spring Festival Gala stage.
After a few official remarks, the director started talking about Jinli's program.
"I would like to invite you to perform the theme song of the popular girl group Pink Girl, 'The Tree Closest to the Sun.' This song is positive and uplifting, and it can be very inspiring. It would be perfect for this Spring Festival Gala."
Jinli pondered for a moment and said, "I can sing this song, but it is quite difficult. If I sing it alone, my voice will be a bit thin and won't be able to support the song's depth."
She didn't expect that the director had even arranged what song she would sing.
Since that's the case, she'll just go through the motions and sing whatever others tell her to do.
I just didn't expect that this would be the song I was going to sing...
Many of Pink Girl's songs have a cheerful and upbeat rhythm; in short, they are catchy pop songs that are not difficult to sing.
However, they also have a few songs that are quite difficult, one of which is "The Tree Closest to the Sun".
If this song were sung by Xi Mengze, she could hold the entire audience's attention by herself, but if it were sung by Jin Li, it would indeed be a bit weak.
She can say no to other songs, but she has to make this one clear.
The director pondered for a moment and said, "Then how should we arrange it so that your voice matches the song perfectly?"
Jinli said succinctly, "I need harmonies." (End of Chapter)
