One person's entertainment

Chapter 116, Unstoppable [Subscribe, monthly ticket]

July 8, Sunday.

Early in the morning, Shen Lingyou set out from the courtyard.

He wasn't with Huo Wenxi today because he had to go to the school to pick up Gao Yuanyuan first.

He hailed a taxi at the entrance of the alley. It was only 8:15 when he arrived at the school gate, but he saw Gao Yuanyuan was already waiting for him there.

Gao Yuanyuan's pure white dress is simple and natural, paired with neat and clean short hair and fresh and soft nude makeup, bringing a rare refreshing feeling to the hot weather that has lasted for many days. It's just that her figure is a little poor for her age.

Shen Lingyou didn't get out of the car, but leaned out of the window and shouted, "Yuanyuan, here!"

Hearing someone calling her, Gao Yuanyuan looked in the direction of the voice, saw him, and immediately trotted over.

After getting in the car, Shen Lingyou asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Gao Yuanyuan arrived at eight o'clock, but she was afraid that he would have trouble waiting, so she said, "No, it will only take a short while."

Shen Lingyou asked again: "Didn't you have breakfast?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded and said "hmm" softly.

Shen Lingyou handed her the soy milk and steamed dumplings he bought at the entrance of the alley and said, "I didn't know what you like to eat, so I bought this."

Gao Yuanyuan quickly said, "I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything."

For her, this breakfast was the happiest meal she had had since she came to the Central Academy of Drama.

It’s not because of what I ate, but because Shen Lingyou bought it.

The little girl's mind is so simple.

They did not go to the Xinghuo office building, but came directly to the filming location.

Zeng Xiaolai and they are not here today.

This weekend, we mainly shot two MVs in which Gao Yuanyuan participated, and the corresponding songs are "Same Time Next Year" and "Unromantic Crime".

In most scenes, there are only the male and female protagonists. If there are passers-by, Zhang Wei and others will make cameo appearances.

Huo Wenxi is not here either.

She took Jiang Qinqin to shoot a commercial.

Currently, among Xinghuo’s artists, only Jiang Qinqin can receive advertisements.

"Brother Shen, where did you find this actress? She's not only pretty, but also knows how to take photos."

"I'm a junior at the Central Academy of Drama. I've filmed commercials before."

Gao Yuanyuan is experienced, which made the shooting go very smoothly.

Shen Lingyou was wondering whether he should let her shoot one or two more MVs.

"Senior, would you like some water?" During the break, Gao Yuanyuan brought over a bottle of ice water.

"Thank you." It's easy to get thirsty in this weather. Shen Lingyou drank a few sips and said to her, "You should also drink more water to avoid getting heatstroke."

"I have something to drink." Gao Yuanyuan replied.

Looking at her well-behaved girl, Shen Lingyou couldn't help but sigh that the 18-year-old girl was like the morning dew, pure and transparent, exuding a fresh breath.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

On Sunday afternoon, Shen Lingyou sent Gao Yuanyuan back to school and gave her an envelope containing her salary for filming the two MVs, but she was unwilling to accept it.

Shen Lingyou deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You think it's too little?"

Gao Yuanyuan waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, I..."

Shen Lingyou interrupted her and said, "If you don't accept it, I won't look for you next time."

Gao Yuanyuan accepted it and continued, "Then, Senior, can I treat you to a meal?"

Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "Of course I can, but not today. I have to go back to the company to record a song." Gao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Well, let's talk about it when you're done."

Shen Lingyou waved goodbye to her, then took a taxi to the Xinghuo office building and recorded songs until 11 o'clock in the evening before returning to the courtyard.

Huo Wenxi hadn't rested yet. When he saw him come back, he gave him a newspaper.

[The new album of Queen Wang Jingfei swept the Chinese entertainment industry, selling 150 million copies in one week! ]

The eye-catching title is seen at first glance.

This trend is even stronger than in the original time and space, and 300 million cannot stop it.

Shen Lingyou couldn't help but compare himself. There was a big gap and he still needed to work hard.

"'Red Bean' topped all major music charts, and another song 'Human World' ranked second, but the data is quite different. It is likely that they will continue to win the championship for a long time." Huo Wenxi said.

There are "Fighting the Fire" with lyrics by Yao Ruolong and music by Chen Xiaoxia, "You Are Happy So I Am Happy" with music by Lin Moumou and Zhang Yadong, and "Human World" with lyrics by Lin Moumou and music by Nakajima Miyuki.

Although "Red Bean" is the weakest song in the entire album "Wang Jingfei", it has become the most popular song.

This song became popular not only because of its beautiful melody, but also because of its delicate and lingering lyrics. Wang Jingfei's voice sounds a little diffuse, but her voice remains intact, especially the emotions in the middle, which flow naturally, making it a model love song.

"Only she can sing it. If I sing it, it won't have the flavor. At most, it will be a short-lived popularity and won't become a classic that can transcend time." Shen Lingyou has self-knowledge.

"It was written specifically for her, specifically to suit her voice and singing style. If you sing it, the quality will definitely be greatly reduced." Huo Wenxi shares the same view.

"In fact, the song 'Because of Love' written for 'Love to the End' is a duet between a man and a woman, and she is the best female voice." Shen Lingyou said again.

"Do you want me to contact Sister Fei?" Huo Wenxi asked.

"It's better for me to talk about this." Shen Lingyou replied.

"I almost forgot one thing. Do you want to release your cover of Fei's "Promise" now, or wait and put it in the next album?" Huo Wenxi said.

"The quality of this song is good enough to be the album's title song, so let's keep it for now. The sales of 'Spark' have entered a sluggish period right now, and its popularity is of no use. It would be a bit of a waste to put it on the charts." Shen Ling lobbied.

The Mandarin version of "Promise" in the original time and space was rewritten and arranged by Yao Ruolong and Chen Xiaoxia, sung by Zhou Hui, and released in 1999.

At that time, it achieved an astonishing sales volume of over 100 million copies and topped the music charts for half a year.

Zhou Hui also became famous for her clear and pure singing voice, and became one of the four hottest divas along with new singers of the same period, Cai Yilin, Elva Hsiao, and Stefanie Sun.

At first, Shen Lingyou wanted to sing it for Jiang Qinqin or Zeng Xiaolai, but their voices and singing skills were not good enough to handle this song, so they finally gave up the idea.

As for the title song of the album, it is not an exaggeration to say that the version he sang is different from Zhou Hui and Wang Jingfei. It cannot be said that he surpassed them, but it has its own flavor.

However, every one of his stock songs can serve as the title song of an album.

Hong Kong, EMI Records.

General Manager Huang Weiqing and producer Liang Rongjun were both shocked by the sales of Wang Jingfei's new album.

You should know that Wang Jingfei's best-selling album at present is "Sky" released in 1994. It sold 90 copies in Taiwan alone, and the total sales reached 350 million copies. It was released in the mainland relatively late, so if the sales here are included, there are at least 500 million copies.

And now, this album "Wang Jingfei" seems to be catching up.

If this is true, then EMI's spending 6000 million to sign Wang Jingfei would be well worth it.

In addition, the cooperation with Shen Lingyou is also very worthwhile.

The key to achieving this sales volume in just one week lies in the success of the song "Red Bean".

Huang Weiqing then began to hope and expect that Shen Lingyou's other song "Meet in 98" could help Wang Jingfei appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

If it succeeds, this year's Chinese music scene will be labeled "Wang Jingfei Year".

However, he seemed to have forgotten someone who might also have this label, Shen Lingyou.
