Chapter 230 Being shot is impossible
"Sister Meng, are you sure you didn't get fooled? Me? Can I be on the Spring Festival Gala?!"
Sister Meng was used to seeing Qin Xi's shrewd face, so when she suddenly saw her rare silly look, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course it's true! How can an invitation personally sent by an official be fake?"
Qin Xi took a deep breath, shook his head and muttered.
"I still can't believe it. How can I be on the Spring Festival Gala? This... is too sudden!"
"Why is it so sudden? There are still two or three months before New Year's Eve, and the authorities have given you enough time to prepare! How is it, is it a surprise? Being able to perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is a great recognition and attention from the authorities. How can ordinary young actors get such treatment? If it were in ancient times, this would be a great event to bring honor to the family, and one would burn incense to celebrate!"
"Alas, I am really happy, but I am also really surprised. The Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live! The pressure is really great."
Qin Xi suddenly thought of an important question, but he was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that he forgot to ask it.
"What kind of performance do the officials want me to perform? It won't be singing, right?"
Sister Meng burst out laughing.
"Do you think the authorities don't do their homework before selecting people? Even if you want to make a fool of yourself, the authorities won't agree! I can predict that if you really go on stage to sing, one second you'll be on stage, and the next second 'Qin Xi lip-syncing at the Spring Festival Gala' will be the top trending search on Weibo~"
Qin Xi: “…”
This is too direct. Don’t I have any face?
Seeing Qin Xi's pretty face turned serious, Sister Meng stopped teasing her, "The official meaning is that they want you to dance!"
Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "Dancing is fine. Fortunately, it is dancing! Is it a solo dance, a lead dance, or a dance with a song?"
Sister Meng shook her head and said, "The authorities are still studying the specific form..."
Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and then raised his head again.
"The Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live, and the stage is slippery, so dancing is the easiest to make mistakes. Most importantly, I haven't practiced dancing since I became a golden lotus! If I don't practice for three days, the audience will know. I haven't practiced for almost three years!"
Qin Xi suddenly felt unprecedented anxiety.
Sister Meng asked suspiciously, "Aren't you still practicing [Yan Qing Chuan]? You even trained for so many days!"
Qin Xi collapsed and held her head, "Sister, what I practiced was martial arts! Not dance!"
"Oh, it's the same thing. Don't worry about it. If you have time to worry, you might as well use the time to practice basic skills. There are still three months left. Sister Meng believes in you! Is there anything that you, Qin Xi, can't do?"
Qin Xi sighed. In the past five years, with Qin Xi's continuous efforts, Sister Meng has not seen any increase in other aspects, but her mysterious trust in Qin Xi has increased year by year, and now it has reached the point of bursting. It is estimated that if Qin Xi now says that she is Iron Man and Superwoman, Sister Meng will not find it difficult to accept it.
Qin Xi still held on to some hope and made a very logical analysis.
"When I was in school, I heard that the Spring Festival Gala program review is very strict, especially the dance programs! The programs submitted are all top-notch programs that have been practiced for many years in the local area. After all, the length is there, and the probability of being rejected is very high! Of course, I am not trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige. I will definitely practice hard in the next few months! But I have to give you a shot of prevention, but if it is really rejected in the end, don't be too disappointed!"
Sister Meng was quite dismissive of Qin Xi's words and smiled confidently, "Impossible, forget it. No matter who is shot, you will never be shot!"
Qin Xi, "Why?"
What's going on? Has Sister Meng's confidence in her reached a blind level?
“Do you know what year next year is?”
“It’s the Year of the Rabbit.”
Sister Meng smiled and spread her hands, "The authorities asked you to play Chang'e, isn't that obvious enough?"
Qin Xi: “!!!”
"Sister Meng, why are you panting so hard while talking? You told me such important information at the last minute?!"
Qin Xi suddenly stood up and walked away.
Sister Meng was startled. "Hey, Xiaoxi, where are you going?"
"I'm going to stretch my legs!"
Sister Meng laughed dumbly, "Do you have to be so nervous? There are still three months left! What kind of storms and waves have you not seen?"
Qin Xi rolled her eyes, "Sister Meng, you are so easy to talk, but you are not the one who will jump on the stage next! As for strong winds and waves, the ones I have seen are at most strong winds and waves in rivers and lakes. This time it's the vast ocean! I'm really afraid that if I'm not careful, the sea breeze will blow me away!"
Sister Meng couldn't help laughing. It was quite rare to see Qin Xi looking so anxious. Even when the disciplinary inspection team of the tax bureau investigated her in a high-profile manner, she was not seen so nervous.
"Then there is another good news, are you unable to listen to it?"
Qin Xi sat back in the chair, "Tell me what the good news is first. Now I have doubts about your so-called good news~"
Sister Meng's eyes were full of smiles. "The share income from the first broadcast of [The Biography of Yan Qing] has been settled. Is this... good news?"
Qin Xi's eyes lit up instantly, "How much?!"
Sister Meng pointed out a number, "I have to say that your vision for investment is as good as your vision for choosing dramas. It's only been aired for the first time, but the revenue has already caught up with the salary promised to you at that time! [The Legend of Yan Qing] has been so popular and the discussion has been high. I heard that a company has already bought the copyright for game and animation adaptations, and various peripheral products of Yan Qing's cartoon image are also in full swing. The future income will be endless! Even if you retire from the film industry from now on, [The Legend of Yan Qing] will be enough for you to live on for the rest of your life!"
Qin Xi smiled lightly. She had not discussed it with anyone at the beginning, and she had taken the initiative to give up her film remuneration as shares, just for this day!
As expected, hard work pays off. The broadcast of "The Legend of Yan Qing" was better than the previous life, and the revenue was much higher than expected. Qin Xi thought it would take at least two years to make a profit, but he didn't expect that the pay would catch up with the film pay after the first broadcast.
Sister Meng continued, "This wave of revenue has made Meige very rich. Meige has also been developing better and better in the past two years. President Song has already been negotiating with several companies about plans to acquire shares and go public."
Qin Xi was shocked. She remembered that when she first invested in Meige, she had an in-depth discussion with Mr. Song about the issue of listing. At that time, Mr. Song was still resistant, but after Qin Xi's earnest persuasion, Mr. Song obviously came to his senses. Now he has finally made up his mind to let Meige go public!
"Ms. Song has always believed in your vision, and this time is no exception. She specifically asked me to tell you to go to Meige when you have time. She needs your opinion."
Qin Xi nodded. Even if President Song didn't tell her, since it was concerning Meige's life and death, she would still use the plug-in from her previous life to help President Song.
"Since the project fund for [Yan Qing Chuan] has been approved, and this year is the first year of my studio, I must make a good start! It's almost the end of the year, Sister Meng, prepare a big red envelope for everyone in our studio! It must be thick! Tell Fu Yao not to save money for me!"
Sister Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Everyone else is trying their best to get the money in their arms, but when it comes to you, the money is like a transit station and can't be kept?"
Qin Xi stood up and raised his head, saying proudly,
"As the saying goes, we are born with talents that will be useful, and even if we spend all our money, we will get it back! Money is just a bunch of numbers wherever it is. Only when it is spent can its value be revealed!"
"It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Let my colleagues have a good New Year! Don't worry if you spend it now, I will earn it back tenfold or a hundredfold sooner or later!"
