One person's entertainment

Chapter 149, 1998, Here I Come
Under the cover of night, Shen Lingyou and Huo Wenxi arrived as scheduled.

I thought it would be a rather restrained and dull meal, but with the topic of "music", the atmosphere became relaxed, comfortable and joyful.

Of course, Huo Wenxi was still rather restrained and dull.

Because she doesn't speak Japanese, she can't speak or understand.

Shen Lingyou and Nakajima Miyuki were chatting and laughing, but she could only focus on the food.

The reason why we can chat so happily is not only because of the common topic of music, but also because of our personalities.

This aunt in her 40s is neither pretentious nor exaggerated, but genuine and modest. Perhaps it is the superior living conditions and environment that have created her unique personality of being melancholy, sensitive, and "affectionate and sentimental, hard to forget, and only the romanticism will last forever."

Shen Lingyou admired her talent very much.

Miyuki Nakajima's musical style is mainly lyrical, which can deeply touch the hearts of the audience and convey her understanding and perception of life, love, family and life in her songs.

He showed amazing creativity at the age of 18 and wrote more than 100 songs. Almost all of the more than 500 songs in his career were written and composed by himself.

He has been widely recognized and praised throughout Asia and even the world for his outstanding creative talent and musical ability.

And Nakajima Miyuki's understanding of Shen Lingyou jumped from news to reality, and her surprise and admiration increased a bit. His fluent Japanese, handsome face that made girls feel heartbeat at first sight, and his elegant, polite, calm, steady, and generous words and deeds all showed his charm.

What attracted her most was Shen Lingyou's love and understanding of music, which was different from many musicians.

Make friends with music and achieve mutual success.

Since we made the appointment after the concert, it was quite late and we didn’t have a long meal.

"Sang Chen, goodbye!"

"お元気で(Take care)!"

After saying goodbye, Shen Lingyou and Huo Wenxi returned to the hotel.

In the car.

Huo Wenxi finally got rid of the restraint and boredom, and immediately went to talk to Shen Lingyou. She was so depressed that she said, "You can invite her as a guest at your concert in Japan."

This is certain. Shen Lingyou added: "She just invited me to be a guest at her concert."

Huo Wenxi asked: "Did you agree?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "I have verbally agreed, but it depends on whether the time is right."

Huo Wenxi was shocked and said, "Only you would treat the invitation from the boss like this."

Shen Lingyou just smiled and did not continue the topic. He said, "Unconsciously, another year has passed."

Huo Wenxi looked at the night scene flashing by outside the car window and sighed, "Yeah, it's so fast."

1997 passed just like that.

This year, the entertainment industry has been changing a lot, with not many major events but many minor ones.

In music, the most dazzling male singer is Shen Lingyou. His four albums have sold nearly 10 million copies, which is far superior to other singers. He has also won all the newcomer awards at major music award ceremonies.

Ren Xianqi, Xie Tingfeng, Wang Lihong and other male singers of the same period were left far behind and could not even see his taillights.

There's no other way. Others have to work hard to put together an album, and even releasing a single is very difficult. But he is more productive than a sow, releasing nearly 50 songs a year. Who can compare to him?

There have been many good TV dramas.

Such as TVB's "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Crescent Moon Scimitar" and "The Golden Branch", the mainland Sichuan and Chongqing dialect drama "The Mountain City Bang Bang Army", "The Tai Chi Master" and "The Little Monk" starring Wu Jing..., the family drama "Four Thousand Golds", the costume unit drama "The Strange Cases of Judge Shi", the Qiong Yao drama "You Are So Affectionate", etc.

However, the annual ratings champion was "Kangxi's Private Visits 1", and the runner-up was "Love is Not Blind".

In the movie industry, Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong films still dominate.

Fang Chenglong only released one movie, the Lunar New Year film "A Good Man", which won the Hong Kong annual box office championship with a score of 4542 million Hong Kong dollars, but the total box office was more than 4 million less than last year's number one "Police Stories 1200 Simple Tasks".

Li Lianjie only had one movie released, "Once Upon a Time in China: The Lion of the Western Region", and it was the first time to enter the Lunar New Year period, and the final box office ranked third, which is Li Lianjie's best ranking in the Hong Kong box office chart over the years. Zhou Xingxing had two movies released, "All's Well, Ends Well 2" during the Lunar New Year period and "The God of Cookery" during the summer period, and the box office ranked second and fifth respectively.

The annual box office champion in mainland China was "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", with 7210 million RMB.

The global annual box office champion is "Titanic", with $18.43 billion, and the second place is "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" with $6.19 million, which shows a huge gap.

Moreover, "Titanic" has not yet been released in China.

Entering into 1998.

The first to set sail was the television industry, with the CCTV version of "Water Margin" going on air.

This is the last of the four great classics filmed by CCTV, but its reputation is not as good as the first three, "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it has received mixed reviews after several episodes.

Mainly due to insufficient funds and various restrictions, the filming of the entire Water Margin story was seriously incomplete. Less than half of the 108 Liangshan heroes appeared in the film, and some were not even mentioned by name. For example, among such important characters as the Five Tigers of Liangshan, only three of them, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Hu Yanzhuo, appeared in the film.

After the show was broadcast, a viewer from Shonan was so upset that he smashed his 20-inch TV at home in anger.

However, the theme song "Hero Song" was very popular, and both the old and the young learned to hum a few lines.

However, the ratings were far ahead, averaging 40%, as if the show was going to win the annual championship at the beginning of the year.

Shen Lingyou gathered all the main creators of "Never Close Your Eyes" and held a press conference in Yanjing.

This is also the first TV series in mainland China to hold a press conference specifically for its launch.

Many media were present that day.

"Has the show's premiere time been set?"

"The show will start on January 1, the first day of the Chinese New Year."

……

"What's so special about this play? Can you tell us about it?"

“It’s a police drama that subverts everyone’s perception.”

……

"When will the songs you composed for this drama be released?"

"Please tune in to CCTV-8 at pm tomorrow night when the theme song and trailer will be released, and the TV series soundtrack will be available in audio-visual stores in major cities across the country the next day."

……

This is an advertisement that Shen Lingyou paid for in order to sell CDs.

This is also the first time someone has done this.

CCTV can make money and warm up the TV series at the same time, killing two birds with one stone, so naturally it would not refuse.

The press conference ended soon. Shen Lingyou treated the main creators to a meal, and then everyone went home.

Zeng Xiaolai hadn't seen him for a while and missed him very much. His eyes hardly left him.

"Ziyi has once again received an invitation from director Zhang Yimou, and this time it's real..."

"Qi'er has a boyfriend, he's a senior from the 95 acting class..."

"When you and Huazi were not around, Minghao and Haozi asked Danghao to join them and formed a 'Three Hao' team to play basketball, but they never won once..."

Zeng Xiaolai kept talking, never tired of talking about the interesting things that happened in class and school over the past few months.

Shen Lingyou held her little hand, listened carefully, and occasionally said a word or two.
