Today The Manager is Also Very Kind Ch. 53
There was almost no rest time. Over and over again, they practiced with the master tape for a full three hours before they were barely able to enter the next stage.
Xin Nanyi gave them twenty minutes to rest.
Q&P was lying on the ground to rest while drinking the milk ordered by Xin Nanyi. Their clothes seemed to have been caught in a heavy downpour and were completely soaked. The messy hair on their forehead was also wet with sweat and stuck to their face, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Xin Nanyi threw a towel to each of them and said, "Wipe the sweat, otherwise you will lose more than the gain if you catch a cold."
Q&P wiped the sweat obediently.
Xin Nanyi said, "From now on, before you practice, take a few more sets of practice clothes from the dormitory. When one set gets wet, go to the small room to change." He pointed to the small door in the corner.
After the break, Xin Nanyi asked them to start training directly with the accompaniment.
Xin Nanyi checked their performance while listening to the original song with headphones. It turned out to be full of loopholes. In desperation, he completely recorded their contact video during Q&P practice. After letting them complete the exercise, they could check and make corrections on their own.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Xin Nanyi called the sleepy Wang Xiaoming and asked him to prepare to drive Q&P back to the dormitory.
The training on the second day was the same again, first training with the original song, and then training with the accompaniment.
A week later, Q&P's strength had been greatly improved. After they had become accustomed to these two training methods, Xin Nanyi came up with new tricks.
Xin Nanyi introduced it like this, "You first sing and dance to the original song, and then sing and dance to this original song at double speed." Xin Nanyi raised the other CD in his hand.
In less than a month, Xin Nanyi must sharpen them into the sharpest sword. They were neither newcomers nor newcomers, so it was difficult to position them correctly, so they could only rely on their strength and not give outsiders any chance to find fault.
After the double speed training, there was still random dance, and there was still something to practice.
Xin Nanyi just watched them practice for a week and handed over the character to Qin Wenwen and Shen Che. As for himself, it was time to worry about filming the MV.
He relied on the memory of his previous life to write down the phone number of a music video director with whom he had collaborated many times. But he had trouble before dialing the number. How should he explain how he got the phone number?
After much thought, Xin Nanyi decided to use his identity from his previous life.
After the call was connected, a deep male voice came from inside, "Hello, hello, who are you?"
"Director Lu, my name is Xin Nanyi, and I am the manager of a girl group."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then he said, "I don't remember you working with me. How did you know my phone number?"
"Director Lu, this phone number was given to me by a deceased friend of mine."
There was another silence on the other side of the phone, and Xin Nanyi could imagine the man frowning in thought.
"My old friend's name is Ji Bu. He introduced you to me."
Lu Yiyang was shocked and said to himself. It was indeed him.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that he could still remember me in there. I thought he would forget about me after he went in and had fun!"
When Xin Nanyi heard the deep astringency behind his joke, he also said, "Yes! He has gone to a freer and cleaner place to enjoy himself now."
"Mr. Xin, since he is willing to give you his phone number, it means that you are his more important friend. If you have any questions, just tell me."
"Okay, let me get it straight. I just mentioned that I am the manager of a girl group. My girl group is going to release a new album recently, so I plan to ask you to direct the MV for this album."
"That's it. Are you in a hurry?"
"It's quite a rush. It will be back on the 15th next month."
"...It's quite a rush, but my team happens to be on vacation right now, so I can get them together to complete the MV for this album first."
Lu Yiyang had a dedicated team for MV shooting, which could handle all aspects of MV production, including MV content design, scene layout, lighting, editing, etc.
Xin Nanyi hesitated, "You are on vacation, wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
"No, they have been filming MVs of male singers this year. Finally, they won't refuse a girl group."
Xin Nanyi: "..."
The next day, the two made an appointment to meet, signed a contract and discussed some matters related to the MV.
When Lu Yiyang first saw Xin Nanyi, he saw the shadow of his old friend Ji Bu in him. His calm and gentle temperament seemed to come from the same person. If Lu Yiyang hadn't been a staunch communist and firmly believed in the materialism of Marxist philosophy, he would have almost thought that Ji Bu had resurrected his corpse.
Or could it be that Ji Bu had plastic surgery and became Mr. Xin and lived his life again?
Lu Yiyang shook his head, getting rid of the ridiculous thoughts in his mind. He and He Xuanlong brought Ji Bu's body back to the crematorium for cremation. How could he still be alive?
"Mr. Lu," Ji Bu ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and put the menu on the cover, "I would also like to thank Mr. Lu for signing the contract so happily!"
Lu Yiyang came back to his senses and said, "I never like procrastination. Since I have decided to cooperate with you, let's just sign it quickly so that we won't waste each other's time."
