Chapter 69: Jing Tian's Minor Hit

"For the project 'Room', the child actor is very important. Let's relax the age range to 5-8 years old and get it finalized as soon as possible."

Wei Jin was in his office giving instructions to Liu Yan. This role was different from others; it had to be decided early, and she would need to build a rapport with Ceng Li, otherwise, it would be difficult to perform effectively.

"For the role of the madman Lao Ma, I'm leaning towards An Jiahe—no, wait, Teacher Feng Yuanzheng. As for the father and mother, let's invite Teacher Zhang Guoli and Teacher Zhang Kaili. The main thing is to secure their schedules in advance."

Today, Liu Yan was dressed in professional attire, wearing high heels, black silk stockings, and a hip-hugging skirt. Coupled with heaven's gift, her figure was perfectly curved.

At this moment, she was holding a notebook with a solemn expression, taking notes.

"Understood, President Wei."

Liu Yan had been at the company for nearly a month. The benefits were good; the company had arranged staff housing for her. She didn't have many expenses following Wei Jin every day, and no one with eyes dared to covet her, so staying there was quite comfortable. It was just that she felt her abilities weren't being put to use.

"'Time-Space Cohabitation' starts filming in February. Go get a script and pick a role."

Wei Jin also knew this girl had dreams of being a star, and he was willing to help if there was an opportunity.

"Okay, thank you, President Wei."

Liu Yan was pleasantly surprised. This was a Wei Jin movie, after all. Even if it were just a supporting role, it would be enough for her to get some exposure. President Wang really hadn't lied to her.

Wei Jin ignored Liu Yan's internal monologue; the time he had agreed to meet Jing Tian was almost up. Jing Tian had been very happy lately because she had become a minor hit.

In mid-December, Jing Tian's first single, "Little Luck", was officially released.

At first, sales were not optimistic; after all, she was just a little girl with no fame and no previous works.

But as time passed, this song caused a huge reaction on the internet, and many netizens left comments after listening to it:

"It reminds me of the innocent friendship and love of my student days. Now that I've missed out and grown up, I can only miss it and sigh."

"It was lucky to meet him, but I didn't cherish it at the time. After losing him, I no longer have the right to shed tears."

"I hope he can meet the person he loves. I envy that girl for having him; having him is a little luck."

As the creator of the song, Wei Jin was mentioned once again, and netizens marveled at his talent.

The singer, Jing Tian, also became a minor hit. After watching the music video, many netizens were captivated by this youthful, beautiful girl with exquisite features.

Of course, there was no shortage of people curious about Jing Tian's background. One had to know that being able to get a song written by Wei Jin was no simple matter.

The most direct manifestation was that Jing Tian would have fans coming up to ask for autographs when she walked on the street. Jing Tian was very happy about this; not only did she sign autographs and take photos, but she also generously gave her snacks to the fans to thank them for their support.

After this act was posted online, she was given the nickname "Little Foodie". More and more people grew to like this authentic and unpretentious girl, supporting her works one after another, and the single's sales climbed all the way up.

When Jing Tian called Wei Jin to share the good news, her smile seemed to be overflowing from the other end of the phone.

The actions against Zhang Yadong and Wheatfield had been going on for two months.

In the last week, Wei Jin had received calls from many well-known figures in the music industry; even Liu Huan and the diva Wang Fei had called to mediate.

Thinking that they might cooperate in the future, and since the matter had dragged on long enough, Wei Jin didn't want to lose face for these two. After communicating with Lu Zheng, he agreed.

Today was the day Liu Huan hosted a banquet and Zhang Yadong offered a formal apology.

Wei Jin brought Jing Tian to the private room of the restaurant and saw that Liu Huan, Ai Dajin, and Zhang Yadong were already waiting inside.

Wei Jin first greeted Liu Huan; after all, he was a famous name in the industry, and the proper respect had to be given.

He also nodded to Ai Dajin in greeting, but as for Zhang Yadong, Wei Jin didn't even look at him.

Jing Tian was acting like a well-behaved child, following Wei Jin wherever he went, and greeting whoever he greeted.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Ai Dajin first invited Wei Jin to sit in the main seat with Jing Tian beside him. Then Liu Huan took the host's seat and began to lecture Zhang Yadong in front of everyone. Finally, it was time for the main meal, and Zhang Yadong served tea to apologize.

"Miss Jing Tian, I am deeply sorry for my previous slip of the tongue. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying this, he respectfully handed over a teacup. Seeing this scene, Wei Jin felt it was enough; one shouldn't push a person too far.

