One person's entertainment

Chapter 154: Classics are passed down forever
Shen Lingyou almost laughed out loud. These two special opportunities were literally given away for free.

The first one is to compose music for Japanese comics.

Although he had no memory of any Japanese songs, the task did not require them to be Japanese songs.

Moreover, he has already thought of which song to match with which Japanese anime.

At this point in time in 1998, the first season of "Initial D" is about to be released.

Then, you can use Jay Chou's "Drifting".

He was very familiar with this song. When he was writing entertainment novels before, he wrote about the movie version of "Initial D" and remembered all the songs in it, including "Drifting", "Destination North" and "Fairy Tale Shattered".

Thanks to his album "新たな征途 (New Journey)" and the Asian Superstar Tokyo Concert, his popularity in Japan has greatly increased. If Huo Wenxi were to go and talk about the songs, it would most likely work.

A Japanese anime compilation album with ten classic Japanese songs, which can make a lot of money again.

Then the second one was entering the Korean market.

The income is at least 18.67 billion Korean won, which is equivalent to 100 million RMB.

Not a lot, you can earn that from one album.

But the problem is, there are no Korean songs in his memory either.

Yes, he had experienced the era when Korean girl groups and boy groups were very popular, and had listened to songs by groups like Girls' Generation, T-ara, Super Junior, etc., but he did not learn to memorize them.

If I want to pursue a career in music, I can only find a Korean lyricist to write the lyrics, just like I did with my previous Japanese album.

However, the main reason why "New Journey" became a hit in Japan is that some of the songs in it were originally Japanese songs, and the style is suitable for Japanese audiences.

The styles of songs that Korean audiences like today are not the styles in his albums.

If we just ask Korean lyricists to write the lyrics, we may not be able to replicate the success of the Japanese album.

This not only fails to complete the task, but also wastes time, energy and money.

However, he had already made plans to enter the Korean market.

It comes in handy now.

In what way?

The idol drama, "Autumn in My Heart", was also written by him when he was writing entertainment novels.

I have been writing on and off for more than a year, and just recently completed the script for 20 episodes.

There is no problem for this drama to make 100 million.

After the New Year, Huo Wenxi can start preparations.

Since they are entering the Korean market, he will definitely play the male lead, and the other actors will remain unchanged.

It takes two months to shoot and three months to produce, and it can be broadcast in less than half a year, which is more than enough time.

Thinking and laughing, Shen Lingyou fell into a sweet dream.

The next day, when I woke up, it was still pitch dark outside.

After winter comes, with the addition of snow, the daybreak becomes later.

I took another nap and waited until dawn before getting up, washing, and going out for morning exercise and breakfast.

In Shichahai, winter swimming enthusiasts stepped onto the ice and opened up a swimming area, attracting a lot of onlookers from citizens.

Shen Lingyou also squeezed in the crowd and watched for a while.

His physical condition is much better than when he first crossed the river, but winter swimming is not a sport that can be enjoyed just by having a good body.

These old men and women start taking it step by step in the summer so that they won't be caught off guard when swimming in the winter.

After returning to the courtyard, I had nothing to do, so I wrote several songs from "The Lotus Lantern", including "Drifting", "All the Way North" and "Fairy Tale Shattered". It also took time to register the copyright.

During the days waiting to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, he stayed at home in a simple house.

I was used to living alone in my previous life, and now I don’t feel lonely or anything even though I’m alone.

During this period, I went to Wang Jingfei's home as a guest, and ended up playing mahjong all night. Time flies, and it is New Year's Eve.

Since it was first broadcast on CCTV in 1983, the Spring Festival Gala has become an integral part of the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Shenjia Village is a small village, but it is more lively than the city.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, men and women, young and old, all came to the yard in front of Shen Lingyou’s house.

Because there were so many people, the TV was moved out.

Everyone was roasting by the fire, eating peanuts and melon seeds, chatting, and waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

"Old Seven is going to be on the Spring Festival Gala this year. He really gives honor to the head of Shen's village."

"Who says he isn't? He's not only our first college student, but also our first big star."

"I've known since he was little that Xiao Qi would have a bright future, and would be able to rise to prominence and bring honor to the family."

"I used to be a little naughty, but I've grown up and become sensible. This year, we spent a lot of money to build this road for our village."

"Yes, there is also a telephone line, so we can contact home when we are working away from home."

"The descendants of the Third Grandma's Cult are really amazing, and they only care about the good of the village."

……

Everyone spoke one by one, praising Shen Lingyou.

He didn't come back, but the money did.

Last year during the Spring Festival, I planned to help the village build a road and install telephone lines, and I did it.

At exactly eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala kicked off with opening remarks by hosts Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Yao and others.

The first language work at the opening was the crosstalk "Sitting Back and Enjoying the Fruits of Other's Labor" by Feng Gong and Niu Qun. This work used a rickshaw as a prop and told a hilarious story.

Song Zuying sang "Good Days", Zhang Ye, Li Guangxi and others sang "Entering the New Era", and Han Lei sang "Traveling Around", which sounded passionate and very contagious.

Tu Honggang, Deng Yaping and others sang "True Hero", Mao Ning, Liu Dehua and Zhang Xinzhe sang "Great China" together, and Liu Huan sang "Hero Song", which greatly touched the audience and made these songs even more popular.

Huang Hong and Song Dandan performed the skit "Going Home", in which a line: When will the Chinese national football team make a name for itself? left a deep impression on the audience.

Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei performed the sketch "New Year Greetings" together. From then on, the iron triangle ushered in their highlight moment of the Spring Festival Gala. The work satirized unhealthy trends.

Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin performed the work "Kung Fu Order", which is a program that interprets Chinese Kung Fu and showcases Chinese traditional culture.

Chen Peisi and Zhu Zhenmao performed the sketch "The Prince and the Postman", which was also their last time to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The most exciting and climax of the whole evening was "Meet in 98" performed by Shen Lingyou and Wang Jingfei.

Shen Lingyou: "Come on, come on, let's meet at 98

Come on, come on, let’s meet in 1998…”

Wang Jingfei: "Meet in the sweet spring breeze
Meet in the eternal youth..."

Together: "Heart to heart, heart to heart

Meet year after year

No matter how far away..."

Shen Lingyou's voice is pleasant, clear, steady and down-to-earth, while Wang Jingfei's voice is ethereal, like a castle in the air.

The combination of the two sounds creates both a sense of happiness and a feeling of distant aftertaste.

It can be said that it is both real and illusion, Shen Lingyou is real and Wang Jingfei is illusion.

The last 20 years of the 10th century are known as the golden decade of pop songs, with 10 being the most glorious. There were so many good songs that year. To put it simply, more than 1998 singers released more than 200 albums this year.

Of course, not all songs stand the test of time, but the ones that survive are the right classics.

"See You in 98" is one of them.
