Shen Lingyou went back yesterday at noon and spent the afternoon and evening writing the lyrics and music for the two songs "Courage" and "Swallowtail Butterfly" that remained in his memory.

Then, it was given to Huo Wenxi, who passed it to Zhou Jianhui to choose one. Unexpectedly, he liked all of them.

It’s normal to think about it, they are all classics, and people who understand music can tell the difference at a glance.

From this perspective, there is an expert behind Zhou Jianhui who is giving him advice.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the music director's appreciation ability is still online.

If you buy both songs, it would be 60.

Shenlingyou will not give you a discount just because you buy a lot.

This price is the ceiling for the entire Chinese music scene.

Just one word - expensive!

But Zhou Jianhui thinks it's worth it.

However, if it is just because of talent, it would not reach this price.

Rather, it is because of the hot sales of the three albums "Heart Too Soft", "Shen Ling You" and "Spark", as well as the popularity of several singles "Descendants of the Dragon", "Yellow Man" and "Red Bean", which reflects the commercial value of the songs.

Of course, part of this is due to the singer.

And Fish Leong is no worse than them. With the two songs "Courage" and "Swallowtail Butterfly", she will surely soar to success and turn the company from danger to safety.

In this way, Zhou Jianhui will be able to keep his position as general manager.

To be honest, if the company doesn't improve, Warner will definitely replace him.

This is also one of the reasons why he insisted on coming to Shenling Tour, which has many conditions and high prices.

Pay the money, get the song, and leave.

Shen Lingyou likes to work with straightforward people the most, with less tricks and more sincerity.

After finishing this matter, Huo Wenxi started to prepare for the TV series "Love Across Time and Space".

"Ah, I play the second male lead? Or Zhu Di? I can't do it." Here, Liu Huohua was surprised and self-doubting after listening to Shen Lingyou's arrangement.

"Remember..." Shen Lingyou patted his shoulder heavily and said seriously: "In a man's dictionary, there is no word 'no'."

Then, his tone softened a bit, and he continued, "This is a pseudo-historical drama, mainly about comedy and romance, so you don't have to worry about not acting like it or acting well."

Then, he used himself as an example and said, "Do you think I look like Zhu Yunwen?"

Liu Huohua laughed innocently. He had gotten over this hurdle in his mind, but a new question came up. He asked, "My grades are not as good as yours, Laizi, and Tingzi's. Will Teacher Chang approve my leave?"

Shen Lingyou said confidently: "Just leave it to me."

Then, I went to talk to Hu Dajing.

Her reaction was exactly the same as Liu Huohua's, she was worried that she wouldn't perform well.

After a brief explanation, he agreed.

The next step is to refine and edit the script.

The drama "Love Across Time and Space" is a two-line development of the four protagonists. One pair is the first love of the lively female thief and the innocent eldest grandson of the emperor, and the other pair is the tragic love between the overbearing prince and the cold and arrogant sister.

But there is a distinction between the main and auxiliary lines. The main line is about Xianxian and Zhu Yunwen, and the auxiliary line is about Zhang Chuchu and Zhu Di.

The edited and deleted parts are the more lengthy and tedious parts of these two lines, making the overall plot compact and concise.

Shen Lingyou has always believed that the number of episodes in a TV series should not be too many.

For suspense and detective stories, 20 to 25 episodes are enough, because there are many twists and turns and the rhythm is clear. If the episodes are too long, it will easily lead to aesthetic fatigue or the plot will be dragged out.

For dramas with strong storylines or that describe growth, 30 to 40 episodes are enough. This way, the character growth, personality development, and psychological changes can be portrayed more delicately, avoiding abrupt changes and disconnection.

For idol dramas or romantic dramas, 20 episodes is the best, with some twists and turns, and a sweet ending. If there are more, the plot will overlap. In general, no matter how good the story is, it can't stand being dragged on.

In the original time and space, the longer a TV series progressed, the larger its volume became, often running to 50 or 60 episodes, or even more. This would be fine if it was well-made, but in reality it was filled with a lot of water, with some having only two or three minutes of previous plot recaps.

On the one hand, the screenwriters are not good at writing stories, and the directors are not good at filming stories.

On the other hand, it is to be able to insert more advertisements and make more money.

Shenlingyou aims to create high-quality products while making money.

However, there won’t be any major changes.

The success of a drama is created by the aesthetic taste of the times.

We cannot use future aesthetics to judge contemporary aesthetics, as this will definitely lead to conflicts.

During break, Chinese Academy of Drama, teachers’ office.

"What, you're going to take two people with you this time?" When Chang Li heard that Shen Lingyou was going to ask for leave for Liu Huohua and Hu Dajing, his voice suddenly became several decibels higher.

"Teacher, this is my new drama..." Shen Lingyou presented the script first, just like before. This was the key to impressing Chang Li, and then explained: "It is expected to start filming in October and end in early January, about two months. They are the second male and female, so they will have fewer scenes. It will take about one and a half months to finish filming and return to school."

Hearing that it would not take up the entire semester, Chang Li's expression eased a lot and he said, "I will decide whether to grant you leave after I finish reading the script."

Shen Lingyou nodded slightly and asked one more question: "Teacher, my leave..."

Chang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "You're fine. Remember to write me a note for your leave."

Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Take care of your own affairs first, and then slowly deal with Liu Huohua and Hu Dajing's.

After he took the lead, the school rule was relaxed.

But it also depends on how strict the class teacher is. If he is, he will not approve it. Then you will only have two choices: drop out or give up.

Another weekend has come, and I am still busy shooting the MV.

This time, the female lead actors are Yu Feihong and Chen Hao, and they each shot a MV.

At this point, there are only five music videos left, which don’t require a female lead.

Shen Lingyou continued recording songs at night.

We are still halfway there.

Relying on his [life] skills, he can speak Cantonese and Japanese, but singing in these two languages ​​is another matter. Things like vocalization, pronunciation, and emotional expression are more difficult than singing in Mandarin.

By mid-September, the MV and song recording were completed at the same time.

Prioritize the post-production of the Japanese album so it can be released at the end of the month.

This month, Wang Jingfei's new album is dominating the Chinese music scene, with total sales exceeding 300 million copies in three weeks. Although the momentum has slowed down, it seems to be heading towards 400 million copies.

The song "Red Bean" has been topping major music charts since its first week of release, with no rivals.

Huo Wenxi is back and brings a lot of good news.

"There are two popular variety shows in Taiwan Province, 'Golden Songs Dragon and Tiger Chart' and 'Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers', both of which have invited you..."

"Several major record companies in Hong Kong have jointly launched the 1998 Asian Superstar Tokyo Concert, and you are on the list..."

"The CCTV Spring Festival Gala director team called and said that your and Sister Fei's performance "Meet in 98" was selected..."
