After ending the call, Qian Cheng's mind was filled with what Wang Tie had just said.
Transform?
What transformation?
Could it be like in the movies, transforming into a wolf on a full moon night?
"Pfft —"
Qian Cheng sneered. He didn't believe Wang Tie's bullsh * t. However, there were not many people who could make Wang Tie give up the task directly and refund the money so decisively. It could even be said that it was very rare. Could it be that after the last prison disaster, the paparazzi king became timid?
Thinking about it that way, it was not impossible.
Qian Cheng's fingers drummed on the table as he recalled every word Wang Tie had said. He pondered a few things. Could it be that Wang Tie was afraid of the other party's status?
Could it be someone in Yanzhou's upper echelons that made Wang Tie afraid? Normal people in the upper echelons would not make him act this way. Could it be those bigwigs at the top of Yanzhou?
Qian Cheng's brain started to think limitlessly, and a trace of apprehension arose in his heart. Although they reported a lot of entertainment news, when it came to bigwigs, they had to make other plans. Some things could not be said even if they knew. If he were Wang Tie, he would also keep his mouth shut in such a situation. As for the possibility of Wang Tie making a mistake, Qian Cheng simply did not consider it.
Wang Tie making a mistake? Ha, is that possible?! Qian Cheng did not believe it.
On the other side, Wang Tie did not know that a few words from him had caused Qian Cheng's thoughts to run wild and would be hard to pull back. Even if he knew, Wang Tie would not care. What other people thought had nothing to do with him. He was just puzzled. How had Fang Zhao recognized him?
Also, the last sentence he had said to Qian Cheng was not nonsense. He really felt that Fang Zhao was a completely different person online and offline. Most importantly, and what Wang Tie found most difficult to accept, was Fang Zhao's age.
If he did not say it out loud, no one would believe that the person who went on a killing spree in the game and could set off a hail of bullets was actually a refined composer who had graduated from university a year ago. Although there were many refined people in real life and violent in-game, this was the first time Wang Tie had seen someone like Fang Zhao.
Why had he not been able to find out? Because it was very difficult to link the two together!
Wang Tie's face contorted when he recalled how he had been recognized as soon as he entered the paper shop. Not only had he changed his appearance, but he had also disguised his figure. His aura was completely different from when he had snuck into the press conference. It was completely different from how he was in the game, but he had still been recognized. This made Wang Tie very uneasy. Wang Tie had agreed to film for the SilverLight team because he wanted to use this process to unravel the doubts in his heart and better understand Fang Zhao. This was the first time in his life he had encountered such a situation. If he didn't get to the bottom of it, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace!
Secondly, a lot of people in the entertainment circles knew that he had been released early. Given their heightened vigilance, it would be a little difficult for him to dig up some secret news about some big stars. Rather than spending more time fighting with them while they were erecting their shields, he might as well take on this job that Fang Zhao had thrown out. After all, the filming fee was not a small sum. Fang Zhao had even paid the deposit today after he had agreed to film. After finding out more about Fang Zhao, Wang Tie knew that Fang Zhao really did not lack money. It was not to the extent that he could not even afford this small fee.
As the famous paparazzi king of Yanzhou, he had never filmed a professional publicity film before. However, Fang Zhao had asked him to film from the perspective of a war reporter, so he could only give it a try. He had really been a war reporter before. This was one of the reasons he had been released early due to his meritorious service. Regarding this point, it was just as Fang Zhao had said. He had not lied.
"Huo Li" was a sockpuppet he had created after being released. It was to remind himself not to get caught and thrown in jail again. This sort of experience, just once was enough. His in-game ID was also this. Fang Zhao had added him to the team at the last minute to facilitate communication and understand the filming progress.
Although Wang Tie was hated by people in the entertainment circles, every time they needed someone to investigate a certain celebrity, they would still look for Wang Tie. Why? First, it was his ability. Second, it was his reputation. He knew a lot. The reason nothing had happened up until now, and many people had turned a blind eye to the balance, was because Wang Tie's mouth was tightly shut. However, if Wang Tie was really forced into a corner, it would definitely be a lose-lose outcome. Just look at that high official who had been pulled down from his pedestal and lost all his assets. Before Wang Tie had been sent to jail, he had even ruthlessly cut off the other party's escape route. This was where Wang Tie was ruthless. After all, he had nothing to lose. This incident had made many people gnash their teeth in hatred. This fellow had been able to get a reduced sentence for meritorious service even when he was locked up in outer space. How could he not be afraid?
But no one knew that every time Wang Tie was in front of Fang Zhao, he would be short of breath. He had no choice. He could not pretend or lie, and he could be caught on the spot. Compete in martial arts? Wang Tie's intuition told him that he would definitely be at a disadvantage. Scam the other party and then change his name and go somewhere else? Wang Tie really did not want to. He felt that this was even more useless. One could not hide forever. He still had a long life ahead of him. Therefore, he could only face it head-on.
