One person's entertainment

Chapter 145: The Lotus Lantern

"Let's just drink enough today. Getting drunk is bad for the body. Xiao Shen is just an adult and is still growing. He should not get sick." Liu Huan suggested.

"Hey hey hey, you weren't like this when you drank with me." Tu Honggang protested.

"With your drinking capacity, you'll get drunk after just a few glasses. Should we stop you from the first glass?" Han Lei complained.

"I can do anything." Shen Lingyou said with a smile.

He can drink alcohol, but he doesn't like it.

Since drinking culture is unavoidable, we can only try not to get too drunk.

The last time I got drunk with them, I felt really uncomfortable and it took me a long time to recover.

Liu Huan and Han Lei also took care of him.

It is true that they like to drink, but they are not the type of people who like to persuade others to drink.

The purpose of drinking is to add to the fun. If you feel uncomfortable after drinking, it is better not to drink.

In the hotel private room, the four people were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

The age gap should have been the biggest obstacle to communication between Shen Lingyou and Liu Huan, Han Lei and Tu Honggang, but unexpectedly it became the basis for everyone to communicate and understand each other.

From the first day we met, we felt like we had met too late, like we had met a soulmate. We were both surprised that despite the more than ten-year age difference, we could find resonance in music and literature.

Later, Shen Lingyou thought that this was a kind of similar temperament.

However, the experience gap of more than ten years still exists. Although they treat each other equally and sincerely, and exchange their feelings and views on life, Shen Lingyou is more of a listener rather than a topic initiator.

It is a very good experience to listen to their experiences and stories and learn from their successes and failures.

In fact, whether it is general friendship or friendship between people of different ages, to be able to become friends, there must be some compatibility in some aspects, but to maintain a long-term friendship, mutual and continuous emotional resonance is required.

Therefore, wine is just an auxiliary thing, which can be present or not.

After three rounds of drinks, Liu Huan put down his chopsticks, looked at Shen Lingyou, and asked casually: "Xiao Shen, have you ever dabbled in writing songs for cartoons?"

Shen Lingyou didn't know why he asked that, but he still replied, "Yes."

He didn't answer randomly. As a post-90s generation in his previous life, he watched a lot of anime and cartoons. He still remembered some classic songs clearly, such as the theme song of Ultraman Tiga "Miracle Reappearance", the theme song of Light Messenger "Light Messenger", the theme song of Journey to the West "Monkey Brother", etc.

Liu Huan heard this and laughed, "That's good. Director Chang Xiguang, you may not know him, but he is one of the best animation directors in our country. He is currently making a mythological animation film called The Lotus Lantern. He asked me to write songs a few days ago, but I haven't been feeling well recently. And they want a theme song, an interlude, and an ending song, a total of four songs, which I cannot complete in a short period of time. Then I thought of you and decided to ask you. If you can do it, I will recommend you to do it."

Shen Lingyou did not know Chang Xiguang, but he knew "The Lotus Lantern".

This is the fifth animated feature film produced by Hua Xia after its establishment. The first four were "Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King", "Magic Book of Heaven" and "Monkey King Conquers the Demons". It is also the one with the largest investment and the longest running time. It is also the first time in the history of Hua Xia Animation that a director and sound engineer from a feature film were hired and movie actors were used to dub the characters in the film.

This film can be regarded as an important watershed in domestic animation, with epoch-making significance in connecting the past and the future. It is also the first "commercial animation blockbuster" in the true sense, opening up new directions for the business models and technical means of domestic animation.

Among the four songs in the animation "The Lotus Lantern", except for "Moon Viewing Festival", the other three "Missing You for 365 Days", "The World in My Heart" and "Love is Just One Word" are all familiar.

What about drinking and drinking?

It seems that getting drunk last time was worth it.

Shen Lingyou smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Huan."

Pour the wine immediately.

Liu Huan said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Director Chang's films have always been closely related to music and sound. They play a vital role. They are the implicit expression of the characters' emotions and the spiritual clues that outline the plot. Therefore, he has high requirements for songs. I will only accept them after I get them and confirm that they are suitable." Shen Lingyou filled the wine and said nonchalantly, "That's no problem. When I finish writing, I will record a demo and send it over together."

Tu Honggang laughed and said, "Look, Xiao Shen's self-confidence is so strong."

Han Lei said seriously: "In fact, there is not much difference between cartoon songs and TV drama songs. They all serve the characters and the plot. This is Xiao Shen's strength."

Liu Huan looked relieved, as if he had solved this problem for him. He immediately said to Shen Lingyou: "Since you are willing to take it, then it's settled."

Shen Lingyou raised his glass and said, "This is a toast to you. Cheers!"

Opportunities do not only depend on the system.

As a result, this incident came up and he got so happy that he got drunk again.

However, Shen Lingyou is better than last time and is still conscious.

On the way back to the courtyard, he suddenly burst into laughter.

This startled Huo Wenxi, and he quickly asked, "Ling You, are you okay?"

Shen Lingyou asked back: "Sister Xi, I am smiling like this, do you think it's okay?"

Huo Wenxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled his eyes at him through the rearview mirror and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. You scared me by laughing like that. I'm driving, and if my hands shake, I might drive you into the ditch."

Shen Lingyou laughed again and said, "I am so happy because something good happened."

When Huo Wenxi heard this, he quickly said, "Say it out and make me happy too."

Shen Lingyou didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told the story about Liu Huan.

After hearing this, Huo Wenxi was not very surprised, because she didn't know how powerful the cartoon "Baolian Lantern" was. Instead, she asked worriedly: "You have accepted a lot of songwriting jobs recently. Can you handle it?"

After all, there are concerts, promotions, and the Spring Festival Gala.

Shen Lingyou said, "I can handle it."

He couldn't say it directly, but these songs were all in his mind and could be retrieved anytime and anywhere, and it didn't take much time and energy at all.

Huo Wenxi said softly: "I know you want to build your career and company as soon as possible, but you also have to take care of your health. There is a saying that 'health is the capital of revolution', right?"

Shen Lingyou smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Xi. I understand."

Huo Wenxi nodded and said, "As long as you understand, by the way, how was today's Spring Festival Gala rehearsal?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "No problem, Sister Fei sings very well."

Huo Wenxi smiled lightly and said, "I'm asking you."

"Me?" Shen Lingyou burped and then laughed, "I have no problem at all. I sang perfectly on stage."

When Huo Wenxi heard him say this, she didn't know whether it was just drunken talk.

However, with his ability, there will be no problem. His performance at the 97 Hong Kong Comeback Concert was truly flawless.

I wanted to ask him more details, but when I saw from the rearview mirror that he seemed to be asleep, I didn't disturb him.
