One person's entertainment

Chapter 158, "Asian Superstar"

The popularity of "My Fair Princess" was also due to the right time, right place and right people.

This drama is different from the pattern of Qiong Yao's traditional tragic love dramas. It abandons these small love patterns and takes "a pearl in the ocean recognizes its father" as the main line and palace fighting as the sub-line.

In the hands of mainland directors, a popular palace drama that suits the imagination of mainland audiences has been developed. The plot has a fast pace, and poetry and songs are interspersed into the lines, making it suitable for all ages and both the elite and the masses to appreciate.

Children watch it for the fun, teenagers watch it for the first love, young people watch it for the responsibility of love, and middle-aged and elderly people watch it for the family ethics. Everyone watches it and ponders it. Coupled with the excellent acting skills of the actors, the well-made costumes and props, as well as the beautiful exterior and interior scenes, it is natural that the film will be popular.

If the drama becomes popular, the characters will become popular, and the actors will also become popular.

The first one is Zhao Wei, who played Xiaoyanzi. Although she had collaborated with the big-name actress Gong Li in the movie "Painting Soul" as early as 1993, and has since participated in many film and television works, she has always been tepid until she starred in "My Fair Princess" and became famous.

Then there is Jiang Qinqin who plays Ziwei, the most beautiful woman in the whole play. She is gentle, well-educated, and has a pair of big watery eyes that are so charming that anyone who sees her will feel pity for her.

She is a little more famous than Zhao Wei. She had previously played in "Xi Shi" and "The Secret Visits of Kangxi", which earned her some fame.

This time, he became a huge star thanks to "Return of the Condor Heroes" and can be said to be as well-known as "Shen Lingyou".

Finally, there are Fan Qiaoqiao who played Jinsuo and Lin Xinru who played Princess Seya. They didn't have many roles but they also gave stunning performances and were loved by the audience. They just weren't as popular as Jiang Qinqin and Zhao Wei.

After seeing the huge viewership of Return of the Condor Heroes, Qiong Yao immediately started filming the second part, which was scheduled to start in April. While continuing to use the original cast, she added new characters such as Qing'er, Xiang Fei, Xiao Jian and others.

In addition, due to the high ratings and good reputation, the songs released in advance became popular again.

Among them, the theme song "Dang" sung by the Blue Ocean Band has been on the top of major music charts.

"Brothers, we finally made it!"

Wu Xianliang shed tears of excitement.

For the first time, people knew that there was a band called "Blue Ocean" in the mainland; for the first time, they tasted the taste of "red"; for the first time, they really made money.

A big shot once said, "Making music shouldn't just be for the sake of being famous." This is just talk. How can you make money to support your family if you're not famous? How can you stick to your musical dream if you can't even make a living?
"Brother Shen is mighty!"

Everyone was very grateful to Shen Lingyou.

He could have sung this song and "Love Until Death" himself, but he gave it to them.

It’s hard to find a boss like this even with a lantern.

Gao Yuanyuan gave the signed contract to Shen Lingyou the next day, and could not find any reason not to join Xinghuo.

"Brother Shen, I heard that our school does not allow freshmen and sophomores to perform outside during class time." Gao Yuanyuan was worried that she would not be able to take leave.

"Leave it to me. I will talk to your class teacher and the school. No problem." This was not the first time Shen Lingyou had done this.

"Also, I've never acted before, so I don't know where to start when I get the script." Gao Yuanyuan agreed readily at the time, but after calming down, she found that she knew nothing about acting. All she learned in the first semester of her freshman year were the basics, which she could not apply in practice at all.

"Finish reading the script and write a short biography of your character. Use words and imagination to gain a deeper understanding of your character's relationships, dynamics, motivations, fears, goals, experiences, etc. Remember, the focus of acting is not on acting, but on living for the character. As for how to perform specifically, the director and I will guide you when you get to the set." Shen Lingyou told her a relatively easy method.

"I understand." Gao Yuanyuan took note.

Afterwards, Shen Lingyou went to ask for leave for her.

I encountered some difficulties, after all, it was not in my class, so I asked Chang Li to help me solve it.

He is now Chang Li's favorite disciple, and is willing to help him as long as the favor is not too outrageous.

At this point, several important things have been implemented. After school in the afternoon, after having dinner in the cafeteria, Shen Lingyou went to the basketball court with Liu Huohua and others.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Some old rivals waved to him and issued challenges.

Here, there are no big stars, but a group of young people who love sports and like basketball.

Shen Lingyou took off his coat and handed it to Zeng Xiaolai, then called Liu Huohua and Chen Minghao to come on stage.

He hasn't relaxed for a long time, and today he wants to sweat hard on the court.

The fight lasted until the lights in the basketball court were turned off at 10:30 in the evening.

College is busy, but it’s not just about studying, there’s also a colorful extracurricular life.

I returned to the dormitory and took a quick shower.

After getting into bed, Shen Lingyou was not in a hurry to fall asleep as there was still some time before turning off the lights.

He took out his notebook and prepared to find some songs for "Autumn in My Heart".

Since it is not a resource rewarded by the system, there is no original soundtrack, so you have to rely on yourself.

What he wanted was that he would compose the theme song, interlude and ending song, and find a professional composer to compose the music.

As far as I can remember, there were a few covers of Korean songs.

The first song is "From the Beginning to Now" by Zhang Xinzhe, the second song is "If Love Has Destiny" by Li Jian, and the third song is "Fate Sky" by Sun Nan, which is just enough to be the theme song, interlude and ending song.

His current Korean and Japanese proficiency levels are the same, so he can follow in the footsteps of translating Japanese versions of the lyrics for "Drifting" and "Driving North" and translate the lyrics for these three songs into Korean as well.

Just do it and write the Mandarin version first.

A week later, the Korean versions of the three songs were also completed.

Shen Lingyou gave the arrangement to Wu Xianliang to make the accompaniment tape. There was no rush to record it, and he would do it after the filming of the drama was completed.

At the same time, he is working on this year's album.

The first one, "Jingge Jinqu 2", is an album made with the unreleased songs from "Jingge Jinqu".

The second one, "Guofeng", is a Chinese-style album with "Dongfengpo" as the main title song.

This year we have tentatively planned to release two albums, not because we don’t have enough inventory, but because we don’t need to rely on quantity to increase popularity.

Moreover, once I get those two special opportunities, the reward I’ll get is the ability to produce a Japanese album and a Korean album, which means I’ll have four albums this year.

Now, the Asian market can gain a firm foothold.

If he continues to promote Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and Korean and Japanese movies, he will be able to become an "Asian superstar" in the near future.

Of course, this takes a lot of time. No matter how fast the filming and production of a film or TV series is, it will take 4 to 6 months.

At this time, Huo Wenxi called and said that the crew had been formed and could start filming at any time.

So, Shen Lingyou took Gao Yuanyuan to South Korea.