What else could he do? He was also in despair!
As per Wang Tie's request, when Fang Zhao had told Wayne about the matter, he had only mentioned Huo Li, who had experience as a war correspondent, and not Wang Tie, who was very famous in the industry. Wayne knew that Fang Zhao had not told the whole truth, but since this was the other party's request, he did not pursue the matter. Furthermore, Wayne only had one request: shoot a good video. When the time came, he would have to inspect it. If it was not up to standard, then he would have to use the company's cameraman.
"Oh, Fang Zhao, when the time comes, will you compose the accompaniment music for the promotional video, or will you let Pegasus do it? It just so happens that Pegasus has recently completed two major film accompaniment music projects and just got some free time, "Wayne said.
Fang Zhao knew that Wayne had not finished speaking, so he asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"Then, I was thinking, should we just let the people from 'Pegasus' do it this time? Aren't you very busy? "Wayne suggested.
"What other reasons do you have? Just say them all," Fang Zhao said.
"Uh, actually, I just feel that your style of music is not very suitable for the majority of gamers. It's not that your compositions are not good. Everyone can see the results for themselves, and they have gained the recognition of professionals in the music industry. However, Fang Zhao, even though I don't know much about eSports, I know what gamers like. Your work contains too many things, and it also combines classical and modern elements. However, my suggestion is that you don't need music that has a lot of connotation, but it must be explosive enough. The kind of explosive power that is simple and straightforward to the ear! Try to reduce the classical elements as much as possible and increase the electronic elements. That is the mainstream preference of gamers these days. "
At this point, Wayne paused, as if deliberating carefully on how to express his intentions without incurring Fang Zhao's disgust. Wayne really did not want to offend Fang Zhao. Right now, Silver Light only acknowledged Fang Zhao as their boss. He, Wayne, was nothing. Thus, in order to realize his grand goals, Wayne knew that he had to appease Fang Zhao, but he would still say what needed to be said. After all, he was a businessman. Everything he thought was in the direction of the greatest benefits. Thus, when it came to choosing the musical style, he was more inclined to the company's ace studio. Hiring those professional producers of commercial copyrighted music to produce it would definitely be better.
"Continue," Fang Zhao said.
Wayne listened carefully and felt that Fang Zhao did not seem to be angry, so he calmed down and continued. "I really do not mean to say that your compositions are not good, but our publicity videos are mainly for gamers to watch. They will definitely be the audience for music, but this type of people mostly come into contact with electronic equipment, especially some veteran gamers. What they appreciate is more electronic. Although they might not dislike your previous' 100-Year Period of Divine Punishment 'series, if you change it to a different style, the effects will be better."
Fang Zhao was not someone who would not listen to suggestions. He was indeed seriously listening to opinions and suggestions. What Wayne said was not entirely correct, but most of it was correct.
"Therefore, why don't you let Pegasus finish it this time? You just need to lead the team. Didn't you say that you will be serving in the military next year? There will definitely be a lot of things to do now, so there is no need to waste your energy on this," Wayne advised.
"Speaking of styles, can you recommend a few songs?" Fang Zhao asked.
Wayne knew that Fang Zhao had not given up. He paused for a bit before saying, "It's that kind of more explosive feeling. Sigh, I am also not a music student, so I don't know how to express it. How about this?" Wayne's eyeballs moved rapidly as countless ideas flashed through his mind in a few seconds. After that, he said, "Go to a nightclub at night, I will recommend a few to you."
Blah blah blah, the names of three nightclubs came out of his mouth. Wayne even mentioned which shops were most suitable to enter at that time. At that time, he would definitely be able to hear it. Just one look and one could tell that he was a veteran.
"The music that is commonly used there is the type that I mentioned. Just treat it as gathering material, listen to it, and see if you can do it. When the time comes, we can talk about it again, alright? Young man, don't be so serious every day. Look at you, that lifestyle, you look like an old man. Look at the people your age in the company, which one of them is like you?
Be more lively, be more passionate. If you don't know how to find excitement on the Internet, why not take this opportunity to go to those nightclubs and have some fun. I will recommend a few to you. The style of music that is used there is something that I like a lot. It is explosive enough! You can go there and enjoy the stimulation of your hearing. They are all high-end places. For professionals like you who have high requirements for audio equipment, going there will definitely not go wrong. Anyway, the expenses for gathering materials are all public expenses and can be reimbursed by the company. Don't worry, don't delete the electronic bill. When the time comes, when you apply for reimbursement, I will be your witness. Director Duan will also understand you. "
Wayne said a lot, the gist of which was: All expenses will be reimbursed by the company. Hurry up and go to the nightclubs to gather materials!
After the call ended, Fang Zhao looked at the communications device and pondered over what Wayne had just said.
Like an old man?
