One person's entertainment

Chapter 12, Genius

The weather is really good today. The sunshine on my face is warm and very comfortable.

However, Zeng Xiaolai had no time to take care of these things, as her mind was confused again at this moment.

This boy, who was one year younger than her, had brought her so many surprises in just a few days.

First, I could sing and write songs;

Then there is acting;

Now here comes someone who can write scripts and direct movies.

is this real?
It is really happening right before my eyes, how can it be fake?
In this case, there are only two words to explain it - genius.

If Shen Lingyou knew what Zeng Xiaolai was thinking at this moment, he would definitely say, I’m not a genius, I’m just a cheater.

The reason why he dared to take on the script and filming was not because he was capable of it, but because he had the means to deal with it.

The script, "Too Soft Heart" awarded by the system, not only has the lyrics, music, and arrangement, but also the original MV, which can be viewed on the system panel. You can just copy it.

Filming. The last mission gave me a ten-year director experience card (one day). Maybe this thing was prepared for today.

So, he just didn't believe it. The bowl of rice had already been put into his mouth, so how could he not swallow it?
Men, you have to do it even if you can’t!

In the small villa, Chen Jiantian and Zheng Jun were still talking about their trip to Shenling.

"I didn't expect you would agree to let him take the photo."

"I was touched by his confidence. Even if we take a step back, this is his MV, so he should be the center of it. Besides, it is clearly stated in the contract that he has the absolute right to this cooperation."

"Are you interested in him?"

"You can say that."

"That explains it. By the way, do you believe what he said? Does he have a lot of songs on hand?"

"Xin, there's no point in deceiving us with this."

……

Chen Jiantian couldn't explain exactly why he was so interested in Shen Lingyou. It seemed that Shen Lingyou had a special magic that attracted his attention.

Zheng Jun thought that Shen Lingyou was indeed extraordinary. What he meant by was that he had a very good sense of propriety in interacting with others, even better than him, who had been in society for many years.

Chen Jiantian began to think about how to sign Shen Lingyou to the company.

Generally speaking, the only thing that cannot be agreed upon is "money".

As for the profit sharing, he gives 30% to newcomers, 40% to those with a little fame, and 50% to those who are popular.

Among them, the copyright of the song belongs to the company.

So, what is Shen Lingyou’s bottom line?
Four or six?

Five-five?

Or higher?

No matter how hard Chen Jiantian tried, he could never have imagined that Shen Lingyou wanted to become a capitalist and wanted both money and copyright.

The reason is exactly the word "money".

Shen Lingyou lived to 2024 in the original time and space. How could he not know how important song copyright is to singers?
For example, Zhou Jielun started his own company to manage the copyright of songs, and collecting royalties in a year is a small goal.

Another example is Deng Ziqi. After falling out with the company, not only could she not sing her songs, she couldn’t even use her name.

Shen Lingyou's family is well-off and he has no shortage of money at the moment, so there is no need for him to sell himself, let alone his songs.

Even if you give a song to someone, you still have to keep the copyright of the song.

Even if a song becomes popular a few years later and is considered non-mainstream online in its original time and space, it should be treated equally.

For example, "The Mouse Loves Rice", "Ten Thousand Reasons", "Two Butterflies" and so on, the genuine cassette discs may not sell for much money, but the income from ringtones can be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Central Academy of Drama, dormitory building.

"meet tomorrow."

"okay bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After parting with Zeng Xiaolai at the second-floor staircase, Shen Lingyou returned to the dormitory. He didn't have time to care where his roommate was and immediately started working on the script.

A good memory is not as good as a good pen. Writing it down is intuitive and convenient.

He did not copy the original MV of "Too Soft Hearted" in its entirety, but added some of his own ideas into it to make this version of the MV more suitable for him.

In Chen Jiantian's words, an MV is just the icing on the cake for a song, not a life-saving measure. It doesn't matter whether it is good or not, as long as it exists.

That's true, but Shen Lingyou has a different opinion.

Song MVs may be dispensable in the era of the boom of short videos, but they play a vital role at the moment when the Internet has not yet developed.

Firstly, through the combination of MV camera language, character modeling, scene layout and other elements, singers can create different images and build their own style.

Secondly, MV can present the emotion, artistic conception and theme of music to the audience more intuitively through the organic combination of images and music, better convey the connotation and emotion of the song, thereby enhancing the expressiveness and appeal of the song.

In short, MVs can not only enhance the artistic value of songs, but also attract attention through creativity and production techniques, which helps to spread and promote songs and singers.

Another point is that Shen Lingyou doesn't want to leave a "famous name" for the future.

That old friend, a song, a basketball, and a dance took the entire Internet by storm and did not subside for a long time.

It’s better not to have such “fire”!

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of laughter interrupted Shen Lingyou's thoughts, and he subconsciously looked towards the dormitory door.

Qin Hao, Liu Huohua, and Chen Minghao opened the door and came in.

"Didn't you take the class beauty to shoot a MV? You finished it so early?" Liu Huohua asked in surprise.

"There was a problem with the filming, so the time has been changed to tomorrow." Shen Lingyou replied.

Thinking that this would be known sooner or later anyway, he took the initiative to tell several roommates.

If you don't tell me in advance, if someone sees him going out with Zeng Xiaolai, who knows how the news will spread.

He doesn't care, the key is that it has a bad influence on girls.

"Tomorrow..." Chen Minghao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that. He squeezed onto Shen Lingyou's stool and said, "I'm free tomorrow. Can I go with you? I haven't seen how an MV is shot yet."

Shen Lingyou thought about it and it seemed like there was no problem. It was his own MV, he could write, direct and act in it himself. It would only take a few words from Chen Jiantian. So he nodded and said, "Okay."

Qin Hao followed and said, "I'll go too."

Liu Huohua was unwilling to be left behind and said, "And me."

Shen Lingyou said with a smile, "Okay." After that, he changed the subject and said, "But I have to remind you first, when you arrive at the scene tomorrow, if you have anything to ask, wait until the break to ask, and don't disturb the filming."

"Roger that!"

"clear."

"do not worry."

All three of them patted their chests and made the promise.

Liu Huohua seemed to remember something and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Shen Lingyou shook his head and looked at the watch on his wrist. He found that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. He slapped his forehead and said, "I was so busy that I forgot the time."

Liu Huohua urged: "Why don't you go quickly, there won't be any food in the cafeteria soon."

Only then did Shen Lingyou get up to eat.