Jing Tian was at a loss when faced with this display and turned to look at Wei Jin.

Seeing Wei Jin nod, Jing Tian stood up and took the teacup.

"Forget it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a reason to ask Brother Wei Jin to help me record a song. Let's just leave it at that."

The people present, including Wei Jin, were surprised to hear this, gaining a deeper understanding of the little girl's straightforwardness. Liu Huan even said directly that if Jing Tian wanted to record songs in the future, she should just come to him.

"Why don't you thank Teacher Liu yet? This is something many people can't even ask for." Wei Jin naturally understood what Liu Huan meant; he was building a bridge between the two parties.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu Huan. Please give me more guidance in the future."

Jing Tian's attitude was very respectful, focusing on being well-mannered and well-bred.

"Haha, I have to say, the song Wei Jin wrote for you this time is very good, and you sang it very well. You have the potential to be a singer."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Liu Huan began to praise Jing Tian, and his evaluation of "Little Luck" was quite high.

During the meal, Ai Dajin frequently toasted Wei Jin to show goodwill. Only after this did he understand Wei Jin's strength and weight.

"Speaking of your creative talent, President Wei, it's truly remarkable. It's a pity you can't focus on music; this is a great loss for the Chinese music scene."

Ai Dajin's words were somewhat flattering, but they were mostly his true thoughts. He had wanted to work with Wei Jin before, but unfortunately, this incident happened. However, now that they had turned hostility into friendship, there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"You flatter me. Creative inspiration is very important. Many of my inspirations come when I am conceiving a movie, so I can't let go of my main profession."

Wei Jin brushed it off with a few words. If he were really asked to focus on writing songs, how many could he actually copy?

"Wei Jin is right. Inspiration is a mysterious thing; it cannot be forced. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet on the box office success. When are you holding the celebration banquet? I'll come by to have a drink then."

Liu Huan could feel Wei Jin's respect for him and was also willing to befriend this big director and producer who was currently the most prominent figure in the country.

"It's on the 20th, the day after tomorrow night. It would be a great honor if Brother Huan could attend."

As early as the beginning of January, the investors were preparing to hold a celebration banquet, but it happened that Wei Jin had that incident, so it wasn't very convenient.

On the 15th, when the box office broke records, President Han of China Film Group called and said the celebration banquet must be held in a grand manner, so the two of them set the date.

After a few drinks, Wei Jin was already calling Liu Huan brother; it was really because Liu Huan was also a straightforward person, which suited Wei Jin's taste.

And Liu Huan also greatly appreciated the musical talent Wei Jin displayed and the respect he showed him.

For a time, except for Zhang Yadong, who was a bit awkward and restless, the others seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Brother Wei Jin, are you going back to your hometown for the New Year?"

On the way to the parking lot after the meal, Jing Tian asked, "I should be going back. I haven't seen the old man all year; I miss him a bit."

Wei Jin was telling the truth. Although he had transmigrated, the care and love Wei Xingbang had shown him over the past two years were not fake.

"Then can I go back with you?"

"Tian Tian, you are still young; do you want to meet the parents this early?"

Hearing the young girl's somewhat ambiguous words, Wei Jin couldn't help but tease her.

"Oh, Brother Wei Jin, that's not what I meant, I was saying... you're bullying me again."

Hearing Wei Jin's words, Jing Tian felt a bit shy and annoyed for a moment, and she hurriedly tried to explain.

"Haha, I just like teasing you; who told you to be so cute."

As Wei Jin spoke, he pulled the young girl into his arms; the two were very close, and they both seemed to be able to feel each other's breath.

How could a young girl like Jing Tian withstand such teasing from Wei Jin? A flush spread from the base of her neck all the way up to her face, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily; she was terrified that Wei Jin would start a confession the next moment, yet she also felt a faint sense of anticipation, feeling very conflicted.

"Tian Tian, I would like to invite you to the celebration banquet the night after tomorrow; after all, the box office also includes your contribution."

Jing Tian let out a sigh of relief in her heart, but she also felt a bit disappointed, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, okay, will there be a red carpet to walk on then?"

After experiencing a wave of popularity, Jing Tian was now very much looking forward to appearing in public so that her fans could see her.

"If you really want to walk one, I can lay one out just for you, haha."

"Ah, Brother Wei Jin, you're making fun of me again."

The two laughed and joked along the way; the handsome man and beautiful woman truly made for a beautiful scene. The new book is now available; I earnestly request all readers to kindly provide subscriptions and bookmarks, thank you everyone!
